Chapter 70

Luo Chenyu is an alternative.

If you can't beat me to death, I'll beat you to death!

At this moment, Luo Chenyu was in such a situation in the third plot.

In his sight were countless Abyss fierce beasts.

And he needed to guard the goddess statue behind him...

Under the attack of endless fierce beasts, persist for ten minutes or kill 500 fierce beasts.

Most importantly, don't let the goddess statue be destroyed by the fierce beasts.

When he saw this mode, Luo Chenyu was stunned.

Isn't this...

Tower Defense???

The third plot, guarding!

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

"If you want to touch the statue, you must step over my corpse!"

Luo Chenyu stood at the mouth of the valley, gazing at the countless Abyss fierce beasts before him.

The valley mouth was about 50 meters wide; under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to guard it completely.

He wasn't an orthodox defensive warrior, and he didn't intend to guard it either.

"Just kill, it's only 500 targets!"

But after the monsters approached, Luo Chenyu had no fear, holding [Ba Tian], like an ancient general, one man guarding the pass!

"Explode!"

The third [Steel Shield] appeared, replacing the second shield.

What followed was the corpses of fierce beasts flying backward in droves.

-1.857 million!

-1.796 million!

-1.883 million!

Countless damage numbers blurred Luo Chenyu's eyes.

Because he hid the kill information of common monsters, he couldn't see how it was.

Anyway... except for the Nine-Layer Abyss points, the experience bar didn't even move.

And this blow.

Made his progress toward the first objective more than halfway complete.

Immediately, he rushed up, facing countless ranged attacks.

Every time he swung the mace, he could take away a whole area of Abyss fierce beasts.

The shield... had already stacked up!

Before the Abyss fierce beasts on both sides could enter the valley mouth, they disappeared; the 500 targets were completed!

"Ding, you exceeded the objective of the [Nine-Layer Abyss] 301st floor, Nine-Layer Abyss Points +50,000, Magic Dragon Abyss Map Fragment +1!"

"Ding, the Abyss fierce beasts for the 302nd floor will appear in 30 seconds!"

Luo Chenyu looked at the prompt information in surprise.

Magic Dragon Abyss Map Fragment?

He immediately opened his backpack, and when he saw the item, he was speechless!

"What the hell, it needs 50 pieces to fully reveal the destination?"

"And... the Nine-Layer Abyss points are too little!"

Alas, when under the eaves, one has to bow one's head.

Can only farm!

Fortunately, those Abyss fierce beasts, although they had no experience, at least had Nine-Layer Abyss points.

Calm down, keep farming!

Tower defense?

He played quite a lot in his previous life, known as the "Tower Defense Little Expert"!

Now it brought back quite a few good memories for him.

One wave...

Two waves...

Three waves...

As Luo Chenyu continuously killed monsters, finally in the tenth wave, different Abyss fierce beasts appeared.

It wasn't that the types of monsters were different, but BOSS-level Abyss fierce beasts appeared.

A ground dragon covered in black fire!

That terrifying appearance reminded him of the [Blood Skeleton · Ground Dragon] in the ruins of the Skeleton Throne.

If this ground dragon lost its flesh and blood, it should be about the same as them.

But...

This ground dragon wasn't as "friendly" as the [Blood Skeleton · Ground Dragon], launching an attack directly from afar.

A ball of black flames erupted from the gaping maw.

The speed was so fast that Luo Chenyu almost got hit.

Savage Charge!

Luo Chenyu didn't care about anything, activated [Savage Charge] to ignore the black flames, and crashed directly into the ground dragon.

Then...

There was no then!

In less than 30 seconds, the ground dragon was hammered to death by him.

Abruptly.

Luo Chenyu suddenly felt his left hand slightly hot; looking closely, it was the tattoo transformed from the [Black Dragon Totem] that had moved.

The black giant dragon on the tattoo opened its dragon mouth.

A massive suction force appeared instantly, sucking the ground dragon's corpse on the ground into the dragon's mouth.

"Ding, [Black Dragon Totem] activated the 'Divine Blessing' effect, absorbing the flesh and blood essence of the Level 80 special fierce beast [Black Flame Ground Dragon], growth value increased by 999 points!"

Luo Chenyu: "???"

At this moment, he had the urge to curse.

1,000 points of growth value, it actually increased by 999 points, and the last point just wouldn't come!

Even if he wasn't a perfectionist, he couldn't take this anger!

But, calm down.

His heart was filled with ecstasy.

Because the [Black Dragon Totem] can absorb the flesh and blood essence of the dragon race, doesn't that mean... his [Magic Dragon Abyss Map Fragment] has a use?

Magic Dragon Abyss, just hearing the name, there must be magic dragons inside!

By then...

Perhaps he could improve the [Black Dragon Totem]'s growth.

Thinking about it, he was still a bit excited!

Luo Chenyu didn't dwell on the "999" critical damage anymore, focusing his attention on the next wave of Abyss fierce beasts about to strike.

Eleventh wave.

Persist for 30 minutes or kill 1,500 Abyss fierce beasts.

