An hour has passed since Li Nuo started exploring the 21st floor underground.
A corner on the 21st underground floor of Sector 6.
Li Nuo squatted in a room filled with debris, surrounded by broken crates, and the floor was covered with broken boards, sawdust and bent iron nails.
This is an abandoned underground warehouse, covering an area of about 300 square meters.
There are hundreds of warehouses like this on the 20th floor underground. Like it, there are at least 200 underground workshops, underground steam boiler rooms, liquid cooling rooms, etc. covering an area of 300 square meters or even 500 square meters among the 20 underground floors.
This is what he found out after searching for a flat map.
This map was left on the slime carpet and was four centimeters thick when folded into the size of a palm.
Spread it out on the floor, and a dense distribution map of corridors and rooms appears in front of you. There are also a large number of handwritten numbers and notes next to the distribution map.
Judging from the information on the map, its original owner was an alchemist from the Heavy Forging Association.
Li Nuo didn't want to explore whether the alchemist was dead or alive. He only knew one thing:
This 21st floor underground is too big.
It's really too big.
The total floor area is at least five times that of the 20th floor underground. Just looking at the map, you can feel the maze-like complexity.
This is only the 21st underground floor of Sector 6. The 21 underground floors in sectors 5 and 7 next to it are also of this size.
One can imagine how vast the 21 underground floors of the entire Convergence City are.
Now that I think about it, the areas 20 floors underground and above actually only account for about one-fifth of the ground area of each sector. Starting from the 21st underground floor, the underground corridors on each floor make full use of the area of each sector.
After Li Nuo used deconstruction to store the map in his mind, he was not in a hurry to leave.
Because he found traces of fighting alchemists and wizards.
Five heavy alchemists ranging from third level to fifth level, six dog society alchemists of the same strength level, three combat alchemists from the Razor Gang, and an Eidolon wizard - Fogudia.
These people borrowed the passage from the next door sector, forced open the passage gate between the sectors, and entered the 21st underground floor of Sector 6 from the next door Sector 5.
Four waves of extraordinary people from different forces gathered here, suddenly making the vast floor crowded.
The five heavy alchemists possess 10 alchemical constructs and are equipped with alchemy goggles that see through the wall and monitor vital signs. Their detection range is extremely wide and their firepower is fierce. They use alchemical bullets that can create vacuum chambers to sweep away the aberrations on the floor.
The six Inu Society alchemists are all monster hunters. Each person has two half-human tall alchemy dogs armed to the teeth. The Warcraft Hunters of the Dog Club can also transform into "Wolf Guards" and use alchemical hair to summon cannon fodder wolf dogs in batches. The destructive power of this group of people is similar to that of the Reforged Warlocks. They use cannon fodder wolf dogs to self-destruct to sweep away the aberrations on a large scale.
Three combat alchemists of the Razor Gang were lucky enough to escape being imprisoned by the Alchemy Temple.
After they arrived here, they summoned metal armor with a streamlined appearance, and used the mantis knives spread out on their arms to harvest the lives of the aberrations. When the knife is lifted and dropped, the sharp blade can be fired from the elbow joint to accurately detonate the head of the aberration in the distance.
Fugudia of the Eidolon Order is relatively low-key.
She arrived relatively late. As soon as she stepped onto the 21st underground floor of Sector 6, she noticed the movement in the corridor.
At this moment, the Eidolon wizard, who could transform into a swarm of bats and fly, passed through the metal fence on the edge of the cliff by taking advantage of the bat swarm's ability to disperse into individual individuals.
She entered the vertical cliff passage and flew straight to the deeper floors below.
When Li Nuo noticed Fugudia's flying movements, he couldn't help but feel envious.
"Bat Wings" and "Death Flight" can pass through the metal fence, but the flying spell "Bone Spirit Flying" that I master cannot.
What a shame.
The sound of Fugudia passing through the metal fence alerted the alchemists on the 21st floor underground.
Three groups of alchemists from different forces all took the same operation.
They kept their distance from each other in a tacit understanding, and used the alchemical cutter in their hands to greet the metal fence. In a head-scratching noise, the hard metal railing was forcibly sawed off. There were three more gaps in the metal fence that were large enough for people to pass through.
