The wolves approached the defensive tower's attack range, and the [Storm Tower] initiated its assault first.
Azure magic began to condense atop the tower, followed by the emergence of a storm, forming a fierce gust of wind that swept towards the monsters.
The wind howled, shaping into a tornado that struck directly at the wolf pack.
The wolves were swept up and slammed heavily onto the ground. Under the storm's fury, not a single wolf survived.
"What a powerful Storm Tower!"
Zhou Yan was overjoyed. The power of this [Storm Tower] was significantly greater than that of the Flame Tower, and its attack range was several times larger.
A dozen wolves were easily annihilated.
Considering the Storm Tower was level twenty, it was quite normal for it to instantly kill a group of level five wolves.
The [Flame Tower] soon unleashed its fiery attack as well. A rolling fireball erupted amidst the wolf pack, and flames raged, killing five or six wolves.
Zhou Yan and his companions stood at the main gate. He had already leveled up his eight Vine Demons a few times and equipped them with all available gear. With their current strength, facing level five wolves was no problem at all.
The monsters today numbered several times more than yesterday.
However, with the addition of a new defensive tower, the suppression of monsters had greatly increased.
After a long while, only a few straggling wolves managed to reach the area.
"Kill!"
Zhang San and Si Teng, along with others, brandished their weapons and charged towards the wolves. Unfortunately, with too many people and too few monsters, they were quickly eliminated.
Their strength was too great, and their quality too high; they were no match for these low-level monsters.
Zhou Yan activated the [Storm Tower] and manually unleashed its skill, Storm Slash.
Instantly, the Storm Tower erupted with a barrage of wind blades, dense and numerous, filling the sky like falling flower petals, decimating the wolf pack over a wide area.
The entire wolf pack was annihilated by this storm of blades; not a single one survived.
Hundreds of treasure chests landed quietly on the ground.
"Whoa, that's intense!" Zhou Yan was stunned.
He had never imagined that the [Storm Tower]'s Wind Blade Slash would be so formidable. Hundreds of wolves were wiped out in a single wave.
The wolf pack had not completely disappeared; more wolves continued to emerge from the forest towards the territory. Judging by their numbers, there were still quite a few.
"It's only the third day, and there are already so many monsters."
Yesterday, only a little over a hundred monsters had appeared. Today, however, the number had already surpassed several hundred.
And the monsters were still appearing.
Zhou Yan was quite happy about this. The more monsters there were, the more rewards he would receive.
These monsters posed no threat to him anyway.
Soon, the wolf pack grew numerous again, but not many managed to reach the vicinity of the walls. Even those that did were dealt with immediately.
As a few elite wolves appeared, it coincided with the [Flame Tower]'s half-hourly Fire Sea skill release. A torrent of flames descended from the sky, directly eliminating all monsters in the area.

"666!"
Today's battle was even easier than yesterday's.
The rewards were also more abundant.
He had received a total of six thousand Soul Coins at once!
This was undoubtedly a godsend for his territory.
He had obtained two more buildings, which was a great thing for him.
A high evaluation truly yielded immense gains.
"Collect all the treasure chests outside!" Zhou Yan commanded everyone.
"Yes!"
With more people, tasks were completed quickly.
The key was that he no longer had to do these things himself.
This was the benefit of being a Lord!
Zhou Yan, meanwhile, began constructing the two newly acquired buildings.
"Ding! Construction of [Warehouse] complete. [Warehouse] has evolved into [Treasure Vault]."
"Ding! Construction of [Artifact Forge] complete. [Artifact Forge] has evolved into [Divine Weapon Workshop]."
[Building: Treasure Vault]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Cost: 300 Spirit Coins]
[Quality: SSS (0/4)]
[Upgrade Requirement: Four Treasure Vaults]
[Defense: 300/300]
[Special Attribute: Contains 100 cubic meters of space, can automatically classify and organize all treasures.]
[Description: Stores all sorts of treasures. The more treasures stored, the higher their quality, leading to unexpected gains.]
This Treasure Vault was interesting; it even had a hidden attribute.
Judging by its description, it was certain that this Treasure Vault was no ordinary building, but it required specific conditions to manifest.
It was not difficult to infer that it would trigger when a sufficient quantity of treasures, or high-quality treasures, were placed inside.
He could worry about that later.
[Building: Divine Weapon Workshop]
[Level: 1]
[Upgrade Cost: 200 Spirit Coins]
[Quality: SS (0/2)]
[Upgrade Requirement: Two Artifact Forges]
[Defense: 200/200]

Territory notification: "Consumed 600 Spirit Coins, [Treasure Vault] upgraded to Level 3."
Territory notification: "Consumed 900 Spirit Coins, [Treasure Vault] upgraded to Level 4."
...
...
After upgrading both buildings to level 20, their attributes underwent significant changes.
[Building: Treasure Vault]
[Level: 20]
[Upgrade Cost: 30000 Spirit Coins, 300 Four-Star Wood, 300 Four-Star Stone]
[Quality: SSS (0/4)]
[Upgrade Requirement: Four Treasure Vaults]
[Defense: 30000/30000]
[Special Attribute 1: Contains 10,000 cubic meters of space, can automatically classify and organize all treasures.]
[Special Attribute 2: Can automatically repair damaged treasures. Higher quality treasures require longer repair times. (Repairing treasures consumes Spirit Coins.)]
[Description: Stores all sorts of treasures. The more treasures stored, the higher their quality, leading to unexpected gains.]
The Treasure Vault gained an additional attribute, which greatly surprised Zhou Yan.
This attribute was simply heaven-defying.
As far as he knew, there were countless broken treasures in the Lord's World.
There were innumerable broken cultivation techniques, skills, and equipment.
The thought that all those treasures could be repaired by his Treasure Vault filled him with excitement.
And his Treasure Vault possessed such a god-tier attribute; it was indeed worthy of being called a Treasure Vault.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any high-level treasures right now, otherwise I could test the Treasure Vault's hidden attribute."
He placed all the equipment and other items from his Lord's space into the Treasure Vault. This way, he would have a clear understanding of how many items his territory possessed.
Furthermore, he opened the Treasure Vault's storage permissions to all residents of the territory, so they could directly deposit treasure chests into the Treasure Vault when collecting them.
"Huh! These treasure chests can even stack!"
Zhou Yan noticed that the treasure chests in the Treasure Vault could be stacked. Treasure chests of the same quality could be stacked up to 99, making them very convenient.
