Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 53 The Wind Blows, the Alchemy Furnace

The number of void rifts continues to increase, and invading monsters slowly appear.

At exactly 8:00 AM, the fourth wave of monster invasion officially began.

Liu Huasheng had already arrived at the observation tower room, where he could observe the scene more clearly with the help of the equipment there.

The first to emerge from the void rift were level one Crimson Demon Giant Ants.

The Red Devil Giant Ant is a giant ant with a red carapace. At level one, it only has 100 health points. They move towards the higher ground in twos and threes, not very fast, leisurely, as if taking a stroll.

Before they could even climb the slope, the Killer Towers, with their 100-meter range, launched their attack first.

This killing arrow tower has an attack power of 20 and an attack speed of 2.5. With the assistance of the watchtower aura, its range is 110 meters. When it launches an attack, the arrows fly in a line and can kill a level 1 Red Demon Giant Ant in two seconds.

The red demon giant ants that managed to escape were quickly attacked by the Innate Divine Fire Tower.

The Divine Fire Tower launched a crimson fireball from its top. The fireball struck the giant red demon ant at extremely high speed, causing an explosion that instantly blasted the giant red demon ant into white light!

"-2000!"

The damage was completely excessive!

The huge and eye-catching damage numbers excited Liu Huasheng, who thought to himself that the Divine Fire Tower was indeed powerful.

Then things got a bit boring.

In the first phase of this monster invasion, the Red Demon Giant Ants were scattered and only the Killing Arrow Tower and the Innate Divine Fire Tower were enough to intercept all the Red Demon Giant Ants a hundred meters away from Chaos City. The other defensive towers had no chance to play a role.

So, about an hour later, before the first phase of the monster invasion was over, the Killing Arrow Tower flashed with golden light, revealing that it had killed two thousand enemies, completing another growth!

This growth was extremely rapid. In the blink of an eye, the attack speed of the Killer Tower increased to 3.0, and its output capability was improved again.

After a short while, the void rifts south of the city merged into one, ending the rift phase and ushering in the second phase of the monster invasion, the frenzy phase.

The number of Crimson Giant Ants increased instantly, surging out of the void rifts like a tidal wave. Their levels were no longer uniformly level one, but included level two and level three.

At this point, the Killing Arrow Tower's output was insufficient, while the Innate Divine Fire Tower remained formidable, capable of taking down a giant ant with a single attack. However, its attack speed of only 1.0 was insufficient to kill the surging waves of invading monsters.

At this point, the Blade & Shield Dog and the Ancient Guardian joined the battle.

These two were blocking the slope; one was incredibly resilient, and the other could dodge infinitely. Red Devil Giant Ants swarmed around them, and the other defensive towers still had no chance to make a move.

Meanwhile, on the northwestern island, Ma Xianlong was also facing a surge of monster invasions. Although his Chaos City was in ruins, the four second-tier flame towers that had been fused within it were still quite powerful.

The Flame Tower is a multi-target attack tower that can ignite surrounding enemies.

With the combined damage from Ma Xianlong's four Flame Towers, the Red Demon Giant Ants approaching his castle lost over 120 HP per second. Level 2 Red Demon Giant Ants had 200 HP, and Level 3 had 300 HP, so they simply couldn't withstand the damage and were quickly burned to death, without any chance to attack the castle.

Suddenly, a giant red bear with a turban and walking upright appeared from the group of monsters.

This giant bear is, of course, the parkour bear, which Liu Huasheng released.

The Parkour Bear is a level 3 elite monster with 1500 health points. It runs extremely fast and moves with great flair, quickly bursting out from the swarm of giant red ants.

The Flame Tower ignited it as well, but its health was high, and it eventually charged into Chaos City with half its health remaining, howling and screaming.

"What is it?"

Before Ma Xianlong could react, his game assistant announced, "A parkour bear has stormed into Chaos City and stolen 300 gold coins. Your maximum health has been reduced by one point, and your current gold coin reserves are -300!"

"Holy crap, my gold coins are in the negative?"

Ma Xianlong was extremely frustrated. He had already cut off his income and hadn't earned a single gold coin. Now he was in debt. How was he supposed to play the game in the future?

Meanwhile, on Hill Seven, behind numerous giant red ants, two bloodthirsty porcupines stood side by side, shaking their backs in unison and firing sharp, bristly arrows that precisely struck the castle in front of them.

That castle was, of course, Sima Zhen's Chaos City.

