37: Holy Witch's Tower! My tower can transform into a sheep!
Under the Blood Moon, disaster descends.
The moment Lin Feng made his choice, the regional channel was already filled with corpses and mournful cries.
Those Lords who had become bloodthirsty in PVP, investing all their resources into rapidly upgrading their main base and unlocking troop types, were now finally tasting the bitter fruit of their greed.
Their defensive systems were severely out of sync with their own levels, making them fragile and vulnerable against the Blood Moon tide.
“Help! My Towers can’t even hurt those monsters! They’re gnawing at my city walls!”
“Damn it! I shouldn’t have gone after that B-grade talent yesterday; the resources I snatched aren’t even enough to repair my Tower! I regret it so much!”
However, what answered them was only a deathly silence, and avatars continuously turning gray.
The strong would only focus on their own survival.
The wails of the weak were merely an insignificant background noise in this doomsday feast.
Lin Feng’s gaze had long since moved away from those meaningless messages.
He looked at his remaining ten thousand-plus gold coins, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
The choice of Greed Blade had brought his desire for gold coins to an unprecedented peak.
He needed more Mage Towers to create a sufficiently safe “money-farming” environment for himself.
Just then, the blood-red sky surged even more violently.
It was as if two invisible mountains were slowly moving within the clouds, casting a suffocating shadow.
A pressure even more terrifying and heavier than before descended from the sky.
The second wave of Blood Moon tide will arrive in sixty seconds!
Monster Information: Splitting Rock Giant x2, Undead Witch x20, Thunderstorm Wyverns x2!
Splitting Rock Giant: Health 20000, Attack 200.
Special Trait: Rock Body (reduces all physical damage taken by 50%), Split (upon death, splits into two smaller Rock Giants with halved attributes, can split once).
Undead Witch: Health 1000, Attack 100.
Special Trait: Skeleton Summon (summons 4 Skeleton Soldiers every 10 seconds, with a maximum of 8 active at once).
Thunderstorm Wyverns: Health 4000, Attack 400, Attack Speed 3 seconds/attack.
Special Trait: Chain Lightning (attacks can bounce to 8 units and cause 1 second of stun).
When this terrifying monster lineup appeared before everyone, all players with a Level 7 main base gasped.
At the front were two super tanks with a health of twenty thousand, capable of splitting once, bringing their total health pool to sixty thousand!
In the middle were twenty Undead Witches capable of continuously spawning troops, enough to instantly form a sea of skeletons that would engulf everything!
And in the sky, there were two Thunderstorm Wyverns that could cause wide-ranging chain control!
This was a perfect, flawless army, a trinity of front-line, summoning, and control!
“This… is this really the strength a Level 7 base should face?”
An S-grade Lord who had miraculously survived the first wave let out his last desperate cry, and then his avatar also completely turned gray.
Lin Feng’s pupils also sharply contracted at this utterly abnormal lineup.
His brain worked rapidly, instantly deducing a chilling conclusion.
His Hell Tower could only lock onto one target at a time. Facing two Rock Guardians, it simply couldn’t handle both.
Although his Star Fury Mage Tower could clear the skeletons summoned by the Undead Witches, against those two Wyverns with four thousand health, if Annihilation Ray wasn’t triggered, the damage would be negligible.
Even moreThe fatal thing is，Flying Dragon【Chain Lightning】！
Once it successfully attacked, his two core Mage Towers, along with himself, would be stunned for a full second!
The stun would interrupt the Hell Tower’s charging, rendering this strongest single-target killer completely useless!
This was a deadlock.
A carefully designed, inescapable situation by the system to test a Lord’s comprehensive defensive capabilities.
Any weakness would be infinitely magnified until it led to collapse.
“I must get another Epic Mage Tower with powerful special effects.”
Lin Feng’s eyes became incredibly resolute.
What he lacked most now was anti-air capability and control to break the deadlock.
He recalled the Annihilation Ray entry of the Star Fury Mage Tower.
