: Victory!

Chapter 81: Victory!

"After this period of slow accumulation, the number of Yin Soul Wood has reached 14885."

Shen Yi rushed to the Yinmu Arrow Tower.

Looking at the number of Yin Soul Wood in the collection column, he finally felt much more at ease.

During this period, apart from the necessary basic building expenses, he did not use the Yin Soul Wood to upgrade anything, and slowly accumulated this amount.

This batch of Yin Soul Wood is enough for him to forge eight more Level 4 Wooden Puppet Soldiers!

You can also upgrade the walls to withstand more attacks from the monsters.

"We absolutely cannot let these vengeful spirits break through our defenses. If even one person dies, all the resources I've invested in them over this period will have been wasted!"

Shen Yi's gaze darkened.

Every day, he had Guan Yue brew monster meat soup for everyone in the territory to nourish their bodies.

Today, they even gave each of Liao Ning and his group two ounces of monster meat from the monsters they had hunted.

This time, we mustn't let them harm his people.

Looking at the raging torrential rain before him, Shen Yi first used six hundred pieces of Yin Soul Wood to forge a batch of Level 1 Yin Wood Spears!

"Distribute spears to everyone; these are much more effective against monsters than their swords, spears, and clubs!"

The knives, spears, and clubs used by the villagers are at most made of ebony, which is barely enough to deal with lantern ghosts, let alone high-level first-tier ghosts like the Abyss Ghost.

Although the batch of Yin Wood Spears he crafted was only level 1, they were still far superior to their weapons!

Shen Yi could only forge a level 1 Yin Wood Spear for these people to replace their old weapons.

If he upgrades to a higher level, his material consumption will be extremely high.

This was originally planned for the future, once the power had grown stronger, all the people in the territory would become soldiers!

The arrival of ghosts and monsters today has brought this plan forward.

Knowing the situation was urgent, Shen Kun grabbed the Yinmu spear and braved the torrential rain to reach the wall.

"Quick! Your weapons aren't enough to deal with the monsters. Everyone come here right now and take a spear from me! This was made by my eldest brother; it's incredibly effective against monsters!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered around and began to distribute the Yin Wood Spears.

Ignoring the torrential rain, everyone quickly grabbed a long spear made of dark wood.

Feeling the solid texture of the spear and knowing that it was a weapon that could be used to deal with monsters, everyone felt a little more at ease and reassured.

Shen Yi continued to busy himself upgrading his equipment.

He asked Shen Yuan and Guan Yue to take out some of the Deep Black Arrows they had collected during this period.

Upgrade all one thousand ordinary Deep Black Arrows to Level 1!

[Shadow Wood Longbow - Level 6]

[Function: Archery]

【Special Features: Aim (White, greatly increases accuracy), Rapid Fire (White, greatly increases rate of fire)】

【Durability: 96/100】

Looking at the Yin Wood Longbow, which hadn't been upgraded in a long time, Shen Yi immediately upgraded it to level 7.

Besides wooden golems, which can deal with spirits, bows and arrows are another means for them to deal with spirits.

Especially now that a large number of Deep Black Arrows have been upgraded.

Adding one more useful trait to the Great Bow would be of great help to them.

The Yin Wood Longbow, which was already at level 6, suddenly consumed 1 unit of its Yin Soul Wood upon reaching level 7.

000!

[Shadow Wood Longbow - Level 7]

[Function: Archery]

【Characteristics: Aim (white, greatly increases accuracy), Rapid Fire (white, greatly increases rate of fire), Yin Sha Burst (white, slightly increases effective range and damage, can deal additional Yin attribute damage to spirits)】

【Durability: 100/100】

The third characteristic is simply white, which increases both range and damage.

Shen Yi had previously tested the range of the Yin Wood Longbow, which reached 500 meters. This upgrade is estimated to increase it to eight.

Hundreds of meters or even further.

In addition, it has the advantage of rapid firing.

His Yin Wood Longbow is as powerful as a firearm!

What's even more terrifying is its aiming capability.

"If the evil spirits dare to come tonight, they won't be leaving!"

With a sense of certainty, Shen Yi then upgraded all of Shen Yuan's and the others' Yin Wood Longbows to level 7!

The quantity of Yin Soul Wood immediately increased to nine thousand!

"Go outside the wall and stand guard!"

Shen Yi quickly issued commands to the five level 4 wooden puppet soldiers.

at the same time.

Huang Dahu’s roar could be faintly heard from the rainy night.

Only a few words could be faintly heard.

"—Here it comes!"

Shen Yi and the others immediately looked out, but even though it was a rainy night, they should have been unable to see anything.

However, inside the Yinmu Arrow Tower, their "vision" attribute plays a huge role!

