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

Chapter 131 Three Thousand Treasure Chests

After spending an hour replenishing his energy, Yang Fei recovered, and Mona went to her Ice Arrow Tower to take over Lola's duties, who needed to rest, and quickly threw herself into the battle.

As for Yang Fei, he didn't rest for long either. After meditating cross-legged for a while, he also joined the battle. Although the tower defense phase of this battle was more than halfway through, it was not the time for him to relax. With nearly 700,000 monsters, he could not afford to be careless.

However, Yang Fei did not devote himself fully to the battle this time. Instead, he picked up his responsibilities as a lord and began to rationally allocate the firepower of the entire battlefield. When the number of monsters remaining on the blue door was only 50,000, Yang Fei ordered the two succubus girls to stop attacking and rest in preparation for the upcoming wave of treasure chest monsters.

Previously, the artillery positions and arrow towers, which had only served as intermittent fire support, were now fully engaged in the battle. For the next hour or so, Yang Fei needed them to use their limited energy to ensure that not a single slime would get close to the city wall.

Sephira dealt with the Ice Slimes that posed a threat to the defensive towers, such as the charging tower where Yang Fei and his group were located. To ensure that someone could climb onto these defensive towers at any time and carry out alternating firepower, Yang Fei deliberately placed these defensive towers close to the War Corridor. Sephira's goal was to deal with these Ice Slimes that could threaten them, and leave the rest to the turret group and arrow tower group.

When slimes are clustered together, bombard them with turrets or burn them with flamethrower towers. When slimes are isolated, attack them with arrow towers. Once the few slimes are dealt with, Yang Fei also stopped attacking and began to concentrate on observing the entire battlefield, directing the various automatic arrow towers to deal with the more serious problems.

Finally, with no more than six thousand slimes remaining, Yang Fei received the prompt he had been waiting for.

"My lord, because of your excellent defense against several waves of monster attacks, three thousand treasure chest monsters floating in the void have set their sights on your sky island. They believe that the reason you were able to defend successfully is because you have a special treasure, and they will descend from the void to steal it from you. Please be careful to defend!"

"Ding~, Your Excellency, you have triggered a special event—"

The shimmering treasure chests: In your current wave, three thousand non-linearly moving mimics will appear, each carrying a different type of treasure chest.

"The mimic will arrive at your sky island—and then disappear from your sky island after stealing the items."

""

Looking at the hundreds of treasure chests that suddenly appeared near the blue door, Yang Fei smiled. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. The area around the blue door was only so big, and the number of monsters that could spawn was actually limited.

Currently, all levels of monsters are attacking the city, including these treasure chest monsters. They cannot spawn directly in other places. Therefore, these three thousand treasure chest monsters cannot all appear at once and must come here in batches.

Previously, because the number of Mimics was limited, a few hundred could be placed at his own spawn point, which made it impossible for him to confirm the problem. Now that three thousand Mimics have swarmed up, Yang Fei has finally confirmed his guess.

"So what if their abilities are outrageous? Aren't they still subject to the siege rules of the tower defense world?" Yang Fei sneered, handing over all the authority over the arrow towers and cannon towers to the two succubus girls who were already at full power. With all the arrow towers and cannon towers firing four times in a row, all the treasure chest monsters that were surging in appeared in the entire war corridor.

Then, Yang Fei took out 66 gray energy crystals and filled all the white arrow towers with energy. The arrow towers then went into full firepower again, pinning all the treasure chest monsters that appeared to the spot.

Unfortunately, Yang Fei didn't want to use the energy crystal, but there were just too many treasure chest monsters this time. Most of the arrow towers only had enough energy left to empty the health bars of these treasure chest monsters on the field, and they couldn't handle the next wave.

"The number of defense towers is still a bit too small. I was only thinking about dealing with the slime horde before, but in this situation, I only have two succubus girls to deal damage. I was a bit careless."

Yang Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief as he saw that no new treasure chest monsters had spawned near the blue door. While controlling the arrow towers to clear the health bars of the treasure chest monsters on the field, he also began to make plans in his mind.