Without saying a word, the three groups of alchemists jumped out of the gap, spread out the alchemy wings behind them, and flew towards the floor below. After their figures disappeared on the 21st floor underground, another sound of cutting metal railings came from the floors below.
They were forcing their way into another floor.
What is it that attracts three groups of alchemists and an Eidolon wizard?
Li Nuo squatted in an abandoned warehouse on the 21st floor underground, using the magical vision brought by "Life and Death Tracking" to observe directly below.
At the extreme limit of vertical vision, on the 26th floor underground, the Alchemist and the Eidolon Wizard were fighting in a melee.
The four groups fought fiercely, with guns and gunfire roaring continuously. From time to time, alchemical bombs, energy rays, and blood magic spells and light sources will shoot into the cliff, setting off waves of echoes between the various floors.
Li Nuo saw that their target was not the alchemy well on the 28th floor underground, so he let them go.
After they were done fighting, it wouldn't be too late for him to enter the 26th floor underground through the gap in the metal fence.
In order to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by the other party and others, Li Nuo took out the black bone fragments that he had collected for a long time.
The Black Bone Piece comes from the Black Bone Hermit. It is bulletproof, resistant to elemental energy, and has good anti-detection capabilities.
Li Nuo killed no less than 30 black-bone hermits before and after, and stored about 300 black-bone pieces in the folding space.
He had experimented in the Alchemy Club before, and installed these black bone fragments on his body, which were enough to block detection spells and detection tools against the living and the dead.
After realizing that the black bone fragments had excellent anti-detection properties, Li Nuo spent some time weaving it into a black bone fragment armor that could be worn on the body.
Now, this set of armor designed by Li Nuo himself and made by hand is put to use.
Li Nuo put it on his body, covering all the bones of the skeleton's body.
In this way, when he observes himself using "Life and Death Tracking", what he sees is not the yellow outline that symbolizes the "dead", but the same black as the inanimate body.
This is not over yet.
Li Nuo took out another alchemy cloak of the Black Bone Hermit and put it on himself. This is a trophy taken from the machine factory that gave birth to aberrations.
This time, he transformed into a somewhat bloated black-bone hermit.
As long as he doesn't speak and expose his voice, most people may not be able to see through his disguise at a glance.
"Okay, the disguise is done. Now I will wait for the battle on the 26th floor underground to end. What are these guys running for? Are they so desperate..."
Li Nuo glanced at the floors below and was stunned for a moment.
I saw a large group of flying wing aberrations flying up from the bottom of the cliff and pouring into the 26th floor underground.
This group of aberrations must have been alerted by the noise of cutting the fence and the sound of gunfire. As soon as they entered the 26th floor underground, the sound of gunfire and the barking of dogs immediately became louder and louder.
The eidolon wizard named Fugudia was directly squeezed out of the corridor by the fierce fighting and the swarming flying wing aberrations.
She was forced to turn into a swarm of bats to avoid the flying wing aberrations that rushed towards her. She flew up between the cliffs in a thrilling way, and soon returned to the 21st floor underground.
Faint screams and curses came from Fugudia's direction.
"Damn it...the stupid alchemist attracted the aberrations in the lair...Now I see how you can take away the alchemical manuscripts of the ancient sages!"
Oh, it turns out that I came here for the ancient alchemy manuscript. No wonder I worked so hard.
Li Nuo nodded slowly, feeling no desire for the so-called ancient alchemy manuscript.
Ancient alchemical manuscripts specifically refer to alchemical drawings written by the original author. This thing is very attractive to alchemists. But for wizards, it can only be regarded as a good collection, or an ancient relic that can be exchanged for money.
As for why Fugudia intervened, Li Nuo guessed that she wanted to make one last profit before leaving.
Calculating the time carefully, there are only two weeks left before the deadline for Fugudia, Sharp, and Nehekat to be forcibly expelled from the Convergence City. It would be a pity not to take the opportunity to fish in the unowned corridor.
Just as Li Nuo was thinking this, he saw Fugudia transform into a swarm of bats again.
This time she did not fly to the 26th underground floor below, but flew to the metal gate to Sector 5 next door.
Li Nuo watched this witch with a fiery figure and equally fiery personality leave without any thought of talking to her or deconstructing her.
