Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 496 also needs to loosen up a bit.

The azure army continued its advance.

The 86th outer island is the Heavenly King Palace, which is now empty, and the Four Heavenly Kings are still "guests" in the prehistoric world.

The people of the Azure Star Boundary occupied the sky island without lifting a finger, and even left two combatants to guard it.

Next, on the 87th outer island, the Demon Realm, the island is home to a complete Beast Tower.

The seventh-tier [swimming fin] leisurely swam in the sky, followed by a large group of plasma fins. As it flew, the buzzing and electric current sounds overlapped, forming a unique tinkling sound.

Behind them, on a high hill, in front of a Ferris wheel, two sixth-tier [Qiong Ha] gazed arrogantly at the sky as if monitoring it, their appearance extremely cold. They occasionally lashed the ground with their thick tails, as if they were eagerly anticipating a battle.

The two [Gapei] also reached the sixth level. They sat slumped in front of [Qiongha], their eyelids drooping, as if they had suffered from heatstroke. They looked half-dead and occasionally let out a cry, which formed a visible golden sound wave that spread outward and made the swings not far away sway.

Further ahead of [Gapi] are the sixth-tier [Trash Chicken] and [Sweet Shrimp], with [Sweet Shrimp] in front and [Trash Chicken] behind, one chicken and one duck, like two heavily armored chariots patrolling along the road paved with seashells.

A small hill on the right side of the island is the territory of the sixth-tier [Six Eyes], where there is a roller coaster tunnel.

The depression on the left is the territory of a Tier 6 [Bear Ba], where there is a rainbow slide...

The Four Monkey Kings also arrived here, hiding in a small wooden hut, preparing for a sneak attack that disregarded martial ethics...

This demon realm was once the "Wooden Dummy Alley" of Bliss City, a very popular place where players came to try their skills every day. Lei Chi said that if players could successfully pass through it alone in trial mode, they would be allowed to leave Bliss City at will.

The reason for establishing this rule is that Lei Chi is worried that players are too reckless and hopes that they can develop cautiously and avoid going out recklessly and capsizing.

However, with the subsequent upgrades of the [Swimming Fin], [Poor Ha], and [Bear Ba] Beast Towers, almost no players were able to actually clear this custom level. But it remained very popular because the mutated beasts had bizarre appearances, most of which were quite comical, and their behavior was also very interesting. Gradually, this place became like a zoo, attracting many players and residents to come and visit.

It is also a popular dating spot for couples. After having dinner at the Fengbofu Hotel, young couples usually come here to play and stroll around.

Therefore, the designers of Jile Construction built a number of entertainment facilities such as a Ferris wheel and roller coaster on this outer island, and laid many shell-shaped paths, turning a military stronghold into an outdoor entertainment venue that is loved by the public.

Lei Chi was unaware of this.

In fact, the city of Bliss now has a large population. A large portion of them are not combatants. Some work for mining groups, some work for construction groups, some work for Mushroom Castle, and so on. They have their own social lives, their own ideals and pursuits, and are more like ordinary people, forming a vibrant community.

At this moment, in the square of Bliss City, many ordinary people were watching the scene created by the two holy beasts in the sky, gritting their teeth and cursing angrily. Their voices were extremely loud, and some were talking loudly and pointing out the country, shouting that they wanted to go to the battlefield and defend the demon realm, and so on. Among them were many old people, women and children, which aroused the city management team to be mobilized.

Seeing these commoners, Lei Chi felt a sense of reality and smiled, saying, "They are all lovely people!"

With a wave of his hand, he used thunder magic to push aside the crowd in front of him and set down the [Temple of All Beings and Faith].

This is the fourth special religious artifact in the City of Bliss.

Lei Chi briefly explained the effects of the Temple of All Beings and Faith to Deedlit, and was also looking forward to seeing who would win the favor of this temple.

Before long, the battle broke out. The Azure Army launched a massive attack on the Demon Realm. Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and other attractions were quickly destroyed. The mutated beasts in the Demon Realm also revealed their ferocious side, truly resembling demons as they fought against the invaders.

Lei Chi watched the battle and discovered that one of the intruders was a small team attempting to capture a mutated beast, using nets, iron cages, and many other tools.

This was destined to fail.

This also shows that the invaders really didn't understand the Beast Towers. Perhaps in their eyes, those Beast Towers were some kind of real creature.

The battle was fierce, and Lei Chi kept a close eye on the battlefield, discovering several "experts" in succession.

