Deconstruction wizard

Chapter 308 308. Chasing the Shadow
Li Nuo and Creeping Fear stared at each other.

This scene lasted less than 5 seconds before it was broken by a burst of noise coming from under my feet.

"Shushasha... Kaka Kaka..."

This time the noise was far more chaotic than before.

Apparently there are many shadow creatures coming from the underground to where Li Nuo is.

The five crawling fears in front of them are purely trying to delay time and wait for reinforcements, not really afraid of the "silent shield" on Li Nuo.

Li Nuo looked around from the corner of his eye.

The place where he is now is an underground cave covering an area of ​​no more than two hundred square meters.

There are about three artificial holes on the wall, each leading to different directions.

In the corner, some earthy brown stones with gnaw marks were piled up.

These stones are exactly barren stones.

There are broad footprints near them.

Judging from the height and width of the hole, the half-eaten rocks and the outline of the footprints, this place should have been the territory of the Mole Man.

Now, the Mole Man is gone and replaced by shadow creatures. The whereabouts of the Mole Man can be imagined.

Li Nuo calmly looked at the hole on the side, nodded secretly, and had some guesses about the location of the shadow magic array.

Just when he came to a conclusion, ten crawling terrors jumped out from the ground and appeared in front of him in a ferocious posture.

Their arrival represents a signal for war.

The first five crawling terrors pounced on Li Nuo like jackals.

Before the sharp claws arrived, the long tongue of shadow arrived first.

Five smelly black tongues shot out from the crawling fearful mouth like bullets, pointing at Li Nuo's heart, head, and ankles.

The remaining ten crawling fears, however, did not pounce on Li Nuo. Instead, they violently shook the heads on their backs and made noisy sound waves.

The noise suddenly increased in volume, as if a tweeter was placed next to Li Nuo's ear.

At the same time, a large number of shadow threads emerged from the crawling fear.

The shadow threads, far denser than a spider web, instantly weaved an airtight black cocoon around Li Nuo!
At this moment, many system words were refreshed in Li Nuo's mind.

【warn! 】

【You are suffering from the "crawling fear" attack! 】

["Shadow Slash" hits the vitals of your body, and the damage has been blocked by the "Silence Shield"! 】

["Shadow Psychic Shock" hit your heart, and the damage has been blocked by "Psychic Shield"! 】

["Shadow Web" exerts a "restraint effect" on you, and your mobility is reduced! 】

Level 50 crawling fear is nothing more than that.

Even my shield can't be penetrated.

Li Nuo squinted at the crawling fear biting him.

This hateful-looking shadow monster has multiple mouthparts, with more than a dozen dagger-like teeth inside the mouthparts.

As soon as he bit his arm, Crawling Fear's teeth began to spray shadow energy.

The sticky, icy, fishy-smelling thick shadow energy flowed along Li Nuo's bone arm, and had a fierce magical reaction with the shield on his body.

The five crawling terrors splashed shadow energy wildly, and in just three seconds, Li Nuo's entire body was dyed black in the process of biting.

The system sent round after round of warning messages, all reminding Li Nuo that he was under attack, but the damage was all blocked by the "Silent Shield".

The shadow energy resistance of "Silent Shield" reaches an astonishing 99%.

At this time, this resistance advantage was fully revealed, giving Li Nuo the confidence to fight against 15 crawling terrors alone.

Of course, Li Nuo's attitude of being beaten was intentional.

This was the first time he was attacked by a shadow creature in a real sense.

He was interested in testing how much damage a level 50 shadow creature could cause, so that he could have an idea of ​​how much damage it could cause.

Li Nuo clicked on his personal panel:

...

[Sound of Silence Meditation] Level 100

[Spirit] 100 points

[Magic Shield] Level 100, shield strength 200 points

【Energy value】13 million/647 (100+547)

...

"Spirit" is 100 points, which means that "magic shield" can be automatically cast 1 times within 100 second.

The enemy must inflict 1 points of effective damage within 2 second to penetrate Li Nuo's shield.

Just judging from the current situation:
Under the premise that Li Nuo's shadow energy resistance is 99%, the peak damage of a single level 50 crawling terror is approximately 700 points of shadow energy per second.

