Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 67 Stealing the Tower

The three who killed Xiang Duoyu chased after Lei Chi, who turned tail and ran.

Just then, a voice rang in his ears: "Let's start delivering!"

This is Han Shouxin shouting in the team channel.

The 【Tower Arena】 comes with a voice chat system, making it easy for players to communicate and cooperate as a team.

"That guy named Lei Chi is hopeless! He's really screwed me over!"

Xiang Duoyu also sent out a message, saying that although he had not yet been resurrected, he could communicate with his teammates.

"You two are both terrible, only I can turn the tide. I'm saving my ultimate move, you can go back to harassing me after you respawn!"

"All right!"

Thirty seconds later, Xiang Duoyu revived on the spot. He ran out of the camp with some frustration and ran forward along the middle road.

Five minutes later, Lei Chi met him. He shouted "Run!" and continued running without stopping.

Behind him, the three players opposite were still chasing closely. Lei Chi was running so fast that they couldn't catch up. Seeing Xiang Duoyu standing there dumbfounded, they surrounded him and started attacking.

Xiang Duoyu, though simple-minded and brave, fought them on the spot, shouting towards Lei Chi, "Stop running! Attack us all!"

"No way!"

Lei Chi replied with two more words. He turned a corner in the woods in the wilderness and found three level 3 slimes gathered together. He stopped and killed them with three punches and three kicks, earning 3 game coins.

At this moment, Xiang Duoyu had already been killed and was shouting from within the ranks: "Lei Chi, you big jerk, you've got me killed again!"

Lei Chi thought to himself, "You died because of your own stupidity, what does it have to do with me?"

He was too lazy to call out, so he just wandered around the map in the wilderness by himself, fighting off monsters when he encountered them, opening treasure chests when he found them, and greeting quest NPCs when he came across them...

Three minutes later, Xiang Duoyu was killed again!

Three minutes later, Xiang Duoyu was killed in action once again!

Two minutes later, Lei Chi received a message from the team: "Ding, your teammates are feeding like crazy..."

"Ha, they've all died so many times they're practically ghosts, they must have given away a lot of money!"

Lei Chi shook his head, thinking to himself that this player was playing with real savvy. Even if there was no penalty for dying in the tower arena, this was no way to die like this. You know, the opponent gets game currency rewards for getting kills. If this player keeps feeding, the economic gap between the two sides will only widen.

After a moment's thought, Lei Chi finally shouted in the team chat: "Xiang Duoyu, stop feeding, just AFK next to the statue!"

He didn't expect Xiang Duoyu to immediately retort: ​​"You noob, shut up!"

Han Shouxin quickly added, "Since they're all dead to the bone anyway, let's keep sending them to their deaths. Harass them as much as possible; I'm almost done here!"

"Alright, boss, we're waiting for your big move to turn the tide!"

"Don't worry, my trick really works!"

"What kind of ultimate move is that?" Lei Chi shook his head, thinking to himself that random teams just don't work. If you want to play well in the arena, you have to team up with friends, otherwise it's mostly a waste of time.

Three minutes later, Xiang Duoyu was killed again. This time, the three opponents split into three groups, each with their own minions, and all rushed to the camp entrance. They even built defensive towers at the entrance, which were about to threaten the barracks huts.

Clearly, the opposing three players were using a turret-pushing tactic, placing turrets along the way to control the minion waves and the jungle.

"They've done a TR! They've placed a tower at the entrance! Boss, what are you doing? Come back and defend!"

Xiang Duoyu quickly sent a message in the team channel.

Han Shouxin shouted, "You noobs! You guys defend and draw their attention, I'm going to steal their base! Watch my ultimate move, I'll turn the tide!"

Xiang Duoyu was clueless and just blindly followed the camp soldiers in their charge. He didn't have a single game coin, couldn't build a single defensive tower, and his combat power wasn't much stronger than that of an ordinary soldier.

Lei Chi pulled up the minimap and found that Han Shouxin was quite interesting. He crossed the jungle, carefully avoiding the minion wave, and actually rushed into the enemy camp.

Then, Lei Chi noticed that the small dot representing his position had stopped moving, and wondered, "What's going on? Are they building a tower in the enemy's camp?"

The facts were similar to Lei Chi's guess. Han Shouxin was building towers in the enemy's camp, which was called "stealing towers". He had already collected six blueprints for building defensive towers. Once all six defensive towers were built, he was confident that he could directly bombard the enemy's base to the ground.

