Chapter 19 The City Collapsed
Chapter 19 The City Collapsed
At level 2, Tom Cruise has 600 health points and 30 attack power, and he also appears to be a bit taller.
He came to report back carrying the bright silver hammer. After studying it for a while, Liu Huasheng discovered that Tom Cruise did not gain experience by attacking the unarmed lumber camp, but he gained a considerable amount of experience by attacking the defensive tower.
At this moment, Wang Shuaibo also ran happily to Liu Huasheng's side. He had already bitten 10 laborers to death, and the remaining 10 had crawled into the logging camp. The logging camp was within the range of the castle's arrow towers, so he dared not attack.
"Big Brother, let Hammer Bro keep going! Smash the whole logging camp to pieces! Those loggers are too cunning; they can squeeze inside!"
Wang Shuaibo said excitedly.
Liu Huasheng said, "No rush. You stay here and patrol and defend. Tom will go and attack the castle directly. Once the castle is destroyed and the defensive towers are gone, Wang Shuaibo can dismantle the lumberyard himself!"
Tom Cruise nodded in agreement, picked up his gleaming silver hammer, and set off again, heading straight for Hua Xiaolan's Chaos City, where he quickly launched an attack.
"-15!"
"-15..."
Damage numbers appeared above the castle.
This castle incorporates four basic arrow towers and has 14000 durability points. Given Tom Cruise's current siege efficiency, he could actually deplete its durability in less than 16 minutes.
Wang Shuaibo craned his neck to look for a moment, then said to Liu Huasheng, "Brother, you're awesome! I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, starting to conquer people's castles already!"
"Either do nothing, or do it ruthlessly!" Liu Huasheng pointed to the area below the high ground. "Go patrol. If you encounter the lord of this place, don't waste words, be ruthless, just bite him to death!"
Wang Shuaibo shrank his neck, thinking to himself that this guy was really ruthless, but he obeyed and scurried down to the high ground to hide.
Meanwhile, Hua Xiaolan was still forcing a smile next to Ma Xianlong.
She was already planning how to make Ma Xianlong completely submissive. She had a preliminary idea: to find another powerful male player and then waver between the two men to put some pressure on Ma Xianlong, so that he would try even harder to please her!
Its game assistant, the black horse, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, repeatedly saying, "Master, hurry back to defend! Our base has been raided!"
Hua Xiaolan said nonchalantly, "I know, no need to keep urging me. Stealing from my house won't be that easy!"
"But……"
"No buts, just be quiet!"
Hua Xiaolan said somewhat impatiently, actually she didn't believe that players nowadays had siege capabilities at all. Even if this Ma Xianlong had siege engines, it would be difficult for him to demolish a castle.
Moreover, they have eight basic arrow towers, making their defensive firepower even stronger.
The black horse was obedient, holding its tongue for several minutes before finally bursting out with a "ding," saying, "Warning: Your Chaos City's durability has dropped below 20%. Please formulate a defensive strategy as soon as possible. Once your Chaos City's durability is depleted, you will lose your status as a Tower Defense Lord and be forced to become a Wild Monster!"
"What?"
Hua Xiaolan was struck dumb upon hearing this, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Ma Xianlong, who was standing nearby, also heard this. He frowned deeply and asked, "What happened? Was our house really broken into? Who did it?"
The black horse ignored him and only asked Hua Xiaolan, "Master, what are your thoughts now?"
"I, I, I..."
Hua Xiaolan panicked, her mind was a complete mess, she didn't know what to do or what to say.
The black horse shook its head in disappointment and said, "Master, our fate is coming to an end. It's a pity I didn't get to see you gain any sycophants. I hope you won't lack sycophants in your next life. I'm returning to the city, and I hope I can see the castle one last time!"
Having said that, the black horse reared up and galloped down the hillside.
"Is this really the end?"
Hua Xiaolan realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him. Then, less than three minutes later, she felt a white light appear before her eyes.