The 15 crawling terrors in front of him suffered a total of 1.05 points of damage per second, which was far from the requirement of not penetrating Li Nuo's shield.

Li Nuo stood here and beat them, and the other party couldn't do anything to him.

But if there are 15 more crawling fears, the situation will be different.

With this thought, Li Nuo no longer spent time collecting combat data.

He mobilized the thunder and lightning energy in his magic heart and poured it into the magic orb in his left hand.

The magic orb is activated by lightning energy, releasing a dazzling blue light.

"Crack!"

In an instant, "Thunder Star" was formed!
Spherical thunderstorms take Li Nuo as a sphere and spread in all directions, covering every corner of the underground space.

The ferocious electric snake pierced through the crawling and frightening body, causing a series of filthy explosions.

The strong shadow aura mixed with the violent thunder and lightning energy was scurrying around the cave.

All this happens in just one second.

The thunder and lightning subsided and the light dimmed.

The crawling fear that had surrounded Li Nuo with his grinning teeth before turned into black shadow fragments, turning into black mist and drilling into the ground.

The shadow fragments trapped in the rock cage were not spared. Each one was blasted into mist by lightning and disappeared from the ground.

The rock cage itself survived because of its good resistance to lightning energy...

Except for Li Nuo, there were no other creatures or monsters at the scene.

"Well, not bad. The lightning energy resistance of shadow creatures is negative 10%. I only used 100 million points of lightning energy to kill 15 crawling fear seconds. If the wasted lightning energy is not counted, it can be divided into every Only crawling fear, but only 6.6 lightning energy costs."

Li Nuo silently calculated the combat data and became convinced.

Since the thunder and lightning spell is so useful, he no longer has to be as timid as before.

Li Nuo gave the five ground-drilling mechanical spirits in the ground an order to go down with all their strength.

He took out another 15 spider machine spirits and threw them into three holes in the wall.

Each cave entrance is scouted by 5 Spider Mechanical Spirits.

Li Nuo multitasks, using the "psychic beacon" on the magic ring to control 20 mechanical spirits at the same time.

"I wish Noreen were here. She's much better at this kind of reconnaissance than I am."

Li Nuo suddenly slapped his forehead, and a wonderful idea popped into his mind!
"Eh? By the way! Since there is no delay when I use "Psychic Sight" to observe Island No. 33 no matter how far the distance is, doesn't this mean that Norin can also help me control the mechanical spirit from a distance? Instead of worrying about delays? "

Li Nuo felt that his idea was feasible.

He operated in his mind, selected the "tracking mark" on Noreen, threw out the "telepathy", and communicated with the other party through the air.

It is afternoon.

Noreen is on the 2nd floor underground, giving an alchemy class to Nicole.

After receiving Li Nuo's instructions, she turned around and sat next to the magic access device.

She had two threads of thought activated at the same time.

Thought thread No. 1 is used to try to control the mechanical spirit around Li Nuo.

Thought thread No. 2 is responsible for drawing the map of the Mole Man's cave where Li Nuo is located on the magic access device.

After several minutes of running-in, Norin successfully took over the control of the Earth-Drilling Mechanical Spirit and the Spider Mechanical Spirit from Li Nuo.

"Sir! I didn't expect that I could still help you even though we are so far apart!" Noreen cheered in her heart, with a smile on her face.

Li Nuo smiled and said:

"I also feel a little surprised. It seems that spiritual magic is far more profound than we imagined. Let's not talk about it for now. Please help me find the lair of the shadow creature. Be careful. I am not sure whether the shadow creature can attack Suman who is far away. You in the archipelago apply "Shadow Psychic Blast".You'd better cut off contact with the mechanical spirit as soon as you discover them. "

"Okay, sir."

Norin and Li Nuo learned about the characteristics of crawling fear and shadow cocoon, and then began to control the mechanical spirit to explore the path.

20 mechanical spirits and 20 magic visions were arranged in 4 rows and 5 columns in Li Nuo's mind.

Without Li Nuo needing to do anything, the pictures on the 20 magic visions started to move.

Just as Li Nuo had guessed before, he was indeed located in the Mole Man's cave complex.

