Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The black iron plate wrapped in spiritual power exudes an ominous atmosphere.

It's like a hot potato.

Cheng Shen did not touch it. He held it far in the air and quickly scanned it with his eyes. The iron plate was about the width of a palm and had an edge, like a piece of broken sword. The dark material was still tinged with dark red. Bloodstains.

[Broken Exile Commander Long Sword Three]

【Props】

[Level: Normal]

[Explanation: One of the fragments of a long sword. When holding this fragment, the existence of other fragments can be sensed within a certain range. When all the fragments are collected, it can be recast into a complete weapon through forging]

…

"An ordinary weapon fragment, but somehow it is contaminated with a strange power."

Cheng Shen speculated in his heart about the possible meaning behind this item.

However, although this fragment is contaminated with a weird aura, it is not on the same level as the several cursed objects he has mastered. If the cursed object is a purely weird object, it can only be regarded as an imitation at best.

And the power of the increase is limited.

The negatives are huge.

No normal person would use such a weapon.

unless.

Its original owner was like the guy just now, who suffered from strange erosion, but was not dead yet.

In this case, the items he carries with him will be contaminated with a strange aura.

But this level of influence is not enough to contaminate an ordinary item into a truly cursed object.

therefore.

Even if it is put together and recast, it is only equivalent to an ordinary weapon.

So, why did that weird person just leave it here on purpose?

Cheng Shen checked the attribute description of this fragment again.

"It wants me to collect the fragments of this weapon?

Or rather.

Is it providing a positioning function for a certain being who has mastered the fragments of other broken swords!?"

The second thought made Cheng Shen's heart suddenly stir.

But think about it again.

He couldn't think of the reason why the other party did this.

Now that the weirdo has been able to accurately find his location, there is no reason for the existence behind him to not be able to find himself. There is no need to go through such troublesome methods...

So the former is more likely.

"But how can it be sure that I can get this weapon together?"

Cheng Shen was very puzzled.

Suddenly.

He suddenly opened the map around the territory.

On the pitch-black map, only the areas near his territory were lit up. This map is called the Forest of Darkness, and he has only unlocked one-seventh of the map fragments.

And there are four other forces in this area.

land of gargoyles,

Forgotten Mine,

Bloodthirsty Demon Castle,

Exile Village.

Among these four power points, the Gargoyle Land has been halfway explored, but the key temple buildings have not yet been excavated, and the sealing formation in the core area has not been opened, so there is no sign that it has been occupied.

Cheng Shen looked directly at the last power point at this time. The same prefix made him doubt the connection between the two.

"Maybe it's trying to guide me there."

Cheng Shen guessed the weirdo's purpose.

Immediately afterwards.

He noticed another thing that had been ignored before.

It can be seen that these four power points are connected crookedly in a line on one-seventh of the map, and the distances are gradually increased.

And the direction the last exile village points to...

It is indeed the city of the past!

moment.

Cheng Shen understood everything in his mind as if there was an electric shock.

"It is guiding me into the Old City!... It can also be regarded as a threat! The person in the Old City who is watching me has given me half a month, but its layout has already begun.

Got it!"

Cheng Shen was horrified in his heart.

He didn't know what kind of disaster would happen if he didn't arrive at the City of the Old within half a month, but the strange man who was eroded by the strangeness just now and the dagger it deliberately left behind had already proved one thing to him.

There may be something strange that can be controlled in the old city!

Like,

Just like the original Aoki.

Cheng Shen has always been quite afraid of heterogeneous co-existences like him.

If it's just weird, even if it's as terrifying as Tenant No. 5 and the Curse of the Deep Sea, as long as we can find a way to deal with it, we can avoid it through the rules of its curse propagation! Because weird people don't know how to think!

But once the strangeness is controlled by a creature with high intelligence.

The terror it can create will be far greater, and its attack methods will no longer be restricted by the laws of communication.

Can take unlimited shots!

Aoki has already confirmed this to him!

He could control the strange power in his body at the cost of deepening the erosion and launch an attack on any target! At this moment, Cheng Shen fully realized what a disaster it would be to be targeted by beings in the city of the past!

"Fifteen days...

Judging from this matter, it seems that the other party’s patience is not that long.”

Cheng Shen fell into deep thought.

After a while.

He put away the fragments of the broken sword in front of him.

