Chapter 026 The Strongest Single-Target Control Tower
Li Hanqiang remained logged in the Bibo Pool for two hours before returning to the front lines.
At this point, the forest wolves had stopped spawning in the spacetime wormhole, but there were still a few dozen forest wolves left in the war corridor, and it seemed that this wave of monster siege was about to end.
"This is the moment we've been waiting for!" Li Hanqiang stepped into the air, took out a special monster summoning token and used it directly. Then he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, listen up! The BOSS is coming! Whoever kills it will make a fortune!"
As soon as the shout fell, a colossal creature emerged from the spacetime wormhole.
[Bullhorned Wolf (BOSS), Level 10, 5000 HP, moves 5 meters per second, can steal 20 Chaos Energy from the Heart of Chaos.]
The horned wolf was exhaling white steam from its nostrils. Even with its four hooves on the ground, it was four meters tall. It had long black fur, bloodshot eyes, and claws like overturned excavator buckets. Two long, jet-black horns grew on its head. The horns resembled bull horns, were extremely sharp, and were estimated to be nearly two meters long.
As soon as it appeared, it let out a strange, arrogant moo, the sound like muffled thunder.
Everyone gasped in shock.
A BOSS has really appeared! And this horned wolf is different from the old black pig and the iron-skinned pig king. It is a BOSS recognized by the system. Its attribute information clearly states that it is only level 10, but it has a whopping 5000 health points.
The two men, one fanning and the other lighting, looked up but didn't say anything. Even when they jumped, they couldn't hit the horned wolf's waist. How could they deal with such a monster?
"Don't just stand there, start attacking!" Li Hanqiang shouted quickly.
"I can't hit it!"
The two men waved their hands repeatedly, trying to fan the flames. The horned wolf stood in the very middle of the war corridor, not at the edge, so they couldn't reach it at all.
The bull-horned wolf, however, showed no mercy, completely ignoring the Flame Tower's 30 points of damage per second, and strode forward like a heavy tank. Li Hanqiang could almost feel the ground shaking.
"Oh no, was I lucky or unlucky? What kind of summoning token did I use?!"
Li Hanqiang was in a state of panic. He could already foresee the outcome. With just a mutated sword tower, even with the addition of Dark Night Redemption and others, how could they possibly defeat this 5,000-HP bull-horned wolf?
Just as Li Hanqiang was feeling desperate, the horned wolf stepped on the beast hunter, and a jaws-like clamp, resembling a crocodile's mouth, suddenly emerged from the ground, snapping into one of the horned wolf's front paws. Immediately afterward, a strange, gurgling laugh rang out, and a large net appeared out of thin air, swooping down on the horned wolf. A humanoid phantom was seen riding on the horned wolf's neck, punching and kicking its head.
"-30", "-30"...
The damage numbers immediately appeared above the bull-horned wolf's head.
"Ding! The level 2 bear trap has successfully captured a horned wolf. This monster is a level 10 boss and will break free of the bear trap in a few moments!"
"Beast Catcher!" Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. At a glance, he saw that Beast Catcher had already reached LV2, with an experience of 20/200. The attribute information showed that the damage per second had increased to 30 points!
In this situation, the Beast Hunter, combined with the Flame Tower, can easily reduce the Horned Wolf's health by 60 points per second.
"Well done, Beast Catcher! Keep it up!" Li Hanqiang shouted, wishing he could move the mutated sword tower to the side.
The damage of 60 points per second was quite considerable. The health bar on the bull-horned wolf's head dropped bit by bit. But it was a BOSS after all. It only took 20 seconds to break free from the beast hunter's restraints. It fiercely kicked away the alligator traps, tore apart the large net on its back, and flipped the figure above its head away. With a haughty moo, it continued to stride forward.
However, those 20 seconds were already quite impressive, dealing an extra 1200 damage to the Horned Wolf. By the time the Horned Wolf left the range of the Flame Tower's firepower, it only had 3200 health points left.
