The flamethrower is a good thing, currently Gu Su's most powerful weapon.

He gently rubbed the cold gun body with his fingertips, imagining the sharp power contained within this city defense weapon.

But this thing is ultimately a city defense weapon, not a handheld item. It must be mounted on a turret or defensive tower to exert its true lethality.

Currently, Gu Su does not have a carrier for such weapons.

However, he felt quite confident that with the current resource reserves and territory size of the Graveyard Demon, these buildings would be unlocked and upgraded soon.

So, Gu Su placed the flamethrower in its corresponding defensive position as a preparation.

As soon as the Graveyard Demon is upgraded, he can immediately install and debug it, putting it into the territory's defense.

He steadily placed the flamethrower by the left side of the Graveyard's surrounding wall, securing the gun body with a few stones to prevent it from being blown over by the night wind. Then, Gu Su took out the [Contaminated Engine Oil] he had brought back from his storage space.

This bottle of black, viscous engine oil, though unremarkable, had good fire-resistant effects and was an excellent material for reinforcing the wall.

Without hesitation, he directly poured the engine oil slowly onto the dilapidated wall.

The Graveyard's wall was originally made of spliced, rusted iron sheets, with weak defenses. Enhancing the wall's defense and solidifying the territory's first barrier was precisely what he should be doing now.

As the [Contaminated Engine Oil] flowed down, the black oil spread rapidly like a living thing, evenly coating every inch of rusted iron sheet on the wall and covering all the mottled rust spots.

Almost simultaneously, a clear system prompt flashed before Gu Su's eyes: [Dilapidated Fence (Level 1) attributes improved, Fire Resistance +3.]

Looking at the improved attribute, Gu Su's expression remained largely unchanged. He simply nodded slightly.

While Fire Resistance +3 wasn't a significant increase, it was enough to resist low-level flames. Ordinary small fires would have almost no effect on this dilapidated wall.

He didn't say anything more and quickly walked towards the Yin Fire Pile in the center of the Graveyard, where more important matters awaited him.

Arriving beside the Yin Fire Pile, the faint blue flames flickered quietly, emitting a dense Yin energy.

Gu Su stopped and took out [Highly Concentrated Corrupted Oil] and [Soul Gathering Candles] from his storage space, beginning to operate methodically.

He first slowly poured the [Highly Concentrated Corrupted Oil] into the Yin Fire Pile.

As soon as the oil touched the Yin Fire, it flared up with a bang. The flames instantly rose to over a meter high, and the color became even deeper and richer. The surrounding Yin energy also thickened.

Immediately after, another system prompt popped up.

[Yin Fire Pile (Level 1) attributes improved, can produce 750 points of Yin energy every 24 hours.]

This effect was slightly weaker than Gu Su had anticipated. He was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But after a moment's thought, he felt relieved.

After all, this was a permanent, long-term attribute improvement, not a temporary burst of gain. Accumulated over time, the amount of Yin energy that could be generated would be quite considerable. For him, who urgently needed Yin energy to nourish the Strange Tree and convert the undead, it was a decent gain.

Gu Su didn't dwell on it any longer. He collected his thoughts and simply lit all six [Soul Gathering Candles], placing them neatly on the flat stones beside the Yin Fire Pile, illuminated by the faint Yin fire.

The next second, the system prompt sounded again, bringing a temporary buff feedback.

[Yin Fire Pile (Level 1) attributes temporarily improved, total Yin energy produced within 72 hours increased by 60%.]

Gu Su accepted this outcome. After all, these [Soul Gathering Candles] were bought by Yin Hand. Being able to increase Yin energy by so much was already a very good result.

After dealing with the Yin Fire Pile, Gu Su seemed to be in a hurry. Without any delay, he immediately turned and walked towards the Strange Tree behind the tent.

At the same time, he quickly took out [Gnawed Leg Bone], [Rusted Long Sword], and [Black Digestive Fluid].

These three items all contained dense Yin energy or death energy. They were Gu Su's initial choices to nourish the Strange Tree and accelerate its repair progress.

He walked up to the Strange Tree and carefully placed them one by one.

The [Black Digestive Fluid] was slowly poured at the base of the tree, allowing the viscous liquid to slowly seep through the cracks in the soil and be fully absorbed by the Strange Tree's roots.

He then used both hands to firmly insert the [Rusted Long Sword] into the ground below the Strange Tree. Half of the rusted blade gleamed faintly with residual killing intent under the Yin light.

Finally, he dug a small pit next to the tree roots, gently placed the [Gnawed Leg Bone] inside, and then carefully covered and compacted it with soil.

This time, the Strange Tree did not trigger any new special effects, but its recovery speed clearly accelerated. The originally dry and cracked branches emitted a faint black energy, and the repair progress directly reached 77%.

With this pile of miscellaneous tasks done, Gu Su finally breathed a sigh of relief, raising his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead. Using the blueprint's effect, he built a simple hydroponic rack.

He directly placed the cultivation rack next to the flamethrower, leaning it tightly against the dilapidated wall.

This saved space and allowed the wall to block the night wind, a win-win situation.

This cultivation rack, in simple terms, was not complicated. It was divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower.

The base was pressed down by heavy stones, making it very stable and absolutely windproof.

The grooves were made of flat wood, with small supports carefully laid inside. Pouring in an appropriate amount of clean water was all it took.

The initial intention behind this design was simple: to allow the seeds to absorb water without getting waterlogged, as waterlogged seeds would be wasted.

Each layer could hold two seeds, or two different types of plants, perfectly using up Gu Su's remaining four white seeds.

He placed the four seeds separately in the grooves. With this step completed, there was nothing else he could do but wait patiently to see when these seeds would sprout and grow.

After all matters were settled and he confirmed nothing was missed.

Gu Su set out for the Withered Wood.

As night deepened, the trees in the Withered Wood behind the graveyard loomed like phantoms, exuding a strange aura.

Before two empty graves there, stood small, simple gravestones. The stones were rough and unadorned, with no inscriptions yet.

Gu Su hesitated briefly before the two gravestones, quickly calculating his future undead squad plans in his mind.

Gu Su's biggest problem right now wasn't the lumberjacks or combat power, but the fact that he had no idea about his surroundings.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment was a scout, a scout who could pave the way for Gu Su.

Before, Gu Su had no choice but to send out skeletons. Now it was different; he had a choice for a scout.

White Raven!

Having made up his mind, Gu Su slowly wrote a small line of text on one of the gravestones with a sharp stone: [White Raven Squad (0/30)].
