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

After entering autumn, Li Mingsheng and Yanli became busy. They not only had to prepare supplies for daily life, but also for the snow season.

For more than ten days, the two men were busy going in and out of the cave hunting exotic beasts, basically hunting a few every day. After coming back from hunting, the two men divided the work and cooperated to deal with the exotic beasts.

After dealing with the exotic beast, the meat was handed over to Li Mingsheng for processing, with Yanli helping on the side. This kind of technically demanding work was something that Yanli had not yet fully mastered, so currently they were basically all led by Li Mingsheng alone.

Yanli would occasionally help cook in the morning, but because the food didn’t taste as good as Li Mingsheng’s, he stayed away from entering the kitchen.

Li Mingsheng cut up the meat of the exotic beasts. This time they were mainly hunting the bleating beasts, the fire bull beasts and the long-tusked beasts, which were common and delicious exotic beasts.

Li Mingsheng and his friends didn't even look at the strange-looking ones.

Because the quantity was large, Li Mingsheng got a big wooden barrel to hold it. He cut the exotic beast meat into strips, each weighing about five or six pounds. Then he put salt, red fruit, small green fruit, ginger and other ingredients to marinate it.

In order to marinate the exotic beast meat, Li Mingsheng specially made a bamboo mat. Due to the large quantity, all the ingredients were placed on the bamboo mat, and he put all the ingredients in at once and spread them evenly.

Yanli can join in this work. Two people working together can do it much faster than one person. Li Mingsheng will pierce a small hole in the marinated meat, string it up with bamboo strips, and then hang it on the wooden rack on the platform.

The wooden rack was made by Li Mingsheng in imitation of the clothesline from his previous life. He made four or five in total. After marinating the exotic beast meat and hanging it up, he made a fire on the ground to smoke it.

They have been extremely busy these days. They usually go hunting these two days and then go to the mountains to chop firewood the next two days. After being busy for more than a month, the two of them finally finished smoking the bacon that they had stored for the snow season.

They not only made bacon, but also Li Mingsheng specially selected the lean meat from the excess exotic beast meat, marinated it, dried it over the fire, and then placed it on a drying mat to dry.

Although the autumn sun is not as strong as the summer sun, the weather is clear and cool as it lasts for half a month. Even if the meat is not dried by the sun, it will be dried by the wind. Li Mingsheng put the dried meat into a leather bag, intending to save it for a snack during the snow season.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to endure a snowy season without something to kill time.

After the two of them had enough reserves of exotic beast meat, the rest of the time was spent on digging up enough dian roots. They couldn't say about other dawn creatures in Wugui Mountain, but dian roots were definitely very common. It only took them three days to prepare what they needed to eat now and for the snow season.

After collecting these basic supplies, Li Mingsheng and Yanli picked a lot of large-leaf vegetables. He pickled the large-leaf vegetables into sauerkraut, intending to save them for making sour soup hot pot during the snow season.

Yanli was very fond of the taste of sauerkraut. After it was pickled and just taken out of the jar, Li Mingsheng used it to cook sauerkraut fish. Yanli really liked the taste.

So among the batch of pickled vegetables made in autumn, the leafy vegetables had just turned yellow and Yanli went into the river to catch a few large grass carps and made sauerkraut fish for Li Mingsheng.

Autumn came to an end as the two were busy. Li Mingsheng looked at the dark sky and couldn't help but remember that he had been in this strange continent for almost a year.

From having no sense of belonging at first to now having ties to this continent, it seems as if everything is destined.

There are still ten days before the snow season, and Li Mingsheng and Yanli have gradually slowed down their pace of going out.

It was another cloudy day. Li Mingsheng was checking the supplies stored for the snow season. After counting them one by one, he saw that there was indeed nothing missing, so he locked the door of the storage room with confidence. It was called a door, but in fact it was just a large piece of wood. Li Mingsheng not only made one here, but also made one at the hole outside.

Although they still use large stones to block the entrance of the cave when they go out and sleep at night, this door can also block ordinary monsters. In addition, there are a lot of food in the storage room, so this door can also block one or two smaller monsters.

The snow season seems to be approaching quietly, and the gloomy sky for days seems to be foreshadowing that something terrible is about to happen.

Li Mingsheng got up early in the morning and was startled by the coolness of late autumn. He opened the cave entrance, looked at the silent earth outside, and took the stone pot to boil some water. Washing his face with hot water early in the morning would make him feel much more comfortable. When Li Mingsheng lit the fire, Yanli had already gotten up.

Li Mingsheng added some firewood to the stove, and in the light of the fire he thought about today's itinerary.

The work to be done today is simple yet complex. What is simple is that the materials they need are simple, and they just need to go to the mountains to cut down trees. What is complex is that this work also requires certain skills and proficiency.

Li Mingsheng's task today is to burn charcoal. With charcoal, when they roast fire in the cave during the snow season, there will not be smoke everywhere like last snow season, and they will feel as if they are filled with smoke.

"Are we going to burn the charcoal you mentioned today?" Yanli asked curiously while eating the meat of an exotic beast on the stove.

Tan Yanli had heard Li Mingsheng talking about this last snow season, and Li Mingsheng mentioned it again a few days ago, but because he was collecting other supplies, this matter was postponed.

Before going to bed yesterday, Li Mingsheng said that he wanted to fire two kilns before the snow season comes. Yanli didn’t know how much two kilns would cost, but he still gave a very positive response.

"Yes, let's go burn charcoal today. In this way, we will have charcoal to make a fire during the snowy season, and we won't have to endure the choking smoke anymore! Are you looking forward to it?" Li Mingsheng described the scene to Yanli, and Yanli was very much looking forward to it. He quickened his eating speed, and after he finished eating, he urged Li Mingsheng to hurry up, as if he wanted to see what charcoal looked like right away!

Seeing the other party's eager look, Li Mingsheng couldn't help but speed up.

After the two of them went out, Li Mingsheng first took Yanli to a small hill on the grass in front of their cave.

Because he had no hoe or anything like that, he could only transform into a beast and use his claws to dig the earthen kiln.

"Brother Li, your right horn seems to have grown out!" Yanli shouted excitedly.

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to it." Li Mingsheng rubbed the dragon head against Yanli as he said that.

Li Mingsheng: "Let me touch it, I want to feel it!"

Disgust: "!!!"

Looking at the other party's black dragon head, there was a small horn growing next to the long horn. It was white and had some fluff. Yanli touched it gently, fearing that his hand would seriously injure the newly grown tender horn.

Li Mingsheng trembled slightly after Yanli touched the newly grown horn.

"Does it hurt?" Yanli asked anxiously when seeing this!

Li Mingsheng: "No, it's just a little itchy!"

“…………” Yanli was speechless and pushed his dragon head away.

The beast form began to dig.

"Hey! Dig inside along this hole, and make sure you make it bigger!" After giving the instructions, Li Mingsheng began to work seriously.

Both men's claws were very sharp, and in less than an hour a simple earthen kiln appeared before them.

The earthen kiln has two openings and a vent on the top.

"Is this it?" Yanli looked at the earthen kiln and found nothing special about it.

"Okay, let's go chop wood!"

Li Mingsheng walked towards the mountain behind the cave. He chose oak, which produced less smoke. He stopped after cutting two kilns' worth of wood. He cut the oak into pieces and placed them neatly in the kiln, then lit it to make the wood burn in an oxygen-deficient environment.

When Li Mingsheng saw that the carbon was almost burned, he sealed the entrance of the kiln to reduce the entry of air, allowing it to burn on its own in the absence of oxygen. It could be dug out after about two days.
