An ownerless rift corridor, no rules of combat, no morals and no legal constraints, no limit to killing.

The Alchemy Sanctuary has emptied the Heavy Forge Association branch in Sector 6 and opened the underground entrance to the Rift Corridor.

As an association of alchemists mainly engaged in the alchemy manufacturing industry, the Heavy Forge Association has a vast alchemy factory area. Correspondingly, in Sector 6, there are many underground entrances from the ground to the Rift Corridor.

Every underground entrance is wide open.

The clearing near the entrance was crowded with makeshift camps of various alchemy forces. Large and small tents and metal fences enclose the underground entrance.

If it weren't for the temple guards to maintain order on the spot, the swarming alchemy forces would have been eager to directly seal the underground entrance with the alchemy array, take it for themselves, and make a windfall by collecting admission money.

The alchemy forces that arrive at the underground entrance first can take the lead in occupying the favorable terrain.

Sector 7 of the Golden Chamber of Commerce is right next door. Therefore, Conte and other security guards, as well as Daric and other swords of gold merchants, have long surrounded the underground entrance closest to Sector 7.

Li Nuo's adventure is based on the theme of stealth.

Instead of meeting the Gold Chamber of Commerce, he entered the bustling Rift Corridor through the underground entrance controlled by several small and medium-sized forces.

At the moment when the effect of the "Body Illusion" on his body ended, Li Nuo had already arrived at the corridor area below the southwest of Sector 6.

He was on the fourth basement floor, and when he looked around, he saw the corridor that had been plowed with guns and bombs.

There were scorching marks of explosions everywhere, and the ground was covered with messy footprints.

The alchemy table and various mechanical devices that the Heavy Forging Association had left here were all violently overturned to the ground, and the most valuable alchemy parts on them were forcibly removed.

As you can imagine, before Li Nuo came here, several groups of people had a fire here. They scrambled to smash the Heavy Forge Society's discarded assets, eager to enter the lower floors to loot the loot.

Li Nuo looked at the number of footprints on the ground, and then opened the "Life and Death Tracking" to check the floor below.

He nodded calmly, a cold smile rising into his mouth.

Very good.

The gunmen who appear here are all gang members. There is also a familiar face among them, it is the "wolf guard" who attacked the water convoy at night and tried to take away Fars. This man is an alchemist of the Dog Gang.

In addition to the Fierce Dogs, there are also gunners and alchemists from the three gangs of the Blood Foxes, the Condors, and the Steam Armor Gang on the floors below.

A total of four gang forces gathered here. After a fight on the 4th basement floor, they found that no one could help anyone, so they agreed to be responsible for a piece of the cloister area.

As a result, the four gangs each occupy a corner of the underground floor, watch out for each other, and do not interfere with each other.

Thank you to the Alchemy Sanctuary for preserving the gray and violent organization of gangs and separating them from the peaceful and friendly security companies.

In this way, the gang forces will automatically gather together, and no good people will mix into their ranks.

If Li Nuo is forced to clash with the gang members, he can fight back with peace of mind without worrying about hurting the good people.

"Yes, yes, let the plunder begin."

Li Nuo took out the face-covering robe and put it on himself, and put on an alchemy cloak outside that confused his vision.

He activated the "breath of the dead", entered his skeleton form, and rushed to the floor below.

The 18th basement floor of Sector 6 is a large flat with a corridor height of more than 20 meters.

It was one of the floors that served as an outpost 30 years ago.

It originally built showers, lounges, restaurants, casinos and other facilities, and laid pipes to carry clean water and boiling water.

Today, the living facilities there are deserted, and the Heavy Forging Association has been converted into an underground workshop.

In the central area of this level, there is a well three meters deep and two meters wide.

This well is a very small resource-based sage space, also known as the Alchemy Well.

Its previous owner had been quacked off 30 years earlier, and now it is a standard ownerless.

Li Nuo used "perceptual tampering" to avoid the gang members, and quietly went to the 18th floor of the basement and saw the well.

Li Nuo drank the night vision potion in advance, but if he wanted to see the transparent liquid of well water clearly, he still had to use a light source.

He picked up the alchemy lamp and shone it into the well, and saw the damp walls reflecting the light, and the three-dimensional array patterns floating in the air.

Moving his gaze downward, the water from the well inside the well fell to the bottom of the well, where Li Nuo found a ball of yarn with a four-colored elemental light.

The original owner of the alchemy well may have been a ball of yarn lover. He designed his Sage Lock to be a crumpled ball of energy yarn.

