Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

The flower bones planted on the corpses all over the house have bloomed.

Within the brightly colored buds, there are shiny fruits.

These fruits are the results of botanists' research.

Also a seed.

These alchemists working in the castle all have more or less unique skills. For example, Morais is unique in the research of flesh and blood, and He-Man is more proficient in medical treatment and surgery.

What this botanist is good at is cultivation and reproduction.

It has a very special ability, which is that through the support of its body, it can retain the seeds of plants, keeping them active for a long time, and can plant the seeds at the appropriate time to allow them to resume growth.

In Cheng Shen's opinion.

This ability is simply a magical skill in this dark world where resources are scarce!

It's a pity that it was used in the wrong place.

And after this botanist's extreme improvements, these fruits grown from corpses will also have various negative effects.

Cheng Shen twisted a red fruit growing on the end of a vine in front of him.

【Red tomatoes】

【Props】

[Level: Excellent]

[Explanation: The fruit formed after absorbing the essence of flesh and blood can permanently increase the upper limit of blood volume by 500 points, but it will cause itself to be corroded by blood poison, and it will lose 10% of the maximum health value every second, lasting for 11 seconds]

…

The system will only provide Cheng Shen with the most intuitive item attributes.

Actually.

This fruit is still an original species.

As long as it is planted in an environment suitable for growth, the fruit will produce new tomato vines. If cultivated properly, it can be reproduced from generation to generation.

An original species.

It represents a new crop that can be grown in mass production!

Although Cheng Shen's territory now produces a lot of fruit and vegetable crops every day, in fact, only a few of the large amounts of crop seeds he purchased from other survivors can survive in the dark forest environment.

There are only two or three types that can be planted in batches.

And they have not been improved.

Quite unpalatable.

Cheng Shen could certainly give up his pursuit of delicious food in order to survive, but now that he had the opportunity to improve his living conditions, he would definitely not miss it.

now.

There were nearly a hundred original plants placed in front of him!

Although these original fruits are grown in human corpses, they have strong side effects. However, as long as they are improved through several generations of planting, they can gradually turn back into normal crops!

After all, his predecessor was once a member of a foodie empire with a long history of food culture. Cheng Shen's eyes seemed to have begun to picture his favorite foods such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised pork, pickled fish and so on...

The Adam's apple moves involuntarily.

Cheng Shen was not too distracted by his gluttonous desire.

The problem now is how he can transport these primitive species without disturbing the owner of the castle.

Describe the teleportation array...

Although Cheng Shen could draw complete runes without the help of his natural ability, he had already formed a kind of mental memory similar to muscle memory for some commonly used magic runes. But he couldn't do it that smoothly.

By the time he finished carving the teleportation array, the day lilies were already cold.

Staying here, Cheng Shen is worried about being wasted by the castle owner after being found. These fruits have the bonus of being eaten directly.

He doesn't like it.

But it is a big temptation for others.

After much thought, Cheng Shen decided to trouble his close partner again...

He quickly picked all the large and small fruits in the room.

These fruits could not mature so quickly. They need a long time to absorb the essence of the corpse, and most of the fruits will be eaten again by the botanist to increase their strength.

But after Cheng Shen killed the botanist with lightning speed.

The essence in its body feeds back.

It not only accelerates the ripening of fruits, but also makes these fruits contain sufficient active factors.

Even after being picked, it will last for a long time without spoiling.

Finally, Cheng Shen pulled off the fruit that grew on the top of the ancient tree. This fruit was also the most peculiar one. There were dense and slender green branches extending from the surface, as if a sapling had grown out of it.

【Fruit of Life】

【Props】

[Level: Perfect]

[Explanation: It needs to be cultivated with huge blood energy to grow into an ancient tree of life]

…

The introduction of this fruit is only a short line.

Cheng Shen knew that the plant that the botanist synthesized by refining his own flesh and blood was called the Ancient Tree of Life. However, he did not expect that cultivating this sapling would require watering with a large amount of flesh and blood.

If he wasn't such a different person.

The only way for ordinary people to obtain blood energy is by hunting other creatures.

