Chapter 113: 79. Accumulated Water in Corridor_2
Translator: 549690339
There won’t be any Imperial Soldiers in the First Underground Level. The approaching figure must be an Undead Creature!
But why is there only the sound of one person’s footsteps?
Shouldn’t there be many Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Hounds?
Noland Lee stood in the back of the team, his heart pounding.
He glanced down at the water on the stepstone and felt something was amiss.
The impurity-filled river water could conduct electricity.
Theoretically, a strong electric current could wipe out all the soldiers whose shoes and socks were soaked.
If the Undead Creature appearing in front of them had the ability to discharge electricity, all the soldiers would die in the combination of “water + electric current”.
But can the Undead Creatures generate electricity?
Noland Lee was slightly taken aback.
Would the Undead Creature walking towards the staircase be carrying a battery on its back, and wielding exposed wire heads in its hand?
If not, why would it come to face the Imperial Soldiers alone?
The more Noland Lee thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Corporal Mars obviously considered the potential danger too.
“Everyone, cover each other and retreat.”
He raised his hand and made a few gestures, silently ordering the others.
Sergeant Zina also made the “cover each other and retreat” gesture.
Both reconnaissance squads slowly retreated up the staircase.
For each step they took back, the Undead Creature in the First Underground Level advanced one step.
“Click, click…”
The footsteps of the Undead were regular, always moving at a steady pace towards the Metal Gate.
Just as both reconnaissance squads retreated about ten meters away, a bony leg emerged from the dim doorway.
Then, a skinny skeleton, a skull glowing with dark purple light, and a tattered but still magnificent deep blue cloak were revealed.
This was a unique skeleton.
It was three heads taller than ordinary Skeleton Warriors, with a sturdy body, and in its hollow chest, a frost-white heart floated.
A surge of cold air gushed out of the icy crystal-like heart.
In an instant, the temperature of the water-filled staircase dropped sharply, and white snowflakes appeared on the water surface.
Noland Lee’s pupils shrank violently, and he couldn’t help but shiver!
The cold air swept over, invading the soldiers’ uniforms and crawling on their skin.
Sergeant Zina exhaled white fog, his face solemn, and ordered loudly:
“It’s a Frost Skeleton Mage! Shoot! Shoot! Launch Bee Syrup Bombs! Quickly, quickly, quickly!”
“Bang!”
The Private Second Class responsible for the launcher fired a Bee Syrup Bomb.
The honeycomb-like bomb crossed ten meters within half a second, just about to hit the Frost Skeleton Mage when an ice wall emerged from the water below to block it!
“Crack! ”
The Bee Syrup Bomb hit the ice wall and exploded, splitting into pieces and splashing dark biochemical nectar.
The biochemical nectar smeared on the ice wall, and within three to five seconds, it was frozen into black ice debris.
Not a single drop of biochemical nectar fell on the Frost Skeleton Mage!
“Don’t stop! Keep shooting! Keep launching the bombs! All of you, provide cover fire and keep retreating!”
Sergeant Zina shouted orders, aiming and firing her gun.
Bullets rained down on the ice wall, splashing fragments of ice.
Corporal Mars shouted:
“Mars Squad, listen up, use your rifles, maintain a fire cover! Hand our Bee Syrup Bombs to Zina Squad! As long as we still have bombs, this Frost Skeleton Mage won’t dare dismantle the ice wall! …Everyone, aim for the skull, not the
Magic Heart! That Magic Heart is indestructible, it’s no use shooting it!”
The soldiers held their Silenced Rifles and fired bullets at the Frost Skeleton Mage’s skull.
Doing so could not damage the enemy protected by the ice wall, but it could damage the wall itself.
The bullet heads hit the ice wall like chisels.
After three rounds of rapid fire, a hollow appeared in the ice wall, revealing the skeleton’s skull.
“Bang!” Another Bee Syrup Bomb was launched, aiming for the hollow in the ice wall.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the staircase, making people shiver, and white frost even appeared in the air.
In an instant, the hollow in the wall was repaired, and it became smooth again.
The second bomb followed the trajectory of the first, hitting the undamaged wall.
Splash of biochemical nectar turned into ice debris, still unable to harm the Frost Skeleton Mage.
“Keep retreating, maintain fire cover!” The two sergeants alternated orders.
The soldiers retreated again and again, finally reaching the higher part of the stairs.
Since the stairway slopes downward, the Frost Skeleton Mage was soon
biockea by the ceiling.
The soldiers lost sight of the enemy, and the gunfire stopped accordingly.
There were no Extraordinary individuals in the two reconnaissance squads. If the Frost Skeleton Mage pursued persistently, the team would have serious casualties.
Corporal Mars knew this.
With his gun pointing down the stairs, he commanded without looking back: “Jarvis! You, go upstairs and send a message for reinforcements. Go!”
Noland Lee had just replaced his magazine when he heard Mars’s order and immediately ran upstairs without looking back:
“Yes, Chief Officer!”
The Frost Skeleton Mage just now was absolutely beyond their abilities to handle at the moment.
Noland had deployed his Deconstruction Technique as soon as the Mage appeared.
[System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct the “Frost Skeleton Mage”.]
[It is estimated to consume 1,800 Energy Points to achieve a 100% degree of deconstruction..]