Each "yarn" on the Sage's lock is made of elemental energy.

Untying this unique "ball of yarn" is equivalent to lifting the lock of the sage, and then you can see the core array of the sage space wrapped in the "ball of yarn".

The next step is to use the alchemy mark of the original owner to obtain the control authority of the core magic array.

After obtaining the control permission, erasing the alchemy mark of the original owner, you can completely transform this sage space into an ownerless thing that anyone can control.

The core idea of the whole operation process is similar to unlocking a smartphone and canceling the lock screen password.

Leno throws a deconstruction spell at the Wizard Lock in the form of a ball of yarn.

[System News:]

[You are about to use deconstruction on the "Alchemy Well".] 】

[Based on your alchemy knowledge skills, the energy required for this deconstruction has been reduced to 22,000 points.] 】

[Do you confirm deconstruction?] 】

"Huh? Can't the Sage Lock be deconstructed alone? ”

Li Nuo blinked, shifting his angle and throwing out the deconstruction technique by aiming at the sage lock below.

Just as deconstructing the alchemist must deconstruct the alchemy stone and cannot deconstruct the alchemist himself alone, Li Nuo cannot only deconstruct the sage lock.

There's no way around it, let's honestly deconstruct the entire alchemy well.

Li Nuo looked at his energy inventory.

In the field of pollution, the amount of energy value obtained is large, and the cost is also large.

Now he still has 51,147 energy points in his hands.

Just opening the sage lock will consume 22,000 energy points, so how much energy should be consumed to crack the alchemy mark left by the previous sage.

Li Nuo sighed secretly.

After all, an alchemy sage is an alchemy sage, and just an alchemy well will make him bleed.

Despite feeling distressed about the energy value, Li Nuo silently recited "Confirm and deconstruct". It's a big deal to find an opportunity to do a vote and make up for your energy.

The alchemy materials and magic circles required for maintenance are as follows: (omitted)

【Binding conditions】

1. Your "spirit" should be higher than 20 points.

2. When this item is bound to your soul, it will cause you to gain a negative effect "Mental Burden (Level 7)". This effect lasts until you unbind the object, and it temporarily drops your Spirit by 7 points.

【Description】

1. Carrying only this item, not binding to it, will not give you the negative effect "Mental Burden (Level 7)".

2. You must bind it before you can expand it into a sage space.

…

"The information on the panel that I deconstructed is consistent with the knowledge I have in the alchemy books. My previous speculation was also correct, binding the Sage Particle does temporarily deduct the "spirit" attribute value. ”

Li Nuo climbed over the fence by the well, entered the wellhead, and fell to the well water below.

"Plop" fell into the water, and Li Nuo sank to the bottom.

In his skeletal form, he didn't need to worry about not being able to breathe underwater, because he didn't have to breathe in the first place.

After reaching out to touch the "yarn ball" at the bottom of the water, Li Nuo pinched the energy lines stretching out the "yarn ball" with his flexible bone fingers.

According to the method of lifting the "Sage Lock" on the panel information, and pulling out the energy lines step by step, Li Nuo quickly untied the messy "thread ball" from it.

A metal piece carved with the patterns of the complex array appeared in front of him, which was the core array of the Sage Space.

Don't look at this piece of metal is only the size of a palm, it is extremely thin, but in fact, with the blessing of the rules of space, it is the hardest thing in the well, and it is rigidly fixed to the bottom of the water.

Li Nuo pulled out the rune rod and calmed down, keeping the alchemy mark of the previous sage firmly in his mind.

After making sure that there was no deviation in his memory, he used his "pen" to modify the pattern of the magic formation on the metal plate.

"Boom..."

There was a muffled sound of explosions in the cloister area above.

The four gangs were struggling to clear the hallways of the aberrations.

Their goal is also this alchemical well.

Don't get me wrong, though, they don't have the skills to crack the Sage Lock and the Alchemy Seal.

As Li Nuo passed by the gang's ranks, he listened to their conversation.

Those guys plan to take the lead in laying an alchemy trap next to the alchemy well, or even a trap-type sage space. Since you can't own the alchemy well, no one else wants to use it. That's what the gang team thinks.

The muffled sound of the explosion just now sounded relatively close, and it was estimated that in a few moments, the first gang team to arrive here would appear.

Li Nuo was not disturbed by the muffled sound of the explosion, and always remained calm.

After he made the last stroke on the metal sheet, his own soul energy poured into the magic array patterns on the metal sheet.

