Vigus and Wu Feng could communicate quickly, similar to text interaction. After some thought, Wu Feng made a decision.
"Let's lure the Goblin boss over first! If we encounter a better boss, we can let this one go and deal with the other."
Wu Feng chose a more conservative strategy, and Vigus immediately followed his orders to start attracting the Goblin leader closer.
That was a Level 9 Elite Monster, which could only be considered a Green minor boss, not a proper boss.
True bosses are beings of Fine Quality or higher, meaning Blue Bosses, Purple Bosses, and so on.
Elites below Level 9 were perfectly within Vigus's Pure Desire Seduction range. Vigus beckoned the Goblin Warrior with her finger, and the drooling LSP obediently followed behind her.
"This Goblin Warrior is so disgusting. Why is he still drooling after I controlled him..." Vigus looked at the dull-eyed Goblin Warrior holding a Wolf Tooth Club while drooling, her face filled with disgust.
Why does this guy look so dull and foolish, even worse than a normal Goblin? If it weren't for the Lord's command, she would have really wanted to finish him off with a few Fireballs!
Vigus was extremely disdainful of the Goblin Warrior, so she turned her gaze to the Goblin Camp: "Lord, do I need to destroy this Goblin Camp?"
Wu Feng thought for a moment before giving the order: "No need to rush to destroy the camp for now. You retreat to the Star Cluster Tower's attack range; I'm preparing to use a Special Item."
If it weren't for the Star Cluster Tower and Vigus, Wu Feng would have immediately destroyed a Monster Lair like this Goblin Camp upon discovery, as it was a huge threat.
But now, he was thinking about using the Goblin Camp to gain a bit more resources, since the Star Cluster Tower alone was enough to solo this Goblin Camp.
Even the Level 9 Goblin Warrior wasn't enough for the Star Cluster Tower to grind; a Monster Lair right at the doorstep could become a stable resource source. One Magic Crystal per Goblin could accumulate quite a bit of benefit.
Vigus followed the Lord's instructions, flapping her Demon Wings to fly to the grid where the Star Cluster Tower was located. Vigus curiously looked up and down at the Star Cluster Tower, even flying to its spire.
Wu Feng nodded. He took out a Challenge Token, which was his path to obtaining more resources.
Challenge Token: Excellent Quality. Upon use, it can activate a Magic Crystal Challenge ( Normal Difficulty ). For one hour, you will face a challenge from a large number of Demonic Monsters, with a chance for a Demonic Monster Boss to appear. If the challenge is successfully passed, you will receive 500 Magic Crystals and 2 Challenge Points ( which can be used for the Challenge Lottery ).
Items like the Challenge Token can initiate various challenges, such as Magic Crystal Challenges, Treasure Chest Challenges, Resource Challenges, and Boss Challenges.
As long as the challenge is completed, corresponding rewards and Challenge Points are obtained. The Magic Crystal Challenge rewards a large number of Magic Crystals, the Treasure Chest Challenge rewards Treasure Chest Keys, and so on.
Challenge Points are a Special Privilege, similar to Prestige Value. The Lord interface has a dedicated Challenge Shop where items can be purchased or lotteries can be drawn using Challenge Points.
Considering the possibility of One Shot Soul Infusion, Wu Feng prioritizes using obtained Challenge Points and Prestige Value for the Lottery Draw, as both draws fall under the Special Privilege category.
"Let's begin! Vigus, you are responsible for dealing with the Demonic Monsters coming from the direction of the Goblin Camp. The Star Cluster Tower will handle enemies from other directions. If you are under too much pressure, I will support you!"
Wu Feng reminded the Holy Succubus. The Succubus Maiden blinked her big eyes: "Lord, don't worry, I won't let a single enemy slip by!"
After making preparations, Wu Feng activated the Challenge Token. It transformed into a beam of light and merged into the Lord's Heart. Wu Feng's Lord's Heart then generated a massive attraction force towards nearby Demonic Monsters, drawing all Demonic Monsters within a 1-kilometer radius toward him.
The first place to change was the Goblin Camp. The spawn rate of this Monster Lair accelerated, and several Goblins immediately spawned and rushed into the Star Cluster Tower's Range.
Just as Vigus raised her hand, a beam of light flashed from the Star Cluster Tower's spire, eliminating all 6 Goblins. Wu Feng gained 30 Experience Points.
After just a few waves like that, Vigus didn't even get a chance to act; the Star Cluster Tower was sufficient to clear all the Goblins.
Vigus pouted aggrievedly: "The Star Cluster Tower has a longer Range than me; I don't even get a chance to attack!"
