Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

now,

Young Master Xiao Chui was intently studying the map in his hand, while summarizing all the events that had occurred that day.

Two days ago, only a few strange creatures appeared sporadically in the Huanjiang River basin.

Now, just as the pressure of the strange calamity is being felt, three members of aristocratic families have already been eliminated.

Young Master Xiao Chui didn't find the strange disaster terrifying; he only felt that the eliminated young masters from noble families were all charlatans.

They have neither strength nor power.

How dare they come to participate in the trials and compete for the title?

It's absolutely shameful!

Four were eliminated that day!

At this rate, if I can hold out for another ten days or so, won't I be in good shape?!

Young Master Xiao Chui muttered to himself, his tone full of arrogance.

It's just a pity that he was the only son of the Lanling family.

Otherwise, the Lanling family would have produced at least one more outstanding figure of the level of a guardian.

But at that moment,

He noticed that the map of the strange disasters in the Huanjiang River basin in his hand had changed.

It was very sudden.

Near the walls of eternal night, a strange and eerie calamity is suddenly approaching, unlike any recorded on the map.

The temple lords who accompanied the imperial court on their inspection tour were quite powerful. They were not only able to observe the movements of the strange disasters, but could even roughly determine their level.

After Xiao Chui Gongzi saw the markings on the map, his Adam's apple bobbed violently.

Sweat rolled down his face like beans.

Second-tier calamity!

Another new second-tier calamity has struck!

The formation of a second-order calamity is extremely rigorous.

Either the vast majority of the strange creatures in the strange disaster are second-order;

It either means that there are three levels of strange entities lurking within!

"Why is another second-tier monster disaster hitting the Huanjiang River basin?"

Young Master Xiao Chui was startled.

His intelligence network had absolutely no relevant information.

He immediately opened the jade slip in his hand to examine it.

At this moment, the western side facing the Eternal Night Wall is in complete chaos!

"How could this happen?!"

"It's a strange calamity! We've encountered another strange calamity!"

"We're surrounded! Damn it!"

Why are so many strange calamities occurring one after another in this barren land?!

"Damn it! Hold on, hold on!"

The army of the imperial court was basically composed of veterans who had fought bloody battles.

Whether fighting against humans or confronting the supernatural, they are experts.

After a brief period of chaos, the soldiers quickly calmed down and began to deal with the strange disaster in an orderly manner!

From the jade slip, Xiao Chui Gongzi heard the voice of Commander Han Zhongyi:

"The Mountain and River Temple is arrayed!"

Under no circumstances should the two calamities come into contact, lest they cause further trouble!

Faced with the unexpected situation, Han Zhongyi remained calm and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

just,

Young Master Xiao Chui looked at the situation on the map again, but it was still not optimistic.

The commander's army has been surrounded by two third-tier monsters and is now showing signs of weakness.

To quell the evil disasters, temples naturally have the means to trap them by relying on the traditions of temples.

Being attacked from both sides is a major taboo in military operations!

The newly emerged strange calamity seemed to have transformed into a real catastrophe.

With overwhelming force, it instantly devoured the army of the imperial court, spreading wildly across the map.

Young Master Xiao Chui broke out in a cold sweat.

If it were a typical second-tier calamity, it would be relatively easy to deal with.

Although this strange calamity is marked as second-tier, its vast scope and rapid destruction of armies demonstrate that the individual strength of the strange creatures within it is also terrifying!

Even the battle-hardened Commander Han seemed powerless to turn the tide at this moment!

Young Master Xiao Chui felt his mind go blank, and he muttered in a panic:

"What...what should we do?"

……

Young Master Xiao Chui was not the only aristocratic young master who bribed officials and obtained intelligence from outside the court.

Thus, the originally orderly trial instantly descended into chaos.

The area east of Huanjiang is the garrison area mainly guarded by Ta Xue Yun Shu.

She naturally learned of the perilous situation on the west side of the Eternal Night Wall immediately.

She immediately relayed the message to the county magistrate, who was in charge of the imperial court.

But right now, she's too busy suppressing the third-tier monster in her hands to spare any time.

If it were simply a matter of eliminating the third-tier monsters, she might be able to finish the battle quickly and rush to support Commander Han.

But military orders are absolute, and without instructions from above, she could only stay put and follow orders.

In the Great Shang Dynasty, imperial orders were equivalent to military orders, and no one could disobey them.

Anyone who disobeys military orders, along with the powerful families behind them, will be implicated.

