Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 8 8. The Dead Sneak Attack

Although criminal soldiers are used to explore the way, there are still basic guarantees for survival.

Among the combat equipment Sergeant Mars brought to Li Nuo was a breathing mask with a canister.

After wearing this thing on the head, you can only observe the surrounding environment through two thick glass lenses, and you can also hear your own breathing, which can easily make people feel nervous.

Li Nuo has only seen this thing before in war-themed or zombie-themed works, and this is the first time he wears it.

To be honest, he was more curious about the undead than uneasy, at least so far.

This is a psychological state that belongs exclusively to the traveler.

——They took it for granted that they would survive and become legends because they had traveled through time and possessed the system.

Before they really face the threat of death, they will treat their journey through life with an attitude of playing games.

Li Nuo thought he was cautious enough, far more cautious than ordinary traversers, but deep down in his heart, he knew very well that he would save himself from danger.

Therefore, when he stepped into the stairwell leading to the first underground area, he felt somewhat slack in his heart because of his curiosity about undead creatures.

Soon, because of a little accident, he put away the mentality he shouldn't have, became completely serious, and took his first employment task seriously.

The accident came from a sinister undead creature.

It lurks on the walls of the stairwell.

It has the same appearance as ordinary stone walls, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an ordinary stone brick.

But when Li Nuo exuded the breath of biochemical bait and came to a distance of about 10 meters from this "stone brick", a black shadow flew out from the "stone brick".

At this moment, Li Nuo was completely powerless to resist.

With the help of the light from the coal lamp, he spotted the black shadow coming towards him, but because he had never received military training, he couldn't control his body in time and made dodge movements.

He saw it, but he couldn't hide it. Li Nuo's brows twitched violently, as if he foresaw the tragedy of his head being pierced by a black shadow.

Fortunately, Sergeant Marrs kept his promise and quickly responded to the shadow, saving the slow-moving Li Nuo.

A yellow bullet was fired from a short-barreled rifle equipped with a silencer, and it precisely landed on the "stone brick" that shot out the black shadow, blasting a bloody flower with purple-black sewage.

A large mass of black, filthy flesh and blood fell from the wall, turning into a pool of "slime" mixed with bone fragments and fur.

At the same time, the black shadow that was about to land on Li Nuo's face completed the entire process from giant hard to Microsoft, and then from Microsoft to Panasonic in just half a second, and landed on the ground with a thud.

Li Nuo slowly exhaled the air trapped in his chest, and subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. Only then did he realize that the breathing mask blocked his palms, and he could only let the beads of sweat slide down his cheeks

"Thank you..." Li Nuo turned around and nodded his thanks to Sergeant Mars who helped him.

Sergeant Myers responded with an almost imperceptible nod, deliberately grim.

He stepped forward, passed Li Nuo, picked up the black shadow on the ground with the tip of his gun, and looked at it under the light of the coal lamp.

Following the movements of Sergeant Mars, the true face of the black shadow came into Li Nuo's eyes.

It was a tentacle covered with tiny black hairs.

The tentacles are connected to the "slime" that falls on the ground, and the tip is a flower-shaped mouthpart with sharp teeth.

It is conceivable that if Sergeant Mars fired a gun a third of a second later, the mouthparts of the black-haired tentacles would cover Li Nuo's face.

"What is this?" Li Nuo asked in a low voice.

Sergeant Mars flicked his rifle, shaking the black-haired tentacles to the ground, glanced at Li Nuo and said:

"Crypt Lurker, a low-level suture monster of the Necromancer sect, will disguise itself as a stone brick, hide on the wall, and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. It smells the smell of biochemical bait, so it will attack you as soon as you step into it. When within range, launch a sneak attack immediately."

Sergeant Mars returned to the queue and chatted with several other people, but he did not avoid the criminal soldiers.

Li Nuo stood silently and listened, gradually realizing how rich the imperial army's combat experience was.

They actually only relied on the corpse of an undead creature to deduce the general situation of the catacombs.

The corporal in the ranks said:

"The crypt lurker we encountered has a total length of about 3 meters of tentacles. The flagella on the tentacles are short and hard, and the length is about 6 mm. I judge that this is a mature crypt lurker with vertical diffusion ability."

Another soldier produced a map of the tomb's layout and held it by the light of a coal lamp.

Sergeant Marrs made a few gestures on the map and expressed his speculation:

"The vertical movement speed of mature crypt lurkers is 10 meters per second, and they can swim quickly in hard stone bricks and walls.

"It usually takes two months for the Spirit Pivot to summon crypt lurkers of this level on a large scale.

"We are located at a depth of two meters underground, and there is a vertical distance of about 100 meters between the tomb passage on the third floor of the tomb.

"...A preliminary estimate is that there are a large number of mature undead creatures in the tomb passages on the second and third basement floors, and they have existed for at least two months."

"It's not good news."

"Yes. What's worse, if you want to resurrect such a large-scale mature undead creature, you must be at least a level 2 Spiritual Pivot."

Mars concluded with:

"We need more information to pin down the exact level of the coffin. So go ahead, everyone, and let's clear the way for the Imperial Army...for the glory of the Empire!"

A group of team members roared in response:

"For the glory of the empire."

The soldiers stopped communicating and turned their attention to Li Nuo.

Li Nuo was very knowledgeable and didn't twitch, he walked down the stairs slowly and obediently.

This time he took a lot of seriousness, completely suppressed the emotions he shouldn't have, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to observing the surrounding environment.

As he walked, he suddenly discovered a clever trick to use the deconstruction technique.

When the deconstruction technique is activated, the system will give the target object a name.

For example, the dark clouds in the sky over the border of tribulation.

Li Nuo thought it was an ordinary cloud layer, but the system directly gave it an "abnormal" title, reminding the host that there was an abnormality in this cloud layer.

Li Nuo can take advantage of this to discover the crypt lurkers disguised as stone bricks in advance.

He walked all the way, throwing deconstruction techniques all the way, but didn't use any energy to deconstruct, just get the name of the target object from the system.

This method is very useful.

Within five minutes of encountering the first Crypt Stalker, he found 6 sneaky Crypt Stalkers this way.

Although Li Nuo knew about the attacker's existence in advance, Li Nuo didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

He didn't want to reveal his ability to spot crypt lurkers.

He did not take evasive measures in advance to avoid the crypt lurkers, but at the moment when the crypt lurkers launched a surprise attack, he squatted down with his head covered in an agile posture, protecting his head and making space for the soldiers behind him to shoot.

Such a set of dodging movements like a coward seems a bit embarrassing.

Li Nuo can't care so much anymore, his life is the most important thing, and all the image and so on stand aside.

You can't expect Sergeant Marrs to hit every shot every time. right?

The soldiers didn't say much, and gradually got used to this criminal soldier who would hug his head and squat down whenever there was any trouble.

Sergeant Mars saw Li Nuo's actions, his eyes flickering faintly.

People say that the scholars in the city college are well-dressed and respected, but they are all timid, and they will stand still when they are in danger, like a fool.

Wasn't Leno Jarvis doing just fine?

Hmm... Although the action of squatting with your head in your arms is a bit silly, it's better than being in a daze.

Sergeant Mars nodded silently. Seeing that Li Nuo was so adaptable, he was relieved a lot. After all, the next investigation work will not be as simple as it is now.
