Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 101 The War Begins Immediately



Chapter 101 The War Begins Immediately

A moment later, Lei Chi arrived at the War Corridor, found the number one [Sabertooth Tiger] he remembered, brought up its information panel, made a few settings, and the [Sabertooth Tiger] immediately roared, then its entire body began to glow, and after two breaths it became a ball of light.

At that moment, a regional announcement sounded.

"The power of the tiger is overwhelming, invincible!"

"The tiger, king of beasts, symbolizes strength, majesty, and power; it acts like a king, with the bearing of a king!"

"Congratulations! Your secret camp has activated the Tiger Totem, and the Tier 4 Special Beast Tower [Totem Tiger] is about to be unveiled!"

"Ding! Influenced by the totem tiger, your secret camp has gained the crafting skills for the exclusive equipment [Tiger Head Hat] and [Tiger Head Boots]. A production line has been added to the armory. Please explore for details!"

"Ding! A totem altar has appeared in the Ancient Sanctuary due to the influence of the totem tiger."

After the system notification ended, the fourth-tier [Totem Tiger] appeared.

This is a bizarre, multicolored tiger, as big as an elephant, as if it had stepped out of a New Year's painting. It has a big head, big eyes, a big nose, a wide mouth, golden fur, a blood-red mouth, and red and blue stripes all over its body. The character "王" (king) on ​​its head is very clear. Its tiger claws are thick. Overall, it has a unique domineering and majestic charm.

Tower Name: Totem Tiger

Area: 4m x 4m

Type: Beast Tower

Rank: Fourth Rank

Attack power: 5000 + 10

Attack type: Physical

Attack range: Melee (4 meters)

Attack Speed: 1.0

Possesses the skill: [Intimidation Aura], a passive aura. Enemy units within 50 meters feel the intimidation of the totem tiger, reducing their movement speed, attack speed, and attack power (the specific reduction depends on the user's abilities).

Possesses the skill: [Totem Tiger Roar], an active skill. The totem tiger roars, increasing the attack power of all beast towers within a 100-meter radius by 25% and removing negative status effects from the beast towers. The buff lasts for 60 seconds, and the skill has a 90-second cooldown.

Possesses the skill: [Imprisonment]. The Totem Tiger can imprison targets within a 10-meter range, pinning them under its claws, rendering them unable to move or use skills, and causing them to continuously lose health. The Totem Tiger can only imprison one target at a time. This skill is ineffective against units level 40 and above or Bronze rank and above. The imprisonment time and the rate at which the imprisoned unit loses health are determined by the abilities of the imprisoned unit.

Note 1: Only one totem beast is allowed in a secret camp.

Note 2: Offering specific items at the Totem Altar can upgrade the [Totem Tiger]. Please explore on your own to find out more.

Note 3: After the [Totem Tiger] is upgraded to Tier 5, it will obtain an exclusive name (generated by the system).

"5000 attack power, that's insane!"

Lei Chi thought to himself that this [Totem Tiger] was amazing. Although it was still a melee beast tower, it could hit targets within 4 meters. Its [Intimidation Aura] and [Totem Tiger Roar] were both divine skills, and its [Imprisonment] was also very powerful. If he were to guard Jingyang Ridge, Lei Chi estimated that even Zhao Zilong would be in trouble.

Lei Chi then checked the camp information panel and found that a fourth-tier tower could increase the camp's defense index by 1,000 points. If all the beast towers were not lurking, his current camp defense index could reach 1915.

At this moment, a rumbling sound rang out. Lei Chi looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the ancient shelter was changing. Its original shape, which was like a small hill, quickly turned into a small hill with a tiger's head, and the entrance was the tiger's mouth.

"Totem Altar!"

Lei Chi's heart stirred, and he quickly entered the ancient sanctuary, making his way to the deep stone chamber. The stone chamber had changed drastically; all the original murals had disappeared, and a small altar had been erected. On the small altar stood a statue of a totem tiger, and in front of it was a large sacrificial cauldron.

