Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 73 Medal of Life, Seven-Turn Golden Elixir

The Flying Thieves were masters of light-footed skill, able to leap across rooftops and scale walls. They appeared instantly around the Lost Temple, five in total, all perched atop large trees.

"They came so quickly!"

Liu Huasheng spotted his own bandits, and to prevent any casualties, he jumped off the donkey cart and immediately gave the order: "All troops, charge forward!"

The next moment, the donkey cart moved forward, the yellow dog charged, and Bodina, Tom Cruise, Immortal River, Shi Dazhuang, Roaring Earth, and the Nine-Headed Cerberus also rushed towards the Lost Temple.

Swiftly, the three defensive towers near the Lost Temple launched an attack.

They fired repulsive rays from the top. These rays were extremely fast and impossible to dodge or block. The fastest of them, Shinazugawa, Bodina, and the yellow dog Awei, were quickly repelled.

However, its attack speed was estimated to be only 1.0, which was not enough to repel all the charging warriors instantly. When the second wave of rays came, Donkey Afu, Roaring Earth, and a Hellhound were repelled.

At this moment, the Flying Thief made his move.

They used their lightness skills to leap down from the trees, spread their arms, and glide towards the Lost Temple. Their movements were just as graceful as those of martial arts masters in a wuxia movie.

"Keep going, keep going!"

Liu Huasheng shouted loudly, ordering the defeated Bodina and others to continue forward.

He didn't expect Bodina and the others to go forward and dismantle the tower; he only had them act as cover to facilitate the Flying Thieves' successful infiltration of the Lost Temple.

Of course, it was also because the three towers that could repel attacks were not very powerful that Liu Huasheng dared to do this.

The cover was quite effective; soon, all five flying thieves had infiltrated the Lost Temple, and two hellhounds also made their way to its vicinity.

Hellhounds are not gold-raiding monsters and cannot enter the Lost Temple. They activate their Infernal Claws and launch a direct attack on the Lost Temple.

"Retreat the entire army!"

Liu Huasheng issued another order. He glanced at the dazed Li Jinfu, pointed at him, and shouted, "Surround this man!"

Li Jinfu suddenly realized what was happening and ran away.

However, Guan Zhengxing swooped down from the sky and blocked his path. The ancient guardian also arrived and stood aside, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Shinazugawa glided forward, and Bodina, Roar, and a group of Hellhounds swarmed forward, quickly surrounding Li Jinfu!

"Don't hit me!" Li Jinfu raised his hands, spun around, and scanned his surroundings. "I'm not from the same system as the kobolds here. I come from the Holy City of Kobolds!"

Liu Huasheng stepped forward, carefully examined Li Jinfu, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"My friend..."

Li Jinfu immediately recognized Liu Huasheng as the person in charge and said, "I'm here for diplomacy. I'm the peace ambassador of Dog Head Holy City, and I want to establish good relations with the surrounding player forces for mutual benefit and common progress."

"Heh!" Liu Huasheng thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second," but said, "Weak nations have no diplomacy. Is your dog-headed holy city really that strong?"

"Of course! Our leader, the Lord of the Holy City, is a powerful black dragon who has already reached level nine! The deputy city lord is a green dragon, and he's already at level eight. Black dragons and green dragons are true dragons, one level higher than bone dragons!"

At this point, Li Jinfu became arrogant. He lowered his hands, surveyed his surroundings, and said with drooping eyelids, "Of the five players who opposed our Dog-Headed Holy City, four are already dead. Only one remains, the city lord of the Immortal God King City. Hmph, she's hiding in the city and doesn't dare to come out at all! If you want to touch me, the consequences will be severe. I advise you not to make a mistake..."

"You're asking for it!"

Guan Zhengxing immediately turned hostile. He was an ice mayfly, capable of growing into an ice dragon, also known as a bone dragon. Bone dragons belong to the lower tier of dragons, while the corresponding upper tier dragons are blue dragons. Blue dragons, black dragons, green dragons, and the like are the powerful dragons of the same tier.

It was obvious that Li Jinfu's words had a hidden meaning; he was belittling Guan Zhengxing and elevating his own "dog-headed holy city."

Before Liu Huasheng could speak, Guan Zhengxing said, "Boss, this guy doesn't look like a good person. Let's just kill him! If you don't want to get your hands dirty, leave him to me!"

