Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 276: A New Task

The Witch and Clan Leader certainly worked fast. The next morning, just as Wu Yue finished eating, a bruised and swollen-faced Teng Kun arrived with a group of gaunt people.

To Wu Yue’s surprise, she saw many familiar faces among them.

No, more accurately, they were faces familiar to the body’s original owner.

They were members of her previous tribe, and now, they were all slaves of the Snow Tiger Tribe.

Those people clearly recognized Wu Yue as well. Seeing this spotless young woman, so different from them, their expressions were a mixture of complicated emotions.

’We all came out of the slums. Can you tell us the secret to your success?’

Even with a face swollen like a pig’s head, Teng Kun made it clear that a Beastman Warrior was still a Beastman Warrior. The intimidating aura and powerful presence were still there.

"From now on, Wu Yue is in charge. Your job is to follow her orders. Got it?"

Pure Humans already had an innate fear of Half-beastman Warriors and Beastman Warriors, not to mention that these people weren’t even considered ordinary tribe members now, just slaves used to trade for food.

Wu Yue didn’t waste any time. She kneaded two more wild vegetable balls, then led the group toward the secret path Yuan Lang had mentioned before.

It was a path known only to the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warriors. The Witch and Clan Leader had given them permission to use it when they went to dig for taro.

The mountainside up here looked completely different from what Wu Yue had seen before; the forest was obviously much denser.

After walking for a while longer, the group finally reached a relatively open area.

Looking at Teng Kun not far away, Wu Yue said, "Let’s dig the cellar first."

Teng Kun nodded solemnly. "Okay."

He then looked at Wu Yue.

Wu Yue: "..."

’What’re you lookin’ at?’

Teng Kun: "..."

’I’m lookin’ at you. So what?’

Seeing Wu Yue just staring at him, Teng Kun scratched his head sheepishly. "Yue, shouldn’t you first explain how to dig this cellar? None of us have ever dug one before."

Wu Yue: "You don’t know?"

Teng Kun finally sensed that something was amiss and nodded, completely baffled. "I... I don’t know."

Wu Yue instantly whipped her head toward the direction where the Beastmen were hauling Salt Crystal Stones and roared, "Yuan Lang, you bastard! I’m going to break three of your legs!"

Teng Kun, who was standing nearby, rubbed his nose. In the past, hearing a line like that would have definitely made their minds wander somewhere inappropriate, but now...

For a tiger, which has four legs to begin with, breaking three of them was no big deal.

He had legs to spare.

After venting her anger, she didn’t find this underling of Yuan Lang’s so pleasant to look at anymore.

"First, take them and build a few houses. It looks like we’ll be living here for a while."

With that, she turned and walked toward a large boulder to the side.

She needed some quiet. And don’t ask her who Quiet is.

"Dear Host, there is a small mission available right now. Would you consider accepting it?"

Facing its host who had just thrown a fit, the System was feeling a bit timid.

It asked cautiously.

Wu Yue asked listlessly, "Go on, let’s hear it."

The System immediately sighed in relief. "Actually, this mission is pretty much the same as your purpose for coming up the mountain. As long as you complete your goal for this trip, the mission will be completed automatically."

’Something’s fishy about this thing,’ Wu Yue thought, narrowing her eyes. "What’s the mission? How am I supposed to know if you don’t tell me?"

The System hemmed and hawed for a moment before cautiously saying, "It’s the, uh... the mission to build a cellar..."
