Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 481 - 379: Another Worm Witch

The witch from the Yan Yan Tribe looked grim. "You mean to say that all the tribes in the Polar Forest are on guard against Poisonous Insects?"

The Beastman nodded. "A while back, a Beastman Warrior from the Scorpion Tribe said that the Scorpion Tribe beastmen captured by the Snow Tiger Tribe had been trying to use Poisonous Insects to capture their Witch Disciple. But not only did they fail to get the female, she somehow managed to take them back to the Snow Tiger Tribe and put them to work.

And they’ve been tormented relentlessly, I hear."

Upon hearing this, the Yan Yan Tribe’s witch suddenly recalled the appearance of the Scorpion Tribe beastmen she had seen remaining in the Snow Tiger Tribe. Each one looked shriveled, as if their flesh and blood had been sucked dry. She couldn’t help but shiver.

But thinking of her own goal, she felt somewhat unreconciled to the situation.

"Let’s wait a little longer. If they can really deal with the Poisonous Insects, we’ll leave this place immediately."

The beastmen looked at each other. Seeing their witch’s insistence, they could only sigh to themselves and continue to stand guard by her side.

Meanwhile, the little Blue Fatties, who had been brought over by the Half beastman Warriors, had drowsy, sleepy eyes. But the moment they saw the ground swarming with Poisonous Insects, their eyes lit up, shining as brightly as a miser who had just discovered a vault full of gold.

Without needing any command, they charged in, howling with glee. The Poisonous Insects, which had just quieted down a little under their leader’s pacification, instantly began to wail in agony.

The moment they leaped into the tide of Poisonous Insects, the little Blue Fatties’ fur crystallized into hard blue armor. Their little paws snatched up handfuls of Poisonous Insects and stuffed them into their mouths.

They devoured the Poisonous Insects in huge mouthfuls, letting out squeals of delight. The sight was absolutely hilarious.

Seeing how much they were enjoying themselves, Wu Yue felt like she should start raising some Poisonous Insects for them to eat.

"System, maybe we should catch some bugs in the forest for the Blue Fatties to eat in the future. I can see they really love them," Wu Yue’s voice, tinged with laughter, reached the System.

The Blue Fatty squatting on a tree branch—the System—rolled its eyes, speechless. "My dear host, while this witch from the Yan Yan Tribe’s witch power isn’t all that great, and the Poisonous Insects she’s cultivated aren’t as formidable as the Scorpion Tribe’s Worm Witch, she still expended witch power to raise these things.

Did you really think they’re just ordinary bugs because they look like centipedes?"

Wu Yue scratched her head in embarrassment. The System was right. ’That’s exactly what I was thinking.’

As the number of Poisonous Insects within the circle dwindled, the distant witch from the Yan Yan Tribe began to grow anxious.

A vicious glint flashed in her eyes. She closed them and began to silently chant something.

In the next moment, the army of Poisonous Insects went berserk, charging toward one spot in the powdered circle. Countless insects trampled over the bodies of their comrades to rush outward, actually managing to build a bridge of corpses across the circle.

The robust Beastman Warriors let out a furious roar and charged forward, claws brandished.

They had seen for themselves how formidable these Poisonous Insects were. If these things actually got into the tribe, the young cubs and females inside would be in grave danger.

"Boss, you don’t think this witch from the Yan Yan Tribe is after you, do you?"

Teng Qian snickered, teasing Yuan Lang as he swiped his claws, tearing the surrounding Poisonous Insects to pieces.

His reward was an unceremonious rap on the head from Yuan Lang.

Wailing, he scrambled away from his boss.

Watching from a short distance away, Sen silently turned his head. ’My older brother is a true master of courting death.’

’The boss has already smacked his head until it’s swollen a size larger, but nothing can stop his march toward an early grave. I never saw him this tenacious back when we were fighting wars.’

’I still remember how my brother was a notorious shirker in the army—the poster child for running away if you can’t win. He was number one on the enemy’s most-hated list; they gritted their teeth just thinking about him.’

The army of Poisonous Insects was vast. Wu Yue thought of the Scorpion Witch’s formidable insects, then looked at these "centipedes" that the Beastman Warriors were cutting down with ease.

Wu Yue couldn’t help but snark internally. ’Did the Yan Yan Tribe’s witch decide to make up for a lack of quality with sheer quantity?’

"Thank goodness for the help from those little beasts! Otherwise, who knows how long it would’ve taken to deal with so many of these Poisonous Insects."

The Beastman Warriors were splattered with green insect fluid. The foul stench made them roll their eyes in disgust, and they howled as they ran for the nearby river.

’A smell like this is simply unbearable for a beastman!’

"Yuan Lang, I never would have thought these little beasts you brought back would be so amazing! They’re practically..."

Wu Yue, who had been in the middle of speaking, suddenly went pale. Her gaze shot to the space behind Yuan Lang, and her voice trembled as she cried out, "Watch out behind you!"
