Li Yan thought that these slaves had never been to school, so it would be difficult for them to take sides. However, he did not expect that as soon as he gave the order, the female slaves would quickly line up in two neat rows. It was not worse than when Li Yan and the others were in school.
Lin stood alone at the side. Li Yan glanced at Lin and knew that it was because he was a man. He was the only male slave in the castle, so he stood there alone.
The speed at which these slaves lined up was far beyond Li Yan's expectations, so he could not react in time. He looked at the slaves in confusion.
Li Yan didn't know that these slaves had been trained in battle teams since they were young. Up until now, it was almost an instinct for them to choose sides.
Of course, the nobles would not count the slaves every day. However, no matter whether these slaves went out to work or came back, they had to stand in line. They had to count when they went and when they came back. This was to prevent people from sneaking away.
Li Yan didn't know about this, so when he saw that these people had lined up so quickly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, he immediately came back to his senses. He knew that this was not the time to think so much. He immediately said,"Count off."
He shouted this sentence almost instinctively, but those slaves immediately began to count. The last number was 34, which meant that there were 34 female slaves and one male slave in the courtyard.
Li Yan nodded and said loudly," Lin Cong just sent a message from the mountain. A large number of Magical Beasts and Undead Creatures are coming to the castle from the Cloud Dream Swamp. There might be a battle later. You guys stay here now. Don't go anywhere."”
The female slaves couldn't help but show fear on their faces. If it was a human army, they wouldn't be afraid. As long as they didn't resist, the other party wouldn't kill the slaves because slaves could be sold for money. As long as they didn't resist, they would be safe most of the time.
However, this time, it was magical beasts and undead creatures that came. Gold coins were useless to these two things. In their eyes, they could not tell who was a noble and who was a slave. In their eyes, people were people, and there was no difference in status.
At this moment, a few more slaves walked in from outside. They were also women. Li Dou was with them. Li Yan asked them to count down again. Including Li Dou, there were a total of fifty people. All the female slaves had returned.
When Li Yan saw Li Dou leading the female slaves back, he knew that Zhao Xuan might have returned as well. However, she didn't enter the inner castle. She was probably waiting for Bruiser and the others.
Li Yan did not go to the outer castle. He knew that if he went now, he would only cause trouble for Li Na and the others. He might as well wait here.
Li Yan glanced at the slaves and turned to Li Dou.""Li Dou, keep an eye on them. Don't let them run around.”Then, he turned to the slaves and said," I'm going into the house to get something. You guys have to listen to Li Dou. Don't run around."”
After saying that, Li Yan quickly walked into the castle. There was an underground warehouse in the castle. He had gone there to take a look. All the supplies that Zhao Lin had bought were stored there. Now, Li Yan was going there to store those supplies into his space to prevent them from being ruined by those Magical Beasts or Undead Creatures.
This underground warehouse was really big. Li Yan went in for a while before he finished collecting all the things. Then, he ran upstairs. There were still many things upstairs, most importantly, the books in the study.
Li Yan had also noticed that Zhao Lin and the others had bought those books with the intention of nurturing those slaves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bought so many books regarding magic and battle aura. Those books were extremely important. Not only were they a key to Li Yan's understanding of this world, but they were also a way for the Carlin family to nurture talents.
Li Yan quickly went upstairs and stored everything in the study into the interspace. Even the tables and chairs were stored in the interspace. Anyway, the storage of the interspace was not limited. He had to put in as much as he could.
Li Yan didn't pack the bedding first. Zhao Lin and the others had bought quite a lot of those things. Perhaps it was because the weather was getting warmer now, so he didn't take them out for the slaves to use, so he piled a lot in the warehouse.
Li Yan had just finished packing up the things in the study when he heard Li Na calling him from outside. Li Yan hurriedly ran out of the house and saw that Li Na and the others had returned. All the slaves had gathered in the inner castle, and Bruiser and the others had also returned.
When Li Yan saw that everyone had returned, he heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Li Na and said,"Grandma Li Na, is everyone back?”
Li Na nodded and said," They're all back. The castle's door is also closed. However, I don't think those magical beasts will come so soon. Young Master, why don't you go to the space?"”
Li Yan shook his head." Not yet. Grandma Li Na, let's go to the outer castle wall to take a look. I haven't seen any poisonous magical beasts or undead creatures yet."”
