Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

[Congratulations! Your subordinate, Hidden Scale, has successfully advanced to a blue-quality monster—the adaptable and defeated hunter!]

Your subordinate, Hidden Scale, has learned two new skills.

[Quickly Understands: Hidden Scale is extremely intelligent. He always carefully considers your commands and can come up with at least three useful and detailed execution plans. Sometimes, you only need to give him a look, and he can perfectly execute your command.]

[Pursuit: After injuring an enemy or being injured by an enemy, you can lock onto their scent and track them for seven days. When marking an enemy during pursuit, your movement speed increases by 20%. This effect also applies to mounts.]

The defeated knight looked at Hidden Scale. Although this subordinate had completed his advancement with a top-tier purple weapon, the strength of his advancement still seemed to be below yours.

No, that's not all!

The defeated knight suddenly felt a surge of pleasure; the inherited power of the monster ruler surged within him, followed by a new power coursing through his body.

[You gain one of the skills that a monster of your race has learned due to your advancement.]

Li Wu Hui's eyes lit up.

There was an unexpected bonus!

Being able to grasp things quickly is a skill that requires intelligence.

But the saying goes, "Don't doubt new people, and don't use those you doubt."

His orders were sufficient for Yin Lin to carry out properly; he didn't need to continue with micromanagement.

It's more useful to acquire the hunting skill.

If it is triggered simultaneously with the "can fight or retreat" feature, that's a full 50% speed boost!

Even purple-quality monsters can't catch him!

The Fallen Knight chose the Pursuit skill, making him even more powerful.

A well-trained, defeated knight.

[Template: Blue Excellent]

【Characteristic: Fight or Retreat: After losing 30% of your health, you can freely choose to increase your attack speed by 30% to continue fighting, or increase your movement speed by 30% to accelerate your retreat (this characteristic also applies to mounts)】

[Skills: Advanced Dark Vision, Weakling Execution, Veteran Soldier, Guerilla Shot, Hunting]

[Supernatural Power - Self-Discipline Wish: Complete monthly self-discipline tasks to make a wish that you can fulfill in your entire life. (Fifteen days of self-discipline training completed)]

[Current Survivor Kills: 96]

[Currently destroyed safe houses: 1]

[Currently intercepted treasures: 11 (Ghost-faced Wood Demon Cloak, Reignited Blade, Cold Jade Knife, fourth piece of the six-piece Protection Set, Mighty Gloves, Whispering Boots, All-Purpose Reins, Horse-Slaying Sword)]

Their strength has improved slightly.

But Li Wu Hui didn't get carried away by this and then do anything unnecessary.

These past few days, he has continued to train for two hours every day under Mei Tingxue's guidance.

However, it's not possible to obtain new treasure chests.

Li Wu Hui was reluctant to discuss his gaming experiences.

Fortunately, Mei Tingxue was very talkative, and Li Wuhui found it very interesting just by talking about the recent situation of the Silver Moon Brigade.

For example, eighteen players of white quality managed to snatch a kill from another guild for a Wood Demon Tiger Driver.

For example, there are strange stories about skilled players with blue-quality characters encountering elven NPCs and receiving healing from them.

Unfortunately, none of these were witnessed by Mei Tingxue herself, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

[5:33 AM, Tuesday, April 7th]

Li Wu Hui drank a bottle of Red Bull to stay awake.

Suddenly, several prompts popped up on the game screen.

The defeated knight was astonished to discover that the white-clad routs sent out today to track the Wood Sprite Tiger Driver had all returned unharmed.

After receiving your instructions, Yinlin immediately stepped forward to inquire and was able to clearly recount the information he had seen and heard.

[My Lord, these defeated white soldiers seem to have become much smarter. After being wounded, they first fled to a nearby burrow in the bushes, and only after it was safe did they quietly return to the burrow where you were.]

[Hidden Scale reported excitedly to the defeated knight.]

At that moment, the defeated knight also suddenly felt a mysterious power, and the cave he was in seemed to suddenly become much warmer and more habitable.

[Congratulations, Monster Player! By enslaving monsters to work, you have successfully turned the area around 21 bush burrows in the Great Creek Forest region into the territory of the Defeated.]

[You have built a gray-quality monster lair—Whispers of the Fallen: Any Fallen monster you have trained will prioritize fleeing to Whispers of the Fallen when wounded.]

[Dark Regeneration (Gray): Lost monsters recover faster by 50%]

[Monster Nest Characteristics: White-quality defeated monsters can exchange information through whispers within different Whispering Caves]

Even the weakest and most mindless monsters, once they have a unified settlement, you can establish a foundation of order for them.

[Progress in implementing the second secret phrase +10%]

Current completion rate: 60%

Monster's Lair!

So, even monsters have their own safe houses?

Li Wu Hui was somewhat surprised.

He thought monsters were chaotic beings that lived in the wild and would attack survivors in a frenzy.

However, monster lairs are different from survivors' safe houses.

The survivor's safe house belongs to the individual.

A monster's lair, belonging to a group of monsters!

So perhaps the Wood Demon Tiger Drivers also have their own monster lairs.

Those even more powerful monsters are hiding there!

Thinking of this, Li Wu Hui became somewhat worried again.

It's just a gray-quality monster lair.

The effects and features are quite good.

Those monster lairs of the wood demon tiger drivers must be ridiculously strong!

No, I need to upgrade the monster lair too.

Only in this way can we have the means to protect ourselves.

Click on the entry.

The Whispers of the Defeated Burrow

[Current Status: Twenty-one shallow caves, hidden by dense bushes, dark and damp inside. In places bathed in light, their unique shadows soothe the lingering fear of defeated soldiers, drawing them instinctively back for a moment's respite.]

[Promotion Requirements: Expand the monster territory by more than three times, and simultaneously, the strength of the defeated monsters residing within it must also increase by three times! (Only gray defeated monsters are required)]

[After meeting the requirements, it will take one day to transform and upgrade to a white-quality monster lair (the time can be shortened by consuming Domination Points)]

Triple your territory and monster strength!

Li Wu Hui frowned; this was no easy task.

Fortunately, the monsters have become stronger, and now only gray monsters are required.

In the next few days, just have the White Defeated Ones capture more people.

As for the control points.

That should be enough.

You forced 50 defeated White soldiers to work a total of 1854 hours, earning you +3708 Domination Points.

You forced 135 defeated and annihilated gray soldiers to work together for 2405 hours, gaining +2405 Domination Points.

You forced the two blue monsters (Mountain Tigers) to work a total of 216 hours, gaining +864 Domination Points.

Current Control Points: 8394

Li Wu Hui glanced at the settlement notification for the control points.

The chaotic battle situation these past few days.

This reminder was his peace of mind.

If you encounter real danger, just run towards the monster horde of the Wood Demon Tiger Drivers. Enslaving enough of the mountain tigers will be enough to save your life temporarily.
