15: Taboo synthesis reappears! My goblin carries a bazooka!
Five colossal shadows, so vast they blotted out the sky, slowly ascended from the darkness, their enormous, flame-burning wings beating.
The world paled before them.
What to do?
Lin Feng’s brain spun at an unprecedented speed, every thought a race against death.
Five Flame Dragonss.
Each had two thousand hit points.
Each possessed a terrifying two hundred magic attack!
His current hero body, with only one thousand hit points, couldn’t even withstand a single concentrated attack from them.
The [Triple-Barreled Frost Rocket Silo] he was so proud of, with an attack power of 150, was barely even scratching these monsters with their high health and attack power; it was like trying to put out a bonfire with a cup of water.
Even if he poured all his current gold into frantically building Anti-Air Rockets, the damage would definitely not be enough.
It would be a one-sided slaughter, with no suspense.
No, there must be a way!
Every challenge from the system would never be an unsolvable dead end!
If damage wasn’t enough, there must be other ways to break the situation!
Lin Feng’s gaze swept over his panel like a scanner, over every building, every skill, trying to find that glimmer of hope from the complex data.
His gaze suddenly fixed.
One was the [Goblin Spearmen Camp] that could continuously summon cannon fodder.
The other was the blueprint for the [Anti-Air Rocket].
A crazy thought, yet one full of infinite possibilities, exploded in his mind!
Barracks and defensive towers… cross-category fusion?
Although he had successfully attempted cross-category fusion with arrow towers before.
But this time, what kind of sparks would fly? Would a miracle be born, or would it simply disintegrate into a pile of scrap?
He didn’t know.
But he had no choice; he could only gamble!
“Purchase three [Anti-Air Rockets]!”
[Gold consumed x1200, remaining gold x3000.]
“Fuse!”
Three silver lights shot into the sky, merging into a more precise, more menacing launch matrix.
[Fusion successful! You have obtained a rare building — Triple Rapid Fire Rocket Silo!]
[Triple Rapid Fire Rocket Silo]
Quality: Blue (Rare)
Attack Power: 150
Attack Speed: 1 second / 1 shot
Special Effect: [Triple Shot] (Passive) — Fires three rockets simultaneously with each attack.
This was still not enough!
Lin Feng’s will moved again, like a desperate gambler!
“Purchase two [Anti-Air Rockets] and one [Goblin Spearmen Camp]!”
[Gold consumed x1000, remaining gold x2000.]
A brand new barracks and two rocket launchers appeared on the open ground.
“Select them, and perform, cross-category fusion!”
[Ding! Barracks-type building and defensive tower-type building detected. Proceed with cross-category fusion?]
“Yes!”
This time, the light was no longer a simple fusion.
The crude Goblin camp, like a greedy sponge, swallowed all the data streams transformed from the two rocket launchers!
The light dissipated.
What appeared in its place was no longer a wooden shed, but a chaotic yet precise armory wrapped in metal and pipes, full of steampunk flair!
Black smoke even comically billowed from the factory’s chimney.
[Ding! Fusion successful! You have obtained a unique building — Goblin Demolition Workshop!]
[Goblin Demolition Workshop]

[Goblin Rocket Soldier]

It’s done!
Lin Feng’s pupils suddenly contracted, forcefully suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.
He looked up; the five dragons had already approached within three hundred meters, their scorching dragon’s breath even beginning to distort the air.
Time!
He needed time!
He had to buy enough summoning time for these fragile Goblin Rocket Soldiers!
“Roar!”
Lin Feng, now the Barbarian King, let out an earth-shattering roar, not retreating but advancing, actively charging towards the five behemoths that resembled mountains!
His tiny figure, beneath the shadows of the dragons, was like a suicidal ant charging at a windmill.
One dragon lowered its massive head, its lava-like pupils reflecting Lin Feng’s charging figure, filled with the unique disdain of a beast.
It opened its enormous mouth, and a house-sized, intensely condensed fireball roared out!
Lin Feng’s pupils sharply contracted.
He didn’t take the hit head-on, but instead executed a sharp side-slide, his body almost scraping the ground, narrowly avoiding the direct impact of the fireball!