As soon as Fugudia left, two other groups of alchemists entered the 21st underground floor. They came down from upstairs, from the Blood Fox Gang and the Steam Armor Gang.
Li Nuo raised his head and looked upstairs. The teams of the Bulldog Gang and the Vulture Gang were completely wiped out and had been strangled by the Blood Fox Gang and the Steam Armor Gang. In the magical vision above, many body fragments can be seen.
"Tsk, the Masterless Corridor is really going to become a meat grinder now..."
Li Nuo sighed in his heart, watching the people from the Blood Fox Gang and the Steam Armor Gang fly to the 26th underground floor below.
"When will it stop? Do I have to wait here for an hour or two?"
Li Nuo frowned, and the floor map appeared in his mind.
He thought for a moment, then clenched his fist and lightly pounded his palm:
"I can only take the shaft on the 21st floor underground, which is a fast passage that leads directly to the depths of the underground. It's the same if I reach the depths of the underground first, and then explore upwards layer by layer."
Li Nuo set out for the entrance of the shaft marked on the map, hoping not to encounter an illegal alchemist who happened to come up from the shaft...
Sometimes, things just don't happen by chance.
Just when Li Nuo arrived near the shaft, the traction device of the lifting platform was rotating. The sound of rusty gears turning reached Li Nuo's ears from a distance of hundreds of meters.
Li Nuo used his magic vision to look at the situation in the shaft and saw the outline of the alchemy slave's body.
Six alchemy slaves, in groups of three, were placed on both sides of the lifting platform. Judging from the position, there should be two black-bone hermits standing between the two groups of alchemy slaves.
Since the Black Bone Hermit is immune to detection spells, Li Nuo cannot see the Black Bone Hermit through the layers of walls.
But that didn't stop him from taking action against this group of people.
The Black Bone Hermits were not good people in Li Nuo's eyes, and there was no psychological burden in killing them.
Li Nuo came to the entrance of the shaft as quickly as possible, squeezed away the aberrations lingering here, and pulled out his wand before the lifting platform came to a stop.
"Two Fingers of Death" x10!
Dense black lightning exploded in front of the enemy like thunder.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
A series of explosions came from the lifting platform, causing echoes in the large warehouse where the shaft was located.
Body fragments and black bone fragments were flying everywhere. After about half a minute, the shaft stopped, and only the aberrations that were shocked by the explosion were neighing and howling.
Li Nuo used his magic wand to light two alchemy slaves dragging half of their bodies, transforming them into his own dead to clean up the battlefield on his behalf.
The two black-bone hermits who were just killed were of first-level and second-level strength respectively.
Li Nuo has unlocked their standardized panel, so apart from the more than 100 points of soul strength absorbed, there is no other data gain.
Li Nuo called up the recent memory fragments of the target and looked at them.
When the deceased handed over the collected black bone fragments, Li Nuo knew the purpose of this group of visitors from the Black City.
These guys are here to find out what's going on. They were alerted by the sounds of fighting on the 21st and 26th underground floors, and came specifically from the 60th underground floor to investigate.
Li Nuo looked through it carefully and found that the other party and others had not returned to the Black City recently, and there were no scenes directly related to the Black City in the memory fragments.
but!
Li Nuo has an unexpected gain!
He actually found maps of the 60th to 100th floors underground, as well as a large amount of information related to these floors.
In addition to these, an alchemy card that appeared in the memory fragment shocked Li Nuo.
He took the black bone fragments collected by the deceased, stuffed them into his blood space, and then groped with his own hands among the bloody remains.
After about two minutes, Li Nuo stood up straight with an alchemy card stained with blood and let out a long sigh of relief:
"Oh my god, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, this alchemy card was not destroyed by the death lightning, otherwise I would have missed it with a large number of alchemy weapons."
Li Nuo cleaned the blood on his hands and the alchemy card, and solemnly put the thing into the blood space.
He retrieved the memory fragments and read them again, while asking the dead to help him clean up the battlefield.
After reconfirming the information in the memory fragment, Li Nuo's eyes flashed with excitement of making a big move.
A sudden fortune awaited him.
While the alchemy forces on the ground are working hard to recover alchemy weapons, the illegal forces in the black city are not idle either.
