Chapter 735: The Beast’s Got Jobs
“My king! It is time!” Lin Wu was woken out of his trance by a sudden voice.
Lin Wu’s eyes opened wide as he immediately checked the monitoring screens.
On the screen, he could see turbulent spirit Qi and spatial fluctuations around several disciples that were sitting and cultivating deeply.
“So they are finally ready…” Lin Wu muttered.
There were thirteen disciples in total that had come from the Frozen Cloud sect, along with the remaining two that were Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge. The two were the first ones to progress out of the rest and now the time for the others had come as well.
Even if they might have been a bit late, seeing as over a year had passed, it was not a bad time at all.
“Tell all beasts at the core condensation realm and below to retreat to the fourth ring!” Lin Wu gave out the order.
The order was transmitted to his servants and subordinates, who quickly acted on his order. Today, droves of beasts migrated from the fifth and sixth ring to the fourth ring. This migration was enough to scare the weaker, less intelligent beasts who were startled into retreating even further.
If this was not controlled, there was a chance that they might just end up running all the way out of the millennium forest, trigging a beast tide. That was not something Lin Wu wanted, and his servants already knew that.
The servant of his had their own subordinates and these were already assigned to the second and first ring a long time ago. They would make sure that the beasts of the millennium forest don’t just leave in mass numbers.
A few of them were fine, but hundreds and thousands was certainly not okay. The beasts that were assigned to the second and first ring were at the core condensation realm. In these areas, humans woulds normally come to hunt.
Thus if such strong beasts were found there by them, they would be alerted and possibly cause more trouble for Lin Wu. Which was why this duty was chiefly assigned to the insect beasts that could dig and live underground.
They could monitor the situation and guard the first and second right appropriately. Not to mention they could also act as the first warning system for Lin Wu in case humans mounted an offense or a large number of them arrived in the forest.
While system could always tell this to Lin Wu, the same could not be said for Lin Wu’s servants. Since Lin Wu wanted to spend time in cultivation, he couldn’t always update his servants about each development.
Thus, to let them be independent this was another method. With this, Lin Wu could focus on his own cultivation and let the servants deal with the problems before he needed to even interfere.
So far, the system had been working as expected and now it would be another test for it.
There were over a hundred core condensation realm beasts watching the first and second right right now. All hidden underground, ready to act whenever needed for them.
Usually core condensation realm beasts wouldn’t like to be in the second and first ring as the concentration of spirit Qi here was less. But since they were doing a specific job that was important and issued by Lin Wu, they were not left uncompensated.
They were given benefits in the form of spirit fruits and spirit herbs that still helped them cultivate. In fact, this turned out to be a job that beasts competed to take, since the gains in this were higher than they would get by just staying in the fourth or third ring.
For all the beasts below Nascent soul realm, this was one of the best jobs they could get, other than becoming fertilizer and manure producers. The ones that made manure were rather rich too these days.
In fact, a couple of them were even getting smart enough to make their own farms and use their manure to cultivate the farm. They could be considered ‘cultivators’ too now.
Lin Wu jokingly called them Shit cultivators.
But many of these beasts wanted to be shit cultivators. It was a easy job that paid well, they simply needed to eat and shit out quality manure.
~Rumble~
“Huh? What’s that?” A few humans were hunting on the periphery of the second ring of the millennium forest currently.
They felt a low rumbling sound coming from the depths of the forest. It was very low so only a couple of them heard it, but a few seconds later the rest of them heard it too.
“What could that be?” someone questioned.
“No way, could it be a beast?” a man guessed as he tightened his grip on the spear he was holding.
“Just a single beast? Do you think it’s a core condensation realm beast?” a girl wondered.
“There are no core condensation realm beasts in the second ring, don’t you know?” the man said, doubting the girl’s intelligence.
“I know that!” The girl said, feeling offended.
“No, wait… there can be core condensation realm beasts here. But when they do appear… that means…” another older man said, as he face darkened.
“A beast tide!” The girl realized.
Cold sweat appeared in the backs of everyone that was here as they imagined the terrifying scene of thousands of beasts rushing out of the millennium forest.
They had already known that the millennium forest had gotten far more dangerous than it used to be in the past and the many warnings that had been issued. In fact, the fourth ring was almost deemed a restricted area these days for the benefit of the commoners and cultivators.
Nearly everyone knew that the Millennium forest now had a Dao Shell realm beast, the Twin Lights Liger King. The former rulers reputation was well known and his show of power a year ago was enough to startle most cultivator powers along with the kingdoms.
~tremble~
“LOOK! IT REALLY IS BEASTS!” The girl spotted.
