Chapter 69 69. Black Hook

In this dusk dream, Li Nuo didn't have to pant, didn't expend energy, and didn't feel tired after "running" for a long time.

A full 20 hours passed before he could reach the mountains at the foot of the figure. Such a long journey far exceeded his imagination.

Along the way, he discovered three incredible things.

First:

The slender thing hanging the figure in the air is not the "lasso" Li Nuo imagined.

To be precise, this thing is not wrapped around the figure's neck, it is actually a pure black hook.

Li Nuo couldn't see its material clearly, but he was sure that the black hook, which was as curved as a crescent moon, pierced the figure's chin, pierced out from the top of the head, and pierced the figure's head from bottom to top.

All the weight of the figure is exerted on the hook, and there are no other points of strength throughout the body.

If the figure is still alive, it must be in great pain at all times.

And this is the second incredible thing Li Nuo discovered!

The figure had no clothes on his body. His muscles were withered, his skin was gray, and the dried blood spread from his head to his whole body like a dark red river.

The hook penetrated the lower jaw, the skin was torn open, and the wound was rolled back, revealing dark red rotten flesh and blood clots.

His face was distorted with pain, and his eyes were white, like dead fish eyes.

But even so, this figure is not completely dead.

Every hour, his head would twist, as if he was trying to break free from the hook.

Whenever he moves, the hook hooking his head will shake slightly, which will intensify his pain.

The roar that resounded throughout the world was his cry of grief and pain.

Li Nuo heard about 20 screams along the way.

As the distance between him and the human figure gradually shortened, every scream he heard would be more powerful and tragic than the previous one.

The last time I heard screams was 50 minutes ago. In another ten minutes, the figure was about to look up to the sky and cry out in pain.

Li Nuo was not in a hurry at this time.

He stopped, hid behind a rock, and stuck his pale golden body into the crack of the rock to fix it.

This approach is related to the third thing.

When that figure screams, it will set off an extremely powerful gust of wind.

Li Nuo's body in the dream was a pale golden ball of light.

He can feel the sun and wind passing through his body, and will also receive weak tactile feedback when touching flowers, plants, trees and rocks.

Such a strange ball of light is very light.

The strong wind that was blown up when the figure screamed was enough to pick him up and throw him away from the figure.

So before the figure screams in grief, he must find a shelter to avoid the coming strong wind.

This is the lesson Li Nuo learned after repeatedly experiencing mourning several times.

However, this time the cry was very different.

The figure hanging in the air was directly above Li Nuo's head.

After Li Nuo hid in the crack of the stone, he looked up at the figure high up and silently calculated the time for the next mournful cry through the temporary effect countdown on his personal panel.

After counting silently for 30 seconds, the figure began to scream on time.

His head turned, and his gray-white eyes scanned the ground, seemingly discovering the pale golden ball of light under his feet.

Li Nuo immediately felt the figure's gaze - numb with a little hope, as if praying for help and salvation.

The figure slightly opened its chapped lips, and screamed as expected.

A strong wind blew from high in the sky, causing the surrounding trees to roar and dust to fly all over the sky.

Li Nuo quickly burrowed into the cracks in the rocks, preparing to survive the scream and take off vertically.

Unexpectedly, in the howling wind, he heard an unusual noise that he had never heard before.

"Pfft!"

It was like a sharp instrument piercing flesh and blood, or like blood scab falling off the wound. The sound was very weak in the strong wind, but it was not difficult to distinguish.

Li Nuo looked up and saw the figure vomiting out a ball of black blood.

As soon as the dirty blood left the body, it was blown away by the strong wind and turned into countless dark blood droplets, falling in all directions.

And that strange sound was made when the black hook stretched and retracted after the figure spit out dirty blood, and pierced the figure's head again.

"The figure must have seen me. He seems to want me to help him get out of trouble. Then why did he suddenly vomit blood? This has not happened several times before when he screamed."

Li Nuo began to think in the wind that gradually subsided:

"Is there something hidden in the dirty blood that was blown away by the wind to help him get out of trouble? It's possible. Maybe the black hook pierced the skull again to punish the figure who tried to save himself."

Li Nuo looked at the corner of the horizon, where the black blood drops closest to him were falling.

Now there are only less than 4 hours of dream time left.

