Upon hearing this, the Snow Tiger Witch immediately summoned the Half beastman Warriors from outside the cave. "Go and sprinkle that potion on each of the eagle eggs."

The Half beastman Warrior took the stone pot from Yuan Lang’s hands, walked over, and sprinkled the prepared herbal water inside onto them.

Wu Yue didn’t even need to look to know that the insects definitely wouldn’t have any reaction.

At that moment, Yuan Lang felt quite aggrieved...

’Little female, do you have to be so pragmatic? I’m worried about your safety, can’t you wish me a little good luck?’

He shuffled over to Wu Yue’s side and looked at her, a little glum. "Don’t the Witch and the Flying Eagle Witch have life force in their bodies?"

Wu Yue tilted her head and whispered in Yuan Lang’s ear, "If these insects could drain just anyone, they probably would have conquered the continent by now."

Then, she explained according to the information the System had just provided, "These insects can only drain those who are young and have recently advanced using a Fierce Beast Crystal Core. Their favorite food is the life force of the young."

With that, she glanced at the three eagle eggs in the cave and added, "The younger, the better."

Yuan Lang’s thoughts, however, went elsewhere. "In that case, wouldn’t pregnant females be in just as much danger?"

The moment Yuan Lang finished speaking, Wu Yue’s body trembled as she instantly realized it too.

The two couldn’t help but look at each other, their bad feeling growing stronger.

"Why do I feel like this whole thing reeks of conspiracy?"

Wu Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly as she turned and walked toward the cave entrance.

Seeing this, Yuan Lang immediately followed her.

When he came over, Wu Yue sighed in exasperation and pulled him to her side.

She was surrounded by the System’s protective shield, which could prevent attacks from these Poisonous Insects, but Yuan Lang wasn’t.

’It wouldn’t do to avoid being drained by the Poisonous Insects, only to get all worked up over this Beastman Warrior instead.’

The few people inside the cave were all focused on the eagle eggs that had been sprinkled with herbal water, so they didn’t notice the two of them leaving.

Just as Wu Yue was about to step out of the cave, she froze. She had already spotted traces of that Poisonous Insect...

Looking at the oblivious Teng Qian standing in the distance, still shooting the breeze with the tribesmen around him, Wu Yue turned to Yuan Lang beside her. "Your Deputy General has two of them on his shoulder. And from the looks of it, they couldn’t be enjoying his life force more."

Yuan Lang frowned. "Teng Qian doesn’t seem to have anything wrong with him."

Wu Yue nodded. "Not right now, but that might not be the case in a little while.

He only has two Poisonous Insects on him now. Later, when the ones in the cave smell the rich life force on him, they definitely won’t pass up such a good meal."

Although he usually treated his subordinate like dirt, when it came to a life-or-death matter, Yuan Lang still took it seriously.

Just as he was about to ask the little female if she had a solution, he saw her take a glass bottle from the basket on her back and walk toward Teng Qian. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

A smile appeared in his eyes as he followed the little female toward that big goofball, Teng Qian.

Seeing them approach, Teng Qian eagerly trotted over. But just as he was a few steps away from Wu Yue, both she and Yuan Lang felt a sudden impact.

Yuan Lang took a step forward to shield Wu Yue, looking at Teng Qian with a serious expression. "Back off."

As a trusted subordinate who had followed Yuan Lang for many years, Teng Qian naturally noticed the instantaneous change in the pair. The smile vanished from his face, and he immediately retreated.

Wu Yue looked at the two insects that had jumped off Teng Qian not far away. With a steady gaze, she opened the bottle cap and quickly sprinkled the chili water inside onto them.
