19: Night falls, mournful ghosts

The night was as dark as ink.

The moonlight, cold as frost, scattered down, illuminating the vast land.

Gazing at the darkness outside his territory, Su Bai slightly narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself, "This is the first night in the Land of Redemption."

A system announcement automatically appeared before him.

"Announcement: Night has fallen. Mysterious monsters will awaken at night. Please be careful."

"Mysterious monsters!"

Su Bai looked at the ten Zerglings frolicking within his territory and wondered if the StarCraft Zerg units could stand their ground against those mysterious monsters.

Of course, he wasn't someone who would blindly rush in.

There was nothing to lose even if he didn't try such a thing.

Both school and Military Region classes had heavily emphasized the night in the Land of Redemption.

Here, when the sun set, the moon rose, and night fell,

many special monsters would appear.

They would only awaken at night, either falling into slumber during the day or simply disappearing.

Unlike the wild beasts like the Barren Wolves he encountered during the day,

monsters appearing at night often possessed some special abilities.

Therefore, during the Military Region classes, Wang Zhenguo, the person in charge of Newly Promoted Lords, had stressed many times that upon first entering the Land of Redemption, one should never leave their territory and wander around after nightfall.

Otherwise, a slight carelessness could lead to utter destruction.

Su Bai was someone who listened to advice.

So, tonight, he wouldn't go out.

Then, he walked towards the small wooden house in the center of his territory.

This was considered every Lord's small dwelling in the Land of Redemption.

Inside, basic living items like a wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden stool were arranged.

"Time to sleep. I hope I can recruit a more powerful unit tomorrow."

Su Bai lay on the wooden bed, covered himself with the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep... Meanwhile.

Bai Mengyu was standing at the edge of her territory, gazing at the darkness outside.

"Night, for other Lords, is full of obstacles and difficulties, but perhaps, for me, it's an opportunity."

Blood Elves had a racial talent: night vision.

Under the influence of the power of nature, the Blood Elves' pupils evolved, allowing them to see everything clearly even in the ink-dark night.

In other words, Blood Elves could see in the dark, and their field of vision was even wider than during the day.

As darlings of the night, darkness was the Blood Elves' home ground.

As a Lord, Bai Mengyu also gained the Blood Elf racial talent of "night vision."

"It's truly powerful; I can see even more clearly than during the day!"

A faint green light emanated from Bai Mengyu's pupils, and the objects in the darkness instantly became clear.

She looked at the six Blood Elf Archers behind her and whispered, "Sisters, follow me. Let's see what we can gain in the darkness."

Nightfall, while full of danger, also brought many opportunities.

Firstly, many beasts that were active during the day would enter a state of sleep at night.

Bai Mengyu could use her night vision talent to kill sleeping beasts with a single blow.

This would not only reduce casualties but also greatly speed up the killing of enemies and allow her to acquire more resources.

Furthermore, some special ruins might appear in the darkness.

If she was lucky, she might gain a lot.

Enticed by the wooden treasure chest she unexpectedly obtained during the day, Bai Mengyu also wanted to go out tonight and try her luck.

"Follow me, slow your pace, and report immediately if you discover any monsters."

Bai Mengyu quickly ran, speaking softly.

The six Blood Elf Archers, longbows in hand, followed closely behind her.

A moment later.

"Lord, there's a sleeping giant bear three hundred meters to the right."

"Follow me to kill it!"

Bai Mengyu's eyes lit up, and she changed direction, rushing over.

Upon getting closer, she discovered it was a Level 7 giant bear.

If she were to fight it during the day, it would take a lot of effort, and she might not even be able to kill it.

But now, it was very simple.

"Aim for its head, one shot, one kill!"

Bai Mengyu said quickly.

The six Blood Elf Archers slightly narrowed their eyes, drew their bows, nocked their arrows, and shot in unison.

"Whoosh!"

In a flash of lightning.

The arrows hit precisely.

The giant bear didn't even have time to let out a scream before it was killed.

"Strong Beast Soul"

"Quantity: 1"

"Automatically decomposing"

"Soul +28"

"Hint: Dropped item, obtained 5 primary energy gems."

Wow!

So satisfying!

Bai Mengyu's face was beaming with a smile.

Indeed, with her night vision ability, killing sleeping monsters in the dark was simply too powerful.

"Not bad! Continue exploring!"

Bai Mengyu was in high spirits, leading the Blood Elf Archers to advance into the darkness ahead once more.

After advancing about five hundred meters,

suddenly, a dark shadow appeared ahead.

"Wait, something's happening!"

Bai Mengyu whispered.

Relying on her super night vision ability, she looked closely.

This time, she saw it very clearly.

It was a humanoid monster, draped in a dark, tattered skirt, floating above the ground.

It had no physical form, existing like a ghost.

Its body would occasionally become transparent and then turn solid.

In its left hand, it carried an old-fashioned oil lamp, emitting a faint green light.

In its right hand, it held a rusty, long-bladed pair of scissors.

Most striking was the huge tombstone it carried on its back.

"This monster looks a bit scary!"

Bai Mengyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and with a thought, the monster's detailed information appeared.

"Wailing Wraith"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Level: Lv12"

"Description: A wraith wandering in the darkness, carrying a heavy tombstone on its back, as if narrating the grievances of its former life."

"Note: Immune to normal physical attacks."
