Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"Buzz..."

The sound waves echoed at a special frequency underwater, hollow and distant, and seemed to carry an inexplicable loneliness.

Behind the strange fish, the countless slender tentacles suddenly emitted a colorful shimmer, either gathering or scattering, like countless mysterious ocean elves dancing, and more like a dreamy luminous cloud.

The light interweaves and changes in the darkness, seeming to form different light and shadow patterns.

But when Cheng Shen carefully observed the meaning of those graphics, they seemed to be like bubbles in the water, elusive and fleeting, leaving only a shallow memory imprint in his consciousness.

"Something weird..."

Cheng Shen did not ignore this unusualness.

As for his understanding of ancient elven runes, even if he has only been exposed to them for a short time and has not conducted in-depth research, due to the particularity of his energy control talent, he is more proficient than ordinary rune carvers who have been immersed in this art for many years.

And at this moment.

In his sight.

The countless fantastic shapes changing behind the strange fish are just like the profound and complex ancient elf runes!

With this speculation.

When Cheng Shen looked at the graphics again, he suddenly felt enlightened.

That’s right!

It was the rune. This strange fish was actually showing him the secret of high-level runes in this unique way!

Cheng Shen was shocked and quickly remembered those fantasy graphics firmly in his mind. Thanks to the advantages of being a professional, the improvement of his wisdom attribute had made a huge difference in his memory and many other aspects.

Now, not only can he have a photographic memory in one glance and ten lines at the same time, he is almost there.

and.

Out of understanding the runes.

Cheng Shen knew more clearly how to record it.

It's a pity that he is in bright red form now, otherwise, he could use his mental power to carve runes.

Regardless of any rune, as long as he can successfully release it once, he can directly master it by borrowing the power of the system.

“There are three graphic variations…

If it were really a rune, it would probably be something quite extraordinary. Its structure would be more complicated than the three-ring rune that constructed the demon puppet, and it would only be slightly worse than the figure recorded in the Source of Life Stone...

"

Cheng Shen was secretly surprised.

The constructed demon puppet was analyzed from the guards when he conquered the land of gargoyles.

In addition, there is another three-ring talisman.

The light of annihilation.

But the body of the lord with the rune engraved on it is still being dismantled in the Shenji Workshop.

certainly.

Other survivors would certainly not have such unique benefits.

At most, you can only get a few powerful props that can release three-ring magic for a limited number of times.

And there is a high probability that it cannot be repaired after use.

The legendary talent of energy control allows Cheng Shen to turn many precious and powerful one-time items into mass-produced goods...

"Strange...why does it show these graphics to itself? Or is this some kind of special 'setting'?"

Cheng Shen never forgot.

The world always operates according to the rules of a game.

Therefore, it does not seem strange that there will be some hidden trigger settings...

in other words.

This lord creature seems to be a relatively friendly being?

Cheng Shen was still a little confused for a moment, but he would not take risks just because of a guess. After all, he was coming in his true form at this moment, and if he aroused the malice of this lord creature, his life would be in danger.

And even if it is determined to be a friendly unit.

It doesn't matter either.

The faction war will start every other week. At worst, you can just wait until the next time to contact it again.

At least.

Cheng Shen must first ensure that he has sufficient self-protection capabilities.

"Woo..."

In bursts of waves, the strange fish swam around the blood stain created by Cheng Shen, displaying its colorful and gorgeous tail wings. At the same time, it kept humming, like a curious killer whale that had discovered a human diver underwater.

But after it saw that Cheng Shen hadn't replied for a long time, or had already eaten, it quickly waved its wide fins and swam away into the distance.

I don't know how vast the underground world this deep lake occupies in the darkness.

Even with such a huge body, the monster fish can swim without any hindrance.

In the blink of an eye.

The gorgeous tail floating behind it was nothing but a hazy glimmer in Cheng Shen's eyes.

The surroundings became quiet and cold again, except for the ripples caused by the shadows of unknown fish that occasionally crossed in the distance.

Wow...

At this time, Cheng Shen controlled his body to gather in one place, but the speed was very slow, and he did not feel as free as before. It was like an ordinary person sinking into a muddy pond. Every time he mobilized a bit of strength, he felt extremely heavy.

"The restraint effect in the water is so strong..."