"We've got it! We've got it! The Beast Tamer is practically the strongest single-target control tower! A horned wolf with 3200 HP can be killed by the mutated sword tower in just 40 seconds—perfect!" Li Hanqiang felt reassured and burst into laughter, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Everything is under my control! Brothers, keep your spirits up and kill this horned wolf!"
"Who's your brother?"
"Don't try to get too friendly!"
"We can't hit them even if we wanted to!"
"Second batch..."
A group of melee knights cursed inwardly, but could only stare helplessly at the horned wolf that was walking in the middle.
Soon, the horned wolf entered the firing range of the mutated sword tower. Streams of sword energy slashed straight at it, clanging and clanging, causing damage numbers to continuously appear above the horned wolf's head, all of them "-80"!
Li Hanqiang liked this kind of defensive tower. It dealt true damage, without fluctuations, and was stable and reliable. It completely ignored physical defense or magic resistance. If it were a basic arrow tower, it would probably only be able to deal ten points of damage to the Bull Horned Wolf.
The Horned Wolf's health dropped rapidly. Soon after, Night Redemption also began to attack. The Dark Arrow was quite powerful, dealing about 15 points of damage to the Horned Wolf.
Finally, the horned wolf fell to the ground, its range from exiting the mutated sword tower estimated to be only about twenty meters.
A treasure chest fell next to the bull-horned wolf. Li Hanqiang ran over, opened it with a smile, but there was only one item inside.
[Lucky Gem: Special item, bound. Use greatly increases the chance of obtaining rare items in the rewards for defending Chaos City #68 (effect limited to one use). The item disappears after use.]
"Such a powerful BOSS, and he only gave me this one gem?" Li Hanqiang was a little dissatisfied, but thinking back, he was already lucky to have defeated the Bull Horned Wolf, and he should be content.
At this moment, the regional announcement also sounded, announcing the end of the fourth wave of monster siege. Li Hanqiang once again received the evaluation of perfect city defense, and obtained four Chaos Stone Tablets and a small money bag.
The experience gained from defending the city was also distributed, and everyone was glowing with a white light indicating they were leveling up. Dark Night Redemption leveled up to an exaggerated 18, and Li Hanqiang leveled up to 10.
However, as soon as the defense ended, apart from Dark Night Redemption, Fan Knight, and Ignition Sword Saint, the other seven knight players ran away immediately.
"Why are you running away?" Li Hanqiang was a little annoyed. He was planning to develop these players into drug dealers with big business, but he didn't even have a chance to speak up.
Dark Night Redemption walked over and said, "I'm leaving. I'm not taking on any more city defense missions for now. I need to go run some small dungeons and complete some quests. My gear is too trash, I can't keep up. See you later!"
"See you later. I've still saved the Flame Orb for you; don't forget to get the Chaos City Lord's exclusive item to exchange for it!"
Li Hanqiang sighed inwardly. He realized that with Dark Night Redemption's current level, killing siege monsters that were more than five levels lower than him would only yield a small amount of experience, making it somewhat unprofitable to participate in the city defense mission.
If he were Dark Night Redemption, he wouldn't be grinding city defense quests anymore; he would definitely be wandering around, and his leveling speed might even be faster than defending the city.
No sooner had Dark Night Redemption left than the two who were stirring up trouble came over to demand their share of the profits.
"Let me tell you, the other Chaos City Lords all get gold coins for successfully defending their cities. Compared to them, you're being a bit stingy," said the Fan Knight. "At least give each of us one gold coin so we can buy potions and repair our equipment."
The Ignition Sword Saint said, "If you're a brother, then I'll give you gold coins."
"If we're brothers, don't mention gold coins." What Li Hanqiang needed most right now was gold coins, so why would he share them with these two idiots?
With the "Tower Transformation" talent, which is so wasteful, no amount of gold coins will be enough.
Li Hanqiang used his old tricks to sell big deals again, and Fan Wind Knight and Ignition Sword Saint were very tempted, so they turned around and became drug dealers.
