Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Call Me by My Name When There Are Many People

Half of their Beastmen were lying in the clearing, their breathing shallow, and their wounds looked all too familiar.

Wu Yue turned to Yuan Lang beside her. "Were they injured by a Fierce Beast’s Talent Skill?"

Yuan Lang nodded. "It was Single-horned Wolves. That type of Fierce Beast always hunts in packs, making them incredibly dangerous to encounter. We only managed to escape last time because we were fast enough."

He pursed his lips. "What’s more, those beasts are experts at ambushes."

Wu Yue glanced at the Beastmen of the Flying Eagle Tribe. ’So they were ambushed?’

"Thank you, warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe."

Several of the less seriously injured Beastmen from the Flying Eagle Tribe came forward, expressing their immense gratitude to Yuan Lang and the others.

Yuan Lang chuckled. "Are you all here to hunt for Fierce Beast Crystal Cores too?"

The Beastman at the very front, a tall and slender figure, gave a wry smile. "That’s right. We only arrived here a few days ago. We never expected to have such bad luck and get attacked by Single-horned Wolves today."

Suddenly, a few of the Beastmen behind him poked his waist, and at the same time, a few low gasps were heard.

The Beastman turned his head in confusion. "What’s wrong with you all?"

He saw his tribesman pointing behind him. "There’s... there’s a female!"

As the tribesman’s words faded, the surrounding Beastmen from the Flying Eagle Tribe all turned in astonishment to look where he was pointing.

Wu Yue had stepped out from behind Yuan Lang by now. Draped in a snow-white Beast Skin, she was incredibly conspicuous among the group of Beastmen.

"A female!"

The Beastman, who was clearly the leader of the Flying Eagle Tribe, was also shocked. "You actually brought a female with you to hunt for Crystal Cores?"

And a Pure Human female at that.

The Beastmen wouldn’t have been so surprised if she were a female Beastman; after all, some female Beastmen were even more formidable in combat than the males.

Yuan Lang chuckled. "Yue knows about medicinal herbs. We brought her along as a precaution. You know as well as we do that hunting Fierce Beasts is a very dangerous affair."

"She knows about medicinal herbs?"

The captain of the Flying Eagle Tribe’s Hunting Team looked at Wu Yue, his eyes suddenly shining. "Are you the new Witch Disciple from the Snow Tiger Tribe?"

Wu Yue was slightly taken aback, then, as if remembering something, she chuckled and nodded. "You’ve heard of me?"

The Beastman laughed. "Of course I have. The Witch Disciples of the four tribes are destined to inherit the position of witch. They are figures worthy of respect from all Beastmen."

He scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "It’s just that I only learned of your existence by overhearing our Clan Leader, so I didn’t catch your name clearly. I think it was something like... Flower? Or was it Lump...?"

As he said the last part, he glanced nervously at Wu Yue. After all, it wouldn’t sound very nice if a young female was really named ’Lump’.

And at that moment, back in the Snow Tiger Tribe, the real "Lump" suddenly sneezed.

She calmly rubbed her nose and sneered. "Those little bitches must be talking trash about me behind my back again."

Wu Yue remained outwardly calm as she stood before the Beastman, but inside, she was about to die from laughter.

’What the actual hell? "Lump"?!’

’What kind of divinely inspired name is that? You know what, Beastman Warrior? For giving Ye Duo such a powerful nickname, I’ve decided to be nice to you.’

A smile surfaced on her face. "You remembered correctly. It is ’Lump’."

After speaking, she smiled a little sheepishly. "It’s just that the name isn’t very pretty, so I prefer it when people call me Yue in private. But when you see me in a crowd in the future, you should probably still use my given name."
