Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 69: 69. Black Hook

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

After a full 20 hours, he managed to reach the mountain range 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 that hangs the figure in the air is not the "lasso" imagined by Li Nuo.

To be precise, this thing is not 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 crescent-shaped black hook pierced from the figure's chin, pierced from the top of the head, and pierced through the figure's head from bottom to top.

All the weight of the silhouette is placed on the hook, and there are no other points of focus on the whole body.

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

And this is the second incredible thing that Li Nuo discovered!

The figure didn't have half a piece of clothing on it. His muscles were shriveled, his skin was gray, and the dried up dirty blood spread from his head to his whole body like a dark red river.

The mandible pierced by the hook was ripped apart, and the wound rolled back, revealing dark red carrion and blood clots.

His face was contorted with pain, and his eyes were as white as the eyes of a dead fish.

But even so, this figure is not completely dead.

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

When he moved, the hook that hooked his head would shake slightly, which intensified his pain.

The roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth was his mournful cry and cry of pain.

Along the way, Li Nuo heard about 20 screams.

As the distance between him and the figure gradually shortened, every mournful cry he heard would be more powerful and sad than the previous one.

The last time I heard the scream was 50 minutes ago, and ten minutes later, the figure was about to cry out again.

Li Nuo was not in a hurry to hurry.

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

Doing so is related to the third thing.

When that figure mourned, it would 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 sunlight and wind passing through his body, and he will also have faint tactile feedback when touching flowers, trees and rocks.

Such a strange ball of light is very light.

The gust of wind blowing when the figure screamed was enough to roll him up and throw him away from the figure.

So before the figure screams, find a shelter to avoid the coming gust of wind.

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

However, this time the screams were very different.

The figure suspended in the air was right above Li Nuo's head.

After Li Nuo hid in the crevice of the stone, he looked up at the figure on the high ground, and counted down the time of the next scream through the temporary effect countdown on the personal panel.

After counting silently for 30 seconds, the figure screamed punctually.

He turned his head, his gray eyes scanned the ground, and seemed to have discovered the pale golden light ball under his feet.

Li Nuo immediately felt the gaze of the figure—with a little hope in the numbness, as if begging for help and salvation.

The figure opened its chapped lips slightly, and the mournful cry came as expected.

A strong wind blew from high above, the surrounding trees rustled, and dust flew all over the sky.

Li Nuo quickly drilled a little into the crevices of the rocks, and took off vertically after getting through the screaming.

Unexpectedly, amidst the whistling wind, he heard a strange sound that he had never heard before.

"Pfft!"

It's like a sharp weapon piercing the flesh, and it's like a blood scab falling off the wound. The sound was very faint in the strong wind, but it was not difficult for people to distinguish it.

Li Nuo looked up, just in time to see the figure spit out a ball of blackened blood.

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

And that strange sound was made when the black hook stretched and retracted after the figure spit out the dirty blood, piercing through 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 dirty blood? It didn't happen in the previous few times of mourning."

Li Nuo pondered in the wind that gradually subsided:

"Could it be that there is something in the dirty blood that was blown away by the wind to help him get out of trouble? There is a possibility. Maybe the black hook pierced the skull again, and it was punishing the figure who tried to save himself."

Li Nuo looked to the corner of the sky, where the black blood drop was the closest to him.

Right now, there is only less than 4 hours of dream time left.

His original plan was to try to lift off after reaching the mountain range directly below the figure, using the fastest speed and the shortest route to touch the foot of the figure, and then explore the method of passively deconstructing the figure.

Now, he has a new plan, which is to find out what the black blood drop is.

This plan is more secure than the original.

Because in the process of vertical climbing, he has no place to hide from the strong wind.

If he couldn't touch the figure's feet within an hour, he might be blown away, making the efforts of the past twenty hours all in vain.

From the perspective of insurance, it would be safer to look for black blood drops.

But if the black blood drop has no deconstructive value, then Li Nuo's trip will be wasted, and it will delay for several hours.

Li Nuo weighed things up a bit, and decided to check the situation of the black blood drop first.

After the gust of wind subsided completely, he drilled out of the cracks in the rocks, floated to a height of ten meters, and identified the exact landing point of the black blood droplet.

The good news is that the black blood drop seems to be highly corrosive.

After they landed, they reacted violently with the plants on the ground, and black smoke columns rose one after another, which just pointed out the direction for Li Nuo.

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

The forested mountains are rich in shade and deciduous.

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 towards the black blood drop, a stench that was clearly different from the rotting leaves penetrated into his "nostrils" along the breeze in the forest.

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

At this moment, the system sent a message:

【Notice! You are affected by something unknown, gaining a debuff of unknown name. 】

In order to be on the safe side, first figure out the negative effects, and then don't be too stingy with the energy value.

