Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 261 Devil's Contract (22)

The omen brought by the giant eagle made Cheng Shen speed up a series of actions.

He originally planned to arrange this group of goblins in the ruins of the temple first, but he was afraid that the building would cause them traumatic stress disorder.

Simply.

Cheng Shen directly took out an order hub and built a new territory.

This hub of order was acquired by him before. After the trade market was built, some survivors gave up the management territory, joined other people's territory forces through the market, and became a free adventurer.

Territories not destroyed by monsters can be recycled through the system.

Reverted to the hub of order.

Arguably.

The price of a Nexus of Order is extremely precious to survivors.

But because Cheng Shen changed the living pattern of these survivors, he accelerated the process of market construction.

As a result, the number of survivors now far exceeds that of previous batches.

In the past, when some survivors raised their territory to level three and opened the trade market, there might not be many survivors left.

And the remaining people will not give up the well-developed territory easily.

therefore.

The number of order hubs in circulation is quite rare.

Basically, it can only be obtained with a very small probability by invading the Chaos Lord.

But in Cheng Shen's batch, many people have the opportunity to choose.

To acquire this Nexus of Order, he only paid for a set of rare equipment.

In addition, he also reserves an extra one.

[Do you want to build a subsidiary territory? 】

……

The blue light ball in Cheng Shen's hand shone brightly on the woodland in front of him.

"Yes!"

The roar from the ground echoed his affirmation, and a hut with a simple courtyard slowly rose from the ground.

[The subsidiary territory has been built! 】

[Permissions have been synchronized! 】

[You can set managers for this territory! 】

……

Cheng Shen didn't do anything, and first proposed a batch of materials from the territory to upgrade the central building level of this subsidiary territory to level three.

Tertiary territory.

In order to accommodate the huge population of this goblin group.

Immediately afterwards, a number of luxurious dwellings were built for the goblins to live in.

——The effect of luxury residences is not only reflected in the recruitment, but the ordinary residents living in it will also gradually increase their attributes over time.

Having this batch of ready-made goblins also saved him a batch of food needed for recruitment.

"You will live here first, food, tools, I will provide you, but you have to understand that none of this is free."

Cheng Shen said bluntly to Weiman.

"understand!"

Weiman looked at everything in front of him and was still unsatisfied.

The wide world.

Comfortable residence.

And the food that is being delivered in trucks and trucks.

"Is that flour? That's vegetables!?"

Weiman, who has been eating almost only one kind of food for decades, has his eyes straight.

Not only him, those goblins who seemed to be fleeing from famine behaved even more unbearably, and their eyes began to turn green.

If it weren't for the deterrence of heavily armed soldiers, there might have been a lot of looting.

Even in this territory, the trees that have not been cleared are a bit dense, which hinders the vision, but the surviving goblins are not completely helpless patients, and it is not difficult to cut down a tree.

"Whatever you need us to do, just tell us!"

Wayman said immediately.

"You first compile a list of personnel and give me as soon as possible."

Cheng Shen said.

"Among them, those who can participate in labor are marked with the fields they are good at. What I need most are talents in scientific research."

he stressed.

Hearing Cheng Shen's intentions, Weiman patted his chest and said confidently: "Our goblins are all geniuses who are proficient in research!"

Of course Cheng Shen did not deny his words.

However, he has been enslaved for hundreds of years and severely restricted his development. Only he knows how much water is in his words.

Cheng Shen didn't break it either.

At least, their research level on the bright side is worth his effort.

Heal first.

Cheng Shen took out all the healing items in the territory, the first-ring magic purification, and the second-ring magic healing light wave. The combination of these two magics can basically cure most of the goblins' diseases and restore them to health.

The abyssal pollution in their bodies can only be healed gradually through long-term body metabolism.

Cheng Shen specially formed a medical team to take charge of this matter.

Come down at your leisure.

He awakened the clone consciousness left in the underground world.

……

A blood-red terrifying environment gradually became clear.

Cheng Shen twisted his stiff neck.

Look around.

The passage behind the slaughterhouse showed no signs of being invaded.

An hour has passed, is it possible that the mysterious force's revenge hasn't arrived yet?

He controlled the clone to stand up.

