Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

The night is getting darker.

After the hunt, the mutated beasts that had been killed were carried back to the camp by the armored rhinoceroses and rock lizards.

Lin Feng was thinking that since the other side had killed so many mutated beasts, the people in their convoy should be able to have a good meal, but the result was quite unexpected.

The mutated beast carcasses that were carried back to the camp were all fed to his tamed beasts. The mutated beast carcasses were torn apart and chewed up in large chunks by the wolf pack and rock lizards.

Meanwhile, the people in his convoy could only watch from afar, squatting on the edge, their eyes fixed on the mutated beasts that were feeding.

No one spoke, as if they were waiting for something.

Only after the Xia Du and his tamed beasts finished eating and left did these people rush up in a swarm, searching for the leftover scraps of meat and bone fragments, even digging out the blood clots that had seeped into the soil.

Someone had just picked up a piece of bone with bits of flesh still attached, but before they could even put it in their pocket, they were knocked to the ground. By the time they got up again, the bone had already been snatched away by someone else.

Those riding on the wolves watched this scene with smiles on their faces.

Even Xia Du didn't try to stop them, as if the people in their convoy had gotten used to it.

Perhaps in Xia Du's mind, these survivors who sought refuge with him were just a burden, or merely accessories.

After witnessing this scene, Lin Feng found Zhao Gao and gave him a few instructions. He quickened his pace as he left, having already planned out how to arrange things.

After seeing him disappear, Lin Feng was already looking forward to the population explosion of Xuanfeng City. As long as he accumulated enough Origin Points for the Human King's Talisman and upgraded his Beast Taming, the feedback Origin Points would be enough to push his level to 6.

Just as Meimei was thinking about it, two figures approached from the left and right.

"My lord, guess what wonderful thing we've come up with this time?"

As soon as Mi Xue ran to Lin Feng's side, she hurriedly said loudly, unable to contain her joy and eager to let him know. Xiao Qing's lips curled up, clearly saying, "Aren't you going to praise us?"

Lin Feng, seeing the two women whose faces were practically screaming "Ask me, ask me!", didn't want to spoil their fun, so he played along and said:

"Let me guess, last time you guys brought out some Black Iron-grade armor and swords and showed them off to me for ages. You're all so excited this time, so it must be something special, right?"

The two women nodded repeatedly, practically begging for a guess.

"Could it be that they've crafted a Black Iron-grade Xuan Iron Crossbow?"

"No, no, guess again!" Michelle shook her head rapidly, giving me a look that said, "You underestimate me."

"Then..." Lin Feng deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "Could it be a full set of heavy knight's armor?"

"No, that's not right either, let's guess higher!" Michelle leaned closer to Lin Feng, her exaggerated movements making her incredibly cute.

Seeing her like this, Lin Feng stopped teasing her and said with a hint of mockery, "Could it be a Black Iron-grade crossbow?"

"Oh dear...you guessed it again! This isn't fun at all!" Michelle clapped her hands, her excitement momentarily fading, but she recovered in less than two seconds.

"But you'll never guess how powerful this ballista is! Come on, I'll show you, you'll be amazed!"

She reached out and grabbed Lin Feng's arm, and they walked towards the outer city wall. Xiao Qing followed on the other side. Lin Feng shook his arm, and Xiao Qing's face showed an even happier smile than before. She stepped forward and took Lin Feng's other arm.

The three of them went directly to the outer city wall via the covered bridge that spanned the rooftops of the inner and outer city.

To Xiao Xuan's right, near the city gate, the crossbow they had mentioned had been installed. This crossbow was larger than Lin Feng had imagined, with a dark metallic luster throughout. It was made entirely of refined black iron, with rough lines, and was almost twice the size of a regular crossbow.

There were four or five other people adjusting the base, and Guo Yi was there too, holding a set of cables about the thickness of a finger and installing them.

Michelle let go of Lin Feng's arm and ran over to pat the side of the ballista.

"Ta-da! This is it. It took more than a dozen people of our time and effort, from design to craftsmanship to the finished product. Look at this ballista. It was made by fusing refined black iron with the horn of a level 5 unicorn rock lizard and animal sinew. Even a dozen level 4 professionals couldn't pull it open. We even needed electric power to assist in its operation."

"The crossbow bolts are also specially made; the black iron arrows are forged using the sharpest teeth of level 5 mutated beasts. When this crossbow hits its target, it will also cause petrification and a shockwave effect!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lin Feng, her eyes shining with an alarming intensity: "I guarantee that next time we encounter a level 5 mutated beast, I can blast it to death with a single shot. Even a level 6 one isn't impossible to handle."

Lin Feng looked at this powerful weapon, nodded in satisfaction, and gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Well done!"

"Hmph, that's right!" Michelle tilted her head back, revealing her fair chin.

Ever since Lin Feng gave her the profession of Forging Maiden, this girl has become increasingly fond of creating powerful weapons. Despite having a talent for sensing danger, she's using it to sense how to forge even more dangerous weapons...

Is this reasonable?

Guo Yi finished connecting the last cable and crawled out from under the base: "Alright, finally installed. This thing really took my life. Lin Feng, if you don't give me a few hundred tons of black iron, you'll be letting me down after all this hard work. I'm going on strike..."

Lin Feng: "Old Guo, didn't I just allocate 100 tons of iron ore to you and Luo Xiaoxiao?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Yi poured out his grievances: "You have no idea how difficult it is to level up after advancing to level 4. I built a Black Iron-grade war chariot from scratch, and it only gave me 1 experience point! I need to build a full 2000 chariots to reach level 5. Where am I going to get that many resources? Each chariot requires tens of tons of black iron ore... It's unknown whether I can gather that many resources in my lifetime!"

"It's alright, Brother Guo, you can live for 800 years, you can save up slowly..."

Guo Yi: "..."

Guo Yi was utterly speechless. Was that what I meant? Why aren't you playing by the rules? Shouldn't you be generous and give me a bigger share of the iron ore, considering how much I've done for you?

"By the way, where's Xiaoxiao? I haven't seen her."

Lin Feng hadn't seen Luo Xiaoxiao for several days.

Xiao Qing whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Luo Xiaoxiao volunteered to be a helper and has been making parts for us in the workshop these past few days. Her ability is very useful; it involves material transformation, and she can make the parts we want using ores. These past few days, she's been talking about how she'll use the Ghost Crystals to buy snacks and coax Bai Zhirou back from you."

"Holy crap..."

Lin Feng was shocked. "They think they can take someone away from me now that they're in my hands? No way!"

Lin Feng stroked his chin, thinking to himself, since she's so useful, I can't let her go. I need to find a way to keep Luo Xiaoxiao here completely.

Then Xiao Qing whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "Also, don't be fooled by Guo Yi. Actually, he can gain experience points by crafting things with black iron ore, but each item gives very little experience. He's always asking us what to make in the workshop, even more eager than us, all because we can gain experience by crafting black iron-grade items..."

Lin Feng nodded in deep agreement: "Yeah, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is really wicked. Keep an eye on him for me..."

Guo Yi: "Hey...you two, were you talking about me behind my back? I heard everything..."
