is coming.

We chatted for a while.

Shen Kun, beaming with joy, took a few red eggplants to wash, and returned to give two to each of his older brother and younger sister.

"How's your training going?"

Sitting on the stool, Shen Yi took a bite of the red tomato and felt the sweet taste fill his mouth.

It tastes similar to an apple, but even more refreshing and delicious.

He casually inquired about the two's cultivation progress.

Shen Kun's expression changed, and he said, "Brother, I've been eating a lot of venison these past few days, and I can clearly feel my blood and energy returning!"

"I feel that in two days at most, I'll be able to successfully break through to the Qi and Blood Realm!"

"good."

Shen Yi's eyes lit up.

The second brother has been practicing the Bull's Fury for more than half a year, and with the benefits of venison, it's indeed time for him to break through to a higher level.

"Big brother, I also feel a warm current flowing through my body, but it's very weak..." Shen Yuan said, looking down as if she was very ashamed.

Upon hearing this...

Shen Yi and Shen Kun were both taken aback.

My little sister has only been cultivating for a few days, and she has already generated qi and blood?

However, considering that her parents had been nourishing her body since she was little, it's not surprising that her younger sister is healthier than them.

"Very good. If you can maintain this feeling at all times, you'll find it easier to guide the flow of Qi and blood!"

"Yes, big brother, I've got it!" Shen Yuan nodded vigorously in response.

While they continued practicing, Shen Yi took the rabbit meat and pheasant to prepare them.

"It's a pity we didn't find any wild mountain eggs, otherwise we could have seen if we could raise them in captivity."

Shen Yi felt a little regretful when he thought about the chicken coop at home.

Upgrading the vegetable garden and chicken coop both require folk materials.

He didn't have much Yin Soul Wood left, so it seemed he would have to wait a few more days.

"Other people in the village probably have the Ghost Wood, but no one has discovered what use it can have; they just keep it at home as decoration."

Shen Yi suddenly had the idea of ​​going to other people's homes to exchange for Yin Soul Wood.

However, not many people would hunt worthless lantern ghosts.

It's estimated that it won't be worth many Yin Soul Woods.

He shouldn't have too high hopes.

dong dong dong-

At this time.

Just as Shen Yi was busy, someone suddenly knocked on the courtyard gate from outside.

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan immediately became alert.

Shen Yi walked out of the kitchen and waved to them.

Shen Kun immediately understood and quickly grabbed the longbow and hid it in a secluded spot.

The younger sister grabbed a dagger and hid it in her bosom, continuing to pretend to practice her kung fu in the same spot.

"Who?"

Shen Yi opened the courtyard gate.

Immediately, one could see a tall, slender young woman standing outside.

"Little Yi, why are you so vigilant?" the visitor said with a smile.

Outside the door was the house of the widow Guan Yue, who lived near his home.

"Sister Guan Yue, is there something you need?"

Shen Yi remained calm and asked.

"Something happened in the village. The hunting team went out last night, and the village chief and the others haven't returned yet."

Guan Yue's expression turned serious, and she said solemnly, "Just now, two mutated monsters suddenly broke into the village. Things are a bit unusual, and I suspect something has happened, so I came to remind you."

"If you three siblings run into any trouble, you can always come to my house for refuge."

"What?"

Shen Yi frowned.

Hunting Team One is the strongest fighting force currently existing in the village.

Monsters sometimes accidentally enter the village, and most villagers are powerless to resist them; the hunting team is the one who takes care of them.

If something happens to them, the safety of the village will be greatly reduced.

He gave Guan Yue a long look.

This guy suddenly came to his door to talk about this, and even asked the three siblings to take refuge at her house. I wonder what his intentions are.

He certainly won't believe it.

"Thank you for reminding us, Sister Guan Yue. We will be careful."

"Alright, it's getting dark, you should all go back inside. I'm going back too."

After Guan Yue finished speaking, she smiled, turned around, and walked quickly towards her home.

Shen Yi closed the door.

"Hunting team has run into trouble, brother, what should we do?" Shen Kun emerged from his hiding place, his face full of worry.

"It's alright, there are so many people in the village, don't worry," Shen Yi reassured him.

"Big brother, what's your relationship with Sister Guan Yue? Why did she suddenly come to talk to us?"

Shen Yuan noticed Guan Yue's expression when she was talking to her older brother, and couldn't help but frown.

As a woman herself, she instantly felt a sense of wariness towards Guan Yue.

Shen Yuan then said earnestly, "Big brother, she's a widow, don't be fooled by her!"

"What are you thinking?"

Shen Yi chuckled upon hearing this and shook his head, saying:

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with her, and I have no idea what her intentions are."

"Alright, let's not worry about this. Go back to your room and rest after you finish eating."

……

Night falls.

Darkness swiftly enveloped the land, with countless terrifying presences lurking within, searching for their desired prey.

Shen Yi was lying in bed preparing to fall asleep, as usual, he planned to hunt lantern ghosts closer to dawn.

Bang! ! !

A heavy slamming sound echoed as the door was slammed shut.

He suddenly opened his eyes!

Since the upgrade of the Zhenyin Wooden House, all spirits and monsters have been kept at least two meters away from the house and cannot approach.

How many days has it been since they've heard this kind of noise?

[Zhenyin Wooden House - Level 1 (Upgrading in progress 1/20)]

[Function: Can withstand attacks from first-tier demons]

【Characteristic: Suppresses Yin (White color, deals minor damage to Yin-attribute monsters near the wooden house)】

【Durability: 98.8/100】

……

This commotion caused the Zhenyin Wooden House's durability to drop by 1 point?!

Shen Yuan and Shen Kun were naturally awakened by the violent impact.

Soon, Shen Kun's voice suddenly trembled as he spoke:

"Big brother, come quick!"

Shen Yi took two steps at a time and quickly arrived at Shen Kun's side, looking out through the crack in the window.

Several dark figures were seen walking in through the deliberately left-open gate of their yard.

Many lantern ghosts tried to rush in, but were suddenly grabbed by these dark figures.

The lantern ghost's two flames of spiritual energy were instantly enveloped by a layer of black mist.

The two flames of spirit struggled helplessly inside the lantern, but eventually extinguished themselves in the black mist.

The shadowy figure casually tossed the motionless lantern ghost to the ground and continued walking towards Shen Yi's house.

"The Shadow Monster!"

inside the house.

Shen Yi's expression was solemn.

The Mist Shadow Monster is an extremely dangerous spirit.

They will forcibly blend into the shadows of humans, thereby controlling the target's every move.

Black Mountain Village is not within their territory. Even if some Shadow Fog Monsters accidentally wandered into this place, there shouldn't be so many of them.

Shen Yi counted them.

Three Shadow Fog Monsters entered his yard.

There seemed to be quite a few more shadowy creatures crowding into the village, which sent a chill down my spine.

Bang! ! !

The next moment, another loud banging on the door rang out!

【Durability: 97.8/100】

……
