Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The laceration on the wrist that would be fatal to ordinary people has healed quickly with a burst of itching.

Although Zhang Yao's dark knight profession is not as convenient as the possessed warrior, it is still a rare profession. Especially the increase in physical fitness and defense makes his recovery ability even more abnormal than that of the bright red form.

"What happened last night..."

Zhang Yao thought hard.

No matter how stupid he was, he noticed that the castle had undergone great changes at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel distressed by his lack of experience.

But he didn't hesitate for long.

His eyes followed the group of soldiers as they disappeared into the darkness, and he gave up the idea of ​​pursuing them to find out.

The Ankh of Resurrection took effect longer than he expected, and he almost fell asleep for a day and a night.

It's going to be dark again soon.

He wanted to take advantage of this time to confirm the portrait.

Not only is there danger in the castle at night, but strange and inexplicable changes occur outside the castle.

In comparison, the castle, which is suppressed by mysterious forces, is relatively safe.

Go around the flower bed.

Zhang Yao walked straight towards the high black wall surrounding the castle.

Pass through the cold iron door carved with strange patterns.

He couldn't help but glance at the motionless castle guards standing around the high wall like statues.

They wore pitch-black armor that covered every inch of their skin. They were heavy and oppressive, without any heartbeat or breathing, just like corpses.

They only become active when monsters attack the castle.

Zhang Yao clearly understands the strength of these guards. Even now, he probably has no chance of winning against a castle guard alone.

And it seems.

Those soldiers who suddenly revived seemed to be far more powerful than them!

"I wonder if they are part of the castle..."

Zhang Yao was a little eager to give it a try.

After he completes an exploration mission unlocked when he is promoted to official lord, he will gain control of a portion of the castle guards.

It is expected that the subsequent tasks must also be related to unlocking the control authority of the castle.

If those soldiers were also part of the castle's guard force,

Sooner or later he will be able to control it!

only……

If you can't participate in camp battles, and you can't accept chaotic duels, what's the point of controlling more castle guards...

Zhang Yao then became distressed.

"well."

He sighed and stopped thinking about these wasted brain cells.

Walk out the door.

He soon came to the pale old tree that grew twisted and twisted.

The curved trunk is more than ten meters high, like a stooped giant. The slender branches spread out at the top, forming a lush and grand crown, casting a mottled and strange shadow.

"...Gu."

Zhang Yao couldn't help but swallowed.

There is both fear of the weird and nervousness about verifying facts.

He raised the oil lamp to eye level, trying his best to let the dim but not warm light envelope his whole body.

As he approached, the dead tree immediately changed. The dry old bark on the trunk fell off, revealing a pile of rotting corpses. The slender branches hanging down from the top of the head were clearly human hands spliced ​​together!

It has grown taller again!

Zhang Yao suddenly realized something and his face turned pale.

When he first borrowed this weird corpse tree to help him clean up monsters, it was only five or six meters high at most.

Then Zhang Yao discovered that the corpse tree would grow by devouring monster corpses. Later, he learned about the strange growth from Cheng Shen. He was scared and never used it again.

But at this time.

Zhang Yao found that its height had jumped up a lot!

"By the way, a wave of monsters attacked the city while I was sleeping! Since no body was found outside the castle, they must have been killed by it..."

suddenly.

Zhang Yao felt a softness under his feet.

When he looked down, the terrifying sight in front of him almost made him throw the oil lamp away.

They were human heads growing out of the soil. The soil and hair were mixed together, covering their faces, like moldy black potatoes, but they were densely packed all over the front!

He is stepping on the top of a head!

Zhang Yao suddenly felt that the head he was stepping on turned around, his feet suddenly slipped, and he almost fell into the pile of heads.

He quickly stood still.

Just thinking about that suspenseful scene made his scalp numb!

"It's become more terrifying... Just like Brother Leg said, Weird will gain more and more difficult powers as it grows!"

Zhang Yao wanted to retreat.

But looking at the tree hole only seven or eight meters away from him, he seemed to be able to vaguely see the outline in the shadow, and he simply became concerned.

Brutal shock!

boom!

He stamped his foot, and powerful force exploded. The head under his feet suddenly exploded like a watermelon. The thick shock wave then spread around like air waves, and the heads enveloped in it were exploded one after another!

Bang bang bang!

