Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 134

When they heard this, the surrounding beastmen all gave Yuan Lang a look filled with subtle meaning. As beastmen, they all understood.

Only Wu Yue believed him completely. She obediently climbed onto the beastman’s back.

“Teng Kun, have you noticed that Boss is getting sneakier these days? We never realized it before, but this lion head actually looks pretty good after a bit of cleaning up.”

That sour little tone could not have been more jealous.

Beside him, Teng Kun also looked enviously at their general, who was joyfully running with the little female on his back. His heart was full of nothing but sourness.

There was only one adorable little female, and someone had already beaten them to her. He and his brother had no chance at all.

Life as a tiger was far too tragic.

The group of beastmen ran swiftly through the forest. This was the farthest Wu Yue had ever been from the Snow Tiger Tribe. Seeing the unfamiliar jungle around her, she realized that the great forest she had imagined was nothing like this one.

The surrounding trees were thick, and the air was humid and stifling. In just a short while, the beast hide against her skin became sticky and uncomfortable.

Beads of sweat began to appear on her face. It was too hot and suffocating.

In a place this damp and warm, there were bound to be plenty of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. She reached into the basket by her side, pulled out a small pouch, and sprinkled some white powder on herself. A faint medicinal scent spread through the air.

Beastmen had extremely sharp senses of smell. Teng Qian and Teng Kun both twitched their noses, then dashed over to Yuan Lang’s side. Their large tiger heads lifted to look at Wu Yue on his back.

“Little female, what is that? It smells pretty nice.”

Wu Yue gave a soft laugh. “It is an insect-repelling powder. The environment here is hot and wet, so there must be poisonous snakes and insects around. With this powder, we do not have to worry. Also—”

She shook the pouch in her hand. “The scent only lasts for a short while. After a moment it fades away, so it will not affect your sense of smell.”

That was very considerate of her. Several of the older beastmen nearby had been about to say something, but now they smiled in approval.

She was clearly a thoughtful little female. It seemed Yuan Lang had made a good choice.

The group’s destination was clear. They sprinted without pause, heading straight for the center of the Jidi Forest.

“Are all feral beasts found in the center of the Jidi Forest?”

Wu Yue asked in confusion.

Yuan Lang’s deep voice carried a trace of amusement, and he was clearly in a good mood. “Yes. The most powerful feral beasts live in the center of the Jidi Forest. They prey on other feral beasts. Only the weaker ones stay near the edge of beastman territory and feed on ordinary animals and beastmen.”

“Then are you hunting ordinary feral beasts this time?”

Yuan Lang nodded. “Right now, we are not strong enough. Cores from regular feral beasts are enough for us.”

Wu Yue nodded. “I have never seen a feral beast before.”

Yuan Lang chuckled. “You will see one this time. But they are all very ugly. Do not get scared.”

Wu Yue gave a small snort. “Then I am looking forward to it.”

The closer they got to the inner forest, the dimmer the light became. Eventually, Wu Yue could no longer tell whether it was day or night.

This time, she finally noticed something different about herself. The darkness did not affect her vision at all. She could see everything around her with perfect clarity.

Stupid system, is there something strange about my body that you have not told me? Last time in the storage cave, I already noticed that dim light did not seem to bother me at all.