A hazy four-element light blooms underneath the dim waters. After about 10 seconds, the light quickly converges on the metal sheet.

Li Nuo put away the rune stick, reached out and grabbed the glowing metal piece, and gently picked it up from the bottom of the water.

At the moment when the metal piece is out of the water, the well water and the wall are sucked into the metal sheet like a canvas.

In less than two seconds, the surrounding scene changed dramatically, and Li Nuo was already in a pit without any well water.

This pit was originally excavated to house the alchemy well.

Now, the alchemical well, which has accompanied it for more than 30 years, has disappeared, and it has naturally emerged.

Li Nuo stuffed the shining metal piece into the blood space, and without lingering, he directly turned into a white skull and flew into the corridor.

There were a few aberrations wandering around the pits, noticing the pits that appeared abruptly on the ground.

They gathered around and stared at the pit.

With their limited capacity, they probably can't figure out where the original well went.

Whether Li Nuo came here or left here, he didn't bother with the aberrations.

But there are exceptions.

Like now.

Before opening the metal gate to the 19th basement floor, Li Nuo killed an aberrant without leaving a trace, transforming it into his own dead.

The metal gate is covered with slime, and as soon as the door opens, the slime falls. Li Nuo must restore the mucus after entering the door, otherwise it will cause others to be alerted. This is where the aberrant deceased comes in.

Li Nuo stepped into the stairwell and closed the door.

The deformed deceased picked up the slime that had fallen and re-slipped it on the door panel, restoring everything to its original state.

After completing this step, it gloriously stepped into the shaft mouth and completed the destruction of the corpse in free fall.

Li Nuo does this on every floor. So, the gang members who only cared about shooting guns and looting loot have not been able to detect the uninvited guests in the Rift Corridor.

On the 18th basement floor, there are some other resource-based sage spaces. Their products are mainly minerals, green plants, natural rubber, etc.

Time and energy were limited, and Li Nuo temporarily put aside the resource-based sage space that was outside the plan.

Once he had completed his current plan, it would not be too late to consider plundering other sage spaces.

"The next place I'm going to is the 28th basement, which is also an abandoned outpost. The underground map I got from the Alchemy Access Device only included floors 20 floors and above. I'll have to figure out how to get to the 28th basement floor myself. ”

Li Nuo stepped into the 21st basement floor in thought.

A fierce wind blew, and the smell of distorted bodies, which was far stronger than the upstairs, came to my face.

Li Nuo saw the scene of the 21st floor underground clearly, and couldn't help but fall into a daze.

"It's... That's how it turned out here. ”

The corridors he had walked through before were completely enclosed, surrounded by hard walls.

But here, the corridor is semi-open. The stairwell metal gate is flanked by an airtight wall on one side and a metal fence on the other.

Outside the metal fence, there is a bottomless cliff, pitch black, cold and oppressive.

The cold wind, which carried the stench of distorted bodies, blew up from above the cliffs and poured into the semi-open corridor.

Li Nuo came to the edge of the metal fence and slammed it out in large quantities.

Layer after layer of semi-open corridors stretch downward in circles like spiral lines on a snail's shell. The corridors on each floor are 10 to 20 meters high and more than 5 meters wide.

Li Nuo noticed that the corridors on each floor used different colors of floor tiles to mark their respective functions.

The red floor tiles have fixed brackets for the base of the alchemy turret. It seems that this is the area where the alchemy fort was placed 30 years ago.

The blue floor tiles cling to the stone brick walls, and there are mechanical slides that have fallen into disrepair, scattered with broken gears and dry oil. This is the track of 30 years ago for the rapid transportation of ammunition and other materials.

Other colors, such as green, purple, black, etc., were not clear to Li Nuo as there was nothing on them.

Looking at the corridor stretching far below, Li Nuo had to sigh for this vast alchemy project.

"Okay, can't delay, I'm not here to travel."

Li Nuo came back to his senses and began to look for a way to the lower floor.

He drew his dagger and tried to cut through the metal fence.

The metal poles in the metal fence are evenly distributed, with a gap of no more than 6 cm between them.

When Li Nuo performed the "Bone Spirit Flying Technique", his appearance was a white skull about 20 centimeters wide.

If you can cut through the metal fence and let yourself fly out, then going from outside the fence to the 28th basement floor is undoubtedly the most efficient and convenient solution.

"No, the alchemy materials used in this metal fence are not ordinary. My alchemy dagger, which is level 12, can't leave scratches on its surface. ”

Li Nuo threw out the deconstruction technique and looked at it.

