Chapter 56: Advancing into the Sunset Mountain Range!

Chapter 56: Advancing into the Sunset Mountain Range!

"There are too many magical beasts within the Sunset Mountain Range, so many that they are overflowing, the fact that the Northern Plains often have to suffer from beast tides is the best proof of this, going to hunt magical beasts in the Sunset Mountain Range is also for the good of the Northern Plains, and it also solves our food problem, it's a one-two punch!"

  In fact, Carlos still had the most crucial point that he didn't say, and that was that going to hunt magical beasts could enhance the accumulation of bloodline points, which was the most effective and fastest way for Carlos to become stronger!

  It's not convenient to say this reason explicitly, but these two reasons alone should be enough to convince Hylia as well.

  "Well, with the current state of the Northern Plains, it's really not easy to fend off beast tides on a regular basis, so let's all go together, the Mythic Rat People have a hard time fending off beast tides every time.

  We can get so many weapons also have the credit of the Mythic Ratman Clan, since we're going to settle in the Northern Plains, we have to contribute to the Northern Plains before we can do anything about it!"

  Shelia said very responsibly.

  "Huh?

  All together?"

  Carlos was only going to take Hoffman, the Bean, with him.

  When the time came to throw Hoffman a large beehive, which he was sure to hug and eat with gusto, Carlos would be able to absorb the bloodline points to his heart's content without worrying about being discovered.

  After all, once Hoffman was too caught up in the honey to care about anything else, Carlos wouldn't have to tie his hands.

  If everyone was together, it would be inconvenient to do things with so many people, Carlos instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at Shelia's energy it seemed like Carlos would not be allowed to refuse.

  "Of course we're all together, with all those weapons, how are you and Hoffman going to use them with two people, we're going to tackle the source of the beast tide, and that's an extraordinarily large thing to do.

  It's too much work for just the two of you, we all have to work together for a better Northern Plains!"

  Shelia said righteously, with unshakeable firmness in her words!

  "It's not too late, let's leave now!"

  Shelia said energetically.

  "Now?

  It's too soon, otherwise it's better to wait for the night and enter the Sunset Mountain Range with the Mys Rat People, so we can take care of each other at that time."

  Carlos suggested, after all, it was easier to absorb bloodline points at night when people weren't looking, and with so many people watching during the day, Carlos was a little bad at it.

  "Our routine is already messed up, we can't exactly have the same routine as the Mythic Rat People, it would be too much for everyone's bodies!"

  "Besides, with so many weapons, we can completely solve most of the magical beasts on the periphery of the Sunset Mountain Range by ourselves, we don't need the help of the Mys Rat People, not to mention that it's good to give Eilanth a surprise, before they were tired of fending off the Beast Tide, we quietly solved the threat of the Beast Tide for them, which is also regarded as your achievement as a lord! "

  Hylia thought clearly and analyzed it methodically, leaving Carlos speechless, and now Carlos couldn't find any more reasons.

  So Carlos and his group marched into the Sunset Mountain Range was formed and started the practicing mission, everyone was equipped with bows and crossbows, and the magic guided cannons brought six of them, Carlos and Shelia each operated three at the same time would be the limit, any more would be too much for their hands to handle.

  Previously on the ship, Hylia had once made the feat of firing five at once, this was because on the ship the magic guided cannons were all set up with bayonets, it was very convenient to adjust the direction in advance, aim at the target, and then just catalyze the magic energy.

  Here Carlos they didn't have anything to use to hold the mounts for the guns, being able to operate three at the same time was still due to Carlos's good coordination, and Hylia's three at the same time was a bit of a stretch, so the main effort was still on Carlos.

  The two huge crossbows were also brought along, Carlos had experienced its power more intuitively than anyone else, and knew exactly what kind of destructive power the ultra-high giant crossbow had, and in the face of the beast tide swarms, a weapon of such power was exactly what Carlos needed.

  This operation could be said to have brought all of what little Carlos had left with him, and it was also considered the first battle that Carlos had officially fought since arriving in the Northern Plains.

  Being the first battle it had to be a loud and powerful one, so Carlos spared no effort in its preparation.

  I don't know how many magical beasts lurk in the deep dense forest, the Sunset Mountain Range is the paradise of magical beasts, its depths don't know how many high level magical beasts live, it's a famous and dangerous place on the continent, and the North Plains is only bordered by one of the corners of the Sunset Mountain Range.

  A group of people came to the entrance of the Falling Mountain Range in great numbers, this was the bottom of the slope from the last time when they fought off the beast tide, and further on, the place shrouded by the large forest was the Falling Sun Mountain Range.

