I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 70 "As expected of the Mountain God."

It lay on the ground, like a breathing, dark green hill.

What's most intimidating is its size.

It was several times longer than an ordinary crocodile, and its rough scales were like ancient rocks weathered by time, layer upon layer.

As the crocodile slowly approached, Zhou Mo and the others subconsciously held their breath and tensed up slightly. The crocodile seemed to be much more intimidating than the leader of the Hanging Ghost Clan; it was a kind of physical fear based on its size.

No one is unafraid of a mountain climbing towards them.

It's not just scary for kids, even adults would cry if they saw it.

"As expected of the mountain god."

Chen Fan took a deep breath, not avoiding the crocodile's gaze, and took out a level 2 strange stone from his pocket and threw it out again. It seemed that the other party was a little disgusted that the strange stone he fed was too low-grade.

In that case, he won't be able to feed him for a long time.

He can't afford to feed the level 2 Mystic Stone.

next moment--

The crystal-clear, eerie green stone traced an arc through the air before striking the crocodile's flat head with pinpoint accuracy.

The crocodile was initially taken aback, as if in disbelief, before reacting. Its eyes revealed anger and sadness, and after letting out a whimper, it turned and quickly crawled into the darkness.

He only heard the crocodile roar twice.

The first time was when the crocodile roared fiercely from below the cliff, its loud voice drowning out the sound of the rain and deafening.

The second time was this time.

The sound was extremely faint.

If you don't listen carefully, you might not even hear it, just like a bullied child.

"and many more!"

Chen Fan instinctively tried to stop it, but the crocodile seemed to understand and actually stopped and turned to look at him again, a hint of expectation appearing in its huge pupils as it stared straight at Chen Fan.

"."

He vaguely guessed the source of the expectation in the crocodile's eyes, then looked down at the hot food on the table. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a chicken leg from the hot dish and tentatively threw it over the city wall.

next moment!
"Boom boom boom"

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

He saw the crocodile charging straight toward the city wall like a tank, and then suddenly stopping just before it crashed into the wall. It first looked up and cautiously stared at Chen Fan for a moment, before carefully and gently using the sharp claws at the front of its claws to grab the chicken leg and put it into its mouth.

The eyelids slowly closed.

He lay there, his eyes filled with amazement and enjoyment.

Followed by.

He opened his eyes again.

He opened his blood-red mouth, revealing thick, worn teeth like rows of piles. A glistening line of water dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes once again showed anticipation. His two lantern-sized eyes looked up at Chen Fan, who was standing on the city wall.

Its tail wagged awkwardly and ingratiatingly.

The ground made a thumping sound when it was slapped.

"."

Chen Fan remained silent, expressionless. He hadn't expected that this guy would actually not eat the strange stones, but would really eat meat, and it seemed that he preferred hot and flavorful meat to cold, strange corpses.

No wonder it stopped as soon as I called it; it must have smelled something.

He then took a deep breath.

Qi Chong.

"exist!"

"Set up a fire and roast all the monster corpses we've collected at the camp these past few days. Let it have a good meal tonight." "Roger that!"

A strange corpse, emitting a burnt smell, was thrown from the city wall.

With its mouth wide open the whole time, the crocodile moved with an agility completely disproportionate to its size, slightly poking out its head to precisely snatch the piece of meat, tilting its head back to swallow it whole. Then it let out a satisfied, muffled gurgling sound, opened its mouth again, and looked longingly at the city wall, waiting for the next piece.

"Gone."

"You ate it all, even the landlord's family has no surplus grain."

Chen Fan spread his hands helplessly and looked at the crocodile lying outside the city. He sighed. The first half of the night had passed, and they hadn't stopped roasting meat at all. All the monster corpses they had collected in the camp over the past few days had been roasted and fed to this guy.

However, this guy's stomach was like a bottomless pit; he could never get enough to eat.

The crocodile's flat mouth, which had been open the whole time, finally slowly closed. A hint of doubt flashed in its eyes as it looked at Chen Fan standing on the city wall. Then, as if it had thought of something, it turned around quickly without pausing and disappeared into the darkness.

"It's definitely not a ghost."

Standing on the city wall, Wang Kui watched the crocodile's disappearing figure and sighed, "Strange creatures wouldn't behave so obediently towards humans, except for the pseudo-human monster. But even ordinary wild beasts don't have this size, let alone such a big appetite. It's strange, and I wonder what it is."

Chen Fan shook his head and did not offer any opinion.

“But I do know why this crocodile is so angry about you throwing the strange stone at it, stationmaster,” Zhou Mo said quietly, touching his nose. “If it can’t digest the strange stone, then the strange stone is just excrement to it.”

"equivalent to"

"Throwing shit at someone can indeed be quite infuriating."

“But it wasn’t angry; it ran away crying,” Wang Mazi said with a light cough.

"He's too timid, he doesn't even dare to vent his anger, he seems like a child."

"and many more!"

The lame monkey suddenly realized something and looked at Chen Fan: "Young Master, if it can't digest the strange stone, doesn't that mean there are many unclaimed strange stones on the mountain?"

"That's possible, but it's highly likely that other monsters will pick it up and swallow it. It doesn't eat the monster stones, but other monsters probably will."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, pondering the matter.

He had only been in this world for a short time.

A monkey-headed monster leader died outside the camp area, and his body was still there when dawn broke. The monster stone was not dug up by other monsters. Perhaps it is because other monsters subconsciously do not approach the territory of monsters that exude a powerful aura. Monsters should also have a certain sense of territory.

He stopped thinking about it and looked out of the city: "Go to sleep, everyone. We have to keep working tomorrow. You don't need to keep watch in the second half of the night."

"The city walls have been upgraded to level 3, so there shouldn't be any problems for now. Everyone can get a good night's sleep tonight."

at this time--

"boom."

The sound of the strange creature falling off the cliff came again from the bottom of the valley.

Followed by.

The sounds of countless eerie creatures crashing down the cliff, like firecrackers, echoed continuously—ten, fifty, a hundred, several hundred.
One after another, the strange objects plummeted off the cliff like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

It was more intense than the previous nights.

Even more violent.

The event lasted for the duration of an incense stick. The bottom of the cliff was piled high with the corpses of strange creatures, numbering at least five or six hundred at a glance. Chen Fan, standing on the city wall, even faintly saw white light flashing among the corpses—the light of a rare treasure!
The crowd stood stiffly on the city wall, their faces blank, watching this scene unfold.

Until the earth-shaking commotion came from the canyon passage, a huge crocodile rushed out of the darkness, came to its old spot under the city wall, lay down on the ground, opened its blood-red maw again, and looked expectantly at Chen Fan standing on the city wall.

Saliva dripped from between his teeth and fell to the ground.

Its tail patted excitedly and ingratiatingly from side to side on the ground.

Splashes of rain mist rose up.
