Care

Is anyone home?

At dusk.

Shen Kun was practicing his Bull-like Kung Fu in the courtyard when he suddenly saw two people walking hurriedly from outside.

He was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recognized the two people: "Uncle Shaohui, Aunt Minghui."

"What can I do for you?"

"Xiao Kun, we came to see how your older brother is doing?"

Wang Shaohui stepped forward and asked, his gaze falling on the wooden house behind him, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The spirit patterns carved on the wooden house were still very clear, showing little sign of wear.

What's going on?!

Shen Yun and his wife died half a month ago.

No matter what, the spirit patterns on the Shen family's house should be severely worn.

Could it be that a spiritual practitioner repaired their house?

Wang Shaohui thought back carefully.

Shen Yun and his wife had no relatives or friends in the village; the only family they were close to was Liao Ning's.

Could it be that Liao Ning's family came to help with this?

Shen Kun said, "My elder brother's injuries have not yet fully healed, and he is recuperating in the house."

Wang Shaohui suppressed his doubts.

Now that the spirit patterns on Shen Yun's house have been repaired, he felt much more at ease.

A smile appeared on his face as he said, "We've caught quite a few game recently, so we've brought you some meat."

That's all.

Cao Minghui picked up the basket in her hand and sighed, "Your family has recently suffered a great calamity. The three siblings must take care of each other."

"Thank you, Uncle Shaohui and Aunt Minghui, we know."

"But there's no need for the meat. The three of us siblings are now able to support ourselves, and life isn't easy for any of us. You can keep it for yourselves."

Shen Kun glanced at the basket, smiled, and shook his head to politely decline.

Their family and Wang Shaohui's family had never been familiar with each other, so their sudden visit made him wary.

"Don't worry, child, we have plenty of meat at home, just take it!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Minghui immediately became unhappy and forcefully shoved the basket into Shen Kun's hands.

Shen Kun's first reaction was to shove it back in.

"Ah Kun, please accept this."

Shen Yi had heard voices coming from the courtyard earlier.

He came out following the sound, and when he saw it was Wang Shaohui and his wife, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shaohui and Aunt Minghui, for the meat. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

"No, no, it's almost night, I need to hurry back."

Wang Shaohui waved his hand, leaving behind a basket of meat, and quickly left with his wife Cao Minghui.

The two arrived in a hurry and left in a hurry.

After watching them walk away, Shen Kun immediately went to Shen Yi's side and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, they suddenly came over to fawn over you. I bet they didn't have any good intentions."

"It's alright, they probably mean no harm," Shen Yi smiled.

Shen's parents had told him about their relationship with Wang Shaohui's family.

Back when my parents' cultivation was only at the second level of the Qi and Blood Realm, they were able to work in the village's second hunting team thanks to Wang Shaohui's help.

The two families didn't actually have a deep personal relationship, but from what Mr. and Mrs. Shen said, it was clear that Wang Shaohui's family were kind-hearted people.

Of course, one should always be wary of others.

Shen Yi did not intend to touch the basket of meat that the other party had given him.

……

Night fell quickly.

Shen Yi and the other two were ready.

The lantern ghosts crawled out of the darkness and drifted into the Shen family's courtyard one after another.

"Big brother, you're here. Shall we open the door now?"

"etc--"

Shen Yi observed for a while longer.

Because he had already discovered last night that as the lantern ghosts approached the Zhenyin wooden house, the house caused them some damage, and by the end of the night, the spiritual fire inside their lanterns seemed to have dimmed considerably.

If we wait until dawn, when the Lantern Ghost has accumulated more damage, and then hunt it down, will that reduce the damage taken by Deep Black Arrows?

Shen Yi decided not to act immediately, but instead made a decision.

"Get some sleep first, and we'll make our move when it's almost dawn."

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan looked puzzled upon hearing this.

After a brief explanation, the two readily accepted the proposal.

This will reduce the loss of Deep Black Arrows, which is a good thing.

It just means resting earlier and getting up earlier.

A night's sleep.

Before dawn.

Shen Yi and the other two woke up on time and saw that the lantern ghost in the courtyard was still trying to get close to the wooden house, but it could not succeed.

They keenly noticed that, after the damage caused by the cabin overnight, the spiritual fire of these lantern ghosts was indeed much dimmer than when night had just fallen.

Shen Yi gave the order to act without hesitation.

Shen Kun quickly opened the door a crack, and he had already drawn his Yin Wood Longbow, aiming an arrow at a lantern ghost.

call out--

The long arrow whistled out.

It accurately hit the lantern ghost's ball of spiritual fire!

The second arrow followed immediately!

puff!puff!

The two flames of spiritual energy went out, and the lantern ghost fell to the ground, motionless.

Seeing the spirits that ordinary people used to fear so much being easily shot down like chickens and dogs in front of his elder brother, Shen Kun and Shen Yuan's eyes were full of admiration.

Soon, a ray of light appeared in the sky, and the spirits quickly disappeared into the darkness, vanishing from the human world.

"Today we harvested twelve pieces of Yin Soul Wood..."

Walking into the courtyard, Shen Yi dismantled the ghostly wood from the lantern ghost lying on the ground and pondered.

The plan is to use all the Yin Soul Wood harvested today to upgrade the Deep Black Arrow.

Should we leave it for now and wait until tomorrow when we have enough Yin Soul Wood to upgrade the Yin-Suppressing Wooden House?

After all, if all the money is used to upgrade the Deep Black Arrow, and this snowballs, after six or seven days, the number of Lantern Ghosts he can hunt every night will exceed one hundred!

However, if he makes that choice, he won't be able to upgrade the cabin for the next few days.

It was a tough decision.

call--

Shen Yi let out a long breath. After thinking it over, he finally decided to wait another day to collect twenty pieces of Yin Soul Wood, so that he would have enough folk materials to upgrade the wooden house once.

He hadn't forgotten that besides the lantern ghost, there was also a powerful, one-eyed demon eyeing their home.

That night, their house was almost broken into by the one-eyed ghost who broke through the spiritual runes.

"Brother, all the Deep Black Arrows have been retrieved."

Shen Yuan's voice came from behind, waking Shen Yi from his reverie.

Shen Yi picked up a Deep Black Arrow to check its attributes.

[Deep Black Arrow - Level 1]

[Function: Can deal massive damage to Tier 1 monsters]

【Characteristics: Hard (white, slightly increased hardness)】

【Durability: 70/100】

……

The Deep Black Arrow lost 20 durability points when used to deal with the Lantern Monster before, but this time it only lost 10 durability points!

really.

The guess was correct.

The Zhenyin wooden house continuously inflicted damage on the approaching lantern ghost.

After a long night, the lantern ghost's spiritual fire was severely damaged.

The Deep Black Arrow can extinguish the flames of the spirit more easily!

This method works, so we'll do it this way from now on!

Shen Yi was in a great mood.

After dinner.

The three siblings each began practicing their "Bull-like Kung Fu" in the courtyard.

Shen Yi's perception of Qi and blood has reached an almost solid level.

Today, under his persistent guidance, this vital energy has finally shown signs of flowing and circulating.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to break through to the next realm before nightfall tonight!
