Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 238 Revisiting the Ruins
The black iron plate wrapped in spiritual power exudes an ominous atmosphere.

Like a hot potato.

Cheng Shen didn't touch it, and held it far away in the air, his eyes swept over it quickly.This iron plate is about the width of a palm, with a blade on the edge, like a broken sword, and the dark material is still stained with dark red blood.

[Shattered Exile Commander's Long Sword ③]

【tool】

[Level: Normal]

[Explanation: One of the fragments of a long sword. When you hold this fragment, you can sense the existence of other fragments within a certain range. After collecting all the fragments, you can recast it into a complete weapon by forging】

……

"An ordinary weapon fragment, but for some reason it is contaminated with a strange power."

Cheng Shen speculated in his heart about the possible deep meaning behind this item.

However, although this fragment was tainted with a strange aura, it was not at the same level as the few cursed items he had mastered. If the cursed item was a purely weird item, it could only be regarded as an imitation at best.

And the power of increase is limited.

Negative but huge.

No normal person would use such a weapon.

unless.

Its original owner, like the guy just now, has been eroded by weirdness, but he is not dead yet.

In this way, the items he carries with him will be contaminated with a strange atmosphere.

But this level of influence is not enough to taint an ordinary item into a truly cursed item.

therefore.

Even if it is assembled and recast, it is only equivalent to an ordinary weapon.

So, why did that weird person deliberately throw it here?

Cheng Shen checked the attribute description of this fragment again.

"It wants me to collect the fragments of this weapon?

Or rather.

It is providing a positioning function for a certain existence that has mastered other broken sword fragments! ? "

The second thought made Cheng Shen's heart skip a beat.

Think about it.

He couldn't think of the other party's reason for doing so.

Now that the weirdo has been able to find his location accurately, and the existence behind it, there is no reason why he can't find himself, and there is no need to go through such a troublesome way at all...

So the former is more likely.

"But how can it be sure that I will be able to get this weapon together?"

Cheng Shen was very puzzled.

Suddenly.

He suddenly opened the map around the territory.

On the pitch-black map, only the locations near his territory were lit up.This map is called Dark Forest, and he has only unlocked one-seventh of the map fragments.

And there are four other forces in this area.

gargoyle land,
Forgotten Mine,
bloodthirsty castle,
exile village.

Cheng Shen, the land of gargoyles among the four power points, has been half explored, but the key temple buildings have not been excavated, and the sealing formation in the core area has not been opened, so there is no sign of occupation.

At this time, Cheng Shen looked directly at the last point of influence. The same prefix made him doubt the connection between the two.

"Maybe it's trying to direct me there."

Cheng Shen guessed the purpose of the weirdo.

Followed by.

He noticed another thing that had been overlooked before.

It was seen that these four power points were connected in a crooked line on one-seventh of the map, and the distances were gradually extended.

And the direction the last exile village is pointing...

It is the old city!
moment.

Cheng Shen figured everything out like an electric shock in his mind.

"It is guiding me into the old city!... It can also be regarded as a threat! The existence in the old city who watched me, although it gave me half a month, its layout has already begun Already!"

Cheng Shen was terrified.

He didn't know what disaster would happen if he didn't arrive in the old city within half a month, but the strange man who was corrupted by the weirdness just now and the short sword it left on purpose had already proved one thing to him.

There may be controllable and weird existences in the old city!
Like,

It was the same as Aoki back then.

Cheng Shen has always been quite afraid of such a heterogeneous coexistence.

If it's just weird, even if it's a horror like Tenant No. [-] and the curse of the deep sea, as long as you can find a way to deal with it, you can also avoid it through the law of the spread of the curse!Because weirdness doesn't know how to think!

But once Weird is controlled by a creature with high intelligence.

The horror it can create will be far more than that, and its attack methods will no longer be restricted by the law of transmission.

Unlimited shots!

Aoki has already confirmed this to him!

He can control the strange power in his body at the cost of deepening erosion, and attack any target!At this moment, Cheng Shen fully realized what kind of disaster it would be to be targeted by the existence in the old city!
"Fifteen days...

Judging from this matter, the other party's patience didn't seem to be that long. "

Cheng Shen fell into deep thought.

