317. Shadow Blade
Li Nuo raised his eyes to look at the city of exile hidden by stalagmites.
With the loss of three eight-ring battle wizards in a row, the upper part of the exiled city should not be able to sit still.
Will the enemy that will appear next be the ninth ring, or even the tenth ring?
Li Nuo thought it was like this.
But now, he could only shake his head and deny the speculation.
After deconstructing the two Jeslots, Leno discovers something interesting in their memories.
[Memory fragment 5: "The Process of Receiving VIPs in the Exiled City", 30% completeness]
This memory fragment is missing 70% of the content, mainly mosaics related to "gore" and "filth".
The system's erasure of these indescribable contents does not prevent Li Nuo from figuring out who the so-called "VIP" refers to.
Li Nuo unexpectedly discovered his "old acquaintance", the main professor of the Soul Shaping Society, Jimart.
Of course, the professor only sent his own magic clone and a vote of students.
He himself is still on the second plane of the Soul Shaping Society.
The black-robed people that Hinton saw were the death wizards of the Soul Shaping Society.
What the Soul Shaping Society and the City Lord of the Exiled City are planning is destined to make it impossible for them to get out of the city now, and they can only continue to send the chief guardian of the Eighth Ring to send them to their deaths.
As for what they're planning...
Belch...
This and this.
This one is a bit awkward.
Li Nuo did not find this in the solution of the composition.
I think only a shadow wizard of the level of the deputy city lord of the exiled city can know the answer.
"I don't know if I have a chance to deconstruct the deputy city lord of Exile City..."
Li Nuo thought to himself.
So far, his achievements have been quite impressive.
On the one hand, there are more than 30 prop blueprints and spell blueprints involving shadow magic knowledge.
On the other hand, the information such as the distribution map of the Shadow Magic Material Resource Points and the location of the Magic Treasure Vault that the three of Jikamodo had mastered had all been included in Li Nuo's mind.
Mao estimates that if he digs up the treasure vault and resource points, Li Nuo will have 1.5 billion points of shadow energy in his account, as well as about 3,000 cubic meters of shadow magic materials.
All of these magic materials can be used to strengthen the Cloak of Shadows.
Coincidentally, in the spell blueprint that Li Nuo had in his hand, there was a "Shadow Cloak".
Just waiting for the materials to be gathered and the magic array that shapes the "Shadow Cloak" can be carried, and Li Nuo will be able to have this life-saving artifact.
It's a pity that Li Nuo can't absorb the shadow energy in large quantities for the time being...
The Dark Dead's meditation method, "Shadow Extraction", is only suitable for spirit creatures.
As a flesh and blood creature, Li Nuo was unable to learn the meditation methods of the Dark Dead.
Using the "Calm Breathing Method" with the magic viscera is the only method that Li Nuo can use to absorb and store shadow energy.
"Let's go and settle that kid Hinton first..."
Leno cast the "Death Flight" and rushed towards Hinton's location.
Along the way, Li Nuo gave Noreen several orders.
First, use the capacitor enchanted with "Psychic Illusion" to wrap the mechanical spirit and kill all the Overseers of the Dark Death.
Second, there is no need to protect the Dark Laborers, and there is no need to actively attack them. But if the Assassin Laborer is close to the temporary base, then he will be expelled, and he will be killed.
Third, try not to attack the Shadow Magic Barrier that has not yet been built.
In the results and spoils of the solution of the three of Perifa, Li Nuo found the blueprints and necessary knowledge of the magic array to construct the Shadow Magic Barrier.
However, the main materials for the construction of this magical barrier, such as the bulge of the Shadow Bun, the backbone of the Shadow Earth Dragon, the dried powder of the eyeballs, and the brain marrow juice, are priceless, and are only in stock in the upper city.
If Noreen destroys these main materials, it is estimated that Li Nuo will not be able to reproduce the Shadow Magic Barrier in a short period of time.
Noreen fully complied with Linot's orders.
She used her flying machine spirit to lure the Dark Laborers away from the site where the magical barrier was built, and then smashed them through the stalagmite glades one by one.
