Level 7 Vegetable Garden! New Green Trait!

Chapter 74 Level 7 Vegetable Garden! New Green Trait!

"Something happened in Heishan Village; only about sixty people are left in the entire village!"

The sky was dark.

Tang Jing and the others finally made it back to Yanling Village.

He had someone take the black horned horse to a safe place, and then hurried to the village council hall to report the situation to his father and several clan elders.

Tang Qiang was as burly as a bear, with a body full of vigor and vitality. Just by standing there, people within three meters of him could feel a strong sense of scorching pressure.

Upon learning the news that Tang Jing had brought back, his brows furrowed immediately.

"Village chief, this is a difficult situation. If something happens to Black Mountain Village, and the monster tide in Blackwater Swamp riots, we will lose one of our helpers and face even greater pressure."

Beside him, Wang Zheng, the village's second-in-command, sat in a sandalwood chair with a very solemn expression and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we were hoping to get some reinforcements from Huang Xin and his men, but it seems we can't count on them now."

.

Tang Qiang let out a long sigh.

Blackwater Swamp—a dangerous place right next to their Rock Ridge Village, perpetually shrouded in miasma and teeming with poisonous insects.

If that were the case, it would be fine, but unfortunately, a large number of terrifying monsters live there.

Once night falls, those monsters will emerge from the darkness and attack villages where people live!

As time went by, the monsters in the Blackwater Swamp multiplied, and if this continued, they would eventually be devoured by the monsters in the Blackwater Swamp.

"Has the town replied yet?" Tang Qiang asked Wang Zheng suddenly.

Wang Zheng met his gaze, shook his head slightly, and said bitterly, "Jiangchuan Town, as a large human settlement in our southern region, is now facing enormous pressure from spirits and monsters on its defenses, and is constantly sending manpower to the front lines to resist."

"They replied that we should hold on a little longer, and once reinforcements from other regions arrive and we have some free time, they will come to clear out the monsters in the Blackwater Swamp as soon as possible."

"It seems the situation is not optimistic."

Tang Qiang sighed.

For thousands of years, the struggle between humans and spirits has never ceased. Places like Black Mountain Village, where few powerful spirits reside, are actually rare.

However, there are many costs involved. The spiritual veins in the location of Black Mountain Village are severed, making it extremely difficult to produce a descendant with exceptional talent.

To spend one's entire life struggling in remote mountain valleys, busy making a living by eating three meals a day, is already the greatest luxury.

"Let's hold on a little longer. Maybe other areas will receive support from the town soon and be able to send people to help."

Now that things have come to this, Tang Qiang is temporarily comforting everyone.

"Father, we failed to complete the mission this time. We only brought back five black horned horses," Tang Jing said to him with his head down, feeling guilty.

"It's alright. Five black wildebeests are quite valuable. We haven't been able to spare any manpower lately, so we've entrusted this task to you. The expected outcome is a harvest of four black wildebeests. You've done a very good job."

Tang Qiang smiled, patted his son on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

He sighed inwardly.

The village is currently in poor condition, which has also affected the black wildebeest capture plan.

Fortunately, they were able to bring back some wildebeest.

With the wildebeest, they can now use their legs to travel to town and maintain daily contact with the town.

That's good news, I suppose.

"Boss, my dad used to take me to Big Coffin Mountain all the time, and we didn't find anything there."

"They're from the town, so they should know something, but it's also possible they have false information."

Shen Yi had never been to Da Guan Mountain, but since there had been no activity for so many years, there probably wasn't any problem.

It's possible that the Great Coffin Mountain isn't actually the place the three people were looking for.

He glanced at Huang Dahu and casually remarked, "They're actually discussing the ruins without hiding it from you guys?"

"Yeah, I don't understand either." Huang Dahu scratched his head.

If it were him, he would definitely keep the news a secret and would never let outsiders know.

"Ignore them."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yi finally decided to ignore the actions of the three people.

If those three had intended to harm them, they would have had the chance to do so just now.

However, we should also be wary.

We must improve our own capabilities as soon as possible in order to better cope with crises.

Huang Dahu nodded and chuckled, "Boss, is there anything you need me to do? I promise I'll handle it perfectly!"

"As far as I know, you should only be ten years old now."

Shen Yi glanced at the guy's height of nearly 1.9 meters and spoke.

"Yes, boss, I'm already ten years and nine months old, and in three more months I'll be eleven!"

"Furthermore, I broke through to the second level of the Qi and Blood Realm a few days ago, so I can do a lot of work!"

Huang Dahu answered quickly and forcefully.

