Sean looked at the night pearls in the corridor with some envy.

Such a big night pearl can only be obtained by the mermaid clan, and it is arranged at will like a cabbage. Although there has never been an auction of this kind of luxury goods in the game, in this real world, Sean can still roughly know the value of these night pearls, and he thinks that if he can dig up all these night pearls and sell them, it will definitely be a big income.

It's just that this kind of thing, even if you really want to do it, you have to wait until you have explored the entire mermaid capital.

There was a very eerie silence in the corridor.

This breath is different from the situation of the sea sand promenade.

In the sea sand corridor, Sean and the others will be nervous, and it is only because there are pits, and one will die if he is not careful, so he needs to avoid it as much as possible. But in this corridor it was different, and Sean could even feel the slight tingling sensation coming from his skin, which was a very strong red flag.

He glanced at Nolo and Harding, and saw that the two of them also looked cautious, which at least proved that it was not Sean's delusion alone.

At this point, Sean was a little nostalgic for the situation in the previous game.

The map function that comes with the player's system can reflect the name of the current map very well, which allows the player to judge the importance of the current location very easily. This will save the player a lot of unnecessary exploration headaches, and they will often be able to find the destination of the trip very quickly - with the exception of maps in the wilderness, but maps like in Mermaid City can be very useful.

Everyone walked cautiously.

The promenade looks like it's long, and it's still a straight passage. However, everyone still noticed that this corridor was different.

After about every distance ahead, the luster of the Night Pearl will dim a little. Although at the beginning. Everyone was focused on preventing a possible surprise attack, so they didn't notice the change in light. But after moving forward for a distance, no matter how faint this change in light is, it is very different from when they first stepped into this corridor, and if Sean and the others have not found anything strange at this time, then there is really no need for them to continue exploring.

Sean slowly raised his left hand.

Everyone stopped.

"I kind of know what kind of puppets we're going to encounter." Sean looked at the corridor in front of him, where there was almost no light at all, and said in a deep voice.

The reason why I say almost, is because the light of the night pearls hanging on the top of the corridor has become extremely dim, and only a faint fluorescence remains. If it weren't for the fact that these Night Pearls were no different from all the Night Pearls I saw along the way. Sean and the others had to think that those night pearls were just larger fluorescent stones.

Orianna and Nolo didn't react, and Harding and Lancet looked very unsightly when they heard the words "puppet".

"What type of puppet?" Harding asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the Strike series." Sean's face looked a little cloudy, "Dark Blade." ”

There are many types of traps created by merfolk people, but although they are different in terms of details and combat styles, they can actually be planned and categorized according to six different types. In addition to the knight series that Sean and others have been exposed to and have special enhancements in combat skills, there is also a legion series that is specially used in war; Enhanced defense capabilities and ruggedness, dedicated to the protection of critical facilities and areas; The Mage series, which has a strengthened magic system and is capable of performing magic attacks similar to those of the Archmage; The Assault series, which is designed for hard-line combat and killing, is designed to enhance combat functions at the expense of defense; and the last one: a special series created according to special circumstances and needs, enhanced in terms of multiple abilities, comparable to the heroic storage zài.

Dark Blade. It is the second mass-produced product in the Raid series, and it was an assassinator model specially developed to carry out a war with the legion series of puppets. Therefore, they are modeled after the Assassins and Assassins of the Elves, although they are not as strong as the Guardian and Knight series in terms of materials for light action, but in terms of lethality and combat performance. The Raid series is second only to the special series.

And the Dark Sword Blade is a product that can be ranked in the top five among the puppets in the Strike series.

Others don't know what the Dark Sword Blade is like. But as a person who knows the merfolk and their related history and technology very well, Lenster's face suddenly became extremely ugly when he heard it.

"We. Do you want to go the other way? Ranster spoke, "With the infinite supply of mana that has a mana hub system. The Dark Blade has very special abilities that make them even more difficult. ”

Just like when they were in the outpost before, before Sean and the others closed the power room, those bronze knights and silver knights all had very powerful combat abilities and special force field protection, and the dark blades also had a special combat ability with sufficient mana supply: dark concealment. This is also the reason why Sean and the others looked at the slightly dark passage in front of them at this time, and did not find any traces of the puppets.

"What if there's a power room in front of it?" Sean didn't make any decisions, and after a moment of silence, he asked rhetorically.

This time, it was Ranster's turn to fall silent.

"With the support of magic power, the Dark Sword Blade can indeed blend into the darkness like the Shadow Assassins, but this type of puppet is the lowest threat to us." Sean patted Ranster on the shoulder, then smiled slightly, his smile was full of a confident contagion, "Puppets are not creatures after all, they are just mechanical creatures, they just act according to a set program, they don't think, so they are much easier to deal with than real shadow assassins." ”

As he said this, Sean also took out the Black King and threw it to Noro: "You come and clear the way." ”

Nolo shrugged. Then after passing the Black Queen, she walked towards the darker corridor without looking back.

