Chapter 114: 79. Accumulated Water in Corridor_3

Translator: 549690339

[You currently have 11 Energy Points, do you confirm to deconstruct?] 1800 Energy Points!

This number is 800 points higher than deconstructing the First Order “Imperial Fist”.

Undoubtedly, the Frost Skeleton Mage is a more formidable presence than the First Order “Imperial Fist”.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance squad brought Bee Syrup Bombs, otherwise, the battle just now could have been described as completely one-sided for a little while.

Thinking that the two reconnaissance squads brought only 6 Bee Syrup Bombs in total, Noland Lee immediately quickened his pace and rushed forward.

As he ran, a strong smell of blood entered his nostrils.

Noland Lee looked up, his gaze passing through the slanted corridor and falling on a strange shadow in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, it was a corpse lying on the Stepstone with its chest facing upwards, and an extremely gruesome death scene.

The crimson bloodstains and shattered flesh flowed downstream with the river water, passing by Noland Lee’s side.

Noland Lee’s eyes narrowed, realizing that he and Corporal Mars and others had overlooked a crucial detail.

Don’t act alone!

This is the key to dealing with the Spectral Ripper!

The soldier on the distant Stepstone was killed by the Spectral Ripper after separating from the team.

Who says that it is unlikely for a Spectral Ripper to appear between Grave 717 and Grave 700 due to the distance?!

Damn it!

Corporal Mars, how did the flag you inserted yourself come true on me?!

He stopped, looked around.

There were no Imperial soldiers in sight.

Noland Lee lowered the gun, slung the firearm on his back, and removed his hands from the gun body.

He had a “Mark of Resentment” on him.

As long as he didn’t show any aggression, the mindless Undead Creatures of the Undead Cult – Resentment Faction wouldn’t target him.

Noland Lee was now almost certain that there was a Spectral Ripper in the corridor above.

But here’s the problem.

Where did this Spectral Ripper come from?

The reconnaissance squads hadn’t encountered any enemies on their way here.

Could there be hidden mechanisms and secret doors in this staircase?

Moreover, is this Spectral Ripper an Undead Creature of the Resentment Faction?

Does it have a mind of its own?

Noland Lee was a little unsure.

The “Mark of Resentment” might not work on this Spectral Ripper.

As he pondered, a weak cold wind blew upwards from below.

The cold wind grazed Noland Lee’s neck, causing him to shiver.

Loud gunshots rang again in the Staircase.

Corporal Mars and Zina Morgan estimated that it was unlikely that a Spectral Ripper would appear in Grave 717.

That’s why, subconsciously following the standard combat rules, they only arranged for one soldier to go and report.

They’ll probably only realize the grave mistake they’ve made when they see the corpse on the Stepstone.

Of course, they might all die at the hands of the Frost Skeleton Mage and not even replace the corpse in the upper staircase.

Noland Lee felt that he couldn’t defeat the Frost Skeleton Mage, so he had no choice but to go up.

Fortunately, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

Over the past ten days, he had devised a deconstruction plan:

Leave 10 to 14 Energy Points as a reserve. All excess Energy Points should be used for Harmless Deconstruction of “Martyrdom Ten Commandments Summary”.

Over these ten days, he had deconstructed a lot of useful items with a harmless method.

Some deconstruction results are efficient but not safe, leaving traces for others to track.

Some deconstruction results come at a price, but they are safe enough not to be easily traced by the Empire side.

Aside from the “Fear Spell”, Noland Lee also had a control-type Spell in hand that would be useful right now.

He calmed down and continued at a steady pace.

His eyes moved quickly, constantly observing the dark corners.

The open and gutted corpse was close at hand.

A cold glint arrived as expected, stabbing from the most sinister angle.

Sure enough, this Spectral Ripper didn’t buy Noland Lee’s “Mark of Resentment” trick.

Noland Lee’s muscles suddenly tensed, and goosebumps erupted all over his skin.

He sensed the knife’s blade close at hand, but made no evasive action, as if resigned to his fate..
