Chapter 024 Mutation of the Animal Trap
The bear trap is also a level 1 defensive tower, and it can be completely transformed into a tower.
Li Hanqiang dared not risk the Sword Tower, much less attack the Flame Tower. After much deliberation, he was still unwilling to destroy two basic arrow towers in a row, so he steeled his heart and decided to turn it into a beast trap.
"Come on, let's explode!"
Li Hanqiang shouted, displaying a "what the heck" mentality.
"System notification: Respected Lord of Chaos City, you have used [Tower Transformation] on the beast trap. The defensive tower will undergo mutation. Mutation in progress..."
"Ding! Mutation successful! The bear trap has mutated into Beast Hunter, with enhanced abilities. Congratulations, player!"
"What? Beast Hunter?" Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. He saw the steel-toothed beast trap beside him twist and change rapidly, and then vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a red pattern the size of a square table. The pattern contained the character "侠" (hero), and the whole thing looked like an abstract smiling face.
[Beast Tamer LV1: Special Defense Tower, Level 1 Mutant Tower, Current Experience 0/100. The Beast Tamer can capture any beast units that pass by. The success rate depends on the Beast Tamer's level and the target. Beasts captured by the Beast Tamer will lose their ability to move and continuously lose health until they die (elite and BOSS-level monsters can break free). The Beast Tamer gains experience each time a target is successfully captured. When enough experience is gained, the Beast Tamer will level up and become more powerful. Upon reaching level 10, the Beast Tamer will evolve into a Level 2 Mutant Tower.]
"This is... a defense tower that can be upgraded and evolved!" Li Hanqiang's gloom vanished instantly. The bear trap had become a bear-catching hero. This was amazing.
"200 gold coins and 30 points of Chaos Energy for this Beast Hunter? It's definitely worth it! I, Li Hanqiang, make a living with my looks, and I'm not just a name without substance!" Li Hanqiang laughed heartily. Now, all he wanted to do was start the fourth wave of monster siege and see the power of this Beast Hunter.
However, to be on the safe side, he ultimately decided to wait until Dark Night Redemption was released before starting it. With this legendary professional guarding the city, it would be absolutely safe.
With nothing else to do, Li Hanqiang returned to Bibo Pond to fish using his auto-fishing machine.
A moment later, the big buyer came to buy more goods. His level was still 2, which showed that he was determined to be a merchant.
Li Hanqiang paid him the subsidy. Anyway, he wouldn't lose a penny. Every time a big business came, he would also provide him with 50 silver coins for the entrance fee.
More than an hour later, Dark Night Redemption finally logged on, and Li Hanqiang immediately sent him a message, asking him to come and defend the city.
"Great! The official events are out, we have to level up!" Dark Night Redemption readily agreed.
Without further hesitation, Li Hanqiang immediately initiated the fourth wave of monster attacks. Fanfeng and Dianhu were still fishing in Bibo Lake when they were kicked out. A new wave of monster attacks had begun, and they would have to buy another ticket to teleport over.
"Mission Notice: City Lord Li Hanqiang of Chaos City No. 68 has issued a city defense mission. Blackthorn Baby Turtle LV1, tamed, rideable, amphibious, can grow into Blackthorn Turtle and Blackthorn Giant Turtle, possesses elite monster model..."
In the mission announcement, Li Hanqiang directly posted the Blackthorn Baby Turtle's attribute information, which is definitely a good one.
In less than five minutes, Dark Night Redemption was the first to arrive, followed closely by Fanfeng and Tinder. To Li Hanqiang's delight, light began to fall from the sky, and after about ten minutes, the Chaos Slab was completely filled.
"Dude, where are the black-spined tortoise hatchlings?"
"I came to see the black-spined baby tortoise. Is this mount for sale...?"
The players were shouting that there were twelve players from the twelve Chaos Tablets. Not counting Dark Night Redemption and Fan of Fire, seven of the remaining nine were knights. They were undoubtedly attracted by the Blackthorn Baby Turtle's attribute information.
As for the remaining two, they turned out to be a top-tier celebrity and Zhen Dejun.
"Welcome to Chaos City No. 68! I am City Lord Li Hanqiang. The fourth wave of monster attacks is about to begin. Everyone, get ready!" Li Hanqiang shouted triumphantly from mid-air.
"Hey, I'm here to see the Blackthorn Baby Tortoises, not to defend the city!" a knight player shouted, and the other players joined in.
Li Hanqiang touched his nose and said, "I'm sorry everyone, the Blackthorn Baby Turtle has been bought by Emperor Tianhe, the guild leader of the Tianhe Guild."
"What? You bought it? Then why did you post the Blackthorn Baby Turtle's stats in the city defense mission notice? Are you trying to fool us?"
"Exactly! I spent a whole gold coin on this, and you're not giving me a black-spined baby turtle? Give me my money back!"
"Refund! Refund!"
"If you don't refund our money, we'll rebel!"
"Yes, if you don't refund our money, we won't fight the monsters, and we'll make sure you fail to defend the city..."
"What's all the fuss about? I'm the invincible city lord, who am I afraid of?" Li Hanqiang didn't care about the players' shouts. He quickly adjusted the city defense positions, placing melee characters in the front, Dark Night Redemption in the middle, and ranged characters in the back. Then he silently ended the preparations, and the spacetime wormhole in the distance immediately tore open.
A regional announcement sounded, signaling the start of the fourth wave of monster siege, and a large pack of mountain wolves appeared.
[Forest Wolf, LV10, Health 900-1100, Marching speed 3 meters per second, steals 1 point of Chaos Energy per wolf.]
Finally, I'm no longer a pig!
Li Hanqiang glanced at the small, calf-sized forest wolf and felt completely at ease. This mere forest wolf could only move 3 meters per second. A single Flame Tower was its only weapon. Only the forest wolf with the highest health could break through the Flame Tower's fire range, but even then, it would only be left with a sliver of health. There would be Sword Towers to finish it off later. It was a perfect defense.
"Let's fight monsters and gain experience!" Li Hanqiang shouted. "Anyone who doesn't is a fool!"
Upon seeing the mountain wolves appear, the players defending the city abandoned their fight with Li Hanqiang and immediately drew their weapons.
The two flammable stick-wielders were at the forefront, setting the best example, shouting and waving their longswords like windmills...
Li Hanqiang's attention was focused on the Beast Catcher, and he soon saw the first mountain wolf fall victim to the trap.
As soon as the mountain wolf kicked the image of the Beast Hunter, four small animal traps immediately sprang up from the ground, biting the mountain wolf's four legs like the mouths of crocodiles. Then, a strange chuckle rang out, and a large net appeared out of thin air, covering the mountain wolf from above.
"-30", "-15"...
The damage numbers appeared, and the mountain wolf quickly vanished in a flash of light. In return, the Beast Hunter gained some experience points.
"One mountain wolf gives you a little experience, so if I kill a hundred mountain wolves, this animal trap will be upgraded to LV2?" Li Hanqiang was full of anticipation, but he leisurely walked into the Bibo Pool.
With the front lines as stable as Mount Tai, there was no point in him, the Lord of Chaos City, staying here. So he decided to go to the Azure Wave Pool to AFK fish.
As a city lord, one should be able to strategize and win battles from afar. Li Hanqiang felt that he could sit back and relax.
He still had a special monster summoning token, but having learned his lesson, he wasn't in a hurry to use it and planned to use it last.
"Hi!"
A sweet voice suddenly rang out. Li Hanqiang looked down and saw that the A-list celebrity was waving at him.
