Chapter 176 Second-order Life Tree Tower, New Features

"Squeak..."

In the golden maze, angry screams of monkeys could be heard one after another.

On the giant trees in the distance, the gibbons were also trying their best to support the escape.

The whole space was like boiling water, and the squeaking sounds of monkeys were extremely noisy.

"It's really noisy."

Mo Yu, who was deep in the maze, glanced at the treetops from afar and couldn't help but sigh.

Beside him, Salt and Mu Qiao nodded in agreement.

"We have to hurry, it's going to be dark soon." Salt looked up at the sky and showed a trace of worry.

The forest at night is much more terrifying than during the day.

Mo Yu certainly knew this, but due to the interference of the monkeys, he was unable to quickly obtain the life magic crystal.

However, these monkeys are very agile and it is difficult to completely clear them out in a short period of time.

"Change the target of attack. Clear all the branches of these trees first." Mo Yu decisively changed the target of attack.

The monkeys' flexibility is based on the large number of branches that provide them with climbing support.

After clearing away the branches, only the trunk is left for them to climb up and down, but they have no space to move left and right.

Moreover, the life magic crystals of plants are usually hidden in the trunk, so there is no need to worry about damaging the target.

Sure enough, as a large number of branches were cleared away, the monkeys' hiding space became smaller and smaller.

Without the cover of branches and leaves, they are nothing more than moving targets exposed to the elements.

As for the monkeys trapped in the maze, most of them had been damaged by the Golden Guard's reckless attack.

There are only a few slightly stronger gorillas left, fighting hard, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

"Solter, you should also go and move around."

After receiving the order, Salter joined the battlefield with the dragon eagle.

Compared to defense towers that are easy to miss, their attacks are more accurate and deadly.

Every time a dragon eagle swoops down, it can easily take the life of a monkey.

The squeaking sounds of the monkeys gradually decreased at a very noticeable rate, becoming sporadic and dispersed.

The slightly larger golden monkey king was shot dead on the tree trunk by Salt.

The remaining monkeys scattered.

They quickly fell to the ground along the tree trunks and used all four claws to drill into the surrounding mountains and jungles.

Mo Yu did not try to stop it, and in just over ten seconds, the tree trunk became empty.

"I'll leave the Life Magic Crystal to you." Mo Yu looked at Mu Qiao, who had been slacking off throughout the battle, and pursed his lips.

The subway zombies lurking underground have already destroyed the main root system of the giant tree. If the other party had the temper, they would have stood up and fought long ago.

Obviously, the giant tree in front of them just grew so big for nothing and had no independent consciousness, otherwise the monkeys would not have occupied its crown as their base.

"Yes, my lord." Mu Qiao took the order and left.

He carefully sensed the giant tree, and with his unique experience, Mu Qiao quickly determined the approximate location of the Life Magic Crystal.

"My Lord, the life crystal of this tree is probably in this position, but in the center of the trunk, it is not easy to dig."

Mu Qiao pointed to a position about two-thirds of the way up the giant tree and reported loudly to Mo Yu.

He is powerless in this position.

If he were to dig slowly, he would probably have to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Okay, you come and command these rock-armored army ants to dig."

Mo Yu sent out more than ten rock-armored army ants to assist Mu Qiao.

Ants have good climbing abilities. Except for the largest rock-armored giant ants, the remaining types of ants all have the ability to climb trees.

Among them, the rock-armored army ants have the sharpest mouthparts, with which they can easily chew out a passage.

After setting the defense tower to alert mode, Mo Yu no longer cared about Mu Qiao's affairs and started checking the situation in the golden maze.

In the previous battle with the melee monkeys, the summoned creatures were also restricted by the maze, and most of them were unable to engage the monkeys.

The main fighting force relies on the Golden Guard in the Golden Maze.

During the battle, they suffered considerable casualties, with more than 200 people killed, mostly ordinary Gold Guards.

Fortunately, these guards can be restored after their death.

In just one night, the Golden Guard of the Golden Labyrinth would be fully resurrected.

I have to say, this tower is quite practical.

Mo Yu stood up and stretched, put away the golden maze, and collected the spoils on the battlefield.

He didn't bring any followers with him this time, nor did he bring Zhong Han and the others, so he had to rely on himself for the spoils.

Next time I must bring someone to help me pack up the spoils.

Mo Yu was picking up the spoils scattered on the ground while thinking secretly.

