Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 165: Strange Taste

"Such windy and sandy weather is very conducive to hiding, and the same is true for us. It is too easy to break through the outer defense line and sneak into the castle." Li sighed and said, "If it could always be this simple."

"Li, are you going to waste our limited time on delusion?" Elizabeth's urging came from the communicator, "Don't stop, keep moving forward."

"Yes, sir."

The two jumped off the wall and slowly explored in the direction of the castle.

Li and Rosina easily found the weak point of the outer defense line, and then quietly opened a small hole, and then drilled into it like a clever fish, without causing a ripple. Although the soldiers of the Storm Commando are the elite of the empire, even the elite soldiers cannot maintain their high fighting spirit for a long time in the face of non-existent enemies. Almost all the soldiers relaxed their vigilance in the cruel environment of wind and sand and the idea that "there is no enemy at all". When this riddled defense line faces stealth masters like Li and Rosina, its existence is the same as its absence.

Li and Rosina quickly found a safe road and carefully left marks along the way. About five minutes behind them, Elizabeth and Silufu were walking along the road that Li had walked.

After a while, Li and Rosina arrived in front of the castle.

This is an enclosed castle. Standing at the bottom of the castle and looking up, you can't see the top of the castle at all. The smooth stone walls of the castle continue to rise until they sink into the depths of the red sand.

Li emerged from the void, twisted his neck, shook his arms and legs, and asked Rosina after stretching his arms and legs: "Is it okay? We're going up."

"Through the window?" Rosina said seriously: "To be honest, personally, I prefer to go through the main entrance."

"Generally speaking, there are scanners and "large bird fortune tellers" at the main entrance, not to mention that this is the base of the Tribunal. There are no such detective facilities outside due to environmental reasons. Although the clothes I wear can distort light, they can't avoid those special detection tools."

"Me too, but I Can't we just charge in directly?"

"If the intelligence is correct, there should be a whole company of soldiers in here. Do you think there is only a small house behind this wall?"

"Is it a big city like the one in the Ark?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you Eldar people, but the area inside is not small. If we spend all our efforts on fighting, we will probably miss the people we want to rescue."

"In that case, what are you waiting for?" Rosina said, and a faint blue spiritual light appeared in her hand. Li understood that this was the effect of her concentrating spiritual energy on her palm.

Rosina gently placed her hand under the smooth wall. The spiritual energy produced a special effect. Her hand was like a suction cup, tightly attached to the wall of the castle. After she fixed her hands firmly on the wall, Rosina's knees and feet lit up the blue light one by one. In the blink of an eye, Rosina was like a spider, firmly attached to the wall, and climbed up smoothly and quickly. In a few breaths, she quickly disappeared into the red sand.

Rosina used an advanced application of psychic energy, gathering huge psychic energy into violent power, and releasing it to attack the enemy instantly. It was not too difficult for psychics, but it was difficult to use psychic energy.

"The speed is quite fast." While saying this, Li clenched his fists, and a pair of sharp claws popped out of the claws. Li stabbed the wall with his claws, just like stabbing into tofu. The claws pierced deeply into the wall without making a sound. At the same time, he exerted force on his feet, kicked hard, and retracted the claws. The whole person flew up like a cannonball for a distance. Then the claws popped out again, stabbed into the wall fiercely, and kicked again.

Both of them flew up at a very fast speed. After about a hundred meters, they separated. Li continued to go up, while Rosina began to move horizontally quickly.

Almost without language, the two of them tacitly divided the work. Before entering the castle, the two of them had to determine the general shape of the castle and the "entry point" for safe entry and exit.

About half an hour later, the two confirmed the general appearance and condition of the castle based on the actual situation they saw. After comparing with Elizabeth's intelligence, Li chose a window as the entry point, and then roughly laid down three exits.

The information was quickly transmitted to Elizabeth's terminal in the back, and at this time, Li had already arrived in front of the window.

