He didn't have much time left to think.

This guy was standing outside the Camp's perimeter, making him impossible for the Arrow Tower to attack. This was the first time he had encountered Strange Entities that could attack the City Wall from within the Camp's perimeter.

Furthermore, it's unclear whether the other party has obsessive-compulsive disorder or simply lacks sufficient range.

They did not attack the City Wall beneath him.

Instead, they kept attacking the four Enclosing Wall the Breeding Farm.

"Boom."

As another beam of Green Grade light shot out, the four Enclosing Wall the Breeding Farm collapsed.

His Breeding Farm is gone.

Immediately afterwards.

The man shifted his gaze to him, raised the Ghostly Green lantern again, and a beam of Ghostly Green Light shot out from the lantern, as if it hadn't cooled down at all, and slammed heavily into the City Wall beneath him.

A strong vibration was felt.

The City Wall beneath him was blasted into a huge Deep Pit.

It was repaired in the blink of an eye.

The repair speed is quite fast.

But...

He has a limited supply of Eerie Stone! Just repairing this Deep Pit has already consumed 3 Eerie Stone!

His 800-plus Eerie Stone are enough for several repairs!

"Composure."

Chen Fan took a deep breath, trying his best to remain Composure, and looked at the Funeral Wraith standing outside the Camp, raising its Ghostlight Lantern once again.

The next moment--

He pulled out 10 Level-2 Eerie Stone from his pocket and crushed them on the spot.

-

"The level of the Eerie Fire has been raised to Level 4, Safe Zone has increased to a diameter of 100 meters, enhancing the deterrent effect against the Strange Entities."

Please select an upgrade direction.

"1: The Safe Zone has been increased to 200 meters."

"2: The deterrent effect on Ghost Beings has been somewhat enhanced."

3: Slightly reduce the growth time of Crops within the Camp.

-

He quickly glanced at the upgrade options and, without much thought, chose the first one.

The area affected by the Eerie Fire reached a diameter of 200 meters.

The next moment!

The Level 4 "Arrow Fort," which was already prepared, opened fire instantly. A crossbow bolt, streaked with Flame, pierced through the rain and passed over the heads of the group of Funeral Wraith, accurately Funeral Wraith holding the Ghostlight Lantern.

This scene seemed to be playing in slow motion to him.

He instinctively held his breath.

Until the Funeral Wraith fell heavily backward to the ground.

Chen Fan finally smiled.

"Perfect."

Since the other party is not within the Camp's boundaries, we can simply expand the Camp's area.

Therefore, before upgrading the Eerie Fire, he specifically stopped the Level 4 "Arrow Fort" from operating. This ensured that he could fire as soon as the Camp's area expanded without being blocked from attack intervals. So far, it seems to be working very well.

The other side clearly hadn't realized that the Camp's area had expanded in an instant.

Is he dead?

Seeing this, the Crippled Monkey and the others stared nervously at the Funeral Wraith. The moment the Funeral Wraith appeared, everyone realized that tonight might be their last night in the Rainy Season.

Even Zhou Mo Big Fish were awakened and came to the City Wall to help.

However...

The smile that had just appeared on Chen Fan suddenly froze.

The Funeral Wraith holding the Ghostlight Lantern split into two Funeral Wraith Chief.

This is normal.

But--

Why are these two Funeral Wraith Chief carrying Ghostlight Lantern?!

After the other Funeral Wraith split, only the original body has a lantern.

"No way..."

A flicker of fear flashed in Chen Fan's eyes as he murmured, clinging to a last shred of hope.

But when the two Funeral Wraith simultaneously raised their Ghostlight Lantern, and two beams of Ghostly Green Light shot out, almost simultaneously striking the City Wall beneath him, that sliver of hope vanished.

"Boom..."

A loud crash and collapse suddenly rang out.

The City Wall beneath him was completely destroyed. His proud Automatic City Wall Repair System was too late to function. A Level-2 Arrow Tower also collapsed along with the City Wall, falling onto the City Wall.

A 3-meter-long gap appeared in the City Wall.

A large number of Funeral Wraith poured into the City Wall.

This is the first Camp in a long time that the City Wall has been breached.

"Young Master!"

The Crippled Monkey's anxious roar came from the City Wall.

The instant the Ghostly Green Light shone down, the people on the City Wall almost instinctively fled to either side.

"..."

Chen Fan wiped the rain from his face and looked at the Crippled Monkey and his companions across the breach in the City Wall. He didn't have time to worry about casualties; he only had time to shout at the top of his lungs, "Hold the Stone Steps!"

The Funeral Wraith cannot climb walls.

Even if the City Wall are breached, as long as the Stone Steps leading up to the City Wall are held, there will be no immediate danger.

"I'll see how many times you can fucking split yourself!"

The crossbow bolts from the Level-4 Arrow Fortress have been fired again.

The two Funeral Wraith Chief fell again.

But...

Then, the four Funeral Wraith Chief stood up again, each carrying a Ghostlight Lantern. The four ghostly green lights merged into a beam of Golden Light Pillar, which once again blasted towards the Enclosing Wall where the Crippled Monkey and the others were standing.

The Enclosing Wall collapsed again.

After breaching the Enclosing Wall, the attack continued unabated as it hurtled straight toward the Wooden Hut.

"Boom..."

The Wooden Hut also collapsed.

"Hold!"

Chen Fan couldn't help but curse, not only because the Camp was in imminent danger, but also because he had personally built all the buildings in the Camp, bit by bit, and now they were being so wantonly destroyed, causing him immense pain, as if his heart was bleeding.

But there was simply no time to process too many emotions.

Some of the Funeral Wraith have already raised their lanterns and smashed them at the Eerie Fire in the Camp.

All buildings can collapse.

The Eerie Fire must not be allowed to collapse.

The Eerie Fire shatters everything, rendering all buildings ineffective; it's a certain death trap.

"Shoot the limbs!"

Chen Fan roared out orders to the Arrow Tower. The Arrow Tower could receive simple commands, and although time was of the essence, he quickly found a solution: just stop the enemy from splitting apart!

He looked out of the city.

The four Funeral Wraith Chief, their arms struck precisely by crossbow bolts, were pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Fortunately, the opponent didn't move, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to hit them.

However--

The next moment, he saw the surrounding Funeral Wraith minions step forward and smash their leader to death with the lantern in their hands, and then the Funeral Wraith Chief split apart again.

Eight beams of Ghostly Green Light hurtled toward the City Wall beneath him.

Yes, eight paths!

This guy's splitting pattern is different from other Funeral Wraith; it's exponentially splitting!

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Chen Fan's lips turned pale as he scurried quickly across the City Wall in the rainy night. A hint of fear and helplessness flashed in his eyes as he swiftly crushed the Eerie Stone in his hand, creating an Enclosing Wall to firmly protect the "Eerie Fire" in the center and repairing the collapsed City Wall.

As the illusory image of the City Wall quickly solidified, the gap in the City Wall was also filled in.

This guy is strong enough to attack "Northbank City"!

He believes.

Even Northbank City would have a hard time withstanding such an attack!

"Elder brother..."

"Elder brother..."

Just then, a woman's voice, trembling with sobs, rang in my ears, mingling with the sound of rain, seemingly both from afar and right beside me.
