Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 40: Rescue

Yuan Lang glanced at the few middle-aged beastmen, then turned and barked, "The rest of you, follow me! Now!"

The beastmen also knew what was at stake. Though extremely reluctant, they gritted their teeth, hoisted the injured tribe members onto their backs, and followed Yuan Lang.

They hadn’t run far when the roars of Fierce Beasts echoed from behind them, savage and cruel.

The beastmen’s faces were filled with sorrow. They clutched the bundles on their chests, fought the urge to look back, and kept running headlong. Only the glistening teardrops that occasionally fell revealed their inner turmoil.

"Halt!" Yuan Lang hissed. A commotion came from the jungle ahead—it sounded like many animals on the move.

"ROAR!" A huge, snow-white tiger leaped out of the jungle, pounced on Yuan Lang, and gave his face a thorough licking.

Before he could even react, the great white tiger jumped aside. Amidst a flash of light, a handsome, well-built, middle-aged beastman appeared before everyone.

The handsome middle-aged beastman roared with laughter and threw an arm around Yuan Lang’s shoulders. "Son! Did you miss your Father?"

The suppressed laughter of Teng Kun and Teng Qian came from behind. Yuan Lang sidestepped and escaped from the beastman’s clutches.

From the direction the handsome middle-aged beastman had just emerged, Half beastman Warriors began to file out. They were all ecstatic to see their tribe members after so long.

"Son, where’s that guy Da Shi?" The handsome middle-aged beastman looked around, but when he didn’t see his old friend, a bad feeling bloomed in his heart.

Shi Lin rushed over from the crowd. "Yuan Lang, where’s my Father?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Yuan Lang was tightening the bindings on his Stone Spear. Hearing this, he looked at the two of them and waved over the uninjured tribe members behind him. "Half beastman Warriors, stay here and look after the wounded. Beastman Warriors, follow me to retrieve Uncle Da Shi."

With that, he took the lead and sprinted back into the jungle they had just come from.

Hearing this, the handsome middle-aged beastman’s expression tightened. He called to his old companion beside him, and the two transformed into their beast forms, following Yuan Lang and the others.

Shi Lin and the other Half beastman Warriors formed a protective circle around the wounded, remaining on high alert.

Although the middle of the Polar Forest wasn’t a place Fierce Beasts frequented, it was very close to the inner regions, so they would still encounter some from time to time.

Therefore, they absolutely could not let down their guard here.

The closer Yuan Lang’s group got to the place where they had encountered the Saber-toothed Pigs, the louder the sounds of battle became. No expression could be seen on the handsome middle-aged uncle’s furry face, but his eyes were grim.

"Son, what kind of beasts did you run into?" ’Judging by the sound of this fight, they must be huge.’

’This constant "Son!" is starting to brainwash me.’

"They aren’t wild beasts. It’s a pack of Fierce Beast Saber-toothed Pigs."

The handsome middle-aged beastman and his companion sucked in a sharp breath. ’Fierce Beasts, and a pack of Saber-toothed Pigs at that!’

They hadn’t run far in the first place, so their return was swift. The surrounding trees had been ravaged by the battle, which had forcefully cleared out an entire patch of land.

Large patches of blood were splattered across the fallen trees. The middle-aged beastman and the others who had stayed behind were still fighting tenaciously.

Yuan Lang let out a furious roar and charged straight for a massive Saber-toothed Pig.

The handsome middle-aged beastman behind him bellowed, "Son, Father is here to help you!"

Da Shi, the middle-aged beastman whose face had fallen upon seeing Yuan Lang and the others return, instantly felt his heart settle when he saw his familiar old friend. ’Reinforcements from the tribe are here.’

The two adult Saber-toothed Pigs were already injured. Now, they were being ganged up on by a group of shameless members of the Snow Tiger Tribe. In the end, all they could do was go meet the Beast God with a final, mournful wail.
