A cold wind is blowing.
A huge snowball appeared first inside the portal.
Behind the snowball was a frost-blue monster that looked like a dung beetle, pushing the snowball forward slowly, just like it was pushing a dung ball.
[Frost Cod: Common, Level 2, Health: 150/150, Special: After the Frost Cod and its snowball break through the defense, they will each deal 1 point of damage to the base crystal.]
...
Monsters are pouring out in droves.
Furthermore, the Frost Cub has a unique characteristic: when it pushes a snowball along a straight path, its speed increases.
Solar flares!
Double attack!
When the first monster appeared, Su Bai immediately controlled the solar flare and launched an attack.
Instantly.
A huge, blazing fireball plummeted from the sky.
Boom!!
The fireball struck the road, instantly transforming into raging flames that melted the snowball and engulfed the first few Frostball Insects that emerged.
-160!
-160!
-160!
...
The solar flare, with its double energy consumption, is enough to instantly wipe out the second wave of monsters.
After the flames dissipated.
The residual heat and high temperature scorched all three floorboards, making them glow red-hot.
But the frost worms behind pushed the snowball across the floor, and the ice and snow immediately reacted violently with the high temperature, causing a large amount of water vapor to rise up.
Pfft!
-80! -80! -80!
...
Several damage numbers appeared in the thick fog.
Then, the flare area, which could have lasted for 6 seconds, was dissolved by the ice and snow and returned to normal in just three seconds.
"It's really unlucky; we just happened to run into ice-type monsters in the second wave."
Su Bai shook his head.
The most powerful aspect of the Solar Flare turret lies in its follow-up damage.
An attack that consumes double the resources can create a flare area that lasts for 6 seconds.
It deals 80 damage per second at level 1.
The solar flare can consume up to 40 energy points and unleash four times the power! Not only will the flare area be extended to 12 seconds, but the continuous damage will also be quadrupled!
That's enough to seal off one of the monster's exit points.
However, this time, they encountered an ice-attribute monster that they were at a disadvantage against.
It has to be said that it was just bad luck.
A single solar flare only killed five Frost Coccidia, half the result Su Bai had anticipated.
The Holy Arrow followed up with its attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One after another, pale golden energy arrows struck the monster, and at this moment, another advantage of the Frostball Worm became apparent.
The snowball it pushes can actually withstand an attack for its own body.
A level 3 Holy Arrow deals 60 damage.
Therefore, it would take four attacks to kill a Frostball.
The upgraded Holy Arrow did not increase the monster-killing efficiency.
It's even slower now!
But this wave of monsters is twice as many as the last one.
Forty!
"Is this the level of combat that others usually face...?"
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
No rush.
There's still a chance to fight.
Seven or eight Frost Cockroaches had already been killed at the start of the battle.
There were still more than thirty frost worms surging out. Su Bai seized the opportunity and threw another ball of fire meteor at the spot where the frost worms were most concentrated.
Boom!!
The blooming flames instantly engulfed an area.
Including the subsequent burning.
This time, a single attack successfully eliminated eight Frostballs, and Holy Arrow also took down two monsters with a series of shots.
A piercing arrow!
Whoosh!
A golden light suddenly streaked across the entire battlefield, and wherever it passed, the snowballs in front of the Frostball Worms shattered instantly.
-60, -60, -60...
Before this strike, the Holy Arrow's energy value had already exceeded 50 points.
However, Su Bai did not choose to double his attack.
The purpose of the Piercing Arrow is simply to break the snowball in front of the monster, allowing the Holy Arrow to directly attack them, saving the time of dealing damage.
Even if the power were doubled...
That's only 120 points of damage.
I still can't kill any of the monsters instantly.
Because the route is winding, one Piercing Arrow cannot hit all monsters. Therefore, saving your energy and firing two Piercing Arrows will have a greater effect.
"The solar flare can be used one more time..."
Su Bai silently calculated in his mind.
The solar flare's energy limit is only 50 points. He used double attack twice, consuming 40 points of energy.
As time goes by.
The energy level has been restored to 20 points.
However, given the speed of these monsters, he might not be able to wait another 20 seconds.
The drawbacks of the Holy Tower then became apparent.
To launch an effective attack, you must rely on energy. In the early stages, without establishing a systematic support mana regeneration tower, combat efficiency is very limited.
His move was due to the unique nature of the Sacred Tower caused by the solar flare.
It can regenerate mana during rest.
There was a small bug.
Otherwise, if Sun Flare were to play with empty blue, he simply wouldn't know how to get through this wave.
"The final attack must achieve maximum effectiveness."
Su Bai kept his eyes fixed on the battlefield.
On the other side, the Holy Arrow, uncontrolled, launched a free attack, killing the Frostballs that had lost the protection of the Snowball.
One, two, three...
There were still fifteen monsters left in the field.
