Black mist descends, and I and the witches take refuge in the dungeon.

The moment Mir's voice fell, the underground space, which originally occupied only about a hundred square meters, underwent a miraculous transformation!

The entire ground began to shake at that moment!

A slight tremor came from the soles of my feet. The tremor wasn't strong, but you have to understand that the range was several hundred meters!

The next moment, the wooden house was pierced through, and in its place was a huge iron gate.

The iron gate was at least ten meters wide and more than three meters high.

Then, the iron gate began to change.

A layer of dark gold patterns appeared on the surface of the originally thick iron door panel.

The patterns followed the structure of the door, and within a few breaths, they had covered the entire iron door.

Then, the iron gate opened!

Unlike the usual way of pushing a door, the iron door opens slowly from the inside out, in a folding manner.

Numerous folds, safe no matter how you fold it!

The moment the iron gate opened, beams of light, like the sun, poured out from inside!

The light was so dazzling, like the sun, that it illuminated every single stone brick.

Inside the passageway after the door opens, modern incandescent lights are installed every few meters, creating a strong sense of security.

As you walk deeper into the passage, the air smells much better than outside.

A dry, warm current filled the air, carrying the clean scent unique to a sunny winter day.

The scent rose from deep within, creating a stark contrast with the damp, cold, black fog outside.

Andre Bell stood at the entrance of the passage, staring blankly at the road before him that was completely different from the one he remembered.

She instinctively looked at Mill, but only heard Mill say:

"Take them in, you've come to the right place, Andrebel, that's it!"

At the moment Mir's voice rang out, Anderbel did not hesitate for a moment and immediately directed everyone to walk into the passage.

At the same time, the system panel automatically popped up in Mil's field of vision, and lines of text quickly appeared:

[Mission Completed: Territory Expansion!]

[Dungeon level has been upgraded to LV3 (Special Divine Blessing)!]

The shelter's capacity has been expanded to 600 people (currently accommodating 419 people).

[Statistics on newly added regions:]

Main living area: approximately the size of six football fields

Water source area: 1 location (the river is a flowing river that connects to an underground river, and a purification device is installed at the water source).

Arable reserve area: approximately the size of six football fields (to be cultivated)

Ventilation system: Already in place (connected to the outer filter layer)

[Security System Upgrade:]

The entrance gate has been upgraded to a "composite layered door": its impact resistance has been improved, it has an identification function, it has a certain degree of light magic amplification, and its resistance to black fog erosion is increased by 20%!

Two miniature sentry towers have been generated on both sides of the entrance: linked detection, light coverage, and basic early warning!

A "boundary awareness layer" has been generated around the territory: it can detect approaching moving objects within a 100-meter radius (current detection range: no anomalies).

The main hall and main passageways have been integrated into the "lighting linkage" network: if any soul lamp is damaged, the three adjacent lamps will automatically strengthen the lighting.

(1000 Soul Lamps are given to the host!)

The following buildings have been added to the buildable list (already unlocked):

Glorious Field Ridge (Under Construction/To be Marked)

Simple storage room (already automatically generated)

Public rest area delineated (preliminary delineation completed)

[Current Shelter Safety Rating: B]

(Can withstand direct attacks from black mist creatures of order three or lower, but currently has no effective defense against attacks from order four or higher!)

[Divine Resonance Status: Stable, 15% Completeness, Connection Established with Territory Core!]

As Mir looked at the messages on the system panel, a surge of joy welled up inside him.

It's not just about the improvement in my own strength, but more so about the heartfelt joy that these people were able to survive.

He looked at the passageway in front of him, where the crowd was moving rapidly but orderly along the passageway, guided by Andrebel and several knights.

The boots made a steady echo as they stepped on the new stone surface.

The elderly were being helped by young people, and the children were being held in their arms. The wheels of the stroller rolled much more smoothly on the flat ground than they would outside.

The only thing that needs to be solved now is the monster chasing us from behind.

A distance of several hundred meters is only a matter of ten seconds for both Mir and the thing behind him.

If this continues, it will definitely be too late.

Mil watched as Anderbel rode his horse toward him.

He rushed over and placed the completely exhausted Renee on Anderbel's horse.

"Take her inside first. I need to stop this thing, otherwise many people won't survive!"

Andrebel wanted to say something, but Mir glared at him and shut him up.

Helpless, she could only lead Renee and run towards the back.

Meanwhile, Mir remained where he was, looking at the troll monster not far behind him, and let out a soft breath.

He currently has no experience in direct combat with anyone.

However... in the current situation, he could sense that the other party was definitely inferior to him.

After all, every movement of the troll seemed like slow motion to Mil.

While it can't achieve the kind of head-patting and dodging seen in Indian games, Mil can still guarantee no damage.

"The Holy Blade, solidify!"

Mir slightly opened his hand, and a pure white blade materialized.

This weapon is made of pure light magic element, which Mir couldn't use so easily before.

But after fusing with fifteen percent of the divine essence, these light magic elements completely turned into sycophants towards Mir.

These light magic elements will automatically align themselves without requiring much effort from Mir.

"Aaaaaah!"

For the next period of time, it was almost entirely Mil's one-sided crushing of the troll flesh monster.

By the time the Mil's amplification period was almost over, the troll monster had become a pile of minced meat.

But that thing was still not dead; the black mist gradually drew closer and continued to repair it.

Mil took a deep breath, looked at the blood and flesh on the ground, and without hesitation, chose to retreat.

He walked into the passageway, where Andre Bell was still waiting for him.

At this moment, only these two people remained in the passageway.

Everyone else went inside.

The moment Mir rushed into the tunnel, a dull thud came from behind him.

That was the sound of the iron gate closing.

The collision of steel gives people a strong sense of security.

The entire passageway was now enveloped in a layer of light golden light that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The light membrane flickered for a moment under the impact of the black mist, but remained completely still, like a glass wall soaked in sunlight.

A prompt automatically pops up on the system panel at the edge of the field of view:

[Entrance protective barrier activated! Current barrier strength: Creatures of rank three and below cannot breach it. Duration...]
