T0-Level Support!

[Flame Outpost].

"Don't skimp! Plant all those [Biological Beacons] in the ground—bring more!"

Feng Xing Tian Xia's voice exploded across the command channel.

At the outpost's central plaza, several players were violently driving three fleshy spheres radiating a soft white glow into the earth.

[Item: Biological Beacon (Pluripotent Stem Cell · Undifferentiated)]

[Cost: 5,000 Bio-Energy]

[Description: A concentration of Titan vitality. Once implanted into Divine Body Tissue, it can differentiate into a Micro Hub, providing respawn, teleportation, and supply functions.]

The enemy was bearing down with overwhelming force, and the players didn't hesitate to pull out their biggest trump card—respawn!

"Whoom—"

The beacons hit the ground, instantly taking root and sprouting.

White filamentous tendrils spread across the surface at a visible pace, and three beacons, each five meters tall, shot up. These cheap strongholds, costing only 5,000 Bio-Energy, were the backbone of the Fourth Calamity's confidence in building defenses under such extreme conditions!

"Respawn point activated!"

"Brothers! We've laid out our coffin savings! Die, count down, respawn, and keep fighting!"

From a bird's-eye view, massive numbers of Blue Slimes were frantically absorbing the encroaching heat waves—one of the few methods currently available to directly clear the high-temperature terrain!

Casual players were pulling their weight!

Facing the surging tide of [Blue Flame Parasites] ahead, the players displayed an astonishing mania for infrastructure.

Flesh Artisans scrambled frantically, while Venom Rangers struggled to apply poisons.

"Here's yours! And yours! Finish yours, then do yours!"

Countless barricades, turrets, and trenches were constructed, with traps and toxic substances laid thick around the outpost.

Tower defense game, activated!

On the walls, every five meters stood a [Biochemical Mortar] assembled from monster bones and acid glands.

This was the proud creation of the Flesh Artisans and Venom Rangers working together!

"Ready—fire!"

The Mage Corps leader of the Imperial Dynasty Guild gave the order.

Boom, boom, boom!

Hundreds of biological shells packed with highly concentrated corrosive liquid tore through the sky, slamming into the blue insect tide. Acid burst, sending up plumes of white smoke. While they couldn't one-shot these thick-skinned monsters, they successfully slowed their charge. Many parasites writhed in agony, smoke rising from their bodies.

Below the walls, the Dragon War Guild had set up a meat-grinder defense line.

Hundreds of [Flame Prison Guards] activated their anti-fire auras, forming a wall with Tower Shields, backed by a large number of [Steel Bastions]. In the gaps of the shield wall, countless metal spikes crackling with electric arcs extended outward—those were [Tesla Coils] built jointly by Thunder Lords and Flesh Artisans.

"Zzzap—!"

Massive Chain Lightning leaped through the monster horde, each jump stripping away chunks of damage numbers.

Combined with the [Slow Mucus Net] traps, the entire outpost became a precisely operating slaughterhouse.

"Hell yeah! This is what tower defense is all about!"

"Awesome! Flesh Artisans got MVP!"

A player manning a [Bone Gatling Gun] shouted in excitement, his weapon spitting out poisoned bone shards nonstop, "Come on! Let's see how many lives you've got to throw in!"

But the excitement didn't last long.

[System Warning: Ambient temperature exceeds 400°C!]

[Warning: Oxygen-rich Blue Flame has "Armor-Melting" properties! Defense structure durability dropping rapidly!]

"Crack..."

A sharp sound.

The Bone Gatling Gun that had just been firing away suddenly had its barrel turn red, soften, and then bend like a candle.

Then, the outpost's pride—the Obsidian Wall built from Flame Demon corpses—began to melt under the sustained burn of the Blue Flame!

"Can't hold it! This fire is too damn weird!"

Dragon Fighting in the Wild was at the front line. His mecha's surface coating had completely peeled off, armor value dropping like water, "This Blue Fire not only burns HP, it burns equipment durability too! Healers can't keep up!"

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"

Even worse, these Blue Flame Parasites seemed to wear an invisible armor of flame.

When players' attacks hit them, most of the damage was evaporated and nullified by that high-temperature Blue Flame shield.

Melee players couldn't even get close!

"Damage is only 30% of normal!" Data Maniac's data panel flashed red across the board, "Their Blue Flame Shield is too thick—physical and magic resistance are ridiculously high! We're just scratching them!"

The [Ancient Guard Corps] ahead let out agonized roars.

Even the thick-skinned Macrophage Giants had their epidermis rapidly carbonizing when wrapped in Blue Fire. Though they frantically devoured enemies to recover HP, their regen couldn't keep up with the damage tick.

"No. 704! Pull your people back now!" Zhao Kuo roared. "Stop eating, or you'll cook yourself!"

"Fall back?" Chen Feng glanced at the Resurrection Tower behind them. "Where to? This is the last line. If we lose it, we're starting over from the Bronchiole."

"Then what? Tough it out?"

Tian Ce checked his nearly depleted mana. "The monster tide is endless. We'll be ground down."

Just as the defense line teetered and several towers exploded in succession—

[System Alert: High-risk infection source detected.]

[Immune System Responding...]

[Reinforcement Request: Approved.]

[Deployed Unit: Leukocyte Legion - Silver Wing Sentinel.]

A silver rain began to fall from the sky.

Countless silver streams seeped through the vessel walls.

They landed and took form—hundreds of warriors wielding light spears, clad in fluid armor.

[NPC Legion: Silver Wing Sentinel]

[Level: LV.20]

[Count: 5000]

This was no small squad reinforcement. This was a true legion descending.

Five thousand Silver Wing Sentinels raised their light spears in unison, the electronic eyes in their visors gleaming with cold blue light.

"By Titan's command—purge the filth!"

Hum—!

Five thousand light spears flared.

Attack!

[AOE: Potent Enzymolysis]

Armor Stripping!

No earth-shattering explosions—only precise white beams lancing into the sea of Blue Flame insects.

A miracle unfolded.

Those parasites, once invincible with their high-temperature Blue Flame Shields, had their flames extinguished like doused embers the moment the beams struck.

Then their hard chitin shells softened, decomposed, and turned into brittle gray husks.

[System Alert: Silver Wing Sentinel applied "Enzymolysis" status!]

[Effect: Enemy all-attribute resistance zeroed! Armor value zeroed! Blue Flame Shield disabled! Duration: 60 seconds!]

"Holy crap! Armor stripped!"

"He Yiwei, NPCs are this insane?"

Zhao Kuo smashed down with his hammer—a hit that used to barely scratch an Elite Monster now made its head explode like a watermelon.

"This is way too strong!"

The players erupted.

Say a player dealt 1200 damage, and the monster had 1000 armor—that's only 200 damage per hit.

Silver Wing Sentinels removed the armor entirely, effectively multiplying player damage sixfold!

It was like handing the entire server a super BUFF that turned every hit into true damage!

"You seeing this, bros?!"

Feng Xing Tian Xia stood up in his battered Mecha, raising his chipped Chainsaw Blade.

"The NPCs peeled the turtles' shells off!"

"If you can't win with a scripted kill, just go to bed!"

The crumbling defense line surged back.

Steel Torrent and the Silver Legion merged, charging into the endless Blue Flame in a desperate assault.

Players dealt damage, Sentinels stripped armor, Ancients tanked, and swarms of pets cleaned up the hazardous environment.

Perfect synergy.
