Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 112 Plundering Skills

Liu Huasheng felt as if he had entered the deep starry sky.

He was standing on a huge platform, which was divided into red and blue areas in the middle.

I am in the blue area. In front of me is a crystallized road about six meters wide, and behind me is a huge blue light gate.

There are plenty of open spaces on both sides of the road in the crystal zone, and beyond the platform lies a vast void where stars glitter.

At this moment, a sliver of starlight flew to Liu Huasheng's front and transformed into a semi-transparent information panel.

This panel contains a mini-map of the duel arena, along with a large amount of text information explaining the tower defense duel mechanics.

Liu Huasheng read it carefully and quickly understood what a tower defense duel was.

Simply put, he is currently in a duel space where no one can interfere; he can only leave after completing the duel.

Before the duel begins, both sides will receive 1000 stamina points specifically for the duel, as well as 10 gold coins, 10 wood, and 10 universal materials.

The first ten minutes after entering the site are preparation time for tower construction.

Ten minutes later, the duel begins. Void monsters will spawn simultaneously in the portals in the areas where the duelists are located, and they will charge towards the other side along the crystal path.

Both sides' defensive towers can only attack void monsters that enter their respective areas.

Void monsters will not attack defensive towers or duelists; instead, they will rush towards the opponent's portal. Once inside, the duelist will lose a certain amount of health.

When one of the duelists runs out of health, the duel ends, the space shatters, and both return to their starting positions.

Neither participant in the duel will actually die, but the winner can steal one of the opponent's skills or 50% of their health. "The rules of this duel are simple enough, so let's begin—"

Liu Huasheng rubbed his chin. At this moment, the 1,000 stamina points and tower-building resources for duels had been distributed. He saw that Tyrande on the other side had already started building towers, so he immediately got busy as well.

"1000 stamina points are just enough for me to build 5 Tier 3 defensive towers —"

Liu Huasheng ran forward a hundred meters, then swung his large construction hammer and quickly built a defensive tower next to the crystallization belt road. It turned out to be a third-tier [Sky Strike Sword].

To his surprise, this [Heavenly Sword] still possessed magical abilities and was also a [Slaying Platform]!

"Sky Strike Sword is not bad either!"

With a thought, Liu Huasheng used the [Tower Shift] skill, consuming 100 special gold coins, to move the [Sky Strike Sword] platform to the forefront of the blue area of ​​the crystal belt road.

He continued building a second defensive tower, and surprisingly, he created another [Heavenly Strike Sword], whose magical ability was also [Slaying Platform].

"Winning the 'Sky Fencing' twice is like winning the lottery—"

Liu Huasheng muttered something and quickly moved the second [Sky Strike Sword] onto the crystallized path, placing it right behind the first one.

He then built a third defensive tower, this time not the [Sky Strike Sword], but a Tier 3 [Ice Cone Tower].

【Ice Cone Tower】Range 100 meters, attack power 150, attack speed 1.0, fires ice cones with a slowing effect to attack enemies.

Its amazing ability is [Freeze], which gives the ice spike a 10% chance to freeze. The frozen target will be turned into an ice sculpture and cannot move for two seconds.

Liu Huasheng glanced at the attribute information of the [Ice Cone Tower], then continued to swing the Great Construction Hammer. After 20 swings, he built the fourth Tier 3 defensive tower, named [Carnivorous Plant]!

This is a plant defense tower, with long, curled leaves that look like snake tails growing at its base. The main body is a vine that resembles the neck of a giant snake, and a bright red flower as big as a buffalo hangs from the top of this vine.

Immediately afterwards, one vine turned into nine vines, each with a giant, bright red flower on it.

Liu Huasheng checked its attribute information. The original man-eating flower was only a very ordinary defensive tower. Its attack range was only 5 meters. Its attack method was to devour. It could only devour a small target at a time. After devouring, it would digest the target at a rate of 180 points of health per second. Moreover, it had no attack ability during the digestion period.

Its magical ability is the [Nine-Headed Flower], which directly increases the number of man-eating flowers to nine. Each flower can devour a target individually, but the consumption rate becomes 20 points of health per second.

"It's pretty useless!"

Liu Huasheng made his assessment, and continued swinging his hammer, quickly building the fifth defensive tower, named the "High Energy Ray Tower".

This defensive tower has a range of 100 meters and fires high-energy rays to inflict continuous damage on targets, dealing 200 damage per second!

Its amazing ability is [Penetration], which grants a high-energy ray penetrating effect, allowing it to pierce through the target and damage units behind it.

"Mission accomplished!"

Liu Huasheng put away his construction hammer and looked at the duel arena minimap. He had consumed a total of 1000 stamina, 10200 gold coins, and 10000 wood!

At this time, the opponent's Tyrande also completed the construction of the defensive tower.

Liu Huasheng could clearly see the layout of her defensive towers and their names on the duel minimap.

This native lord built a total of 8 defensive towers!

Moreover, the arrangement is extremely symmetrical.

At the very front are two Tier 2 [Ancient War Trees], standing on either side of the crystallization belt road, like two gatekeepers.

The ancient war tree seemed to be a combination of rock and ancient tree, and its shape resembled a giant bear standing upright with huge hands.

Behind the Ancient Tree of War, on both sides of the Crystal Belt Road, four Tier 1 Ancient Guardians were symmetrically built.

Further on are two second-tier Trees of Life!

Liu Huasheng could only see the name of the [Tree of Life], but could not see its attribute information.

