They were huge black bugs that were more than ten meters long and as thick as telephone poles. Their heads were their mouths, and they were full of oozing barbs.
Just like the sandworms in the Dune movie, they opened their big mouths and gnawed crazily on the castle walls.
Everyone finally saw clearly the attributes of these monsters.
【Earth Escape Insect】
Grade: 4
HP: 15
Attack: 4
…
"I'm really unwilling...!"
Under the siege of the earth escape insects, the castle of Bloody Dawn 1923 collapsed, and his whole body was swallowed by the sandworms.
"Ding, the German-Italian adventurer Bloody Dawn 1923 failed the challenge and has been eliminated."
As soon as this system prompt appeared, the others were shocked. They did not expect that the second adventurer would be eliminated so soon.
Pink Luo Luoli is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot now, and her situation is also very bad, because the earth escapers are passing through her defense line. Once these damn bugs all gather under the castle, her end will be the same. Bloody Dawn 1923 is exactly the same.
"I don't want to be eaten by bugs! I don't want to die!"
Pink Luo Luoli was so frightened that she cried loudly. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she was still frightened and cried in front of death.
The expressions on the other people's faces were not good either, because they were also thinking about how to deal with the Earth Escape Insects, which could not be beaten if they were hidden underground.
At this moment, Xiaoyao Sword Immortal suddenly noticed that Zhang Ze was waving to him. He was stunned for a moment, and then saw Zhang Ze making gestures with his hands. After looking at it for a while, he realized that what Zhang Ze was gesturing seemed to be a ground thorn trap.
Although Xiaoyao Sword Immortal was still confused, he still nodded to show that he understood.
Zhang Ze then continued to draw, and this time Xiaoyao Sword Immortal saw that it was a landmine.
"Brother Rakshasa means to upgrade the ground spike trap to a land mine... Oh! I understand!"
Xiaoyao Sword Immortal's eyes suddenly lit up, and he already knew what to do.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard, and a huge explosion occurred on Zhang Ze's iron bridge!
I saw more than a dozen soil escapers being blown out of the ground. They were blown to pieces and fell to the ground piece by piece. Their broken bodies were still twisting around on the ground, looking very disgusting.
Seeing this scene, Xiaoyao Sword Immortal was completely relieved.
"Brother Rakshasa's method is really useful! I can also deal with these damn earth escape insects!"
Xiaoyao Sword Immortal's face was full of excitement. He was still worried about this matter before and didn't know what to do.
Now after Zhang Ze's reminder, he suddenly became enlightened. He smiled and thanked Zhang Ze, and then immediately followed Zhang Ze's method and placed a lot of mines on his own front, successfully preventing the soil escape insects. attack.
Although there were some Earth Escape Insects that passed through the iron bridge defense line and came to his city, but the number was very small. Xiaoyao Sword Immortal directly used his skills to eliminate all these Earth Escape Insects.
The violent Godzilla has been watching from a distance, and he saw the exchange between Zhang Ze and Xiaoyao Jianxian.
"It turns out that landmines can deal with earth escape insects..."
Although he was surprised, he also sneered in his heart: "Rakshasa, your method is really good. Although you don't want to tell me, I'm sorry because my eyes are very good, so I won't be polite to you."
He also immediately used this method on his own defensive front, placing many mines and successfully blocking the attack of the Earth Escape Insects.
Other adventurers also discovered this situation, and no one was stupid. They immediately imitated the situation, buying ground thorn traps, and spending money to upgrade them into land mines to deal with the earth escapers.
Even the Rose Queen, who always thinks highly of herself, followed suit. Even though she always looked down on Zhang Ze in her heart, when she saw that Zhang Ze actually came up with such a good idea, she had to secretly admire him in her heart.
Pink Luo Luoli also used this method to finally stop the attack of the Earth Escape Insects and save her own life. She breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to herself: "I survived the catastrophe, am I bound to be blessed in the future?"
All the adventurers present relied on Zhang Ze's method to defeat the earth escape insects and save their own lives.
But except for Xiaoyao Sword Immortal, no one expressed gratitude to Zhang Ze.
In the church, the irritable Dragon King defended Zhang Ze: "These guys have gone too far! They secretly learned the methods of Rakshasa, but they don't know how to express their gratitude to Rakshasa. These are a bunch of ungrateful guys!"
The giant god sighed: "Actually, it's normal. After all, the Rakshasa brothers are in a competitive relationship with them, and they are not from the same country. They will definitely not be grateful to Zhang Ze."
"Huh! They're just a bunch of white-eyed wolves!" Zhang Feng also said angrily.
Little Princess Qian said: "Rakshasa is really at a disadvantage by doing this. If these guys learn his methods, they will not be afraid of the earth escape insects in the future. This is equivalent to helping his opponents."
