Constructing-Style Wizard

132 Chapter 132. Strange Crack

Li Nuo detoured southward for about five kilometers, far away from the temporary camp of Jinshangzhijian, and approached the crack from the south side of the crack.

Standing on the edge of the cliff in the crack of the aberration and looking down, you will see the cliff extending vertically downward, and the darkness that cannot be illuminated by the moonlight.

This steep terrain is not suitable for human activities.

The alchemists from Aggregation City will use scaffolding, hanging ladders, telescopic tracks and simple mechanical platforms to build temporary passages to the bottom of the cliff.

For aberrants, it is much more convenient to move on this terrain.

Class 1 and Class 2 mutants, that is, small-sized and standard-sized mutants, are mutants that have just hatched from mutant eggs.

These two levels of aberrations have yet to develop suckers on the soles of their feet, and cannot move vertically on smooth cliffs.

Starting from level 3 aberrants, as the level increases, there will be more and more functional organs and extracorporeal tissues on the aberrant body.

Suction cups that can be absorbed on smooth surfaces, external hard masses that protect joints and vital parts, sharp fangs that enhance the lethality of mouthparts, bone claws that can be retracted on hand joints, parotid glands that spit acid, etc.

It can be said that for the same category of aberrants, the higher the level, the more "small parts" there are on the aberrant body, and the stronger the overall strength.

In addition to the factor of level that will affect the combat power of the deformed body, the "type" of the deformed body will also have an impact.

Aberrations that cannot fly are defined by the Alchemy Temple as "walking legs". In this category, deformities with four legs are the most common. Like the two-legged devourer, the six-legged sower, and the serpent-like legless piercer, these are the elite aberrations of the amphipods.

Aberrations that can fly are defined as "flying wings" by the Alchemy Temple. The more wings you have, the more powerful you are. Those with only one wing are called Pianyi, those with two wings are called Double Wings, those with three wings are called Three Wings, and so on.

Aberrants like this that can fly are the backbone of patrolling back and forth in the cracks in the aberrants.

Li Nuo jumped down from the edge of the cliff, cast the "Bone Spirit Flying Technique", and flew to the bottom of the cliff in the form of a skull.

At the moment when the surrounding environment became dim, there was the sound of flapping wings in the air.

In the dark area where the moonlight cannot reach, several flying wing aberrations found visitors who were not on the invitation list.

They flapped their wings, flew out of the hole in the cliff, and circled around the white skull that had rushed in here.

Li Nuo drank the high-quality night vision potion bought from Miaomiao Trial in advance.

His field of vision in a dark environment is about 300 meters.

As soon as the group of flying wing aberrations flew out of the cave, they were locked on by Li Nuo's eyes.

Li Nuo threw a deconstruction technique at them, consumed a few energy points, and obtained a small amount of personalized panel information.

…

[Identity] Flying Guard of the Abnormal Lair

…

The panel information shows that this group of flying wing aberrations has and only has the identity of "flying guards", and does not have the identity of "Tatis Empire MI5 Sergeant".

It can be seen that not all the mutants in this lair were transformed by MI5 people.

Li Nuo recognized the situation and took his own preset action plan.

While disabling the "Bone Spirit Flying Technique", he activated the "Aura of the Dead", turning into a pale skeleton.

He let his body fall downwards under the pull of gravity.

The flying wing aberrations circling around him didn't seem to understand why the visitor changed from a skull to a skeleton.

They flapped their wings, hovered in the air, and watched the skeleton fall to the bottom of the cliff.

Seeing this scene, Li Nuo knew that his actions tonight would be a great success in all likelihood.

In the process of transporting life medicine, the winged mutants transformed by members of MI5 must master the following two skills:

First, they need to know how to recognize the direction and can cross the vast sea of ​​sand without getting lost. At the same time, they also need to accurately find the entrance to the imperial army on the cliffs of the Blade's Edge Mountains.

Second, they know how to communicate with the imperial army, know how to distinguish between friend and foe, and then peacefully hand over the life potion with the imperial army.

