Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 121

“Chief, the Snow Tiger Tribe actually has their own Wu apprentice now. About that thing the three of our tribes discussed before…”

The beastmen, who had looked so pleased during the day, now sat inside the cave assigned to them by the Snow Tiger Tribe. Their expressions were all quite complicated.

The Black Wolf chief’s gaze was deep. “This is the Snow Tiger Tribe. Do not speak of things that should not be said.”

His eyes carried a clear warning. The beastmen all fell silent at once.

Life in the Jidi Forest was no longer as simple as it used to be.

It was not only the beastmen who needed territory to survive. Ferocious beasts also fought with them for food.

While beastmen were reproducing, so were the ferocious beasts. Naturally, the struggle for land began.

There were conflicts between tribes, and also battles between beastmen and beasts.

“We do not need to rush right now. Our Black Wolf Tribe is not very close to the territory of the beasts. The ones who should really be worried now are the Wild Lion Tribe and the Eagle Tribe.”

None of them would have guessed that the seemingly simple-minded Black Wolf chief was actually such a cunning wolf.

Just as he predicted, the beastmen of the Wild Lion Tribe and Eagle Tribe, resting in their own caves, wore expressions as dark as the fur of the Black Wolf Tribe.

The Wild Lion chief looked at the young warriors of his tribe. “I heard that Ye Duo does not have a mate. Your mission this time is to seduce her. Distract her from her cultivation. She seems close to adulthood. If you can prevent her from awakening Wu power during the coming adulthood ritual, that will be enough. Do you understand?”

The beastmen looked at their chief with eyes full of admiration. Only their own chief could think up such a shameless tactic.

The Wild Lion chief let out a smug chuckle. Looking at the young cubs of his tribe, his lion face gleamed with pride.

“You understand my orders. Then you better stay sharp. Your target is Ye Duo. Use any means necessary to win her over.”

The beastmen responded with solemn lion faces. “Understood.”

What none of them noticed was that a small black chicken had quietly slipped away from the mouth of their cave.

Inside the cave of the Eagle Tribe, the Eagle chief looked at the little black chicken that had slipped in.

“Well? What were those scheming lions talking about?”

The little black chicken shook itself and instantly transformed into a tall beastman.

“They were plotting to seduce that Ye Duo female from the Snow Tiger Tribe and interfere with her cultivation.”

The Eagle chief gave a cold snort. “All that shiny golden fur, but not a single brain cell. The Snow Tiger Tribe only has that one Wu apprentice. Do they really think the tribe will just let her be?”

The beastmen inside the cave burst into laughter. “The Wild Lion Tribe is full of fools.”

The Sky Eagle chief sneered twice. “Then we will save our strength and see what kind of mess those golden lions can stir up.”

There were only two days left until the Snow Tiger Tribe’s ritual. Wu Yue stared at the experience bar on her panel, her canine face full of gloom.

“Damn system, you said I could level up before the ritual. What happened to that?”

Her voice could not have sounded more resentful.

The System laughed dryly. “Well… well that is not my fault. Host, you are just too useless. I cannot help that.”

The more it thought about it, the more justified it felt. Its voice grew stronger, full of confidence. It could climb five floors in a single breath now.

“That is right. Did I say anything wrong? So, much time has passed. If you had been more diligent, earning just one experience point a day, you would have leveled up long ago. Maybe you could even review your skills a little and become truly awesome.”