"If he had waited a little longer, more adventurers might have been eliminated, and he would have had far fewer competitors."
Moonlight Rabbit frowned and said, "However, Xiaoyao Sword Immortal may not be able to hold on anymore. He is also from our Daxia Kingdom."
Kuangtu and Qingfengzui looked here, and they were also thanking Zhang Ze in their hearts for reaching out to give Xiaoyao Sword Immortal a hand at the critical moment.
Liu Yueying said with a calm expression: "I don't think it matters. This is just one of the battles. There will be more monsters behind. Only the truly powerful can have the last laugh. I have confidence in him."
The crisis of the earth escapers has been resolved, and the remaining monsters are much easier to deal with.
Because everyone had experienced it before, they were familiar with it. In addition, we had specially deployed a defensive line against these monsters before, so we successfully eliminated all this large wave of monsters, and no one was in danger again.
Of course, because there were so many monsters in this wave, many people's defensive fronts suffered heavy losses.
Half of Xiaoyao Jianxian's arrow tower and catapult were directly destroyed. The turret was placed at the very back and did not suffer much damage, so it was saved.
Looking at the messy front line, Xiaoyao Sword Immortal sighed helplessly: "I have to spend a lot of money to rearrange the defense line, but now the gold coins are not enough..."
Others are in the same situation, and some are even worse, such as Pink Luo Luoli.
Because her soldiers were all low-level arms, they suffered almost all casualties in this battle, and only a few soldiers survived.
If such a large-scale monster attacks the city again next time, her defense line will definitely be breached.
"I don't have enough money, what should I do?"
Pink Luo Luoli looked at her treasury and cried without tears. Only now did she finally realize that there was a problem with her development path.
But with only ten minutes of rest, she didn't have time to change her defense strategy, and she didn't have so much gold coins and military merit to support her in doing so.
At this moment, among all the adventurers, apart from Zhang Ze, the Rose Queen was the most relaxed.
Her magician was extremely powerful, and she could directly destroy hundreds of monsters with just a single forbidden spell, which relieved a lot of pressure on her defense line.
But this is normal, because the level of the monsters attacking the city is too low.
The Magister is the highest level of the third-level arms. These monsters are like chickens and dogs in front of him, and it is very easy to deal with them.
Otherwise, the Rose Queen has invested so much money, and if the power is not strong, wouldn't she be angry to death?
But the Rose Queen is still unwilling to give in. She is very eager to have powerful followers like the Magic Sound Master and the Furious Princess. If her wish can come true, she doesn't care no matter what kind of monsters attack.
On the central platform, Jade finally had enough of playing with the snake head necklace. She yawned and asked Black Ball boredly: "How did the game go?"
"Dear Emerald Master, now in the sixth round of the competition, two adventurers have been eliminated, and there are still seven left..." Black Ball answered respectfully.
"Huh?" Jade raised his eyebrows impatiently and said, "It has taken so long to eliminate two people? Your efficiency is too low!"
She stood up, glanced at all the adventurers, and said coldly: "Now let's shorten the rest time! I'm a little tired, hurry up and deal with these guys so I can go back to rest."
In fact, she was not tired, she just wanted to go back quickly and show this necklace to Fang Zai.
"As you command, Master Jade."
The black ball immediately changed the rules of the game. It sent a message to all adventurers: "Fellow warriors, at the request of Lord Jade, our game rules have to make some small changes."
Zhang Ze and others were arranging their defensive fronts when they suddenly saw this prompt and were all stunned.
"Changing the rules of the game at this time? How can the rules be changed in the middle of the game?" Sickle and Iron Hammer looked surprised.
Zhang Ze also frowned, he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Black Ball continued to say: "From now on, your rest time will be changed to three minutes. At the same time, the difficulty of the game will be increased by 20%. Please hurry up and prepare actively."
As soon as he finished saying this, the whole place was in an uproar!
"Did you make a mistake?!" Pink Luo Luoli waved her fist angrily and shouted: "Three minutes are too short. My farmers can't mine many gold coins at all. How do you want me to recruit soldiers without money?"
Martial Arts Changcun also cursed with hatred: "Bagaya Road! This is forcing us to die!"
The violent Godzilla's face was gloomy. Three minutes was indeed too short. Before they could earn enough gold coins, a new wave of monsters would come, which was extremely bad for them.
Xiaoyao Sword Immortal sighed heavily and thought to himself: "Time has been shortened so much. If we want to ensure the production of gold coins, we must recruit more farmers and trade people for time... But in this way, money will not be enough. What a vicious cycle!”
The Rose Queen also looked ugly, because the change in rules disrupted her rhythm. She originally planned to play it slow and level up all her soldiers step by step, but now it seems that this is not feasible.