Next to him, the Flame Wolf was still working on breaking skulls and searching for magic crystals.

If we couldn’t dig one out from the ogre, it doesn’t make sense that we couldn’t dig one out from these monkeys.

The Iron Claw Monkey Recruiting Scroll... The Primary Soldier Strengthening Scroll... The King Kong Ape Recruiting Scroll... After picking them up, Mo Yu only got twelve pieces of trophies.

The monster drop rate is getting lower and lower!
This feeling is very obvious and can be compared from several major battles, from the fallen monsters, the undead... to today's ogres and monkeys.

It can be clearly sensed that the loot dropped directly by monsters is getting less and less, and more materials and finished equipment are obtained.

If you can't change the rules, you can only adapt to them.

At this time, the Flame Wolf next to them brought good news that they had dug up the magic crystal!

The fourth-level non-attribute magic crystal can be upgraded to non-attribute defense towers such as repair towers and rapid musket towers.

As long as the defense tower level is below epic level, the promotion conditions are generally relatively simple, and often varying numbers of magic crystals can complete the promotion.

Mo Yu was greatly encouraged and commanded more Flame Demon Wolves to join the search for the magic crystal.

On this side, Mu Qiao also brought good news.

The magic crystals of life were dug up, five in total, all the size of basketballs and shaped like green hearts.

According to Mu Qiao, as long as the life energy of plants reaches a certain level, they can basically produce life magic crystals.

These trees are completing the transition from ordinary plants to plant monsters.

If we allow them to grow for a while longer, they might awaken a faint intelligence and develop a variety of attack methods, which would then make them very difficult to deal with.

I have to say that lords who play tower games are very lucky.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the Flame Wolf finished wreaking havoc on the monkey corpses on the battlefield, and Mo Yu harvested a total of five attributeless magic crystals.

The goal was achieved, and without any hesitation, he quickly packed up the defense tower and organized the team to start the return journey.

The return to city spell has just been activated once. The only way to go back now is through the Dragon Eagle.

However, there is no need to look for plants on the return trip. When the dragon eagle is at full speed, its speed will be much faster.

Compared to when I came here, it was at least five times higher. Mo Yu was so cold at night that he couldn't open his eyes, and his head felt numb.

It just rained today and the temperature dropped dramatically.

In weather like this, you can imagine how thrilling it is to go high-altitude speeding.

Along the way, Salt attacked several times, but Mo Yu didn't see the situation clearly.

Anyway, there were no dangers on the road and we returned to the territory safely.

Next time I'll have to wear a helmet with a visor!
This was the only thought in Mo Yu's mind as he fell from the dragon eagle, his body half stiff.

I returned to the room and took a hot shower. Under the influence of the constant temperature magic circle - the air conditioner from another world, my body finally recovered.

Only then did Mo Yu have time to process the information reported by Da Zhuang.

Today, Bruman, with the Tomahawk Squad, magic apprentices, Zhong Han and others, successfully destroyed two one-star strongholds.

There were no casualties, and we harvested two one-star stronghold treasure chests, 15 tents, 688 gold coins, and 25 weapons of various types.

Aside from the two stronghold treasure chests, no loot was dropped from killing monsters on site.

It is worth mentioning that several magic apprentices were tricked by Bruman at the scene and almost lost their lives, so they became much more obedient.

The shining axes of the centaurs and the blood spilled on the crowd after they were killed made these young magic apprentices deeply aware of the horror and cruelty of war.

Now they are back under Annis's command, and they are all very honest. If they say they are going east, they would never dare to go west.

Mo Yu was not in a hurry to check the harvest. After simply filling his stomach, he excitedly came to the back of the lord's courtyard.

The Tree of Life Tower, which has reached the top of the first level, is more than 20 meters high.

Seeing Mo Yu coming, the Tree of Life Tower came up and a beam of life light smashed down.

Hiss…ha…so cool!

Mo Yu shuddered and quickly recovered.

Although I have bathed in the light of life many times, I still can't stop feeling comfortable every time. This baptism that comes from the level of life also brings people the trembling of life.

The Tree of Life Tower shook its branches happily. After these days of development, its vague consciousness gradually became clearer.

For example, the light of life in front of it is its subconscious closeness to Mo Yu.

In the open space below the Tree of Life Tower, six palm-sized balls of light were floating.

These balls of light are the young of nature elves.

If we use the human development process to describe it, they should still be in the most primitive fertilized egg state, and it will take some time for them to fully hatch.

