Chapter 64
Someone is coming
As dawn broke.
After a night of being cleansed by spirits, Black Mountain Village was no longer as peaceful and tranquil as before.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
It was enough to give one a sense of the terrifying and tragic scene that had unfolded in the village last night.
Heartbreaking and mournful cries echoed through the village, shrouding the entire village in grief.
In stark contrast, on the other side, Shen Yi and his companions were beaming with excitement as they looked around at the piles of monster corpses scattered everywhere.
Lantern ghosts are the most numerous.
This time, it's likely that all the lantern ghosts that have been accumulating in the lantern ghost's lair for who knows how many years have been drawn out, and the number is definitely no less than ten thousand!
Shen Yi glanced at the collection section.
He had created a large number of artifacts, and the original 17,000+ Yin Soul Wood was instantly depleted, leaving only a meager 626.
Looking at the mere three-digit amount of Yin Soul Wood, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel somewhat insecure.
The lantern ghost tonight probably won't be able to make up for all the Yin Soul Wood it consumed.
However, there are many other kinds of spirits and monsters, from which you can obtain a large amount of unknown materials, which may unlock even more new creation blueprints.
Moreover, this time he created five powerful individual soldiers who could be commanded and controlled by him and had considerable combat capabilities!
It's definitely worth it.
"Lantern Ghost, Swamp Monster, Fog Shadow Monster..."
Shen Kun quickly retrieved the Deep Black Arrow and then began to dispose of the monster's corpse.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar spirit, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"It's another kind of spirit I've never seen before."
The three were experienced in dealing with lantern ghosts, and dismantling the spirit wood was effortless for them; they could remove several pieces in the blink of an eye.
However, with tens of thousands of lantern ghosts, they'll have a lot to do.
Shen Yi first stepped forward to check the condition of the wooden puppet soldiers.
Of the twenty level 1 wooden puppet soldiers, two have already been upgraded to level 4.
Currently, only five level 1 wooden golems are still effective.
The remaining thirteen level 1 wooden golems have all dropped to 0 durability points and are no longer usable.
Of the four level 3 wooden puppet soldiers created, one had half of its body damaged by Huang Liuniang, while the other three were still functioning normally.
Shen Yi's gaze shifted and landed on the five level 4 wooden puppet soldiers in the arena, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords, standing motionless.
Of all these wooden puppet soldiers, only these five were able to stand.
His guess was right.
Once the wooden puppet soldier is upgraded to level 4, it can remain operational even during the day!
"Take all the wooden puppets on the ground back."
Shen Yi gave them an order.
Five silent Level 4 wooden golems simultaneously raised their heads!
They took steady steps, grabbed their fellow creatures from the ground, and walked towards the inner wall.
After throwing it into the outer wall, he rushed back quickly, grabbed the second wooden puppet soldier, and continued moving it.
Besides the wooden puppet soldiers, Shen Yi also had them carry back the corpses of the spirits.
Last night's fierce battle resulted in them gaining tens of thousands of lantern ghosts, but also the deaths of over a thousand other kinds of spirits at the hands of the wooden puppet soldiers.
The harvest was far greater than expected.
If Huang Shijiu hadn't died later, and Huang Shiqi hadn't brought a large group of monsters to seek revenge, his gains would have been several times less than they are now.
What a clever weasel!
Shen Yi looked at the weasel's corpse and smiled calmly.
We must make good use of them, making the most of every inch of their fur, bones, and blood, without wasting a single bit.
That's how we can honor their selfless dedication.
at the same time.
After Mo Guanhai and Liao Ning had everyone count the survivors, they rushed over with a group of people to check on the Shen siblings.
"They must be dead. Even we couldn't stop the monsters' attack, let alone them," Liao Shi'an said with a relaxed smile.
Sun Wen, his eyes darting around, immediately chimed in, "Shi An is right. This is a good opportunity for us to take some of Shen Yi's supplies. They should have quite a bit of monster meat."
Liao Shi'an then remembered the newly built wall of the Shen family, and his eyes lit up:
"Didn't they build a nine-meter-high wall around their house? We can move in there; it'll definitely keep those monsters out!"
The two's conversation reached the ears of others, drawing the attention of Tang Jing and his companions.
"Dad, what are you talking about? We're going to help." Liao Ning frowned.
"Anyway, if they die, everything will be ours. I'm not wrong."
Liao Shi'an said matter-of-factly, "Besides, they occupied our original land, so it's only right that we take it back."
He would feel much better if those little brats died.
However, when the group hurried to the west side of the village, they immediately saw four figures busily dealing with the corpses of the monsters scattered all over the ground.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Not only are they still alive, but they've killed so many monsters?"
Qin Lie was dumbfounded.
His lips twitched, especially when he saw the weasel that the eldest son of the Shen family was carrying.
Although I thought the Shen siblings were extraordinary, I never imagined they could be so powerful as to kill the weasel!
The thought that even though thousands of them had tried their best to resist yesterday, they were unable to stop the monsters' attack, while the Shen siblings were able to kill a large number of monsters while protecting themselves was still a shock.
The two situations are completely different, almost like heaven and earth.
Seeing this scene, everyone's thoughts were stirred, and they were unable to calm down for a long time.
Liao Shi'an and Sun Wen's expressions changed drastically, finding it hard to accept.
"Brother Shen, your skills are truly remarkable! To be able to slay the monster amidst its rampage is truly admirable!" Tang Jing is deeply impressed.
Tang Jing was the first to step forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and spoke with great admiration.
He finally saw things clearly.
In Heishan Village, only the Shen siblings were worth befriending.
Even in their own Yanling Village, such a talent would be considered outstanding.
"Not worth mentioning."
"We regret that we cannot entertain you; please leave."
Shen Yi nodded calmly to him, completely ignoring Liao Ning and his large group.
Tang Jing smiled upon hearing this, "We will be leaving Black Mountain Village today. If Brother Shen has time to visit Rock Ridge Village in the future, I, Tang Jing, will certainly treat you to a grand feast!"
"No problem."
Shen Yi was somewhat interested in Yanling Village, and since Tang Jing's attitude was so sincere, he wouldn't refuse him.
Instead, Liao Shi'an and the others looked at this area, their eyes darting around, about to speak: "Little Yi..."
"How dare you call me 'Little Yi'?"
Shen Kun immediately dropped the lantern ghost corpse in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and coldly interrupted him.
Liao Shi'an's face stiffened.
"...Xiao Kun, I admit that I haven't taken good care of you before, but our two families have lived together for so many years, haven't we? We've always called each other that before."