"In the later stages of the tower defense game, the biggest constraint is the lack of money... Now that Black Ball has changed the rules, this situation has become more serious! What should we do?"
She thought to herself and moved her gaze towards Zhang Ze: "I wonder what Rakshasa is going to do?"
At this time, Zhang Ze was also considering a response plan.
"Originally, the number of gold coins was somewhat scarce. Now that the rest time has been shortened, monster attacks will become more and more frequent. The mining time of farmers has not changed. Money is needed to recruit and upgrade soldiers, and money is also needed to recruit farmers. This It will lead to more gold coins than one can make ends meet.”
"Fortunately, I have the summoning technique. I can directly summon my followers to help me fight. I don't have to spend money to recruit soldiers, which saves me a lot of gold coins. But if I want to upgrade these followers, I still need to use a lot of gold coins. After all, they are all three Level troops, each upgrade requires hundreds or thousands of gold coins..."
Zhang Ze pinched his chin and analyzed secretly: "So the question before me now is whether to increase the number of farmers."
After careful consideration, Zhang Ze finally decided to recruit more farmers.
After all, money is the biggest obstacle to development, so Zhang Ze must ensure that there are enough gold coins.
In fact, Zhang Ze's followers can handle the situation without reaching the highest level, but if a more powerful monster appears, Zhang Ze cannot guarantee that the Magic Sound Master and the Furious Princess can withstand it.
Another point is that Zhang Ze is very worried that his followers will die in the battle, because he does not know whether these followers will be resurrected after death.
If, like in the previous battle with Max, the follower turned into a card could be resurrected after death, he wouldn't have to worry.
But now he doesn't understand the situation and doesn't dare to take risks.
To be on the safe side, he wanted to ensure that every follower survived as much as possible.
You know, Magic Music Master and Furious Princess are both very good followers. If they die in battle, Zhang Ze really doesn’t know where else to find such good followers.
After making up his mind, Zhang Ze recruited a hundred farmers in one go and spent most of the money in the treasury, but he still kept five hundred gold coins to upgrade the Dark Dragon King.
Originally, Zhang Ze planned to use the money to upgrade the Magic Music Master or the Furious Princess to the full level, but now something happened, he had to change his original plan and use most of the money to recruit farmers, hoping that after a short rest Guaranteed supply of gold coins within time
The Dark Dragon King is still in its elementary state. Zhang Ze upgraded it to the intermediate level to ensure that it can survive safely in the next monster siege.
After all, he is now trapped in the castle and cannot go out to fight, let alone protect these followers, so he can only enhance their strength and improve their self-protection ability.
Seeing hundreds of farmers rushing into the gold mine like a swarm, Zhang Ze looked away. Now that his military exploits were enough for him to use [Summoning Technique] once, he was thinking about who to summon.
"In the last wave of monsters attacking the city, weird monsters like earth escapers appeared. According to the urinary properties of the black ball, I estimate that earth escapers will definitely appear in the next wave of monsters, and maybe other new monsters will appear. , I have to find a way to deal with it.”
Now the only way to deal with the Earth Escapers is with landmines, which can only be obtained by upgrading the Ground Spike Trap.
This process requires a lot of gold coins. Zhang Ze has already spent all the gold coins to recruit farmers. If the number of earth escapers in the next wave of monsters increases significantly, then he will have to prepare more landmines.
"Landmines are consumables, not a long-term solution."
"It would be great if there was any follower who could deal with creatures with strange abilities like the earth escapers..."
Zhang Ze checked the followers one by one in his summoning space, trying to find a suitable follower.
Then he saw Aladdin.
"I remember that Aladdin could make a wish on his genie to change the status and attributes of enemy targets... So can he make these earth escapers change their action state and move on land?"
This idea is a bit bold, but not unfeasible.
In addition, Aladdin himself is very strong. Even if Zhang Ze's idea cannot be realized, he can still be used to defend against monster attacks.
All in all, you can’t go wrong summoning Aladdin.
So Zhang Ze immediately decided to summon Aladdin!
"Do you want to use 800 points of military merit?"
"yes!"
brush!
Aladdin appeared out of thin air below the castle. He stepped on the flying carpet, crossed his arms and looked proud.
Zhang Ze briefly checked his attributes.
【Aladdin】
Grade: 3
HP: 7
Attack: 15
Armor: 300
Cost: 100 gold coins
Upgrade: Aladdin -> Oil Lamp Giant (needs to consume 500 gold coins) -> True God Lord (needs to consume 5000 gold coins).
…
"It seems that Aladdin is classified as a melee soldier by the system, but he has a flying carpet under his feet. Can he attack air targets like a dark dragon?"
Now, the first iron bridge was still undefended, so Zhang Ze sent Aladdin over.
In this way, all three iron bridges will be defended.
…
Zhulou: Happy New Year to my readers!