Blood mist suddenly filled the air.

After being attacked, the strange corpse tree immediately became violent.

Countless slender pale arms were hanging down densely, but they all stayed one meter away from Zhang Yao's head, as if blocked by an invisible force.

At this time.

The flame in the oil lamp suddenly shot up, making a crackling burning sound, and the blood used as fuel decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Zhang Yao smelled a strong burning smell!

"Be quick!"

He woke up immediately.

The horror level of this corpse tree has grown to a quite terrifying level.

We are even close to getting close to the weird woman in the portrait!

If he had used the same candle as before, he would have been extinguished by its power in an instant.

And the resistance of the oil lamp can only barely compete with it!

rub!

Having figured out the key, Zhang Yao rushed out in an instant, stepping on the ground paved with minced meat and hair, and crossed the distance to the tree hole in the blink of an eye.

His eyes quickly swept over.

The portrait is still there!

wrong,

The image is blank!

Zhang Yao was stunned.

This situation is undoubtedly very different from the picture he imagined.

In his opinion, the portrait and the cheongsam woman should be a whole.

His verification will only get two results.

one.

The portrait is still there.

The old sister will also look at him peacefully in the portrait.

two.

Even if the old sister was killed by Brother Pig and will never come back, then the portrait should also disappear!

But the unsettling scene in front of him made his head a mess.

"Wait! Is this actually a secondary cursed object? Maybe it's an out-of-control cursed object, and the weirdness inside has escaped..."

Zhang Yao thought of a possibility.

Later.

He was confused.

Take it or not?!

If the old sister only left temporarily for a walk and came back later, he would undoubtedly be committing suicide by taking this portrait.

But if the old sister can't come back...

This blank portrait can just replace the oil lamp in his hand that is about to go out of control!

Brother Zhu’s meat cleaver must be returned.

And once the oil lamp goes out of control, even if he can deal with it in advance, throw it into a place where the weirdness in it cannot be escaped.

For example, the bell tower appears regularly.

Afterwards, without the cursed object, he will be unable to walk in the castle!

Give it a try!

The bold Zhang Yao made a decision immediately.

If you don't fight, you will die.

He can't just run to Brother Pig whenever something strange happens in the future.

Furthermore.

It's usually at night when he encounters something strange.

He can no longer face the out-of-control Brother Pig without a second Resurrection Ankh!

Zhang Yao immediately made a decision, put the meat cleaver into his backpack, freed his right hand, rushed forward, and grabbed the portrait in the tree hole directly in his hand.

The moment he came into contact with the portrait, he immediately felt an extremely cold aura coming from the portrait.

Zhang Yao subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at the portrait.

I saw that his appearance appeared strangely on the blank drawing paper!

The face is expressionless, the eyes are empty, cold and dead, like a portrait!

suddenly.

His vision went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Yao found that he was inexplicably trapped in a gray space.

There was impenetrable darkness in all directions, and there was only a little light in front of him, which was a blackened wick burning in the blood. It was like being kneaded from a strand of long hair, and was soaked in dark red by the blood.

A pale scene was reflected in the firelight.

Zhang Yao focused his eyes on it and immediately saw that it was a desolate wilderness, with a majestic high black wall standing in the distance.

And nearby.

It is countless slender arms entangled together.

They shrink into a circle like a curtain, gradually surrounding the picture, and the visible range of vision becomes narrower and narrower...

not good!

This is clearly a scene unfolding from the perspective of a portrait!

Am I being sucked into the portrait?!

Zhang Yao was horrified.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand to grab the dim light, like a man trapped in a swamp, desperately grabbing at the only life-saving straw.

call!

The moment I grabbed the dark red oozing wick.

His consciousness suddenly shook.

immediately.

The picture in front of me returned to normal.

He was still standing in front of the tree hole, holding an oil lamp in one hand and a blank portrait in the other.

It was as if the scene just now was just his imagination.

Zhang Yao was already breaking out in a cold sweat. How could he not be able to tell whether the scene just now was real or fake?

He was almost sucked into this weird blank portrait!

fortunately.

The oil lamp restrained the strange effect and helped him break free from it!

Zhang Yao didn't know what he would look like if he was sucked into the portrait, and whether he could escape.

But he definitely didn't want to experience that terrible feeling again.

He did not dare to look at the portrait again.

