Chapter 175: Chapter 175
Belissar gulped as the lancers began their dive. He held his breath as they passed into the smoke, and then into the fire. He couldn’t bring himself to watch them burn through his tower sight, so he just froze, not even breathing as they disappeared into the inferno and as a surge of black flames shot into the sky.
And then…the black flames began to die down. Two lancers pulled out of the fire from either side.
And then…finally…Belissar caught a glimpse of the other three. Burned and smoking, but still flying. He finally exhaled his breath and nearly fell to the ground, placing his hand on the wall of the Bee Barracks to steady himself.
And then, a moment later, he felt the Tower’s mana surging.
Expansion successful.
Reward: Floor limit increased to 4. Receive one perk choice, and two random reward choices.
He allowed himself a small smile.
“So, what does everyone think?”
The bees immediately replied with “whatever King chooses!” while Chief Rohsuak chuckled.
“I think you already have a plan, don’t you?”
Belissar stared at her, then sighed and nodded. Well, since she had him figured out already and the bees didn’t have a preference for the choices, he might as well go with his own desires. He now had another floor with three more rooms to work with. So, he very much wanted to build a fire room for the mini-volcano and the Third of the Sixth. However, he had noticed by now that he didn’t always get the choices he wanted when he wanted them. So, his plan this time was to pick one room choice…and if he didn’t get anything suitable for a fire room to possibly pick a second. And even in the worst case where he didn’t get what he wanted, he’d at least have two new rooms to fill up the new room slots with. His DP was nearly at three thousand, so he’d then be able to buy a new monster or a couple of new room features on that front. Well, if he had the option of a rare monster or room feature he might have gone with that, but he did not so that was a moot point. 𝐑ἈΝՕꞖΕṣ
With no objections, he went ahead and enacted his plan.
Uncommon Room Choiceselected.
Please select a room:
- Lava Field(Rarity: Uncommon, Type: Fire, Field)
- Hedge Maze (Rarity: Common, Type: Nature, Labyrinth)
- Fungal Tunnels (Rarity: Uncommon, Type: Ground, Fungi, Labyrinth, Resource)
Belissar couldn’t help but crack a smile as he read the first option highlighted in bright red. He guessed the God of Fire approved of his current plans. Still, he at least read out the descriptions of the options.
Innate Features: Lava Flows
Description: An open area where lava flows both on and beneath the surface. Newly formed rock creates a bumpy and shifting surface, which can be hazardous given the lava flowing about…or bursting out from a seemingly solid crust.
“Lava is…what’s in volcanoes, right?”
Chief Rohsuak nodded.
“It’s actually a type of liquid stone, so hot even rock has melted into a river of liquid fire.”
Belissar couldn’t help but glance at the Third of the Sixth, who was fidgeting and dancing about. So…a room that was practically a volcano already, filled with rivers of liquid fire? Belissar didn’t know much about volcanoes but he couldn’t have imagined a better room for his current purposes.
“So, um, anyone want to hear about the others? Fungal Tunnels? They’re, um, tunnels…with fungi. Mushrooms and stuff…”
Chief Rohsuak just gave him an amused smile. The digging queen actually looked a little interested in the Fungal Tunnels but, well, at this point the bees also knew what he was going to choose. The Third of the Sixth was struggling not to break out into a happy dance. And Belissar wasn’t going to disappoint her.
Lava Field is now available.
