Tang Shidao wasn't worried about his own safety when the steel dome opened and the Void Beast Army invaded. Nightmare Forest was only the second stop of the Forbidden Land. His physical strength alone exceeded the thirtieth stop. Facing an army of Void Beasts was no pressure at all. Moreover, he had the best Stamina Recovery Halo in the Forbidden Land. An army battle wasn't worth mentioning at all.
At this point …
Tang Shidao was only curious about one thing: what was the perfect strategy for the ninth level?
Evil Eye was already dead.
It couldn't witness this competition. It didn't even know how many Void Beasts had been released. How could it calculate whether the final result was perfect? The ninth level was different from the previous levels. Forging weapons, dismantling models, and breaking mechanisms could all be preset. The last round was a battle between armies. How would Evil Eye determine the outcome?
Before Tang Shidao could think about it, a group of small flying Void Beasts was the first to break in.
Seeing this beautiful underground world, the flying Void Beasts were extremely excited. It wasn't easy to find such a pure land in Nightmare Forest.
Subconsciously, they had already made up their minds to snatch it.
The leader of the Void Beasts was still excited. Soon, a spear-like arrow pierced its head, ending its joy. Before the other Void Beasts could react, a rain of arrows rained down. Hundreds of Void Beasts screamed and fell to the ground. At this time, the Void Beasts that had entered through the steel dome and were walking down the cliff were also attacked.
The castle and the arrow towers didn't differentiate between good and evil. All intruders were killed.
Tang Shidao was a little confused. There were no Spell Guards in the Forbidden Land. How could the crossbows lock onto the enemy?
Just as he took a step.
He was walking toward one of the arrow towers. In the blink of an eye, a crossbow was aimed at Tang Shidao. The giant crossbow shot out.
"It's set to only attack moving things?" Tang Shidao caught it easily.
At this time, a few more crossbow bolts came.
Tang Shidao didn't want to be entangled. He slapped it away and disappeared in an instant. The crossbow spun a few times and couldn't find the target. Then, it quickly gave up and turned to lock onto the Void Beasts that kept flying down. Tang Shidao appeared again and maintained his motionless posture. Sure enough, the crossbow spun and 'couldn't find' the target.
At this time, Tang Shidao slowly raised his arm.
The arrow tower's mechanism began to scan, but it didn't shoot.
He kept his movements slow.
Tang Shidao took a small step forward, but the mechanism still did not fire. It wasn't until Tang Shidao's movements gradually sped up until he was faster than walking that the crossbows on the arrow tower immediately poured down a rain of arrows. At this moment, the crossbow bolts of Void Beasts... Once again, the crossbow bolts of the Void Beasts. the Void Beasts of the Void.. the crossbow bolts''s's's's Beasts''s't aiming.
Maintaining this super speed, Tang Shidao quickly dismantled a door and entered a giant arrow tower.
At this time.
Tang Shidao had already calculated the result. If he was too slow or too fast, the mechanism of the arrow tower would not lock onto him. If it was too slow, the ballista would ignore it. If it was too fast, the ballista would not be able to catch it. In the Land of Forbidden Magic, Evil Eye's mechanism design was truly at the peak of perfection. Without magic energy, it could still create guard mechanisms to capture movement.
Entering the arrow tower.
Tang Shidao was filled with emotions as he looked at the arrows that were automatically wound and fired like an industrial assembly line.
There were really all kinds of monsters in the Mage Network.
In a place like the Land of Forbidden Magic, Evil Eye could be said to be the first to play with mechanisms to this extent. Most importantly, the entire arrow tower had no gaps. Even a fire bee or molten ant couldn't climb in and burn the bowstring. If he hadn't 'dismantled' it once before, he wouldn't have been able to open the door and check it out.
At this time, more and more Void Beasts fell from the steel dome.
The walls and walkways were crowded with Void Beasts.
