Chapter 29: Capricorn Rat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The watchtower was activated, and there was an effect like a bunch of fireworks exploding in the sky. Under the dazzling light, a huge screen appeared in front of Zhou Nan, showing the scene in the south of the map.

There was a huge broken altar there.

“It’s the Altar of Glory! In that case, the spawn point in the south is the Temple of Glory. Without players, it would appear destroyed! The spawn point of Dali is either in the west or in the north…”

Zhou Nan understood that the watchtower was very useful for scouting. The observation field could last for half a minute. During the time when Cannon Follower ascended to the stars, he could easily scout the entire map, he estimated that he would be able to detect the movement of Dali very soon.

Following that, Landon started to fire happily.

The Spiked Dragon Turtle had the skill Spiked Skin. Its skin was rough and its flesh was thick. When Landon fired a shot that dealt 540 damage, it could only deal 216 damage to it, which was equivalent to having 60% damage reduction. Moreover, it would automatically recover 30 hp every second, which meant that it would recover 300 hp every ten seconds. Even if Landon used all his strength to attack, the damage dealt would not be as fast as the Spiked Dragon Turtle’s hp recovery. Even if he fought for 10,000 years, he would not be able to kill it.

Zhou Nan had no intention of killing the Spiked Dragon Turtle. All he needed was a target. In addition, he was also waiting.

He was waiting for the monsters that could unlock the temple’s technology and troops to respawn.

This was a gamble! It was more or less like waiting for a rabbit to trigger his trap.

This was because there was a fixed respawn point for monsters that could be unlocked under the high ground of the watchtower. Landon’s range was 100 meters. If the monster respawned at that respawn point, with Landon’s super long range, he could attack them through the Spiked Dragon Turtle. When that happened, the Spiked Dragon Turtle would act as an obstacle that block the high ground. It would be an excellent obstacle, blocking the unlocked monster and preventing them from coming up to attack him.

Of course, there were as many as 12 fixed spawn points for unlocked monsters in the Square Temple. On the small map, from west to east, from north to south. Players numbered them as spawn points 1 to 12, below the watchtower was spawn point 8. It was hard to predict when the unlocked monsters would spawn.

Zhou Nan would not dare to play against an expert in the Square Temple. However, his opponent was Dali. He did not care.

When the Grand Sage saw this scene, he could not help but laugh. “Idiot, this is an idiot. He’s blocked by the Spiked Dragon Turtle!”

The Strongest Gangster also felt that it was strange. He asked, “What is this? He’s been shut in. He can’t come out?”

Grand Sage replied, “Of course he can’t come out! That’s the Spiked Dragon Turtle blocking the door. Previously, it gave me a fright. I thought that this Black Card Emperor had some tricks up his sleeves. I didn’t expect him to activate the watchtower. There are always some small players who thought they were smart and activated the watchtower right from the start. In the end, they all get stuck on the high ground like this. Hahaha!”

“He’s locking himself up. Interesting, really interesting.” Strongest Gangster was also amused.

Grand Sage continued, “This is a one-on-one mode. This is great. Black Card Emperor has sealed off his escape route, and he’s locked up in the highland watchtower. This game is over. The wild monsters outside are all Dali’s. As long as she leads her troops to slowly farm monsters, farm technological monsters, and produce high-level soldiers, this battle will definitely be won.”

Strongest Gangster said, “I regret it so much. Why didn’t I accept his challenge? This is a loss of 100 gold coins… Master, is there no way for him to come out?”

“He can only come out dead!”

“Come out dead?”

“Yes, he can run to the Spiked Dragon Turtle to die. This map is different from the Duel Arena. In the Duel Arena, if a player dies, he or she will be immediately removed from the game. If a player dies, he or she will be defeated. In the Square Temple, after a player dies, he or she can resurrect in the base. Only when the base’s landmark is destroyed will he or she be defeated.”

“Then, I hope this little piece of trash can lock himself up for a long time…”

The more Grand Sage and Strongest Gangster watched, the more delighted they became. Black Card Emperor actually did not commit suicide and just played with the watchtower there.

Of course, Zhou Nan would not commit suicide. He had already discovered the location of the Temple of Curse and the movements of Dali through the watchtower.

This Dali was leading the seven Night Cats and the Skeleton Soldiers to go fight wild monsters along the fifth ring road.

The Skeleton Soldiers were the beginner soldiers of the Temple of Curse, corresponding to the Forest Archers of the Temple of Tranquility.

After opening the barracks, one beginner soldier of the Temple of Curse can be trained every minute. The upper limit was 30. Among the beginner soldiers of the four temples, the Skeleton Soldiers were considered the weakest. They walked slowly, had low attacks, and their bodies were fragile.

The efficiency of using the Skeleton Soldiers along was extremely low.

Dali only knew how to clear the field along the fifth ring road. She did not know how to explore the path at all. She had already passed through the door leading to her own base.

At this moment, a regional announcement suddenly sounded. “Please pay attention. The Electric Slime has appeared. The coordinates are 124: 1278. Kill the Electric Slime, the upper limit of the temple’s beginner soldiers +20. There is also a chance to obtain a gold coin treasure chest!]

“There’s an announcement!”

Dali was shocked, “Master said to go and steal monsters after hearing the regional announcement, so I’ll go and steal them now. The 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 that it was a pity that the spawning point of the Electric Slime was not close to him. Looking at the coordinates, it should be the second spawning point in the northwest of the map.

“Let’s just wait.”

Zhou Nan was not in a hurry. He used the watchtower once a minute to scout Dali’s movements.

Another ten minutes passed, the second regional announcement sounded. “Please pay attention. The Capricorn Rat has appeared. The coordinates are 622: 478. Kill the Capricorn Rat, unlock the second branch of the temple, and have a chance to receive a card reward (card reward is limited to one time).”

Zhou Nan was shocked! “Don’t you think it’s infuriating? It’s right here, hahaha!”

622: 478 was the coordinates of the eighth spawn point below the watchtower.

Zhou Nan quickly looked down and saw that the distance between the highland and the Spiked Dragon Turtle was about 60 meters. A huge rat with a flaming horn on its head crawled out from the ground. That was the Capricorn Rat.

The Capricorn Rat only had its front legs and no hind legs. Its tail was very long and flat. The back half of its body was covered with scales. It was as big as a calf.

[Capricorn Rat: Special dungeon monster. Hp 10,000. Attack power 88-102. Attack speed: 1.5. Armor: 1. It has the ability to create fireballs. It has a good resistance to ice-type magic damage.]

“Landon, quick, go down and lure the Capricorn Mouse over to kill it!”

As soon as Zhou Nan gave the order, Cannon Follower Landon carried the gun barrel and went down the high ground. A group of Little Murlocs automatically followed behind him.

If this was a normal ranged unit, it would not be able to hit the Capricorn Mouse through the Spiked Dragon Turtle. However, Landon had a 100-meter range, so he could easily hit the Capricorn Rat.

Boom!

-509!

The shot hit the target, and a bright red damage number appeared on the Capricorn Rat’s head. It squeaked, and orange flames appeared in its eyes. It immediately locked onto Landon and quickly rushed over.

Then, it was stuck behind the Spiked Dragon Turtle’s butt.. It could not go any further!
