All-out Tower Defense: My Card-Drawing Talent is a Bit Strange

Looking at the tentacle monster's slender tentacles, as thin as chopsticks, Yang Fei felt a little uneasy. However, after careful observation, it seemed that the tentacle monster was also afraid of him, which made sense.

Its tentacles were taut and its body was standing as straight as possible, but perhaps because these creatures had not yet reached adulthood, they were less than half a meter tall. Combined with their trembling appearance, if you ignored the creepy tentacles, they were actually quite cute from an overall perspective, which made Yang Fei's original discomfort disappear in an instant.

Looking back at the canopy of the small black tree, another black jellyfish stood in front of Yang Fei in the same manner.

"Great Lord of the Abyss, your most loyal subjects greet you~" The two jellyfish slowly moved their bald and soft heads without making a sound, but Yang Fei understood.

Name: Tentacle Jellyfish

Race: Abyssal Tentacle Monster

Level: Beast Level 0

Attributes: Health 100, Attack 6, Defense 3, Magic Resistance 0

Abilities: Can move tentacles, control abyssal filth, and eat various species.

Dancing Tentacles: The Tentacle Jellyfish can wave its eighteen tentacles to launch all-around attacks and defenses, and can perform eighteen different attacks in an instant. The cooldown time is ten minutes.

Abyssal Foul Aura (Passive): A special creature from the Abyss world, countered by the Order faction. When attacked by it, the damage received is doubled, but at the same time, it becomes immune to some negative effects. Currently immune to slow, hypnosis, charm, and poison, and will gradually unlock more as the level increases.

Omnivorous: Because they come from the abyss where survival resources are scarce, they can be fed any food and only need to eat once a day, but the food they eat must contain a small amount of true energy.

Currently, their loyalty is 100%. Having witnessed the Abyss Tentacle Children acknowledging you as their master, they now consider you the Lord of the Abyss (utterly loyal, and this cannot be changed in any way), and will unconditionally obey your commands.

Looking at the descriptions of these two little guys, Yang Fei was somewhat surprised. These little guys are quite strong, with a total of three skills. According to the monster grade classification, they are definitely of lord quality.

But why are these two little guys' loyalty at maximum? Normally, soldiers recruited through nests should have a loyalty of around 70%, right? Why are these two so loyal to the death?

The Son of the Abyss Tentacles has recognized me as his master? What kind of thing is this? When did I recognize the Son of the Abyss Tentacles as my son? No, if we only look at the name, it seems that I really do have such a son.

Looking at the golden-quality tentacle tower standing quietly on the edge of the sky island, Yang Fei seemed to understand something. The golden-quality defensive tower was equivalent to a cultivator who had condensed the five internal organs, which was also a mid-grade demon beast.

In the basic introduction of the tower defense world, mid-grade monsters can easily crush a star-level civilization, and above that, there is only one type: cosmic-level civilization, which can be said to be the pinnacle of power.

The tentacle tower is alive and has been bound to Yang Fei. Defense towers don't have loyalty, so binding is essentially recognizing a master. In a sense, the child of the abyss tentacles has indeed recognized Yang Fei as its master.

"Haha, finally some good news! If this hypothesis holds true, then no matter what kind of creatures we recruit in the future, as long as they are tentacle monsters, they will all pledge allegiance to us?"

Having figured this out, Yang Fei looked at the abilities of the two little guys again, and his original worries disappeared. Instead, he became somewhat expectant. Upgrading the tentacle nest had a chance to recruit other types of tentacle monsters. The most basic tentacle jellyfish was already equivalent to a lord monster, so wouldn't other types be even stronger?

As for the food issue that I was worried about at the beginning, it's no longer a problem. With the ability to eat different kinds of food, these two little guys only need to eat once a day. As for the so-called food containing true energy, I ate it tonight.

The True Qi Rice contains True Qi because it grows in this world. When the time comes, simply mix a small amount of True Qi Rice into the white rice; it will be exactly the same as tonight's dinner. No special cooking is needed; just add a small amount of well water from here.

Moreover, through their subtle interactions, Yang Fei learned that the two little creatures' appetites were just like their size—less than half a meter long. They ate very little, less than a single meal for Yang Fei, which was perfectly manageable.

After inspecting his two subordinates, Yang Fei took out the gray arrow tower card and built it directly next to the white arrow tower. Then, he placed the gray crystal into the ballista section of the gray arrow tower. The gray crystal flashed and transformed into one hundred crossbow bolts that appeared next to the ballista, thus completing the charging of the gray arrow tower.

The gray arrow tower looks exactly like the white arrow tower, except that it is somewhat dilapidated and covered with moss. It also has a suspended ladder for people to go up and down.

Yang Fei stayed behind to operate the ballista. Although he wasn't physically strong, operating the ballista with its assistance wasn't difficult for him. Moreover, when Yang Fei practiced at school, his accuracy was actually quite good. He could hit a basketball-sized slime within 30 meters with over 90% accuracy, if not 100%.

The main problem is that I don't have many subordinates who can operate this thing right now. The tentacle jellyfish can pull the ballista without any problem, but its accuracy is questionable. These hundred crossbow bolts were obtained by exchanging gray crystals, so I should save as many as possible.

"Initiate the monster siege!" At 9:10 PM, after confirming that the two white arrow towers were fully charged and that the two tentacle jellyfish had each picked up a hoe, shovel, iron pot, and pot lid with their tentacles and were getting used to using them, Yang Fei seized the opportunity to initiate the next wave of monster siege.

"Understood, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1, your first wave of the beginner trial, a normal difficulty monster siege, will begin in ten minutes. Monster type: Slime, Monster level: Beast, Level 0, Monster quantity: 108."

Seeing the notification on the blue door, Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were 8 more monsters than recorded, it was still acceptable. After all, these slimes didn't have much health, and two fully charged white arrow towers were more than enough.

Moreover, based on the previous observations, the monster spawning efficiency of the Blue Gate is actually fixed.

This means that although the total number of monsters has increased, the efficiency of passing through the blue door has not improved. Slimes are still jumping out one by one. A simple calculation shows that even without this gray arrow tower, one's remaining combat power should be enough to clear the level.

With two fully charged white arrow towers and Yang Fei ordering two tentacle jellyfish to act as ground troops to block the enemy, this wave should be secure. There's no need to worry too much; after all, these monsters in the beginner's tenth wave aren't very smart and will only rush to the base.