The first one is the Na'vi "York" who defeated the four great monkey kings by himself. By observing his fighting style, Lei Chi gained a simple understanding of the psychic martial arts style.

The second was a burly warrior wearing a vest-style combat suit. He was not human; he had a furry tail, was extremely fast, possessed incredible strength, and could use energy wave-like techniques.

According to the introduction given by Kulin, this person is named "Carter". He is a very rare Saya alien in the star field. Saya aliens have a unique physique and are born warriors. They can adapt to various extreme environments and often have a burst of power when they are on the verge of death. Moreover, their recovery ability is amazing. As long as they survive a great disaster, their strength will definitely be greatly improved. Carter's lineage is "Qi Master".

Lei Chi was concerned about this Carter not only because of his extremely strong combat power, but also because of his methods. Lei Chi had already mastered the "Turtle Breathing Technique" in the "Turtle Flow Qi Gong" and he vaguely felt that Carter's fighting methods had the shadow of the "Turtle Flow Qi Gong".

Lei Chi didn't know if the legacy of the Cowardly Emperor in the Holy God Palace was related to the outer starry sky. In fact, he couldn't even determine whether the Cowardly Emperor was a player, nor did he know the origins of those locked in the Holy God Palace. However, he had more and more guesses in his mind.

The third expert noticed by Lei Chi was a god, the same race as De Gang.

Judging from her appearance alone, that Protoss expert was also a man-made mecha, but her physique was more feminine. She was much taller than De Gang, estimated to be over five meters tall. She used a technologically advanced metal whip as her weapon, and her movements were swift and her fighting style was very elegant. Her overall combat power was several levels higher than De Gang's.

Kulin didn't recognize this expert from the Protoss race, but he knew quite a bit about them. According to him, the Protoss race was rare in the outer star system, and every time they appeared, they were often the target of various families vying to win them over. The Protoss race did not need any lineage or tradition; they were born to survive in the universe. They only needed to fight constantly to unleash the power in their bloodline and continuously grow stronger.

When discussing the Protoss, Kulin would intentionally or unintentionally glance at Degang and the other Protoss players with a mocking expression on his face. The meaning was clear: compared to that Protoss expert from the Azure Star Realm, Degang and the others were trash.

The last expert who caught Lei Chi's attention had hands and feet like eagle claws and a long tail. He was a powerful figure from an unknown race. Even Ku Lin didn't know where this guy came from or what his name was. However, he was extremely powerful and seemed to have some kind of method to bind his target. He immediately engaged in battle with [Xiong Ba] and defeated him head-on.

It should be noted that although [Xiong Ba] is only a sixth-tier tower, its attributes are excellent. In terms of melee combat ability, it may even be stronger than [Sang Biao] of the same tier, and can be compared with a seventh-tier tower.

The seventh-tier tower can defend against mid-level gods, so the Eagle Claw expert could kill [Xiong Ba] head-on. It is estimated that killing an ordinary mid-level god in melee combat would be a piece of cake.

"This person is likely a master secretly trained by the Lan family. I can't discern what style he practices, but based on his combat performance, he's stronger than Carter and York, approaching the Void Annihilation level. He doesn't seem to be using his full strength yet. In this army, he should be the second strongest after the Lan family head!"

Kulin's comments made Lei Chi even more concerned about the eagle-clawed man.

"It's a pity that the Lan family patriarch didn't make a move, but judging from the performance of his warriors, they shouldn't pose much of a threat to me..."

Lei Chi silently made a plan in his heart.

Moments later, the battle in the Demon Realm ended. The island was almost completely razed to the ground, and the mutated beast towers within were all wiped out. The people of the Azure Star Realm also paid a heavy price.

After the battle, they rested for half a day in the ruins of the Demon Realm before continuing their journey to the 88th outer island.

The 88th outer island is the Wheel of Reincarnation Palace.

The Samsara Palace is the most unique of the 108 outer islands of Bliss City, and it is also the one most like a city. There are already many buildings inside, and at the very center is the War Alliance Teleportation Array. The seventh-tier mutated beast tower [Meat Bun] is right next to that teleportation array.

The Samsara Palace was the territory of the Beast Tribe God players, but now those Beast Tribe God players had already withdrawn and were waiting for battle in the Primordial World. Meanwhile, Guo Yuheng, the master of the Samsara Palace, was staring at the teleportation panel of [Meat Bun]. She had accepted Lei Chi's order to teleport several intruders.

