Chapter 430: The Second Night

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Even though it was already evening, the beach was still bright and sunny.

This was mainly due to Apollo’s contribution. After he received the monster skin stripped of by Simmons, he found a shelf and hung the monster skin on it.

However, considering that the sunlight in the Ghost Swamp was not very sufficient, Apollo directly opened his own Sun Domain to let the monster skin bask in the sun.

Of course, Apollo definitely did not use his divine power to activate his domain for this purpose. The Sky Dynasty’s people were still busy today. As the temporary commander, Apollo was not suitable to personally go out and work. Therefore Apollo thought of providing the others with light.

At night, everyone gathered together and began to eat their first meal.

Their food was very simple. It was nothing more than bacon that they carried in their luggage. They swallowed it with water.

However, their bodies were still much stronger than ordinary people. Divine power was a very strange thing. It was as if as long as they were in the right environment, even breathing could absorb divine power from the air. And some of the divine power could also be converted into nutrients to maintain the body’s movement.

Apollo checked the current stock. At this rate, the water and food in the Sky Dynasty could last for a month. After that, some people might not be able to last then.

Looking at the moon, Apollo sighed.

The Sky Dynasty ushered in the second night when His Majesty was not around. During that day, they built a second tent, which was from a bag of luggage and other materials found by Sharena.

At this point, the Sky Dynasty had a total of five tents. However, considering the current number of people at 45, and nearly 10 seriously injured people who needed to be taken care of separately from the others, furthermore in order to prevent the sudden inclement weather and the materials and food needed to be covered by a tent, therefore at this moment, there were still more than a dozen people living in a tent.

Aside from this, after a day of hard work, the three towers had already achieved a certain degree of completion.

The first was to consider the two functions of the towers. One was for on duty, and the other was to provide high-altitude firepower during the decisive battle.

Some of the people on duty needed to stay on the tower for a long time. This tower was made of the bones of the giant monkey, and the bone marrow was also emptied by His Majesty, so the inside of the tower was hollow. There was a huge hole at the top, and it was like a chimney.

So everyone made a net and laid it on the hole at the top of the tower. Then, they spent some effort to nail the perimeter of the net onto the tower.

Before that, all the people on duty had to stand at the edge of the tower very carefully. In fact, their foothold was less than the size of a palm. It was a torture to both the body and the will. The people who were on duty on the first day slept until now before they had the energy to move around.

After the net was made, the people on duty could sit on it.

In their words, the size of the mesh in the middle of the net had gone through a heated discussion.

Finally, it was made to allow something to pass through. They said that they needed to consider the excretion of the people on duty in the tower. If they needed to come down when it was convenient, then no one would notice if the monsters attacked at this time.

This was strongly opposed by Bulanda. His opinion was that he would rather have an extra person on duty than release the excrement so casually.

Then Bulanda said a lot of words that he did not quite understand, such as “human civilization starts from learning to deal with their own excrement” and “if you do this, even the body of the god-king will not be able to withstand it.”.

When Apollo thought of this, he glanced at the tower. He thought of how the hollow interior of the tower was about to be used rationally, but Apollo could not explain it in one word.

The Sky Dynasty indeed did not think of this problem before…

As everyone would not stay long in the same place…

And now, if they were to stay in one place for a long time, this hurdle was inevitable. Apollo also vaguely felt the importance of this matter. If they did not want to be smelly to death by their own people before the monsters attacked, he had to come up with a solution.

These matters weren’t particularly important. At present, Apollo was most worried about issues such as food and drinks.

Although Sharena had only gone out for a few hours and brought back a batch of luggage, it was enough for everyone to use for a while.

However, if there wasn’t a stable source, the food brought along would sooner or later be exhausted.

Apollo’s original hope was the wheat seeds in some backpacks. However, this was already proven impossible this morning. In this poisonous land, the things that were grown would also be poisonous.

As for the white wheat that Simmons mentioned, he didn’t know where to find it.

Moreover, according to Sharena, there was still no way to get out of the swamp.

However, Apollo had also told them that they didn’t need to find a way out from now on.

Now, all the monsters in the Ghost Swamp were targeting them. Even if they went out of the island, they would only go from a dangerous place to a more dangerous place. Thinking of this, the island was protected by the Great Wall and a wide swamp sea, it was actually the safest place.

Speaking of the swamp sea, Apollo could not help but feel a headache.

It was a sea of extremely thick mud that surrounded the island they were on. That was why it was called an island here.

It was because of this mud sea that the monsters could not swim across and reach the island.

There were monsters in the mud sea, which were the mud monkeys previously.

However, now that the mud monkeys had turned into a giant monkey, it had been killed by everyone.

As for the monsters on the island, after the giant monkey died, its skeleton actually started to move with the remaining divine power, using its own body to build a bridge.

For this, the Sky Dynasty still had two things to plan.

First was to cut off the skeleton of the giant monkey. Otherwise, there would be an endless number of monsters that would continue to climb onto the island. Just the number of monsters looked terrifying.

Second was to be on guard against the land behind them. One day, they might discover that there were monsters that could swim and come ashore from other places.

Although the mud monkeys had been cleaned up, no one could guarantee that there would not be other monsters that could swim here. Apollo looked at the empty island behind him and could not help but shiver.