Soon, the duel began!

Void monsters burst out simultaneously and swiftly from the two enormous red and blue light gates!

Liu Huasheng glanced at it and saw that the void monster on his side was a small blue elephant, only the size of a calf, round and sturdy, with 100 health points. It was a first-tier monster, swinging its long trunk and running happily forward. Above its head was a golden number "1", which meant that after entering the portal, the opponent would lose one health point.

Liu Huasheng waited for a moment, and then the little elephant from the opposite side ran over. It was red, swinging its long trunk, hopping and skipping, looking very happy.

However, the moment the lead elephant stepped onto the fencing platform, disaster struck—boom boom boom boom boom—

The Thunder Sword fell swiftly!

The Heavenly Thunder Sword, striking every millisecond, was so fast that even the eyes couldn't keep up.

Liu Huasheng felt as if a firework had just exploded and then gone out. In less than the blink of an eye, the cheerful little elephant was blasted to death, not even qualified to be bound by the chains of thunder.

The baby elephants behind rushed forward and died instantly!

In theory, a celestial swordsman could kill ten baby elephants in one second.

Liu Huasheng felt completely at ease, watching the battle with a relaxed and leisurely attitude.

Soon, the void monster grew stronger. Although it was still a small elephant, it grew larger, comparable to an adult domestic pig, and its health points increased to 300!

However, even a baby elephant with 300 health points can only survive for 0.3 seconds on the Sky Fencing Platform.

Liu Huasheng could only see the chains of lightning flash and then disappear.

The lightning chains actually bind very quickly, taking only 0.1 seconds to complete and disappearing after 0.2 seconds.

Liu Huasheng felt that the speed was too fast for his naked eye to keep up with. Anyway, he just watched as the little elephant rushed to the Sky Fencing Platform, stood there, and then turned into light and disappeared.

A dozen seconds later, level 2 elephants with 600 life points appeared, each with the number "3" on its head.

At this point, Tylandor was already under pressure!

The little elephant with 600 health points is already able to break through the firepower blockade of the Tree of War, the Ancient Guardian, and the Tree of Life.

In fact, the Tree of Life has no offensive capabilities. It is a special defensive tower that can restore health to surrounding tree-type defensive towers, troop units, players, and others.

The two Trees of Life allow Tyrande to regenerate 40 health points per second. Her original health was 2,000, which is much higher than that of a regular Tower Defense Lord player.

However, Liu Huasheng's health points reached a staggering 3815!

A moment later, a baby elephant with 1,000 health points appeared, putting even more pressure on Tyrande's defense. Every two or three seconds, a baby elephant would slip through, and she had to rely solely on healing to withstand the attacks.

As for Liu Huasheng, his two Sky Swords were enough to defend him perfectly, and the defensive towers behind him didn't even have a chance to show their strength.

A moment later, two thousand blood elephants appeared, each with the number "20" on its head.

Liu Huasheng could finally clearly see the scene of being bound by the Thunder Chains.

The moment the elephants stepped onto the platform, they were immediately bound by eight lightning chains, instantly pulled to the center of the platform, and subjected to a thousand lightning sword attacks per second, with each elephant surviving for two seconds.

The elephants don't respawn quickly, so the two Sky Fencing Platforms can handle them reliably.

A moment later, the level 6 war elephants appeared, forming a line. They had 3000 health points and the number "30!" above their heads.

Tyrando collapsed, and her health points dropped rapidly!

On Liu Huasheng's side, the two Heavenly Swords were barely able to hold their ground, which could be considered as going all out. The scene on them was dazzling, with thousands of Heavenly Thunder Swords striking every second, crackling like fireworks.

A minute later, a level seven mammoth appeared in the blue light gate on Liu Huasheng's side, but the duel space suddenly shattered.

Tyrande's health has been depleted.

"That's it? I haven't even used my full strength yet!"

Liu Huasheng felt he hadn't had enough, but the duel space had shattered, and the next moment he appeared in front of Silvermoon City, with Tyrande kneeling in front of him and bowing in greeting.

An information panel appeared in front of him.

"Congratulations on winning the tower defense duel. As the victor, you can plunder one of the original lord Tyrandor's lord skills."

Choose one from: [Repair Tower], [Move Tower], [Hidden Information], or [Tower Defense Duel]!

"Alternatively, you can choose to plunder 50% of the original lord Tyrandor's health, totaling 1,000 points. Please make your choice as soon as possible. If you do not make a choice within 30 seconds, the system will automatically make one for you."

Liu Huasheng's eyes lit up!

Tyrande actually possesses two skills that I don't have!

"Hidden information? Sounds good! Tower defense duel, so that's a skill! Tsk tsk tsk, a thousand health points isn't bad, but you can't have your cake and eat it too—"

After a quick thought, Liu Huasheng realized the opportunity was too good to pass up and ultimately chose to plunder the [Tower Defense Duel] skill.

The next moment, a golden light flashed on Liu Huasheng's body, and the skill [Tower Defense Duel] appeared in his skill list.

[Tower Defense Duel: Limited to Tower Defense Lords, requires 100 stamina points to use.]

The opponent can choose to refuse the battle. If they refuse, you will receive 100 stamina points, and they will need to pay an additional 200 gold coins.

If the opponent has no gold coins to pay, you must accept the challenge!

Note: This skill can be activated across space, as long as the opponent's name and player ID are known. However, you can only challenge the same target once a day, and once you accept the challenge, you cannot challenge them again for 30 days!