Wu Feng used the Star Cluster Tower's vision to survey the entire Territory. He was actually controlling the Star Cluster Tower now, and he quickly spotted Demonic Monsters approaching from other directions.
Several Skeleton Soldiers slowly approached from the west. The Repeating Crossbow Tower immediately attacked, instantly killing one Skeleton Soldier with a single shot. Firing two shots per second, the Skeleton Soldiers were all dead before they could even enter Wu Feng's Territory.
With two Defense Towers of decent quality, using a Green Quality Challenge Token, Wu Feng truly faced no pressure.
As more Demonic Monsters arrived from multiple directions, Vigus finally had opportunities to deal damage, but she still had to compete with the Star Cluster Tower for kills. This caused Vigus to secretly view the Star Cluster Tower as a 'Competitor' while muttering to herself.
"A mere Defense Tower dares to try and steal my spot! I can't lose! I am the most Excellent Succubus!" Vigus secretly encouraged herself, and the speed at which she gained Experience Points was not slow.
Wu Feng watched the Star Cluster Tower and Vigus grind for 50 minutes, eyeing the piles of Magic Crystals and other dropped items with envy.
He was sure to gain quite a bit after the challenge ended; this Challenge Token was truly useful!
Just as he was thinking this, Vigus suddenly let out a joyful cheer: "Great, the big one is finally here!"
Wu Feng immediately looked in Vigus's direction. A tall and sturdy Goblin emerged from the Goblin Camp—a Level 12 Goblin Chieftain, a Blue Boss!
Vigus was happy because a boss meant she could show off her strength, while Wu Feng was happy because boss drops were generally good.
Just then, another strange noise came from the Northwest Direction. Wu Feng noticed a group of Little Demons rushing into the Star Cluster Tower's attack range.
"A Demon Lair nearby? Little Demons actually appeared?" Wu Feng's eyebrows shot up; he was somewhat surprised.
Although Little Demons are the lowest-tier Demons, unlike Demonic Monsters like Goblins and Gnolls that have undergone Demonization through Erosion by Abyss Aura, they are genuine Demons.
In the Endless Abyss, they are the most adaptable beings, and their Attributes are significantly stronger than Demonic Monsters of the same level. These are just normal Demons; if the Seventh Day Calamity Alien Races Advent, and Abyss Demons appear, those will be the true Overlords of the Abyss.
Abyss Demons receive Attribute boosts for all Attributes in the Endless Abyss, making them the most difficult enemies to deal with.
The appearance of Little Demons now suggests a high probability of a Demon Lair, which is much more dangerous than a Goblin Camp.
"Lord, it's just a group of low-level Demons; I don't even deign to look at them!" Vigus proudly whipped her tail.
Wu Feng decisively ordered: "Star Cluster Tower, deal with the Little Demons first. Vigus, you go handle the Goblin Chieftain."
The drop rate for targets killed by a Hero is affected by the Hero's Hidden Attribute Luck Value, generally resulting in a higher drop rate than enemies killed by Tower Defense.
Wu Feng obtained this information from his Senior Female Student Su Mu. Being attentive to detail, he naturally assigned Vigus to deal with the boss. With the Goblin Warrior tanking, dealing with a Blue Boss shouldn't be an issue.
The Star Cluster Tower's first volley instantly killed over a dozen Little Demons, but it was as if they had Struck a Hornet's Nest, as another wave of Little Demons immediately rushed out.
With Vigus's Chain Lightning Cooldown Time, she truly couldn't quickly clear a large number of Little Demons. The Star Cluster Tower, however, had no such worries, achieving 16 kills per second—tell me, are you scared!
Little Demons are also known for being gregarious; they often move out in large swarms. This wave of Little Demons was relentless, numbering several hundred.
Fortunately, the Star Cluster Tower's firepower was fierce, managing to eliminate all of them.
Wu Feng nodded secretly: "It seems the difficulty of the Challenge Token is also related to the environment around the Territory. If there are Advanced Grade Monster Lairs, even a low-difficulty challenge will indirectly increase the difficulty."
"For me, the more Little Demons, the better!"
The Star Cluster Tower cleared this large wave of Little Demons, and Vigus's battle also concluded. She had the Goblin Warrior tank the boss while she focused all her output.
When the Goblin Warrior was down to 1/4 Health Points, they finally defeated the Goblin Chieftain.
Looking at the battered and bruised Goblin Warrior, Vigus finally found him slightly more tolerable: "Even though you look uglier from being beaten, since you proved somewhat useful, I'll let you keep following me!"
Wu Feng's gaze fell upon the dead Goblin Chieftain: "Vigus leveled up to 2, and I also leveled up to 2. Plus, I got a Green Building Blueprint—this luck is really good!"
