I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 54 "Exaggeration, exaggeration!!"

The arrow towers on the city wall began to roar.

One crossbow bolt after another cleaved through the rain, accurately striking the "hanging ghosts" that had entered the camp's perimeter.

Fall down.

Get up.

Split.

The Mourning Ghosts continued to split and multiply, with more and more Mourning Ghosts emerging from the gray fog outside the camp and entering the camp.

It wasn't fast, but its appearance was eerie, and there were many of them. In addition, it didn't make any roars or anything, but the sound of raindrops mixed in made it feel extremely oppressive.

"."

Chen Fan frowned and stood on the city wall looking out of the camp. The ghostly figures of the mourning spirits came from all directions and gradually filled the entire camp. He felt that his two farmlands might not survive the night.

If it were surrounded by mountains on three sides, we could just build a wall on one side; that would reduce the pressure considerably.

But that's obviously impossible.

The village of the big fish was destroyed by strange creatures that jumped into the village from the cliffs on all sides.

The king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity.

next moment--

A flash of white light appeared on the top of the three-arrow tower beside him, and "Arrow Rain Storm" was activated. A sky full of crossbow bolts shot into the air, and like bamboo spikes, they covered the area in front of the city wall.

Clear out a blank area.

The body of the Hanging Ghost is relatively weak; a single crossbow bolt that hits a vital spot can kill it.

However, the ability to split completely makes up for this shortcoming.

"Boom."

At this moment, a ghostly figure, who had walked to the front, arrived at the foot of the city wall. Its face was deathly pale and expressionless. It picked up the white lantern in its hand and smashed it heavily against the city wall.

Put it down, lift it up, and swing it out again.

When he swung it for the third time, a crossbow bolt pierced his forehead.

The moment it fell, the light of the white lantern in its hand dimmed completely and stopped splitting.

Chen Fan leaned out from the city wall and looked at the wall that had been struck twice. There were two palm-sized holes, but they did not affect the foundation of the wall. The wall was 3 meters thick. He would knock slowly, and he would have to knock enough to destroy it.

but.
As more and more ghostly figures emerged, they passed through the arrow rain defense line and arrived at the foot of the city wall, smashing their white lanterns against the bluestone wall, creating more and more holes in it.

in all directions.

The camp was surrounded in the middle.

Looking around...

The ghosts even lined up in the gray fog outside the camp. Because of their large numbers, the ghosts moved slowly and didn't crowd, but they were packed in the gray fog outside the camp like a traffic jam. There were obviously more ghosts in the eternal night outside the gray fog.

"The intensity has increased."

Chen Fan looked at the group of mourning ghosts outside the city with a slightly solemn expression. There was good news and bad news.

Good news: The mourning ghost is quite well-behaved. It's not in a hurry or rushing, and it didn't step on its companions' heads to climb the city wall. It's a well-behaved ghost.

The bad news: there are just too many of them, and the city walls are being destroyed bit by bit.

Fortunately, he left behind enough strange stones.

845 strange stones are enough to get through the night.

next moment--

The four city walls transformed into a phantom image of a city wall structure composed of white lines, a scene that only he could see.
-
"Seven Mysterious Stones are needed for this restoration."
-
"repair."

As the phantom of the building solidified again, the broken white lines reconnected, and the craters that had been smashed into the city wall by the ghostly figure instantly and rapidly healed.

He roughly understood the repair logic.

The less damage to the city wall, the lower the repair cost.

The more severe the damage, the higher the repair cost.

When damage exceeds a certain level, the cost of repair can even exceed the cost of rebuilding.

On the city wall.

The lame monkey and his companions tied spears, broadswords, and other weapons to the tops of wooden sticks and repeatedly thrust them downwards. These monsters were of relatively low level; even ordinary weapons could inflict some damage on them, though certainly not the instant kill effect of a crossbow bolt.

Chen Fan turned to look at the "altar" in the camp, a structure used to heal injuries. He felt that the principle behind it should be universal.

The "strange stone" he used to repair the city wall.

The "mysterious stone" is also used to repair injuries.

Theoretically, that altar should be able to repair the city walls, right?

The theory was established, and it was put into practice.

Today's free allowance has been used up.

As several strange stones were crushed, phantom images of "copper pipes" appeared in the camp and solidified on the ground, neatly arranged like an assembly line factory, connecting the altar and the city wall.

"Click."

A faint, crisp sound could be heard.

A milky white liquid flowed from the altar, traveling along the copper pipes all the way to the base of the city wall.

"Boom."

Just as a ghostly figure carrying a white lantern slammed it down on the city wall, creating a crater, it quickly repaired itself before it could swing it again.

"It's done!"

Standing on the city wall, Chen Fan peeked out at the scene, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. It actually worked! This meant that as long as there were enough strange stones in the altar, his city wall would automatically repair itself.

No manual operation is required.

Moreover, he sensed that the rate at which the strange stones in the altar were being consumed was even lower than the rate at which they were being artificially repaired.

He then forged another copper pipe to connect the altar to the ghostly fire.

In this way, the altar will consume the strange stones in the strange fire. He only needs to ensure that there are enough strange stones in the strange fire, without having to travel back and forth.

He named it
"Automatic wall repair system"

Unless a strange creature can blast the city wall down with a single blow, he will be invincible until the strange stones are exhausted.

at this time--

"boom"

The sound of the wall collapsing could be heard.

That is
The wall of the "breeding farm" collapsed.

The fake demons in the breeding farm rushed out like wild horses, mingling with the mourning demons, and squeezed towards the city wall.

"how come?"

Chen Fan frowned. He was preparing to extend the copper pipes of the altar to the wall of the breeding farm. With the attack intensity of the Hanging Ghost, how could the city wall collapse so quickly?

Followed by.

He understood why.

The big guys are here.

Outside the camp's gray mist, an old, hunched-over ghost stood holding a ghostly green lantern, its eyes lifeless. Other ghosts would walk around it, creating a small blank area that looked quite conspicuous.

Don't wait for a reaction.

The ghostly figure raised its eerie green lantern once more.

A beam of eerie green light, as thick as an arm, shot out and struck the other side of the farm's wall with pinpoint accuracy. The three-meter-thick wall immediately developed a deep crater. Then, another beam of eerie green light shot out, and the wall slowly collapsed.

It was reduced to ruins.

"Exaggeration, exaggeration!!"

Chen Fan's face turned pale and his breathing became increasingly rapid. He once again felt the despair that night when the "flesh worm tide" attacked. That guy, two beams of green light could completely destroy a city wall.

Even if his city walls repair themselves, there aren't enough strange stones for him to repair them.

He needs time to think.

But this guy's eerie green lantern doesn't think; another eerie green light accurately hit another wall of the farm.
