Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 267: Professional Partner-Pitting, No Mercy

As if to ease her own awkwardness, Qingcao tugged on Wu Yue’s pelt flap. "Yue, those wild boars are eating. Let’s use this chance to slip away."

Wu Yue turned to her, speechless. "Of course I know we have to slip away, but shouldn’t you put on your Beast Skin first?"

Qingcao looked at the Beast Skin clothes she had carelessly tossed to the other side of the pool, her expression grave. "No, we can’t waste a single second. We have to go now."

Wu Yue: "..."

’If I couldn’t feel your blubber trembling, I’d have actually fallen for your act!’

’The coward is definitely just scared to go because the Beast Skin is too close to the taro patch!’

’But...’

Wu Yue silently rubbed her nose. She didn’t dare go either...

So, she looked at Qingcao behind her and said, "Are you sure you want to go out like this? Streaking, you mean?"

Qingcao stared nervously at the family of boars in the distance. "Of course we’re going out like this! What’s ’streaking’? We need to be ’sprinting’ right now!"

Wu Yue wiped her face. "I guess I was the one with the small-minded view..."

With that, she flicked her own pelt flap and prepared to sneak behind the big rock before making a run for it.

"AAAAH! Yue, run! The boars are about to see us!"

Before she could even explain her plan, a ball of flesh shot past her, screaming as she ran.

Just as Wu Yue was touched, thinking this girl was sacrificing herself to buy her time to escape, Qingcao suddenly turned and screamed in her direction...

She watched the family of wild boars turn and charge right at her!

’Looking at a certain female streaking in the distance, she had a few choice words that she wasn’t sure were proper to say!’

Whether she would say them or not was a problem for later. Wu Yue instantly leaped out of the pool and scrambled up the large rock beside it.

Several wild boars with bloodshot eyes repeatedly rammed the rock from below, but the large stone stood firm, not budging an inch.

Wu Yue couldn’t help but sigh in relief. "My life is safe for now..."

Watching the family of boars desperately ramming the stone below, she felt a headache coming on.

’Did all the wild boars in this world train in the Iron Head Technique or something?’

’How are they completely fine after ramming it over and over again?’

’Their kung fu is truly top-notch.’

Letting out a slow breath, Wu Yue sat down on the big rock, her legs feeling a bit weak.

But in the next moment, her ominous premonition came true. The large rock beneath her actually began to slowly shift toward the pool of Sharp-toothed Fish up ahead.

Wu Yue instantly panicked. She stood up and looked down at the family of boars below the rock.

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she could have sworn she saw sinister smiles on the faces of those boars...

"Host, you should be thinking about how to save yourself right now. What kind of sinister smile can a pig have? Did you think that was Pigsy and his family down there?"

Wu Yue rubbed her nose in embarrassment. Feeling the big rock move beneath her, she let out a miserable sigh.

"Qingcao, you damned liability! You’ve been streaking out there for so long, haven’t you found any reinforcements yet?"

The System, silent for a long while, suddenly made a dry joke: "The kind of reinforcements a monkey would bring?"

Wu Yue chuckled humorlessly. "Your jokes are ice cold..."

"Yue! Don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you!"

At that moment, Qingcao’s voice was like that of a goddess descending from the heavens to save Wu Yue’s—HOLY CRAP!!!

Looking in the direction of the voice, Wu Yue was instantly dumbfounded.

’Damn it, Qingcao!’

’Can you please tell me why you left naked and alone, only to come back... naked and alone?!’
