Tower Defense Game: My Kingdom of Eternal Life

"call……"

Cheng Shen and Goviya held their breath and moved forward slowly.

In the fog, groups of lost people hurried past with their limbs entangled in various weird postures. This is a strange phenomenon caused by their characteristics that once they come into contact with the target, they will never be separated.

They form one bloated fusion body after another, like scavengers in the fog, devouring all life in their path.

besides.

The scream of the human face flower also attracted a lot of messy things.

winter!

winter!

The white urn danced in the mist, making a loud noise every time it hit the ground; the fracture was rotten and dark, and a giant hand as big as a round tabletop was crawling on the ground with its five curved fingers;

There is also a giant fish monster with a pair of transparent wings, shriveled flesh and blood, floating and moving, and a strange light shining in its turbid white eyes;

The horror and weirdness of nightmares.

At this moment, everything appeared in the eyes of Cheng Shen and Goviya.

He also saw something familiar among the unspeakable horrors...

vampire?

Werewolf?

sheep?

What's so scary about these things...

No, they correspond to a certain person's psychology, or are shaped by the background of some special times, and will indeed become the shadow of a generation.

Cheng Shen even saw zombies.

That's right.

The kind that wears ancient official robes and has green faces and fangs jumping around...

He has already guessed that this nightmare space probably reflects some of the most feared things in everyone's hearts in this world. It is not limited to monsters, but also many abstract, strange and unexplainable existences.

This couldn't help but cause Cheng Shen to think deeply.

What...is he afraid of?

If the only thing he was afraid of before coming to the game world, it might have been Ah Piao. But after mastering extraordinary power, he learned that ghosts are just a condensation of spirit and soul, and can also be killed.

As for the more terrifying weirdness.

The more you understand, the more you can face it calmly.

Cheng Shen was curious about how the fear in his heart would manifest itself in this space...

"It's almost..."

After finally escaping from the area surrounded by monsters, Govia winked at Cheng Shen repeatedly.

Cheng Shen checked the surroundings to make sure there were no monsters, and then put the package down. The huge flower package no longer screamed at this moment, and the dark lines condensed in the bright petals showed an unstable illusion.

"A cut in half?"

Cheng Shen was a little hesitant while holding the knife.

The most precious part of the human face flower is the top flower bag, and the second most valuable part is its blood. But the flower bag is precious because of its integrity. If the flower bag is broken, its value and preservation time will be greatly shortened.

"Wait until you catch the next one and give it to me."

Goviya's generous proposal helped him solve this problem.

"That's fine."

Cheng Shen nodded.

The previous hunting attempt also made him understand the effect of ointment on human face flowers. Use the remaining ointment sparingly, and if everything goes well, he should still be able to catch seven or eight human face flowers.

It's definitely not that easy to complete Yunus' mission in one day.

He looked at the human face flower in front of him. After hesitation, he reached out and plucked off a petal. The bright red petals quickly faded away from the flower bag and became dull and shriveled. Cheng Shen threw it into his mouth and chewed it quickly.

"hiss……"

There was an immediate sting in his mouth, and the strong corrosiveness of the human face flower made him feel like he was chewing a bunch of thorns with a fishy smell.

Govia was stunned.

"That's not how it works..."

She tried to explain the function of the human face flower to Cheng Shen, but when she thought that he knew the environment better than she did, she immediately shut up and looked at Cheng Shen expectantly, hoping that he could bring a new surprise.

"Gu...!"

It took a lot of effort for Cheng Shen to swallow the chew mixed with his own blood. He felt a burning sensation along his esophagus, all the way down, and into his stomach.

He frowned and endured the pain.

After a while.

A complex information suddenly emerged in his memory.

"The medicinal properties of human face flower..."

Done!

Cheng Shen's face relaxed.

The passive skills of the life profession can still take effect, which makes him feel a little surprised.

And this also made him certain of one thing.

This nightmare world is not a fictional space that exists in his consciousness, but is indeed a deep space puzzle belonging to the main world. The power of the system is not ineffective, but is blocked by other forces.

But obviously its shielding is not very complete...

All the information about the special monster of the human-faced flower appeared in Cheng Shen's mind. He thought about it for a moment, then turned to look at Govia, "No one among the nightmare residents fully understands the growth characteristics of the human-faced flower, right?"

