156. Buying people's hearts

"Do your best to protect yourselves, and leave all the enemies to me."

Before Li Nuo opened his firepower, he said a word of advice to Meevle and the others.

Surrounded by a large amount of contaminated products, Maeve and the alchemists chose to follow Li Nuo's instructions.

They withdrew their weapons aimed at their enemies, interrupted their attacking movements, and instead used spell barriers and alchemy shields that enhanced their damage absorption to protect themselves.

The elemental ball that Maevele has mastered is a water polo.

She lifted the balloon above her head with both hands, and sprinkled an umbrella-like curtain of water from the balloon like a fountain, covering herself and the alchemists around her.

The alchemist who guards Mevele is a Warcraft hunter from the Cat Society. Their signature alchemy weapon is the Alchemy Gauntlet, which comes in many forms. The gloves went from thick guns and sharp hooks to dark and sturdy alchemical shields, forming a shield barrier that enveloped everyone.

Under the double layer of protection, Li Nuo is sure that he doesn't need to worry about accidentally hurting his friends.

Holding a wand in each hand, Li Nuo took a deep breath and turned on the "Death Incarnation" without hesitation.

His body was pitch black, his eyes were shining with cold light, and his arms were shaking as if they had been fitted with motors.

The black lightning was dense like thunder, falling from a high altitude towards the enemies surrounding Maevle and the others, exploding into black sparks.

"Crackle, crackle..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The thunder of lightning and the sound of explosions lasted for a long time, as if Li Nuo had an endless amount of spell-casting resources.

The enemies surrounding Meevle and the others were visibly reduced to the naked eye, and the fierce onslaught of spell lightning showed no signs of condensation.

Whenever Mei Fule and the others thought that Li Nuo was going to stop and take a break, they were surprised to find that the other party had no idea of stopping at all.

Endless, vast, and an ocean of black lightning overwhelming, exploding the eardrums of Meevle and others, who were protected by the shield barrier, swelled and painful.

Under the constant roar and explosion of lightning, the noise of the alien sky became inaudible.

The oppressive, heavy, and overwhelming burden brought by the pollution of the polluted realm and the alien sky all disappeared with the surging firepower of one's own side.

Li Nuo perfectly explained at this moment what is called fire coverage and what is called slamming damage.

Thousands of kilometers above Li Nuo, the battle alchemists who were fighting fiercely with the Pollution Angels noticed the movement caused by Li Nuo.

The Polluting Angels seemed to be under invisible control, roaring and flapping their wings as they tried to break free from the battle alchemist and lay siege to Lino.

The commander of the Battle Alchemists sensed the Polluted Angels' intentions in time, and he shouted at his teammates to do everything in their power to keep the Polluted Angels in place.

Therefore, the enemy who was unilaterally crushed by Li Nuo failed to usher in any help.

After about 20 seconds, the smoke cleared and the wind calmed down.

In the space around Li Nuo, only countless corpse fragments floated, and there was no trace of half of the blood day pollution products.

[System News:]

[You have eliminated the false Fquoia, Gardner, Kevin, Sharp, five tainted artificial angels, and a large number of Blood Sun Transformers. 】

[Passive deconstruction activation! ] 】

【You have obtained the following solution results:】

[1. A total of about 80,000 energy points are rewarded.] 】

[2. You have unlocked the standardized panels for the Elemental Trial Three-Ring Battle Wizard, the Night Spirit Three-Ring Witch, and the Hortamus Death Sorting Three-Ring Battle Wizard.] 】

[3. You have obtained personalized panel information for all targets killed, as well as recent harmless memory fragments.] 】

[4. Due to the destruction of magic items, your skill experience in "Magic Tailoring", "Wand Making", and "Magic Scroll Making" has increased slightly.] 】

[5. Due to the corruption of the target killed, you have not been able to obtain new knowledge skills.] 】

Li Nuo closed the "Death Incarnation", glanced at the system news in his mind, and breathed a long sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc.

The others at the scene were not as calm as Li Nuo.

The shield barrier was lifted, and Maevle looked around, her pupils trembling, her shoulders trembling, and her mouth open, but she never could utter a complete sentence.

The Monster hunters cheered and marveled at each other, and thanked Li Nuo one after another.

Obviously, as a wizard, Maeve knew far more than the Monster Hunters how amazing the power of the spell bombardment just now was, and how terrifying the death-like magic behind it was.

Li Nuo simply responded to the Monster Hunters' thanks and did not go to explain to Maeve Le. Because there is no need, Maeve will naturally make up all this.

Li Nuo took out a new type of mechanical spirit from the blood space and threw it into the air.

