The Lord of Glimmer plants the sun in the eternal night.

This worm-like creature was pinned to the ground by a spear with a level two curse, and died on the spot with almost no chance to resist.

The only downside is that the campfire, upgraded with flint, still doesn't have the effect of melting away the monsters.

It can only cause strange creatures to resist; it won't approach them randomly.

"Pile them up together, take them back tomorrow to dispose of the bodies."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Chuan controlled his shadow to pull the remaining two ropes again, pulling in the animal traps in the darkness, which contained nothing but worms and strange creatures.

Jiang Chuan, wielding the large-tailed black gun, shot them one by one!

Quite efficient.

They've even gotten used to this pace.

After doing all this, Jiang Chuan threw the empty animal trap outside the camp again, then hid back inside the cabin, leaving Shadow to stay outside alone and scout out what was going on.

It seems that the large bird flying by did indeed startle the strange creature.

These creatures were quite active and didn't even need any bait. After a few breaths, a rope started swaying again.

Another prey has taken the bait.

...

An hour later.

Jiang Chuan stood inside the wooden house, using a flint to charge the Puppet Shadow Pearl. The shadow had been working for him day and night, and its durability was starting to wane.

He could accept spending a flint to recharge it.

After all, they had a very fruitful half hour, with prey taking the bait every now and then.

However, the number of monsters around them seems to be decreasing rapidly. Two incense sticks' worth of time has passed, and not a single monster has stepped into the animal trap.

Jiang Chuan had two doubts.

Firstly, the series of reactions caused by the large bird have subsided, and these worm-like creatures may have gone underground.

Secondly, he also discovered that the durability of the bear traps was running low, and the level of the bear traps themselves was also falling behind his pace.

He needs to modify and upgrade this trap using special materials in order to continue his treacherous fishing business.

"call."

"Alright, let's call it a day for tonight."

Jiang Chuan let out a long sigh of relief.

However, he couldn't just carry the flint back to Snow Eagle Ridge like that; it would be too dangerous.

Tonight, I'll leave Ye Xuan alone in this empty room and spend the night in this little wooden cabin by myself.

The wooden hut was built with two flints, though it was different from the one at his main camp.

However, each of them has its own characteristics, and there is no difference between them, even though they are all only level one.

It provides sufficient protection from the cold and wind.

Inside the room, three flints emitted warmth and light, filling the room with brilliance.

"Second brother, you stay outside and watch the door."

Jiang Chuan leaned against the wooden bed and spoke to the shadow.

I didn't care whether it understood or not.

He squinted, preparing to sleep.

Tonight's events have confirmed one of his guesses.

That is, the "strange creatures" in any region may indeed each have their own territory.

The area around Snow Eagle Ridge was the territory of the moles. After he killed all the moles, there were no other monsters around for the time being.

I wonder if there are any other strange creatures on the summit of Snow Eagle Ridge.

Jiang Chuan pondered.

Their territory is located on a flat area halfway up the mountain, but Snow Eagle Ridge has a summit with an open area that you can visit if you have time.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Chuan gradually fell asleep.

Level 1 sleep aid and Level 1 tranquilizer.

He slept comfortably until dawn.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes groggily, and the shadow was still standing by the wooden door like a guardian deity.

"Good brother!"

Jiang Chuan patted Yingzi on the shoulder, then pushed open the wooden door. The campfire outside had long since gone out, leaving only an empty shell.

He looked out into the wilderness, but it was very dark and he couldn't see anything in the distance. The snow was already above his thighs, and the living conditions were becoming increasingly harsh.

Jiang Chuan felt the cold snowflakes falling from the tree onto his neck and came back to his senses.

It's time to tidy up.

I have important things to do today!

He walked back along the same route and quickly retrieved a wooden cart from Snow Eagle Ridge.

While piling up the corpses of the strange creatures and binding them with hemp rope, Jiang Chuan manipulated his shadow to shovel the snow to both sides of the road with an iron shovel.

"Second brother, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you in the future."

"We killed thirty worm monsters last night, and at least half of that was thanks to you. I guarantee your stamina will be sufficient."

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh, having such a quiet and hardworking subordinate really saved him a lot of trouble.

No wonder those bosses in my past life loved cattle and horses so much.

"Let's go home!"

...

It took an hour to drag the cart through the snow-covered road before we finally saw the territory.

"Um?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Old Man Liu, who was standing outside the territory.

The other party looked energetic, carrying a thick-backed broadsword, wearing worn leather armor and a fine iron helmet, fully armed.

A hint of confusion flashed through his mind, and he stepped forward, asking, "Uncle Liu, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Xiao Jiang, ah..."

Old Liu was still staring blankly at the arrow tower on Snow Eagle Ridge; otherwise, with his keen senses, he wouldn't have reacted so slowly.

"Xiao Jiang, you and Jiang Liu have been lying to us quite a bit, haven't you?"

"You...you are..."

Old Liu's gaze shifted, then across the river, settling on the cartload of strange corpses, his astonishment deepening.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he asked with some uncertainty, "Are these strange creatures?"

Upon seeing these strange objects, he wasn't unaware that they were supernatural, but rather he couldn't believe that Jiang Chuan had simply brought back a whole cartload of them!

These monsters are just standing there, letting him kill them? How did they do that?

"Yes." Jiang Chuan didn't mince words and didn't hide anything.

But don't ask how she did it.

As he manipulated the shadow to pull the cart towards the firelight, he asked, "Uncle Liu, what brings you to this remote corner of my place today?"

"You call this a remote place? Don't make fun of this old man. In all my years, I've never seen a small outpost guarded by two arrow towers."

Old Liu was old and had a calm mindset, so he quickly accepted this absurd reality.

He also remembered the purpose of his visit: "Looks like I really made the right choice coming to find you, kid!"

"What? Grandpa, you're going to the Blood Bamboo Forest? You're so old, how can you do that? I was just joking the other day..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan was taken aback at first, and then hurriedly began to speak, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Old Man Liu.

"An old steed in its stall may still aspire to gallop a thousand miles, but I'm still full of energy and vigor. I could take on two of you by myself!" Old Liu insisted on becoming a snake catcher, fulfilling his youthful dream.

"You..." Jiang Chuan shook his head, chuckling to himself, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, let's get going quickly, before others beat us to it."

"Alright, alright, I'm convinced by you, sir."

Jiang Chuan had no other choice. After summoning Ye Xuan to deal with the nightmare fuel, he took Shadow and went into the mountains with Old Man Liu.

He had originally planned to go and observe, and having another person with him would provide mutual support.

...

The night fog dissipated.

The forest was still somewhat dark, but with Jiang Chuan's improved eyesight, he could clearly see the scenery further away.

"Xiao Jiang, I don't think it's that easy to get into the Blood Bamboo Forest. There must be dangers," Old Liu said in a low voice.

"It's alright, I'll let it scout ahead first, and we'll observe it together."

Jiang Chuan pointed at the shadow and said.

"Jiang Liu is indeed a capable young man!"

Even now, Old Liu still believes that Jiang Chuan's situation was a backup plan left for him by Jiang Liu, after all, his elder brother was the only person in the village who had been to a big city.

Having seen the world, it's not surprising that you might acquire some unusual items.