Because the defensive tower construction blueprints he had were quite good, he produced three blueprints for the [Exploding Thunder Element Tower] with long range and high attack, two of which were Tier 2 and one was Tier 3.

That Tier 3 [Exploding Element Tower] was the strongest defensive tower in his camp!

Unfortunately, this tactic was too crude. Even if the opposing players didn't set up defenses in their camp, building a tower right in front of their king's statue was too arrogant. The three opposing players immediately noticed and rushed back to reinforce.

There is no way to quickly return to the city in the arena map. The three opposing players can only run back. The middle road between the two camps is about one kilometer long, while the upper and lower roads are nearly 1.7 kilometers long. It will take them at least three or four minutes to run back to the camp.

Therefore, the tactic of stealing towers has a chance of success.

However, Han Shouxin clearly overlooked the minion wave. The enemy camp's barracks huts were intact, and Han Shouxin's position for stealing the tower was also careless. One lane of minions was attracted by him and immediately moved towards him.

Although the minions spawned by the system are still very weak, with less than 100 health points and less than 10 attack points, they can be continuously spawned from the War Hut.

"Give me a minute! You two idiots, come help me!"

Han Shouxin, who was attacked by the soldiers, immediately shouted that construction could not be interrupted. He could only withstand the soldiers' attacks. If he was killed, all his efforts would be in vain.

But who can come to his aid at this time?

More and more soldiers attacked Han Shouxin, but he withstood the attacks and built three Tier 2 [Exploding Thunder Element Towers]. When his health bar was depleted, and before the three enemy players had even returned to their camp, he already hated the Northwest.

"Trash, those two are useless, they can't help at all, I'm so damn tired!"

Han Shouxin, who had been eliminated, didn't wait to be revived. He cursed and quit the game. That's just his personality.

Lei Chi then received a system notification: "Ding, player Han Shouxin has logged out of the game!"

Xiang Duoyu then shouted in the team chat: "Sigh, another loss. Why are all the opponents noobs I'm facing?"

After saying that, he also logged out of the game.

Lei Chi once again lamented how unreliable random teams were. He had only just earned 201 game coins, so he stopped farming, opened the purchase window, and spent 200 game coins to buy two blueprints for building defense towers.

"Ding! You have obtained the blueprints for the Tier 2 Beast Tower [Pat Bear] and the Tier 2 Beast Tower [Big Tiger].

"A bear? A tiger? Sure, let's give it a try!"

Lei Chi also took a detour through the jungle, carefully avoiding the minion waves and the defensive towers set up by the opposing players, and arrived at the opponent's camp without any major incidents.

At this point, the three [Exploding Thunder Element Towers] built by Han Shouxin had been demolished. However, these three towers were quite powerful, as they killed a large number of minions and also destroyed the barracks huts on the top lane, as well as the three small arrow towers that existed in the camp from the beginning. Even the durability of the King's statue was reduced by a small amount.

At this moment, the three opposing players, along with their minions, had already invaded Lei Chi's camp. The "large force" was frantically demolishing the barracks huts, with more minions continuously arriving to support them.

Lei Chi didn't hesitate and chose a spot right next to the opponent's king statue to build the [Pat Bear].

The [Pat Bear] is a melee beast tower. To make it attack the opponent's king statue, it can only be built right next to it.

Fortunately, Han Shouxin's three elemental towers had cleared out the guardian arrow towers, and ten seconds later, Lei Chi's [Pat Bear] was successfully built.

With a "whoosh," the "Pat Bear" immediately raised its paws and slapped the king's statue in the order of "left, right, left, right, left, left, right," making a series of thuds.

"-50!"

"-100, double the critical hit!"

"-50!"

"-50!"

"-50, heavy hit!"

"-50, heavy hit!"

"-800, a 16x critical hit!"

……

Damage numbers quickly appeared above the king's statue, and the already halved health bar began to shrink rapidly. Lei Chi was very satisfied with its output and immediately built the [Big Tiger].

Ten seconds later, the "Big Tiger" was successfully built. It roared and bit the king statue's trouser leg, refusing to let go.

"-50! Chokehold!"

Upon seeing the notification text appearing above the king's statue, Lei Chi yelled, "System God, come out here and explain to me how biting the statue's trouser leg achieved a chokehold?"
