Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The ability given to Aljieka by the Sky Star is not actually flying.

Rather: distance.

Distance affects everything.

Aljieka seemed to be flying, but in fact it was just her issuing a "move" command upwards. Under the influence of the Sky Star, her hasty leap was blessed by the distance.

It looks like it is riding on the wind.

She has mastered the power of the stars for a short time, and has not yet fully mastered the ability enhancements brought to her by the three stars of Qingyang, Sky, and Changsheng.

Otherwise, although Sky Star's ability is not as continuous as that of Qingyang Star, it can only be used for a short period of time.

But it can also be of great help to her in battle.

Increasing the distance, to a certain extent, can be interpreted as:

Ignore distance.

After the power of the sky star expired, Aljieka began to fall freely in mid-air.

Affected by the shock wave caused by the explosion below her, her figure was somewhat erratic with nowhere to draw on.

However, she had already dodged the most powerful frontal attack.

The rest of the aftermath can be completely withstood by her armor alone and the physical defense boosting effect brought by the converted Sheep Star.

The Petrified Lord, who had released a wave of missile bombardments, not only destroyed another guard golem without distinguishing between friend and foe, but also fell into a period of weakness after the outbreak. There was no longer any suspense about the outcome of this battle.

"Try to keep its body intact!"

Cheng Shen said to Aljieka.

He was curious about the different qualities displayed by the Petrified Lords.

On the one hand, it has the structural characteristics of a magical alchemical creature, and on the other hand, it actually exhibits the attack methods of mechanical technology. These are obviously two completely opposite technological research results, but they are wonderfully integrated together.

If possible.

Cheng Shen even hoped to keep the other mask on Shi Hu's face intact.

But that is the core of Shihu's strength.

If you don't destroy it, there's no way it can stop fighting.

"Perhaps there are corresponding research materials preserved in this ruins..."

Cheng Shen could only look forward to the towering temple in the distance.

I don’t know which period of civilization this is, but there is a high probability that it is not a refuge camp built by a survivor.

Even in the remains of the 17th-century survivor, Cheng Shen was able to find obvious traces of the system's contribution.

Not at all here.

Cheng Shen kept on attacking, stopping the two guard stone statues from moving forward, and their health was also rapidly falling from being hit.

I have to say.

Arjika, who has a perfect attribute panel, has an explosive ability in the Destruction State that is already more terrifying than in his soul form.

This is the advantage of professionals.

Once you have a powerful legendary talent like Cheng Shen, you can easily construct spell runes.

Or someone like Aljieka, who has the memory inheritance of ancient stars and an extraordinary understanding of the use of power.

This will allow it to exert its combat strength far beyond that of units of the same level.

The understanding of the energy realm makes the difference in strength between professionals even at the same level extremely exaggerated.

And in comparison.

There is no such obvious gap between defense towers.

However, the unlimited continuous output capability of the defense tower, as well as the effect gains in other aspects, are something that professionals do not have.

…

boom!

The battle is coming to an end.

As Cheng Shen blasted the last guard demon statue still standing in the field into pieces, the battle on Aljieka's side quickly ended.

"pity……"

Cheng Shen glanced regretfully at the mask that automatically collapsed when the demon died.

Just as he guessed.

Masks are the source of energy for these golems. Even if their cores are not attacked, as long as their durability representing vitality is consumed, the masks will self-destruct.

But he still rushed to the remains of the stone statue immediately and released the gathering technique.

Whoosh!

The faint white light seemed to have the ability to decompose everything, covering the huge body of the stone statue and quickly decomposing it into a pile of building materials.

[Obtain: Fel Stone 18!]

【Get: Ether Alloy 5!】

[Obtain: Broken Ancient Sacrificial Mask!]

…

Fel Stone and Ether Alloy are both basic materials for making guard golems. However, even though they are basic materials, they have reached the standards of fine grade and rare grade respectively.

Put them all away.

Cheng Shen looked at the colorful patterned mask in his hand with numerous cracks on one side, as if it would break if it was shaken slightly.

It was an unexpected surprise to be able to collect this thing.

Cheng Shen knew that systematic collection techniques would lose a lot of profits compared to using conventional methods to dismantle prey.

