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

Chapter 172 Building River Embankments

With their affirmation, Li Mingsheng finally made up his mind.

"Okay, then you notify everyone that after breakfast this morning, except for the cubs and those with limited mobility, everyone will go to dig for stones."

Li Mingsheng is very proactive. Once he makes a decision, he will act immediately.

It seemed like the weather was also good. After breakfast, the rainstorm suddenly stopped. Although the sky was still dark, it seemed that an even bigger storm was brewing.

But at least it gave Li Mingsheng and others some time to catch their breath.

Everyone was digging stones, and everyone was digging black silt.

The black mud dries very quickly. Once applied, it will stick to the surface in less than ten minutes and is difficult to separate.

Even the rain can't do anything to it.

No one in the Jiuzhou tribe had any complaints. For those who joined later, they had not participated in the construction of the previous houses, but now with the river embankment, this major project, they can finally leave a strong mark.

They didn't think anything about it and instead worked extra hard.

After the heavy rain stopped for a day, it continued at night.

Fortunately, Li Mingsheng and his team had already built several hundred meters of river embankment, with a height of about four meters.

Because there are almost a thousand people in the tribe working at the same time from morning to night, the speed is naturally much faster.

The next day the rain showed no sign of stopping, so they continued repairing the house in the rain.

The same goes for the third day.

For five consecutive days, they were busy non-stop.

The heavy rain sometimes came and sometimes stopped, but it didn't affect them too much.

Li Mingsheng and his team deliberately left some openings when they were building the farmland, so that they could irrigate the fields later.

The cotton seeds and hemp stalks that were planted before have now grown, but unfortunately, with the arrival of heavy rain, many of them have been bent crooked by the rain.

Fortunately, the skinny monkey was smart enough. He found someone in the tribe and used bamboo and hay to build a simple shed for the crops. He also dug a small canal to let the rainwater flow out.

This is how we saved these little darlings.

Five days later, the rain showed no sign of abating.

The river level rose very quickly, and by the time they finished building the embankment, the water level had risen to one-third of the embankment.

Moreover, the water flow is fast and turbulent. If someone accidentally falls in, it is hard to know whether they can get out.

Especially the cubs, so the tribe has warned them not to play by the river.

"Finally I can take a breath."

After five days of high-intensity labor, even the powerful orcs could not bear it anymore.

Although Li Mingsheng and Yanli have spiritual power to protect them, they have been having a hard time these days because they have to focus more and work harder than others.

"I'm still a little worried." Li Mingsheng pinched Yanli's fingers and played with them, but there was still a hint of worry in his brows.

"Relax first, we have done everything we can, not to mention you have specially set up the formation."

Yanli Guanweidao.

"That's true. We have done everything we can. I will pay more attention these days."

“No surprises are best.”

Li Mingsheng also felt that constantly complaining about himself did affect his basic judgment.

It is better to listen to the words of disgust and relax.

They try their best to pay attention to every detail, and as for the results, it is enough that they have tried their best.

Even if it was really submerged by floods, as long as people were still there, he believed that he could build the first Kyushu tribe and the second one.

"Okay, don't think too much. Let's rest first. Tomorrow, we'll go out and see if we can catch any prey. After all, we've been eating bacon these days. Don't touch the bleating beasts and long-eared beasts we tamed before."

Yanli's proposal did divert Li Mingsheng's attention.

The next day, the heavy rain continued, and the water level in some low-lying areas of the tribe had reached calf level.

After breakfast, Li Mingsheng and Yanli took their equipment and went out with a team of orcs to see if they could gain anything.

Probably due to the heavy rain, there were no signs of any exotic animals in the wild.

But despite this, they had an unexpected gain.

We harvested more than a dozen baskets of fish and animals.

These fish and animals were probably washed here along the river, and because of the water level, they were stranded in a small pond within the tribe's hunting range.

Each one of them looks very plump and solid.

The largest ones are as thick as Li Mingsheng’s thighs.

Since there were no other strange beasts in sight, everyone simply gave up looking for them and focused on catching fish.

Although these fish are fierce, they are no match for the orcs.

They kept catching fish until the afternoon before carrying them back.

"These fish are enough for us to eat for two days."

Yanli said as she wiped his long hair.

They just came back after delivering the fish to the kitchen.

"Yes. But I still hope the rain stops soon!" Li Mingsheng took the handkerchief from Yanli's hand, gently grasped his hair in his hand, and slowly wiped it. He himself had a short haircut, so he didn't need to take care of it.

By the time the dinner notice came, Yanli's hair had already dried. Because of the heavy rain, the tribesmen did not go out easily.

Yanli simply went over the current situation in the tribe one by one.

Li Mingsheng was not idle either. He took this time to write some lesson plans.

He had to try to train enough capable people this summer so that he could take over the role of teacher next year and specialize in teaching these cubs in the tribe.

Currently, there are more than thirty cubs in the tribe, including more than a dozen teenagers who are already of beast age. In the eyes of Wanyuan Continent, those who have not yet differentiated into adults can be considered cubs.

"It seems there is a fish beast tonight."

"Ah, this stuff is so disgusting. Has our tribe fallen to this level? Then I have to find someone tomorrow to see if we can go out hunting."

This was the conversation that Li Mingsheng and Yanli heard from the orcs traveling with them when they first entered the cafeteria.

But after entering the cafeteria for a while, it was a completely different scene.

"Wow, the meat of this fish beast is so delicious. It would be better if it didn't have those prickly little bones."

"Yes, yes."

"Wow, this fish beast soup is delicious too."

There was endless praise, and the beastmen who had previously been resistant to the fish beasts all trotted to the food window.

I want to try it as soon as possible to see if it is really as delicious as they say.

"Chief, Lord Yanli, you are here."

"The fish soup is simmering in the pot. It's delicious."

After Li Mingsheng and the others entered the kitchen, Song hurriedly greeted them.

Since Song took over the kitchen, he has been managing it better and better, and the food tastes even better than what Wenqing originally cooked.

It turns out that we still need to delegate power appropriately, which may provide unexpected surprises.

"Just keep busy, we can do it ourselves."

Li Mingsheng and Yanli saw that people were still busy at the cafeteria window outside and didn't want to disturb each other's work.

Without letting Song pay too much attention to them, the two of them brought the food out and started eating in the cafeteria, which was a rare occurrence.

After all, they usually took it back directly.