"Oh no, the castle is destroyed! I need to switch to a monster class!"
Hua Xiaolan was on the verge of tears. At this moment, she couldn't care less about anything else. She immediately opened her storage space and took out a scroll, which was: [Advanced Monster Job Change Scroll]!
"Xiao Lan, remember this: if you absolutely have to switch to a monster class, use this scroll. It might open up a whole new world for you!"
Hua Xiaolan remembered her father's instructions and resolutely unrolled the scroll in her hand.
The next moment, Hua Xiaolan's vision went black, but the darkness was only momentary, and her vision quickly brightened again.
She found herself in a strange palace, filled with statues of dogs with human heads and burning candles on the walls.
"Ding! Player Hua Xiaolan, you have been promoted to the special monster [Kobold Princess]. You are now a LV1 Kobold Princess with nine skills: [Digging], [Laying Eggs], [Stealth], [Dark Vision], [Dragon Affinity], [Earth Power], [Clan Worship], [Commander Aura], and [Gang Leader]!"
You are the darling of the earth, the last royal descendant of the kobolds. Your beauty captivates all kobolds, your bloodline grants the favor of dragons, you are the most intelligent kobold, you are a unique monster, you possess darkvision, and you excel at underground work…
Prompt: You awaken in the lost underground temple of the kobolds, burdened with the mission of reviving kobold civilization. You have automatically received the quest "Light of the Kobolds." Your status allows you to recruit kobold monsters; perhaps you can try to build a kobold army and vie for control of Lostanp with the tower defense lords of the four corners of the land!
"Huh? The dog-headed princess? Skilled in underground activities?"
Hua Xiaolan slowly examined herself. She was now in the form of a dog-headed person, with deformed hands and feet, long blue hair on her head, extremely long eyelashes, and an animal skin skirt around her waist that seemed to be attached to her body.
"I don't want to be a monster..."
Hua Xiaolan cried out in pain, but then she thought that this time she probably wouldn't lack sycophants. So, she gradually felt comfortable again, and even had the ambition to dominate the world.
At this very moment, Liu Huasheng witnessed the collapse of Chaos City. The enormous castle, with its durability completely depleted, collapsed within three seconds and then vanished in a flash of light.
But two red-eyed porcupine statues, each the size of a football, were left behind.
The statue appears to be made of plastic, like a figurine. There are six-pointed star patterns under the feet of the two porcupines, and the patterns are exactly the same as the teleportation array under the feet of the parkour bear.
Liu Huasheng stepped forward curiously to examine them and discovered that they were two [Bloodthirsty Porcupine Dolls], currently unclaimed and available for pickup.
【Bloodthirsty Porcupine Doll: A special item that can be integrated into the city center for display. Once you have it, you can use the strategic map to summon a Tier 3 Bloodthirsty Porcupine to infiltrate the monster army when monsters invade.
The Bloodthirsty Porcupine is an aggressive jungle monster with 1200 health and 46 attack power. In its Bloodthirsty state, its attack speed is 1.0. Dedicated to destruction, it will actively attack defensive structures such as towers, as well as living units like players. If the Bloodthirsty Porcupine dies in battle, it will not affect its next summon. If the Bloodthirsty Porcupine survives, it will restore 3 health points to the player who summons it.
"Hey, there's an unexpected surprise!"
Liu Huasheng immediately put away the two bloodthirsty porcupine plush toys, feeling quite pleased with himself!
At this point, Tom Cruise, without Liu Huasheng's orders, continued to attack the half of the city wall on the high ground.
Liu Huasheng discovered that the logging camp behind them was still there, and migrant workers were emerging from it. These migrant workers were now all homeless vagrants.
A moment later, Liu Huasheng took in these laborers as well, a total of 10. However, he needed to build enough houses in his own Chaos City as soon as possible, otherwise these laborers would not be considered subjects, and they would not be able to collect gold coins and wood.
