Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 53 Trash, Get the hell out of here!

"What's going on?"

Lei Chi was a little confused?

I just joined the guild, and someone is already launching an invasion?

Did Hua Tianbao already know this, which is why he recruited himself and Lin Donglei to be his henchmen?

Are you saying that your few cats and dogs are so easily beaten?

Lin Donglei looked surprised and asked Hua Tianbao, "Brother Bao, what's going on? Has someone launched an invasion?"

"That's right!" Hua Tianbao exclaimed. "That bastard Zhang Daode knew I was recruiting people today, so he deliberately came to cause trouble. Don't panic, I, Taduo, am not afraid of him. Just stay here, everything will be fine!"

"So you're hiding here?"

"Are you really alright?"

Lin Donglei and the others were still a little nervous.

Lei Chi thought to himself that "Zhang Daode" must be Hua Tianbao's enemy.

The rival of a big shot must also be a big shot.

A thought suddenly struck him.

There's a very famous mechanical tower player in the world of Tata, I think his name is "Zhang Daode". Could it be the same "Zhang Daode"?

Standing beside the Thunder Pool, Yang Taiyang had obviously heard of "Zhang Daode" as well. He asked Hua Tianbao, "Brother Bao, the name Zhang Daode sounds familiar. Could he be that guy who used the mechanical tower to shoot down the fire-breathing red dragon?"

"That's the bastard!" Hua Tianbao said. "This guy has been at odds with me ever since I beat him on the wealth rankings. He relies on his giant lizard mount to invade every few days. But don't worry, I, Tado..."

"I remember now, Zhang Daode is probably the strongest mechanical tower player right now!" Yang Taiyang said. "Brother Bao, how come you're his rival? He's a top-tier player."

"Bullshit, you guys shouldn't boost others' morale and diminish your own. I, Brother Bao, am a member of the Tata World Hall of Fame. That bastard Zhang Daode is no match for me."

Upon hearing this, Lei Chi's heart stirred.

Hua Tianbao has been inducted into the Tata World Hall of Fame?

He couldn't help but think of the mysterious BOSS in his own challenge hall, whose description was "from the Tata World Hall of Fame".

Lei Chi then asked Hua Tianbao, "Brother Bao, what is the Tata World Hall of Fame?"

Hua Tianbao said, "You guys are low level and don't know yet. After defeating the 20th wave of monster invasion, you can check the leaderboards. There are wealth leaderboards, defense index leaderboards, and guild leaderboards. If you can stay in the top three of any leaderboard for three consecutive months, you will be eligible to enter the Tata World Hall of Fame. Hehe, this is a symbol of honor and a game achievement. Look, there is a Fountain of Life in the camp square outside. That's the reward I got after entering the Hall of Fame."

"So, everyone in the Hall of Fame is a player?" Lei Chi rubbed his chin, wondering if the mysterious BOSS, since it came from the Hall of Fame of the Tata World, was created based on players? If so, it would definitely be easier to defeat than the level six [Beast King].

Lin Donglei and the others were drawn to Hua Tianbao's description of the Fountain of Life and began asking him about its attributes.

Hua Tianbao said, "Don't you know the Fountain of Life? It's a pool, a fountain, a stone platform, nicknamed the Blood Pool. From now on, when you follow me and face foreign invasions, you'll be fighting them with your back to the Blood Pool. It'll be awesome..."

At this point, Hua Tianbao slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot, times have changed! I just acquired an iron-rimmed bow; I can finally have a go at Zhang Daode!"

After saying that, Hua Tianbao rushed out of the gang hall, with Lei Chi and the others following behind.

Upon exiting the War Hall, Lei Chi saw a fountain pool in the center of the camp square, with a small rainbow over the pool.

That was indeed the Fountain of Life; within fifty meters of it, health points could be restored by 1% per second!

Once you pass the Fountain of Life, you'll see the warship that Hua Tianbao stole from Lei Chi's secret camp.

Further ahead lies the [War Corridor].

Lei Chi curiously examined the War Corridor, his expression gradually turning strange.

"This is fucking..."

He was speechless because he saw rows of giant rubber ducks and giant white pigeons, placed side by side, spaced apart, very neat and symmetrical. At a glance, he estimated there were three or four hundred of them.

Apart from the Giant Rubber Duck and the Giant White Dove, there are no other defensive towers in this War Corridor.

"Isn't this a really extravagant way to play?"

Lei Chi could roughly guess Hua Tianbao's strategy. He must have bought a large number of Tier 1 defense tower construction blueprints, specifically to collect [Little Yellow Duck] and [Little White Dove]. He would use the blueprints as soon as they appeared, and then use gems to upgrade them. If he didn't get the blueprints, he would continue to buy them until he had accumulated three or four hundred of them.

"How much money will this cost!"