After a while.

He put away the fragments of the broken sword in front of him.

Although it is not clear what the other party's purpose is, the strange aura on this fragment alone cannot threaten him. Cheng Shen wants to find out what will happen after gathering all the fragments of this weapon.

Subsequently.

He turned and entered the laboratory again.

Sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood. Before exploring the four power points, Cheng Shen wanted to thoroughly understand the science of potions, so that he could create another kind of enhancement in addition to the science of talismans and formations he had mastered. means.

……

The change of the hour cannot be seen in the dark leaden cloud-shrouded sky.

The only thing that keeps track of time is the system.

Three in the afternoon.

Cheng Shen walked out of the laboratory.

The trade fair that was originally scheduled to be held today has already started, but because he opened the dungeon ahead of time and harvested a large amount of gold coins from the survivors, this trade fair could not replicate the grand occasion of last time.

However, the overall income has more than doubled as last time.

After a brief inspection, Cheng Shen signed and revised several development plans and trade trends submitted by Amy.

Subsequently.

Then organize the troops.

Once again came to the stronghold of the Gargoyle Land.

After a few days, the monsters in the temple ruins have been refreshed, but they can't stop the iron-blooded soldiers whose level and equipment have been greatly improved. After a steady and orderly battle, the map is cleared.

Cheng Shen walked directly to the cemetery behind the ruins.

Darkness pervades.

A strong evil aura rises from every ancient tombstone.

Cheng Shen casually applied a few shields of holy light to himself, and then his eyes turned red, and the formation in front of him was immediately restored to its essence. After observing for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and shot a blood coagulation arrow.

Bang!
Blood light blooms in the darkness.

The broken tombstone was instantly blown to pieces, and a large amount of soil was thrown up along with the ground, revealing a corpse that had rotted into dry bones.

The clothing on the corpse has not completely decayed.

As can be seen.

It is a kind of sacrificial clothing with ancient worship style.

He folded his hands in front of his chest, as if holding a non-existent baby, with a totem mask with five-color patterns on his face.

The moment the tombstone was broken.

A strange fishy light suddenly lit up in the eyes under the mask.

Bang!
Followed by.

The monster was smashed to pieces by Cheng Shen's blow from the air.

The mask was shattered in the explosion, and streams of black air were quickly drained from it. In Cheng Shen's vision, he could see that the surrounding array lines were emptied in an instant, and the intensity of the dark array immediately decreased by a few points.

Whoosh!
Cheng Shen quickly shot again.

He searched for the veins of the formation, and accurately found the formation base and the formation eye in the main structure.

Destroy them one by one.

He used the conventional method of breaking the formation's eye to break the formation, not violent cracking, so it did not cause the backlash of the formation.

As one after another the tombstones were smashed to pieces.

The dense dark field that enveloped the cemetery gradually became clear.

A dilapidated cemetery fell into Cheng Shen's eyes, and the formation in the center of the cemetery depicted by thick red stripes was completely exposed.

The nodes of this core formation are clear at a glance.

Those were thirteen blood-red human stakes. Their limbs had been cut off and stood on their feet. They wore a ferocious mask on their faces, and their bodies were wrapped in red shrouds. Blood was continuously flowing from a hole above their heads. .

Wisps of blood energy merged into the formation on the ground, forming blood-red chains, which wrapped around a dark and burly body in the center of the formation.

Whoa!

The chain made a slight shaking sound, and the monster that had been locked in the formation for an unknown period of time was actually still alive. With the disappearance of the outer formation, it raised its huge head, and the fierce flames in its eyes burned as if it had substance!

The shape of this monster is like a black giant with wings.

It is muscular all over, and its tendons bulge out into fist-sized black bumps, which are tightly packed like granite.

His dark blue skin was covered with scars, and there were even broken knives stuck in various parts of his body.

There are three pairs of wings growing on its back, but they are quite weird, with different styles. There are wings like birds, and wings like bats, as if they were forcibly spliced ​​on it through surgery.

The monster's face seemed to be inlaid with a blue mask with bared fangs.

Boom!
It stood up abruptly, and the bloody chains condensed from the human pile were stretched straight, but no matter how the monster separated and struggled, the seemingly slender chains never showed signs of breaking.

