Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 29 Possessed by the Magic Tower

With his oak shield aloft, Wu Jingang was still fifty meters from the camp square when he decided to charge forward in one go.

The Water Cannon Turtle was placed at the very end of the War Corridor by Thunder Pool and has now launched its attack, delivering a critical hit right from the start.

"-64!"

"-54!"

"-44!"

"-34!"

"-24!"

The water cannonballs bounced off Wu Jingang and his group, quickly dealing five damage numbers.

Before the first water cannon shell had even finished firing, the second one came, and Wu Jingang and the others' health bars started to drop bit by bit.

Mu Xiaoxiao rode her bicycle at the very back, thinking to herself that this tower was pretty good, it even had projectile damage, but it was a pity that it was placed at the very end of the [War Corridor], which reduced its defensive range by half and it couldn't stop them.

In fact, if Wu Jingang and his men rushed across the 50-meter distance at top speed, they could do so in less than ten seconds. They would only take five or six water cannon shots at most, as their health was high enough to withstand the impact.

Just as Wu Jingang was about to rush into the camp square, suddenly, a "big steamed bun" wearing a crown and holding a scepter appeared in the [War Corridor].

That is the war guardian, [King Slime], managed by the system's AI and capable of fighting on its own!

This guy wasn't under Lei Chi's jurisdiction. Lei Chi and his fighting chickens were hiding behind the camp square, but this guy took the initiative to fight.

The Slime King doesn't have any other skills right now; all he can do is wave his scepter and unleash small fireballs.

With a loud bang!

The first small fireball hit Wu Jingang's oak shield accurately. This was not considered a block, and Wu Jingang's health points immediately decreased by 50!

"It's the Slime King!"

"Good heavens, this Thunder Pool has even completed the Slime King's war mission!"

"By the way, my Slime King is still alive!"

"My home is dead, but thanks to it, I was able to break through the 10th wave of monster invasion."

"I heard that the Slime King levels up very slowly. I wonder what the highest level is now!"

"Have you been to Boss Binghuo's camp? That's where they train the Slime King. I think he's already level 9!"

Chen Hanxiang, Su Youlin, and Ma Dongqi, who were following behind, chatted as they ran. Since Wu Jingang was taking the damage ahead, they wouldn't be attacked by the Slime King.

"Ring ring, ring ring..."

Mu Xiaoxiao rang her bicycle bell, sped up, overtook Chen Hanxiang and the other two, and shouted to Wu Jingang, "Jingang, hurry into the camp! This Slime King is tough to beat!"

The presence of the [Slime King] in the secret camp of Thunder Pool was beyond her expectations. Ordinary players with a camp defense index of 40 or 50 points would not be able to complete the [Slime King's Wrath] quest.

This made her a little nervous.

Keep in mind that the [Slime King] has 5000 HP and an attack power of 50. It can launch a small fireball every second, making it comparable to a Tier 2 defensive tower. Going head-on against it would be very disadvantageous.

"I can still manage!"

Wu Jingang showed no fear. He opened his storage backpack, drank a bottle of life potion, and a green health bar immediately appeared above his head.

"+500!"

Fully charged!

He laughed and leaped into the camp square. The Water Cannon Turtle stopped attacking him, and he directly engaged the Slime King in a one-on-one fight.

"Attack together! Kill this Slime King!"

Wu Jingang shouted.

Mu Xiaoxiao then arrived at the camp square. She tossed her bicycle aside, intending to attack King Slime with Wu Jingang, but when she looked behind the camp square, she was stunned.

Lei Chi was standing in front of the mushroom hut, holding a pickaxe, with a dejected orc slave standing beside him.

In addition, there were five roosters that looked to be over two meters tall, larger than a typical ostrich, wandering around aimlessly.

"These are fighting chickens? Five of them? 200 health points each? Oh no!"

Mu Xiaoxiao's expression changed drastically. She realized she had been careless. She hadn't expected there to be troops in Lei Chi's secret camp. If he charged over with those five fighting chickens now, along with the [Slime King], this battle would be difficult!

