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

Yanli watched Li Mingsheng's disappearing figure in the cave. He couldn't help feeling a little worried. He sat by the fire with a solemn expression, looking like he had a lot on his mind.

Li Mingsheng was very fast. He climbed up the altar carefully, and used his small body to slowly climb to the highest point of the altar. On the altar there was a tall piece of wood with special patterns carved on it.

Li Mingsheng took a quick look and realized that the formation at the entrance should be controlled by this altar. He climbed up quickly, put down the red crystal at the highest point, and then input spiritual power to activate the formation.

After finishing everything, he slid down quickly and then walked away. No one noticed this movement in the dark except Yanli and Li Mingsheng.

Only after seeing Li Mingsheng return safely did Yanli close his eyes with relief.

Early the next morning, before it was fully light, they were woken up by other members of the slave tribe. Li Mingsheng and Wenqing were separated into two teams.

The orcs joined the hunting team, and the sub-orcs and cubs joined the gathering team.

They stood on the flat ground of the tribe, facing the altar. The witch on the altar, whom Li Mingsheng and the others had only heard of yesterday, was called Shen Ya.

"My people, the Beast God will bring you good luck and grant us an endless supply of food. Please pray that we will have a good harvest today!" The goddess sang and danced on the altar.

The other orcs and sub-orcs below echoed, "Please, Beast God, grant us a good harvest! Please, Beast God, grant us a good harvest!" Not only did they shout, they also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the altar.

Li Mingsheng and the others were all confused by this. He pulled Yanli down to squat on the ground and pretended to kneel down together, otherwise they would be too conspicuous if they stood upright.

"Isn't this really a pyramid scheme?" Li Mingsheng complained in a low voice.

After squatting for a few minutes, they stood up along with the other slaves who were kneeling on the ground.

Shen Ya finally finished the ceremony and returned to her cave.

"This tribe seems to have no leader, and we don't seem to have ever heard of it." Li Mingsheng finally felt what was wrong.

They had been in the slave tribe for a day. Logically, after meeting the witch, they should have met the leader of the tribe. However, he had not shown up from yesterday to the morning meeting.

"Could it be that this slave tribe has no leader?" Yu Qing expressed his guess. This is very likely, after all, the witch of this tribe is so powerful.

"It shouldn't be. I heard from people from other tribes before that those who took people out to trade in the past were all leaders of slave tribes. I guess something happened." Li Mingsheng and the others still agreed with Jin Wu's statement.

"Then let's give it a try first." After saying that, Li Mingsheng stopped talking and pulled Yanli to queue up for food.

The slave tribe had a simple meal in the morning. Each person had a palm-sized piece of rice root and a piece of burnt and cold exotic animal meat.

Liming felt that there was still a smell when he ate it raw, as if it was prepared last night and had gone a little bad.

"It's not tasty!" Yanli frowned and threw the exotic beast meat into Li Mingsheng's stone bowl.

"It's tasty, but there's no salt in it."

"Then let's go hunting later and improve our food." Li Mingsheng was not interested in the meat of these exotic animals and threw it into the bowl of a thin orc next to him.

This orc looked very thin, with wrists as thin as sticks, and he looked starving.

When the orc saw the two pieces of exotic beast meat suddenly appear in the bowl, he quickly hugged the stone bowl as if someone would snatch it away.

He gobbled the meat ravenously, swallowing it without even chewing it.

After he had licked everything in the bowl clean, he turned his attention to Li Mingsheng and the others.

"It's better not to give food to others easily. You will know in the future that this place is very cruel." The orc reminded in a low voice after finishing eating.

His voice was a little trembling, probably because he hadn't spoken for too long and was still adjusting.

"You must have just arrived. You will know after a while." He seemed to have found the technique to start speaking, and he spoke the next words fluently.

And judging from his voice, he shouldn't be too old. Li Mingsheng judged that he should be younger than him and Yanli.

As if he saw that Li Mingsheng and Yanli ignored him, he raised his head and stared at Li Mingsheng for a few seconds, then lowered his head again.

It was these few seconds that made Li Mingsheng feel very familiar.

It seems like I have seen it somewhere.

"Look up and let me see again." Li Mingsheng said to the thin orc.

When he spoke, even Yanli became curious.

"What's wrong? Do you know him?" Yanli leaned on Li Mingsheng's shoulder and asked in a voice that only he and Li Mingsheng could hear. Then he stretched his head and glanced at the person next to Li Mingsheng.

She had messy hair, a very thin body, and didn't look very tall. Even her fur skirt had several holes in it.

He searched his memory but found no impression of her. He guessed that she was someone Li Mingsheng knew before he met him, or was a slave he had lived with in the tribe he once stayed in.

"I don't know, but it's very familiar." Li Mingsheng did not give a definite answer to Yanli, because he also just felt familiar.

The skinny orc was stared at by two orcs who were stronger and more powerful than him, so he resigned himself to his fate and looked up.

I closed my eyes and thought to myself, I hope I don’t hit him, and if I do, don’t hit him too hard.

But the familiar pain did not come, but a pleasant voice came to his ears.

"You. Are you the light?"

He opened his eyes wide in admiration, and his big grape-like eyes looked a little creepy on his small face.

"You know me!" He said excitedly, and there seemed to be light in his eyes that re-ignited in this dark abyss.

He looked at Li Mingsheng's face carefully, then compared it with the blurred face.

"You are Dawn, the Dawn who escaped from the cannibal tribe!" He seemed very excited.

After all, there is someone I know in this abyss, and it seems that I have found hope and direction again.

But then his face turned sad again.

"You shouldn't have come here. This is purgatory, a purgatory as terrible as the cannibal tribe."

Li Mingsheng watched the other person go from joy to sadness, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Stop crying, he's not dead yet." As soon as Yanli finished speaking, the little orc on his right stopped crying and stared at Yanli with tears in his eyes, as if he was frightened.

He didn't dare to speak again.

Li Mingsheng looked at Yanli and found that this voice was indeed much more useful than his own.

He rubbed Yanli's head and affirmed his sharp words.

"Where are Li Su and the others?" Li Mingsheng saw the light. Two winter seasons had passed, and he had actually differentiated into an orc warrior. However, he was only a two-star warrior and his strength was still very weak.

"They...they have all gone to see the Beast God." Guang choked a little, as if he remembered something hard to accept.

He trembled as he spoke in a low voice: "Last snowy season, the snow and wind were very strong, and there was no food left in the tribe. That evil witch captured Brother Li Su and his men..."

Whenever he thought of that scene, he found it hard to accept and his whole body trembled.