Although it was unclear what the other party's purpose was, the strange aura on this fragment alone was not enough to threaten him. Cheng Shen wanted to find out what would happen after gathering the fragments of this weapon together.

Later.

He turned around and entered the laboratory again.

Before exploring the four power points, Cheng Shen wanted to fully understand the science of potions, so that in addition to the science of talismans and formations he had mastered, he could gain another kind of enhancement.

means.

…

The change of time cannot be seen in the sky shrouded in dark lead clouds.

The only thing that can record time is the system.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Cheng Shen walked out of the laboratory.

The trade fair originally scheduled to be held today has already started, but because he opened the dungeon in advance and harvested a large amount of gold coins from the survivors, this trade fair could not replicate the grand occasion of the last time.

However, the overall income has more than doubled compared to last time.

Cheng Shen made a brief inspection, and then signed and revised several of the development plans and trade trends for the territory submitted by Amy.

Later.

Then the troops were organized.

Once again, we came to the stronghold of the Gargoyle Land.

After a few days, the monsters in the temple ruins had spawned, but they could not stop the iron-blooded soldiers whose levels and equipment had been greatly improved. After a steady and orderly battle, the map was cleared.

Cheng Shen walked directly to the cemetery behind the ruins.

Darkness spreads.

A strong evil aura rises on every ancient tombstone.

Cheng Shen casually applied a few holy light shields to himself, and then his eyes turned golden red. The formation in front of him was immediately restored to its essence. After observing it for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and shot a blood-coagulating arrow.

Peng!

Bloody light blooms in the darkness.

The broken tombstone was immediately blown to pieces, and a large amount of soil was thrown up along with the ground, revealing a corpse that had rotted into bones.

The clothing on this corpse has not completely decayed.

It can be seen.

It is a kind of sacrificial clothing with ancient worship style.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest, as if holding a non-existent baby, and wore a totem mask with five-color patterns on his face.

The moment the tombstone is broken.

The eyes under the mask suddenly lit up with a strange fishy light.

Peng!

Immediately afterwards.

The monster was blown to pieces by Cheng Shen with a single blow from the air.

The mask was shattered in the explosion, and streaks of black energy quickly drained from it. In Cheng Shen's field of vision, he could see that a large area of ​​the surrounding formation patterns was instantly cleared, and the intensity of the dark formation was immediately reduced by a few points.

Whoosh!

Cheng Shen quickly took action again.

He searched for the formation's veins and accurately found the formation's base and the formation's main structure.

Destroy them one by one.

He used the conventional method of breaking the formation by breaking the formation's eyes, rather than violently cracking it. Therefore, it did not cause any backlash from the formation.

As the tombstones were shattered one after another.

The dense dark field shrouding the cemetery gradually became clearer.

A dilapidated cemetery fell into Cheng Shen's eyes, and the formation carved by thick red stripes in the center of the cemetery was completely exposed.

The nodes of this core formation are clear at a glance.

They were thirteen blood-red human stakes. Their limbs had been cut off and they were standing on the battlefield. They had a ferocious mask on their face and a red-stained shroud on their bodies. There was blood flowing from a hole above their heads. .

Wisps of blood merged into the formation on the ground, forming blood-red chains that wrapped around a dark and burly body in the center of the formation.

Wow!

The chain made a slight shaking sound, and the monster that had been locked in the formation for an unknown period of time was actually still alive. As the outer formation disappeared, it raised its huge head, and the fierce flames in its eyes burned as if it had substance!

The monster looks like a black giant with wings.

Its whole body is muscular, and its tendons bulge into fist-sized black lumps, which are as tightly packed as granite.

The dark blue skin is covered with scars and scars, and there are even broken knives and swords stuck in various parts of the body.

There are three pairs of wings on its back, which are quite weird. The styles are actually different. There are wings like birds, and there are fleshy wings like bats. It is as if they were forcibly spliced ​​on its body through surgery.

The monster's face seemed to be inlaid with a cyan mask showing its fangs.

winter!

It suddenly stood up, and the blood-colored chains condensed from the human pile suddenly stretched straight. However, no matter how the monster separated and struggled, the seemingly slender chains never showed signs of breaking.

"Level 25 leader monster."

Cheng Shen got close enough to see the monster's attributes clearly.

"roar!"

The monster roared, the sound was like thunder, but it only made Cheng Shen reach out and rub his ears.

