Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

But not now.

Feng Mo suppressed this thought and decided to deal with the immediate matter first.

According to the original plan, he also wanted to try out the hole-opening enchantment on the arrow tower.

He arrived at the third-tier arrow tower.

Feng Mo hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched the arrow tower, but there was no response.

So he took out the bizarre materials again.

He didn't use the second-tier materials immediately, but instead tried using the first-tier materials first.

After all, Tier 2 materials are truly rare items.

He first took out a Tier 1 monster material.

It is the "smiling mask" that most often falls off the smiling ghost.

When I touched the arrow tower again, a prompt immediately appeared.

"Smiling Face (Tier 1)" Endurance Aura: Provides a 20% base attack speed boost to arrow towers within 100 meters.

"Open a hole? (After opening a hole, you can replace it after 24 hours. The original material will be lost; this prompt will only appear once)"

Feng Mo nodded slowly.

A single Tier 1 material can provide a 20% attack speed boost?

Feng Mo found it somewhat unbelievable.

If Tier 1 materials have such good effects, what kind of improvement can Tier 2 materials bring?

He immediately took out one of the second-tier materials and inlaid it.

"Broken Face (Tier 2): Provides a 100% durability boost to basic arrow towers."

This material was dropped when I first killed the female ghost who hadn't yet grown into a full-fledged opera troupe ghost.

"What a pity, it's a pretty useless attribute."

The arrow towers are all behind the walls, so they don't need much durability at all.

Feng Mo's feelings at this moment were exactly the same as if he had drawn the wrong card.

If the city walls can be upgraded to Tier 3, this attribute might actually be somewhat useful.

immediately,

Feng Mo then took out two more Tier 2 materials—Painted Skin and Bloodstained Soap Shoes.

I'm hoping to get some good attributes.

Unfortunately, the first item still provides the attribute of a life aura.

It can provide a 50% increase in durability for nearby buildings.

The effect of the second material, however, left Feng Mo stunned on the spot.

It doesn't bring attributes or auras, but real attack power!

"Split: Each attack fires an arrow with equal attack power!"

"Awesome!"

Feng Mo couldn't help but marvel.

I've won a prize!

What this means is self-evident, and the benefits are obvious!

Tier 3 arrow towers already possess extremely high single-target attack power; with the addition of split attacks, they essentially compensate for their weakness in area-of-effect (AOE) capabilities!

Even when facing a troublesome high-level monster, firing two arrows at once would likely cause the opponent considerable trouble.

Feng Mo thoroughly enjoyed his research.

Before we knew it, it had gotten completely dark.

Eternal night began to engulf the earth!

Feng Mo looked up at the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Let's give it a try and see how it goes!

He removed the attack restrictions from all arrow towers!

Suddenly,

Arrows were suddenly unleashed from the sky above the Five Stomachs Temple.

Arrows rained down in all directions, like a shower of brilliant stars falling from the sky!

Faced with these strange creatures, the arrows don't even need to hit them directly; merely touching the arrow's aura will instantly turn them to ashes!

At this moment, the nature of the "Five Stomachs Temple" (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine) has undergone a complete transformation!

The warriors and servants inside the temple all stood on the observation platform.

They were utterly shocked by what they were seeing!

At this moment, the Five Internal Organs Temple is like a sacred place for the living, a strange forbidden zone!

……

Feng Mo finally finished dealing with all the things at hand.

He reviewed all the buildings in the Five Internal Organs Temple that currently needed to be upgraded to Tier 2.

A well with talismanic water that needs to be exorcised a hundred times, an outer wall that can protect fifty people, a wooden house that can be slept in for a week, and a spirit herb that needs to be sung a love song.

Now that there are spirit herbs for lighting, Feng Mo has not prioritized upgrading the Ghost Campfire. He can only make plans after he finishes his current tasks.

Of these upgrades, apart from the Fu Shui Well, the others are all quite simple.

It just takes a little time.

But what he lacks most right now is time.

Therefore, Feng Mo could only choose the most practical and durable spiritual herbs to upgrade.

It's just singing a love song.

Not worth mentioning.

This time, he didn't choose the outer city wall, but returned to the wooden house.

Surely no one would be eavesdropping, right?

