Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 146: Hostility

Wu Yue looked at the middle-aged Beastman Warriors around her, her eyes filled with sympathy. ’Fierce Beasts like the Shun Yuan are a nightmare for all males.’

But since they were all in the same boat, Wu Yue still reached out and gripped the bottle of poison.

"What do we do now?"

Her throat felt a little tight.

Looking at the Shun Yuan, with its scarlet eyes and drooling maw, staring right at them, she had a very bad feeling about this.

"The way they’re acting, it doesn’t seem like they’re looking for mates. It’s more like they want to eat us," Yuan Qi said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

Wu Yue fell silent. ’To be honest, I was thinking the same thing.’

’The Shun Yuan they saw yesterday didn’t drool this much when it saw all the males.’

But the next scene shattered everything Wu Yue and the Beastmen thought they knew.

The covetous gleam in the Shun Yuan’s scarlet eyes faded. It suddenly whipped its head around to look at Wu Yue, its gaze filled with provocation and killing intent.

Wu Yue: "..."

’What the...’

’What’s that supposed to mean? That came out of nowhere!’

The Beastmen: "..."

After a long moment, Yuan Qi finally found his voice. "Wu Yue, have you offended this Shun Yuan before?"

Wu Yue gave a dry laugh. "Yuan Qi, you give me way too much credit. This is the first time we’ve ever met."

But...

As absurd as it was, a possibility still occurred to her.

’Could it be that these Shun Yuan think I’m the mate of all these Beastmen?’

She really couldn’t think of any other explanation.

She murmured with a bitter smile, "As the saying goes, women shouldn’t make things difficult for other women. If you want something, just go for these guys next to me. Why are you so hostile toward me?"

One of the middle-aged Beastman Warriors beside her said with a resentful look, "Young female, as a member of this team, it’s your duty to draw some of the Shun Yuan’s attention away from us."

Wu Yue gave a bitter smile. "This is a lot more than ’some’!"

While they were still talking, the two Shun Yuan on the other side let out a howl, pounded their well-developed chests—whether they were pecs or something else was anyone’s guess—and charged toward them on their thick, powerful legs.

And even in the way they ran, the difference in how they treated the males versus the female was starkly obvious.

Their approach toward the middle-aged Beastman Warriors was like a gentle breeze, but the moment they turned to her, it became a raging tempest.

Wu Yue had no doubt that if she fell into their clutches, her fate would be far more wretched than the Beastmen’s.

"Host, you’ve got the System and you’ve got the poison! Go for it, don’t hold back!"

Dressed in a brand-new little suit with suspenders and leather shoes polished to a mirror shine, the System bounced around on its panel, shouting encouragement for its host.

Wu Yue’s lips twitched. "System, I think we’re done for today. The males get taken back and forced to... you know. But me? A female? They won’t take me back at all."

The System looked confused. "Why not?"

Wu Yue watched the approaching Shun Yuan with a world-weary look. "When you’re kidnapping a groom, do you also take his wife home with you? Of course not. You kill her."

System: "..."

’I haven’t watched many TV shows, but that sounds disturbingly logical.’

These two Shun Yuan seemed to be practiced criminals. One moved to the front and one to the back, completely blocking any escape routes. They looked absolutely determined to claim the Beastmen’s bodies and Wu Yue’s life.

"Dog Host, this is no time to be lamenting your fate! You need to figure out how to escape with your life!"

The System made its position clear: it hadn’t finished enjoying its new little outfits and snacks. It didn’t want to die. It pleaded for survival.
