Chapter 266 - Beastmen



Chapter 266 – Beastmen

Ten days passed since the battle against the Royal Knight and the Guardian Knight. Chief Rick rebuilt his new village in the bamboo forest. The area was partly safe since the beast that resided in the bamboo area was a poisonous snake.

It was a safe area as the Old Man Rick knew a trick to make the snake stay away from the village. It was an aromatic concoction that the poisonous hated, causing them to stay away from the village.

They just needed to spray the concoction every morning and night, every twelve hours, and their village was safe from the poisonous snake.

Tang Shaoyang and his party helped the villagers to settle in by hunting the poisonous snake nearby while the villagers built the house. Even though most of the villagers were women, they built their houses pretty fast.

Three houses per day, it was quite an amazing speed. But of course, that was just a simple house to protect them from the cold late autumn and sleep in the night. Ten days, the villagers had built thirty houses which were enough to accommodate everyone.

The two villagers on guard noticed Tang's arrival. They nodded their head and let him in while their eyes focused on the unconscious Selena on his back.

Even though most of the houses were finished, the villagers did not stop working. They had to build a warehouse to store their food during winter, gathering the woods for the winter, and more for the incoming winter.

This would be their first outside the city, there were many works to do for them to survive in the wild. Old Man Rick who was helping the villagers carrying the big wood noticed Tang's arrival.

He put the wood on the ground and approached him, "How's it going?" Then he glanced at the unconscious girl on his back, "Who is she?"

"My slave and also a Cleric," Tang Shaoyang did not bother to hide Selena's identity from the old man, "Also, make sure for your people to not wander too far from the village."

"Oh, another Cleric!?" The old man was happy with another Cleric in their village. It increased the chance of their survivability with more clerics joining in, "Why? Do the beasts outside get more aggressive?"

"No, but the Waskin Adventurer Guild called Diamond Rank Parties for the Beast Stampede, and from my information, one of them interested in the quest," Tang Shaoyang told the old man, not hiding a single thing from him, "Don't worry, I will stay in the village until the Beast Stampede starts."

Old Man Rick let out a relieved sigh at Tang Shaoyang's last sentence, "But are you okay? This is the Diamond Rank Party we are talking about, they are far stronger than the Emerald Rank Party!"

"You are worried too much, Old Man Rick," Tang Shaoyang grinned, "Leave them to me!"

After the short exchange with Old Man Rick, Tang Shaoyang went to his house. For some reason, his house was bigger than any other house around.

When he got inside the house, Elin and Delia were preparing something, food for lunch. The creaked noise caused the two girls to turn around.

Delia's facial feature frightened in an instant when she saw who was coming back. Her lips cracked into a wide smile while Elim smiled gently. Both stopped at what they were doing and approached their man.

"Welcome back~" Delia was about to pounce on Tang but stopped when she noticed the unconscious Selena, "Who is she?" Her tone contained curiosity instead of jealousy.

"My slave!" Tang Shaoyang replied and put Selena on the wooden bed. After that, he opened his arms, and Delia jumped into his hug, "So what does our lovely Delia make for our lunch?"

After her death, Tang Shaoyang treated Delia gentler. Of course, that was not just Delia but also the other girls. He waved his hand toward Elin to come too.

The three hugged for a while, "We are cooking Iron Hide Deer stew," Delia replied as she pointed to the decapitated Iron Hide Deer on the floor in the kitchen. 

"Huu, that must be delicious," Tang Shaoyang smiled back at the girl, "Of course, Sister Elin is the best cook in the city… I am also learning to cook from Sister Elin," she ended her words with a voice as small as a mosquito.

"Hehe, then I want to taste Delia's cook later too, can you make something later?" Tang Shaoyang smiled while stroking Delia's hair.

Elinova watched the man and the girl exchanged the conversation. She was surprised that the man changed this much and also happy at the same time. Before she thought Tang was a crude man that always had his way with his strength, she never expected to see this side of him.

"So, where's Arina and Suyin? I don't see them outside too," his two girls were missing, quite worried, especially for Liang Suyin.

"Oh, Sister Suyin went to the forest to hunt more beasts and Sister Arina followed her," Delia replied with a slightly concerned tone.

Tang Shaoyang looked toward Elin, and the latter nodded her head, "Can you check on them? I am worried for Suyin, she is still feeling guilty for Delia's death."

"Alright, I will look for them, and watch her for me!" He pointed at Selena before he left the house.

Tang Shaoyang went deeper to the north, he had been exploring the area around the bamboo forest and quite familiar with the area. He knew where the hunting ground was.

Using his [Spirit Eyes], he scanned the surroundings while dashing toward the hunting ground. The deeper he went into the forest, he encountered varieties of the beast.

He came out of the bamboo forest and started to search around. This was an area of Iron Hide Deer, Iron Lizard, and Iron Coyote. The area was occupied by these three types of beasts with part of their bodies being iron.

The best hunting ground for his subordinates, stage-3 Beast with the highest level was level 97. As soon as he entered the area, sure enough, he smelled a burning smell. His [Spirit Eyes] also found a smoky area ahead.

Tang Shaoyang rushed forward to see what happened because the smoke was so thick. It was unusual unless there was a big battle ahead.

Soon, he reached the burning area, the flame was still burning the grass fiercely. The flame should be from Liang Suyin's ability. From the normal blessing, she got [Fire Elementalist] Class. So he was sure the fire source was Liang Suyin.

Soon, he heard a small explosion ahead of him. Without hesitation, he rushed forward with his [Flash Step].

Soon he saw Liang Suyin was besieged by beastmen. Yep, she was fighting beastmen, nine of them while protecting Arina. Three Coyote's head beastmen, three Lizardmen, and three Deer's head beastmen.

It was not Deere he encountered in the beforehand portal since iron covered its body. He dashed forward to the front of Liang Suyin and punched the Coyote in the head.

He did not know why, but when he appeared, the nine beastmen immediately retreated instead of attacking him. He ignored the beastmen and checked on Liang Suyin, "Are you okay?"

Despite her miserable condition with a few cuts here and there, the girl nodded, "Mnn, I am fine."

He could see Arina was still healing Suyin, so she should be fine. Tang Shaoyang then focused his attention on the beastmen, "Humans! You are disrupting the peace in the forest, leave if you don't want to die here. Leave the forest!" The Coyote head spoke in human language to Tang Shaoyang.