As she was pondering this, she indeed saw Lei Chi charging towards her with a pickaxe.

But then she was stunned again. Lei Chi had charged over all by himself, while the orc laborers and fighting chickens behind him stood there dumbfounded, not moving an inch.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time! Come on, let's fight three hundred rounds!"

Lei Chi shouted, displaying a heroic posture, and charged straight at Mu Xiaoxiao with his pickaxe raised high.

In his opinion, this female player was quite pretty, but unfortunately, today he could only fight her to the death!

"Trash, prepare to die!"

Wu Jingang rushed over to stop Lei Chi, and Chen Hanxiang, Su Youlin, and Ma Dongqi also quickly stepped forward to help.

In less than ten seconds, Lei Chi was destroyed.

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned when she saw Lei Chi turn into white light and disappear.

"What's wrong with this guy? Is he always this brave?"

Su Youlin saw the fighting chickens at the mushroom hut and laughed out loud, saying, "That idiot, he only charged in by himself and forgot to bring his troops!"

Ma Dongqi said, "This person is driving me crazy; he's so stupid."

Chen Hanxiang asked, "What do we do now? Is there enough time to kill the Slime King and those fighting chickens?"

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "It's also my fault for being careless. Oh well, this invasion must teach Lei Chi a lesson. I'll use a low-level magic gem, possess the Magic Tower, and kill the Slime King and all those fighting chickens. Then we can all loot the place!"

After speaking, the female elder of the Flying Fire Camp opened her storage bag and took out a low-level magic gem.

She is a level 20 Magic Tower player.

Despite her low rank, she holds a very high position in the Flying Fire Camp, far surpassing Yan Xiaoyan, who is merely a pretty face. This is because she possesses a skill called [Magic Tower Possession].

This skill is exclusive to Magic Tower players and requires a Magic Gem to activate. Once activated, it grants the player the attack characteristics of any Magic Tower in their secret camp, along with the magic points provided by the Magic Gem.

In the world of Tata, skill books are extremely rare items. Players at level 20 may not even possess a single skill, and those with powerful skills are even rarer.

With her skill [Possession by the Magic Tower], Mu Xiaoxiao is able to stand out among many players.

However, this skill is quite expensive to use, because even the lowest-level [Magic Gem] is worth more than 20 gold.

But at this moment, in order to complete the invasion mission beautifully, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to use a low-level magic gem.

She crushed the magic gem in her hand, and light fell on her. Soon, a phantom of a magic tower wrapped in lightning appeared behind her.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao completed the [Magic Tower Possession], imbuing herself with the attack effects of the second-tier [Lightning Tower].

In this possessed state, Mu Xiaoxiao's attack power remains unchanged, but she gains the attack range, attack speed, and attack effects of the second-tier [Lightning Tower]. She can still move, but she cannot move while launching an attack.

The attack effect of the second-tier [Lightning Tower] is [Lightning Chain]. Every attack releases a [Lightning Chain]. The [Lightning Chain] can link up to 10 targets, dealing full damage to the first target. After that, the damage is reduced by one-tenth for each subsequent target hit by the [Lightning Chain].

If the Machine Gun Tower is a top-tier Tier 1 defensive tower, then the Lightning Tower is a top-tier Tier 2 defensive tower, boasting not only high attack power but also dazzling attack effects.

Mu Xiaoxiao is currently level 20 with an attack power of 20. When possessed by the Lightning Tower, her attack range increases to 50 meters.

She immediately attacked the [Slime King] not far away. With a flick of her finger, a bright white lightning bolt flew out from the phantom of the [Lightning Tower] behind him. After striking the [Slime King], the lightning bolt flew dozens of meters further, automatically linking the orc laborer Harley, and then linking it to five fighting chickens in turn, like a chain of lightning.

"Quickly end the battle, then get lunch and drinks, raid the vault, turn this secret camp of Thunder Pool upside down, and leave a warning sign!"

Mu Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.
