Surviving in the Beast World with a System
Chapter 304: As If Anyone Isn’t Afraid
The Lion Witch sneered, "What good are you?"
With that said, he extended his hands. Emerald-green witch power surged from his palms, slowly enveloping the three eagle eggs.
Although the Lion Witch sounded utterly disdainful, he was not the least bit careless when infusing his witch power.
He infused his witch power from his body in a very gentle manner until he could clearly sense the life force within the eagle eggs. Only then did he stop.
"How is it?" Seeing him stop, the Flying Eagle Witch immediately walked over and asked.
The Lion Witch nodded. "Come and see for yourself. They should hatch in a few days."
The Snow Tiger Witch and the Flying Eagle Witch both stepped forward to probe the eggs with their witch power.
Sure enough, because the Lion Witch’s witch power contained a greater abundance of Life Energy, this short infusion was more effective than all the Snow Tiger Witch’s exhausting efforts from before.
The Snow Tiger Witch shot the Flying Eagle Witch a look that said, ’Hurry up and ask.’ The Flying Eagle Witch instantly understood and sidled up to the Lion Witch with a fawning expression. "Lion, uh..."
The Lion Witch looked at the Flying Eagle Witch. "You’re not going to ask me to go to your tribe and help save those little ones, are you?"
The Flying Eagle Witch’s eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. "Among the four of us, your witch power has the most abundant Life Energy. You can save the most young."
The Snow Tiger Witch and the Black Wolf Witch had expected the Lion Witch to take the opportunity to demand some conditions, but to their surprise, he agreed without hesitation. "No problem. Just let me know when we’re leaving."
"But you have to guarantee my safety. I’m quite afraid of dying."
Upon hearing this, the three witches shot him a scornful look in unison. The Black Wolf Witch scoffed, "As if anyone isn’t."
Wu Yue and Yuan Lang, who happened to be standing at the cave entrance and overheard this conversation: "..."
’So, that’s what a witch is like, huh?’
’To make being afraid of death sound so refreshingly unconventional...’
"Witch, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang are back."
The Snow Tiger Witch’s eyes lit up at the news. "Quick, let them in."
The two walked into the cave. Yuan Lang was carrying two enormous bamboo bags, and a closer look revealed they were filled with chili peppers.
After greeting the four witches, Wu Yue opened one of the bamboo bags and pulled out a handful of chili peppers. "Witch, we only found this many at the nearby gathering spot."
"If this isn’t enough, we’ll have to search in places farther away."
The Snow Tiger Witch nodded. "This will be enough for now."
He then grabbed a few handfuls of peppers and passed them to the Black Wolf Witch and the Lion Witch. "This is the herb that can kill the Poisonous Insects. You can look for some after you return to your tribes. Crush them and soak them in water. Once the water gives off the same smell as the herb, it’s ready to use."
The Lion Witch looked at the two enormous bamboo bags and walked over with a clear goal in mind. "Your tribe can’t possibly need this many, right? Why not give some to us, the Lion Tribe?"
The Snow Tiger Witch chuckled dryly. "Didn’t you hear what the young female said? There aren’t many left near our tribe either."
"Take those back with you. Give them to your tribe’s Beastman Warriors and send them out to search. You really think they won’t find any?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
’If there’s nothing else, hurry up and leave. Stop eyeing our tribe’s herbs.’
So many things had happened in such a short time. The issues with the Poisonous Insects and the rainy season, in particular, weighed on everyone’s hearts like a giant stone.
Therefore, none of the witches stayed for long this time. After exchanging information, they were hurriedly escorted back to their own tribes by their respective Beastman Warriors.