Shen Yi's lips twitched.

This age of ten is a bit unusual.

When he grows up, won't this kid be three meters tall?

However, considering that this kid possessed the innate talent of superhuman strength, Shen Yi was able to accept it somewhat.

If trained properly, this guy will become a super warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men in the future!

"First, help everyone build the wall, then I'll let you join the hunting team to train," Shen Yi told him.

"Yes, boss!"

Huang Dahu responded loudly.

After the fierce battle of the previous night, the second night arrived as scheduled.

As night fell.

At this moment, the more than sixty villagers who were huddled together in Shen Yi Manor looked tense.

Thinking of what happened last night, my body trembled slightly.

The place where they were now was open and dark, enveloping each of them and giving everyone a suffocating feeling.

Under the cover of darkness, an invisible panic is quietly spreading among the crowd.

A series of noisy commotions came from outside.

"The spirit is coming!"

Everyone held their breath, stiffly turned their heads, and looked at the wall.

In the crowd, a middle-aged villager swallowed hard: "Can we really make it here?"

His eyes were filled with fear and unease.

The big guys are sleeping in the darkness outside, and the only barrier blocking the monsters is this wall in front of them!

If the monsters breach this wall, they will have nowhere to hide.

If they hadn't taken shelter here, they would have had nowhere safe to go tonight.

At least they have the eldest son of the Shen family, a wooden puppet cultivator, here to provide them with protection.

Just as everyone was on tenterhooks, they noticed that the monsters outside did not seem to approach the wall.

Or rather, they didn't even have a chance to get close to the wall!

at this time.

Suddenly, everyone heard footsteps approaching. They turned around and saw a figure striding out of the Shen family's courtyard.

It was tall and upright, and walked steadily and powerfully. It walked step by step towards them and soon stopped not far away.

He then stood there silently, two crimson lights flashing on his face.

"Shen Yi sent a wooden puppet to protect us!"

"I saw this wooden puppet today. It's incredibly powerful; it's the ones who captured Liu Wanhe!"

"With it here, we don't have to worry about spirits harming us. Shen Yi is truly so kind!"

"What time is it now? You're still calling him by his first name! You should call him Village Chief!"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault for not correcting myself right away, it was a slip of the tongue!"

Upon seeing the Level 4 wooden puppet soldier arrive beside them, the villagers, upon learning of its formidable strength, felt a sense of security and began to discuss it with joy.

At the same time, they also vaguely heard the sounds of swords clashing outside the wall.

"The village chief's wooden puppet is fighting monsters outside, protecting our safety. Everyone can relax tonight. Those who didn't get enough rest today should get some rest."

Mo Guanhai's voice rang out.

Although everyone was still a little nervous, they were much more relaxed than before.

On the Yinmu Arrow Tower.

Shen Yi placed his hands on the handrails, clearly observing the villagers' every move.

He continued to shift his gaze, looking beyond the wall.

The monsters were making far less noise tonight, so it seemed there wouldn't be much to gain.

His level 2 wooden puppet soldiers alone were enough to keep the monsters outside at least ten meters away from the wall, preventing them from advancing any further.

Not to mention sending a level 4 wooden golem to fight.

"But if there's no opportunity, I can create one!"

Suddenly, Shen Yi thought of one of his creations, the Shadow Lantern!

The Shadow Lantern is used to attract the Fog Shadow Monster.

What if we hang the Shadow Lantern on a level 4 Wooden Golem and then let the Wooden Golem go for a stroll outside?

Since level 4 wooden golems have nothing to do anyway, they might as well just sit around doing nothing.

The moment the idea formed in Shen Yi's mind, he immediately began to put it into action.

The cost of one Shadow Lantern is 3 Fog Shadow Stones.

He currently has 134 Fogstones.

They temporarily created three shadow lanterns and hung them on the wooden puppet soldiers.

One summoning lamp has already been crafted and its durability on the weapon rack has been restored, so it can continue to be used.

Shen Yi had no intention of upgrading it to level 2.

After all, tonight is just an experiment.

No matter how powerful the Shadow Lantern is, it only works on Shadow Monsters. If there are no Shadow Monsters nearby, all this effort will be in vain.

Shen Yi crafted three Shadow Lanterns, then took out the Shadow Lanterns that were placed on the weapon rack to restore their durability, and hung them around the necks of four level 4 wooden puppet soldiers.

An instruction was then issued.

"Patrol within a 20-meter radius of the perimeter wall!"

Wooden golems cannot understand the names of spirits or monsters, nor do they try to distinguish them.

