Eerie Eye Cannon Tower

A series of crackling sounds echoed continuously outside the city.

That was the sound of rain and Meatworm Wraith crashing against the City Wall.

"Hey-hey..."

Chen Fan found the sound exceptionally pleasant, like the sound of an Alipay payment being processed. He turned around and looked at the group of Crippled Monkey behind him, then quickly walked towards the hole marked "Meat Grinder Passage".

"Let's go up there and take a look."

This scene is truly breathtaking; you have to see it with your own eyes to be truly awestruck.

The Meatworm Wraith shouldn't be able to fly to a height of 40 meters, right?

Ascending along the winding Meat Grinder Passage, past the City Wall that obscured the entrance, Chen Fan cautiously peeked out from the opening.

He was slightly taken aback at first, then couldn't help but blurt it out.

"Grass!"

He doesn't swear very often.

But he really couldn't hold back now. Swearing is like a human's secret weapon; nobody wants to swear, but it always slips out uncontrollably at certain moments.

The Crippled Monkey following behind also peered out and, upon seeing this scene, also uttered a string of profanities.

"Holy shit!"

The same shocked exclamations from Zhou Mo and his companions, mixed with the sound of rain, could also be heard from several nearby cave entrances.

His initial plan was very simple.

Activate the "Wind Tower" and turn on "Storm Suction" to pull in some of the Flesh Strange Tide that is passing through the Canyon.

But perhaps he underestimated the power of the Storm Suction.

The weight of the Meatworm Wraith was also overestimated.

The resulting visual effect is...

A massive, visible, twisted Funnel-Shaped Airflow sucked countless Meatworm Wraith into the Canyon, not just into the Deep Pit.

It kept crashing against the rock walls on both sides of the Canyon.

The surface of the Meatworm Wraith is Brown-Black.

At this moment, it looks like a giant...

Only a few crashed into the City Wall; most crashed into the rock walls on both sides of the Canyon and around the Sinkhole. A large number of Meatworm Wraith formed screams that echoed like sound waves throughout the Canyon.

"Bang."

Chen Fan witnessed a Meatworm Wraith crashing into the rock wall, causing almost no damage, but more and more Meatworm Wraith crashed into the same spot.

The Green Grade, viscous liquid kept bursting.

Gradually, a Dark Green pit was worn away.

The monkey muttered in a low voice, "Young Master, this has caused too much damage to the Camp. After the Meatworm Wraith Tide recedes, the two sides of the rock wall will be a mess, full of these Dark Green shallow pits... Isn't it a bit unsightly? Should we fill them in afterwards?"

"Fill in?"

"No, no, no."

Chen Fan lay prone at the cave entrance, looking down at the scene below, feeling the rain pouring down on his head, his eyes filled with excitement.

"This is the best resume."

"After the Rainy Season ends, we need to formally contact other forces. We're planning to build a Market, similar to the one in North River Market."

"We hadn't even found a good spot yet."

"I've decided now. We'll place them on the ground on both sides of the Canyon, so everyone can clearly see these densely packed Dark Green shallow pits."

Everyone will know.

"Us"

"I survived a massive Meatworm Wraith Tide!"

Isn't this the best medal?

At this moment, Chen Fan was extremely excited. His original plan was "Meat Grinder Phase Two," which involved placing a Cannon Tower every five meters, covering the Thousand Meters Canyon.

Now he thinks it's too petty.

It feels like there are tens of thousands of Meatworm Wraith Tide that died in the Canyon, perhaps enough to create Cannon Tower every five meters at different heights.

"It's just a bit of a pity..."

Chen Fan looked towards the Canyon entrance with a face full of regret. The Wind Direction in the wrong direction tonight, and a large number of Meatworm Wraith Tide were passing by the Canyon entrance.

The Wind Tower, designed for "Storm Suction," are activated at full capacity.

It only sucked a small portion of the Meatworm Wraith into the Canyon; the rest were carried away by the night wind and drifted far away, like sucking hard on a piece of Cured Meat, sucking out Qiqi of the fat but not getting a single bite of the meat.

Flat City has eaten his fill tonight.

He looked at Flat City with a hint of envy.

If the night wind doesn't change Wind Direction, this Meatworm Wraith Tide will travel across mountains and rivers to reach Flat City. Imagine how many Eerie Stone they'll earn...

He suddenly realized that the Rainy Season is actually beneficial to humankind.

As long as you are strong enough.

This is the best time to quickly obtain the Eerie Stone.

There are no Meatworm Wraith Tide during the dry Dry Season.

Certainly.

If one's strength is insufficient, one will be like a lone boat on the Sea, facing an endless Meatworm Wraith Tide, trapped in endless fear and despair, just like in the Old Camp.

"It's safer here."

Thinking about this...

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh again.

Just then -

"Young Master, it's gone."

That's it?

