Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 337 Night in the Forest

Arrange everything.

Cheng Shen packed all the things he could and needed to take into his backpack.

The focus of his attention is naturally the few weird and cursed creatures in the territory.

Weird originally had three, the medium left by the curse of the deep sea, the arm of the blood corpse, and the black shadow.

Soi Ying was "sent" to Xuetu by him before.

Since then.

Its territory score has been dropping.

Until now, they have been completely squeezed out of the top [-] by the lords of the order camp.

I don't know if it is dead or still alive.

Cheng Shen was deeply impressed by Xue Tu's ancestral artifact. It was the first and only time he saw a non-cursed item that could resist strangeness.

It's a pity that I couldn't grab it at the time.

Now there is no chance.

Melting down all the star gold ornaments looted from the Temple of Sacrifice and the Storm Castle, Cheng Shen obtained 130 kilograms of pure gold.

If used to mint gold coins.

These star gold will be smelted into a huge sum of 13 gold!
However, Cheng Shen obtained a large amount of gold coins through trade with Rhine, and the output of the Thunder Beast's lair could bring him an income of 1 gold per day.

At present, the demand for gold coins when the territory is upgraded is completely sufficient.

These gold materials,

Cheng Shen used all of it to make sealing containers and tools.

A ring box as small as a finger, and as large as a coffin for a corpse...

There is also a set of surgical knives.

As for the armor.

Cheng Shen imagined it and found that it was not realistic.

The strange erosion is pervasive, but he wants to build a pure gold armor, but it is impossible not to leave even the slightest gap.

Not to mention breathing.

How to move alone is the biggest problem.

And with his current background, the weirdness below level A is not impossible to contend with.

If you encounter A-level or above...

Run as much as you can.

If he can't run away, he might as well just blow himself up, recruit the Deep Sea Curse and Tenant No. [-], and let them touch each other to see who is stronger...

Whoa!

The jet-black liquid in the barrel rippled.

On the surface of the water, a swollen female corpse sinking on the bottom of the sea was reflected. Its back was facing up, and its long hair was floating like a mess of water plants. Under Cheng Shen's gaze, the female corpse began to slowly float up, as if it was about to crawl out of the bottom of the water.

The cold and dead breath spread to the surroundings.

Cheng Shen didn't dare to procrastinate.

Holding an oil lamp.

Directly use a round container to put it into the barrel, and then use talent to modify the structure of the container to completely seal the edge gap.

the other side.

A bloody corpse sealed in a pure gold urn is much quieter.

Cheng Shen re-reinforced its container and put it into the backpack together. These two hidden dangers that had been stored in the territory were finally eliminated.

And besides being weird.

It is a cursed thing.

There are six cursed objects on his body: parchment scroll, spirit-eliminating blade, ancient oil lamp, book of curses, brood of grudges, and bronze armor.

He has basically figured out the functions of these cursed objects.

and backlash.

Only the bronze armor that was taken from the body of the owner of the Storm Castle, the specific purpose of which he was not sure yet.

And these things, besides him, it is difficult for others to ignore the side effects if they want to use them, and keeping them will only increase hidden dangers in the territory.

He is ready to take them all away.

As for leaving an inheritance, that is something you will only do when you are sure that you will die.This time, Cheng Shen is fighting for the chance of survival, whether it is useful or not, it is better to bring them all first, than to find out that they are not available when they want to use them.

If it weren't for Zhang Yao's situation, it would be very difficult.

Cheng Shen wanted to borrow all the cursed objects in his hand as well.

Especially Brother Pig's knife.

pity.

Cheng Shen then ordered the backyard well to be filled.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that his disasters all started after this broken well attracted the curse of the deep sea.Even if it doesn't cause any troubles in the future, it will be difficult for Cheng Shen to face this incident calmly.

What's more, there is no shortage of this water source in the territory.

Turn around.

Cheng Shen came to the blacksmith workshop.

The long sword of the Exile Commander he entrusted Lawrence to recast has been completed.