Change hands and throw it into your backpack.

"What a danger! Cursed objects that have gone out of control are so scary. Hasn't my sister recovered from them?!"

Zhang Yao couldn't figure it out.

In his opinion, the reason why secondary strange objects are terrifying is that there is a strange thing sealed in them that may lose control at any time.

And its power should come from this.

But now it seems.

The secondary weird object itself is an extremely dangerous thing!

"You have to tell Brother Leg about this..."

Zhang Yao was thinking.

He quickly ran out of the slender arms that were about to break through the protection of the oil lamp.

Without looking back, he ran nearly a hundred meters away, and the slender arms that swept over him like a white wave gradually retracted.

"fine……

This weirdo doesn't move like the other weirdos..."

Zhang Yao rejoiced, and then immediately covered his mouth as if he was constipated. He couldn't talk nonsense anymore with his broken mouth!

Think about it this way.

The image of the pale corpse tree sprouting a bunch of human legs and running after him came to his mind subconsciously...

hiss……

Zhang Yao's scalp felt numb and he quickly returned to the wall.

"What to do next?"

He gradually calmed down his panic and began to think about the next steps.

"It's getting dark soon... Well, this is actually good news. I can just keep the meat cleaver for one night, and I'll have an excuse when Brother Pig wakes up..."

“Which place should I explore first?”

Zhang Yao hesitated for a while.

"Ask Brother Leg!"

He quickly and happily decided to ask this question to Cheng Shen.

…

"Out-of-control secondary cursed object? Blank portrait?"

Cheng Shen was stunned for a moment after seeing the news.

He thought of Aoki's coffin board.

After the two terrifying old men separated, the coffin board did not disappear directly, but seemed to have completed the exchange, once again suppressing the blood-stained cross and the newly fused saint in Aoki's body.

In other words, the secondary cursed object itself has extremely powerful abilities, rather than being conferred by the weird restrictions within it.

So.

In what way does its own power exist?

Only then did Cheng Shen suddenly realize that although he already had three cursed objects in his hand, none of them were secondary cursed objects.

Even if it's a parchment roll.

It is also a man-made cursed object with a high risk of getting out of control due to its poor craftsmanship.

There is no way to study it.

Cheng Shen couldn't tell whether he was lucky or unlucky for a moment...

"It's possible."

While he was answering, he was already thinking about how to get a secondary cursed object from Zhang Yao.

Quite the opposite to his situation.

Counting Brother Zhu’s meat cleaver,

The three cursed objects Zhang Yao obtained were all secondary cursed objects!

Think about it.

Cheng Shen still didn't say this when he needed it most.

His thoughts returned to the problem at hand.

Cheng Shen said: "The number of times you can use a meat cleaver is limited, so use it where it can create higher profits.

I can give you a few suggestions.

one,

It's time to explore the rooms on the second floor.

I'm not sure about the other rooms, but if the little girl hasn't gone back yet, it's definitely the lowest risk room for you to check.

Maybe something can be gained.

Second, is the study room.

The study is the most likely place to obtain the information left by the previous castle owner. If you can obtain it, it will be of great help to you in taking charge of the castle.

Furthermore, you can also find many records about ancient times in the study, which may give us some understanding of what happened in the old times.

The third location is the bell tower you mentioned.

I have long suspected that the castle you are in is different from normal time and space, and according to your description, the biggest suspicion is the bell tower!"

Speaking of which.

Cheng Shen inexplicably thought of the oil painting of a clock that was the only thing he didn't find while exploring the soul soil ruins.

An oil painting that can change time.

I don’t know what it has to do with the clock tower in the castle that only appears at fixed times...

"That's right! Why did I forget to explore the room on the second floor!"

Zhang Yao slapped his head.

"etc."

Cheng Shen stopped him, traded the soul-killing blade that was temporarily unused, and told him what he needed to pay attention to when using it.

Although the soul-killing blade is not as good as the meat cleaver, its backlash damage is relatively lower.

Zhang Yao himself is a profession that is good at physical defense. Even if he cannot use it for free like him, he can at least resist for a period of time.

Cheng Shen suddenly understood.

Perhaps the only purpose of changing jobs is to give them more power to resist the backlash of cursed objects.

As for other enemies.

It's not worth mentioning in the face of weird threats...