There are very few natural treasures that can replenish blood energy.

"I don't know what the ancient tree of life watered with my blood will be like..."

Cheng Shen knew very well how evil his blood was.

Even though he thought this, he packed up the fruit without hesitation. He took off a large piece of bark from the ancient tree, wrapped it tightly with flexible rattan, made a simple package, and then found it again.

Seaman.

"I said, after you leave the room, there will be no more relations between us..."

Seaman warned in a bad tone.

When he saw the bloated package that Cheng Shen dragged into the laboratory, his mood became even more unstable.

"You dealt with Meila...? What did you bring back!"

"Help me keep it temporarily."

Cheng Shen smiled.

Hearing this, Seaman became furious, "This is not your private warehouse! Take the things away quickly, or I will notify the guards immediately!"

Cheng Shen's expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "You only want me to save the souls of your wife and daughter, or help them to be completely free, but have you ever thought about ending all this completely and making the world normal again?

"

"End all this?" Heman looked at Cheng Shen as if he were looking at a fool. He could naturally tell that Cheng Shen was not joking, but was talking about this possibility seriously, but he still felt that this matter was ridiculous.

"The devil in the Sick Village tortured you into this state of human beings and ghosts, just to generate a lot of negative emotions in your hearts and serve as its food, so that it will continue to grow in strength.

But it's not omnipotent.

In fact, I've already won a battle with it."

Cheng Shen said.

There is no item or evidence on him that can prove this fact. Of course, Seaman will not believe his words easily, but Cheng Shen can appear in front of him so openly and avoid the surveillance of the castle owner.

That already explains some things.

"That one... although we are controlled, experience pain, and are worse than dead, the root cause of this situation does not come from it. It is a terrifying thing that you can't even imagine."

Seaman said dullly.

"I know." Cheng Shen said matter-of-factly, "So after killing that devil, I will leave for that city."

"..."

Ximan looked at Cheng Shen with eyes filled with disbelief. After a long silence, he only came to one conclusion, "You are crazier than me."

Cheng Shen stretched out his finger and shook it slightly. He said directly and unceremoniously: "Although I only live for myself, I will never take the initiative to infringe on other people's rights and lives. Don't confuse me with you."

"You mean these experimental subjects...?"

Seaman was speechless.

"Then you may not know that becoming our experimental subjects is already one of their lucky ones among the countless tragic fates they are destined to have..."

He didn't really defend himself much.

but.

Through these words, he had determined Cheng Shen's ultimate goal.

"You can leave the things here with me, you'd better pick them up as soon as possible before the big search comes.

in addition……

I hope our next meeting will not be on the operating table."

Seaman said with straight eyes, he still felt a little regretful that Cheng Shen was obviously an excellent experimental subject but could not be fully studied.

"You'd better deal with that guy in Puno next time. He has a modified body similar to yours in his laboratory. If you disguise yourself as the modified body and go on a rampage, it will also reduce my exposure threat once discovered."

He later added.

Saying this means that Ximan has completely acknowledged his cooperative relationship with Cheng Shen.

Previously, relying on his status as a senior alchemist, even if he was found to have rescued Cheng Shen, he could avoid being punished by the castle owner, and would even be rewarded for his experimental breakthroughs.

But now.

He was already a grasshopper completely tied to Cheng Shen.

"That's exactly what I meant."

The Puno mentioned by Seaman is the owner of Laboratory No. 5 and Cheng Shen's next target.

After properly placing all the original fruit seeds, he started taking action again.

Number five.

Number one.

In the meantime, Cheng Shen also easily dealt with the alarmed Alchemist No. 6.

The process was all smooth.

Most of these alchemists have devoted their entire lives to scientific research, and their own combat abilities are extremely poor.

And the alchemy puppet they relied on had another fatal flaw.

Mental protection is weak.

The souls used to control alchemy puppets are not that strong.

Firstly, it is because powerful soul bodies are difficult to capture, and alchemy puppets mainly rely on physical methods to fight. Even if there are magical attacks, they are stimulated through the magic patterns carved in the body.

The need for mental strength is not high.