"Level 25 leader monster."

Cheng Shen got close enough to see the monster's attributes clearly.

"Roar!"

The monster roared like thunder, but Cheng Shen just reached out and rubbed his ears.

The attributes of this monster were really difficult for him to deal with when he first explored this area, but now, Cheng Shen can even fight against peak lord-level creatures to a tie, and a mere boss monster can no longer pose any threat to him.

Cheng Shen walked forward, completely ignoring the fierce and chaotic eyes of the monster, and seriously studied the sealing formation under it.

He quickly saw the clues.

"Strange, the function of this formation is not only a seal, but also cultivation..."

Cheng Shen murmured.

Subsequently.

He turned his head and waved quickly, letting the accompanying farmer who had been outside the ruins enter the territory.

Start excavating the collapsed temple building.

The last time I couldn’t dig it was because of lack of tools, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to rely on manpower alone. However, after Cheng Shen returned from the camp battle, the basic vehicles had been unlocked in Shenjifang, and the work of carrying them would be more effective with less effort.

The simple wooden vehicles were quickly pushed into the ruins by the farmers, and with the concerted efforts of everyone, the huge stone bricks were also moved away.

"This formation is quite simple."

In a blink of an eye.

Cheng Shen has already deconstructed the entire formation, and he can destroy it at any time.

I just have some doubts in my heart.

"This monster should have been sealed here by the aboriginals of this ruin, but what caused them to pay a huge price to catch it, but instead of killing it, they kept it here?"

Cheng Shen understood this formation.

Surprisingly found.

In addition to the basic sealing function of this formation, the thirteen human stakes are also absorbing and transforming the energy of heaven and earth all the time, and inputting it into the monster's body, as if helping it to practice.

"My lord, the entrance to the temple has been dug up!"

At this time.

A loud voice came.

Cheng Shen's thoughts were interrupted. Instead of releasing the monster immediately and killing it, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the temple.

The top of the towering temple seemed to have been sliced ​​off by a thunderbolt, but the whole was still majestic. The collapsed stone bricks in front of the entrance were moved to a gap. The opening was not even one-tenth of the temple gate, but it was already able to allow people to enter.

A corner of the huge stone gate carved with ancient mysterious patterns is exposed in the ruins, exuding a desolate atmosphere.

At this moment, Cheng Shen couldn't help but feel a sacred sense of revealing the secrets of ancient history.

"The door opened inwards, but there seemed to be something holding it inside, and we couldn't open it directly from the outside."

Da Meng reminded.

Cheng Shen nodded.

His eyes seem to be able to see the interior through the thick door, there is indeed a deep color, but behind the door, he can only see the vague outline of the object, like an erected octagonal sarcophagus.

Cheng Shen's spiritual power continued to spread inside.

But soon.

An invisible force prevented his vision from going further.

"It's another formation that shields perception."

Cheng Shen pondered a little.

One of his arms suddenly collapsed and melted, scattered into a pool of bright red blood, which penetrated towards the crack of the door. During the penetration process, he also noticed obstacles, but this time he chose to directly violently destroy the formation behind the door.

Bang!
A soft sound.

Under the pervasive infiltration of Cheng Shen's strong blood energy, the remaining trace of protective power on the door was directly pierced, blood flowed into the dusty hall, and a pair of indifferent eyes condensed from it.

Behind the door is a wide aisle. This aisle seems to be built for giants. It is five meters wide and the height does not reach the top. Standing on both sides are three-meter-tall statues with yellow masks and holding spears.

on the wall.

There are various ancient murals full of primitive tribal atmosphere.

But at the moment Cheng Shen poured in, it seemed that he broke the protection of this temple.

Those murals are fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Cheng Shen took a quick glance, and with his powerful memory, he had already remembered all the contents recorded on the mural.

"An ancient ritual... god worship... the aborigines of this ruins once believed in a god.

but……"

Cheng Shen looked at the only mural that recorded the image of a god.

Looking at the pitch-black ball of light, and the arms full of eyeballs protruding from it.

He has good reason to be skeptical.

These temple survivors believe in an out-and-out evil god.
