Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 317 317. The Demonic Shadow Stabs

Li Nuo raised his eyes and looked at the city of exile covered by stalagmites.

After losing three eight-ring combat wizards in a row, the upper city of Exile City must be unable to sit still.

Will the enemies that are about to appear below be of the ninth or even tenth ring?

Li Nuo thought this was the case before.

But now, he could only shake his head and deny this speculation.

After deconstructing the two men, Li Nuo discovered some interesting things from their memory fragments.

[Memory fragment five: "The process of receiving distinguished guests in the city of exile", completeness 30%]

This memory fragment is missing 70% of the content, mainly mosaic images related to "bloody" and "filthy".

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"—Guimat, the chief lecturer of the Soul Shaping Society.

Of course, the professor only sent his magic clone and a group of students.

He himself is still in the sub-plane of the Soul Shaping Society.

The men in black robes that Hinton saw were the death wizards of the Soul Shaping Society.

The things that the Soul Shaping Association and the city lord of the exiled city are planning are destined to make them unable to escape from the city now, and they can only continue to send the chief city-protecting wizard of the Eight Rings to die.

As for what they are planning...

Well…

This this.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Li Nuo did not find this in the results of deconstruction.

It seems that only a shadow wizard at the level of the deputy city lord of the city of exile can know the answer.

"I wonder if I have a chance to deconstruct the deputy city lord of the city of exile..."

Li Nuo thought to himself.

His gains so far have been amazing.

On the one hand, there are more than 30 prop drawings and spell blueprints involving the knowledge of shadow magic.

On the other hand, the distribution map of shadow magic material resources, the location of the magic treasure house and other information mastered by the Gigamodo trio have all been recorded in Li Nuo's mind.

Mao estimated that after digging out the treasure house and resource points, Li Nuo would have 1.5 billion points of shadow energy and about 3,000 cubic meters of shadow magic materials.

All these magic materials can be used to strengthen the "Shadow Cloak".

Coincidentally, the spell blueprint that Li Nuo obtained included "Shadow Cloak".

Just waiting to gather the materials and carve out the magic circle to create the "shadow cloak", Li Nuo can possess this life-saving artifact.

It is a pity that Li Nuo is temporarily unable to absorb shadow energy in large quantities...

The meditation method of the dark dead - "Shadow Extraction", is only suitable for spirit creatures.

As a flesh and blood creature, Li Nuo cannot learn the meditation method of the dark dead.

Using the "Calm Breathing Technique" in conjunction with the magic organs is currently the only method Li Nuo can use to absorb and store shadow energy.

"Go and settle that boy Hinton first..."

Li Nuo used "Death Flight" and rushed towards Hinton's direction.

Along the way, Li Nuo gave several orders to Nolin.

First, use the capacitor pack machine spirit enchanted with "Psychic Illusion" to kill all the Dark Death Oversighters.

Second, there is no need to protect the Dark Death Peons, nor to actively attack them. But if the secret workers are close to the temporary base, they will be expelled when they need to be expelled and killed when they need to be killed.

Third, try not to attack the shadow magic barrier that has not yet been built.

Li Nuo found the magic circle blueprints and necessary knowledge to build the shadow magic barrier among the decomposition results and trophies of the three of Perifa.

However, the main materials for building this magic barrier - the drum of the shadow bun, the spine of the shadow earth dragon, dried eyeball powder and brain juice, etc., are priceless and are only available in the upper city area. .

If Norin 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.

Norin completely obeyed Li Nuo's orders.

She used flying mechanical spirits to lure the Dark Death workers away from the construction site of the magic barrier, and then defeated them one by one in the stalagmite forest.

Part of the capacitor packs the mechanical spirit, hovering on the ceiling, projecting lightning beams downwards, creating a lightning barrier that blocks the Dark Death's laborers.

Any slave laborers who fled towards the temporary base would have their way blocked by lightning barriers.

There are many Dark Death slaves who want to seek asylum from the rumored "Thunder Wizard".

