Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 21: I’ll Exchange It for Meat

The Half beastman who had been dragged over looked utterly bewildered. Hearing that he was supposed to lick a strange female’s wound, he could only grimace as he prepared to contribute his saliva.

But Wu Yue, standing to the side, waved her hands frantically. "Really, it’s fine! My finger is already better."

’Are you kidding me? Let a strange male lick my finger? My principles won’t allow it.’

The tall, strong female walked up. "Stop dawdling. The Half beastman Warriors are very busy. He’s just going to lick it, it’s not like he’s going to eat you."

When the female grabbed her wrist, Wu Yue panicked. She hurriedly unwrapped the medicinal herb from her injured finger, revealing a wound that was no longer bleeding.

"See? My wound has really stopped bleeding, and it’s not red or swollen."

The tall, strong female was the first to look. On the thin, pale finger, the wound that should have been a mangled, bloody mess had indeed stopped bleeding, and the area around it wasn’t swollen at all.

The surrounding females gasped in astonishment. The Half beastman at the side also craned his neck to look over curiously.

"It’s really so much better! When I got hurt gathering before, even after a Half beastman Warrior licked the wound for me, it still took a long time to stop bleeding, and it was red and swollen for days."

At the mention of injuries sustained while learning to gather, all the young females’ faces scrunched up. It had been so painful.

The tall, strong female’s eyes glittered as she looked at Wu Yue. She sidled over with an ingratiating look on her face. "Yue, where did you gather that hemostatic grass?"

Wu Yue looked up at her, a bit baffled. "Huh?"

The female scratched her head sheepishly. "I want to gather some to take back with me, too. My older brother and sister get hurt every time they go out hunting. Even though the wounds heal on their own after a few days, they still bleed a lot. This herb is so good, I want to gather some to bring back for them."

As she spoke, she suddenly slapped her own forehead. "You can call me Mu Jing."

After speaking, she pulled the chubby little female over. "This is Cao Yuan. Let’s gather together from now on."

Her small face was full of anticipation.

Seeing her obvious attempt to curry favor, Wu Yue felt a little like laughing.

’What harm could a young female possibly mean? She just wants your herbs, that’s all.’

Wu Yue opened her bundle and gave each of them five stalks of hemostatic grass. "I don’t have much either. The patch of hemostatic grass I just found was very small, and I gathered it all."

"You can memorize what it looks like, and if you come across it while gathering in the future, you can take some back with you."

Wu Yue’s generosity once again earned her the goodwill of the females. The group surrounded her, chattering away and completely changing the cold atmosphere from before.

"Young female, could you give me a few stalks of that hemostatic grass?" a male voice rang out, standing out clearly amidst the chirping voices of the young females.

Everyone followed the sound of the voice and looked over. It was the same Half beastman Warrior Mu Jing had pulled over just moments ago.

The Half beastman Warrior was standing there awkwardly, scratching his head. His eyes were full of hope as he looked at Wu Yue.

Tomorrow was his day to go out hunting. ’Although the wound on this young female’s finger was small,’ he thought, ’the herb’s ability to stop bleeding is the real deal.’

He had originally planned to sneak off and gather some for himself, but the young female had said there were none left in that spot. The Half beastman Warrior could only brace himself and ask her for some.

Seeing that all the surrounding females were looking at him, the Half beastman Warrior quickly added, "I know the herbs are precious. I can trade meat for them."

The moment he finished speaking, a wave of gasps went through the crowd.

Most of the tribe’s members hadn’t tasted meat since the beginning of winter.
