"Did you go make yourself throw up?"
"..."
Chen Fan's lips twitched slightly. He took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead, and remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't sleep tonight. I 'Open Gate. Go and bring back all the General Strange corpses, and start a fire to Roast Meat!"
"Clear."
The side of the City Wall away from the Crocodile slowly disappeared into the ground. Crippled Monkey and the others pulled the Handcart, carefully and cautiously making their way to the edge of the cliff, keeping an eye on the Crocodile lying at the foot of the City Wall.
Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan held the Ghostlight Lantern in his hand, ready to deliver a fatal blow if the Crocodile suddenly attacked.
However...
The Crocodile showed no intention of attacking; instead, it lay quietly and expectantly beneath the City Wall, its mouth agape, patiently waiting.
"I don't find it tiring at all."
Chen Fan rubbed his jaw. This guy's mouth had been open the whole time, and after staring at it for a while, his own mouth felt a little sore and numb. Then he looked at the Crocodile lying under the City Wall and gave it a serious encouraging look.
"If you want to eat something delicious in the future, you should bring your own Ingredients like you did today."
"However, the Roast Meat will shrink when grilled."
"Although there are hundreds of Strange Entities corpses here, not many will be roasted, you know that, right?"
The Crocodile lying beneath the City Wall quickened its slapping rhythm on the ground with its tail, its enormous pupils filled with joy and anticipation.
Daylight broke.
Zhou Mo, sporting dark circles under his eyes, swayed precariously on the City Wall, looking at the Crocodile that had finally departed with a lingering gaze, turning back every three steps. His voice trembled as he said, "Station Master..."
"He ate 127 Strange Entities corpses in one night..."
"It looks like this is barely enough to fill you up."
"..."
Chen Fan didn't speak, but silently watched the Crocodile's departing figure. Its belly was bulging, indicating it had eaten quite a lot, and its crawling speed had slowed down considerably. After pausing for a while, it finally said softly, "Alright, everyone go to sleep."
The original plan was to get a good night's sleep right after the Housewarming Feast.
But I was busy all night last night.
To be honest...
She has absolutely no culinary skills whatsoever.
At first, some seasoning was added, but later there wasn't much salt left, so no seasoning was added at all, and it was simply roasted over a fire. Even so, the Crocodile ate it with great relish.
The corpse of this Strange Entities creature is inedible to humans; it will kill them.
Only this guy can consume it without restraint.
After the Crippled Monkey and the others all returned to the Wooden Hut and went to sleep.
Chen Fan then began to take stock of the Camp's current resources.
Last night we obtained over 600 Eerie Stone. With the remaining ones from building the Level-3 City Wall, the Camp currently has 4755 Eerie Stone. Roast Meat is also a time-consuming task, and with a shortage of manpower, grilling 127 meats is already the result of a whole night's work.
The remaining corpses of the Strange Entities were collected and used for fertilizing Farmland and as offerings to the "Sacrificial Tower."
"Not bad."
Chen Fan looked at the two Exotic Treasure in his hands and suddenly laughed. If this guy could bring his own Ingredients every day when he came for meals, he would be happy to charge for processing them.
The Camp is severely understaffed, and manpower must be replenished as soon as possible after the Rainy Season ends, otherwise many things cannot be operated simultaneously. For example, Zhou Mo has not been able to go to the breached Station in the wild to collect resources for several days.
-
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Skywake Cannon.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": White.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": A one-time use Exotic Treasure. Once activated, it can instantly dispel darkness in a large area for ten breaths.
-
This is one of the two Exotic Treasure.
Equivalent to a flare.
Its value is incalculable. If he were to spend Eerie Stone to buy it, he would be willing to spend 100 Eerie Stone. Sometimes it's quite important to know clearly what situation you're facing; at least you can die knowing why.
The other Exotic Treasure is...
-
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Sunflower Seed.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.
"Effect of Exotic Treasure": It needs to be planted in "Level-2 Farmland", and the maturity cycle is 7 days. After maturity, consuming it can increase one's Cultivation.
"Planting conditions": The more praise and encouragement a plant receives during its growth period, the higher its yield and the better its appearance will be after maturity.
-
Experience pills that can directly increase Cultivation —a good item.
The seeds are wrapped in a transparent membrane.
After Qi Chong wakes up, hand it over to him.
After doing all this.
Chen Fan looked towards the Canyon Passage directly opposite the City Wall. His next plan was to build a City Wall at the entrance of the Canyon Passage, as the Canyon he was currently in was a natural barrier.
Located at the bottom of a cliff.
Very few Strange Entities can descend from the cliff into the Canyon like divine soldiers. As long as they don't encounter the Strange Entities from when the Big Fish Village was destroyed, there shouldn't be any major problems. The only way to enter this place is through this Canyon Passage.
He needs to set up defenses at the entrance to the Canyon Passage.
But we can talk about that when he wakes up; he's going to sleep now, he's too sleepy...
Just then--
The Canyon Passage faintly echoed with the sound of tremors. The Crocodile had returned, its once swollen belly now visibly flattened. It returned to its usual spot under the City Wall, mouth agape, waiting with a hint of anticipation in its eyes.
"..."
Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan remained silent for a moment, his face expressionless, before finally asking in a hoarse voice, "Did you go to induce vomiting?"
But soon, he noticed something in the Crocodile's mouth... a strangely shaped stone?
It looks a bit like a cape.
But it's much bigger than a cape, and its overall color is emerald green, which is quite beautiful.
He vaguely realized what was happening and asked hesitantly, "Is this your toy? You want to give it to me?"
It's unclear whether the Crocodile understood or not.
It simply used its tongue, pressed tightly against its lower jaw, to push the Cape Stone out, then crawled back a few steps, its flat head bobbing up and down, as if hoping that Chen Fan would take the stone away.
Seeing that Chen Fan hadn't made a move for a long time.
It took a few more steps forward and swallowed the stone, then ran to the other side of the Cliff Face and scratched at the wall with its front paws, quickly creating a hole. It then kept pointing its head towards the Canyon Passage.
It turned its back to Chen Fan and kept wagging its tail.
"..."
Chen Fan looked at the scene before him with a slightly strange expression. This time he understood. This guy had come specifically to thank him and had brought his favorite toy to give him.
But perhaps sensing that he didn't like the gift, the guy wanted to take him back to his "lair" and let him choose a toy himself.
This scene touched him slightly.
He didn't actually mind forming a partnership with the Crocodile, since he could gain Exotic Treasure and Eerie Stone. However, the Crocodile was clearly unaware of this partnership; it only knew that it had eaten a delicious meal all night and wanted to give its best to its friend as a token of its friendship.
"This guy..."
He couldn't help but laugh, his gaze falling on the hole that the Crocodile had dug into the Cliff Face.
The mountains here are extremely hard.
It would take him ages to bombard it with Level-5 Cannon Tower, but this Crocodile could dig a hole in no time with its claws.
