Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 24 Fortified Parchment

"Elite monsters with five times the attributes, that is to say, have at least [-] blood points, and I'm afraid they are much more difficult to deal with than gold coin monsters..."

Cheng Shen felt a little urgent.

Moreover, the attack time of the third wave of monsters was nine hours later. For the other survivors, it was already dawn at that time. However, he used the acceleration scroll to advance the refresh time of the next wave of monsters by three hours!
Before, he was glad that he didn't have to fight at night.

Now it seems that it is too early to be happy.

He first used the two defense tower blueprints.

After building the Tiangong Workshop, Cheng Shen happened to have two primary energy crystals left, and the special materials required by the Dark Abyss Tower and Wooden Rattan Tower: Abyss Stone and Wood Essence, can be purchased through the trading platform.

speak up.

Although he scored an S grade this time, he obtained a legendary talent.

But in fact, this did not give him the capital to continue to score S grades.

In the short term.

The income generated is not as good as the gold coin scroll rewarded in the first wave.

Tiangongfang can at least earn some resources.

However, Dameng can produce at most 10 ironware in an hour.

An iron utensil earns the profit of an iron ingot.

There are still five hours.

Earning resources are also quite limited.

As for the legendary talent.

It doesn't help at all.

Looking at the only ten gold coins, Cheng Shen's eyes turned red.

Poor!

Of course, he still has a lot of life-saving resources such as meat and safflower that can be exchanged.

But the resources that can be exchanged are just a drop in the bucket for him.

"You can't expect everything from Zhang Yao in return..."

Cheng Shen murmured.

His eyes drifted unconsciously to the well.

Intuition told him that the choice given by the system was both danger and opportunity, and the key to turning over might be hidden in that bucket of weird black water.

Energy control!

He muttered silently in his heart.

A ray of golden-red divine light shone in the depths of his eyes.

Suddenly, in his field of vision, colorful and shining light spots floated in the sky and the earth, some red, some green, some purple...

There are gray ones.

Like a thick mist, this kind of darkness filled every corner of the night, forming an impenetrable net that enveloped the entire world, and the world was rendered only gray and white.

Like a faded black and white movie.

Cheng Shen found that in this state, his sight could penetrate the darkness outside the territory to see farther.

He saw the black mist rising from the black figure standing in front of the territory, and the faces in the mist were biting each other. Every thin black thread wrapped around its body was actually a twisted bone hand. .

These arms kept digging at the gates and fences, making squeaky frictional noises, which made Cheng Shen's heart tug and pull. Fortunately, even if they scratched through the fences, they couldn't get into the protection range of the fire.

And farther away.

There are also seven figures of different heights, fat and thin, standing with their backs facing him in the forest. They are wearing ancient clothes. It is worth noting that each figure is missing a part of the body, and the missing positions are not the same.

It seems that it is used to piece together an invisible eighth person.

They are also approaching the territory.

More than one kind of weirdness!
"Is this a reminder issued by the system?"

Cheng Shen was sweating from the bottom of his heart.

He judged the approaching speed of the seven ghosts with the naked eye, and it only took about three nights to walk to his territory.

Although, he was looking forward to it, this unknown weirdness could fight to the death with the stitched face standing in front of the door of his territory now.

But thinking about it badly, if that happens, the biggest possibility is that there will be weird fights, and mortals will suffer, and he will be affected to death first...

Therefore, he must come up with a solution within three days, otherwise he may only have a dead end.

Cheng Shen turned his head to look at the well. There was also a thick black mist rising from the bucket of black water, but it was restricted by the flames at the mouth of the well and could not flow out.

Compared to the gray that envelops the world, this deep black mist is even more palpitating, as if it shouldn't exist in this world.

When his talent was turned on, his perception of energy seemed to increase countless times.

Can perceive some subtle reactions that cannot be detected normally.

For example, the scorching heat of the fire element, the coolness of the water element, the tenacity of the wood element, the sharpness of the gold element...

But he was unable to analyze the composition of this black energy.

confusion?

evil?

neither.

It was more like a deadly force that could annihilate all vitality.

"Is it really okay to touch this kind of thing..."

Cheng Shen gritted his teeth.

at this point.

He has no room to retreat.

Of course, he wasn't reckless, and Cheng Shen didn't even know how to control this cursed power.

However, there happened to be a cursed object on him that could be used as a reference.

Cheng Shen took out the sheepskin scroll.

In the gray and white world, the yellowed leather presents an uncharacteristically light golden color, and the jet-black lines carved on it seem to be printed with gold lacquer, forming a hexagram.

"It seems to be some kind of formation with a sealing effect..."

Cheng Shen looked at the center of the pattern, and thought of the dark imprint that spread like thick ink.

That dark trace should be an unknown curse power.

But was trapped in it by the golden lacquer-outlined formation.

but.

Parchment has a storage limit.

At most decades.

Cheng Shen could already see that the edge of the parchment was damaged and wrinkled.

Once it can no longer maintain its form, this cursed energy will be released sooner or later. Furthermore, if other cursed energy is injected, it will also aggravate the damage to the parchment, allowing the cursed power to be released early.

