Chapter 7: It’s over Before It Even Begins?
The neighbor aunt persuaded Li Yang for a while, but failed to change his mind.
Seeing Li Yang's stubborn look.
She had no choice but to give up.
After telling Li Yang to be careful, she quickly evacuated with the surrounding villagers.
Li Yang returned to the backyard and planted two more pea shooters.
He took a deep breath and looked around.
The huge village became extremely deserted in just a few minutes.
Since everyone had left, then next...
it was his turn to perform.
Divine Plant, start!
As Li Yang gave the order.
The whole village suddenly rang with a rustling sound.
The plants that were arranged in various places in advance pulled out their roots and stems, and grew to adult size in just a few seconds.
Hundreds of pea shooters poked their heads out from both sides of the main road, swaying slightly with the cool night wind.
The nut wall in the front row also rose from the ground. The oval nuts, which were almost as tall as a person, stood on the ground, swaying and looking like they would fall down if pushed.
But Li Yang knew very well that this thing, which looked quite unstable, could easily withstand a round of machine gun fire.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"
On the ground behind the nut wall, there were several inconspicuous small mounds.
A few silver-white metal sticks were inserted on it, making a subtle "diao" sound.
These were the potato mines he had planted.
Li Yang had a deep impression of these gadgets.
The price was 25 sun rays, and the power of one shot to kill all the small zombies in one grid...
Before getting the melon, this little potato with a steel pipe on its head had always been his favorite.
A huge number of pea shooters, a whole wall of nuts, and potato mines everywhere...
When these things were piled up in units of "hundreds", how much power could they produce?
Li Yang found a place with a good view and waited and saw.
The speed of the beast tide was not slow.
Less than five minutes after the villagers evacuated.
The first batch of monsters had already come.
There were not many of them, but the roars from those things could still be heard clearly from a long distance.
"Awoo!!!"
Accompanied by a low vibration, a piercing roar sounded from afar.
The giant wolf monster in the lead raised a lot of dust and rushed towards the village.
The sky was full of wind and sand, and the smoke was full.
The dust was also stained with some bloody smell.
Although it was only a small cluster of the beast tide, it still exuded an unstoppable momentum.
The small village where Li Yang was located seemed to be just an ant trying to stop a chariot in front of this beast tide.
[Detection of approaching beast tide, danger level, low]
[The level distribution of monsters in the beast tide is as follows:]
[Below level 20: 80%]
[Level 20 to 40: 19.5%]
[Above level 40: 0.5%]
[After calculation, the winning rate of this battle is: 100%]
The system prompt appeared in Li Yang's mind again.
The next second, the sound of peas breaking through the wind whistled past his ears.
The pea shooter in the front has started the first round of attack.
"Bang bang bang——"
Fist-sized peas sprayed out and landed on several giant wolf monsters in the front row, exploding into a blur of flesh and blood.
Those guys were also obviously stunned. They obviously didn't expect that they would be killed by a few peas outside before they even approached the city wall.
The other leopard-shaped monsters howled to the sky and rushed towards the main road of the village.
Then, not surprisingly.
They were stopped by those giant brown nuts.
None of the leading monsters could fly, so they could only try to attack and break the nut wall.
But the strange thing was that these things that looked shaky and could not stand at all were actually ridiculously hard.
The sharp teeth and claws could not penetrate a bit, and even many monsters' skill attacks were completely ineffective!
Some elemental monsters released flames and ice cones, but they could not even scratch the surface of the nut wall.
Moreover, just as they attacked the nut wall, a small cluster was shot dead by the peas behind them like raindrops.
This is not a solution.
Some monsters with higher intelligence found something strange and chose to take a detour.
They tried to pass through the gaps between some houses and the nut wall and enter the village first.
The next second...
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a huge explosion, a burnt potato smell filled the night sky.
[Your potato mine killed the Shadow Black Wolf (Lv.18), congratulations on your experience: 1800 points]
[Your potato mine killed the Shadow Gray Wolf (Lv.26), congratulations on your experience: 2600 points]
[Your potato mine killed the Shadow Wolf King (Lv.40), congratulations on your experience: 3800 points]
[Congratulations, your level has been increased: Lv.18-Lv.19]
Li Yang sat on the roof of his house, looking at the corpse of the monster that was blown several meters high in the distance, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"No way, the power of the potato mine is so great?"
"Just now, there should be only one potato mine that was detonated, and it actually killed three monsters in one breath."
"One of them is a level 40 elite monster..."
"This potato mine is good, it can deal with monsters. It can really kill them in seconds."
[The host level is about to reach the upper limit of the second job (Lv.20). Please complete the job change as soon as possible to unlock more plants that can be purchased (such as cherry bombs, pumpkins, big mouth flowers, ice shooters, etc.)]
The system prompt appears again, reminding Li Yang that his level has reached the requirement and he can go for a second job change.
By the way, he was told about the new plants that he can get after the job change.
In the next round, he can buy cherry bombs.
Upon hearing this, Li Yang immediately began to look forward to it.
My goodness, the potato mine that originally exploded only one grid at a time is much more powerful than ordinary grenades.
The cherry bomb is something like this...
It can't be that bad at the worst!
Apart from other things, just talking about the explosion range, the cherry bomb is a dimensionality reduction attack for the potato mine that is mainly cheap and affordable.
You know, the explosion range of the cherry bomb is nearly nine grids.
It is nine times larger than the potato mine with only one grid!
If the explosion just now was multiplied by nine...
Almost half of the village could be affected.
Not to mention that the cooling time of cherry bombs is very long, and they do not need to be preheated like potato mines.
If conditions permit, Li Yang can even carry a large bag of cherry bombs directly into the dungeon to bombard and kill everyone in seconds.
That scene is exciting just to think about!
…
When Li Yang was watching the beast tide.
At this time, in the office of the military building in Yunzhou City.
Military Minister Wei Congfeng was holding the phone, frowning and asking the other side:
"What? The beast tide stopped?!"
"What do you mean a branch of the beast tide in the east suddenly started fighting in an area far away from the city? Is there something stopping them?"
Just now, the front-line observer responsible for monitoring the movement of the beast tide called and reported something that puzzled the soldiers on the front line.
As before, the beast tide was divided into many groups, besieging Yunzhou from all directions.
But when other places started fighting, a group of beasts in the east were stopped by something and did not reach the Yunzhou city wall within the expected time.
The soldiers on the east wall kept fighting and kept their nerves tense. They were so tired that they did not see even a mosquito flying from that direction.
Everyone was puzzled and arranged observers to monitor the movement of the beasts again.
It turned out that the beasts in the east gathered in the suburbs of Yunzhou City, a considerable distance away, and then stayed there without moving forward.
The beasts broke out, just like a flood. If they were not killed, they would continue to attack the human city.
So in this situation, it is obvious that something is blocking the beasts in that area.
But what can block the beasts so tightly?
Although it is only a branch, it is not easy to intercept all of this scale without strong firepower suppression.
They asked themselves, even if the military went there in person, they might not be able to intercept the beast tide so flawlessly and in an all-round manner.
So, this made people curious.
Who was the one who stopped the beast tide?
