Tower Defense Lord from Earth

Chapter 24 The Spider Fairy

What appeared before Liu Huasheng was a strange, dark red tower.

Its tower is wrapped in countless black, glass-like threads, and has glowing purple spider runes on its surface. At the top is a spider statue.

====

Name: Spider Web Tower

Rank: 1

Durability: 1000

Attack: 10

Attack range: 50 meters

Attack Speed: 0.5

Attack type: Physical

Attack Effect: [Sticky Web] The Spider Web Tower fires a ball of light from the top, which forms a web with a diameter of two meters upon hitting the target. The web lasts for 5 seconds, during which the target's movement speed is reduced by 20%, and small targets have a chance to be bound (immobilized) for 1 second!

This attack effect is enhanced against flying units; flying units bound by the web will land quickly and be immobilized for three seconds!

Spider towers will prioritize attacking targets that are not bound by spider webs.

Mysterious Ability: [Spider Fairy], when the Spider Web Tower launches an attack, there is a small chance to summon the Spider Fairy to assist in the battle.

The Spider Fairy is a non-physical flying unit that cannot be locked onto. She has an exquisite face, graceful movements, and wields a sword. She has 10 points of holy attack and a 1% chance to stun. She can exist permanently, but there can be no more than seven of her.

Note 1: The Divine Attack of the Spider Silk Immortal ignores all defense types and defense statuses, and the target will always take 100% damage.

Note 2: The pagoda is inscribed with the original text of Chapters 72 and 73 of Journey to the West, concerning Tang Sanzang's mistaken fall into the Spider Cave.

"Good heavens, it can summon the Spider Demon! What are we waiting for? Donkey, come here and get a beating!"

Liu Huasheng shouted loudly and activated his tower control skill, causing the spider tower to attack Donkey Afu.

Immediately, the spider statue at the top of the Spider Web Tower flashed with light, and a ball of light appeared out of thin air, quickly landing on the head of the donkey Afu.

Afu cried out, its health seemingly limitless and immune to control effects, yet it instinctively retreated, muttering, "Master, why do you keep hitting me?"

"Good donkey, don't move! I want to see the Spider Demon. If you find the demon, you'll have done a great service!"

Liu Huasheng was full of anticipation, but he waited for a full ten minutes. Donkey Afu caught more than three hundred light balls before a red light flashed on the spider web tower and a woman in a red dress appeared.

The woman was extremely beautiful. She was barefoot, wearing a light gauze dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist. Her hair was tied up in a high bun with a red hairpin, and a red ribbon was tied around her arm. She flew in the sky, her body as light as smoke. Suddenly, she chuckled, took out a sword, and flew towards the donkey Afu, stabbing him in the forehead. Then she immediately flew back!

-10!

Golden damage numbers appeared above the donkey Afu's head, its eyes shining brightly as it shouted, "Master, a celestial being has appeared!"

The woman in the red dress was none other than the Spider Fairy. She circled the Spider Web Tower once, her expression alluring and her movements light and graceful, giving the impression of a dance. She quickly launched another attack, still aiming her sword at the forehead of the donkey Afu.

"Is this the Spider Fairy? She's truly beautiful!"

Liu Huasheng followed the woman in the red dress with his eyes and nodded repeatedly. He thought to himself that the Spider Web Tower's magical abilities were not bad. Although the Spider Web Fairy's attack power was a bit low and she fought slowly, she had a good appearance and looked particularly pleasing to the eye!

About five minutes later, a golden light flashed on the Spider Web Tower, and another Spider Web Fairy wearing a yellow dress appeared.

The Spider Fairy remains as beautiful and charming as ever. She dances with flowing ribbons, wields a sword, and has a graceful figure. She attacks once after circling the tower.

Upon seeing the second Spider Fairy, Liu Huasheng slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "The Spider Fairy is supposed to be a spider demon, and that image is truly alluring! Goodness, if all seven Spider Fairies appeared, the scene would be like celestial beings descending from the heavens—absolutely magnificent! If there were ten or eight of these towers integrated into Chaos City, my Chaos City would be surrounded by fairies—how exciting would that be!"

At this moment, Wang Shuaibo was also drawn over. He craned his neck to stare at the flying spider fairy and exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, what kind of tower is this? How come there's a female flying fairy here?"

