Chapter 27 Four Temples
Chapter 27 Four Temples
[Blood Sea Great Sage], Level 18, Arena Points 888, Win Rate 74%, is quite well-known in the Silver Arena.
In the world of card games, players can create a "clan" once they reach level 20.
This "family" is similar to a guild or gang, with many exclusive gameplay features and certain tasks that are only available to families.
[Blood Sea Great Sage] is about to reach level 20. He also intends to establish a clan, but a single commander cannot form a clan. To establish a clan, at least two people are needed.
Unfortunately, most of the players who are at a slightly higher level now have clans, so [Blood Sea Great Sage] went to places with more newbies to recruit some prospective clan members. Yesterday, he recruited [Mighty Force Makes Me Make Miracles] and [The Strongest Scoundrel].
Speaking of which, he also provided two of the Wildcat cards from the "Mighty Force Makes Me a Miracle" event.
The Great Sage of the Blood Sea still cared a little about his two disciples, so when he received the plea for help from the Mighty One, he decided to lend a hand.
To his surprise, he discovered right away that someone was pretending to be weak while secretly plotting against his own inexperienced apprentice.
"So, this guy got frustrated and punished, so he's replaying the game and now he's bullying newbies?"
Some memories flashed through [Blood Sea Great Sage's] mind. When he first entered the world of cards, he was also tricked by some veterans, and it was in the arena that he was tricked. So he paid a lot of attention to the arena after that. Now he is doing quite well and is considered a minor celebrity in the Silver Arena.
"Master, can Dali win this round?"
This is a call from [The Strongest Scoundrel], who is also watching the game.
Spectators cannot communicate with players in the arena, but spectators can freely communicate with each other.
"That depends on his luck and his comprehension..."
【Blood Sea Great Sage】does not have high hopes for 【Great Power Makes Me Create Miracles】 at all.
She only has seven Night Owl cards!
If I could collect a nine-lives cat, I might be able to play with it.
But what good are seven night owls now?
That guy called "Black Card Emperor" has seven wild black bears, which is enough to crush seven night owls.
"That Black Card Emperor is despicable! He has so many cards, why didn't he use them in the Duel Arena before? He was hiding his strength and deliberately trying to trick us! Dali was too honest and fell for his trick. This time he has to pay two hundred gold coins. Oh my god, all the money he earned before is gone..."
"The ultimate slacker!" someone exclaimed.
[Blood Sea Great Sage] said, "Don't be too pessimistic. Dali is not without hope of turning the tide. In this competitive map, the Temple's forces should not be underestimated. Keep watching. This guy has already opened a barracks. The barracks in the Tranquil Temple are called Hunting Huts, and they can train one Jungle Archer every minute... Wait, why isn't he leading troops to hunt in the wild? Why did he bring all his troops back to the base? What is he doing? Building towers for defense?"
In the scene seen by [Blood Sea Great Sage], Zhou Nan brought all his troops back to the base and did nothing but have the four heroes block the entrance to the base and build watchtowers. They built for more than ten minutes, completely blocking the entrance to the base and trapping the pandas, wild black bears and other creatures inside. The jungle archers that spawned in the hunting hut also seemed to be set to patrol and defense mode, guarding the base.
"Here we go again, this little trash is pulling the same trick again. Last time he built towers like this, waiting for us to attack him!"
"The ultimate slacker!" he shouted, utterly frustrated.
[Blood Sea Great Sage] laughed and said, "Looks like I misjudged him. This guy's a fool. How can he win... Wait, he's locked himself and a squad of murlocs outside the base. What's he doing? Going to jungle? Taking murlocs to jungle? Why isn't he taking the Fifth Ring Road? Going to kill the monsters on the Fourth Ring Road? No, he's on the Third Ring Road. What's he going to do?"
"What are the Fifth Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road?"
[The Ultimate Scoundrel] was a little confused.
【Blood Sea Great Sage】 explained: "Let me give you a brief introduction. The map of the Four Temples is very large. Each time the game starts, the positions of the four temples are randomized. These are called spawn points. The spawn point is either due south, due west, due north, or due east. See? Dali's spawn point is due north, and Black Card Emperor's is due east. Their spawn points are adjacent, which is called proximity."
"Hmm!" said [The Strongest Scoundrel], "I saw it!"
[Blood Sea Great Sage] added, "Look at the very center of the minimap; that's the strongest monster stronghold on the map, known as the Dragon Point!"
"Dragon Point?"
"That's right, because red dragons, black dragons, blue dragons, or bone dragons will randomly spawn there. The dragons are so powerful that even the top players in our Silver Arena wouldn't dare to provoke them, let alone you lowly players in the Bronze Arena."
"Oh, oh, oh."
"With Dragon Point as the center, there are five ring-shaped canyon passages, which are the five ring roads. The innermost one is the first ring road, and the outermost one is the fifth ring road. Of course, this is what we players call it."
"The monsters on the Fifth Ring Road are the weakest, and those on the First Ring Road are the strongest. The Temple's troops all spawn from the Fifth Ring Road. Why is this Black Card Emperor going straight to the Third Ring Road? Is he going to fight the monsters on the Third Ring Road? That would require a Green Card setup..."
I don't quite understand "The Great Sage of the Blood Sea".
The "Strongest Scoundrel" shouted, "Master, this little trash, he... he seems to be heading towards the Second Ring Road..."
"Second Ring Road? This guy's showing off, he even wants to fight the monsters in the second ring road..."
At this very moment, on the [Four Directions Temple] map, Zhou Nan is leading his cannon followers and 20 little murlocs toward a high ground he remembers.
That high ground is on the Second Ring Road, like a cliff, with only one narrow road leading up and down, and a watchtower stands on it.
Every minute, the watchtower allows players to conduct a fixed-point observation across the entire map, which can be used to scout the opponent's spawn point or check the location of neutral monsters.
However, generally speaking, few people use this watchtower right away.
Because there is a spiky dragon turtle under that high ground. As long as someone uses the watchtower, the spiky dragon turtle will rush over. It is huge and cannot climb the high ground, but it will keep the player trapped on the high ground until they die.
Spiked Dragon Turtle is much stronger than the monsters on the Fifth Ring Road. It has high attack, high defense, and a huge amount of health. Even in the Infinite Firepower mode, it is almost impossible for players to take it down head-on.
Even if you manage to kill someone by using terrain, it will still be time-consuming and laborious, and it's also unpleasant for players to be trapped on high ground.
Zhou Nan, however, was not afraid of being blocked, as he was originally there to upgrade the artillery apprentice's star level.
"I've sealed off the base, left the main force there, plus jungle archers. Even if the enemy discovers my base's location, it should take them some time to take it down. In the meantime, I'll upgrade my artillery units..."
In fact, Zhou Nan also had his concerns. He knew that there were people watching the battle and did not want to expose General Rock too early.
Upon arriving at the high ground, Zhou Nan looked closely and, unsurprisingly, the spiked dragon turtle was as huge as a large armored vehicle, with a black shell covered in spikes.
[Spiked Dragon Turtle: 120000 HP, 1250-1550 Attack, 1.0 Attack Speed, 30 HP Regen per second. Skills: Spiked Skin, Taunt LV3, Crush Attack LV3!]
"Panda Panda also has a crushing attack, but it's only level 1. This level 3 crushing attack has a larger range, and the damage seems to be 180?"
Zhou Nan couldn't quite remember, but he didn't care. He led the Cannon Master Deng Lei and 20 Murlocs to the high ground. Once there, Zhou Nan had the Cannon Master Deng Lei load the Murloc cannonballs, and then he activated the Watchtower and chose to look at the spawn point in the due south of the map.
