Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 70

Ch 70: A Glimmer of Hope

Si Shuo rested her head in her hand, “Ji Liang, are there many Beastmen with Aura Teleportation? What are the limitations of their ability?”

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow: “Aura Teleportation belongs to the Space Affinity, there aren’t many, maybe comparable to the number of Holy Ladies. Little Shuo Shuo wants to have an Aura Teleportation Ability User go ask for reinforcements?

The distance they can teleport, the number of people they can transport at once, and the number of times they can teleport are all related to their ability level.”

Zhile said in a deep voice, “If the Savage Beasts’ hide, flesh, tendons, and crystals can be used, Beastmen with high combat strength and courage might risk coming to harvest them, but Berserk Beasts have nothing of value.”

As long as the beast tide hasn’t reached the tribe’s doorstep, Beastmen from other tribes rarely get involved.

What’s more, Pu’chang City is quite large, with a considerable number of Beastmen. They don’t think it can’t be defended, just that there will be heavy losses.”

Si Shuo couldn’t help but ask, “If they encounter a beast tide, don’t the Beastmen directly confront it?”

“Earth Affinity Beastmen will create special terrains to scatter the Savage Beasts in the beast tide. Wood and Fire Affinity Users will incinerate them. Water and Earth Affinity Users will cooperate to dig pits and fill them with water. Metal Affinity Users will release metal needles…” Brother Xu Chi explained the methods he had seen Beastmen use to resist beast tides, “Combined with the Beastmen’s Beast Transformation to entangle with them, small-scale beast tides can basically be resolved. Medium-scale ones risk the destruction of the tribe, and large-scale beast tides are impossible to withstand!”

He stroked his restless heart, “This time, the scale is at least above medium.”

The other Beast Husbands also nodded. With their strength, they could take on multiple opponents. Even against a pack of Wolf Beasts, they were confident they could escape alive.

But the scale of the beast tide made one’s soul tremble. The Beastmen called it the Beast God’s wrath and punishment.

It was as if humans were facing the fury of nature, their power insignificant and unable to resist, only able to passively endure.

Si Shuo pursed her lips. In her memory, people fought wars by building trenches, and not just one, but multiple, gradually weakening the enemy’s strength as they retreated.

She lowered her eyes slightly and called out to the system: “System, do you guys collect Berserk Savage Beasts? Can you sort out the energy of the impure and chaotic crystals? This is a critical moment concerning the survival of your host, the Beast Husbands, and future Cubs. Can you apply for official leniency!”

The system was silent for a moment before coming online: “Host, your request has been conveyed and a response has been received. The Pu’chang City Beast Tide Instance Quest has been activated for you and sent to your quest log. Please check it.”

Si Shuo… This is not the time to do quests!

She opened her quest log and indeed saw a new quest. Opening it revealed a long background introduction, similar to what the Beast Husbands had analyzed for her.

Quest Objectives: 1. Kill 100 Level Twelve Savage Beasts（Randomly drop Supreme-grade hide, flesh, tendons, and crystals）; 2. Kill 1000 Level Ten Savage Beasts（Randomly drop Excellent-grade hide, flesh, tendons, and crystals）; 3. Kill 10,000 Level Eight Savage Beasts（…Superior-grade…）; 4. Kill 100,000 Level Six Savage Beasts（…Medium-grade…）; 5. Kill 1,000,000 Level Four Savage Beasts（…Low-grade…）; 6. Kill Savage Beasts below Level Four（No grade）

Quest Rewards and Instructions: In the monster-killing instance led by the host, the randomly dropped items will be distributed at the host’s discretion and temporarily stored in the transit storage grid. For each major quest completed, the threat to the Beastmen’s survival will be reduced by one point, and you will receive additional generous rewards. The survival of the Beastmen on the Southern Continent is the responsibility of every Beastman. Host, please do your best!

Si Shuo felt a little dizzy looking at that string of zeros. Not to mention the high-level Savage Beasts, just one million Berserk Level Four Savage Beasts was shocking enough. Moreover, there were definitely Savage Beasts below Level Four in the beast tide, and there wouldn’t be few of them either.

Since the system had issued her a quest, the actual number of Savage Beasts in the beast tide would only be higher!

She asked tremulously, “How many Beastmen are there in Pu’chang City?”

Ji Liang’s golden eyes narrowed slightly, hissing, “Little Shuo Shuo, I came here before I found you and happened to hear the statistics. Not counting the females and Cubs, there are about 150,000 resident Beastmen.

These days, with the weather warming up, many females have brought their Beast Husbands to Pu’chang City to play, and some want to join the traveling merchant bands or the city’s teams to go to the Central Continent.

◈◈◈

The combat strength doesn’t exceed 180,000. Counting the foreign males, the number of Awakened is less than 90,000!”

Si Shuo counted on her fingers. Wouldn’t each Beastman have to fight two or three hundred enemies to have a chance of winning? After all, not all Savage Beasts had awakened abilities.

However, there were two decent pieces of news. First, she had a preliminary understanding of the scale of the beast tide and the number of Savage Beasts at each level, which would be useful for future strategic planning.

Second, with the system, even Savage Beasts with nothing of value could drop usable items when killed. With benefits to be gained, she could summon more high-level Beastmen to come to Pu’chang City for support!

She pondered for a moment, a smile appearing on her face, and said to them, “I just contacted the Beast God, and the Beast God has promised that the Savage Beasts we kill will be purified into usable hide, flesh, tendons, and crystals, which I will then distribute uniformly.”

The males’ bodies trembled, and joy appeared on their faces.

“Hiss, since the Berserk Savage Beasts’ hide, flesh, tendons, and crystals can all be used, then we can treat the beast tide as a large-scale hunting event for the Southern Continent!”

“When I was scouting the beast tide, I hunted Savage Beasts. As long as everyone can see that Berserk Savage Beasts can be purified, there will be no shortage of high-level Beastmen willing to risk coming…”

Si Shuo hummed in agreement, took out a pen and paper, leaned over the table, and said as she drew,

“We should gather as many Aura Teleportation Ability Users as possible. Taking advantage of our advance knowledge of the beast tide, we should prepare defenses early and teleport the females and Cubs away first.

Set up the first line of defense at a location outside the city one day away from the beast tide… Set up the second line of defense half a day away… Set up the third line of defense outside the city…

We have to plan the direction of retreat, set up multiple Aura Teleportation spots in advance, and set up defense lines as well. We don’t necessarily have to treat Pu’chang City as the final defense line… We’ll just grind them down slowly and wear down this large-scale beast tide!”

Listening to her words, the males’ inherent thinking about dealing with beast tides was shattered. They were filled with excitement, patiently listened to her, and discussed and added many details.

Si Shuo couldn’t stay at home either, so she and the Beast Husbands found Xu Lie and spoke with City Lord Shi Fu, a Level Twelve Elephant Beastman.

Shi Fu was different from all the Beastmen Si Shuo had met. He was a plump, wealthy man who looked very amiable when he smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. Except for being somewhat respectful to Xu Lie, he didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids when facing Si Shuo and the others.

Sandwiched in the middle, Xu Lie didn’t know what to do. After introducing both parties, he respectfully said, “City Lord Shi Fu, Si Shuo is favored by the Beast God. The Beast God informed us of the coming beast tide through her and said that she can purify the Berserk Savage Beasts, leaving a glimmer of hope for Pu’chang City. It’s not like she’s making things up out of thin air.”