A portion of the capacitor envelopes over the ceiling, projecting lightning beams downward, creating a lightning barrier that holds back the Dark Dead Laborers.
Any undead laborer who flees in the direction of the temporary base will be blocked by the lightning barrier.
There are many Shadow Laborers who want to seek refuge in the rumored "Thunderbolt Wizard".
They lunged towards the lightning barrier, thinking they would get what they deserved.
But unfortunately, although Li Nuo is not hard-hearted, he is not the Mother of troubled times.
All the dark laborers who came into contact with the lightning barrier were all electrocuted to smoke without exception.
They exploded with a thud and turned into shadow shards.
And these fragments flew back to the Exile City under the traction of the magic array in the city.
It won't be long before the dark laborers who have been electrocuted by the lightning barrier will be reborn and face the fate of enslavement again.
With these examples of error first, the rest of the Dark Laborers will be wiser.
Some of them returned the same way they came, and took the initiative to return to the city of exile, and prayed for mercy and mercy to the upper part of the city of exile with pathological loyalty and submission.
The other part of the dark labor is stimulated to the deep fighting spirit of survival.
They either traveled alone or in groups, avoiding the lightning barrier and searching for a way to the surface in the stalagmite woodlands.
Between the dark area and the ground, there is a hard block called a slate formation.
Is there a way to bring back to the surface from the shadows other than the Slate Layer Walkthrough?
There is, and there is more than one.
One is to use teleportation.
This is a luxury for the dark laborers who are fleeing for their lives.
The second method is to take the artificial channel.
The legal artificial passage is at Balde's Gate.
There is a large underground structure called the "Dark Shaft", which can be reached from the ground up a spiral staircase to the Dark Place.
- Balder's Gate on the ground, in the dark area directly below him, has built an underground city, and the "bridge" between the two is the "Dark Shaft".
Li Nuo didn't know where the illegal artificial passage was, and it was usually dug privately by illegal wizards who did smuggling trade in the wilderness.
Bald's Gate is 900 kilometers west of the stalagmite woodland...
The Dark Dead Laborers don't have to eat, drink, or Lazar, as long as they are careful to avoid the Shadow Monsters, they may still be able to get there...
For these dark laborers, Li Nuo can only wish them good luck.
As for Hinton, well, Leno intends to send him a piece of good luck.
In the southwest corner of the temporary base, about 30 kilometers away.
Leno met Hinton, who had fled from the desert.
The "constant levitation" characteristic of spirit creatures allows Hinton to easily cope with complex terrain.
But the lack of energy and the weakness of his soul after multiple rebirths suppressed his floating speed.
When Li Nuo chased after him, he did not hide the energy fluctuations of the "Death Flight" in the slightest.
Hinton clearly sensed the impending energy of death, and he immediately thought of the black-robed man he had seen in the city.
Those black-robed people also had traces of death energy on their bodies!
The death wizard who is chasing after him is likely to be the black-robed man in the city.
Hinton's heart was suddenly filled with pessimism that he was going to finish the game.
Seeing that the other party's flight speed was much faster than his own, Hinton directly found a place to hide himself.
Ahead of him, there are many dark laborers on the run.
Hinton can only pray now that the Death Wizard behind him will go after the other Dark Laborers.
A voice appeared in Hinton's head, causing him to shudder.
"Listen to what I have to say..."
With the words in his mind, a magic scroll and a teleportation crystal floated slowly in front of Sinton.
"This is a Slate Layer Crossing Magic Scroll, and the teleportation crystal next to it points to Starlight City in the Unas Ring. Now, get out of here. ”
Hinton looked at the scrolls and crystals in front of him with a blank expression, and the ecstasy of escaping was in the bottom of his heart.
He stretched out his trembling hands and caught the scroll and the crystal, tears of excitement in his eyes.
After a brief trance, Hinton suddenly remembered Eloti in the city.
He stood up with the magic scroll and crystal, stepped out of the bunker, and looked at the departing Death Wizard:
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency, I have a companion who has been captured, her name is Elody, you can..."
Before Hinton could finish speaking, the other party flew away with a "death flight" without saying a word.
