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

For a land bear like Xingxing, it is understandable that he is afraid of the sea. After Yanli understood his emotions, he gently patted his head to comfort him.

Li Mingsheng was even more down-to-earth. He walked directly to the beach and climbed up a coconut tree. Because it was the beginning of spring, there were only a few edible coconuts on the tree, so he generously handed them to Xingxing.

Xingxing’s fear of the sea was alleviated a lot because of the delicious drink.

At night, we had a seafood feast. Xingxing's claws were covered with crab roe. With such a delicious meal, Xingxing could go to the beach to catch seafood by himself.

Like an uncontrollable child, it fought with a giant blue crab that was walking sideways while Li Mingsheng and Yanli were digging the ground to make salt.

Li Mingsheng and Yanli didn't have to worry about food for the two, as the big black bear Xingxing could take care of it on his own.

Seeing that it was having fun, Li Mingsheng and the others didn't pay much attention to it, but instead focused all their attention on making salt.

Because it was spring, the sunshine was not as abundant as in summer, water evaporated more slowly, and the salt-making process was much slower. It took them nearly ten days to produce the same amount as they did in a few days last year. One of them directed water to dry the salt, while the other filtered and purified it. The twenty days passed quickly.

Xingxing also went from being very enthusiastic to being uninterested, and would come to Li Mingsheng's place to make trouble from time to time. After Li Mingsheng gave him a few "big crabs" to eat, he learned his lesson.

He ran to Yanli to help him add fire, occasionally went to the mountains behind to bring back firewood, and also picked a lot of wild vegetables.

This gave the two of them a delicious taste, as if it was cleansing their taste buds that had been filled with the flavor of seafood for days.

After being used to eating a lot of meat and fish, occasionally having something refreshing like this can be considered a good way to recuperate.

At night, after more than twenty days at the seaside, Li Mingsheng and Yanli had just checked their harvest. They put part of the salt into animal skin bags and the other part into bamboo tubes. They put the salt on a cart, which was next to where they slept and covered with a thick thatched shed.

Because they were afraid of getting wet in the rain, they specially took some waterproof animal skins to cover the roof of the shed, which was better and more rigorous than their sleeping place.

Fortunately, it didn't rain at the seaside these days. Before going to bed tonight, Li Mingsheng looked at the sky and saw some dark clouds, so they checked the straw shed where the cart was placed. After seeing that there was no accident, they lay down again.

Before going to bed, Li Mingsheng held a brief mobilization meeting. The meeting was presided over by Li Mingsheng, and the participants included Yanli and Xingxing. He gave an important speech about leaving the beach three days later to find the slave tribe.

But it was just such an unexpected thing. They had originally planned to set off three days later, but were forced to set off at dawn the next day.

The reason was that a giant squid covered with eyes suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

Li Mingsheng was half asleep and half awake when he was awakened by aversion.

"There's some noise at the seaside!" Yanli said in a serious tone. Li Mingsheng got up immediately and patted the Xingxing who was sleeping beside him.

During these days at the seaside, they took turns to keep watch. For more than 20 days, nothing had happened. But they just confirmed the departure time tonight when they encountered it.

"Be careful, that thing is coming up." Li Mingsheng and Yanli, the two men and one beast, hid behind a big rock on the beach. Fortunately, tonight was a full moon night and the moonlight was very bright. Li Mingsheng and the others could barely see the situation at the beach.

The sea at night was more terrifying than during the day. The waves crashed violently against the rocks, and the two men and one beast stared at each other nervously.

In just one minute, the thing that had just made the noise revealed its full appearance. It was a very huge squid, about the same size as Xingxing's black bear.

It had many dozen thick and long tentacles, and the tentacles and body were covered with dense things. Because they were far away, they couldn't see clearly and thought they were just seaweed or barnacles hanging on it.

Li Mingsheng judged the strange beast opposite and found it to be very powerful, probably at the late stage of Qi training. According to the classification of Wanyuan Continent, it would be at the level of Beast King. However, it was only a Beast King given to it by the orcs. In reality, it was still a long way from the legendary Beast King that could destroy the world.

The strange beast did not go away as Li Mingsheng wished, but instead crawled to the shed where they slept and swung its long tentacles at random, tearing the shed into pieces and completely destroying it.

Li Mingsheng and Yanli saw that the squid was trying to destroy the shed with the carts. How could they bear to see their hard work go to waste?

"Quick, I'll control it, you and Xingxing push the cart away." Li Mingsheng saw that the other party was about to send out tentacles, and he immediately used his spiritual power, turning the spiritual power into an invisible spiritual whip to tie up the giant squid. This was the result of his and Yanli's recent studies on spiritual energy. In addition to making salt, they would also try to draw spiritual energy out of their bodies and use it into visible objects or shapes. Before, they only used it for cooking and chopping wood, and this was the first time they actually used it in battle.

After Yanlijian gained control briefly, he followed Xingxing and pushed the cart out from under the giant squid's long tentacles.

Li Mingsheng: "Hurry, I can't hold on any longer!"

When Yanli saw Xingxing push the cart out of the range of the giant squid, he immediately used his spiritual power to slide himself out of the squid's attack range. As soon as Yanli dodged, Li Mingsheng's spiritual whip disappeared.

The giant squid seemed to be enraged, and stretched out its long tentacles and swung them towards Li Mingsheng and Yanli with such force that it seemed able to smash boulders.

"Be careful!" Li Mingsheng and Yanli avoided the attack of the giant squid.

Only after a close combat did they see that the giant squid’s tentacles were covered with eyes, so densely packed that it was disgusting.

"Ali, attack its eyes." Li Mingsheng looked at the many pairs of eyes opposite him, and tentatively used the bone knife to stab the eyes on the opponent's tentacles while dodging. Seeing the giant squid feel pain, he knew that his judgment was correct.

The two of them wrapped their bodies with spiritual energy, and like slippery loaches, they stabbed the giant squid one after another, covering each other.

After putting the cart away, Xingxing wanted to come over to help, but Yanli stopped her, "Don't come over, take care of our baby!"

Li Mingsheng also said: "You still don't trust your master? I'll chop off the tentacle of this giant squid and give it to you as a snack."

Yanli felt a little nauseous as he looked at his eyes that had been pierced all over. For the first time, he felt that Brother Li’s bad taste was really a little disgusting.

After the squid's eyes were almost pierced, it became scared and before it died it sprayed out thick black juice that was fishy and smelly. If Li Mingsheng hadn't pulled Yanli to help, it would have really been sprayed.

After spraying the ink, the squid wanted to run away. It left a pool of ink on the ground, which corroded Li Mingsheng and his team's already dilapidated shed and even corroded a deep pit in the sand.

Li Mingsheng saw that it was at the end of its rope, so how could he let it go?

"Ali, stop it." Li Mingsheng saw that the squid was about to enter the water, and immediately used his spiritual power to transform it into a whip to pull it back.

Yanli transformed himself into a beast and broke the ten tentacles of the giant squid one by one. Li Mingsheng did not relax at all. He transformed the spiritual power bound to the squid into the size of a needle, inserted it into the squid's body, and crushed it.