These two abilities are based on a level of intelligence that is close to that of human beings.

Li Nuo thought that this level of intelligence was possessed by every winged mutant.

Now seeing the performance of this group of flying guards, Li Nuo knew in his heart:

Only the flying wing mutants transformed by members of MI5 have intelligence levels comparable to humans.

The other flying-wing aberrations are the same as the walking-legged aberrations, all of which are mentally retarded and have defects in action logic.

They can't tell the difference between a skeleton and a skeletal undead, and they can't understand the magic that turns a living person into a skeleton.

Humanoids in the form of skeletons are not enemies in their eyes.

Only living beings who are lively and jumping, with breathing and heartbeat are their enemies.

As long as this point is used skillfully, it will not be a problem to wipe out the lair here.

After Li Nuo confirmed that the group of flying wing aberrations did not come after him, he activated the "Bone Spirit Flying Technique" in the space below 20 to 30 meters away from the opponent.

He turns back into a flying skull.

This scene was seen by the group of silly flying wing aberrations, but it did not cause any reaction.

After they chirped a few times, they seemed to have no interest in this bone that could change back and forth.

They flapped their fleshy wings clattering, flew back to the hole on the cliff, and disappeared in the darkness.

Li Nuo continued to fly downward, and encountered several groups of flying wing aberrations squatting in the cave.

In the same way, he used the skeleton form of "Aura of the Dead" to avoid tracking, and he passed through the defense lines unhindered.

After a minute-long flight, Li Nuo finally landed successfully at the bottom of the dark cliff.

He activated the "breath of the dead", turned into a skeleton, and looked up at the sky.

The night with a bright moon shrunk to the size of a bowl, surrounded by dense darkness.

Keeping his gaze flat, and scanning his surroundings, what Li Nuo saw was not a mucus carpet covering the ground, but a square hole dug by hand.

He raised the "eyebrows" that didn't exist, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

In his vision, the bottom of the cliff in the crack of the deformed body should be covered with the slime of the deformed body. On the half-meter-thick mucus, many deformed eggs will be placed. And near the densely packed eggs, there will be various mutants patrolling back and forth, taking care of the mutant eggs, bringing them nutrient solution, and transporting nutrients.

But the strange thing is, how can there be no slime and eggs at the bottom of this cracked cliff?

Li Nuo's original plan was to quietly kill a group of mutants, transform them into his own dead, and then manipulate them to reach the designated location and detonate them with "Evil Explosion", harvesting soul debris one after another.

Now, the plan has been put on hold due to an anomaly at the base of the cliff.

Li Nuo settled down and didn't panic at all.

He came near the square hole with obvious traces of man-made digging, threw a mind-controlled spider, and manipulated the little guy to explore the hole.

There should also be a lot of mucus carpets and distortions in caves like this that appear on the wall at the bottom of the cliff. But now, there is nothing here, the ground is smooth and flat, and there is no sticky mucus at all.

"It's really weird..." Li Nuo muttered to himself.

The mind-controlled spider walked through the long and narrow tunnel, and after about 3 minutes, a faint light radiated from the end of the tunnel.

This light was captured by Li Nuo who manipulated the mind-controlled spider.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, slowed down the walking speed of some mind-controlled spiders, and minimized the noise produced by the friction between the mechanical spider's legs and the ground.

When approaching the light, a weak mechanical sound came into the mind-controlled spider's radio array, which was heard by Li Nuo.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

This is the sound of metal pistons reciprocating.

"Puff~呵~, Puff~呵~…"

This is the regular exhaust of the air valve.

A half-covered metal gate appeared in front of the mind-controlling spider, and light shot out from the crack of the door, shining on the smooth wall. The regular mechanical rhythm also came from behind the door.

The mind-controlling spider moved to the edge of the door and took a look inside.

Li Nuo took a slight breath.

The bottom area of ​​this aberrant rift is not an aberrant lair!

He saw a huge underground space with a large number of glass culture tanks standing on the floor.

