Seeing them crawl toward the three eagle eggs, a bad feeling suddenly washed over Wu Yue. She turned to the Snow Tiger Witch and said, "Witch, some of the water I splashed earlier landed on a few of the Poisonous Insects. I see they’re crawling toward the eagle eggs now."

"You should check on them with your witch power. I’m afraid they’re going to absorb the eggs’ Life Force again."

The expressions of the Snow Tiger Witch and the Flying Eagle Witch turned grim at her words. They both rose to their feet and moved to the eagle eggs’ side.

Seeing the three Poisonous Insects already on an egg, Wu Yue instantly looked up at the two witches. "They’ve climbed onto the egg nearest to you, Flying Eagle Witch."

The Snow Tiger Witch looked at the Flying Eagle Witch, who nodded. A wisp of black-green witch power appeared in his palm and enveloped the egg.

His expression changed in an instant. "The Life Force is draining away again."

The Snow Tiger Witch hurriedly channeled his witch power, pouring it into the egg.

Wu Yue watched, wide-eyed, as the Poisonous Insects, which had just been in agony from the potion, seemed to let out a satisfied burp. They even stretched their bodies as if stretching contentedly.

When he sensed that the Life Force inside the egg was no longer draining, the Snow Tiger Witch stopped pouring in his witch power, but his face grew several shades paler.

The Flying Eagle Witch, standing to the side, looked at his weakened state and clapped him apologetically on the shoulder. "Tiger, thank you."

The exhausted Snow Tiger Witch staggered a few steps before sitting down in the straw nest behind him.

The Flying Eagle Witch and the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader rushed to support him, but he waved them off with a smile. "It was just a little draining, that’s all. It’s nothing to worry about."

With that, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Wu Yue watched the Snow Tiger Witch slip so skillfully into a meditative state, full of envy.

’If I could reach a meditative state like the Witch, would I still have to worry about leveling up?’

But that profound state of meditation was always too easily broken, which was why she only ever meditated in the dead of night.

"Host, the chili water is ready."

The System chimed in at the perfect moment.

Hearing this, Wu Yue stood up. However, she picked up the first stone pot, which contained the usual mosquito-repellent herbs. In truth, they weren’t very effective against these Poisonous Insects.

But Wu Yue didn’t want to reveal too much of her own abilities.

Yuan Lang stepped forward and took the herbal water from her. "I’ll go. Can’t have those bugs attacking you again."

Wu Yue was about to nod when the System’s voice rang out again. "Host, tell that guy Yuan Lang to be careful. Those insects don’t just feed on witch power."

"It wasn’t long ago that he used that Fierce Beast Crystal Core to become a Silver rank Beastman Warrior, so the Life Power in his body is at its peak right now."

"If he goes over there, he’ll very likely be attacked by those Poisonous Insects. And if those insects manage to control Yuan Lang..."

The System nibbled on its little paws in distress. "With that guy’s abilities, if he were to go into hiding, your Snow Tiger Tribe would be the ones to suffer."

At these words, Wu Yue immediately rushed over and blocked Yuan Lang, who was about to move forward to deal with the insects.

Yuan Lang’s expression instantly softened as he looked at the small, pale hand gripping his wrist. He turned his head to Wu Yue. "Worried? Don’t be. I’ll be fine."

The atmosphere was warm and wonderful.

But a terrible teammate is one thing; a master of ruining the mood is another.

"Your body is full of immense Life Energy since you advanced using the Fierce Beast Crystal Core, so you’ll be a target for their attacks too."

"You’re a Silver rank Beastman Warrior. If those Poisonous Insects manage to control you, what are the rest of us with no fighting ability supposed to do?"