Good guys, these metal fences are level 35, no wonder their little daggers can't even leave scratches.

Li Nuo carefully inspected the metal fence and found no mechanical switches or alchemy arrays that could open it.

Then there is no choice but to walk honestly through the stairwell.

Li Nuo shook his head slightly and put the dagger away.

He looked away from the metal fence and followed the turn of his head to look at the corridor.

A big-eyed child with a miserable white color suddenly came into his sight.

it...

Li Nuo was startled, and his skeletal body trembled.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a state of "breath of the dead" and his mood swings were minimized, he would not have screamed in surprise.

On closer inspection, it's not human, but a strangely aberrant being.

Its body shape and facial contour are about the same as that of a human 8-year-old child, with a height of more than a meter and a thin body, as if it had been malnourished for a long time.

Its eyes were large and dark.

This aberrations are strange.

It silently came to Li Nuo's side, stopping to look at Li Nuo, as if it could tell that the skeleton in front of it was not a dead person, but an extraordinary one, a wizard, a living person.

Lino and it stared wide-eyed.

The other party doesn't move, he doesn't move.

A deconstruction technique was thrown at the aberration, and Li Nuo gasped fiercely in the bottom of his heart.

[System News:]

[You are about to launch a deconstruction technique against the "Extraordinary One with an Unknown Name".] 】

[It is estimated that 100,000 energy points will be consumed, which can make the deconstruction completion reach 100%.] 】

【Attention! 】

[The system detects that deconstructing this target will have a very serious negative effect on you!] 】

[The system recommends using a harmless deconstruction method to deconstruct it.] 】

"I'm going... It takes 100,000 energy points to deconstruct 100%! And it's better to deconstruct it using harmless deconstruction! Is this the giant in the aberration? Huh? Wait, how is the name assigned by the system to it 'Extraordinary with an unknown name'? Shouldn't it be a 'XXXX aberration'? ”

Li Nuo suddenly realized that something was wrong.

His gaze slowly moved, scrutinizing the deformed object in front of him several times.

The distorted skin is also gray, but whiter than the usual aberration. The surface of the skin is free of wrinkles and dents, and it is smooth, and the distorted mucus hanging on the body like sweat is faintly visible.

Aside from the extra pair of watery black eyes, the short, small aberration in front of him looked like some kind of severely stunted bipedal aberration.

But how could it be called an "extraordinary" by the system...

Li Nuo thought for a moment, and didn't pull out his wand or alchemical firearm.

He raised his hand, shook it at the other, and said hello.

The short deformed figure shuddered as if frightened, and subconsciously covered his head with his hands.

It looked at Li Nuo through the gap between its two slender arms, and when it saw that the other party had no intention of attacking, its eyes widened in surprise and its mouth opened.

It's amazing, Li Nuo actually saw a surprised expression on the face of a distorted person!

There was a very complicated look in the eyes of this little thing.

Moreover, its open mouth is not petal-shaped, but has two rows of teeth and a scarlet tongue like a human.

"I see! Could this be..."

A flash of lightning flashed through Li Nuo's mind!

He pulled up the panel from the deconstructed distortion as quickly as he could, focusing on the "type" column.

…

Type: Living alchemy product, cursed

…

A product of living alchemy.

Since it is "living" alchemy, it will inevitably use living creatures.

Li Nuo's heart sank, and there were some bad guesses in his heart.

He was about to find a way to communicate with the dwarf distortion in front of him, when he felt a slight tremor come from the floor above.

"Boom..."

A faint muffled sound caused a slight shaking, and the dust from the ceiling was shaken off.

Li Nuo looked up.

At the limit of his magical vision, he saw a figure caught in a scuffle.

The gang members found the pit, and they became suspicious of each other and even fought each other.

"These guys better all die in the scuffle. That way, when I return, I'll be able to comfortably plunder the other sage spaces. ”

Li Nuo looked down at the ground, and then glanced around suspiciously.

"Huh? What about that weird aberration? It was still here just now, why is it gone all of a sudden? ”

Li Nuo pulled up his panel information and looked at it.

He has no negative effects on his "status bar" that distort perception.

I haven't received a similar system message just now.

Looking at the slime carpet without the slightest footprint, Li Nuo now understood.

He had met a deformed giant who had come and gone without a trace.

The real thing.

And there is no obvious hostility towards himself.

Since there is no hostility, then there should be another encounter next time, and then consider harmless deconstruction, or communicate with the other party.

Li Nuo shook his head, drove out the distracting thoughts, and hurried to find a way down.