Resembling a dragonfly, the spirit flapped its wings and weaved through the debris of corpses. They have a crystal on their tails, which is the "Spirit Sucking Crystal" used to collect soul crumbs.

This group of free-flying robots is called "Salvage Robots" and is numbered "Experiment-Type I".

They have no ability to fight head-on, and can only be used to clean up battlefields, pick up loot, and recycle soul debris.

In addition to the sucking crystals set in the tails, they can also grasp loot with a volume of no more than 10 cubic decimeters and a weight of no more than 0.5 kilograms through their feet.

For now, the payload of this Experiment-I salvage machine is very small.

This is mainly limited by the mode of movement and the strength of the alchemy material.

The special salvage machine that can fly is definitely more flexible than the one that can only run on the ground, but the corresponding load capacity will inevitably be reduced, and the material requirements are also higher.

The salvage special machine spirit that appears on the battlefield at present is an experimental model determined by Li Nuo after repeated exploration and testing, with the best comprehensive performance and the widest adaptability, and can complete salvage tasks in various complex terrains.

Li Nuo scattered these 12 salvage special mechanical spirits out, and he could stand aside and use "mind control" to manipulate them to collect loot.

Deliberately showing his alchemy results in front of Mevele was part of the plan, and Li Nuo was not worried about triggering any negative consequences, he had a way to deal with it.

Li Nuo looked overhead.

The group of battle alchemists helped him hold the Pollution Angel back, and his act of crushing a large group of pollution products ignited the fighting passion of the battle alchemists. At this time, the situation on the battlefield there began to tilt towards the side of the Alchemy Sanctuary. Li Nuo did not need to come to help.

Taking advantage of the efforts to clean up the battlefield, Li Nuo asked Maefra, who was gradually coming back to her senses:

"Ma'am, has the Tomb of the Witches proposed to the Alchemy Sanctuary to send wizards to help?"

Maevle took a slight breath and said:

"Yes, Lei Li. However, this offer was rejected by the Alchemy Sanctuary. Therefore, the wizards summoned by the Witch Tomb failed to reach here through the portal. ”

Li Nuo nodded slowly:

"Then it seems that the only way to solve the pollution realm is with the local combat alchemists and us. Fortunately, the star filter reacted in time and closed the gap in the sky as quickly as possible. ”

Mayfleur said a few words to the monster hunters beside her, and separated the other party and the others to support the alchemists above.

After the Monster Hunter was gone, Maefle thought again and again and said:

"Li Lei, the identity you introduced before does not match the strength you are showing now. I probably know what's going on, it must have something to do with Dinas, right? ”

"You guessed it right, ma'am." Li Nuo took over the conversation and responded in a steady tone:

"I have a great relationship with Dinas and you should know what that means. So most of the time, I hide my true strength. I will not expose my relationship with Dinas unless I have to. ”

Maeve looked "sure enough" and sighed lightly:

"It's no wonder that when Felia was traumatized, she was helped by Dinas. I wondered if it was because of you. ”

Li Nuo spread his hands and said:

"Please forgive me for hiding my strength and my relationship with Dinas. We have to do it. Exposing contractual relationships often leads to a lot of potential hostility. From the time the two of us moved to such a remote place as Gathering City, you know that we don't like to live in fear. For the sake of me helping you out, I want you to keep it a secret for me. May I? ”

"No problem. This is what I should do. Maeve replied with a bow.

"Thank you." Li Nuo summoned two dragonfly machine spirits, took off the spirit absorbing crystal on the tail of the machine spirit, and handed it over:

"Please take it, this is the loot you and the group of Monster Hunters deserve, and it can also be regarded as my hush money."

The Soul Absorbing Crystal that Li Nuo shared with Mei Fule was not a small Spirit Absorbing Crystal with a capacity of only 100 soul energy.

He took a large soul-absorbing crystal from Dinas and violently destroyed it, successfully triggering passive deconstruction.

Therefore, the soul-absorbing crystals on the dragonfly machine spirit's tail are all large soul-absorbing crystals with a capacity of up to 1,000 soul energy.

Li Nuo can forcefully envelop all the soul crumbs.

However, there is not only fighting, killing and bullying between wizards, but also human sophistication and cannibalistic mouths and short hands.

If you take the soul crumbs that Li Nuo shared, and dare to talk nonsense everywhere, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Mei Fule naturally understood what Li Nuo meant.

She calmly accepted the spirit absorbing crystal shared by the other party, and repeatedly promised that she and the Monster Hunter would not leak secrets.