[Long Sword of the Exile Commander (Seal)]

【arms】

[Type: hands]

[Level: Perfect]

【Attack: 1】

【Attack speed: 1】

[Sharpness: 1]

[Feature ①: This weapon will devour the life of the holder, continuously devouring 2000 points of life per second, this effect cannot be eliminated by any means until the holder is completely dead, it can also take effect in the backpack]

[Characteristic ②: Can kill exiled creatures with one blow]

【Durable: not wearable, not dropable】

【Requirement: binding】

……

The binding still hasn't been lifted, and the weapon is still sucking his blood.

After the recasting is complete, the absorption effect is even worse.

The good news is that the other negative attributes are finally gone, although it doesn't affect him much, and the attributes of this weapon are still very rubbish.

"One hit will kill the exile creature..."

Cheng Shen read out unconsciously.

This attribute seems to be the only meaning for the existence of this long sword.

"The unbelievers trapped in that city regard this sword as a back road to escape... There must not be only one back road. Murdoch was in charge of one of them, but it has obviously failed... ..."

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

He didn't believe it, those unbelievers who were not afraid of anything, only prepared such a way out.

Maybe for them this road is just the easiest to get through.

Thinking about it, Cheng Shen took the scabbard made by Lawrence, and put the black wide blade into it.

Then he came to the market and entered the gold shop to wait.

One hour……

Three hours……

five hours...

Before he knew it, he waited until it was light again.

"Looks like it won't come again."

Cheng Shen thought.

No one came.

It was time for him to go.

The cold wind is bleak.

Cold to the bone.

This season is coming to an end, and the thick cloud covering the sky is a bit whitish, as if a rare snowstorm is brewing.

"Just send it here."

At the edge of the open-pit mine on the ruins of the barren village, Cheng Shen said without turning his head.

Only Arzeka and Vera came to see him off.

But he knew that both Claudia and Usegra had more pressing matters.

After I left, the task of protecting the territory was given to them.

The burden is heavy.

The system will not stop the operation of the entire death game just because it is not there. People, natural disasters, and monsters, in this already perilous dark forest, no one can guarantee which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

"Vera, you still have to protect your father, don't follow me to take risks, I promise you will definitely come back."

He had expected it.

Hearing this, the girl slowly lowered her tightly clenched hands, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

"It's not life and death..."

Cheng Shen shook his head. If he himself didn't have confidence in surviving, there was no need to expect to get out of that city alive.

Cheng Shen didn't let the two of them cross the border of the deserted village.

Further on.

Any inch of land is likely to step into the area of ​​the old city.

Say it.

He left.

The dense crown of branches swaying in the wind quickly covered his back without a trace.

Arjieka and Vera stood in place for a long time, until the former took the initiative to hold Vera's hand, "Go back, he must have successfully stepped into that realm when he comes back, and we can't stay where we are."

"Um……"

Vera replied with red eyes.

……

Swish...

There is only the rustling of the wind passing through the dense forest.

Cheng Shen moved silently, like a ghost, with full energy control and emotional perception. The released soul power grasped all the movements within 2000 meters around him, and the voices of countless lives beat in his palms.

Those are all kinds of monsters that are active in the forest.

off the territory.

Only then did Cheng Shen discover that there are not no wild animals in this forest.

In fact, the drastic changes in the environment have indeed eliminated a large number of life forms that cannot adapt to survival, but most of the species that can survive in such a heavily polluted environment have become extremely powerful and difficult to deal with.

The starting point of his arrival is completely the safe zone specially marked by the system.

Not even a stronger wild monster can be seen around.

But now that he has left the safe zone, the horror of this forest itself is gradually being revealed to him.

"What a strong monster..."

Cheng Shen examined the active energy fluctuations within his field of vision.

If divided by normal monster levels, the monsters that appeared in his field of vision right now would be at level [-] at the start.

and,

Monsters of this level are considered to be at the bottom of the food chain...

There are many forms of energy that are so blurred that they can't be seen clearly, flashing past Cheng Shen's perception.

However, that doesn't mean that the opponent's strength is stronger than him, but purely because the level exceeds the upper limit of his insight.

Cheng Shen is now level 27.

He can't check the attributes of monsters higher than ten levels.

However, let alone mobs at level 37, they were elites, leaders, and even lord-level creatures.

