Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 63: Three Beasts Attack
Four days passed quickly, and Fengyu entered the village once in that time, on the third day.
He looked around the village and saw no one panicking, which made him feel relaxed.
If there was no prior information about it, then he was likely safe.
In the end, he went to the shop and bought two talismans in preparation, which was a bit less than how many a person had on average. They were two mid-grade talismans.
After buying them, he quickly returned to the shack.
These days, he slept in a prepared room in the shack, unwilling to leave his ducks alone in danger.
On this day, when the sun was low and the world was about to enter the night...
"ROAAAARR!" A roar broke through the air, even causing Fengyu’s hair to rise!
He was shocked and looked over to its origin—
From afar, he could faintly see the aura of a feline beast, charging alone straight at the village!
Just then, he heard a familiar sound—"GRUGHHHHH!"
The earth boar’s grunting was followed by a stomping sound. It was far away, so Fengyu could only make out a large body of earth.
As expected, when he looked up front, he heard another loud bestial sound—
"AWOOOOOO!" A howling seemed to gain the attention of the moon.
"A wolf pack," Fengyu realised who his enemy would be, sweat forming on his forehead.
Among all grouped beasts, a wolf pack was one of the most dangerous!
It was strong and fast, with superb coordination. Each wolf could contend with a single strong beast of their rank, while a whole pack could kill an enemy beyond their stage!
He looked solemnly at Zimu, Silver Feather, and Spring Rain.
"Our enemy this time... is very dangerous. Silver Feather, you go to the twins’ field and protect it. Their field directly borders the entrance, which seems to be attacked by the feline beast. Several accompanying beasts should attack it.
Spring Rain, just like we said, control the formation to protect against the incoming beasts. Create an artificial weak point where we put most of our barricades and allow the beasts to breach there, and finally close the formation behind them after the weaker beasts enter.
The beast pack won’t enter right away; they will make this cannon fodder waste our energy before engaging with us in a direct fight."
In times of war, everyone followed the emergency plan.
Silver Feather left right away and rushed to the field of the twins, planning to connect with her son and protect the other field against enemies.
Spring Rain nodded solemnly and took the plate into his bill, going out and flying to the top of the shack.
Fengyu and Zimu were the only ones left.
"Quack, let me go with you!" Zimu quacked, unwilling to be left behind again.
"No, I have to fight, and taking care of you here will be difficult.
Anyways, this is our field, and since you haven’t felt unusual movement, then we should be safe for now.
Even if that beast moves around suddenly again, by the time it does, the village will have reacted and sent out more guards to fight the beasts.
Wild beasts rely on instincts and not intelligence, but the instincts of a beast will allow it to assess the danger of people better.
Alright, I told you so much, you know my plan is set.
Just stay here and tell the ducks to keep their heads down, their bills closed, and not to go out no matter what!"
Fengyu made final arrangements before stepping out, not wasting any longer explaining things.
Although he and the twins both guessed the beast would attack his field, since it hadn’t happened yet, they could only wait at the intersection before they made a final choice.
"Senior brother," the twins called out when they saw him.
"As expected, it happened in less than a week." Fengyu nodded, not surprised at the Beast Attack.
"Senior brother has sent Silver Feather to our field already; how high is the chance that senior brother’s field will be targeted?" Ling asked when she thought of Silver Feather, who had come back just now.
"How high... three beasts attack at the same time, in the west, north, and east. There’s a 60% chance the wolf pack attacks my field because I am in the middle among the three eastern fields, there’s a 30% chance it’ll attack the one further to the east, and a 10% chance it’ll attack your field.
If it attacks the one further to the east, I suggest you two return and send Silver Shadow to me. Then I will be able to protect myself for a short time, even if the wolves were to turn in the end." Fengyu said while observing the movement of the beast aura in the distance.
It was approaching them ever so slightly.
But before he saw the wolf beast aura, he saw several smaller beasts enter the open 1,000-step range of the village...
"Earth rats, wood squirrels, and fire rabbits.
They’re all smaller beasts who can be found abundantly in the forest, a very low-grade composition of beasts...
This is the first wave of cannon fodder..."
Just as he said so, he saw a beast in the distance going towards the twins’ field.
It was a large bear with fiery orange fur, its claws gleaming with silver light.
"Senior brother, you’re right. This stronger beast seems to be leading the attack on my field, which means the wolves won’t target our fields. How about we go to yours?"
Fengyu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Worst case, they could still move to their field if the wolves truly changed directions.
He opened the formation for them and allowed them in while observing the small beasts running along the open plain to his own field.
Along the way, he also started casting a spell while observing the moving beasts and counting their numbers...
