At the stairwell door on the ground floor, Li Nuo stood behind the door, with half of his eyes exposed through the crack of the door, looking at the situation in the castle hall.
The crystal lanterns on the ceiling have been extinguished, leaving the hall completely dark and depressing.
The undead poisonous mist here has risen to a height of two or three meters above the ground, and is pouring into the stairwell from the crack in the door.
All the night guards who failed to put on their gas masks in time fell to the ground and lay lifeless on the marble floor of the castle hall.
However, they did not rest in peace.
When Yug passed by the group of victims, he mobilized the magical power of the ritual circle. He transformed all these people who had just died in battle into his own walking corpses.
By the time he led Wu Yangyang's men out of the castle hall and headed toward the open air where gunfire was raging, the hall was empty, not even a body was left.
Li Nuo looked down at the ground and pointed at Yuge's dormitory.
If you want to stop Yug from forming his own army of zombies, you have to destroy the ritual circle in the dormitory.
Theoretically speaking, with Yug's dormitory as the center, all corpses within a radius of thirty meters can be used by him, which is roughly the range from the three underground floors to the three above ground floors of the castle.
Li Nuo had no intention of getting involved in Yuge's affairs.
He just hopes that the other party will attract firepower to him.
Li Nuo withdrew his gaze, turned around, pushed aside the poisonous mist of the undead in front of him, and walked along the spiraling stairs to the second floor.
The stairwell on the ground has a window with transparent glass.
Li Nuo came to the corner of the stairs and stopped, sticking his head out from behind the window, looking at the scene outside the fortress, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"It's really rare that it still rains in this bird-like place at the crossroads of suffering..."
Since Li Nuo became a criminal soldier, he has been here at the border of suffering for more than half a month, and this is the first time he has seen drizzle.
Raindrops fell from the high clouds, passed through the poisonous mist of the undead that spread everywhere, fell on the eaves, and then flowed down the smooth steam pipes, dripped to the ground, and flowed into the sewer pipes.
During the short period of time that Li Nuo stopped to observe, the rain expanded rapidly, from a drizzle to a torrential downpour.
The howling wind whipped up the rain and slapped the window glass, splashing black water in front of Li Nuo, like a blooming water lily of death.
"Black rain..." Li Nuo locked his gaze on the strangely colored raindrops and threw out the deconstruction technique.
[System message: You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on "Abnormal Rain". It is estimated that it will take 170 energy points to reach 100% deconstruction completion. 】
Li Nuo glanced at the system text and became increasingly vigilant.
The rain must have come from "abnormal clouds."
There is no doubt that the Necromancer Cult used a long-hidden trump card in order to destroy the legion's fortress.
"Time is running out, I'd better act quickly."
Just as Li Nuo was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and then leaned on the window frame, staring at the street outside.
The gunfire in the Legion Fortress mainly came from the area outside the walls.
Although Li Nuo couldn't see the scene outside the wall, judging from the intensity of gunshots and the frequency of flashes of fire, the soldiers defending the city should be fighting the undead army surrounding the fortress.
Yug was leading his team of zombies, walking on the streets, and encountered many panicked soldiers.
Predictably, his actions sparked riots. Before his zombies could leave the city, they were treated as enemies by imperial soldiers and surrounded on the streets.
However, Yug and his walkers were not killed by the soldiers.
Because within half a minute after the rain became heavier, a large group of undead creatures covered in black sewage violently knocked open the manhole cover and crawled out of the sewer pipe.
The body of this undead creature seems to be made of rainwater. It looks very fragile and may disintegrate at any time.
With every step they take, large amounts of black sewage will drip from their bodies, and their bodies will become smaller as a result.
But the next second, black rain falling from the sky merged into their bodies.
Their bodies expanded in an instant, becoming stronger and taller.
While they are spilling black water, they are also absorbing water from rainwater. Under the alternation, their body shape and appearance barely remain stable.
The appearance of this group of undead disrupted the fighting situation in the fortress.
The fortress garrison's attention was all focused on the undead army outside the city, and they failed to even notice anything unusual inside the fortress.
When the garrison soldiers heard the gunshots on the street, wiped the rain off their faces, and looked back into the city, they discovered that the undead army was rampaging on the street and fighting with the soldiers in the city.
"Where did these guys come from!"
"Quick! Sound the alarm! Send an alert to other soldiers in the city!"
"Dang, Dang, Dang~" The soldiers on the wall twitched the rope ring hard, ringing the alarm bell hanging on the wall.
More garrisons noticed the black undead on the streets.
Someone discovered that the black undead crawled out of the sewer pipes;
Someone fired at them, but with little effect, nothing more than a splash;
Someone saw Yug who was commanding the team of zombies, gnashing his teeth and scolding the traitor in the uniform of a sergeant;
Someone was distracted by the situation in the city and was shot in the head by an arrow fired from outside the city.
The battlefield situation changes rapidly.
More soldiers were awakened by the rifles and alarm bells, hurriedly put on their military uniforms, walked out of the gentle countryside, and went into battle with weapons in hand.
