A cannonball shot out of the "Godslayer Cannon" barrel like an arrow toward the Strange Tide suspended in the air. It was a cannonball formed of scarlet energy, and it was terrifying to look at.

"Boom"

A silent explosion rang out in the air.

There was no sound.

But it also seemed deafeningly loud.

The exploding crimson shell released all its power, instantly turning the surrounding Strange Entities into dust, leaving only crimson Blood Rain raining down from the sky.

But then...

The overflowing energy, like blood-red vines, rapidly enveloped the surrounding Strange Entities, almost instantly clearing away a patch of Strange Tide. This was the Heavenly Dao Blessing Effect of the Godslayer Cannon; the overflowing damage would spread outwards.

And this was just one shot.

740 fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon are neatly arranged along the 14.8-kilometer-long "Rainy Season Defense Line," their barrels at an upward angle, ready to fire simultaneously. Tonight, the Rainy Season arrives.

Torrential Rain, like Gray Fog, enveloped the entire Jiangbei, bringing with it an endless chill.

But

Above the Mortal Domain.

The sight of 740 fully upgraded Godslayer Cannon firing simultaneously dispelled the chill.

The 148 fully upgraded Anti-Aircraft Cannon are sandwiched among them.

The emerald Golden Light Pillar, exploding in the air like fireworks, added an extra touch of color to the main theme of blood and Gray Fog, like a protagonist in color in a black and white film.

It was extremely conspicuous.

It was exceptionally dazzling.

It's like the strawberries on a strawberry cake. Maybe the strawberries aren't that tasty, but without them, it always feels a bit monotonous.

The Rainy Season has arrived.

The Greater Wraith led his army to attack as scheduled.

All the Mortal Domain Member stood frozen in place, looking up at the scene above them, unable to recover for a long time.

This world.

There are no movies, no TV series.

Most people have never seen anything like this in their lives. For them, the Strange Tide that surge into the City during the Rainy Season are the biggest spectacle they've ever witnessed. They can't even imagine anything bigger.

Storytellers don't like to tell stories either.

But.

They saw it tonight.

They witnessed the greatest scene of their lives.

Hundreds of thousands of Strange Entities, like lambs to the slaughter, were suspended in the air, unable to move, and were forced to endure the bombardment of artillery fire. The number of Strange Entities was decreasing rapidly.

Mixed with the Gray Fog Torrential Rain falling from the sky was crimson blood mixed with countless pieces of flesh.

The rain tonight is very red and very vibrant.

"I refuse to accept this!"

The thick-skinned Greater Wraith, hidden among the crowd, still had half a life left, but it looked critically injured and on the verge of death, roaring with resentment in its eyes, "Humans have ruined me!"

"What nonsense! A lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit? Nonsense!"

"That's all bullshit!"

If

If he were to command from the rear.

If he doesn't lead by example.

If... there aren't so many "ifs." If there were even just one, he would have had a chance to the Rise-Again Clan, but unfortunately, he didn't. The next moment...

Dozens of scarlet shells hurtled straight toward him.

The Greater Wraith gave up struggling at this moment, looked at the dozens of scarlet cannonballs, and then looked down at Chen Fan standing on the City Wall in the distance. Its voice was full of resentment and it laughed loudly like a madman.

"You'll die too, you'll die too!"

"The moment the Strange Tide truly arrives!"

"I"

"I'll be waiting for you down there, awaiting your arrival on the Yellow Springs Road!"

We'll meet again!

The sound stopped abruptly.

Dozens of scarlet shells completely engulfed him. His enormous and imposing body, Subordinate with four Greater Wraith under the Subordinate the Wraith King, was transformed into Blood Rain, merging with the misty rain.

The rain is still falling.

The Torrential Rain, like Gray Fog, enveloped the entire Jiangbei, quickly washing away all the blood on the ground. In various places in "Mortal City" and "Nameless Mountain", there were scattered bits of flesh and Eerie Stone everywhere.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

But it will drop Eerie Stone.