The mechanical sound he heard came from the ceiling. It was a culture tank transportation system composed of dozens of mechanical arms, steam pipes and metal slide rails.

The exhaust sound of "puff puff puff" is the movement made by the steam pipe driving the mechanical arm. The air valve on the pipeline dynamically adjusts the steam pressure in the pipeline to match the movement of the mechanical arm.

The piston sound of "cracking, chirping, chirping" is produced when the suspension device of the steam-driven mechanical arm moves quickly and stops suddenly on the metal slide rail.

Dozens of robotic arms are busy among a large number of culture tanks.

On the left wall of the underground space, there is a row of mechanical conveyor belts.

Culture tanks without contents are transported here on a conveyor belt. The robotic arm grabs them from the conveyor belt, moves them to the ground, and places them on the base of the empty culture tank.

The base of the culture tank will pump a light green liquid into the culture tank.

On the right wall of the underground space, there is also a row of mechanical conveyor belts.

When the culture tank is filled with liquid, the manipulator will pick up the culture tank from the floor and put it on the mechanical conveyor belt on the right wall.

Li Nuo had played a lot of "base building" games before crossing, and now he understood the meaning of this scene:

This is a mechanical workshop for automatic filling of culture tanks, using steam as the power source, and the filling operation is performed by mechanical arms, slide rails and other facilities.

Considering the number of machinery conveyor belts on the walls on both sides, other workshops connected to this machinery workshop may be of the same size.

"So...the aberrant lair I'm in now has been artificially transformed into a huge mechanical factory?"

Li Nuo raised his hand to press the top of his head, feeling happy for the scene he saw.

He is somewhat obsessive-compulsive in the matter of "base construction", and likes to arrange the building facilities neatly according to the grid lines.

Especially those facilities and conveyor belts with regular outlines, if they are not arranged neatly, Li Nuo always feels that there are ants crawling on his body, which is very uncomfortable.

Look at the rails and robotic arms on the ceiling, look at the neat arrangement of steam pipes, conveyor belts, and culture tanks.

The people who designed and built this mechanical workshop definitely have OCD.

Just a brief glance at the layout of the mechanical workshop, Li Nuo felt a feeling of "won my heart".

"Pa-ta, pa-ta..."

Footsteps were suddenly heard in the mechanical workshop.

Li Nuo hurriedly hid the mind control spider.

He used the magic vision provided by the mind-controlling spider to cast a mind beacon to the crack of the door, and used the "mind vision" to change his observation angle.

After some operations, he, who was at the bottom of the cracked cliff, saw the whole picture of the mechanical workshop, and successfully locked the figures walking in the workshop.

"It seems that three black bone hermits and a few alchemy servants are checking the base of the culture jar."

Li Nuo closed his "eyes" and concentrated on observing the machine workshop, staring closely at the figure in black robe.

After throwing out a series of deconstruction techniques, Li Nuo confirmed the identities of these people from the information fed back by the system.

It is indeed Blackbone Hermit, an illegal alchemist from Black City.

Among the three black-bone hermits, one is of the second rank, and the other two are of the first rank.

They each took two alchemy servants to inspect the base of the culture tank in the mechanical workshop.

Take out the wrench to tighten the screws on the base, take out the brush to clean the liquid outlet on the base, or take a rag to wipe off the accumulated water on the ground.

This group of people was completely immersed in their work, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was staring at them with mind magic.

Just when Li Nuo was thinking about whether to kill this group of people, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the corner of the workshop.

"Damn it! The life potion can't be taken back! Those imperial soldiers are really useless! They can be caught by the Sword of Gold Merchants flying in the air!"

The person who came came in a hurry, and his voice was so loud that it overwhelmed the mechanical noise in the workshop.

A black bone hermit who was turning the valve of the liquid pipeline walked up to the figure with a loud voice and asked:

"What's the situation? Master Tarudo?"

