342. Gray Promotion
The polluted area of the "Gray Plains", which bears the name of "Plains", is actually more like a fragmented continent.
The plot is fractured, and there are many floating islands that turn over on their sides.
A mysterious and unknown extraordinary power holds these islands in the air so that they cannot be destroyed by external forces.
The Assassin Angel said that this was originally the territory of the Silica Giants.
Li Nuo can see that the silica giant only likes silica and doesn't like other things.
The grass on the plains is a soft stone whisker that shimmers with tiny lilac light, forming a vast sea of purple.
The strange beasts of the steppe, which have fallen to the ground, are also made of some kind of silica. Like shattered crystal sculptures, they waited quietly for the Grey Rot Plague to turn itself into flesh.
The flowers, fruit trees, insects, and even the flowing rivers and the land itself are made of silica.
If they had traveled from the world before Li Nuo had traveled and had tied up a vote of scientists and thrown them here, they would definitely be shocked by what they saw.
Li Nuo has no time to study the strange silica in the field of pollution.
He was entangled in the Gray Rotten Man.
Protected by illusionary magic and anti-detection magic barriers, he was still spotted by the Grey Rotten on a floating island tilted 45 degrees.
It's just that the gray rotten person who discovered his existence was not the kind of bloodthirsty and ruthless existence.
The gray man was dressed in a weave of flesh like a scholar's robe, and was not covered in blood like the other gray men.
When Leno saw him, the gray man was standing on the edge of the floating island, looking down thousands of meters below the ground, watching the chaotic battlefield there.
Out of nowhere, he got a book made of flesh and blood and a pen of ink, and compared it with the scene of the battlefield, he quietly recorded what he saw on the floating island.
The gray man's makeup and demeanor were so strange that Li Nuo subconsciously stared at him for a long time, and threw out the deconstruction technique.
It was after staying for such a short time that the gray man vaguely sensed Li Nuo's presence and cast his gaze in the direction where he was.
"Shhhh Chirping... Sa... Hisss ...
The pronunciation is like a poisonous tongue spitting out letters.
The Grey Man looked at Li Nuo, who was invisible, in confusion, and muttered to himself, as if wondering what had caught his attention.
From him, Li Nuo saw a kind of thinking breath that came from "rationality".
Li Nuo called up the solution and glanced at it, feeling a little helpless in his heart.
He failed to deconstruct anything useful.
Well, no, to be precise, it's because of harmless deconstruction, which leads to a serious lack of decomposition results.
The different gray rotten man in front of him only needs 3 million energy points to be completely harmlessly deconstructed, but the completeness of deconstruction is only 2%.
Li Nuo only knew the other party's name and a very small amount of identity information.
"Your Excellency...", Li Nuo quietly called in his heart:
"I found an alternative gray man. He seems to be able to see through my disguise. ”
The Assassin Angel may be in a good mood today, or maybe something else.
He seemed more than happy to answer Lenovo's question.
"Oh, a grey poet."
"The Grey Poet?" Li Nuo muttered to himself.
After scanning the deconstructed panel information again, the entry of "Gray Poet" was simultaneously updated on the "Identity" column.
Previously, the entry was four question marks and was unknown.
Now, it has been updated with the words of the Assassination Angel.
This shows that the origin of the assassination angel's dictation is accurate.
It is clear that the Assassination Angel is very, very familiar with the Grey Rotten.
Li Nuo thought about it for a while and decided to ask directly:
"What is a gray poet? Why didn't he go down there and fight the other gray people.
"He can't go down, and neither can the gray rotten people below. The height difference is a natural barrier and barrier, but it is only temporary..."
The assassination angel told the history of the "gray poet", and Li Nuo listened to it with relish.
Within the silica giant, "upward" represents the elevation of status, and "shrinking" represents the longevity of inheritance.
The silica giants in high positions must live closer to the sky.
At the same time, the longer you stay in a high position, the smaller the size of the silica giant and the denser the body becomes.
The gray rotten man who appeared in front of Li Nuo's eyes right now was transformed from a silica giant in a high position.
He temporarily suppressed the tendency of his body to split, but could not avoid flesh and blood.
