Chapter 34 System Upgrade

The mountains nearby were even steeper than Bai Yue had imagined. There were densely packed rocks of various sizes, some high and some low, which was not difficult for the orcs of the goat tribe.

But for Bai Yue, who only relies on two legs to walk, it is almost impossible to reach the sky.

I heard the sound of goat horn earrings colliding, and a hairy head popped out from under the rock, followed by Shanhua's face, which was sweaty and distorted due to excessive exertion.

"Yue, do you usually walk like this? You're really tiring me out, huff..." Shanhua used all four limbs and finally climbed to the top of the rock before she was almost exhausted. She lay there like a pancake, motionless.

Bai Yue wasn't much better than her, but she had the system to help her, which made it seem very easy.

"Yeah. We apes only use our legs to walk."

"Then you are too pitiful." Shanhua wiped the sweat from her head and sat up straight. She regretted not insisting on her brothers' suggestion to carry them up.

She moved closer to Bai Yue and marveled at the fact that she didn't even break a sweat.

"Yue, I really can't walk anymore. Can my brothers come up?"

"certainly."

"Great!" Shanhua jumped up, her wool and fur bouncing, and she shouted down the cliff: "Brother, come up quickly! Hurry up!"

Her voice echoed through the valley.

In the distance, a group of flying orcs who had just landed caught the slightest movement, and their sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the mountain and lock onto their position.

"That's... the sound of a female goat."

"This trip was worth it. I've finally found the Goat Tribe I've been looking for for so long."

"Come on, follow me to rob the females from the goat tribe and become their mistress." The flying orc who spoke had very long eyebrows that blended with his hair when the wind blew.

I can't tell the difference at all.

Below, the flying orcs who heard his words cheered as if victory was just around the corner.

"Swish--" The goat orcs were indeed a race born to live on cliffs. With just a few jumps, they solved the problem that Bai Yue and the others had just encountered when climbing up.

The leader was Shanhua's eldest brother, who had a darker complexion, large goat horns on his head, revealing his sturdy upper body, and a few strings of stones hanging around his neck.

There was not much expression on his face, his eyes were slightly raised, deep and gentle.

He looked at Bai Yue for a few seconds, then suddenly took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee in front of Bai Yue: "Respected female Yue, please allow me to lead the way for you."

Bai Yue was a little surprised by his behavior, and just as she was about to speak, Shanhua next to her spoke first.

"Hurry up and agree, Yue. Rice cakes grow in a very dangerous place. We can't get there on foot."

Hearing this, in order not to waste time, Bai Yue had no choice but to nod: "Thank you for your help."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the goat orc in front of him turned into a beast, squatting with his front half, and waited for Bai Yue to sit on his back before standing up and running quickly on the cliff.

The speed is fast and stable.

When he ran away, Bai Yue was frightened. Fortunately, the goat orc had horns on his head, as if they were specially grown for the female to sit on.

Bai Yue held on to it, and her whole body felt much more stable.

The wind blowing in her face blew her hair wildly, and her face was filled with the charm and arrogance unique to female white foxes. She was like a rose blooming alone on a cliff, beautiful, wild and arrogant.

He also became the most conspicuous person in the group.

"Look, the rice cakes are right there." Shanhua, who was running in front, stopped when they arrived in front of a group of Gobi desert trees and pointed at a large tree several dozen meters high growing on the Gobi desert.

The goat beastmen all stopped.

Bai Yue looked up at the towering trees in the Gobi Desert. She was first shocked by the environment in which they grew, and then by the densely packed red fruits on the trees.

Just a few trees can produce so many rice crackers. No wonder the goat tribe uses rice crackers as their staple food. They don’t have to worry about finding food at all.

"How are we going to get up there?" Bai Yue asked sincerely.

Shanhua, standing next to him, put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't worry about that. My brothers are very capable. Not to mention this height, we can even climb to a height of hundreds of meters."

"What about us?"

"Just wait here." Shanhua said, and sat down on the spot, but just as she sat down, she jumped up again.

He was making loud noises and cursing the hot stones and sand on the ground.

"You wait for us here and don't go anywhere." The goat beastman who carried Bai Yue up turned back into human form and instructed the two of them seriously.

"Don't worry, big brother, we are not cubs." Shanhua replied with an impatient tone.

What she hated most was that the other orcs treated her as a cub, even though she would be an adult after this winter.

Her eldest brother was still a little worried, but thinking that the rice fruit trees here were not too high, he left only one male to watch over them and jumped onto the Gobi Desert with the others.

On the majestic Gobi Desert, the goat orcs jumped around like white fleas, and soon reached their destination.

"Shanhua, how are your brothers going to pick the rice crackers? Are they going to just throw them down?"

"Yeah. The skin of the rice crackers is very sturdy, so you don't have to worry about them getting broken."

"The place where rice crackers grow is so dangerous, no wonder your mother said that only your goat tribe uses it as staple food." If it were other land-based orcs, picking them would be a difficult task.

"We are the only herbivorous beastmen who often eat it, but carnivorous beastmen also like to eat a lot of it."

"Meat-eating orcs?"

"Yeah, the flying orcs nearby often come to pick rice crackers. They can fly, so it's much more convenient for them than for us." Shanhua said, then frowned as if she was thinking of something bad. "But I hate flying orcs, especially the golden eagle orcs. They always like to steal our things..."

"call out--"

Speak of the devil and he will appear. This saying is true even in the world of orcs.

Before Shanhua could finish her words, she was interrupted by a loud cry from the sky, which also attracted several goat orcs climbing on the Gobi Desert.

Bai Yue and the goat beastmen all looked up.

"Run! It's a flying orc!" It was not until Brother Shanhua turned back into human form in the Gobi Desert and shouted that the three people on the ground remembered to hide.

At this time, the flying orcs were almost in front of them.

"Hehehe, you want to escape? You can't even dream about it!" The orc riding on the back of the flying orc laughed extremely wildly, his narrow eyes flashing with cold light.

"run."

The moment she heard the sound, Bai Yue turned and ran without hesitation. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the orcs who stayed behind pick up Shanhua and were coming back to pick her up. She shouted as she ran, "Don't worry about me. I can get rid of them."

Hearing this, the goat orc could only move forward reluctantly. There were too many flying orcs behind him. If he ran back now, all three of them might be caught.

It would be better to run first and wait for the big brother and others to come down to help them.

Thinking of this, the goat orc put a long distance between himself and the flying orc like a flash of lightning.

"Want to get rid of us? Separate us and catch us!"

"Especially that white-haired female goat. We can't let her go no matter what."

Bai Yue, who was hiding in the crevice of the underground cave under the command of the system: ...Her hair didn't seem to offend anyone.

[Host, I don't mind you waiting here. Those flying orcs won't let you go easily.]

【I understand. I'll have to trouble you again.】

[No trouble, I'll get paid.]

These words made Bai Yue want to cry, because it was her fault for always using cheats. Suddenly, she went from owing thirty kinds of plants to owing two hundred kinds of plants.

[However, you don't have to worry too much. Once you pay off your debt, I can upgrade.]