Li Nuo selected the "negative effect of unknown name" with his mind, and silently deconstructed it.

[System message: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on the "negative effect of unknown name". 】

[It is expected to consume 3 energy points to make the deconstruction complete to 100%. 】

[Are you sure to proceed with the deconstruction? 】

Li Nuo silently said in his heart:

"Confirm to deconstruct."

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

[Successful deconstruction! 】

[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, every minute, your "spirit" attribute value is temporarily reduced by 1 point.

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

【illustrate】

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

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

In theory, you can stay in "Soul Corruption" for a maximum of 26 minutes.

2. "Soul Shield" can effectively restrain "Soul Corruption". After activating "Soul Shield", you will be temporarily unaffected by "Soul Corruption".

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

4. After you leave the Twilight Dreamland, your lost soul strength will be restored, but the skills, memories and knowledge you lost because your soul strength is below 1 point will not be restored.

…

Li Nuo raised his head and glanced at the dark blood spots on the figure's body.

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

While Li Nuo was thinking, he flew quickly, aiming at the root of the black smoke column.

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

A large forest withered by the arrival of the foul blood.

The leaves are scorched, the rotting leaves are decomposed into waste residues, the trees are withered and decayed, and the air is filled with a strong rotten smell.

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

The 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 sent into the air, tarnishing the purity and tranquility of this woodland.

"Yellow-green smoke..."

Li Nuo's gaze became deep.

He thought of the poisonous fog in tomb number 1079.

The rancid mist emitted by undead creatures is exactly the same as the smoke emitted by the dirty blood in front of him.

besides.

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

Let's say he's some kind of giant creature.

Then his relationship with Tainted Blood is not the same as the relationship between "Fist of the Empire" and the Necromancer Cult?

He is a giant.

The "Fist of the Empire" is also a giant, but a biochemical giant artificially created.

The negative effect of tainted blood "soul corruption" is a death-like magic effect, and the necromantic sect is also a hostile force related to death spells.

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

Thoughts surged in Li Nuo's mind.

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

If it is assumed that there is the hostile relationship between the biochemical giant and the necromancer sect in reality, and then there is the twilight dream.

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

But if it is assumed that there is a twilight dream first, and then there is a conflict between the biochemical giant and the necromancer sect.

Then, the hostile scene between biochemical giants and undead in reality is the result of the dusk dream interfering with reality.

It is very important whether there is reality first or the twilight dream first.

Because, Li Nuo always felt that the empire's research and development of biochemical giants was not accidental.

Judging from the historical knowledge of Tatis mastered by the original owner:

The ancient Tatis dynasty was a typical feudal dynasty, there were no extraordinary people, no extraordinary routes, and no one had 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 "Fist of the Empire" is an extraordinary line created by the current emperor when he overthrew the old dynasty and established the empire.

In Tatis historiography, the necromantic sect infiltrated the royal family of the ancient Tatis dynasty and secretly planned an evil plan to sacrifice the subjects of the entire dynasty.

And Emperor Tatis is the hero who saw through the conspiracy of the Necromancer sect, stopped the evil plan, and overthrew the evil dynasty.

If Li Nuo hadn't seen the twilight dream, he would have no doubts about Tatis' knowledge of history, and believed that the biochemical giant was independently developed by the empire.

But now...

He saw the twilight dream.

A new idea quickly took shape in his mind:

It was from the twilight dream that Emperor Tatis was inspired to develop the "Imperial Fist" in reality.

His purpose is to use the power of biochemical mutation technology to reproduce the giant in the dusk dream.

And the evil force of the Necromancer sect may also have discovered the twilight dream, or other things that can bring extraordinary power, and thus mastered death magic.

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

It is esoteric, obscure, mysterious, full of uncertainty and crisis, and it is very likely to lead people to fall into the sect of the dead.

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

The same is true of the professors in the city college-at least on the surface.

But now it seems that the twilight dream, this realistic and weird dream, is definitely inseparable from the appearance of the biochemical giant "Fist of the Empire".

Li Nuo stared at the pitch-black pool for a long time, and gradually came to his senses.

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

No sooner had the branches touched the water than billows of smoke erupted.

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

"It seems that this pool of dirty blood is nothing special except that it is extremely corrosive and will release "soul corruption". "

Li Nuo was slightly disappointed, turned and left.

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

Li Nuo stopped in his tracks and looked back.

The thing floating on the water was red, as if it was a fresh blood clot, and it seemed to be wrapped in a ball of blood.

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

[System message: You are about to launch a deconstruction technique on the "unknown extraordinary characteristic". It is expected to consume 30 energy points to deconstruct this item 100%. 】

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

Li Nuo was slightly taken aback, and hurried to the pool.