"Not everyone can deal with such a terrifying thing..." Goviya said halfway before explaining in detail: "Except for Yunus, the human face flower is not of high value to others, and the risks are not proportional to the rewards."

"But this is only what I know."

She said rigorously.

"That's good."

Cheng Shen rewrapped the flower bag on the ground and said, "I'll take you somewhere, maybe you can get something unexpected." Although he was asking for advice, in fact Goviya had no other choice.

"The Sword Comes"

After making some identification in the vast fog, Cheng Shen took Govia and began to move in one direction.

The visibility in the fog is about thirty to forty meters.

This distance was enough for the two of them to detect danger and avoid it in advance. Govia's experience in exploring the fog was much richer than what she introduced, which helped a lot.

Especially at such an important moment related to her life and death...

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

After wandering aimlessly for half an hour, Govia finally couldn't help but ask.

Cheng Shen squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, put it between his nose and smelled the smell, and then dug down again. A dark red color soon appeared in the gray-yellow soil.

"Soon."

He wiped the dirt off his hands, nodded imperceptibly and said.

It's been so long.

The surrounding environment has changed a lot.

From the plains at the beginning, low shrubs half as tall as a man can be seen everywhere, but these vegetations have been eroded by the power of nightmare, growing twisted and deformed, blackened and dry, like burnt corpses.

The color of the ground soil gradually becomes darker.

Moreover, Govia was keenly aware that the surrounding terrain was constantly rising. It was not obvious at first, but when the two of them climbed over the boundary between the gray and dark red strata, the front suddenly became steeper.

Stone pillars with uneven surfaces stand on the ground, like twisted human bodies, and dark red vines are like the blood vessels of the earth, intricate, spreading and intertwined, and can be seen everywhere.

Rumble…

Govia was shocked to see two human-faced flowers entangled with each other and rolling down not far away.

Like...

Two wild cubs playing.

"us……"

Govia tried to say something to ease the shock in her heart.

"Shh..."

Cheng Shen immediately made a gesture of silence. He lowered his voice and said, "This is the nest where the human-faced flowers grow. We will set up traps here to attract them to kill them. We should have no problem getting the remaining quantity within one day."

"Human Face Flower has a nest?!"

Govia's eyes widened.

"Otherwise, do you think they popped out of the rocks?"

Cheng Shen gave her a strange look.

Say it.

He stepped back and hid the flower bag of the human face flower from before.

This thing is as big as a washbasin and weighs more than ten kilograms, making it very inconvenient to carry around.

Then Cheng Shen continued to set food traps in the same way as before.

He winked at Govia and said, "You are still responsible for attracting the monster. Be careful not to touch those red veins. They are the reproductive rhizomes of Kao. If you wake it up, neither of us can escape."

After Govia heard this, her already hesitant expression became even more hesitant. She rubbed her hands and said, "You know this place so well, why don't you change your job..."

"My back hurts so much...it hurts so much that I can't move..."

Her expression changed.

"I'm going to save my strength and run away with you."

Cheng Shendan decided.

"you……"

His high-sounding reasons made Goviya unable to refute, so he could only grit his teeth secretly and leave as if resigned to his fate. After Cheng Shen set up the bait trap, he looked at her back, his eyes so calm that he didn't know what he was thinking.

…

"Coming!"

The panting Goviya once again lured a human-faced flower to the food trap. Cheng Shen had already laid an ambush aside. When the human-faced flower had swallowed the ointment and fell into a coma, he immediately jumped out and chopped off the flower with a knife.

break.

Phew!

Black juice sprayed on the ground, corroding the ground, revealing a piece of white bones.

Cheng Shen skillfully put the flower package into a net bag woven from thorn rhizomes, and counted it with his eyes.

"twenty four."

"That's almost it!"

Goviya was panting beside her. Her hair on her temples was wet with sweat and was messy and fluttering. Her plain white and thin dress was also soaked and clung to her skin, revealing her thin figure.

But Cheng Shen was not interested in peeking at her shriveled body that had been malnourished for a long time, and nodded, "That's enough."

He cut two rhizomes from the body of the human face flower, inserted them into the net bag, sealed the opening, and then tugged hard on the handle wrapped with cloth strips to ease the bag of nearly three hundred kilograms of trophies.