Sean came to the Mermaid Capital this time. The purpose was very clear, so he deliberately emptied all the gold, silver and jewelry in the storage space. Only the food and water necessary for daily life were left, and the other was to bring some more long swords - for Nolo, such weapons were consumables, and it was impossible to support his fighting spirit at all, so Sean naturally didn't bring a particularly good one, just brought an ordinary tabula rasa long sword, and lost it anyway when it ran out.

Of course, in a situation like the one now, Nolo alone can do it. Sean naturally threw his Black King to Nolo, so that he could save a lot of money. In addition, he brought a few more wooden swords with him, which he had only brought with him when he had taught Orianna - Sean was afraid that if he used a real weapon, he would chop off all of Oriana's claws if he was careful.

When Nolo stepped into the dark corridor, his eyes couldn't help but turn cold.

His spiritual tentacles began to spread out, extending in all directions at a very rapid speed. Within the reach of Nolo's spiritual tentacles was the scope of his realm.

Nolo's realm is called Desperate Land.

As soon as the name is known, the rules of its domain must be related to the earth element. In fact. For a strong person like Nolo who is proficient in swordsmanship, the general domain ability will be based on strengthening himself and supporting the effect, and the domain will also be biased towards increasing the lethality as much as possible, pursuing the kind of combat power that must be killed with one hit.

But Nolo is different.

Although his field is mainly to support the effect and strengthen himself. However, he did not pursue one-hit combat power, and his domain enhancement effect was mainly to increase his own defense ability. Of course, this is related to the characteristics of the "Earth Element", but even the powerhouses of the Holy Domain are generally not satisfied with their own domain abilities. When you reach the upper Sanctuary stage, when you have the ability to modify the domain once, you will also try your best to form a domain that is more in line with your own combat habits and style, and at the worst, you will also improve your own domain defects.

But Nolo didn't.

When he reached the Upper Sanctuary. He didn't add attack methods to his domain, but still strengthened the support effect of his domain again. Only at this time. The rules that Noro came into contact with and analyzed had also touched "gravity" from the "earth element", and his ability to refine and increase when he ascended to the Sacred Domain was naturally related to "gravity".

Within Nolo's domain, he can adjust the gravity within the domain to his own will, by a factor of ten.

This is a very practical and terrifying ability.

It is with this ability that Nolo has the strength to fight even against legendary powerhouses in his past records. It's just that now his strength is limited to the middle of the holy realm, and the ability of the domain naturally can't be fully exerted, roughly in terms of gravity adjustment, it can only reach five times the adjustment, but under normal circumstances, it is enough to consume and use.

After listening to Sean's description of these dark blades, Nolo knew why Sean had let him lead the way.

In fact, these dark blades were indeed the only ones he could easily deal with.

Nolo didn't expand the domain too much, with his current strength, the limit of the full expansion of the domain was about two hundred meters in radius, but at the edge of the domain, his control power would be weakened and reduced accordingly, and the perfect maneuvering limit was within a radius of one hundred meters. At this time, the area covered by Nolo's spiritual tentacles was a radius of fifty meters, and he had almost absolute control in this area, even if his enemies were also using the power of "earth element" and "gravity" as the law, Nolo could also have absolute confidence that he could suppress the other party.

As Nolo walked forward about thirty or forty meters, he felt something suddenly enter his domain.

He didn't "see" anything in Nolo's line of sight, but his field was a clear indication that it was approaching. Noro didn't have to guess, and he knew that what was approaching him must be the so-called Dark Blade.

Without any movement, Nolo just stood still, quietly waiting for the other party to approach.

It's just that what Noro didn't expect was that when this dark sword blade, which couldn't see the figure at all, got close to a distance of about ten meters, the other party would no longer get closer.

This made Nolo's brow furrow slightly.

But he still didn't do anything, and waited where he was for about four or five minutes. After making sure that the other party would not make any moves, Nolo stepped forward again. He didn't seem to notice the dark blade on the surface. But in fact, the spiritual tentacles have been wrapped around the other party's body, as long as the other party moves. Then he can change the opponent's space gravity at the first time.

As the distance between the two sides grew closer, Nolo's demeanor became more relaxed.

It's just that this relaxation is just a superficial phenomenon, but in fact, Nolo has already grasped the Black King.

After all, this kind of creation is the first time Noro has seen and heard of this kind of thing, and there is no such thing in his plane. And in the face of all things that have never been touched, no matter what kind of existence is indispensable, it is purely an instinct. Only after the first encounter. This instinctive conscious response can be alleviated only when the corresponding information is established in one's own personal consciousness.

