Chapter 70 A ray of hope (more updates with votes)
Si Shuo supported his forehead with his hand, "Ji Liang, are there many orcs who have the ability to teleport? What are the restrictions on their ability to use it?"
Ji Liang raised his eyebrows: "Point-to-point teleportation is a space-related ability. There are not many of them, so we can compare them to the number of holy females. Xiao Shuo Shuo wants the orcs who are teleporting to go and ask for help? The distance they teleport, the number of people they transmit at the same time, and the number of times they teleport are related to the level of their ability."
Zhile said in a deep voice: "If the skin, flesh, bones and crystals of the beasts can be used, the orcs with high combat power and courage can still take the risk to harvest them, but the ferocious beasts after they go berserk are useless.
As long as the beast tide has not reached the tribe's gate, orcs from other tribes will rarely get involved.
What's more, Puchang City is quite large, and there are many orcs. They don't think they can't defend it. At most, they will suffer heavy losses."
Si Shuo couldn't help but ask, "If they encounter a beast tide, the beastmen won't just go and fight against it, right?"
"The orcs with earth-based abilities will create some special terrain to disperse the beasts in the beast tide. The wood and fire abilities will burn them. The water and earth abilities will work together to dig pits and fill them with water. The gold ability will release golden needles..." Xu Chi told them about the method he saw the orcs use to resist the beast tide. "And with the orcs transforming and fighting with them, a small-scale beast tide can be basically resolved. A medium-scale one will be in danger of extermination. A large-scale beast tide is simply unbearable!"
He stroked his restless heart and said, "The scale of this incident is at least above average."
The other beastmen also nodded. They were strong, and even if they faced a group of wolves, they were confident that they could escape alive.
However, the scale of the beast tide is so terrifying that it makes people tremble from the bottom of their souls. The orcs call it the wrath and punishment of the Beast God.
It is just like when humans face the wrath of nature. Their power is so small that they cannot resist at all and can only passively endure it.
Si Shuo pursed her lips. In her memory, people would build trenches when fighting, and more than one trench, fighting and retreating at the same time to gradually wear down the enemy's strength.
She lowered her eyes slightly and called the system: System, will you take in the frenzied beast? Can you sort out the chaotic energy crystal? This is a critical moment related to the life and death of your host and beast husband, as well as the future cubs. You can apply for official leniency! The system was silent for a moment and then came online: Host, your request has been conveyed and a reply has been received. The Puchang City Beast Tide dungeon mission has been opened for you and has been sent to your task bar. Please check it.
Si Shuo...it's already this late, and you're still doing the mission?
She opened the taskbar and saw the new task. When she clicked on it, there was a long background introduction, which was similar to the analysis given to her by the beastly husbands.
Mission objectives: 1. Kill 100 level 12 beasts (randomly drop supreme level skin, flesh, tendons, and crystals); 2. Kill 1,000 level 10 beasts (randomly drop top-grade skin, flesh, tendons, and crystals); 3. Kill 10,000 level 8 beasts (…high-grade…); 4. Kill 100,000 level 6 beasts (…medium-grade…); 5. Kill 1,000,000 level 4 beasts (…low-grade…); 6. Kill beasts below level 4 (no grade) Mission rewards and instructions: In the monster killing copy led by the host, the random dropped items are distributed by the host at will and temporarily stored in the transit storage grid. For every major task completed, the threat to the survival of the orcs is reduced by one point, and you will receive additional generous rewards. The survival of the orcs in the southern continent is the responsibility of every orc, please cheer up, host! Si Shuo felt a little dizzy when looking at the string of zeros. Not to mention the high-level ferocious beasts, even a million frenzied level-four ferocious beasts would be shocking enough. Moreover, there must be ferocious beasts below level-four in the beast tide, and their number would be considerable.
Since the system has given her a task, the number of beasts in the beast tide must be much more! She asked tremblingly, "How many beastmen are there in Puchang City?"
Ji Liang narrowed his golden eyes and hissed, "Xiao Shuo Shuo, I came here before I looked for you, and I happened to hear the statistics. Not counting females and cubs, there are about 150,000 resident orcs.
Now that the weather is warmer, many females bring their beast husbands to Puchang City to play, and some also want to join the traveling merchant teams or the teams in the city to go to the Central Continent.
The combat power does not exceed 180,000. Including the foreign males, the number of awakened ones is less than 90,000!"
Si Shuo counted on his fingers, wouldn't it be necessary for each orc to fight one against two or three hundred to have a chance of winning? After all, not all the beasts have awakened their special powers.
However, there are two good news at present. First, she has a preliminary understanding of the scale of the beast tide and the number and level of the ferocious beasts, which will facilitate future strategic planning.
Secondly, with the system, the beasts that are not worth taking can drop useful items when they are killed. If it is profitable, she can summon more high-level orcs to come to Puchang City for support!
She thought for a moment, then smiled and said to them, "I just contacted the Beast God. He promised that he would purify the beasts we killed into usable skin, flesh, bones, and crystals. I will distribute them when the time comes."
Several males were shocked and a look of joy appeared on their faces.
“Hiss, since the skin, flesh, bones and crystals of the ferocious beasts that have gone berserk can all be used, we can treat the beast tide as a large-scale hunting activity in the southern continent!”
"I hunted down the beasts while investigating the beast tide. As long as everyone can see that the frenzied beasts can be purified, there will be no shortage of high-level beastmen willing to take the risk..."
Si Shuo hummed, took out a pen and paper, and leaned over the table to draw for them while saying, "We'd better gather as many orcs as possible to scout the spot for teleportation, take advantage of the advance sense of the beast tide, make some preparations early, and teleport the females and cubs away first.
Scout outside the city one day away from the beast tide and set up the first line of defense... set up the second line of defense half a day away... set up the third line of defense outside the city...
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
We have to plan the direction of retreat, explore a few more points in advance, and set up defense lines. We don't have to use Puchang City as the last line of defense... We have to slowly grind and consume this large-scale beast tide!"
After listening to her words, the males' inherent thinking of how to deal with the beast tide was broken. They were excited and listened to her patiently, discussing and adding a lot of details.
Si Shuo couldn't stay at home, so he went with the beastmen to find Xu Lie and talked to the city lord Shi Fu, a level 12 elephant orc.
Shi Fu was different from all the orcs Si Shuo had met. He looked like a fat, white, rich man. He smiled very kindly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Except for some respect towards Xu Lieshi, he was too lazy to even lift his eyelids when facing Si Shuo and his group.
Xu Lie was in the middle and didn't know what to do. After introducing both parties, he said respectfully: "City Lord Shifu, Saint Si Shuo is more favored by the Beast God. The Beast God informed him of the coming of the beast tide through her, and she can purify the frenzied beasts, leaving Puchang City with a glimmer of hope. It doesn't seem like a random act."
