Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 309 Mist City Mirage
"call……"

Cheng Shen and Govia held their breath and moved forward slowly.

In the mist, groups of lost people with their limbs intertwined in various strange postures hurried past.This is due to their characteristics, once in contact with the target, they will not separate and cause a strange phenomenon.

They merged into one bloated fusion body after another, like a scavenger in the mist, devouring all life in its path.

Besides.

The scream of the human face flower also attracted a lot of messy things.

Boom!
Boom!
The white urn danced in the mist, and every time it hit the ground, it made a loud noise; the fracture was rotten and pitch-black, and there was a giant palm the size of a round table, with five fingers swishing and crawling on the ground;
There is also a giant fish monster with a pair of transparent wings, withered flesh and blood, floating and moving, and a strange light is shining in the cloudy and white eyes;

The horror and weirdness of nightmares.

At this moment, everything appeared in the eyes of Cheng Shen and Govia.

Among the unspeakable horrors he saw something familiar...

vampire?
Werewolf?

sheep?
What's so scary about these things...

No, they correspond to the psychology of a certain person, or under the background of some special eras, they will indeed become the shadow of a generation.

Cheng Shen even saw a zombie.

That's right.

It's the kind with the blue face and fangs in ancient official robes...

He has already guessed that this nightmare space probably reflects some of the most feared things in the hearts of everyone in this world.Not limited to monsters, there are many abstract and strange unexplainable existences.

This could not help but cause Cheng Shen to think deeply.

What is he... afraid of?
If it is said that the only thing he was afraid of before coming to the game world, it might be Ah Piao.But after mastering supernatural powers, he learned that ghosts are nothing but spirits and souls, which can also be killed.

As for the more terrifying weirdness.

Also, the more you understand, the more you can face it calmly.

Cheng Shen was very curious about how the fear in his heart would manifest in this space...

"almost……"

After finally escaping from the area surrounded by monsters, Govia winked at Cheng Shen again and again.

Cheng Shen checked the surroundings to make sure there were no monsters, and then put down the package. The huge flower buds no longer screamed at this moment, and the dark lines condensed in the brightly colored petals showed an unstable illusion.

"One knife, two halves?"

Cheng Shen was a little hesitant while holding the knife.

The most precious part of the human face flower is the top bud, and the second most valuable part is its blood.But the preciousness of the bud lies in its integrity. If it is broken, its value and storage time will be greatly shortened.

"Give me the next one when you catch it."

Govia's generous proposal helped him solve this problem.

"Alright."

Cheng Shen nodded.

The hunting attempt just now also let him know the effect of the ointment on the human face flower.Save some of the remaining ointments, if all goes well, you should still be able to catch seven or eight human face flowers.

It must not be so easy to complete Yunus' mission in one day.

He looked at the human-faced flower in front of him, and after hesitating, he stretched out his hand and pulled off a petal. The bright red petals quickly faded away from the bud, and became dull and shriveled. Cheng Shen directly threw it into his mouth and began to chew quickly.

"hiss……"

There was a tingling pain in his mouth, and the strong corrosiveness of the human face flower made him feel like he was chewing a bunch of thorns with a foul smell.

Govia was dumbfounded.

"That's not how it's used..."

She tried to explain to Cheng Shen the function of the human face flower, but when she thought that he knew the environment better than herself, she immediately shut up, and then looked at Cheng Shen expectantly, hoping that he would bring a new surprise.

"Goo...!"

It took Cheng Shen a lot of effort to swallow the chew that was mixed with his own blood. The burning sensation went down the esophagus and fell into the stomach.

He frowned and endured the pain.

After a while.

A complex stream of information suddenly flooded his memory.

"The medicinal properties of the human face flower..."

Become!

Cheng Shen's expression softened.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised that the passive skills of life professions can still take effect.

And this made him certain of one thing.

This nightmare world is not a fictional space that exists in his consciousness, but a piece of deep space puzzle belonging to the main world.The power of the system is not unable to take effect, but is blocked by other forces.

But obviously it didn't shield it very thoroughly...

