Bang!
-5!
The White Tiger Elite took away five points of the base's health with a single swipe of its claw.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the ground near the crystal rose up, and a huge centipede monster burst out of the ground, its sharp blades landing squarely on the crystal.
-1! -1! -1!
...
The base's health dropped rapidly under the attack of the two elite monsters.
Su Bai quickly controlled the Frost Dragon Tower to defend.
The good news is that the two elite monsters are currently grouped together and can both be hit by the Frost Dragon Tower's area-of-effect attack.
But Su Baining didn't want this good news.
After taking down these two elites, the base's health had dropped to a precarious 16 points.
"It's reached its limit."
The thought flashed through Su Bai's mind for no apparent reason.
His system has more than enough output.
This is where the Holy Tower's advantage lies.
Let alone the eighth wave, even the ninth and tenth waves of monsters can definitely be cleared with the Frost Dragon and Solar Flare.
However, their ability to respond to emergencies is somewhat lacking.
But Su Bai knew it clearly.
This is not a flaw in the Holy Tower.
Strictly speaking...
This is likely a flaw in all non-main tower systems.
Take his system as an example, all the damage towers and support towers are indispensable. If any one of them is missing, the current results will not be achieved.
Therefore, the space available for control towers is quite limited.
Including the slow effect of the Frost Wyrm.
There are only three of them.
However, this problem does not exist with a main tower system.
One main tower is enough to make up for the damage output, and the remaining slots can be arranged however you like.
Some main towers also have control features.
It can handle any number of unexpected situations.
Therefore, what limits his system is not its output capability, but rather the upper limit of a normal system.
"My choice isn't absolutely perfect, but it's not that much better. It seems that only the main tower system has a chance to achieve a higher ranking..."
Su Bai pondered to himself.
[Battle over!]
[The level of all existing defensive towers will be automatically upgraded!]
[You have 3 choices!]
[Completion rewards have been accumulated; the current total rewards are: 8 gold!]
[Next wave of monsters countdown: 4m59 seconds!]
[Obtained: Elite Treasure Box!]
...
After defeating the four elite monsters, no other elite monsters spawned in the arena.
The remaining monsters were cleared out one by one.
The eighth wave passed safely.
However, Su Bai knew in his heart that this was probably his limit.
The challenge mode differs from the regular defense mode; the difficulty of each subsequent wave doubles.
The ninth wave will definitely not be as simple as in the regular mode.
It will only be more difficult than the eighth wave.
As he pondered, he discovered that the system had given him another special treasure chest.
Open.
This time, I received a prop scroll.
[Exploration Scroll]
【Props】
[Note: This item allows you to preview the detailed attributes and weaknesses of the next wave of monsters. It can only be used in the current mode.]
This item can be saved for use in the next challenge.
...
Su Bai also obtained a similar item in the regular mode.
Keep it.
He doesn't intend to use this scroll now.
The results of the eighth wave are absolutely unmatched, and first place is practically guaranteed.
Su Bai had decided to give up.
That's all for now.
Save all your strength to prepare for next week's challenge mode.
These two items will give him a better starting point in his next challenge.
It would be safer to aim for even better results then.
With a final hope, Su Bai opened the shop that refreshed in the eighth wave.
I hope a miracle will happen.
However, the items that have been refreshed in the shop this time aren't particularly bad.
However, the improvement is limited.
It was far from having a transformative effect on him.
"Since that's the case..."
Su Bai's gaze fell upon the Frost Dragon Tower in the arena.
destroy!
In the blink of an eye.
The massive tower base was instantly shattered into countless fragments of rock.
The frost dragon let out a mournful roar, its scales bursting open, staining the sky with blood, as if a deep blue rain was falling from the sky. At the same time, a powerful energy fluctuation seemed to be brewing within its body.
Unfortunately, in the end, that energy seemed to lack some kind of catalyst.
It failed to take shape.
Awakening the Dragon Soul talent failed.
Su Bai has completely lost the qualification to challenge the ninth wave.
"...I knew it."
His lips twitched slightly.
He has always been incredibly unlucky and has almost never succeeded when trying to perform probabilistic tasks.
This was entirely expected.
No time wasted waiting.
Su Bai started the challenge ahead of schedule.
Before withdrawing, he needed to at least figure out the strength of the ninth wave of monsters so that he could be better prepared for the next wave.
The system generously granted his wish.
The moment after the attack was announced.
A fierce elite monster simultaneously burst out from one of the four teleportation portals in front, behind, to the left, and to the right.
Following closely behind.
Countless smaller monsters swarmed together like an ant colony.
Just a moment.
The base crystal at the center of the chessboard will be submerged...
Challenge failed!
Your score for this challenge is: 8 waves!
[Reward: 8 Gold Coins!]
[Note: Your challenge ranking is now at number one on the public leaderboard. Do you wish to hide your name?]
