35: Mechanical troops

Li Feng immediately bound Bill and his 1000 Beedrill.

Heroes of the same race provide double the enhancement to Troops!

Epic-tier Heroes can grant their Troops a +50% increase to all attributes!

And Bill's enhancement to the Beedrill was a +100% increase to all attributes!

Li Feng waved his hand, signaling Bill to leave.

As soon as Bill left Li Feng's territory, he instantly appeared among the Beedrill's ranks.

Although Beedrill have no intelligence and are merely biological weapons,

they instinctively gathered around a Hero of their own race, flying around Bill.

Seeing this, the other Heroes' eyes filled with envy.

Among Li Feng's Troops, there were none of their own races.

Normally, everyone was like this, and no one would think much of it.

Now, Bill's appearance immediately made them feel uneasy.

Especially Skarner and Kha'Zix, who secretly vowed in their hearts.

Tomorrow's exploration must be doubly diligent.

Because they knew that killing other monsters had a chance to drop Troop blueprints.

What if a blueprint for Troops of their own race dropped?

Li Feng was unaware of the psychological activities of his Heroes; at this moment, served by several Human Priests, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The eighth day arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Li Feng began to deploy his forces.

Among them, he entrusted all 1000 Beedrill to Bill to explore the map to the west of the territory.

To the west of the territory, it bordered a cliff.

Li Feng had never explored it before, but this time he planned to let Bill lead the Beedrill to explore it, hoping for some unexpected discoveries.

Upon receiving the order, Bill immediately flapped his wings, leading all the Beedrill to fly towards the sky above the cliff.

Li Feng divided the remaining Troops into three parts.

One part was naturally left to guard the home; he didn't want his home to be raided as soon as he left.

One part was led by Kha'Zix to explore one direction.

And another part was explored by him and Skarner together in one direction.

Li Feng sat on Skarner's back as the Troop army set off.

Soon, the army split into two parts, each marching on its own.

The army led by Li Feng marched straight eastward.

This was also the map he had personally explored on the first day.

The army he was with brought a total of 100 Buzzwole and 100 Flying Mantis.

The number was not large, only 200 Troops.

But it was enough to sweep through everything.

Because they were at least Tier 4 Troops, Li Feng's side marched very quickly.

In a short while, they had traveled several kilometers.

Soon, Li Feng encountered the first wave of monsters.

They were Sun Bears, numbering over 500!

However, unlike the usual Sun Bears, this group of Sun Bears all had silvery-gray metallic skin, shimmering with a cold light under the sunlight.

[Mech Sun Bear]

Race: Mechanical race

Tier: 1

Level: 1

HP: 130

Attack: 12

Defense: 6

Skill: Laser Cannon

... The Mech Sun Bears also discovered Li Feng, and they all opened their large mouths.

No sound was emitted, only small, silvery-gray cannon barrels.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom... The next moment, beams of laser light spewed from their mouths, raining down on Li Feng in an overwhelming torrent.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Skarner immediately issued a command.

The next moment, a group of Buzzwole flew in front of Li Feng, forming an impenetrable wall of insects.

The Flying Mantis also received orders, but their orders were to attack.

Their wings flapped frantically, activating the High-Speed Movement skill.

The next moment, they transformed into afterimages, rapidly approaching the Mech Sun Bears.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish... Streaks of cold blade light flashed.

The mere Tier 1 monster, the Mech Sun Bear, was naturally instantly killed.

The light in their eyes extinguished, and their technologically advanced bodies crashed heavily to the ground.

In just a few minutes, all 500 Mech Sun Bears were annihilated, leaving only a field of metallic wreckage.

[Your Troops killed a Mech Sun Bear, your Troops gained a small amount of experience, you gained Gold * 1!]

[Your Troops killed a Mech Sun Bear, your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained Gold * 1!]

[Your Troops...]

Having just set out, he had already earned over 500 gold coins, which was a good start.

Li Feng remained still on Skarner's back, and the Flying Mantis naturally brought the corpses of the Mech Sun Bears before him.

[Collection successful, you obtained: Tier 1 Mech Core * 1!]

[Collection successful, you obtained: Tier 1 Mech Core * 1!]

Mechanical race Troops are different from conventional Troops.

Conventional Troops can be mass-produced by investing gold coins once the altar's cooldown ends.

Mechanical race Troops not only require gold coins but also Mech Cores of the same tier.

Although the cost of summoning has increased, Mechanical race Troops are still one of the Troops highly sought after by all Lords.

Because, as long as there are enough gold coins and Mech Cores, you can manufacture as many Mechanical race Troops as you want, without a cooldown period.

If you really had to say there was a cooldown, it would be there.

On average, summoning one Mechanical race Troop takes 1 second.

However, Mech Cores are not free items.

Normally, summoning Mechanical race Troops of the same tier costs double the gold coins.

Low-tier Troops are one thing, but the cost of summoning high-tier Troops is simply too great.

For Li Feng, summoning Mechanical race Troops was not worth it.

He could summon Zerg Troops without a cooldown either.

He planned to list the collected Mech Cores on the trading market to sell to other Lords later.

He believed that Lords would soon discover Mechanical race Troop blueprints, and these Mech Cores would definitely have a strong market.

After collecting all the corpses, Li Feng had his Troops continue their journey.

Any monsters encountered along the way were completely cleared out.

Mech Sun Bears, Mech Goblins, Mech Slimes, Mech Gray Wolves... No matter if Li Feng encountered a group of 100 monsters or 1000 monsters, all were completely annihilated.

As for Li Feng's own side, let alone any Troops dying.

Even the monsters' damage couldn't break through their defenses; his Troops had not taken a single point of damage so far.

Along the way, he also saw some resource points.

Li Feng did not stop for these, merely marking down their coordinates.

His personal expedition this time was not for killing monsters or collecting resources.

His goal was to find dungeons and achieve the first clear!
