Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

Jiang Che gritted his teeth and, relying on his superhuman 150% reflex speed, he not only did not turn around and run away, but instead did something extremely crazy!

He pushed off the ground with both legs, and his whole body turned into a blur, actually advancing instead of retreating, charging towards the lava python!

"Xiao Jiang! Are you crazy!" Liu Wenying was shocked and quickly drew her bow and arrow, aiming at the giant python's eyes to prepare for cover.

"Whoosh—!"

Jiang Che's speed was extremely fast. Just a second before the fireball in the lava python's mouth was about to be spat out, he slid down like a swallow flying close to the ground and rushed directly under the giant python!

Jiang Che waved his right hand and directly touched the silver-grade treasure chest.

"receive!"

The silver treasure chest vanished instantly, absorbed into a dimensional space!

Immediately afterward, Jiang Che slammed his left hand onto the exposed iron-rich ore vein beside him. The system's mining mechanism was instantly triggered!

Iron Ore +20!

Iron Ore +30!

Iron Ore +50!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Che frantically extracted a full one hundred units of iron ore!

"roar!"

The lava python was utterly enraged by this weak human who dared to steal from it right under its nose. Its massive head slammed down towards Jiang Che, and simultaneously, a lava fireball the size of a water vat erupted from its mouth, crashing heavily to the ground!

"Walk!"

Having obtained the item, Jiang Che had no greed. He kicked the ground with his legs and, using the recoil, flew backward like an arrow.

"Boom—!"

The lava fireball slammed into the spot where Jiang Che had just been standing and exploded instantly! The terrifying heat and shockwave carbonized the surrounding soil and trees.

Although Jiang Che dodged quickly, he was still thrown out by the aftershocks of the explosion, tumbling several times in mid-air before landing steadily.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just as the giant python was about to give chase, Liu Wenying's triple shot landed. The three specially made metal arrows accurately struck the python's eyelids. Although they failed to penetrate its defenses, they still produced several sparks, successfully obstructing the python's vision and attracting its aggro.

"Run! Don't look back!"

After Jiang Che landed, he grabbed Liu Wenying's hand, and the two turned and ran, maximizing their agility as they darted through the dense primeval forest.

The lava python roared angrily behind them, its massive body crushing countless trees as it relentlessly pursued them. Fortunately, the ancient trees in this forest were extremely thick and dense, which greatly limited the python's enormous size, making it impossible for it to pick up speed.

After chasing for several hundred meters, the giant python seemed unwilling to stray too far from its mine nest. It could only angrily spew out a few fireballs, setting several large trees ablaze, before reluctantly turning back.

Hearing the sounds fading away behind them, Jiang Che and Liu Wenying stopped in their tracks.

The two leaned against a large tree, panting heavily.

"You're incredibly bold!" Liu Wenying glared at Jiang Che, punching him squarely in the chest, her voice tinged with lingering fear. "That's a Level 5 leader! If you'd been even half a second slower, you'd be roast meat by now!"

Jiang Che calmed his breathing. Although it was a close call, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

"Fortune favors the bold. The beast tide in three days will be deadly. How can we defend ourselves without any defenses? How will anyone survive if we don't bring back some real treasures?"

As he spoke, Jiang Che patted his chest and made a thought.

The silver treasure chest, radiating a silvery glow, and a pile of dark iron ore appeared before the two of them.

Seeing these spoils, the blame in Liu Wenying's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by intense excitement. With this iron ore, the safe house's defenses would undergo a qualitative leap!

"Let's go, hurry back to camp and open the treasure chest!"

The two did not linger in the forest and immediately returned the way they came.

……

Inside the safe house.

The terrifying roars and muffled explosions that had just come from the depths of the forest had already reached the camp.

The old women were gathered inside the wall, looking anxious and looking anxiously towards the gate.

"That noise was terrifying! Was it an earthquake?"

"I hope Xiao Jiang and Xiao Liu aren't in danger. They've been gone for most of the day..."

Just as everyone was on tenterhooks, the heavy wooden door was pushed open.

