Chapter 144: One Man Holds the Pass! The True Forty-Meter Great Cleaver!

The third scenario, defend the gate!

The first objective is to protect the goddess statue for ten minutes.

"If you want to touch the statue, you'll have to step over my corpse!"

Luo Chenyu stood at the gorge entrance of the valley, gazing at the countless abyssal beasts before him.

The gorge entrance was roughly 50 meters wide; under normal circumstances, defending it completely would be impossible.

He wasn't a proper defender, and he had no intention of defending.

"Just kill them all, only 500 targets!"

But once the monsters drew near, Luo Chenyu showed no fear whatsoever. Wielding 【Overlord】, he stood like an ancient general at the gate, one man holding the pass!

"Burst!"

The third 【Steel Shield】 appeared, replacing the second shield.

What followed was swath upon swath of abyssal beast corpses flying backward.

……

Countless damage numbers dazzled Luo Chenyu's eyes.

Since he had hidden the kill information of ordinary monsters, he couldn't tell how it was going either.

Anyway… aside from the Nine-Layered Abyss points, the experience bar didn't budge at all.

And this single strike.

Had already pushed his first objective past halfway.

Immediately after, he charged forward into the barrage of ranged attacks.

Every swing of his spiked club took out a swath of abyssal beasts.

The shields… had already stacked up!

Before the abyssal beasts on either flank could even enter the gorge, they vanished — 500 targets complete!

"Ding! You have exceeded the objective of the 101st Layer of the 【Nine-Layered Abyss】. Nine-Layered Abyss points +50000, Demon Dragon Abyss map fragment +1!"

"Ding! The 102nd Layer abyssal beasts will appear in 30 seconds!"

Luo Chenyu stared at the prompt in surprise.

A Demon Dragon Abyss map fragment?

He immediately opened his backpack, and upon seeing the item, he was instantly speechless!

"What the heck, it needs 50 fragments to fully reveal the destination?"

"And… the Nine-Layered Abyss points are way too few!"

But alas, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Just keep grinding!

Fortunately, although those abyssal beasts gave no experience, at least they gave Nine-Layered Abyss points.

Settling his mind, he kept grinding!

Tower defense?

He'd played plenty of it in his past life, earning himself the title of "tower defense ace"!

And now it had stirred up quite a few fond memories for him.

One wave…

Two waves…

Three waves…

……

As Luo Chenyu kept killing monsters, finally on the tenth wave, a different kind of abyssal beast appeared.

It wasn't that the monster type was different — it was that a BOSS-class abyssal beast had appeared.

An earth-dragon wreathed in black flames!

Its terrifying appearance reminded him of the several 【Blood Skeleton · Earth-Dragon】s in the ruins of the Skeleton Throne.

If this earth-dragon lost its flesh and blood, it would probably look about the same as them.

But…

This earth-dragon wasn't nearly as "friendly" as the 【Blood Skeleton · Earth-Dragon】s — it launched an attack from far away without hesitation.

A ball of black flame blasted out from its bloody maw.

It came so fast that Luo Chenyu almost took the hit.

Brutal Charge!

Luo Chenyu didn't care about anything; he activated 【Brutal Charge】, ignored the black flame, and charged straight through to slam into the earth-dragon.

And then…

There was no "then"!

In less than 30 seconds, the earth-dragon was beaten to death by him.

Abruptly.

Luo Chenyu suddenly felt his left hand grow slightly hot. Looking closely, he saw that the tattoo formed by the 【Black Long Tuteng】 had stirred.

The black dragon on the tattoo opened its maw.

A tremendous suction force instantly appeared, drawing the earth-dragon's corpse on the ground into the dragon's maw.

"Ding! 【Black Long Tuteng】 has triggered the 'Divine Blessing' effect, absorbing the flesh and blood essence of the level-80 special beast 【Black Flame Earth-Dragon】. Growth value +999!"

Luo Chenyu: "???"

At this moment, he felt an urge to curse someone out.

1000 points of growth value, damn thing boosted 999 points, the last point just wouldn't come no matter what!

Even if he weren't OCD, he couldn't stand this!

But, he calmed his mind.

Yet his heart was filled with a surge of wild joy.

Because the 【Black Long Tuteng】 could absorb the blood and flesh essence of the dragon race — didn't that mean… his 【Demon Dragon Abyss Map Fragment】 would be useful?

Demon Dragon Abyss — just hearing the name, you knew there had to be demon dragons inside!

When the time comes…

Maybe he could push the 【Black Long Tuteng】's growth up.

Thinking about it, he still felt a little thrill of excitement!

Luo Chenyu stopped obsessing over the "999" critical hit damage and shifted his attention to the next wave of incoming Abyss Beasts.

The eleventh wave.

Survive 30 minutes or slay 1,500 Abyss Beasts.

Easy and pleasant.
