470: Su Keqing becomes a farmer! Island defense battle!

Li Fengxian could tell that Sun Hai, Pang Shan, and Lihuo were problematic.

However, he truly couldn't understand why Lihuo would make such arrangements!

What benefit did this bring them?

What exactly did the Alchemist Group want to do?

Could it be that they had another objective for coming here this time?

Li Fengxian couldn't help but grow wary.

He immediately reported the situation to the Clear Wind Hall Master.

Following that.

Li Fengxian looked at Lihuo with extreme dissatisfaction: "Vice Group Leader Lihuo! If this is your attitude, I suggest you take your dogs and leave! I can speak for Su Lie; you are not welcome here!"

"How dare you?"

Pang Shan and Sun Hai glared at Li Fengxian, their eyes wide: "We will blacklist you!"

"Haha! What a joke! Are you trying to make an enemy of me? Do you want to die out here?"

Li Fengxian laughed, then his aura trembled, and a sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The expressions of Pang Shan and Sun Hai drastically changed, and they quickly retreated behind Lihuo.

Only then did Lihuo speak: "I apologize for this matter! There's no need for us to split over it! I intentionally had them do this just to test Su Lie's breadth of mind!"

"Hmph! That's not how you test someone's breadth of mind! This was clearly suicidal behavior!"

Luo Yao muttered softly from the side.

This sentence startled Li Fengxian: "Suicidal! That's right! Were they deliberately seeking death? Why would they do that?"

Li Fengxian suddenly looked up at Lihuo, warning her solemnly: "Do not do anything irrational! If something goes wrong, no one can cover for you!"

"I'll tell you the truth!"

"Su Lie is protected by Lord Qingfeng!"

This made Lihuo raise an eyebrow, and she smiled faintly: "Don't worry! The test just now was enough to prove Su Lie's excellence!"

"This Younger Sister has excellent upbringing, which shows that Su Lie is very diligent in how he conducts himself and his affairs!"

"Our Alchemist Group is very satisfied!"

Lihuo's aura instantly softened.

Only then did Su Liya invite everyone again to wait in the living room on the first floor of the Great Joy Tower.

Seeing this, Ling Xu raised an eyebrow, his eyes shifting slightly, and he got up and headed toward the Guard Zone. At this time.

Su Lie and Su Keqing had already been teleported into the trial Dungeon.

He was standing on a small island with a diameter of 200 meters.

Surrounding them was an endless black ocean.

When the waves hit the beach, they released a mass of black aura.

This aura contained intense pollution.

As a result, one-third of the island was barren.

Only the area covered by a light barrier in the center of the island was lush and green.

In the center of this area stood a tower about two hundred meters tall.

At the top of the tower was a turret.

The turret's barrel was 20 meters long and 2 meters in diameter.

It only had one cannon tube.

Fire Runes were inscribed on the cannon tube.

The turret was hemispherical, and the interior space was quite comfortable.

Its entire hemisphere was made of transparent crystal, which could serve as a holographic screen to display relevant turret data and information scanned by the auxiliary radar tower.

It also had control seats with the quality of sofas.

Furthermore, it could connect with one's consciousness, achieving zero-delay turning, observation, attack, and so on.

Su Lie was standing on the turret at this moment.

Under his gaze.

The turret's panel automatically popped up.

[Wave-Breaking Heavy Cannon: Red God-level Quality; each shot consumes 10,000 Spirit attribute points and can cause fire damage to enemies.

Base Damage: 1 billion fire attribute damage.

Coverage Range: An area with a 10 nautical mile radius centered on the target point.

Rate of Fire: 6 shells per minute.

Range: 100 nautical miles.

Special Effect Critical Hit: The Heavy Cannon has a 100% critical hit chance and gains 100 times critical hit damage.

Special Effect High Temperature: The temperature within the shell's coverage range increases to 10,000 degrees Celsius.

Special Effect Burning: Flames will ignite within the shell's coverage range, setting any surviving life forms within the area ablaze, causing the target to suffer 30% of the base damage as fire damage per second.

Special Effect Shells: The Wave-Breaking Heavy Cannon automatically generates 30 shells every 1 hour.

Special Effect Holographic Sight: The Wave-Breaking Heavy Cannon possesses a holographic sight, capable of observing all signs within a 100 nautical mile range and assisting the Heavy Cannon's attack.

Note: The Heavy Cannon's special effect shells only refresh with new shells every 1 hour!