Li Nuo smiled at Mevele's cooperation, and asked why the other party appeared here with the Monster Hunter and was surrounded by enemies.

Maefler's reply was as expected by Lino.

The local wizard learned from the professor that Gardner and Kevin had been killed, and then from the Mausoleum of the Stars, that the Contamination Realm had appeared in the depths of the Rift Corridor.

With the two events intertwining, Meevle decides to lead the Monster Hunters deep into the Black City to find out the truth about Gardner's death and pollution.

Halfway through, Maeve meets Sharp and invites him to join the team.

It's a pity. As a three-ring death battle wizard, Sharp's lethality is very prominent in the entire team, so he is attacked by the enemy's sneak attack and concentrated fire.

Two minutes before Leno discovers Mevele, Sharp is tragically killed and becomes one of the Blood Sun Transformers.

While listening to Maeve's story, Li Nuo manipulated the dragonfly machine to clean up the battlefield.

As the dragonfly machine spirit handed over Frodia's relics to Lino, Maevle spoke:

"Lei Li, I need to collect the relics of Vergoudia, Gardner, Kevin, and Sharp. I will use a magical messenger to return the relics to the Unas Ring and give them to Fquoia and their loved ones. ”

Li Nuo handed over the relics in his hand to Mevele.

Looking at this beautiful woman with a slightly sad face, Li Nuo was relieved:

"Mourning, ma'am, the world is impermanent. But how can there be pollution in the alien sky here? ”

Li Nuo asked knowingly, in order to remove himself from this extraterrestrial sky pollution outbreak, and at the same time guide Maefler to deal with the pollution field in front of him.

"I suspect it has something to do with the alien air pollution invasion that took place in the mid-to-late Dian Jin Dynasty. This is the last alien pollution invasion event here in the Golden Federation on the alien pollution invasion log recorded by the Star Filter. At the time of this pollution incident, there was no magic agency in the Unas Ring in the Dianjin Dynasty, so we have no way of knowing the cause and effect of the incident. When I say this, I am not unfounded speculation. I have some basis for speculation. ”

Maeve looked at the Black City Spire below, her gaze falling on the red smoke that poured out of the spire.

She pointed there:

"You see, the core of the polluted realm is in the halls of the minaret. That place sealed the heart of the Great Rift's lair. This means that the appearance of the Polluted Realm is somewhat related to the heart of the Great Rift. And the heart of the nest, in the history of the Dianjin Dynasty, appeared in the 20 years after the alien sky pollution invasion. I didn't originally connect the alien air pollution invasion that took place in the mid-to-late Dian Jin Dynasty to the aberrations. But knowing that the heart of the Pollution Realm is in the heart of the nest, it's hard for me to maintain my original judgment. ”

Maevele said in an accentuated tone:

"The heart of the nest is closely related to the field of pollution, and I'm pretty sure of that. What is the relationship between the two, we will have to go to the hall to find out. ”

Maeve was inexplicably a little excited:

"For a long time, the Alchemy Sanctuary did not allow the Elemental Judgment to study aberrations. The tasks given to us by the wizard as they move forward have been delayed again and again, and there has been no progress. I have a hunch. Figuring out the cause and effect between the Heart of the Hive and the Polluted Realm could lead to a breakthrough in the study of aberrations. I'll have to go down the hall and have a look. ”

"Then, ma'am, I suggest you go back in a different form that can cast spells." Li Nuo thought for a while and said:

"I've found the pollution here, and there's a very strong thirst for flesh and blood. If you could act in a non-flesh-free magical form like I did, it would be much less hostile. ”

Maevelle shook her head and said:

"Elemental spells that can turn into elemental bodies are high-level spells and have a short duration. I've used it once before you come over to help, and this is the only time I've ever used it today. ”

"That's right..."Li Nuo knew that he had missed the opportunity to see the elemental high-level spells. Judging by Mevele's description, that spell may be similar to "Death Incarnate".

It is a feasible way to draw a magic scroll of "breath of the dead" on the spot and hand it to the other party to use.

However, considering that there were enemies below, and that the process of drawing the magic scroll could not be missed, Li Nuo temporarily suppressed the idea of drawing the scroll on the spot.

As for getting Maeve into the water balloon appearance, then go to the Hall of the Spire. It's not realistic.

Because the Water Ball is a cosmetic effect for flying spells, Maeve can only cast spells after they are out of flight. Once attacked, she is forced to revert back to her original form.

So, there is no way to use flying spells to probe the hall.

Let's see how it goes, and then decide if you want to draw the magic scroll.

Li Nuo clapped his hands and said:

"I'm going to explore the way first. I'll come and talk to you after confirming the situation there. ”

Maevele thanked her.