They used the walls of houses as rock mass and shot at the black undead on the street. While exclaiming that the power of the bullets was so weak, they shouted that they were in urgent need of ammunition supplies.
Without the intervention of the "Imperial Fist", it would be difficult for the soldiers in the city to stop the strange undead condensed by the rain.
The chaotic street scene was reflected on Li Nuo's retina through the window.
He frowned and thought to himself.
"An undead creature made of black rainwater. I seem to have seen information about this thing somewhere."
He clicked on the deconstruction results in his mind and found a magic book called "Basic Encyclopedia of Undead Soldiers".
This book is large in size, rich in pictures and texts, and detailed in content.
Li Nuo invested 5 energy points without hesitation and memorized all the contents in the book.
A large amount of information flowed from the depths of his mind, and countless undead runes and undead creature illustrations shuttled in front of his eyes.
Half a second later, the vast ocean of book knowledge was completely digested by Li Nuo.
He looked at the black undead on the street and nodded calmly.
"The angry spirit".
That's the technical name for that black undead.
The black rain falling from the clouds is the casting material for summoning the angry and angry spirits.
This rainwater is full of filth and is composed of very small particles of debris - ash.
On weekdays, ash will hang high in the sky like dust, forming clouds that obscure the sun, moon and stars.
When it is time to summon the Yin Furious Wild Spirit, the ash will fall with the rain and turn into large quantities of ritual materials for summoning the Yin Furious Wild Spirit.
The angry and angry spirit is very difficult to deal with.
Their main ingredients are ash, water and death energy.
Their internal structure is very loose, relying entirely on water containing death energy to bind the ash together.
Although bullets can pass through their bodies, they cannot cause significant damage.
Energy methods such as fire and electric shock are effective, but in rainy weather, whether it is flame or lightning, there are restrictions on its use.
In addition, the attack methods of the Yin Furious Wild Spirit are also difficult to guard against.
As long as they have physical contact with a living person, they can use the death energy in their bodies to perish together with their enemies.
Li Nuo saw with his own eyes that after a group of soldiers were surrounded by the angry spirits, bursts of black light erupted from the scene. When the light dissipated, the soldiers and the angry spirits disappeared, leaving only a pile of hair, pieces of flesh, and bloody residue. .
This kind of undead composed of ash and death energy has obvious disadvantages.
Just like what Li Nuo observed, Yin Fury Kuang Ling's body disintegrated too easily.
Since the moment they were summoned, their "structural value" has been declining.
If it weren't for the ash in the rain that kept "healing" them, these undead would have turned into dust long ago.
"It seems that for so many years, the Necromancer Cult has been secretly building a secret 'airborne force'. As long as the clouds in the sky are still there, and there is sufficient energy supply and corresponding summoning circles on the ground, the Necromancer Cult can be on the surface of the earth. Pull out an 'airborne force' from any place. Now I know what the 'abnormal cloud' is, that is the base camp of the 'airborne force'..."
Li Nuo raised his head and stared at the dark clouds, feeling emotional.
He calmed down, activated "Tracking the Living", and looked towards the second floor of the castle.
From the second floor to the fifth floor on the top floor, they are all the military base of the Korab Legion.
The second floor is the sergeant's office, the third floor is the medical department, the fourth floor is the lieutenant's office, and the fifth floor is the corps commander's office and conference room.
Each level is guarded by guards directly under the legion commander, who only obey the commander's orders.
As long as the legion commander does not order an attack, these guards will stay at their posts.
Li Nuo had been standing in the corridor for so long, but not a single soldier left his post without authorization and went to the streets of the city to support him. This is enough to prove how strict the discipline of the direct guard is.
"The situation is a bit tricky. Just in the room I can see through, there are 20 fully armed soldiers. In the room deep on the second floor, there will be more soldiers on standby. There must be "Imperial Fist" among them. . "
Li Nuo's face was solemn, and his gaze penetrated the stairway above his head and reached the stairwell door on the second floor.
There were two soldiers guarding it.
Judging from the movements of these two people, they were staring at the stairwell without letting up at all.
If Li Nuo walked up like this, he would definitely be caught on the spot by these two soldiers.
We must find a way to get rid of these two soldiers.
Li Nuo was frowning and thinking about countermeasures, when he suddenly heard a burst of thunder outside the house!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Several twisted black lightnings appeared out of thin air, pierced the night sky, and rushed towards the fifth floor of the Legion Castle like venomous snakes!
"Rumble..."
The roof of the building was bombarded by black lightning, the beams were broken, the stone walls collapsed, and the broken stone bricks fell from the window in front of Li Nuo, hitting the ground outside the house with a loud clang.
The stairwell was shaking noticeably, and the floor beneath my feet was shaking.
"Those black lightnings seem to be "death pulses"! The dark clouds in the sky can actually emit such a powerful beam of death energy! "
Li Nuo held onto the wall to steady himself, and heard another thunderous sound like a string of silver bottles exploding.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
More stone bricks rolled down from the window, mixed with broken limbs and blood.
