Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

"I divined the fortune of Jiangbai Village, not an individual."

In addition, thanks to the Qi and Blood Ash Wheat recently bestowed upon me by the temple master, my cultivation has also improved significantly.

Even with the help of a strange creature, a fourth-tier strange entity wouldn't be able to execute this perfectly.

Tang Ren's words relieved Feng Mo.

But he was still uneasy: "What's Tang Qiulian's situation?"

Feng Mo remembered that the other party had clearly calculated the divination when explaining, but failed to foresee the third-order bizarre attack on Huanjiang Town.

"The Tang people are old and frail, and their qi and blood are depleted."

In my humble opinion, the object of the divination is probably a person.

Feng Mo understood instantly.

It turns out that the more people involved in the cause and effect of this divination technique, the greater the consumption of one's vital energy and blood.

For now, it's good that everything is alright.

Only after Tang Ren's explanation did he realize that the current comfort was not an illusion.

As for Feng Baishan's question, it seems to be just a dream.

However, the opponent was ultimately a third-tier monster.

It's always good to be cautious.

After nightfall, Feng Mo continued to use the vision tower to survey the surrounding area.

It seems that due to the blockade by the imperial army, not a single strange creature has appeared in the past few days, which is really exaggerated.

……

Three more days passed.

The week-long preparation period has come to a complete end, and the trial has officially entered the next stage.

That night, a chilling wind swept through Jiangbai Village.

Eerie sounds, like an old woman's wailing, echoed continuously in the air.

A strange disaster is approaching, and the environment is being affected again.

After a week of preparation, Young Master Xiao Chui had already led his men to set up a defensive line around Jiangbai Village, completely surrounding it.

Feng Mo didn't know whether others were nervous or not.

He was living a very comfortable life.

These days.

Aside from refreshing the research platform, his only pleasure was watching the scions of noble families construct fortifications.

It's a pity that he hasn't come up with any groundbreaking research in the past few days.

And he finally discovered the buildings besides himself.

The architects brought by other aristocratic families had a completely different construction logic from his.

They need a variety of complicated materials to build a structure from scratch.

Feng Mo personally witnessed the entire process of them building an arrow tower.

Basic materials like wood and stone, specific materials like strange drops, and even chicken, duck, and cow blood used for prayers and sacrifices...

All of it added up to more than several horse-drawn carts could carry.

It took so much effort to finally build an arrow tower.

Moreover, each architect's construction formula is not universal.

Some people spend the most time praying during construction; others require the most basic building materials.

Fortunately, the completed arrow tower was not much different from what Feng Mo remembered.

The only difference lies in the runes engraved on the arrow towers.

Compared to the number of runes around their own arrow towers, even their best arrow towers only had one-third of the runes, and the worst ones had less than one-tenth.

It wasn't until after the first arrow was fired that Feng Mo learned that ordinary arrow towers required a disaster stone to activate.

Without the disaster stone, the arrow tower could not fire any arrows at all.

This is very...

No wonder those scions of noble families looked at me like that back then.

No wonder Huang Lao Er looked at the arrow tower every day and couldn't put it down.

After all that fuss, it turns out that the arrow tower in his eyes is completely different from the arrow tower in other people's eyes.

Among the scions of prominent families in Chang'an County, the one with the most outstanding architectural skills was not the architect from the Lanling family, but the person brought by Su Fusang.

The architect she brought used runic crafting to cover nearly a third of the tower's body when building the first-tier arrow tower.

Such perfect construction craftsmanship made other arrow tower builders envious.

Instead, it made the young master of Lanling feel embarrassed and lose face.

Fortunately, the two second-order architects were equally skilled in second-order architecture and neither gave way to the other, which made him even more famous.

Feng Mo shook his head helplessly.

In his view, the gap in second-tier craftsmanship was even greater; nearly 70% of second-tier buildings could not be covered with runes.

Compared to his arrow towers.

It's no less than comparing a person to a dog.

……

The first night of the strange disaster was very stressful.

Basically, all the prominent families survived smoothly.

The next two days were similar, except that everyone could clearly feel the pressure of the strange disaster gradually increasing.

The strange attack, which started with a dozen or so, has now grown to nearly a hundred.

Soon, some scions of prominent families couldn't withstand the pressure.

And this was only three days ago.

Immediately, some people fled with their shrines, seeking refuge in other temples.

With Xiao Chui Gongzi's coordination, the plan proceeded smoothly and meticulously.

The strange thing about breaking through the defense line was just as they had expected: instead of immediately attacking the surrounding temples, it attacked the Five Internal Organs Temple where Feng Mo was stationed.

Feng Mo made no attempt to hide his abilities in this regard.

The third-tier arrow towers unleashed their full power.

Several salvos followed, combined with a split attack!

All the strange attacks turned to ashes and became experience points for upgrading the arrow towers!

"187/1000"

To upgrade a Tier 3 arrow tower to a Tier 4 arrow tower, you need to kill a total of 1,000 monsters.

We are now nearly one-fifth of the way to the next level.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the other scions of prominent families.

Only now did they truly glimpse the true strength of Jiangbai Village.

They were all secretly relieved that they hadn't gotten into a fight with Feng Mo that night.

Those knowledgeable architects, in particular, looked terrified!

This distance and power.

Even their second-tier arrow towers couldn't kill the first-tier Weird with a single blow!

This also includes accuracy, attack speed, and so on.

Needless to say, it hit the target from 700 meters away!

Compared to the buildings in Jiangbai Village, their previous attempts to compete and show off were nothing short of clown-like.

And that's the difference in the arrow tower runes!

Feng Mo finally understood.

His arrow towers are basically all at full purity, not to mention the additional attributes.

same,

Su Fusang, who was on the defensive line, was completely baffled.

Beside her, the highly respected second-tier architect in the family, was also filled with fear.

"Aunt Chang," she said respectfully, "this building is even better than what you did?"

"More than that, Miss!" Aunt Chang, also a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, exclaimed. "That distance is a full seven hundred meters! That's far beyond the range of a second-tier arrow tower!"

"So, what does Aunt Chang mean...?"

"A level three arrow tower! This is a level three arrow tower!" Aunt Chang exclaimed.

Su Fusang didn't know much about the intricacies of architecture.

But she also knew that,

The gap between each stage of construction is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate!

A world apart!

"Miss, our Gongwu Su family has always been on good terms with the Shiping Feng family."

If we can truly form a bond with this third young master of the Feng family, then the trial and conferment of titles this time will be a sure thing!

"If you are granted the title, our Su family's military achievements will advance further, and the pressure on the Su family in Chang'an County will be much less."

Su Fusang nodded in agreement with Aunt Chang's suggestion.

However, bound by principles of propriety and morality, a hint of hesitation appeared on her face:

"Men and women have always been supposed to avoid physical contact, what am I supposed to do now?"

"It's alright, sister."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

The old woman didn't speak, but she seemed both far away and right in front of me.

"He is your sister's husband, but he is also your brother-in-law."

We are family; my sister is overthinking it.

The sound continued, clear and crisp, like a lark, captivating all who heard it.

"We're family... too," Su Fusang replied softly.

at the same time.

Aunt Chang had deliberately distanced herself from the young lady she was referring to.

Standing behind the other person, she refused to look at the back of their head.

And that voice seemed to come from there.

If Feng Mo were here, he would be able to identify the owner of the voice immediately.

She was the original owner's deceased wife.