"It's time to stretch our arms and legs!"

Lei Chi said something softly, and the next moment his figure flashed and disappeared, leaving the Bliss City Square through the teleportation array.

He went to the 104th outer island.

The outer island 104 is still in its original custom level state, without a single defensive tower. After entering Leichi, the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore appears under his feet, but no Lotus World or Thunder Magic [Azure Dragon King] is set up.

"Right here, let me witness the power of an extraterrestrial expert... I hope Lan Zheng won't disappoint me!"

Lei Chi looked up at the sea and then established a one-way telepathic connection with Guo Yuheng, instructing her to send Lan Zheng and the four people he cared about over if the opportunity arose.

Guo Yuheng dared not disobey Lei Chi's wishes, and she waited earnestly for the battle to break out.

Before long, the army of the Azure Star Realm arrived at the Palace of Reincarnation. Unaware of the [Meat Bun]'s abilities, they flocked to the island and were subsequently teleported away.

Guo Yuheng teleported about half of them directly to the Primordial World of Outer Island 108, a small number to Dark Star Palace of Outer Island 107, Azure Flame Palace of Outer Island 106, Qilin Cliff of Outer Island 105, and some were randomly teleported to other outer islands by [Meat Bun].

The Azure Army was quickly divided, and a battle broke out. In the primordial world, the strongest group of beast towers in Bliss City finally began to unleash their power.

The eighth-tier [Great Mighty Tiger], draped in a colorful plumage, had already achieved the Tiger-Crane Dual Form with the sixth-tier [Sky Crane], and attacked directly in its strongest form.

The Four Primordial Saints, the Twin Primordial Demons, as well as the Primordial Phoenix, the Panda Sword Immortal, and the Primordial Iron-Eating Beast, were all killed upon encounter.

The players in the world of Boom Boom also became excited, showing some of the momentum of the Fourth Calamity, and began a brave charge.

The Dark Star Beast in the Dark Star Palace, the Universe Azure Dragon in the Azure Flame Hall, and the primordial Qilin in Qilin Cliff finally had their chance to unleash their power, and like ferocious beasts devouring people, they began a round of slaughter.

The divided Azure Flame Army quickly suffered heavy casualties, leaving many completely bewildered.

On the Thunder Pool side, after waiting for a long time, they finally encountered their first opponent, the Nami, York.

He didn't need to fight, and in the past, he certainly wouldn't have. But Lei Chi now understands very well that what he lacks most is not cultivation techniques or gold coins, but combat experience.

Combat experience can only be accumulated in battle; there is no other way!

Moreover, Lei Chi also needs to hone his will and comprehend the essence of the art through battle; otherwise, he will hardly make any progress, at least in terms of the essence of the art.

"Hmm? Who are you?"

York, the Nami who was teleported there by the [Meat Bun], was a little confused, but she cautiously watched the Thunder Pool and did not make any rash moves.

Lei Chi said, "One player."

"A player?" York's eyes lit up. "Very well, you seem quite composed, as if you came prepared. You must be quite strong. Shall we fight here?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Lei Chi nodded.

York's expression hardened, and he said, "Nami, York, a psychic, please state your name so I know who you are fighting."

Lei Chi said, "Humans, Lei Chi, the light of beasts!"

"Alright, show me the power of the Beast's Light!"

As he spoke, York launched his attack. A dozen or so throwing knives appeared behind him, controlled by his mental power, and hurtled toward Lei Chi at lightning speed.

At the same time, an invisible "psychic cone" shot towards Lei Chi's brow. This is a unique mental attack method of a psychic. Ordinary people would be annihilated by this attack and die on the spot. Even those with strong mental power would suffer soul damage from York's psychic cone attack, showing symptoms such as momentary daze or standing still.

Psychological attacks are extremely difficult to detect; most people can't even accurately perceive them.

At this moment, Lei Chi stood still, his feet on the Golden Lotus of the Other Shore. With the power of the system, his life value increased by 1.3 trillion!

Keep in mind that Qinghuo's avatar only has 500 billion life points. Lei Chi is confident that York's attack won't hurt him, and he's also willing to try to withstand the mentalist's flying knife head-on.

As for the invisible and intangible cone of mental energy, others could not perceive it, but Lei Chi immediately noticed it.

His thoughts numbered over 7600, his divine sense was powerful, forming a divine consciousness. When he sensed the cone of mental energy, his divine sense instinctively went to block it, and he easily shattered the cone of mental energy.
