Chapter 580: Chapter 413: The Arrival of the Witch Awakening Fruit and the Super Tribe
Wu Yue’s heart instantly softened. She walked over and patted the little guy’s head. "My Tayun, you’re so amazing!"
Praised and petted by his master, Tayun felt like he was walking on air.
He shot a smug look at Blue Fatty, who was lying guard at the cave entrance, all while rubbing his warm, fluffy head against Wu Yue’s hand.
The System’s small, furry face stiffened. ’That shameless creature! He has absolutely no integrity.’
But then a thought made the System glance guiltily at his host, who was now sitting cross-legged in meditation.
He scratched his chin with a small paw. ’I’ve never brought my host dry grass or anything, have I?’
’And I’m not exactly proactive whenever she needs something. So... maybe... perhaps...’
’...my position as the number one adorable pet in my host’s eyes is in jeopardy?’
At this thought, Blue Fatty’s mood soured instantly. The look he gave Tayun was incredibly dangerous.
’Hmm, maybe I should take this chance to get rid of it.’
’The Beast Taming Ring is reusable, anyway. Once I get rid of this one, surely I can find another awesome beast in this vast deep forest, right?’
’No problem at all!’
As if sensing his malice, Tayun’s big, round eyes instantly darted over.
Then, he flashed a little grin, flapping the two small wings on his back as he looked at the System.
It was as if to say, ’Don’t get any ideas, or I might not take you along next time we’re in danger.’
The System: "..."
’Dammit, this is so frustrating! So what if you have wings? Big deal! I can produce salt! Am I proud of it? Am I smug about it?’
However, in this dangerous deep forest, and for the sake of his own precious life, the System suppressed his desire to compete for favor. He silently swore to himself that he would be more proactive in helping his host from now on.
’As my host’s number one favorite, no one can shake my position.’
’Right! Paws up!’
「After a night of meditation」 With the Healing Witch Power flowing through her body, Wu Yue stretched. The soreness from the day before was completely gone.
She couldn’t help but marvel. ’This witch power is truly magical. And Healing Witch Power is practically a household essential.’
A few rays of sunlight streamed in from outside the cave, landing on... the fat, rising-and-falling belly of Blue Fatty at the entrance.
The corner of Wu Yue’s mouth twitched as she looked at the snoring System. ’With this guy sleeping so soundly he wouldn’t wake up in a thunderstorm,’ she thought, ’if any real danger had appeared, I would’ve been meeting the Beast God by now.’
Just as she was about to turn and check on Tayun, a little white furball trotted in from a bend in the cave. It seemed surprised to see Wu Yue awake and let out a soft, "Woo~"
Tayun held a branch laden with red berries in his mouth. Seeing that Wu Yue was awake, he could only wag his tail happily and trot over to nuzzle against her.
Wu Yue took the branch full of red berries and gently patted the little guy’s head. "Tayun, you’re so amazing!"
’This little guy’s fighting prowess might be unstable, but he’s just so adorable and considerate.’
Then she looked up at Blue Fatty, who had just sat up and was yawning, a bit of sleep crusting the corner of his eye. ’Heh...’
’The comparison is just brutal.’
’Seeing the System sleeping like a log, Tayun must have been the one on guard duty last night. That Blue Fatty is completely unreliable.’
If the System—who had stood guard all night and only gone to sleep after Tayun woke up—knew what his host was thinking, he probably would have exploded on the spot.
But unfortunately, Blue Fatty had no sense of this impending crisis.
"Host, are we going to continue searching today?"
Wu Yue nodded. ’Our search area is this region near the Snow Tiger Tribe,’ she thought. ’Yuan Lang and the others couldn’t have gone too far in this amount of time.’
But even this one region was vast.
Wu Yue turned to the System. "We should do some hunting while we search. If we get a Fierce Beast Crystal Core, it’ll be perfect for providing Tayun with energy."
After all, at a critical moment, Little Tayun was the one who could carry them to safety.
The System nodded. "We can, but Host... for a couple of combat scrubs like us, is hunting really an option?"
Wu Yue: "..."
’We could still be friends if you didn’t have to be so honest.’
"We can just use poison if we have to," she said. "There’s always a way."
She picked one of the red berries and offered it to Little Tayun, but the little guy just glanced at it and shook his head. He stuck out a small paw and patted his belly. "Awoo awoo!"
*Master, I already ate my fill when I went out just now.*
Wu Yue patted his head, then took a piece of Salt Crystal Ore from her System Space and tossed it to the System. "Can a witch only awaken one type of witch power?"
The System caught the ore and took a bite. "Mmph, generally speaking, yes."
