352. Mother Spider Monk
The process of getting through the first level was smooth and there were no surprises.
After passing through the checkpoint, there are more faint green street lamps on both banks, which stretch along the riverbank and point to the dark distance.
Li Nuo boarded a more spacious and fast medium-sized bone ship.
The bone ship was suspended ten centimeters above the water, and it quickly glided in the air, reaching a speed of tens of kilometers per hour, heading to the trading place arranged by the Necromantic Sect.
The same was true for the other sellers, who each boarded a medium-sized bone boat.
The individual sellers are separated by a hundred meters, forming a fleet of boats that sail down the river.
After about an hour of this, a brightly lit underground structure appeared in front of it.
It was a necromantic town resembling a human port city, illuminated by the ubiquitous green candle flames, and the figures of the people who came and went were lifeless undead creatures, and the occasional large, bloated undead creature could be seen.
Here, the air is filled with an undead mist that is extremely poisonous to ordinary people.
If a human soldier does not wear a gas mask, he will be poisoned to death as soon as he inhales a small puff of gray mist, and become the magic material of the Necromantic Sect.
Li Nuo was all too familiar with this fog.
The night of the escape from the fortress of the Kolabo Legion a year ago was the beginning of a fierce battle to destroy the fortress with a poisonous mist gushing out of the sewers.
Li Nuo has now activated the "breath of the dead" and has become a skeleton that does not need to breathe.
Fearless of the poisonous mist, he followed the low-ranking acolytes through the lifeless streets, bathed in green candles.
The undead creatures that came and went seemed to have lost all their minds.
They are numb to the chains, following their masters slowly, shackles tied to their ankles and making noises.
Li Nuo looked around without leaving a trace, his gaze swept over the low-level undead creatures and the necromantic acolytes who controlled them, and then at the translucent magical eyeballs floating on the roof of the house, looking down below.
There is no doubt that this is a forbidden area for the living, a slave camp for the dead.
At the very least, it must be an undead at the level of a necromantic acolyte in order to have a certain amount of autonomy in the city.
Otherwise, they can only become tireless slaves like those undead creatures who are chained.
Li Nuo deliberately observed the other sellers who were traveling with him.
Counting Li Nuo himself, there are a total of five "people".
To be precise, except for him Li Nuo and the Pure Light Secret Agent, the other three "people" are not "humans".
One is the Demon Brain Race that parasitizes humans.
It infected a death wizard with only three rings, and it seems that it only wants to use this body as a medium of exchange, not to live with it for long.
Another non-human creature is the High Ghoul.
This extraordinary creature can devour corpses in order to gain the memories and abilities of the deceased.
Ordinary ghouls only know how to eat and drink, and only the existence of high-level ghouls who have evolved can communicate with people normally and control their desire to eat.
Due to their ability to devour corpses in order to obtain the secrets of the deceased, high-ranking ghouls generally take on the role of detectives and tomb robbers.
The third inhuman seller was something Li Nuo didn't expect, it was actually a kraken.
That's right, it's the Kraken of the Siren Kingdom of Estano, and it's a Kraken envoy.
Even though the Kraken had changed its size with magic, Leno could still smell the smell of the sea from it.
A Pure Light Agent, a Demon Brain Clan, a High Thief Ghoul, a Siren Envoy, and Li Nuo, a Silent Enforcer.
In this way, the five "people" formed a team of sellers, and what connected them was the necromancy's demand for soul energy.
Li Nuo used deconstruction techniques to deconstruct them one by one, and got the memory fragments of the four of them in the past month.
How to say it...
Let's have their own picture.
Every "person" who comes to make a transaction has a hidden intention beyond the content of the transaction.
The Pure Light Agent has come to receive orders to spy on the Necromantic Sect.
The Demon Brain Clan wanted to find an opportunity to infect the middle level of a Necromantic Sect in order to infiltrate this extraordinary phenomenon of the realm level.
The High Ghoul wants to find out where the Necronomic's treasure is through trading, and then lead the gang behind it to commit the perfect crime.
The purpose of the Siren Envoy is more "direct".
In the course of the transaction, on behalf of Queen Estano, it will propose an alliance to the Necromancy to deal with the behemoth of the Unas Ring.