"What female flying hero? That's called the Spider Fairy!"

"The Spider Fairy?"

"Come here, read the articles on the tower, and understand them for yourself!"

Liu Huasheng was too lazy to explain. He ordered the Spider Web Tower to continue attacking Donkey Afu until all seven Spider Web Immortals appeared.

These seven Spider Fairies, dressed in seven-colored gauze skirts, would fly around the tower gracefully when not attacking, each one exquisitely beautiful, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Wang Shuaibo, who was unfamiliar with Earth's culture, spent the entire time squatting next to the Spider Web Tower watching Journey to the West, seemingly enjoying it immensely.

"The Spider Web Tower deals 5 damage per second, while the Spider Silk Immortal takes about four or five seconds to attack once. All seven combined only deal around ten points of damage per second. The Celestial Flying Immortal looks impressive, but its actual damage is insufficient! However, the Holy Attack is special; it might be useful against powerful bosses!"

Liu Huasheng silently made a summary. He felt that at this time, a spider web tower should be enough to protect the miners, and Wang Shuaibo would no longer need to wait here for them to come to him.

A moment later, Liu Huasheng drove the donkey cart, leading Wang Shuaibo and 10 hellhounds to the high ground at 3:30.

At this very moment, Ma Xianlong had already arrived at the high ground ahead of everyone else.

He frowned immediately upon seeing that Chaos City wasn't there, and said, "Oh no, someone stole this place? Who? The Wolf King of Northern Liang?"

"Master! Someone has built a tower on this high ground; it's a first-tier ancient guardian!"

The goofy assistant chimed in, "There's also a level 3 B-rank hero!"

"Tier 3 hero?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianlong frowned even more deeply.

His hero, Ha Dazhuang, is also a B-level hero. He played jungle last night and just leveled up to level 3!

"Someone actually possesses a B-rank hero! This person must be a formidable rival! I can't let them develop peacefully. A defensive tower, is it? Strike first! I have a catapult, destroy it!"

Ma Xianlong acted decisively. He glanced at the ancient guardian and immediately ordered the catapults to attack it.

The catapult was huge and clumsy, slowly launching a stone. Just as the stone was about to hit the ancient guardian, the ancient guardian suddenly sprang up from its roots, sidestepped, and nimbly dodged the boulder.

"Um?"

Ma Xianlong's eyes widened, and he roared, "Damn it, what's going on? Am I seeing things? I saw that the turret actually dodge the attack!"

"Master, you're not seeing things! That turret really did dodge the attack! Oh no, it's charging at us!"

The silly goose exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, in Ma Xianlong's vision, the ancient guardian was rushing over at great speed, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him!

The LV3 B-rank hero also charged over, wielding a hammer, but he was slower than the Ancient Guardian and was left behind.

"What the hell! Is this turret coming over here to fight me hand-to-hand?" Ma Xianlong felt his worldview was about to shatter, but he didn't care about anything else and ran away as fast as he could.

The silly goose also ran away, but the level 3 hero Ha Dazhuang roared, raised his axe, and charged towards the ancient guardian.

The catapult remained in place, slowly and steadily hurling stones.

But the stones it threw were dodged by the ancient guardians.

Naha Dazhuang rushed up to him and swung his axe repeatedly.

The ancient guardian, nearly ten meters tall, was incredibly agile, sliding, sidestepping, spinning...

Its body created a blur of motion, like a staggering gait, its steps unpredictable. Ha Dazhuang swung his axe more than a dozen times, but failed to hit it once. Instead, he was sent flying by a single punch.

The ancient guardian, however, did not linger in battle; its hatred was fixed on the catapult, and it continued its charge toward it.

"Trying to attack my catapults?"

Ma Xianlong was alarmed and immediately ordered the catapults to retreat.

But the catapult was bulky and heavy, taking several seconds to turn around, and it didn't move very fast. It was quickly caught up by the ancient guardians.

So Ma Xianlong watched helplessly as the ancient guardian smashed the catapult to pieces with his fists.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this tower?!"

Ma Xianlong couldn't help but curse aloud, and his dim-witted assistant exclaimed again, "Master, something terrible has happened! A large enemy force is attacking!"
