Chapter 376 Defending the Tower
After Meng Qingyin sent this message, the group fell silent.
A while later, Chen Leying sent a message: "Do you want to find out exactly which NPCs are attacking the tower?"
Mengmeng: "Hmm, the impact of NPCs farming towers on us is unclear, and we can't just ignore it. Besides, I always feel that Mingqing and that missing three-pointed sword have some connection."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "But we have no idea which floor the NPC team has reached. Even if we did, we probably couldn't catch up with them, let alone find out who they are."
Mengmeng: "That's not difficult. We can just wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."
Drinking strong liquor to drown my sorrows: "Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump? How can I do that?"
Mengmeng: "We'll be guarding the entrance to the Magic Tower. If that NPC team wants to enter the tower, they'll inevitably appear at the entrance. They're also easy to distinguish from the players; those without any information are NPCs. What we need to do is take turns guarding the entrance to the Magic Tower, and we'll encounter them sooner or later."
I'm a lucky player (poor guy version): "Should we still grind the tower?"
Mengmeng: "Of course we'll do it. There are eight of us in our group, so we can easily handle both farming and guarding the tower, it's just that it might be a little tiring."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Five people are farming the tower, and three are on guard duty, so it won't be too tiring. Besides, we're only on guard duty during the day, so we shouldn't have to at night, right?"
Mengmeng: "Not at night..."
Night demons appear at night, and NPC teams are wary of them, so they probably won't risk going to the tower at night.
Therefore, they only need to guard the daytime.
I'm Unlucky: "Then I'll go defend the tower. The five of you have developed a good understanding of how to farm the tower, so let's not change members easily."
The elderly man said, "Yes, I'll go guard the tower too."
Zhang Yan: "Uh... I've been a bit busy lately, so I probably won't be able to guard the tower. Thank you both for your help."
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "What are you busy with? I think you're just busy doing nothing."
Zhang Yan: "If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
I'm a lucky winner (poor guy version): "Hehe, then I wish you success."
He already knew that Zhang Yan was busy fawning over Li Er and his ilk.
He was just waiting to see this guy make a fool of himself.
Zhang Yan: "Hehe."
Zhang Yan: "How about I call Zhao Lan over and have her replace me? That way she won't be running around the convoy all day long, she's practically turned into a maid."
I'm unlucky: "There's no need to trouble others, right? It's alright for just the old man and me, one of us guarding the morning and the other the afternoon."
The elderly man said, "Yes, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Fei and I are fine, no need for all that trouble."
Zhang Yan: "It's not troublesome at all! Leave this to me."
After their attempts to persuade him failed, the two gave up.
Zhang Yan actually called Zhao Lan over, and the three of them discussed it and decided that each of them would only need to guard for 3 hours, which was indeed much easier than having two people.
The elderly man said, "Then I'll trouble you, Xiao Zhao."
Zhao Lan: "It's no trouble at all, Zhang Yan paid for it."
Actually, she didn't intend to ask for money at first. Mengmeng gave her a jade pendant from the car fleet as a way of repaying her favor.
But Zhang Yan insisted on giving her the money, and she couldn't refuse him, so she accepted it.
With the tower defense issue resolved, Meng Qingyin began to consider strategies for dealing with the demonized earth tortoise.
The five of them still have bruises on their bodies, so Chen Leying made a blood-activating and bruise-removing ointment and gave some to the four of them.
Once the bruises faded, the five began a brainstorming session.
Mask: "The earth turtle's earth ball attack is hard to dodge. Even if you're fast, you can't dodge them all. I think you still need to wear protective gear, otherwise getting hit by the earth ball will affect your condition too much."
Mengmeng: "That's a good idea. I'll contact Qin Feng and see if I can buy a few sets of protective gear from her."
One of the key reasons why the Demonic Earth Turtle is so difficult to deal with is its earth ball attack, which not only hurts when it hits you, but also affects your agility.
Reduced flexibility leads to being hit by more clay balls, creating a vicious cycle.
Wearing protective gear can solve this problem very well.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Alright, the earth ball attack is solved, but what about its earth defense?"
Earth Defense was a name she gave herself.
Every time they launched an attack, before they could even get close, the demonized earth turtle blocked them with a thick earthen wall, making it impossible for swords and blades to harm it.
Mengmeng: "This is a bit tricky. I think we can fight a war of attrition with it and wear down its stamina. When its stamina is greatly depleted, its movements and reactions will slow down, and that will be the perfect moment for us to attack."
At that point, speed will be everything.
Let's see if the demonic earth turtles can condense earth walls faster, or if their attacks are faster.
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "The consumable station is indeed a good idea. We have more people, so we can wear it down!"
Chen Leying: "Perhaps we can bring more water."
While the others didn't understand Chen Leying's meaning, Meng Qingyin immediately did.
Right, how come she didn't think of that?!
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Why bring water?"
Chen Leying: "Sprinkling water on the soil increases its weight, which will deplete the turtle's energy faster. The faster its energy is depleted, the more beneficial it is for us."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Oh, I get it! Turn all its soil into mud! Hehe, Chen Leying, you're really something."
Meng Qingyin: "But we don't need to bring water, heavy snow will suffice."
The snow-covered space contained a lot of water, more than enough to deal with the demonized earth turtle.
The plan has been finalized; all that's left is to wait for the protective equipment.
Meng Qingyin was unsure of Qin Feng's attitude towards her and didn't want to ask him rashly.
So she pulled Qingfeng aside and said, "Qingfeng, can you ask Qin Feng if he can sell me five pieces of protective gear?"
Qingfeng looked at her cautious expression and couldn't help but find it amusing: "Why don't you ask her yourself?"
Meng Qingyin said helplessly, "I'm just afraid she still doesn't want to see me..."
Although Qin Feng had seen her at yesterday's banquet, everyone was shocked by the news his master had mentioned, and she was unsure of Qin Feng's attitude.
Qingfeng: "Since Afeng didn't point out your disguise on the spot, it means she has completely figured it out."
She encouraged him, "Master, you can send her a message now."