A strong dark green light shone through the window, causing Li Nuo's pupils to shrink sharply.
When the light dimmed and he looked into the sky again, Li Nuo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The overwhelming black rain seemed to be summoned by an invisible call, and it gathered towards the fifth floor of the castle, forming a black funnel that blocked the sky and the sun!
"The commander is under attack! The commander is under attack!"
"A large number of undead appeared on the fifth floor!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Go to support!"
There was a lot of noise in the stairwell. Soldiers on various floors shouted loudly and hurriedly rushed to the fifth floor.
The number of people from the second floor to the fourth floor drops rapidly. This is a good opportunity to obtain the life potion!
Li Nuo checked the weapons and equipment he carried with him, looked calm, and stepped towards the steps.
"Crash la la la..."
The inexplicable sound of water reached Li Nuo's ears from far to near, from top to bottom.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows, bent down quickly, and stuffed his trouser legs into the uppers of his hiking boots.
When he stood up straight, the pitch-black rainwater weaved into gurgling water and flowed down the stairs.
The black water bubbles surged. The bulging bubbles exploded with the gusts of cold wind, spewing out black mist.
Li Nuo pinched his fingers and cast "Magic Shield".
An invisible wave flashed on the surface of his skin, and a transparent shield that was difficult for others to detect instantly appeared.
At the moment Li Nuo released the magic shield, two-meter-high water curtains rose up on the black water.
The angry and angry spirit appeared when the water curtain fell.
Suddenly, the spacious stairwell became extremely crowded.
A second ago, only Li Nuo was standing alone.
The next second, several more dark and angry spirits appeared on the ascending stairs in front of Li Nuo.
"Awesome, the Necromancer Cult, your troop explosion speed is even more exaggerated than the Queen of the Zerg!"
Li Nuo glared at the angry spirit blocking the road and cursed repeatedly.
You absolutely must not be entangled by these angry and angry spirits, otherwise you will be in trouble!
These guys are blessed by rain and can repair their injuries very quickly. They are difficult to eliminate in a short time. They especially like to die together with their enemies.
You must leave the stairwell and enter the third floor as soon as possible!
With a thought, Li Nuo raised his hand and pointed forward, tapped his fingertips three times, and released three streaks of transparent lightning:
"Fear spell!"
Three rays of transparent lightning hit the heads of three angry mad spirits and escaped into their bodies.
A horrified and twisted human face protruded from the face of the angry spirit, and it let out a terrifying scream.
These three angry and angry spirits turned their backs on Li Nuo and ran away, as if Li Nuo was an indescribable thing.
As they ran like this, they tore a hole in the encirclement.
They collided with other angry and angry spirits behind them, causing them to stagger back. Then they collided with the angry and angry spirits further behind. After a series of collisions, a path for one person appeared in front of Li Nuo. Narrow passage for traffic.
Without further ado, speed through!
Li Nuo was not afraid of the death energy of the angry spirits and rushed straight towards them, aiming directly at the gaps in the encirclement.
He stepped over several steps in succession, pushed aside several enemies who were in the way, and successfully turned a curve in the stairs.
"Crack..." A crisp cracking sound came from the surface of his skin.
After being touched several times by the angry spirit, the "magic shield" reached its limit, and the shield strength returned to zero.
Without thinking, Li Nuo silently recited the spell-casting formula again and cast a new "Magic Shield". At the same time, he raised his finger and clicked three more times to release another wave of "Fear Spell".
After controlling the shield one after another, he finally squeezed out from the ranks of the angry spirits.
After breaking open the door panel and stepping into the medical department where he had been away for several days, Li Nuo locked the door with his backhand and used his body to press the door panel that was hit by the angry spirit.
Scanning the dark corridor, Li Nuo maintained his magical vision of "tracking the living", looked into his dark eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that there is no one on the third floor. Even the soldiers guarding the medicine warehouse have been called to support the legion commander.
Li Nuo smiled slightly, but his expression immediately froze.
I saw that the ventilation pipe openings on the ceiling were washed open by the rain, and several black water pillars erected in the corridor...
Black water poured into the corridor and spread along the corridor. Dozens of angry and angry spirits stood up from the water and looked at the only human being present with sadness.
Oh my god!
There is no one here, but there is something strange!
Is there flooding on the fifth floor of this Legion fortress? Why is there black water everywhere?
Li Nuo was feeling anxious, and immediately realized a problem:
If you kill the undead here, can you receive soul shards?
Can!
Sure!
In the solitary room on the third underground floor, didn't he collect the soul fragments from the soldiers?
This shows that there is no spiritual hub in the Legion Castle, and there is no death device that competes with Li Nuo for soul fragments.
After thinking about this, Li Nuo looked at the Yin Wrath Wild Spirits again, but he didn't see them as trouble.
These are obviously monsters with no blood bar showing.
"Hey! You triggered a combat mission, host. Every time you kill a Yin Fury Wild Spirit, you will be rewarded with some soul fragments."
Li Nuo held the revolver at his waist, with a smile on his lips, and manually sent himself a task.
