Chapter 335 Building an Invincible Fortress!
"Brother, this little bug is so powerful, why don't we let it shine for Dragon City?" Honglian thought of the Radiant Beetle's incredible light source, which was a hundred times stronger than looking directly at the sun.
If it's used to light up Longcheng at night...
Not only is the light source strong enough, it is more than enough to illuminate the entire Dragon City.
There's no need to worry anymore that lighting too many torches will cause oxygen deprivation for the people of Dragon City.
"The Radiant Beetle's abilities are indeed too powerful; it needs proper training. But... illuminating the entire Dragon City isn't necessary." Hearing this suggestion, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head with amusement.
After all... the Radiant Beetle has only recently evolved and cannot yet control the brightness of its own radiance.
Once the Intense Light talent is unleashed, it releases a light so bright it can blind people.
It's essential to give it a job and let it hone its skills.
This has become the norm after pets have been domesticated.
Just like the tamed crows before, the power of the curse was initially somewhat out of control.
Therefore, Xiao Yu sent it to the city defense army, where it often went hunting with them.
The Radiant Beetle's abilities are so abnormal that it can easily injure friendly units, so it must be trained properly.
However, making the Radiant Beetle glow at night illuminates the entire Dragon City as if it were daytime.
While this would solve the lighting problem, it's... not really appropriate, is it?
"Can you reproduce?" Xiao Yu thought for a moment and asked the Radiant Beetle in his mind.
Buzz buzz...
The Radiant Beetle fluttered its wings again and nodded.
"Is that so?" Xiao Yu roughly understood.
Glossy beetles can reproduce, and a normal gestation period for offspring is several days.
If Xiao Yu urgently needs lighting, he can consume energy points to speed up the process.
"Give me 10 Tier 1 beetles first," Xiao Yu ordered the Radiant Beetle again.
As he spoke, he fed the little guy 100 energy points.
Buzz buzz...
The Radiant Beetle trembled violently immediately after consuming the energy point.
Just moments later, it gave birth to ten first-order offspring.
However, if she wants to continue having children, she will have to wait another day or two.
Meanwhile, on the city wall of Dragon City.
"Brothers, we're about to enter the city of ruins. There are many powerful people here, and the light on the city wall is very dim. Everyone be careful! Be on your guard!" Chen Long led a special forces team on patrol on the city wall.
Because of the dim lighting, only all those with visual abnormalities could come up.
However, it was still somewhat difficult, so they had to send more people to the city walls.
Moreover, one must be fully focused and extremely careful.
Such intense concentration naturally leads to greater fatigue.
"Lord City Lord! Deputy Lord City Lord!" At this moment, Chenlong suddenly waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, looked in surprise at the two people who had suddenly appeared in front of them, and bowed respectfully.
"I wonder what brings you two here?" Chenlong asked tentatively.
"I know you can't see clearly at night, so take a look at what this is?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.
As he spoke, he opened his palm, letting a newly born first-order glowing creature fly into the air.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the firefly instantly illuminated an area of 100 meters.
"The light is so intense, Lord City Lord, could it be..." Chenlong asked in surprise and uncertainty.
This amazing glowing insect, could it be...?
“It’s just as you thought. These glowing insects are for lighting,” Xiao Yu nodded with a smile and said gently. “I have 10 here. If you need more, just ask me.”
As he spoke, he used his Crystal Beast ability to condense a crystal light shield the size of 10 human heads, and then placed 10 first-tier glowing insects inside it. In this way, the insects would glow inside, illuminating a radius of 100 meters.
"Thank you for your consideration, Lord City Lord!"
Chenlong expressed his gratitude and then had his men accept the gifts.
soon.
These ten glowing insects replaced the torches.
Now, the soldiers could see the city walls more clearly and farther.
There was no need to double the number of patrols anymore; Chenlong simply sent half of them to sleep.
Without the burning torches, the air in Longcheng was much clearer.
"The glowing effect is quite good; it can be used as a light bulb. Once the Radiant Beetles produce more offspring, we'll put them on the Treasure Pavilion for sale. Speaking of the Treasure Pavilion, we also need to hurry up and finish making this mechanism." Xiao Yu thought to himself as he watched all four city walls light up.
What he does now is prioritize earning energy stones.
There's no way around it, I'm consuming too many energy points every day.
