Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The omen brought by the giant eagle made Cheng Shen speed up a series of actions.

He originally planned to place this group of goblins in the temple ruins first, but he was afraid that the building would cause traumatic stress disorder in them.

Simply.

Cheng Shen directly took out a hub of order and built a new territory.

This Order Hub was acquired by him before. After the trade market was built, some survivors gave up their business territories and joined other people's territorial forces through the market, becoming free adventurers.

Territories that have not been destroyed by monsters can be recycled through the system.

Restored to a hub of order.

It stands to reason.

The price of a Nexus of Order is extremely precious to survivors.

However, Cheng Shen changed the living pattern of these survivors and accelerated the market construction process.

As a result, the number of survivors now far exceeds previous batches.

In the past, when there were survivors who raised their territory to level three and opened the trade market, I was afraid that there would not be many survivors left.

And the remaining people will not give up their well-developed territory easily.

therefore.

The number of order hubs in circulation is quite rare.

Basically, it can only be obtained by invading the Chaos Lord with a very small probability.

But many people in Cheng Shen's batch have the opportunity to choose.

To acquire this Nexus of Order, he only paid the price of a set of rare equipment.

In addition, he also reserved an extra one.

【Should we build an auxiliary territory?】

…

The blue light ball in Cheng Shen's hand emits a bright light, shining on the forest floor in front of him.

"yes!"

The roar from the ground responded to his affirmation, and a small house with a simple courtyard slowly rose from the ground.

【Affiliated territory has been built!】

【Permissions have been synchronized!】

【You can set up managers for this territory!】

…

Cheng Shen did nothing. He first brought a batch of materials from the territory to upgrade the central building of this subsidiary territory to level three.

Third level territory.

In order to accommodate the huge population of this goblin tribe.

Immediately afterwards, a number of luxurious residences were built for the goblin tribe to live in.

——The effect of luxury residences is not only reflected in recruitment, but also the attributes of ordinary residents living there will gradually increase over time.

Having this ready batch of goblin tribesmen also saved him a batch of food needed for recruitment.

"You just live here first. I will provide you with food and tools, but you have to understand that none of this is free."

Cheng Shen said bluntly to Weiman.

"clear!"

Looking at everything in front of him, Weiman still felt unsatisfied.

A vast world.

Comfortable residence.

There is also the food that is being transported in truckloads.

"That's flour? That's vegetables!?"

Weiman, who had been eating almost only one kind of food for decades, saw his eyes straight.

Not only him, but the goblin tribesmen who were fleeing for their lives behaved even worse, and their eyes began to turn green.

If it hadn't been for the intimidation of the heavily armed soldiers, there would have been a riot.

Even in this territory, the trees that have not yet been cleared are a bit dense and somewhat obstruct the view. However, the surviving goblin tribesmen are not completely helpless patients. It is not difficult to cut down a tree.

"Just tell us whatever you need us to do!"

Weiman said immediately.

"First make a list of people and give it to me as soon as possible."

Cheng Shen said.

"Those who can participate in labor are marked with their areas of expertise. What I need most are talents in scientific research."

he emphasized.

Weiman heard Cheng Shen's intention, patted his chest, and said with confidence: "We, the goblins, are all geniuses who are proficient in research!"

Of course Cheng Shen did not deny what he said.

However, after being enslaved for hundreds of years and severely restricting development, only he himself knows the extent of his words.

Cheng Shen didn't expose it either.

At least, the level of research they showed on the surface was worth his efforts.

Treat the disease first.

Cheng Shen took out all the healing props in the territory, including the first-level magic purification technique and the second-level magic healing light wave. The combination of these two magics can basically cure most goblins' diseases and restore them to health.

The abyss pollution accumulated in their bodies can only be gradually recovered through long-term body metabolism.

Cheng Shen specially formed a medical team to take charge of this matter.

Take some time off.

He awakened the consciousness of the clone left in the underground world.

…

A blood-red terrifying environment gradually became clear.

Cheng Shen twisted his somewhat stiff neck.

Look around.

The passage behind the slaughterhouse showed no signs of intrusion.

An hour has passed. Has the revenge of the mysterious force not arrived yet?

He controlled his clone to stand up.

