Chapter 58 The group leader has been sacrificed.
城防中心提升到LV2后，可研究猛兽塔二级科技，也就是【利爪LV2】、【尖牙LV2】、【野性LV2】、【专注LV2】。
The effects are as follows: increase the attack power of the melee claw attack beast tower by 10 points, increase the attack power of the melee bite beast tower by 10 points, increase the beast tower's double critical hit chance by 15%, and increase the attack power of the ranged beast tower by 5 points.
Each level 2 technology costs 100 gold to unlock and will replace the effect of the level 1 technology after unlocking.
The attack power boost from tower defense technology corresponds to the attack type of the tower. Towers that deal magic damage receive a boost to magic damage, while towers that deal physical damage receive a boost to physical damage. It's worth mentioning that the [Wild] technology provides double the critical hit chance for the final damage.
Defense towers like the [PawBear], which inherently possess a critical hit chance, can have their critical hits stacked due to the [Wild] technology, resulting in a 32x critical hit!
Additionally, after unlocking all level 2 tower defense technologies and defeating the 11th wave of monster invasion, you can spend 1000 gold coins to upgrade the city defense center to LV3.
Lei Chi had 400 gold coins left. After thinking for a moment, he spent 200 gold coins to unlock [Focus LV2] and [Wildness LV2]. He planned to keep the remaining 200 gold coins for insurance fraud.
"The camp's protection period is almost over, and someone will probably come to invade. Oh well, let's suspend other activities and prepare gifts for the invaders."
With this in mind, Lei Chi left the city defense center and carried a small table out of the mushroom hut, neatly stacking 200 gold coins on it.
Then, gather all the materials obtained from defeating the Mad Giant Rat next to the small table, go to the slime camp again, pick up 15 [Slime Skins], make them all into berets, and stack them next to the small table.
"Everything is ready except for the east wind; we're just waiting for a powerful enemy to come knocking!"
Lei Chi clapped his hands, then went to the slime camp and locked himself inside with the Slime King.
He had already reached LV6 and thought that if he could survive, he should. Level was still very important, and there was no need to be so ruthless as to sacrifice himself every time he was invaded.
So, Lei Chi slowly and methodically fought the slimes in the slime camp, gradually accumulating experience.
Time passed, and at this moment, the protection period for the secret camp at Leichi ended.
There were quite a few players already waiting in the War Hall, eager to invade the secret camp of Thunder Pool.
For example, Zisinger hesitated.
"This little punk is ridiculously overconfident. Did he take a rocket? The camp's defenses are so high, how could I possibly breach them?"
Zisinger hesitated for a moment, but it was too late to invade; someone had already beaten him to it!
Yan Xiaoyan also encountered the same situation.
Yan Xiaoyan has "chosen a different master" and has now joined the Da Ma Gang. In the new gang, she is eager to make a name for herself. She mentions to the gang leader Cao Da Ma and two elder players that she knows a secret camp of a small player that produces boxed lunches. With their permission, she gathers a small team of 30 people, which is exactly what she wants to do to invade the secret camp.
However, after seeing that the defense index of the secret camp in Leichi reached more than 200, she hesitated for a moment, and that hesitation led to her missing the opportunity.
The player who secured the invasion spot was, of course, Wang Daochang from the thug gang.
In the thugs' guild hall, Wang Daochang was addressing his men: "I have successfully launched the invasion war. The portal has been established. I will be the first to enter, and you will follow closely behind. Once inside the war corridor, there's no need for formations; just charge forward!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "At the end of the [War Corridor] is Jingyang Ridge. I've already told you how to get across it. Remember, take your medicine before entering Jingyang Ridge to make sure your health is full. Once inside, just run forward and don't try to fight the tiger. As long as you don't get choked, you won't lose much health. Even if you do get choked, as long as you keep your health above 2,000 before entering Jingyang Ridge, you'll pass without a problem."
"Alright, everyone, perk up and shout out the slogan with me..."
Wang Daochang has assembled a team of twenty people this time, with the elite of the seventh group all participating, and the average level of the team members is 22.
After shouting the slogan, Wang Daochang led everyone into the teleportation portal, and the next moment, they arrived at the secret camp of Thunder Pool.
"Charge!"
Run as fast as you can!
"This place relies solely on Jingyang Ridge; its defensive towers are actually quite average!"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
These players ran at full speed, and most of them easily escaped the range of the defensive tower, except for Wang Daochang, who was rather frustrated.
"Damn it, why have all these beast towers been moved to the front?!"
Wang Daochang was taking drugs as he spoke.
He was the first to emerge from the [Time-Space Wormhole] and was targeted by the ranged Beast Towers.
Actually, he wasn't afraid of the concentrated fire, as he had prepared large red potions and could withstand it. However, the four-fold slowdown made him suffer terribly.
The poisonous phlegm of the [Big Green Snake], the chilling aura of the [Big White Dove], the roar of the [Big Tiger], and the lightning strike of the [Thunder Lizard] made Wang Dao get on the treadmill and run at full speed, barely faster than an old lady taking a walk.
Although Lei Chi's ranged beast towers don't have high attack power, Wang Daochang isn't a boss either, and his health points are rapidly decreasing.
However, the potion had a cooldown period, and Wang Daochang felt he couldn't hold on any longer, so he shouted in the team channel: "Execute Plan B. I'll commit suicide first to save some potions. Niu Zi, you lead the team from now on. The invasion shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Don't worry, team leader, we've almost all broken out of the turret's range. You can retire now, haha!"
"Leave it to us!"
Someone immediately responded in the team channel, but Wang Daochang also sighed inwardly. This invasion was still not perfect. He was about to win, but he had to leave the field first. He was so unwilling.
"This was a mistake. We should have let Niu Zi and the others carry the tower! What's the point of this invasion if we can't humiliate that guy in front of everyone?"
Wang Daochang silently reflected on his actions, but quickly slapped his forehead, using the suicide escape method to avoid being killed.
In fact, it is precisely because of the suicide skill that Wang Daochang can tank the tower. After all, there is no loss in suicide. If other players tank the tower and are killed by the tower, they will lose three levels. Even if they are not killed, they will have to use a lot of medicine. Who would be willing to tank the tower?
Wang Daochang's prestige as a team leader was mostly built up through carrying towers and committing suicide.
"Niu Zi," whose real name is Jin Niu, is the deputy leader of the seventh group of the thugs. He took over the leadership duties and shouted, "Brothers, the group leader has been sacrificed! Victory is in sight! Charge!"
"Charge!"
The crowd responded enthusiastically.
These players were in high spirits and in good condition, with little loss of health. They also replenished their health with potions before entering Jingyang Ridge. In the end, the group of nineteen successfully passed through Jingyang Ridge and entered the secret camp of Lei Chi.
Of course, it was still difficult to avoid being choked by the big tiger, after all, the big tiger had a tiger roar that slowed people down. All nineteen people were choked and generally lost 1,500 to 1,600 health points in Jingyang Ridge.
"Yay! Once we're in the camp square, we're safe. It really does take the team leader's sacrifice to work!"
As Niu Zi shouted, five militiamen carrying hoes, picks, and hammers rushed out of the gold mine.
The leader was tall and imposing, wielding a small iron hammer.
Behind them followed an even taller orc laborer, who cried out, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm an orc laborer! Kill them! They're militia! I'm not!"
