163. Underground "Adventure"

A little more than an hour later, inside a detached hut in sector 7.

Leno completed the work of instilling knowledge in Maefla. He entered his study and summoned Dinas over.

Under the gaze of the other party, Li Nuo took out ten gold bars and a few gold coins and put them on the table.

"Dinas, put these coins and bars away. Let's do a quick reconciliation. ”

Li Nuo sat down at his desk.

Dinas smoothed the hem of her skirt and sat down across from Lino.

She took out the notepad she usually used for bookkeeping, and said as she wrote:

"The reward given by the Alchemy Sanctuary is worth 500 gold coins. The price for the sale of the Alchemy Armament was 25,000 gold coins. The deposit paid by Mefla for the purchase of knowledge is 50,000 gold coins. Hmm~ Counting the life potions harvested before, we now have a total of about 83,000 gold coins. According to the minimum standard, the funds required for the island plan are 150,000 gold coins, and we have already reached half of it~"

Li Nuo nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, yes, more than half. I also have an alchemy well here. ”

Li Nuo rummaged through the blood space, found the sage particles that had been squeezed into the corner, and put them on the table.

Dinas looked at the small white beads on the table, blinked and asked:

"Did you find this from the Rift Corridor?"

"Yes. Due to the suddenness of the contamination field, I only found this alchemy well for the time being. ”

Li Nuo pushed the small bead that emitted white light in front of Dinas:

"Here, put it away. Once we bought the island, we used it as a magic water purifier. ”

"Okay~" Dinas reached into her magic pocket and took out a separate metal box to encapsulate the Sage Particles.

She picked up her pen and wrote a few lines in the ledger while asking:

"What about the fresh water production of this alchemy well?"

Li Nuo said according to the results of the solution in his mind:

"It's badly damaged now, and the water output is about 10 tons every 24 hours. If it is repaired, the water output will increase to 15 tons. ”

"15 tons~" Dinas said with a smile as she wrote:

"A small magic water purifier only purifies 15 tons of water per day. We can completely save the money on buying a small magic water purifier. This money is about 7,000 gold coins. ”

Li Nuo thought about it:

"Well, there's a downside to using alchemy wells to get fresh water. We need to activate it with an alchemy stone and expand it into a sage space. Doing so can also narrow our spiritual ocean. Therefore, using alchemy wells instead of magic water purifiers is just a practice when funds are tight. In the future, when we have enough funds, we will still have to buy a magic water purifier. ”

Dinas propped her chin on the tip of her pen and considered the matter.

She nodded slowly, as if she had an idea, and smiled warmly and said:

"You're usually busy outside. Letting you bear the mental burden of the alchemy well will have a negative impact on your strength to some extent.

"Let me bear the mental burden of the alchemy well. I've learned all the alchemy knowledge of the Alchemy Sanctuary over the years. With a little revision, I was able to pass the self-study alchemy exam and get my own alchemy stone. ”

In the face of Dinas's kindness, Li Nuo did not shirk.

"No problem, Dinas. I'll leave that to you. I thought about it, though. We don't get alchemy stones through the Alchemy Sanctuary. ”

"What?" Dinas's eyes flickered with confusion, and she didn't understand what Lino meant for a while.

"I don't know how to explain it to you for the time being." Li Nuo raised his index finger and shook it:

"Just remember one thing. Alchemy stones and philosopher particles are in your hands. But your alchemy stone is made by the spirit transposition ritual I arranged, and we don't use the alchemy sanctuary or other forces. ”

Dinas was stunned, her expression slightly sluggish:

"Your Soul Transposition Ritual."

"Yes, I laid it out. There's no rush in this matter, let's wait until we get to the Suman Islands. ”

Li Nuo shook his hand and lifted the topic:

"Can you help me see what other magic devices can be replaced with Sage Particles?"

