The skeleton monster was like a soldier who had been on the battlefield for a long time. It pulled the bow into a half-moon shape.

Swish!

​​

The arrow flew out.

"This is bad!"

Gale felt a sense of danger and rolled off the bed.

The moment he got off the bed, the arrow pierced through the window and slammed into the wall.

If he had been there earlier, he would have been killed by this monster!

The situation became more dangerous. The monster already knew where Gail was.

Initially, he had planned to take advantage of the fact that the monster did not know where he was to launch a surprise attack. That way, he would have a higher chance of winning.

Gail did not expect this monster to be so sensitive.

Once night fell, the monsters' senses would be heightened. The slightest movement could expose their location.

Gale's mind raced.

Seeing that his arrow did not kill the target, the skeleton monster put away its bow.

It knew where its target was, so it continued to move toward Gail.

It even took out a stone sword from somewhere. Clearly, it was ready for a direct battle.

Crack, crack, crack.

The grinding sound got closer and closer. The skeleton monster was already at the door of the house.

It could see Gail's position through the window.

Waving the sword in its hand, it directly broke through the wooden door in front of it. In just a few seconds, the seemingly sturdy wooden door was reduced to splinters.

At that moment, information about this skeleton monster appeared in Gail's mind.

[Skeleton Soldier: Undead creature. Expert at using longswords and bows. Slow Movement. It is a low-level monster with low attack power!]

Huh?

Slow movement!

Gale instantly caught the key information.

This would be the key to defeating this monster.

At that moment, Gail was completely exposed before the skeleton monster.

This was also the first time that he had made eye contact with this monster!

The eyes of the skeleton monster shone with a strange blue fire, just like the flames in hell.

Gale knew that he could not avoid it. He could only face it head-on.

He raised the Iron Sword in his hand and aimed it at the monster.

The skeleton monster raised its longsword and pointed it at the human before it.

The blue fire in his eyes flickered faster like he had encountered something exciting.

Just as Gail was about to move, the Iron Sword seemed to sense something and began to shake violently.

Alice, the Sword Spirit within the Iron Sword, appeared.

Alice glared at the skeleton monster before her. She immediately understood that this was her master's enemy!

Naturally, she could not be polite to her enemies.

Alice's hands turned into two small swords, which shone with sharp lights.

Without any hesitation, she charged toward the skeleton monster.

Swoosh!

Two light blue sword rays shot toward the skeleton monster!

It was so fast that the skeleton monster did not even have time to react before the attack landed on its body.

Crack!

The sharp blade cut through his bones, and the skeleton monster's hands were cut open.

The longsword in his hand fell to the ground. The monster without hands naturally did not have the ability to fight.

Alice waved her hands again, and another few sword rays shot out.

The skeleton monster still wanted to run, but how could it be faster than the sword rays? It was directly shattered.

It roared unwillingly and turned into bones before disappearing.

Seeing that the monster had been eliminated, Alice floated to Gail like a child seeking praise.

Gale reached out and rubbed Alice's head.

"Well done!"

Alice's appearance could be said to be too timely. If he were to do it himself, although it could be resolved, he knew that it would not be so easy.

"Sword Spirit Alice has received your praise. The power of her Swordsmanship has increased by 30%!"

A blue light enveloped Alice before dissipating.

Alice stood there like a sharp blade.

Gale put Alice back into the Iron Sword and picked up the bones and threads that were scattered on the ground.

Bones were good things that could be turned into Bone Powder.

Bone Powder was also very useful. It could accelerate the growth of crops like fertilizer!

Since he would be able to use it sooner or later, he would naturally keep it all!

The only pity was that the longbow on the skeleton monster did not stay, or else it would have added a long-range weapon.

Overall, he had gained a lot.

Gale was already very satisfied.

"City Lord Level → Level 2"

Blue light enveloped Gail's body, and his strength rose another level!

Looks like killing monsters could also meet the requirements to level up!

Tonight's harvest was not small. First, Alice's strength had increased, and then his own level had increased by one!

Presumably, the other City Lords would not level up so quickly!

Gale did not choose to rest immediately. Instead, he patrolled the area outside. After making sure there were no monsters, he returned to the house.

He also increased the height of the fence, or else he would be discovered if he ran into monsters that could use bows and arrows.

He summoned Alice and had her guard him.

Gale, who had been busy the whole day, soon felt sleepy.

He fell asleep in a daze.

Morning...

A ray of sunlight shone on Gail's face.

Feeling the warmth, Gail got out of bed.

The first thing he did after waking up was to open his Skills Interface.

He had not added the points that he had gained last night!

After thinking for a while, he decided to use this opportunity on [Construction] and [Forging].

This way, he would gain more experience and gold when he created items.

It could be considered something that could continue to develop, something that was absolutely necessary for a city!

Gale opened the Construction Platform and a new object appeared.

Forging Table!

However, the materials required were a little expensive. It needed Iron Blocks to be created.

An Iron Blockrequired nine Iron Ingots!

Gale still decided to get the Forging Table. There were many things that required Forging Table to be done later on. It was considered an essential item.

After he combined the Iron Ingots into Iron Blocks, he could begin to create the Forging Table.

The Forging Table was different from other things. Due to the fact that it was made of metal, the forging speed was slower.

Gale was not in a hurry.

He pushed open the door and walked out. The two sheep were still there. They had not been killed by the skeleton monster last night.

These two sheep were also the source of Gail's meat, so there could not be any accidents.

After patrolling everything, Gail ate breakfast and returned to the house.

He opened the [Core] interface and reached out to touch the button [Chat].

He wanted to see if there were other City Lords chatting there.
