Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 339 Ancient Soldier

"That giant bear might know about the Banshee, but this matter is not the top priority right now..."

Cheng Shen weighed it in his heart.

But it is easy to know the function of this cursed object.

After taking back the two cursed objects, he held the candle in his hand, and within a short while, a cold and dead breath emanated from the candle.

Cheng Shen suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes.

He frowned slightly and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

But when he lowered his head and was about to look at the candle in his hand, a cold and dead figure quietly appeared at the edge of his vision.

Cheng Shen immediately turned his head to look.

However, that figure disappeared in an instant.

laugh……

The hot wax dripped onto his hands as the candle wick burned, and solidified into white greasy grease.

The burning pain caused by the high temperature did not distract Cheng Shen.

After a little thought, he had a guess in his mind, and his raised head slowly drooped down. When his viewing angle tilted to a certain angle, that strange figure appeared in his line of sight without a sound.

He looked at it out of the corner of his eye.

It was a headless corpse wearing broken battle armor. Its body was covered with scars from knives and swords. There were several sharp arrows sticking out of its back. It held a broken gun in one hand and a piece of flesh and blood in the other. Fuzzy head.

Dark red blood slowly dripped from the broken neck.

But those bloodstains can only be seen from Cheng Shen's perspective at this moment, and what he sees seems to be an illusory scene.

laugh……

Another piece of hot wax dripped on his hand.

He immediately saw a farmer in sackcloth walking out behind the headless corpse. There was a slanted wound between the farmer's chest and abdomen, and colorful intestines mixed with internal organs were dragged on the ground.

Behind the farmer, a woman who had been cut in half climbed out, and a young man who was pierced by a spear walked out...

As the erosion of the corpse oil candles continued to deepen, Cheng Shen saw more and more dead people. He seemed to be witnessing a massacre in progress. Well-armed soldiers rushed into the farm and killed everyone they saw.

"The effect of this cursed thing is to drive these weird..."

Cheng Shen soon realized.

While being corroded by corpse oil candles, he also gained these weird controls.

He can designate a target for these weird creatures invisible to ordinary people to hunt down.

And the price is that he will be assimilated after death, becoming one of those terrifying figures.

"It's a pity I can't die."

Cheng Shen said.

Whoa!

His arm squirmed, and the solidified fat that had covered his entire palm was immediately squeezed out of his body.

Cheng Shen then used the power of the Exorcist Blade to burn it clean.

Put away the candles.

Then the shadowy horror before his eyes disappeared.

"The effect of this cursed object is very good. It is difficult for ordinary people to guard against weird attacks. Even extraordinary people will suffer a lot..."

Cheng Shen thought about it.

The weirdness in the candle can only be seen when the head is lowered and at a fixed angle, but how can ordinary people think of this when they are attacked by weirdness?
What's more, he doesn't necessarily have to do it after the other party is ready.

Strike first.

But he is very familiar with the operation.

……

A small episode on the road did not delay Cheng Shen for too long, and he continued to move towards the old city.

soon.

He saw the figure of the ancient corpse in front of him.

It swung its halberd, cut off obstacles, and forcibly opened a path in the dense forest. It seemed that no obstacle could stop its progress.

But at this point it ran into trouble.

In front of him, there was no longer a mutant birch tree with gray and dark trunks and straight trunks. A mangrove tree with dark red branches and leaves, a low crown, and a large number of slender rhizomes floating on the ground occupied Cheng Shen's entire field of vision.

Living water swims among the forests.

Shadow shuttles.

The ancient corpse stood motionless in front of this mangrove landscape, it seemed that it had not mastered the ability to dive or fly.

There was no other way.

"Clean water..."

Cheng Shen also stopped in front of the river bank. He picked up a puddle of water and observed it carefully. The water flow was not clear, but there were impurities in the turbidity, and it also contained a trace of strange power.

But this level of pollution is perfectly drinkable—if not for decades.

In fact.

It is very lucky to survive to adulthood in this forest.

No one will care about the harm that will only erupt after decades of accumulation.

And this situation also confirmed one thing, the pollution of the river Styx flowing deep in the mine did not affect other water sources in the forest.

This reassured Cheng Shen a lot.

Whoosh!
A sharp vine suddenly shoots out of the water and strikes head-on.