The War Ends.

Since the beginning of the year, when Chen Fan learned that Greater Wraith might strike Rainy Season, he had been preparing for it for a full year in order to resist the invasion of the Greater Wraith.

But things can change unexpectedly.

He never expected that this Greater Wraith would lead an army to descend from the sky, like a surprise attack.

This reminded him of a group of paratroopers from his previous life during wartime.

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan witnessed the entire Blood Rain that captivated his soul; it was beautiful, incredibly aesthetically pleasing.

The beauty of it comes mainly from his ability to stand here calmly.

Observe calmly.

Instead of fleeing in panic like last time during the Rainy Season.

The Rainy Season Defense Line, built at a cost of tens of millions, demonstrated its terrifying power on its very first appearance.

Certainly.

The enemy was also quite cooperative.

Otherwise, if the enemy attacks from any side, they won't be attacked by all the Cannon Tower firing at once; they will only be attacked by a portion of the Cannon Tower, and the firepower won't be so intense.

However, the enemy happened to fall from the sky, landing in an area where they were unable to move and where the Rainy Season Defense Line was under the most intense firepower.

It's like deliberately opening Invite the Lord into the Urn.

He was naturally happy about this.

"Even a lion has its full strength when hunting a rabbit?"

"Humanity... has misled me."

Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan repeated the words that Greater Wraith had said before he died. Without an umbrella, he stood on the City Wall and let the torrential Torrential Rain beat down on him, and laughed.

There's a saying among humans, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

There's a saying, "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it's already grazed."

"There are also prodigal sons who return home, their value more precious than gold."

A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm.

"How can a great man remain subservient to others for long?"

"It is better to be a shattered jade than a whole tile."

"As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood."

"Heroes have always emerged from among the young, and experience truly matters."

"Have you even understood it? You just grab any word and use it."

This Greater Wraith was one of the more human-like Strange Entities he encountered. Compared to other Strange Entities, it was more intelligent and, although it invaded humans, it was still relatively tolerant of human culture.

Only.

His skills are not yet proficient.

Humans never do things based on what they say.

Rather, it's about saying what you're going to say.

Deciding matters based on words alone will inevitably lead to defeat.

If you give it your all in everything you do, you'll either kill the enemy or exhaust yourself.

Then, Chen Fan looked at the "Eternal Night Lord" panel Depths of the Soul. Before the Rainy Season arrived, he obtained a Blue Grade building called "Rebirth Tower". Its effect was simple: any enemy killed by Building Institute within the territory would die completely.

There is absolutely no possibility of resurrection.

Before he died, the Greater Wraith said, "We will meet again."

He had initially thought that the other party might have a way to resurrect.

However.

A line of text was clearly displayed on the Rebirth Tower panel.

"Unexpected factors have been eliminated: 0."

Once all enemies possessing resurrection abilities or the capacity for reincarnation have been completely eliminated, a number will appear on the Rebirth Tower to indicate its role. However, when these Strange Entities have been utterly wiped out, no number appears.

This shows that this Greater Wraith monster had no means of resurrection at all.

He's just making threats.

We'll meet again.

Chen Fan chuckled and repeated the sentence. He suddenly wondered what kind of harsh words he would utter before he died, because he felt that his words were not harsh enough.

It's like deceiving yourself.

The Mortal Domain was bustling with activity once again.

Under the command of their respective captains, the Mortal Domain Member began to brave the torrential rain, clearing away the severed limbs, broken pieces of flesh, fallen Eerie Stone, and... Exotic Treasure.

Just then

A faint thud suddenly came from the City Wall beneath their feet.

Chen Fan turned from the City Wall near the Mortal Domain to the City Wall near the Jiangbei Wasteland. He looked around and saw nothing. He leaned forward and peeked out, only to find a Monkey-Head Entity vigorously pounding on the City Wall its base.

That's when I noticed him.

With a savage Violence in its eyes, it bared its teeth and roared at him before scratching the City Wall even more vigorously with its monkey claws.