Cheng Shen was already prepared to sacrifice this clone, and the strength of the remaining consciousness was not high. At this time, it was somewhat laborious to control this body that contained huge blood energy.

But the impact is not too serious.

Really fight.

He only needs to let the clone disintegrate into a blood river or blood mist form, and rely on burning blood poison and septic blood frenzy to deal output.

Self-operation is not important.

This division basically serves as a control and activation effect.

Walking down the steps, the dark river ahead is still flowing smoothly as before.

But Cheng Shen soon realized something was wrong.

There are fewer coffins.

There were at least hundreds of black coffins floating in the dark river, and they were connected together in a mighty way. Suddenly, dozens of coffins were missing, which was hard to be noticed.

However, Cheng Shen was used to recording all the details.

He suddenly took two steps back.

He lowered his head and carefully observed the edge of the steps that had been corroded into black at his feet.

Some slender and wet footprints can be vaguely seen on it.

Like,

As if something had tried to crawl out of the water.

"Is the thing in the coffin alive?"

Cheng Shen guessed.

The remains of the ancestors of those abandoned temples have been rotted long ago, leaving only a handful of bones and dregs, have they all been awakened?

Something must have happened here just now...

call!
A fine drop of blood seeped out of his body, fell into the air, and quickly disintegrated into misty mist. Then, the area covered by the blood mist began to expand at an astonishingly rapid rate, forming a haze that covered the sky and the sun in a blink of an eye.

Fog tides cling to the cave and rush across the dark river.

this time.

The monster in the river did not appear.

There were only black skeleton faces floating silently under the water, as if waiting to drag someone into the water for the dead, silently.

Cheng Shen ignored them.

Float directly towards the bone hall in the distance.

just close.

He then noticed that there were a large number of wet footprints scattered on the ground in front of the temple. The black liquid flowing in the footprints seemed to be corrosive, eroding the ground into deep pits, and twisted creatures were still wriggling in the pits.

"After I left, the monster in the dark river seems to have sent a unit to check here..."

Cheng Shen made a note of this in his heart.

Go deeper.

He saw that the dark footprints only stayed at the entrance of the hall, so he didn't come any closer.

It was as if an invisible force stopped it.

However, Cheng Shen was sure that there were no other formations in this bone hall other than his arrangement.

The only thing that can stop it is the influence of an external factor...

The blood mist gradually seeped into the hall, and Cheng Shen carefully checked every corner.

The first thing he went to was the top floor where the treasure house was placed.

"Huh? The formation has been triggered!"

Cheng Shen looked around.

Immediately.

A pool of transparent liquid that was melting into the cracks in the ground appeared in front of his eyes.

Cheng Shen stretched out his hand and picked up a wisp of transparent liquid, which had a slippery gelatinous texture. He couldn't see the attributes, and he hadn't received any kill prompts.

It appears to be the inadvertent residue of a creature.

Inferred from distance.

It is likely that when the monster tried to destroy the formation, it was blown away by the attack of the formation, fell here, and then splashed on the ground...

Cheng Shen could already imagine that scene in his mind.

After checking the treasure house, he was even more sure of this, the monster was indeed blocked by the formation.

Cheng Shen was not surprised.

The formation he arranged at will can reach the second level, and it is more than enough to destroy ordinary lord units.

If you don't have a certain strength and want to forcefully break the formation, you will only be killed by the power of the formation.After the monster tried once, it didn't make another move.

Still relatively smart.

layer.

In the side hall where the pool was built, Cheng Shen found similar traces again, transparent mucus remained on the edge of the pool, and there was a psychic boat in the pool, but now it is gone.

"This monster came ashore from here..."

Cheng Shen concluded.

The pool was surrounded by stone walls on all sides, but he had personally seen the strange man trying to escape by boarding the boat.

Naturally, there is no doubt that this pool has a strange teleportation ability.

However, the other psychic ship was still on Cheng Shen's body, and he had no choice but to try it now.

After a short stay, Cheng Shen controlled the blood mist to rush towards the underground palace.

puff……

It took about ten seconds for him to leave the side hall.

With a soft sound, a transparent circle of light slowly dissipated in midair.

Transparent mucus is flowing all over the body, and the head is extremely huge, covered with mushroom-like raised monsters emerging from it.