Note 1: Offerings to the sacrificial cauldron will increase the sacrificial progress. When the sacrificial progress reaches 100%, the totem tiger can be upgraded.

Note 2: Sacrificial items can affect the ability bonuses of the Totem Tiger after it is upgraded. For example, rare materials such as teeth and claws can affect its attack power, while [Tiger Soul] affects its overall ability and skill power. Please explore on your own for details.

"The sacrificial items affect the ability bonuses... It seems that after the Totem Tiger is upgraded to level 5, it will most likely be unique. If that's the case, trash materials are not worthy of being sacrificed."

Lei Chi pondered silently.

Each camp can only have one totem beast, and the raising of this totem beast must be done with great care.

"Since this concerns the abilities of the totem tiger after its advancement, the sacrificial items must be carefully selected. The better they are, the better. We must not accept inferior items."

Lei Chi consulted the intelligent elf Amei about the training settings for the Totem Tiger, but unfortunately Amei was also unaware of it.

A moment later, Lei Chi arrived at the armory and assigned the task of developing a pickaxe to A-Mei. He then went to research the production lines for tiger-head hats and tiger-head boots.

There are now three production lines in the production workshop.

Lei Chi checked the material chests for the [Tiger Head Hat] and [Tiger Head Boots] and found that various cloth and leather materials could be used as crafting materials for these two items. The crafting cost for a single item was one gold coin. The crafting time and the attributes of the finished product were related to the crafting materials. The quality was divided into four levels: inferior, ordinary, excellent, and superior. If one [Tiger Soul] was added to the crafting materials, a superior item would be guaranteed.

Lei Chi took some slime hides and put them into the production lines for the [Tiger Head Hat] and [Tiger Head Shoes], and also stored ten gold coins in each of the two production cost chests.

He discovered that the production time for the tiger-head hat and tiger-head boots was unusually long, taking a whopping eight hours, so he stopped waiting idly by.

Next, Lei Chi searched for "Tiger Soul" in the trading house and found that this material really existed. The quantity was small and the price was quite high. They were all listed in the auction house, with the lowest starting price being 300 gold coins per piece and a buy-it-now price of 3000 gold coins, but no one bid.

"300 gold coins isn't cheap..."

Lei Chi resisted the urge to buy and went to find boxer Aksi and martial arts master Yuan Yuanzi.

At this very moment, all members of the thugs' gang have gathered at their guild camp.

Chen Zhigao opened his storage backpack and took out a wooden treasure chest. Standing on the chest, he smiled, waved for everyone to quiet down, and announced loudly, "Everyone, come closer and look at me! I have two important announcements to make!"

"First piece of news: our thugs gang has formed an alliance with the morality gang, the flying fire camp, and the Baolong ship! From now on, the four gangs will be of one mind, advancing and retreating together! Do you know what this means? It means I'm rich! From now on, our thugs gang will have a stable sponsorship, and we won't need to make money by doing freebies anymore. If we perform well, we can get a fixed salary and bonuses from time to time. Aren't you all happy?!"

"An alliance?"

"A fixed salary? And bonuses too?"

"Our leader is mighty!"

"I'm the deputy team leader, how much salary do I get?"

"Really? This feels so exciting..."

The crowd immediately began to discuss it enthusiastically.

Chen Zhigao felt pleased. He gestured for everyone to be quiet again and continued, "There's a second matter. From this day forward, the players from the Big Horse Gang and the Beast Concentration Camp are our enemies. We'll be conducting a joint operation soon, a small test of our skills, to infiltrate the secret camp of Lei Chi, the deputy leader of the Beast Concentration Camp. Experts from the Morality Gang, Flying Fire Camp, and Baolong will participate in this operation. The Flying Fire Camp will also be sending a war dragon boat. Your chance to shine has arrived! I hereby announce that all team leaders and deputy team leaders must participate. Anyone else who wants to participate should apply to join a team. The war begins immediately."
