Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 210

As he spoke, he scratched his head. “The little female said that by the time they return, you should be allowed to go in.”

The Black Wolf Chief’s eyes lit up immediately. “You mean those half-beastmen warriors are already healed?”

The beastman pursed his lips and looked troubled. “I do not really know. Some seem to be doing fine, but others still look pretty bad.”

The few half-beastmen warriors who had regained consciousness always scrunched up their faces whenever they drank medicine. It looked as if their whole beast bodies were suffering.

The Black Wolf Chief could only walk back toward his own straw hut, glancing over his shoulder with every step.

Looking at the Wu’s hut not far away, he made a decision. He would claim he was too tired today and go to rest early. He was not going to visit the Wu again.

As the proud chief of the Black Wolf Tribe, how could he keep getting beaten?

At that moment, Wu Yue was riding on the back of a beastman warrior. All around them was the dark, silent forest. From the distance came occasional howls from wild beasts.

“Uncle Yuan Qi, let us stop and rest for a bit.”

The nearby beastman warriors were breathing much more heavily.

Yuan Qi nodded his large head and looked at the warrior carrying Wu Yue. “Come to the middle. I remember there is a clearing ahead. We will rest there.”

The clearing was not very big. The beastmen sat together in a circle. The open surroundings would help them notice any danger in time.

“Uncle Yuan Qi, how much longer until we reach the place where we can gather herbs?”

Wu Yue was chewing on a piece of fruit as she spoke.

Yuan Qi thought for a moment. “If we rest here tonight and leave early tomorrow, we should get there around noon.”

Wu Yue let out a breath. “Then we are still on time. We will not have to rush like this on the way back.”

By now, the Black Wolf Tribe warriors had already returned with the cleaned wild beasts.

Wu Yue leaned against a tree trunk, eating the fruit in her hand.

After spending some time away from the tribe, she was starting to miss Qing Cao and the others.

“Awooo~ Awooo~”

Suddenly, the howls of wolves echoed one after another from the distance.

The beastmen stood up immediately and formed a circle around Wu Yue.

Lang Ya’s expression turned grim. “That should be a forest wolf pack hunting together. They are probably still some distance away. We should—”

Before he could finish, Yuan Qi darted to the edge of the clearing. His claws slashed through a bush.

A sharp and drawn-out howl followed by a loud thud broke the air. A massive forest wolf collapsed in front of the group.

“This one must have gotten separated from its pack and wandered over here. That howl was calling out to the others. We need to leave immediately.”

Lang Ya often hunted in this territory and clearly knew the beasts well.

Yuan Qi said nothing more. The beastmen shifted into their beast forms, each grabbing a piece of meat in their jaws before bolting into the forest.

But the forest wolves clearly had no plans to let such prey escape.

They had not gone far when familiar howls began ringing out all around them.

“Do not split up. Head in one direction together.”

Yuan Qi’s voice was low and firm.

The beastmen did not slow down. If anything, they sped up as they charged along the planned route.

The warrior carrying Wu Yue was kept at the center. The group moved swiftly, heading straight toward the approaching wolf pack, whose shapes were already becoming visible.

Yuan Qi’s strategy worked. The moment they charged, the beastmen released the divine power of the beast god within them. That overwhelming force smashed into the forest wolves and sent entire groups flying.

The ground was soon covered in scattered blood and torn flesh.
