Chapter 8 The Tower of Death, The Graveyard of Ferocious Beasts
Chapter 8 The Tower of Death, The Graveyard of Ferocious Beasts
Liu Huasheng's health points are only 100. If he increases by one, it will be 101!
"A little more is always good!"
Liu Huasheng was in a great mood, and his defense was nearing its end!
The Taunt Golem was yelling and screaming, and its durability was still over 3,000. The Killing Arrow Tower was still as powerful as ever, but there were less than 100 Murlocs left, making them look sparse.
Less than a minute later, all the little fishmen were gone, and Donkey Afu excitedly announced: "Ding! All invading monsters defeated! Congratulations, Master, for successfully repelling the monster invasion! Rewards: 300 gold coins, 300 wood, and a random treasure chest!"
"Ding! You have achieved a perfect defense and were the first player to clear out the invading monsters on the minimap. You are hereby awarded two random treasure chests!"
"Ding! You have successfully repelled the third wave of monster invasion. Congratulations on officially becoming a Tower Defense Lord and receiving your exclusive Chaos City! Your exclusive Chaos City is your foundation. You can merge defense towers, train resource gatherers, and research tower defense technologies within it. Your resources have been synchronized to the Chaos City. Please explore it yourself for details."
"Ding! You have successfully repelled three waves of monster invasions. You can now participate in one ranked challenge per day. After seven days, you will face the fourth wave of monster invasions!"
"Ding! Lord Talents are now activated for you. The system will randomly display three Lord Talents for you. You need to choose one! Please note that each Lord player can only have one Lord Talent. Once selected, it cannot be changed."
With the system notification, a small circular castle suddenly appeared in the center of the high ground, and a semi-transparent selection window appeared in front of Liu Huasheng.
====
Optional Talent 1: [Quick Construction], consumes extra stamina, can shorten the construction time of defensive towers.
Optional Talent 2: [Full Recovery], allows you to dismantle defensive towers and recover all resources. This talent also works when destroying enemy defensive towers!
Optional Talent 3: [Ever-Changing] You cannot use defense tower construction blueprints; you can only construct random defense towers. Random defense towers consume equal resources and stamina, and their tier is the same as that of Chaos City.
====
"I've become a full-fledged lord, and I have my own Chaos City? I have to choose one of three lord talents... which one should I pick..."
Liu Huasheng felt there was too much information, but he was very decisive and quickly chose the [Ever-Changing] talent before opening the treasure chest.
Liu Huasheng opened the first treasure chest and got a green scroll.
[Blueprint for the Spike Tower: Unlocks the construction of the Tier 2 defensive control tower, the Spike Tower, upon use.]
"I have already transformed a thousand times; these blueprints are useless to me!"
Liu Huasheng shook his head, opened the second random treasure chest, and got a thousand kilograms of dried rats!
"Holy crap, more dried rats! A thousand kilograms! How long would it take a donkey to sell that?"
Liu Huasheng harbored resentment. He quickly put away the dried rat and opened the third random treasure chest. Inside the chest was a stamina potion that could immediately restore 100 stamina points.
"nice one!"
Liu Huasheng immediately downed the stamina potion in one gulp, and after a few breaths, his stamina was restored to 100 points!
"Build a tower! Build a tower!"
Liu Huasheng shouted as he took the construction hammer from his waist.
Build towers to ensure peace; the more towers there are, the safer you will be!
Liu Huasheng now enjoys building towers.
His defensive tower must possess magical abilities; the moment it is completed will be like witnessing a miracle, something he eagerly anticipates.
And now, there's one more thing to look forward to.
Because Liu Huasheng has acquired the [Ever-Changing] talent, the defensive towers he builds will be randomly generated. Currently, his tower list only has the [Tier 1 Defensive Tower] option. No matter what defensive tower is randomly generated after it is built, building it only requires 100 stamina points, 100 gold coins, and 100 pieces of wood, and the building time is also 100 seconds.
Soon, after a series of frenzied hammer blows, a golden light flashed in front of Liu Huasheng, and a ten-meter-high tower that seemed to be built from black bone fragments appeared. At the top of the tower was a huge, pitch-black bone that looked like a dinosaur skull!
"Ding! The Thousand Transformations technique has taken effect. Congratulations, Master, for constructing the rare Tier 1 defensive tower, the [Tower of Death]!"
Donkey Afu is here to report.
Liu Huasheng looked up at the tower and saw large characters on it:
"Here, there is no life; only death is the destination!"
"A handful of yellow earth, a soul wandering through eternity!"
"The living are but passersby, the dead are those who return home. Heaven and earth are but an inn, all sharing the same sorrow of eternal dust!"
What's outrageous is that there's even a copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra behind the pagoda!

"This tower... it's kind of useless!"
Liu Huasheng frowned, feeling neither surprised nor disappointed.
The Death Tower has an extremely long range, but its firing rate is extremely slow; its death ray can only hit level 1 monsters!
Its magical ability is quite good, equivalent to a taming skill, and perhaps it can be used to form an undead army in the future. But unfortunately, this ability is only useful against first-tier beast monsters.
"Well, it's a rare tower after all, let's keep it!"
Liu Huasheng muttered to himself. Now that all the treasure chests had been opened, he went to study the exclusive Chaos City.
The exclusive Chaos City is a circular castle about 20 meters high, seemingly constructed of some kind of jade. It is entirely white, with a pointed top and an arched entrance about three meters wide. Inside the arch, there is a blue light curtain that blocks the view.