They rushed towards the lightning barrier, thinking that they would get the treatment they deserved.

But unfortunately, although Li Nuo is not a stone-hearted person, he is not a virgin in troubled times either.

All Dark Death workers who come into contact with the lightning barrier will, without exception, be electrified to the point of smoking.

They exploded with a loud bang, turning into shards of shadow.

And these fragments quickly flew back to the city of exile under the guidance of the magic circle in the city.

It won't be long before the dark slaves who were shattered by the lightning barrier will be reborn and face the fate of being enslaved again.

With these wrong examples first, the rest of the Dark Death slaves will be wiser.

Some of them retraced their steps and took the initiative to return to the city of exile, praying for mercy and kindness in the upper city of the city of exile with pathological loyalty and submission.

Another part of the dark dead laborers was inspired to survive deep in their hearts.

They either walked alone or went on the road together, staying far away from the lightning barrier and looking for a path to the ground in the stalagmite forest.

Between the Underdark and the ground is a hard mass called a slate layer.

So besides the "slate layer walking technique", is there any other way to return to the surface from the dark zone?

Yes, and more than one.

Method one is to use teleportation.

This is a luxury for the slave laborers who are fleeing for their lives.

The second method is to use artificial channels.

The legal artificial passage is at Balder's Gate.

There is a large underground building called the "Dark Shaft", which leads directly to the dark zone from the ground along a spiral staircase.

——The Gate of Balder on the ground has built an underground city in the dark area directly below it. The "bridge" connecting the two is the "Dark Shaft".

Li Nuo didn't know where the illegal artificial passages were. They were usually dug privately in the wilderness by illegal wizards involved in the smuggling trade.

Balder's Gate is 900 kilometers west of Stalagmite Grove…

The slave laborers of the Dark Death don’t have to eat, drink, or defecate. As long as they carefully avoid the shadow monsters, it’s still possible to get there...

For these hard workers, Li Nuo could only wish them good luck.

As for Hinton, well, Li Nuo plans to send him good luck.

In the southwest corner of the temporary base, about 30 kilometers away.

Li Nuo saw Hinton who had fled.

The "constant suspension" characteristic of spiritual creatures allows Hinton to easily cope with complex terrain.

However, the lack of energy and the weakness of his soul after multiple rebirths tightly suppressed his floating speed.

When Li Nuo chased him, he did not conceal the energy fluctuations of "Death Flight" at all.

Hinton clearly sensed the approaching death energy, and he suddenly thought of the black-robed man he had seen in the city.

Those men in black robes also have traces of death energy!

The death wizard who is chasing him is probably the man in black robe in the city.

Hinton's heart was suddenly filled with the pessimistic thought that he was going to finish playing.

Seeing that the opponent's flying speed was much faster than his own, Hinton directly found a place to hide himself.

In front of him, there are still many dark slave laborers fleeing.

Hinton can only pray that the death wizard behind him will chase other dark death workers.

A voice appeared in Hinton's mind, causing his body to tremble violently.

"Listen to what I say..."

Along with the words in his mind, a magic scroll and a teleportation crystal slowly floated in front of Hinton.

"This is a "Magic Scroll of Slate Layer Travel". The teleportation crystal next to it points to the Star City in the Unas Ring. Now, get out of here. "

Hinton stared blankly at the scrolls and crystals in front of him, the joy of being about to escape welling up in his heart.

He stretched out his trembling hands and caught the scroll and crystal, his eyes filled with excitement.

After a brief trance, Hinton suddenly remembered Elodie in the city.

He stood up with the magic scroll and crystal, walked out of the bunker, and looked at the death wizard who was about to leave:

"Wait a minute, Your Excellency, one of my companions was kidnapped. Her name is Elodie. You can..."

Before Hinton could finish his words, the other party used "Death Flight" and flew away without saying a word.

Hinton froze in place, holding the scroll in his hand.

