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

Seeing this, Yang Fei sent three tentacle jellyfish forward. It seemed they couldn't serve as reserves, so he decided to hurry up and kill the slimes to gain experience and level up quickly to prepare for the next wave.

Soon, the two white arrow towers ran out of energy. Yang Fei, who had carefully positioned himself, promptly took out two gray crystals and used them on the two white arrow towers to replenish their energy. The two arrow towers then rejoined the battle almost seamlessly.

At the same time, the familiar system notification sounded: "Respected Apprentice Lord, your valiant actions in defending the Sky Island against the Slime Clan's attack have caused the Slime Clan to develop a slight animosity towards you, triggering a special event—The Gaze of the Slime King!"

"The next 120 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality Corrupted Slimes, 120 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality Acid Slimes, and 30 regular slimes will be replaced with elite-quality Ice Slimes. Good luck!"

Looking at the system notification, Yang Fei was speechless. 120 + 120 equals 240 elite slimes. Adding the new 30 ice slimes, the total is 270.

There are only 466 monsters left. With this replacement, more than half of the remaining slimes are now elites. This is something Yang Fei never expected. Although there were quite a few elite monsters in the previous waves, it was still playable. Can it still be played now?

As Yang Fei cocked his ballista, he quickly considered his options. If the monster spawn rate remained the same as before, continuing to ignore the elites like in the previous waves would likely be difficult, unless…

Seeing the 20 inferior demons and ordinary slimes going back and forth on the field, Yang Fei finally made up his mind. He ordered the four arrow towers to focus all their efforts on killing the elite slimes first, and then put the ordinary slimes into the war corridor to be stopped by the ground troops.

This is a decision that an ordinary lord would never make, because once he makes this decision, it is almost equivalent to giving his people a death order to use their bodies to block the monsters' attack, and their loyalty will drop sharply.

Yang Fei doesn't need to worry about this. Whether it's the tentacle jellyfish or the inferior demon, their loyalty is at its maximum, they are absolutely loyal. This means that they will follow any of Yang Fei's orders, even to the death.

However, Yang Fei did not want anything to happen to these people, so he sent out all the remaining inferior demons on the sky island who were not yet officially employed. Since they had no weapons, Yang Fei ordered them to stay under the city wall and replenish their ranks as soon as they saw their comrades in front of them exhausted, using them as a second team.

Exploding Frost Slime: Beast Level 0, Elite Unit, HP 1, Attack 50, Defense 0, Magic Resistance 0, Mutant Frost Slime, containing frost power within its body, and due to its low level, its status is extremely unstable.

Upon being killed, the frost power within the body is instantly released, forming a frozen field with a radius of three meters centered on the user, dealing damage equal to one-tenth of the user's attack power per second for one minute.

Just as Yang Fei aimed his ballista at the war corridor, a slime with a slightly transparent body and tiny ice crystals inside spawned from the monster spawn point. The little guy was even smaller than a normal slime, and its body was transparent. If Yang Fei hadn't been lucky, he really wouldn't have noticed it.

"It self-destructs, dealing damage within a three-meter radius, and it's continuous damage. It also has a built-in stealth effect, so if you're not careful during a monster siege, it can really break your defenses."

Looking at the attributes of the transparent slime, Yang Fei's expression became somewhat solemn. If it were frozen, it would take 300 points of damage, which no one could withstand at this stage. Even a defensive tower would lose health, making it very unwise.

If there weren't only 30 of them, Yang Fei would have really cursed. 300 points of damage, and in some situations it's not just the kind of rush attack from ordinary monsters, but 300 points within the area after they explode. It's not something that can be easily dealt with at this stage. It must be taken seriously, and its kill priority must be higher than the other two types of slimes.

Since the elite slimes had not yet entered the attack range, the two white arrow towers were still firing at the ordinary slimes at full power. Yang Fei also began shooting at the ordinary slimes. Now was not the time to conserve energy; they had to prepare for the upcoming battle and reduce the pressure on the ground battlefield.

Having successfully shot down an ordinary slime, Yang Fei glanced at another gray arrow tower in the distance as the moon was about to be drawn back up. He wanted to see how Mona had done it and whether her skills were as good as she had said.

This sight was quite alarming. Yang Fei was stunned for a moment, and his hands almost stopped moving. He saw the gray arrow tower continuously firing crossbow bolts, killing elite slimes with each arrow. If Yang Fei hadn't known that the succubus girl was operating it, he would have thought it was a white arrow tower.

The efficiency of cocking, aiming, and firing was astonishing, far surpassing that of Yang Fei, a half-baked trainee with several years of training. Its monster-killing efficiency was only slightly inferior to that of the automated white arrow tower, leaving Yang Fei speechless.

Furthermore, Yang Fei discovered something else: the succubus girl didn't prioritize killing the Ice Slime, which Yang Fei considered the most threatening, but instead cleared out the lone elite slimes. She only killed the Ice Slime when the number of Ice Slimes and other elite slimes had accumulated to a similar level.

The Ice Slime had only a sliver of health left, so it couldn't withstand the crossbow bolts and exploded. A ring of white frost instantly froze everything within a three-meter radius, including both elite and regular slimes. With only 300 health, the slime couldn't withstand the continuous freezing damage and was killed.

"Huh? Ice Slime self-destruction causes friendly fire? And it even counts as a kill?" Yang Fei's eyes lit up as he watched the items that fell in the War Corridor after the slimes affected by the Ice Slime self-destruction disappeared.

"I wonder if the succubus girl gained any experience from the frozen slimes after they died. If she did, that would be great." Yang Fei watched the succubus girl wreaking havoc and couldn't help but indulge in some unrealistic fantasies.

However, even without experience, Yang Fei must promote the succubus girl's killing method. Those experiences are not important to Yang Fei now, because he, the succubus girl, and his soldiers all have limited experience to absorb.

As mentioned earlier, so-called experience is not a quantifiable data, but rather true energy that aids cultivation. It will dissipate in the body in a short time. If there is too much of it, it is impossible to absorb it all. This was the case with Yang Fei last night. Despite his efforts to absorb a large amount of experience, a considerable portion of it still dissipated.

Therefore, at this stage, these experiences are irrelevant. Yang Fei is really happy that he can easily pass the monster siege in this way. The fact that the monsters can be injured is something Yang Fei never expected.
