Chapter 181 Attacked
The Stone Giant's stronghold was very quiet, with no signs of any Stone Giant activity. It felt like an empty city.

But Mo Yu doesn't think so. The monsters in the stronghold can't leave too far away from the stronghold now.

There is only one possibility for not seeing any monsters at this moment, that is, they are hiding.

As for the hidden location...Mo Yu looked at the stones in the stone giant's stronghold.

When the little stone monster in the territory is not active, it likes to retract its hands and feet and looks like a stone.

The Stone Giant, whose name sounds similar to the Little Stone Monster, should also be a type of soldier in the same series.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the stones scattered in the stronghold correspond to stone giants.

Mo Yu did not expose his identity. He quietly moved to a position that was more suitable for placing a defense tower and summoned a defense tower.

The sudden appearance of the defense tower did not attract the stone giants.

But since the other party is willing to do so, Mo Yu will not be in a hurry to attack.

The four main summoning towers, the Skeleton Summoning Tower, the Underground Corpse Tower, the Earth Ant Nest Tower and the Flame Wolf Summoning Tower, began to exert their power continuously, and a large number of summoned creatures gathered around them.

Ten minutes passed without any reaction from the stone giant.

At this time, Mo Yu had gathered enough troops to destroy the stone giant's stronghold.

Get started!
At a command, the undead army consisting of skeleton soldiers and lying iron zombies rushed towards the stone giant's stronghold.

The Flame Demon Wolves and Earth Ants surrounded them from both sides, and their main attack was strength in numbers.

Stimulated by the outside world, the semi-dormant stone giants finally woke up.

Rumble, with the sound of the earth shaking, the stones in the depression stood up one by one.

Unlike the small stone monsters, these stone giants are all over five meters tall.

As soon as they appeared, they grabbed the stones around them and threw them at the madly rushing undead army.

The millstone-sized stone, with its enormous force, instantly knocked over a large number of undead.

The skeleton soldiers' small bodies couldn't resist at all and were smashed to pieces by the stones.

Even the iron corpse with a slightly stronger body had half of its body injured.

Just one round of stone throwing killed at least a hundred undead.

"The range is about a hundred meters. I'm very safe here." Mo Yu stood far away at the edge of the depression and breathed a sigh of relief.

This depression is not big. If the stone giant's shooting range is further extended by seventy or eighty meters, the defense tower next to him will be threatened.

Obviously, the stones thrown by the stone giant could not reach this range.

After all, they rely purely on their own strength, and the weight of the stones themselves is also amazing. It is quite exaggerated that they can reach a hundred meters.

Under Mo Yu's command, the summoned creatures quickly completed the siege of the stone giant's stronghold and began to attack from four directions.

But compared to the four-star werewolf stronghold, the speed of encircling and suppressing these stone giants was much slower.

There are not many stone giants, but they are quite powerful, generally reaching the fourth level.

Its own characteristics determine that it has extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The attacks of summoned creatures such as the Flame Wolf and Skeleton Soldiers are mostly unable to break through the Stone Giant's defense.

Even among the defense towers, there are quite a few that are difficult to cause fatal damage to.

Only a few defense towers such as the Victory Spear Tower and the Holy Sword Tower can threaten the life of the Stone Giant.

Fortunately, there are enough summoned creatures, and even if they cannot do anything to the stone giant for a while, they have no way to escape.

Bang!
With a heavy crash, the stone giant smashed several skeleton soldiers with one punch, but more skeleton soldiers squeezed in from behind.

It was surrounded by densely packed summoned creatures, unable to move at all.

It was like being stuck in mud and unable to pull my feet out.

After discovering that the attack could not cause much damage to the stone giant, Mo Yu changed the offensive strategy of summoning creatures.

Just one word: drag.

Buy time for the defense tower to output damage and don't let these stone giants get close to the defense tower.

In this regard, the Flame Wolf and the Earth Ant executed it quite thoroughly.

They climbed onto the stone giant regardless of anything, hanging all over the stone giant like pendants clinging to his thighs.

The undead had low IQs and could not understand Mo Yu's orders at all. They just crowded around the stone giant and rallied closely around it.

In this situation, the stone giant could not move at all.

Under the attack of the defense tower, the stone giants fell one after another.

There are fewer and fewer people standing on the battlefield.

The stone giant is difficult to kill, but not impossible to kill, especially after the core is found.

The victory gun tower turns on the equality mode for all beings, just like pinching a chicken, one shot kills one stone giant.

These stone giants are huge, so accuracy is not a problem at all.

There is no way, the Victory Gun Tower is the natural enemy of defensive creatures like them.

If it were an agile creature with a faster speed, the effect of the Victory Gun Tower would be much weaker.

Boom! The last stone giant's body fell down, crushing a large number of skeleton soldiers.