After much hesitation, he tore it open, turning into earthy brown light and drilling into the ceiling above his head...

Li Nuo looked back at the flash of earthy brown light on the ceiling and chuckled in his heart.

"Please, it's none of my business whether Elodie is caught or not. It's you who should save her, not me. What are you shouting at me?"

Li Nuo shook his head slightly and sighed, returning to his own business.

"Aren't the city lords and deputy city lords in the upper city hanging out with the people from the Soul Shaping Association and very busy?

"Okay, okay, then I will switch from positional warfare to guerrilla warfare, pull the enemy's front line apart, force the enemy to increase strategic depth, and invest more members of the security regiment to search for my whereabouts."

"After two to three days of continuous harassment, City Lord Soler will have to send a deputy city lord with nine-ring strength out of the city to search for enemies in order to eliminate external hidden dangers.

"At that time, I will be able to deconstruct the deputy city lord and figure out what the city lord Soller and the people of the Soul Shaping Association are doing.

"As long as I find the right opportunity and apply the right medicine, I should still be able to break into the city of exile and loot the city's supplies."

…

…

City of Exile at the same time.

After more than 6,000 dead laborers left Xiacheng District, Xiacheng District became silent, with only members of the vigilance group guarding the city patrolling the city walls.

Looking up at the inverted triangular building above me, the upper town fixed to the ceiling remains 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 pry into its secrets.

At the top of this inverted triangular building, there is a magic hall with a vertical height of more than thirty meters.

The Soul Shaping Society cast some kind of detection spell on the Dark Death Peons before they left the city, and captured some of the Peons who had white lights coming out of their bodies.

Now, all the captured peons appeared in the magic hall.

The magic hook lock that can block the flow of energy in the body penetrated their shoulder blades and necks.

Like cattle and sheep, they were suspended from the ceiling of the hall by magic hooks.

Several chains densely covered with death runes penetrated their heads, chests, waists and abdomens from front to back, connecting them all together and forming a circle around the magic circle on the floor.

There is no doubt that this is a magical ritual involving many elements such as "pain", "torture", and "spiritual creatures".

The slave laborers trapped in rune chains and magic hooks are the victims of this ritual.

The ones who brought disaster to them were the wizards standing around the magic circle.

Jimat, the chief lecturer of the Soul Shaping Association, sent his magic clone and seven six-ring soul shaping wizards to assist Soller, the city lord in exile.

The terrifying ritual scene in front of you is the work of the soul-shaping wizards.

Soul-shaping wizards uniformly wear airtight black magic robes, masks and hoods.

The Lord of the Exiled City, Mobes Soller, wore a robe with ribbons and exquisite buckles, and a metal ring with a forward magic gem on his head.

He is a pale, shadowy ghost.

While the soul-shaping wizards were perfecting the magic circle, he dragged the hem of his long magic robe and wandered around in the air, looking slightly restless.

"How long?" Soller asked the soul-shaping wizards below in a hoarse voice.

"At least six days." Jimatt's magic clone gave a short answer.

Soler was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

But considering that his attainments in the field of death magic were far inferior to those of the other party, he could only endure it.

But soon, Soller's attitude changed due to the report from the vigilance group.

Several members of the security group responsible for communicating with outside the city brought unknown information.

The whereabouts of the three chief city-protecting wizards who went out of the city to find out the reality of the enemy are unknown.

The group of secret laborers and supervisors responsible for building the magic barrier suffered heavy casualties and broke out.

You don't need to think too much to know that this must be the work of those lightning wizards.

But the question is, who are they?

"Speed ​​up the progress, Jimat! At any cost!" Soller said impatiently:

"I have a hunch that the enemies outside the city are here for our ceremony!"

"At all costs?" Jimatt didn't show his true face and chuckled darkly:

"As long as you can provide more sacrifices, I can naturally speed up the progress. Sacrificing one deputy city lord will speed up the process by three days. Sacrifice two, and we can start the ceremony now. When the time comes, you can immediately feel the 'reproduction' ' desire. When the ceremony is over, you will have the power of 'reproduction'."

