basement one.
The frontline positions were in full swing.
All teams performed their duties and launched a fierce attack on the Skeleton Sea according to the defensive formation determined by Sergeant Alvin in advance.
The Mars team was assigned to Barrier 8 and used a water-cooled light machine gun to defend against the enemy.
However, the members of Mars' team were killed and injured.
The only two people alive and kicking were a criminal soldier without command authority and a sergeant who never returned to the underground level.
As a result, Barrier No. 8 was paralyzed.
Within this barrier formed by Gray Worm obstacles, only Li Nuo was waiting quietly...
At this time, Li Nuo was sitting in the corner.
His face was pale, his expression was dazed, and his eyes were out of focus, as if he had suffered some serious mental trauma.
If others saw him like this, they would definitely think that he was frightened by Pim's interrogation methods.
But actually, that's not the case.
After maintaining a stupid expression for more than ten seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth curved up, and he laughed cheerfully.
His laughter was genuine and refreshing, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted from his heart.
"Hehe! As expected, you still have to rely on yourself~ If my underground lurker hadn't ambushed Pim in advance on the only way to escape, Pim would have really been able to escape..."
When Li Nuo was laughing, he accidentally touched the aching nerve in his head. He immediately grinned and touched his head to stop his laughter.
Recalling the previous scenes, Li Nuo was excited and secretly said he was lucky.
About ten minutes ago, he encountered a burrower in the stairwell.
He stretched out his hands and groped inside the body of the disgusting crypt lurker, and soon found the domino embedded in the bones.
He pulled out the Cryptlurker's domino and inserted his own domino at the same time.
This action is like hot-swapping a USB flash drive.
He wasn't sure if doing so would gain control of the Cryptlurker.
But fortunately he made the right bet.
The system sent him a message confirming that his approach was completely feasible.
…
[You plundered a summoned object: Crypt Lurker by modifying the logical instructions. 】
[Since you have unlocked the general panel of "Crypt Lurker", you can obtain the panel information of this summon without spending additional energy points. 】
[The panel information of summoned objects is as follows:]
[Name] Crypt Lurker
[Stitch life] 300 points
Stitched Life is the unique life attribute of the Undead Stitch Monster.
As long as you sew undead materials such as rotten flesh, bones, blood clots, etc. to this creature, you can increase its suture life.
This kind of life attribute is quite special and will not automatically recover like the blood volume of organic life forms. Only by sewing new undead materials onto the Stitch Monster can its blood volume be increased.
[Soul Strength] 1 point
That is, the "core blood volume" of undead creatures. Only when the soul strength returns to zero will the undead creature die completely.
【Death Energy】10/10
That is, the "physical strength" of undead creatures.
【Skill】
Active skills:
Swift Lash, level 6.
Consume 2 points of death energy to spray a whip. This skill can be used to hit anywhere within ten meters, and the threat is extremely high.
Burrowing through the ground, level 15.
Consume 1 point of death energy to move 15 meters in any direction in hard soil or walls.
Passive skill:
Stone pattern camouflage, the highest level.
It uses a stitched stone-grained skin to disguise itself as stone bricks.
Since undead creatures have no vital characteristics, this method of camouflage can not only avoid naked eye search, but also block many detection methods such as infrared sensors and heartbeat sensors.
Resurrection of the Dead, level 1, has expired.
The dominoes you made were not approved by the Lingshu. Therefore, even if this undead creature is within the influence of the spiritual hub, it cannot be revived with the help of the spiritual hub.
Soul Link, Level 1.
When you input action instructions into the dominoes, you boldly opened the "soul link".
This allows you to feel the environment around the summoned creature with your soul and control the summoned creature yourself.
Correspondingly, the pain of the summoned creature will be fed back to you through the soul link. Your brain and spirit will enter a brief trance state.
…
This "soul link" was the culprit that caused Li Nuo to suffer from headaches and trance.
When he was inputting action instructions to the domino, the system sent him a large piece of information.
The message is to the effect:
"Hey, brother, do you want to add the "Soul Link" feature? This thing is so easy to use, it allows you to command the summoned objects like an arm! Using it to command undead creatures is far more efficient than mechanical instructions...but it will be a bit painful..."