  "Is there any battle plan or anything like that?"

  Approaching his destination Carlos suddenly asked.

  "Uh," needless to say, the hesitant tone of voice meant no.

  "Ugh, how is this going to work!"

  Carlos said, holding his forehead, was he going to mess up the fight?

  You're really going to go straight through with the shells?

  "First set up a simple tactic, the Robert Rabbits are more sensitive, use your bow to harass the beasts on the periphery, to attract their attention, and then fight and retreat, and we'll set up our magical guided cannons outside and wait, take turns attacking, and clean up any magical beasts that come charging out!"

  "Also this giant crossbow should always be ready, to save it for the big guys, in case there are any particularly huge magical beasts that the magical guide cannons can't cope with, we'll have to rely on these two giant crossbows!"

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

  In three words, a simple strategic deployment was planned by Carlos.

  "What about us?

  What are we going to do?"

  Hoffman felt like he hadn't been assigned a task.

  "Your mission is the hardest and most dangerous!"

  "The beasts are huge, the firepower of the magic guided cannons may not be enough to blast all of them, there will always be ones that pounce!"

  "At this time, your Bell Bear warriors should not only hold bows to help with fire suppression.

  We also have to go and collect relatively intact magical beast carcasses after each wave of the beasts' onslaught, as for the broken ones, we don't want them, and all the ones we collect will be our food for the future!"

  "Too much can be made into jerky and stored as supplies when you get back!

  It's all up to you guys how much you have to eat from now on, it's a very important mission!"

  Carlos said cautiously.

  "What about honey?"

  Hoffman was full of honey.

  "I'm telling you something serious, and all you have in your head is honey?

  If you want honey, you can go in and find it yourself when the problem of the beast tide is solved, and then you can take as much as you can find on your own.

  Now you first do the task I explained to you, this is related to whether we have meat to eat in the future, you don't always think of this and that honey, that beehive are in the forest, can't run away!"

  Carlos said helplessly.

  "Okay, got it!

  I'll take care of this."

  Hoffman chest thumped like he could pull this off.

  "Can I trust this Bean?"

  Carlos asked mentally.

Either way, there was no better person to do this now than the Bell Bears, and Carlos was on his own, and Shelia couldn't take care of herself.

  Averill and Robert rabbit tribe's stature and relatively short, even if it is a low-ranking magical beasts some of the figure is also taller than them, to them to drag may not be able to drag at all, not yet wait to drag away it, the next wave of beasts on the outpouring of the herd again.

  The best fit is the Bell Bears, but Hoffman the Bean is just not very reassuring.

  "Do a good job, and when you're done with it you'll have enough honey to manage this whole forest hive!"

  Carlos promises big money and hopes that Hoffman will not disappoint.

  "Okay!"

  Hoffman agreed painfully.

  Walking to the entrance out of the forest, everything went according to plan, first luring out the beasts, then focusing fire on them, and finally Hoffman led the men up to clean up the battlefield.

  Everything went on in an orderly fashion, and one by one the Wraith beasts came to this woven trap.

  These low-ranked magical beasts had relatively low intelligence, and despite the fact that many of the beasts had already taken the bait, and the place was filled with a strong smell of blood, they still came forward and backward.

  The only regret was that Carlos couldn't get bloodline points, and it hurt Carlos a little to watch those magical beasts fall in a pool of blood.

  Carlos could only gather magical energy one after another, repeating the mechanical action of firing the magical cannon, and then looking at all that blood couldn't help but lick his lips, an emotion called longing.

  Compared to Carlos' absentmindedness, Shelia was much more serious, her magical energy was not as strong as Carlos', and releasing magical energy back and forth in the three magical cannons was a bit overwhelming for Shelia!

  After carrying out so much of this, her magical energy had been about as bare as squeezing toothpaste, bit by bit very barely.

  However, the consumption of breaking through the limits like this would also be beneficial to Shelia's realm growth, so Carlos didn't take the initiative to let Shelia rest for a while first, and Shelia was good and strong enough to keep clenching her teeth.

  Although they had been holding on, the frequency of the magic guide cannons firing was getting slower and slower, and on Hylia's side, the pressure on the Bell Bear Clan warriors was increasing as the frontal firepower was no longer strong, and the number of magical beasts that pounced on them was increasing!

  While the firepower on Carlos' side was still fierce, the Bell Bears on Carlos' side were a little more relaxed, the same battlefield but with two very different atmospheres.

  One was tense and rushed, the other was relaxed and cozy, Carlos even had the effort to take a gap to support Shelia's side, the Wraith Beasts attacked in a wide range, but Carlos's firepower was still able to support Shelia's side in time.