The two black-bone hermits that Li Nuo just killed were not only responsible for patrolling the 60th floor underground, they were also responsible for recovering alchemy weapons.
The two of them will not be attacked by aberrations, and the efficiency of collecting alchemical weapons is naturally much higher than that of alchemists on the ground.
They will hoard the collected alchemy weapons and put them in a large warehouse.
The alchemy card that Li Nuo regarded as a treasure was the key card used to open this warehouse.
Li Nuo rushed over now. Once he opened the warehouse, he could see mountains of alchemy weapons.
The only troublesome thing is that he has to go on a killing spree.
Because the warehouse where alchemy weapons are stored is located at the deepest level of the 60th floor underground, where is the machinery factory that spawns aberrations. Since the artificial nest in the wild stone wasteland was destroyed overnight, the machinery factory in the cracked corridor has increased its vigilance.
The people currently guarding the machinery factory on the 60th floor underground are not only the black-bone hermits and alchemy slaves, but also several other illegal forces in the black city.
Li Nuo has already figured out the specific situation of these illegal forces in the memory fragments.
The Split Demon Society specializes in living alchemy. It is one of the illegal forces in the Black City and masters the "Split Demon" alchemy weapon. After activating the alchemical weapon, the Demon Alchemist can divide his body into several parts, each part becoming a clone. Avatars can work together or disperse to act alone. As long as all the clones are alive, the "Split Demon" will not die completely.
The Steam Supreme Society specializes in living alchemy and steam alchemy, and masters the "anthropomorphic steam" alchemical weapon. After activating the alchemical weapon, they can transform themselves into a high-temperature steam man. Their bodies are entirely composed of light water droplets, and they are basically immune to kinetic energy damage. They can also quickly recover from physical damage by absorbing water and steam.
The Alloy Skeleton Club specializes in living alchemy and metal alchemy, and masters the alchemical weapon of the same name. The gold-bone alchemists of this illegal force are so extreme that they completely gave up their flesh and blood bodies and put all their souls into alchemy stones. The alchemy stone became their brains, and their bodies were replaced by alloy skeletons.
Compared with metal wizards, the advantage of gold bone alchemists is that they can replace their alloy bodies at will. It doesn't matter if a set of alloy skeletons is broken. With a thought, they can take out another set from the alchemy stone to replace the damaged alloy body.
The key thing is that these madmen installed an alchemy array in the alchemy stone to automatically repair the alloy body. As long as the alloy materials in the alchemy stone are not completely consumed, they will never be in a situation where they have no body to use.
More importantly, every Golden Bone Alchemist possesses sage particles that cycle through the production of alloy materials, and their logistical supply capabilities are astonishing.
The above three illegal forces from the black city are the main personnel guarding the machinery factory. The Black Bone Hermit is more responsible for operating the machinery factory and maintaining the mechanical devices inside.
These three illegal forces are all based on living alchemy. They are very cruel to themselves, and they need to undergo a life-long transformation of the magic circle before they can become members of the force. This determines the situation that although these three forces have few personnel, each one is elite.
After Li Nuo passes now, what he has to face is not a black-bone hermit with sloppy fighting skills, but a ferocious, ruthless, inhumane and illegal alchemist with various methods.
Afraid?
Afraid of wool...
With the "Two Fingers of Death" in hand, you can kill as many as you come.
The extraordinary abilities of this group of illegal alchemists sound difficult to deal with, but none of them can escape the fate of being injured by violent irrigation and dying suddenly.
The real problem Li Nuo needs to solve is not to kill the opponent instantly, but how not to let the enemy escape.
The machinery factory that appears on the 60th floor underground in Sector 6 is far larger than the one in the wild stone wasteland.
From the 60th underground floor to the 80th underground floor of Sector 6, it is all within the scope of its factory, occupying the southeastern area of the rift corridor.
With such a huge machinery factory, didn’t the Heavy Forging Association on the ground notice it?
Hey, who said this machinery factory area is an illegal facility?
Although it has been occupied by the alchemy forces of the Black City, it is by no means an illegal facility.
The so-called "machine factory area that spawns aberrations" and the machine factory that appears in the wild rock wasteland are two different things.
The machine factory in the wild stone wasteland was built purely by black-bone hermits and was a genuine illegal facility.