Along with the splashing dust, Mo Yu finally received the prompt.

[Reminder: You have destroyed the three-star stone giant stronghold, and obtained 3 battle points, 9 territory reputation points, and 1 three-star stronghold treasure chest.]

Although it was a bit difficult, I still succeeded.

After a quick cleanup of the battlefield, no loot was found.

The stone giant's possessions are nothing but stones.

If Mo Yu had enough time, he could collect a lot of stones here.

"Let's go to the next place!"

Mo Yu waved his hand, put away the defense tower, and led the team to the next stronghold.

Back into the dense forest, the familiar darkness enveloped us again, making us feel gloomy.

In the team, twenty shadow scouts were summoned.

Now they are officially entering the depths of the forest, where the danger will increase significantly. Considering their own safety, the shadow scouts' rest becomes less important.

Besides, a whole morning has passed by now.

With the rotation, at least they all got some rest.

As the team moved deeper into the forest, they encountered more and more monster attacks, some of which even the Shadow Scouts could not resist.

For example, the armored war bear that just appeared was a fifth-level creature. It took a lot of effort to take it down.

"Let's dig. Level 5 creatures should have magic crystals."

Mo Yu stood beside the corpse of the armored war bear and signaled the shadow scouts to go up and look for the magic crystal.

The attribute magic crystals born from the bodies of these monsters are essential items for upgrading defense towers, and a large number of them are needed.

So he won't miss any opportunity he can get.

The armored war bear's skin was very tough, and it took the shadow scout a while to cut a hole in it.

After a bloody exploration, they finally found a khaki magic crystal in its body.

The fifth-level earth magic crystal is awesome.

A smile appeared on Mo Yu's face.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the space behind him fluctuated, and a black shadow leaped out from it and attacked Mo Yu.

The timing chosen by the opponent was very clever; it was the moment when the shadow scout dug out the magic crystal, and the whole team was most happy and relaxed.

It happened very suddenly. The assassin's attack was as fast as wind and thunder. Mo Yu had no time to dodge completely, and he didn't even have time to summon a defense tower.

At the critical moment, he shifted his body to avoid the vital points.

The combat experience accumulated from countless simulated training in the fighting training ground saved him.

In the fighting training ground, Mo Yu not only PKed with the Tauren, but also fought against the Shadow Scout.

Fighting with the Tauren is blocking training, but fighting with the Shadow Scout is purely survival training.

Repeated sneak attacks from the shadows behind him have made Mo Yu develop a strong crisis response.

This dodging successfully saved his life. The opponent stabbed Mo Yu's shoulder with a dagger, piercing through it.

The dagger was very sharp. If it had hit his neck, he would have been dead.

Seeing that his first attack missed, the assassin decisively launched a second attack.

But he no longer had a chance, as Mo Yu's defense tower had been summoned, with BUFF added and the city wall mode activated.

At the same time, the Shadow Scout jumped out from the nearby shadows and attacked the assassin.

Just now, the lord was ambushed and nearly died. As his guards, they have an unshirkable responsibility.

Therefore, the attack was very fierce, but the assassin was very slippery and seemed to have some hidden ability like the Shadow Scout.

In the end, it was Teemo's precise poisoned dart that slowed down the assassin's movements and eventually captured him.

I originally planned to leave him alive, but he decisively committed suicide.

Hiss...it hurts!
Mo Yu covered his shoulder, his face slightly pale.

The pain in the fighting training ground comes and goes quickly, but it is not like this in the real world.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he was injured so badly and he almost died.

In addition to the pain, Mo Yu was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked at the corpse on the ground, which was a humanoid creature with lavender skin.

The information revealed by the reconnaissance technique on the body of the Void Assassin is very simple.

After committing suicide, for some unknown reason, its body is decaying at an extremely fast rate.

In this way, even if we want to get more information from the corpse, there is no way.

A layer of gloom shrouded Mo Yu's heart. After being captured alive, this Void chose to commit suicide immediately.

This means that there must be some force hidden behind the other party, otherwise he would not commit suicide so decisively.

"Do any of you know this creature?"

Mo Yu covered his shoulders with his hands and frowned.

Half of it hurts, and half of it is annoying.

Being watched by this creature would be quite troublesome for him in the wild.

I was lucky this time and escaped, but what about next time?

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Mo Yu will never feel at peace unless he finds out this force.

Timo shook his head. He spent most of his time wandering outside, mingling with refugees, and the knowledge he gained came from those who came to the territory.

At this time, a shadow scout said in some doubt: "My Lord, I think it looks a bit like the legendary void creature."

"Void creature? Big bug? Grasshopper?" Mo Yu's first reaction was to think of the famous Void race in the League of Legends.

