Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 250: System, We’ve Got Business

Shu Yun looked at them. "Don’t worry. The witch and the Clan Leader already know about this and have arranged for our tribesmen to dig in shifts. The digging on the other side won’t stop, so we won’t be slowing down. We’ll connect to the tribe’s territory in two days at the latest.

After that, we won’t have to be so cautious, and we’ll be able to work even faster."

"Uncle, are you also staying here to dig with us?"

Shu Yun nodded. "Yes. Shuye and I will be taking turns."

When Wu Yue heard this, her eyes sparkled. ’This father-son duo’s digging skills are simply masterful.’

She immediately rolled up her non-existent sleeves. "I’ll make some delicious food for you all later."

Having said that, she suddenly remembered that their current situation wasn’t suitable for making food with a strong aroma.

She scratched her head, a bit embarrassed. "I forgot. We’d better not make too many fires right now. Once we get to the Snow Tiger Tribe’s territory, I’ll definitely make some really, really delicious food for everyone."

The moment she finished speaking, a chorus of GULPs could be heard as everyone swallowed hard. The Beastman Warriors looked at Wu Yue, their eyes full of anticipation. "Is it even more delicious than roasted meat?"

Wu Yue lifted her chin proudly. "Of course."

Seeing the tribe’s young Beastman cubs looking so ravenous, Shu Yun also found himself looking forward to it.

They took out two of the wild boars that had been cured the day before. After the Beastman Warriors quickly divided up the meat and ate, they threw themselves into their digging with soaring spirits.

「Meanwhile, in the Black Wolf Tribe.」

The Black Wolf Witch stared at the wretched-looking Beastman Warriors before him, his old face dark with fury.

"Did your Clan Leader kick you all in the head? You heard the ferocious rat pack, and instead of running for your lives, you went to help them dig a pit!

What? Did you think the rats that could strip you to the bone were digging too slowly? Were you that desperate to meet them?"

With that, he mercilessly smacked the lead Beastman on the back. The sound was so loud that all the other Beastmen in the straw hut ducked their heads in unison.

"Did you run into anyone from the Snow Tiger Tribe during the hunt yesterday?"

The Black Wolf Witch’s gaze darkened as he looked at the Beastmen in the straw hut.

A Beastman clutched his Beast Skin tighter and said in a low voice, "We ran into them while chasing prey. They were heading toward the Snow Tiger Tribe and were even carrying some fruit from our territory."

The Beastman pouted unhappily as he spoke, muttering, "It’s not like we have that much fruit to begin with."

The witch shot him an irritated glance, then lay back in his nest of straw and closed his eyes. He waved a hand dismissively. "All of you, get out. Just looking at you is a headache."

The Beastmen looked as if they had just been granted amnesty. They shot to their feet, bid the Black Wolf Witch a respectful farewell, and then bolted out of the hut.

Only when the straw hut fell silent did the Black Wolf Witch open his eyes again. He frowned at the two turtle shells in his hand and murmured, ’Why were the results of yesterday’s divination so strange?’

Meanwhile, back in the tunnel on the high slope, the Beastman Warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe were split into different groups, toiling away with their claws.

They took turns with one another, not even stopping at night.

Wu Yue was in the tunnel, studying the deep blue crystal, when she suddenly thought of her System, which had been quiet for a long time.

She called out in her mind, ’System, I’ve got some business for you.’

’Only a fool would turn down a paying customer.’

"DING! Dear Host, your devoted System is now online. How may I be of service?"