The attributes of this monster were indeed difficult for him to deal with when he first explored this area, but now, Cheng Shen can fight even the peak lord-level creatures, and a mere leader monster no longer poses any threat to him.

Cheng Shen walked forward, completely ignoring the monster's ferocious and confused gaze, and carefully studied the sealing formation under it.

He soon saw the clues.

"Strange, the function of this formation is not only to seal, but also to cultivate..."

Cheng Shen murmured.

Later.

He turned back and quickly waved to the accompanying farmers who had been staying outside the ruins to enter the territory.

Begin excavation of the collapsed temple building.

The last time we were unable to excavate, it was because of the lack of tools, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to rely on manpower alone. However, after Cheng Shen returned from the camp war, the basic vehicles had been unlocked in the Shenji Workshop, and he could start the transportation work with twice the result with half the effort.

Simple wooden vehicles were quickly pushed into the ruins by the farmers. With everyone's concerted efforts, the huge stone bricks were also moved away.

"This formation is quite simple."

In the blink of an eye.

Cheng Shen has already deconstructed the entire formation, and he can destroy it at any time.

I just have some doubts in my heart.

"This monster should have been sealed here by the aborigines of this ruins, but why did they not kill it after paying a huge price to capture it, but instead kept it here?"

Cheng Shen has a thorough understanding of this formation.

Shocking discovery.

In addition to the basic sealing function of this formation, the thirteen human stakes are also absorbing and transforming the energy of heaven and earth all the time, inputting it into the monster's body, as if helping it to practice.

"Lord, the entrance to the temple has been dug!"

At this time.

A loud voice came.

Cheng Shen's thoughts were interrupted. He did not release the monster immediately and kill it. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the temple.

The top of the towering temple seemed to have been cut off by a divine thunder, but the whole was still majestic. A gap was removed from the collapsed stone bricks in front of the entrance. The opening was not even one-tenth the size of the temple door, but it could already allow people to enter.

A huge stone gate carved with ancient mysterious patterns peeks out from the ruins, giving off an air of desolation.

At this moment, Cheng Shen couldn't help but feel a sacred feeling of revealing ancient history.

"The door opens inward, but there seems to be something blocking it inside, so we can't open it directly from the outside."

Dameng reminded.

Cheng Shen nodded.

His eyes seemed to be able to see through the thick door and see inside. There was indeed a deep color. Behind the door, he could only see the outline of the object, which looked like an erected octagonal sarcophagus.

Cheng Shen's spiritual power continued to spread internally.

But soon.

An invisible force stopped him from looking any further.

"Another formation that blocks perception."

Cheng Shen pondered for a while.

One of his arms suddenly collapsed and melted, scattering into bright red blood, which penetrated towards the crack of the door. During the penetration process, he also noticed obstacles, but this time he chose to directly violently break through the formation behind the door.

Peng!

A soft sound.

Under the pervasive penetration of Cheng Shen's strong blood energy, the remaining protective power on the door was directly pierced, and blood flowed into the dusty hall, and a pair of indifferent eyes emerged from it.

Behind the door is a wide aisle, which seems to be built for giants. It is five meters wide and has no top. On both sides stand statues wearing yellow masks and three meters tall holding spears.

on the wall.

There are various ancient murals full of primitive tribal atmosphere.

But the moment Cheng Shen rushed in, it seemed that he had broken the protection of this temple.

Those murals are fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Cheng Shen took a quick glance, and with his strong memory, he had already remembered more than half of the content recorded on the mural.

"Ancient sacrifice...god worship...the indigenous people of this ruins once believed in a god.

but……"

Cheng Shen looked at the only mural that recorded the image of a god.

Look at the pitch-black ball of light and the arms with eyeballs extending out from it.

He had good reason to be suspicious.

These temple survivors believe in an out-and-out evil god.

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

When Shen Changqing walks on the road and meets familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who it is.

There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.

Regarding this.

Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, it also has some other side jobs.

It can be said.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.

The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.

Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Slayer Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.

Then he will be promoted step by step, and eventually he is expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.

Possess the memory of the previous life.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.

Unlike other places in the Demon Suppression Division that are full of chills, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppression Division.

At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.

Enter the attic.

The environment just changes in vain.

The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, causing him to frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.

There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Zhenmo Division.