His original plan was to try to take off after reaching the mountain range directly below the figure, touch the figure's feet as quickly as possible and via the shortest route, and then explore ways to passively deconstruct the figure.

Now, he has a new plan, which is to see what the black blood drops are.

This plan is safer than the original one.

Because during the vertical climb, he had no place to hide from the strong wind.

If the figure's feet cannot be reached within an hour, he will probably be blown away, causing all the efforts of the past twenty hours to be in vain.

From a safety perspective, it would be safer to look for black blood drops.

But if the black blood droplets have no deconstructive value, then Li Nuo's trip will be in vain and will be delayed for several hours.

Li Nuo weighed it for a while and decided to go and see the situation of the black blood drops first.

After the strong wind completely subsided, he emerged from the crack in the stone, floated to a height of ten meters, and identified the exact landing point of the black blood droplets.

The good news is that the black blood droplets seem to be highly corrosive.

After they landed, they reacted violently with the plants on the ground, and black smoke pillars rose up, which just pointed the direction for Li Nuo.

Li Nuo didn't hesitate and flew directly to the nearest black blood drop.

The forested mountains are full of green shade and covered with fallen leaves.

The fresh air is often mixed with the musty smell emitted by rotting leaves.

Li Nuo has adapted to this smell.

But when he flew toward the black blood droplets, a fishy smell that was clearly different from that of rotting leaves penetrated his "nostrils" along with the breeze in the forest.

Li Nuo couldn't help but slow down his flying speed and became vigilant.

At this moment, the system sent a message:

[Attention! You are affected by unknown things and gain a negative effect with an unknown name. 】

To be on the safe side, figure out the negative effects first, and don’t be too stingy with your energy value.

Li Nuo used his mind to select "Negative Effects of Unknown Names" and deconstructed it silently.

[System message: You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on the "negative effect of an unknown name".]

[It is expected to consume 3 energy points to achieve 100% deconstruction completion. 】

【Are you sure to proceed with deconstruction? 】

Li Nuo said silently in his heart:

"Confirm for deconstruction."

A brief sense of trance passed through my mind, and the system message came again:

【Deconstruction successful!】

[You have obtained the panel information of this negative effect:]

【Name】Soul Corruption

[Level] Level 1

[Type] Death magic effect

【Effect】

When affected by this effect, your "Spirit" attribute value will be temporarily reduced by 1 point every 1 minute.

When the "Spirit" attribute value returns to zero, you will lose 0.1 points of soul strength every 1 minute.

【illustrate】

1. Your "Spirit" is 15 points, and your soul strength is 1.2.

When the soul strength is lower than 1 point, you will randomly lose skills, knowledge or memory. The lower the soul strength, the more serious the consequences.

Theoretically, you can stay in "Soul Corruption" for up to 26 minutes.

2. "Soul Shield" can effectively inhibit "Soul Corruption". After activating "Soul Shield", you will not be affected by "Soul Corruption" temporarily.

3. After you leave the scope of "Soul Corruption", the temporarily reduced "Spirit" will be restored.

4. After you leave the Twilight Dream, your lost soul strength will be restored, but the skills, memory and knowledge you lost because your soul strength was lower than 1 point will not be restored.

…

Li Nuo raised his head and glanced at the dim blood spots on the figure.

"It seems that there is still a lot of this kind of dirty blood that can cause negative magical effects on the figure. I have to be more careful. Speaking of which, is the hook that pierces the figure's head a kind of death-type magic creation?"

Li Nuo was thinking while flying quickly, aiming directly at the root of the black smoke column.

After a while, he saw the drop of black dirty blood.

A large forest withered due to the arrival of blood.

The leaves are scorched and yellow, the rotten leaves decompose into waste residue, the trees are withered and decayed, and the air is filled with a strong rotten smell.

The drop of dirty blood that was the initiator was originally the size of an adult man, but now it has turned into a small puddle one meter square.

The dirty blood in the pool was as black as ink, the liquid was viscous, and a large number of tiny bubbles appeared on the surface.

When the bubbles burst, wisps of yellow-green smoke were transported into the air, tarnishing the purity and tranquility of the woodland.

"Yellow-green smoke..."

Li Nuo's eyes became profound.

