Chapter 12636

However, after seeing their shapes clearly, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It was quite large, about the size of an adult sow, and its overall size was similar, but it was white and fat, just like a big fat worm.

The action was extremely slow.

Its attack method is to spit silk.

"Doesn't look like it has any offensive capabilities?"

From an outsider's perspective, the biggest effect of these insects spinning silk is simply to restrict the movement of civilians.

There were no other substantial injuries.

Therefore, for Lu Changgu, once the common people are unable to act, it is essentially a fatal blow.

Because they will no longer be able to play a productive role.

However, looking at it from another perspective, there's always a way to deal with these insect silkworm threads.

As long as civilians do not suffer substantial losses, everything is still within an acceptable range.

Moreover, from the moment these fat worm demons appeared, the arrow towers began firing spontaneously in unison.

They may appear tough and thick-skinned at first glance, but they are too slow to move and each one is a ready-made target.

It's only a matter of time before they're all destroyed.

Zhang Fengxiao smirked: "Come on, let's try our best to take them down!"

As the first fat worm demon was shot and blown apart, a deafening roar immediately resounded throughout the entire arena.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"This thing can actually self-destruct?"

With just one self-destruction, more than a dozen civilians were instantly killed and their remains were never found.

Lu Changgu immediately realized something was wrong and quickly ordered the civilians to disperse.

However, the vast majority of them are trapped by the silk threads and have nowhere to escape.

"Stop the arrow towers immediately!"

The people on the sidelines quickly reminded Lu Changgu.

If they continue firing like this, all the civilians will probably be wiped out.

Lu Changgu reacted immediately, and all the arrow towers went into silence at the same time.

While this doesn't address the root cause, it at least buys time and allows us to explore possible solutions.

However, less than two seconds later, another fat worm demon self-destructed.

Another seven or eight civilians were killed or wounded in one go.

This isn't even the most critical part.

What happened next sent chills down everyone's spine.

The remaining eight fat worm demons triggered a chain reaction, initiating a series of self-destructions.

The scene was immediately a mess.

Not only were most of the defensive fortifications, including the arrow towers, destroyed, but more importantly, only a handful of civilians remained.

From any perspective, Lu Changgu has already been sentenced to death.

As expected, although Lu Changgu tried his best to remedy the situation, the surviving productivity was ultimately too small.

Let alone building new fortifications, we are already powerless to even repair what has been destroyed.

A wave of demons charged down, and Lu Changgu was eliminated on the spot.

The entire room fell silent once again.

Zhang Fengxiao sneered: "Being able to hold out until the fifth wave is quite an achievement, but it's useless. You need to hold out until the twentieth wave, which is still a long way off."

For a moment, no one could refute it.

An inexplicable sense of despair enveloped everyone.

Of the challengers who came on stage before, putting aside the others, Cao Luoshen and Lu Changgu's performances were absolutely amazing.

However, even these two were like kicking an iron plate when facing Zhang Fengxiao. If anyone else were to take the field, it is easy to imagine that they would be even more desperate.

Little did they know that while Zhang Fengxiao appeared arrogant on the surface, he was actually filled with lingering fear in his heart.

No one knew better than him how dangerous it had just been.

Sending out this wave of self-destructing insect demons may seem like a minor tactic to outsiders, just the tip of the iceberg among his many trump cards.

This was actually their last gamble.

He just happened to win the gamble by sheer luck.

If Lu Changgu had taken precautions beforehand, built a defensive fortification underground, or simply had all the civilians climb the arrow towers in advance, the situation would have been completely different.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Ultimately, it comes down to this: in this kind of tower defense challenge, intelligence is the most crucial element.

Like Cao Luoshen, Lu Changgu was not defeated by Zhang Fengxiao, but by insufficient intelligence.

If the challengers ahead of them can gather more information, or if they are allowed to advance to the final stage, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

The next two challengers returned to the same rhythm as before.

They couldn't even handle the bat-winged demons in front of them, let alone make it to the fifth wave.

Purely means giving it away for free.

Everyone in the room looked grim.

Zhang Fengxiao chuckled and held up three fingers.

"There are only three spots left, and your chances are running out. If I were to walk away unscathed, the entire Tianjun County would lose face."

Zhang Fengxiao clicked his tongue and said, "So many so-called top experts, yet they couldn't even stop one of them, Zhang Fengxiao. How embarrassing would that be if word got out? Just thinking about it makes me anxious for you guys."

The entire audience erupted in another round of curses.

Unfortunately, the results speak for themselves, and no matter how harsh their criticisms are, they seem utterly ineffective at this moment.

"The barking of a bunch of losers is actually quite pleasant to hear."

Zhang Fengxiao's face clearly showed two words.

Contempt.

The beam of light on the track lit up again, and after a brief sway, it finally landed on an obese figure.

The crowd immediately erupted in astonishment.

"Food Saint?"

Zhang Fengxiao's expression changed slightly.

He certainly didn't take everyone seriously, but they were still one of the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Clan.

Even if, in terms of reputation and strength, he could only rank at the bottom among the Five Saints, at best only qualified to sit at the same table as the deceased Killing Saint, ultimately, his level was undeniable.

As the second son of the strategist, he was all too aware of the profound heritage of the Five Sages.

Once such a person takes the stage, they are far superior to the nobodies and riffraff from before.

The Food Saint grinned: "Kid, why aren't you shouting anymore? Are you scared now?"

"afraid?"

Zhang Fengxiao scoffed, "I'd like to hear what you have that I'm afraid of? Food Saint, you should first understand that this isn't a one-on-one duel arena, nor is it a contest of eating and drinking!"

The crowd, which had just become excited, immediately calmed down upon hearing this.

Compared to the challengers who appeared before, the Food Saint, as the only master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form, is indeed the one with the highest status and is indeed the one most worth looking forward to.

However, under these rules, it's hard to say how much of a chance he has against Zhang Fengxiao.

It's at least not something to be optimistic about.

"Does the Food Saint lineage have any famous auxiliary secret techniques?"

Someone couldn't help but ask a question.

The result was silence.

As an individual, the Food Saint is most famous for his Dharma Body Restoration Secret Technique. When ordinary experts face him, the damage they deal is not even as fast as his recovery, highlighting a sense of despair.

However, this kind of individual recovery ability is completely mismatched with the current situation.

Everyone couldn't help but start to worry.

"Could the Food Saint be inferior to Lu Changgu?"

This is not only not impossible, but it is highly likely.
