Chapter 0008: Spirit Wood Fence

How to do it specifically

Mo Ling elaborated in detail

Mo Ling shook his head

This depends on the size of the island and the abundance of food available on it. If food is scarce on a deserted island, the number of sea monsters that come ashore will not be high, and their strength will not be too formidable. This solitary island is somewhat desolate, and even cultivators are reluctant to reside here, so it is estimated that not many sea monsters will appear. However, a few will certainly come to the island in search of food. For us martial artists, even a random sea monster can be extremely deadly

Thinking of his process of healing himself, Mo Ling couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration in her heart, unsure whether to hate or to... Regardless, she was hurt and needed someone she could trust to protect her

Certainly, Ye Mo has a pitifully few merits—he does not take advantage of others, nor does he rob for wealth or lust. Although he possesses a slight pettiness typical of a small-town merchant, he cannot be considered a bad person

According to the time spent at sea and navigating on the ocean, it should now be the first few days of the month, with only a little over twenty days remaining until the end of the month. We are few in number, so we must seize the time to construct a sufficiently strong city defense

East China Sea, solitary island

As the Princess of Donglai, she possesses a beautiful appearance and is a member of the royal family of the Donglai Kingdom, holding a prestigious status

City Defense

Across the campfire

Mo Ling pondered for a moment and said

We will use this cave as a temporary camp, and the most important aspect of the camp is the defensive wall. We are unable to construct a high-quality hard rock wall; we can only build the most basic wooden wall—a spirit wood fence

Ye Mo gritted his teeth, feeling a terrifying threat and immense pressure. If he could not survive the great tide at the end of the month, it would be a dead end, and everything would be over

Under the adoration of countless stars, she naturally possesses ample pride as her capital

She had no choice but to pretend to be completely unaware of the previous healing process in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment

Ye Mo's expression was grave; he was uncertain of Mo Ling's thoughts, but he had to survive on this island

Ye Mo nodded

Alright, let's do it! There is no time to waste; I will go chop the spirit wood and build a spirit wood fence! You rest in the cave, and I will be back shortly.

How long is it until the end of the month? Will we have enough time to repair the defenses

She is not very confident in Ye Mo's abilities

I will go too

Ye Mo realized the seriousness of the matter from Mo Ling's serious expression, and instinctively tightened his grip on the Qingfeng sword in his hand

Ordinary wood cannot withstand a strike from a sea monster; at the very least, it must be first-grade spirit wood. During the day, while I was searching for body tempering herbs on the island, I noticed that there were a small number of low-grade spirit woods on the island. The texture of low-grade spirit wood is extremely hard, comparable to that of iron.

Ye Mo was surprisingly calm, thinking quickly. He did not notice the subtle and complex changes in expression on Mo Ling's face

She somewhat despises Ye Mo, this commoner martial artist, believing that he is unworthy to reside in the same cave as herself

How many sea monsters will ascend the island with the end-of-month tides each month

Mo Ling surveyed the cave and said, "This cave is very sturdy. We will rely on this cave as our base and construct a defense; this is the only way. However, we are currently only two people, and I am also injured. I have little confidence that the defense we build will withstand the assault of the sea demon beasts"

Ye Mo nodded, refraining from further conversation, and quietly awaited the continuation from Mo Ling and the *Tushu*. Mo Ling certainly knew more about dealing with the sea demon beasts than he did and had more effective methods.

The most important thing right now is how to repel the sea monster of the end-of-month tidal wave, so that there will be time to think about other matters

In the late night, a cave on the island was ablaze with a roaring campfire

The tides of the East Sea will gradually bring a small number of sea monsters ashore. As time progresses and the end of the month approaches, the tides will rise more violently, with the wave at the end of the month being the most ferocious

The noble youths of Donglai Kingdom, upon seeing her, appeared as if they had lost their souls, incessantly trying to curry favor with her, yet she could not be bothered to respond

Although she had no experience in combating sea monsters, she had heard her grandfather recount some stories of battles against sea monsters in Donghai Xian Village, and she knew a few strategies to some extent

She needs Ye Mo to help build a sturdy camp

Did your grandfather ever mention any strategies to deal with the sea monsters that surge onto the island at the end of each month during the high tide

Mo Ling originally thought that Ye Mo would not be able to resist acting on his own accord, but unexpectedly, he showed a great deal of self-awareness and asked for her opinion

Ye Mo hesitated for a moment

She glanced up at Ye Mo across from her, feeling somewhat awkward in her heart

Mo Ling struggled to get up.

Ye Mo, a commoner of humble origins, is naturally inferior in appearance, status, and position to those noble youths. It is likely that her martial skills and cultivation are also quite rudimentary. In the context of everyday life in Donglai Kingdom, she would not even attract a second glance of interest.

However, she is injured and needs a reliable warrior to protect herself. The young warrior before her seems quite genuine, with only a slight stinginess and not much cunning. Therefore, even though she had to endure having up to 4 inches of Blood Red Vine taken by Ye Mo, she had no choice but to tolerate it

Waves surge onto the beach one after another, tumultuous and overwhelming, as if they are intent on swallowing this island.

Moreover, she has admired her grandfather, who is a cultivator, since childhood and is determined to embark on the path of cultivation. She holds no affection for the young nobles of Donglai Kingdom, who only seek pleasure and show no ambition for self-improvement

Mo Ling's expression was grave

Regardless of success or failure, we must go all out to confront the sea monster that has ascended to the island

This left her with mixed feelings

Ye Mo deeply agreed. The sea monster was an existence as powerful as an immortal cultivator, completely on a different level compared to a martial artist like him

We will cut down the hard spirit wood to create a spirit wood fence, enclosing this cave along with the books. Then we will rely on the spirit wood fence for defense, repelling the sea monsters. The relatively weak sea monsters will not be able to destroy this hard spirit wood fence in a short time. When the sea monsters charge at the fence, we will attack them to drive them back

Regardless, he must strive to do it with all his might

Well, I have already recovered somewhat, it is not a problem. You do not know the location of the spiritual wood, wandering alone in the jungle at night is very dangerous. I will go with you to cut the spiritual wood, it will be faster.

Although she does not practice martial arts diligently on a daily basis and has only reached the mid-stage of body refinement as a martial artist, she has mastered the advanced "Feather Spirit Sword Technique," which is most suitable for women in the Donglai royal family, to an extraordinary level. Those ordinary mid-level martial artists are simply no match for her

Mo Ling lightly uttered two words, "The immortal villages of the East Sea rely on building city defenses to guard against the assaults of those sea monsters! For the time being, we cannot construct a ship to leave this island. To survive on the island, we must endure the sea monsters brought by the high tide at the end of the month. The best way to deal with the sea monsters is to rely on a sturdy camp defense."

Apart from these, in her eyes, there is almost nothing of value.

But your injuries have not yet healed