Starting from the cave where he is, drill into the three holes in the wall to reach three Mole Man caves with different uses.

The hole on the far left leads to the Mole Man's warehouse, where there are piles of rocks like a low mountain.

The hole in the middle is connected to a very vast underground hall.On the ground in the center of the hall, there is a handicraft of the Mole Man - a stone ornament carved with carvings using fingernails.The hole on the right leads to the mineral deposit, with obvious mining traces and debris scattered on the ground.

The strange thing is that the Mole Man does not appear in the magical vision, and there is no dark green blood of the Mole Man on the ground and walls.

Well, there is only one answer:
The mole people in this cave group have all become food for the shadow creatures.

The relationship between living beings and shadow creatures is equivalent to the relationship between wild rocks and mole people.

How much shadow energy can an entire cave group of mole people bring to shadow creatures and shadow magic arrays?
Li Nuo quietly waited for Norin's reconnaissance results.

Norin didn't keep Li Nuo waiting for too long.

But the reconnaissance results were somewhat beyond Li Nuo's expectations.

About 300 meters below Li Nuo, there is an underground cavity the size of a football field.

There may have been a place where the Mole Man slept. There are many horizontal depressions on the wall where the Mole Man could lie down.

The mole man's bones and hair covered the floor of this underground cavity, but there was still no blood.

And in the center of these terrifying things was a magic circle that had just been destroyed by humans.

The frame of the magic circle is a magic metal chain with relatively high energy transmission efficiency.

The chains coiled into an intricate circular pattern on the ground.

There is an empty space in each of the three corners of the pattern, which is where magic devices are protected.

As long as the magic circle is activated, the shadow magic stone in the center of the magic circle will flow out shadow energy, which will enter the magic device along the magic metal chain, and then some kind of magic phenomenon will occur.

This is a common magic circle design idea in the wizarding world.

But now, this magic circle has been cut, melted, and corroded by the shadow energy, turning into metal waste everywhere.

There is no doubt that after someone discovered that Li Nuo could easily kill shadow creatures, he decisively destroyed the shadow magic circle and took away all the shadow creatures.

If a normal wizard finds out this step, he will probably fall into a situation of slow progress.

but!

This is for normal wizards.

Li Nuo used "Death Flight" and followed Noreen's guidance to find these metal wastes.

He was determined to try his reasoning ability, and he didn't use deconstruction as soon as he came up.

"The maximum width of the magic circle is 15 meters. Well, this is a medium-sized magic circle. Generally, a wizard cannot operate a magic circle like this, so two assistants must be added."

Li Nuo squatted down, used the "Wizard's Hand" to push away the metal scraps, and observed the ground under the magic circle:
"When the magic metal chain conducts shadow energy, a very slight shadow energy escape occurs. This escaped energy corrodes the surface of the ground. The corrosion area is not large, and the corrosion depth is only two or three millimeters.

"The person who set up the magic circle did not lay a magic carpet on the ground to prevent energy from corroding the ground. This shows that the group of people did not intend to stay here for a long time. They only settled temporarily and did not care about the negative impact of energy escape on the ground. "

Li Nuo looked around and scanned the white bones nearby.

He saw the skull, leg bones, sternum, finger bones and other bones of the Mole Man, but he did not see the spine.

As humanoid creatures that walk upright, mole men also have spines.

There are at least two hundred mole-men lying here, but there is not a single backbone.

Li Nuo quietly remembered this.

He walked around the metal waste and found some more clues.

After he couldn't find any new details at all, he threw the deconstruction technique at the metal waste.

The moment he received the decomposition results, Li Nuo's mouth twitched slightly.

how to say.

A system is a system after all.

Sometimes, it can discover more things than Li Nuo.

【system information:】

[You consumed 2.3 energy points and launched a harmless deconstruction of the "destroyed shadow magic array". 】

[Harmless deconstruction succeeded! 】

【You have obtained the following deconstruction results:】

[Name] Destroyed Shadow Magic Array

【Item Level】Level 0

【Description】

The organizers of the magic circle are suspected to be three shadow wizards with five to six rings.