Cheng Shen thought to himself.

The ability to turn bright red will be greatly affected in water, which he has known for a long time.

It's just that Cheng Shen has never tested the limit.

There is no such condition.

fine.

This time he dared to go into the water only after making preparations.

Otherwise, he might have to wait until the camp war is over before he can escape from this lake - blood is denser than water, and even if he can guarantee that he will not be dissolved, it is almost impossible to see the light of day again.

Under water.

It was difficult for Cheng Shen to control even his own movements...

Before all the blood could gather, he immediately re-condensed into his human form, then switched back to his normal form, and activated the crawler suit at the moment of drowning.

Huge water pressure suddenly rushed towards him from all directions.

moment.

Streams of blood overflowed from Cheng Shen's mouth and nose, and every bone in his body seemed to be screaming in overwhelming grief.

During the stalemate with the strange fish, he unknowingly dived into deeper waters.

And this is already the limit that his normal form can bear.

Cheng Shen immediately controlled the bone-eroding crocodile to swim upstream, no longer obsessed with exploring the unknown at the bottom of the water. He had a hunch that getting those three mysterious figures from diving into the bottom of the lake might be the biggest gain.

Soon, the water pressure gradually decreased.

There was bright skylight overhead.

Wow!

Cheng Shen suddenly climbed out of the water. The crocodile's body was almost covered with scars and blood was flowing. He took a few breaths, and then quickly switched between the bright red form and the normal form to stabilize the injury.

【Occupying:22:56!】

…

A line of countdown numbers automatically pops into view.

Only then did Cheng Shen realize that he had spent nearly forty minutes diving underwater this time.

However, it seems that the resource hub has not been attacked in the past forty minutes.

Still within his occupation.

Cheng Shen took another look at the casualties in the territory. Except for a few wounded, the death toll was zero.

Only then was it determined.

As expected, the Mad Demon and the Dark Crow did not take advantage of this time to attack him.

Forty minutes.

It was enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in this camp war.

Cheng Shen opened the battlefield channel and first saw the number of surviving Order Lords: 8/10!

One Lord of Order has been officially eliminated by the war.

But it was not the wilderness war zone where the corpse insect lord was, but in the valley.

The one who killed the survivor was Shadow Ghost, another Chaos Lord who was second only to Mad Demon and Dark Crow on the comprehensive combat power list.

The strange thing is.

The Lord of Order did not issue any warning before he died.

This is obviously not normal.

If the territory is attacked from the front, not only will he be selfless enough to provide some useful information, he will definitely send a message for help.

But it was as if he suddenly disappeared.

"Could it be that he was assassinated?"

"It's possible! Shadow Ghost, just by looking at its name, it's not difficult to guess that it is most likely a race that is extremely good at assassination!"

"@青连, you are also in the valley, be careful!"

"Thanks for the reminder!"

"If you can't, just run away! I'm already ready to run away. The Undead Lord is so perverted! If it hadn't used its main force to compete for that resource hub, my territory would have been bulldozed long ago!"

"You are so unlucky... Fortunately for me, the scroll provided by the boss is quite effective, and several waves of attacks have been successfully repelled!"

"It's really strong! I almost killed a Chaos Lord! Unfortunately, it ran too fast!"

"It's easy to use, but it's just a little lacking..."

"@成, boss! Let me sign a few more deeds of sale! I can sell it to anyone!"

"Damn, that wasn't your attitude just now! Who shouted, Give me freedom or die?"

"Who said that? I never said it! Don't accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air! I have always been very devout in my belief in the boss!"

"Speaking of which, there are suddenly so many crows here..."

"..."

There are a large number of chat records stored in the chat box, and Cheng Shen obtained some information from them.

He wasn't too surprised by the change in attitudes of the survivors, or he didn't care at all. If keeping these people wasn't useful, he wouldn't let go of any suspect who might be a mole.

Of course, since they signed the contract, they were his own, so Cheng Shen generously reissued a set of scrolls to each person.

Make sure they survive.

Other information is related to the Chaos Lord.

First of all, the lord named Shadow Ghost may be a race that is good at assassination.

Um……

Its ability is restrained by its profession. With passive skills and abnormal blood volume support, it is difficult for Cheng Shen to be assassinated with one blow.

