Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 479 - 379: Another Worm Witch

The two of them exchanged a glance, the malicious intent in their eyes couldn’t have been more obvious. Watching them from the side, the System grumbled inwardly, ’A match made in heaven.’

The next day, before the Yan Yan Tribe left, they kept only a small amount of salt for their own use. The rest was all given to Shui as compensation for harming the young cub.

But even so, the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch and her Beastman Warriors could still feel the Snow Tiger Tribe’s hostility.

They could only leave with their tails between their legs. Having coveted Yuan Lang for so long, the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch asked him one last time before departing if he was willing to leave with her.

But he coldly refused her yet again.

The Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch said nothing more, but the look she gave Yuan Lang as she departed made it clear to everyone that she would not give up so easily.

"I hope to see you again at the next tribal gathering."

The Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch wore her standard, fake smile, but her eyes were cold as she looked at Wu Yue.

Wu Yue just chuckled drily.

After the Yan Yan Tribe left, the Scorpion Tribe Beastmen, led by their own captain, came over to say their goodbyes. But for some reason, she felt the way they looked at her was odd.

When it was time to leave, the Scorpion Tribe Beastmen moved with incredible speed, vanishing into the forest in a matter of moments.

The witches from the four other tribes chattered away with the Snow Tiger Witch for a bit before leaving, contentedly carrying away items they had managed to scrounge off her.

The Snow Tiger Witch Elder was left standing there, his old face dark as he incessantly rolled his eyes in the direction they had departed.

But at this moment, there was someone in an even more miserable predicament than the plundered Snow Tiger Witch...

At noon, with a piece of Rock Ore in its mouth, the System wore a miserable expression as it watched the group of Yan Yan tribespeople below, its heart filled with resentment.

’This Host is so unreliable,’ it thought. ’Making an adorable Little Commander like me do such a miserable chore.’

’These Yan Yan tribespeople are so slow. The whole morning has passed, and they’re still just loitering not far from the Snow Tiger Tribe’s territory. And... ’

’For some reason, watching the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch cultivating under the tree, the System just felt like that woman was up to no good.’

As expected, the group didn’t budge until nightfall. They simply found a nearby cave and settled in for the night.

The System was instantly on high alert, its attention fixed on the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch. That woman was now fiddling with something in a stone bowl, continuously muttering incantations.

But soon, the System saw the true nature of what was inside the stone bowl.

As the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch opened the stone bowl, a centipede-like insect, as long as a Beastman’s arm, cautiously crawled out.

Its countless legs were covered in sharp claws, which could easily pierce the stone bowl. But what made the System’s blue fur stand on end was that after crawling out, the creature spewed out a dense swarm of tiny centipedes from its body, each no bigger than a knuckle.

They swarmed everywhere, like a tide of insects.

"Lady Witch, we’re still very close to the Snow Tiger Tribe. If we attack them now, won’t we be discovered?"

A Beastman Warrior asked, concerned.

At that moment, the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch’s gentle smile was gone, her eyes filled with a crazed, icy glint. "Discover what? With so many of these little ones, what does it matter if they chase us?

We just need them to hold them back for a little while, and we’ll be able to get far, far away.

Besides, it’s still the trade meet. They’re not allowed to harm us."

The Beastman Warrior looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but upon seeing the madness in her eyes, he just nodded and retreated to the side.

Hearing this from its perch on the tree branch, the System immediately contacted its Dog Host.

Wu Yue was in the middle of a meal when the System’s voice suddenly rang in her mind. "Host, get ready! That Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch is a Worm Witch, just like the one from the Scorpion Tribe. That woman is releasing swarms of centipede-like Poisonous Insects, and they’re headed for the tribe.

I don’t know what she’s planning, so be careful."

At the mention of "many centipedes," Wu Yue shuddered, her skin crawling with goosebumps.

She immediately dropped her chopsticks, shot to her feet, and ran out of the courtyard.

Yuan Lang and the brothers Teng Qian and Teng Kun were processing the day’s hunt when they saw Wu Yue run in, her face etched with anxiety.