Moreover, he wanted to evolve the ivy as soon as possible.
Only when the ivy evolves to the eighth level will Dragon City's defenses be truly secure.
Late at night, Batu secretly flew over the Dragon Gate Inn and looked around.
Then, a dazzling light suddenly shone on all four city walls.
Even from a distance of thousands of meters, it still feels very bright, and even if someone climbs up, they have nowhere to hide.
"Damn it! This wasn't there when I was sleeping. Where did all these lights come from?" Batu's face turned grim when he saw the city walls brightly lit as if it were daytime.
After all, he had been eyeing the sorghum liquor that Xiao Yu had taken out during the day.
He got up in the middle of the night to see if there was a chance to sneak into the inner city and steal some wine.
But for now, I'd better just wash up and go to bed...
The following morning, the Earth Dragon Turtle continued its journey, following Batu's directions, and quickly made its way to the City of Ruins.
As soon as Xiao Yu arrived at the studio, he saw A Qiu and Dong Dong busy with something, their faces full of smiles.
"What's making you so happy?" Xiao Yu asked curiously, seeing the smiles on the two women's faces.
"Hehe, Lord City Lord!" Dongdong bowed and said with a grin, "Thanks to your advice, we have designed a new mechanism, and the mechanism lock you requested is now complete!"
"Oh? So fast? Let me see the design drawings quickly." Xiao Yu was also delighted.
He quickly took an A3 drawing from the two women and examined it carefully.
His strength is constantly improving, his brain development is astonishing, and he learns everything incredibly fast.
In just a few days, the two sisters, who had been studying diligently for over a decade, had achieved a level of understanding comparable to that of their colleagues in the government.
The two women had previously hit a roadblock in their design work, but Xiao Yu explained some concepts of traps and mechanisms he had seen in movies and television shows in his previous life to them, which helped them gain some understanding.
Now, the two women are filled with admiration for Xiao Yu's talent in mechanical devices.
"Excellent! Truly ingenious, let's make it now!"
The mechanism in this design was primarily for the defense of the Qizhen Pavilion.
After all, it's such a large building, and it contains countless treasures.
Relying on just a few people to guard it is not enough to be secure.
As he spoke, he brought the two women and the materials he had prepared beforehand, and went straight there.
"First, there are the left and right walls. The first wall is equipped with paralyzing, highly poisonous crossbow bolts... The second wall is a trap made of silkworm silk and hallucinogenic powder. Once someone attacks from this side, they will instantly inhale the hallucinogenic powder, see their most feared thing, and then be directly entangled by the silkworm silk..."
Once the two walls are designed, that's the main entrance.
Xiao Yu entrusted Chu Ling Shuang to build the main gate of the Qizhen Pavilion.
A gate, three meters wide and five meters high.
It is forged entirely from extraterrestrial black iron, and its main feature is its incredible defense.
It also contains a poison arrow trap.
Anyone who forces their way through this door will trigger the mechanism.
In an instant, it will be riddled with bullets.
Furthermore, inside the Qizhen Pavilion, various traps and mechanisms were also set up in the hall, corridors, and other places.
The mechanism will close once you enter through the main gate, so there will be no problem.
However, thieves certainly won't go through the main entrance, as that would trigger the trap.
"Not bad! Although the attack isn't strong enough, its ability to trap enemies is absolutely top-notch!" Xiao Yu sent his pet crow into the Treasure Pavilion to explore and found that although the attacks inside weren't strong, their ability to trap enemies was very impressive.
If crows couldn't fly, they might get entangled in silkworm silk and be captured alive.
In other words, the current Qizhen Pavilion already possesses the power to trap a seventh-order being.
"We need to make several more of these mechanisms; the City Lord's Mansion and the Food Tower both need them," Xiao Yu instructed the two sisters after thinking for a moment.
Currently, the main defense of Dragon City still relies on him and his pets.
However, no one can keep their eyes glued to the screen all the time; even tigers sometimes doze off!
If we can install mechanisms in all important areas.
Even if you don't catch the enemy, you can at least get an instant warning.
Moreover, Xiao Yu wanted more than just that.
He wanted to build an invincible fortress, invincible in every way, and indestructible!
"Okay, we'll expedite the production."
"Oh, right, Lord Xiao Yu, we have another gift for you!"
