Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 489 - 382: Killing the Yan Yan’s Tribe Witch (Part 2)

Seeing that Yuan Lang had his back turned, a flicker of joy flashed in the Beastman’s eyes. He reached out and grabbed his tribe’s witch by the arm.

’Lady Witch, just hang in there. I’m coming to save you.’

The witch’s captured arm trembled, not with the joy of impending rescue, but because of the bizarre, twisted smile on the lips of the Beastman who currently had his head lowered, looking down at her.

The harder the pull on her arm, the deeper the smile on Yuan Lang’s lips grew.

It was only when the force on her neck tightened again due to her tribesman’s pulling that the witch finally understood the reason for his smile.

She struggled desperately, wanting to turn her head and scream at the Beastman to stop his foolish actions that were about to get her killed.

But the pressure on her neck was so great she couldn’t move an inch.

The witch knew she was far too weak right now; she had no way of resisting the Beastman’s hold.

The face of the Beastman she had longed for began to blur, and even in the dim light of dawn, the world slowly started to go dark before her eyes.

Gradually, she couldn’t even feel the pain in her neck anymore. The witch struggled to keep her eyes open, to get one last look at the handsome Beastman before her.

Her hand trembled at her side. ’What should I do? I so badly want to take this Beastman with me when I go.’

Seeing their witch’s face gradually turn pale and blue, one of her tribesmen finally noticed the other Beastman’s foolishness, darting forward to pull him away.

"Stop pulling on the Lady Witch! She can’t breathe!"

Only then did the Beastman see his witch’s unnatural complexion, but he was sure he had only tugged a few times.

Seeing the Beastman’s pulling interrupted, Yuan Lang sighed with some regret. "Looks like I’ll have to finish this myself after all."

By now, the witch was completely unconscious, hanging from the Beastman’s hand like a dead piece of prey.

Her body, which was considered quite sturdy for a female, swung limply with the movement of his arm. If not for the faint rise and fall of her chest, she would have looked like she was already dead.

"Your Lady Witch was so close to meeting the Beast God. What a pity."

He said this with a smile, his large hand once again tightening around the witch’s neck.

Watching the blueish tint on their witch’s face deepen, the Yan Yan Tribe Beastmen could no longer hold back and charged forward with low roars.

Just then, Yuan Lang swung the arm clamped around the witch’s neck, instantly swapping positions with the female’s body.

A sharp claw, letting out a piercing shriek as it tore through the air, swung toward the arm he had locked around the witch’s throat.

Yuan Lang let out a cold laugh. In the instant he spun his body, he threw the barely-breathing witch toward a sharp, jutting boulder.

If she hit that rock, even if she wasn’t impaled, the violent impact would be enough to kill the witch, who now only had a few breaths left in her.

But in the next moment, his eyes turned instantly cold. The witch, who had been thrown into the air, was caught by a giant scorpion tail and gently lowered onto the back of a blue-black Scorpion Beastman.

With the appearance of this Scorpion Beastman, more Scorpion Beastmen emerged one by one from the nearby forest, until all the members of the Scorpion Tribe who were attending the trade meet had gathered.

The Scorpion Beastman Captain in the lead looked at the cold-faced members of the Snow Tiger Tribe and felt a headache coming on.

Although they hadn’t interacted with this tribe’s Beastmen for long, they knew the Snow Tiger Tribe was not one to attack strangers without reason, to say nothing of the rules of the Beast God.

And yet now, these Snow Tiger Tribe Beastmen had not only beaten up the Yan Yan Tribe Beastmen...

He looked across at the Snow Tiger Beastman Warrior standing before the other Beastmen. This Beastman named Yuan Lang had even been about to kill a Witch Disciple.

’He’s completely insane!’

After changing back into his Beastman form, the Scorpion Beastman Captain carried the pale, faintly breathing witch in his arms back to the Yan Yan Tribe Beastman Warriors, only then turning back to face the crowd from the Snow Tiger Tribe.

"Under the rules of the Beast God, a Beastman cannot harm a witch, lest they face divine punishment. The Snow Tiger Tribe should be well aware of this."

Although he suspected the Yan Yan Tribe had most likely started this, he couldn’t just stand by and watch a witch from the Yan Yan Tribe—who, like them, were from the Red Flame Plain—be killed right under his nose by a tribe from the Polar Forest.

"The Beast God is fair and just. If he knew that this Worm Witch released Poisonous Insects to try and kill every last member of our Snow Tiger Tribe, he would surely forgive our actions."
