Chapter 429: Chapter 361: Be Sure to Take Care

A faint scent of fresh grass then began to spread throughout the tent.

Wu Yue sniffed the light fragrance and sighed, "To think its poop would smell this good. I can’t tell if I have weird tastes, or if the Fireball Beast is just that amazing."

Seeing the enraptured expression on her face, System also wrinkled its little nose and sniffed. "It’s not that you have weird tastes. I think it smells really good, too."

"System, test this scent for toxicity."

"One point. Thank you for your business!"

It was only one point, so Wu Yue paid it without hesitation. The System was highly efficient; the test results were ready within a few breaths.

"The gas produced by burning Fireball Beast dung can soothe the mind, relax the body and spirit, and wash away all your mental fatigue~"

"Holy cow, isn’t this dung a little *too* amazing?" Wu Yue took the Fireball Beast poop out of her system inventory, her eyes glittering as she stared at the stone bowl.

System stood up. "Host, you need to calm down. You have to remember that you’re holding a lump of poop. Even if it can soothe the mind and smells good, you can’t eat it."

An exasperated Wu Yue scooped up System from her feet and smacked its chubby little butt a few times. "I’m not an idiot! Why would I eat poop?!"

Now that she knew how precious the Fireball Beast dung was, Wu Yue began to carefully observe the piece still burning in the stone bowl.

A thumb-sized piece of Fireball Beast dung burned for a good ten minutes. Even after the flame went out, embers flickered within the ash, not extinguishing completely until half an hour later. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Its long-burning nature and pleasant scent instantly gave Wu Yue a bold idea.

"System, what if we take all this dung back to the tribe, save it, and use it for fuel during the winter?"

When System heard this, its small, glossy black eyes grew incredibly bright.

It imagined a warm fire glowing inside a sturdy brick house, making the room incredibly cozy. After eating its fill, it would sprawl out on a soft bed, sleeping with its little belly exposed while the air filled with the grassy fragrance of burning Fireball Beast dung.

Lost in this fantasy, System instantly felt it had reached the peak of its existence.

Seeing her System’s dazed look, Wu Yue didn’t disturb its daydreaming. She gleefully took out the remaining Fireball Beast dung, broke off another small piece, tossed it into the stone bowl, and lit it.

The faint, grassy scent once again spread through the tent, refreshing and pleasant.

In this warm and comfortable atmosphere, the person and her system actually got a rare, good night’s sleep. Even the normally annoying mosquitoes were gone.

The next day, Wu Yue gathered all the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors and told them what she had done the previous night—burning the Fireball Beast dung.

Upon hearing that she had secretly burned the Fireball Beast dung, the Beastmen were naturally disapproving. Yuan Lang even gave her a very stern scolding.

Wu Yue good-naturedly let him finish nagging before sharing what she had discovered the previous night.

"So, we can collect all this Fireball Beast dung. Something that burns for so long is much more useful than firewood."

The other Beastmen were very tempted when they heard this.

Charcoal existed in the world where Yuan Lang and the others lived, but he didn’t know how to make it.

The other three tribes were unaware of the Snow Tiger Beastmen’s little secret. They only noticed later on that the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors had become much more diligent about picking up dung.

Sometimes, they would even "kindly" help the other three tribes with the task.

They even carried it far away for burial, unlike the other three tribes who just buried it on the spot. The behavior of the Snow Tiger Tribe’s members made the Beastman Warriors from the other tribes feel a little ashamed.

They resolved to pick up more dung tomorrow and take it farther away for burial.

As the sky grew dark, everyone finished their food and returned to their tents to rest.

Exhausted from her "busy" day, Wu Yue fell asleep the moment she lay down on the Beast Skin.

Half-asleep, she thought she heard a noise outside, but a wave of drowsiness washed over her, and she couldn’t tell whether she was dreaming or awake.

It wasn’t until a tall, sturdy figure threw open the tent flap, yanked the Beast Skin around her, and scooped her into his arms, sprinting into the distance, that Wu Yue finally woke up as the cool night wind blew across her face.

They weren’t the only ones running through the forest. The Beastman Warriors from the Black Wolf Tribe, the Lion Tribe, and the Flying Eagle Tribe were all there as well.

The expressions on the faces of the Beastman Warriors were grim, and even Yuan Lang looked exceptionally grave.

Wu Yue poked her head out from the Beast Skin, about to ask what was going on, when her gaze locked onto a vast patch of fiery red in the distance. The forest was on fire!