But in this cracked corridor, the machinery factory that gave birth to the aberrations is actually just a component of the "universal metal powder collection device."
It was not built by illegal forces in the Black City.
Its real builders were the group of alchemists who built walls underground to surround the aberrant lair 30 years ago.
While they were building the wall, they transformed the underground 60 to 100 floors of the Cracked Corridor into a cluster of super-large machinery factories that spawned aberrations—accelerating the production of all-purpose metal powder—collecting and storing metal powder.
The 60th to 80th floors underground are responsible for spawning aberrations and accelerating the production of universal metal powders. This area is called the Machinery Factory Area.
The 81st to 90th floors underground are the energy supply areas that provide energy and power support for the machinery factory area.
From the 90th to 100th floor underground, the common name here is called Black City. Its unknown official name is the "Universal Metal Powder Storage Area", which combines the functions of storing powder and spraying powder to the ground.
Before Li Nuo went underground for the first time, Conte repeatedly warned him not to contact the alchemists in the Black City.
Conte mentioned some folk rumors at the time.
He said:
The illegal alchemy forces in the black city were probably sent there intentionally by the alchemy forces on the ground. Taking control of the underground universal alchemy powder collection device is equivalent to providing more say for the alchemy forces on the ground.
Conte also said:
There are many illegal alchemy forces in the black city, and they were originally participants in the 30-year wall-building activity. After building the wall, they accepted the commission from the Alchemy Temple and stayed underground for a long time to maintain the collection device. This group of people later rebelled and relied on the collection devices they controlled to fight against the Alchemy Temple.
Now taking a look at the memory fragments he had obtained, Li Nuo was sure that the two rumors mentioned by Conte were not groundless.
Because the Split Demon Society, the Steam Supreme Society, and the Alloy Skeleton Society, these three alchemy societies had indeed participated in the wall-building task.
The two black-bone hermits who were instantly killed by Li Nuo had heard the gold-bone alchemist brag more than once about what happened back then, and he spoke vividly and in great detail.
You must know that the golden bone alchemist has an extremely long life after getting rid of the shackles of the body. It is easy for them to live for 30 years.
Therefore, those gold-bone alchemists who brag and chat with the black-bone hermit must have indeed participated in the wall-building mission.
In their mouths, they and others agreed to maintain the underground powder collection device for the Alchemy Temple because the other party promised to send sufficient living alchemy materials every year.
But who knew that the Alchemy Temple had defaulted on its debts since the first year and never sent living alchemy materials.
Over time, conflicts intensified, and the Golden Bone Alchemist and other people who guarded the underground alchemy equipment broke with the Alchemy Temple.
They completely controlled the powder collection device and used it as a threat to destroy all the devices, forcing the Alchemy Temple not to send people down to sweep the Black City.
After reading these memory fragments, Li Nuo probably knew what the Alchemy Temple was doing.
Just like dividing forces into gangs and companies, the Alchemy Temple divided the alchemists involved in living alchemy into two, dividing them into the Life Condensation Society on the ground and the Black City Alchemists below the ground.
Life Ninghua Society started with living body alchemy. Today, he no longer uses living people as alchemy materials, and instead focuses on researching demonized animals.
But look at the alchemists in the Black City. All of them are related to living alchemy, and all of them are obsessed with living alchemy involving the human body.
Li Nuo didn't need to think too much to know that the "living alchemy materials" they referred to must refer to living people.
The Alchemy Temple was established at the end of the Midian Dynasty and witnessed the entire process of the collapse of the dynasty and the rise of aberrations.
At that time, in order to deal with the ten rifts of aberrations across the country, the Alchemy Temple could only unite all the forces that could be combined, and acquiesced in the existence of living alchemists involving living people.
After the construction of the walls of Jucheng was completed, the work of "unloading mills and killing donkeys" began.
The Alchemy Temple lured all living alchemists underground under the pretext of promising to transport living materials, to distinguish them from living alchemy forces like the Life Condensation Society that did not involve living people.
Then, with a single cut, without food, water, or supplies, the Alchemy Temple planned to completely trap the evil living alchemist underground.
As for why we must choose to trap the evil living alchemist deep in the rift corridor instead of other places.
Li Nuo thinks this is a problem of the size of the "bait".
