Free Web NovelChapter 104: Chapter 49: Making Use of Waste_2
"Huh?"
But as soon as she stood on the high platform, she saw a strange scene.
There were 12 cat-headed and dog-headed humanoids, half kneeling on the wall.
These guys were Ree Shil’s level 2 summoned Follower cards, so she wasn’t surprised.
What was strange was that they were all holding...a giant metal crossbow!
Upon closer inspection, these were the same things that the mechanical dogs were carrying before!
[Listen to my command! Aim!]
The Double Headed Captain raised a single arm below the high platform and swung it down violently.
[Fire!]
Whoosh! xN
A barrage of crossbow arrows was shot out.
This volley took down at least 5 mechanical dogs.
[Everyone, reload!]
The Double Headed Captain continued to give orders, and the team members turned around to pick up the mountain-like pile of crossbow arrows nearby.
"Such a clever move!"
Show Director understood.
At this time, the others also climbed out of the tunnel.
"How is it, Coach Shil, my modified crossbows are not bad, right?"
Sweeper Machine 2 looked at Ree Shil.
Modifying these metal mechanical crossbows was simply a piece of cake for it.
Unfortunately, its card player’s talent was related to this.
It was the Instance-specific [Metal Remodeling].
When in the Instance, the metal structure of items could be changed rapidly to a certain extent.
Under Ree Shil’s instruction, it modified the relatively intact crossbow arrows left by the previous wave of mechanical dogs.
Turning them into crossbows that could be controlled by pulling the trigger.
The mechanical dogs’ crossbow bolts could only be fired once because they had a limited carrying capacity and couldn’t carry more large crossbow bolts.
But it was different for them, as they had as many crossbow arrows as they needed.
"Indeed impressive."
Watching his own team still firing volleys, Ree Shil nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, not only were the newbies given crossbows, but even the Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit, Guard Team Deputy, and other Follower cards, as long as they had fingers to pull the trigger, were also given a crossbow.
Anyway, just standing still before the enemy arrives would be a waste, so why not make haste to attack a few waves?
The most pitiful of them all was Ghostfire-Youth.
Under Ree Shil’s orders, he was forced to get off the Modified Electric Car and join the archery team.
Even his beloved modified electric car had been commandeered by the Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit as a cover, now riddled with holes.
"Let me join in the fun!"
Show Director got excited and picked up a spare mechanical crossbow from the ground, then pulled a crossbow arrow from the body of the Straw Man.
"Grass, be gentle."
Straw Man expressed his dissatisfaction at this act.
However, someone who was even faster than her was Ree Shil.
He had already picked up a crossbow, had one foot on the wall, tilted his head and squinted one eye to aim.
Whoosh... clang!
The crossbow arrow accurately hit a mechanical dog’s core, immediately paralyzing it and causing it to fall to the ground.
"This is a handy weapon!"
Ree Shil’s eyes lit up upon hitting the target.
This thing was much more useful than a gun, as it wouldn’t misfire.
"Good idea, Stanley!"
At the other side, Show Director also successfully shot down a mechanical dog.
At her indication, everyone else hurriedly picked up crossbows and tried to inflict as much damage as possible before the enemy closed in.
In the end, the mechanical dogs that could charge at the defensive line before this wave weren’t even half as strong as before and posed no threat. freewebnσvel.cøm
"This broken thing can’t even hit the target! Cute Mushroom!"
Clang!
At the end of the second wave of enemies, everyone looked at Ree Shil and Sweeper Machine 2 with approving gazes, except for the frustrated Mossy Mushroom throwing his crossbow.
During the last wave, the core crystal had been sneakily attacked by the mechanical dogs and lost 5 points of energy. However, this wave didn’t see such an occurrence.
Only a few crossbow arrows that weren’t blocked hit the energy shield.
After two waves, the current energy field value was [983/1000].
And so, the situation continued smoothly.
From the 3rd to the 9th wave, all consisted of mechanical dogs.
"Alright, collect all the cards."