Boom!
The fireball smashed into the ground behind him, exploding in a towering inferno, causing the entire fortress platform to violently shake.
The scorching heatwave still flung him away.
-50!
A slight stinging sensation on his skin; this was the most direct death warning brought by the 10% pain feedback.
He rolled to dissipate the force, stabilized his body, and without a moment’s pause, continued to charge towards another dragon!
What he had to do was use himself as bait, attract the aggro of all the dragons, and prevent them from attacking the fortress behind him, which was frantically spawning troops.
The second and third dragons also joined the attack.
For a time, the sky was covered by a dense barrage of fireballs.
Lin Feng was like a dancer moving through a doomsday firestorm, pushing his evasion skills to the limits of his neural reactions.
He used the dragons’ massive bodies as cover, frantically weaving and kiting in the gaps between their attacks.
Thirty seconds.
Forty seconds.
Fifty seconds.
He had lost count of how many deadly attacks he had dodged; each time was a frantic test on the razor’s edge of life and death.
Finally, as he tried to pass through the gap between two fireballs, a dragon accurately predicted his movement.
A huge fireball sealed all his escape routes.
In Lin Feng’s eyes, there was only a dazzling, destructive blaze.
Boom!
An intense burning sensation instantly spread throughout his body.
His health instantly dropped to zero.
His consciousness plunged into an endless darkness.
Then, as if only a moment had passed, or perhaps a century, his consciousness was sharply pulled back, returning to the Hero Altar.
[Hero deceased, currently recuperating. Remaining revival time: 29 seconds.]
Lin Feng’s gaze immediately turned to the battlefield.
He succeeded!
In the full sixty seconds he had bought with his life, the [Goblin Demolition Workshop] had tirelessly summoned twelve Goblins, carrying huge rocket launchers and with fanatical eyes!
And the five dragons, having lost him, the “fly,” were now flapping their massive wings, preparing to launch their final general assault on the fortress.
It was at this moment.
A Goblin Rocket Soldier let out a sharp, metallic screech.
It shouldered the huge rocket launcher, completely disproportionate to its body, aimed at a dragon in the sky, and fiercely pulled the trigger!
Whoosh!
A rocket, trailing a long plume of fire, shrieked as it ascended!
This was the signal for the counterattack!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, a death barrage composed of twelve rockets surged upwards from the ground, weaving into an impenetrable web of firepower in the air, completely engulfing the three closest dragons!
-50!
-50!
-50!
-50!
A series of dense damage numbers, like a screen-filling torrent, frantically flashed above the heads of the three dragons!
They let out painful and furious roars, their massive bodies struggling violently in the air.
But it was all in vain.
Under the relentless, fearless concentrated fire of the twelve Goblin Rocket Soldiers, the formidable 2000 hit points of the three arrogant Flame Dragonss were actually completely depleted by this furious web of firepower!
Their burning giant wings extinguished, their massive bodies, like three fallen mountains, crashed heavily from the sky with unwilling wails!
Rumble!
However, before Lin Feng could even breathe a sigh of relief.
The last two remaining dragons were completely enraged!
They took a deep breath, their chests puffed out, then opened their enormous mouths, spewing out a fan-shaped, world-destroying, desperate dragon’s breath that covered the entire front field!
Flames swept over everything.
The twelve Goblin Rocket Soldiers, who had just achieved an unparalleled feat, didn’t even have time to let out a scream before they were instantly reduced to ashes in the terrifying flames.
The entire battlefield was cleared again.
Only two dragons, still at full health, remained!
It let out a roar of victory, launching its final, suicidal dive towards the core of the fortress!
It was at this moment.
They entered the rocket tower’s range.
The two ultimate Anti-Air Rocket matrices, which had been silent, finally awakened.
[Triple-Barreled Frost Rocket Silo]!
[Triple Rapid Fire Rocket Silo]!
Buzz—!
Six deadly lights illuminated simultaneously!
At the same time, on the Hero Altar, the cold countdown quietly reached zero.
[Revival Time: 0]
Flames of revenge ignited in Lin Feng’s eyes.
He was back!