But if conventional means are used to dismantle the guard golem, there are still no scientific research talents in his territory who have reached a sufficient skill level to be able to completely remove the already broken mask without damaging the golem.

A golden-red divine light gradually appeared in his eyes, and everything in front of him was immediately broken down into the most primitive elemental molecular structure.

In his opinion.

The element structure contained in this mask is extremely complex.

First, it is because the mask is blended with a variety of magical materials of different properties during the forging process.

Moreover, the mask itself also contains profound magic technology.

At a glance, Cheng Shen could analyze no fewer than seven or eight one-ring runes that conformed to the structure of functional runes.

There is also a complex advanced symbol that even he has trouble parsing.

"Construct...pretend...demon puppet."

Cheng Shen struggled to decipher it.

The wonderful thing about the ancient elven runes is that it is not a conventional text language that needs to be learned and mastered before it can be interpreted.

It is a symbolic language composed of spiritual energy.

The reader's mental fluctuations need to match it, and then they will automatically understand the meaning it represents.

All Cheng Shen could do was interpret this high-level symbol.

"This is at least a three-ring talisman!"

He came to a conclusion.

The rune that makes it difficult for him to decipher the second-ring runes easily is at least the third-ring rune.

It might even be a higher level elemental rune!

The last rune that was difficult for him to master was the high-level life rune contained in the life source stone. However, compared with the constructed demon puppet, the runes contained in the life source stone are obviously countless times more complicated.

"Interesting... It is not a magic used to make puppets and control the puppets, but to allow the puppets themselves to gain the ability to control their own actions..."

Cheng Shen tried to simulate the mental fluctuations to be consistent with the structure of the demon puppet.

Interpreted more about the energy operation of this rune.

But he immediately heard a shattering sound from the mask in his hand, and immediately stopped releasing his spiritual power and continued to explore the depths of the mask.

The effect of this magic is very interesting.

But it was not yet time for him to study it carefully.

Dameng is representing the iron-blooded soldiers who are surrounding and suppressing the few remaining petrified ancestors in the ruins.

And more monsters have been chopped into pieces with sharp weapons, or burned into black charcoal by attacks with magical effects.

The field was littered with corpses.

Occasionally, there are monsters that are not quite dead yet, struggling and turning in the pile of corpses. They are quickly dealt a blow by the iron-blooded soldiers, and are dropped in the form of experience and materials.

Because this wave of battles killed five leader units above level ten, and the monsters were generally above level ten, the experience gain was several times greater than an ordinary wave of monsters attacking a city.

Several iron-blooded soldiers who were stuck at the critical level have been upgraded to one level.

Overflowing with golden light.

It dispelled the soldiers' low mental fatigue.

The drops of ordinary monsters will have to wait for the professional corpse collection team in the territory to handle them.

There is no rush yet.

Cheng Shen will definitely not let unarmed workers come here before the danger in this territory is completely resolved.

He continued to keep the scouts on guard while he walked towards the body of the petrified lord.

The mask of the guarding golem contains a puppet-like three-ring rune.

The colored light that Shi Hu once used made Cheng Shen feel even more excited.

That is obviously a magic with extremely powerful attack power!

As his mental power continues to grow, just mastering a ring of runes is no longer enough for him to exert the power of his legendary talent.

He urgently needs a powerful single-target magic to make up for the lack of output from long-range means.

But when he arrived in front of Shi Hu, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Through the hard rock body that was shattered by Aljieka's fist, Cheng Shen could see that there was a complex mechanical structure inside the body of the petrified lord, but at the same time, there was a large amount of active flesh and blood tissue in the body.

It seems to be not only a puppet creature created through alchemy, but also retains some of the characteristics of life!

"After the exploration is over, arrange for people to transport it back to the territory!"

Cheng Shen immediately said to Dameng.

He realized that the petrified lord's body contained exquisite scientific and technological achievements. Such a valuable corpse should not be collected using collection techniques.

Just right.

After Tiangongfang reaches level three, the last working area of ​​this rare building will be unlocked: Shenjifang.

The function of the Shenji Workshop is to study the ingenious technologies of various mechanisms.

Complementing the gunpowder mill.