When building the magic circle, the arranger used about 3.2 tons of magic metal chains with an item level of about 55.

(The rest of the deconstruction information is omitted)

...

The conclusions drawn from Li Nuo's observations also appeared in the results of the analysis.

Not only that, the system also marks the wizard's strength of the arranger.

This is as strange as deconstructing handwriting and knowing the information about the writer.

Li Nuo was already used to this.

He took out the death thread wand from his magic pocket, and threw the "death spell" at the bones on the ground.

Today's "Death Technique" has reached level 100.

For all the extra rewards at level ten, Li Nuo chose "Option [-]: Increase the number of enslaved undead."

A total of 200 undead skeletons composed of mole man bones stood up from the ground and became Li Nuo's men.

This was the first time for Norin to see Li Nuo’s death magic skills, and she couldn’t help but marvel:
"Wow~ Sir, you can still control so many undead~ It's really amazing! Can I learn this kind of spell?"

Li Nuo grinned and responded with "telepathy":
"Don't even think about learning death spells. For some reason, the best you can learn is mind spells."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I can still help you by controlling the mechanical spirit with mind magic." Norin didn't feel depressed at all.

She controlled 20 mechanical spirits, reunited to Li Nuo and asked:
"Then what should we do now? Should we continue to search for the whereabouts of the shadow creatures?"

"No." Li Nuo shook his head and took out the terrain map of the quarry he drew from his magic pocket.

He drew several arcs on the topographic map:

"Noreen, you control the mechanical spirit and follow the route I drew to find the mole people's caves, and try to figure out the distribution of the mole people around the quarry. During this period, whether you find traces of shadow creatures , or if you see the Mole Man, you must tell me immediately."

"Okay, sir." Noreen took the order.

Li Nuo picked up a magic bag on his waist and shook out a large number of mechanical spirits.

The total number of mechanical spirits reaching 100 has become the object of Norin's control.

With the sound of brisk footsteps, the Mechanical Spirits quickly left the cave and headed in all directions.

Li Nuo's idea is very simple.

First of all, he basically determined that the underground monsters that appeared deep in the quarry were actually shadow creatures.

Secondly, the shadow creature's attack on the quarry might have been an accident.

The original intention of the wizard who arranged the shadow magic circle should be to destroy the mole people and convert all the mole people into shadow energy.

Some shadow cocoons accidentally ran into the quarry, which led to the appearance of "underground monsters".

If these two judgments are accurate, then Noreen should find more empty Mole Man caves and Mole Man skeletons near the quarry.

Wizards from other factions may look down on these bones, but to Li Nuo, they are ready-made spell-casting materials~
Li Nuo chuckled and opened a magic book in his mind that he had barely read.

The name of this magic book is "The Skeleton Dictionary".

It was found by Li Nuo from the tomb wizard Nehekat's magic pocket after he killed him.

The Tomb Wizard comes from the wizard force "Tomb King".

It was a large force that was extremely obsessed with bone magic and was busy searching for strange bones all day long.

In the eyes of the tomb wizard, bones are "aggregate", a material that grows on living creatures.

All the aggregates obtained by the Tomb Wizard will be sent to the Tomb King's treasury.

Li Nuo used harmless deconstruction to obtain the spell blueprint in the "Dictionary of Skeletons".

This includes an extremely useful ritual bone magic:

"Bone Exploration Ritual".

There are too many skeletons stored in the "Tomb King", and it is inevitable that the correct bones cannot be found.

At this time, the "Bone Exploration Ritual" comes in handy.

As long as the magic altar required for the ritual is arranged and enough bones are put in as casting materials, the exact location of a specific skeleton can be sensed.

The good news is that the blueprint of "Bone Search Ritual" in Li Nuo's hand is only 10% complete, but it does not affect its use.

The bad news is...

The amount of aggregate required for the ritual is 10 times the normal amount.

Li Nuo may have to prepare thousands of Mole Man skeletons in order to find the whereabouts of the Mole Man's spine.

If the questing ritual is detected by the holder of the spine during the magical ritual, there will also be a backlash of the spell.

Li Nuo planned to try the "Bone Exploration Ritual" first.

If that fails, try another method.