If the bait is not big enough, the evil living alchemist will naturally not take the bait.
Only a bait of the size of the universal metal powder collection device would allow the living alchemist to move forward resolutely even though he knew there might be a pit ahead.
To this day, the living alchemists underground have shown amazing vitality, or they may have received secret funding from certain forces. In short, not only did they not die, they also used the powder collection device as a threat to confront the Alchemy Temple.
If no external force intervenes, the delicate balance between the two will continue.
The above is the current situation analyzed by Li Nuo.
There is only one thought in his mind now.
That is to kill all the illegal alchemists in Black City.
These guys used to brutally kill countless ordinary people just to study living alchemy.
After killing these guys, Li Nuo felt no psychological burden. Because they themselves are declared wanted criminals by the Alchemy Temple, everyone has a bounty from the Alchemy Temple hanging on their head.
Like the guy who bragged about his experiences to the Black Bone Hermit, Li Nuo found his information based on the information he had.
This is an evil alchemist who killed at least 300 humans. The bounty offered by the Alchemy Temple is 5 million aggregate coins.
In addition to him, Li Nuo also found the reward orders for all the Black City alchemists who appeared in the Black Bone Hermit's recent memories.
After cleaning up the battle scene where he instantly killed the Black Bone Hermit and erasing all traces of spells, Li Nuo transformed into a white skull and flew into the shaft.
The further down you go, the more turbid the air becomes.
There was a weak light coming from the exit of the shaft. The light was not dazzling, but was very weak and could not illuminate the shaft.
After Li Nuo flew some distance away, a familiar mechanical noise came from the shaft exit.
"Puff~Puff~" The steam pipe is blowing.
"Hang Chi Chi Chi Chi…" The metal slider makes a reciprocating motion.
The mechanical noise was very slight and seemed to come from a very far away place.
Near the exit of the shaft, mechanical noise becomes clear.
Li Nuo could barely distinguish the direction of the noise. It was the area where the machinery factory was located in the black-bone hermit's memory fragment.
The exit of the shaft where he is currently is located on the ceiling of the 60th floor underground. There is a metal plane and fence on the floor directly below the exit, which is the docking platform of the lifting platform, and next to it is the mechanical lever that controls the lifting platform.
Li Nuo hovered above the shaft exit, hiding in the dark shaft.
He threw the "Psychic Beacon" towards the ground below.
Through multiple vision jumps, Li Nuo used his "mental vision" to see the situation in the machinery factory area.
In the memory of the black-bone hermit, the entire machinery factory area is divided into three divisions: upper level, middle level, and lower level.
The upper zoning is from the 60th to 65th floors underground. This area is mainly responsible for handling liquid materials. It is internally subdivided into culture solution manufacturing plants, culture solution distribution pipeline hubs, sewage purification plants, pure water storage areas, etc.
After the liquid materials are processed in the upper zone, gravity and liquid pipelines can be used to transport them to the middle zone. The mid-rise subdivision occupies underground floors 66 to 70 in the southeastern part of Sector 6.
In the middle partition, the two major types of liquid materials, culture medium and pure water, will be filled into corresponding containers. The culture medium corresponds to the culture tank, and the pure water corresponds to the water storage tank. The filled liquid enters the lower partition with the help of the lifting conveyor belt.
The entire lower division is used to spawn aberrations.
Put the aberrant egg into a culture tank, wait until it matures, rinse it with pure water in the water storage tank, and then move it to a constant-temperature dormancy room.
The aberrant body will be infused with alchemical potions created by living alchemy, and will be excreted continuously during sleep.
Their excrement will be transported by the conveyor belt to other areas in the lower partition, passing through the washing room, sedimentation room, drying room, and powder separation room in sequence. Eventually, the filth in the excrement is cleaned away, leaving only the universal metal powder separated from it. Sewage will be transported to the upper zone for purification.
The universal metal powder produced in the lower division is sent to the Black City for storage, and is sprayed to the ground on the powder spraying day.
Judging from the information available, the difficulty of clearing the machinery factory alone this time is at least 10 times higher than the last time.
There are many facilities, complex corridors, tight pipelines, strong and large guards, and there are also many rappelling passages for them to quickly escape to the Black City.
If he wanted to kill them all at once without letting anyone escape, Li Nuo needed to plan carefully.
