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

Chapter 78: Crossing the river on a bamboo raft, testing each other

By the time Li Mingsheng and his crew finished cutting the bamboo and making the bamboo raft, it was already noon. When the Dahe tribe saw Li Mingsheng and his crew reappear this morning, they reported it to Xiong Yan.

Xiong Yan had an astonishing expression on his face when Li Mingsheng and his companions suddenly appeared. This made him even more dissatisfied with Yu Qing and Ying Kong, and made him wonder whether the two orcs across the river had discovered their traces.

In fact, Xiong Yan was also overly suspicious. Li Mingsheng and his friends only discovered the movement on the opposite river when they went to cut bamboo in the morning!

"Okay, Ali, let's put this bamboo raft into the river and give it a try."

"Okay!" The two of them put the bamboo raft into the river and drove Xingxing the bear up to try it out.

The bamboo raft had a large displacement capacity, and what they had done was very successful. Li Mingsheng and Yanli carefully put the cart on it. They deliberately took out two large animal hide bags of salt, just in case the raft could not bear the weight, but the salt could still be saved.

Fortunately, the bamboo raft was strong enough to not sink and float safely on the water.

"Go up." Li Mingsheng said to Wenqing and his son who were still on the shore.

"It's amazing that a tiny bamboo can have such great power." Wen Qing marveled at the bamboo raft in the river. He stepped on it carefully, fearing that his weight would press the raft into the water.

"Don't be so cautious." Li Mingsheng said with a smile.

When Wen Qing pulled Jin Hu up, he said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this the first time you see it? It's amazing."

Not only Wen Qing found it magical, but Yu Qing and Ying Kong from the Dahe tribe who were in the trees across the river also found it magical. Xiong Yan who was in the woods in the distance was also very surprised when he saw this.

"Do you know what's under their feet?" He looked at Bao Bai with a serious face. Bao Bai shook his head and replied: "I've never seen it before."

Seeing this scene, Xiong Yan's previous desire to rob by force faded a lot. On the one hand, there was the fighting power of Li Mingsheng and others, and on the other hand, there were these strange-shaped items and weapons.

Although he really wanted to possess her, he still had to think long and hard before getting her into the tribe.

"Come up!" Looking at the remaining Yanli, Li Mingsheng held a bamboo pole in one hand and stretched out the other.

Yanli put his hand on Li Mingsheng's hand, and then with a force Yanli stood on the bamboo raft.

"Hold on tight, let's go!" Li Mingsheng put the bamboo pole into the water and started paddling.

Because their bamboo raft is not light, it is still quite strenuous.

The bamboo raft started moving and slowly drifted towards the other side of the river. Wen Qing held Jin Hu in his arms as soon as the boat started moving. He steadied himself and looked at the river surface a little nervously.

Yanli was actually also very nervous. He carefully moved closer to Li Mingsheng. He thought his movements were very cautious, but Li Mingsheng still saw it.

Li Mingsheng: "Don't be nervous, it's okay."

Yanli: “…Who, who is nervous?” He retorted arrogantly.

Li Mingsheng smiled and said, "You are still stubborn!"

Disgust: "???"

Yanli didn't understand what this sentence meant, but he didn't intend to ask further. After all, it was not a nice word.

"Mom, there are so many fish and animals!" Jinhu and Wenqing have already adapted to the situation. They even leisurely looked at the scenery along the river and the fish in the water.

"Yes, it's quite fat!" Wen Qing followed Jinhu's gaze and saw that there were indeed a lot of them.

The bamboo raft was not going too fast. Except for the fact that the current in the middle of the river was quite fast and it took some effort to reach the other side, and it drifted a little downstream, the journey was quite smooth.

The bamboo raft docked, and Yanli jumped off the open space on the shore. He first pulled Xingxing, Wenqing and Jinhu off the raft, and then took the animal skin bag filled with salt. After the four of them took the cart, Li Mingsheng jumped off the raft.

The bamboo raft, without anyone to restrain it, also drifted downstream along the river.

As soon as they finished loading the cart, Li Mingsheng looked at Yanli, and they both understood each other. He said, "Let's do it!"

Wenqing: “???”

Jin Hu: "???"

Wenqing and the others could hardly keep up with Li Mingsheng and the others' riddles.

Li Mingsheng and Yanli stepped forward and protected Wenqing, Jinhu and the others behind them, with arrows already nocked on their bows.

With a whoosh sound, the arrow in Li Mingsheng's hand shot out, like a flash of lightning across the night sky, demonstrating its speed and power.

Yu Qing looked at the mysterious weapon coming towards him, passing through the leaves and across his right wing. The feather he cherished so much slowly fell from the tree.

"Come out, mysterious friend, otherwise the next arrow will not only miss you, but hit your throat." Li Mingsheng's tone was cold, as cold as the year-round snow on the mountains, giving people goose bumps.

Seeing this, Yuqing and Yingkong flew down from the tree, and when they landed on the ground, they transformed into human forms and put on the animal skin skirts.

"Who are you?" Yu Qing took the initiative and asked Li Mingsheng and the others first.

Yanli did not put down the arrow in his hand, but continued to aim at the two Feathered Orcs who appeared out of nowhere.

"Hahahaha, what you said is very interesting. We haven't even asked you yet, and you dare to ask."

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Xiong Yan came out from the woods behind, with Bao Bai beside him.

"I'm sorry, it's our tribe's fault. The two of them were on guard outside for the safety of our tribe."

"We are all slaves. We all escaped with great difficulty. We have no intention of offending you. Please forgive us." Bao Bai said with a stern face and asked Yu Qing and the others to apologize.

"Oh! Your tribe..." Li Mingsheng asked.

Bao Bai thought he had aroused the other party's interest, so he introduced: "The person next to me is our leader Xiong Yan, my name is Bao Bai, and the ones who just offended you are Yu Qing and Ying Kong."

"May I know your names..."

Li Mingsheng looked at the other party who was pretending to be nice to him, so he also gave him a fake smile.

"My name is Li Mingsheng, his name is Yanli, and the other two are Wenqing and Jinhu." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, Li Mingsheng introduced them one by one.

"We can be said to have known each other for a long time. I wonder if you are also heading to the slave tribe?" Xiong Yan, who had been silent until now, spoke at this time.

"Oh. Are you going to the slave tribe too?" Li Mingsheng knew that the other party was testing him, and so was he.

"Yes, then we are destined to meet each other. Why don't we travel together so that we can take care of each other on the way." Xiong Yan pretended to make a very sincere invitation.

He originally thought that Li Mingsheng and the others would refuse and that they would have to ask him again and again, but Li Mingsheng did not play by the rules.

"Great! There are only four of us. We were worried about not having company, and we were trembling all the way."

Li Mingsheng looked as if he had survived a disaster after he finished speaking.

"Okay, okay! Good brother, let's go back to the temporary residence of our tribe and have a good rest, and then set off together tomorrow!" Seeing the other party's look, Xiong Yan immediately laughed heartily, came over to Li Mingsheng and called him brother.

Yanli raised his eyebrows when he saw this, knowing that his brother Li was just pretending to be stupid.

Wenqing watched from the side, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