But the Shadow Scout's subsequent words proved that the void creatures they were talking about were not of the same type.

"Void creatures are creatures that are good at using the power of the void. During the battle just now, they often disappeared out of thin air... We are also a race that is good at hiding, so we are familiar with this kind of ability. Those who can disappear without a trace or suddenly appear are most likely escaping into the void."

"Then why didn't it choose to escape into the void since it failed in the assassination just now?" Mo Yu was a little confused.

After the second attack was blocked, the assassin completely lost his chance. With such ability, why didn't he run away, but was surrounded and killed instead.

"It should be related to its own strength. After failure, the remaining power is probably not enough to support its escape." The shadow scout guessed.

Mo Yu nodded.

At this time, Timo interrupted and said, "Brother Mo, do you think it has something to do with the decreasing number of spawning monsters in the past few days?"

Mo Yu's breathing stagnated, it seemed that this was really possible.

Just as he was about to continue questioning the shadow scout, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Oops, it's poisonous!
Yes, isn’t poisoning a basic skill an assassin’s signature skill?

No, we have to get back to the territory quickly.

Mo Yu resisted the urge to feel dizzy, quickly put away the defense tower, activated the return to city spell and returned to the territory.

To be on the safe side, he deliberately left four shadow scouts to guard outside to prevent the void creatures from attacking again after all the troops and defense towers were taken in.

As soon as he landed, Mo Yu felt his feet go weak and he had difficulty standing.

He quickly released Teemo and the troops and defense towers in the War Gate, and called on the Tree of Life Tower.

"Quick, Light of Life!"

At Mo Yu's shout, the Tree of Life Tower behind the lord's courtyard swung beams of life light towards him one after another.

There is also the Holy Healing Light Tower, and one holy healing spell after another falls on him.

Supported by a large amount of vitality, Mo Yu's face soon turned rosy, but the feeling of dizziness was difficult to subside.

His current condition is roughly like this: his blood is full, but the negative state of poisoning cannot be removed immediately.

But the power of the light of life is very strong, especially after the Tree of Life Tower was promoted to the second level, it firmly protected Mo Yu's main area and prevented the toxins in his body from breaking through.

Otherwise, once the toxins infiltrate major organs such as the heart, it will be troublesome.

"Brother Mo, let me take a look at your wound. I may be able to help you!"

Timo's face turned red with anxiety, and he jumped aside, trying to check the wound.

But he was too short, and Mo Yu couldn't see what the wound looked like unless he squatted down.

In fact, Mo Yu summoned Teemo with this in mind, but the poison took effect too quickly, and he only had time to call upon the light of the Tree of Life Tower before he fell to the ground involuntarily.

Timo supported Mo Yu with difficulty and checked his wound.

The wound was purple and black in color, and seemed to possess some special power, making it difficult to heal.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the yard and Da Zhuang ran over in a hurry.

"What happened--Master!!!"

He was sweating profusely, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Mo Yu lying on the ground.

Da Zhuang's tears suddenly welled up and he hugged Mo Yu's body and burst into tears.

"Don't touch Brother Mo's body, I'm trying to find a way!"

Teemo called his goblin dart soldiers and told them to get tools.

After a brief panic, he had determined that Mo Yu was not actually in serious danger of life.

With the protection of the rich life energy that continuously descends from the sky, the toxins have essentially stopped spreading.

Now the two sides are engaged in a war of attrition, but one side has a constant supply while the other side has no source.

If you keep consuming it, the toxins will be eliminated sooner or later.

But Timo didn't know that the light of life was endless. He knew that he had to find a way to guide the toxins out of Mo Yu's body as soon as possible.

This way, he will recover quickly.

Soon, the tools were brought over, and Timo began to treat Mo Yu's wound in an orderly manner.

Under his treatment, streams of purple-black blood were guided out.

Da Zhuang was sweating profusely from anxiety, but he didn't dare to say anything. He knew that this was a critical moment.

The purple-black blood lasted for several minutes, and finally, it gradually flowed into normal blood red.

"Okay!" Timo let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his head.

"That's good, that's good... How long will it take to recover?" Da Zhuang couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

Timo scratched his head. He had no idea about this question.

"It shouldn't be too long!"

But soon, he thought of something and frowned, saying, "Manager Dazhuang, Brother Mo is now unconscious, and the force that attacked us is still watching us in secret. The situation in the territory is now very critical..."

"Okay, I will immediately activate combat readiness and have all the teams outside return to the territory!"

Da Zhuang also knew the priorities of the matter, so he suppressed his inner doubts and went down to make arrangements immediately.

Timo stayed beside Mo Yu, looking at the sky outside the territory, feeling a little worried.

Fortunately, after just over an hour, Mo Yu woke up.

Who made the Tree of Life Tower so nourishing!
