Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 443 - 366: Distributing Taro (Part 2)

"Yue, I dug it out!"

It was such a large ginseng, and he couldn’t damage its rootlets. Even for a powerful Beastman Warrior, the effort left him a little breathless.

But...

’Yuanlang Warrior, using such a precious ginseng as a walking stick—aren’t you being a little too extravagant?’

He tossed the ginseng in his hand to Wu Yue. "Put it in that space of yours. It’ll be too conspicuous to carry it back like this."

Wu Yue nodded and, with a wave of her hand, stored the ginseng away.

"I’ve dug up most of what I need. The females can gather the rest and bring it back on future trips."

Hearing this, Yuan Lang nodded, scooped Wu Yue up in his long arms, and ran toward the tribe.

It was already noon by the time the two returned to the tribe. After transplanting the herbs, wild vegetables, and spices from her back basket into her small garden, Wu Yue hadn’t even had a chance to wash her hands when the shouts of Beastman Warriors came from outside the courtyard.

"Yue! Come quick! The Fireball Beasts are sick! They keep ramming the walls, and their heads are starting to bleed!"

Wu Yue and Yuan Lang exchanged a look, quickly washed their hands, and headed out the door.

It was indeed the Beastman Warrior who had brought back the Fireball Beasts last time. His face was filled with anxiety when he saw Wu Yue and Yuan Lang.

Wu Yue nodded. "Don’t worry yet. Let’s go have a look."

When the three of them arrived at the Fireball Beast pen, many tribe members had already gathered to watch. Inside the pen, the Fireball Beasts were ramming the walls while letting out pitiful MOOS.

Two Beastman Warriors were trying to control them from the side, but they couldn’t stop the small Fireball Beasts from self-harming.

"When did they start doing this?"

The Beastman frowned. "It’s been a few days, but they were only rubbing against the walls. They’ve never been like this, ramming their heads into the wall over and over."

Wu Yue moved closer to the Fireball Beast pen and observed them carefully.

A moment later, her gaze fixed on the sides of their foreheads, where there were two very faint bumps.

She recalled that the adult Fireball Beasts she had seen before, both male and female, all seemed to have a pair of very sharp, long horns...

"These little Fireball Beasts are about to grow their horns."

The anxious expressions on the Beastmen’s faces froze. They then turned to look at the foreheads of the three small Fireball Beasts, only then noticing the two small, almost negligible bumps.

’Aren’t those a little too unnoticeable?’

"It’s very uncomfortable when their horns grow in, which is why they’re ramming the walls. Go find some Beast Skins, stack them together, and hang them on the walls. That way, they won’t injure their foreheads."

Since there was nothing wrong with the little Fireball Beasts, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Time flew by. After another bountiful taro harvest in the Snow Tiger Tribe, the tribe members began a new round of planting. This time, everyone received more taro, so they started clearing their own plots of land around the tribe.

To regulate the use of land, the witch and the Clan Leader established rules about where fields could be cleared.

Such an orderly tribal settlement couldn’t be turned into a chaotic mess just because of land clearing.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue was busy starting to furnish the newly completed inn and shops.

The collected straw mats were spread on the kangs inside the rooms. In the summer, everyone practically wanted to strip naked and run around, so luxurious items like Beast Skin blankets were naturally nonexistent.

But even so, Wu Yue believed that an inn like this would definitely show those outsiders the grandeur of the Snow Tiger Tribe’s houses.

"Yue, isn’t it a bit too wasteful to let those outsider Beastmen live in houses like these?"

Beside her, Qingcao stared at the clean and tidy little room, wishing she could be the one moving in right now.

Because she didn’t have a mate yet, she was still living with her Father and Amu. Having her own little house had always been Qingcao’s dream.

But alas, the girl did nothing but eat all day. At this rate, she’d probably be middle-aged by the time she saved up enough bricks and tiles to build her own house.

Wu Yue shot her a sidelong glance. "If outsiders want to live here, they have to give me some goods in return. What would I get from letting you live here?

You’re definitely scheming to live here for free. I know you too well."

Her little scheme exposed, Qingcao laughed sheepishly. "No way, I could help you with work too."

Wu Yue just chuckled. ’As if I don’t know what kind of person you are.’

"Yue, the trading party from the Black Wolf Tribe is here."

Aya came running over, panting, her little face filled with excitement.

Becoming just as excited was Qingcao, who was standing to the side. "Really? Where are they now? Were they shocked by our tribe’s houses?"