But Cheng Shen, who is always aware of his surroundings, has already discovered the danger hidden in the water.

The vine exploded in mid-air before it even got close to him.

At the same time, a bright red color also appeared in the water quickly, and a half-meter-long strange fish covered with dark scales surfaced with its mouth wide open.

"Just eating grilled fish."

Cheng Shen raised his hand and took the big fish in front of him. He took out a sharp scalpel, scraped off the scales of the fish, took out the internal organs, and cut off the inedible parts.

call!
An orange flame then emerged out of thin air and enveloped the cleaned fish.

Under his exquisite control, the temperature of the flame would not overflow in the slightest. Cheng Shen took out some spices from his backpack and sprinkled them on the fish, and the tempting aroma soon wafted away.

Crack!

He took a big bite of the fish and devoured it.

In fact, after unlocking the bright red form, Cheng Shen's physiological needs such as eating, drinking, and lassing no longer exist. He can deconstruct and reorganize every body organ at will, and he can already regard himself as a pure energy body.

He can't even breathe.

but.

In terms of human nature, which still has the upper hand in his heart, when conditions permit, Cheng Shen will still try his best to meet the various needs of being a human being.

This can make him feel that he is still alive normally.

rather than a monster.

A large fish weighing more than ten kilograms after cleaning was quickly swallowed by Cheng Shen, and the fish meat that entered his stomach was immediately decomposed into energy, turning into a warm current that nourished his limbs and bones.

The remaining non-nutritional waste residue is then excreted by him in turn.

Turned into fish food.

Cheng Shen turned his head and glanced at the ancient corpse still standing motionless by the water, and weighed it in his heart.

The encounter in the abandoned lumberyard last night let him know that this ancient corpse was not a ignorant low-level creature.It will find a safe area to spend the night, understand the rules of the safe area, and at least prove that it knows how to think.

If its ultimate goal is also that nightmare city.

Maybe partner up.

Cheng Shen didn't want Arjieka and others to accompany him in the danger, but it didn't mean he wanted to fight alone.If he wasn't afraid that the system would sanction him first, he would even want to drag the entire group of survivors into the water...

The survivors who are still alive are all elites selected through cruel challenges.
Maybe, a few heroes can be forced out in a desperate situation...

click!
The running water in front of the ancient corpse instantly formed a thick ice surface, exuding a chill, causing a layer of hoarfrost to float on the water surface.

The sudden change did not make the ancient corpse react unexpectedly.

It didn't turn its head to look at Cheng Shen, and stepped on the ice without hesitation.

start moving forward.

Cheng Shen didn't take the initiative to talk to it either.

One person and one corpse maintained this strange tacit understanding as they walked through this gloomy mangrove forest.

The biggest dangers in this area are the vines that will attack people actively and the strange fish hidden in the water.There seems to be a unique agreement between the two that they can coexist peacefully without interfering with each other.

But they show cruelty to other creatures.

The bones and hair of unknown creatures can be seen everywhere on the bottom of the water and among the entangled tree roots.

Cheng Shen and the ancient corpse would be attacked frequently when walking in the forest.

Never stop.

In fact, he has a variety of ways to destroy mangroves on a large scale to solve this problem.

But Cheng Shen didn't do anything.

Because he clearly felt that this mangrove forest was alive...

It can be seen that every mangrove tree rooted in the water is a branch growing on the same huge life, and he can feel that every breeze passing through the forest is the breath of that huge life.

Its heart beats like the earth.

Blood flowed like rivers.

Its existence made Cheng Shen tremble with fear every time he took a step forward!

Fortunately, until he saw the edge of the mangrove forest, that terrifying life was not awakened.

call!
The moment Cheng Shen set foot on the ground again, he was relieved.

But he couldn't relax. After passing through the mangrove forest, a dark city crawling like a giant beast in the billowing mist was already clearly visible.

"It's almost here..."

Cheng Shen tensed unconsciously.

On the side, the ancient corpse also passed through the mangrove forest smoothly with his help.

It made the only unnecessary action during the trip——looking up at the city.

This look.

Just let its actions freeze forever.

Cheng Shen sensed that the vitality fluctuations in its body were rapidly disappearing.

In a blink of an eye, it was gone.

His eyes straightened.

died?

