Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 340 Arrival in Nightmare City
Bypassing the battlefield, Cheng Shen continued to advance.

The fog is thickening all around.

jingle……

A crisp ringing suddenly reached his ears, and Cheng Shen turned his head to look.

His spiritual perception was somewhat hindered in the fog, but even the gray fog area of ​​the real nightmare could not completely cut off his vision, not to mention that his current mental power had been fused and strengthened into soul power.

A radius of one kilometer is within the range of his perception.

Cheng Shen saw a woman dressed in rags walking slowly in the mist. Her face was haggard and thin like a mummy, and only a piece of skin was left covering her bones. Her spiritual world was only a gloomy daze.

"Lost..."

Cheng Shen looked serious.

The impact of the old city has completely merged this place with the nightmare world. The lost people who originally only appeared in the mist have come to the world!Then, can existences such as fog ghosts and bone differences also come over?

He took a breath.

Yosegala
The entrance of this nightmare,

It seems that the drive is much bigger than the worst case he expected...

A copper bell that had faded from the plating was tied around the waist of this lost person. As she moved stiffly, it kept shaking and made a soft ringing.Cheng Shen saw at a glance that it should be a piece of rare or perfect equipment.

And it is a rare spiritual system.

He once owned a similar bell.

It's just that with the growth of his strength, the equipment below the extraordinary has not increased much for him.

...but who doesn't like Bai Jian?

Thoughts move.

Cheng Shen tried to mobilize the confusion in the lost man's heart, and a vague calling sound echoed in its heart, only to see that the lost man who was wandering aimlessly suddenly turned and walked towards him.

Whoosh!
A gust of wind passed through, precisely breaking the bell belt hanging around its waist, and the lost man also found Cheng Shen at this time.

"Evans...Evans..."

It called softly.

If Cheng Shen didn't hear it, he raised his hand and put the bell that had fallen on the ground into his hand, then turned and walked away.

In fact, the lost person's individual strength is not strong, and he can completely kill the lost person nearby when he calls.

But Cheng Shen was not sure whether the information Govia gave him was accurate, and he didn't want to take risks.With the insidiousness of that devil, maybe 1 holes have been dug for him in normal conversations waiting for him to jump.

What's more, at least he got something from someone else.

It's a bit unreasonable to kill it...

jingle!

Cheng Shen injected magic power into the bell, and a touch of dark gold immediately reappeared on the surface of the faded and mottled copper bell. The clear bell resounded deep in Cheng Shen's mind, which lifted his spirits and made his mind extremely clear.

"Get status: active thinking!"

……

This brass bell has two characteristics, one is to bless itself to return to the blue state.

There's also a perceptual enhancement specifically for felines...?
Animal taming props?

Cheng Shen was slightly taken aback.

This perception enhancement allows users to more accurately capture the emotions of animals, and plays an auxiliary role in animal taming.

But it's useless to him.

His ability to directly perceive the spiritual world is ten thousand times better than this.

However, it was just an ordinary purple outfit that was picked up anyway, and Cheng Shen didn't have much expectation at first.

"How far..."

Surrounded by an unchanging environment, it is easy to let people's thinking diverge.

Cheng Shen raised his head and looked at the city with high walls that seemed to be suspended in the clouds, his eyes suddenly froze.

"Is that door always open?"

He was suspicious.

The towering and stalwart gate of the old city opened at some point, and inside the gate was a world shrouded in blood.When Cheng Shen raised his head to look over, a non-human palm slowly protruded from the door.

hum!
Cheng Shen was instantly attracted by the palm engraved with mysterious patterns. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but an unstoppable tiredness quickly rushed into his mind, making his eyelids immediately become as heavy as mountains!

"I got hit!"

There was a thump in Cheng Shen's heart, his mind began to groggy, his body was on the verge of falling, and the intense tiredness made him just want to ignore it and go to sleep at the moment, the energy in his body became sluggish, running sluggishly like rusty bearings.

"No... I can't sleep...!"

Cheng Shen bit the tip of his tongue.

