According to the guidelines for solving the consequences, Li Nuo formulated a plan to go to Exile City on the spot.

During this time, Noreen destroyed all traces of the ritual at the site and packed all the mole-man bones.

There were a total of 4,000 mole-man skeletons before and after, and Li Nuo used half of them in the previous ritual.

The remaining 2,000 skeletons will be carried by him so that he can perform the "bone discovery ceremony" at any time.

These are all ready-made aggregates, and Li Nuo won't waste them.

After Noreen finished cleaning up the scene, Li Nuo also wrote a plan to go to Exile City.

He put the machine spirit away, summoned the rock spirit, and returned the same way, to the surface.

It's two o'clock after midnight.

The full moon with its halo hangs high in the sky, and the stars shine brightly.

Li Nuo traveled overnight to the center of the Thousand Peaks Ridge and stopped in the uninhabited valley.

He used telepathy to reassure Dinas that she was safe, and then meditated for a moment to regain her spirits.

After recuperating and before the sun was rising, Li Nuo summoned the Spirit of the Rock again and went all the way down.

The one who went underground before the Rock Spirit was the Ground-Penetrating Robot Spirit, controlled by Noreen.

50 drill machines started working together, digging vertically, and soon reached a special area 5,000 meters underground.

The geological structure of this world is very peculiar, and there is no situation where the lower you go, the hotter it gets, but the more gloomy and cold it gets.

At 5,000 meters underground, near the ceiling in the dark area, you can see a layer of "slate" with a thickness of more than 100 meters.

The slate layer is incredibly hard to break through with a normal drill bit, and it has good energy resistance.

This layer is extremely difficult to excavate, and at the same time covers the entire dark terrain above the rock and soil layer, which acts as a natural barrier separating 5,000 meters above ground and 5,000 meters underground.

Wizards don't know how it came to be.

Over the years, the Wizarding Advance Society has only figured out how to break it.

These methods were written into the textbook and now provide guidance for Li Nuo.

One of the quickest ways to do this is to use a high-level geotechnical magic that works specifically on slate formations, the Slate Layer Walkthrough.

This spell Li Nuo will not.

But he's rich.

He directly activated the telepathy with Selena, and asked the other party to quietly buy a few magic scrolls from the magic item exchange in Unas Ring.

The price of each copy of the "Slate Layer Crossing Magic Scroll" reaches 1.5 million gold coins, containing 5 million points of geotechnical energy, which is just enough for one-way passage in the slate layer.

Li Nuo was rich and bought 6 in one go.

After getting the magic scroll sent by Selena, he didn't say a word to disarm the Spirit of the Rock, tore open one of them, and slapped it on himself.

Earthy brown light flowed out from the surface of the scroll, covering Li Nuo's entire body, temporarily transforming him into a pure energy body.

Like a high platform diving, Li Nuo jumped on the spot and plunged headlong into the slate layer.

At the moment when his body was completely integrated into the slate layer, a feeling of being covered in mud hit him, making Li Nuo feel as uncomfortable as his body being filled with lead.

He surrendered control of his body to spells.

The Slate Layer Crossing Technique led his body downward and struggled forward.

The view during the walk is peculiar.

Countless earthy brown spots of light grazed in front of Li Nuo, passing through his body and brain.

The further down, the denser the number of light spots, and the more obvious the sluggish sensation of the body.

The system refreshes the text in his mind continuously, reminding him that he is being hindered by the slate layer, and the "Slate Layer Walkthrough" is helping him through the obstruction of the slate layer.

When the remaining duration of the "Piercing Technique" was about to be exhausted, the earthy brown light spot in front of Li Nuo's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his body suddenly loosened.

His body broke free from the ceiling of the Darkness Zone.

He was greeted by frozen darkness and utter dead silence.

The dark area is covered by slate layers, so the sun and the starry sky are naturally invisible.

Here, the light is both a hope for terrestrial creatures and a beacon for hostile creatures.

Even the slightest glimmer of light will invite shadow monsters to roam in the dark.

Thankfully, most Shadow Monsters are not interested in the undead.

Li Nuo activated the "Levitation Technique" on his skeleton form and magic boots, and floated in the air as a deceased.

He also activated "Perception Enhancement" and "Life and Death Tracking".

