"Yeah, I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly. Being able to take down so many giant creatures... looks like we won’t be troubled by this for a while."
Lin Yue checked the Super Alloy Flying Armor. Apart from being slightly overheated, it was fine.
After replenishing the weapon and ammunition compartnts, Lin Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Bai, what about them? Those Horned Monsters."
"Master, they are already under Xiaong’s supervision, moving this way," Bai replied.
Lin Yue nodded, decided after so searching nearby to place the city-state for these Horned Monsters three kiloters west of the Petroleum River Base, near the original Doomsday Bunker.
"Master, Bai thinks it can go to the Wolf-headed Man’s Gate of Exploration now, right?" Bai seed quite eager.
Lin Yue understood well that Bai wanted to strengthen its power quickly and bring the Wolf-headed Man’s forces into his fold.
"Bai, eat these first and put on the Combat Suit. Plus, take Xiaoli and Green Claw with you for convenience in your actions."
Lin Yue thought he couldn’t make it over there himself right now; once the Horned Monsters arrive, he would have to go back to the Shelter to designate the Ancient Secret Realm Gate and move everything inside back.
Moreover, the seven Platinum Treasure Chests need to be opened soon.
Lin Yue handed several slabs of Lion-headed Bear at to Bai, and as it finished eating, he suddenly rembered sothing.
"Wait a mont and rest. When the Horned Monsters co, I’ll need you to help convey so words to them."
"Understood, master. Bai will take care of it. Bai will go rest for a while," Bai said, moving to the side, and Lin Yue handed it a large sheepskin mat, which it imdiately snuggled into for sleep.
Watching Bai sleep peacefully, Lin Yue felt much more at ease.
But, if there were more helpers...
Maybe it could be more convenient in the future.
Hopefully, these Horned Monsters can be of use.
Next...
Before the Horned Monsters arrived, Lin Yue first took out various petroleum-related products produced from the Petroleum River Sub-Base and put them into his Storage Space, then took out his System Tablet and opened the store.
Using so petroleum products, he exchanged a considerable amount of stone and imdiately marked out a city wall with four sides, each two kiloters long.
After setting up the city gate, Lin Yue used so canned goods and foodstuff from the Storage Space and acquired quite a bit of wood.
Wood was virtually useless now.
Almost all Survivors’ Refugee Villages were enclosed by stone walls, with buildings inside made mostly of stone, iron, tal, or even alloy, seldom using wood.
In the world of advanced trade channels, the specifications of shelters were sowhat standardized.
Reinforced concrete wasn’t sothing Lin Yue had seen; even if it existed, it wasn’t popular.
Wooden structures...
At best, made them earthquake-resistant, but after this disaster, what good is earthquake resistance?
Therefore, after obtaining tens of thousands of units of wood, Lin Yue began to build forty large wooden shelters.
These large wooden shelters could accommodate dozens to hundreds of Horned Monsters each; these forty shelters should be enough for thousands or even tens of thousands of Horned Monsters.
However, Lin Yue’s plan was to manage a thousand of them for now and deal with the rest later.
If these thousand are too problematic, there’s no need to bring the others over.
But if they’re capable, then this effort won’t be in vain.
After completing these, Lin Yue reprogramd the machine dogs, which imdiately began collecting the scattered Lizardman corpses.
Once the Lizardman corpses were fully gathered, Lin Yue saw Xiaong leading the Horned Monsters and accompanying a hundred Little Ice Lizards and Redline.
"Roar!" Xiaong nodded at Lin Yue, indicating that the task was successfully completed.
"Well done, little one." Lin Yue took out a large pile of food for the youngsters, but upon seeing the Horned Monsters, he noticed their gaze fixed on the corpse of a giant creature in the distance, their expressions quite shocked.
Just then, Bai flew over; it had long detected the scent of the Horned Monsters.
"Bai, what are they saying? I need you to translate."
"Master, the Divine Horn Race is quite shocked, saying they don’t understand why these Disaster Beasts are lying dead on the ground," Bai yawned, still half-asleep.
"Oh, I took them down, what’s the mystery? Bai, are you sure they call those giant creatures ’Disaster Beasts’?"
Lin Yue was quite surprised by this.
It seems the Horned Monsters recognize the giant creatures?
After Bai communicated with the Horned Monsters, Lin Yue witnessed them collectively roaring, worshipping and venerating him in their unique way.
"Master, they’re quite noisy," Bai said helplessly, "they’re amazed by everything. But according to the two-horned one from the Divine Horn Race, these giant creatures were seen in their area before, but they couldn’t defeat them, so they couldn’t build hos on the surface, only digging caves underground or between cliffs to hide."
"So, that’s why they’re called Disaster Beasts?" Lin Yue still didn’t quite understand the origin of Disaster Beasts, but he understood why the Horned Monsters couldn’t defeat the giant creatures.
"Master, they say the Disaster Beasts bring disaster wherever they go, but once they’re slain, the disaster disappears. However, only gods can kill the Disaster Beasts. In the Divine Horn Race’s mythology, an almighty god who transported their ancestors from their holand to here, donned in armor that covered his entire body, summoned storms and lightning to obliterate anything that dared to challenge him. And this god created everything, the Disaster Beasts were crafted by him to punish those who disobeyed his orders." Bai finished speaking and took a deep breath.
Bai looked at the master, noticing him deep in thought.
Bai understood that this surely warranted consideration.
The Wolf-headed n also referred to Lin Yue as "god", and this "god" was said to have worn full-body armor and created everything.
The myths of the Wolf-headed n and Divine Horn Race intertwined, perhaps this was what the master was pondering.
Lin Yue contemplated for a while, then lifted his head.
"Bai, it’s becoming clearer," he said, looking at the Divine Horn Race. "I used to wonder if these bizarre races were like those special or giant creatures, all ’created’, but now it’s clear they’re not. The Horned Monsters and Wolf-headed n were abducted from their original planets, just like humans. And the so-called god... is likely the creators behind all this, maybe sent out their robots or sothing, haha."
Lin Yue said, turning to Bai, hoping Bai would suggest so more intriguing ideas.
After all, a single person’s thoughts tend to be more one-sided than two people’s.
"Master, Bai thinks if that’s the case, there should be more than just these two races, right?"
"Of course, I’ve heard of sothing like Cat-headed n or Kobolds, but haven’t seen what they’re like." Lin Yue recalled discussions on the world channel by Survivors about their experiences in the Gate of Exploration.
Gate of Exploration connected humans and other races’ territories after a long separation.
But it also alerted humanity to the existence of various intelligent beings beyond themselves.
These intelligent beings were not friendly.
The deference shown by Wolf-headed n and Horned Monsters was due to Lin Yue’s power here.
Initially, when he approached the Wolf-headed n, didn’t they relentlessly pursue him and Bai with continuous attacks?
"Master, maybe we’ll have much to do in the future." Bai suddenly realized its imnsely important role in Lin Yue’s plan.
"Indeed, the road stretches far ahead..."
Lin Yue glanced at the Horned Monsters, knowing that challenges might just be starting.
