Chapter 12: Lazy Pig, Wake Up!

Facing her earnest advice, the mechanical system still repeated its previous words: "This system runs a small business, refuses credit."

Wu Yue: "I just..."

Damn, I'm so angry!

Sure enough, someone as cute as me can't have a pleasant chat with the Dog System.

Looks like tomorrow's gathering can only rely on herself; she'll have to crawl over, at least gather some edible stuff to exchange for points.

Clenching her fists, she wants to grow up quickly; these days when even eating a meal is hard are truly hopeless.

The sore weakness in her body worsened her mental fatigue; after speaking with the Dog System, Wu Yue soon fell asleep, and the even breathing sound came, adding a hint of vitality to this cave.

In the forest a thousand li from the Snow Tiger Tribe, several dozen tall Beastman Warriors swiftly moved through the night, each with a beast-skin parcel tightly bound to their chest.

While running, the Beastman always kept one arm guarding his chest; the arm bearing beast patterns, bloody as it was, never relaxed.

This contains matters of life and death for the tribe's people; it must not be lost.

The Beastman leading the pack is over two meters tall, bare-chested, with a white beast-skin skirt around his waist, formed from his own fur.

The Beastman exudes a chilling aura; his features are deep and distinct, his dark eyes flashing with a savage cold light.

Suddenly he stopped, his sharp gaze turning to a thicket to the front-right.

At that moment, the beast hiding in the thicket seemed to be stared down by some terrifying ferocious creature, its fur standing on end.

The Beastman's arm muscles tensed; the stone spear in his hand shot like an arrow released from a bow straight at the thicket, producing a whooshing sound as it tore through the air.

Ao——

A brief, miserable cry rang out, but before it could even be transmitted, it was swallowed by the pitch-black night.

A Beastman from the troop ran over; the sight before his eyes made his pupils contract sharply.

A beast as tall as his waist was pierced through the entire skull by a stone spear from its mouth, firmly nailed to the tree, still occasionally twitching.

"A beast is coming." A cold, low voice sounded in the darkness.

Having said that, he stepped forward, yanked out the stone spear that had pierced the beast, and looked at the nearby Beastman: "Lift it up, let's go!"

The Beastman beside him, hearing this, grabbed one of the beast's forelegs and flung it onto his back, following the tribesmen as they sprinted away into the distance; the beast, as long as a Beastman's body, seemed as light as a log, and the line of Beastmen vanished in the blink of an eye from this bloody-smelling place.

Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!

"Lazy pig! Wake up! Lazy pig! Wake up!"

A harsh ringing accompanied the Dog System's mechanical wake-up call, making Wu Yue, who had just awakened from a dream, almost die on the spot.

"Shut up!"

She rubbed her swollen, aching head, and Wu Yue let out a low growl.

Does the Dog System know how awful its voice sounds?

"Warning! Tongzi is perfect; please do not secretly slander Tongzi, otherwise the system will issue a warning of point deductions."

The mechanical voice spoke words that were extremely deserving of a beating.

Wu Yue's mouth twitched at the words; she simply lay down again on the dry grass, looking utterly hopeless in her dog's life.

"Deduct away, deduct away; I'm not going out today anyway, since I'm bound to this pitfall-of-a-system, I won't live much longer."

Even if you've swallowed my newbie big gift pack, it's fine, but constantly deducting points is simply intolerable.

Saying this, she angrily waved her fist: "I want to protest, you black-hearted system, let's perish together; my dog's life is hopeless!"
