I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Chapter 17: Chapter 013: Level 5 Dark Demon Wolf

Zhou Bai didn't sleep well at night, worried that Demon Beasts might attack his territory. He would periodically wake up to check the situation on the Lord Map, as it was the most direct way to see what was going on outside.

After dozing off for a while, Zhou Bai opened his eyes and glanced at the map in a daze.

This time, the sight jolted him wide awake.

Demon Beasts were actually attacking the territory under the cover of night! @@novelbin@@

He got up and saw an increasing number of little red dots outside Hope Village. Zhou Bai's first reaction was to issue a task to the Guard Team and also notify the residents of the territory.

[Task: Demon Beast Attack, Defend the Territory]

[Nature: Temporary Task]

[Reward: All gains are personal property]

[Executor: Guard Team, all Residents]

As soon as the task was issued, Zhou Zhengping and his Guard Team members saw it immediately since they were on the night watch.

"Go wake up Captain Li!" Zhou Zhengping ordered Feng Lezhi and Quan Ziqiang, two subordinates he planned to cultivate after reviewing their profiles.

"Yes." The two responded and hurried to wake up Li Xingteng and his group, who were sleeping by the campfire.

They were tired from the first half of the night watch.

Suddenly awakened, Li Xingteng and the others were somewhat groggy.

Li Xingteng, who had been on the first half of the night watch, was suddenly woken up, his head still spinning a little. He asked, "What's happened?"

"Demon Beasts are attacking!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingteng instantly became alert and quickly led people to the gate. Naturally, he had also seen the task issued by the territory and couldn't help feeling his heart skip a beat.

"How many Demon Beasts?" If the territory was breached, what would they do?

Spit spit spit! The territory would definitely not be so easily overrun!

"Not sure, but there won't be a small number!" Zhou Zhengping said seriously, his mind already on when Xiao Bai would arrive.

"What about others?" asked Li Xingteng. He saw that the territory had also notified the regular residents. Involving everyone's safety in the territory, they would definitely not back down.

Zhou Zhengping replied, "The territory has sent out a notice, they should be here soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, they saw many people rushing out from their houses in the residential area of the territory, each holding weapons and wearing panic on their faces.

"The Demon Beasts have come? Where are they?"

"We must make sure they regret coming!"

"With the territory here, with the protective shield, as long as we try hard, we can definitely hold out."

"Exactly, didn't the territory remind us during the day?"

"The territory is really reliable."

"..."

On the scene, everyone spoke in turn, using words to vent their emotions and bolster their confidence. Sure enough, everyone's expressions gradually became resolute.

The survivors who had just arrived today felt a strange sense of calm upon hearing these words.

In truth, they had it rough! Slaughtered by Demon Beasts, scattered to the winds, they had come to the territory, and finally found a place to rest, only to encounter a Demon Beast attack in the middle of the night.

If something really happened to the territory again, they didn't dare to imagine what the outcome would be.

Noticing the worry on the faces of the new survivors, the surrounding people quickly comforted them and offered advice.

"So far, the types of Demon Beasts should be just those few. Magic Rabbit needs to hop around. We can attack when it jumps, and its weak points are on the belly and ears—one shot, one kill."

"Demonic Chicken, it can make sonic attacks. Before it attacks, it's best to cover your ears, and if you have some rice on hand, you can throw some. They can't resist the temptation. That's when you can strike."

"Demon Rat, they love to sneak attack. They burrow and might pop out of the ground suddenly, but you can watch the ground's movements to perceive it beforehand."

"As for weapons, our territory's Blacksmith Shop currently sells Iron Axes and Long Spears; it depends on what you prefer. Use Iron Axes for close combat, Long Spears for short-range attacks."

"If you're still worried, go to the tailor shop and buy a Leather Armor Three-piece Set to increase your defensive power."

"Don't think that because the weapons and leather armor are expensive, you shouldn't buy them. After buying them, killing Demon Beasts, you can earn it back in minutes."

"It's not that exaggerated, at least it will take a little time."

"I'm just saying it's really worth it!"

"..."

When Zhou Bai arrived, what he saw was a scene of everyone chattering and giving advice, his lips curling into a slight smile. In difficult situations, the brilliance of human nature always felt warm!

"How come the tailor shop and the Blacksmith Shop are closed?" At this time, some of the new survivors asked urgently. They had just gone to rest earlier, figuring that they could buy weapons tomorrow if needed. But then, in the middle of the night, the sudden Demon Beast attack caught them weaponless, which was really embarrassing.