If he could synthesize another one, even with only a 5% chance, as long as it could instantly kill one Wyvern or one Rock Guardian, the situation could be reversed instantly!
This was a gamble.
A high-stakes gamble, risking all his assets on a vague probability!
He opened the building list, his will like cold iron tongs, gripping the Mage Tower icon tightly.
“Build five Mage Towers.”
Gold consumed x2500.
Five elegant stone Towers, topped with dark blue crystals, rose from the ground.
“Synthesize!”
Buzz—!
Five pure arcane energy pillars shot into the sky, converging into a rapidly spinning energy vortex that crashed down!
When the light faded.
A brand new tall Tower stood in its place.
Synthesis successful! You have obtained a Rare building — Arcane Spire!
Arcane Spire
Quality: Blue (Rare)
Attack: 100 (Magic Damage)
Special Effect: Arcane Blast — Attacks deal splash damage to enemies in a small area.
…
No special entries.
Lin Feng’s heart sank sharply.
Two thousand five hundred gold coins, only exchanged for a blue Tower with simply stacked attributes.
He glanced at the approaching countdown, his eyes showing no ripple.
“Again!”
“Build five Mage Towers.”
Gold consumed x2500.
“Synthesize!”
The light shone again, then faded again.
The result was exactly the same.
Another unremarkable Arcane Spire.
Five thousand gold coins, just like that, wasted.
The third time, it was still the same.
Another Arcane Spire.
A surge of irritation, uncontrollable, welled up from the bottom of his heart.
This was the price of gambling.
That cold probability would show no mercy because of your situation.
In the distance, the sound of footsteps like a landslide was already faintly audible.
In the sky, the two huge dark shadows also revealed their menacing outlines.
Time was running out.
“One last time!”
Lin Feng’s eyes, in an instant, became both frantic and extremely calm.
He now had only three thousand two hundred gold coins left, just enough for one last synthesis.
“Build five Mage Towers!”
“Synthesize!”
This time, the light of fusion seemed even more brilliant than any before!
Within the energy vortex, it was no longer pure arcane energy, but a mixture of countless ancient, golden glowing mysterious runes!
A heavy, ancient aura, as if from the depths of the earth, spanning across countless eons, rushed forth!
When the light faded.
A magnificent tall Tower, completely different from before, constructed of white stone and golden runes, stood quietly in the center of the fortress.
Its spire was no longer a crystal, but a giant, closed, stone-formed cyclops eye!
Synthesis successful! You have obtained an Epic building — Holy Witch Tower!
Holy Witch Tower
Quality: Purple (Epic)
Attack: 400 (Magic Damage)
Durability: 4000
Attack Speed: 2 seconds/attack
Special Effect: Holy Witch — Attacks deal splash damage to enemies in a large area.
Special Effect: Polymorph (Active) — Every 30 seconds, the cyclops eye on the Tower’s spire will open, forcibly transforming a random non-Lord unit closest to the fortress into a harmless sheep. Prioritizes units with higher health.
Special Effect: Guardian Summon (Passive) — Summons a Rock Guardian (Health 3000, Attack 200) to fight for you. The Guardian can be re-summoned 30 seconds after its death.
It wasn’t Annihilation Ray.
But in Lin Feng’s pupils, a cold emotion called “ecstasy” was reflected.
Polymorph!
This was simply a top-tier single-target control divine skill, even more unreasonable than Annihilation Ray!
Instant kill still depended on probability.
But this forced transformation, once every thirty seconds, was a 100% trigger!
Most crucially, units that were polymorphed would lose all their special traits, including the Rock Guardian’s Split!
It would become the most merciless judgment, hanging over the heads of all elite monsters!
Not to mention, that Rock Guardian with three thousand health, which could be revived infinitely, would provide the most solid barrier for his defense line!
Lin Feng glanced at his remaining few hundred gold coins and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
He had won this high-stakes gamble.
Now, it was time for those monsters from the abyss to witness what despair truly meant.
