Chapter 401 - Fortifications

Jerry sat on the ground, enjoying the peace that he finally could have.

The group that went out came back for the first time with some water and food. This had stabilized the morale of the army.

The materials needed for the tents were also brought back. At this moment, the Sky Dynasty finally had two tents on the beach.

It was already sunset and before long, the night of the entire Endless Tower would arrive.

In this place that was already dark, the night had an indescribable depth.

“Your Majesty, these are the things we brought back this time. It should be enough to ensure that we have food for three days.”

Bulanda was reporting on the side. They had found everyone’s luggage on the other side of the island. However, they had only found a part of it. The rest of the luggage had yet to be found.

“We’ll continue searching.”

Bulanda stood up and packed up his things. He was prepared to lead the team to search for their luggage again.

“It’s getting dark soon. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Jerry waved his hand, stopping Bulanda from rushing through the night.

For people who possessed divine sense like them, the night was not considered terrifying.

However, they had all trained from mortals all the way to the god-king body.

Their eyes were the source of 90% of the information they received when they were still mortals. Hence, somehow they instinctively relied on their vision.

Therefore, the dark night had a significant impact on them.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Is there anything else?”

After listening to Jerry’s opinion, Bulanda put down the weapon in his hand and gave up on the idea of searching the island again.

Jerry nodded, “Have you seen Ares’s trail?”

“No.”

Bulanda shook his head and replied with certainty.

Their team’s journey on the island could be said to be very meticulous. They would not let go of any place.

With the Sword of Victory leading the way, they were not in much danger behind it. Therefore, everyone wished that they could have a magnifying glass to observe their surroundings, so that they would not miss out any key discoveries.

However, even so, no one could find any traces of Ares. It was as if that person had disappeared on the island for no reason.

“Alright, I’ll say the same thing. Let’s talk about it tomorrow. Everyone, have a good rest tonight.”

Jerry stood up and shouted loudly.

“Everyone, stop what you’re doing. Have a good rest today.”

“Apollo, Simmons, you guys are on duty tonight.”

Among the three groups of people, those who went to look for treasure from the giant monkey’s carcass were the ones who had consumed the least amount of energy.

At the same time, they were also the strongest group of people in the Sky Dynasty.

Therefore, it was most suitable for them to keep watch.

“Yes!”

Apollo and Simmons answered in unison. Then, everyone put down what they were doing and started to look for a place to rest.

Up until now, the giant bone had not been sawed open by them.

At this moment, those who tried to crack open the giant bone were also feeling tired. They turned over and got off the giant bone, no longer wasting their energy on it.

Jerry walked over and looked at the bone.

There was still some divine power left in the bone, but it was not much.

It was the bone that supported the body of the giant monkey. Although its structure was very strong, it was not easy to break open.

Moreover, there was no extra divine power in the Sky Dynasty, so it was even harder to break the bone.

However, Jerry did not know what he could get from the bone even if he broke it open.

Maybe it was just a useless pile of bone marrow, or maybe he could find something like a golden core. In short, everything was unknown.

“Let me try.”

Although Jerry had given the order for the others to rest, he was a little interested in this giant bone at this moment.

He pulled out the Sky Sword and circulated his divine power.

Then, he swung the sword and cut the giant bone in the middle.

“Why is it hollow?”

The moment he cut the bone, Jerry found something not right.

The bone did not have the bone marrow of a giant monkey like it usually did.

Instead, it was black. It was hollow.

Following that, all the hair on Jerry’s body stood up.

Inside the hollow bone, there were countless human bones.

Many of those bones had already melted. It looked like they were fusing with the bones of the giant monkey.

It seemed like these were the trial-takers who had been killed by the giant monkey.

No wonder the giant monkey’s strength could reach the terrifying level of Tier Five god-king. It actually it had killed an unknown number of trial-takers and absorbed all their cultivation.

Jerry used his sword to pick out all the human bones. He looked inside to see if there was a portion of Ares’s bones.

Ares had followed Jerry for many years. Jerry could recognize that it was not Ares’s bones just by relying on his divine power.

Furthermore, that tall and strong Ares had very broad and thick bones. It would not be difficult to tell if it had really been killed in the mouth of the giant monkey.

However, if it happened, Jerry would not want to believe that it was true.

After a while, Jerry finished examining all the bones. None of them were of Ares.

Only then did Jerry let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he used his sword to throw out a small pit on the ground. He swept all the human bones in and buried them on the spot.

Every single bone here was once the monarch of a holy dynasty.

They were all the same as Jerry. They were all pitiful fellows from Earth.

It could be said that Jerry’s last mercy was not to use these bones.

“Then how should I deal with this giant bone?”

Jerry mumbled as he knocked on the giant bone for a while.

This giant bone was so tough that the sound of knocking was close to steel.

Jerry cut it into three sections, each section was five to six meters tall.

Then, he erected these three sections of bones.

This was the beginning of the construction of a tower.

What Jerry meant was using the giant monkey’s bones as materials to build three towers to defend against the enemy.

After all, he did not know if the safety of this island was guaranteed. It would definitely be very good to develop a defensive strategy now.

“Your Majesty, What are these three chimneys for?”

Simmons happened to pass by and saw the three pieces of bones that were erected. He was very puzzled.

“These are tall towers,” Jerry replied. “When the time comes, you can stand on top and attack the enemy from above. The efficiency will be very high.”

“Your Majesty, do we still have enemies here?”

Simmons did not understand what His Majesty meant. In his eyes, other than the black tree, there should not be any so-called enemies on the island.

Jerry shook his head. “I don’t know either, but never complain about having too many fortifications.”