Fortunately, as soon as she sent out the message, the magistrate of Chang'an County gave a reply.

The reply, however, made her furrow her brows.

……

Inside the Five Internal Organs Temple in Jiangbai Village.

The small, strange group that came to attack was successfully repelled.

While cultivating, Feng Mozheng also drew upon the protective stones in advance, still managing to multitask with ease and composure.

And so it went until dawn.

As usual, he went to the research table to see if any new research projects had been updated.

"Detection extension: The detection range of the detection tower has been increased by 0.5 kilometers."

"Increased crop yields: 5% increase during bumper harvests"

"Random Building Blueprints * Attack: Randomly obtain a building upgrade path of an attack type that has not been researched."

Of the three studies, the first two still focused on gains in basic infrastructure and crops.

The conditions for these gains are quite simple: it only requires half an hour of reconnaissance with the detection tower and watering the crops once.

The third study, however, caught Feng Mo's attention.

A brand new attack building?

Not bad!

Feng Mo was getting tired of seeing arrow towers all the time.

Feng Mo looked at the prerequisite for this research: kill a second-tier weirdo.

Feng Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is the second order strange?

Now that he has the Tier 3 Destruction Arrow Tower, killing Tier 2 Strange Beings is a piece of cake for him.

Having witnessed the destructive power of the Arrow Tower, Feng Mo no longer took the second-tier anomaly seriously.

He is no longer the timid and submissive person he once was.

Feng Mo immediately designated this research as his primary research project.

To avoid forgetting about this when you get busy in a couple of days.

Simultaneously,

After so many days of exploration, he discovered that on the research platform, he could also see the current gains of all the buildings.

"Arrow Tower: Attack Speed ​​+10%"

"City Wall: Defense +5%, Durability +10%"

"Crops: Growth rate +15%, Yield +5%"

"Vision Tower: Detectable range +5%"

Today, these gains are just small percentage points.

However, if this continues over a long period, the effects will only become more terrifying.

It should be noted that Feng Mo had only been researching for less than a week, yet he had already accumulated so many building attribute bonuses.

Feng Mo turned to look in the direction of the tavern, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

He was stunned when he saw the updated list of today's featured items.

He must have stumbled upon some incredible luck today, because he actually spotted a purple mark on the tavern's list of goodies.

Over the past few days, the drop rate of good items in the tavern has also increased.

"Common: 88%; Rare: 11.5%; Exotic: 0.5%"

Purple is a symbol of rarity.

Upon seeing this purple hue, Feng Mo raised an eyebrow, a surge of joy in his heart.

With a drop rate of less than one percent, he actually managed to get it!

It's like finding gold in a pile of garbage!

"Exquisite Corpse": A masterpiece of the Temple of Life and Death, passed down through the twelve generations of the Unfettered True Lord. It can create a corpse with the same shape and aura as the user using the user's essence and blood. It can walk in the world in the user's place and experience the mortal world.

"Item Entry" Innate Wisdom (Rare): Born from nothing, possessing innate wisdom; when the original owner does not control the Corpse King, the Corpse King can act autonomously according to the original owner's will.

Feng Mo's brows furrowed slightly.

He secretly grumbled to himself.

You sell boxing techniques at your tavern, I won't argue with that; but you even sell corpses?

However, just hearing the description of this item makes it sound incredibly impressive.

It's like having an extra identity that can take your place in the world.

Feng Mo could accept it, though.

This is very much in line with his cowardly behavior.

After that, he would sit in the temple and leave any matters to be handled by the corpse.

Just ...

"The Unfettered True Lord, the Temple of Life and Death," Feng Mo murmured to himself.

Presumably, this is another item passed down from another True Lord.

He looked down at the price of the items.

One, ten, hundred...

A full five hundred Tier 1 Disaster Stones!

This will cost him almost a quarter of his fortune!

These days, the sons of prominent families have been coming and going in Jiangbai Village, paying their share of disaster relief stones according to the rules.

It was precisely because of these disaster stones that he was able to accumulate a fortune of two thousand first-tier disaster stones.

Even so, it couldn't withstand such a huge expense.

But Feng Mo knew in his heart that if this thing were left outside, it would be impossible to get it down from five hundred disaster stones!

Although the Good Things Tavern is a rip-off, once you receive a good item, it really is a good one.

Just as Feng Mo was about to make up his mind to take down this "exquisite corpse," his storage space suddenly stirred.

The scroll emitted a deep blue light.

Feng Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems that it was Ta Xue Yun Shu who came to find him.
