Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 25: Crazy Harvest

Qi Yalu, who was eating the last few bites of roasted meat, heard the call of the Lord. She quickly chewed faster and swallowed the last piece of meat.

Then she came to Wu Feng with a cannon that was completely disproportionate to her small body and asked, "Lord, did you call me?"

Wu Feng nodded and said, "Qi Yalu, I want you to go to the northwest border of our territory and help Virgo defend against and eliminate the demons attacking the defense line."

After eating her fill, Qi Yalu was full of energy. She quietly put the remaining roasted meat into her pocket and assured the Lord, "Lord, Qi Yalu is very capable. You can trust me!"

Compared to Virgo's broad-mindedness, Qi Yalu's heart was very calm. She then dragged the Dragon Soul Cannon and rushed towards the canyon.

Nowadays, there are also a large number of monsters appearing near the Lord's heart, but with the presence of the Star Tower, there is not much pressure for the time being.

It's better to let Qi Yalu support the more dangerous canyon defense line. With two orange heroes and an orange tower defense, they should be able to hold the line there.

Wu Feng also had a group of white craftsmen summoned from the summoning scroll follow Qi Yalu. They were responsible for repairing the defense towers and preserving them as much as possible.

When Qi Yalu arrived at the canyon defense line, this orange hero immediately settled in the Tower of Death and entered the state of bombardment.

This state can be triggered after settling in the defense tower. It will enhance Qi Yalu's attack and range based on the quality of the defense tower. The higher the quality of the defense tower, the greater the enhancement. And the Tower of Death is an orange tower defense!

Qi Yalu arrived at the top of the Tower of Death. This tower, filled with a deathly aura, already had four soul rings, increasing its attack and range by 4%.

Qi Yalu patted the tall and sturdy wall and her eyes lit up. "This defense tower is sturdy enough. I can go all out now!"

She then lifted the Dragon Soul Cannon. The "little guy" she mentioned immediately enlarged itself! The barrel doubled in size, and even its length increased by more than double. It was truly a Transcendent Level cannon!

Just the pitch-black barrel looked extremely intimidating, and Qi Yalu proved with her actions that bigger is better!

After setting up the cannon, Qi Yalu aimed at a group of eagle demons flying in the distance. She fired a shot, and the huge shell exploded in mid-air, instantly killing more than 20 eagle demons.

These were level 15 demons! Much higher level than Qi Yalu.

On the Tower of Death, Qi Yalu's range and attack power doubled. She could kill enemies within a range of 1000 meters, and the eagle demons couldn't even get close to the defense line.

At the same time, her attack method was like a howitzer, capable of killing enemies in groups. Her regular attacks were even more powerful than some area-of-effect spells. With a rate of one shot every two seconds, she could kill countless demons.

Qi Yalu was very satisfied. "The Tower of Death truly lives up to its Perfect quality. It allows me to go all out. You guys disturbed me while I was eating meat, so I'm going to blast you to death!"

This little one vented her anger at the demons. The constantly respawning demons were subjected to relentless bombardment. One shell after another fell, killing groups of demons.

Qi Yalu alone had the firepower of an artillery battalion. Orange heroes truly lived up to their name.

In this situation, the green elites and blue bosses that charged out of the canyon couldn't withstand her firepower. They were not only bombarded by Qi Yalu, but also faced Virgo's fireball spells and chain lightning. Often, they would be killed shortly after entering the range of the Tower of Death.

The Tower of Death absorbed the souls of the bosses, and the number of soul fragments it gained was much higher. One green elite could be counted as ten common monsters.

A blue boss could even be equivalent to fifty common monsters. Killing two blue bosses would increase the number of soul rings on the Tower of Death by one.

In just 20 minutes, the number of soul rings increased to eight. The efficiency was beyond words!

Especially Virgo, after reaching level 5, her Pure Lust Temptation talent was further enhanced, and the number of bosses she could control increased to two.

So Virgo controlled a level 15 Flame Demon Leader, which was equivalent to a same-level blue hero.

With its area-of-effect explosive fireballs, the output of the defense line became even more fierce. The efficiency of killing monsters was astonishing.

"Now, the defense line should be relatively stable. These monsters all died in the hunting area, which is more efficient than the demon nest near the Holy Light Tower!"