Hinton froze in place, his hand clutching the scroll.
He hesitated, but tore it open, turning into an earthy brown glow that burrowed into the ceiling overhead...
Li Nuo looked back at the flickering earthy brown light on the ceiling, and chuckled in his heart.
"Please, it's none of my business whether Elody was caught or not. It's you who should be saving her, not me, what are you shouting at me? ”
Li Nuo shook his head slightly and sighed, returning to his business.
"Aren't the city lords and deputy city lords of Shangcheng District hanging out with the people of the Soul Shaping Association and getting busy?
"Okay, well, then I will switch from positional warfare to guerrilla warfare, pull the enemy's front apart, force the enemy to increase the strategic depth, and put in more members of the alert regiment to search for my whereabouts."
"After harassing for two to three days in a row, the city lord Soler will have to send the deputy city lord of the Nine Rings out of the city to search for the enemy in order to eliminate external hidden dangers.
"At that point, I will be able to deconstruct the Deputy City Lord and figure out what the City Lord Soler and the people of the Soul Shaping Society are doing.
"As long as I find the right opportunity and prescribe the right medicine, I should still be able to break through the exiled city and loot the supplies in the city."
…
…
The city of exile at the same time.
After more than 6,000 Assassin laborers left the Lower City, the Lower City was silent, except for the members of the vigilant regiment guarding the city to patrol the city walls.
Looking up at the inverted triangular building overhead, the uptown fixed to the ceiling was as silent as ever.
The rich shadow energy surrounds the upper city in the form of black clouds, forming a magical barrier that makes it difficult for outsiders to peek into the mysteries.
At the top of this inverted triangle building, there is a magic hall with a vertical height of more than thirty meters.
Before the Dark Dead Laborers left the city, the Soul Shaping Society cast some kind of detection spell on them, capturing some of the laborers who were emitting white light.
Now, all the captured laborers have appeared in the magic hall.
Magical hooks that blocked the flow of energy in their bodies pierced their shoulder blades and necks.
They were suspended from the ceiling of the hall by magic hooks and locks, like cattle and sheep staying there.
Several chains of death runes pierced their heads, chests, waists and abdomen from front to back, connecting them all together, forming a circle around the magic circle on the floor.
There is no doubt that this is a magical ritual that involves many elements such as "pain", "torment", "spirit creatures", etc.
The Dark Laborers, trapped by runic chains and magical hooks, are the victims of this ritual.
And the calamity inflicted on them were the wizards who stood around the magic circle.
The Soul Shaping Society's main professor, Gimart, sent his own magic clone and seven Six-Ring Soul Shaping wizards to assist the city lord of the Exiled City, Soler.
The terrifying ritual scene in front of him is the handiwork of the soul shaping wizards.
Soul Shapers wear impenetrable black magic robes, masks, and hoods.
The lord of the Exiled City, Mobeth Soler, wears a robe with a ribbon and an elaborate buckle, and a metal headband with a forward magic gem on his head.
He's a miserable white shadow ghost.
While the Soul Shaping wizards perfected their magic arrays, he dragged the hem of his long magic robes and wandered in circles in the air, slightly restless.
"How much longer?" Soler asked the soul-shaping wizards below in a hoarse voice.
"At least six days." Gimart's magic clone gave a short answer.
Soler was clearly not too happy with this answer.
But considering that his attainments in the field of death magic were far less high than those of the other party, he could only endure it.
Soon, however, Soler's attitude changed due to the report from the Vigilance Corps.
Several members of the vigilant group who were responsible for docking with the outside of the city brought ominous information.
The whereabouts of the three chief city guardians who went out of the city to probe the enemy's reality are unknown.
The group of dark laborers and overseers who were responsible for building the magic barrier suffered heavy casualties and fled.
It doesn't take much thought to know that this must be the ghost of those thunderbolt wizards.
But the question is, who are they?
"Speed up, Gimart! Do whatever it takes! Soler said impatiently:
"I have a hunch that the enemy outside the city is coming for our ceremony!"