As long as he is not a peak life that has touched the extraordinary threshold, he has a very high chance of winning the battle.His bright red form, and the influence of the soul level are all BUG-level abilities that can kill people invisible and challenge beyond the level!
Cheng Shen didn't take the initiative to provoke those difficult monsters.

But he took care of everything that stood in front of him, just in time to accumulate information and prepare for the future expansion of the territory...

Kill all the way.

By the way, Cheng Shen tasted all the strange herbs he encountered, enriching the content of pharmacology.

time flies.

The distance between the old city and him is also farther than imagined.

He judged from the position seen by the scout guards that the old city was at most tens of thousands of meters away from him.

He'll be there in two or three hours at full speed.

But in fact, he has already traveled for half a day, and the distance between him and the old city still seems far away.

Some thoughts flashed in Cheng Shen's mind, but he gave up in the end and continued to chase towards the horizon.

He pinches the time.

until seven o'clock.

Night is coming.

Only then did Cheng Shen stop.

He didn't want to take the risk of traveling at night, so he returned the same way. Cheng Shen recalled what he saw when he came and found an abandoned lumber camp in the forest.

It has been deserted here for a long time.

Trunks as thick as a person's arms have grown out of the cut stumps on the ground.

The humble logging hut has already been covered with dark green vines.

dilapidated.

Cheng Shen passed by here before and did not stop, and he did not expect that the old city would be so far away from him.

Furthermore.

It was also because there was a monster in this abandoned logging factory that he didn't want to provoke.

"Om..."

The snoring resounded through the sky.

A brown hill lay across the wide lumber field, with its chest constantly rising and falling. It was a giant bear with two heads. At this time, one head was sleeping, and the other head was open.

Its broad palm gently picked up a stack of tattered papers.

Comparing the two, it is as if an elephant is carefully trying to caress the ants on its body...

Cheng Shen believed that he was right.

It is reading a book.

A bear reading a book!
There is no doubt that this bear has been born with extremely high intelligence, and it may not be a wise decision to choose it as an opponent.

But Cheng Shen had no choice.

On the way here, he had already studied how the creatures in these forests lived here and spent the night.

But the results show.

They are not equipped to stand up to the horrors of the night.

The reason why they can survive in the forest is because there are special ruins in this forest.

These sites are either left by humans or some kind of strange natural landforms.

But they all have the power to resist the night...

Cheng Shen was able to draw this conclusion because he found that there were a large number of footprints left by living things in these ruins.

The traces are all new.

And there is no water source or other resources needed to sustain life in these ruins, so why do they gather together inexplicably?
Simple inference.

Cheng Shen could easily think of this.

The lumberyard in front of him was the closest ruins to him at this moment, and as night approached, no matter how difficult this giant bear was, Cheng Shen didn't want to look for other places.

quack...

He deliberately stepped on a branch and made a noise, attracting the gaze of the giant bear, and then walked into the courtyard calmly.

"Humanity……"

The gigantic bear, as huge as a hill, stopped snoring.

It lifted half of its body, and the huge shadow covered Cheng Shen's whole body, but there was no hostility in the blood red eyes. The giant bear stretched out a broad paw and shook Cheng Shen.

"?"

Cheng Shen sensed that it was asking for something from himself.

What do you mean?
Pay protection fee?

The giant bear didn't attack him immediately, but he was so considerate that he didn't expect it.

But what will it take?
Cheng Shen quickly grasped the layout of the logging camp.

When he saw the book, he wondered, if the place had been abandoned for many years, how could the paper book be preserved, and it could not withstand the giant bear's flipping through it?

And at this moment, its familiar reaction has verified some things.

I thought about it.

Cheng Shen took out a book from his backpack.

"The History of Yellow Dye"

……

This book should have been obtained when he bought books from survivors.

It is neither a magic theory book nor a skill book, it only records an extremely boring story.

Because it didn't take up much space in the backpack, Cheng Shen didn't even bother to throw it away.

right now,

Just came in handy.

call.

Cheng Shen used a bit of soul power to send the book to the giant bear. It was really interested, and immediately threw away the tattered book in its hand and lay down on the ground to read it.

"..."

Does this solve it?
Cheng Shen found a broken tree stump in the lumber mill and sat down, his eyes straightened.

Do you want to take this opportunity to sneak attack and kill this bear...?
