Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 570: Chapter 410: Is This How You Use the Beast Taming Ring?

Meanwhile, after bidding farewell to everyone from the Flying Eagle Tribe, Wu Yue headed into the deep forest with her System.

She had always been protected by the tribe’s Beastman Warriors on her previous trips into the deep forest. She had no idea how difficult it was to travel through it on foot.

The undergrowth and branches in the deep forest were a tangled mess, making it nearly impossible to pass through.

"System, at this rate, I’m afraid Yuan Lang and the others will be back at the tribe before we’ve gotten very far."

Wu Yue stared at the patch of thorns ahead of her and felt her spirits sink.

The System sat on the damp earth, shifting its rear uncomfortably. "I should’ve found a stronger Fierce Beast’s body back then. In this current form, there’s not much I can do."

It clenched its paws wistfully.

Wu Yue’s lip twitched as she looked down at the System, who wasn’t even as tall as her calf. ’It’s not like I was pinning my hopes on this thing that’s only good for acting cute, anyway.’

Suddenly, an idea struck her. She turned to the System. "Let’s stick to the edge for now. You try to sense where the aura of a powerful Fierce Beast is coming from. We’ll head that way."

"A powerful Fierce Beast?"

The System’s fur stood on end as it stared at its Dog Host. "Why would a couple of weaklings like us go looking for trouble?"

Wu Yue: "..."

’I feel kinda offended.’

"When I leveled up last time, didn’t I get a Beast Taming Ring?

Traveling on foot is clearly not going to work, so our only option is to find a powerful mount."

The System hadn’t expected its host to be thinking along those lines and was stunned for a moment.

"But Host, that’s an Intermediate Beast Taming Ring! It’s strong enough to be used on the powerful Fierce Beasts deep inside the forest. Using it to capture a low rank fierce beast on the outskirts is a huge waste."

’That thing is super expensive in the System Mall. I couldn’t afford it even if I sold myself.’

’Though, it hurts to admit, it’s not like I’m worth that much to begin with.’

"You’re in a beast’s body now, so you have some ability to sense danger. We’ll go wherever it’s most dangerous."

Wu Yue glanced down at the furball by her feet. ’Looks like reality has taught us a hard lesson. This deep forest really isn’t a place for someone like me, who has neither claws nor any real fighting ability.’

The System shook its fur and said reluctantly, "Fine, then.

Let’s just pick a direction and start walking. I can’t really sense any danger from this far away."

The human and beast duo proceeded along the easier paths at the edge of the forest, stopping occasionally to gather any valuable medicinal herbs they spotted.

Wu Yue converted all the less common herbs into points via the System.

Although the quantity was small, the herbs here were all quite precious, so she still managed to make a tidy little profit.

"Host, I sense a very dangerous aura up ahead!"

Wu Yue was bent over, digging up a medicinal herb, when the System suddenly came running back, its fur on end and its small body trembling.

Wu Yue: "..."

’Looking at what a coward you are, it seems I brought you along for nothing but moral support. You have absolutely no practical use whatsoever.’

After kicking the creature aside in disgust, she picked up her basket and headed in the direction the System had indicated.

As she got closer, even Wu Yue could feel waves of oppressive energy and the vibrations in the ground.

Wu Yue couldn’t help but frown. From the looks of it, two Fierce Beasts were fighting up ahead.

"System, for two small fries like us, wouldn’t going over there now just be serving ourselves up on a platter?"

A long moment passed after she spoke, but the System’s voice never came. Puzzled, she turned to look.

"..."

’Damn it. That coward had already scrambled up a tall tree, where it was curled into a trembling ball.’

’And with a pathetic display like that, it still had the nerve to come out with me. All that talk about protecting me earlier was just...’

’Figures. The System is nothing but a filthy liar.’

She could sense that the battle ahead was incredibly fierce, so she didn’t foolishly rush in. Instead, she followed the System’s example and climbed a large tree, perching on a branch near the very top.

The saying "the higher you climb, the farther you see" was no joke.

The two beasts had torn down many trees in their fight, allowing a large patch of warm sunlight to fall onto the forest floor, which rarely saw the sun.

Thanks to the two beasts, Wu Yue finally got a clear view of the two giant beasts that were fighting.

"Host, don’t be a coward! Just go for it!"

The System was sprawled on the trunk of a tree behind her, its four paws clinging tightly to the bark and its tail tucked between its legs.

Wu Yue glanced at the two giant beasts fighting in front of her, then down at her own small frame, and gave a dry laugh...