But even such intense pain could not awaken his spirit!
Before Cheng Shen fell into a coma, there was only one thought in his mind: the curse of the deep sea might be about to kill...!
……

heavy.

confusion.

Thick darkness filled Cheng Shen's conscious world. His feeling at the moment was as if he was on the verge of sudden death after staying up all night for seven days. After finally having a chance to sleep, he was forcibly woken up again.

There was a buzzing in my head and I couldn't think with a headache.

who am I?
where am I?
It took Cheng Shen a long time to remember the answers to these two questions.

But the darkness in front of him couldn't go away. He felt as if his eyes were still closed, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them. His body was as heavy as if he had been sucked by a female ghost, and he couldn't even lift his fingers.

Boom...!
He suddenly felt a tremor from the outside, as if his body was lifted by someone and thrown into a greasy and damp place.

Then the rutting sounds.

His body began to jolt.

During the shaking, he seemed to have bumped into a cold and stiff object. The familiar touch made him immediately think of the corpse.

"I... am about to enter the old city..."

Cheng Shen thought dully.

simple thought.

But it took him a hundred times more time than usual to think.

"In the door..."

"Hey!"

The thoughts he had finally raised were interrupted by an outside voice, it seemed that two people were talking.

"New arrival?"

"Ah."

"Huh? The rare fresh flesh body, it is estimated that it can prolong the life of a big man for hundreds of years..."

"Ah."

"Send it to clean up!"

"..."

Conversation ends.

After tossing and turning.

Cheng Shen fell asleep again amidst the bumps, he only felt that a century had passed.When he got the perception from the outside world again, his body had been placed in a cold place, and there were people walking around.

There was the sound of metal instruments clashing.

"Collect blood samples, check for contamination in the body..."

"Preparing for the purification operation..."

"After checking the blood sample, send it to the temple, and let them decide who to replace..."

……

A man's voice kept giving instructions one after another, and Cheng Shen then felt that his body was stripped naked, and a cold palm with an insulated glove carefully touched every part of his body.

"Oh shit……"

All he felt was anger.

"The patient's thinking is still active? What's going on?... To avoid problems with the replacement operation, perform the purification operation first!"

"Yes!"

"..."

hum!
A strong electric current suddenly surged through his body, and Cheng Shen suddenly felt that his thoughts were about to explode. His instinct drove him to desperately want to escape from this body, so as to avoid being completely purified by this terrifying force.

call!
suddenly.

As soon as Cheng Shen thought about it, his whole soul rose upward as if it had broken free from some kind of shackles.

He finally "opened" his eyes.

saw.

It was his pale complexion lying on an operating table.

Surrounding his body was a "person" wearing a strange crow mask. The head of the crow doctor was tall, and the instruments in their hands were said to be surgical instruments, but in Cheng Shen's view, they were more like instruments of torture...

Before he could see more details, his consciousness passed through the ceiling uncontrollably and came outside the building.

Bloody.

Like a fire.

A round of pitch-black sun hangs high on the zenith, and the rays of light flickering around are like tentacles stretching out indescribably, and a large number of tentacles hang down on a towering bloody spire in the city.

make it,

Holy melodious.

boom!
Cheng Shen's rising soul seemed to have touched an impenetrable barrier, causing him to fall downwards in darkness as if he had been hit hard.

in the process.

An extremely familiar voice rang in his mind one after another.

[You have successfully arrived at the city of...! 】

[Old Disaster ①——Mission completed! 】

[Obtain: Permission Unlocked (1%)! 】

[The main mission has been updated! 】

[You can choose side quests to receive in the character panel! 】

……

The mechanical sound as usual is now like a radio affected by electromagnetic interference, the sound is mixed with sharp currents, intermittent.

But fortunately, the clear information was expressed.

And the state that affected him finally disappeared, and Cheng Shen's thoughts quickly turned, recalling everything that happened before at the fastest speed.

"The body was robbed..."

A ridiculous idea then lingered in Cheng Shen's mind. He was in a complicated mood and didn't know whether it was bad news or good news.