Looking around, he saw nothing but darkness.

Not only that, but the effect of "perceptual enhancement" is also greatly reduced due to environmental factors, and only half of the effect is normal under normal circumstances.

"The Shadows are a forbidden area for non-shadow wizards. There was no light in this place of birds, and there was no reference for orienteering. If I hadn't placed a "tracking marker" on the ground, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference..."

Li Nuo tried to mobilize the magical energy in his viscera.

Regardless of whether it is the energy of death, the magic of silence, or the energy of thunder and lightning, there is inevitably a phenomenon of "hysteresis".

They flow slowly like glue.

Li Nuo clicked on the "Status Bar" and saw a negative status called "Suppression of Non-Shadow Magic".

All non-Shadow spells have at least 30% longer cast channel time in the Underworld.

Non-Shadow spells that used to be instantaneous have all been increased by 1 second of Cast Channel.

"Well, it's no wonder that the Shadowlands are a treasure trove for shadow wizards. With such an environmental buff alone, the Shadow Wizard's combat strength is increased by at least three percent. ”

After a moment's thought, Li Nuo took out hundreds of mechanical spirits from his magic pocket and handed them to Nolin to activate.

"Noreen, did you feel a 'delay' when you manipulated the Machines in the Netherlands?" Li Nuo asked.

Norin took over the control and instructed the mechans to form a protective net around Li Nuo, while saying:

"No, sir. Controlling the Robot in the Dark is the same as on the ground. ”

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.

"Sensory Enhancement" has been weakened, but "Mind Tracking" and "Mind Control" have not, what is the principle...

Li Nuo rubbed his chin, unable to understand for the time being.

He froze down, turned off the "life and death tracking", and instead pulled out a bottle of potion and drank it.

To operate in the Dark Zone, you must use the Dark Zone's exclusive magical vision.

The potion that Li Nuo drinks is called "Dark Vision".

The magical vision of black, white and gray unfolded before his eyes, and the darkness opened the tip of the iceberg.

It is a huge underground cavern covered with stalagmites, with a vertical drop of more than a kilometer.

Some kind of shadow monster like an eel, snaking and floating between stalagmites, resembles a dark viper underneath.

They are very large, more than ten meters long, shaped like a giant python, dark throughout, and it is difficult to distinguish the head and tail when they are in a stationary state.

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

This is the legendary "dark ground eel".

When ten non-Shadow Wizards first set foot in the Shadows, three of them will die at the claws of the Shadow Monster.

At present, this underground cavity is supposed to be a small nest of dark ground eels, with 30 adult eels and 20 growing eels less than 10 meters long.

Li Nuo pondered for a moment and decided to test the power of the lightning spell in the Shadows.

He was now 50 kilometers away from Exile in a straight line, and he didn't have to worry about alarming the shadow wizards there.

"Noreen, prepare for a bombing campaign of capacitor automatons. The bombardment was aimed at the fifty dark mantles. ”

Leno manipulated the spell list a few times, sharing his magical vision with "Psychic Infusion" with Noreen.

In this way, Noreen will be able to see clearly in the dark area.

"No problem, sir. I've locked my sights. ”

Li Nuo took out 50 capacitor bags from his magic pocket and handed them over to Noreen to control.

The Machines operate in the Dark Regions with the help of the "Levitation Array" and the "Airflow Array".

The fluctuation of wind energy caused by these two magic arrays was very small, but it was still detected by the dark eel.

Don't forget, this is a dark place.

Any energy fluctuations that are not part of the shadow energy are as eye-catching as candles in the night.

Especially when the 150 mechanical spirits gathered together, the direction where Li Nuo was located was like a bonfire in the eyes of the dark eel.

Just as Noreen was checking the capacitor pack before the battle, fifty dark eels of different sizes wandered silently.

They weave from stalagmite to stalagmite in a nimble, sinuous posture that doesn't make a sound throughout.

The Dark Mantle in the lead was the fastest, reaching twenty meters in front of Li Nuo's left.

It coiled its body, wrapped itself around a one-meter-thick stalagmite, and opened its pitch-black mouthparts towards Li Nuo.

"Sha Ka ..."

