Tower Defense Game: My Eternal Kingdom

Chapter 44 The Portrait in the Tree

Thick lead clouds condense into funnel-shaped eddies over the sky.

A series of pitch-black electric snakes suddenly appeared and swam away.

The thunder was deafening.

The dull atmosphere seemed to condense into substance, and the oppressive people couldn't breathe.

This doomsday-like scene enveloped the endless barren plain, and in the middle of the plain, towering black city walls surrounded a gothic gray-white castle like a prison.

Click!

A thick black lightning burst suddenly in the sky.

One end is connected to the vortex, and the other end is connected to the metal cross on the top of the castle. The lightning splits into countless tiny thunder snakes, densely surrounding the cross. It can be seen that the carved portrait has a painful expression on its face.

"Depend on!"

Shocked by the thunder, Zhang Yao shrank his neck, cursed a few words in a low voice, and then beamed with joy, "This equipment is really cool!"

He put on a thick enchanted battle armor and hung a pendant that looked like a drop of blood. When he lifted his head, a Milan-style domed helmet automatically fell down, and the eye patch closed, immediately covering his head tightly.

Clang.

Clang.

An ordinary person wearing such an attire would have already been crushed to the point of immobility, but Zhang Yao was still able to move freely, even with ease.

"I feel like I'm...so strong!"

He murmured excitedly.

His professional talent can convert additional defense according to his health, and the bonus this armor gives him is not just as simple as 80 points of defense.

But a full 100 points.

right now,

His defensive attributes are almost the same as those of the tenth-level elite monsters!
Zhang Yao's confidence surged. He walked out of the grass where he was hiding, and came to the only gate on the edge of the city wall. Through the thick black iron railings like a prison, he could see the dark monsters gathered outside the castle. .

There are mice the size of a calf, a vicious dog with exposed tendons, a spider with a human face, and a cyclops as huge as a hill...

Like a group of demons dancing.

Whizzing!

As soon as he appeared, a group of pale skeleton archers shot arrows at him from behind the wave of monsters.

when!
when! -
13!
-
16!

……

Zhang Yao wanted to test his defense, resisted a few attacks, and found that these monsters that could kill him in a flash could barely break through the defense, so he was determined, took a lead shot, and pushed open the door.

"Grandpa is back!"

"Roar!"

He was greeted only by countless monster growls.

The monsters surrounding the castle are a bit different, unlike the monsters faced by other survivors, they will not take the initiative to attack the city walls, but they have strong hostility towards all creatures that appear inside the city walls.

The moment Zhang Yao rushed out, monsters surrounded him.

click!
He crushed the lead pellets vigorously, and a lead-gray liquid flowed out of them immediately, and was swallowed by him.

Zhang Yao's aura began to become unstable, full of tyranny.

"Ow!"

He let out an inhuman wolf howl, and blood came out of his eyes.

Everything about this veterinary pill is good.

Increases attack, defense and speed for a short time after use.

overall enhancement.

No debilitating side effects yet.

But it will continue to erode people's reason.

And it's permanent.

This is the fifth veterinary pill that Zhang Yao has taken so far. He has been unable to suppress the recovery of animal nature in his body like he did at the beginning.

He felt like he was on the pill too.

But in the face of the current situation, he had to use it.

"Come here!"

Zhang Yao still retained some rationality at this time, and rushed to the side quickly after jumping out of the iron gate.

This is the law he figured out by himself.

Zhang Yao found that as long as he didn't show up, these monsters would not take the initiative to attack the building.

And even after he appeared,

The monster also spread to the city wall because of attacking him.

If he can take advantage of this rule, maybe he can defend without injury, but unfortunately he has not succeeded so far.

But he also summed up some experience.

After the battle, as long as the monster's attack is pulled in the opposite direction of the city wall to avoid the city wall being attacked, the higher the evaluation will be.

By this method.

He already has two A grades.

Runes loomed on the battle armor, and cyan gleams surrounded Zhang Yao's body like a breeze, making him walk like flying.

Zheng!
The long sword was suddenly unsheathed.

A trace of coldness contrary to his temperament flashed in Zhang Yao's eyes. He held up the long sword, a bloody light rose from his arm, quickly spread to the sword, and slashed down, the sharp blade cut off the head of a mouse with just one blow. fall.

Stained blood spattered his visor.

Zhang Yao didn't care.

The biggest difference between him and other survivors is that in this short day, he was honed by the system to have a strong fighting consciousness.

The moment he killed the mouse, he suddenly turned his head and stepped on the ground with his feet. A red light exploded under his feet, the ground shook violently, and a muscular dog that had rushed behind him was immediately blown away.

Savage stomp!
-
162!

Also affected are the monsters surrounding him within five meters.

A group attack knocked down the blood volume of seven or eight monsters. Zhang Yao took the opportunity to rush out from the monster siege, and led the army of monsters chasing after him, to a black ancient tree outside the castle.

laugh!
He raised his hand and a white candle lit on the top of his head.

But I saw that he got an oily lampshade from nowhere, fixed it on the helmet, and there was a candle inside.

After lighting up.

Like a miner's hat.

"Are you really that stupid to flirt with you bastards?!"

A smirk appeared on Zhang Yao's face.

Subsequently.

He reached out and patted the thick tree trunk behind him.

"Old sister, help me!"

he yelled.

Boom!

With his knocking, strange things happened, and there was a dull slapping sound from inside the tree trunk, as if someone inside was responding to him, and immediately, the whole withered black ancient tree began to undergo terrifying changes.

The rough bark fell off first, revealing densely packed corpses. It was these corpses that formed the trunk, and the stitched limbs snaked and stretched on the trunk, growing into a dense crown of branches.

And in the center of the trunk, a "tree hole" was twisted out of the corpse strangely, and a black and white portrait was placed in the tree hole.

The woman in the portrait is smiling at the moment.

"Old sister, your smile is still so...so unique."

Zhang Yao backed away slowly with a chill running down his spine.

however.

He didn't dare to leave the corpse tree too far.

There are monsters all around.

As soon as he goes out, he will be torn apart by monsters.

But if it is too close to the tree.

Zhang Yao couldn't guarantee whether candles alone could protect him.

He is gambling.

"Roar!"

In the end, the monsters that surrounded them were the first to be unable to hold back, and two muscular dogs rushed forward, one left and one right.

But it's not close yet.

Sudden.

The two slender arms of the ancient tree hung down, inserted into their backs easily and accurately, and slowly grabbed it amidst the wailing of the muscular dogs.

"Great opportunity, Xiaoyao!"

Zhang Yao's eyes lit up, he rushed forward, swung his long sword, and quickly harvested the lives of the two muscular dogs, and then their bodies were caught in the air by the ancient tree, and were torn to pieces by countless arms in a blink of an eye.

Blood rained down.

Add a bit of horror to this weird corpse tree.