Despite the torrential rain, they were able to get a clear view of the area within a 300-meter radius of the Yinmu Arrow Tower!

Crackling crackling crackling!!

In the darkness in the distance, a group of eerie black figures lay prone on the ground, their limbs flailing as they charged wildly toward their territory!

They have human limbs, and their skin blends seamlessly with the darkness, being a somber color.

Its facial features were extremely blurry, and it kept screaming.

This is a malevolent spirit!?

Shen Yi's pupils contracted.

In no time at all, they had rushed to the front of the territory and were close to the wall!

A huge quantity!

No fewer than 300!

The level 2 wooden golems, which were deliberately placed outside, activated their "target acquisition" mechanism when they sensed a stronger threat approaching, instantly shifting their target to the evil spirit.

They silently raised their long swords and charged towards the evil spirits!

"They've really come! How can they look so terrifying?"

Huang Dahu gripped the Yin Wood Spear tightly in his hand, swallowed hard, and thought about how to liven up the atmosphere.

However, it's clear that he didn't liven things up enough.

Liao Ning and his group ignored them completely.

"The village chief's wooden puppet soldiers are fighting with the evil spirits!"

The next moment, through blurred vision, someone saw a scene of fierce battle between the evil spirits and the wooden puppet soldiers.

The once powerful and mysterious wooden puppet soldiers were now being suppressed by the evil spirits and were being forced to retreat in defeat, which greatly alarmed them.

Those who had bows and arrows immediately drew their bows and fired at the evil spirit.

however.

Their training during this period was clearly not up to par.

The deep black arrow landed on the evil spirit as if it were soft and powerless, and was easily deflected by it.

Every arrow touched by the evil spirit instantly rotted and shattered into a pile of broken wood chips!

Their offensive appeared weak and utterly threatening in the face of this horde of malevolent spirits!

Upon seeing this, everyone's faces turned pale.

"Kill these bastards!"

Liao Ning gritted his teeth, his longbow already at the ready. He aimed at the approaching horde of malevolent spirits and fired an arrow that pierced the air, aiming at one of the spirits!

The great bow in her hand was different from the others; it was a Yin Wood longbow with the characteristic of "aiming".

The deep black arrow seemed to have eyes, hitting the evil ghost's head with perfect accuracy!

puff! !

The arrow pierced through instantly, leaving only the fletching trembling slightly outside.

"I won!!"

Huang Dahu and his group noticed this scene and exclaimed in surprise.

However, the next second, the attacked evil spirit only let out a scream or two before the deep black arrow that had penetrated its head shattered into pieces.

Ordinary Deep Black Arrows simply cannot withstand the power of the evil spirit!

Even if it hits the target, it will quickly shatter into dust.

As the evil ghost continued to charge, the joy that had just appeared on everyone's faces instantly froze.

"The attack is still effective! Quick, give the wooden golems fire support, or they won't be able to hold out!"

As the wooden puppet soldiers were being overwhelmed by the evil spirits, Liao Ning's voice urged them on.

Huang Dahu and his men didn't have time to think, and they kept shooting out their Dark Black Arrows!

Despite their arms aching and numb from the bowstring, they gritted their teeth and persevered without stopping for a moment!

Whoosh whoosh—

A barrage of arrows whistled through the air!

It did have some effect, forcing the advancing evil spirits to slow down under the rain of arrows.

Although the Deep Black Arrows cannot cause fatal damage to them, they will still be affected if they are hit.

the other side.

Inside Wang Shaohui's room.

"The vengeful spirit has arrived already? So quickly?"

Hearing the shouts coming from outside, Ye Shubai and the others' expressions changed slightly.

He looked at his aunt Zhao Manjun, who was inside the house breaking the curse on the three people, and whispered, "Auntie, I'll go out and help."

"Go ahead, there shouldn't be any second-tier evil spirits appearing tonight, otherwise their defenses would have collapsed long ago."

Zhao Manjun waved her hand without turning her head; she couldn't get away right now, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The curse from the evil spirit was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

"You're coming with me too!"

Ye Shubai nodded and looked at the group of guards.

After receiving instructions from Zhao Manjun, they immediately followed Ye Shubai into the rain and headed towards the wall to provide reinforcements.

Soon, only Zhao Manjun, the girl in brocade, and four guards waiting outside remained.

"Yinghe".

"I am here!"

"The celestial anomaly tonight was originally caused by the thing in the coffin, but unexpectedly it has inadvertently nourished these evil spirits, bringing with it a clash of malevolent energies, which may give the thing in the coffin a chance to awaken."

A vague unease flashed through Zhao Manjun's heart. She quickly said, "Take some people to check the condition of the coffin immediately. Make sure the seal is secure and that nothing inside escapes!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master!"