Only by trying his best to avoid fighting can he use what little extraordinary power he has left in his body to suppress the division of his body.
When the gray man below decides the winner, he will wait for the final winner to rise to the sky, and present his own epic of praise to the other party.
If he was lucky, the winner would spare his life and be entrusted with the duties of clerk.
If you're unlucky, a battle breaks out between the two sides, which ends with the Grey Poet exploding into tens of millions of Grey Men and restarting a new battle.
After listening to the story, Li Nuo raised his head and looked at the floating islands layer after layer above.
These islands were created by a silica giant, a symbol of status...
He thought it was formed by the core of the "Rotten" plane destroying the terrain here.
"If I keep flying, won't I meet more gray poets?"
Leno looked up at the farthest island in the sky.
During the past half an hour of exploration, Li Nuo accidentally rose into the air and felt energy fluctuations from directly above.
This energy fluctuation was caused by soul energy, and Li Nuo was very familiar with it, and he would definitely not admit it.
He threw a large amount of deconstruction techniques into the sky, and finally found traces of the ritual circle of the Pollution Realm from the hundreds of deconstructing results.
As long as he kept flying upwards, he would be able to approach the ceremony site and find the essence of the corpse gatherer.
The assassination angel followed Li Nuo's gaze, looked high in the sky, and said:
"You'll not just meet the Grey Poets, but also other Grey Rotten Men who have been transformed from the strongest of the silica giants."
"Other kinds of gray rotten people..."Li Nuo's heart moved slightly.
He finally glanced at the gray poet in his direction, and turned to fly upwards, heading higher up to the floating island.
Behind him, the Grey Poet raised his arms and stretched them out into the air, as if trying to hold on to something.
The gray poet's hands waved and clenched in the air, grabbing only the ubiquitous air.
He dropped his arms and continued to watch the melee on the ground.
Li Nuo came to the second floating island, about 15 kilometers above the ground.
At this height, in addition to seeing the Grey Poet, he also found a Grey Man standing like an ancient tree with his feet in the soil.
According to the Assassination Angel, this Grey Man is known as the Grey Man, the food that the core of the "Grey" Plane is specially prepared for the Celebrant Victorious.
It will grow a steady stream of fresh flesh for the mighty Grey to eat.
Prior to being infected with the Grey Rot, the Grey Rotpers were nobles of the silica giants.
Continuing upwards, Li Nuo came to the third level of the floating island.
Here he meets the "Cast Ash Rotten Man", a Grey Rotten Man transformed from a high-temperature silica giant that can cast high-temperature flames to help the Grey Rotten smelt and forge them.
Further up, the fourth level of the floating island.
The number of floating islands in this layer is smaller, but the area is large, each piece has a width of tens of kilometers.
Moreover, there are no gray rotten people in this layer, but there are a lot of ores and silica plants of unknown effect.
"This is supposed to be a place for the gray rotten people who have been promoted from below to fight each other."
Li Nuo overlooked the plains he had walked and saw dozens of chaotic battlefields.
In each battleground, at least one Grey Man will come out and enjoy the resources of the first to third layers of the Floating Island, and then a new war will break out on the fourth level because of the ores and plants.
Sure enough, just as the assassination angel said, the core of the "Rotten" plane has deliberately designed a promotion mechanism, supplemented by sufficient resources as encouragement.
Its purpose is to elect a great lord who can help it rule over all the Greys.
"That's... What is the fifth layer? ”
With curiosity, Li Nuo rose high into the sky.
The floating islands on the fifth level are less numerous and less large.
When Li Nuo flew here, he saw a pool of gray gooey and banded insects wriggling in the pool.
"The breeding pond of the gray rotten." Assassination Angel says:
"Considering that you are still human, I will not tell you about its usage and effects. You just need to know that the Gray Rotten Man who owns the breeding pool can quickly copy himself and create a new Gray Rotten Man whose combat power is lower than his. ”
Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique towards the breeding pool, consumed one or two million energy points, unlocked the opponent's panel information, and kept it for later use.
He was not curious to ask, and flew directly to the floating island a few kilometers above his head.
The sixth, seventh, and eighth layers are the places where the core of the "Rotten" plane guides the Rotten people to kill each other.
