Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 70 A Glimmer of Hope (Bonus Chapter for Votes)

Si Shuo rested his forehead on his hand. "Ji Liang, how many orcs possess the ability to teleport at specific points? What are the limitations on their use of their abilities?"

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow: "Time-based teleportation is a spatial ability, and there aren't many of them. You could compare their numbers to those of the Holy Mother. Little Shuo Shuo wants the orcs using time-based teleportation to call for reinforcements?"

The distance they can teleport, the number of people they can teleport simultaneously, and the number of teleports they can make are related to their ability level.

Zhile said in a deep voice, "If the flesh, bones, and crystals of the ferocious beasts are usable, then powerful and daring orcs might risk harvesting them. But the berserk beasts are of no use."

As long as the beast tide hasn't reached the tribe's doorstep, beastmen from other tribes rarely participate.

Moreover, Puchang City is quite large, with a considerable number of orcs. They don't think they can't hold it; at most, they'll suffer heavy losses.

Si Shuo couldn't help but ask, "If they encounter a beast tide, won't the beastmen just rush in to fight it?"

"Earth-type orcs create special terrain to disperse the ferocious beasts in the horde. Wood and fire-type abilities are used for burning, water and earth-type abilities are used to dig pits and fill them with water, and metal-type abilities release golden needles..." Xu Chi explained the methods he had seen orcs use to resist the horde. "Combined with orcs transforming and engaging them in close combat, small-scale hordes can be largely neutralized, medium-scale hordes risk annihilation, and large-scale hordes are simply unbearable!"

He calmed his restless heart. "This time, the scale is at least medium to large."

The other beastmen nodded in agreement. They were incredibly strong; they were confident they could survive even against multiple opponents, or even a pack of wolves.

However, the scale of the beast tide was so terrifying that it sent chills down one's spine, and the orcs called it the wrath and punishment of the beast god.

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 built trenches when they fought, and there was more than one trench. They fought and retreated, gradually wearing down the enemy's strength.

With her eyes slightly lowered, she called out to the system: "System, will you take in the berserk beasts? Can you sort out the chaotic and mixed energy of the crystals? This is a critical moment concerning the life and death of your host, your beast husband, and your future offspring. You can apply for official leniency!"

After a brief silence, the system came online: "Host, your request has been conveyed and a reply has been received. The Puchang City Beast Tide dungeon quest has been activated for you and sent to your quest log. Please check it."

Si Shuo... What time is it? Are you still doing a mission?

She opened the taskbar and, sure enough, saw a new task. Clicking on it revealed a long background introduction, which was similar to what the beastmen had analyzed for her.

任务目标：1、击杀100只十二级凶兽（随机掉落至尊级别皮肉筋骨和晶石）；2、击杀1000只十级凶兽（随机掉了极品皮肉筋骨和晶石）；3、击杀10000只八级凶兽（……上品……）；4、击杀100000只六级凶兽（……中品……）；5、击杀1000000只四级凶兽（……下品……）；6、击杀四级以下凶兽（无品）

Task Rewards and Instructions: In the monster-slaying dungeons led by the host, randomly dropped items are at the host's discretion and temporarily stored in the transit storage. Each time a major task is completed, the threat to the orcs' survival decreases, and you will receive additional generous rewards. The survival of the orcs of the Southern Continent is the responsibility of every orc; host, please do your best!

Si Shuo felt a little dizzy looking at the string of zeros. Not to mention high-level ferocious beasts, just one million berserk level four ferocious beasts was enough to shock people. Moreover, there must be ferocious beasts below level four in the beast tide, and their numbers must be considerable.

Since the system has given her a task, the actual number of ferocious beasts in the beast tide is no less than that!

She asked tremblingly, "How many orcs are there in Puchang City?"

Ji Liang narrowed his golden eyes and hissed, "Little Shuo Shuo, I came here before I came looking for you. I just heard the statistics. Not counting the females and cubs, there are about 150,000 resident beastmen. Now that the weather is warm, many females are bringing their beastmen to Puchang City for fun, and some want to hitch a ride with a merchant caravan or a caravan in the city to go to the Central Continent."

The combat strength is no more than 180,000, and even including the males from outside the region, the number of awakened beings is less than 90,000!

Si Shuo counted on his fingers, realizing that each beastman would need to fight two or three hundred to have a chance of winning. After all, not all the ferocious beasts had awakened superpowers.

However, there are two pieces of good news. 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 in place, even the most elusive beasts can drop usable items upon defeat. As long as there's profit to be made, she can summon more high-level beastmen to support Puchang City!

She thought for a moment, then smiled and said to them, "I just made contact with the Beast God. He promised that he would purify the ferocious beasts we kill into usable hides, flesh, bones, and crystals, which I will then distribute among us."

Several males shuddered, and joy appeared on their faces.

"Hiss, since we can use the hides, flesh, bones, and crystals of the berserk beasts, we can treat the beast tide as a large-scale hunting event in the Southern Continent!"

"When I was investigating the beast tide, I hunted down some ferocious beasts. As long as everyone can see that the berserk beasts can be purified, I won't have to worry about finding high-level orcs to take the risk..."

Si Shuo nodded, took out a pen and paper, leaned over the table, and started drawing for them while saying:

"We should gather as many orcs as possible who are scouting the teleportation points, and take precautions as soon as possible to sense the beast tide and teleport the females and cubs away."

Scout out a location a day before the beast tide arrives outside the city and set up the first line of defense... Set up the second line of defense half a day later... Set up the third line of defense outside the city...

We need to plan our retreat route carefully, scout out several points in advance, and set up defensive lines. We don't necessarily have to treat Puchang City as the last line of defense... We'll wear them down slowly, even if it means slowly whittling them down!"

Hearing her words, the males' conventional thinking about dealing with the beast tide was shattered. They were filled with excitement, listened patiently to her words, and discussed and added many details.

Si Shuo couldn't stay at home either, so he and the beastmen found Xu Lie and talked to the city lord Shi Fu, a level twelve elephant beastman.

Shi Fu was unlike any of the beastmen Si Shuo had ever met. He was a plump, wealthy man with a friendly smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. Apart from showing some respect to Xu Lie, he barely lifted his eyelids when facing Si Shuo and his group.

Caught in the middle, Xu Lie was somewhat at a loss. After introducing the two sides, he respectfully said, "Lord Shi Fu, the Holy Female Si Shuo is favored by the Beast God. The Beast God used her to inform us of the approaching beast tide and that she can purify the berserk beasts, leaving a glimmer of hope for Puchang City. This doesn't seem like a baseless claim."
