Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 91: Taking Advantage

But the thought of the Lion Tribe Beastmen ahead, eyeing her covetously and trying to curry favor, made his arms, which had just loosened slightly, instantly grip her even tighter.

Feeling the squeeze on her behind, the corner of Wu Yue’s mouth twitched. "I’m starting to suspect you’re taking advantage of me."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lang sneered. "You’re right to be suspicious, because it’s impossible. I’d rather go back to the cave and pleasure myself than take advantage of you."

Wu Yue: "..."

’Hu Zi, did your Amu ever tell you how rude it is to disparage a woman’s figure like that?’

Just as the two were trading veiled insults, the Lion Tribe Beastmen up ahead came to a halt.

"Young female, this is the place. Our tribesman was bitten by the Snake Beast right here."

Wu Yue jumped off Yuan Lang’s back, shot the utterly ungentlemanly Beastman an annoyed glare, and walked past him.

The System dutifully came online and immediately began to scan the area.

The Beastmen watched as the young female searched the area with great care. When a long while passed with no results, they couldn’t help but grow anxious.

One of the Lion Tribe Beastmen was about to step forward to ask when Yuan Lang, who was standing to the side, grabbed his arm. "There’s so much grass here. Searching will take time."

As Wu Yue’s search took her further and further away, the expressions of the Beastmen grew more vigilant.

"Young female, don’t go any further! The Snake Beasts’ nest is just ahead."

This snapped Wu Yue back to her senses. She nodded. "Just a few more steps. If I still can’t find it, we’ll search in another direction."

The Beastmen nodded and continued to follow her.

"Host, under the tree to your front left. There’s an herb with black leaves and a few vine-like tendrils. That’s it."

The System’s sudden voice made Wu Yue jump.

Seeing her stiffen, Yuan Lang instantly darted forward and pulled her behind him, his gaze fixed warily on the path ahead.

He glanced back and asked in a low voice, "What did you see?"

The young female had looked as though she’d encountered something terrifying, and Yuan Lang’s mind immediately jumped to venomous snakes.

’Aren’t women most afraid of things like venomous snakes, spiders, and mice?’

Seeing him shield her without a moment’s hesitation, Wu Yue’s opinion of him improved slightly.

She whispered, "It’s not a snake. I just found the herb."

As she spoke, she peeked out from behind the Beastman, pointing a small, thin hand toward the black-leafed plant. "Under that large tree, the one with the black leaves. That’s the herb that can counteract snake venom."

Yuan Lang followed her gaze, his dark brows furrowing slightly. "Are those the only ones?"

Wu Yue nodded. "Yes. In this direction, these are the only ones. We don’t have time to search anywhere else. If we don’t head back now, I’m afraid that Beastman won’t make it."

Hearing this, Yuan Lang gave a decisive nod. "Let’s go."

Wu Yue was taken aback. "Aren’t you going to gather the herb?"

Yuan Lang replied, his expression indifferent, "The one who’s injured isn’t my tribesman."

Wu Yue: "..."

’He actually has a point. I’m speechless.’

The two of them went back and told the Lion Tribe Beastmen where to find the herb.

It wasn’t far, and the Beastman Warriors returned with the herb after just a few leaps.

Yuan Lang quite naturally took the herb from the Beastman’s hand and gave it to Wu Yue. "Here, you figure out how to use it."

Then, without another word, he decisively scooped her up and started running back the way they had come.

The Lion Tribe Beastman stared, dumbfounded, at his now-empty hands. ’What just happened?’