Lei Chi is truly impressed; the world of the super-rich is just that capricious.

Imagine a "War Corridor" like this, with both sides filled with giant shotguns that spew both fire and icy air—a stark contrast of fire and ice, making monster hunting incredibly comfortable.

At this very moment, in the front section of the war corridor, ten meters above the ground, a giant red dragon was slowly flying in!

It was a real magical dragon with broad wings, a body length of over ten meters, strong hooves, scales that looked like polished rubies, two straight and sharp horns on its head, and vertical pupils in its eyes.

Below it, the giant rubber duck, the giant white dove, and others looked up at it, paying their respects without spitting fire or cold air, because the giant dragon was beyond their range.

On top of that giant dragon's head stood a player, dressed in silver armor, riding a fire-breathing red dragon, hovering in mid-air, neither moving forward nor backward, as if deliberately showing off.

"A fire-breathing red dragon! It's a fire-breathing red dragon! It really is Zhang Daode!"

Yang Taiyang exclaimed in surprise.

About three months ago, when Lei Chi hadn't saved enough money to buy a game console, a large-scale event appeared in Tata World. Lei Chi had only briefly seen the introduction online; it seemed that a giant dragon had appeared, and players needed to unite to defend it or something.

Lei Chi doesn't remember the specific details, but it seems that the event ended with Zhang Daode shooting down the fire-breathing red dragon. As the player who defeated the final boss, Zhang Daode received a dragon mount as a reward, thus becoming a dragon knight and being envied by countless players.

Dragons are far more powerful than slimes, skeletons, goblins, and the like; their very appearance exudes an aura of power.

Without a doubt, the one sitting on the back of that giant dragon was Zhang Daode.

However, it is said that his fire-breathing red dragon is just a mount and does not have any combat power. To put it bluntly, it is essentially the same as the Beast brand bicycle, war dragon boat, etc.

Of course, being a dragon rider is much cooler than riding a bicycle.

Hua Tianbao opened his storage backpack, took out an iron-rimmed bow and a quiver of long arrows, and waited at the end of the [War Corridor]. When the fire-breathing red dragon approached, he nocked an arrow and drew the bow, attacking Zhang Daode on top of the dragon's head while shouting, "You little brat, come down here!"

Standing atop the fire-breathing red dragon's head, Zhang Daode also possessed an iron-rimmed bow. He exchanged arrows with Hua Tianbao, shouting, "Come up here!"

"Come down here if you dare!"

"Come up here if you dare!"

"You came here to invade? Come on, get down here and fight me to the death!"

"I can come and go as I please, I can do whatever I want, what can you do about it?"

"Come down here if you dare!"

"Come up here if you dare..."

The two bigwigs simply exchanged words across the distance, without any technical sophistication whatsoever.

As for the iron-rimmed bows in their hands, they seemed to be exactly the same, and it was unknown what their specific attributes were. Anyway, the two of them shot at each other, and each of them only lost a little blood after being hit by an arrow.

The fire-breathing red dragon did breathe fire downwards from time to time, with flames reaching twenty or thirty meters away. It looked terrifying, but that was just a special lighting effect and didn't cause any actual damage.

The two big shots exchanged shots and insults for over five minutes before stopping simultaneously, each taking a dose of medication, and then wanting to continue.

Lei Chi and Lin Donglei looked on, speechless.

"This is a war between big shots!"

"That's fucking exciting!"

"A super-magical, epic battle!"

"Why don't you all take a bet and see who wins!"

Lin Donglei and the other three began to talk in hushed tones.

Lei Chi suddenly said, "Hey, four elders, a formidable enemy has invaded! Are you just here to watch the show? What kind of mentality is that?"

He then approached Hua Tianbao and said, "Chief, this boy is mine!"

"Huh?" Hua Tianbao was taken aback.

Lei Chi continued, "Boss, give me a Wild Gem, and I'll take care of him!"

"The Wild Gem?" Hua Tianbao asked. "How are you going to deal with it?"

As they were talking, Hua Tianbao had already taken out his treasure chest. Despite Zhang Daode's attack, he took out a [Wild Gem] from it and honestly handed it to Lei Chi.

Lei Chi took the Wild Gem and said to Hua Tianbao with a serious expression, "Brother Bao, and everyone else, step back immediately, I'm about to lose my temper!"

After saying that, he used the [Beast Possession] skill, selected [Bloodthirsty Porcupine] to possess, and instantly transformed into a tall pig-headed warrior. He immediately activated [Bloodthirst] and then began to frantically shoot out spiky bristles from his back to attack Zhang Daode.

At the same time, Lei Chi wanted to yell at Zhang Daode: "Trash, get the hell out of here! If you've got the guts, come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully our guild leader? My player ID is Q523131241, come and try to infiltrate us, I'll kill you!"