It seemed that no one had entered the room for a long time. There was a thin layer of dust on the floor. The two sides of the room were filled with wooden barrels, mops, brooms and other sundries. It seemed that this should be a utility room for cleaners, and the castle seemed to have not hired cleaners for a long time. No one had visited this room for a long time.

Just slightly adjusting the posture of the body, Li squatted outside the window. He slightly adjusted the whole set, clenched his fist, and then a claw popped out.

Li carefully inserted his claws into the edge of the glass, and then quickly began to cut. Almost in the blink of an eye, Li easily removed a piece of glass from the window. With just a twist, Li's body slid from the window into the corner of the room like a boneless snake, and rolled to the center of the room. There was no sound during the action.

Li adjusted his breathing, waited for a while, and made sure that there was no situation around. Li tiptoed and moved to the door like a ghost. He tilted his ears, held his breath, and listened to the movement outside the door.

For a long time, there was no sound outside the room.

The next moment, the light outside the window suddenly twisted, and a transparent shadow suddenly rushed into the room at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to detect. At the same time, Li's claws suddenly stretched out and grabbed the translucent shadow. A knife light suddenly flashed and blocked the claws. In the moment before the knife and claws intersected, Li suddenly retracted the attack, and his whole body jumped back like a monkey.

"Why are you so nervous? Li, don't be too scared, it's me." Rosina smiled and appeared from the void.

"Please don't rush behind me suddenly. If it's a real enemy, I won't be so nervous."

"Human, since you asked me to help you, but you don't trust me?"

"No, I just want to keep a safe distance from you. Speaking of trust, isn't it the same for you?"

"Ha, how can this be compared? I can never completely trust a human, especially when there is a terrifying darkness in this human's body that ordinary people can't imagine."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Li didn't understand why this elf suddenly became like this. The elf's fickleness has long been famous, but he didn't expect to see it in this situation. Li has begun to regret recruiting the elf here.

Fortunately, Li is not only a person who has inherited the heritage of the Eldar people, he was also a person who grew up with oriental education. He understands the oriental style of speaking and evading the Eldar people. Fortunately, Li is good at dealing with this situation. He spread his hands, sighed, and said innocently: "Rosina? What happened? If you have any ideas, you can tell me at any time. We should communicate."

"Oh? Really? Tell you? Don't you know?"

"I think there is some misunderstanding between us?"

"Li, I don't believe you can't feel the taste here, floating The decayed, vicious, extremely corrosive, and disgusting evil breath moving in the psychic energy. Li, did you really lead us to this place to save your daughter? Is this place really one of the secret bases of the Inquisition? "

"Uh," Li could only say slowly: "To be honest, I really didn't notice it. "As a warrior, Li is more accustomed to using his body, weapons and skills to fight. He can hear the most subtle movements and respond to the most violent and vicious attacks, but for psychic energy, what he does most is to use the Tao to restrain and suppress his psychic energy. As for how to use the huge psychic energy in his body, he has never systematically learned it. The Tao of the spirit people is just a legacy to Li. It's like a teacher giving you a book. If you don't have a teacher to teach you, you can certainly learn it by yourself, but who can guarantee that you won't make mistakes?

But psychic energy is not an ordinary power. It is too dangerous and cannot tolerate any mistakes, especially for Li. Moreover, for Li, he does not lack the power to kill the enemy for the time being. If using guns, sharp daggers and psychic energy can achieve the same effect, Li will naturally choose to use the method that he is more familiar with and safer.

So most of the time, Li just regards this unknown psychic energy in his body as a troublesome and dangerous existence, just like a disease. He learns the way of the elves, and only uses the experience and skills of the elves to restrain and contain this power.

Li is not good at the use and skills of psychic energy.

"Really didn't notice it?" Rosina sneered and said, "Well, you can close your eyes now and feel it well."

Without Rosina saying more, Li also started to do so. He carefully extended his psychic energy from his body and delicately felt everything around him.
