Upgrade the Evil-Slaying Wooden House!

next second.

To the astonishment of Shen Kun and Shen Yuan, they saw the black tree branch that their elder brother had been holding vanish into thin air.

What's going on?!

The two rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things, and immediately stared intently at Shen Yi.

"Big brother, you..."

Shen Yi never expected that after confirming the collection of black tree branches, he would disappear from everyone's sight.

His expression turned slightly stern.

This is something you must be extremely careful about, and you must not do it casually in front of others.

However, if there were a storage bag or something in the future, it could be concealed.

However, storage bags are extremely rare; in the entire Black Mountain Village, only the village chiefs of each generation have been able to possess them.

It is a symbol of the identity of the village chief of Heishan Village.

"I have awakened a special talent that allows me to create all kinds of tools."

Shen Yi spoke slowly.

He did not deliberately hide his two younger siblings from him.

After all, he will be upgrading the [Evil-Slaying Wooden House] later, and the two of them will definitely notice the changes to the house.

Moreover, he has limited mobility now and will probably have to stay in bed for a while.

His younger siblings could only temporarily take over his work.

"Special talent?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes immediately lit up, and she excitedly asked, "Is it like the village chief's youngest son, with his innate superhuman strength?"

The village chief's youngest son is a well-known genius in Heishan Village. At a young age, he can lift a millstone weighing a thousand catties!

According to ancient texts, he possesses innate strength, and once he becomes a formal cultivator, his strength will far surpass that of others of the same level!

Hearing that their older brother had also awakened his talent, Shen Yuan and her companion were immediately invigorated.

"That's right."

Shen Yi nodded, then instructed the two, "Don't make this public, and don't let outsiders know, otherwise the three of us siblings might get into trouble."

"We know that. Our parents have always taught us to keep a low profile," Shen Kun replied earnestly.

"I've heard from the villagers that there's a kind of evil cultivator who can steal other people's talents. For Big Brother's safety, we will definitely keep this a secret and will not divulge a single word under any circumstances. Little Sister, you must remember this too."

"I know!"

Shen Yuan nodded vigorously.

Although she is young, she has thought a lot since she was a child, and her mind is much more mature than that of her peers.

The three siblings huddled together in the wooden house; despite their small size, their hearts were already tightly bound together.

Seeing how sensible the two were, Shen Yi felt much more at ease.

[Materials collected: 1 Shadow Wood]

Seeing that the amount collected was only so little, Shen Yi frowned and tried to upgrade the Evil-Breaking Wooden House.

The next second...

The quantity of Yin Soul Wood has been reset to zero.

The evil-breaking wooden house subsequently underwent slight changes.

【Evil-Breaking Wooden House - Level 0 (Upgrading 1/10)】

……

With just 10 units of Yin Soul Wood, you can upgrade the Evil-Breaking Wooden House to level 1!

Seeing the data, Shen Yi felt much more at ease.

As far as he knew, his parents had killed at least ten lantern ghosts.

It should be possible to meet the upgrade requirements for the Evil-Slaying Wooden House.

Shen Yi immediately had his younger brother and sister move all the Yin Soul Wood out of the cellar.

Half an hour later.

Shen Yi collected all the Yin Soul Wood.

The information displayed in "The Core of Folklore" is—

[Materials collected: 12 Shadow Wood]

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Yi immediately chose to upgrade the Evil-Slaying Wooden House!

Swah——

In an instant, the wooden house was visibly changing rapidly, and a chilling aura spread out.

The spirit patterns carved on the wooden house wall, which had faded, regained their luster and became even more complete and clear than before.

In no time, the Broken Evil Wooden House was upgraded.

[Zhenyin Wooden House - Level 1]

[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: 100/100】

……

Shen Yi examined the specific attributes of the evil-suppressing wooden house, his gaze falling on the newly appeared characteristic 'Suppressing Yin', and he was very satisfied!

Black Mountain Village is located on the outskirts of the Black Mountain Range, and the surrounding area is mostly inhabited by spirits and monsters with yin attributes.

With the ability to suppress Yin, the safety of the three siblings will undoubtedly be greatly increased!

Another unexpected surprise is that the upgrade can restore the durability value, which is near the bottom, to full.

He doesn't need to worry about his wooden house collapsing due to low durability tonight.

Their wooden house is now more sturdy than most of the houses in the village.

Unless you encounter a monster of rank two or higher, there will be absolutely no problem.

Noticing the white label following the trait "Suppressing Yin," Shen Yi quickly understood that this was a classification of traits based on folk customs.

"This should mean the lowest level."

As the wooden houses continue to be upgraded in the future, they will evolve to have even higher levels of characteristics!

Shen Kun and Shen Yuan witnessed the entire event unfolding from the sidelines.

The two watched as their home was transformed from ruins to a completely new and sturdy structure, even more intact than before, their eyes filled with undisguised awe.

"Is this your talent, brother?"

Shen Kun's voice trembled, "Being able to repair a house is far more powerful than having superhuman strength!"

"Here, give me your bow."

Shen Yi shook his head and smiled. His abilities were far superior to repair. He then gestured with his eyes to the longbow that Shen Kun was carrying.

Without hesitation, Shen Kun untied the longbow and handed it to Shen Yi.

[Standard Longbow - Level 0]

[Function: Archery]

【Characteristics: None】

【Durability: 68/100】

……

The Shen family originally had three bows, but the two elders of the Shen family had lost their bows, leaving only this one in the family.

"As expected, besides upgrading the wooden house, I can also use the Ghost Wood to upgrade other items!"

Shen Yi's conjecture was confirmed, and he immediately chose to use Yin Soul Wood to upgrade the longbow.

In an instant.

The shape of the longbow in his hand slowly changed, the lines of the bow straightened slightly, making it appear longer and more slender, its color becoming lustrous, and its touch slightly cool.

[Shadow Wood Longbow - Level 1]

[Function: Archery]

【Special Feature: Aiming (White, slightly improved accuracy)】

【Durability: 100/100】

After the upgrade is complete.

Shen Yi checked the consumption of Yin Soul Wood and found that upgrading the longbow to level 1 only consumed 2 units of Yin Soul Wood.

After upgrading the cabin and longbow, there is currently 1 unit of Shadowwood remaining.

Due to insufficient materials, it is temporarily impossible to continue upgrading the item.

Shen Yi handed over the longbow: "Here, go out and try it."

Shen Kun took the longbow back and felt it become heavier in his hand, as if it had become more difficult to hold.

Not much.

The important thing is that the moment he grasped the longbow, he suddenly felt a sense of precision, and as soon as a thought flashed through his mind, he would quickly aim at the target!

Shen Kun picked up the bow and stormed out of the house.

After selecting a tree stump fifty meters away as the target.

He instinctively drew an arrow, nocked it on the bowstring, and aimed at the tree stump. With a whoosh, the arrow shot out like lightning and hit the target squarely!

The arrow's fletching was still trembling slightly.

Shen Kun stared wide-eyed in disbelief. When did his archery skills become so precise?

Without much thought, he chose another target that was farther away and smaller in size.

This time it was a small tile, about the size of a palm, on a large rock a hundred meters away!

call out!

Another arrow whistled through the air.

To the younger sister's astonishment, the tile was precisely shattered by the long arrow that traversed the sky!

hiss--

Shen Kun gasped.

His gaze quickly turned intense.

With his level of archery skill, he is qualified to hunt some medium-sized wild animals!