Only.

Not a single speck of plaster has fallen from the City Wall.

Chen Fan silently gazed at this scene. He had seen this scene a year ago, at the Old Camp in the Jiangbei Wasteland. Back then, there was also Monkey-Head Entity that invaded and scratched at his City Wall in the same way.

However, he was still very anxious at that time.

Because the City Wall were indeed being continuously damaged.

And now.

Looking at this familiar scene, he suddenly felt nostalgic for the Rainy Season a year ago. His old friend had come to see him again after a year. However, a year ago, he was Level-1 City Wall. If he were Level-5 City Wall, he would be a full 20 meters high.

He couldn't even see such a Little Strange Entity creature unless he leaned out to look.

This was the first time he had observed a Monkey-Head Entity so carefully during the Rainy Season.

Don't say it.

With a pointed, monkey-like mouth that took up almost two-thirds of its face, covered in densely packed teeth, it looked rather unsettling. Gradually...

More and more Strange Entities rushed out of the "Gray Fog" within the range of the Eerie Fire, running all the way to the 20-meter-high City Wall, attacking the City Wall with their pitiful little claws.

The 50 Altar located on the Nameless Mountain were completely dormant at this time.

It wasn't triggered at all.

These Altar were used to repair the City Wall, but you need something to repair them first.

It's like having the most powerful graphics card installed to play a simple 4399 game, only to find that the graphics card doesn't even turn on; it wants to turn on, but it just won't.

The "Wraith Blood Pattern" on the City Wall did, however, flash briefly.

It absorbed most of the Wraith Blood that had fallen into the Mortal Domain.

If this Wraith Blood were used only on a section of the City Wall a dozen meters high, it would certainly greatly enhance the City Wall's defense. However, if used on a 14.8-kilometer-long Rainy Season Defense Line, the effect would be minimal when spread out.

There weren't many of these Strange Entities.

Only a few hundred thousand.

Certainly.

The number of Strange Entities he encountered during the Rainy Season was certainly greater than before, but it was far less than the number of Strange Tide he saw in the Jade Slip on the Ancient Battlefield. Those were truly overwhelming Strange Tide, with hundreds of millions of Ghost Beings sweeping in with ferocious force.

That's Undersea Strange Tide.

The Strange Entities in the Undersea Strange Tide are completely devoid of Sentience; their instinctive reaction is to charge and kill.

Their numbers also far exceed those of the Strange Entities under the Greater Wraith's Subordinate.

More and more Strange Entities emerged from the Eternal Night and walked into Gray Fog "Gray Fog," then rushed out from under the City Wall, gradually surrounding the entire Northbank Defense Line at the base of the City Wall.

Looking down from a high place.

It looks like a ring of Pearl bumps.

"The Bamboo Pole Entity, the Mantis Entity, the Maggot Entity..."

"You have quite a few old friends."

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, silently looking down at the scene below. The "Godslayer Cannon" was not activated. Each cannonball was expensive, and firing one of these scattered Strange Entities would be a loss.

Certainly.

Killing that group of Strange Entities, including the Greater Wraith, was also a loss-making endeavor.

One drawback of the Firepower Fear Value is that the cost of cleaning up the battlefield basically cannot cover the cost of firepower.

The Bamboo Pole Entity.

This Strange Entities, as thin as a bamboo pole, caused him considerable danger during the last Rainy Season. Standing just over three meters tall, it could scale Level-1 City Wall by simply stepping on its companions.

At this moment, he was jumping and hopping on the City Wall, trying to leap over it.

Quite cute.

Pity.

The City Wall is twenty meters high. Only if Flea Wraith comes along can we try to jump over it. And we can't jump too high, otherwise we'll Airspace Ban flying. "Oh?"

Chen Fan suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at the dozens of Strange Entities holding white lanterns that emerged from the Gray Fog. He recognized them; they Funeral Wraith. Very powerful.

The lantern in his hand can attack from a distance and can split.