As soon as the black bone hermit named Tarudo stepped into the workshop, he yelled dissatisfiedly:

"What else could it be?! The damn gold merchant's sword stole our life potion! I checked it with the spiritual vision orb given by Lord Samuelson, and the group of gold merchant swords created a thunderstorm cloud. The people from MI5 turned into rubbish! They took away the intact life potion, leaving us only glass shards and black charcoal all over the place!"

The black bone hermit and alchemy servants in the workshop surrounded him when they heard the loud voice.

The louder Tarrudo talked more and more vigorously:

"Damn it! I'm so pissed off! How could the damn Gold Merchant's Sword know our transportation route! Those MI5 people are a bunch of idiots! Can't they fly higher?!"

A black-bone hermit couldn't stand the other party's noisy voice, so he interrupted and said:

"Master Tarudo! Have you found the whereabouts of the life potion?"

"It should be in the temporary camp of the Sword of the Gold Merchant!" Tarudo said with a loud voice:

"I used the Orb of Mind Vision to track the ruts on the scene. The ruts were covered up by the sand blown by the night wind, but I can confirm that the ruts are extending to the temporary camp of the Sword of the Gold Merchant! Our life potion, absolutely The Sword of the Gold Merchants was hidden in the camp by those sons of bitches!"

"What should I do?" The black bone hermits looked at each other, and someone asked:

"Have you asked Lord Samuelson? Do you want to mobilize a team of mutants to get back the life potion?"

Tarudo shook his arms and said:

"No! No! When I went to find Lord Samuelson, it still locked itself in the central chamber! It didn't even open the door! How could we mobilize the aberration without its help?! Use it at best The spiritual vision orb given by the old man to see the situation outside."

"Hey, this is troublesome"

"Yeah, without life potion, the distortions we spawned will drop a lot at once..."

The Black Bone Hermit talked a lot, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Tarudo waved his arm and ordered:

"Stop sticking around here! Go and reduce the operating efficiency of the workshop to 30%! Hurry up! There are only half of the life potions left in the nutrition library! Before the new life potions arrive, the operating efficiency must not be reduced to 30%! Increase to over 30%! Hear that? Do you want to see the pipes explode in here?!"

While talking, Tarudeau reached out and turned the metal valve on the base of the culture tank, manually reducing the flow rate of the liquid in the liquid pipe to 30% of the original.

When he passed the valve of the steam pipe on the wall, he turned the disc to reduce the flow of steam in the pipe.

The blackbone hermits and alchemy servants in the workshop spread out and began to adjust the liquid pipe valves on the base of each culture tank, not forgetting the steam valves on the walls.

When they did this, the operating efficiency of the entire workshop plummeted.

The culture tank, which used to take only 10 minutes to fill, now takes at least 30 minutes.

The mechanical arms and slide rails on the ceiling also slowed down, and they were no longer as busy as before.

Li Nuo looked at their figures thoughtfully, his mind spinning quickly.

Things went exactly as he had expected.

Samuelson is located in the central chamber, near the heart of the lair.

It was so busy there that it had no time to take care of things other than magic enlightenment.

The black bone hermits under it can only use spiritual magic props to observe the situation on the ground, and they can't even organize a team of deformed bodies.

This is the golden window period for Li Nuo's sabotage, and he must firmly grasp it.

Judging from the conversations between Tarudeau and others, the current workshop is related to the nutrition store. The so-called nutrient solution is the light green liquid filled into the culture tank. Its main material is the life potion.

Li Nuo took out the paper and pen from the Blood Na space, and quickly sketched the layout of the mechanical workshop in the dark.

In this layout drawing, he not only drew the orientation of the cultivation tank and other facilities.

He also used numbers and arrows on the steam pipes to mark the flow direction, velocity and temperature of the steam.

Similarly, parameters such as the liquid flow rate of the liquid delivery pipe connected to the base of the culture tank, the transport speed of the mechanical transport belt on the wall, etc., were also marked by him.

It's not a matter of interest.

As an experienced "base construction" player, Li Nuo knows very well what is the most deadly thing to the mechanical workshop.

The first is production material that shouldn't be in conveyor belts and pipes.

