The battle on the first floor of the tomb was far more difficult than Li Nuo thought.
Bullets, such dangerous weapons that can easily penetrate the human body and tear apart muscles and internal organs, are greatly ineffective when attacking a skeleton.
It's right to think about it. The power of bullets basically comes from the "cavity effect" formed after the warhead enters the human body.
The prerequisite for realizing the "cavity effect" is that the target hit must have flesh and blood tissue, such as internal organs and muscles.
However, necromantic structures such as skeleton soldiers, giant skeletons, and skeleton dogs do not have flesh and blood tissue.
Thanks to their "bloodless" characteristics, bullets that can cause a lot of damage to the human body can only penetrate the bones and fly away bone fragments when faced with a skeleton.
Therefore, when facing the large number of skeletons on the first floor of the tomb, the jelly hammer, jelly bomb and biochemical hound are the main weapons of the imperial army.
The first to die was the fastest-moving skeleton dog. The biochemical military dog killed all these undead creatures.
The salivary glands of military dogs have been deeply biochemically modified, and the "saliva" secreted is a turbid liquid containing biochemical honey jelly, which is a highly toxic substance to the undead structure.
When a military dog bites a skeleton dog, it can melt a small piece of it, making it extremely efficient in killing enemies.
The second large skeleton was cleaned up.
This large undead creature with obvious goals was gathered together by the imperial army to kill them.
The remains of four large skeletons melted by honey bombs were piled up to a height of more than eight meters, forming the shape of a hill, almost touching the ceiling of the first floor of the tomb.
The last ones to be cleared out were the largest number of skeleton soldiers and crypt lurkers disguised as stone bricks.
Once the undead creatures died, their remains buried the entire floor of the tomb.
The soldiers could only move on the "carpet" of bones and could not see the stone tile floor underneath the "carpet" of bones.
When no more undead creatures were seen on the first floor of the tomb, the commander, Sergeant Alvin, ordered the installation of an air purification device.
Rolling white mist pours out from the trumpet-shaped nozzle, quickly neutralizing the yellow-green poisonous mist.
After this purifying white mist came into contact with the remains of undead creatures, a layer of white wax was formed on the surface of the bones, turning the bones everywhere into oil wax sculptures.
Seeing this, Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and asked Sergeant Mars.
Only then did he learn that the Purifying White Mist had been incorporated into the "Anti-Undead Resurrection Complex Enzyme" by MI3, which could slow down the resurgence of undead creatures to a certain extent.
It is conservatively estimated that the big skeleton that originally took 3 hours to revive now needs at least 5 hours to stand up.
Invisibly, the imperial army had more time.
After hearing this information, Li Nuo's worries dissipated a little.
This imperial army is indeed well prepared and should not easily fall into the trap of the Necromancer Cult.
...
While the large army was resting on the first floor of the tomb, four reconnaissance teams set off again.
Li Nuo replaced the filter tank on his breathing mask, nodded to the small group of soldiers around him, and took the lead in stepping into the stairwell leading to the second floor of the tomb.
Although he gained a wave of favorability in front of the soldiers in the squad and gained their trust and recognition, this did not mean that he could violate military orders and break away from his status as a criminal soldier.
He still has to do what a criminal soldier should do.
Exploring paths, luring enemies, taking the lead, and luring out burrowers from the dark.
Stay in the dark, be alert, draw hatred, and attract the attention of the awakening undead creatures.
Li Nuo fulfilled his responsibilities without complaint.
But this time the situation was different from last time. He was not alone in the front.
Sergeant Mars walked side by side with him, introducing the situation on the second floor of the tomb along the way, so that the criminals who were recognized by him could have a little more hope of survival.
"You have several things to remember, Jarvis."
Sergeant Mars looked at the front of the corridor warily and whispered:
"First, where there are skeleton soldiers, there must be skeleton dogs. Skeleton dogs serve as cannon fodder, scouts, and vanguards among the undead troops. It is a routine of the Necromancer sect to use skeleton dogs to contain the enemy, and then use skeleton soldiers to drown the enemy. combat strategy.
"Second, where there are big skeletons, there must be skeleton soldiers. Big skeletons are the elite arms among the low-level necromantic structures. They have the largest surveillance range and the fastest awakening speed from sleep. They are the leaders of the skeleton soldier team and also A watcher in a cordoned area.
"Third, the closer you get to the Spiritual Hub, the stronger the undead creatures are and the richer their arms are. Later, you may encounter enemies such as skeleton archers, metal skeletons, and self-destructing skeleton soldiers. Be careful and careful. Listen to my orders clearly...I don't want you to die here."
"Yes, sir, thank you for reminding me." Li Nuo responded with gratitude, secretly praising the other person's character.
Sergeant Mars is really a good person, caring for his subordinates, witty, rich in combat experience, and has high personal charm.
At this moment, Li Nuo sincerely hoped that such a character could start well and end well, and have a happy ending.
After giving Sergeant Mars a silent blessing from the bottom of his heart, Li Nuo asked curiously:
"By the way, sir, are there any roles similar to medics in the undead army?"
"Undead Medic..." Sergeant Mars pondered for a moment, nodded slowly and said:
"Yes, but that is not an enemy we can contact. Although I have never seen the so-called undead medic, I have heard such a rumor.
"...It is said that in the Necromancer Cult, low-level Necromancer monks have mastered two different systems of summoning methods of the undead.
“Generally speaking, the two summoning methods are: the Necronomicon Structure Summoning Circle, which summons Necronomicon Structures, and the Stitch Monster Summoning Circle, which sews corpses and bones together.
"The undead construct and the suture monster are the two most common undead creatures. You have already encountered them, so I don't need to introduce them.
"Low-level undead monks enchant the spiritual hub with two summoning methods, and use the spiritual hub's range of influence to summon undead creatures in a wide range. The spiritual hub is the casting medium for the undead monks to cast summoning spells in a wide range."
Sergeant Mars paused:
"So, when a spiritual hub can summon both undead structures and suture monsters, it must be controlled by a low-level undead monk."
Sergeant Mars led the team around a corner of the stairs and continued:
"The undead medic you mentioned, well, I heard that treating undead creatures is the magical ability of mid-level undead monks, but their treatment methods are different from us humans.
"Middle-level undead monks can add the effects of 'Aggregate Supplies' and 'Death Supplies' to the undead creatures under their command..."
As soon as Li Nuo heard the term coming out of Mars' mouth, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Isn’t this right?
"Aggregate Supplies" and "Death Supplies" are abilities given to undead creatures by mid-level necromantic monks.
The spiritual hub on the third underground floor of Tomb No. 1079 is controlled by a mid-level Necromancer monk, not watched by a low-level Necromancer monk.
Li Nuo thought for a while, waited patiently for Mars to change his words, and then asked:
"So, sir, is there a possibility that there are intermediate-level undead monks on the third floor underground?
"This mid-level undead monk gave the undead creatures the effects of 'Aggregate Supplies' and 'Death Supplies', but did not use these two effects.
"The purpose of the Intermediate Necromancer is to make us be careless and underestimate its strength, so that it can give us a heavy blow at the critical moment...
"For example, drag us to the third underground floor until the dead on the first and second underground floors are revived, and then use the effects of 'Aggregate Supplies' and 'Death Supplies' to block the dead on the first and second underground floors. Kill our retreat and put us under heavy siege.”
Li Nuo's words stunned Mars.
The experienced combat sergeant stopped and stood there in deep thought.
The soldiers around him also heard Li Nuo's words, and they all looked at each other, and they all saw the vague uneasiness in each other's eyes...