He thought of the poisonous fog in Tomb No. 1079.

The putrid mist emitted by the undead creatures was exactly the same as the smoke emitted by the dirty blood in front of me.

besides.

The figure in the sky is obviously not a human being, but more like a giant or a god.

Assume he is some kind of giant creature.

Then isn't his relationship with the Tainted Blood similar to the relationship between the "Imperial Fist" and the Necronomicon?

He is a giant.

"Imperial Fist" is also a giant, but it is an artificially created biochemical giant.

The negative effect of Tainted Blood, "Soul Corruption", is a death-like magic effect, and the Necromantic Cult is also a hostile force related to death spells.

Whether in this twilight dream or in reality, there is a clear antagonistic relationship between giants and death magic.

Thoughts surged in Li Nuo's mind.

For a moment, it was difficult for him to judge the connection between reality and the twilight dream.

If we assume that the hostile relationship between the biochemical giants and the Necromancer Cult occurred in reality first, then the twilight dream appeared.

So the so-called twilight dream is a portrayal of reality.

But if we assume that there is a twilight dream first, and then there is a conflict between the biochemical giant and the Necromantic Cult.

Then, the scene in reality where biochemical giants are hostile to the undead is the result of dusk dreams interfering with reality.

Which comes first, reality or twilight dreams, is very important.

Because, Li Nuo always felt that it was no accident that the empire developed biochemical giants.

Judging from the knowledge of Tatis history possessed by the original owner:

The Gutatis Dynasty is a typical feudal dynasty. There are no extraordinary people, no extraordinary routes, and no one has mastered extraordinary power.

However, all this changed drastically when the emperor overthrew the rule of the ancient dynasty as a criminal soldier.

The biochemical giant "Imperial Fist" is an extraordinary line created by the current emperor when he overthrew the old dynasty and established the empire.

In the history of Tatis, the Necromancer sect infiltrated the royal family of the ancient Tatis dynasty and secretly planned an evil plan to sacrifice the entire dynasty's subjects.

Emperor Tatis is the hero who saw through the Necronomicon's conspiracy, stopped the evil plan, and overthrew the evil dynasty.

If Li Nuo had not seen the Twilight Dream, he would definitely have faith in Tatis's historical knowledge and believed that the biochemical giant was independently developed by the empire.

But now...

He saw the twilight dream.

A new idea quickly formed in his mind:

Emperor Tatis was inspired by the twilight dream to develop the "Imperial Fists" in reality.

His purpose is to use the technological power of biochemical mutation to recreate the giant in the dusk dream.

The evil force of the Necromantic Cult may have also discovered twilight dreams or other things that can bring extraordinary power, and then mastered death magic.

The origin of extraordinary power has always been a topic that no one in the empire dared to discuss.

It is profound, obscure, mysterious, full of uncertainties and crises, and is very likely to lead people to fall into the Necronomicon.

The original owner of Li Nuo's body didn't know much about this aspect.

The professors at City College are all like this too - at least on the surface.

But now it seems that the twilight dream, this realistic and strange dream, is absolutely inseparable from the appearance of the biochemical giant "Imperial Fist".

Li Nuo stared at the dark pool for a long time and gradually came back to his senses.

He picked up a handful of branches and threw them into the pool.

As soon as the branches came into contact with the water, billowing smoke erupted.

In just half a minute, the branches were completely corroded by the blood in the pool, leaving only some residue floating on the water.

"It seems that there is nothing special about this pool of dirty blood, except that it is extremely corrosive and releases "soul corruption."

Li Nuo was slightly disappointed and turned to leave.

At this moment, a series of bubbles emerged from the black dirty blood, the blood rolled, and something that was being corroded rapidly floated up from the bottom of the water.

Li Nuo stopped and looked back.

The thing floating on the water was bright red, like a fresh blood clot, and seemed to be wrapped in a blood clot.

Li Nuo raised his non-existent eyebrows and unleashed the deconstruction technique.

[System message: You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on the "Extraordinary Characteristics of Unknown Name". It is expected to consume 30 points of energy to deconstruct this prop 100%. 】

"Extraordinary characteristics! The figure in the sky spit out a lot of extraordinary characteristics!?"

Li Nuo was slightly stunned and hurriedly ran towards the pool.
