111: War treasure, upgrade true blood
“Tsk, no gold coins.”
Li Feng muttered after checking the extra dungeon resources he acquired.
He had obtained all the resources from the three treasure chests, but not a single gold coin.
After entering the dungeon, Li Feng had already acquired 3.5 million gold coins, and Chen Long was naturally no exception.
But after eliminating Chen Long, Li Feng did not receive even a single gold coin.
Clearly, the rules of this dungeon were not overly cruel.
Every participant received a participation prize or, one could say, a consolation prize.
Then, as the victor, a Crystal Treasure Chest appeared before Li Feng.
This was the reward the fourth Crystal Palace bestowed upon Li Feng.
【You have opened the Crystal Palace Treasure Chest. You have received rewards: Tier 7 Gem * 1, Tier 7 Troops Recruitment Order * 10, Lord Skill Book Fragment * 1, War Gem * 500!】
The first three rewards were identical to those from previous treasure chests.
However, an additional reward appeared—War Gem!
This was a special gem that could not be used to increase a Lord’s rank, nor could it be used to build or upgrade the level of Troops Altars.
This was a special gem exclusively for War Treasures.
Currently, Li Feng already possessed 4 War Treasures.
But this was his first time acquiring War Gems.
A blood-red octahedral gem appeared in Li Feng’s hand, and he seemed to hear the clashing of metal and the roars of battle emanating from within it.
Though War Gems were not as precious as War Treasures, they were still relatively rare items.
One War Gem was worth 10,000 gold coins.
As for why Li Feng only acquired War Gems after possessing 4 War Treasures, it could only be said that Li Feng was a bit special.
Generally speaking, many Lords never obtained War Treasures from beginning to end.
For example, Chen Long, in Li Feng’s premonition, either had none or only very low-grade War Treasures.
After all, not every first-place winner in a competition zone could be like Li Feng, monopolizing all the benefits.
After all, there were millions of competitors, and achieving first kills on Bosses and first clears of dungeons relied more on luck.
Not to mention, Chen Long’s novice assessment was just the most conventional one.
While War Treasures existed, the highest they reached was Tier 4.
Looking at the War Gem in his hand, Li Feng showed a pensive expression.
Among all the War Treasures he possessed, the ghost blood blade, as a Tier 1 War Treasure, was naturally out of consideration.
The compass of revenge was a supportive War Treasure; upgrading it could expand the teleportation range of coordinates.
But according to the upgrade rules for War Treasures, even if the compass of revenge was upgraded to max level, it would only double its range from 2,000 kilometers.
For ordinary people, this was an incredibly vast distance.
However, this distance was pitifully small compared to the Endless Continent.
In regions that originated in very ancient times, the distance to Li Feng’s current location could even be measured in light-years.
Of course, those ancient regions had long since become uninhabited areas.
Even some long-lived races, if they didn't become gods, would at most have a lifespan of ten thousand years.
All in all, the compass of revenge held no upgrade value for Li Feng.
“So, I have to choose between True Blood and Zombie Hand?” Li Feng tossed the War Gem in his hand.
He already had an idea in mind.
Zombie Hand played the biggest role in his current combat power.
It was what allowed his useless Beedrill to transform into a top-tier Tier 6 Troops.
But even if Zombie Hand was upgraded to max level, it would still be far from comparable to Tier 7 Troops.
Not to mention, Beedrill’s attack power only reached Tier 6.
In fact, whether it was its physique or speed, Beedrill was far from comparable to Tier 7 Troops.
It was just that Li Feng had too many Beedrill, which largely compensated for this drawback.
Ultimately, Li Feng eliminated Zombie Hand; he chose True Blood.
The percentage defense increase allowed True Blood to accompany Li Feng indefinitely.
Even after becoming a god, True Blood could still provide Li Feng with a certain degree of benefit.
Thinking of this, Li Feng took out 400 War Gems, along with 4 million units of basic resources each.
【Your War Treasure “True Blood” level +1. Total consumption: wood * 2 million, stone * 2 million, iron block * 2 million, War Gem * 200!】
【Your War Treasure “True Blood” level +1. Total consumption: wood * 2 million, stone * 2 million, iron block * 2 million, War Gem * 200!】
True Blood’s level increased to 3.
【True Blood】
Level: 1 ↑ 3
Effect One: All Troops Defense +20% ↑ 24%
...Aside from Effect One receiving a 4% increase, Effects Two and Three remained unchanged, with no alterations whatsoever.
Li Feng looked at the Flying Mantis standing coldly on the battlefield.
More precisely, the Magic Sound Conch Insects attached to their bodies.
These were currently the most durable Troops under his command; each had gained 280 points of defense.
This was already equivalent to the defense of a relatively sturdy Tier 5 Troops.
Of course, Li Feng also paid a huge price.
The basic resources he had previously collected and received as rewards were almost half depleted.
Space twisted.
When he regained his senses, Li Feng had already been teleported into the fifth Crystal Palace.
Looking up, hundreds of Tidal Giants stood before him.
Unlike the Tidal Giants in the previous three palaces, these hundreds of Tidal Giants had massive bodies, each measuring 40 meters tall.
These were Tier 8 Tidal Giant Warriors, an upgraded version of the Tidal Giant.
Upon sensing Li Feng’s aura, all the Tidal Giant Warriors opened their eyes.
Unlike the bare-handed Tidal Giants, each of them held a golden trident, staring at Li Feng with indifference.
“As expected of warriors, much quieter than the common folk.” Li Feng slowly lowered his hands, which he had prepared to cover his ears, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, his gaze drifted to the golden tridents in the hands of the Tidal Giant Warriors.
Each of these tridents was over 40 meters long, entirely crafted from gold.
“Looking at their size, they must weigh at least a ton, right? If I could get my hands on them, they’d probably sell for a lot of money.” Li Feng’s thoughts wandered.
He didn't pay the slightest attention to the hundreds of behemoths before him...