A single Funeral Wraith can split up to four times, resulting in a maximum of 16 Funeral Wraith. It was this group of Funeral Wraith that forced him to move. If he hadn't ultimately killed the Funeral Wraith Chief, causing all the Funeral Wraith to perish, he would have died.

That was one of the biggest crises he had ever experienced.

The next moment

The Vein Patterns on the "Godslayer Cannon" closest to the group of Funeral Wraith were slowly lit up, and a cannonball composed of scarlet energy pierced through the Torrential Rain and landed in the middle of the Funeral Wraith.

"Boom"

This time there was sound.

The sound of the ground shaking could be heard.

A massive amount of scarlet energy, like Python, began to ricochet in all directions. The instant the Funeral Wraith was killed, the overflowing damage rapidly spread outwards, instantly clearing out a large area of Strange Entities gathered beneath the City Wall.

Chen Fan looked down at the horrific scene with a slightly strange expression. It was different from what he had imagined. The overflow damage from the "Godslayer Cannon" he had envisioned instantly Funeral Wraith the remaining fragments of the gruesome ghost.

Result

The Funeral Wraith did not split at all.

It turned into powder.

He looked at the details of the Rebirth Tower on the "Eternal Night Lord" panel, and sure enough, there were some changes.

"Unexpected factors have been nipped in the bud: 48."

The Rebirth Tower can actually curb division?

Does splitting constitute rebirth?

"Any creature killed by the Defensive Structure within the Camp's perimeter will be completely annihilated and cannot be resurrected."

Chen Fan carefully examined the detailed information about the Rebirth Tower. The white lantern was the true form of the Funeral Wraith, so each split wasn't a true split, but rather a resurrection after death, only one life split into two?

He wasn't quite sure.

The Rebirth Tower can counter all methods of division.

It is precisely this ability that can restrain the divisive tactics of the "Funeral Wraith".

However, he was unable to conduct experiments. So far, the only Strange Entities he had encountered with the ability to split was the "Funeral Wraith," a splitting method he had once considered extremely terrifying.

Nowadays.

Easily resolved.

Perhaps this is what growing up is all about.

Chen Fan stood in the Torrential Rain, took a deep breath, and then smiled as he walked down the City Wall, preparing to return to Nameless Mountain. Although he hadn't been caught in the rain for a long time, this recent downpour made him quite nostalgic.

It feels like going to eat Shaxian snacks after achieving great success.

But.

The rain was mixed with a chill.

It's best not to stay in the rain for too long, or you'll easily catch a cold.

Just then

Suddenly, a building on the "Eternal Night Lord" panel Depths of the Soul began to flash yellow light. Sensing this, Chen Fan stopped in place and looked towards the building.

Starwatching Platform.

The only spectacular building in the Mortal Domain: the "Starwatching Platform".

This building, which had been dormant for so long and was almost forgotten, began issuing warnings tonight.

The architectural effect is as follows.

"The Strange Tide movements over a large area can be observed."

During the Dry Season, there is no Strange Tide at all, but as soon as the Rainy Season arrives, Strange Tide forms, and the fact that the Starwatching Platform can issue a warning means that the direction of travel is exactly the Mortal Domain.

As expected.

About Incense Stick later.

The wind is blowing.

Large numbers of "Meatworm Wraith" surged through the Gray Fog from the Eternal Night, crashing uncontrollably straight towards the City Wall.

The Meatworm Wraith shaped like a fleshy ball.

It has no limbs.

The surface of the fleshy ball was covered with several palm-sized human faces. Unable to control its own movement, it could only roll forward with the wind, its destination entirely dependent on fate. These faces on the fleshy ball were originally cheerful.

But when blown into the Eerie Fire by the wind, it became somewhat painful.

The pain intensified as he realized he was about to crash into the City Wall.

Crackle, crackle.

The sound of firecrackers continued, and a thick, Green Grade liquid exploded repeatedly. This highly corrosive liquid began to corrode the City Wall... began to slowly corrode the city City Wall... began to forcefully corrode the City Wall... began... the corrosiveness was diluted by the rain.