"At all costs?" Gimat didn't show his true face, and chuckled darkly:
"As long as you can provide more sacrifices, I can naturally speed up the progress. Sacrifice a vice-city lord and speed up by three days. Sacrifice two, and we can begin the ritual now. When the time comes, you can immediately feel the desire to 'reproduce'. When the ritual is over, you will be able to have the power to reproduce. ”
Hearing the word "breeding", Soler's eyes burst into fanaticism.
"How to reproduce as spirits" has always been a difficult problem for all spirit creatures.
Soler was no exception as the leader of the local Assassins.
He dreamed of being able to "give birth" to more and more Darkdead among his Darkdead without having to take captives of the Dead.
In fact, Soler and Exile were born to achieve the goal of "spirit reproduction", and their first mission was to study this magical subject.
Soler's collaborators are the Soul Shaping Society, which has a high level of attainment in the spirit field.
Due to the dangers of magical rituals that help spirits reproduce, the Dark Dead Magical Nation has moved the location of the experiment to the shadows of Cahill.
Even if the magic ritual caused an irreversible disaster, it would be the people of Cahill who suffered.
Soler spent more than a decade building and maintaining the City of Exile, collecting materials for experiments, and optimizing the experimental process.
How could he give up his life's pursuit because of the "thunderbolt wizard" outside the city.
"Wait here."
Soler dropped a cold word, turned and flew out of the window of the magic hall.
Within three minutes of his departure, a violent shadow energy swept through the city, violently destroying many magical walls, and roars and invectives resounded through the city.
The members of the vigilant group in the lower city were stunned as they watched the upper city area with shadow explosions one after another.
Walls collapsed and boulders fell from the sky, smashing houses in the lower city.
The massive Shadow Hydra reached out from the breach in the wall of Uptown, arcing through the air, and then smashing through another wall with a clatter, burrowing into it.
Shrill snakes and explosions bloom in the interior of the Uptown.
All sorts of shadow monsters were summoned, and terrifying shadow fireballs erupted from the inside out, directly destroying a small part of the city.
"What's going on in Uptown?!"
The members of the vigilant regiment in the lower city screamed in surprise and looked at each other.
In their gaze, a huge shadow like a low mountain appeared on the outskirts of the swaying upper city.
This demon shadow has horns on its head, its eyes are black, and although it only condenses the upper body, it is terrifying and terrifying.
It raised its hands and condensed a raging shadow flame in its palm, which further evolved into two shadow scimitars.
"Whew~Whew~"
Two 100-meter-long shadow scimitars swept across the upper city, leaving huge cracks in the walls visible to the naked eye.
Shadow energy burned like flames on the cracks, burning through the city in no time.
"Run!! Uptown is going to fall!! ”
I saw that the upper city of the inverted triangle was cut off by a huge demonic shadow, and the part below disintegrated and cracked, quickly turning into countless flying stones and falling, forming a sandstone waterfall in the air.
The Giant Shadow slashed through more and more urban areas with several swings of the blade, and finally staggered its knives into the urban area hanging from the ceiling, inspiring a monstrous wave of shadows.
"Boom~~~~"
In the entire upper city, except for the magic hall on the top floor, which was protected by an impregnable magic barrier, all the other areas were slashed by the twin knives of the giant demon shadow.
This earth-shattering change that occurred in Exile City caused energy fluctuations that covered the entire Yin Wind Plains.
Li Nuo'an's "tracking marker" placed at the junction of the stalagmite woodland and the Yin Wind Plain accurately captured the extraordinary energy anomaly.
He threw out the "Spiritual Vision" and glanced at the exiled city under the sand and rocks from a distance, and was dumbfounded on the spot:
"Ahh What is this doing? Who's attacking the city of exile? How else can I loot the treasures inside after ruining the city like this?! ”
Just when Li Nuo was complaining, a voice that he had not heard for a long time but was extremely familiar burrowed into his head.
"Beep ———— rustle"
"Beep————"
"Crooked than horn porphy beep horn porphyry-"
"Beep————"
Li Nuo's face changed, and his expression was extremely solemn:
"Alien noise? Appeared here? ”
