21: Infinitely split the stone man? Watch me show off my skills!
Fortunately, a number provided Lin Feng's extremely taut nerves with a sliver of breathing room.
Movement Speed: 1 meter/second
Attack Speed: 3 seconds/attack
This was not the system's benevolence.
Instead, it was another form of psychological torture.
With its extreme slowness, it heralded an unstoppable crushing force, telling you that death was approaching step by step, that you had nowhere to run, and that you could only watch it grind everything you had into dust.
The Stone Giant finally entered the Mage Tower's range.
An endless stream of Goblin cannon fodder surged forward fearlessly, like a green tide.
With their fragile bodies, they formed the most resilient chains, tightly entangling the giant's advancing steps.
The giant raised its colossal arm made of rock, its movements slow but carrying the weight of crushing mountains.
Boom!
A small group of Goblins was instantly smashed into a blurry green pulp.
But as soon as it raised its arm, a new wave of cannon fodder filled the void, pinning it firmly in place, buying every inch of space for the firepower behind it.
The Star Fury Mage Tower's attacks began to pour down relentlessly.
After the tenth attack, that familiar, eerie blue beam, representing absolute annihilation, suddenly lit up!
Annihilation Ray!
The massive Stone Giant disintegrated with a crash in the beam, splitting into two Stone Men, each half the size but with no reduction in oppressive presence.
Health: 10000
Attack: 100
Almost as soon as they reformed, another special effect of the Mage Tower was triggered.
Spatial Teleportation!
A complex runic array lit up beneath one of the Stone Men's feet, its figure instantly blurred, and the next second, it was forcibly sent back to the edge of the mist where it had just started.
On the battlefield, only one Stone Man with 10,000 health remained.
The pressure was drastically reduced!
Lin Feng's eyes, however, grew even colder, without a ripple.
He knew this was just a temporary data separation.
He couldn't wait.
What he wanted was to decompose the current threat again before the banished unit returned!
Lin Feng's will struck the Hero Altar like thunder!
"Transform into a Hero!"
He wanted to personally enter the fray and accelerate this splitting process in the most efficient way!
The Barbarian King, wielding a giant axe, charged towards the 10,000-health Stone Man with an overwhelming aura of resurrected malevolence.
The Stone Man noticed the tiny challenger, clumsily turned around, and raised its massive rock arm.
The wind-up for its attack was comically long.
Lin Feng didn't even bother to dodge, a simple sidestep was enough to make the heavy, powerful attack miss.
The giant axe in his hand, with a shriek that tore through the air, fiercely struck the Stone Man's leg joint!
-80!
The damage was not high.
But with continuous card draws, he would eventually draw the Annihilation Ray!
Under his furious output, that lone Stone Man was finally hit by the Annihilation Ray again before its companion returned!
Boom!
It split into two medium-sized Stone Men with 5,000 health each.
In the distance, the 10,000-health Stone Man that had been teleported away finally returned to the battlefield with heavy steps.
10,000 health, plus two 5,000 health.
The threat was increasing exponentially.
"Trouble?"
Lin Feng's lips, instead, curved into a cold arc.
"No, it's data."
His body weaved flexibly among the three Stone Men, each attack precisely landing on their vital joints, consuming these clumsy targets with almost no damage to himself.
Time passed minute by minute.
The three Stone Men, under his axe and the Mage Tower's attacks, successively split into eight small Stone Men with 2,500 health each.
The battlefield instantly became crowded and chaotic!
Although their attack power was greatly weakened, the advantage of numbers at this moment became the most terrifying nightmare.
Eight Stone Men formed a loose encirclement, surging towards the city wall from all directions!
The defense line previously piled up with Goblin cannon fodder was instantly breached!
Rumble!
In the sky, a burning meteor whistled down, precisely striking the densest area of Stone Men.
Fireball from the Sky!
-200!
-200!
A series of damage numbers floated up, but only a wisp of smoke rose from the Stone Men's bodies; the continuous burning effect was completely ineffective against their elemental life form!
"Indeed, immune to continuous elemental damage."
Lin Feng's eyes showed no panic, but rather ignited with a primal madness!
He let out a roar, not retreating but advancing, using his body like a meteor to actively collide with the eight Stone Men!
He would use his flesh and blood to forge an insurmountable defense line!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Eight rock arms, almost simultaneously, slammed heavily onto his body!
-50! -50! -50!
The single damage was insignificant.
But the dense attacks made it impossible for him to dodge, and his health began to plummet at a visible rate!
800!
600!
Just as his health was about to drop below 500 points!
In Lin Feng's eyes, two crimson flames suddenly flared!
"Rage!"
Roar—!
A visible crimson energy wave exploded, and ten Barbarian phantoms wielding giant axes roared into existence around him, charging towards the small Stone Men like the most loyal guard!
A warm current surged through his body, and Lin Feng's health instantly skyrocketed!
The giant axe in his hand was enveloped in a thick, inseparable crimson glow, completely transforming him into a tireless, fearless killing machine!
Under the blessing of hero skills, combined with the continuously firing defense towers in the distance, the eight small Stone Men were forcibly cleared of their health bars!
However, they split again.
They turned into sixteen small Stone Men, each with 1250 health.
Lin Feng and his Barbarian warriors were instantly engulfed by this tide of rock.
His consciousness plunged into a brief darkness.
When he opened his eyes again on the Hero Altar, his heart was unruffled.
The hero's demise was part of the plan.
It was the optimal solution to delay the monsters at the lowest cost.
His gaze swept across the battlefield.
The sixteen small Stone Men had already reached the city wall and were madly attacking the wall's durability with their small fists!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their individual attack power was extremely low.
But sixteen units, thirty-two units, sixty-four units...
When the battlefield completely transformed into an ocean of endless rubble, the quantitative change led to a qualitative change!
Every focused attack caused the city wall's shield to erupt with dazzling ripples!
City Wall Durability: 4100 / 5000
City Wall Durability: 3700 / 5000
City Wall Durability: 3200 / 5000
The durability was plummeting at an alarming rate!
Lin Feng's resurrection countdown seemed incredibly long at this moment.
But he just watched quietly, calculating the Stone Men's damage.
He knew that these small Stone Men could no longer cause a stir.
When the last small rock, with less than a hundred health points, was smashed into powder by the trebuchet, the entire battlefield finally returned to its suffocating silence.
"Congratulations on completing the Elite Challenge! Defense Rating: Excellent!"
"Obtained Gold x8000, heavy oil x4000, Points x100"
