They weren't even living beings; they were just a group of undead corrupted by darkness, left only with the instinct to seek out life.
As Ye Chen's floating island appeared, they all opened their scarlet eyes and looked sharply in this direction.
The scent of a stranger fascinates them, making them eager to devour the fresh meat immediately.
And indeed, some dark ghouls did do just that, driven by their instinct to feed, leaping toward the floating island.
In the dark world where gravity is insufficient, such behavior is perfectly normal, yet all of these dark ghouls were blocked outside the shield.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Ye Chen immediately ordered. He had already spotted the small black box on the meteorite, so he was determined to eliminate these dark ghouls as well.
"Moon Blade!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xi's Moon Blade flew out and directly cut down the two dark ghouls.
On the other side, Ye Ling's arrow also shot out, piercing through a dark ghoul, scattering rotten bone fragments all over the ground.
The Dark Ghoul, which was only at level 0, couldn't even last a single round against them. If it were a Familia that started at level 0, it wouldn't be so easy.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling had a limited number of arrows, and stopped after killing five dark ghouls.
Even if she hits every arrow, she only has ten arrows in total, so she still needs to save some.
Ye Xi's Moon Blade also seemed to consume a lot of magic power, and he stopped after using three Moon Blades. Together, the two of them killed a total of ten Dark Ghouls.
All the ghouls that were clinging to the shield were wiped out, leaving only a few on the meteorite.
The four women didn't hesitate for long and rushed over. After all, they were at least level 1 life forms. Even if they were magic-based, they could easily smash these level 0 dark creatures with their fists. This number posed no threat to them at all.
Not long after, Ye Xi returned with fourteen Rank 0 magic crystals and a dark treasure chest the size of an arm. As the strongest among the four women, she had become the leader.
"Thank you all for your hard work!" Ye Chen thanked them first, then put away the magic crystal and carried the dark treasure chest over.
Compared to the Tier 0 magic crystal, this dark treasure chest is the most important thing. You should know that if Ye Xi hadn't already reached Tier 3, it wouldn't be easy to clear a meteorite of this size.
Even if Ye Ling shoots all her arrows, the remaining four dark ghouls will still pose a threat to them.
After all, the Moon Elf's attributes are relatively balanced, and its individual attributes are not particularly strong.
"Of course, Lord, you should open the treasure chest as soon as possible and see what's inside!" Ye Xi said with a smile.
From the moment of their birth, a clan is an independent life form. In addition to being loyal to their lord, they also have their own thoughts and preferences.
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded, rubbed his hands together, and slowly opened the treasure chest in his hands with excitement.
There's a lot of stuff inside, but also a little.
Ten parts pine planks and ten parts iron ore, and besides that, there's only one piece of low-quality water spirit stone.
"It's a bit dark, but at least we have the materials to make the workbench, and we also have a stable water source!" Ye Chen said, pursing his lips.
A normal dark chest should at least have a certain chance of containing seeds, which is fundamental to the early development of a territory. Unfortunately, this chest didn't contain a single one.
Fortunately, we had enough pine planks and iron ore, which were the materials to make the workbench. With the workbench, many things would be much easier to do later.
As for the final Water Spirit Stone, that really comes down to luck. As the name suggests, it's a spirit stone that can continuously produce pure water.
With it, Ye Chen's floating island will no longer have to worry about water sources in the short term. One low-quality water spirit stone is enough for the daily use of ten people.
"Congratulations, Lord!" the four women chuckled. With the water spirit stones, their living conditions would be greatly improved.
They are, after all, either elves or descendants of Chang'e, so they are naturally dissatisfied with the current environment of the floating island, which is covered with broken rocks.
It's just starting out, so no one's saying anything yet, but this will inevitably lead to a decline in loyalty in the long run.
"Ye Xi, go and figure out how to use this water spirit stone. You guys just finished fighting, you should wash up. I'll go get the workbench ready!" Ye Chen laughed, tossing the water spirit stone to Ye Xi, and then carrying a pile of materials to build the workbench.
Although no one was injured in the battle, dark ghouls are extremely filthy creatures, and fighting bare-handed inevitably leads to contamination. The girls are now feeling very uncomfortable with the filth on their bodies.
Upon receiving Ye Chen's instructions, it excitedly grabbed the water spirit stone and went to the other side to wash it.