Drag slowly.

Creak...

Several irregularly shaped boulders rotated at the bottom of the carriage woven with thorn roots, greatly reducing Cheng Shen's burden.

While Govia was busy attracting monsters, he was certainly not idle either. This simple trailer was the result of his labor.

Otherwise, no matter how much loot you harvest, it will still be a problem if you can't take it back with you.

"Is this the end?"

Govia took a deep breath.

"Well, let me help you find herbs first."

Cheng Shen said.

Govia didn't seem to care about her life at this time. He turned his head to the jagged and strange stone forest unwillingly and said: "Didn't you say that there might be unexpected gains? Didn't you plan to take it all to yourself?"

Cheng Shen glanced at her and said in a neither happy nor angry tone: "The sleeping ointment has been used up. If you want to use your own life to lure that King of Flowers out and fulfill my wish, of course it is not impossible."

Govia ignored his taunt.

asked:

"What's in the lair?"

"have no idea."

"Oh, stingy!"

Govia naturally wouldn't believe what he said, but he didn't want to miss out on this benefit, so he quickly said: "Then let's continue our cooperation tomorrow! If you can satisfy me, I will consider telling you who the real ghost is!"

"..."

Cheng Shen turned his head and looked at her with a calm expression. His cold eyes made Goviya's heart beat wildly, and a sharp blade quietly slipped into the palm of his hand.

Only then did she see Cheng Shen nod slowly.

"good."

Govia only thought that Cheng Shen was reminding them of their true relationship. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he wanted to smile awkwardly, but he suppressed it.

The scene fell into silence.

Cheng Shen took out the lump of soil from the town and felt it in his hands. He dragged the cart with his shoulders and listened to the rough bearings making an overwhelmed creaking sound.

On the road.

He followed the pre-marked spots and picked out several useful herbs.

The coldness radiating from the soil in the palm of my hand was already very strong.

mean.

They were getting closer and closer to the town.

"It turns out you've planned it all!"

Goviya watched Cheng Shen pick the herbs one by one. Some of the herbs had already been seen by the two of them when they came, but Cheng Shen deliberately didn't pick them, just to force her to cooperate in catching the human face flower. He couldn't help but secretly cursed at her cruelty.

.

Cheng Shen ignored her and carefully identified the road in front of him, trying to walk on a flat area to avoid damaging the trailer.

As long as we can return to the town, the mission of this trailer will be accomplished.

call!

Thick fog is gradually rising all around.

From the moment the change occurred to the moment the two realized something was wrong, in less than a second, the thick fog had already compressed the field of vision to two meters in front of them.

"What's going on!?"

Govia became alert and quickly moved closer to Cheng Shen. After this series of changes, Cheng Shen's stable and reliable image had been deeply ingrained in her heart, so much so that she subconsciously made a choice when faced with danger.

"I should ask you this..."

Cheng Shen let go of the trailer, held the Nightmare Blade in his hand, and reached into his arms with his other hand to take out a paper bag.

"Didn't you say that the ointment has been used up!?"

Govia glared at him.

"You're talking too much nonsense."

Cheng Shen glanced at her, leaving a pack of ointment as a backup in case something unexpected happened on the way back. Isn't it a normal choice? He still preferred Govia's unruly attitude at the beginning and his ability to calmly judge things.

"Every man's words are indeed a lie! No, they are a liar!"

Goviya gritted his teeth and said.

"Shh..."

Cheng Shen asked her to be quiet. Changes in the surroundings had begun to appear. The thick fog suddenly surged in and completely engulfed the two of them. Then, it quickly and strangely subsided. However, the surrounding environment had undergone earth-shaking changes.

I don't know when the feet were paved with neat stone bricks, and fragments of moss-covered broken walls appeared on the originally empty plain.

There was a whisper in the ear, and there seemed to be countless figures walking around in the mist outside the field of vision. The shadowy scene was like a hazy curtain, making people feel like they were in another world, but also seemed to be in it.

Govia has already thought of something.

His face suddenly turned pale.

"Fog mirage!"

She didn't have any information about the foggy mirage. That's why the most terrifying threat in the foggy area is so scary. No one who has experienced the foggy mirage can get out alive!