In order to ensure that the plan was 100% successful, Li Nuo agreed without even thinking.
Only now did he realize that the so-called "a little pain" was real pain.
He can indeed control the actions of the Crypt Lurker himself.
However, the severe pain when the Crypt Lurker was killed was also fed back to him along the soul link.
The person who killed the lurker in the crypt was Martha Murphya.
The weapon she uses is a frost dragon head transformed from her arm.
This scene was all seen by Li Nuo through the "soul link".
"I really didn't expect that Martha Murphya could use some of her extraordinary abilities without completely transforming into a biochemical giant. Is this an attack method unique to the captain's level of strength?
"And her extraordinary ability is actually related to the dragon...
"There is such a thing as a giant dragon in this world. Why is it not mentioned at all in the teaching content of Beauvaertine City College?
"Oh, I know, the dragon should be something from other countries.
"Hey, the Tatis Empire is really a closed country. Even if the original owner is a history teaching assistant, he has no way of knowing what is going on in other countries..."
The scene of Murphy's attack on the lurker in the crypt flashed before Li Nuo's eyes. Looking back now, he still felt extremely shocked.
What happened roughly is this:
His crypt lurker was lying in the stairwell from the third underground floor to the second floor.
The faint sound of fighting came from the third underground floor, and he heard it.
After this, a black light flew up from below.
Li Nuo felt something was strange and immediately used the deconstruction technique on the black light.
After learning from the system that the black light was Pim's soul, Li Nuo Jelly used the Crypt Lurker's "Swift Whip" skill to shatter the crystal outside Pim's soul, causing Pim to lose his soul.
Murphy Ya, who arrived, happened to see the scene where the crystal was broken by the crypt lurker.
She took away the broken crystal, and before leaving, she struck the Crypt Lurker, killing him instantly.
Due to the "soul link", Li Nuo observes the surrounding things from the perspective of a burrower.
Murphy's attack on the crypt lurker was like attacking Li Nuo himself.
The huge frost dragon head was filled with cold air and white frost. Every dragon scale and every wisp of ice mist shone into Li Nuo's mind with incomparable realism.
At that moment, Li Nuo deeply realized how huge the gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people was.
The two are not creatures at the same life level at all. To ordinary people, extraordinary people are simply god-like existences.
"I will remember from now on that when inputting instructions to the dominoes, you must not attach a "soul link" unless necessary. The feeling of being bitten by an ice dragon really hurts me to death..."
Li Nuo rubbed his head and sighed silently, feeling a little helpless.
Now, he is actually just a half-baked necromancer apprentice, that is, the kind of wild mage who has no one to guide him.
All his knowledge of death spells came from deconstruction, and no one systematically taught him how to use death spells correctly.
The undead summoned creatures are originally used as cannon fodder.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that the summoner must not establish a "soul link" with the cannon fodder.
Otherwise, the summoner is likely to be instantly devastated by the massive pain and die of pain.
Li Nuo just suffered the loss of having no one to guide him, so he stumbled in this aspect.
It's not all bad, though.
His plan to kill with a borrowed knife was a great success!
Pym faced Captain Murphy's head-on. The battle between the two was fleeting and ended with Pym retreating in embarrassment.
The only flaw in the entire plan was eliminated by Li Nuo himself.
"Huh~~"
Li Nuo took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and called up the system interface in his mind.
"When I broke the crystal protecting Pim, the system seemed to have sent me some message... Let me see what it was..."
Li Nuo glanced at the text, raised his eyebrows slightly, and joy flashed in his eyes.
He actually hit the target twice.
He used passive deconstruction to deconstruct two things at the same time!
[System message: You caused fatal damage to the "Soul Retreat Crystal". 】
[Passive deconstruction activates! 】
[The deconstruction completion degree of the Soul Retreat Crystal has been increased from 0% to 100%. 】
[Your energy value is restored by 500 points. 】
[You now have 500/15 energy points. 】
[Before your energy value drops below 15 points, the automatic recovery effect of energy value will be suspended. 】
[You have unlocked the standard template of "Soul Retreat Crystal", the details are as follows:]
【…】
"500 energy points! Damn it! This is really like getting rich overnight! The rewards for passive deconstruction are so delicious, I love it~"
Li Nuo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He was previously worried that the energy value of the passive deconstruction reward would be wasted because it exceeded the upper limit of energy value.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
The energy value obtained through passive deconstruction is directly added to the existing energy value, and can exceed the upper limit of energy value.
