Chapter 424: The Tower
“Staying up all night, why didn’t it cause death to all of you…”
Apollo complained softly. He originally thought that these monsters would stop and rest at night, and he didn’t expect that there were some that were different and still moving at this time.
However, what Apollo couldn’t figure out was why the monsters that moved at night were still moving at this time.
Apollo took a glance and then saw a scene that made him feel a little disgusted.
The nocturnal monsters were not for anything else. It was precisely because the other monsters had fallen into a deep sleep at this time that it was the best time for a sneak attack.
A jackal-like monster slowly approached another buffalo-like thing in front of it with blood-red eyes.
Then, the jackal opened its mouth and probed the buffalo’s neck a few times. Finally, it suddenly opened its mouth.
Silently, one monster was killed by the other.
Apollo had the urge to spit, but considering that he was still on the tower, he could only hold it in.
In fact, these monsters usually moved alone. There were not many monsters in groups to begin with.
Moreover, different types of monsters had gathered at the foot of the Great Wall, and vowed to take down the Sky Dynasty.
This must be mainly due to the guidance of the administrator. Otherwise, how could the Sky Dynasty be so attractive?
However, it was only discovered today that some of these monsters would kill each other. This was undoubtedly a good thing for the Sky Dynasty.
As long as these jackal-like monsters ate a few more of their comrades, the Sky Dynasty would be able to escape sooner or later.
While thinking about this, Apollo planned how to build the tower.
First of all, it was troublesome enough to climb up the tower every time. They still needed to use divine power to climb up.
However, the Sky Dynasty obviously did not have enough raw materials now.
After the Black Trees left, the island had become a wasteland. It was a place where people could not find any wood, bricks, or stones.
Therefore, the only materials that could be used were the bones of the giant monkey that His Majesty had brought back.
These bones were not too many, but they were not too little either. Even now, no one knew what they could be used for.
Apollo took out a piece of bone from behind him and used it to hit the tower.
The tower and the bone were from the carcass of the giant monkey, so the sound they made was as hard as steel.
Apollo could only gather his divine power on his finger and expand his domain.
But this time, Apollo was extremely calm. He forced himself to settle down and feel the flow of power.
His Majesty had told him about the principle of the “flashlight”, which made Apollo gain some insights from it.
If the domain gathered into a fan shape, it could become a lighting tool like a flashlight.
Then, what if it continued to gather and completely gathered the domain into a single line?
While Apollo was thinking, after a while, a dazzling light shot out from his finger.
This light was white, even purer than the color of the sun. It was obviously cold white, but at this moment, it made people feel as if the high temperature was hell.
Apollo carefully bent down and poked a hole in the tower, which was exactly the size of a broken bone.
Then, Apollo stuck the broken bone in, and an originally round tower bulged out.
Apollo intended to use this bulge to make a fixed pulley.
Now they had no other materials, so they could only make do with the broken bones.
But in fact, these broken bones were also very tough things. Apollo used his domain to burn for a long time before a hole appeared.
Apollo took the rope, hung it on the bone bulge, and then jumped down.
The others immediately understood what Apollo meant. This way, it would be much more convenient to send some things up from now on.
The first batch of things to be sent up on the rope included a daily amount of water and food, a pair of crystal-glass binoculars, a bow and arrow, and a clever young man.
Now, the overall thinking of the Sky Dynasty had changed. Previously, they had set up the tower to attack the enemy from a high vantage point, but now it seemed that the Sky Dynasty needed to conserve more energy.
Therefore, the tower had a crucial role at the moment, which was to observe the monsters’ every move and take on the responsibility of being the eyes of the Sky Dynasty within the Great Wall.
“Remember, if there are less than 10 monsters, you can deal with them on your own. If there are more than that, issue a warning immediately.”
Apollo said a few words to the people who went up.
Previously, with the advantage of the Sword of Victory and Spear in the air, as well as His Majesty’s extraordinary divine sense, the Sky Dynasty had never had any doubts in investigating this area.
But now, whether it was the Sword of Victory or Spear, they had all followed His Majesty to the fourth level.
After doing all this, the Sky Dynasty welcomed its first night without His Majesty.
At night, Apollo could not sleep well for a long time, and his thoughts were erratic.
In addition, there were occasional sounds of friction outside the Great Wall. It was unknown whether the monsters were still rubbing the Great Wall with their claws, or whether the jackals were devouring their companions.
Apollo found that Simmons, who was beside him, could not sleep either, even though Bulanda, whom they had been guarding, was snoring.
“Simmons, you can’t sleep either?”
Simmons gently waved his hand when he heard this question.
“Apollo, you’re the Commander Now. It’s normal that you can’t sleep, but guess what I’m worried about now.”
Apollo did not know how to answer this question for a moment. It was indeed as Simmons had said. The reason he could not sleep was because he had taken over the commander’s banner. This was a heavy burden for him.
Simmons continued to explain, “I always had a question, but when I thought that everyone was about to leave the third level, I therefore didn’t think about it in depth.”
“But now it seems that this is a question that must be considered.”
“Why are the monsters outside so united?”
His question floated in the tent. At the same time, everyone who was not asleep listened quietly.
Simmons said softly, “As a native here, many times, my understanding of these monsters is as proficient as your understanding of all kinds of weapons.”
“But whether it’s my own knowledge or wild legends, these monsters who are enemies with each other can never gather like this.”
“The administrator, ” Apollo replied, “I know what you are trying to say. It was the administrator.”
