After storing all the items he had collected into the warehouse, Cole made the doppelganger disappear.
‘I forgot to buy a gun belt. It’s still not enough.’
Cole put the necklace around his neck and closed his eyes, pouring spirit power into the necklace. A psionic wave flew out of the necklace, and the feeling of being reflected allowed Cole to see the entire manor clearly.
“There’s empty land in the north, south, east, and west. The Otherworld creatures in the space can attack from any direction. I need to think about how to set up a defense.”
“A trench war? I’m afraid that the number of my subordinates can only support a trench war now. With the support of the Divine Tree, a trench war that continues to expand outwards can be tried, but there should be other methods as well. Let’s give it a try.”
Cole thought and began to move quickly. When he was less than twenty meters away from the crack of lightning, Cole stretched out his hand. Following that, his entire body circulated his energy. A stone wall that was more than ten meters tall was erected. Cole then followed the crack of lightning, he wrapped up his manor.
At the same time, he also left a gap in the stone wall that was the same distance away. It would allow the invaders from the Otherworld to come out from this exit. If the calculation was correct, as long as a certain amount of troops were placed around this gap… It would be able to lock this place tightly. Not even a fly would be able to fly in.
Other than these gaps, Cole, who felt that it was not enough, began to modify the ground. A large amount of soil was dug out, forming a small hill.
“After processing this soil, it should still be usable. I’ll firm it up on both sides of the gap so that they can only attack along the route I’ve set. The defensive effect will definitely be very strong.”
Cole seemed to be in control. A large amount of soil began to change and its density continued to increase. In the end, it was like a small mountain that was placed on both sides of the gap. It was continuous, and his spirit was drawn out like a tide.
Looking at his preliminary work, Cole nodded his head in satisfaction,
“The terrain of a tower defense game has to be decided by yourself.”
Cole, who had not thought of a better way to improve it, returned to the small wooden house and waved at the B1 Battle Droids, who had a dumbfounded expression on their faces.
“From now on, you guys will circle around this circle and defend. If you see anyone coming through the gap, just kill them. There’s no need to ask.”
“Roger roger”
The B1 Battle Droids started to move quickly.
Cole sat back on the wooden bed. He lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. This time around, he had almost used up all of his spirit energy to modify the terrain of the manor. He felt that his head was swelling up.
“Hmm… if I had known earlier, I would have done it bit by bit. It’s not good for me to be too impatient. I can’t take it anymore. I have to lie down for a while.”
Cole lay on the wooden bed. As he pinched the bridge of his nose, he slowly fell asleep.
This time, Cole slept very soundly. Even the sound of the ripening fruit and the upgrading of the Divine Tree did not wake him up.
He slept until the night of the next day. When he woke up, he was still a little confused.
“Eh? Wasn’t it already evening when I slept? It should be daytime. Why is it nighttime?”
After calling up the system, Cole realized that he had slept for an entire day. He suddenly patted his face.
“F*ck, I wasted an entire day! I must be more careful next time!”
Cole quickly created a doppelganger and asked him to bring 1,000 Food Fruits to Gold Coast City. At the same time, he quickly buried the Life Fruit and Weapon Fruit in the pit.
Although the Divine Tree could not grow at night, Cole still heard the familiar notification sound.
[Secondary Divine Tree is absorbing water. Growth Cycle -0.1]
[Secondary Divine Tree is absorbing water. Growth Cycle -0.1]
“I have to speed up. I still have to think about how to improve my defense. It would be great if I had some powerful defensive weapons.”
Cole did not realize that he was already like the other Tree Masters, sinking into a deep anxiety.
After spending an entire night thinking about his defense, when Cole saw the sun on a new day, he felt a little relieved.
‘Anyway, it’s still early, isn’t it? There’s no need to settle everything in one day.’
Sitting on the ground in front of the small wooden house, Cole ate his Cultivation Fruits and Energy Fruits one by one.
‘Improving myself is what I should do now. I should have done most of the defensive arrangements. The rest is just icing on the cake.’
“Burp!”
[Ding! Your cultivation level has increased: 6-7]
Cole suddenly felt that he could control the muscles on his legs, even the muscles on the soles of his feet.
Cole, who was filled with curiosity about his current body, asked the B1 Battle Droid to bring over a withered tree.
After taking off his shirt, Cole took a deep breath at the tree that was as wide as a person’s embrace. He raised his right hand.
The next second, the skin on his right arm was full of veins. He slashed down heavily!
Crack!
Cracks appeared on the tree’s bark! Following that, with a strange groan, the withered tree was split into two!
“Phew… Is this my current strength?”
Cole raised his leg again, and the muscles on his thigh instantly tensed up. One of his legs was like a steel knife.
With another tearing sound, the withered tree was broken again.
“I’m already so strong just by reaching Level 7. Then how about at Level 10?”
Facing the withered tree, Cole completely released his anxiety. When the B1 Battle Droids patrolled here, they only saw a mess of tree dregs.
“Phew! I’ve finally vented my anger.”
Reaching out to wipe the sweat off his face, Cole returned to the small wooden house. He looked at the still somewhat simple wooden house and scratched his head.
“After this invasion, I want to build a bigger and better house.”
Just as Cole was making plans for his future residence, there was a rush on [Xuebang Xiaowei]’s side.
“The Weapon Fruits are still not available?”
“The price is too high. We don’t have that many resources.”
“What about the water circulation system in the various manors?”
“It’s almost done, but I think it’s unrealistic to rely on the water circulation defense alone,” Xiao Qian said as she tapped on the table in front of her.
“I think we need more people to carry out the defense. We need to buy a large number of Life Fruits to hatch subordinates.”
[Xuebang Xiaowei] sighed slightly.
“Xiao Qian, you have to know that we don’t have many resources. Even if we go to the Trading Mall to buy them now, we might not be able to buy them. How about this? I’ll give you a share of 100 Energy Fruits and 20 Water Crystals. You go and buy some high-quality Life Fruits.”
Xiao Qian scratched her head and nodded. She also knew that their small alliance did not have many resources, so it was impossible for them to have all the resources. Right now, the production of the water circulation defense system had almost used up all their resources.
“You should also raise your cultivation level while you’re at it. Don’t get killed so early.”
