Chapter Thirty-Four: Conjecture and the Source of Medicine

  Liu Yu read in the books about beastmen that the cannibal demons were a widely distributed race on the Kordia Plateau, with tribes existing in the south, west and north of the Beastman Kingdom. Therefore, the population of the cannibal demon tribe was absolutely not small. Moreover, there was little difference between male and female cannibal demons, and it was common for women to have stronger bodies than men. Whenever a battle occurred, both men and women would take to the field together, allowing each tribe to extract more troops from their limited population.

  Liu Yu estimated that if he could subdue three to four hundred tribes of man-eating demons, he would be able to form an army of one million people. With the demons' extraordinary fighting power, plus reorganization, training, and equipping them with iron weapons, this army of one million demons would be a force not to be underestimated on the battlefields of the Beastman Kingdom and Fanoed.

  However, this idea also has great difficulties. The Mongols want to conquer the cannibal demons by force, which will inevitably lead to a blood feud between the two tribes; Moreover, there are language barriers and different customs. It is simply wishful thinking to expect the cannibal demons to truly devote themselves to the beast tribe.

  It's good that today this cannibal tribe produced a Dou Huang to point out a way for Liu Yu. Generally, the cannibal tribes on the highlands have at most a Dou Wang, and many tribal leaders are only mid-tier fighters of five or six stages, their actual strength is not strong, which is also one of the reasons why the beast tribe looked down on the cannibals before.

  And the strength of this Cannibal Demon King would be an extremely powerful existence in any Cannibal Demon tribe. Liu Yu thought that if he could control this Demon King, let him lead his own tribe, and with the support of the Bi Mong tribe, sweeping through half of the highlands' Cannibal Demon tribes wouldn't be a problem. This way, it would form a strong, unified Cannibal Demon race similar to the Wolfman and Centaur races.

  At worst, the kingdom would give the goblins and werewolves, centaurs the same status as the beastmen, and grant them a large amount of land, which would be another ethnic group in the Beastmen Kingdom.

  This is the reason why Liu Yu kept this cannibalistic demon king, he will be the breakthrough to conquer the entire tribe of cannibal demons.

  Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement in his heart, as he had been worried about the kingdom being suppressed by Fanoed on the Kordia Plateau for some time. Now, he finally saw a glimmer of hope to break through the situation, which greatly improved his mood. As for this plan, the cannibal tribe was calculated by him, and his own people fought for half a day and still had to sacrifice themselves for the beast tribe.

  "When did I become so sinister." Liu Yu smiled freely and walked towards a corner of the square.

  The warriors of Bimon on the square had settled down to rest after dealing with the cannibalistic prisoners, and those who were not on patrol duty were preparing for sleep. In one corner, several young men were chatting and laughing as they cleaned up the ground to lie down, when a young man in black clothes, Huang Jin Bimon, walked over with big strides from afar. The few young Bimons who had been chatting and laughing immediately fell silent, looking at this young Bimon.

  As the black-clad Bimon approached, all the other Biomons stood up except for one young Bimon in the middle. Their eyes gazed at this Bimon with a hint of strangeness. However, the black-clad young Bimon seemed oblivious and stood before the seated young Bimon in the middle.

  "Thanks for what happened today, I'll remember this favor." The standing youth spoke up before Mong, and he was naturally Liu Yu who came to thank Bu Gan Ning for saving his life. The seated one was Bu Gan Ning, while the surrounding youths including Mong were sons of the Suo Er family or affiliated families close to the Suo Er family.

  "It's nothing, I'm just doing my duty as a warrior." Bu Gan Ning replied with a cold expression, clearly he didn't care about Liu Yu's gratitude.

  "Haha, I understand this, but thanks anyway, I'll return you the favor." Liu Yu smiled and replied with a nonchalant attitude before turning around to leave, Bu Ganing's attitude was already within his expectations.

  The young master of the Wan family was indeed extraordinary, and Liu Yu himself suspected that if he were to switch places with Bu Ganning. Thinking of Kayne and Gaia's intense competition, plus the struggle between the Weilin and Sauber families, would he immediately take action to rescue him? So Bu Ganning's move not only won Liu Yu's gratitude but also stimulated Liu Yu to reflect on whether he was too ruthless.

  Liu Yu was not a saint in his past life, and he naturally considered his own interests first in everything. In this life, he was infected with family interests, struggles, and other things, and for a long time, his heart only had calculations and struggles. He actually lost his bottom line by just one step.

