Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 483 - 380: Yuan Lang’s Secret

’So this guy... is actually afraid of bugs?’

’What am I supposed to do? I suddenly have the urge to laugh!’

’The first Beastman Warrior in the Snow Tiger Tribe to faint from being scared by a bug... Pfft!’

She laughed, though she knew it was unkind.

"Maybe the large Poisonous Insect’s venom only induces sleep. After all, if these Poisonous Insects were truly sent by the Yan Yan Tribe’s witch, she likes Yuan Lang so much that she would never hurt him."

Everyone could only nod and accept this explanation.

After all, other than a Poisonous Insect’s venom, they couldn’t think of any other reason why such a powerful Silver rank Beastman, who had no major wounds on his body, would suddenly collapse.

To save the mighty Beastman Warrior’s face, Wu Yue, despite desperately wanting to burst out laughing, held it in and offered an explanation.

Once the crowd had dispersed and only she, Teng Qian, and Teng Kun were left in the room, the laughter Wu Yue had been suppressing for so long finally erupted.

’Our leader is still unconscious, but the woman he likes is over there, doubled over with laughter...’

Teng Qian and Teng Kun glanced at their leader with complicated expressions, then at Wu Yue, who was laughing until tears streamed from her eyes.

They shook their heads in silent agreement. ’He’s really fallen for the wrong person.’

"Yue, when will the poison that made our leader pass out wear off?"

Teng Qian asked worriedly.

Even though Yuan Lang was always roughing him up, his loyalty to his General was beyond question.

Wu Yue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Don’t worry, your leader is fine. I can only say that witch is just too fond of Yuan Lang. The Poisonous Insect’s venom is very weak, so he should wake up by morning."

Hearing this, the two beastmen finally relaxed.

"You two should go back. I can take care of Yuan Lang here. Hurry and patrol the area, make sure no stray Poisonous Insects have gotten into the tribe."

The two of them glanced at the still-unconscious Yuan Lang one more time before leaving, looking back with every few steps.

Wu Yue sat on the edge of the bed, watching the unconscious Beastman. If not for the way his expression had changed in an instant the last time he’d mentioned bugs, she would never have been able to connect this cold, imposing Beastman with a fear of insects.

Wu Yue’s room was quiet, but outside, the Half beastmen and Beastman Warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe were incredibly busy.

Led by the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader, they began to patrol every inch of the tribe’s territory, ensuring not a single Poisonous Insect could slip inside.

Meanwhile, in a cave within the Snow Tiger Tribe’s territory, the Yan Yan Tribe’s Beastman Warriors guarding their witch watched as her ecstatic face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she even spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lady Witch, are you alright?!"

The Beastman Warriors all surged forward.

But a handsome Beastman Warrior, who was closest to the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch, flashed forward with incredible speed and pulled her into his arms.

Looking at the witch’s pale face and the blood staining the corner of her mouth, his eyes grew dark and unreadable.

After a moment of stunned silence, he stood up, holding the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch. "The witch ordered before that if anything unexpected happened, we were to immediately leave the Snow Tiger Tribe’s territory and race back to the Red Flame Plain."

Everyone glanced at the female in his arms. Though they felt hesitant, the thought of their Lady Witch’s methods made them nod. They formed a protective circle around the Beastman and ran off into the distance.

The System shook the small leaf packet on its little paw, then rubbed its paws together guiltily.

’The Host said I should only sprinkle the poison on the beastman who hurt the little cub, but...’

’...it would be such a waste to use that big a packet of poison on just one beastman, so I sprinkled it on a few more. I’m sure the Host will praise me for it when she finds out.’

Imagining the Host patting its head and praising it, the System couldn’t help but snicker.

Meanwhile, the Yan Yan Tribe had no idea what would be awaiting them on the day they returned to the Red Flame Plain.

Wu Yue had said Yuan Lang would wake in the morning, but unexpectedly, not long after Teng Qian and Teng Kun left, the Beastman’s long eyelashes trembled, and he woke up.

He glanced at his surroundings, his eyes instantly becoming clear.

As he reached up to rub his forehead, he seemed to recall something. His muscles instantly tensed, and veins bulged on the large hand at his brow.

’So, even though I did my best to hide it, the members of the tribe still found out I’m afraid of bugs...’

At this thought, the Beastman felt his entire world collapsing. ’I’m a disgrace.’

"Don’t worry. Right now, I’m the only one who knows you’re afraid of bugs."
