I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 14 "It moved! It moved!"

"."

Chen Fan ignored the lame monkey's excitement and instead looked at the strange fire in front of him, preparing to bind it to his master with blood. He looked down at his thumb, then at his little finger, paused for a moment, and then put his index finger into his mouth, scraped a little blood from his gums, and put it into the strange fire.

It can be considered a blood oath to be bound to a master.

This is the end.

This area also became his base.

I've been here for several days now, but I'm still a bit unwell due to the change in environment. I haven't been sleeping well, and my gums are bleeding.

"I won't be going back tonight."

He pulled an animal trap from the cart and threw it on the ground, saying as he got to work, "I'll be working here tonight."

Although he felt that the monsters were definitely in a state of flux in the darkness, and that it was impossible for all the monsters in an area to be wiped out, this was still just a guess, and only practice could reveal the truth.

Let's see how it goes tonight.

The safety here is certainly not as good as his base camp, but normally, based on experience, there shouldn't be any powerful monsters in this wasteland that would attack the monster fire. The big monster that attacked the monster fire that night was simply because he killed the younger one and then came to take revenge.

"understand!"

The lame monkey nodded excitedly, his eyes gleaming, and began setting up various animal traps outside the camp. Despite his limp, the lame monkey was quite efficient at his work.

To be precise.

In this world, there are very few people who are incompetent at their jobs.

Those who weren't able to move around properly all died.
In a world where death can happen at any moment, it's hard to live a life of luxury.

"call"

Chen Fan squatted on the wasteland, looking at the brown, cracked wasteland in the distance. He stuck out his butt and found a comfortable position to squat on the ground to defecate. The wind was quite strong today, and it stung a little when it blew against his skin.

The weather is gradually getting colder, and winter is approaching.

Before leaving, he gave the arrow towers instructions: any creature entering the camp should be given a warning to attack, and if it refused to leave, it should be shot dead.

I'm not worried about my house being robbed.

With two level 2 arrow towers standing there, who could possibly raid his base?

After a while.

He carefully picked up a handful of weeds from the side, and only after making sure there were no fuzzy thorns did he start wiping his bottom, and then washed it with water.

The conditions were somewhat rudimentary.

It's alright, I guess. It's acceptable.

He didn't really like wiping his bottom with grass leaves, mainly because he had used nettles to wipe his bottom once when he was a child, which left him with a lot of psychological trauma.

Night falls.

The instant the sun sets, an intense darkness sweeps in from the horizon, engulfing the entire world.

Not a ray of light could be seen.

The only light came from the eerie fire nearby.

This makeshift camp had no buildings other than the ghost fire; there wasn't even a simple wooden hut or a place to shelter from the wind.

"No."

Chen Fan curled up on the ground, his face slightly pale.

There were no more ghost stones in the ghost fire at the main camp. Before leaving, he added a ghost stone to the ghost fire at the main camp. The ghost fire for building the new camp consumed 3 ghost stones, and he added another ghost stone as fuel.

At this point, he only had 3 Mysterious Stones left in his pocket.

Speaking from my heart.

He really didn't want to spend two strange stones to build a wooden house; it was too extravagant. But for some reason, the temperature suddenly dropped tonight, and the wind was blowing very hard. If he kept blowing like that all night, he seriously suspected that he might be suffering from hypothermia.

They froze to death.

Even if they don't suffer from hypothermia, they will definitely fall seriously ill. If they catch a cold in the wilderness, there will be nowhere to get treatment.

As for the ghost fire, it has no temperature at all; it's not a real flame and can't bring any warmth.

The lame monkey, clutching a spear, was trembling uncontrollably. It was so cold tonight.

"."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth slightly. These three strange stones were his last bit of leeway. The strange fire at the base camp was only enough to burn for one night, and he really didn't want to use up this last bit of leeway.

at this time--

"Tick."

A drop of icy, cool rain fell on the back of his hand.

He paused for a moment, looked up at the pitch-black darkness above, and stretched out his palm to feel it. It was raining, and it was raining heavily.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the raindrops turned into a downpour, and the downpour continued to grow.

this time.

Without further hesitation, he immediately took out two strange stones and threw them into the air. A phantom of a wooden house made of white lines quickly appeared in the air and, with the help of a milky white liquid, quickly solidified and landed in the camp.

"Lame Monkey, come inside!"

As Chen Fan plunged into the wooden house, he looked at the lame monkey, who was still outside in the rain, gripping his spear and staring at the rope on the ground, and roared.

I was still hesitating.

I was wondering if I could hold on a little longer.

There's no need to hesitate now.

If it were just a drop in temperature and strong winds tonight, there might be a chance they wouldn't suffer from hypothermia, but with the torrential rain and no place to take shelter, they're sure to freeze to death here tonight.

At this point, there was no room for error.

Let's make sure we don't freeze to death tonight first.

如果
If there are no results tonight, then this attempt will have ended in failure.

Chen Fan stood at the entrance of the wooden house, looking at the few hemp ropes in the camp that were unresponsive to the torrential rain, and sighed silently. He couldn't say that his decision tonight was wrong, after all, he was trying.

However, his tolerance for mistakes is too low.

One failure nearly exhausted his tolerance for error.

"Master."

The lame monkey stood helplessly to the side, holding his spear. The events of the night had completely taken him by surprise. He wanted to do something, but he couldn't help at all, leaving him with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"It's okay."

Chen Fan shook his head and said softly, "There will always be a way. At worst, I'll swallow my pride and go see Station Chief Wang tomorrow."

In fact, if he were to go to Jiangbei Market, he could quickly acquire a large fortune with his low-cost Ghost Fire. However, he currently lacks the ability to hold onto this wealth, and there is a high probability that he would be forcibly kept in captivity if he went there.

at this time--

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Suddenly, Chen Fan heard the excited shouts of the lame monkey. He instinctively looked over and saw a rope on the ground swaying wildly, indicating that the trap at the end of the rope had caught its prey.

Chen Fan was overjoyed, but before he could make a move, the remaining four ropes also began to shake violently.

Five prey animals stepped into the trap almost simultaneously!
"quick!"

Chen Fan rushed into the heavy rain with a hurried and excited tone. He didn't care about getting soaked. He quickly grabbed one of the ropes and pulled hard, dragging a trap into the camp. The trap held a strange-looking creature.

It looks like a large silkworm pupa.

Extremely obese, the size of a human infant, chubby and rather creepy.

Its mouthparts are extremely disgusting, taking up nine-tenths of its head.

He didn't have time to examine the creature's appearance closely.

The lame monkey, who had also rushed into the rain, was now leaping into the air with his spear, just like Runtu catching a badger.

A direct strike to the head, piercing through in one blow!
Simple and neat!