Although Jiang Che and Liu Wenying were covered in mud, sweat, and some green fluid splattered from killing the spiders, making them look somewhat disheveled, they were unharmed and their eyes were filled with excitement.

"Xiao Jiang! You're finally back!" Grandma Wang was the first to greet them, her eyes slightly red.

"Don't worry, everyone, we're fine. And we brought back some good stuff!"

Jiang Che smiled and reassured everyone. He walked to the open space in the center of the camp and, under the curious gazes of the old ladies, took out the silver treasure chest.

"A silver-level treasure chest?!"

Everyone gasped. Although they didn't understand the game's drop rates, they knew from the name that this was definitely a rare treasure.

Without hesitation, Jiang Che reached out and lifted the lid of the treasure chest.

"Whoosh!"

A dazzling silver light flashed by.

Accompanied by a very crisp system notification sound, several items floated above the treasure chest.

[Silver-level treasure chest successfully opened!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 2 Automatic Heavy Crossbow Turret Construction Blueprints!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: a beginner-level spatial ring (containing 10 cubic meters of storage space) x1!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 1 Beginner Fire Enchantment Scroll!]

Upon seeing these three rewards, Jiang Che's eyes instantly lit up like a two-thousand-watt light bulb!

"This is a godsend!"

He immediately checked the properties of the two drawings.

[Automatic Heavy Crossbow Turret: A defensive structure mounted on a wall. It automatically locks onto enemies within a 50-meter range and fires at high speed; the arrows possess powerful penetrating force. Requires 20 iron ore, 50 wood, and 5 spider silk. Can be loaded with regular arrows or poison arrows.]

These are fully automated defensive turrets! With these two crossbow towers, it's like having two tireless, unerring archers! They're an absolute game-changer when facing a beast horde!

"Xiao Jiang, what is this ring?" Liu Wenying asked curiously, looking at the silver ring.

Without hesitation, Jiang Che picked up the [Primary Space Ring], grabbed Liu Wenying's fair left hand, and slipped it directly onto her index finger.

"Here you go," Jiang Che said with a smile. "When you go out to scout or fight, you can't carry all your supplies by hand. There's 10 cubic meters of space in here, enough for you to store arrows and food."

Looking at the antique silver ring on her finger, and sensing the magical storage space within, Liu Wenying felt a surge of indescribable sweetness well up inside. She proudly raised her chin: "At least you have a conscience."

The old ladies, seeing this, couldn't stop laughing. They all pretended not to see anything and went back to their own business.

"Alright, Wenying, go and rest for a bit. I need to start building the fortifications!"

Jiang Che immediately took action.

He arrived at the [Superior Blacksmith Forge] that had been built the night before, stuffed the hundred units of iron ore he had snatched from the lava python's mouth into the forge, and then added wood to start a fire.

With the system's support, a raging fire immediately ignited inside the furnace, and the temperature soared instantly. The hard iron ore melted rapidly under the high temperature, impurities were removed, and it was finally transformed into pure iron ingots.

Jiang Che held the refined iron ingots, wood, and the tough spider silk he had obtained from killing the Spider Queen that day.

Walk to the high platforms on both sides of the wall directly in front of the safe house.

"Construct! Automatic Heavy Crossbow Turret!"

The white light flashed twice in succession.

Two massive crossbow towers, each two meters tall and constructed entirely of refined iron and rough wood, with extremely ferocious and imposing designs, appeared prominently on the wall! The huge metal crossbow arms and sharp steel arrow slots exuded a chilling metallic luster.

Jiang Che then extracted the venom from the highly poisonous glands he had collected that day, applied it to a batch of arrows, and loaded them into the magazines of the repeating crossbow tower.

After finishing all this, Jiang Che dusted off his hands and looked at the camp in front of him, which was now armed to the teeth.

A three-meter-high wooden and stone wall, fifty poisoned spike traps on the outside, and two fully automatic heavy crossbow towers!

With such a level of defense, even if that level 5 lava python were to chase it out of the forest, it would still be skinned alive!

The grandmothers in the camp looked at the crossbow towers on the high walls, and the fear they had felt because of the Blood Moon Beast Tide was finally completely dispelled.

With such a fortress, what monsters would they be afraid of?
