Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 34 I'm Going to Inform Again

Within the [space-time wormhole], light and mist surged, and two large, sword-wielding skeletons emerged side by side.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

The giant rubber duck stands with its wings outstretched, its little eyes squinting, and it breathes fire every two seconds.

The flames surged outwards like a shockwave, instantly reducing the health of the greatsword-wielding skeletons caught in the blast by nearly half; three bursts of fire would surely kill them.

Therefore, the giant sword skeletons that rush out of the [Time-Space Wormhole] can't even walk six meters in the [War Corridor], and many of them are killed as soon as they appear.

This was a simple matter of blocking the entrance and killing monsters. The entire monster invasion was easily handled by Lei Chi, and it ended in less than seventeen minutes.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully defeating the 7th wave of monster invasion. Rewards have been calculated. Your level has increased to LV4, and your level cap has been increased to LV7."

"Ding! Unlocked general skill [Tower Removal]. You can now remove unwanted towers. Please note that removal is equivalent to destruction and is an irreversible operation. Use with caution."

"Ding! You can start the 8th wave of monster invasion at any time. The 8th wave of invading monsters are LV8 Frost Skeletons with 160 health points. Two monsters will spawn every second, for a total of 2000. Their movement speed is one meter per second."

"Ding! Please note that the Frost Skeleton's attacks have a slowing effect. After invading the camp plaza, please be careful not to get stuck..."

Lei Chi rubbed his chin.

Frost Skeleton, 160 HP!

"Stop fighting, let's dig in the ground!"

Having successfully repelled a monster invasion, Lei Chi was quite satisfied. Next, he went to the gold mine to dig for gold coins.

Now he can dig up 4 copper coins per dig, and with a good pickaxe, he can easily dig up 1 gold coin per hour. Before the camp protection period ended, Lei Chi dug up 5 gold coins, all of which he used to buy invasion insurance.

"Who would come to invade? Preferably a tough guy like Zisinger..."

Lei Chi pondered silently. He took a bottle of soda, leisurely lay down on the recliner, and waited for the intruders to come. This time, he was too lazy to adjust the position of the defensive towers.

He figured that his camp's defense index had reached 55 points, so invading players would probably be more cautious after seeing that.

Lei Chi didn't have to wait long; almost as soon as his camp's protection period ended, a system notification sounded in his mind: "Ding, alarm! Player Yan Xiaoyan has launched an invasion of your secret camp!"

"Yan Xiaoyan? The one who brought a large group of people last time? How many people did she bring this time?"

Lei Chi hurriedly ran to the War Corridor to take a look.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoyan formed a team of more than 60 people. She shouted in the team channel: "Although the guild leader asked Mu Xiaoxiao to deal with Lei Chi, I personally think that Mu Xiaoxiao is very unreliable. Let's go and see what Mu Xiaoxiao's invasion has achieved."

She paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over everyone, and said, "Most of you brothers should have infiltrated Thunder Pool's secret camp, right? That guy's a complete idiot; his defensive towers are a complete mess. I'll lead the way. We won't rush to kill him; let's find out who the traitor is first!"

"Xiao Yan, go!"

"I still remember that silly, endearing look!"

"Is he still as brave as before?"

"Let's go! After we take down this little brat, I still need to start the 15th wave of jungle monsters. Everyone, help me defend against them!"

"Xiao Yan, charge ahead boldly! We'll support you from behind!"

The group of players were quite lively and didn't take the secret camp that had invaded the Thunder Pool seriously at all.

Soon, Yan Xiaoyan took the lead and was the first to rush into the portal.

The scenery before her eyes flashed by, and she found herself in the [War Corridor] of the Thunder Pool, where a tiger's roar suddenly rang out.

Yan Xiaoyan felt her body lighten, but before she could figure out what was happening, a bolt of lightning, two porcupine quills, a mouthful of poisonous phlegm, a water bubble, a water cannonball, and a wave of fire all struck her at once.

"-4!"

"-4, Lightning strike paralysis! Movement speed reduced by 60%!"

"Tiger's Roar, movement speed reduced by 30%!"

"-4, poison gas has entered the body!"

"-5!"

"-32!"

"-32!"

……

Large numbers of damage numbers and status messages appeared above Yan Xiaoyan's head. She was only level 12 with 1200 health points. She lost 80 health points right away and was also slowed and poisoned. She was completely stunned.

"Something's not right. Last time we came, the firepower wasn't this intense. Aren't his towers supposed to be immune to focused fire? Who told him to rearrange his defensive towers?"

Yan Xiaoyan's expression changed drastically, but once she entered the [War Corridor], there was no turning back; she had become a tanker.

"Charge!"

"Kill them!"

"Demacia!"

"For the glory of the tribe!"

The players behind them were brave and ran forward quickly, showing great fighting spirit.

Yan Xiaoyan was quite annoyed. Defensive towers such as Bubble Turtle, Porcupine, and Lightning Lizard wouldn't switch targets until the target was killed, unless the target was out of range.

Yan Xiaoyan was slowed down. She tried to run forward, but it was like running on a treadmill, suffering continuous concentrated fire. Suddenly, the [Water Cannon Turtle] triggered a critical hit. Before Yan Xiaoyan had even run twenty meters, her health bar was empty.

"I'm such an idiot!"

Yan Xiaoyan uttered a curse that was utterly unladylike, and the next moment she was carried away by a porcupine bristle, her body turning into white light and disappearing.

She had wanted to be at the forefront and show off her prowess, but now she's been killed in the invasion war, losing three levels in a row—a huge loss!

"Oh no, Xiao Yan has been killed!"

"Xiao Yan was careless; she didn't dodge!"

"The Beast Tower launched a sneak attack; they have no sportsmanship!"

"Little Swallow's attempt at acting failed, haha!"

"Charge, everyone! Avenge Xiao Yan!"

"Charge! Dry up the Thunder Pool!"

"Charge head-on!"

"Dry to death in the Thunder Pool..."

These players charged forward in a headlong rush, all at the speed of a 100-meter sprint. Their health points were all over a thousand, and the few beast towers in the Thunder Pool really couldn't stop them.

Soon, they rushed out of the War Corridor and, without thinking twice, like a group of ruthless bandits, surrounded and killed the Slime King.

Keep in mind that there are over sixty players.

Lei Chi was very happy. This time he didn't plan to die. Now that he had the skill [Beast Possession], he wanted to level up quickly, so he ran away as fast as he could.

The players from the Flying Fire Camp swarmed forward, cursing and yelling. Lei Chi was too late to run away and was quickly surrounded. No one was polite to him, and he was not given a chance to speak. A flurry of punches killed him on the spot.

"Trash, only level four!"

"Completely vulnerable!"

"I hadn't even put in any effort before he collapsed!"

"I heard they have boxed lunches here!"

"I'm going to raid the gold mine!"

"Where is the chicken farm...?"

Without Yan Xiaoyan around, these players actually displayed the correct invasion posture. How could Lei Chi, this small camp, withstand their antics?

Soon, the orc laborers were killed, the chicken farm was breached, all the laying hens were slaughtered, the five green berets were stolen, and queues formed in front of the [Lunchbox Maker] and [Beverage Maker]...

Ten minutes later, Lei Chi revived in front of the Mushroom Hut, eagerly awaiting the compensation chest.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoyan, whose level had dropped to level nine, was angrily smashing things.

"Damn it, it must be Mu Xiaoxiao who tricked me! How could the defensive towers in the Thunder Pool camp be so strong? Someone must be supporting her. That damned traitor, I'm going to betray her again!"
