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

The next morning, just after daybreak, Li Mingsheng and his companions had already prepared food and placed it on a cart for them to eat on the way. Then they used a large stone to seal off everything that had been here.

The beds, tables, stools, etc. that could not be taken away were all sealed up and remained intact in their original places, waiting for their owners to open them again. Maybe that would never happen again until they rotted away, but who knows.

Fate comes and goes, separates and reunites, this has been an irreversible proposition since ancient times.

After getting everything ready, the two men moved the packed things to the grass under the platform and loaded them onto a cart. As they went back and forth, the cart went farther and farther away in the dim light of the early morning.

Li Mingsheng looked back at the place where he had lived for more than half a year, then adjusted his mood and headed towards the outskirts of Wugui Mountain. Yanli helped push the cart from behind. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

Unknown birds in the forest were singing crisply. In the spring, many small herbivorous animals appeared in the grass and were turning over the newly sprouted spring buds in the ground. The arrival of Li Mingsheng and Yanli did not disrupt their rhythm of searching for food.

The two of them deliberately chose to go out early in the morning just to avoid the chance of meeting Xingxing. There was no need to say goodbye. After they left, Xingxing should be able to understand their departure and live a good life.

But Li Mingsheng and Yanli would never have imagined that Xingxing had already woken up when they were preparing to load the car. It hid in the cave, and after Li Mingsheng and Yanli walked away, it followed the scent and carried its only animal skin bag on its body, which was filled with its treasures.

"Let's take a break first!" Li Mingsheng and Yanli had just walked through a rugged mountain road. The cart could not move, so the two of them carried it over.

It took them about ten minutes to carry the load. After they passed that section of road, they came to a flat area. The two men sat on a rock to rest and had breakfast.

Breakfast consisted of the rice roots cooked yesterday and the exotic animal meat roasted this morning. They ate the freshly prepared ones first. There was also a bag of dried meat on the cart. Dried meat was considered an emergency dry food and should not be touched easily.

"Do you feel that someone is watching us?" Yanli chewed the lotus root in his hand. He was always so sensitive. The gaze staring at them was not hostile. He had already felt it when he passed by the rugged mountain road, but because there was no malice, he did not say it.

Now his feeling was becoming more and more obvious, which meant that the other party was getting closer and closer to them.

"Indeed." Li Mingsheng stopped chewing and looked around carefully. He saw some black fur sticking out from behind a big tree about a hundred meters behind them.

"I think I know who it is!" Li Mingsheng said with a wicked smile as he walked behind the big tree. He grabbed Xingxing's big ears with one hand and pulled it out from behind the tree.

"When did you follow me, huh?" Although Li Mingsheng's tone was rather bad, he had a smile on his face and it was obvious that he was not angry.

He pulled Xingxing back to the rock and threw some lotus roots and roasted exotic beast meat to it. After Xingxing received it, he ate it immediately. He hadn't eaten for the whole morning and was hungry!

"Has it been following us a long time ago?" Li Mingsheng asked, looking into Yanli's eyes. He knew that the other party had a very good hearing ability. Since Xingxing had been following him like this, he should have known it a long time ago.

"Just before passing that mountain road, I knew something was following us, but I didn't know it was Xingxing." Yanli said with narrowed eyes.

Li Mingsheng looked at the other person's cunning expression and thought it would be strange if he believed it.

After a good rest, Li Mingsheng and his companions set out again, planning to go straight to the outskirts of Wugui Mountain in one go.

They were leaving, and Xingxing wanted to follow. Li Mingsheng stopped, put down the straps of the cart, walked up to Xingxing, and said in a serious tone: "We are leaving. It's very dangerous outside. Wugui Mountain is your home. Go back quickly!"

After saying that, he pushed the star in the direction of Wugui Mountain.

The star looked very hurt, and it stood stubbornly where it was.

Li Mingsheng saw this and softened his tone helplessly: "Go back quickly!"

Xingxing still stood there stubbornly, following Li Mingsheng's every step.

Yanli couldn't bear to see it anymore and said, "Just let it follow us!" With Yanli's plea, Li Mingsheng softened his heart and agreed reluctantly, but he made an agreement with Xingxing that he must be obedient after going out, otherwise he would drive it back.

I don’t know if the star really understood, it stood there obediently and nodded.

Li Mingsheng was surprised to see this and said to Yanli: "Is it really going to become a spirit? This is incredible."

Since they had decided to leave together, Li Mingsheng gave the task of pulling the cart to Xingxing.

After all, for Xingxing, an eight-star monster, this weight is just like drizzle.

Looking at the neatly-assembled man and beast, Li Mingsheng's depressed mood before departure had disappeared. In fact, he was also reluctant to leave Xingxing. Now that the other party followed him, Li Mingsheng could only promise secretly in his heart that he would take good care of them!

With the addition of Xingxing, the atmosphere between the two became much more relaxed. Li Mingsheng observed the terrain as he walked. On the way, the two of them and the beast accidentally entered the territory of the Nine-Star Beast. Fortunately, the Nine-Star Beast had just eaten and had no intention of chasing them, so they were able to escape.

"This shouldn't be the case! We've been walking for seven or eight hours and we haven't gotten out yet!" The tangled expression on Yanli's face was almost like a twist of dough.

He smoothed his ponytail, feeling a little annoyed.

Li Mingsheng also discovered the problem at this time. When they were surrounded, it only took them more than four hours to get out from the outskirts of Wugui Mountain, but now they have spent twice as long and still have not been able to get out.

There must be a road to Wugui Mountain, otherwise how could those strange beasts appear during the previous beast tide?

They also followed the direction of the beast tide, but could not find a way out.

Li Mingsheng remembered that there was a very wide ravine when they came in. When he jumped over the ravine holding the unconscious Yanli, a thick fog arose, and they were not chased any further.

"Stop first!" Li Mingsheng looked at the forest in front of him. Through Yanli's words, he paid attention to the surrounding environment. They seemed to be trapped.

Just like before at the bottom of the cliff, it looked like they were moving forward, but in fact they were just going in circles.

"What's wrong?" Yanli asked.

"Look at the forest ahead. Does it look familiar? These trees are twisted and tangled together. They are exactly the same as the forest we passed by before."

After Li Mingsheng’s suggestion, Yanli thought about it carefully and found that it was true.

"Are we trapped in an illusion again?" Yanli recalled the bad experience at the bottom of the cliff, but he was a little uncertain because the bottom of the cliff was dead quiet before, but now the surrounding environment was normal, with the crisp calls of birds and beasts and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

"Not sure." Li Mingsheng couldn't feel any signs of control, and he didn't feel anything wrong around him.

“No wonder the outside world avoids Wugui Mountain like the plague. It seems that the rumor that there is no way out of Wugui Mountain is not groundless!”

Yanli remembered the rumors in the outside world. Now that they encountered this situation, they confirmed that this was not just a legend.
