From a Slave to a Overlord, My Experience with the Beast World

Ever since they finished eating the six-star beast and successfully advanced, their lives have been dull and slowly getting busy again. Li Mingsheng and Yanli go out whenever they have time these days, sweeping the outskirts of Wugui Mountain and tracking down beasts above five stars. Although there are traces of five-star and above beasts living and hunting in the outskirts, these beasts are also very cunning. Because Li Mingsheng and Yanli's strength is similar to that of the beasts, the beasts feel threatened and avoid them.

As for entering Wugui Mountain, Li Mingsheng has no intention of considering it for the time being. His plan is to sweep the periphery, and then find a way to slowly expand into Wugui Mountain, surrounding it step by step. At least wait until both he and Yanli reach the level of generals and are well prepared before trying to go deeper into Wugui Mountain.

Since being promoted to a six-star orc warrior, Li Mingsheng felt that the energy he needed to advance to the next level was much greater than that required for a six-star promotion, so they were eager to hunt exotic beasts above five stars!

----

It was another morning, and the spring rain was falling slowly. A few days ago, when they went to cut bamboo, bamboo shoots had not yet grown. I guess after this spring rain, bamboo shoots should have grown.

After the rain stopped, Li Mingsheng called Yanli, and the two of them headed towards the bamboo forest on the back mountain, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs.

The sky after the rain was clear and blue. In this unpolluted primitive society, the air was fresh. Li Mingsheng breathed in the fresh air, which relieved his depressed mood for the past few days because he had not hunted any exotic beasts above five stars!

"Brother Li, there are so many bamboo shoots!" As soon as the two arrived at the bamboo forest, they saw that the ground was densely covered with spring bamboo shoots, which were big and tender. Yanli saw this and ran into the bamboo forest, calling out to Li Mingsheng to come over quickly.

"Let's dig more and eat the young bamboo shoots these days. The rest can be used to dry. It's a pity that we don't have a clay pot. If we had one, we could pickle the bamboo shoots!"

"The clay jar is very precious and only big tribes have it. With our status, it's difficult for us to get close to the big tribes and exchange with them!" Yanli heard the other party mention the clay jar and thought about their identities as slaves.

It is difficult for them to contact large tribes, and they may be caught if they are not careful. If they are caught, the fate of being sacrificed alive is what awaits them.

"Moreover, even if we find a way to contact the big tribe, the level of the exotic beast needed to exchange for the pottery jar is also high. We have to provide two complete six-star exotic beasts before they will exchange one pottery for us!" When Yanli was in the previous tribe, he had only seen the tribe's witch have pottery, and it was the only pottery in the tribe. For this pottery, several slave orcs were sacrificed when they went hunting for six-star exotic beasts. Fortunately, Yanli had not yet differentiated at that time, so he did not participate in the battle at that time!

"It doesn't matter. We won't change the pottery. When we have the conditions in the future, we will make our own pottery. And we will make it better than their big tribe!"

Yanli never thought that Li Mingsheng was just empty talk, because he knew that when Li Mingsheng said that, he was absolutely confident and capable of doing it.

"Okay!" Yanli happily took the cake!

"Okay, let's put down the pottery for now. There are so many bamboo shoots. Let's dig them all first!" Li Mingsheng looked at so many bamboo shoots and suddenly realized that he should focus on the present first and consider other things later.

After Li Mingsheng dug out a bamboo shoot, he pinched the bottom of the shoot and it went in, very tender.

They arrived at the right time, as the bamboo shoots at this time were the most tender. He took another light bite and was surprised to find that the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest were sweet with a slightly astringent taste. When they returned, they would only need to be rinsed with water. There was no need to boil them in boiling water like bitter bamboo shoots and then soak them in different water to remove the bitterness!

Yanli saw Li Mingsheng take a bite of the bamboo shoots, and he followed his movements. Suddenly, the fragrance of the bamboo shoots burst in his mouth. It was very juicy, tender, crispy, and sweet. Yanli liked the taste very much. He peeled the bamboo shoots in his hand in one breath and ate them cleanly.

Seeing this, Li Mingsheng said that it was indeed the case. The other party was a ferruginous beast. Although it was an omnivore, bamboo shoots were very delicious to them. No wonder Yanli liked them so much.

"If you like, we'll dig more and leave a basket for you as a snack!" Li Mingsheng said as he dug bamboo shoots.

Yanli narrowed his eyes and nodded vigorously with a satisfied look on his face.

He really didn't know that this thing was so delicious before, without any bitterness or strange smell.

After Yanli ate one bamboo shoot, he saw that Li Mingsheng had already dug half a basket of bamboo shoots. He felt embarrassed to eat any more, so he joined the group digging bamboo shoots.

The two of them worked together and made five or six trips back and forth that day before they finally dug up all the suitable bamboo shoots. The remaining ones that had not yet grown and those that were already old were left alone. The ones that had their heads exposed were saved for Yanli to eat as snacks in the future, and the old ones were left to grow normally.

The two of them went back together to peel the bamboo shoots. There were more than ten baskets of bamboo shoots in total, and only half of them were left after peeling them. Li Mingsheng kept two baskets, one for stir-frying with exotic beast meat, and one for Yanli.

Cut all the others, blanch them with boiling water, dry them, and place them on a drying mat to dry!

That night, Li Mingsheng cooked a stewed bamboo shoot, stir-fried bamboo shoots and buffalo meat, and made soup with the cuckoo chicken.

These dishes were very popular with the two of them, especially Yanli, who drank up all the soup in the end. Taking advantage of the freshness, the two of them ate spring bamboo shoots for two consecutive days, stir-frying, boiling, and stewing them, and also paired them with various exotic animal meats. They were really satisfied!

It happened to be good weather when they were drying the bamboo shoots. It rained in the morning when they went to dig bamboo shoots, and then it was sunny for several days in a row. After several days of drying, the bamboo shoots were finally dried. Li Mingsheng kept a handful, intending to stew them with exotic animal meat to taste them first. He put the rest in animal skin bags sewed together, a total of three large bags, and planned to eat them slowly during the snow season.

After several days of bamboo shoot feasts, Li Mingsheng planned to change his taste. Spring happened to be the mushroom season. In recent days, they had been tracking strange beasts above five stars but had never encountered any. He thought that he might as well go a little deeper into Wugui Mountain to pick some mushrooms, and perhaps he might get something.

After another spring rain, Li Mingsheng and Yanli agreed to go mushroom picking the next day. By the way, they explored a little deeper from the edge of Wugui Mountain. The supplies there should be abundant, and they might encounter many exotic beasts above five stars. They would not go too deep this time, for fear of encountering exotic beasts that are too high in level. After all, with their current strength, they can hardly compete with exotic beasts above seven stars!

So their main task tomorrow is to pick mushrooms, and their secondary task is to hunt exotic beasts above five stars.

When it comes to mushrooms, Li Mingsheng can only distinguish some common varieties, such as button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, etc. This is thanks to the two years he spent as a mercenary in his previous life and living in the jungle!
