Surviving in the Beast World with a System Chapter 163: Risk

Wu Yue looked at the Beastman beside her, pleasantly surprised. "Teng Qian, don’t tell you ate garlic?"

Teng Qian scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "I guess so. I just saw an animal eating it, so I grabbed so to try. Who knew this stuff would be so potent?"

He finished, covering his mouth with a pained expression.

Wu Yue stared speechlessly at the tall, strapping Beastman beside her. "You won’t even pass up an animal’s food..."

To her surprise, Teng Qian proudly jutted out his chin. "Of course. I don’t even let the beasts get away, let alone their food."

Wu Yue: "..."

’You make such a good point, I’m speechless.’

She stood up with a look of disdain. "Next ti you go hunting, bring so of this plant back for ."

With that, she turned to walk out. "I’m going to go brew my herbs. I feel like spending too much ti with you will turn into an idiot."

Teng Qian trotted eagerly after her. "I still rember the place. Bringing so back for you will be no problem.

But you have to tell what ’idiot’ ans. Is it a complint?"

Wu Yue nodded, a smile in her eyes. "Mhm. It ans you’re very powerful, you drool, talk nonsense, and poop on your Beast Skins."

Teng Qian: "..."

’This female must really think I’m a fool. She’s describing an imbecile, isn’t she? The kind that can’t even take care of themselves.’

’Sure enough, hanging around our General has corrupted her.’

’Our General must be the one who told her about creatures like ’imbeciles’.’

"Teng Qian, you have too much ti on your hands? Bothering Yue while she’s making dicine!"

The familiar voice ca from behind, and Teng Qian instantly tensed up.

Grumbling about the General behind his back was one thing, but he’d been disciplined by him far too often these past two days, leaving an indelible scar on his young psyche.

So, when Wu Yue looked over, she saw the Beastman—who just monts ago had been insufferably smug—scampering away with a fawning grin.

From the back, he looked for all the world like he was being chased by a dog.

Yuan Lang sat down beside Wu Yue. "Father and the others just discussed it," he said softly. "Once the injured mbers of the tribe are a little better, we’ll head back. The Beast Crystals we got from this hunt are enough for us to advance in Rank."

Wu Yue nodded. "I’m fine with that. But about this advancent you ntioned..."

She looked at the powerfully built Beastman beside her. "Do all your future advancents require you to co to the deep forest and hunt Fierce Beasts?"

Yuan Lang looked out of the canyon and nodded. "Yes. For any advancent above Silver Rank, you must have the aid of a Fierce Beast Core. The higher the Rank you’re advancing to, the higher the level of the Fierce Beast Crystal Core you need."

"You also need witch dicine to calm the violent energy. If you just consu the Fierce Beast Core by itself, it’s very easy for your body to explode during the advancent, killing you."

Wu Yue was taken aback. She never imagined that the Beastn’s cultivation was so dangerous.

"So you won’t explode if you have the help of witch dicine?"

Yuan Lang looked at Wu Yue with his deep eyes and chuckled. "That’s not guaranteed. The path to power is never easy. The more profound a witch’s witch power, the more effective the witch dicine they can brew."

"But even after taking witch dicine, there’s still a certain amount of risk during advancent.

You have to understand, a good number of Beastn die every year during their advancent."

Wu Yue fell silent. ’In that case,’ she thought, ’cultivating witch power might be tedious, but at least it’s safe. There’s no mortal danger, at least.’

"Host, you’d be wrong to think that."

The System’s voice echoed in Wu Yue’s mind, tinged with a newfound gravity.