"Ten main pipes transporting steam are connected to ten steam boiler rooms respectively. The traps in the main steam pipes alone have a diameter of nearly one meter. It is hard to imagine how much steam flow there will be in the main pipes..."
Li Nuo was suspended in the shaft and concentrated on observing the pipeline facilities in the machinery factory area:
"Eh? I suddenly thought of a question."
Li Nuo opened his eyes, confusion appearing in his eyes:
"If the machinery factory that spawned the aberrations consumes so much steam, where does the fuel for the steam boiler room come from?"
Li Nuo closed his eyes again and realized the vision jump through the combination of "Psychic Vision" and "Psychic Beacon".
Following the main steam pipe all the way to the steam boiler room on the 81st floor underground, Li Nuo found the fuel conveyor belt amid the buzzing sound of the boiler operating.
"The black fuel seems to be common coal, but why is there a layer of water on these fuels..."
Li Nuo muttered to himself and continued to jump around.
One psychic beacon after another was launched along the conveyor belt. Li Nuo made a total of 22 vision jumps before and after, and the perspective of the magic vision came to the 90th floor underground.
A total of 22 vision jumps, which is already the limit of what he can do at the moment.
If he still couldn't see where the fuel conveyor belt started, Li Nuo had to upgrade his "mental vision".
Fortunately, he discovered the source of the fuel in time.
"Hmm~ Not bad, I can have enough energy left to upgrade "Psychic Vision". These fuels are indeed not ordinary coal. They are transformed by living alchemists using the corpses and coals of aberrations. What a weird alchemical formation that can actually transform corpses and coal into fuel with a higher calorific value. I really don’t know who figured out the alchemy formula of this alchemy array. "
In Li Nuo's magic vision, a three-dimensional magic array like a large mixing pot appeared.
The aberrant body, which was emaciated due to excessive excretion during dormancy, was transported by a conveyor belt above the "stirring pot" in its sleep and thrown into the "stirring pot" filled with coal.
Following an indescribable transformation process of the magic array, the alchemical coal was poured into the "stirring pot" on the conveyor belt and headed to the steam boiler room.
The Living Alchemist is really not wasteful at all.
First, squeeze out the excrement of the aberrations, and then send them into the magic circle to convert them into fuel.
Li Nuo always felt that these operations seemed familiar...
If you think about it carefully, the operation method of the meat processing plant seems to be quite similar to the machinery factory area here.
It is said that poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks and geese in meat processing plants only take one to a few months from birth to slaughter. Many animals were killed without even seeing the sky outside the factory. One of the more cruel ones is none other than mass-produced foie gras.
Thinking of this, Li Nuo suddenly understood why there were animal protection organizations in the world before time travel...
Li Nuo terminated his "spiritual vision" and stopped looking at the messy alchemical fuel production site.
"Let me think about it...
"Although this machinery factory occupies a large area, the speed at which aberrations are spawned is not very fast. The culture fluid used here does not contain the life potion produced by Tatis. The speed at which aberrations are grown in culture tanks is very slow. It takes at least ten years to visually inspect It takes a day and a half for an aberration egg to grow into a level 2 standard aberration."
Li Nuo had to worry about this.
The slow cultivation speed means that the production speed and transportation speed of the culture solution are extremely low.
His idea of using death energy water to quickly destroy the entire machinery factory area will definitely not work. Because after the liquid flow rate is reduced, the death energy water cannot flow throughout the entire machinery factory area in a short period of time.
As for putting death energy water into steam pipes and using steam to transport it to all directions...
This can be fatal.
Li Nuo spent about 500 points of soul strength in one breath last time, and then managed to destroy two-thirds of the machinery factory.
But now, the size of this machinery factory is 10 times that of the machinery factory, or even larger.
No matter what, it takes 5,000 points of soul strength to destroy two-thirds of its area.
Is it worth spending 5000 points of soul strength for such an achievement?
not worth it.
Besides, Li Nuo doesn't have that much soul strength...
When he returned to Gathering City after dealing with the contaminated areas at sea, his soul strength inventory was 3177 points, just over 3,000 points.
In the past three days, he used meditation instead of sleeping at night, spending a total of 242 points of soul strength and improving his "spirit" by 3 points.