"They have business hours, they close at night. So anything you want you'll need to buy during the day," someone explained. "Use whatever weapons you have for now!"

"All we have in our hands are some sticks, dropped when we were collecting wood. They have low durability and do low damage," someone said with a wry smile.

After arriving in the territory, they realized just how outdated their equipment was, and not to mention their weapons, even their levels were generally quite low.

Because on their way here, they had mostly been avoiding demon beasts.

Looking at the people who arrived earlier, they had already summed up their experiences fighting with demon beasts. In just one day, they had widened the gap between them. Tonight, if ordinary weapons were used, the gap might become even larger.

Zhou Bai heard this and immediately reminded, "When we first arrived, I saw that the door had been open to deal with a potential night attack from demon beasts. Those who need to should hurry up and buy what they need!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a group of people swiftly headed toward the direction of the tailor shop and the blacksmith shop.

Meanwhile, the majority of people, wielding their weapons, stood behind the territory's fence, continuing to watch the silent darkness outside, eyes showing vigilance.

Zhou Bai took Ding Qiurou over to Zhou Zhengping's side.

Seeing the two of them, Zhou Zhengping's expression softened instantly, and he said directly, "You two will stay with me later!" It was more reassuring to have them by his side.

"Okay," the two of them agreed in unison.

"I wonder when these demon beasts will reach our territory?" Zhou Zhengping glanced at Zhou Bai, seemingly offhandedly.

"They should be close!" Zhou Bai said flatly. "When the territory notified us, they must have already been nearby. Based on the movement speed of the demon beasts, we need to be ready at all times."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward the front.

On the Lord Map, the red dots were still increasing steadily, densely packed as if they suddenly sprouted up, and they were getting closer and closer to the territory.

Finally, someone saw it!

"Eyes! I see glowing green eyes! What kind of demon beast is that?"

Hearing the man's exclamation, when the others looked over, they saw pairs of glowing green eyes emerging one after another in the dark night ahead.

Clearly, this was not any type of demon beast they had encountered before.

It was a new appearance!

At this moment, many people felt a sudden pressure in their hearts.

Gradually, one of the demon beasts entered their line of sight.

A jolt went through everyone's hearts as they looked.

[Creature: Dark Magic Wolf]

[Level: **]

[Introduction: Keen hearing, often socializes in packs, frequently chases prey, bullies the weak.]

[Attributes: **]

Li Xingteng immediately exclaimed in disbelief, "I can't even make out its level. That means it's above level 4."

Others couldn't make it out, but Zhou Bai could.

This Dark Magic Wolf was the same level as her, reaching level 5.

For some reason, seeing the level of this demon beast, she got the feeling that it wasn't by chance.

Setting that aside for the moment, Zhou Bai gripped her Iron Axe more tightly. Tonight, there seemed to be a tough battle ahead.

At the scene, many people were also taken aback.

A demon beast higher than level 4?

In a situation where almost everyone was level 2 or 3, this seemed particularly formidable. They hadn't yet caught up to their previous levels, and now demon beasts of such a high level appeared. What about the future?

While many people's thoughts were scattered, the Dark Magic Wolf let out a shrill howl.

Following his call, hordes of Shadow Demon Wolves began to swarm behind him, densely packed, and the looks in their eyes were greedy, as if they were about to tear them apart and devour them any moment.

Under the silent night, no one knew how many demon beasts were behind them, and the psychological pressure on everyone present skyrocketed.

Yet many stood firm, returning the gaze, gripping their weapons tightly.

What of a level 5 demon beast? They also had powerful weapons and so many people!

It was either death for them or extinction for the creatures. They absolutely couldn't retreat!

An intangible struggle began then and there.

Zhou Bai involuntarily thought of the introduction about them.

Bullies the weak!

The Dark Magic Wolf would assess the strength of its prey and target the weak spots.

Just as Zhou Bai was thinking this, the eyes of the level 5 Dark Magic Wolf scanned to one side, locking onto a group of people who were shivering.

It was the new survivors who had just come back from buying weapons.

Having experienced a massacre during the day, it was really hard for them to settle down when facing high-level demon beasts.

As they became afraid, their aura naturally weakened.

In the next instant, the level 5 Dark Magic Wolf howled again; in the next moment, its figure burst forward, rushing directly towards where that group of people was, its massive form enveloping them.