These three floors contain numerous supplies and production facilities that can be used by the Grey Rotten to craft weapons and equipment with extraordinary effects.
Among the supplies, there were many things that were rare and precious at first glance, but because they all had gray rot disease, Li Nuo did not stop to loot.
On the ninth floor of the floating island, Li Nuo finally saw something he knew.
The spire-shaped vacuum bubble emitter, like a cone, stands on the vast ground of the ninth floor, pointing straight at the twinkling outer space.
With a violent fluctuation of soul energy, the vacuum bubble emitter flashed a large patch of bright gray light from the bottom to the top.
"Buzz Buzz..."
After a series of power surges, the tip of the vacuum bubble emitter shoots out a brilliant pillar of light, which is inserted into outer space, and dozens of metal capsules connected from end to end are launched.
In this cycle, batch after batch of capsules loaded with aggregates are sent into outer space by pillars of light, hidden in the dark cosmic background.
"This is the gap in the alien sky..."
Li Nuo raised his eyes to stare at the gap in the alien sky wrapped in purple mist around him, and watched the capsule warehouse escape into it.
"What would happen if I were to take the form of a skeleton now, ride in the capsule, and follow the pillar of light of the vacuum bubble launcher into the alien sky..."
Li Nuo, who was in an invisible state, was not discovered by Maddie Manson, who was operating the vacuum bubble emitter, for the time being.
The assassination angel may have guessed what Li Nuo was thinking, and said:
"The alien sky is just a bigger cage, it's not as beautiful as you think."
Li Nuo took a slight breath.
After learning about the existence of the Plane Core, of course, he knew that the alien sky was not the promised land he imagined.
But he couldn't explain the origin of his yearning for the starry sky.
He didn't want to return to the information society, nor did he want to experience the feeling of jumping, he just wanted to find the legendary "immortal".
After hearing Comini mention the undead who resembled "players", Lino gathered information on this from various sources.
How to say it...
The more information he read, the more Li Nuo felt that the so-called immortals were the players in his cognition.
In contact with these people, Li Nuo may have the feeling of finding his fellow countrymen.
Maybe he can learn the secret of his crossing from the mouths of the players.
In short, whether it is due to the deep understanding of the "player" group, or in order to dig out the truth of his own crossing, Li Nuo plans to get in touch with the other party and others as soon as he enters the alien sky.
This is the true thought hidden deep in his heart.
"You're right, Your Excellency." Leno came back to his senses and looked at Maddie Manson, who was fiddling with the console:
"Until I'm fully prepared, there's only one way to go into the alien sky. Not to mention how to find a foothold in the vast sea of stars, just the time transformation of shuttling between the inner and outer starry sky is not something I can bear..."
Li Nuo paused, glanced at the ninth layer, and did not see the corpse essence of the Blood Sun God Seal and the corpse gatherer, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:
"Let's not talk about that, Your Excellency. How come there is only Maddie Manson and the vacuum bubble launcher here? Is the corpse essence of the Corpse Gatherer hidden in the resurrection space of the Polluted Realm, like Bloodbinder Zudak? ”
The last time he was able to discover the resurrection space in the Polluted Realm, it was by the Twilight Giant Omis Gad, and the latter's information came from the assassination angel.
In order not to delay time, Li Nuo chose to ask as soon as he opened his mouth, not worrying at all about the other party's refusal to answer.
The crystal prism on his finger emits a very faint mysterious rhythm.
After about a minute, the Assassination Angel said:
"Finish Maddie Manson, enter the vacuum bubble launcher, find the hair extension platform, the corpse essence of the corpse gatherer is being teleported through the gap in the alien sky."
Li Nuo subconsciously raised his head and looked at the pillar of light emitted from the tip of the spire.
The metal capsule in the pillar of light disappeared, and was replaced by a double helix of gray, purple, and red.
This thing stretches out from the alien sky along the pillar of light into the spire, and is in a spinning state at all times.
Li Nuo threw a deconstruction technique at the object, and then nodded slightly, knowing that he had found the right owner.
This is the corpse essence of the corpse gatherer in the teleportation state, and its deconstruction consumption is not much different from the corpse essence of Bloodbinder Zudak. (End of chapter)