Pulled back to reality, Chen Fan looked towards the Canyon. The enormous, twisted, Funnel-Shaped Airflow was still churning wildly within the Canyon, like churning butter, but the numerous Meatworm Wraith were gone.

There were only some gravel and the like.

"That's it?"

Chen Fan stood up, still somewhat unsatisfied. He raised the City Wall at the entrance to block it again before turning around and walking down the Meat Grinder Passage into the Cave.

"Let's go take a look."

The Wind Tower has stopped operating.

The Wind Tower, which had been attacked by numerous Meatworm Wraith, should have been destroyed long ago, but thanks to the repairs made by the Altar, it is now intact, and the City Wall has also been repaired.

"Hiccup..."

Chen Fan stood outside the Cave, looking up at the Scarlet Glow, flickering Wraith Blood Pattern on the surface of the Level-3 City Wall at the Cave entrance. He felt as if he could hear the Vein Patterns drinking their fill, and couldn't help but add his own voiceover.

The battle is over.

This guy is still frantically sucking blood.

The "Meatworm Wraith" does not contain Wraith Blood.

Only a viscous Green Grade liquid.

He didn't think it was blood.

However, the Wraith Blood Pattern clearly did not think so. A large amount of viscous Green Grade liquid flowed towards the base of the City Wall and was quickly absorbed by the Wraith Blood Pattern.

I wonder if it's just my imagination.

He vaguely sensed that the Wraith Blood Pattern seemed to have changed from its original Dark Red to a slightly greenish tinge.

Finally-

After Incense Stick.

The Wraith Blood Pattern faded again; this time, it was completely satiated.

"Good."

Chen Fan stood outside the Cave City Wall, glancing around with satisfaction. This time, the Wraith Blood Pattern had absorbed so much blood, which would definitely increase the strength of the City Wall, and it would also make cleaning up the battlefield much easier for them.

Much cleaner.

Outside the Cave, there were countless "Flesh Skin" covered with human faces. The Meatworm Wraith had no bones or flesh, just skins filled with Green Grade liquid.

After the Green Grade liquid was absorbed, all that remained was a Flesh Skin covered with human faces.

It was covered in wrinkles and looked extremely eerie.

It looks even more eerie, especially when it's completely dark overhead.

More Flesh Skin hung on the rock face, swaying in the wind.

No Dissection is needed.

The Eerie Stone rolled onto the ground, mingling with the Flesh Skin and skin like ordinary stones, covering the entire Canyon.

In this situation, Chen Fan couldn't help but recall a poem from his past life, and subconsciously altered it before reciting it softly.

"One after another, two, three, four, five."

"Six, seven, eight, nine, all flew into the Cave and disappeared."

7

He didn't understand this poem before.

Now he understands.

Upon seeing so many Eerie Stones, only the simplest numbers could perfectly express his feelings at that moment!

"Call..."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Brothers, get to work! Bring all the Eerie Stone back!"

The Crippled Monkey, including Zhou Mo, couldn't contain their excitement any longer and rushed out carrying their boxes.

It was a rainy night.

However, the 20 Eerie Fire illuminated the Canyon brightly, and with the Meatworm Wraith Tide having just passed, it was impossible for any Strange Entities to approach. At this time, picking up the Eerie Stone would be almost safe.

Even if there are Strange Entities.

The Meat Grinder is always on standby and can be started at any time.

Chen Fan grinned as he stood on the City Wall at the Cave entrance, looking down at the group of people rapidly collecting the Eerie Stone.

The Storm Suction skill is not suitable for quickly looting.

The wind is quite strong.

The Eerie Stone is not that hard.

If it weren't for the protective Flesh Skin, those Eerie Stones would have shattered when they hit the wall due to the suction force; this kind of thing still requires human intervention.

We simply don't have enough manpower.

After the Rainy Season is over, he will carefully select a group of people.

But wages are a problem.

He stood on the City Wall, pondering this matter. After the Rainy Season ended, Zhou Mo and the others would definitely have to be paid, and the people they had recruited would also have to be paid.

Nobody does anything for free.

It's a very simple principle: the Rainy Season provides refuge, but after the Rainy Season, it's all about profit. Although Zhou Mo said he'd give him his life, if he didn't give Zhou Mo a single Eerie Stone, wouldn't that be forcing Zhou Mo to be greedy? To put it bluntly, these are all grown men who've been cooped up for a month Rainy Season; they should at least have some money left to go Young Lady Brothel, right?

The Camp needs manpower.

With more people, the wages can be increased.

He didn't want to pay too many wages; he wanted to save his money for something useful.

Therefore, he planned to attract people to join his Camp with low wages and high benefits. The wages were slightly lower than the average wages of other forces, but food and lodging were provided, and there was great potential for advancement.

The reason for his generous welfare is that he has the "Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion"!

He thought this thing would be quite attractive to some Cultivator, right?

He can also demonstrate that the "Water-Cutting Saber Art" is Martial Technique that can be mastered by practicing for three months.

