The monsters continued to increase, filling the sight like a sea of monstrous waves.
Defensive towers within the territory unleashed wave after wave of attacks, each creating a zone of vacuum that was quickly filled by the surging monsters.
The [Ice Tower] began to condense a dense energy, which erupted into the sky, transforming into a dense icy rain. It descended like the onset of winter, a barrage of ice and snow arrows.
Each droplet of ice and snow was an incredibly sharp blade, falling from the heavens, accompanied by the sound of blades piercing the air. They then viciously pierced the bodies of the monsters.
Swarms of monsters were impaled, frozen, and killed by the icy rain.
The Ice Tower not only effectively eliminated monsters but also slowed down nearby enemies, greatly hindering their offensive speed.
This wave of attacks from the [Ice Tower] took away thousands upon thousands of monsters, clearing out most of the creatures in front.
Following this, the [Blade Tower] unleashed a torrent of sword energy, a crisscrossing storm of blades that reduced the monsters to bloody messes.
With the cooperation of these two defensive towers, the monsters were quickly annihilated.
The territory was now under attack from all sides, with two defensive towers placed on each face. Coupled with numerous hero soldiers, it was difficult for the monsters to inflict substantial damage.
Furthermore, the defense value of the [Great Wall] was extremely high. With the monsters' one to two-meter bodies, they were simply incapable of damaging a structure like the [Great Wall].
As noon approached, the soldiers began to divide into two shifts: half resting and eating, the other half continuing to fight.
Most of them were at level twenty, with only a small portion still at level ten. After today, they would all be able to reach level twenty.
This battle continued until five in the afternoon before a Bronze-tier monster appeared.
It was worth mentioning that Bronze-tier monsters had appeared quite a few times already. Each time, they had dropped valuable items, such as three-star core crystals and Silver treasure chests.
The Silver treasure chests yielded equipment, all of which he had reserved for the territory's heroes.
Although he greatly desired defensive towers and similar structures, the rewards were random. The chatroom was also full of lords looking to acquire buildings, clearly indicating a current shortage of structures, especially defensive towers.
His defensive towers were undoubtedly the most numerous in the entire newcomer trial. Others were fortunate to have at most two or three.
However, his territory was different from others; other lords' territories did not experience such monstrous tidal waves.
He looked at the Bronze-tier monster.
This Bronze monster was a giant spider, as large as a truck, accompanied by thousands of elite spider monsters. Their antennae resembled cold iron, gleaming with terrifying sharpness.
[Monster: Demonic Spider]
[Quality: Mutated - Bronze]
[Level: 15]
[Special: Spit Acid, Venom]
[Description: Legend says it is a monster awakened from the demonic world, devouring all beings it encounters.]
This was a mutated Bronze-tier monster, significantly more powerful than previous ones.
Despite its enormous size, it was not slow. Its eight cold, gleaming legs moved with the speed of car tires, charging towards the territory.
The [Ice Tower] unleashed a wave of ice shards, targeting these demonic spiders.
Spiders below elite tier struggled to withstand the attacks. Their bodies were pierced by the Ice Tower, turning them into ice sculptures.
However, the mutated Bronze Demonic Spider proved to be formidable. It raised its forelimbs, shattering the incoming ice shards, and charged unimpeded out of the [Ice Tower]'s attack range.
"Impressive."
This was likely the strongest monster he had encountered since the start of the newcomer trial.
He leaped lightly, drifting towards the city wall.
Grasping his sword with both hands, he circulated the 《Yin-Yang Creation Art》 within him. A vast amount of Yin-Yang power flowed out, and the sword in his hand erupted with a Yin-Yang radiance.
He then performed the Kaiyang Sword from the [Seven Star Sword Technique]. With a sky-splitting slash, he struck at the mutated Bronze Demonic Spider.
A terrifying energy fluctuation flashed rapidly through the air, transforming into a crescent-shaped sword light that fiercely struck the monster's body.
It attempted to block the sword energy with its antennae, but the terrifying power directly severed its antennae and split its body in two. Carried by a storm of sword energy, it charged forward over a dozen meters before finally exploding with a sonic boom.
Dust billowed, and a trench tens of meters long cut across the ground.
The S-quality sword technique, combined with the 《Yin-Yang Creation Art》, unleashed incredibly formidable power when executed together.
Several items dropped from the monster.
A Silver treasure chest, a black core crystal, and surprisingly, a building treasure chest.
"Finally, another building treasure chest."
He stepped forward and first picked up these items.
[Item acquired: Silver Treasure Chest x1.]
[Item acquired: Two-star Dark Crystal x1.]
[Item acquired: Random Defensive Tower Building x1.]
After defeating the boss, the wave of monsters ceased once more, and the battle was soon to be concluded.
He returned to the territory and opened the building treasure chest.
Territory notification: "Acquired [Laser Tower]."
"A [Laser Tower]." Zhou Yan was somewhat surprised. This was a type of high-energy tower, even more powerful than elemental towers.
This was likely a form of modern technological weapon, capable of unleashing immense destructive power. He had never expected to acquire such a defensive tower.
He began the construction, eager to see what this defensive tower would transform into.
Territory notification: "Constructing [Laser Tower], [Laser Tower] evolves into [High-Energy Gatling Tower]."
A modern super turret immediately appeared within the [Great Wall], emitting a peculiar glow.
He quickly opened the attributes of this defensive tower, greatly surprised. It turned out to be an R-quality defensive tower. He immediately began upgrading the [High-Energy Gatling Tower].
Territory notification: "Consumed 500 Spirit Coins, [High-Energy Gatling Tower] level increased to 2."
Territory notification: "Consumed 600 Spirit Coins, [High-Energy Gatling Tower] level increased to 3."
Territory notification: "Consumed 700 Spirit Coins, [High-Energy Gatling Tower] level increased to 4."