  "As a human being, one must 'have something to do and something not to do'. In the future, a soldier's responsibility should still be separated from family struggles. After fulfilling my responsibilities, I will then deal with them." This sentence, which Liu Yu liked very much in his previous life, helped him understand the relationship between responsibility and personal grievances, and thinking of this, Liu Yu also felt a sense of openness in his heart.

  "It's probably this kind of feeling to have a broad and open mind."

  For the next eight days, the Bimon army stayed in the cave of the cannibal tribe, which had been operating for many years and still had a lot of stored food. In addition, when the Bimon army arrived, they all brought a lot of dry rations, and a few hundred mouse people's logistics team arrived after them with a large amount of food, so neither the Bimon army nor the cannibal captives were short of food.

  On the fourth day, Ptolemy finally came out of his coma and by the eighth day he was able to walk with the help of a litter carried by four stalwart soldiers. With several more men to attend to him, they set off on the road, while the rest of the army began marching eastward with their prisoners.

  Originally, Cro King sent a powerful formation of two Dou Huangs from the Reinforced Regiment to clear out all forces in the Decca Mountains that might hinder the development of the Beast Tribe, including not only the Man-Eating Demon Tribes but also higher-tiered magical beasts and even higher-ranked magical beast groups.

  This cannibal tribe was formed by absorbing all the cannibal tribes in the Desa Mountains, and this battle is equivalent to eradicating all the cannibals in the Desa Mountains. As for the high-ranking magic beasts and beast groups, Tolemy had told Liu Yu that there were also several high-ranking magic beasts in the Desa Mountains, including two powerful eighth-rank magic beasts that he didn't dare provoke. There are also some fifth- and sixth-rank beast groups whose strength cannot be underestimated. Now that Tolemy's injuries have not healed, it is impossible for him to go and eliminate these high-ranking magic beasts and beast groups again, especially since the Mongolian army is still holding a large number of captives.

  Liu Yu estimated that the kingdom would need to send more strong reinforcements before they could thoroughly clean up the De Sa mountain range and let it completely fall under the control of the beast tribe.

  The army of Bimon, carrying a large number of cannibals, slowed down significantly. On the way here, it only took nine days, but on the return trip, it took twenty or thirty days. During this period, Ptolemy's injuries had mostly healed, and he also dispelled Liu Yu's doubts about what that bottle of red medicine was.

  On the mainland, there are three systems of magic that have healing effects: Light System, Water System, and Life System. Other systems of magic do not have healing effects. Among them, Life System magic is not elemental magic, but rather a special kind of racial magic that can be understood by certain races, such as the Elf race, which has a high affinity for understanding Life System magic.

  Those miraculous potions are made by three-system mages using relevant healing magic and potion materials, the higher the potion, the higher the requirement for the mage's strength.

  In the Beastman Kingdom, both the Earth and Fire attributes are more common than the Mongolians. No one can make those high-level potions. The Wolfmen and Centaurs have one with Wind attribute as main and one with Earth attribute as main, only a small number of people will be other attributes, generally innate talent is not high and it's hard to achieve great success.

  However, among the small vassal tribes within the kingdom, the Fox Tribe and Rabbit Tribe are particularly special. The people of these two tribes have all sorts of attributes, and from time to time, they can produce a few light-attribute or water-attribute magicians. Some of them even have quite good talent, and these fox people and rabbit people will be specially cultivated by the kingdom, and after becoming mid-tier magicians, they will receive the title of "Shaman", which is a term of respect used by the beast tribes to refer to magicians who possess healing abilities.

  The red potion in Liu Yu's hand was Priest, a genius light system seventh-level magic conductor of the rabbit tribe seventy years ago. He exhausted his life to create a holy medicine that treats internal injuries using the blood of a ninth-level magic beast. With the innate abilities of the fox and rabbit tribes being inferior to those of humans, Priest had already become one of the few geniuses in several hundred years who could advance to the level of a magic conductor.

  Such a sacred medicine was also made by him at that time, only a few dozen bottles were produced, and they were all divided among the three major families of Weilin, Dila, and Suobo. After his death, the Fox and Rabbit tribes never produced such a genius again, making this medicine even more precious.

  So Ptolemy was extremely moved when he knew that Liu Yu had saved him with this medicine, and he almost cried tears of gratitude. Liu Yu, on the other hand, didn't feel much, as things like "Light Magic" were too far away from him, and since everything had already been used, there was no use thinking about it anymore, so he just smiled and that was the end of it.

  After a difficult journey of over 20 days, the Blood Camp reappeared before Liu Yu's eyes.