Liu Huasheng looked at Li Jinfu and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me your true purpose for coming here. Only by telling the truth will you have a chance to live!"

Li Jinfu's eyes darted around as he said, "Threatening me? Have you ever killed anyone? I'll reiterate, I am the peace envoy of Dog Head Holy City, my eldest brother is the Black Dragon, my second brother is the Green Dragon..."

Liu Huasheng waved his hand to interrupt him, shaking his head with a hint of regret.

He didn't have time to argue with people; a lord sometimes needs to be ruthless and bloodthirsty.

Upon seeing this, Guan Zhengxing understood immediately. He chuckled and, without further ado, spat out a mouthful of icy mist at Li Jinfu!

Li Jinfu was shocked and hurriedly rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding Guan Zhengxing's attack. However, Undying River raised his hand and fired a dark arrow, leaving him with only a sliver of health.

"Wait a minute, to be honest, I did it to subdue the kobolds..."

His words were cut short as Bodina's punch, imbued with fighting spirit, ended his life.

The kobold general paid for his actions with his life, and with a clatter, he dropped a relic—a round iron plaque the size of a fist.

[Medal of Life: A treasure or relic that takes effect when placed in the inventory, increasing the wearer's health by 200 points!]

Liu Huasheng picked up the [Medal of Life], thinking to himself how valuable it was. He happily put it away and then said to the surrounding crowd, "Let's head home!"

While the others needed to travel back to the city, Liu Huasheng took out a teleportation talisman and teleported directly to the city square 10 seconds later.

He hurried to the Hall of Conquest and soon saw five flying thieves, each with a black cloth bag in front of them.

"Great, they've all returned safely!"

Liu Huasheng was overjoyed. He stepped forward and opened the black cloth bags one by one. They were full of gold coins. After opening them, the gold coins in reserve would automatically increase, and the black cloth bags would immediately turn into light and disappear.

After cleaning up the five black cloth bags, Liu Huasheng discovered that the five petty thieves had stolen a total of 1525 gold coins. He didn't know if these gold coins were from the Lost Temple's inventory or Hua Xiaolan's, but in any case, they had now become assets of Huaxia Dragon City.

"Great, great, really great! This is much better than mining! Can you guys go again?"

Liu Huasheng did some research and found it to be a pity that the flying thieves could not steal continuously. They had a cooling-off period, with at least 24 hours between two thefts!

"Only one theft a day? Then let's try again tomorrow!"

After leaving the Conquest Hall, Liu Huasheng went to check on the alchemy progress of the Innate Divine Fire Tower. He quickly discovered that the pill had been successfully made, but it was not a Resurrection Pill. Instead, it was a grape-sized [Seven-Turn Golden Pill] with a dark golden luster on its surface!

[Seven-Turn Golden Elixir: A special item that can be consumed by both players and hero units. Consuming it permanently increases health by 700 points! Note: Consecutive consumption of the same type of elixir will reduce its effectiveness; please explore for details.]

"Holy crap, 700 health points! Isn't that amazing?"

Without saying a word, Liu Huasheng immediately swallowed the Seven-Turn Golden Pill and crunched it up as if it were a candy.

And its health points also increased rapidly by 700 points!

With the extra health points provided by the [Medal of Life], Liu Huasheng's total health points have now reached 1002!

"Hahaha, my life count has surpassed 1000!"

Liu Huasheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"700 health points! How long would it take to accumulate that through plundering with puppet units? Now, with just one Golden Pill, I've instantly become a tanky lord! Great, fantastic! Divine Fire Alchemy is awesome!"

At this moment, Liu Huasheng wished he could capture a hundred or eighty wild monster bosses and have the Innate Divine Fire Tower refine them into pills.

He suddenly thought of the level 10 "giant crocodile" in the southern sea, wondering what kind of precious pills the Eight Trigrams Furnace could refine if he could capture it and refine it into pills!

The more Liu Huasheng thought about it, the more excited he became. He even wanted Yu Gong to carry the Innate Divine Fire Tower out to sea.

However, Liu Huasheng soon ended his fantasy and happily went outside the city to work on the construction of the megalithic city wall.

That night, Liu Huasheng had a dream in which he came to a strange bank vault.

The vault was resplendent with gold and filled with elixirs. He devoured them until his belly was round and he couldn't eat anymore. Then, Pigsy pulled him out with a rake, saying, "Brother Monkey, raw melon eggs are two yuan a pound!"