The other is abnormal operating parameters in the mechanical workshop.

The negative effects caused by the two can be large or small.

To put it bluntly, if clear water is mixed into the liquid pipes that are supposed to transport the nutrient solution, the cultivation effect of the cultivation tank will be greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, if what is transported in the liquid pipeline is not nutrient solution, but alcohol, strong acid, etc., then the things placed in the culture tank are very likely to be killed on the spot.

In the same way, if the liquid flow rate and steam flow rate in the mechanical workshop are abnormal, the liquid will overflow and the steam will spray randomly, and the severe one will explode with a "bang", destroying most of the mechanical workshop in one fell swoop.

Li Nuo suddenly realized at this moment that if he wanted to wipe out this lair that had been artificially transformed into a machinery factory, he might not need to confront the enemy head-on.

He only needs to figure out the layout and operating parameters of the machinery factory, and concentrate on attacking a few key parts to paralyze the entire machinery factory.

If the strategy is used correctly, he may be able to kill a large number of enemies in one fell swoop, leaving full of vitality and soul fragments.

All this is based on one prerequisite:

He wants to fully understand all the details of the machinery factory.

Li Nuo turned the magic field of vision of "Mind Vision" and pointed the camera at the entrance of the corridor in the corner of the mechanical workshop.

He casts a new spiritual beacon, and uses it as the target of the spell, and casts a new "spiritual vision" to realize the vision jump.

At present, he can only perform three visual field jumps, and the number of times is extremely limited, which is not conducive to scouting the huge machinery factory.

Li Nuo decisively called up the spell list of "Spiritual Vision", and invested 1450 energy points.

【system information:】

[You have consumed 1450 energy points. 】

[The level of "spiritual vision" +10, is now level 20. 】

[The number of visual field jumps of "Mind Vision" +10, now it is 13 times. 】

[The level of "Mind Vision" has broken through to level 20, and you have triggered the upgrade reward. 】

[Please choose one of the following three options:]

【Option 1:】

[The visual range of "Spiritual Vision" +100%, increased to 72.5% of the real visual range of the cast target. 】

【Option 2:】

[The "Vision Jump" feature is enhanced, the number of jumps +10, increased from 13 to 23. 】

【Option 3:】

["Spiritual Vision" has added the feature of "energy-saving spellcasting", which reduces the consumption of spellcasting by 50%. 】

"I choose option two. " Li Nuo silently read.

The spell panel of "Mind Vision" was refreshed accordingly, and the number of vision jumps increased to 23 times.

Unless the entire machinery factory is as complicated as a maze, with the help of 23 jumps, Li Nuo will definitely be able to figure out the layout of the machinery factory.

The only thing to watch out for is avoiding the Samuelson, and the central chamber it's in.

As a psychic wizard, this guy is not sure that he has any means to counter the "spiritual vision".

Li Nuo looked around, his eyes sweeping over the wall at the bottom of the cliff.

There are a total of six man-made caves here, and the one he explored just now is just one of them.

Li Nuo took out another 11 mind-controlled spiders and manipulated them into the remaining five burrows.

Thanks to the "Joint Action" feature of "Psychic Beacon", when he controlled multiple mind-controlled spiders, he did not appear to be in a hurry.

These mind-controlling spiders act like Li Nuo's fingers, flexible, fast and silent.

He found time to try it in the alchemy room. As long as the mind-controlled spiders controlled at the same time do not exceed the limit of 12 in "Joint Action", there will be no operational errors.

When Samuelson couldn't get away, the entire aberrant lair undoubtedly entered a state without a "monitoring system".

As long as Li Nuo is careful enough, there are a total of 12 mind-controlling spiders before and after, and the "spiritual vision" with a jump count of up to 23 times can definitely explore the nest.

"Mind Vision" is responsible for exploring the way, and the mind-controlled spider performs simple operations, trying to turn the valve, open the gate, etc., to prepare for Li Nuo's subsequent infiltration.

There is one more chapter to come!
