Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 86 What the hell is Jingyanggang?

After arranging for SpongeBob to study the murals in the ancient shelter, Lei Chi went to the chicken farm.

The chicken farm has been upgraded to LV2, and its area has increased significantly. It can now house 300 chickens, but there are currently only 100 laying hens inside.

"Only rich people raise egg-laying hens. A wealthy person like me must raise fighting chickens. Bring me two hundred!"

With a wave of his hand, Lei Chi deducted 2000 gold coins from the system in an instant, and the chicken farm became lively.

A full 200 fighting chickens appeared, lined up in formation, performing the Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg.

"Grow slowly!"

Lei Chi thought that these 200 fighter jets could be used to commit insurance fraud. Based on past experience, if they were killed by intruders, the system would likely compensate with high-level combat chickens. Once the combat chickens reached level 20, they could be listed for sale in the shop. He estimated that they could sell for 700 gold coins each without any problem, since combat chickens could be used as mounts.

At this point, Lei Chi had spent 1800 of his 5000 gold coins, so he went to the trading house and spent 1500 gold coins to buy 6 [Wild Gems].

The Wild Gem is the key item for upgrading the Big Tiger to the Saber-toothed Tiger, and it is also essential for Lei Chi to use Beast Possession. Without any hesitation, he quickly upgraded the three Big Tigers in his camp to Saber-toothed Tigers, and the camp's defense index immediately soared to 915!

With 300 gold coins remaining, Lei Chi used 100 to buy invasion insurance and threw 200 into the gold mine treasure chest.

As time passed, and the reset time of Jingyanggang cooled down, Lei Chi replaced the Azure Dragon with a Saber-toothed Tiger.

"Although this makes it harder for Qingjiao to rack up kills, it's obviously more important to break through the monster invasion as soon as possible. We can use items like monster summoning scrolls to help Qingjiao rack up kills later."

Lei Chi no longer hesitated and quickly launched the 18th wave of monster invasion.

Soon, the Iron-Headed Porcupine appeared from the spacetime wormhole.

This monster has a whopping 4500 health points, 20 armor, and is about the size of a rhinoceros. When it runs, it's like a small tank.

Before Jingyanggang, only [Qiongha] could attack the Iron-Headed Porcupine. It roared "Qiongha" and began to charge up its power. The fin-like scales on its back quickly glowed, and five seconds later, just like Godzilla unleashing its atomic breath, it spat out a blue kinetic energy ray.

The porcupine struck by the kinetic ray immediately began to moonwalk, appearing to move forward but actually moving backward, eventually getting stuck at the entrance of the [space-time wormhole]. Only after three minutes, when the duration of the kinetic ray reached its limit, was it able to move forward again.

Five seconds later, [Poor Ha] still recognized the iron-headed porcupine and fired its kinetic energy beam at it again...

Thus, during this wave of monster invasion, [Qiong Ha] used kinetic energy rays to slowly whittle down 3 Iron-Headed Porcupines, and the remaining 7997 Iron-Headed Porcupines all died in Jingyang Ridge.

Under the Saber-toothed Tiger's quantum chokehold technique, how could the Iron-Headed Porcupine possibly survive?

This wave of jungle monster invasion lasted for less than 20 minutes before it ended.

Previously, Lei Chi had consumed 20 experience gems to raise his level to LV17. After the system settled the rewards, he leveled up to LV18. In addition, the War Corridor was extended by another 100 meters, reaching 400 meters!

Lei Chi continued to launch the 19th wave of monster invasion. This time, he set [Qiong Ha] to stealth mode to prevent it from slowing down the monster-killing speed.

The 19th wave of invading monsters consisted of troll boars with 5320 health points, totaling 8000, all of which perished in Jingyanggang.

The system rewards have been distributed, and the level of Thunder Pool has been upgraded to LV19. In addition, the [Defense Tower Downgrade] feature has been unlocked.