It's just that even so, Nolo has a perfect control over his own abilities.

His heartbeat didn't fluctuate at all.

Even when he had completely brushed shoulders with the dark blade, his heartbeat was still as calm as a normal person, as if he hadn't found any enemies or crises at all. But Noro knew very well that as he was actually brushing shoulders with the Dark Blade, his bare skin was stinging with an extremely strong sensation, and he could feel the killing intent rushing over him like a pinprick.

But no matter how close the distance between him and the Dark Sword Blade was, from the perception point of view, Noro was completely unaware of the existence of the Dark Sword Blade.

If it weren't for the fact that his realm had been reminding him of the distance between him and the Dark Blade. Nolo really couldn't believe that there was really something in this world that could hide his perception - the targeting of killing intent might also be a flaw that would be discovered, but in such a dark environment. The killing intent pouring in from all directions made it impossible for people to judge the enemy's location clearly.

It was just a passing moment, but in fact, Nolo had already completed a psychological charge battle with this puppet.

Merely. It's not the consciousness of this puppet that fights Nolo. Rather, it comes from the merfolk who designed the Dark Blade Center program during the First Merfolk Empire.

This is a contest that spans several eras, even two planes.

When Nolo and the dark golem completely passed by. Nolo still pretended not to find the puppet, and continued to move forward. And almost as soon as Noro stepped out of the distance of three or four meters again, the dark blade behind Noro also moved—keeping a distance of about three meters from Noro, and just stayed behind Noro, neither far nor near, only when Noro stopped, it would stop.

This made Nolo's brow furrow again.

Soon, though, his frown widened again, for he understood the puppet's intentions.

Within Nolo's realm, several more waves were transmitted.

Each fluctuating sensing represents the entry of a new stray into Nolo's realm, and this is the benefit of Nolo's realm.

Silently counting in his heart, there were a total of five new beings, which meant that five more dark blades had entered Noro's realm space. Judging from the information fed back from the field, these puppets are slowly approaching in an outflanking shape, and together with the dark blade behind Nolo, they can form a circular encirclement.

This is a very typical siege tactic and belongs to the ambush strategy.

It is usually an ambush tactic used by assassins or killers when they encounter an enemy with extremely strong individual strength - luring the target into an ambush circle, and then suddenly bursting out, using a moment of astonishment and slow reaction to achieve the purpose of assassination. Of course, this tactic is occasionally used to ensure that assassination operations are foolproof, as was the case when William was assassinated by five shadow assassins.

As Nolo, who is also proficient in assassination techniques and assassination books, he naturally has an instant insight into the intentions of these puppets.

It's just that at this time, he still has some doubts. That is the way these puppets fight, what do they rely on as the basis for judgment, how do they judge that their strength is stronger than them, and they can't solve themselves with their personal combat strength?

Nolo is really puzzling.

But no matter how puzzling. At this time, Noro did not wait quietly for their encirclement to close.

Within the envelope of its domain, the gravity of the entire space suddenly changed.

In this moment. Nolo, who had a dark vision, instantly saw the true face of these dark blades - they were special metal golems coated with matte material. They do not have a palm, and at the tip of their arm is a cone that resembles a thin stabbing sword, and all other qiē is similar to the structure of the human body. Of course, the only difference is that the head cannot be like a human or an elf, but a flat metal helmet.

It seems that because of the distortion and change of gravity, the special abilities of these dark blades have been shielded, and their bodies have all appeared to be twisted, deformed, and cracked in different ways. And almost at this moment, two red rays lit up at the helmets of these dark blades—the Nolo conjecture, which was probably the visual field information gathering function used for observation. - Immediately afterward, these dark blades launched a fierce attack on Noro without hesitation.

Nolo's eyes flashed with surprise.

With five times the gravity suppression, even the median Sacred Domain powerhouse of the Gray Raven Tribe was crushed by Nolo and vomited blood. However, these puppets, under the suppression of such a strong gravity, did not turn into scrap metal one after another, but also had the ability to fight, this discovery made Noro naturally feel novel.

He turned and stabbed the nearest dark blade with a backhand.

In addition to assassination, Nolo's swordsmanship also has the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Only one sword. Just as Sean had broken through Oriana's defenses before, Noro easily shattered the two pointed arms of the dark blade behind him, and then the sword pierced directly into the puppet's helmet about three inches below with the same momentum.

When the long swords touched, Nolo's pupils shrank slightly.