Hearing the word "reproduction", Soller's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

"How to reproduce as a spirit body" has always been a problem that troubles all spirit creatures.

Soller, as the local leader of the Dark Dead, is no exception.

He dreamed of allowing his Dark Dead to "give birth" to more Dark Dead without having to rob human slaves.

In fact, Soller and the City of Exile were born to achieve the goal of "spiritual reproduction", and their first task is to study this magical topic.

Soler's collaborator is the Soul Shaping Society, which has extremely high attainments in the field of spiritual bodies.

Because the magic ritual that helps spirits possess the ability to reproduce is somewhat dangerous, the Magic Kingdom of the Dark Dead deliberately moved the experiment location to the dark zone of Cahir Continent.

Even if the magic ritual causes irreversible disaster, it will only be the people of Cahir Continent who suffer.

Soller spent more than ten years building and maintaining the city of exile, collecting experimental materials, and optimizing the experimental process.

How could he give up his lifelong pursuit because of the "Thunder Wizard" outside the city.

"Wait here."

Soller dropped a cold word, turned around and flew out of the window of the magic hall.

Within three minutes after he left, fierce shadow energy swept through the upper city. Many magic walls were violently destroyed, and roars and curses resounded throughout the city.

The members of the vigilance group in the lower city stared dumbfoundedly at the uptown area where shadow explosions appeared one after another.

Walls collapsed and boulders fell from the sky, smashing houses in the lower city.

The huge shadow hydra stretched out from the breach in the wall in the upper city, drew an arc in the air, and then smashed through another wall with a bang and penetrated into it.

Sharp snake sounds and explosions bloomed inside the uptown area.

Various shadow monsters were summoned, and terrifying shadow fireballs erupted from the inside out, directly destroying a small part of the city.

"What happened uptown?!"

The members of the security group in Xiacheng District screamed and looked at each other in shock.

As they watched, a huge demonic figure like a low mountain appeared on the outskirts of the swaying upper city.

This demonic figure has horns on its head and black eyes. Although it only condenses its upper body, it is full of evil energy and makes people shudder.

It raised its hands, condensing surging shadow flames in its palms, and the flames further evolved into two shadow scimitars.

"Hu~hu~"

Two shadow scimitars that were a hundred meters long swept across the upper city, leaving huge cracks visible to the naked eye on the wall.

The shadow energy was like a flame, burning on the cracks and quickly burning through the upper city.

"Run!!! Uptown is going to fall!!"

I saw that the inverted triangular upper city area was cut in half by the huge demonic shadow. The lower part disintegrated and cracked, and quickly turned into countless flying rocks falling down, forming a sand and stone waterfall in the air.

The huge demonic shadow swung its knife several times again, cutting off more and more urban areas. Finally, the two knives intertwined and thrust into the city hanging on the ceiling, triggering a huge wave of shadows.

"Boom~~~~"

In the entire upper city area, except for the magic hall on the top floor, which was protected by an unbreakable magic barrier, all other areas were chopped into pieces by the double swords of the giant demonic shadow.

This earth-shattering change that occurred in the City of Exile caused energy fluctuations covering the entire Yinfeng Plain.

The "tracking marker" placed by Li Nuo at the junction of the stalagmite forest and the Yinfeng Plain accurately captured the extraordinary energy changes.

He threw out his "Psychic Sight" and glanced at the city of exile surrounded by sand and stones from a distance. He was dumbfounded on the spot:

"Ah... what are you doing? Who is attacking the city of exile? How can I loot the treasures inside if the city is destroyed like this?!"

Just when Li Nuo was complaining, a very familiar voice that he hadn't heard for a long time got into his mind.

"Beep————shushashasha"

"Beep----"

"Waibiba porphyra beep porphyry——"

"Beep----"

Li Nuo's expression changed, and his expression was extremely solemn:

"Alien space noise? Appearing here?"