With this system function, players can destroy defense towers of level 2 or higher and then recycle the upgrade materials.

The Thunder Pool continues with the 20th wave of jungle monster invasion. This wave of invading monsters is the Earth Pig, which has only 4000 health, slow movement speed, and low armor and magic resistance, but has the [Resurrection] ability, and can be resurrected with full health three seconds after death.

This wave of monster invasion was quite difficult; Jingyanggang was unable to stop all the Earth Boars.

The Saber-toothed Tiger can undoubtedly use the Throat Lock skill to lock down the Earth Boar, but it only takes away one of its lives. Throat Lock has a cooldown and cannot be used continuously. Once the Earth Boar revives, it will have an opportunity to escape.

However, very few Earth Boars can emerge from Jingyang Ridge, less than one-fifth, and they are always left with low health. They are probably lucky ones, as the Saber-toothed Tiger's attack on them did not trigger a triple attack, allowing them to survive by sheer luck.

These weakened Earth Boars were not a significant threat, as they were mostly eliminated by the Azure Dragon and Giant Yellow Duck behind them.

Once the last wild boar was defeated, Lei Chi received a system notification: "Ding! Congratulations on defeating the 20th wave of monster invasion. Rewards have been calculated, and your level has increased to LV20. Your level cap has also increased to LV20!"

"Ding! Wealth Ranking, Defense Ranking, Level Ranking, Troop Strength Ranking, and Overall Strength Ranking have been unlocked. The top 1,000 players can enter the rankings. Ranking on the rankings will unlock achievements and grant corresponding achievement rewards. Players are encouraged to explore the details themselves."

"Ding! Starting from wave 21, after defeating the monster invasion, the system reward will be a random treasure chest."

"Ding! You can start the 21st wave of jungle monster invasion at any time. Note that the invading monsters in the 21st wave are flying units [Red Dragon]. Turrets with a range of less than 20 meters will not be able to damage them. Please make sure you have sufficient anti-air capabilities before starting this jungle monster invasion."

"Flying units..." Lei Chi frowned slightly. "Jingyanggang should be effective against flying units too, but the saber-toothed tiger probably won't work. We'll have to switch the Azure Dragon back!"

Lei Chi stopped initiating the monster invasion. He stretched, feeling slightly sleepy, and went to his mushroom hut for a nap. In his drowsy state, he heard a system notification: "Ding, alert! Player Wang Daochang has launched an invasion against your secret camp..."

Lei Chi was sleeping soundly and too lazy to get up. Not long after, he was forcibly kicked out of the mushroom house, where he lay on the recliner and continued to sleep.

Looking at the team that had been so painstakingly regrouped, Wang Daochang felt a pang of emotion. With a serious expression, he rallied the troops: "Brothers, the Holy Light Potion has been distributed. It's the highest-grade antidote; I guarantee it with my life, the effect is phenomenal. Don't be afraid of the Azure Dragon anymore. This time, we'll definitely succeed in our invasion. Do you all have confidence?"

"have……"

A few scattered responses followed.

"Everyone, cheer up! This is our chance to turn the tide! Show your spirit, remember our goal: defeat the Slime King of the Thunder Zone! Charge with me!"

"Go for it!"

"You all go first, I'll cover the rear!"

"I'll cover you!"

"Let me do two more rounds of sit-ups..."

Few among the group were enthusiastic, including the deputy group leader, Taurus, who was the last to enter the portal.

As soon as Wang Daochang, who was leading the way, entered the war corridor, he heard a system notification: "Jingyang Ridge is 50 meters ahead. There are saber-toothed tigers in the mountains. Please proceed with caution!"

"Saber-toothed tiger!"

Wang Daochang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, wishing he could spit out a mouthful of blood. He roared, "Where the hell is the Azure Dragon? How did it turn into a saber-toothed tiger? Are you kidding me? What the hell could be in Jingyang Ridge?!"