It doesn't corrode at all.

The Altar was not triggered at all.

The Level-5 City Wall, standing merely on the Jiangbei, acts like Heavenly Chasm Meatworm Wraith Tide, firmly blocking the Meatworm Wraith Tide that almost always signify the destruction of City Wall City whenever they appear.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, looking down at the scene below, silently admiring it.

Humans are always like this.

I like staying in safe places and observing the dangers of the outside world.

Last Rainy Season.

The Meatworm Wraith attacked, and he frantically tried to save himself in a panic.

This Rainy Season.

The Meatworm Wraith attacked as it had last time, but he remained Immovable as a Mountain on the City Wall, quietly enjoying the fireworks that kept exploding.

Normally speaking...

The Meatworm Wraith does appear during the Rainy Season, but it's unlikely that he would encounter it right at the start of the Rainy Season. A large part of the reason is that the "Rainy Season Defense Line" covers a rather large area.

The larger the area occupied, the greater the chance of encountering it.

One by one, the Eerie Stone fell to the ground as the Meatworm Wraith exploded.

The scattered Green Grade, viscous liquid was completely absorbed by the "Wraith Blood Pattern" on the City Wall.

Only the Meatworm Wraith fell to the ground.

"What a pity."

Chen Fan turned to look at the busy Mortal Domain Member of the Mortal Domain realm. He had a building called the "Sacrificial Tower" that he hadn't used in a long time. Offering sacrifices to the corpses of Strange Entities would yield different rewards.

Certainly.

The body needs to be in a certain condition.

At least roughly complete.

The Strange Entities corpses he used to send to the Sacrificial Tower all needed to be dissected to extract all the valuables, but at least it was just bone removal and skinning, which wasn't considered excessive.

Those limbs and fragments Godslayer Cannon were a bit too much.

Completely unrecognizable as Humanoid Form.

These corpses could not be placed in the Sacrificial Tower or used for sacrifice; they could only be collected and buried in the Farmland as fertilizer.

When the enemy is not very strong.

The Godslayer Cannon received a somewhat negative upgrade.

I lost money a bit.

The hundreds of thousands of Strange Entities corpses Godslayer Cannon could not be used for sacrifice. As for the skin that fell off after the Meatworm Wraith died, it was not considered a corpse to begin with and could not be used for sacrifice either.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, looking down at the group of Strange Entities below.

The quantity isn't too large.

Just.

"Shao Qiu, Zhou Mo, come here."

Soon

The two rode Skeleton Horse, rushing out of the Mortal City and quickly reaching the base of the City Wall. They then used the "Max-Level Gondola" to quickly ascend the City Wall. Yes.

He built many Max-Level Gondola in the middle section of the City Wall.

In fact, this is the correct way to use Gondola.

His High-Speed Rail was a product of pure chance; normally, it shouldn't be used like this.

"Domain Lord."

"Domain Lord."

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and looked at the two men. "Some Strange Entities have appeared at the base of the City Wall. There aren't too many. Your Shadow Pavilion and War Pavilion will lead the people to clear Strange Entities out, trying to preserve their corpses intact."

"Your Identity Token have been prepared to Access Rights the Rainy Season Defense Line City Wall and Cannon Tower."

"In case the situation becomes critical."

The Cannon Tower can be activated at any time.

"Clear!"

The two men nodded in unison, their expressions serious.

Using Cultivator to fight Strange Entities is unrealistic. Even a level two or three Cultivators would have difficulty fighting a Strange Entities of the lowest level. The two sides are not even in the same league.

But

Within a year, the Mortal Domain Shadow Pavilion and the War Pavilion of the Mortal Realm frequently cultivated in the "Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion," and their overall Cultivation had reached level six or seven, which was enough to deal with a small number of low-level Strange Entities.

Moreover, there's a backup plan.

