Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 57 Beast King BOSS

A moment later, Lei Chi had collected 10 gold coins and went to the Challenge Hall to challenge the Beast King.

"Ding! You have chosen to challenge the [Beastmaster]. This hero has 24000 health and a fixed 20% physical and magical damage reduction. He will enter your [War Corridor] in three minutes. Please prepare your defense."

"Come on! Level six little beast king, let me see what makes this golden BOSS so powerful."

Lei Chi roared at the challenge panel.

Before long, light and mist surged within the [space-time wormhole], and a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist, wearing a wolf-head hat, a gray fur cloak, and carrying an axe in both hands, appeared.

"The beasts obey my command!"

He shouted first, then raised his two axes and struck a pose.

The defensive towers on both sides of the [War Corridor] don't hold back; no matter what kind of king he is, they attack immediately.

"Tiger's Roar, movement speed -24%!"

"-17! Poison gas ingested! Movement speed -8%!"

"-17! Lightning strike! Movement speed -64%!"

"-9! Cold air has entered the body, movement speed -24%!"

"-17!"

"-17!"

"-25!"

"-25!"

……

Numerous damage numbers appeared above the Beastmaster's head.

This [Beast King] is a Gold BOSS with a fixed 20% damage reduction, and even the slowing effect is weakened when it hits him.

"You vile beast!"

He cursed loudly, then slowly lifted his foot, taking several seconds before taking a step forward.

At this moment, the [Beast King] was subjected to four decelerations. Theoretically, its movement speed was only 16.63% of its original speed. Judging from its appearance, its average movement speed was probably only about 30 centimeters per second.

There aren't many ranged beast towers in Leichi, just two [Water Cannon Turtles], two [Rubber Ducks], two [Bloodthirsty Porcupines], one [White Dove], one [Green Snake], and one [Thunder Lizard].

These defensive towers focused their fire, dealing an average of 170-180 damage per second. The Beastmaster, who had barely moved 10 meters forward, had already lost more than 5,000 health points.

At this moment, he stopped, raised his double axes, and shouted, "Heed my call!"

He made a double-axe downward chopping motion, and the four large characters "Summon War Bear" appeared above his head.

The next moment, with a loud bang, a huge fat bear appeared out of thin air about two meters in front of the [Beast King].

"Woo!" the big fat bear roared, and then walked forward along the war corridor.

At that moment, Lei Chi received a system notification: "Ding, [Beast King] has released a skill, summoning a war bear. The war bear lasts for 120 seconds, has 20000 health, 6 armor, 6 magic resistance, and a movement speed of 1 meter per second!"

"Did you call for a baby?"

Lei Chi was startled, but then calmed down.

It's just a war bear that can only last for 120 seconds. It can only move one meter per second. Even if you let it run, it won't reach the end of the [War Corridor]. It will disappear halfway through and is not worth worrying about.

Even if it can share some of the damage for the Beastmaster, it's negligible.

The Beast Towers in Leichi, apart from prioritizing attacks on the [Great Green Serpent] which is not poisoned, completely ignored the War Bear and continued to lock onto and attack the [Beast King].

However, the Water Cannon Turtle's water cannonballs can be launched, and the Giant Rubber Duck and Giant White Dove have area-of-effect damage, which can also cause some damage to the big fat bear.

Generally speaking, if a defensive tower does not have a special attack mechanism, it can only switch to a new target after the target is killed or the target moves out of its range.

The Beastmaster summoned a war bear, but he paid a price. He stood there posing for several seconds, and when he started to move again, his health was reduced by more than a thousand.

After he walked forward nearly ten meters and was about to escape the range of the [Rubber Duck] and [White Dove], his health points had been reduced by half.

At this moment, he began to unleash his skills again. He first stood still, raised his two axes above his head, then squatted down, making a move that looked like he was about to do a standing long jump, and finally chopped the two axes into the ground.

Two meters in front of him, a wild boar the size of a water buffalo appeared.

"Ding! [Beastmaster] has unleashed a skill, summoning a war boar. This war boar will last for 90 seconds, with 12000 health, 6 armor, 6 magic resistance, and a movement speed of 1.5 meters per second!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Lei Chi thought to himself, "Why bother? It would be better not to summon it at all. The War Boar will definitely disappear before it can escape the War Corridor, while the Beast King, after unleashing a barrage of skills, lost nearly a thousand health points in just five or six seconds while still standing still."

Further on, the Beast King was no longer within range of the Giant Rubber Duck and the Giant White Dove, nor was he affected by the Tiger's Roar slowdown. However, the slowdown effects of the Thunder Lizard and the Giant Green Serpent were still present, and he continued to move forward in slow motion.

After walking about ten more meters, the Beast King's health dropped below 6,000, and it stopped again.

"All beasts stampede, destroying everything!"

He shouted and changed his posture this time, with one foot forward and the other back, his left hand holding the axe pointing forward without moving, while his right hand gestured forward as if directing traffic.

"Go, go, go!"

He shouted.

Lei Chi received another system notification: "Ding! The Beast King has used the skill 'Ten Thousand Beasts Stampede,' which will summon ten thousand lizard behemoths within ninety seconds. These lizard behemoths possess one hundred times the Beast King's level in health and will emerge from the spacetime wormhole, rushing towards the camp square at a speed of ten meters per second!"

"Good heavens, it's like a stampede of beasts!"

Lei Chi was slightly startled.

At this moment, as the [Beast King] directed traffic, countless lizard behemoths emerged from the spacetime wormhole. They were as big as buffaloes, and surged out like a raging tidal wave.

The sheer force of their attack was terrifying, as if the entire War Corridor was being shaken by their presence.

The melee beast towers, including the Big Tiger, the Giant Turtle, and the Pat-Pat Bear, finally got busy, launching a barrage of attacks.

"Good heavens, 10,000 lizard behemoths in 90 seconds, that's over 100 per second! This is like releasing a floodgate!"

Lei Chi frowned, thinking to himself that the BOSS challenge was indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, he still had Jingyang Ridge, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to stop so many lizard behemoths from charging over.

In reality, the Beastmaster was killed after only about 40 seconds of continuous summoning.

With their deaths, the stampede of beasts ceased, and no new lizard behemoths appeared from the [space-time wormhole].

The surging lizard behemoths rushing into Jingyang Ridge were like a stone thrown into the sea; with only 600 health points, they were no match for the tiger, and not one of them could break through.

Before long, Lei Chi heard a pleasant system notification: "Ding, congratulations on successfully challenging and defeating the LV6 Gold BOSS [Beast King], completing the challenge mission. Rewards are being generated and calculated..."

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 600 gold coins and one [Heart of a Giant Beast] (rare). Please go to the Challenge Hall to claim your reward."

"Ding! A new challenge boss has appeared in the Challenge Hall: the LV20 Gold Boss [Beast King], awaiting your challenge!"

"Another level 20 Beastmaster has spawned, we can't beat him!"

Lei Chi went to collect the reward again, thinking to himself that the reward was quite ordinary. It seemed that the [Heart of the Giant Beast] was an upgrade material for the [Thunder Giant Beast], which should be considered a rare item.

With 600 gold coins in hand, Lei Chi also spent some money. He bought 100 laying hens at the chicken farm, harvested 100 eggs, and then went to the city defense center, spending 100 gold coins to upgrade the city defense center to LV2.

"I need to stand up for myself. We still need to develop. Insurance fraud is just a means to an end; becoming stronger is the goal."

Lei Chi pondered silently.