No wonder, although the effect of this dead man's contract is not very good, the system gives such a dangerous warning.

Emotion is a ticking time bomb that will be detonated at any time!
Cheng Shen was shocked.

and many more……

He suddenly moved in his heart.

Isn't the ability given to him by energy control just to change the material of the item?
perhaps,

He can try to strengthen the parchment...

But there are certain risks.

After all, there are still two completely different forces on this parchment scroll, if not done well, the collapse of the seal will be accelerated in advance.

however,
Can the worst situation be worse than it is now...

Just do it.

Cheng Shen didn't hesitate for too long.

He observed the sheepskin scroll and analyzed its structure. In his eyes, the entire sheepskin scroll was divided into four parts, the power of the seal, the power of the curse, the original matter, and a part of the water element arranged in an orderly structure.

raw material,
Refers to the original material that makes up an item itself.

Cheng Shen is still unable to analyze the composition of this material. Perhaps it can be explained by the atomic and molecular theory of physics. What he can only understand is that it is this raw material that absorbs elements and gathers to form an object.

Elements change the form of the original substance.

such as.

When the fire element condenses excessively, the original substance will burn, forming a flame, which is short and bright.When the two elements of wood and water are condensed at the same time, the original substance will be endowed with basic life and grow into towering giant trees or flowers and plants.

Including high-level beings, such as the composition of human beings.

is also like this.

It's just that it involves higher and more complex elemental components, which Cheng Shen still can't understand.

That's right.

Currently.

Cheng Shen had a feeling that as he raised the level of energy control, he would definitely be able to analyze the composition of advanced life.

Even shape life with your own hands!
so.

Cheng Shen believes that energy control is a power that can only be mastered by gods...

All this knowledge was instilled in him along with his talent.

It's a wonderful feeling.

It's like, he himself is a scholar who has studied in this industry for decades, Cheng Shen is not surprised that he has this knowledge, everything is so natural, as if he has really studied for many years.

……

The situation is much better than he imagined.

The power of the seal and the curse are all attached to the original substance, without having much impact on its own elemental structure.

And Cheng Shen also discovered that the key to the damage of the parchment is the aging and decline of some water elements. Elements are like cells in the human body, and they will also undergo the process of division, reproduction, aging and death.

The water element that made up the scrolls was dying.

Immediately, Cheng Shen absorbed a part of the new water element from the air, replacing the composition of the original structure.

in this process.

His mana began to drop at a faster rate than before.

It slipped to the bottom in a blink of an eye.

But the parchment in his hand was strangely as if it had gone back in time, the surface became smooth, and even the damaged edges were repaired as before.

[The quality of the contract of the dead has been improved! 】

[Energy control proficiency +15! 】

……

When the reminder came suddenly, the light in Cheng Shen's eyes gradually faded away. Regardless of the feeling of weakness that seemed to be draining his body, he looked at the scroll in surprise.

【Dead Contract】

【tool】

[Level: Excellent]

[Description: After use, two skeleton servants can be summoned. The skeleton servants only have low intelligence and are 100% loyal to the summoner. They can execute some simple instructions. The skeleton servants can evolve through fusion of cursed energy]

……

The sheepskin rolls that were originally of ordinary quality were promoted to excellent quality.

And the skeleton servants summoned by it can never be upgraded, and become: can evolve through the fusion of curse power.

this means,

The curse energy that the scrolls can withstand has been increased.

"I understand."

Cheng Shen suddenly realized.

The system wants him to use this parchment to absorb the cursed power in the black water and become a kind of weirdness that he can control, so as to fight against the weirdness outside the territory?
But there's something else that doesn't make sense.

The sheepskin scrolls were exchanged with others through the trading market after he obtained the legendary talent.

Could it be that this is also within the calculation of the system?

Cheng Shen is not sure whether the system has the ability to affect his thinking. If it is true, it would be terrible, indicating that he is no longer just a problem of involuntary control, but is always living under the control of the system.

therefore,

Whether true or false.

Cheng Shen was more willing to believe in the second guess.

That is, the system believes that with his existing resources, it is completely possible to create a prop similar to parchment.

What will it be……?
The material of the parchment roll is not special, it is a kind of animal skin, which is softened and dehydrated, not parchment paper processed by modern industry, so Cheng Shen discovered that the element that composes it is water element, not wood element.

If only a prop carrier is needed, then the scales of the Fiery Demon Lizard and the armor of the Unicorn Immortal should both be fine.

The point is, this golden substance used to describe the sealing circle.

Is it real gold?

Cheng Shen was thoughtful.

If it is gold, then there is only one possibility, the rare substance contained in gold coins - star gold.

Because the real gold in this world actually refers to a kind of pure gold.

Even the gold ingots are similar to red copper.

Only star gold is as bright as gold.

"...The cost seems a bit high."

Cheng Shen was speechless to himself.

According to the scale of this seal array, at least dozens of gold coins must be melted to extract it, and the cost is not usually high.

Moreover, Cheng Shen didn't know how much the cursed energy sealed by such a formation would have an effect on the weirdness outside the territory.

"I can only take a risk and try."