Consider it a training exercise, and maybe collect some Strange Entities corpses along the way.

After arranging all this, Chen Fan walked down the City Wall and headed towards the Nameless Mountain.

Mortal Domain, Nameless Mountain, Camp One.

Just like during the last Rainy Season, Chen Fan sat on the City Wall, checking the panel.

The cost of building the "Rebirth Tower" is not high.

But an upgrade.

That would be a bit difficult.

"P. S.: To upgrade to Level 2, you need to eliminate 100 unexpected factors."

No Eerie Stone are needed.

No rare or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are needed.

He only needed to eliminate 100 unexpected factors, but he felt it would be better to upgrade directly using the Eerie Stone; he had only eliminated 48 so far. Now it seems...

The only way to meet the upgrade requirements is to kill the Funeral Wraith.

He was quite interested in seeing what the Max-Level Effect of the "Rebirth Tower" would be, and roughly how many levels a Blue Grade building would need to reach its maximum level. Then...

He then looked at the other Eerie Fire information on the panel.

These Eerie Fire were placed at various Station along the High-Speed Rail Line. With the arrival of the Rainy Season, all Mortal Domain Member who had been dispatched were recalled and remained in the Mortal Domain.

This includes family members of members outside the Mortal Domain. Based on the information left in the member files, everyone who could be found was brought to the Mortal Domain, even those who were not officially members of the Mortal Domain.

But since they are working for the Mortal Domain, they must protect the safety of their families.

There aren't that many in total.

"Message Talisman" are unaffordable for ordinary people.

They lived in a chaotic world, had no fixed abode, and lacked means of communication.

Once separated by the Strange Tide, or if some unexpected situation occurs, they may never see each other again for the rest of their lives. Even if family members survive, most of them will be separated.

The phrase "start a family" is used to describe someone with great power or influence.

Ordinary people don't form families; they live together as partners.

The woman I find might have had an old man in the City before, and they haven't separated yet, they just got lost. If the old man comes looking for me one day, then the three of us can live together.

This kind of thing isn't very common, but it's not uncommon either.

And at this time

None of the Eerie Fire placed outside the Mortal Domain along the High-Speed Rail Line have been extinguished yet. Currently, the High-Speed Rail Line is relatively safe and has not been damaged. However, the Rainy Season will last for a month.

Who knows what will happen after that?

The High-Speed Rail service was suspended during the Rainy Season.

Chen Fan sat on the City Wall, wearing a coat, gazing at the Torrential Rain outside the Cave, which resembled Gray Fog. He leaned back in his chair, admiring the view. His state of mind had changed, and so had the scenery he saw.

He used Rainy Season always wish the Rainy Season would end quickly.

Now he thinks the rain is quite beautiful.

The arrival of the Jiangbei Rainy Season has caused all development in the "Mortal Domain" to temporarily halt for a month, entering a state of war, hiding behind the City Wall, and being on guard against any possible surge of Strange Tide.

But

On the other side of the New Continent, the work was still in full swing.

It got dark.

The moment darkness fell on the Eternal Night Continent, the sky over the New Continent also fell dark.

That is

The Crippled Monkey was sitting on the City Wall "New Continent No. 1 Outpost. 1" counting the number of Eerie Stone mined today. He subconsciously looked up and stared ahead, then suddenly froze slightly.

Eternal Nightfall.

The Eerie Fire within New Continent No. 1 Outpost emitted a Yellow Grade glow, like an eggshell, enveloping the entire City.

Normally, at this moment, he would only see extremely dense and viscous darkness when he looked outside, and nothing else.

But

When he subconsciously looked up, he discovered, in the dense darkness, an endless, incredibly long "eerie green light," like countless fireflies lined up in a long queue in the darkness.

That direction is precisely the direction of the "Thunderstorm Sea".

The Crippled Monkey's expression changed slightly.

He quickly retrieved Message Talisman from the sea and reported the matter in detail. After hesitating for a moment, he added, "Young Master."

