Chapter 54: Crypt Weaver
Darkness submerged the Earth, and the most dangerous moment of the day quietly descended.
The temperature difference between day and night in this world was extremely great. At night, it was the time when wood, coal, and other materials were consumed in large quant.i.ties.
Romon sent a message to tell him that it was not easy to collect wood at this time, but he had already gathered more than half of the stones.
Mcgee was not in a hurry. The construction of the puppet factory would at least take place tomorrow.
The danger at night was not only the cold, but the more active monsters were also a great threat to the Beast Masters.
After the protection period ended, the home would be attacked by pa.s.sing monsters at any time, and it would gradually become stronger with the pa.s.sage of time.
Mcgee quietly watched the communication between the other Beast Masters in the chat room. He knew that the monsters that would attack the home at night were basically level-three to level-four monsters.
They were nothing to him. Two level-three sentry towers could easily solve these problems.
However, there were also unlucky people who encountered level-five or even level-six monsters that came to the wooden house and were immediately killed.
Mcgee only needed to be slightly on guard against such things. With the Heavenly Eye Spiders taking turns to guard the house, he did not need to worry too much.
After a thrilling and exciting day, Mcgee planned to have a good rest on his comfortable and soft bed.
However, accidents were never romantic. In the middle of the night, a group of uninvited guests broke through many traps and rushed to a place less than 50 meters away from the wooden house.
“System notification: Your territory has been attacked by the lv. 5 crypt weaver! Please repel them!”
The continuous shooting of the arrow tower and the rumbling of the catapults woke Mcgee up from his sleep.
Ever since he came to this world, Mcgee, who had always been vigilant, did not sleep very well. He walked out of the wooden house immediately.
The tamed beasts were already ready in front of him to protect him.
“What’s going on?”
At night, Mcgee could not see the situation outside clearly. This made him want to go to the trading area to see if there were any electric light blueprints or something like that.
But now was obviously not the time to do these things.
“It seems to be a spider-type monster.” Omori hid in the back.
“Omori, go to the arrow tower and control the crossbow arrows. Don’t come down.”
Under such circ.u.mstances, Mcgee could not guarantee his safety.
“Master, I’ll go and take a look!”
The Little Spirit Fox volunteered. Her body turned into a stream of light and rushed into the darkness.
The next second, flames soared into the sky. The red flame’s light illuminated a small s.p.a.ce.
Only then did Mcgee see the monster’s introduction. His expression quickly became serious.
Name: Crypt Weaver

[Bite]: The basic skill of a carnivorous beast, and the Crypt Weaver has powerful tearing ability. It can further expand the wound and cause bleeding.

…
The sneak attack actually came from a bronze-level monster.
The fire in the sentry tower soon died down. Only then did Mcgee remember that he had not replenished the ammunition for the sentry tower. So what he was firing now was only a little ammunition that he had brought with him when he was making it.
“Little Spirit Fox, come back. Everyone, be careful not to get hurt. Rely on traps and protect yourself from long-range attacks!”
Mcgee looked at the surrounding mountains and plains filled with Crypt Weavers and quickly gave the order.
This monster’s ability level was very ordinary, and it was even the type that the Little Spirit Fox suppressed. However, there were too many of them, and they were poisonous. If they were bitten, it would be troublesome.
The Little Spirit Fox did not rush far before she was immediately called back.
“Fire walls cover the ground, don’t let them get close. Heavenly Eye Spiders use flying webs to restrict those crypt weavers that broke in. The rest, focus fire and kill!”
Mcgee quickly gave the order, and the few beasts quickly got busy.
The Little Spirit Fox’s fire wall formed a flame barrier around the courtyard. The hot and violent energy burned the Crypt Weavers so much that they did not dare to get close.
Even if a small number of Crypt Weavers squeezed in through the gaps, they were immediately restrained by the Heavenly Eye Spider Queen’s flying webs. But, then, they were instantly killed by the small spiders and the Chameleon’s skills one after another.
Soon, b.a.l.l.s of light appeared on the ground. Those were the special lights of treasure chests.
Mcgee could not help but be a little expectant. There was a certain probability that a bronze-level monster would drop a silver chest. Although the probability was not high, as long as one could drop one, the reward would definitely be much better than dozens of bronze treasure chests.
The Crypt Weavers’ screams rose and fell. Although they had a certain level advantage, they could not break through Mcgee’s defense line quickly.
Fear of fire was their only weakness.
Mcgee, who could see the weakness of the target, just happened to make use of this weakness against them so that the monsters whose strength and number far exceeded them could not do anything to them.
“System Notification: Your Heavenly Eye Spider Queen’s level has increased.”
“System notification: Because your beast-taming Heavenly Eye Spider Queen’s level has exceeded the master’s own five levels, you will not be able to continue to gain experience.”
“System Notification: Your three-elemental Spirit Fox’s level has increased.”
“System Notification: Your Invisible Chameleon’s level has increased.”
“System Notification: Your Invisible Chameleon skill claw strike’s level has increased.”
A series of sounds rang out.
The strength of the tamed beasts was steadily increasing.
However, the good times did not last long. After killing nearly half of the Crypt Weavers, the flame on the Little Spirit Fox’s tail suddenly dissipated, and her body fell weakly to the ground.
