Chapter 51: The Road to Killing
When the chariot came further into the attack range, he quickly sent a mental command to the fox-headed guard officer.
【Tie them all up! 】
The fox-headed guard stretched out five fingers and shook them in the air.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several thin vines quickly grew out of the mud and penetrated into the armor gaps of the iron box tank.
Then a few seconds later...
Phew!
Green smoke came out from the top of the iron box tank and the tires stopped turning.
It seems that it has been destroyed by the vines.
“It worked.”
Seeing that the fox-headed guard's attack was successful, Shi Li turned his gaze to his brother's funeral beast.
【Brother! 】
After receiving the order, Xionggui Sangshou aimed at a chariot in the distance and raised his hands above his head, revealing his bare armpits.
Then he tensed his arms and pectoralis major muscles, clenched his fists and swung them downward in a half circle, posing the standard posture of a bodybuilder showing off his muscles.
【Brother! 】
He did not see any actual attack, but the iron box chariot in the distance suddenly stopped moving and began to tremble slightly.
Then an explosion occurred directly inside it.
Boom!
"Oh my god, killing the enemy without them even appearing, is this the true face of Muscle Flash?"
Shi Li was also a little dumbfounded.
After discovering the weakness of this wave of enemies, everyone found a way to deal with it.
Only the Scarecrow and Mushroom decks are the weakest. Fortunately, their followers do not have the sole responsibility for defense in a certain direction, so the impact is not significant.
Strictly speaking, Shi Li was the one who had the most difficulty coping.
Among his follower cards, except for the Fox-Headed Guard and the Brotherly Funeral Beast, the rest all rely on physical attacks.
Only the giant zombie beast and the Kung Fu sheep rabbit, whose attack power is at the "strong" level, can rely on their own high attack to forcibly break through the physical defense.
Only four out of ten cards can be used, so naturally this battle is very difficult to win.
Fortunately, a muddy area was created to limit the speed of the iron box tank, otherwise he estimated that his defense line here might be breached.
After about 20 minutes of fighting, nearly a hundred iron box tanks were finally destroyed.
Only iron boxes were left on the ground, and most of them were relatively well preserved because they were destroyed from the inside or suffered fatal damage.
So Shi Li gave a look to Sweeping Robot No. 2.
"No way, big brother..."
When Sweeper No. 2 saw his expression, his tone suddenly became weak.
Because it knows very well that it is alive again.
"Can you... glue these boxes together?"
However, Shi Li's request this time was quite simple.
"you mean?"
Secretary He next to him didn't understand.
Even though he is already level 30, he has actually not experienced many tower defense dungeons.
The few times I queued were when I was in a team with my teammates.
He relies on his teammates to lead him, and his teammates don't have as many tricks as Shi Li.
If he were to encounter a tower defense type game while playing solo, he would definitely avoid it and choose another option.
"You are a very fast learner without any teacher."
Director Xiu understood what he meant.
"Why?"
This made Secretary He even more confused, and he even spoke in his hometown dialect.
"Ahem, it's actually very simple."
"I just observed the movements of these guys for a while."
"In fact, I left a few gaps in this muddy circular area."
Shi Li said, pointing to one of the places.
The soil there was dry and hard, never watered or tilled.
Originally they thought that Shi Li accidentally leaked it while driving, but they didn't expect it was intentional.
"I found that if it was the iron boxes near these gaps, none of them chose to avoid the muddy area and take the dry road."
"That is to say, although they are mechanical life forms, they may be of a lower level and lack intelligence."
"If that's the case, why don't we set up a path for them and let them attack from this path?"
"Not only will this allow the crowding to further restrict their movements, but it will also allow us to better focus our fire."
After he said this, everyone woke up.
Especially those who have never experienced or have only experienced tower defense dungeons once or twice were surprised. It turns out that tower defense dungeons can be played like this?
"That's right. When conditions permit, setting up roadblocks is the most efficient tower defense strategy."
"So those minion cards that can change the terrain are often very popular in tower defense dungeons."
Director Xiu fully approved of Shi Li's idea.
Then everyone worked together and started working.
Move the iron boxes together and stack them into a wall, and then have Sweeper No. 2 use his card player talent to glue them together.
After a while, two 3-meter-high chariot walls were formed.
Under Shi Li's command, a passage about 5 meters wide was left between the two walls.
The enemies coming from this direction will become the target of concentrated fire in the crowd.
After 15 minutes, the roar of the engine was heard again in the distance.
【Boom boom boom ...】
Everyone looked up and saw a number of iron box tanks appearing on the other side of the air wall, driving towards them rapidly.
Originally, these iron box tanks were very fast, and when they reached the defense line, the impact of their own speed alone was enough to cause great damage to the defense line.
But the muddy area almost makes this skill useless for them, so they are even less threatening than the mechanical dogs.
"It seems that this instance is the type where there are 10 waves of one large category."
Based on his previous experience, Director Xiu judged that the next 11 to 19 waves would probably be iron box tanks.
"Coach Shi, your tactics worked!"
