Chapter 135 Plague and Body Odor
The original design also included a watchtower.

Because of the height of the inverted pyramid, the watchtower has penetrated the treetops and reached above the forest.

In this way, the watchtower can no longer observe the situation on the ground in the distance, but instead observes the sky.

A simple mechanism was set up on the watchtower. As long as the people above found a tide of beasts attacking from the sky, they could press the baffle, and the wooden boards under their feet would be pulled away. Then the people would quickly descend three or four meters, successfully reaching the surface of the inverted pyramid and informing the people below about the tide of beasts attacking from the sky.

Without getting any good advice from Li and Jiang, Liu Xun came up with his own crude idea.

He asked some nimble savages to nail some small wooden houses on the sides of the inverted pyramid. These wooden houses were much smaller than normal ones and could only accommodate one person.

It is envisioned that if a tide of beasts appears in the sky, after being warned by the sentinels, everyone will descend into these cabins to take shelter.

Because the cabin was nailed to the inverted pyramid from the back, Liu Xun was worried that it was not stable, but the carpenter repeatedly assured him that the nailed wooden rafters would fit perfectly into some square wooden holes on the side of the inverted pyramid. Based on his experience, the carpenter felt that the wooden rafters hanging the cabin would distribute the weight to the inverted pyramid, so there would be no danger of falling.

It's not that they hadn't thought about hollowing out the space inside the inverted pyramid in advance, but in that case it would be difficult to withstand the impact of the beast tide from the ground.

The finally completed camp was like a beehive, with many wooden houses hanging on the side. These houses were shielded by the top of the inverted pyramid. If a ferocious bird came down from the sky, it would have to bypass the flat roof and peck to kill the people in the wooden houses.

But there was no foothold in the air, and those ferocious birds would certainly not be able to hold on for too long. Taking this opportunity, the wild people in the wooden house poked and killed them with spears, which not only ensured their own safety but also solved the problem of the beast tide in the air.

The only thing to worry about is that there may be ferocious beasts appearing in the beast tide from the sky.

It is difficult for untrained people to cause harm to the ferocious beasts.

However, Liu Xun only had this thought briefly and did not think about it any further, because the Wu Miao would not arrange a situation in which they were sure to die.

Just like the mutual promotion and mutual restraint in the third wave of beast tide, there should be some ways to resolve the danger.

A spear thrower was placed on the platform. Originally, it was of little use in the mountains and forests, but after the surrounding trees were cleared away, a large and wide field of vision was created, and the spear thrower could be used somewhat again. However, it could only be used to deal with the tide of beasts on the ground.

Liu Xun couldn't possibly leave the wild people behind to operate the spear throwers to deal with the ferocious birds in the sky, as that would only result in the loss of the wild people in vain.

"I hope it's a tide of beasts from the ground!" Liu Xun sat upright on the high platform of the inverted pyramid, closing his eyes to rest.

If it is a tide of beasts from the sky, it would be much more difficult to resist.

All the old and weak wild people entered the wooden houses on the side of the inverted pyramid. They were covered by layers of wooden stakes and located inside. The beasts on the ground could not jump up and hit them, and the ferocious birds in the sky could not attack them either. It was relatively safe.

The wooden houses reserved for the young and strong wild people are on the periphery. Once they really encounter ferocious birds, they will descend from the side of the platform into the wooden houses and use spears to resist the ferocious birds.

The fourth wave of beasts is coming soon.

Fortunately, it was a tide of beasts on the ground!

This time, there was also a wave of ferocious beasts. Compared with the third wave, this wave of beasts was much simpler, and there were no two ferocious beasts that counteracted each other.

I think some challengers will suffer great losses in the fourth wave of beasts!
However, Liu Xun saw a clue from it.

"The Book of Famine·The Volume of Evil": [Sheep Plague] It looks like a sheep but without a mouth, is strong and good at sniffing, does not eat or drink, and must not be killed!
There are always some strange beasts in the wilderness, with amazing abilities. Some ferocious beasts even have very unique abilities, and their weirdness is comparable to that of weaker disaster beasts.

