Chapter 28 Capricorn Rat
Chapter 28 Capricorn Rat
The watchtower was activated, like a cluster of fireworks exploding in the sky. Under the dazzling light, a huge screen appeared in front of Zhou Nan, displaying the scene of due south on the map.
There was a huge, dilapidated altar there.
"It's the Altar of Glory! So, the spawn point due south is the Temple of Glory, and there are no players there; it's already been wiped out! Then the spawn point that Dali made me use for a miracle must be either due west or due north..."
Zhou Nan understood that the watchtower was very useful for reconnaissance. The observation range could last for half a minute. During the time it took for the artilleryman to upgrade his star level, he could easily scout the entire map and estimated that he would soon be able to detect the movements of [Dali Let Me Create a Miracle].
Next, the gunners began firing with great enthusiasm.
The Spiked Dragon Turtle possesses the [Spiked Skin] skill, making it incredibly tough. A cannonball that deals 540 damage will only inflict 216 damage on it, effectively giving it a 60% damage reduction. Furthermore, it automatically regenerates 30 health points per second, totaling 300 health points every ten seconds. Even if the cannonball attacks relentlessly, its damage output cannot keep up with the Spiked Dragon Turtle's health regeneration. Even if you fight it for ten thousand years, you'll never be able to kill it.
Zhou Nan never intended to kill the Spiked Dragon Turtle; he just needed a target. Besides, he was also waiting.
Wait for the monsters that unlock temple technology and unit types to spawn.
This is a gamble! It's a bit like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
Because there is a fixed spawn point for unlocking monsters at the bottom of this watchtower, and the range of the cannon dart is 100 meters, if a monster spawns at that spawn point, he can attack it through the spiked dragon turtle thanks to the extremely long range. At that time, the spiked dragon turtle blocking the bottom of the tower will actually be an excellent obstacle, blocking the unlocking monster and preventing it from coming up.
Of course, there are as many as twelve fixed spawn points for unlocking monsters in the [Four Directions Temple]. These spawn points are numbered 1 to 12 by players from west to east and from north to south on the minimap. The spawn point below the watchtower is number 8. It is difficult to predict when the unlocking monster will spawn.
If Zhou Nan were playing against a master in the "Four Directions Temple" challenge, he wouldn't dare to do it this way. But since his opponent was "Mighty Force Makes Me a Miracle," he felt it didn't matter.
Seeing this, the spectator, [Blood Sea Great Sage], couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Idiot, this guy's an idiot, he's been blocked by the Spiked Dragon Turtle!"
Even the "Strongest Scoundrel" found it strange and asked, "What kind of stunt is this? He's been trapped and can't get out?"
[Blood Sea Great Sage] said, "Of course they can't get out! That's a spiked dragon turtle blocking the entrance. It scared me half to death before. I thought this Black Card Emperor had some tricks up his sleeve, but it turns out he just opened the watchtower. There are always some half-baked little players trying to be clever by opening the watchtower right away, and they all end up being blocked on the high ground like this, hahaha!"
"This is like locking yourself in solitary confinement. Interesting, really interesting."
The "Ultimate Scoundrel" also joined in the fun.
【Blood Sea Great Sage】 added: "This is a one-on-one mode. Now that's great. The Black Card Emperor has sealed off his hometown and locked himself up in the Watchtower Highlands. It's no different from AFK. I've never seen such an idiot. The wild monster resources outside are all great. She just needs to lead her troops to slowly farm monsters, farm the tech monsters, and get high-level troops. This duel is sure to be won."
The "Strongest Scoundrel" said, "I really regret it. Why didn't I accept his challenge? I missed out on a hundred gold coins... Master, is he unable to come out?"
"The only way out is to die!"
"Death?"
"Yes, running to the Spiked Dragon Turtle to die is a waste. This map is different from the Duel Arena. In the Duel Arena, players are immediately removed from the game when they die. If all players on one side die, they lose. In the Four Directions Temple, players can respawn at their base after dying. Only when the base's landmark building is destroyed is it considered a loss."
"Hopefully, this little piece of trash will lock himself up for a while longer..."
The more [Blood Sea Great Sage] and [Strongest Scoundrel] watched, the happier they became. The Black Card Emperor didn't commit suicide; he just stayed there playing in the watchtower.
Zhou Nan would certainly not commit suicide.
He has discovered the location of the Cursed Temple and the movements of "Might Makes Me a Miracle" through the watchtower.
This [Power Makes Me a Miracle] is currently leading seven night owls and skeleton soldiers to raid the Fifth Ring Road.
Skeleton soldiers are the basic units in the Cursed Temple, corresponding to the Jungle Archers in the Cursed Temple.
Once the barracks are opened, all the basic units in the temples can be trained one per minute, with a maximum of 30. Among the basic units in the four temples, the skeletons are the weakest, as they are slow, have low attack, and are fragile.
【Dali Makes Me a Miracle】Gathering skeletons to farm is extremely inefficient.
She only knew how to hunt along the Fifth Ring Road and had no idea how to scout ahead; she had already passed the entrance to her own base.
Suddenly, a regional announcement sounded: "Ding! Attention! An Electric Slime has appeared at coordinates [124; 1278]. Defeating the Electric Slime will increase the maximum number of basic troop types in the Temple by 20, and there is a chance to obtain a Gold Chest!"
"The announcement has been released!"
【With great effort, I can achieve miracles】 My spirits lifted. "Master said to go and steal monsters when you hear the area announcement, so I'll go now. An electric slime? It should be easy to fight, right? How do I get to these coordinates...?"
Zhou Nan also heard the regional announcement and thought it was a pity that the Electric Slime's spawn point wasn't here. Judging from the coordinates, it should be the second spawn point in the northwest of the map.
"Just wait patiently."
Zhou Nan wasn't in a hurry. He used the watchtower once a minute to scout out the movements of [Mighty Force Makes Me a Miracle].
Ten minutes later, the second area announcement sounded: "Ding, please note that a Capricorn Rat has appeared at coordinates [622; 478]. Defeat the Capricorn Rat to unlock the second unit in the temple and have a chance to obtain a card reward (card reward can only be obtained once)."
Zhou Nan was instantly energized!
"Isn't that infuriating? Here it comes, hahaha!"
【622; 478】are the coordinates of spawn point number eight below Watchtower Heights.
Zhou Nan quickly looked down and saw that about sixty meters away from the spiky dragon turtle, a huge rat with flame-shaped ram horns on its head emerged from the ground. That was the Capricorn Rat. It only had front legs, no hind legs, a long, flat tail, and scales on its hind body. It was about the size of a calf.
[Capricorn Rat: A special dungeon monster with 10000 HP, 88-102 Attack, 1.5 Attack Speed, and 1 Armor. It possesses the Ignite Fireball skill and has good resistance to ice magic damage.]
"Gunner, quick, go down there and lure the Capricorn Rat over to kill it!"
At Zhou Nan's command, the cannonman carried the cannon barrel down the high ground, and a group of little fishmen automatically followed behind him.
Normal ranged units wouldn't be able to hit Capricorn Rat through the Spiked Turtle, but the Cannon has a range of 100 meters, so it can easily hit Capricorn Rat.
boom!
"-509!"
The shot hit the target squarely, and a bright red damage number appeared above the Capricorn Rat's head. It squeaked, and orange flames shot out from its eyes. It immediately locked onto the cannonman and rushed over quickly.
Then, he was trapped behind the spiky dragon turtle, screeching helplessly.