If Zhou Mo was able to be attracted to the Wang Family's "Gale Blade Art" and worked as Station Master for three years just for the opportunity to comprehend this Martial Technique, then his level and the even higher-level "Water-Cutting Saber Art" should be even more attractive.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction.

In this way, he can attract a group of people to work for him at a lower wage.

Certainly.

People recruited in this way will certainly not be very loyal in the early stages, and there is no question of them sticking with the Camp to the death.

However, he doesn't need to be that loyal.

Just do your job well.

In addition.

During the Rainy Season, Northbank City Peace City might fall and people die, leaving a large number of people homeless and starving. It wouldn't be a problem to find some good-natured people among them.

One hour later.

The battlefield has finally been mostly cleared.

Canyon that is Thousand Meters long.

It's not easy to clean up.

The main problem is that we can't ride horses yet.

Don't let your hoof crush the Eerie Stone.

The sick Monkey One limped up the City Wall and handed over two Exotic Treasure: "Young Master, we only found two Exotic Treasure. The rest are all Eerie Stone. The number of Eerie Stone has not yet been counted, and they have not all been put into storage."

After having Warehouse.

There's no need for manpower to count how many Eerie Stone there are.

Once all the Eerie Stone are stored in the warehouse, detailed information such as the number of Eerie Stone stored and who stored them will automatically appear in the Warehouse's "Archive Room" file. This information is absolutely accurate and there will be no discrepancies.

There were very few rare Exotic Treasure this time.

It's all Eerie Stone.

"Hmm, let me see."

Chen Fan sat in the Rocking Chair, smiling as he accepted the Exotic Treasure Exotic Treasure. It didn't matter if there weren't many; what he needed most right now was the Eerie Stone to completely complete the Meat Grinder Phase Two "!

Then we wait for the arrival of the Wraith King and the end of the Rainy Season.

Name of the Exotic Treasure: The Eerie Eye.

"Exotic Treasure Grade": Green Grade.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": An essential upgrade material for upgrading Arrow Tower to Level-6 Cannon Tower. Holding the exotic treasure grants a 10-meter visibility in darkness after the Exotic Treasure Eternal Nightfall.

"Um.

Chen Fan looked thoughtfully at the Exotic Treasure in his hand; it was a material-type Exotic Treasure.

He remembered the Eerie Eye.

Upgrading Arrow Tower to Level-5 Cannon Tower requires 300 Eerie Stone and any one of several materials, including two of them: Mourning Lantern and Eerie Eye.

He's been using Mourning Lantern to build Level-5 Cannon Tower these days.

Besides.

He also has a Green Grade Mourning Lantern, which can be used to build Level-6 Cannon Tower. However, once activated, this Exotic Treasure can fire a powerful Golden Light Pillar to fight enemies. Each activation of the Exotic Treasure will cause it to be damaged, and it will shatter after being activated 5 times.

He planned to use it four times first, and then use it to forge Exotic Treasure.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Let's try out the Level-6 Cannon Tower built with the Eerie Eye first.

To upgrade to Level-6 Cannon Tower, the following two conditions must be met.

"1: Consumes 2000 Eerie Stone."

"2: Consume any one of the following: Green Grade Mourning Lantern *1, Green Grade Eerie Eye *1, Green Grade Octagonal Conch *1."

"That's really expensive..."

Chen Fan pursed his lips, hoping the power would justify the cost.

Without much hesitation.

After consuming 2000 Eerie Stone and the Green Grade Eerie Eye in his hand, a panel popped up in front of him as usual.

"The Arrow Tower has been upgraded to level 6, becoming Eerie Eye Cannon Tower. It must be permanently placed in one location and cannot be moved freely, but its power has been increased."

Please select an upgrade direction.

1: Increased rate of fire.

2: Increased power.

3: Potential for Qualitative Transformation: The direction of Qualitative Transformation is unknown.

Chen Fan looked at his palm with a slightly strange expression. Had he been having such good luck lately? He had just recently Qualitative Transformation the upgrade path of "Storm Suction" for the Wind Tower.

Although I didn't realize at the time that it would be of any use.

But it came in very handy today.

Tell him this even more bluntly.

If you encounter a direction that Qualitative Transformation, just choose it without thinking. Even if you randomly get a bad one that renders the building useless, it's just a waste of some Eerie Stone. But if you randomly get a useful one, that's Qualitative Transformation!

"Call..."

He took a deep breath, and without the slightest hesitation, turned around, went downstairs, and strode into the Wooden Hut.

Take a shower!

Change clothes!

Burn incense!

Sincere Heart brings miracles!

Only when you take things seriously will the Eerie Eye Cannon Tower, sensing your sincerity, give you the reward you desire.

Burning incense is a figurative term.

There was no incense in the Camp, only a single "Heaven-Questioning Incense".

"I'll have to buy some incense after the Rainy Season ends."

Chen Fan muttered to himself while showering, otherwise he felt the process wasn't perfect.