"Oooh. Good. Dinas came back from a slight trance and looked down at the ledger in her hand:

Food is expensive on the Suman Islands. Even seafood has to go through a magic purifier before it can be eaten. In order to eat normally, we need to buy ingredients from the Magic Farm and Orchard and the Magic Blender. The magic blender can be dispensed with, and we can cook it ourselves, or let the magic minions do it for us. Crops and fruits from the Enchanted Farmland and Orchard can be replaced with a Sage Space that produces ingredients. ”

Dinas paused and continued:

"And. We need to buy building materials to transform the island. If we can find a sage space that produces building materials, then we can save about 30,000 gold coins in the cost of building materials. ”

"Yes, Dinas. I remembered. A sage space that produces food and building materials. ”

Li Nuo clapped his hands and got up from his chair:

"I'm going to take a walk through the Rift Corridor right now. I'll be going underground a lot for the next few days. Just wait for me in the house. ”

"Okay~" Dinas put the ledger, gold bars, and coins into her pocket and summoned a torch.

"Then I'll go." Dinas shook her hand and teleported away in the flickering firelight.

After Li Nuo checked the props he was carrying, he rubbed the illusion ring on his finger and cast the "Illusion Technique" and entered an invisible state.

He transformed into a white skull and flew out of the hut towards Sector 6 next door.

In order to find out the situation in the rift corridor, Li Nuo has often gone underground for the past few days.

To do this, he borrowed the illusion ring from Dinas.

The condition of the underground area of Sector 6 is worse.

Starting from the 15th basement floor and continuing to the 90th basement floor, all floors collapsed. Large patches of rubble and dirt, piled up in the deformed walkway, blocked the way. Even the cylindrical cliff that stretched vertically downwards was broken into several knots.

The Alchemy Sanctuary organized personnel to investigate the details of the collapse underground. It is estimated that it will take about a year from the time they draw up a plan to repair the cloister to the final repair.

During the year, the people on the ground had to go through a handful of well-preserved shafts to reach the Black City. Except for these working shafts, all the other places have been hung with signs that read "Collapse before and after, this road is impassable".

These things were said by Daric and Li Nuo, the Sword of the Golden Merchant. The Sword of the Gold Merchant, who had worked with Li Nuo twice, would stay underground for a whole year. The same goes for Ironthornshield's security members, such as Conte, Mark, and Fars.

Repairing the Rift Corridor requires an enormous investment of resources, which will undoubtedly push the alchemy workshops on the ground to full capacity. A series of subsequent reactions were a sharp rise in the price of building materials, an increase in labor remuneration, and a boom in alchemy workshops in the lower city.

Li Nuo has seen too many alchemists in the past few days, using alchemy stones to carry building materials into the underground.

Sector 6 is currently unowned, and no one has come to restore the cloister for the time being. And because of the serious collapse of the corridor, there are almost no people in sector 6.

The invisible skull that Li Nuo transformed into flew into the underground passage of Sector 6 and flew all the way down to the 15th floor underground.

There is very limited space for living people to move around.

As soon as Li Nuo passed through the gate of the stairwell, he was stopped by a pile of rubble blocking the walkway.

With "life and death tracing" and deconstruction, Li Nuo examines the narrow and crowded aisles.

After making sure there weren't any prying eyes here, he took out a homemade alchemy prop from the folding space of his backpack.

This alchemy item has a barrel-like appearance and has a built-in spiral metal drill bit.

Li Nuo named it a pipeline excavation device.

Place one end against the gravel pile, and the drill bit inside it will dig through the gravel pile. Every few centimeters that the drill bit moves forward, the metal sleeve outside the drill bit follows, supporting the circular channel chiseled by the drill bit.

At the moment when the drill digs through the gravel pile, a metal tunnel with a diameter of about 15 centimeters will appear on the gravel pile.

With such a small metal passage, how did Li Nuo get in?

There are two options, one is to use the newly acquired "Death Flight", and the other is to make use of the "Breath of the Dead" trait.

After Li Nuo activates the "Breath of the Dead", he will enter the skeleton form. In this form, he can divide himself into six segments, one for the head, one for the torso, one for the legs, and one for the arms.

Each section has its own magical vision - the head can see the surrounding scene, and the torso, legs, and arms have a magical vision of 30 degrees directly ahead.

