Tower Defense Survival: I Defend the Whole Country Alone!

Chapter 36: Mysterious Ruins

Pierce walked on the path through the forest. The mottled light shone through the sparse leaves and scattered on the ground, reflecting the trail ahead.

Pierce put away the golden evolution potion and took out a map from his backpack. He then bought a blueprint that could update the map automatically from the shop.

After two battles, Pierce had over a thousand Tower Defense points and unique points.

Especially the reward from the eight-headed serpent. Although it was only a remnant shadow, the reward he received was comparable to the sum of all the monsters in the past.

Indeed, the rewards of a mythical creature were far beyond that of ordinary creatures.

Vivier had obtained the prize for one against a hundred, and it was naturally recorded in Pierce’s account.

And the people far away on the blue planet were amazed at seeing the battle. This was because they had never seen such a rescue operation in history or in documentaries.

In fact, they had never seen anyone from a country discover another country’s city. It was beyond normal.

This time, many people were in a good mood when they watched the Tower Defense Survival.

But at the same time, there were also many people who were filled with grievances.

It was the same sentence. Why Pierce wasn’t from their country.

No one knew how this useless and seemingly retarded comment became popular. It even gradually became a meme.

In the eyes of some people, this saying was simply a sign of incompetence. If you want to blame someone, blame your own participants for being incompetent. Why blame Pierce for not being from your side?

Just like that, comments and trending topics were created constantly.

Following the golden hint, Pierce found a small path hidden in the dense forest. According to the golden hint, if he took this path, he would encounter a strange ruin.

Pierce glanced up at the sun which had moved to the center of the sky. The glare made him squint his eyes.

He was still quite a distance away from Country M’s city.

However, since he discovered an unknown ruin in front of him, he could only delay the return trip and try to return before dark.

Of course, he wasn’t too worried.

After all, there were two rows of peashooters planted in front of his city gate, as well as elemental arrow towers that could shoot automatically.

Normal creatures did not dare to go near.

Even this time’s level 4 creature, the Hell Leopard, had to think carefully about whether it was worth it.

Just like that, Pierce chose to go to the ruins.

He nodded at Vivier.

Vivier instantly understood.

Her light golden eyes looked at the entrance blocked by thick green vines.

Golden light condensed in midair. Before long, a golden rune sword appeared.

Pierce realized that Vivier really liked using greatswords to open a path and fight.

It seemed to be a tradition left behind by the bloodline of the battle angel.

Two gorgeous sword lights flashed. The vines were neatly cut into a rectangular entrance.

There were even burnt marks on the broken vines caused by the golden sword.

Pierce was very interested in the greatsword. But Vivier just looked at him impassively at Pierce’s request.

Neither spoke.

She did not even pull out the sword.

It looked like Pierce had misunderstood her.

If he were to grip the sword without any preparation, his hand would probably be crippled.

That kind of temperature was not something an ordinary person like him could control.

Pierce watched Vivier think for a moment before handing him the greatsword. Startled, Pierce shook his hand and quickly refused.

What a joke.

If he touched the greatsword, he would be like Zenus today, losing one arm.

Seeing Pierce shake his head, Vivier turned her sword into light and withdrew it.

Only the vines, which were still smoking, remained.

Pierce led Vivier and Griffin up the path to the ruins.

On both sides of the path were dense trees without any gap between them. It looked like thick walls.

Maybe because no one had been here for a long time, the path was filled with thick vines and weeds.

With no other choice, Pierce could only let Vivier open the path.

Vivier impatiently summoned her golden sword again.

The sword slashed again and again.

Pierce, who was standing behind Vivier, could feel a wave of heat wash over him.

It was simply too terrifying.

The weeds and vines on the road were chopped down by the huge golden sword and burned into ashes.

Even the surrounding wooden walls were charred.

Just then—

[There is a trap a hundred meters ahead. Please pay attention, it would be best if there is a ladder.]

A trap?

A ladder?

Pierce immediately thought of pit traps.

He quickly pulled Vivier who was moving slowly to prevent her from going into the trap.

A hundred meters was neither too far nor too close.

Without time and equipment, it was difficult to estimate the distance of 100 meters.

After all, he did not study engineering in university.

Fortunately, Pierce had a radar. Through the X-axis coordinates, he could clearly mark the location.

He calculated the distance between them and the trap.

The two of them slowly moved forward.

In front, the greatsword was still carrying out the task of removing the weeds dedicatedly.

Soon, they reached the location of the trap. It did not look any different from other areas.

Pierce sank into thought.

If he did not have Vivier to scout the path, it would be a nightmare.

While he was thinking, Vivienne conjured a large bow.

A golden arrow appeared and was shot.

The trap exploded.

It was a deep pit-like trap.

It was about seven to eight meters deep, and was filled with stone spikes that protruded outwards. It was a spike trap.

Unless his eyes deceived him, Pierce saw many white objects in this trap.