A very slight rhythm of air resounded in the underground space, and several black light waves shot out from the mouth of the dark mantle, rushing towards Li Nuo, who was standing still.

Lino deliberately tested combat data.

With his "magic shield" and strong body, he rejected Noreen's request to intercept attacks with a mechanical spirit.

The semi-arc black light wave spanned a distance of 20 meters, and suddenly came to Li Nuo, passing through his skeleton body from front to back.

The cold aura swam in his body, and Li Nuo stiffened, as if he had lost control of his body.

【Warning! 】

[You have been attacked by the "Adult Gloom Eel.] 】

[The opponent is using "Shadow Detection" on you, trying to get hold of your Shadow Energy Resistance and other data.] 】

It turned out to be just a detection spell, not an attack spell, so it's no wonder it's not lethal.

Li Nuo was unmoved.

With a thought in his mind, he gave Norin the command to disperse the mechanical spirits, and then raised his hand and pointed at it, and shot a "Thunder Spear Technique" with a level 1 shot.

A short spear made of lightning energy condensed and formed at Li Nuo's side, aiming directly at the dark mantle.

"Crackle..."

Thunder so faint that it was almost inaudible.

The thunder spear landed on the dark ground eel, and only a small piece of pitiful electric spark exploded, like tickling...

This was deliberately done by Lino, who was trying to provoke these monsters.

Sure enough, the brutal nature that was deep in the monster's bones was activated.

The swarthy, slender monsters let out a sharp roar in unison, opening their mouths wide towards Li Nuo.

Dense black spheres appeared around Li Nuo, each of which was like a bomb containing explosive power!

"Bang bang bang!"

The black sphere suddenly burst, bursting with shadow flames that filled the space around Li Nuo.

【Warning! 】

[You have been attacked by the Shadow Bomb!] 】

[You have received medium shadow damage!] 】

[[Silent Shield]'s Shadow Energy Resistance is 99%. 】

[[Silent Shield's "Auto Loop" feature has been triggered 77 times!] 】

[The damage of the "Shadow Bomb" has been blocked by the "Silent Shield"!] 】

"Cast the Shield of Silence 77 times in one second?!"

Li Nuo's heart was slightly shocked.

He was almost shot through his shield by 50 Dark Ground Eels!

It's no wonder that many non-Shadow Wizards have suffered in the Shadows.

This kind of damage is not necessarily something that ordinary non-shadow wizards can resist.

Li Nuo dismissed the idea of testing the damage with his physical body.

Without hesitation, he gave Noreen the order to attack immediately.

100 sonic mechanics that do not possess the ability to attack circ around the battlefield at high speed, disrupting the dark eels with a sonic array.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the eel's confusion from the noise, the 50 capacitor auto spirits suddenly accelerated, spurting a surging air flow with a roar, and rushed towards the intended target.

Upon approaching the target, the capacitor encapacitor activates the lightning injection function, which shoots out all the lightning energy inside.

"Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! ”

Far higher-pitched thunder than the Level 1 "Thunder Spear Technique" bloomed in the underground space, mixed with the painful hiss of the dark ground eel.

"Chirp~~~"

With the exception of the adult Gloomy Eel, which resisted the first round of lightning bombardment, all the other eels were blasted to pulp by the twisting lightning.

Some of the surviving dark ground eels were slightly injured, and immediately turned into black shadows and moved into the distance.

The other part fell to the ground with serious injuries, falling from the stalagmite and falling towards the ground far below.

Li Nuo's eyes swept around, and he locked on to the remaining dark ground eels with his mind, and raised his right hand to tap twenty times.

Twenty bright spherical thunderstorms, emerging from where he was pointing, erupted with beams of lightning of astonishing brightness.

"Boom Boom"

Spherical thunderstorms tear the dark eels to shreds, leaving echoes in the vast underground space.

Li Nuo called up the combat data and looked at it briefly.

"Not bad, not bad. The effect of the lightning spell has also decreased, with a drop of around 30%. However, Wild Lightning Magic can compensate for the reduced effect of the spell by increasing the intensity of the lightning energy. What I don't lack the most right now is thunder and lightning energy, so the dark zone doesn't have much impact on my "thundercloud technique" and "fixed-point thunderstorm technique". ”

Li Nuo called out to Noreen in his heart:

"Adjust the lightning energy reserves of each capacitor to increase from 1 million points to 1.5 million points each."