Easy and happy.

The twenty-first wave.

Survive for 45 minutes or kill 2,500 Abyss beasts.

……

Just as Luo Chenyu had said, to touch the statue, one must step over his corpse.

The width of the valley entrance was just so; the number of monsters passing through at any given time was roughly the same.

He stood in the middle, blocking and killing monsters without pause.

Whenever a "sly" beast tried to sneak past, he would bombard it with his shield.

He truly achieved the feat of one man blocking ten thousand!

However……

When the forty-first wave arrived, Luo Chenyu was dumbfounded.

Flying beasts!!

It was actually flying beasts!!

Moreover, countless Abyss beasts were charging in from the ground; the pincer attack caught him off guard.

"This is clearly trying to keep me from passing……"

He had checked the statue's durability earlier; it was a mere 10 million. If attacked by flying beasts, it would certainly be toppled in a short time.

Unreasonable!!

Luo Chenyu pondered for a moment and ran straight to the front of the statue.

[Steel Shield] shields stacked up; he could only use bombardment to deal with those flying beasts, otherwise, it would be hard for him to hit the targets.

Finally, the flying beasts arrived.

Strange-looking four-winged vultures, seeing the statue as if it were rotting meat, dove down in a swarm.

Without waiting for the ground beasts to approach, he impatiently detonated his shield.

In an instant.

Countless four-winged vultures fell like raindrops.

But, the crisis returned!

Wave after wave of four-winged vultures dove from the sky, with a sense of not stopping until their goal was reached.

In just a few seconds, another group had gathered.

Luo Chenyu had no choice but to detonate a second [Steel Shield] to clear this group of four-winged vultures.

And at this moment.

The Abyss beasts on the ground also entered the valley, surrounding Luo Chenyu and the Goddess Statue.

"Damn it……"

Luo Chenyu felt his scalp tingle; he could only raise [Ba Tian] and begin frantically bombarding the ground.

Ba Tian!!

A group attack skill attached to the mace.

Formless power gathered, turning into black fierce wolves that charged in all directions.

Wherever the black wolves passed, Abyss beasts were sent flying, falling to the ground dead or alive.

Luo Chenyu was surprised to find.

The four-winged vultures in the sky were also affected, with many dying.

It was actually……

An omnidirectional attack!!

A glimmer of hope appeared in Luo Chenyu's eyes—hope to pass the 41st wave!

Taking advantage of this gap.

Luo Chenyu exerted force with his legs, [Savage Charge]ing toward a "sly" four-winged vulture in the sky; before he could even swing his mace, it was killed by the frantic impact of [Savage Charge].

Immediately, a turn!

He attacked another four-winged vulture.

After landing.

He ran wildly around the statue as if he had gone mad.

Wherever he passed, corpses lay everywhere.

Finally……

Before the other four-winged vultures could strike, [Steel Shield] finished cooling down!

"Opportunity is for those who are prepared."

Luo Chenyu smiled slightly, "For example, me!"

Shield, explode!

The scattered violent energy blasted everything nearby into debris.

Finally!!

He survived the most difficult moment.

Because the four-winged vultures in the sky were not infinite, only a dozen remained circling, waiting for an opportunity.

The outcome was as Luo Chenyu had expected.

Floor 341, passed!

It just took much more time than the previous ones.

And……

What left him speechless was that the following floors were mostly flying beasts.

To protect the statue from damage, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

The intensity wasn't high, it was just annoying.

Speeding up to the max, jumping up and down, running for his life, two hours later, he finally cleared floor 349!

"In the future, I must get a flight ability!"

Without flight ability, when encountering those "kiting" long-armed monsters, his disadvantages would be infinitely magnified!

However……

A Defense Warrior, before the Sixth Rank, has no flight ability at all.

And the Sixth Rank……

Is already the entry level of the legendary Ninth Rank!

Unlike Mages, many can have flight ability at the 3rd Rank, although it's not long-lasting, it really exists!

"Ding, [Nine-Fold Abyss] floor 350 beasts are about to attack, please prepare!"

The countdown has started!

A target panel also appeared before Luo Chenyu's eyes!

[Nine-Fold Abyss · Floor 350]

Target: Kill Sky-Splitting Beast (0/100), kill Sky-Splitting Beast King (0/1)!

Scenario restriction: No backpack items can be used in this scenario!

Time limit: 60 minutes

Reward: Nine-Fold Abyss points +1 million, Magic Dragon Abyss map fragment +1, random special item (Defense Warrior) +1!

Failure: Lose qualification to challenge!

Note: If the Goddess Statue is shattered, it is automatically judged as a failed defense!

………………

Sky-Splitting Beast?

Sky-Splitting Beast King?

That is to say, this final wave is not just a single BOSS, but also its 100 little brothers.

The difficulty has suddenly gone up!

Luo Chenyu checked his Nine-Fold Abyss points; they were already enough to exchange for [Sky-Supporting War Shield].

If he failed, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But……

A Defense Warrior who doesn't want to be number one is not a good professional!