Because of the pushing and shoving, Void Beasts fell from high places from time to time and turned into blood dregs on the ground. The mechanism conveyor belt didn't stop, and the arrows kept raining. The Void Beasts, who were determined to take over the underground world, didn't retreat. Although this was a battle of steel and flesh, the Void Beast Army wasn't necessarily at a disadvantage.
There were too many of them, and they could win with numbers.
Soon.
The first batch of Void Beasts ran through the walkways and rushed to the ground. They didn't hesitate and immediately attacked the castle and arrow towers. Steel arrows rained down, and crossbow bolts were like spears. This kind of steel storm couldn't stop the Void Beasts. Some of the thick-scaled Void Beasts rushed a long distance through the rain of arrows, protecting their allies as they attacked the arrow towers.
The metal layer of the arrow towers was very strong, but unfortunately, it couldn't stop the claws and teeth of the Void Beasts.
Soon, a few arrow towers were destroyed.
The Void Beasts crawled to the castle, and many of them were also killed by the crossbow bolts. Victory was in sight, and they couldn't care less about sacrifice. Climbing the castle, Tang Shidao, who was watching from the arrow tower in the distance, shook his head and smiled. He had dismantled the model of the small kingdom before and clearly remembered that there were hidden blade wheels on the walls of the castle. As long as a certain mechanism was triggered, the blade wheels would cut the climber in half.
Sure enough, when the Void Beasts climbed high, the blade wheels in the castle walls would immediately pop out to reap their lives.
Blood splattered, and flesh scattered.
In this battle of blood and steel, no one stopped, and no one retreated. By the time the second and third waves of Void Beasts reached the ground, the castle and arrow towers were gradually at a disadvantage. Even if they were made of flesh and blood, numbers could overwhelm everything. Some Void Beasts lifted the corpses, or bit open the shells of the corpses to use as shields, braving the rain of arrows to attack. Soon, more than half of the arrow towers were destroyed.
However.
The rhythm of war was always in the hands of those who had planned it beforehand.
More than twenty-five of the fifty arrow towers were destroyed. Immediately, there was a series of rumbling sounds, and twenty-five more arrow towers rose in other positions in the blink of an eye. In the same way, when the watchtowers fell, they would slowly sink and fall into the steel pool deep underground. With a series of mechanical sounds, a new watchtower rose.
Tang Shidao hadn't seen the castle fall yet, and he believed that the same thing had happened.
The entire underground world was like a huge machine, and it could change its parts at any time.
As more and more Void Beasts appeared, the arrow towers that could "regenerate" were gradually unable to hold on. Numbers overwhelmed everything. When the Void Beasts poured down like a tide, it was only a matter of time before the castle fell. Tang Shidao thought hard about the meaning of Evil Eye's actions. This was the ninth checkpoint, and it was also a war. What was the point of putting the contestants into a war?
There were more and more Void Beasts. How could they win?
While he was thinking.
At this time, the Void Beasts had already reached the arrow tower where Tang Shidao was. Piling up flesh and blood, the Void Beasts quickly rushed to the arrow tower and tried to dismantle this deadly weapon. Tang Shidao watched quietly from the top and found that there were many types of Void Beasts. Apes, wolves, bears, lizards, insects, and birds. They were usually enemies, but now, in order to seize territory, they didn't hesitate to work together to destroy the mechanism.
Soon, the arrow tower was dismantled.
Seeing that there was another person on the inside, the Void Beasts were also very strange. At this time, they didn't hesitate. It didn't matter whether he was friend or foe, they would kill him first.
The group of Void Beasts pounced.
Tang Shidao disappeared, and dozens of Void Beasts' heads exploded in an instant. Because they moved so quickly, it seemed that they died almost at the same time. This result shocked the Void Beasts. When they saw Tang Shidao standing still, they couldn't help but take three steps back subconsciously. At this time, an even larger Void Beast roared and ordered. Hearing this, the Void Beasts suppressed their fear and rushed forward again.
"Hehe." Hearing the leader's order, Tang Shidao suddenly laughed … This was the answer!