"Yes, sir." Noreen should be on an errand:

"I need you to provide the meta-reactor so that I can have enough lightning energy to strengthen the capacitor mecha."

"Yes. Let's go and settle down there. ”

Li Nuo raised his hand and pointed at a stalagmite and threw out the "Rock Imprisonment Technique".

A rock cage of geotechnical energy that can be used to trap enemies and protect spellcasters in it.

The rock cage built on the top of the stalagmite has become Li Nuo's foothold at this moment.

He summoned the Spirit of the Rock and ordered the construction of stone walls and roofs.

Noreen took a hand and set up an anti-detection magic enchantment.

After the first transformation, the temporary base was built in the frame of a rock cage.

Leno removed the magic pouch containing the capacitor pack and handed it to Noreen along with the Type I reactor.

Norin is in charge of charging the capacitor pack in the makeshift base, while Leno himself travels outside the base to collect magical materials from the Dark Eel.

The indiscriminate bombardment just now successfully triggered passive deconstruction.

As a result, Li Nuo learned about the value of the dark ground eel.

Their shadow glands, matte membranes, and extremely tough cartilage are all treasures for making shadow magic items.

But just as Li Nuo was collecting magic materials, a feeling of being targeted suddenly appeared.

Although the "Perception Enhancement" was weakened, it still alerted Li Nuo at the first time.

"There's someone around here..."

Li Nuo sensed the snooping gaze.

He thought for a moment, pretended not to know, and continued to cut the Shadow Ground Eel with his magic knife.

In a situation like this, where he felt like he was being spied on, but couldn't locate the specific location of the observer, Li Nuo knew what was going on.

First, the distance between the man and him was very long, at least 5,000 meters between them. This is as much as five times the distance of Li's energy perception.

Second, the observation method used by that person is relatively clever, and it should be a shadow spell. With the Darkness Zone Ambient Bonus, all Shadow Magic effects are increased by at least 30%.

As soon as these two factors are combined, Li Nuo is destined to be unable to accurately locate the other party with "perceptual enhancement".

At this time, it was the turn of other mind spells.

"Noreen, there's an enemy coming." Li Nuo said in his heart:

"You can transfer a few mechanical spirits that have been enchanted with "psychic illusions", and cooperate with me to pull out the people on the other side."

"Yes, sir."

Noreen controls several mechs to fly out of the makeshift base.

…

…

"Damn, that guy killed all the dark eels we raised, and I want to skin him!"

"How could a thunderbolt wizard come to the Shadows..."

"Shhh

"Quiet, quiet."

A few sneaky figures, hiding in the stalagmite forest.

Their bodies were translucent gray phantoms, and their bodies were tattered magic robes that were more than eighty percent damaged in battle.

On their backs is a rucksack made of strips of cloth and monster bones, which contain slightly wriggling monster eggs and unconscious cubs.

These creatures cannot fit into a magic bag, they can only be carried around like this.

Judging by their clothing and conversations, they are supposed to be shadow wizards who regularly collect monster materials in the Shadows.

The translucent gray phantom body is the characteristic of the Shadow Shadow.

When they observed the "Thunderbolt Wizard", their eyes were stretched out with slender black claws, pointing in the direction where the "Thunderbolt Wizard" was.

These black claws resemble skinny baby arms.

They fluttered in the wind, their finger bones curled up, as if they were feeling the energy fluctuations of the "lightning wizard" remotely.

The Shadow Spirits whispered.

"What is the origin of those thunderbolt wizards?"

"I don't know... It was too far away for me to make out the magic robes on them. ”

"These bastards ruined the lair. Damn it. It took us a long time to raise fifty dark ground eels. ”

"We've got to find a way to kill these lightning wizards, or they might steal the rest of the monster lair. These damn terrestrial wizards really don't understand the rules of the Shadowlands. ”

"Call someone with a magic messenger, hurry. The Thunderbolt Wizards haven't noticed us yet! We have a big advantage! ”

The sound of communication became muffled, and the sizzle of writing letters rang out.

A few black claws protruding from the darkness took the letter and disappeared without a trace.

Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