It drove hundreds of miles to overcome obstacles just to get a glimpse of this city...?
This strange situation filled Cheng Shen with depression for a moment.

White is busy.

He also counted on this big brother to help him block when he encountered danger after entering the city...

"Ugh."

Sigh.

Cheng Shen calmed down and continued to move forward.

Approaching the old city, the land here began to turn blue-black, like the sky in a nightmare world, gloomy.

Not a blade of grass grows on the earth.

The fog is in the air.

After Cheng Shen walked not far away, he completely lost his vision, and could no longer tell the difference between south, east and north, but the majestic and towering city always appeared at the far end of his sight, like a kingdom of faith in the hearts of pilgrims.

daunting.

"Huh? Brother's companion."

Cheng Shen walked not far away.

Suddenly saw.

There was also a corpse standing motionless in front of him.

Its attire is not the same as that of his elder brother, which made him immediately dispel the guess of encountering a ghost hitting the wall.This corpse was also wearing a tattered battle armor, but it was holding a large shield, and the vitality in its body had already dissipated.

Subsequently.

One after another.

Cheng Shen saw more and more remains of such ancient soldiers.

They seem to be engaged in a never-ending battle. Even if they are dead, they must enter that city to destroy certain enemies that must be killed.

"This should be the costume of the tenth century..."

If time is calculated,

It seems to roughly coincide with the node of the change in the old city.

So, are these soldiers the army of the old city, or an attack from another force?

Cheng Shen was uncertain in his heart.

go further.

He even began to see groups of remains, carrying ancient chariots, but without exception, they were corpses resurrected after death, and lost their second lives silently in this fog.

"This fog..."

speak up.

Cheng Shen already had the feeling of returning to the nightmare world.

He took out the Key of Nightmare from his backpack, and the dim light flickered, reminding Cheng Shen that he could open a crack at any time and return to the nightmare cave that he had pierced through but would still continue to circulate.

And this also means that he is still alive.

"This is the impact of nightmares on the human world...it actually appeared so far away."

Cheng Shen thought.

The nightmare entrance in the deserted village also affected the surrounding area of ​​about a kilometer.

But the gray fog that overflowed from the old city covered more than a thousand miles around!

Even at this moment, someone told him that the nightmare world was broken into a big hole, and he believed it when it merged with reality!

"Ok?"

Cheng Shen walked a few steps quickly.

A large number of remains of ancient soldiers appeared in front of them. They wore uniform standard armor and were densely packed in black. There were hundreds of them at least.What surprised Cheng Shen was that he saw the existence of fighting with the soldiers for the first time.

There is only one person on the other side, but it needs hundreds of ancient corpses of the same level as the big brother to besiege!
It was a pale male corpse, it was wearing a red priest's robe, and the color of the priest's robe was still flowing like blood after an unknown period of time.

It was worn on the gun by an ancient corpse dressed up by a commander, but as a price, half of the commander's head was also smashed.I don't know when this scene happened, Cheng Shen only saw that they were all turned into statues now.

"It seems that an unknown force swept the entire area during the battle, killing all... Uh, the eldest brother is himself a dead man."

"Is there another force capable of manipulating the undead that is at war with the Old City?
Where will they come from? "

Cheng Shen's eyes flickered. This was not good news for him. In the Forest of Darkness, there was actually a terrifying force that could compete with the Old City!
He tried to get closer to the battlefield to see the male corpse clearly.

call!
A strong evil spirit suddenly rose from all directions.

Boundless rust colors appeared in front of Cheng Shen's eyes, the Liehun army flag fluttered with the wind, and all the murderous corpses in tattered battle armor all had fierce looks on their faces!
He suddenly felt that he was locked by a terrifying aura.

Dare to step forward,
They will all die on the spot!

He backed away slowly in surprise, and then the invisible lock dissipated, and all the ancient corpses returned to a state of dead silence again, as if the scene he just experienced was just his own illusion.

Cheng Shen was not sure if he could compete with so many ancient soldiers.

Weigh for a moment.

He dismissed the idea.

The old city is just around the corner and it's best not to have extra problems.

What's more, judging from the situation on the battlefield, these big brothers should be standing on the enemy's side of the old city.

No matter where they come from.

What is it.

But the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Cheng Shen still understands this truth.
