Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 67: Shock

Yuan Lang stood, shook the water from his fur, and started walking toward the shore.

He was gradually getting used to this body. As for that dark Chapter of his past as an uncoordinated tiger... heh...

The tiger in question narrowed his eyes dangerously. ’Anyone who brings that up dies!’

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the tribe’s entrance, and the shocked cries of the tribe members echoed throughout the entire tribe.

Teng Qian and Teng Kun, two tigers who loved a good spectacle, shot up out of the water. They shook themselves dry and trotted eagerly toward the tribe’s entrance.

At the tribe’s entrance, the Half beastman guards stared as a large, familiar party approached from the distance, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

’What in the world are the females of Grandma Hua Shu’s Collection Team carrying on their backs?’

"Grandma Hua Shu, is that a new type of food you’re carrying?"

asked a Half beastman Warrior on guard duty, his eyes sparkling.

Grandma Hua Shu shot him an irritated look. "New food? Do you think new food sources are that easy to find? These are the wild vegetables we gathered today."

With that, she waved a dismissive hand, ignoring the females from other Collection Teams who were crowding around her, and led her group to a stop in a clear area to the side.

"Everyone, put down the vegetables and take a short rest."

Members of the Snow Tiger Tribe crowded around the Collection Team, all staring curiously at the bamboo bags on their backs and chattering loudly.

"Did Grandma Hua Shu’s team find a new food source again?"

"Looks like it. A contribution this big could even earn them the right to their own cave."

"Oh, my! Hong, could you help me with this bag? It’s just so heavy."

Shui called out to Hong in an exaggeratedly loud voice, as if afraid someone might not hear her.

Hong, also looking excited, actually went around behind Shui. The eyes of every tribe member instantly locked onto them, all eager to see what was inside the bag.

Just as the bamboo bag was about to touch the ground, Hong’s hands suddenly "trembled," and the massive bag dropped.

Lush green vegetables spilled out from the bag’s opening, practically scrambling over each other as if desperate for their first breath of fresh air.

The chattering crowd fell silent, utterly gobsmacked.

Wu Yue rolled her eyes, speechless.

’Could their acting be any more over-the-top? A moment ago, they were carrying those huge bamboo bags and walking with the swagger of a tigress, even letting out a few whoops every few steps like they were high on adrenaline.’

’So why start playing the damsel in distress the moment they get back to the tribe?’

’They’d obviously dropped the bag on purpose to show off the vegetables to the other Collection Teams.’

"That’s... so many!"

"And that’s just one bag! Didn’t you see? Every female is carrying a massive bundle just like it!"

The commotion must have been immense, as it even drew the attention of the Clan Leader, who had been busy processing the day’s hunt.

"What is everyone crowding around here for? Is the hunt already processed... uh..."

The Clan Leader’s rebuke died in his throat as he took in the scene before him, stunned.

Grandma Hua Shu had already instructed the females to unload the bamboo bags from their backs and pile them up.

If the hauls from the other Collection Teams were small hills, then the pile from Grandma Hua Shu’s team was an insurmountable mountain.

Teng Qian and Teng Kun looked at the pile of bamboo bags on the ground and mused, "This little female here is pretty clever."

But next to them, the look in Yuan Lang’s eyes suddenly deepened, a hint of doubt surfacing in his deep, tiger-like eyes.
