6: New arms

A half-human-height wooden treasure chest refreshed in front of Li Feng.

Treasure chests of the first, second, and third tiers were all made of wood.

He rubbed his hands together and opened the treasure chest.

【You opened a Tier 3 treasure chest and received rewards: Gold Coins * 100, Tier 3 Gem * 1, Tier 3 Troops Blueprint * 1】

Li Feng's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected to obtain a blueprint for Tier 3 Troops so quickly.

He picked up the blueprint and saw that it was for Tier 3 Azure-Armored Wolf Troops.

Azure-Armored Wolves belonged to the Beast Race Troops.

Although Li Feng could also summon them,

non-Zerg Troops could not benefit from the Zerg Scourge's effects.

Li Feng immediately activated his talent and transformed them into Zerg Troops.

【You obtained Ironclad Ant Troops Blueprint * 1!】

【Ironclad Ant】

Race: Zerg

Tier: Tier 3

Construction Requirements: wood * 400, stone * 400, iron block * 400, Tier 3 Gem * 1

...All in all, the number of Beedrill he had lost had already exceeded 300.

But Li Feng felt it was worth it; this treasure chest allowed him to fully recover and even gain a lot.

Li Feng went to the druid's corpse and began to collect.

【Collection successful, you obtained: Food * 100, Tier 3 Druid's Heart * 1!】

The druid's corpse disappeared.

In Li Feng's hand, there was a crystal emitting a green light.

This was the Tier 3 Druid's Heart.

It had no use for other lords.

But if someone's initial Troops awakened as Tier 1 Druids, then by fusing this Tier 3 Druid's Heart, they could immediately raise their Troops' tier to Tier 3.

Li Feng smiled and put it into his personal backpack.

This harvest was substantial, so much so that it disrupted his original plan.

In his original plan, he intended to extensively explore the nearby map and then return to his territory with the spoils.

But now, his harvest was simply too great.

He was eager to return to his territory, organize his gains, and mass-produce Troops!

Thinking of this, he led the remaining Beedrill out of the cave and returned to his territory.

On the way back, bored, he opened the competition channel.

At this moment, the competition channel was buzzing with activity.

“I'm doomed, someone help me, there's a Tier 3 Azure-Armored Wolf outside my territory, my Tier 2 Troops just left the territory and were ambushed by it, eaten alive.”

“I saw a Tier 1 Sun Bear outside my territory, so I directly sent my Tier 3 Troops to kill it, but then a dozen more Sun Bears suddenly emerged from the grass behind it, and my Tier 3 Troops were directly ganged up on and killed.”

“Hahaha, my Tier 4 Troops just killed a dozen Tier 1 Big-Eared Rabbits and also obtained a Tier 1 Troops blueprint.”

“...”

There were a million lords in the competition area.

Even if only a small fraction of lords were chatting, it made the competition channel extremely lively, and information refreshed very quickly.

Li Feng didn't post; he just lurked and watched.

Just as he was watching with relish, he had already returned to his territory.

He closed the competition channel and first took out the Ironclad Ant Troops blueprint.

【You successfully built the Ironclad Ant Altar, consuming a total of wood * 400, stone * 400, iron block * 400, Tier 3 Gem * 1】

Next to the Giant Needle Bee Altar, a new altar appeared.

It was a huge clod of earth, with a large cave entrance beneath it.

【Ironclad Ant Altar】

Tier: Tier 3

Level: 1/10

Production Cooldown: None

Production Cost: 10 Gold Coins / unit

Upgrade Requirements: wood * 400, stone * 400, iron block * 400, Tier 3 Gem * 1

...Summoning Tier 1 Troops only required 1 gold coin, summoning Tier 2 required 5 gold coins, and Tier 3 required 10 gold coins... Of course, initial Troops were an exception!

Even a Tier 6 initial Troops only required 1 gold coin to summon.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be known as the Chosen One.

Li Feng looked at his gold coins; from killing monsters and opening treasure chests, he had obtained a total of 330 gold coins.

He could choose to summon 330 Beedrill.

Or summon 33 Ironclad Ant.

Li Feng had already made his decision; he chose the latter.

Beedrill had a fatal weakness: their bodies were too fragile.

Despite having a tenfold numerical advantage, facing hundreds of Sun Bears still resulted in over 50 casualties, precisely because their bodies were too fragile.

Ironclad Ant's greatest characteristic was their extremely tough bodies.

【You produced Ironclad Ant * 33, consuming a total of Gold Coins * 330!】

Soon, 33 Ironclad Ant, each over a meter long, emerged from the altar and lined up in front of Li Feng.

They had carapaces like steel, reflecting a cold light in the sun.

Li Feng nodded in satisfaction and began to check the Ironclad Ant's information.

【Ironclad Ant】

Race: Zerg

Tier: Tier 3 Troops

Level: 1

Health: 480

Attack: 34

Defense: 28

Skill: Bite: Ironclad Ant possess powerful biting force, capable of dealing significant damage to enemies... Generally speaking, Tier 3 Troops typically have 400 health and 20 defense.

From this, one could see how tough the Ironclad Ant's bodies were.

“Although there are only 33 of them, their combat power is definitely stronger than 330 Beedrill.”

Li Feng murmured, then decisively waved his hand and set out again.

With the addition of these 33 Ironclad Ant, his confidence was even greater, and he decided to thoroughly explore the surrounding terrain.

Preferably, he would clear out all nearby threats...
