I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 11 "Good stuff!"

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Chen Fan looked at the lame monkey holding a spear to the side.

"No."

The lame monkey shook his head, panting heavily with lingering fear: "Young master, this monster is at least level 3. If it weren't for these two arrow towers, we might have died here today."

"Get to work."

He didn't say much, but simply gestured for the lame monkey to throw the trap into the darkness to prepare for tonight's hunt.

Now that the big guy has been driven away, we can get to work normally tonight.

Arrow towers can only attack monsters within the range of the wraith fire. They are good for defense, but not so good for active attacks.

About an hour passed.

Chen Fan frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "I don't think we'll get anything tonight. Let's go back to our rooms and get some sleep. We'll talk about it again when it gets light."

An hour passed, and not a single animal trap was activated.

Not a single monkey-headed ghost could be seen.

Something's not right here. I don't know if all the monkey demons around here have been killed, or if they were called away by that big guy from earlier.

He knew too little about what was happening in the eternal night.

Especially since he doesn't understand many things about this world, he needs a private tutor and has to find a way to bring one over; intelligence is extremely important.

He had just made five bear traps, but before he could even start using them, he couldn't catch any monsters.

just
Wasn't it said that the monsters in the Eternal Night were endless? Even if we couldn't catch the Monkey Head Ghost, there should be other monsters, right? How come it's completely empty?

In a daze, Chen Fan drifted off to sleep on the bed.

There are also 3 mysterious stones.

If we don't find a way to earn some more Ghost Stones, we won't be able to sustain the Ghost Fire any longer.

The lame monkey slept on a makeshift bed on the floor inside the wooden house.

"Master!"

"Master!"

In a daze, Chen Fan was awakened by the lame monkey's hurried noises.

"what happened?"

Chen Fan rolled out of bed, rubbed his eyes, and walked out of the wooden house. How come the lame monkey always woke up earlier than him? The guy looks thin, but he has much more energy than him.

next moment--

As Chen Fan stepped out of the wooden house, he suddenly grinned.

About ten meters from the camp, the monkey-headed ghost from last night was lying quietly on the ground, already dead. It had obviously been seriously injured last night and fled into the darkness. It collapsed on the spot after taking only a few steps.

Several glowing objects were scattered nearby.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the rare treasure that fell down after the monkey-headed ghost died.

The lame monkey stood outside the wooden house, calling out excitedly. It was just dawn, the darkness had only recently faded, and the sky was still dimly lit. It was impossible for anyone to pass by their camp at this time.

"coming!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but smile. He strode over to the monkey-headed ghost, picked up the two glowing items, and stuffed them into his pocket. Luckily, the lame monkey woke up early, or someone else would have taken them.

of course
That's unlikely, since there are very few pedestrians passing by in that area.

"I'm here to dig up the strange stone."

The lame monkey seemed very excited. He took the knife off the stick and began to dissect the monkey.

Normally, low-level ghosts only have one ghost stone inside, but this monkey-headed ghost obviously has more than one ghost stone. After the lame monkey cut open the monkey's brain, it used a knife to dig out one ghost stone after another from the flesh and blood.

The whole process looked like removing tonsil stones, one after another.

Extremely stress-relieving. Soon all the strange stones were dug out and neatly arranged on the ground.

A total of 17!
With the three strange stones he already has, he now has 20 strange stones.

"Good."

Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction: "Collect the corpse of this monkey-headed ghost and put it in the haystack behind the wooden house, together with the other monkey-headed ghost corpses. It might be useful in the future."

Even if it's useless, it should be hidden away first, lest passersby see this obviously unusual monkey-headed ghost corpse and wonder if it dropped something valuable, thus causing unnecessary trouble.

Most monsters do not eat the corpses of their own kind.

Humans cannot eat the corpses of these strange creatures.

Apart from some body parts that could be used as "cremation materials," most of the corpses were burned on the spot.

Only then did he look at the two strange treasures in his hands that were emitting white light.

Any rare treasure.

These are all things that cannot be artificially created, and their value will not be low. In particular, the "Building Replication Stone" treasure dropped by the mother and daughter he killed yesterday has made him very excited about the two treasures in his hands.

"It would be great if it were a rare treasure that could expand territory or continuously generate strange stones."

Chen Fan clasped his hands together and murmured a prayer.

He's a bit short of territory right now.

The safe range of a level 1 ghost fire is 10 meters in diameter. However, after placing the arrow tower, wooden house, and ghost fire within its range, there is not enough space to place a farmland. If the farmland is not placed within the range of the ghost fire, it will be destroyed by the ghost creatures after the eternal night falls.

He could have continued hunting for the strange stones using "beast traps".

But the Monkey Head Ghost didn't appear last night, and his source of the Strange Stones was cut off. Although he had just acquired a considerable amount of Strange Stones, it was unsustainable, and how to obtain Strange Stones in the future was still a problem.

The first rare treasure, like the monkey head mushroom seed, is a seed-type rare treasure.

It is wrapped in a thin film.
-
"Name of the rare item": Seed of the Mysterious Stone Vein.

"Rare Treasure Grade": White.

"Treasure Effect": It needs to be planted in 'farmland', and the maturation cycle is three days. After maturation, it can grow strange stones, which need to be fertilized with the corpses of strange creatures.
-
"nice one!"

Chen Fan laughed. Even if the other treasure was trash, this one alone was a profit. It seemed that the matter of building farmland had to be put on the agenda today.

I wonder how many strange stones I'll get.

Fortunately, he had kept the corpses of those monkey-headed demons, which could now be used as fertilizer.

He looked toward another rare treasure.
-
"Name of the rare treasure": God-Slaying Spear.

"Rare Treasure Grade": White.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": Deals considerable damage to low-level monsters, and can be made larger or smaller as desired.
-
"good."

With a thought, Chen Fan's originally miniature spear instantly grew larger, transforming into an extremely imposing spear. The so-called "size-at-will" only meant that it could only switch between its normal form and miniature version.

It's impossible to make it tens of meters long.

It can be considered a pseudo-sized Ruyi.

It belongs to the category of individual weapons.

It was definitely much more effective than the crude spears they made from sticks and knives.

"Here you go."

Chen Fan tossed the spear into the lame monkey's arms before striding toward the Ghost Fire. Although the lame monkey was a cripple, he was stronger than Chen Fan in both physical fitness and combat experience.

This spear can be even more effective in the hands of the lame monkey.

After returning to camp.

He took a deep breath, placed the 20 strange stones on the ground, and slowly closed his eyes.