Cheng Shen was already prepared to sacrifice this clone, and the strength of the remaining consciousness was not high. At this time, it was somewhat difficult to control this body that contained huge blood energy.

However, the impact is not too serious.

It's really a fight.

He only needs to let the clone disintegrate into a blood river or blood mist form, and rely on blood-burning poison and septic frenzy to deal damage.

The operation itself is not important.

This understanding basically has a control and activation effect.

Walking down the steps, the underground river ahead is still flowing gently as always.

But Cheng Shen soon discovered something was wrong.

There are fewer coffins.

There were at least hundreds of black coffins floating in the underground river, and they were all connected in a mighty way. It was hard to notice the sudden loss of dozens of coffins.

However, Cheng Shen is used to recording every detail.

He suddenly took two steps back.

He lowered his head and carefully observed the edge of the steps at his feet that had long been corroded into ink.

Some slender and moist foot prints can be vaguely seen on it.

Like,

It looked like something had tried to crawl out of the water.

"Is the thing in the coffin alive?"

Cheng Shen guessed.

The remains of the ancestors of those abandoned by the temple had long since rotted away, leaving only a handful of bones and dregs. Are they all being awakened?

Something must have happened here just now...

call!

A thin drop of blood oozed from his body, fell into the air, and quickly dispersed into misty mist. Then, the area covered by the blood mist began to expand at an alarming speed, forming a haze that covered the sky and the sun in the blink of an eye.

The fog tide clung to the cave and surged through the underground river.

this time.

The monster in the river did not appear.

Only the dark skeleton faces appeared silently under the water, like scapegoats waiting to drag people into the water, silently.

Cheng Shen ignored them.

Floating directly towards the Bone Hall in the distance.

Just got close.

He noticed that there were large and scattered wet footprints on the ground in front of the temple. The black liquid flowing in the footprints seemed to be corrosive, eroding the ground into deep pits. There were twisted creatures still squirming in the pits.

"It seems that the monsters in the underground river sent units to check this place after I left..."

Cheng Shen made a mental note of this.

Keep going.

He saw that the dark footprints only stayed at the entrance of the hall and did not come any closer.

It was as if there was an invisible force stopping it.

However, Cheng Shen was very sure that there was no other formation besides his arrangement in this bone palace.

The only thing that can stop it is the influence of an external factor...

The blood mist gradually seeped into the hall, and Cheng Shen carefully inspected every corner.

The first thing he went to was the top floor where the treasure house was placed.

"Huh? The formation has been triggered!"

Cheng Shen looked for traces.

Suddenly.

A pool of transparent liquid that was melting and seeping into the cracks in the ground appeared in front of him.

Cheng Shen stretched out his hand and picked up a wisp of transparent liquid. It had a smooth gelatinous texture and no attributes. He also did not receive any kill prompts.

It seems to be the remnants left behind by some creature unintentionally.

Guess based on distance.

It is very likely that when the monster tried to destroy the formation, it was knocked away by the attack of the formation, fell here, and then splashed the residue on the ground...

Cheng Shen could already imagine that scene in his mind.

After checking the treasure house, he was even more sure of this. The monster was indeed blocked by the formation.

Cheng Shen was not surprised.

The formation he randomly arranged can reach the second level, which is more than enough to destroy ordinary lord units.

If you don't have a certain level of strength and want to forcefully break the formation, you will only be killed by the power of the formation. After this monster tried once, it didn't make another move.

Pretty smart.

layer.

In the side hall where the pool was built, Cheng Shen once again found similar traces. Transparent mucus remained on the edge of the pool. There was originally a psychic boat in the pool, but it was now gone.

"This monster came ashore from here..."

Cheng Shen concluded.

The pool was surrounded by stone walls on all sides, but he had seen with his own eyes the strange man's attempt to board the boat and escape.

Naturally, there is no doubt that this pool has unique teleportation capabilities.

However, the other psychic ship is still in Cheng Shen's body, and there is nothing he can do if he wants to try it now.

After staying briefly, Cheng Shen controlled the blood mist to flow towards the underground palace.

puff……

It took him about ten seconds to leave the side hall.

With a soft sound, a transparent halo of light slowly dissipated in mid-air.