Its swollen and narrowed eyes looked at the direction Cheng Shen was leaving with a pair of blue eyes, as if scenes flashed by.

"Guru?"

A string of bubbles rose from the translucent head like a liquid.

"Gollum!"

It seemed to be communicating with a certain existence, floating in place, and made a strange noise from time to time. After a while, a black and red envelope suddenly squeezed out of its body, and fell danglingly to the ground.

Followed by.

It turned around and floated into the pool, quickly sank to the bottom and disappeared.

"It's a scout-like creature."

Half of Cheng Shen's head suddenly squeezed out from the ceiling, looking coldly at the place where the monster disappeared.

He had already discovered this monster when he first entered the side hall.

Even if his avatar cannot activate the power of energy control, how can the pervasive blood mist ignore the existence of such a large piece of foreign matter?
It's just that Cheng Shen didn't alert it hastily because he realized that it was weak and didn't look like a thug waiting to attack him.

immediately.

The blood mist fell.

Roll up the envelope on the ground and send it to Cheng Shen.

The envelope seemed to have been soaked in blood for a long time, it had been blackened by the blood, the paper was old, and a mass of ever-changing red ink was like flowing blood plasma, with a strange mark faintly outlined on it.

【Devil's Invitation Letter】

……

Cheng Shen could only see such a name through the system.

After thinking about it, his body is just a clone, and any attack will not affect the main body.

Cheng Shen reached out to take the envelope without much hesitation and opened it directly.

A half-torn yellowed page appeared in the envelope, and when it was pulled out, the writing on it was clearly displayed.

"No matter who you are and what purpose you destroyed here, when you read this letter, it means that the transaction between us can continue, and in return you will get the power of the gods..."

……

The mutation had already begun when Cheng Shen took out the letter paper.

The blood-red font on the letter paper twisted like tadpoles, and then gradually turned into a somewhat familiar but completely incomprehensible handwriting.

Cheng Shen only glanced at it and recalled it instantly.

This is the devil text!
Words with a similar style appeared in the materials he searched in the Bone Hall before!

The ghost letters quickly flew out of the letter paper and attached to Cheng Shen's hand. Cheng Shen subconsciously wanted to throw away the letter paper, but unexpectedly, the broken half of the letter paper was also strange, and it was tightly adhered to his fingers.

With those devil texts hidden under his skin.

call!
The yellowed page suddenly burst into flames.

The above content became complete, and it was a contract signed with his real name "Cheng Shen" and another strange name!

The contract quickly burned to ashes.

A system prompt sounds.

【warn!You have made a pact with a devil! 】

……

Even the prompts given by the system are warnings, which shows how serious the harm of this devil's contract is.

But Cheng Shen was a little puzzled.

He just glanced at it, and didn't even know what the devil's proposed deal was.

Why did you suddenly sign a contract?
It's not that he hasn't used the contract before, but it can only be signed after the consent of both parties.

A signed contract is a legal contract.

however.

This devil's contract actually broke the rules defined by the system!

He checked his status, and a striking mark appeared on his character panel.

[Devil's contract: Passive, you need to meet some requirements from the devil, but you will definitely get the same amount of reward as you paid]

……

Just look at this description.

It seems that this so-called devil's contract is quite fair and reasonable.

However, based on Cheng Shen's experience, he simply shouldn't be too sensitive to the word trap in this contract.

First of all, just one must meet the requirements of the devil, and it can trap people to death!
"The ability of this race is really hard to guard against."

Cheng Shen frowned secretly.

Arjieka introduced the devil to be so terrifying and cunning, he undoubtedly has a deep understanding now.

"This account, I wrote it down."

Cheng Shen nodded.

Although he didn't know how he was tricked and forced to sign the contract, that devil should never have done it. He shouldn't have thought that he could be manipulated so easily, and he shouldn't have exposed his real name.

The brilliance in the eyes quickly dissipated.

Following that, Cheng Shen's entire body quickly disintegrated like a sandcastle without support.

However, his collapsed body did not turn into a river of blood and spread. In order to avoid raising a terrifying flesh and blood monster in this environment full of pollution and distortion, Cheng Shen directly wiped out the life fluctuations of this body.
