Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

Chapter 114 Small Town Transportation Module

Fang Si sat on that pink stage, her expression changing instantly. This replenishment speed was completely different from usual; it was almost like pouring energy directly into her mouth.

Even a level four professional like myself, if Wang Hu were to come up, might faint from the source energy in no time.

"This mode has a cooldown period of 12 hours, so don't overthink it!"

Sui An's voice came from the side. This time, in order to prevent this highly thoughtful expert from overthinking, he chose to speak first and cut off his thoughts.

Restoring one person in this mode is actually a waste. The normal way to use it is to gather multiple level 4 professionals together, but right now the territory needs supplies, so let's just let it go.

Fang Si learned her lesson this time and stopped asking seemingly stupid questions. She closed her eyes to rest and focused all her energy on drawing in the source energy to accelerate her recovery.

More than forty minutes have passed since the blood moon descended, and the density of light spots entering the projection on the detection platform has obviously decreased significantly.

Six elemental statues and three cannons bombarded the area intermittently for forty minutes, in addition to barriers, illusions, and a stage.

Banners were used in succession.

Sui An subconsciously glanced at his energy expenditure, which was indeed quite terrifying.

Of the original six thousand or so source stones in stock, only three thousand remain.

This was the first time Sui An had ever expended such a large amount of energy, equivalent to depleting the core energy of a level-three territory more than three times over. Even the last rift only consumed a little over a thousand source stones.

The reason for this is that the icy mist surges in from all directions, which immediately reduces the effectiveness of the illusions. Even though he manipulates the illusions to circle around, many scattered ice demons still manage to break through his defenses under the descent of the blood moon.

In addition, due to the unique nature of the Ice Demon, it is difficult to kill it in one hit using ordinary methods, and killing it also consumes more energy.

"As expected of the ice fog tide known as a disaster~" Sui An was no longer as calm as he was the day before. This thing was indeed not very dangerous during the day.

But the Blood Moon gave them a berserk buff, and who knows how many of these things are now within a five or ten kilometer radius of him.

Turning his gaze away from the heart of the territory, Sui An shouted loudly.

"I'll set up the barrier later. Fang Si, Hu Zi, you'll have to go and collect those source stones; it's too taxing!"

"Remember to bring a big bag; just collect the ones I've already eliminated."

"Okay!" Wang Hu's voice came from above.

Fang Si closed his eyes and nodded. He was still fully absorbing the source energy surging into his body. This special effect was indeed extraordinary. In about ten minutes, he had recovered most of his strength.

However, the detection station next to it sounded again, and a new level 4 ice demon appeared in the projection.

Fang Si had to interrupt his recovery. He stood up and was about to speak when a new light appeared on him.

"This time it's five minutes!"

Sui An didn't turn his head, but focused on manipulating the illusion. He had to attract away the ice demons accumulating around the barrier as soon as possible, otherwise the barrier would consume too much energy.

But before Fang Si could step out of the barrier, the detection station next to him issued another warning, and he subconsciously looked back.

A bright red, shining spot appeared near the orange spot.

"Level 5 Ice Demon!"

Fang Si's expression changed drastically. He stopped in his tracks instantly. With the buff from the banner, he was confident that he could take on two level-four ice demons at once.

He was fairly confident in taking on a level 5 ice demon one-on-one, at most trading blows, but he definitely didn't have the option of having both a level 5 and a level 4 ice demon appear at the same time.

Sui An's expression was somewhat gloomy at this moment. His gaze turned to Jian Xing again. This was the first time he had felt how big the difference was without this purple attack building.

Fang Si gritted her teeth: "I'll give it a try!"

"No, we need to take care of that level four one first!"

Sui An refused outright: "Wait for my orders!"

This was the first time Sui An had spoken with such a strong tone. His first reaction was not to attack, but to simultaneously deploy three Thousand Wind Barriers, merging the three barriers into one layer, greatly increasing their defensive power.

"boom!"