However, after clearing the 9th wave of cards, Show Director gave them this odd command, which puzzled Ree Shil.
Their defensive lineup had already stabilized after the previous few waves and only required minor adjustments. Why would they want to retract all the cards?
Could it be that they planned to completely rearrange the lineup?
Apart from him, the other teammates who hadn’t experienced the tower defense instance also had a confused look on their faces.
"It’s a mini BOSS. A mini BOSS is coming."
Secretary Brown understood their confusion.
Upon his prompt, everyone looked at the panel.
Indeed, the countdown this time started at 20 minutes, and there was also a skull symbol next to it.
"We’ll play it by ear during the BOSS battle. After it appears, we’ll adapt and play our follower cards depending on the situation."
Show Director explained the reason behind it.
"So that’s why."
Ree Shil suddenly understood and became a bit excited.
The mechanical dogs from the previous waves were insignificant; he wanted to see if the BOSS might be more interesting.
However, before the 20-minute time limit was reached, more specifically, just after 5 minutes, Sweeper Machine 2 made a discovery.
"Look, the BOSS seems to be coming!"
It pointed towards the horizon, and that was the edge of the yellow loess land within their sight.
"Looks like it’s a mechanical dog."
Ree Shil squinted and could roughly see a blurred silhouette.
At this moment, the silhouette stood still in the same spot as if waiting for the time limit to attack.
"This is probably the special mechanism of Instance, which would let us see the type of BOSS and the direction of its appearance in advance."
Show Director explained this while noticing Ree Shil’s eagerness.
"Don’t think about it. If I guessed it right, there will be an air wall over there."
"It’s impossible to decrease the BOSS’s health in advance."
She exposed Ree Shil’s thoughts.
"Is that so."
In fact, even if she said so, Ree Shil still wanted to try it personally.
So he took out [Water Sprinkler Truck], opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat.
"Is there anyone who wants to come with me and have a look?"
He poked his head out of the window.
"..."x2
Straw Man and Mossy Mushroom immediately avoided eye contact.
"Gaga gaga!"
Jumping Uncle seemed very interested, hopping in place, and raising his hand.
"Uncle, come on up; I’ll take you for a ride."
Ree Shil generously patted the co-pilot’s seat.
Om!
At this moment, a red light suddenly descended from the sky and sprinkled onto the ground.
The light connected to the Core Crystal on one end and stretched far away, connecting to the BOSS’s feet at the other end.
"Alright, the direction and route of the BOSS have been determined."
"Wait for the cooldown of the follower cards, and then we can build the defense line."
The curator waved her hand, signaling everyone to rest in place first.
"Alright, we’ll be back soon."
Ree Shil signaled Jumping Uncle to fasten his seatbelt.

So a trail of dust was churned up, and the melodious music raced across the yellow loess land.
The natural terrain’s uneven road condition, with potholes and stones, made it an uneven ride.
As if to showcase his driving skills, Ree Shil would turn the steering wheel to avoid even the tiniest stones or potholes.
However, these maneuvers often resulted in the wheels crushing larger objects.
Anyway, his driving was both evasive and shaky.
At high speed, the bumpy experience made Ree Shil feel like the car was about to take off at any moment.
It felt comfortable, very comfortable.
"Ugh!!!"
But Jumping Uncle’s head was already hanging out the window, and he started vomiting.
The BOSS was far away from the lookout post, but the water sprinkler truck moved quickly, so it didn’t take more than a minute or two for Ree Shil to get to the BOSS.
Jie~~~~!
Stopping the car, Ree Shil walked towards the BOSS.
It was indeed as the curator said, there was an air wall at the boundary of the instance.
At this time, the BOSS was dazedly standing there, seemingly unaware of their arrival.
This guy’s appearance was similar to a mechanical dog, but it had six legs, lacked the crossbow arrow on its back, and had a genuine mechanical dog head without the bayonet. Its sharp teeth seemed to possess strong tearing and biting power. freewёbnoνel.com
Its stature was huge, with a 3-meter-tall body, almost as large as the [Giant Zombie Beast].