Note: This Heavy Cannon is a defensive Heavy Cannon. It can be manipulated via consciousness and rotated 360 degrees.]

"A Heavy Cannon is great!"

Su Lie looked at the prompt before him, a smile curving his lips.

His Heavy Gunner Skill finally had a chance to be used.

After Su Lie briefly familiarized himself with the controls.

He then returned to the ground.

Just then.

Su Keqing was planting seeds of the flower of falsehood.

She had just finished investigating the situation here.

"Master!"

Su Keqing manipulated divine power to nurture the seeds, implanting the germinated seeds into the soil.

Su Lie nodded: "What's the situation on your side?"

He looked at the shield beside him.

He saw.

A panel automatically popped up from the shield.

[Pollution Resistance Shield: red god-tier elemental shield, a pollution resistance shield containing divine power, which prevents the soil and plants within the shield's protected area from being polluted.

Note: This shield can only protect the environment and isolate pollution; it cannot serve as a defensive shield against attacks from Skills, divine abilities, Talents, weapons, items, and so on.

Note: Life forms can pass through the shield freely; the shield will not cause any obstruction or damage to life forms.]

At this moment.

Su Keqing's voice rang out: "The flower of falsehood is a special plant that requires the Farmer profession and must be nurtured by the divine power of a low-level deity to germinate!"

"Its purpose is to serve as the main ingredient for refining resistance-type pills that counter temporary effects like illusions and charms!"

"This type of material can only be planted in territories that have undergone a second advancement!"

"According to my statistics, each seed requires a total consumption of 100,000 Spirit points from gestation and germination, through growth, and finally to flowering and becoming material!"

"Nurturing 1,000 flowers of falsehood requires 100 million Spirit points!"

"Furthermore, I need to constantly consume Spirit to manage and maintain the fields, ensuring the flowers of falsehood receive sufficient nutrients so they can bloom and mature within 20 days!"

"This total consumption requires at least 100 billion Spirit, plus 500 quadrillion Stamina!"

"Currently, my attribute values are 600 billion Spirit and 500 quadrillion Stamina, so achieving the required quantity for the mission is extremely easy!"

"I have to thank you for your grace! Otherwise, this time would likely have been very difficult for me!"

She looked at Su Lie with immense gratitude: "Oh right, Master! I estimate that the planting will be complete in 5 minutes!"

"5 minutes? It seems the preparation time granted by the rules is exactly when you finish planting and begin the second step of field management!"

Su Lie nodded after hearing this.

Since Su Keqing could complete this task with great ease.

He was naturally very pleased.

After Su Lie understood the information about this place, he prepared to return to the turret.

Su Keqing suddenly called out to Su Lie: "Master! I still have surplus energy, should I plant more flowers of falsehood?"

"Can we take them back?"

Su Lie asked, looking at Su Keqing.

Su Keqing shook her head: "According to the prompt from the rules, I can plant and cultivate the seeds here freely, but all resources grown must be handed over to the mist rule!"

"Do as you wish! I guarantee that no pirates will set foot within 30 nautical miles of this island for the next month!"

Su Lie said confidently.

When he returned to the turret.

A prompt had already appeared on the turret's radar.

Su Lie looked through the sight at the sea area 16 degrees to his left.

He saw.

In this sea area, a black ironclad ship was cutting through the waves.

Since its color was identical to the ocean's color.

It was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Su Lie only discovered this semi-submerged pirate ship by observing the differences in the water patterns and waves.

According to the turret's holographic screen display.

The success rate of attacking a ship located between 90 and 100 nautical miles from his current position was about 40%.

"Heavy Gunner Skill! ... Activate!"

Seeing this, he didn't wait any longer, murmuring softly while operating the turret to lock onto the ship.

After the Heavy Gunner Skill was activated.

The data on Su Lie's panel suddenly changed.

He saw.

The Wave-Breaking Heavy Cannon's ammunition reserve instantly changed from 30 shells to infinite.

Its base damage became 1 trillion fire attribute damage.

The coverage range became 10 million nautical miles.

The rate of fire was 6,000 shells per minute.

The range was 100 million nautical miles.

It gained 100,100 times critical hit damage.

The temperature within the Special Effect High Temperature shell's coverage range increased to 10 million degrees Celsius.

The Burning Special Effect could cause the target to suffer 999 times the base damage as fire damage per second.

The Special Effect Shells could generate 30,000 shells every 1 hour.