Li Nuo only needs to stuff his arm into the metal pipe, and he can complete the subsequent operation. As for the head, torso, and legs, just find a place to hide them.

Li Nuo has tried this set of actions many times, and there has never been an accident.

As for why not use "Death Flight" to drill into metal pipes... It has to do with a bad experience.

At first, Li Nuo did use "Death Flight" to cooperate with the pipeline excavation device. However, the space behind the obstacle was too narrow, and he couldn't control the excavation device while taking on human form.

In contrast, the arms of the bones, which take up less space, can easily complete the task of manipulating the excavation device.

Therefore, after several attempts, Li Nuo decided to use the "breath of the dead" to match the excavation device.

This time was no exception.

His bony arms went into the metal pipe and came to the back of the rubble pile.

Behind the pile of rubble is a very crowded corridor gap. It was pitch black, without the slightest light. And because the road is blocked by the gravel pile, it is difficult for the air to circulate to the outside world, and the atmosphere is extremely oppressive.

Li Nuo's arms pulled the drill bit and metal sleeve from the gravel pile, and continued to dig through another gravel pile to enter another walkway closed by rubble.

Concocted in the same way, repeated more than ten times, Li Nuo's arms reached the destination of the trip.

This is the southeast corner of the 15th basement floor, a place that was used for cooking on a fire 30 years ago. The sage space, which produces carrots, tomatoes, flour, and salt, is arranged in the corner in the form of alchemical food cabinets.

Now, the space of the sage is covered in rubble.

Li Nuo had to put in some effort, using his arms and a pipe-type digging device, to dig out a passage to the alchemy food cabinet.

This job requires patience and time, and no one can interrupt it.

Li Nuo picked up his skull and bone torso with his bony legs, jumped on the ground, and found a safe place to hide.

His bones and arms were working hard thousands of meters above his skull.

Use a pipe-type excavator to dig out a passage and let the bones and arms into the alchemy food cabinet. Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique in the magical vision of the bones and arms, and obtained a way to crack the Sage Lock and the Sage Space Core Array.

The left palm is attached to the left arm. The left palm is where the magic circle of the blood absorption space is located.

Placing your right arm on the back of your left hand will allow you to take the rune stick from the Bloodless Space and break the Sage Lock.

Li Nuo is completely immersed in his work, and time passes quickly.

Three hours later, the sun set on the ground, and as night fell, Li Nuo finally used his bones and arms to get the sage particles that produced the ingredients.

It took three hours to get a sage particle, and there was nothing to be done with such a slow progress.

The magical vision of the Bone Arms is very limited, and they can only see things within 30 degrees directly in front of them. Li Nuo was dizzy several times because of his narrow field of vision.

"Well, the most difficult step is done. There were piles of rubble blocking the walkway, so I didn't have to worry about running into people in the collapsed corridor, but it was too time-consuming to go back and forth through the rubble piles. ”

Li Nuo manipulated the bones and arms to dig a passage for the return journey.

Li Nuo had previously experimented that with her body divided into six sections, Dinas could not orient herself.

He had to put his body together before he could summon Dinas to come and take him away.

When Li Nuo's arms used the excavation device to dig through one pile of rubble after another, an unexpected sound sounded near Li Nuo's arms.

"Look, what did I find? A pair of bony arms that move on their own. Is this a novelty and extraordinary creation, or is it some kind of spell? ”

Li Nuo's heart sank, and he felt that his arms were forcibly grabbed and picked up from the ground. The pipe-type excavator with both arms between them fell to the ground.

In the magical vision of the bones and arms, a figure familiar to Li Nuo appeared.

Nehekart.

This tomb wizard who did not return to the ground after the closure of the polluted field thought of going with Li Nuo.

He relied on the fact that he was a skeletal undead, without eating, excreting or breathing, and stayed underground for long periods of time.

The magic pocket around his waist was open, and all sorts of aggregate flew out of it, turning into skeletons around him.

Armed with pickaxes, these skeletons clanged through piles of rubble to make way for their masters.

