The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 Run Away Home

Karl picked off a few more Giant Boars with his bow, then sent more instructions to Hawk.

[See if you can find the team of Spellblades. They should be somewhere near here if they kept going in this direction. I don't know if they're going to be anywhere near us, but if they are, we should meet up with them.] [Got it. There are plenty of groups of Minotaurs, and some lizards. Oh, I see some Goblins and big goblins too. I don't remember seeing those before. I will keep looking.]

Hawk flew off into the distance, a streak of blue fire in the sky, before he vanished into the clouds.

[Brother Hawk is fast.] Cara gasped, shocked by the speed of his departure.

[Does that happen when you get big? I'm a little faster when I'm big, but I can't fly.] Remi pondered.

They were waiting in their spaces now that the sun was out, and Rae was napping, as was her tradition after the sun came up.

"Can we get a substitution on this side? I need to talk to my team for a minute." Karl called out to the farmers who had come over to support Morrisa.

"No problem. We all heard the Oracle say that this will be the last of the Giant Boar spawns, so it's nearly time for us to get to work curing, salting, smoking and drying what we can. We will have to sell a lot of it to the cities, but we've got a solid year's worth of stored meat now."

That was about as long as a cured ham was normally kept without being eaten, but Karl didn't know how many survivors would be in the next city to trade with. The fire was out, and it didn't start over this morning with the two Overlords present. But that didn't mean that there was much of the city left to salvage.

The piles of boar bodies looked like hills in the countryside, with hundreds of bodies stacked for them to process and hundreds more in the fields nearby.

Some wouldn't be salvageable, but most of them should still have edible bits. Ophelia switched positions with another of the farmers, so the whole group could gather for a short meeting when Karl came around the house.

"What's the plan? Are we going to try to fight our way through a whole spawn?" She asked.

"That's pretty much the plan. I sent Hawk to go scout for a bit, and we can pick a route once he's back. The wilderness will likely be the better choice again. If the monster spawns are being influenced by the population density and power level, they won't be as bad in the wilderness. However, the Oracle thinks that the Giants have something that's triggering the Anomalies. Starting with the First Advancement Trial along the Hill Giant border, and now all over the Newbon Empire, the anomalies all appear to be linked to the Giants, according to his visions." Karl explained.