Today, his "Spirit" has reached 23 points, but his soul strength has dropped below 3,000, to just over 2,900 points.
How could this possibly bring down the machinery factory area in one go...
"Uh... I have a headache... Such a big piece of fat is in front of me. I can't eat it all. It will really kill me."
Li Nuo was thinking about returning the original route, planning to return from the shaft to the 21st floor underground for long-term planning.
"Let's do it. Follow the old method. I focus on destroying the pipeline facilities in key areas and attract the enemy's attention. I stay in place and kill as many enemies as they come. When I've almost killed them, I go to the warehouse to summon Dinah. Si, let her take away the alchemy weapons and me."
Li Nuo flew out of the shaft and stopped on the 21st floor underground, with a conclusion in his mind:
"I have to calm down and regard this opportunity to plunder the machinery factory as an opportunity obtained by chance, and don't have too high demands on myself. If an enemy really takes advantage of the chaos and flees back to the black city to report the news, then the worst I can do is not go there again. The machinery factory area will be fine. Anyway, the Sage Space within the 30th floor underground is enough for me to keep busy."
Li Nuo's mentality became balanced and the pressure on his body was relieved a lot.
He flew back to the warehouse filled with crates and found a comfortable seat to sit down.
Looking around with the magical vision of "Life and Death Tracking", Li Nuo nodded with satisfaction.
Great, those alchemists are done fighting. There were nearly 20 alchemists before and after, but only 6 survived in the end.
The six victors were resting on the 26th floor underground at this time. Apart from the six of them, there was no one else within Li Nuo's magical field of vision.
Li Nuo had no time to deal with the alchemist who had just finished fighting. He was entirely focused on plundering the alchemist's weapons.
Taking out paper and pen, writing and drawing based on the memory in his mind, Li Nuo began to draw the map by hand.
As he was writing, a smooth head stretched out from the front, approached Li Nuo, and looked at the homemade map in his hand.
Li Nuo was frightened by the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, the corners of Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly.
It was the aberration that came and went without a trace. This was the second time it appeared silently.
When Li Nuo trembled, he seemed to have disturbed this strange aberration.
The opponent suddenly stepped back, covering his head with both arms, and stared at Li Nuo in fear.
After seeing that Li Nuo had no desire to attack, it slowly lowered its arms and waited for its big black eyes to look at him.
Li Nuo didn't bother to say hello or anything, and quickly threw out the deconstruction technique.
The last time the other party left in a hurry, Li Nuo didn't bother to use deconstruction to deconstruct it. This time, he would never miss the opportunity to deconstruct it.
"System, consume 1,000 energy points to harmlessly deconstruct this strange aberration."
As Li Nuo recited silently, a few pitiful deconstruction results appeared in his mind.
【system information:】
[Deconstruction successful! 】
[Your deconstruction completion rate of "unknown name of alien space pollution products" has increased to 0.1%]
[You have obtained very little of the target’s panel information:]
【Name】Unknown
[Type] Alien space pollution products
【Class】Unknown
【Combat Level】Unknown
[Identity] Childhood Cursed Angel (tentative name)
(Due to insufficient completion of deconstruction, the accuracy of deconstruction is not high, and no more information can be obtained)
…
Damn it, the system said this is an angel? !
Li Nuo was shocked and tried hard to control his surging emotions.
Reading the results of the previous analysis again, his attention was deeply attracted by the word "angel".
There is no concept of "angel" in this world. Those humanoid creatures with wings that can fly are generally called wingmen, wing monsters, wing flappers, etc.
The appearance of the flying wing aberration appeared in Li Nuo's mind.
Not to mention, these gray-skinned flying creatures do look a bit like legendary angels.
But what does this have to do with the alien space pollution products in front of us?
Li Nuo thought for a moment and nodded secretly.
Cursed Angel, the creature in front of you is judged by the system as a cursed angel.
In other words, the curse on the aberrant body comes from it, is this what you mean? Or is it itself the product of some kind of curse?
How is this curse triggered?
Li Nuo called up his own panel information and glanced at it, but he didn't see any curse words on his body.
This made Li Nuo breathe a sigh of relief.
If he is turned into a deformed body by a weird curse, it will be a lot of fun, and it will definitely scare Dinas...