Nehekat himself, on the other hand, waited for his skeletons to clear his way.

When Li Nuo is divided into six sections, he activates "Life and Death Tracking", and only the magic vision of the skull will be replaced by the magic vision of "Life and Death Tracking". The view of the torso, legs, and arms is temporarily disabled, and darkness is plunged.

Because of this, when his bones and arms were working out of his body, he couldn't use "life and death tracking" to reconnoiter the surrounding situation. So much so that when Nehekat touched his bones and arms, he discovered the existence of the other party.

Nehekat took the bones that had just arrived in his arms and looked them repeatedly, and muttered in a strange way:

"It's really interesting. The arms are human bones, with faint spell fluctuations. Whose limb are you? Where is your ontology? I noticed that there is a pattern in the space of the magic circle on the back of your left hand, and there should be a lot of treasures hidden in it, right? If you're willing to hand over the treasure in the space of the magic circle, I'll spare your bones and arms. What do you think? It's not a loss for you. Whether you want your own arms or the treasures in the space of the magic array, it's all up to you. ”

A sly smile appeared on Nehecut's face.

He was proud that he had caught the handle of an unknown existence, but he was horrified to find that several black lightning bolts half a meter thick shot out from the bone in his hand and his right arm.

"Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! ”

"Boom Boom"

A series of lightning explosions reverberated in the narrow enclosed space.

Dozens of black lightning bolts swept through every corner of the space like dogs.

Nehekate's skeleton soldiers were blasted to pieces of bones on the spot. Bone fragments were crushed into powder by a steady stream of black lightning.

Nehecate's magic robe automatically activates the "Death Shield". A black shield of light preceded the lightning before it landed on him, and it was in the direction of the lightning's attack.

Black lightning washed over the black shield of light like a rushing river, causing the magic shield to shake violently, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Frightened, Nehekat hurriedly threw away Lenovo's bones and arms.

Before he could make a decent resistance, a new black bolt of lightning erupted from Bones' right arm, stabbing him in the face. At the same time, black lightning also shot out from the fingertips of the bone's left arm.

Double the black lightning, double the ferocious offensive, Nehekat only had to be beaten in the frenzy set off by the black lightning.

"Ahh

Nehekat screamed, and the magic shield on his body broke.

"Boom!"

Nehekat was struck by black lightning and was torn apart in an instant. Each fragment of his bones was swept away by black lightning and turned into a handful of bone chips that scattered all around.

Black lightning did not give up, repeatedly ravaging the remains of Nehekat and the skeletons.

It wasn't until Leno received the kill message that the Bone Arms stopped firing black lightning.

The airflow in the confined space returned to stabilize, and the floating dust and bone chips slowly sank.

"Hey, Nehekat is here to deliver it. It's not good to learn anything, learn to blackmail others here. Now it's all right. Not only did he not get a good deal, but he also lost his life. ”

Li Nuo grinned, and then restrained his smile.

He settled down and began to manipulate his bones and arms to collect the spoils.

When he fired black lightning with his bone arm, he deliberately avoided the tunnel digging device he had made, as well as Nehecut's magic pocket.

Both of these things survived the battle, and they were lying quietly on the floor.

Li Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the excavation device and the magic bag were safe and sound.

His two skeletal arms, swept over Nehekat's remains, activating Soul Drain.

The news fed back by the system made Li Nuo stunned for a moment.

[Soul draining failed! 】

[There are no soul crumbs on the target!] 】

Li Nuo turned the magical vision of the bone arm and looked around carefully.

There are many reasons why there are no soul debris on the remains, one of which is that someone else or other magic items have taken it away first.

Could it be that in this narrow space, apart from his own bones and arms, there is something else hidden?

Li Nuo looked at it carefully, and then frowned.

There were several blood-red strips of flesh, burrowing out of Nehekat's bones, and were "scratching their heads" towards Lenovo's bones and arms.

"Isn't this the weak-level Blood Sun Transformer of the Blood Sun God Seal?!"

Li Nuo instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.
