Chapter 10 Ranking Challenge
Chapter 10 Ranking Challenge
Soon, Wang Shuaibo arrived at the foot of the high ground, where he saw countless monsters charging towards it.
Those monsters were all level one monsters, including mayflies, hydralisks, evil pupae, swift dogs, and cave spiders, and there were a lot of them!
"What's going on?!"
Wang Shuaibo was surprised. Looking up at the high ground, he immediately saw a basic arrow tower whose height, attack power, and speed were obviously wrong, as well as a towering castle with five spires behind it!
"Something's not right. These basic arrow towers are weird. How can their attack speed be so fast? They can probably fire two arrows per second, and their attack power is also very high! That castle must be Chaos City. It really can fuse defensive towers as rumored. Holy crap, it can even fire black lasers from top of it. That's outrageous..."
As Wang Shuaibo was muttering to himself, a flash of light suddenly appeared above Chaos City, followed by countless sharp arrows that rained down on the earth like a storm.
A hail of arrows rained down, washing the ground!
A burst of white light erupted from the ground, instantly wiping out countless monsters!
"Holy crap, this is cheating! What kind of defensive tower is this awesome! Is the lord player here some young master from a noble family, or a prince from some empire, already having a god-tier tower from the very beginning..."
Wang Shuaibo shrank back, immediately abandoning the idea of invading this territory. He turned back immediately, thinking to himself that this unscrupulous merchant was a bit too strong, and he couldn't avenge his great grudge for the time being.
But at that moment, a black light suddenly fell on Wang Shuaibo, rendering him unable to move.
At the same time, four little black figures suddenly jumped out from the Death Tower that had merged into Chaos City.
The four little black figures had no faces, were dressed in black tuxedos, and were carrying a coffin.
They were incredibly fast, quickly running down the hill and heading straight for Wang Shuaibo.
Wang Shuaibo was stunned. He couldn't move and was very anxious as he watched the four little black figures rushing towards him.
"Hey, you four black guys, what are you doing? Don't arrest me! I don't know anything! I just came to watch the show, I didn't do anything wrong. Holy crap, why are they using a coffin? Let me go! Holy crap..."
Wang Shuaibo's shouting was of no use. The four little black men simply and efficiently put him into the coffin and carried him away.
Liu Huasheng was in the second-floor city defense hall of Chaos City. He was too far away to see Wang Shuaibo being captured. When he saw four little black men carrying a coffin back, he didn't think much of it and assumed that they had captured a monster and were bringing it back for burial!
He continued to observe as the four little black men carrying the coffin jogged all the way into Chaos City.
Curious, Liu Huasheng ran down to watch and saw four little black people digging a pit and burying a coffin in the center of town. They sang and danced for a while before disappearing in a flash of light, just like a professional funeral team!
"Chaos City merged with the Tower of Death, so they just buried the mobs in the city square? Amazing!"
Seeing that things had come to this, Liu Huasheng could only shake his head and sigh. He returned to the city defense hall and continued to keep an eye on the other monsters below.
In fact, the difficulty of this ranking challenge has exceeded Liu Huasheng's expectations. There are just too many Zerg minions, truly deserving of the name "great army".
If he hadn't used the volley of arrows, more than a hundred insectoid monsters would have entered his Chaos City in an instant.
"For an average player, they probably wouldn't even last two minutes in this ranking challenge!"
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself.
After clearing out a large wave of level 1 monsters, level 1 monsters continued to appear continuously below the high ground.
The Tier 2 basic arrow tower standing at the crossroads of the high ground can easily clear out all these monsters, killing them even faster than they respawn!
Of course, the Death Tower, which has been integrated into Chaos City, is also killing enemies. Its death ray can instantly kill any level one monster, but its attack speed is too slow.
Five minutes later, the Killing Arrow Tower completed 1,000 kills and grew again, with its attack speed increasing to 2.5 and its durability increasing to 5000. Its killing efficiency increased again, and the next growth will require 2000 kills!