Looking at the whole circle, Li Nuo has become the simplest one...
He just wanted to find the exact time when the "Dead Steel Forest" appeared.
"Your Excellency, we have arrived."
The low-ranking acolyte whispered.
The group stopped in front of a dilapidated building covered in black moss, beneath the smell of rotting leaves and the stinking corpses of unidentified animals.
Li Nuo came back to his senses and looked at the building in front of him.
A town hall with a bell tower, in a classic pointed style, with badly damaged doors and windows, covered with cobwebs with thick bowl mouths.
The low-ranking acolyte lowered his voice and said:
"Just in case, let me introduce you to the monk in charge of the transaction. It was Brother Luo Fei of the Resentment faction, a high-ranking monk who could meet the Crypt Spider Mother. Her temper is as eccentric as that of Mother Crypt Spider. Please be careful. ”
Li Nuo nodded slightly.
The low-ranking acolyte stretched out his arm forward:
"Please come in. There may be other sellers waiting to be traded. You may have to wait a while before you can meet Brother Rofe. ”
It's really not your average bustle... Li Nuo sighed in his heart, and entered the city hall covered with cobwebs with his fellow sellers.
It's a magical building that looks ordinary on the outside, but there's a lot going on the inside.
The interior is much larger than it looks from the outside, like a palace built on thick cobwebs.
Its floor is made of sticky cobwebs, and the ceiling, door beams, roof beams, roofs, etc., etc., are also made of gray-white cobwebs.
The chair is a stocky cocoon, the table is a flat cocoon with legs, and even the candle flame that glows green is hung from a high-temperature cobweb.
With such a strange decoration style, Li Nuo was slightly stunned.
He kept his emotions under control, and sat down in a cobweb chair in the company of several half-human, half-spider creatures, and waited patiently for Brother Roffy's invitation.
- In the Tatis Empire, these half-human, half-spider monsters are called Crypt Spiders, and within the Necronomicon Cult, they are known as Mother Spider Squires.
Time spent observing other sellers and deconstructing human-faced spiders.
The first "man" of the High Ghouls to see Brother Rofe.
He was led into a deep cave by the spider maid.
Three minutes later, he was thrown out by a thick spider silk and smashed into the web floor outside the hole, blood gushing from his body, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest.
The High Thief Ghoul healed himself with death magic, stitched up his wounds with thin threads, patted his clothes, straightened his top hat, and walked away unharmed.
Li Nuo used deconstruction to see the process of the deal between the high-ranking ghoul and Brother Rofe.
This guy secretly hid a spell mark in the soul gem given, which was discovered by Brother Luo Fei, so there was a scene where he was thrown out of the cave.
The next to enter the cave were the Demon Brain Clan and the Kraken Envoy.
There are the erroneous demonstrations of the high ghouls, and the latter two are much more cautious.
The two of them completed the deal neatly, were escorted out by the spider mother's attendants, and quickly left the place.
It's the turn of the Pure Light Agent.
This guy disguised himself as a living corpse.
He only stayed in Luo Fei's cave for a minute before he came out.
Li Nuo used deconstruction to take a look, and his heart was happy.
This Pure Light spy is very scared in his heart, so he wants to complete the transaction as soon as possible, and he has a feeling of being driven out of the shelves.
When he saw Brother Luo Fei, he slapped the soul gem in front of the other party, took the equivalent death stone, and immediately turned away.
Li Nuo thought to himself that he might be able to follow the example of the Pure Light Secret Agent.
After all, all he needed was the point in time when the "Mortal Steel Forest" appeared, and this information could probably be obtained by deconstructing Brother Luo Fei with deconstruction.
"Hiss~~"
The spider mother attendant came to Li Nuo's side, and with the spider legs covered with black hair, he made a gesture in front of Li Nuo to keep up with him, which looked a little funny.
Li Nuo tidied up his clothes and followed the spider mother's attendant into the cave.
In the pot-shaped cavern, a necromantic monk named Luo Fei used the silk thread behind him as a traction, and slowly fell from the ceiling and entered Li Nuo's field of vision.
The monks of the Resentment faction are half-human, half-spiders, and so is Brother Rofe.
Another characteristic of the resentment faction is that the higher the level of strength, the higher the appearance.