This is good news.
Its only disadvantage is that the automatic recovery effect of automatically restoring 15 energy points every 24 hours will become stagnant before the existing energy value is lower than the upper limit of energy value.
The longer the energy value exceeds the upper limit, the longer the automatic recovery effect of energy value will be suspended.
Li Nuo will lose a lot of automatically restored energy points, which is undoubtedly a burden.
He had to find a channel as soon as possible to use up the overwhelming amount of energy.
This made him feel a little impatient.
But Li Nuo quickly controlled his emotions and continued to check the system interface.
[System message: When you destroyed the soul retreat crystal, you caused a small amount of damage to the spiritual creature "Pim's Soul". 】
[Passive deconstruction activates! 】
[Your deconstruction completion rate of "Pim's Soul" has been increased from 0% to 7%. 】
[You have obtained memory fragments from "Pim's Soul", the details are as follows:]
【…】
Pim had too many memory fragments, so Li Nuo put them aside for now.
He selected the deconstruction result of the Soul Retreat Crystal and started reading from the beginning.
While reading, his head moved up and down, as if he had some realization, and his eyes gradually became deeper.
The Soul Retreat Crystal is a death-like magic prop that protects the soul that has separated from the body and helps the soul retreat quickly.
This is a one-time escape prop.
It can quickly leave the battlefield with the user's soul after the user's body is destroyed.
It has three disadvantages:
First, the escape speed is fast at first and then slow.
When leaving the body, the crystal escapes very quickly, but this speed can only last for a few seconds.
In the following time, the soul inside it must continue to provide soul strength in order to maintain the crystal's escape speed at more than 10 meters per second.
If the soul strength is insufficient, the crystal's escape speed will drop sharply. It can be easily targeted by enemies.
The second drawback is that this crystal is very fragile and will basically break if touched - which is why it will be shattered by the Crypt Lurker.
The third disadvantage:
This thing can only play the most basic protective role and cannot completely wrap the soul like the body.
Anyone can see directly the soul within it.
Crystals cannot block outsiders from prying into the soul like the body can.
Overall, this is an escape prop that is used only when necessary, rather than a vehicle for the soul to travel freely in the material world.
The deconstruction results list the materials and methods used to make this prop.
Complex and expensive.
Li Nuo can't afford to mess with this thing for the time being.
There was something that aroused Li Nuo's thinking.
The Soul Retreat Crystal is obviously meant to be used in conjunction with other magic devices.
For example, a device that receives this object can better protect the crystal and the soul inside.
Another example is preparing a new body in advance so that the soul inside the crystal can be protected by the physical body as soon as possible.
Pim obviously won't rely on the soul retreat crystal to fly out of the realm of suffering and return to the headquarters of the Death Society.
He must have arranged some backup plans so that his soul could turn the corner as quickly as possible after leaving his body.
So, the answer is obvious!
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Pim's tent, with a smile on his lips.
As expected, there should be a high-value magic item in Pim's tent.
It may be a rare item that properly handles the disembodied soul, or it may be a soulless human body.
What exactly is this thing?
Li Nuo called up the deconstruction results of Pim's Soul and checked the memory he had just obtained.
One minute later, Li Nuo finished reading.
He clenched his fists, feeling both angry and grateful.
The deconstruction results of Pym's Soul are all Pym's recent memories.
Li Nuo also saw the scene of Pim interrogating him...
He was angry at Pim's abuse of lynching, but also grateful that he could escape the other party's clutches.
None of this matters.
The important thing is that Li Nuo found what he wanted in these memory fragments!
He knew what was hidden in Pim's tent!
"I must enter Pim's tent quickly!"
Li Nuo stood up from the ground, rubbing his hands in front of him, his mind spinning rapidly.
"That is a key item that allows me to build an undead army faster. I must find it! Even if I can't take it as my own, I will devote all my energy to deconstructing it! It just so happens that my energy is so high that it explodes !”