The level 5 ice demon was extremely fast. In just a short while, it had already covered hundreds of meters and arrived in front of the barrier.

The enormous fist slammed into the triple barrier, causing countless dandelions to vibrate violently within it. If Sui An had hesitated for even a second, the first barrier would likely have shattered on the spot.

The level 5 ice demon arrived in front of the barrier, and everyone finally saw this ice demon, which was currently the highest level. It was like a real giant, with thick limbs and a height of four or five meters. Half of its body was already displayed on the wall.

Beside it, the relatively small level four ice demon had also arrived, waving its long, narrow claws, trying to tear open the barrier.

Sui An manipulated the banners whose light had not yet faded, and three beams of light were injected into Wang Hu, Fang Nian and himself respectively.

"Focus fire on the level four one!"

Sui An gave up on eliminating the ice demons attracted by the illusions. The illusions could last for another two or three minutes, as long as they didn't bother him.

The four elemental statues did not attack immediately, but instead entered a charging mode.

The cannonballs from the three turrets were fired at the level four ice demon, but it tore them apart with a single claw. The violent explosions sent it staggering backward, and countless metal spikes pierced its icy body, creating only a few holes.

The next second, fine cracks appeared around the hole on its body, like a cracked piece of porcelain, but its body shone with a cold light, and it had already begun to recover.

"唳~"

The four lightning crows had finished charging up and transformed into lightning bolts, striking the ice demon one after another. Sui An had not used the level three elemental statue's charged attack before.

Since obtaining the Sword Star Totem, he had put this mode aside, but now it has shown a power that exceeded Sui An's expectations.

The three lightning crows struck the cracked level four ice demon one after another, and their massive body was blasted into pieces from the middle.

The ice-blue crystal core had barely been exposed when it was locked onto by the fourth night raven.

"boom!"

The ice core was shattered, and a stream of Originium was thrown out from it.

Fang Si was dumbfounded. Although he knew that the elemental statues were very powerful, he had never seen this Night Raven mode before and found it incredible.

Level 4 is called intermediate for a reason; it's because there's a qualitative difference between it and Level 3.

"Let's focus fire on this level 5 one!"

Sui An's voice came again. At this moment, the Thousand Wind Barrier was already teetering on the brink of collapse under the hammer blows of that raging ice demon.

Three golden cannonballs shot towards the giant ice demon, but this time a huge fist swung through the air and shattered the three cannonballs. As for the metal fragments in the explosion, they only scratched some fine lines and did not cause any greater damage.

The giant ice demon didn't even flinch, and the shock effect amplified by the banners was clearly not very effective against the cannonballs.

Fang Si was getting impatient. The four elemental statues had already dimmed, clearly indicating that such an attack would come at a price.

"Fang Si, stall it for a bit!"

Sui An's voice came through, saying that they could not let it continue its violent attacks on the barrier.

Fang Si leaped from the gun emplacement, the blade of his straight sword gleaming brightly as he slashed down, even shattering the ice mist with his blade.

"boom!

""

The giant's punch collided with Fang Si's attack near the barrier, and a huge shockwave erupted around the barrier, completely dispersing the ice mist.

Fang Si's body flew backward in the air, did a somersault, and landed on the ground, taking several steps back before regaining her footing.

The level-five giant fared no better; its massive fist was severed in half by the blade's edge, and its enormous body was forced back into the icy mist.

"That's amazing!" Sui An exclaimed sincerely.

But now is not the time to relax. All six elemental statues have been temporarily relocated to the front. As for the low-level ice demons that have scattered around, let them go and dig up the walls first.

Fang Si rushed towards the outside of the wall again, only to be met with that huge fist again, but this time it was another arm.

Seemingly unaccustomed to it, the strength and speed of this arm were significantly weaker. After being knocked away by a blow, Fang Si completely avoided direct confrontation and frantically dodged using the speed boost, managing to find openings and strike its chest several times.

Seemingly having grasped the rhythm of the ice demon's attacks, Fang Si suddenly twisted his body, dodging the giant fist once again. He frantically condensed source energy on his straight blade, and a two-meter-long blade beam slashed fiercely into the ice demon's chest.