The Special Effect Holographic Sight could observe everything within a 100,000 nautical mile range.

Moreover, this Wave-Breaking Heavy Cannon temporarily gained 100% accuracy, infinite durability, and 100% building destruction.

It inflicted a 30-second forced stun effect on enemies within the artillery coverage range.

It also temporarily possessed the Artilleryman's Special Effect Artillery Treasure Refining Special Effect.

Under the enhancement of Su Lie's Artilleryman, this defensive Heavy Cannon now possessed 10 special effects.

This time.

When Su Lie looked at the ship in the target sea area again, he could clearly see the vessel and 100% lock onto the target.

Furthermore.

When Su Lie observed the scene within the 100,000 nautical mile range through the sight.

He discovered.

He could only view scenes up to 200 nautical miles away at most.

Anything further was an invisible wall.

This indicated.

The maximum range of this Dungeon he was in was an area with a diameter of slightly over 200 nautical miles, centered on the small island where he stood.

"200 nautical miles is easy!"

Su Lie muttered softly.

Just as he was about to fire, he suddenly froze: "Holy crap! The shell's coverage range is 10 million nautical miles! If I fire this... we'll all die together!"

Just as he was startled by the enhancement brought by his Heavy Gunner Skill.

Su Lie suddenly noticed.

In the data section of the turret's firing console, there was actually an adjustment function.

"Phew! In that case..."

Immediately, Su Lie set the shell's coverage range to 50 nautical miles.

After completion.

Su Lie consumed 10,000 Spirit attribute points, and a shell was launched by him.

Boom!

A fiery red light illuminated the gun platform.

Su Keqing, who was planting fields below, suddenly looked up.

She saw a small sun shoot rapidly into the distance.

Boom!

One second later, the pirate ship, which had entered the 80 nautical mile range, was instantly hit.

With this single shot.

It actually ignited raging flames on the sea surface.

The scorching flames, even tens of nautical miles away.

Could still be seen by Su Keqing, who was tending the fields.

She noticed that the direction where the small sun vanished—the sky had been burned red by the fire!

Simultaneously, in this area.

The high temperature, reaching 10 million degrees Celsius, turned the 50 nautical mile diameter sea area into a world of steam.

The warship left no debris behind, instantly vaporizing under the shell's attack.

The next second.

This 50 nautical mile artillery coverage area turned into a massive whirlpool.

Su Lie saw through the sight.

The sea level in this area had actually dropped by 20 meters.

This caused the surrounding seawater to flow backward toward the area, creating a spectacle.

At this moment.

On the island's coastline, the black seawater that had been rolling toward the beach suddenly surged back toward the depths of the ocean.

Su Lie touched the ruyi pouch at his waist, realizing that something from the recent attack had been picked up by his Auto-Pickup Talent and placed inside the ruyi pouch.

He opened the pouch to look.

He saw.

In the previously empty pouch, 500 Divine Soul Orbs and 500 basic resource treasure chests had appeared.

Upon seeing this, Su Lie realized he hadn't yet set the pickup anchor point for his Auto-Pickup Talent to the storage slots of his Backpack Talent.

He first modified the storage equipment bound to the Auto-Pickup Talent.

Following that.

He took out one Divine Soul Orb.

After he used the Identification Talent on the orb.

A panel appeared in his line of sight.

[Buzz!]

[Divine Soul Orb: Red God-level Quality; an orb containing the power of the divine soul, which can be refined into Divine Soul Treasure Pills, or used as growth material for Spirit entities like the spirit of the territory, weapon Spirits, and item Spirits. It can also be used directly to repair damaged souls.

Note: This orb is extremely valuable. It is recommended to refine it into related pills for sale to maximize profit.

Note: This orb is refined from the souls of living beings.]

"Good stuff!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up.

He transferred the Divine Soul Orbs and basic resource treasure chests into his storage slots.

Following that.

He looked at his personal panel.

To his disappointment, he did not gain experience.

"It seems this time I will only be able to harvest some resources!"

Su Lie was quite satisfied with this.

Before long.

The turret radar issued another warning.

The enemy vessels appearing this time were two ships.

The two pirate ships were separated by 10 nautical miles.

Both were still black ironclad ships.

However.

This time, the ironclad ships had not entered a semi-submerged state.

Instead, the entire ships were visible on the sea surface.

It was also at this time.

Panel information for the two ironclad ships appeared on the radar...