"A Ghostly Green light began to emanate from the Thunderstorm Sea. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem like the seal has been broken. I haven't heard any particularly loud noises."

"It just so happens that the Jiangbei Rainy Season, Thunderstorm Sea."

"I suspect there might be some connection between the two."

That was his guess.

After doing all this, he waited patiently. After a long time, he confirmed that there was no further movement in the "Thunderstorm Sea," so it was highly likely that the seal had not been broken.

It was something else entirely.

However, he still decided to quickly drive his boat closer to take a look after dawn the next day.

Let's see if those Strange Entities are still there.

It was late at night.

The unofficial members of the Mortal Domain within the New Continent had all gone to sleep early. Only a few Mortal Domain Member were General Strange stones to the High-Speed Rail, then starting the High-Speed Rail and driving it along the Undersea Tunnel towards the Mortal Domain.

Weiwei, I'm at New Continent No. 1 Outpost today, I haven't returned to the Mortal Domain.

The Crippled Monkey specially set aside a place for the other monkeys to rest and eat.

Yes.

Although these monkeys don't need to sleep and can replenish their energy through food, they still need a place to eat. Most importantly, even if they don't need to rest, there's nothing to do after the Eternal Nightfall, so they still need to rest.

The Mortal Domain is quite humane in this respect.

People don't know when they have nothing to do.

But when the animals have nothing to do...

It will definitely stand upright.

In this area, which is planted with some trees and scattered with many large rocks, many monkeys huddle together affectionately after nightfall. Weiwei just lies on the ground watching silently.

"It's time to sleep."

The Crippled Monkey, who had come down from the City Wall, saw Weiwei lying there and followed his gaze, so he couldn't help but laugh, "What, you're thinking about it too?" "By the way, I don't know your exact age. I'll ask Zhou Mo when I get back."

"Let's see if you're an adult yet."

"Once you're an adult, I'll find you a female Sky-Swallowing Crocodile."

Weiwei, lying on the ground, looked up at the Crippled Monkey, then lay back down and gazed at the group of monkeys, a strange emotion flickering in its lantern-sized eyes.

The Crippled Monkey was slightly taken aback. He had never seen Weiwei with this expression before. He looked closely at the group of monkeys and finally realized that Weiwei's gaze was focused on three monkeys.

There was a Male Monkey, a female monkey, and a newborn baby monkey.

Two large monkeys are Weiwei the braised Chicken Leg that Weiwei gave them into strips and feeding it to the baby monkey.

The little monkey ate happily.

He grinned with every bite.

The monkey's laughter sounded strange, like crying.

Two large monkeys watched from the side, and they seemed quite happy to see them come out.

Weiwei just lay there watching this scene.

I don't know how long I watched it.

The Crippled Monkey suddenly paused for a moment, feeling a pang of guilt. He suddenly wondered if he had been thinking something too despicable.

It's all King Mazi's fault.

He's been spending too much time with King Mazi these past few days, and he's starting to get a little carried away.

After hesitating for a long time, he tried to offer some words of comfort.

"That."

"Weiwei, hey!"

"Actually, you don't need to miss your parents too much. I've been an orphan since I was little; my parents probably died a long time ago, and maybe yours are too." Slap

The Crippled Monkey, expressionless, slapped himself in the mouth, babbling incoherently. After reorganizing his thoughts, he carefully said, "At least your parents loved you; they left you Snow Lotus before they left."

"Look at the Young Master."

"When the Young Master first went to Northbank City during the Young Master Rainy Season, his father left Young Master a Grand Array."

"Besides, with your parents by That One side, they definitely won't die."

"Perhaps you'll be able to see each other again in a few years."

Weiwei, he's still a child at heart. He was a little sad just now, but after hearing these words, he tilted his head to the side and pretended to think for a while.

Then it happily crawled back to its nest.

Weiwei has built a nest in this area designated for monkeys.

I usually sleep here when I'm here.

Certainly.

