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

Looking at Yanli busying around, Li Mingsheng looked at the bamboo forest beside him, and he had a bold idea.

He handed over the task of boiling salt to Yanli, and then got busy.

Yanli looked at the first pot of salt he had cooked, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He held the salt that had just been scraped out and covered the bottom of the bowl, dipped his finger in it and put it in his mouth. It was indeed salty, just like what he ate in the cave.

And it doesn’t have the bitter taste of the salt we had in the tribe before!

"Look, this is the salt I cooked!" Yanli happily ran to Li Mingsheng holding the stone bowl and showed him the bowl.

They showed off their achievements like little kids who had gotten candy.

"Very good!" Li Mingsheng is very good at encouraging education. He responded immediately and encouraged the other party.

"Nothing either..."

"Brother Li, what are you doing weaving bamboo mats?"

Yanli looked at Li Mingsheng's hand movements curiously.

"This? You'll know when the time comes!" Li Mingsheng deliberately kept the question in suspense. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say anything, Yanli tactfully continued to watch the salt boil over the fire. Now he was very interested in this and was full of energy.

Li Mingsheng completely let Yanli cook the salt. He spent a day weaving two large bamboo mats. Then on the second day, he chose a place with relatively low terrain, transformed into a beast and dug the ground a little deeper.

Then he surrounded it with sand, leaving a hole, and laid bamboo mats on it. Afterwards, he dug a small canal to bring in sea water.

When there was enough sea water, he blocked the entrance and opened two in a row.

Halfway through, Yanli came over out of curiosity to take a look, but seeing that Liming was acting strangely, he couldn't figure out anything, so he went back to his business of boiling salt.

These two days, the two of them were busy with their own things and did not disturb each other. They only stayed together when eating and sleeping. Li Mingsheng was actually a little uncomfortable with it.

He shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts in his mind. Watching the seawater slowly drying up, the white salt formed on the bamboo mat, Li Mingsheng hung it down with bamboo strips and put it into an animal skin bag. Compared with boiling salt with firewood, it was much more efficient.

He looked at the salt mixed with a little yellow sand in the animal skin bag and was very satisfied.

Two days later, Li Mingsheng had filled two large animal skin bags with salt. Seeing that there was still some yellow sand, Li Mingsheng called Yanli and asked him to stop boiling salt with sea water.

"I have a more important thing for you to do now, so let's put the boiling of sea water on hold for now!" Li Mingsheng said, and handed two large animal skin bags to Yanli.

When Yanli opened it, he was shocked to see so much salt. He had worked hard for several days to cook it, but he only had less than a quarter of what others had.

"Where did you come from?"

"It's obtained from here. After bringing in seawater, the water is evaporated by the sun, and what's left is salt!"

"No wonder you were weaving bamboo mats a few days ago, so mysterious!" Yanli muttered somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"I've been working on this for two days, and you didn't come and take a look yourself. Who can you blame? Hmm~"

Yanli knew he was in the wrong and stopped arguing with Limingsheng. Limingsheng went along with it and told the other party to dissolve the salt in the animal skin bag, filter out the sand, and boil the salt again. This process was to remove visible impurities in the salt.

In the following days, the two of them worked in perfect harmony, one person brought water to dry the salt, while the other filtered, boiled and purified the salt.

The days passed in such a busy and fulfilling manner.

In nearly half a month, they purified ten full animal hide bags of salt, which was more than enough for the two of them to eat for two or three years, and they could even exchange it if they had the chance.

Li Mingsheng looked at the results of the past half month and felt very satisfied. The harvest of hard work always makes people happy.

"It's time to go back!" Li Mingsheng stared at the fire in front of him and told Yanli his decision. The two of them discussed it and decided to set off tomorrow morning.

Because the temperature is high in the summer, seafood cannot be cooked and brought back like before the snow season, otherwise it will go bad before it arrives. So the two of them caught a large basket of seafood in the evening and planned to have a good meal in the evening.

Li Mingsheng has also experienced the fun of going to the beach these days. He picked up sea urchins, lobsters, swimming crabs, abalone, etc. on the beach. When he has nothing to do at night, he will catch a few sea fish and grill them. He will not go to the deep sea, but only stay in the shallow sea near the shore.

After all, the things in the deep sea have not been fully deciphered for tens of millions of years in the previous life. What's more, in this Wanyuan Continent where all the strange beasts are extremely ferocious, I am afraid that the things in the sea will be even more ferocious!

When the water boiled, all the seafood was put into the pot. Although Li Mingsheng and his friend were not as interested in seafood as when they first arrived at the beach after ten days of seafood feasts, they thought that they would have to come back next time to eat it, so for this last meal, they finished off a basket of seafood.

"Tie it tightly. There is a section on the way back that is difficult to walk on. If you don't tie it tightly, the things may fall off!" Li Mingsheng loaded the coconuts onto the cart and instructed Yanli to tie the vines tightly to prevent the loaded things from falling off the cart on the way back.

Li Mingshengliang got up early in the morning. While Yanli was preparing breakfast and loading the car, he climbed up a coconut tree and picked about twenty coconuts, intending to drink them on the way if he was thirsty.

The cart was full of things. On the way back, Yanli did not sit on the cart as he did when they came. Instead, he transformed into beasts with Li Mingsheng. Li Mingsheng pulled the cart in front while he held the cart from behind, watching out to see if anything fell.

Facing the sunrise, the two of them started their return journey.

The journey was relatively smooth and there were no accidents. The two of them traveled for four consecutive days before they reached the entrance to the Wugui Mountains.

Because they were fully loaded with stuff on the way back, they had to rest along the way, which took them much longer than the trip there.

"Drink some water and take a rest. We'll be there in half a day." Li Mingsheng sat on a stone beside the entrance and handed a bamboo tube filled with fresh water to Yanli.

After the other party took it, he drank it down, and drank most of it in a row before he recovered. It was not that he was tired, but the hot weather was too tiring, and the sun was hot and poisonous.

The place they rested was specially chosen under the shade of a tree, and it was quite cool with a breeze.

"Brother Li, did you hear any sound?" As a slave who had once wandered, Yanli's hearing had improved as he had been promoted. He was quite sensitive to sounds within a ten-mile radius.

"I heard it." Li Mingsheng listened carefully after Yanli spoke, and there was indeed a voice coming towards them.

"Getting closer!"

"Be on guard!" Li Mingsheng took a defensive posture with a serious face, holding the bone knife in his hand, ready to attack at any time. Yanli was on guard in the same posture as him.

Sure enough, within two minutes, they understood what they had just heard. It turned out to be the sound of an orc shouting for help.

I saw a sub-orc man running in front, and a five-star hyena beast chasing him from behind. He covered his arm, dodged the fangs of the monster with difficulty, and ran towards Li Mingsheng.

The escaping sub-orc saw two strong orcs in front of him and immediately felt that he was saved. He rushed towards Li Mingsheng while shouting for help.