The loot cleanup at the site was halfway through.

Li Nuo pointed to the remains left behind by those Blood Sun transformers, and asked again knowingly:

"Do you have any thoughts on this strange flesh creation?"

Maefler voiced her judgment:

"I haven't learned anything about compiling flesh and blood, so I'm afraid I won't be able to provide valuable insights. All I know is that this group of flesh and blood creations is transformed from aberrations. I've seen the aberrations wandering through the hallways, popping apart and transforming into monsters.

"This is supposed to be a product of pollution from alien sky pollution that we have not yet discovered. This alien contamination has the ability to transform flesh and blood into minions. Its minions can evolve by devouring large amounts of flesh, or it can burrow into flesh objects to control enemies. Humanoids like the mountain-like creatures, they're controlled by the contaminants to attack us. ”

Maeve paused, looking at the Pollution Giant above in confusion:

"But it's strange to say that this giant with feathered wings never seems to have ever appeared in our field of vision, right? Could it be that they are also a product of alien air pollution? ”

Li Nuo took over the conversation and said, "Is it possible that something left over from the ancient era?" ”

The two discussed.

Leno did not specify the origin of the angels.

He believed that it was only a matter of time before the sorcerers believed in their intellectual curiosity to understand the origin of the artificial angels and the Blood Sun Transversioners.

Li Nuo only wants to play the role of a "corrector" to prevent the wizards from going astray and causing new disasters.

The current pollution incident has brought Li Nuo a lot of wealth. If there are a few more shows, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to pie in the sky.

But it's important to know that pollution kills, and those who die are often heroic, fearless, and committed to protecting peace.

If Li Nuo deliberately created an alien sky pollution incident and let this group of upright people die in vain, then he would not be Li Nuo, which violated his principles.

After comprehensive consideration and trade-offs, quietly taking on the role of remedial and corrector is the best choice for Li Nuo at the moment.

The dragonfly machine spirit sent the "Spirit Absorbing Crystals" to Li Nuo.

He held the crystal and placed it in the blood space, activating the "soul absorption".

The capacity of the Large Soul Absorbing Crystal is 1000 Soul Power. Li Nuo can collect 20% of them with "Soul Absorption", which is 200 points. The remaining 800 points are wasted during the draw-up process.

- When using the Spirit Sucking Crystal as the energy source of a magic device, 95% of the soul energy will escape, so it is better to use "Soul Suck" to suck out the soul energy in the Spirit Sucking Crystal.

By the time all the soul fragments and recyclable magic items on the battlefield were collected, the soul strength inventory on Li Nuo's panel had reached 7,056 points. Just crossed the 7,000-point integer mark.

And that's just one of the gains.

Killing the fake Fquoia, Gardner, Kevin, and Sharp unlocks three standard panels, including "Night Spirituality Three-Ring Wizard" and "Elemental Trial Three-Ring Battle Wizard", with a total reward of about 80,000 energy points.

As a result, the data on the panel has reached a blood-pumping level.

[Soul Strength] 7056

[Energy] 332600/25(23+2)

This sudden wealth has further improved Li Nuo's confidence.

"I'm going to check on the steeple hall now. Ma'am, wait for my news. ”

Li Nuo left Maevle for a moment and flew down on a magic broomstick.

The red smoke that poured out of the hall of the spire flowed through the city like a river, flooding the city's warehouses and pipes.

As the red smoke reaches the edge of the city, it spreads horizontally and merges into the red slime that surrounds the entire polluted area.

Obviously, the red slime that acts as the outer shell of the polluted field is supported by the red smoke that can continue to expand outward.

Cut off this red smoke and the polluted area will stop moving and expanding.

But it's so hard to cut off the red smoke.

Li Nuo didn't feel anything when he was flying high in the air, but when he was close to the spire hall, he felt his insignificance.

The red smoke that erupted from the hall formed a waterfall of smoke that was more than 100 meters high and 50 meters wide. The smoke flows extremely fast and thrusts ferociously.

It is definitely not a simple matter to force yourself into the hall under such an imposing smoke.

Li Nuo settled his mind, thought about it for a while, and planned to raise the level of the three shields again, so that he could be completely assured.

He pulled up the panel and invested three huge sums of money of up to 25,350 points in one go, raising all three shield skills to level 100.

"Cool~"

Li Nuo looked at the shield strength of up to 200 points on the panel, and felt full of security.

He closed the list of spells and looked at the entrance to the hall.

A fleshy eye, which used strips of flesh as eyelashes, appeared in the cracks of the red smoke, staring straight at him.