He was the island lord of a small island in the southeast. Chaos City was under attack there. The basic arrow towers outside the castle had all been demolished. The second-tier ice towers and the arrow towers inside the castle were firing at full power, but the giant red ants had already arrived at the city's gates in a huge swarm. Chaos City's durability had begun to drop.

Liu Huasheng saw the situation on Hill 7 and the Northwest Island from the watchtower. He was very curious whether Ma Xianlong and Sima Zhen could survive this round of monster siege.

Shaking his head, Liu Huasheng stopped paying attention to Ma Xianlong and Sima Zhen, and turned his surveillance focus back to the front of his own Chaos City.

At this time, a large number of Red Demon Giant Ants had piled up around the Ancient Guardian and the Blade and Shield Dog. These two peculiar defensive towers could withstand attacks, but their damage output was too low, and it was difficult to kill even one Red Demon Giant Ant.

Before long, the Red Demon Giant Ant bypassed the Ancient Guardian and the Blade-Shield Hound, and continued its attack on Chaos City from the side.

Soon, the Taunt Tower, Hex Tower, Arrow Tower, and Basic Wind Tower began to unleash their power.

The taunting arrow tower sent out a shout, but it failed to attract the red demon giant ants.

Because no Red Demon Giant Ant could get close to Chaos City.

This isn't thanks to the magic arrow towers or the arrow towers, but rather because the basic wind towers are just too powerful.

The basic wind tower itself is not weak in attack power, but what is even more powerful is its magical ability called "Great Wind Song".

Liu Huasheng saw a pale blue gale rise from his own Chaos City, rushing down the high ground like a wave, repelling all the giant red demon ants along the way.

The strong wind lasted only three seconds, but in those three seconds, it cleared the high ground slope, and the giant red ants that had piled up around the Ancient Guardians and the sword-and-shield hounds were also repelled.

Moreover, after the strong winds hit, four burly men dressed in armor and carrying large swords suddenly appeared on the high ground slope.

That would be the mighty warrior of the wind!

They are all level one, but possess the attribute template of A-level heroes, with a health of up to 500 and an attack power of up to 30. Once they appear, they wield large swords and slash wildly, extremely violent, and their damage output is also very considerable.

Once the siege monsters had gathered again, they launched another attack from the side. The basic wind tower unleashed a few wind blades and summoned a strong wind, easily driving them off the high ground again. It didn't care whether there were elite monsters or gold-raiding monsters among them; it simply cleared the slope.

Seeing this, Liu Huasheng felt that his Chaos City was as stable as Mount Tai.

"No pressure at all, let's hurry up and get to the final battle!"

Liu Huasheng muttered to himself.

He didn't have to wait long. The void rift in the distance outside the city began to slowly close, and at the same time, the red demon giant ants surged out even more frantically.

At this point, the monster siege had entered its final stage, the decisive battle.

As Liu Huasheng observed the void rift, he suddenly noticed a giant red-gold ant crawling out from it.

This giant ant is as big as an elephant, has a level of LV5, and is a [Giant Ant King] with a health value of 5000. It is extremely eye-catching in the Red Devil Giant Ant swarm.

"The BOSS has finally appeared!"

Liu Huasheng, on the contrary, was filled with anticipation, thinking that even the Giant Ant King might not be able to get close to his Chaos City.

To Liu Huasheng's surprise, this [Giant Ant King] could actually fly. Unaffected by its giant ant minions on the ground, it spread its semi-transparent wings and quickly flew towards Chaos City, but was attacked by the Divine Fire Tower in the blink of an eye.

With a loud bang.

The small fireball from the Divine Fire Tower struck the giant ant king's head, creating a loud explosion that turned the entire giant ant king into a giant fireball!

The giant ant king let out a scream as its health points instantly decreased by 2000!

It continued flying, and in the blink of an eye, it crashed head-on into a small fireball. With a loud bang, its health points decreased by another 2000!

"Haha, with this level of skill, you wouldn't last three seconds in front of the Divine Fire Tower. You dare call yourself a BOSS? You dare talk about the final battle!"

Liu Huasheng felt pleased, but he did not see the giant ant king being blasted to death. Instead, he saw the lid of the Bagua Furnace on the top of the Divine Fire Tower be lifted, and the giant ant king suddenly transformed into a stream of light and flew into it.

With a clang, the furnace lid closed, like a sword returning to its sheath.

"This is... the giant ant king has been captured and used to refine pills?"

Liu Huasheng's spirits lifted, and he was filled with anticipation.
