Chapter 191: Keeping A Dog (1/2)

There were three damaged beastmen camps amid the peaks. The camps were crude, about a dozen huts, with a large pot hung in the middle. The fire under it had been extinguished long ago. The soup in the pot was cold, and revealed a row of white ribs with flesh. I couldn’t tell whether they originally belonged to an animal or human. Both were possible.

I was slightly excited and rubbed my hands. ”I've never seen what beastmen in Heavenblessed looked like. I am very excited...”

Clear Perfume said, ”Green skin, thick and crude with fangs, like a barbarian!”

I nodded and smiled, saying, ”Qingqing, do you know? The barbarians are actually the product of reproduction between beastmen and humans. Mutations across generations caused beastmen traits to fade away, eventually letting them live among humans. However, each barbarian has a hidden instinct. If they encounter danger, it will stimulate their hidden beastly nature. Then, their Attack, Defense, and HP will multiply and become unstoppable!”

Lin Yixin glanced at me, the corners of her mouth rising. She said with a smile, ”Don't speak nonsense. I've only seen your beastly nature...”

”When did I show my beastly nature?”

”You killed your trainer. Isn’t that beastly?”

”WTF. But you helped that time...”

”I was just helping the tyrant. I didn’t eat or sleep well in the days after.”

”...”

Just as we were discussing when the barbarian players in Floating Ice City would expose their beastly nature, we reached the fourth beastman camp.

In the distance, smoke rose into the sky as beastly howls sounded in the valley.

Everyone hid in the bushes and looked closely into the distance, preparing our attack strategy.

”Fuck, they keep dogs?”

I turned and asked. I found Lin Yixin's face clearly in front of me. She was looking behind me. When I turned around, our faces were closer than 10 centimeters apart!

I’d never observed this bright-eyed beauty at such a close distance so I couldn't help but take another look. I swallowed my saliva.

Lin Yixin was both amused and exasperated. She kicked me and said, ”You’re still looking?”

”Yes, they keep dogs. Everyone, prepare to throw meat buns...” I was speaking nonsense.

Lin Yixin gritted her teeth. ”What dogs? Those are the werewolves among the beastmen. Look closely. Do your eyes see anything clearly except women?”

I looked and indeed, it was a werewolf!

Covered in fur all over, he had a wolf's head and a human's body. He wore crude armor, and held an enormous black blade. It looked like a chopping saber. The wolf head was snarling, and the fangs dripped with saliva. Its brown eyes betrayed its hunger for flesh.

I sighed in shock. ”These werewolves are so handsome...”

”Damn...!”

Ignoring my ranting, Lin Yixin pointed at the other side and said with a smile, ”Lu Chen, look, werewolves are nothing. There are porcupine beastmen there!”

”?”

I looked over and found several human-porcupine hybrids in the grass, using tree branches to pick their teeth. Their heads looked like pig’s, but with many spikes protruding outward. It must have been really hard to live with such a head. A sin to live really!

Clear Perfume laughed. ”There’s more over there! Snake people in the east!”

Accompanied by hissing sounds, several slender figures appeared. These were snakemen. They all had four limbs, two hands holding a spear, as they slithered to move. They were covered in scales. Their heads were scary, neither that of human, nor snake. They were constantly flicking their tongues.

Lin Yixin pressed her lips together and thought for a moment. ”They are all Level 72 elite monsters. Everyone, be careful. Werewolves have high attack speed but low Defense. Porcupines have strong Attack and Defense, but are slow all across the board. Snakemen have high miss rate.”

I looked at her. ”You seem to know a lot about beastmen.”

The beauty puffed out her chest like a proud little princess. ”Of course, one has to know their enemy to win!”

Shiing!

Lin Yixin pulled out her sword and said with a smile, ”Prepare to attack. We’ll first take care of the werewolves from the flank and then take care of the porcupines, leaving snakemen for the end. In short, divide and conquer!”

”Okay!”

Lin Yixin was a natural leader. Other than the motivation of being a beauty, she had her unique strategic understanding that was enviable.

……

I went forward with my longsword and said, ”Lure ten monsters at a time. We can deal with them faster then!”

”You tired of living or something?” Lin Yixin asked.