A monster with transparent mucus flowing all over its body and a huge head covered with mushroom-like protrusions emerged from it.

A pair of faint blue pupils in its swollen and narrowed eyes looked at the direction Cheng Shen left, as if scenes were flashing by.

"Gulu?"

A string of bubbles rose up from the translucent head like liquid.

"Gulu!"

It seemed to be communicating with a certain being, floating in place, making strange noises from time to time. Not long after, a black and red envelope suddenly squeezed out of its body and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards.

It turned around and floated into the pool, quickly sinking to the bottom and disappearing.

"It's an investigative creature."

Half of Cheng Shen's head suddenly squeezed out of the ceiling, and his cold eyes looked at the place where the monster disappeared.

He had already discovered this monster when he entered the side hall.

Even if his clone cannot activate the power of energy control, how can the all-pervasive blood mist ignore the existence of such a large foreign body?

It was just that he realized that it was very weak and did not look like a thug waiting to attack him, so Cheng Shen did not rashly alert it.

immediately.

Blood mist falls.

He rolled up the envelope on the ground and sent it to Cheng Shen.

The envelope seemed to have been soaked in blood for a long time, and had become black with blood. The paper was old, and a ball of ever-changing red ink paste seemed to be flowing blood, with a vague outline of a strange mark on it.

【Devil's Invitation】

…

Cheng Shen could only find such a name through the system.

After thinking about it, he realized that he was just a clone, and any attack he suffered would not affect his true body.

Cheng Shen reached out and took the envelope without much hesitation and opened it directly.

Half of a torn yellowed paper page appeared in the envelope. When he pulled it out, the writing on it appeared clearly.

"No matter who you are and for what purpose you destroyed this place, when you read this letter, it means that the transaction between us can continue, and in return you will receive the power of the gods..."

…

The change had already begun when Cheng Shen took out the letter.

The blood-red fonts on the letter paper began to twist like tadpoles, and then gradually turned into handwriting that was somewhat familiar but completely incomprehensible.

Cheng Shen only glanced at it and recalled it instantly.

This is devilish writing!

Similar style of text appeared in the materials he searched in the Bone Palace before!

The devilish writings quickly flew out from the letter paper and clung to Cheng Shen's hand. Cheng Shen subconsciously wanted to throw away the letter paper. Unexpectedly, the torn half piece of letter paper was also strange and clung tightly to his fingers.

As those devilish writings got under his skin.

call!

The yellowed paper suddenly burst into flames.

The content above became complete. It was a contract signed with his real name "Cheng Shen" and another unfamiliar name!

The contract quickly burned to ashes.

A system prompt sounded.

[Warning! You have signed a contract with a devil!]

…

Even the prompts given by the system are warnings, which shows how serious the harm of this devil's contract is.

But Cheng Shen was a little confused.

He just glanced at it and didn't even know what the deal proposed by the devil was.

Why did you sign the contract all of a sudden?

It's not like he hasn't used contracts before, but both parties must agree before they can sign.

Once signed, it is considered a legal contract.

However.

This devil's contract actually broke the rules defined by the system!

He checked his status, and an eye-catching mark suddenly appeared in his character panel.

[Devil's Contract: Passive, you need to meet some requirements put forward by the devil, but you will definitely get a return equal to what you paid]

…

Just look at this description.

It seems that this so-called devil's contract is quite fair and reasonable.

However, based on Cheng Shen's experience, he simply shouldn't be too sensitive to the literal traps in this contract.

First of all, just one requirement that must be met by the devil can trap people to death!

"The abilities of this race are really hard to guard against."

Cheng Shen frowned secretly.

Aljieka introduced the devil to be so terrifying and cunning, and he undoubtedly now understands it deeply.

"I have recorded this account."

Cheng Shen nodded.

Although he didn't know how he was tricked and forced to sign the contract, the devil should not have thought that he could be manipulated so easily, nor should its true name be exposed.

The luster in his eyes quickly dissipated.

Following this, Cheng Shen's entire body quickly fell apart like a sandcastle that had lost its support.

However, his collapsed body did not turn into a river of blood and spread. In order to avoid raising a terrifying flesh and blood monster in this environment full of pollution and distortion, Cheng Shen directly wiped out the life fluctuations of this body.