Without the technology of the Shenji Factory, the Gunpowder Factory alone can only enhance the power of basic firearms.

It is difficult to develop high-tech war firearms.

This corpse, which is composed of at least half of the body and can be classified as the leader of mechanical creatures, can just provide research materials for the Shenji Workshop.

"Yes, sir!"

Da Meng responded.

Cheng Shen then looked at Aljieka. After the battle, her condition was slightly unstable, but overall there was not much damage.

It's enough to support a high-intensity battle.

"The exploration is not over yet, Da Meng, you lead a group of people to thoroughly inspect the ruins, and the rest of the people will continue to move forward with me."

Cheng Shen directed.

The team immediately split into two groups.

In the battle just now, because his magic cleared away most of the petrified ancestors, the loss of the iron-blooded soldiers was not serious.

The casualty rate was zero.

At this moment, it still maintains sufficient combat effectiveness.

Da Meng led a team of people to search the areas at the edge of the ruins that were not affected by the fighting.

The remaining iron-blooded soldiers continued to advance with Cheng Shen.

However, the monsters in the entire ruins seemed to have been cleared away in the riot just now.

Cheng Shen led the team through the empty open-air courtyard without any hindrance and arrived in front of the collapsed temple.

This magnificent building is entirely made of square stone bricks that are nearly one meter long and wide and nearly half a meter thick.

There were several towering stone pillars on the front of the building, supporting the majestic gate, but they had collapsed at this time, completely blocking the entrance to the temple.

Traces of dense magic lines full of obscure atmosphere can still be seen on the neat stone bricks.

rough,

But it also reveals a sense of remoteness and mystery that seems to reach into ancient times.

"The entrance is blocked..."

Cheng Shen made a visual inspection.

Then I gave up the idea of ​​cleaning it out in a short time.

He tried to move a fallen brick, but with all his strength, he could only barely lift it off the ground.

Although his profession does not have an advantage in terms of strength, he is still a level 20 rare unit.

Even he has difficulty moving these stone bricks, and it is even more difficult for ordinary units to clean them.

"At least until the territory develops basic transportation tools, it will take a long time to clear this place just by relying on ordinary workers."

He judged it.

"However...these stone bricks are all high-quality stone, and they only need further processing before they can be used.

Could you build a quarry cabin here?”

A sudden thought occurred to him.

Then Cheng Shen suppressed this thought in his heart. He glanced at the top of the temple. The top of the temple seemed to have been wiped away by the power of the gods.

"I don't know what kind of civilization this place was and what kind of powerful enemy invasion it encountered."

"At least the good news so far is that no strange traces have been found."

He controlled the scout guard and flew slowly towards the back of the temple, to the cemetery shrouded in darkness.

His perception of energy allowed him to analyze that the dark energy was just a protective type of dark magic.

It is not a realm formed by strange forces.

The two are similar in color.

But the atmosphere contained in it is completely different.

No matter how close the dark energy is to its origin, it cannot create the strange and unique kind of deathly silence that seems to extinguish all vitality and fluctuations.

puff!

The scout guard flashed an alarming red light and hovered outside the darkness for a moment. Then, under Cheng Shen's control, he plunged into it.

immediately.

The second picture in Cheng Shen's mind turned dark.

The spiritual link between him and the scout guard was not completely broken, but there seemed to be a power that blocked the images it transmitted.

Cheng Shen tried to control the scout guard to fly out.

But in the darkness, he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and this area seemed to have a direction interference effect. It was clear that the scout guards who had just broken into it could not fly out.

"The guards issued an alarm, indicating that there are still monsters inside, but this dark field can even block the ability to control energy..."

Cheng Shen frowned slightly.

His eyes could see everything clearly even in a town covered by strange powers, but they were disturbed in the face of this darkness.

and.

Dark energy itself is corrosive to ordinary creatures.

Before the strangeness came, it had always been the biggest threat facing the world.

Monsters are born from this.

If the barrier in front of him is not resolved, it will be difficult for him to get in, let alone the iron-blooded soldiers behind him.

That is to say, the Scout Guard, as a mechanical structure, is not afraid of this kind of erosion and corruption originating from the life level.