All the information about the special monster of the human face flower came to Cheng Shen's mind. He felt it for a moment, then turned to look at Govia, "No one in the nightmare residents fully understands the growth characteristics of the human face flower, right?"

"Not everyone can deal with such a terrifying thing..." Govia half-spoken, and explained in detail: "Except for Yunus, the human face flower is not worth much to others, and the risk is not directly proportional to the reward."

"But that's just what I know."

She said strictly.

"That's good."

Cheng Shen rewrapped the buds on the ground and said, "I'll take you to a place, maybe you'll get something unexpected." Although he was asking for advice, Govia had no other choice.

After distinguishing in the vast fog, Cheng Shen took Govia and started to move in one direction.

Visibility in the fog is about 40 meters.

This distance is enough for two people to detect danger and avoid it in advance.And Govia's experience in exploring the fog is much richer than what she introduced, which helped a lot.

Especially at such an important juncture related to her life and death...

"Where are you taking me?"

Govia finally couldn't help asking after wandering aimlessly for half an hour.

Cheng Shen squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, put it between his nose and sniffed it, and then dug down, a dark red soon appeared in the grayish-yellow soil.

"almost."

He patted the dirt off his hands, nodded subtly and said.

For so long.

The surrounding environment has undergone great changes.

From the plain at the beginning, there are low bushes half a person's height everywhere, but these vegetation have been eroded by the power of nightmares, the growth is twisted and deformed, charred and dry, like charred corpses.

The color of the soil on the ground gradually becomes darker.

Moreover, Govia was keenly aware that the surrounding terrain was constantly rising, which was not obvious at first, but when the two of them crossed the boundary line between the gray and dark red strata, the front suddenly became steeper.

Pieces of stone pillars with uneven surfaces stand on the ground, like distorted human bodies. The dark red vines are like the blood vessels of this land, intertwined, spreading and intertwined, and can be seen everywhere.

rumbling...

Govia was astonished to see the two faces entangled with each other and rolled down not far away.

Just like...

Two beast cubs are playing.

"us……"

Govia tried to say something to ease the shock in her heart.

"Shh..."

Cheng Shen immediately made a gesture of silence, and lowered his voice, "This is the lair where the human face flower grows. We will set up traps here to attract them to kill them. It should be no problem to get the rest within a day."

"Human face flower still has a nest?!"

Govia's eyes widened.

"Otherwise, do you think they popped out of rocks?"

Cheng Shen gave her a strange look.

Say it.

He stepped back a little and hid the buds of the human face flower before.

This thing is as big as a washbasin and weighs more than ten kilograms, so it is very inconvenient to carry around.

After that, Cheng Shen continued to set up food traps in the same way as before.

He winked at Govia, "You are still in charge of attracting monsters. Be careful not to touch those red veins. They are the reproductive rhizomes of Kao. If you wake it up, neither of us can escape."

After hearing this, Govia's already hesitant expression became even more hesitant. She rubbed her hands and said, "You know this place so well, why don't you change your job..."

"My back hurts...it hurts so much that I can't move..."

Her complexion changed suddenly.

"I want to save my strength and run away with you."

Cheng Shen said calmly.

"you……"

His high-sounding reason made Govia unable to refute, so she could only grit her teeth with hatred and leave as if resigned to her fate. Cheng Shen set up the temptation trap and looked at her back with calm eyes, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

……

"coming!"

Panting, Govia once again lured a human face flower to the food trap, and Cheng Shen had laid in ambush at the side, and when the human face flower swallowed the ointment and fell into a coma, he immediately rushed out and cut off the flower bud with a knife .

Pfft!

The black juice sprayed on the ground, corroding the ground, exposing a piece of white bones.

Cheng Shen skillfully packed the buds into a net bag woven from thorns and roots, and counted them with his eyes.

"24."

"Almost!"

Govia on the side was panting, her hair on the temples and forehead was already wet with sweat, and it was disheveled, and the white and thin long dress was also soaked, clinging to her skin, revealing her thin figure.

But Cheng Shen was not interested in taking a peek at her long-term malnourished shriveled figure, and nodded, "That's fine."