If you didn't participate in it yourself, you would never understand.
Once you were on the battlefield, you would soon know what determined the outcome of the battle was.
Tang Shidao ignored the Void Beasts.
He rushed forward like a cannonball, smashing through countless Void Beasts and directly smashing the leader whose defense had failed. At this time, the surrounding Void Beasts were obviously stunned, as if they didn't know what to do. It wasn't until the leaders of the other teams shouted that they seemed to have found their backbone and fled to join the other teams.
They knew that 'killing' was the only way to win.
However, Tang Shidao didn't look for the leaders of the other teams to kill one by one, because this was the worst plan.
The best plan was to check the defense mechanism and see if he could change the priority of the target. If he could attack the leader first, this battle would be much easier.
Stepping on the back of the Void Beast, Tang Shidao quickly jumped into the castle.
Although he could fly now, he didn't want to fly too high and become a target for the giant crossbows. There would be no damage, and it wouldn't be good to waste the crossbow bolts.
He entered the castle.
Surprisingly, this was also a mechanical domain that was so tight that even ants couldn't crawl in. Tang Shidao carefully dismantled a passage and closed it intact. Entering the main control room in his memory, Tang Shidao quickly found the mechanism to set the attack.
It was a pity.
Machines were machines. There was no magic, no science, and it wasn't smart enough to know how to attack the leader first.
It only had the most basic setting: attack objects that moved faster than a certain speed! It didn't matter if it was alive or dead, as long as it was faster than walking and slower than flying crossbow bolts, these mechanisms would automatically attack.
"There really is a manual way." Tang Shidao looked for a while and smiled when he saw that there was a manual firing mechanism … Evil Eye would never block the way.
As long as you were capable enough, you would definitely find a way to survive.
Tang Shidao released dozens of black spiders made of solid flames and took over a third of the giant ballistae, aiming at the leader of the Void Beast Army. Then, he opened the basement of the castle. As expected, Evil Eye had prepared an escape route. Even if there was only one person in the competition, you could still keep moving from castle to castle and use the mechanisms in each city to snipe the leader.
In less than ten minutes.
Tang Shidao didn't kill a single beast. Instead, he used the black spiders to take over a large number of ballistae and shot down dozens of Void Beast leaders. Of course, the Void Beasts weren't stupid. Once their leader was dead, they quickly chose a new and strongest leader.
Even so, fear inevitably spread.
Smart mechanism.
Knowing how to snipe the leader … No matter how fierce and brainless the Void Beasts were, they knew that something was wrong.
Once the leaders retreated, the Void Beast Army would naturally fall into chaos.
Tang Shidao came to a sudden realization when he saw the beast army falling into disarray.
This wasn't a war.
This was a harvest.
Void Beasts had lived in the underground world for a long time, and it was already close to the level of a primitive society. Now that the war had begun, they couldn't possibly be indifferent. Looking at the hole in the steel dome, Tang Shidao knew what victory was … closing the hole!
At this point.
Tang Shidao immediately set off and flew toward one of the holes in the dome. There was a prerequisite difficulty when dismantling the small kingdom: time limit. Once the time limit was exceeded, the model of the small kingdom would collapse on its own, and the mission would fail. It was the same now. The hole would definitely close on its own to ensure that the underground world would not be invaded. However, closing on its own also meant that the contestant had failed.
To complete the mission perfectly, he had to close it himself, and close it all before the time limit was exceeded.
"A dead man can still calculate to this extent. Not bad. Now I'm really interested to see what you've left behind." Tang Shidao flew to the dome, kicked away some of the Void Beasts in the way, and pressed the mechanism to close the hole.
The harvest battle was about to begin.
At the same time.
When the first hole closed, in the central hall of the earth's core, a group of old humanoid Void Beasts in armor raised their heads and looked at the giant bell ringing above.
Whispering to each other, they slowly opened a door that had been sealed for a long time.
As if.