Therefore, he directly issued a patrol order. If any Fog Shadow Monsters were attracted by the Shadow Lantern and approached, the Wooden Golem's "Target Acquisition" ability would take effect.

Shen Yi didn't dare let them go too far.

After all, the wooden golems don't pick up loot; they only care about the target once they're confirmed dead. So tomorrow, he'll have to personally go outside and check if there are any slain shadow monsters.

If you're too far away, it's hard to find out exactly where the Shadow Monster you killed died.

Shen Yi left only a level 4 wooden puppet soldier to guard the villagers, in case of any accidents or to prevent monsters from breaking in and harming them.

This is, in a sense, his human capital, and he cannot afford to lose it easily.

The other four level 4 wooden golems followed his orders and went to patrol outside the wall.

"We'll check on the harvest tomorrow."

Hopefully, I can catch a Fog Shadow Monster.

Shen Yi let out a soft breath, feeling refreshed, and turned to walk towards the backyard.

He first went to the vegetable garden.

All four vegetable plots are now at level 6.

However, only 4 red eggplant plants mutated.

The first mutated red eggplant plant has matured, and three fruits have produced 13 seeds.

Currently, each mutated fruit contains only four or five seeds.

A typical red eggplant contains up to twenty or thirty seeds, but this number varies greatly after mutation.

Shen Yi had already planted the seeds earlier.

After being irrigated daily with water from a level 4 well, the area where 13 mutated red eggplant seeds were planted in the vegetable garden has sprouted tender shoots and is growing rapidly.

[Mutant Red Eggplant - Tier 1 Spirit Plant]

Maturity period: 14%

[Effects: Strengthens Qi and Blood]

The "Growth with Level 4 Wells" trait allows the mutated red tomato fruit to rapidly grow and mature within twenty days!

The quality of the "growth" trait is green, which is much stronger than the white trait!

As long as this well exists, Shen Yi will be able to obtain fruits and vegetables in a continuous and rapid manner.

Common wild vegetables can mature in ten days when irrigated by a well!

Moreover, ordinary wild vegetables cannot withstand daily irrigation from a level 4 well; they can only be irrigated once every four days, and even then, the effect is already terrifying.

"We also need to find an opportunity to upgrade the well. Although upgrading it to level 5 will not produce a third characteristic, the effects of the existing two characteristics will be further enhanced."

Its effect on promoting crop growth is even more pronounced.

Shen Yi looked at the thirteen seedlings of mutated red eggplant.

At the current growth rate, this batch of seedlings will all mature in just seventeen or eighteen days.

At that time, there will be at least 52 mutated red eggplant seeds.

After repeating this process, they were soon able to eat the mutated red tomato fruit as a staple food.

[Mutant Red Eggplant - Tier 1 Spirit Plant]

Maturity period: 99%

[Effects: Strengthens Qi and Blood]

Shen Yi turned his gaze to the second mutated red eggplant and found that its ripening cycle was about to be completed. Three more mutated red eggplants would ripen tomorrow!

He set about upgrading this vegetable garden.

With a whoosh, a full 1500 Soul Wood were consumed!

Shen Yi gritted his teeth, enduring the physical exertion of upgrading the vegetable garden.

My vision was blurry.

He seemed to be using some mysterious method to perfectly blend the Yin Soul Wood with this vegetable garden, making them one with each other!

The vegetable garden contains the powerful energy of the Yin Soul Wood!

The soil began to churn deep within.

Soon, the soil in this vegetable garden became noticeably more fertile and softer than before.

Its color was surprisingly lustrous and smooth, as delicate as cream!

A natural fragrance wafts from the soil, not pungent at all, but rather refreshing and delightful!

A moment later, the upgrade process for the vegetable garden was finally completed.

The vegetable garden in front of us has been completely transformed.

It's as if it's consciously gathering nutrients together and then distributing them to every crop planted within.

Shen Yi couldn't wait to check the attribute effects after the vegetable garden was upgraded to level 7.

[Vegetable Garden - Level 7]

[Function: Growing crops]

【Characteristics: Fertile (white, greatly accelerates the growth rate of all crops planted in the vegetable garden, and has a very high probability of mutation, slowly restoring fertility), Increased Yield (white, significantly increases the yield of all crops planted in the vegetable garden), Ripening (green, can collect ripening essence once a day, can ripen any crop growing in the vegetable garden, the essence cannot be accumulated after it is full)】

【Durability: 100/100】

New green features!

Force ripening!

Shen Yi's breathing slowed slightly, and a look of great joy appeared on his face!