  "That's fine, take a break."

  Carlos shouted at the Robert the Rabbit who was about to enter the forest again to lure the beasts.

  Hylia was already a bit unable to hold on, over releasing and using magical energy would bring a considerable burden with her body.

  Carlos could see that Shelia was nearing her limit, teetering in the scale of the edge of the limit often fostered growth, but could be extremely damaging if not properly grasped.

  Seeing that Shelia might be on the verge of a breakdown, Carlos called a timely halt.

  Afterwards, he briefly counted the harvest, the collected magical beast blood and meat reached an astonishing amount, if all of them were stored, it should be enough to eat for a month, but it had to be quickly air-dried in order to be preserved, or else it would be easy to rot, and this would have a bloodletting process to do.

  In order to make the meat rot a little slower, to put all the blood within the blood and meat, so that you can keep a longer time will not rot, on this basis, air-drying, exposure to the sun is a good way to store food, otherwise not only the fishy smell will be heavier, and the meat quality will be deteriorated.

  "There are so many, how long will it take to bleed them out one by one?"

  Hoffman said in annoyance.

  "Bloodletting?"

  At the mention of bloodletting, Carlos was instantly energized!

  This is a great opportunity, with so many magical beasts, bloodline points can be added so much more!

  "I'm familiar with this, leave it to me, you're all tired go rest first, I'll handle it!"

  Carlos took on this seemingly boring and tiresome chore in a big way, but in reality Carlos was already happy in his heart.

  Hoffman hadn't wanted to do this kind of delicate work, and since Carlos had taken the initiative to ask for it, Hoffman had naturally just let it go.

  Carlos very enthusiastically took over the job of bloodletting, the rest of the crowd was resting at the moment, and Hoffman, who had nothing better to do, ran off into the forest to look for honey!

  Carlos took over and, without moving, extended his tail spikes to stab into each of the flesh and blood, which had been filled to the brim and dried up at a rate visible to the naked eye.

  These were also all low-ranked magical beasts, and Carlos absorbed them very quickly, and the piles of magical beast blood and flesh were quickly filtered through by Carlos.

  "A little too little, these magical beasts don't have much quality, it looks like we need to go a little deeper to get there!"

  Carlos quickly absorbed all of them and checked the bloodline points and found that they had only gone up by less than a thousand, or just over nine hundred, and Carlos needed one hundred thousand bloodline points to advance to the sixth rank!

  This less than a thousand is really too little, to say that it is a drop in the bucket is a bit insufficient, even a cup is not enough to hunt high level magical beasts, Carlos also secretly decided to push deeper.

  "Yikes!

  Ah!

  Just as Carlos was about to revitalize and push deeper into the Sunset Mountains, Hoffman's mournful screams came from the distance.

  "Hoffman what happened to you?"

  Shelia cried out anxiously.

  "Ahhh!

  There was no response from Hoffman other than a miserable howl.

  "I don't know what kind of danger I've encountered, maybe some high level magical beast!

  I'll check it out!"

  Carlos picked up a magical cannon and ran after the sound.

  On one hand, he was worried about Hoffman's safety, and on the other hand, Carlos guessed that maybe Hoffman had met some other high-ranking magical beasts when he went to look for honey.

  For Carlos, who was now incredibly thirsty for bloodline points, there was nothing more exciting to Carlos than a high-ranked magical beast!

  Carlos raced over, followed by Shelia and Avril, neither of whom wanted anything to happen to Hoffman.

  "Ah!

  Ahhh!

  !"

  Hoffman's voice was getting closer and closer, and this agonizing emotion was becoming clearer and clearer.

  Finally the crowd arrived in front of Hoffman, the imagined high level magical beasts didn't appear, what met their eyes was Hoffman floating in mid-air.

  It seemed to be enveloped by some strange force field, floating and reverberating in mid-air.

  A multicolored light constantly surfaced around Hoffman's body, the colors being gold, green, blue, red, and yellow!

  It was as if it was these colorful glows that caused Hoffman to let out that mournful scream.

  Carlos was the first to rush out and try to save Hoffman, but just as Carlos lunged at Hoffman to try to pull him down, Carlos was also locked in a strange stance and floated.

  The same five-colored glow lingered all over Carlos' body, and Carlos felt the pain.

  I don't know if it's because of his ability to bear it or what, but Carlos felt that the pain wasn't as intense as Hoffman's shouts, and immediately after that the five-colored light around Carlos' body was only left in yellow.

  "Holy shit!

  Ah!

  Carlos's screams, even more mournful than Hoffman's, resounded through the forest, startling countless birds of prey!