The state of the natural elf at this moment is not enough to directly withstand the energy infusion of the light of life.

Therefore, most of the time, the Tree of Life Tower shines the light of life on the open space near it, changing the surrounding environment.

It will be much safer if the young light ball slowly absorbs the life energy from the surrounding environment.

When they are born, that is, in the infant state, they can directly receive the baptism of the light of life.

Because of the birth of these young nature elves, the Tree of Life Tower has officially entered a state of martial law.

No one is allowed to get close.

Among them, Salt was the worst.

"Come, look what I brought you!" Mo Yu touched the trunk of the Tree of Life Tower and took out five life magic crystals from his backpack with a smile.

There is one left for now, in case the Tree of Life Tower can’t resist and eats it all in one go.

When the Life Tree Tower sensed the breath of the Life Magic Crystal, it suddenly felt a surge of joy and happiness.

Then it couldn't wait to drop its branches, wrapped in the magic crystal of life, onto the treetops.

Mo Yu was waiting quietly below.

As a special defense tower, the advancement of the Tree of Life Tower is different from that of other defense towers. It does not advance directly after submitting materials.

The specific method of advancement is controlled by itself.

As for Mo Yu, he only needs to provide the materials.

The Tree of Life Tower did not make Mo Yu wait too long. After five life magic crystals were sent up and waiting for about ten minutes, a strong breath of life spread out with the Tree of Life Tower as the center.

The breath was not intense and no signs could be seen in the air.

Salt on the floating island suddenly opened his eyes and looked down in shock. The noise just now was caused by the Tree of Life.

When he thought of the Tree of Life, he thought of the natural spirits that were about to be born.

When he thought of the nature elves, he felt itchy inside.

However, Mo Yu has warned that no one is allowed to approach the Tree of Life recently, otherwise the promised natural elf companion will not be obtained.

So even though Salt wanted to go over and take a look immediately, he had to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

In fact, except for people with keen perception like Salt, others could not even sense it, and only vaguely felt that their bodies seemed to have become lighter.

This is considered a large-scale blessing of the light of life from the Tree of Life Tower, but the effect is not very obvious and cannot reach the level of prolonging life.

But it can eliminate all the fatigue, hidden injuries and diseases of the people.

[Reminder: Your defense tower, the Life Tree Tower, has been promoted to the second level.]

At the same time, Mo Yu under the Tree of Life Tower finally received the news of its promotion.

【Tree of Life Tower】

[Level]: Second-level myth (0/180000 growth degrees, 50000 points of magic power, 45 magic crystals of any plant system, and the area life energy value reaches 900 points.)
【Function】: Can condense the light of life.

[Attributes]: 1 round/1 minute, range 2000 meters, regional life energy value 5 points, occupies 50 grids, bound to Lord No. 985211.

[Characteristic Growth]: The Life Tree Tower can absorb the light of life and use it for its own growth. Each light of life can increase the growth of the Life Tree Tower by 20 points.

[Characteristics of Life Blessing]: Living things absorb the energy from the light of life to restore vitality, prolong life, and improve physical fitness.

[Characteristic Breeding]: There is a chance that nature elves will be bred in the condensed light of life.

[Features: Luxuriant Branches and Leaves]: The reproduction of life in the territory will make it easier for the next generation to be born, and the growth rate of young animals will be accelerated by 60%.

[Feature Life Fountain]: When the area's life energy value reaches 500 or above, it will have the ability to condense life fountain water.

[Introduction]: A special defense tower that combines the characteristics of a defense tower with some of the characteristics of the Tree of Life.

The second-level Tree of Life Tower has a new concept of regional life energy value.

Mo Yu could probably understand this thing. It was the concentration of life energy in the environment surrounding the Tree of Life Tower.

The existing five points are gradually formed in order to improve the growth environment of young natural elves.

At this rate, it won’t be easy to improve.

In addition, the Tree of Life Tower has a new feature, the Fountain of Life.

Mo Yu thought of the fountain of life that the Elemental Elf Tribe had given him before. The other party probably couldn't imagine that he now has the ability to produce it himself.

Of course, no matter how powerful it is, the conditions for promotion to the third level are also incredibly tight.

Putting aside the not-so-difficult growth rate and magic power, there are 45 plant magic crystals and the regional life energy value reaches 900 points.

This is not an easy thing to achieve.

It looks like I can only endure it slowly.