Unless there is an absolute difference in strength.

But obviously.

This shadow ghost lord is not that strong yet.

But Aljieka and other iron-blooded soldiers need to pay attention...

Cheng Shen then noticed another piece of information.

The Dark Crow left?

He glanced at the location of the survivor who spoke.

It's in the wilderness.

That is the territory where the Corpse Insects are located.

In order to avoid him, Dark Crow would actually be willing to confront this popular undead lord?

Cheng Shen was surprised and at the same time guessed the key after thinking about it.

"Dark Crow is the lord of darkness, and undead creatures are monsters infected by darkness. Its life status has a crushing advantage over undead creatures, and it is likely to absorb the opponent effortlessly."

He thought about it.

Another reason.

It is also because volcanoes and ice fields are not suitable for its race.

And the valley is occupied by a shadow ghost, who is actually a lord who is almost the same as it.

If it wants to change its territory, the wilderness is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for it.

However, this discovery still surprised Cheng Shen.

Although he had eliminated a unit of the Dark Crows, it could be judged from the comprehensive combat strength that even if the group of Crow Guards he had eliminated earlier was included, it would not be considered a heavy blow to it.

It still retains at least 70% of its troops.

Just give up like that?

Should I say it is timid or extremely cautious?

Cheng Shen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

After finally encountering an opponent who was restrained by his own ability, he ran away so simply...

"It doesn't matter if we run away, at least this area will be stable. As long as the mad demon's flame domain cannot cross the river, it will always be a weak side in the competition for the resource hub. Don't worry, it basically no longer poses a threat."

Cheng Shen recalled his thoughts.

Next.

The goal is to secure this resource hub and at the same time compete for resource points in other areas.

If he didn't want his troops to suffer too much loss, this step would require the cooperation of other survivors.

Before that.

We can't let them be eliminated by the Chaos Lord first.

There is no need to worry about this in the short term, as the Chaos Lords are still busy fighting among themselves.

They also want to compete for resource hubs with each other, and after seizing the hub, it will take an hour to occupy the hub. During this period, it is difficult for them to gather too many troops to launch an attack on the Order camp.

However, there are two points to note.

One is the wilderness.

The second is the valley.

With two powerful Chaos Lords, Dark Crow and Shadow Ghost, the Chaos forces in these two areas will be unified at a faster speed.

And once the former collects the corpse insects.

The threat is undoubtedly the greatest.

If it is allowed to raise the level of the altar through the income from the resource hub, it is very likely that even an ordinary undead unit will be stronger than an elite.

Originally, the tide of undead and zombies relied on quantity to win, but once they were supplemented by quality, it would be a real disaster.

"We can't wait for it to complete its occupation. We must take the initiative to attack. Even if it doesn't work, we must interfere with its occupation time!"

Cheng Shen murmured.

"Before that..."

Three wonderful graphics gradually emerged in his mind.

His mental power began to mobilize involuntarily, drawing transparent lines in front of him along a special trajectory.

at the same time.

His mana began to fall rapidly like a flood that burst a dam!

"Such a high consumption!"

Cheng Shen was shocked.

His spiritual consciousness was divided into three, and the main body's mental strength was only half of its peak. The upper limit of mana in normal form was only:

3054.

This is no longer low.

The magic consumption of a second-level player is only 500~700 points.

But when he started to carve this rune, only halfway through the carving, the full amount of mana quickly bottomed out! Seeing that the mana was instantly empty, Cheng Shen immediately switched himself to the soul form.

Buzz!

A blue shadow emerged on his body.

The additional conversion of attributes instantly increased Cheng Shen's upper limit of mana to:

7905.

What's more important is the automatic recovery bonus brought by 304 points of wisdom.

6% per second,

That’s nearly 500 mana points per second!

The abundant mana finally supported Cheng Shen to complete the carving of this rune.

boom!

All of a sudden.

The energy of the water element within a radius of a hundred meters began to swirl, as if forming a tsunami-like wave.

The runes adsorbing elemental energy quickly rose into the sky.

Turn into a little light.

Then, a condensed blue trident fell straight down from the sky, like a scepter thrown by a god, and hit the lake hard!

Boom!!

It looked like a nuclear bomb had been detonated under the calm water.

In an instant.

Set off huge waves tens of meters high!