After multiple hits, the accumulated shockwave suddenly exploded, tearing its chest open with a devastating blow.

An ordinary source beast would have been seriously injured by now, but this ice demon was unaffected. Its severed arm swung out from the other side. Fang Si tried to block with his knife, but was immediately knocked away by a huge force and almost crashed into the wall.

With Fang Si buying time, Sui An's six elemental statues had already fully charged up their power, and the lightning bolts bombarded the ice demon.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

The continuous roar blasted the ice mist apart, and the giant's chest wound was completely ripped open by the successive explosions. His huge body fell backward, about to be split in two, even exposing the ice core, which was the size of a mango.

A figure rushed up the wall, his straight blade gleaming, and completely severed the body. With a flick of his longsword, Fang Si retrieved the massive ice core, completely enveloping it with his source energy to prevent it from rapidly reviving by gathering ice crystals.

Fang Si looked up at Wang Hu behind him, and Wang Hu instantly understood what he meant. The ice core was thrown to the ground not far away, and the golden cannonball exploded, shattering the huge ice core into pieces on the spot.

A level 5 Originium appeared, and at the same time, a blue trophy orb appeared and fell to the ground.

"Phew~"

Fang Si's face was pale, and blood was faintly seeping from the corner of her mouth. She stood on the wall and exhaled.

That's how it is when you fight high-level source beasts; there are no back-and-forth moves, only a fatal blow.

Sui An also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Fang Si was strong enough, and with the amplification of the banner, he was actually able to injure a level 5 ice demon, and even cut open a huge wound.

Without that huge wound, the explosion of his six Night Ravens might not have caused much damage.

At that point, he will have no choice but to use Sword Star, and he may not be able to care about the potential consequences of Sword Star.

The illusion in the distance was teetering on the brink of collapse, clearly having reached its critical point, but the elemental statues were still cooling down.

Taking advantage of this time, Sui An began to rearrange the elemental statues, ignoring the cooldown interval, and summoned new illusions to pull the surrounding ice demons together.

Fang Si returned to the stage to continue his recovery. The effect of his performance lasted for about ten more minutes, which was enough for him to recover most of his strength.

The two people on the gun emplacement also relaxed subconsciously, after all, the scene just now was somewhat frightening.

Having wasted a little more time, Sui An looked at the core of his territory again. In just a short while, another four or five hundred source stones had been lost.

Looking at the projection of the detection station, apart from the area near the illusion, the light spots in other places have finally become much sparser, and it has returned to a level close to daytime. It seems that the ice demons wandering near my territory have been killed off.

After clearing out the large number of ice demons drawn by the last wave of illusions, and taking advantage of the greatly reduced number of ice demons on the outer side, the group quickly retrieved the loot from the outer side, which took them quite a while to finish collecting it.

After nearly an hour of defense, although it cost more than 3,000 Originium, the gains were even greater.

"Amounts of around five thousand Originium!"

Sui An was suddenly pleasantly surprised, not expecting that the gains would exceed the expenses. After thinking for a moment, Sui An understood.

The fewer Ice Demons there are, the less effective the area-of-effect damage from Elemental Statue and Gold Shattering Cannon will be once you gather them together using illusions.

The amount of source stones this time was much greater than the last rift, but because most of the ice demons were level one or two, unlike the day when level three source beasts dominated, the overall harvest was actually a few hundred less.

After retrieving the secondary core, Sui An's source stones were now nearly two thousand more than before the ice mist tide appeared; in fact, they had not decreased.

There are a few more spoils of war. Apart from the green formula I unexpectedly obtained during the day, I now have two white, two green, and one blue orbs.

Unfortunately, the level 5 ice demon didn't give him a purple loot. Killing a level 5 ice demon with a level 3 territory only gave him a blue loot, which was quite disappointing.

However, the blue orb did produce a very useful blueprint, which made him feel a little better.
