Chapter 28: Fire Seed

Wu Yue, seeing this, hurriedly stopped her steps: "I want to take some fire seed to roast meat…"

Before she could finish speaking, a very familiar taunting voice came from behind her: "You want fire seed? As a petite female without a male protector, you cannot obtain fire seed."

Wu Yue rolled her eyes directly, damn it, how does she keep running into that idiot Aya at any time?

The Beastfolk guarding the fire seed nodded: "There is such a rule in the tribe—fire seed is too dangerous; without a male protector, a petite female cannot personally collect fire seed."

Aya leaned against the Half-Beast male behind her, looking smugly at Wu Yue: "I'm also here to collect fire seed."

As soon as her words fell, the Half-Beast male behind her was allowed to pass by the guard, and moments later he came out carefully holding a stone bowl, inside which was a small cluster of flames.

Aya hurried forward and raised both hands to shield the surroundings.

Seeing that she temporarily had no time to pick a fight with her, Wu Yue greeted the Half-Beast guard and lifted her foot to leave.

Joking aside, if she doesn't leave now, is she waiting for Aya to free up her hands to cause trouble for her?

Returning to the cave, looking at the meat on the stone slab, Wu Yue pressed her lips, it seemed she had no fate with this meat.

"May I ask, Host, whether to expand the system space?"

The mechanical voice of the system sounded at this moment; listening closely, it seemed to carry a hint of speechlessness.

Wu Yue: "…"

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

She sheepishly touched her nose and quietly asked the system: "How much system space do I have?"

"The original space is only one square meter; the host can choose to exchange points for area."

"If I put the meat in there, will it not spoil?"

The system's cold face: "Everything placed in the system space will remain in the state it was put in; please rest assured, host."

Wu Yue was overjoyed: "Then my bitter greens…"

Without letting her finish, the system mercilessly interrupted her: "Do you think the people in this tribe are all idiots, host?"

The tone was utterly contemptuous.

"Uh…" Indeed, the sudden disappearance of so many wild vegetables is indeed suspicious.

"You had better quickly take the Strong Body Health Pill, host." The system's voice carried some helplessness.

The host is too useless, the system is exhausted!

After simply chewing some grass, Wu Yue then swallowed that Hope's Pill with a mouth full of bitterness and a heart full of excitement.

As if seeing a wonderful life right before her eyes, she peacefully… uh, bleh, exhausted, closed her eyes and collapsed into the grass nest.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Polar Forest, the Snow Tiger Tribe Beastfolk who had just escaped the pursuit of ferocious beasts were resting in a mountain hollow.

"How are Yuan Lang and the others?" spoke a middle-aged Beastfolk who looked like a small hill.

His deliberately lowered voice sounded like a hum, hearing it felt heavy and also carried a hint of repression.

The surrounding Beastfolk felt somewhat disheartened; although the hard-won salt was preserved, nearly half of the Beastfolk were seriously injured.

When Yuan Lang and the others were found, they had already collapsed in a pile of ferocious beast corpses, their bodies soaked in blood, having long since lost consciousness.

Looking at the three young Beastman Warriors with faint breaths, the middle-aged Beastfolk sighed with heartache: "May the Beast God bless the Snow Tiger Tribe's Beastfolk warriors to pull through."

The awake Beastfolk tightened their grip on the bundles in their arms—these were exchanged with the clansmen's blood and lives.

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang felt that his soul, which had been adrift for a long time, seemed to have finally entered its vessel; intense pain swept through his whole body, and just as he was about to speak, he sensed numerous unfamiliar auras nearby and instantly opened his eyes.