The Crippled Monkey thought this might not be their den, because he saw this group of monkeys lining up to pay their respects every morning. It seemed that Weiwei had mistaken this place for the "Mortal Domain Beast Pavilion" office.

Weiwei has always remembered that he Beast Pavilion Master in the Mortal Domain.

Commanding all the Exotic Beast in the Mortal Domain.

Every time I return to the Mortal Domain, the first thing I do is find Chen Fan to hang out with, and the second thing is to go to Zhao Shengping to ask for Braised Delicacies. In the past, I was a little unsure of myself and could only open my mouth wide and wait for him to feed me.

I'm much more confident now.

Upon meeting, it immediately produced the Identity Token of the Beast Pavilion Master the Mortal Domain, pointing at Token with its claws in a swaggering manner, clearly treating the Token as a ticket to Buffet.

Now, this Beast Pavilion Master's Identity Token is Weiwei's most precious possession.

The rice bowl, which was originally the most precious item, has been relegated to a secondary position and has become the second most precious item.

The Crippled Monkey watched Weiwei's departing figure, smacked his lips, and then walked into his room. He had finished all his work for the day and it was time for him to sleep.

It's not raining here in the New Continent.

He contacted King Mazi using Message Talisman.

It didn't rain where King Mazi is either.

This indicates that the New Continent has no Rainy Season.

So far, they have been mining in the New Continent for quite some time without encountering a single Strange Entities. It's actually quite safe here, except for the heavy deathly aura.

Perhaps it's because so many people have died here, but even though there are so many of them, and they are mostly men with plenty of Yang Energy, it still feels eerie and chilly in the dead of night.

Time slowly slips away.

The Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone mined today have all been sent to the "Mortal Domain". The Mortal Domain Member who were still busy late at night have also finished their work, washed up and went to sleep.

When Strange Entities dies, it will drop Eerie Stone, and there is a small chance that Exotic Treasure will be born.

The Eerie Stone of the New Continent remain unclaimed.

This indicates that neither humans nor Strange Entities have visited the area.

Since no one is coming.

Where is the Exotic Treasure?

It's been almost a month, and not a single Exotic Treasure has been found in the New Continent, not even the simplest White Grade Exotic Treasure. It's as if no Exotic Treasure will be born in Matsumoto after these Strange Entities die.

Although it's a harmless thing.

But it still raises some questions.

The New Continent, deep within.

The "Flying Boat" floated in the air. King Mazi stood alone on the edge of the Flying Boat, looking into the darkness ahead. This was the furthest point of the "Signal Tower" under the Domain Lord's command.

Beyond here.

They lost contact with the Mortal Domain.

They will rest on the Flying Boat for the night, and set off again at Tianyi.

He pondered a question constantly when he was young.

How big is the mainland really?

No one can answer this question, just as no one can answer what the stars in the sky actually look like.

But now...

He finally had the opportunity to see for himself how big a continent was.

"Pavilion Master."

Zhang Damao, one of his men, walked up Subordinate him and said with some emotion, "The brothers behind us are completely lagging behind. We've marked several Ancient Battlefield these past few days, but Matsumoto hasn't even started excavating yet."

"The brothers behind are still digging through those Seven Defense Lines."

Currently, most Mortal Domain Member are still mining the Eerie Stone on the Island and near the First Defense Line.

"Those Seven Defense Lines might just be the main battlefields on this continent, the very Frontline."

Standing on the edge of the Flying Boat's deck, looking out into the darkness at King Mazi, he whispered, "The Ancient Battlefield we've discovered so far are not as large as those Seven Defense Lines, nor even as impressive as City Wall."

"If Yang is at the Frontline, then mining there will definitely waste a lot of space."

"The Frontline?"

Zhang Damao hesitated for a moment. "Then was that you we saw Daytime?"

King Mazi remained silent and did not speak.

As planned.

The Flying Boat should have been flying low, but yesterday they saw a huge crater in the distance. Even from a distance, they could tell that the crater wasn't naturally formed, but rather... blasted out.
