Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 26: The Arrival of the Purple Moon!

The sudden appearance of the purple moon, coupled with the system prompt ringing in Wu Feng's ears, shocked him. Looking at the time, it was already 15:00. Normally, at this time, it would already be daylight!

On the 700th floor, it would usually be dawn between 9:00 and 11:00, with the first rays of light spreading across the land. But now, on the 799th floor, it was already 15:00 and the moon had appeared! In another 6 hours, it would be noon at 21:00.

What surprised Wu Feng even more was that not only did the moon appear, but it also affected the environment on the 799th floor. Its effects were probably not inferior to the invasion of the Southern Barbarians.

All the monster levels increased by 3, the refresh efficiency increased by 100%, the boss refresh probability increased by 100%, and there was a 20% chance of mutation. This was clearly a challenge for high-level players!

Wu Feng also realized, "Could it be that the 799th floor is also an abnormal Celestial Phenomenon? The previous Three-Body Celestial Phenomenon and Ten-Day Celestial Phenomenon caused that floor to fall into the hands of the Abyss Demons."

"I hope our floor won't be so unlucky!"

Wu Feng deduced that the purple moon that had appeared was a type of abnormal Celestial Phenomenon, not the common moon. If the 799th floor had the purple moon every night, then wouldn't it be a disaster? If they were really unlucky, even the high-level lords would die.

[Universal Genius]: "Damn it! Our region, number 012062033, is finished! Southern Barbarian invasion + the shining of the purple moon, we're all screwed! Burn the Eight Wastelands, are you happy now?"

The top genius of the Big Head Tribe couldn't help but curse angrily in the regional channel. He had encountered a mutated blue boss, and because the boss's level had also increased to level 21, his purple heroes were now being suppressed on the ground! This was simply unreasonable.

Originally, if it was just the appearance of the purple moon, [Universal Genius] wouldn't have had too much trouble. But now, with the addition of the Southern Barbarian invasion, the difficulty had multiplied. It was a completely different concept.

Apex-level geniuses like [Universal Genius] had even suffered losses in their territories, so naturally, they would be angry and curse the one responsible for all of this, Burn the Eight Wastelands.

At this moment, Burn the Eight Wastelands didn't have time to pay attention to [Universal Genius]'s words because he himself was in trouble.

Around his territory, new mutated bosses had appeared, and his heroes were suppressed due to the level difference. After the second mutated blue boss appeared, one of his defense towers had already been demolished.

Burn the Eight Wastelands had to fully deal with the continuous stream of bosses. He didn't have time to argue with [Universal Genius].

"This is a mutated boss, right? After mutation, its quality has increased by at least half a level!" Wu Feng also encountered a mutated blue boss.

Near the Holy Light Tower, a little demon leader with a third hand suddenly rushed out. After its mutation, its level and attributes had increased, and the Holy Light Tower couldn't kill it with two rounds of Holy Light Bullets.

The Holy Light Tower now had 10 Holy Light Bullets in one round, but it still couldn't kill the little demon leader. Its combat power was probably close to that of a purple boss.

Wu Feng immediately noticed this and commanded the divine archers around him to attract the attention of the mutated leader. This blue hero had been leveling up near the Holy Light Tower for a long time and had already reached level 4.

A level 4 divine archer should have been able to fight the blue boss alone, but this mutated boss was quite resilient and the divine archer couldn't defeat it alone.

However, Wu Feng didn't need him to defeat the mutated boss alone. He just needed him to hold the boss and allow the Holy Light Tower to fire a few more rounds of Holy Light Bullets.

After some maneuvering, the mutated boss finally died under the fifth round of Holy Light Bullets from the Holy Light Tower. This boss's death provided Wu Feng with experience points equivalent to two blue bosses, and the dropped items were quite good.

"I got a blue crystal and a blue key! The drop rate of these mutated bosses is higher than that of common bosses!" Wu Feng's spirits lifted. After seeing the drop from the mutated boss, he immediately had the divine archer return.

This blue hero was fast. His position was only a few hundred meters away from the Lord's cabin. In less than two minutes, the divine archer named Li Ying had brought back the dropped items.

Wu Feng now had 6 blue keys, increasing the probability of collecting 10 blue keys by a lot.