Although we had thought of ways to deal with these mimics swarming at once, this wave was still somewhat unexpected. Three thousand was still too overwhelming. The gray mimics had a thousand health points and ten defense points. It would be quite troublesome for the arrow towers to completely deplete their health bars.

The turrets cannot be used for the time being because they don't have much energy left. They need to be saved for the two succubus girls to control and use to deal with the remaining treasure chest monsters.

"All the energy crystals are on me now, and it's too late to replenish the turret group's energy. This is another new problem. Sure enough, you'll never know your strength or how many problems you have until you try."

Yang Fei shook his head, watching as half of the mimics had turned into real treasure chests and collapsed in the War Corridor. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, thankfully he could still hold on in this situation, otherwise he would definitely have caused a lot of trouble.

Some energy crystals must be given to the commanders of the turret and arrow tower groups; they can't all be kept by myself. Even if they aren't needed this time, I must leave myself a way out to avoid a repeat of today's situation.

Secondly, we must find a way to solve the problem of these mimics attacking the city en masse. The only ones on the entire Sky Island who can actually defeat these mimics are the Succubus sisters. Once their numbers increase, the only viable solution is for them to control the arrow towers and gang up on them.

The previously planned backup plan, which involved using exploding Ice Slimes to cause area-of-effect freezing and spawning Mimics that move in a non-linear fashion, actually had a problem: these Mimics were surprise attacks.

Once they spawned, they immediately attacked in unison. The two succubus girls couldn't cover both areas at the same time, and they couldn't pinpoint the intersection of the exploding ice slime and the treasure chest. They could only use the arrow tower group strategy, which essentially rendered the backup plan useless.

This is not because there are no Ice Slimes on the field. After all, only Sephira was attacking a small number of threatening Ice Slimes before. Although their density may have caused chain reactions from time to time, resulting in a break in the Slime attack, there are still some Ice Slimes overall.

The main problem is that they can't react in time. Hundreds of mimics attack in groups, and their routes and speeds are all slightly different. Even if the two succubi can lock onto them, they can't guarantee that they will appear at the corresponding location of the Ice Slime.

After all, the self-destruction of the Ice Slime has an uncertain pre-destruction time for each individual, and this timing is quite difficult to grasp. Even if the two succubus girls are powerful, they are still just mortals. It is normal that they cannot see the different pre-destruction times caused by the individual differences of each Ice Slime.

Moreover, sometimes you can't guarantee that Mimics will all appear in the same spot as an Ice Slime. After being filtered by Sephira, the remaining Ice Slimes, combined with the overly dense Ice Slimes on the battlefield, will inevitably be left out.

In this case, the exploding Mimic caused by killing an Ice Slime might not be as fast as the two Succubus girls directly "targeting" and killing it.

Having too many Ice Slimes isn't a good thing at this point, because the Arrow Tower must be kept safe, so Sephira's work can't stop. However, if Sephira continues to work, the excessive density of Ice Slimes will cause a chain reaction, clearing out all the Ice Slimes on the field. This will prevent the goal of killing the Ice Slimes from appearing, making it a vicious cycle that leaves Sephira in an awkward situation.

Actually, with Yang Fei's current financial resources, it wouldn't be a big deal for the defensive towers to suffer some damage. However, ever since Yang Fei learned about special waves and infinite waves, he wanted to see what those things were and also wanted to verify whether a perfect clear of all waves would unlock even more outrageous waves. Yang Fei didn't intend for the defensive towers and walls to suffer any damage, so he was somewhat passive in this situation.

"It seems we have to think of other ways." As hundreds of mimics spawned again, Mona and Lola controlled the arrow towers and turrets to complete four rounds of fire coverage, causing all the newly spawned mimics to appear. Yang Fei, while keeping an eye on the remaining energy of the arrow towers, quickly climbed down his own arrow tower and arrived at Li Han's arrow tower.

After handing over two hundred energy crystals to Li Han and instructing him to pay attention to the energy of all the arrow towers, Yang Fei quickly climbed down the arrow towers and ran along the war corridor towards his own sky island at top speed.