At this time, the parrot let out a cry of surprise.
Due to the existence of the iron box walls, the iron box chariots could neither pass through nor climb, so they could only detour.
Some of them went around the outside of the wall, while others went inside through the passage between the two walls.
The group in the middle of the aisle was very crowded with people blocking each other.
Driving was already difficult due to the mud, and now with the congestion it was even slower.
"Isn't this a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?"
Director Xiu looked at it and smiled.
She directed the double gun barrels to adjust their direction, aiming at the iron box tank at the front.
call out……!
Two straight and parallel energy beams shot out, and when they pierced through the first iron box chariot, they did not stop but directly pierced through the second and third chariots behind them...
Boom! x5
This one shot alone blew up as many as five iron box tanks.
This is still a hit on the vital point, it’s not considered a hit on the vital point.
"Hahahaha! So cool! This is what tower defense is all about!"
Director Xiu patted Shi Li's shoulder vigorously, indicating that she was enjoying it.
Thus, the 11th to 19th waves of iron box tanks ended without posing any threat to them, but instead provided a large number of iron box wreckage.
Sufficient materials allowed everyone to build a complete wall of iron boxes outside the sentry post, leaving only a passage.
Afro also gave this passage a name, called the Killing Road.
It is a path that allows all enemies to crowd in and be killed.
The mini-boss in the 20th wave is completely different from the one in the 10th wave.
There were ten reinforced iron box tanks attacking from different directions.
However, under the effect of the Killing Road, they can only drive in one after another through the narrow passage and become the target of concentrated fire from the follower cards.
The enemies in waves 21 to 29 are mechanical crabs with long pointed legs.
These mechanical crabs have a certain jumping ability, and their walls are not high enough to stop them.
Moreover, its sharp feet and relatively light body were not affected much by the muddy ground. It could be said that it completely ignored the terrain created by everyone.
However, these mechanical crabs also have their own relative weaknesses, that is, their bodies are very fragile and their internal structures are unstable.
Even if you just break a few of their legs, they will fall to the ground and be destroyed.
So after defeating these mechanical crabs, Shi Li used those long, knife-like metal legs and fixed them to the wall.
In this way, the iron box wall becomes a hedgehog wall.
Poor Sweeper No. 2 is so tired that he is about to vomit, if he could vomit.
But after all, the boss is in the team, and it can't refuse or be lazy.
Sweeping Robot No. 2 will definitely ignore the straw man's instigation to resign, as it needs this job to obtain living benefits.
And why should I resign when I haven’t even tried being No. 1? If anyone should resign, you, No. 1, should resign first.
In short, it just secretly vowed that it would never participate in any team building again.
The BOSS of the 30th wave is a giant mechanical crab.
This guy has high armor and magic resistance, but his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he is slow and short.
Its oversized size didn't even allow it to be killed, but it was also very fierce and simply pushed the iron box wall towards the sentry post.
Finally, when it smashed the iron box wall into pieces, it finally fell under the concentrated fire of the crowd.
During this process, the core crystal's force field withstood several attacks and its energy value dropped to [841/1000].
After repairing the wall, they still had to continue to face the enemy.
Subsequent battles went relatively smoothly. The types of enemies from the 31st to the 99th waves were basically all affected by the Mud Land + Killing Road.
Only a few flying machines were not affected.
However, flying machines are actually easier to deal with than ground units because they are more fragile, and the magic of various follower cards mostly has a locking effect, basically one shot at a time.
The only surprise was that perhaps his afro was more conspicuous when looking down from a high altitude, so he was accidentally killed by those flying machines and became the second team member to exit the copy after Slime.
During the entire tower defense process, although everyone kept using the wreckage of machinery to reinforce the walls, the walls were still shaky due to too many impacts, and were so deformed that they had long lost their original appearance.
【Bang, bang, moo! 】
When the last batch of mechanical rhinos in the 99th wave launched an attack, the wall finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Bang...Bang!!
The entire circle of walls collapsed like a chain reaction.
The mechanical rhinos marched towards the sentry post with heavy steps.
"Everyone, fight!"
Director Xiu shouted.
They had anticipated this situation, so they had made preparations in advance.
But without the protection of the wall, the defensive pressure suddenly increased.
I can only say that these mechanical rhinos are worthy of being the strongest monsters in the 99th wave.
After 20 minutes of fierce fighting, they finally defeated these guys.
What remains is the final BOSS of the 100th wave.
"Try harder and get through this last hurdle."
Looking at the countdown on the panel, Director Xiu encouraged everyone.
The card drawing reward system is different in each dungeon. For this [Isolated Outpost], you will get 2 initial card drawing opportunities when you enter the dungeon.
Then get it once through wave 50 and twice through wave 100.
That means you can get 5 card draws in total if you complete all the tasks.
Just now, unfortunately, the parrot was killed while trying to block the knife for the show director and had to exit the dungeon.
Shi Li could see that this guy probably didn't come here to play the dungeon from the beginning, but probably came here to please the boss and get a raise.