"My Lord, the demon nests in the canyon have gone berserk! They are relentlessly attacking our defenses! There are several mutated bosses among them!"

An urgent message came from Virgo's side. Wu Feng switched his view and saw that there were more demons in the canyon, and their levels had generally increased to 11 or higher. Even the little demons were above level 10.

When monsters broke through level 10, their attributes would noticeably increase. The 11th level little demons had 50% higher attributes than the 8th level ones. Without the Tower of Death, even the Flame Towers and Thunder Towers couldn't kill the little demons instantly.

The little demons weren't the main problem. The more high-level Flame Demons and Eagle Demons had reached level 18, and they could withstand two hits from the Flame Towers.

With each additional attack, the killing speed of the defense towers would decrease, and the demons would naturally gather more and more, not to mention the presence of several bosses among them.

The Goblin Warrior was near the defensive line at this time, and he subconsciously started counting: "One, two, one..."

"One, two, one..."

It seems that the Goblin Warrior still couldn't count the number accurately, but Wu Feng immediately counted the number of bosses that rushed out of the Demon Gorge.

12 green bosses, 5 blue bosses, including 2 mutated bosses! One Flame Demon had a huge mutation on its right hand, and the feathers of the other Eagle Demon leader had all turned upside down.

These two bosses posed a great threat to the defensive line. The Flame Leader could launch fireballs from several hundred meters away, and with a few fireballs, a green defense tower would be on the verge of collapse.

The Eagle Leader could descend from the sky and directly attack the Ballista Tower, causing its durability to drop rapidly.

Wu Feng frowned. Virgo and Qi Yalu were both frantically attacking the two bosses, but their attacks would probably destroy one or two defense towers.

This is where the Tower Defense Summoning Card comes into play. He immediately rushed to the gorge defense line and placed three defense towers behind it before the defense line was breached.

They were the newly acquired Tower of Death and two Ballista Towers. The blueprints for the defense towers still needed construction time, but the summoning card could directly summon the defense towers, which would be extremely useful in critical moments!

When one Ballista Tower and one cannon tower of the first defense line were destroyed, the defense line formed by the Tower of Death and Ballista Towers blocked the enemy again.

The Tower of Death was a blue defense tower with excellent quality and had excellent offensive power.

Tower of Death: Medium-sized defense tower (Excellent quality), occupying an area of 40 meters * 40 meters. Attack power: 150-300 points, can attack 3 times per second, range of 300 meters, defense power of 120 points, durability of 30,000 points.

Additional skills: Death Attack, Death Ray.

Death Attack: Can cause double the attack power damage to enemies in a straight line, with an attack range of 1.5 times the range, cooldown of 10 seconds.

Death Ray: After charging, it emits a continuous death ray that causes 1.5 times the attack power damage per second, with a 1% chance of causing instant death (can kill bosses within the blue quality at most). The lower the enemy's health, the higher the chance of instant death, lasting up to 5 seconds, cooldown of 30 seconds. For every 200 enemies killed by the Death Ray, the attack power of the Tower of Death increases by 10 points.

The Tower of Death was a blue defense tower of a fairly supreme grade. Its attributes were more powerful than those of a common blue defense tower. With the addition of the Tower of Death, alternating between Death Attack and Death Ray could cause significant damage to enemies.

Combined with the power of death granted by the Tower of Death, the damage of the Tower of Death increased rapidly. This blue defense tower, if it continued to grow like this, could rival a purple defense tower in power.

Virgo also used a Fireball Spell to kill the Eagle Leader, and this mutated boss was also killed, dropping a blue key.

[Ding... Successfully killed a blue mutated boss during the Southern Barbarian invasion. Based on its level (21), obtained 4 challenge points.]

Qi Yalu saw everyone's impressive performance, so she also started continuous bombardment, continuously launching grenades to blow up the Flame Leader that was engaging in long-range combat with her. Wu Feng obtained his ninth blue key!

[Ding... Successfully killed a blue mutated boss during the Southern Barbarian invasion. Based on its level (21), obtained 4 challenge points.]

Just as Wu Feng was about to be happy seeing the demons and bosses in the gorge being quickly cleared, he saw a huge figure walking out from the depths of the gorge!

It was a demon that reached a height of 10 meters, with four arms and exuding a violent aura!

Wu Feng widened his eyes, "Is this... a purple mutated boss?"