By the time Yang Fei bypassed the various mimics that appeared along the way and arrived at the Sky Island, the third wave of mimics had already appeared. Without thinking too much, Yang Fei took out an energy crystal and started replenishing the energy of all the turrets below along the city wall.

With the addition of the turret group, the speed at which the treasure chest monsters were cleared increased dramatically. Yang Fei finally relaxed and finished the monster siege while running. He then collapsed onto the city wall, panting heavily.

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1! You have perfectly cleared the third wave of the Novice Trial, Extreme Mode (5x Extreme) Monster Siege. You can start the 10x Extreme Mode Monster Siege at any time, or you can directly choose the fourth wave of Easy Difficulty Monster Siege."

"Note that after selecting the fourth wave of easy difficulty monster siege, you will never be able to challenge the remaining double-limit mode in this wave again. The number of times you can use the double-limit mode directly affects your daily rewards, so please choose carefully."

"Congratulations, Trainee Lord Yang Fei-1! You have perfectly cleared the third wave of the Novice Trial, 5x Extreme Monster Siege, and have obtained a Public Toilet Construction Card, which has been sent to your system space — countdown five minutes."

Using his lord privileges with great difficulty, Yang Fei collected all the spoils with a single click and gathered them on the nearby city wall. He understood what it meant to experience pain and pleasure at the same time. He already had quite a few system slots, but this wave was still too much for him. He could only collect the spoils wave by wave and dump them on the city wall. The miscellaneous items filled the surrounding space to the brim.

After resting for a while, the two succubus girls came to his side and directed the lesser demons to store the various items around him into the empty boxes. They then hugged Yang Fei in their arms and began to rest as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Fei really wanted to tell the two succubus girls that they had worked hard. After all, it was their outstanding performance that had saved this wave of treasure chest monsters. A word of praise was nothing special. However, Yang Fei couldn't think of any other more sincere way to praise them, so he could only say it so honestly, which made him feel a little less respectable.

"Hehe, my lord, shall we claim our reward now?" Mona buried Yang Fei's head completely in her massive breasts, making it impossible for him to see the expression on her face.

Judging from her tone, Mona was already getting excited. If they weren't on the city wall and there were lesser demons packing things up beside her, the battle would probably have already started again.

Yang Fei started the monster siege at 5:30 this morning, and now it's past 8:00 in the evening. The surrounding void has darkened, and the two succubus girls opposite him are starting to get excited.

Yang Fei deeply felt this and could only sigh inwardly. He couldn't say no now and could only silently agree, since he really didn't have anything good to offer the two succubus girls. He could only fight them.

However, all of this will have to wait until I've finished reviewing all of today's gains and started the daily challenge. For now, everyone should rest well and wait for dinner. After dinner, we should go to bed early to prepare for the two consecutive days of super battles tomorrow before making it up to them. Tonight, we can only have a small battle, and then we need to sleep to recharge for the big battles to come.

This wave of treasure chests was incredibly rewarding, with a whopping 300 white chests, 1200 gray chests, and 1500 gray revival chests. Although Yang Fei was quite annoyed by these treasure chest monsters, the rewards were substantial.

The 1500 resurrection chests are still stored under the golden defense tower. Combined with the resurrection chests harvested earlier, Yang Fei now has 2290 gray resurrection chests, which is quite an impressive number.

As for the regular treasure chests, Yang Fei had accumulated a total of 340 white treasure chests and 1360 gray treasure chests. It can be seen that the vast majority of these treasure chests came from this wave. Ignoring the rewards themselves, this wave was really quite troublesome.

To prevent this from happening again, the simplest and most effective method is to increase the number of defensive towers. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea how to deal with those mimics, so I can only resort to the clumsy method of adding water when there's too much flour, and adding flour when there's too much water.

Once you have enough defensive towers, no matter how many mimics come, it's useless. If you attack in groups, I'll make sure my archer towers are large enough to cover the entire battlefield, so no matter how many mimics come, it won't matter.

Yang Fei also realized that he had to abandon some traditional thinking. Since he already had enough money, there was no need to worry about the gain or loss of a few silver coins. It was true that he didn't want the Heavenly Dao Shop to take advantage of him, but now was not the time to worry about such things.