At that moment, the donkey announced to Liu Huasheng: "Ten thousand Zerg minions have been wiped out. The ranking challenge has entered its second phase. 1000 level-two Red Helmet Zerg are about to appear!"
"Phase Two!"
Liu Huasheng stood on tiptoe to get a better look and soon spotted the Red Helmet Beetle. It was a giant beetle with a red shell, resembling a motorcycle helmet in appearance and size. It had a maximum of 100 health points and moved relatively slowly, taking about one second to kill.
"Good heavens, a thousand red helmet beetles, that's ruthless!"
Liu Huasheng silently calculated that, theoretically, the Killing Arrow Tower with an attack speed of 2.5 would need 5 arrows to kill a Red Helmet Bug, which means it could eliminate one every two seconds.
A red helmet beetle can spawn approximately once per second.
Relying solely on those second-tier arrows was still insufficient in terms of firepower.
Soon, Liu Huasheng finally saw the effect of the sorcery shot: a red helmeted worm was shot into a lamb by an arrow!
The little lamb was only the size of a basketball, and it was dazed and slow-moving, feeling like it was swimming on flat ground.
The Hex Tower's attacks are also quite intelligent; once the Red Helmet Bug is transformed, it immediately switches its attack target to ensure even coverage.
The trigger probability of that sorcery transformation is almost 100%, and the duration of the transformation is also extremely long.
In short, a few moments later, a large number of small animals transformed from red helmet insects gathered below Chaos City, including little sheep, little frogs, little turtles, little mice, and so on.
They move in slow motion collectively, their movements aimless.
Liu Huasheng marveled at the power of the demonic transformation technique. He had transformed the golem arrow towers into defensive towers, and with the addition of the killing arrow towers, the firepower was equivalent to thirteen basic arrow towers. Not a single red helmet beetle escaped, and they were all killed in front of Chaos City.
Donkey Chasing the Wind reports again: "1000 level-two Red Helmet Beetles have been wiped out. The ranking challenge has entered its third stage, and 300 level-three Fire Salamanders are about to appear!"
"Axolotl!"
Liu Huasheng stood on tiptoe in the city defense hall and quickly spotted the level three fire salamander.
This monster is three meters long, its body is on fire, it has a health value of 500, it crawls on all fours, and its speed is average.
The Killing Arrow Towers fired arrows in rapid succession, but the firepower was clearly insufficient. The trigger rate of the Demon Mountain Arrow Towers' Demonic Transformation spell was also significantly reduced. Sometimes it took three or four arrows to transform a Fire Salamander, and the transformation lasted for less than ten seconds.
"This wave of monsters got leaked!"
Liu Huasheng thought to himself that with his defensive tower configuration, it was still too difficult to withstand level 3 monsters.
In the end, even with such a powerful control tower as the Spell Arrow Tower, a total of 98 fire salamanders still managed to storm into Chaos City.
The donkey continued broadcasting: "The third stage of the ranking challenge has ended, and we are now entering the fourth stage. 100 Tier 4 Poisonous Locusts are about to appear!"
"If two more monsters successfully invade, this ranking challenge will be over. Tsk tsk, I guess I've barely made it into the fourth stage!"
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself.
Soon, he saw the poison locusts. The hundred poison locusts appeared at the same time. They were flying monsters, flying through the sky like a swarm of helicopters, making a deafening buzzing sound. Their health was as high as 1800. After approaching Chaos City, they accelerated and swooped down towards the entrance.
Faced with such a powerful monster, even the Killing Arrow Tower couldn't kill it. Relying on his sorcery to transform, Liu Huasheng finally managed to kill two Poison Locusts before the ranking challenge came to an end!
"Ding! The number of invading monsters has reached 100. The ranking challenge has ended..."
The donkey began its system announcement: "A total of 11204 Zerg warriors have been killed in this challenge, bringing your progress to 2% of stage four. Your Star Sea ranking will be generated tomorrow, so stay tuned!"
Liu Huasheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally over. I wonder what the rankings are. I doubt most players could achieve this result."
Liu Huasheng is quite confident in his ranking.