There is no need to increase the cost of refining.

Furthermore, a weak soul body is more conducive to the alchemist's control and avoids being killed and replaced by puppets during the refining process.

Alchemist No. 9 is a vivid example.

Therefore, when facing an alchemy puppet no matter how powerful it is, Cheng Shen can often disintegrate it from the inside with just one soul blast.

If one note is not enough.

Then fire a few more rounds.

The state of spiritual soaring in Level 8 Blue Whale Meditation lasts for a full twelve hours.

During this period of time, Cheng Shen's spiritual energy will never be exhausted!

Click.

The two strange-shaped keys in his hand were closed together and turned into an oval-shaped silver disk. The disk was covered with patterns symbolizing the power of wind and thunder, and a god who controlled thunder and lightning was also depicted in the middle.

However, there is still a small piece missing from the god's chest.

There are three parts to the key.

The alchemists in laboratories No. 1 and 5 each hold one copy, and the other key is in the hands of the silver-winged priest Cheng Shen met before.

Three keys gathered together,

Only then can the door to Laboratory Zero be opened.

According to Seaman, the door to Laboratory Zero has only been opened three times in the decades since he arrived here.

And these three times were all when the deification experiment achieved great results.

However, every time Laboratory Zero is opened, their relevant memories will be forcibly cleared.

So even he didn't know what secrets were hidden in that laboratory.

Moreover, the location of Laboratory Zero is not here either.

But underground.

It has the same level of confidentiality as the castle master's room on the top floor.

"It seems we can only force our way in."

Cheng Shen murmured.

The only good news he learned from He-Man was that in this castle, except for the mysterious owner of the castle who had never really shown his face, the only high-level unit was the Silver Winged Priest.

But even that birdman.

He is also a lord-level being whose realm completely overwhelms Cheng Shen's body.

"So we need to use some special means..."

Bo.

He uncorked a dark green medicine bottle.

A thick green mist suddenly surged out of it, but after dispersing into the air, it quickly became colorless and invisible.

Cheng Shen felt that the remaining flesh and blood on his face immediately began to become numb and he lost consciousness.

This was a highly toxic poison he had plundered from the room of an alchemist who was proficient in poisons. It was quite poisonous, which meant that his current body structure did not require breathing to survive, otherwise he would have died suddenly on the spot!

The wind blows...

Cheng Shen expertly sketched out a wind elemental talisman. This was just an apprentice-level talisman and did not have the abnormal attribute bonus of his original body.

The effect is quite weak.

It is roughly equivalent to the wind blowing from a household electric fan at one speed.

But it is used to change the direction of air flow in the castle.

It's enough.

Along the half-open metal door, colorless and odorless poisonous gas slowly evaporated out of the corridor.

Two silver-armored guards were already approaching, holding artifacts and preparing for today's acceptance inspection.

The poisonous wind blew.

Their pace did not slow down at all.

Cheng Shen immediately understood that most of the guards in this castle were puppets who had been deified and transformed like him.

But it doesn't matter.

At this time, another of his advantages will come into play.

Soul impact!

After he walked out of the door first, by the time the two silver-armored guards reacted, the giant hammer condensed with mental power had suddenly blasted out!

Bang!

An invisible force dented a large piece of their chest armor. The two silver-armored guards froze on the spot motionless, and their bright red eyes, as bright as needles, instantly dissipated.

Boom...!

Cheng Shen felt that the thunderclouds above his head were stirring, and he couldn't help but tighten the silver robe around him. Seaman said that the greatest function of this robe was to avoid the ubiquitous spiritual perception of the castle owner.

at the moment.

He can only hope that its effect will be fully realized.

Walking quickly, the castle counterattacked faster than he imagined when it encountered an invasion. As soon as Cheng Shen walked out of the corner of the corridor on the left, a group of silver-armored guards gathered opposite him.

Soul impact!

Cheng Shen relied on the 450 points of mana recovery per second boosted by Spiritual Travel to decisively unleash his skills.

Then I heard a loud crash.

Before this group of silver-armored guards could get close to him, they were scattered into metal parts on the ground!