The girl in brocade agreed, but then her expression changed as she remembered the terrifying presence inside the coffin. She went outside, called the two guards, and hurriedly left.

The room fell silent again.

"Is this just a coincidence?"

Zhao Manjun murmured to herself, "Could it really be rigor mortis acting up, deliberately trying to escape with the help of evil spirits during tonight's celestial changes?"

Logically speaking, it's extremely rare for an evil spirit to cast a curse on a person, but if it was premeditated—

Shen Manjun's heart skipped a beat.

If that's the case, then this rigor mortis is definitely not simple.

However, considering that it was merely a second-tier cadaver, it shouldn't possess such intelligence and cunning.

Despite thinking this, Shen Manjun still sped up the process of dispelling the curse, casting spells to force out the strange curse power within Wang Shaohui and the other two.

Yinmu Arrow Tower.

"Don't let a single one escape! Kill them all!"

Shen Yi coldly shouted.

Shen Yuan and the others picked up the Yin Wood Longbows and unleashed a barrage of machine gun fire!

In an instant.

Arrows, darker and more resilient than ordinary dark black arrows, streaked into the night sky.

It fell towards the outside of the wall with tremendous force!

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!*

A rain of arrows fell with astonishing force!

As the arrow struck the evil spirit, a surge of malevolent energy swept across it, forcefully piercing through the spirit!

Yin energy burst forth!

The evil spirit was unable to destroy the incoming arrows for a time.

"ah!!!!"

Screams echoed throughout.

They darted about wildly, attempting to pounce and destroy the arrows.

However, it was no longer as easy as facing ordinary Deep Black Arrows.

It would take them much longer to barely destroy a level 1 Deep Black Arrow.

This scene caught the attention of Huang Dahu and his companions. Seeing the evil spirits pacing around like ants on a hot plate, they quickly realized what was happening and turned to look at the Yinmu Arrow Tower.

"It was the village chief and his men who made the move!"

However, the speed at which the arrows flew could not match the speed of the evil spirit's short-distance dash!

They simply ignored the terrifying arrows coming at them, instead emitting bursts of black smoke from their bodies and dragging their wounded bodies toward the wall.

Sure enough, two or three evil spirits managed to get to the foot of the wall!

The spirit runes on the wall came into play, releasing a scorching light to block them!

【Durability rating: 99, 98, 97 ————】

However, with only the defensive capabilities of a level 1 wall, its durability is rapidly decreasing.

"Maintain formation! Fight with all your might!"

Liao Ning's eyes flashed, and he swayed on the wall, grabbing a spear and thrusting it at a vicious ghost!

puff!

Instantly, a malevolent ghost that tried to leap up was pierced through the skull by her.

Seeing this, the group joined forces and formed a spear formation, successfully killing and killing the approaching evil spirits in a short time!

Ye Shubai and the others arrived quickly and were taken aback by what they saw.

I never expected that the people of Black Mountain Village could actually deal with a first-tier high-level ghost?

He quickly shouted, "Send reinforcements over!"

Clang! Clang!

The guards drew their swords and charged forward with overwhelming momentum.

"Open the gate and go outside to meet the attack!"

Liao Ning and the others turned around, saw that it was them, and nodded immediately.

With the arrival of a powerful force to provide support, the monsters near the wall were quickly wiped out.

The evil spirits' offensive appeared to be losing momentum.

Meanwhile.

Shen Yi and his men's arrows had already formed a continuous rain of arrows, aimed at the evil ghost!

Whoosh whoosh—

The evil spirits died instantly under the rain of arrows!

"That strong in combat?"

Ye Shubai turned back to look at the Yinmu Arrow Tower in disbelief.

Shen Yi and his group are comparable to the town's carefully trained archer squad!

In the blink of an eye, the original three hundred or so evil spirits were reduced to only a dozen or so!

A few seconds later.

These dozen or so evil spirits also fell to the ground under the rain of arrows from Shen Yi and his companions.

"We've killed all the evil spirits?!"

The villagers looked at the corpses of the evil spirits scattered on the ground and confirmed that none of them had survived.

A first-tier high-level spirit, is that all?

I waited a little longer.

They realized that no trace of the evil spirits had reappeared.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"go back."

Ye Shubai clicked his tongue; he hadn't even had a chance to properly display his power yet.

This battle ended so quickly.

But it's good that the crisis has been resolved.

This was undoubtedly a resounding victory!

The group turned back into their territory.

He walked towards where Zhao Manjun was, preparing to report the situation to her.

However, just as they approached the residential area, a sudden change occurred.

A sharp black line suddenly flashed across the face of the guard walking ahead.

*Pfft*

next moment.

His entire head was neatly sliced ​​off, and his expression froze!
