Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 213

The Wolf King looked completely baffled. It stared blankly at its now empty paw. “Awooo? Awooo? Awooo?”

Where was the prey it had worked so hard to snatch?

Its four claws scraped frantically across the ground, searching for the rib meat it had just caught.

What it did not realize was that its massive paw had scraped up a chunk of turf that perfectly sealed the hole.

“Awoo!” It let out a frustrated growl, then turned and rejoined the fight against the beastmen.

At the very moment Wu Yue disappeared into the hole, the expressions of the Snow Tiger and Black Wolf beastmen turned grim.

“Yue’s scent is gone.”

Yuan Qi smacked a forest wolf aside with force and growled, “Do not waste time. Get rid of these forest wolves and find Yue as fast as possible.”

No one knew better than these beastmen warriors just how dangerous the forest could be at night.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue was still in shock. The moment the ground collapsed, she dropped straight down.

Free falling might sound easy, but living through it was something else entirely.

Just as she was about to call out to the system for some kind of protection, she landed against a broad, hot chest.

Wu Yue inhaled the cold, familiar scent that wrapped around her. It was all too recognizable.

She slowly raised her head, her stiff neck cracking audibly.

Sure enough, the sharp features she knew so well.

Those thin lips curled into a faint, amused smile.

And those warm eyes, alight with laughter.

It was Yuan Lang. No doubt about it.

So then…

“Why are you here?” Wu Yue could hardly believe her eyes. She had fallen into a hole and ended up with a tribe member. At a moment like this, she wished the Beast God would just let her return to the real world for a second so she could buy a lottery ticket.

Yuan Lang’s strong arms wrapped around her. Wu Yue felt a sudden pressure at her waist and found herself clinging to the beastman like a baby koala.

“I can walk on my own, you know.”

Oh no!

The moment she looked down, Wu Yue wanted to scream like a prairie dog.

Her face froze as she looked at the beastman beside her. “So, you were trying to find a way out just now?”

She had no idea where she was within the underground space. What she could confirm was that from here, she could see two massive rats scurrying around below.

The beastman chuckled. The vibration in his chest made her feel as if her whole body trembled.

Without thinking, she tightened her arms around Yuan Lang’s neck.

And immediately found herself locking eyes with his deep, smoldering gaze. She gave a dry laugh. “Well… my hands are scared. I cannot control them.”

Yuan Lang held back a laugh and replied seriously, “Every female who touches me willingly ends up being dealt with. Since these hands of yours are out of control, should I help you take care of them?”

Wu Yue’s expression turned horrified. “What? Are you a little bit cruel or something?”

“Cruel?” Yuan Lang looked innocent.

“Am I not helping you?”

Wu Yue forced a laugh. “Thanks, but maybe not. I will teach them a lesson myself later.”

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.

But you, Tiger boy, actually want to leave me crippled?

“Boss, are you two not planning to come down? Is it cozy up there?”

Teng Qian’s voice suddenly echoed from below, startling Wu Yue.

She immediately remembered the two enormous rats she had seen earlier. Her brow tightened and she shouted downward, “You two be careful! I just saw a pair of huge rats running around down there.”

Maybe they were mutated!