Li Na looked at Li Yan worriedly and said,"Young Master, this isn't good. It's too dangerous. What if something really happens?”
"It's fine. I still have you guys, don't I?" Li Yan smiled. I just want to see how many magical beasts and undead creatures there are this time. If there are a lot of them, we will retreat to my space. If there aren't many, we will beat them back.”
Li Na was stunned, but she did not say anything. She was still very confident in her ability. Just as Li Yan had said, if there were not many magical beasts and undead creatures this time, she could really defeat them.
Li Yan waved his hand and called Li Dou and Ann over. He said to the two of them,"You guys stay here and watch them. Don't let them run around.”After saying that, he followed Li Na and the others to the outer castle wall. Bruiser and Goudan followed closely behind Li Yan, and Zhao Xuan stood behind Li Yan, not leaving a single step.
Li Yan was also very impatient with their appearance, but he had no choice but to let them follow. Li Yan was very clear that if he did not let them follow, he might not be able to go to the city wall.
Li Na and the others thought that the Undead Creatures and Poison-type Magical Beasts wouldn't be too fast, but to their surprise, when they reached the top of the city wall, they found that the Magical Beasts and Undead Creatures had already run to the bottom of the mountain and were moving down.
At the front were a group of rat-like things. These things were much bigger than rats. They were about one meter tall and had pale green long hair. They had something like a fish on their feet. They were more than three meters long, not counting their thick and long tails.
Among these mouse-like things, there were a few that were especially huge. They were two meters tall and had seven-colored fur. It seemed to be the head of this group of things. There were more than a thousand rats in this group. More than a thousand large rats that were about one meter long made Li Yan's hair stand on end.
There was a large group of snakes following behind them!
Yes, they were snakes. There were countless snakes of different sizes and shapes. Some of them were green, some were red, and some were colorful. The biggest snakes were colorful and one meter thick. They were not to be trifled with.
Behind these snakes were a lot of insects of all kinds. They were huge. Even a spider was more than 1 m tall. The bigger ones were about 2 m tall. Of course, there were some small insects. However, those small insects were not easy to deal with. Each of them was very agile and fast. They were drilling in the pile of insects.
These insects were also colorful and came in all kinds of colors. One look and one could tell that they were poisonous. This made Li Yan's heart sink. There were already enough snakes, and these insects were even more than the snakes.
At this moment, those mouse-like magical beasts had already approached the moat outside the castle. Apparently, those mouse-like beasts could swim. They immediately ran into the moat, causing the water of the moat to turn green in a split second.
Li Yan's expression turned ugly again. He finally understood why there were no fish in the moat. Once those poisonous rats bathed in the river, it would be strange if there were still fish in the river.
Li Na walked to Li Yan's side and said,"Young Master, let's go back. There are too many magical beasts. We can't deal with them."”
Li Yan nodded and looked up the mountain. He found that there were more demonic beasts coming out of the mountain. This time, they were crocodile-like demonic beasts. They were also very big and their bodies were very bright. Among these crocodile-like demonic beasts, there were some bones mixed in.
That's right. From Li Yan's point of view, they were bones. Some of them could move. There were human bones, beast bones, big bones, small bones, and all kinds of bones. Slowly, more and more bones appeared on the mountain.
"Young Master, let's go.”
Li Yan nodded. Suddenly, he felt that the sky above the demonic beasts seemed to have darkened. Li Yan looked up in confusion and found that there was a group of flying demonic beasts flying above the demonic beasts. Some of these demonic beasts did not fly very high. They were flying insects. Some of them flew very high. They were bird-shaped demonic beasts. Li Yan's expression changed. With flying demonic beasts, it would be too easy to enter the castle.
Li Yan immediately nodded and said," Let's go. There are flying demonic beasts. We have to go to the inner castle to collect those slaves. Otherwise, it will be too late."”
Li Na saw it too. She immediately shouted,"Bruiser, go back to the inner castle and let those slaves in.”
Bruiser responded, and his body began to glow with a yellow light. He sped up and ran toward the inner castle. At this moment, Gou Dan picked up Li Yan and ran straight into the inner castle. Fortunately, he had also used his combat power. Although his speed was fast, it was very stable and didn't make Li Yan suffer too much.
Li Na's body flashed with an aqua blue light, and her speed wasn't any slower than Gou Dan's. Zhao Xuan's body flashed with a green light, and she was much faster than Gou Dan.