So, Feng Mo chose his favorite love song.

……

Jiangqing Village.

Today, this place has become a village guarded by the imperial court, and consequently, a military stronghold.

Ta Xueyun returned to her residence.

Her living quarters were very simple.

There was only a thatched hut and an oil lamp, with no other furnishings.

After feeding her favorite warhorse, she finally relaxed completely.

She spent the entire day planning the trial to contain the second-tier calamity.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, dealing with strange disasters is simple, but controlling them is exponentially more complex.

So, lying on the bed, she slowly closed her eyes.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, what appeared before him was not darkness, but the figure of a man in blue.

Then, her face instantly flushed red.

"What's wrong with me? I'm even thinking about him with my eyes closed?"

"How could I, a dignified sergeant, do such a thing..."

The Ta Xue family was originally a family of military generals who came from the imperial court.

Compared to the refined manners of scions of noble families, those from high-ranking official families placed greater emphasis on martial arts and combat.

Therefore, she hadn't read much poetry and literature since childhood, and she harbored a slight longing for sweet talk and romantic love.

Now these things are actually happening to me.

The excitement in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

After all, the man in front of her was simply too outstanding.

She opened her eyes and took out a secret scroll from her sleeve.

If Feng Mo were there, he would definitely recognize her at a glance.

This secret scroll is exactly the same as the one she gave to Feng Mo back then.

Treading on snow and drifting clouds, there's a hidden agenda.

"It's so late, I wonder how he is."

The moment she opened it, she could hear all the sounds happening near the corresponding scroll.

This is a set of secret scrolls.

It is usually used to report information between each other.

Coincidentally, she was quite skilled in runes.

So they changed the patterns on it and turned it into a means of eavesdropping.

So she could clearly hear what Feng Mo was saying.

She couldn't understand.

But it is an expression that lacks skill yet is full of genuine emotion.

Moreover, the text is filled with cheesy, romantic words.

Obscene...

In a short time.

She wanted to know who had made Feng Mo do this.

I've been listening for a long time, but it seems there's no one else like it.

This relieved Ta Xueyun, putting her mind at ease.

Conversely, the other person uses words like "grass" and "sun".

She started to let her imagination run wild.

The sun definitely refers to Feng Mo, and as for the grass, could it be a sunflower?

Who is Xiangyanghua? After what happened that night, it naturally refers to herself.

"How could this be?! Could it be that I've been discovered?"

Ta Xueyunshu quickly shook her head.

When the secret document was given to Feng Mo, the wiretapping was one-way.

There is absolutely no way the other party could discover it.

Therefore, there is only one possible outcome.

This guy, seeing that I've left, has started thinking about me all over again.

"..."

then,

She listened to the sincere emotions coming from the other end of the secret scroll.

His fingers unconsciously reached towards his lower abdomen.

She bit her lip tightly, every word in the song relentlessly assaulting her heart, which had never been moved before.

So, her eyes were filled with longing, and her body twisted slightly, as if she had been bullied, and she became delicate and charming.

But at that very moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

The next instant, Ta Xue Yun Shu reverted to her usual aloofness.

"Report! Sergeant Commander, urgent report!"

"What is it?"

"It's about the trial."

Currently, nearly 70% of the members of the aristocratic families who have arrived in Shanhai City are from the Huanjiang River basin.

"Seventy percent?" Ta Xueyunshu raised an eyebrow slightly.

So many people have arrived in just one day; it's much faster than expected.

In that case, the trial will have to start ahead of schedule by tomorrow at the latest.

"I understand, you may leave."

"yes!"

Once Ta Xueyun Shu was sure the person had gone far away, she completely changed her demeanor.

His previously cold and aloof demeanor crumbled instantly.

She opened the secret document again.

Fortunately, Feng Mo continued talking.

So, her hand once again uncontrollably reached between her thighs.

Soft, murmured whispers echoed gently within the small thatched hut.

Until.

A voice came from the other end: "Finally, the song is over."

At this moment, Ta Xueyunshu suddenly became weak and trembling.

Water splashed up beside the bed.

After a period of emotional fluctuation.

She then realized that Feng Mo wasn't saying sweet nothings, but singing.

She's really multi-talented.

It was just singing, but she didn't quite recognize it...
