Chapter 157 Mock Dungeon War (3)
With just this one move, there was no need for Chronos to say anything since it made it clear who he was supporting.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth had asked him who he was supporting to see if he could bring him to this side, but he never thought that he would shoot himself in the foot like this.
This was just pushing the neutral and friendly factions together, allowing them to fight his aggressive faction together.
True Dragon Lord Astaroth was silent for a bit before asking, "Are you sure of your choice? Even if he is a dungeon master, the dungeon core he's partnered with wasn't born that long ago. He might disappoint you in the end."
Chronos just said with a casual look, "Is that so? I still feel that this side is better."
True Dragon Lord Astaroth deeply knitted his brows at this, but he didn't say anything else on this matter. He just gave a cold snort before turning and saying, "Then don't regret your choice."
But he immediately stumbled when he heard what Chronos said.
"We still haven't decided the terms of the bet yet."
Luckily True Dragon Lord Astaroth caught himself at the last moment and stood firm. He turned his head and asked, "Then what do you want to bet?"
Chronos acted like he had to think for a bit before saying, "How about that fire jade that you have?"
True Dragon Lord Astaroth had a trace of anger appear in his eyes when he heard this. He gave a strong snort that released a plume of smoke before saying, "Chronos, don't go too far."historical
Chronos gave a shrug and said, "What, you can't afford to bet?"
True Dragon Lord Astaroth gave another plume of smoke in anger and then said, "Fine! But if I win, I want that watch of yours!"
Chronos gave a nod and said, "Alright." Then he said with a smile, "I'll have to thank you for the fire jade ahead of time."
True Dragon Lord Astaroth looked like he had just eaten a pile of garbage as he roared, "You!"
But remembering who he was in front of, he forced himself to swallow his anger and calm down. He then took a deep breath before saying, "You will eat those words in the future."
Then he immediately went back to his own faction out of fear that he would be angered to death by these two. All at the same time, the two of them just looked at him with sly smiles on their faces.
Lin Fan on the other hand had a bitter smile on his face.
He didn't want to stand out since he knew that it wouldn't be a good thing for him to stand out, but these two were giving him no other choice.
Haku saw this look on his face and said, "You don't need to worry about anything, it's fine if you lose. But I would rather see you win to put that arrogant pompous man in his place."
Lin Fan shook his head with the same bitter smile before saying, "You're quite the sly person aren't you? You're even trying to use guilt tactics on me like this."
Haku just smiled without saying a thing.
Lin Fan ignored her and turned to Chronos to say, "We haven't met before, but you're willing to bet on me like this. Am I really worth that much to you?"
Chronos shook his head before saying, "I don't know anything about you so I can't tell what you are worth to me."
But then he looked at Lin Fan intently and said, "But the title of dungeon master carries quite a bit of weight. So consider it a price that I'm willing to pay to befriend someone like you."
Lin Fan was confused because he could see a kind of different emotion in the look that Chronos had. It was almost as if he was looking at him like he was someone else...
But Lin Fan naturally wasn't able to see through him since he didn't know Chronos well enough.
As they were about to head back to the battlefield, Haku suddenly said, "How about I lend you a few hero units? I'm sure that Astaroth will be doing the same, so I should at least give you this option."
Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this and said, "There's no need, my design doesn't need hero units."
Haku raised a brow and had a look that seemed like she clearly didn't believe it. After all, she had already seen Lin Fan's design through the screen in this spectator's area.
Although she didn't completely understand what his design was, she was still certain that it wouldn't be enough to stop the powerful hero units that True Dragon Lord Astaroth was planning on giving dungeon core 627. But since Lin Fan was this confident, there really wasn't anything else that she could say since forcing him to take them would just make things worse.
So she just gave a nod and said, "Alright, then do your best. Even if you can't win, it doesn't matter as long as you come back safely."
Lin Fan was surprised how she was treating him and he couldn't help looking at her with a bit of doubt in his eyes.
Haku naturally knew what he was thinking, but she chose not to say anything as she walked away with a smile.
With this interlude done, Lin Fan was teleported back to his dungeon.
This was a very simple dungeon that only had two floors, but Lin Fan was certain that it would be enough to take down anyone that attacked him. Well, that was if they had the same amount of DP as him.
As soon as the start signal was given, the first thing Lin Fan did was send out the scouts.
Since they were just small animals, the rats that he bought barely cost him any DP. In total, it only cost him 50 DP to buy a total of a thousand rats.
Of course this was still more expensive than normal. Normally it would only cost 10 DP to buy these rats.
However, these rats were special since they had increased resistance to cold, so they were fine in this ice battlefield.
But something that surprised him was that even though these were rats that had been summoned by the dungeon system, Greeny was still able to inject them with seeds, so they could be controlled by Greeny.
So Greeny was able to control these rats even though it wasn't a hero unit or a summon from the dungeon.
But of course, there was still a problem with that. Greeny only had a certain distance that it could maintain contact with its puppets and this was a large battlefield. Once the rat puppets got far away, Greeny wouldn't be able to contact them anymore.
Or at least, that would have been a problem if it wasn't for the new skill that Greeny got.
It was a new type of parasite seed, but it wasn't any normal parasite seed. This new type of parasite seed was like a signal tower, so it would allow Greeny to connect to any puppets in the area around this signal tower parasite seed.
To put it simply, this technique was like creating a clone and using that clone to link up to the main body.
Of course, there was a limit to how many clones could be made since each clone was made with a portion of Greeny's soul. So if there were too many clones made, Greeny's soul would be split into too many pieces and would collapse.
Right now, Greeny's limit was only three of these clones, but that was more than enough for Lin Fan's plan.
It didn't take long at all for Lin Fan to find the other dungeon, but he didn't mount his attack. Instead, he sent a signal and waited for the other side to make their move.
Since he had found the enemy's base, he was able to leave one group of scouts to watch over the enemy while he had the other two groups follow the tracks left in the snow to find the enemy's scouts. Luckily it wasn't snowing, so the tracks didn't fade and Lin Fan's rats were able to easily find the scouts.
Based on their location, they should be able to find his dungeon quite soon. However, that was all part of Lin Fan's plan.
He didn't plan on hiding in the first place, he wanted the enemy to attack him.
That was because if the enemy attacked him, they would have to send out their troops and weaken their defenses. He needed them to have as few troops as possible for his plan to work.
So he actually wanted his enemy to send all their troops to attack him.
But of course, for that to work, he would need a powerful defense system that could withstand all these attacks.
After all, the minions summoned by dungeon core 627 were by no means weak.
Even the weakest among them were in the Seventh Qi Gathering Realm and the leaders were in the Foundation Realm.
Lin Fan had been able to sneak in a few rats to dungeon core 627's dungeon to find out this information.
However, he was confident that the defense system that he had designed would be able to hold them.
All he needed now was for them to find his dungeon.
Since he didn't hide his dungeon, that happened not long after. Soon, dungeon core 627's forces were headed out to attack his dungeon.
Lin Fan welcomed them all with a smile on his face.
