Piercing Through The Soul Lord Of The Pit

Chapter 36: Magic Crystal Turret

After Li Hu, Virgo, and the others arrived at the outskirts of the Magic Crystal Mine, they reported the specific situation of the mine to Wu Feng. This mini vein occupies about 28 grids and is an open-pit mine resembling a small hill.

To occupy this Magic Crystal Mine, they must first take down the two monster nests on the outskirts. However, both of these nests are level 18 small nests, the same level as the recently upgraded Flame Demon Nest by Wu Feng.

What makes Li Hu hesitate to take action is that these two nests have spawned a large number of monsters under the invasion of the Southern Barbarians and the illumination of the Purple Moon. These monsters are the Unicorn Demon Nest and the Demon Infant Nest, and they have blocked countless demons in the small canyon outside the Magic Crystal Mine!

This is essentially a simplified version of the Demon Canyon. As long as they provoke any of the demons, the entire group of demons will swarm out.

With so many demons, plus the boss inside, they could probably sweep through most of the territories at this stage.

"Hmm, with enemies of this lineup, it seems we need to plan carefully. There seems to be a purple boss inside!" Virgo, who can fly, circled around the outskirts of the Magic Crystal Mine.

Through her perspective, Wu Feng also clearly saw the situation inside. Wu Feng estimated that there were at least thousands of demons crowded inside! Moreover, there was a purple boss inside, although not a mutated boss like the Demon General, it was still quite dangerous.

In this situation, Wu Feng would not let Virgo and Qi Yalu take the risk of going over. He began to formulate a plan.

"Then let's build the Magic Crystal Turret on the outskirts of the Magic Crystal Mine. It can also guard the mine. Let's build the Magic Crystal Turret first and rely on it as the main force to start harvesting these demons!"

Wu Feng now has a purple defense tower in his hands, which he immediately considers as the key to breaking the situation. As a result, a large amount of resources were arranged to be transported to the edge of the territory, about 400 meters away from the Magic Crystal Mine.

The enemy would not easily discover this distance, and the attack range of the Magic Crystal Turret is enough to cover both demon nests. They will rely on this defense tower to clear these two nests in the future.

The consumption of the Magic Crystal Turret is relatively high, requiring 10,000 Magic Crystals, 25 units of Black Tortoise Rock, 25 units of Bronze Ore, and 5 units of Chicken Bloodstone, which is a purple resource. Wu Feng happens to have enough to meet its consumption.

"The Magic Crystal Turret will take 4 hours to build. During this time, let's clear the other nests. When the tower is built, we can unleash a barrage of attacks!"

Wu Feng did not let Virgo and the others return, but instead had them clear monsters around the Magic Crystal Turret that was under construction, to prevent any accidents from happening to the tower.

The construction time of the defense tower is much shorter than that of special buildings. Four hours passed quickly. During this time, Wu Feng forged today's flying sword at the Innate Sword Qi Tower.

It was already 32 points, and there wasn't much time left until the end of the day. Wu Feng had almost used up his purple resources, so he decided to use the Mysterious Gold to forge the flying sword.

Using the orange Perfect-quality special resource to forge the flying sword, its quality should be very good. Wu Feng forged this flying sword to deal with the enemies near the Magic Crystal Mine. The attack range of the flying sword is longer than that of the Common Sword Qi!

When 36 points arrived, the Magic Crystal Turret was finally completed, and the first flying sword at the Innate Sword Qi Tower was also forged!

Magic Crystal Turret: Exceptional quality, attack power of 200-500 points, can attack once per second (area attack), occupies an area of 50 meters by 50 meters, range of 800 meters, defense power of 180 points, durability: 80,000 points.

Additional skills: Magic Crystal Cannon, Magic Crystal Power.

Magic Crystal Cannon: The Magic Crystal Turret comes with a Magic Crystal Cannon, which can launch attacks. For every 8,000 Magic Crystals invested, an additional Magic Crystal Cannon can be added, with a maximum of three Magic Crystal Cannons.

Magic Crystal Power: The Magic Crystal Cannon can consume additional Magic Crystals to enhance the power of the next attack. Consuming 100 Magic Crystals can increase the damage and range of the next attack by 50%, consuming 200 Magic Crystals can increase the damage and range by 100%. The more Magic Crystals consumed, the higher the drop rate of items after killing enemies.

Magic Crystal Turret lives up to its reputation as a purple tower defense, with its powerful output. Although it has a long attack interval, its area of effect allows it to take out dozens of monsters with a single shot!

Especially, Magic Crystal Turret can also purchase additional Magic Crystal Cannons, which have four times the power of a normal purple defense tower. However, these cannons are particularly expensive, whether it's creating new cannons or using magic crystal power, it's a money-burning gameplay!

"Burning money is fine as long as the power is strong enough to sweep the enemy. It's not a big deal to spend some money!"

In the end, Wu Feng chose to maximize the power of the Magic Crystal Turret. He spent a total of 24,000 magic crystals and added three Magic Crystal Cannons to the Magic Crystal Turret.

A total of four cannons were aimed at the vicinity of the magic crystal mine, covering that area with firepower.

"Now that the Magic Crystal Turret is ready, we can start clearing the magic crystal mine. Virgo, send out your Flame Demon troops!"

Wu Feng began giving orders, having already planned his strategy during these four hours.

Following Wu Feng's command, Virgo immediately cleared the demons at the outer entrance of the magic crystal mine and set up a hunting ground.

A 4x4 area, enclosing the exit of the magic crystal mine, with a narrow passage, allowed Wu Feng to employ a door-blocking tactic similar to the Demon Gorge.

This hunting ground was the key to Wu Feng's door-blocking strategy. After setting it up, Wu Feng immediately had Virgo place multiple defense towers.

There was a Divine Arrow Tower, a Flame Tower, an Ice Tower, and a Holy Light Tower that had been copied using a replication card.

These four blue-quality defense towers could directly block the exit of the gorge, executing a strategy of closing the door and attacking the enemy.

"Lord, your door-blocking strategy is becoming more proficient. My Flame Demons can fully unleash their power in the Flame Tower!"

With the four defense towers arranged side by side, the exit was completely sealed off. Virgo and Qi Yalu each took up a defense tower.

Virgo stationed herself in the Flame Tower, while Qi Yalu set up her Dragon Soul Cannon in the Magic Crystal Turret. Little Lolita compared her Dragon Soul Cannon with the Magic Crystal Cannon and smiled happily, saying, "Indeed, my little guy has a bigger caliber!"

Qi Yalu was proud. She believed in the principle that caliber is justice and range is truth, and at least now her caliber was a bit bigger.

"Second Lieutenant, did you bring out your Italian cannon? Then, fire away!" Wu Feng recalled an old joke from a hundred years ago, leaving Qi Yalu puzzled by his address.

But Qi Yalu was the first to fire the opening shot. As a mortar shell fell into the outer perimeter of the magic crystal mine, more than a dozen Minotaur Demons were immediately blasted away!

Qi Yalu was now level 8, and with a single shell, she could kill a group of enemies.

The Magic Crystal Cannons roared alongside Qi Yalu, and with all four cannons firing together, they created a bloody scene of carnage at the outer perimeter of the magic crystal mine, instantly killing nearly a hundred Minotaur Demons!

Many of these Minotaur Demons dropped valuable loot, and some even dropped green crystals. Wu Feng saw this scene through Virgo's perspective.

Wu Feng's eyes lit up. "Using the power of the magic crystals to enhance the power of the Magic Crystal Cannons was indeed the right choice. The drop rate is doubled, and the improvement is too obvious!"