Sheep plague is one of them. This ferocious beast roams in groups. The so-called "cannot be killed" does not mean that it is unlucky to kill it like auspicious beasts, but that it cannot be killed by ordinary means.

Sheep have no mouths, so they can survive without food or water from birth. They have strong vitality, and even if their heads are cut off, they can still reattach their heads with their feet and be alive and well again after a while.

This ferocious beast seems to be immortal, but everything has a limit and there is no such thing as true immortality.

The reason why you can’t kill him is that you haven’t found the right method.

In his previous life, Liu Xun captured some sheep. After collecting and analyzing them in the Wilderness Sutra, he learned about the sheep's weaknesses.

The method of restraint is to be "good at smelling".

Because they have no mouths, sheep are extremely sensitive to smells. They will chase the smell of humans and attack them wantonly. Since they do not need food, they do it purely for fun, so they are classified as vicious beasts.

But there is one type of person that the sheep will never harm.

Those are people with body odor!

Funny enough, sheep can smell more detailed odors. If they encounter people with body odor, they will stay away from them. This is why people with body odor often survive the hands of sheep in the mountains.

Liu Xun had seen a lot of body odor before he traveled through time, but he had rarely encountered it in the Great Wilderness. It seemed to be extremely rare.

If we talk about plague, body odor should be considered a kind of plague, but there are not many plague immortals who practice this method.

Because body odor can only cause trouble to people, but it cannot be fatal.

There are no people with body odor among the wild people under Liu Xun's command. If there are, he only needs to send them out and the sheep will leave on their own.

However, the Wu Miao will not stay in a situation where they are doomed to die.

Given the scarcity of people with body odor, the solution to this wave of beasts is hidden in the third wave.

After people eat the meat of the vicious beast, the eared rat, they can get rid of body odor, which is the so-called "eating without absorption".

All things in the world grow and develop together. Since ear rat meat can remove body odor, it can naturally also cause body odor in another way. It’s just that no one uses it.

If there is an adventurer who does not want to waste any animal materials, he will find clues on the eared mice he picked up.

In the third wave of beasts, although the ear mice were able to restrain the elephant hunters, the elephant hunters were also ferocious. They killed some ear mice during the encounter, but the number was not large.

After the beast tide disperses, the corpses of the eared mice that are picked up will ferment with the elephant hunting toxin that has soaked into their flesh, producing a smell that is exactly like body odor.

This smell is slightly weaker than real body odor. It won’t reach the level of disgust for humans, but sheep can’t stand it.

As long as we throw away the bodies of the eared mice killed by the elephants, the sheep crisis will be solved immediately!
In this wave of beasts, the Wu Miao are tested on how to deal with the spoils.

The development of Yuncheng cannot be separated from careful planning. Every spoils of war should be used reasonably. Who knows, it may save your life someday.

Even if the meat of the eared mouse, which emits a body odor, is not eaten, the fur can be peeled off and used to repel mosquitoes.

Currently, almost all the adventurers are placed in mountain and forest environments. If you pay a little attention, you will find that the eared mice that died at the hands of elephant hunters can repel mosquitoes.

Wu Miao has left enough clues for everyone, and whether you can find them depends entirely on yourself.

Most of the challengers who could hold out until this wave of beasts discovered this obvious side clue.

When the sheep smelled the body odor of the fur of the middle-eared mice in the camp, they avoided the camp on their own and left without looking back.

Only a few people were not careful, or changed camps in a hurry, leaving the dead bodies of ear mice behind, and were eventually flattened by the sheep plague and eliminated.

Liu Xun heard the screams coming from the distant mountains and forests and couldn't help but shook his head.

Dou Fang estimated that he could not stop the tide of beasts formed by the gathering of sheep.

Liu Xun ordered his men to throw the stored ear mouse fur down. The sheep below smelled the scent, turned around to avoid the inverted pyramid, and ran away.

Liu Xun naturally would not give up any spoils of war. He would even use the bones, and the fur of the eared mouse that could be used to make fur coats would definitely not be wasted.

I didn't expect it to be used in the fourth wave of beast tide.