The hardness of the armor on this puppet. It was a little taller than Nolo had imagined, so it was impossible for him to pierce the puppet's armor without attacking with all his might. Fortunately, Nolo was not an ordinary powerhouse, but a powerhouse of the Sacred Realm. So at the moment when a countershock came from the tip of the sword, Nolo used the domain ability again. Focusing gravity on the tip of the sword and the puppet's armor, a faintly visible black circle of light flashed away. In the next second, the Black Monarch in Nolo's hand stabbed into it without hindrance, and then directly smashed the power core of this puppet.

Immediately after, drawing his sword with his backhand, Nolo turned around and stepped back, using his body to crash into the "dead" puppet, while the long sword swept.

I only heard a muffled sound of gold and iron handing over in the air, and the attacks of the five mechanism puppets that came at the same time were easily blocked by Nolo, and even under Nolo's traction, two of the mechanism puppets were pulled by the body instead, and the other three mechanism puppet companions opened a little distance. And Nolo's attack obviously did not stop there, after pulling the figures of the two puppets, Nolo immediately stabbed out with two backhand swords.

Because of the experience of the first time he fought before, this time Nolo's attack naturally knew how to exert some force.

With the sharpness of the Black King, it is natural that he will not be blocked by these armors, which are already made of lighter materials. Therefore, the two puppets were naturally solved by Nolo in an instant.

Immediately after, Nolo took advantage of the fact that the other three puppets had not yet recovered, and the Black King in his hand turned into a violent wind, and the three sword shadows once again pierced into the weak points of the core of these puppets at the same time, completely destroying them.

Six mechanism puppets were solved in a row, and Nolo's heart also had a relatively clear measure of the strength of these mechanism puppets.

The combat power of the Dark Sword Blade is probably equivalent to that of the Shadow Assassin of the upper Silver Peak, but under the protection of the ability to conceal darkness and the almost completely imperceptible characteristics, the actual combat ability of these Dark Sword Blades is already equivalent to that of the powerhouse of the lower Golden Realm. If you add in the fact that they are puppets and have no pain reactions, the actual combat power of these dark blades will rise to a more terrifying level.

Compared to the Bronze Knight and the Silver Knight, the Dark Sword is much more difficult to deal with.

Only a guy like Nolo, whose domain ability completely restrained these dark blades, could solve it so easily. Otherwise, even if Harding or Sean is replaced, it will inevitably take a lot of scramble to solve it, and it may even be seriously injured because of this. Of course, for the team that has such a holy woman as Heatley of the Church of Life, as long as it is not killed on the spot, there will basically be no trouble, but in the case of being able to avoid danger, there is naturally no need to go into danger.

After Noro knew the strength and battle situation of these dark blades, he didn't move forward so cautiously.

The range of the domain was instantly expanded to a hundred meters.

For a moment, Noro immediately sensed that there were no less than ten dark blades.

Without the slightest hesitation, the gravitational effect was immediately activated.

The ten puppets were immediately destroyed by different processes, but Nolo was still outside of their perception range, which suddenly made these puppets feel like headless flies. After discovering this, Nolo fell into deep thought again, but his footsteps did not stop, but continued to move forward, and soon the ten puppets discovered Nolo's existence and immediately killed Nolo.

This time, they didn't try to hide their bodies again, so Noro was very light enough to see the air traces of the ten puppets moving in the darkness.

At this moment, Noro already knew how these dark blades were completely invisible.

The matte material smeared on the Dark Blade is actually a magic pattern material, which can be used to blend well with the dark environment with a large amount of mana supply from the magic array. And this fusion, which is somewhat similar to the effect of brilliance camouflage, is the ability to completely refract light, so it is impossible to capture these dark blades hidden in the darkness with the ability of the naked eye alone, plus there are things under the feet of these dark blades that absorb sound transmission, and they originally belong to the category of dead things, so not only is their movement silent, but even the heartbeat and breathing sounds that ordinary shadow assassins can't solve can be perfectly avoided.

This qiē is the secret that the dark blade can be completely invisible.

It's just that with Noro's gravitational pressure, which destroys the surface structure of these puppets, causing damage and cracks in their armor, the magic pattern effect will not work, or the effect will produce some distortion, so the air will appear as they move.

Although it made no difference to Nolo whether he could see these puppets or not, being able to see these puppets at this time would naturally make the battle easier for him. Before these dark blades could get closer, Noro had already used the burst of sword energy to eliminate all of these puppets.

And then, Nolo began to make some new attempts.

He no longer directly destroyed the five-fold weight in one go, but began to gradually stack one, two, and three times.

This stacking method made Nolo quickly discover that he didn't even need to fight these dark blades anymore, he only needed to stack gravity little by little, and he could directly suppress five times the gravity in one go. Under the gradual superposition and suppression of these gravity, the body of the Dark Sword Blade will be destroyed even more completely, so that by the time Noro approaches, these puppets have completely turned into a mass of scrap metal. (To be continued......)
