Battle

"Those people in Yanling Village are really capable; their spirit patterns are the same as our upgraded city walls."

Shen Yuan exclaimed in amazement.

As a large number of spirits poured into Mo Guanhai's house, only to be burned and repelled by a burst of white light, their power was far greater than that of the spirit runes possessed by Black Mountain Village.

However, judging from the strength of Mo Guanhai's stone wall, it should not be as strong as their yin wood wall.

Shen Yuan noticed something amiss: "Did the people of Yanling Village offend something? The monsters tonight seem to be targeting them."

"It should be."

Shen Yi was keeping a close eye on the situation tonight.

In comparison, the pressure their family was under was far less than that on Mo Guanhai's side.

With the combat capabilities of his twenty wooden puppet soldiers, he is currently suppressing the monsters' offensive.

With the people of Yanling Village bearing the brunt of the pressure, they should be able to get through the night safely, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

As Shen Yi's gaze swept over the group of monster corpses on the outer wall, a burning desire began to rise within him.

Tonight's harvest may be enough for him to unlock even more folk creations!

In a fleeting glance.

Shen Yi's gaze narrowed slightly as he noticed a group of spirits outside Mo Guanhai's house heading straight towards them.

"Big brother! Something's up!"

Shen Yuan grabbed his sleeve, her tone urgent.

They clearly noticed this anomaly as well.

Shen Yi remained silent, keeping a close eye on the movements of the group of spirits until they entered the Yin Wood Arrow Tower's 'field of vision'.

A strange expression appeared on his face.

Humanoid spirits?

……

"Heh, that's interesting. I didn't expect there to be such brave people in this village, daring to come out and face monsters at night."

As Huang Shijiu approached the Shen family manor, he saw twenty figures outside the wall constantly dealing with monsters, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

But then, a little weasel nearby hesitantly called out to it.

"What? That's a puppet?"

Huang Shijiu was stunned when he heard this.

Its eyesight wasn't very good, so it squinted and kept getting closer, only to realize that it really was a human-shaped puppet.

"What, could a wooden puppet cultivator possibly appear in this place?"

Huang Shijiu's clan has existed for a long time and has some knowledge of human cultivators and magical techniques.

For example, a wooden puppeteer would carve wooden puppets, imbue them with a touch of magic, and then use them for his own purposes.

Among their clans, there were elders who had encountered human wooden puppet cultivators and suffered great losses, losing half of their cultivation to escape. Since then, they have dared not venture out.

There are also paper-mache cultivators, corpse-driving cultivators, and spirit-walking cultivators...

Huang Shijiu took a closer look and saw that the wooden puppet soldier only had a faint layer of magic power on him, so he couldn't help but laugh.

"I thought he was some formidable figure, but it turns out he can only deal with low-level monsters. His tricks are no match for you!"

It swaggered in, and the group of spirits behind it were also driven over, merging into the already large group of spirits in the area.

However, with Huang Shijiu's arrival, the surrounding low-level spirits seemed to be under some kind of pressure, and they all made way for him, as if facing a great general, and dared not approach.

Huang Shijiu looked around and examined the wall that resembled neither wood nor stone.

A hint of doubt flashed in its eyes.

"What is this wall made of? The texture looks like the wood from the ghostly spirits on the lantern ghost."

Huang Shijiu then shook his head.

The wood of the spirit is quite hard; how much effort would it take to make a wall from it?

It was clearly a thankless task, and even its clan elders would not use Yin Soul Wood in this way.

He put that slight doubt behind him.

Who cares what it's made of, let's just get in first!

They were waiting for the night to pass so they could return to their clan and receive their reward!

"Nephews and grandnephews, charge! Break in!"

With a command given.

The dozen or so little weasels beside Huang Shijiu immediately rushed out!

In the blink of an eye, two little weasels seized the opportunity, leaped onto the wooden puppet soldier's shoulder, and took a bite.

Although a deep tooth mark was left on it, they felt as if their teeth were about to break, as if they were biting into iron, and they screamed in pain.

"weasel?"

Shen Yi saw this scene clearly from the Yinmu Arrow Tower.

After being attacked by the weasel, the wooden puppet's durability drops by 5-8 points!

Several weasels even headed straight for the shady wood wall.

"Squeak squeak squeak—!"

However, before they could even actually touch the wall, a strong burning sensation caused their bodies to emit plumes of black smoke, and they screamed and retreated.

Huang Shijiu exclaimed in surprise.

"What kind of spiritual runes are arranged on this wall? They're so powerful!"

Let alone climbing over, just getting close would result in burns.

But it soon noticed that the wall's color had faded considerably.

Huang Shijiu immediately laughed as if he had just realized something.

They only need to erode it little by little to break through this magical wall.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi discovered that the weasels had taken targeted action, and the wall's durability was rapidly decreasing.

Durability: 88...87...86...

It's estimated that the effect of this wall will be completely wiped out by the middle of the night.

But Shen Yi wasn't in a hurry.

The effect of the Yin Wood Wall was even more powerful than he had imagined. Despite so many spirits eroding it together, the durability value decreased at a relatively slow rate.

Compared to the lantern ghost, these little weasels are much less of a threat.

Let's just wait and see.

When they are exhausted and about to break through the wall, upgrade the wall to level 2.

Alternatively, a more cost-effective approach could be to rebuild a new wooden wall.

Shen Yi wanted to see what kind of breakdown reaction these monsters would have.

"Brother, the wall seems unable to withstand the erosion of so many monsters. Why don't I go out and reduce the damage to our wall?"

Shen Yuan spoke, her face full of solemnity.

Her idea is simple.

Given time, the wall will definitely be breached, so it's better to take the initiative and try to hold out until tonight.

"If I have to do everything myself, what's the point of spending so much effort creating these things?"

Shen Yi rubbed her little head, and seeing that it was almost time, he said:

"Come on, come down with me."

"it is good."

Shen Yuan nodded obediently.

The two walked all the way to the outer wall.

Then she saw her older brother build another wall right next to the outer wall!

In the end, Shen Yi decided to adopt the most cost-effective approach.

It cost 465 pieces of Yin Soul Wood to build the second layer of walls.

This is much more cost-effective than spending over two thousand Soul Wood to upgrade the outer wall to level 2.

As the base continues to expand in the future, this outer wall will have to be demolished sooner or later.

There's no need to spend too much on this.

In Shen Yuan's eyes, strands of Yin Soul Wood emerged from the void as illusory images, stretching out freely and quickly forming the outline of a wall.

It then materializes into reality at a speed visible to the naked eye!
