At the end of the stairs leading to the second underground floor, there is also a metal gate.
It is thicker and stronger than the gate on the previous floor, and requires the combined efforts of four soldiers to open it.
"Listen to my command and prepare to open the door." Sergeant Mars looked at Li Nuo:
"Jarvis, it's better for you to go in and wake up the undead. Be more careful."
"Yes, sir." Li Nuo took a deep breath and smelled a faint rancid smell.
Sergeant Mars directed the soldiers to open the door and told Li Nuo:
"Be sure to remember that you can only retreat after getting my order. You must awaken as many undead as possible. Otherwise, our reconnaissance results will be seriously skewed, which will cause more soldiers to die."
"Yes, sir."
The metal gate slowly opened, and a dark crack appeared in front of Li Nuo.
As soon as he passed through the gate, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
Tinnitus, eye swelling, and limb weakness.
Is this poisoning?
Li Nuo calmed down, shook his head slightly, and focused his attention.
The previous negative feelings suddenly dissipated a lot, the chest was no longer tight, the tinnitus disappeared, and other symptoms disappeared.
It's not poisoning, it seems to be the psychological effect of the environment here.
Li Nuo frowned and maintained a state of high concentration.
He moved forward step by step, moving slowly under the light of coal lamps with a radius of less than half a meter.
It's still the same as before, throwing deconstruction skills while walking, and judging what's around him through system messages.
[You are trying to deconstruct "mottled stone bricks"...]
[You are trying to deconstruct "stains left by soft-bodied organisms"...]
[You are trying to deconstruct "the black hair left by the undead"...]
Strange, why are there no bones?
In this second underground floor, there are only stains and hair, and no bones can be seen.
Didn't Sergeant Mars say that necromantic structures like skeleton archers would appear here?
Li Nuo murmured in his heart.
He opened his eyes as wide as possible so that he could clearly see the scene several meters away, looking for the purple light in the skull of the skeleton soldier.
However, no faint purple light appeared.
Instead, there was a dark green light that lit up in patches, floating around Li Nuo like a vast sea of stars.
The little bits of dark green light flickered.
First it was bright for three seconds, then dimmed uniformly for three seconds, and then brightened again for three seconds, as if breathing regularly.
Li Nuo turned to look at Sergeant Mars and the others, whose faces were full of disbelief.
Li Nuo understood that the situation at the scene exceeded their expectations.
Li Nuo threw the Deconstruction Technique at one of the dark green rays of light, feeling slightly startled.
This is not the skeleton soldier that Sergeant Mars expected, nor is it the other soldiers seen on the underground floor!
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct "unknown type of undead creature". 】
[It is expected to consume 5 energy points to achieve 100% deconstruction completion. 】
[You currently have 10 energy points. Are you sure you want to deconstruct? 】
Li Nuo's heart sank.
At 5 points of energy, this consumption is half that of the big skeleton and 2.5 times that of the skeleton soldier.
The relationship between energy consumption and the strength of the deconstructed object should not be a simple linear relationship.
Deconstructing the large skeleton requires 10 energy points.
Deconstructing Skeleton Soldiers requires 2 points.
The ratio between the two is 5 to 1.
But to say that 5 skeleton soldiers can kill 1 big skeleton is nonsense.
Therefore, energy consumption is not calculated simply based on the strength of the deconstructed object.
However, the amount of energy consumed can, to a certain extent, reflect the strength of an individual.
There are not many large skeletons that require 10 energy points to deconstruct, but there are a lot of unknown undead creatures that require 5 energy points to deconstruct, and they are right in front of you...
Li Nuo immediately had the urge to run away, but he quickly restrained himself.
Should we deconstruct this unknown undead creature?
Li Nuo thought for a while and gave up the idea for the time being. As long as he survives, Sergeant Mars will tell him the information without wasting energy points.
Li Nuo shifted his gaze, forced himself to remain calm, and threw deconstruction spells at the awakening undead creatures one by one to see if there were any elite units that required a lot of energy.
After throwing out a dozen deconstruction spells in a row, Li Nuo let out a soft sigh.
He discovered that there was a different existence in the dark area far in front of him.
[System message: You are trying to deconstruct the "magic device engraved with necromantic runes". 】
[It is estimated that 10 energy points will be consumed to reach 100% deconstruction completion. 】
[You currently have 10 energy points, are you sure to proceed with deconstruction? 】
It's coming, it's coming, the key thing that requires 10 points of energy is coming.
Li Nuo had a hunch that this thing could definitely affect his life and death.
"Confirmed to proceed with 100% complete deconstruction."
After reciting silently, Li Nuo swayed slightly, then stood still in a daze.
The energy value in the inventory was exhausted, and the deconstruction results immediately appeared in his mind.
...
【Name】Spiritual Cairn
This is a kind of death magic building.
It looks like an ordinary stone tomb and is made of hard, ancient rock.
The priests of the Necronomicon sect arranged a unique death-like magic array on this stone cairn, giving it some powerful death-like magic effects.
[Construction value] 110,000/110,000
Construction value is a digital representation of a building's completeness.
When the construction value returns to zero, the death energy inside the cairn will return to zero, and the cairn will enter a sleeping state.
[Soul Strength] 1 point
Soul strength is the "blood volume" of all death-like things.
[Death Energy] 61/61 points
Death energy is the "mana" of death-type buildings that can be restored while asleep.
【Skill】

Dominate the Dead, 1st level.
This building effectively guides undead creatures into team combat.
Capture soul, level 1.
The souls of those killed within 100 meters of this building will be absorbed and bound.
Living people within 100 meters of this building have a chance of having their souls drained away.
The souls captured by this building will become undead units controlled by it.

After the frenzy ends, the undead unit enters a weakened state for half an hour.
The preparation time for casting is 10 seconds.
Passive skill:
Death Foundation, Level 1.
At the expense of all movement, the structure gains the ability to cast death spells instantly.
Damage link, level 5.
Any damage taken by this building will be borne by the undead bound to it for 50%.
Undead Commander, Level 3.
This building can control 300 undead units. Currently, 282 are under control.
Resurrection of the Dead, Level 1.
This building is within the influence of the Lingshu.
After the construction value or death energy returns to zero, it is expected to be put into use again after 3 hours of sleep.
Death Guard, Level 1.
Anyone who fails to modify the necromancy runes of this building in the correct way will activate this passive skill, triggering a level 1 "Death Storm". "Death Storm" will cause a large amount of death-like magic damage to everything within 1 meter around the target.
【Construction Requirements】
(slightly)
【weakness】
One-hit kill weakness:
Using death spells or props to extract the soul from the device can completely destroy the building.
Critical Damage Level Weaknesses:
Destroying a large number of undead runes at once, or purifying a large number of undead souls bound by this building, can cause fatal damage to this building.
Containment Operational Level Weaknesses:
Necromantic runes are the logical language of this building.
Modifying the necromancy runes on this structure will cause its operation to become unstable, thereby reducing the construction value, death energy, or rendering skills unavailable.
...
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!
He knows what MI4's secret experimental plan is!
He also knew how to give the Empire the upper hand in this war.
Modifying the undead runes and paralyzing death-like magic buildings is exactly the purpose of MI4!
"This deconstruction technique is really powerful. It took MI4 many years of research to find a feasible way, but I only spent 10 energy points to discover it."
Li Nuo couldn't help but feel emotional and gave the system a thumbs up.