He cut two rhizomes from the human face flower's corpse, inserted them into the net bag, sealed the opening, and then yanked the handle wrapped with cloth strips vigorously, and eased the bag of loot weighing nearly three hundred kilograms. Drag slowly.

creak...

A few round stones with irregular shapes rotated at the bottom of the plank woven with thorns and roots, greatly reducing Cheng Shen's burden.

Of course, Govia was not idle during the time when Govia was busy attracting monsters. This simple trailer was the result of his labor.

Otherwise, no matter how much loot you have harvested, it will be a problem if you can't take it back.

"This is the end?"

Govia took a heavy breath.

"Well, first help you find herbs."

Cheng Shen said.

Govia didn't seem to care about her life at this moment, and turned her head to the strange rocky forest unwillingly, and said, "Didn't you say that there might be unexpected gains? You don't want to prepare to take it for yourself!"

Cheng Shen glanced at her, and said in a neither happy nor angry tone: "The sleeping ointment has been used up, if you want to use your life to lure that flower king out to fulfill me, of course it is not impossible."

Govia ignored his taunt.

asked:

"What's in the lair?"

"do not know."

"Oh, stingy!"

Govia naturally wouldn't believe his words, but she didn't want to miss out on this benefit, so she hurriedly said, "Then let's continue working together tomorrow! If you can satisfy me, I will consider telling you who is the real ghost!"

"..."

Cheng Shen turned his head and looked at her with a calm expression. His cold eyes made Govia's heart beat wildly, and a sharp knife slipped quietly from his palm.

Only then did she see Cheng Shen nodded slowly.

"it is good."

Govia only thought that Cheng Shen was reminding them of their real relationship, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, trying to smile awkwardly, but she held it back.

The scene fell silent.

Cheng Shen took out the lump of dirt in the small town and put it in his hands to feel it. He dragged the cart on his shoulders, listening to the creaking sound of the rough bearings.

On the road.

He followed the pre-marked spots and picked all the useful herbs.

The chill emanating from the soil in the palm of his hand was already very strong.

mean.

They are getting closer and closer to the direction of the town.

"So you've already figured it out!"

Govia watched Cheng Shen pick the next bunch of herbs, some of which they had seen before when they came, but Cheng Shen didn't pick them on purpose, just to force her to cooperate to capture the human face flower, she couldn't help cursing secretly .

Cheng Shen ignored her, and carefully judged the road in front of him, trying to walk on a flat place so as not to damage the trailer.

As long as you can return to the town, the trailer's mission will be considered accomplished.

call!
Thick fog gradually rose around.

From when the change occurred to when the two of them realized something was wrong, in less than a second, the dense fog had already compressed the field of vision to two meters in front of them.

"what happened!?"

Govia became alert, and quickly approached Cheng Shen. After a series of changes, Cheng Shen's safe and reliable image had been deeply ingrained in her heart, so that she made a subconscious choice when facing danger.

"I should ask you this sentence..."

Cheng Shen let go of the trailer, took the Nightmare Blade in his hand, and reached into his arms with the other hand to take out a paper bag.

"Didn't you say the ointment was used up!?"

Govia glared at him.

"You talk more nonsense."

Cheng Shen took a look at her, and left a pack of ointment as a spare, so as to avoid accidents on the way back, isn't it a normal choice?He still prefers Govia's rebellious and calm judgment at the beginning.

"What men say is indeed a lie! No, it's a lie!"

Govia gritted her teeth.

"Shh..."

Cheng Shen told her to be quiet. Changes in the surroundings had already begun to appear. The thick fog suddenly surged over and completely engulfed the two of them, and then quickly and strangely subsided, but the surrounding environment had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

I do not know when the neat stone bricks were paved under the feet, and pieces of broken walls covered with moss appeared on the originally empty plain.

Whispers came from the ear, and there seemed to be countless blurry figures walking in the mist outside the field of vision. The shadowy scene seemed to be separated by a hazy curtain, making people feel as if they were in another world, and they seemed to be in it.

Govia had already thought of something.

His complexion suddenly turned pale.

"Fog Mirage!"

She doesn't have any information about the fog and mirage, which is why the most terrifying threat in the gray fog area is daunting. No one who has experienced the fog and mirage can walk out alive!