The number of demon nests in the canyon is still unknown to Wu Feng, but he knows that there are at least seven or eight demon nests, with at least three of them being small demon nests.

This is what fills the canyon with demons. Now that the Southern Barbarians have invaded, their respawn rate is incredibly fast. The resources obtained from there are several times more than those around the Holy Light Tower!

Wu Feng quickly noticed that Virgo had collected over 50 white crystals and 10 green crystals. Wu Feng could do another hundred consecutive draws for resource crystals.

"This two-kilometer distance is really troublesome. If only I had teleportation abilities!" In order to quickly obtain resources in the canyon area, Wu Feng can only rely on a knight unit to transport resource crystals and other items back and forth.

Naturally, this efficiency cannot compare to teleportation abilities. It takes Wu Feng about half an hour to have the knight make a round trip. He continuously opens crystals, keys, and summoning scrolls. While collecting resources, he also builds a circle of steel walls around the Lord's Heart.

This is to be prepared for any situation. No matter how things develop in the future, the Lord's Heart will always be the focus of territorial defense. Even the canyon area can be abandoned, but the Lord's Heart cannot be.

After three hours of the Southern Barbarian invasion, Wu Feng's level has reached level 5, Virgo has reached level 7, and even Qi Yalu has reached level 5.

And Wu Feng, relying on blue crystals, has opened the resource crystal for the third time in a hundred consecutive draws!

In this hundred consecutive draws, Wu Feng did not obtain a large number of demon crystals, but with the hundred consecutive draws, he obtained orange-quality ores. These are essential for building orange-quality buildings and crafting orange-quality weapons in the future.

"Although they are not special ores, they are high-quality resources. Let's store them in the Lord's Cottage for now..." Wu Feng's current task is to sort out the various resources and items obtained from the openings.

The resources obtained from the resource crystals are divided into common resources and special resources. Common resources include wood, stone, and metal ores.

For example, white-quality resources are wood, stone, and iron ore. Upgrading to green-quality, they become ironwood, granite, and black iron ore. Blue-quality corresponds to sandalwood, Black Tortoise rock, and bronze ore.

These common resources are the most consumed resources. In addition to these, there are also special resources such as gems and elemental materials, which are rarer and more valuable than common resources of the same quality.

After opening so many resource crystals, Wu Feng has only obtained 2 units of mercury (green), which can be considered a special resource.

Due to opening so many resource crystals, Wu Feng needs to build a warehouse to store these types of resources. During this time, he has also opened 40 treasure chest keys, among which are blueprints for building warehouses.

Wu Feng has also built two warehouses and stored the common resources inside, while the high-quality resources are kept in the Lord's Cottage.

In the three hours, Wu Feng has truly gained a lot. The cumulative number of resource crystal extractions has reached 330, the number of treasure chest keys has reached 150, and even summoning scrolls have reached 160.

The number of civilians and units in the territory has increased. There are more than 50 peasants alone, capable of various productions. There are also over 10 craftsmen for brewing, construction, and blacksmithing.

Many good things have also been obtained from the treasure chest keys. Wu Feng has obtained 3 green challenge tokens and 1 blue challenge token!

These various gains have given Wu Feng three blue items. He plans to wait until the Southern Barbarian invasion is over and then challenge a few more times.

He has even collected 5 blue keys, which are drops from blue bosses.

It must be said that the Southern Barbarian invasion, which has devastated the Eight Wastelands, has greatly helped Wu Feng. It has allowed him to crazily farm resources and greatly improve his development speed.

Wu Feng's territory is large enough, and his overall level is high enough to attract more bosses.

Just when Wu Feng thought the Southern Barbarian invasion would end like this, something unexpected happened. A strange purple light suddenly appeared in the dim sky.

Wu Feng, who was expanding his territory with land plots, felt something was amiss. He suddenly looked up and witnessed a scene that he would never forget.

A purple crescent moon appeared in the sky, and the eerie purple light it emitted caused the surrounding monsters to let out howls that tore through the night!

[Ding... On the 799th floor of the Endless Abyss, under the illumination of the Purple Moon (New Moon state), all monster levels increase by 3, respawn efficiency increases by 100%, boss respawn probability increases by 100%, all monsters are affected by the Purple Moon and possess a purple eerie state (mutation probability increases by 20%).]
