From a Slave to a Overlord, My Experience with the Beast World
Chapter 56: Intercepting the Herd of Strange Beasts
"Several groups of strange beasts are coming towards us, probably several hundred of them. What should we do?" Yanli looked at the current situation. When he first saw that the strange beasts were heading towards the outskirts of Wugui Mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he saw a group of strange beasts coming towards them, the breath he had just relaxed about was lifted up again.
"Let's go back to the river first!" Li Mingsheng thought for a moment. Since this group of strange beasts were coming in their direction, they must be intercepted. The best and fastest option to intercept them is the river outside their cave. This river blocks the place where Li Mingsheng and his friends live and the volcano.
Like a dividing line, it cuts the depths of Wugui Mountain into two halves.
The two of them ran all the way, much faster than the chaotic herd of beasts. When they reached the river, it would take the rest of the herd about half an hour to get over.
This time was roughly calculated by Li Mingsheng based on the speed of the herd. They were very short on time, so Li Mingsheng tried to break the ice on the river with his claws and body, but the effect was minimal.
He had no choice but to take a radical approach and ask Yanli to bring the remaining salt in the cave.
Yanli was very fast and not only brought back salt, but also brought back Xingxing, the big black bear who had just woken up.
Li Mingsheng didn't have time to explain. He walked to the ice in the middle of the river, left about ten days' worth of remaining salt, and poured it all on the ice. Because of the effect of the salt, the ice in the middle melted quickly. Li Mingsheng saw the ice melting, and at the same time, he used his beast body to violently hit the ice surface.
Upon seeing this, Yanli rushed to help. He showed his sharp claws and violently slammed the ice with his beast form which was obviously much larger than before. Xingxing didn't know what Li Mingsheng and the others were doing, but he could clearly feel the tense atmosphere between the two orcs.
It also joined in the ice-breaking action. With the help of Xingxing, this powerful monster, the ice in the middle, which had been melted by the salt, cracked open.
After the ice in the middle of the river cracked, it became much easier for them as they pushed and hit the ice surface.
"Be careful, don't fall!" Li Mingsheng looked at the continuously breaking ice and reminded Yanli.
The river water in the snowy season is still very chilly. If you fall into the river, you might get sick. In this era, the tolerance for illness is very low.
Although the star could not understand human language, it knew that there was danger there, so as soon as the ice cracked and reached its feet, it retreated.
"Brother Li, the herd of strange beasts is coming." Yanli watched as they had only broken half of the ice. The river had not yet officially flowed, impacting the ice surface downstream. Only after it flowed, the floating ice relied on the force added by the flow speed to impact the downstream, thus serving to intercept the herd of strange beasts.
"How long will it take?" Li Mingsheng hit the ice surface, and several scales on his body fell off. Even his right horn, which had just grown out, was broken due to his fate.
"About five minutes." Yanli's powerful hearing was of great use at this time. He was able to get the information they wanted by listening to the sound of the footsteps of the strange beasts.
I have to say that this is a magic weapon that can save lives in critical moments.
Li Mingsheng looked at the river below him and made a rough judgment.
"Time is enough. Bring Xingxing ashore and stand guard near the mountain upstream. If any strange beast tries to come over, shoot it directly!"
Upstream of this river, there is a mountain connected to the mountain behind their cave. It has karst landform and the river passes through the mountain. Because of this mountain, Li Mingsheng came up with the idea of using the river to cut off the herd of strange beasts.
Blocked by the river, these strange beasts can only pass through the mountain. However, there is a four-meter-wide cliff between this mountain and the back mountain of their cave. Li Mingsheng discovered this when he went up the mountain to chop firewood before. Therefore, this can be regarded as a natural barrier.
Strange beasts can't get through easily.
"Then you better be careful." After hearing what Li Mingsheng said, Yanli took Xingxing away without hesitation. He trusted Li Mingsheng and knew that Li Mingsheng would not joke with his life, let alone joke with himself and Xingxing. He knew that the other party was not a person who would show off his strength and competitiveness.
Although he knew that it was safer upstream and more dangerous here by the river, Yanli did not forcefully ask to stay because he knew this was the best solution.
Without any further ado, after Yanli left the river, Li Mingsheng activated the energy in his beast source, gathered the energy throughout his body, jumped up and smashed heavily on the ice. Because the ice in the middle of the river had cracked and melted, the effect of Li Mingsheng's smash was very obvious. With just one hit, the ice completely cracked, and his entire beast body fell into the river.
The river water was very cold, but still bearable. It was a comfortable environment for a black dragon like him. He gathered his energy and flowed downstream along the cracked ice.
When the group of strange beasts arrived, they couldn't stop and pushed each other. The strange beasts in front were pushed into the river. Seeing this, the strange beasts behind ran away to both sides.
Seeing that the river was already flowing downstream, Li Mingsheng immediately went ashore. He transformed himself into a human form and only had time to put on an animal skin skirt. Then he picked up the bow and arrow on the shore. Seeing the strange beast that fell into the river struggling to get ashore, he shot an arrow without hesitation, and in an instant, another strange beast sank to the bottom of the river.
The smell of blood flowed downstream along the river. The remaining beasts struggling in the river originally wanted to struggle to the shore in the direction of Li Mingsheng, but when they saw their companions sink to the bottom of the river in an instant, they became scared and started grabbing around and swam back in the direction they came from.
The strange beast that couldn't swim was ultimately unable to make it to shore, leaving several more corpses at the bottom of the river.
The few strange beasts that resisted stubbornly and tried to bite Li Mingsheng were all killed by Li Mingsheng's arrows.
When the last strange beast was submerged by the river, Li Mingsheng put down the bow and arrow in his hand. He fell to the ground, his legs weak, and his hands trembling slightly from using too much strength. Fortunately, there were no giant crocodiles in the river in their cave, otherwise he would not have jumped into the water so decisively.
Li Mingsheng took a long time to recover before he stood up again. After he was dressed, Yanli also came back.
"How is it? Are you okay?" Li Mingsheng looked at Yanli, whose body was splattered with blood, and asked with concern.
Yanli: "It's okay, thanks to Xingxing."
After a brief conversation, Li Mingsheng realized that Yanli's situation was not easy either. Because the river ran through the mountain, many strange beasts used some clever tricks to first go down the river and pass through the ice on the river in the cave to get over. It was not easy for Yanli to be alone, but fortunately he had Xingxing's help.
One of the seven-star monsters rushed over and almost scratched Yanli's arm. It was Xingxing who kicked the monster away in time, otherwise Yanli would have suffered some physical pain.
After dealing with the strange beasts at the foot of the mountain, Yanli took Xingxing up the mountain to the edge of the cliff for a patrol. When he saw that the strange beasts could not come over, he went down the mountain. After dealing with the situation upstream, he was worried about Li Mingsheng's situation, so he hurried back.
"It's done here too. We just need to pay more attention to the surrounding situation in the next two days." Li Mingsheng looked at the volcano in the distance on the other side of the river. It had gradually shrunk in size and would probably stop at night.
After running around for most of the day, the two were extremely tired, so they supported each other and went back first. Xingxing was behind them, chewing something slowly in his mouth, and his paws were still taking something out of the animal skin bag that Li Mingsheng had prepared for him.
