Eight Years in the Beast World Chapter 5

"System, you can revoke all the planting techniques now."

The system's mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

[Command executed. Planting techniques revoked. Cultivation condition improvements revoked.]

As I walked further away, the mocking voices behind me gradually faded.

Without the system's improvements, the wolf tribe's food production would drastically decrease.

I knew what they were thinking. I'd always appeared weak in the wolf tribe—couldn't lift or carry anything.

The wilderness was dangerous, tribes were chaotic and intermingled.

One wrong step, and at best I'd become a breeding tool for some tribe. At worst, I'd die on the spot.

Lena was certain I'd die outside the wolf tribe, which was why she'd encouraged everyone to drive me out.

Since they all wanted me dead, I didn't need to hold back anymore.

I could find another man, have another son.

From now on, they had nothing to do with me.

The sky unseasonably began to rain.

I had no shelter, and my body was instantly soaked.

My clothes clung to my skin.

Suddenly I heard a whimpering sound in the bushes.

I tensed, instinctively looking around.

I'd already left wolf tribe territory—anything could happen.

I carefully parted the bushes and suddenly saw a small lion cub with a broken leg crawling and crying in the grass.

Having lived in this primitive world for years, I immediately judged the situation.

This lion cub had been abandoned by its tribe because of its broken leg.

Seeing me, its eyes filled with tears.

"Can you save me? I can't feel my leg anymore."

Seeing such a pitiful cub, my heart softened immediately.

I had the survival system—saving a small lion cub wasn't difficult.

I carefully picked it up.

But with the rain still falling, I could only hold it tightly in my arms.

The cub looked at me with emotion.

I finally found a cave where I applied herbal medicine and bandaged its leg.

Before I could catch my breath, I suddenly heard movement behind me.

When I saw what was behind me, my eyes widened instantly.

I was lifted by a massive snake tail.
