I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 8 "Name of the Strange Treasure": Monkey Head Mushroom Seed.

This monkey-headed ghost is still alive.

It was clearly visible that it was opening its mouth and roaring, but no sound could be heard, indicating extreme agitation.

Looking up at Chen Fan, it opened its blood-red mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and roared silently in a threatening manner.

She struggled desperately, but couldn't break free at all.

Each time it swung its claws, it left a trail of black smoke in the air.

"Stab!"

The lame monkey beside him had already thrust out his spear in the first instant, accurately hitting the monkey-headed ghost's mouth, and quickly pulled it out and thrust it in again. Soon the monkey-headed ghost was lifeless and fell to the ground.

"Well done."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. So far, the progress was going smoothly, and he might be able to collect more than 10 strange stones tonight!
This is a very good start.

Tomorrow, he'll use these strange stones to make more animal traps, and if he keeps snowballing, he'll soon be able to escape his current resource-scarce situation.

The original knife was too short.

They are easily injured.

So they took a stick from the wooden house, tied a knife to the end of the stick, and made a simple spear, which worked quite well.

"Digging up a corpse."

Chen Fan threw the animal trap back into the darkness and gave the order.

The strange stones that have been dug out can be used again to make "beast traps". Although there is no extra rope, they can still be used once more tonight. Even a small mosquito is still meat, and this is not mosquito meat.

in the following time.

Chen Fan stared intently at the ropes, like a fisherman, constantly pondering his next move.

Manpower is a big problem.

He currently only has one man, Lame Monkey, which is not enough. If he had one or two more people, they could help him weave hemp rope right now.

soon--

A strange stone was dug out of the "monkey-headed ghost's" head and placed quietly on the ground. Just then, another rope began to sway. Chen Fan immediately jumped up from his chair and pulled the rope forcefully.

Another monkey-headed ghost, trapped in a bear trap, was brought into the camp.

The lame monkey, who had been waiting, thrust out his spear once more.

The two have developed a certain level of understanding and cooperation.

Another strange stone arrived, but this time, something extra dropped as well. After the monkey-headed ghost died, a white glowing object was spat out of its mouth, like a handful of sand.

"Master!"

The lame monkey's eyes lit up: "We've dropped 'Strange Materials'! After killing a strange creature, fragments of its corpse will form 'Strange Materials.' For example, the 'Strange Skin Map' is made from the scalp of a human-skinned ghost and crafted by a weapon refiner."

“The private tutor taught it in class.”

"only."

"This doesn't look like a rare item, since none of the other monkey-headed ghosts dropped this. Monkey-headed ghosts are supposed to be rare items; it's more like a 'rare treasure'!"

"Exotic treasure?"

"It should be a rare treasure. A very small number of strange creatures carry some special rare treasures. After killing these strange creatures, you will obtain these rare treasures, such as building blueprints, etc. The value varies. They are treasures that can only be obtained by killing strange creatures and cannot be artificially created."

"But you need to go to the market to find an appraiser to find out exactly what it is."

"."

Chen Fan didn't speak. He picked up the clump of sand and gravel from the ground. It was covered by a nearly transparent film, like fish eggs. A panel slowly popped out in front of him.
-
"Name of the rare item": Monkey head mushroom seed.

"Rare Treasure Grade": White.

"Effect of the rare treasure": It needs to be planted in 'farmland' and takes three days to mature. Consuming it after it matures can enhance physical fitness.
-
He nodded thoughtfully, "Seed-type."

Does this require an appraiser?
Isn't it clearly written on the panel?
He roughly understood this world. Whether it was architectural blueprints or rare treasures, everything could be viewed directly through a panel, but the natives of this world couldn't see the panel, making the process extremely cumbersome. That being said...
He could go to the "Jiangbei Market" to browse the goods. He can see the panels of all the rare treasures, which is much more direct than asking an appraiser. He might even be able to find a bargain.

“I know what this is.”

Chen Fan stuffed the clump of seeds into his pocket, took the strange stone that the lame monkey handed him, which had been dug out by the monkey-headed ghost, and after making two, he made another animal trap and threw it into the darkness, saying, "Let's get to work."

Time passes little by little.

Sudden.

The thick, viscous darkness quickly receded, the eternal night ended, and the rising sun once again enveloped the entire world.

Its daybreak.

"call"

Chen Fan let out a long breath, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, and felt a little tired after a busy night. He wondered how those fishermen managed to fish all night long; it must be physically demanding.

But a barely suppressed smile shone through his tired eyes.

Last night's harvest was very fruitful.

A total of 37 monkey-headed demons were killed!

He used two of the Mysterious Stones to invest in "beast traps," and now he has 35 Mysterious Stones left.

Current total assets of the camp.

There are a total of 5 bear traps and 35 strange stones.

"Go to sleep first."

Chen Fan waved his hand, signaling the lame monkey to go inside and rest first. He didn't continue investing in "beast traps," mainly because he wasn't sure if there were only so many monkeys around. The first half of the night had been fruitful, with animals taking the bait every now and then.

But there are very few in the latter half of the night.

It takes a long time before one bites.

He suspected that there might only be so many monkey-headed ghosts in the vicinity, or that the ghosts preferred to be active in the first half of the night.

"."

at this time--

He suddenly frowned and looked outside the safe house, where he saw a lone animal trap placed on the wasteland, with a wisp of white monkey hair stuck to it.

Now he is very familiar with this hair.

It was the hair of the monkey-headed demon.

It was clearly dropped during the struggle; the monkey-headed demon couldn't escape the animal trap, unless...
As he stepped forward to retrieve the animal trap, he picked up a wisp of monkey hair and rubbed it between his fingers.

Its fur is stiffer than that of a regular monkey-headed demon.

Could he be the leader of this group of monkey-headed demons?

Did you sense a large number of monkey-headed ghosts dying tragically in this area last night and come to investigate? Do you have to come again tonight?
"."

Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The man in the green robe made it very clear when he left that, apart from some weak monsters, most monsters only disliked the monster fire and did not want to get too close, but they were not unable to get close. If it was as he thought, there might be a great crisis tonight!

Preparations must be made in advance.

He had originally planned to develop a farmland for growing monkey head mushrooms, but that plan had to be put aside for now; he needed to get through tonight's crisis first.

He focused his gaze on one of the basic buildings on the Night Lord's panel.

Level 1 arrow tower.

It can deal some damage to low-level ghosts and requires 10 Ghost Stones to craft.

This is it!
He placed 10 strange stones on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, and mentally confirmed the construction in the panel.