Does anyone dare to use his body?
I really think I died too slowly...

At this moment, Cheng Shen felt an incomparably relaxed sense of joy, as if two mountains that had been weighing on his head had been moved away.Those Crow Doctors are really capable, they can actually peel off all the curses he has received!
While he was at a loss, he was still a little excited...

or,

Just don't want it?

Cheng Shen could feel that his soul hadn't been weakened in the slightest, and his physical strength basically depended on his talent for energy control.

It's just a body...

call!
As Cheng Shen's thoughts diverged, he felt his consciousness suddenly sink, and suddenly fell into a cold body.After a brief daze, he began to perceive everything that this body could feel, only full of dullness.

The darkness in front of my eyes dissipated.

The first thing that came into his eyes was the ceiling covered with dark red mold spots; the wall skin was peeling off, exuding a damp musty smell; some unfinished handicrafts were placed on the wooden desk; blood was reflected outside the window.

This is a bedroom full of retro style.

But aside from the factors of poor maintenance, the layout of the room is not simple. The desk and wardrobe are complete, and all kinds of messy items are piled up in the corner of the room, most of which are some wooden doll limbs.

"The identity of coming this time is a puppeteer...?"

Cheng Shen released his perception.

Then I was taken aback.

The "he" presented in the field of perception is actually a splicing of flesh and wood. Half of his head is made of wood. There is a striking tear mark in the middle of his face, and the raised flesh has turned black.

All his bones had been replaced with a wooden frame, and a thick layer of bandages wrapped around his chest cavity, covering his rotten and smelly internal organs.

poof,
poof,
……

A strong heart still beats tenaciously in this vicious wreck.

"How did this meow survive? It's unscientific!"

Cheng Shen wondered.

creak...

He tried to control his body to sit up from the bed, and it took a lot of effort to manage it, but before he could sit still, a sudden loss of strength made him fall back on the bed, and all the internal organs in his body shook.

The only good thing is.

This body didn't give him extra pain...

"never mind."

Cheng Shen shook his head and planned to give up this body. He didn't believe that such a big city couldn't find a good person.And even if he really can't find a body to control, his soul body can still condense into a substance that is no different from ordinary people.

It's better than staying in this broken body...

thinking.

Cheng Shen was not in a hurry to leave to find a new body.

He read the system silently, opened the character panel, and prepared to check the changes in the mission.

hum...

An unstable light curtain full of tearing appeared in front of his eyes.

"Sure enough, the power of the system has been isolated again... The impact of isolation this time is much more serious than in Nightmare Town."

Cheng Shen thought.

The depths of the nightmare where the Old City is far deeper than Devil's Town.

If his soul hadn't undergone a transformation and was strengthened by the integration of spiritual power, he might have faced the situation where his eyes were smeared at that time.

"Task panel..."

Cheng Shen tried to activate a function on the panel, and a lot of information immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

First of all.

This is the change of the main mission.

【Old Disaster ②】

【Task】

[Difficulty: Lv21~Lv51]

[Explanation: The despicable unbelievers stole the glory of the past, offended the gods, and sent down punishment. The earth fell into eternal silence, chaos and madness began to spread in the darkness, and people could no longer wait for the sun to rise... 】

[Condition: survive the first night successfully! 】

[Reward: Unknown]

[Punishment: Old Curse (Please don't try it lightly!)]

[Time limit: 13:52:43! 】

……

Just asking to survive...?
Cheng Shen frowned.

This condition immediately gave him an ominous premonition.

You know, although the first link of the main mission is only for him to enter the Old City within half a month, on the way to complete this mission, the first thing to do is to deal with the four forces blocking the way, which is the difficulty!
And now task ② is also a simple sentence.

the dangers in it.

But even thinking about it made Cheng Shen feel his scalp go numb.

However, he is in this state, who else will come to harm him?Doesn't it hurt to be idle...! ?

Cheng Shen's emotions were beyond words.

He continued to look.

Under the main task, there are also some sidelines that can be completed with notes.