But now even the parrot is gone, and I don’t know if I can defeat these bosses who are getting stronger and stronger.
Similarly, Director Xiu has a similar opinion.
She would rather lose two or three mushrooms than a parrot.
Mushroom:?
Because the parrot that was the last to withdraw had the third strongest deck among them.
That hand of minion cards that mainly provide support and healing can protect everyone and is very comfortable to play.
She also had no good solution for the final boss that was about to appear.
Her card player talent has nothing to do with dungeon battles and is called [Collector].
It’s inherited from her ancestors. Every poker player in her family has this talent.
The effect is that after each copy is completed, you can draw an additional 1/3 of the cards.
To put it simply, it means +1 chance for every 3 card draws.
As for Secretary He’s talent as a card player, it’s called [Money-making Hand].
The name of this talent sounds nice, but in reality it is a negative talent that is even worse than a useless talent.
That is, when shuffling the cards, you need to consume twice as many cubic coins as others, that's all.
"Quack! Quack!"
However, at this moment, Uncle Tiao Tiao actually stood up.
"What did he say?"
Secretary He was confused.
As the real manager and operator of the card hall, he had come into contact with the employee from the miscellaneous work department, but the communication was limited to typing.
Zombie language is too obscure and almost no one in the card room can understand it.
"He said his talent as a poker player might be able to help."
Fortunately, there was a translator named Mosaicuo present.
"Oh?"
Everyone was cheered up when they heard this.
Director Xiu: "So what is your talent as a card player?"
Uncle Jump: "Haha! Haha!"
Mushroom: "Yeah, it's like this..."
Next, Mosaicgu translated it carefully for Uncle Tiaotiao.
It turns out that his talent as a card player is called [Resurrection].
You can temporarily summon the strongest unit you encountered in the previous instance.
Of course, there is an upper limit to this talent.
With his current level 15, it is definitely impossible for him to summon something like a space carrier, although he has never seen one so far.
"That's amazing! If the conditions are right, wouldn't it be possible to stage a Godzilla vs. SpongeBob SquarePants show?"
Shi Li thought this card player’s talent was quite interesting.
"So what was the strongest unit you encountered in the last instance?"
Secretary He expressed his curiosity.
"Quack! Quack, quack, quack!"
But Uncle Tiao gestured and said that he didn't know either.
After a short rest, everyone began to deploy follower cards around the BOSS's path.
As for the defensive walls, they did not repair them.
One reason was that there was not enough time, and the other was that the BOSS on the other side of the air wall was obviously not a size that could be hindered by the wall.
Based on previous experience, Shi Li could judge that the size of this giant mechanical rhino was the largest among the 100 waves of enemies.
Even if the wall is repaired, it is estimated that it will just step over it casually.
The 20-minute countdown passed by little by little, and finally returned to 0.
As they watched, the giant mechanical rhino slowly walked in through the air wall.
As a result, when it was 100 meters away from the defense line, an unexpected scene happened.
【Enter...battle...mode! 】
It made a muffled sound and then stood up on its two hind legs.
Bang bang, empty sound!
Pieces of metal mechanical parts began to rotate and turn on it, and this guy actually turned into a robot in front of them!
The huge metal horn moved to the right fist, and the two rhino eyes moved to the robot's chest, emitting a charged red light, seemingly able to emit lasers.
The rhino robot is huge. If the giant zombie had a lower body, it would probably be half a head larger than it.
"What the hell, Transformers! Mushroom!"
Mosaichou was the first to exclaim.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then, the guy was seen rushing towards the defense line with heavy steps.
"Ga, ga, ga! ga!"
Uncle Tiao Tiao signaled to everyone not to be afraid, and turned his wrist to take out a yellow talisman.
The yellow talisman was covered with incomprehensible words and symbols. Even though there was no wind at this moment, it was shaking horizontally, as if it would break free from his fingertips and fly away at any time.
"Gaga-ga-ga-ga go!"
Uncle Tiao Tiao roared rhythmically as if he was chanting a spell, then stretched out his hand and sent out the yellow talisman.
The yellow talisman immediately floated towards the BOSS, and a puff of green smoke came out the moment it landed.
Bang!
Faintly, they saw a figure in the smoke.
It looks like just an ordinary person's body shape.
【Cough cough cough! 】
The smoke soon dissipated, and a slightly bald middle-aged man appeared in everyone's sight.
He was thin, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and was dressed in a well-fitting, neat suit.
He kept coughing, as if he was choked by the smoke.
There is a two-character name on his head: [Mayor].
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the other side, a giant rhino robot was approaching rapidly step by step.
It forms a sharp contrast with the thin and bald mayor.
"How did you introduce your talent just now? Summoning the strongest unit encountered in the last dungeon?"
Director Xiu was stunned.
“Ga ga ga!”
"He said he didn't know what was going on."
"What was your last dungeon called?"
“Ga ga ga!”
"He said it was called the [Government Affairs Office Building], and the main content of the copy was typing on the keyboard, copying documents, and gossiping among colleagues."
"What the hell is this copy?!"