To use the descriptive sentence with oriental characteristics, Brother Luo Fei is a bewitching female spider spirit.
The curves are graceful, the bumps are convex, the face is beautiful, and the red lips are dripping, ordinary people will be deeply fascinated by her just by looking at her.
Of course, the premise is to ignore her hideous lower body.
And the fangs in her mouth.
Well... And the murderous and bloodthirsty glint in her eyes.
Oh, and the smell of her, which was indescribably sour and rancid.
All kinds of negative traits were superimposed, and Li Nuo really couldn't be interested in this spider mother monk who didn't have any positive characteristics except for his attractive appearance.
"System, start deconstruction."
A shot of deconstruction was thrown out with Li Nuo's gaze.
After a faint sense of trance, the results of harmless deconstruction are refreshed in my mind.
At the same time, Brother Rofe, who was hanging upside down in the air, said with a hoarse tail note:
"Hiss~~ How many soul gems did you bring? Unfamiliar faces. Hiss~~"
Li Nuo dug into the pocket of the inner lining of his jacket, took out a small bag of soul gems and threw it over.
Brother Luo Fei threw out a spider silk and drew an arc in the air, steadily catching the soul gem and putting it in front of him to look at it.
Leno quickly reads the results of the solution in his mind.
Brother Luo Fei counted the soul gems on the spot.
The two of them do their own thing, and neither of them gets in the way of the other.
Half a minute later, Brother Rofe finished his examination and said with a wicked smile:
"10 exquisite soul gems, a total of 5 million soul energy. You are a seller that satisfies me. Servants, bring the Death Jewel Box to the guests, and drag a specimen from my cellar to our guests. ”
The spider mother's attendants hanging from the wall took action, setting off a yin wind, using spider silk as a traction, and moving quickly.
The first thing that appeared in front of Li Nuo was a delicate-looking metal jewelry box with a beautiful pattern.
Li Nuo opened the box and looked at it, 50 death gems, a total of 25 million death energy.
5 million soul energy in exchange for 25 million death energy, a 1:5 transaction ratio, this is still very cost-effective.
In the Unas Ring, the exchange ratio between the two is no more than 1:3 at most.
Li Nuo put away the death gem box and looked at the "specimen" that had been dragged by the spider mother's attendants.
It was actually a biochemical giant firmly wrapped in a spider's web, about five meters tall, and still maintained the state it was in when it transformed.
Brother Rofe proudly said that it was the spoils of war captured by her undead army.
Li Nuo can bring this specimen back and enjoy the joy of dismemberment, as well as harvest some magical materials with extraordinary effects.
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders slightly and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested in deformed artifacts."
Perhaps because the "charm" attribute on Li Nuo's panel was high enough and far better than the other four sellers, Brother Luo Fei was not annoyed.
She chuckled a few times, landed in front of Li Nuo, supported her proud upper body with eight spider legs, and looked condescendingly at Li Nuo, who was only up to her abdomen:
"Snort, boring guy. How much more soul energy can you bring? ”
The Mother Spider attendant dragged the specimen back to the cellar.
Brother Roffe walked around Lino, treading the tick-tock dance steps.
Li Nuo thought for a while and said:
"Not sure. The more you give, the more I sell. ”
Brother Roffe stopped in front of Li Nuo and looked down at the skeleton in the black cloak:
"You seem to be very confident."
"Whether you have confidence or not, you will know the next time you trade." Li Nuo raised his head:
"Give me a quicker way to get around. It was a waste of time to come by boat. ”
"Oh, a dead man would be afraid of wasting time." Brother Roffe seemed to have heard something ridiculous.
Li Nuo was unmoved.
Most of his attention is on solving the consequences.

A secret letter from the Death Society?
The order of memory fragments is chronological.
The closer to the present point in time, the smaller the serial number of the memory fragment.
That is, just today or yesterday, Brother Roffe received a secret letter from the Death Society.
Li Nuo clicked the letter along with Mother Spider's instructions and read it side by side.
A few lines on the letter of the death meeting reflected Li Nuo's vision:
"Nine of our members have died in the polluted areas of Convergence City. One of them carried fifteen trade invitations that had not yet been issued. Please do not trust anyone or non-person who is trading with you with this letter. ”
Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
