    After walking for about half an hour in this ustrophobia-inducing tunnel, Nnd Lee heard the sound of trickling water.


    Reflective water curtains began to appear on the walls on both sides.


    Nnd took a deep breath and smelled the unique dampness of the underground river.


    After passing three more turns, the scene before him became more open and bright.


    The width of this underground river was muchrger than Nnd had imagined.


    Like a winding giant snake, it meandered through the underground space filled with poisonous fog.


    Dark green spots dotted the surface of the river, giving it a greenish hue.


    Upon closer inspection, those shimmering dark green spots were the undead contamination flowing with the river towards the south.


    Green glowing bones, flickering green rotting flesh, unidentifiable scales with green glow, and countless severed limbs and dried corpses.


    All of these filthy things that flowed from the depths of the Undead Cult carried sinister dark green light and had contaminated the underground river entirely.


    This was no ordinary underground canal.


    It was the best testament to the Undead Cult’s heinous and sinful acts.


    Upon seeing this river, everyone’s eyes were filled with anger and disgust.


    Lieutenant Slyke Thompson felt that way, the elite fighters felt the same, and so did Sergeant Mars.


    Only Nnd was slightly different.


    While despising the river’s pollution, he maintained his thoughts and cast out a Deconstruction technique.


    [System Message: You are attempting to deconstruct the “Abnormal Underground River”]


    [It is estimated that every 1100 energy points consumed will raise the degree of deconstruction by 1%]


    [You currently have 13 energy points. Would you like to confirm the deconstruction?]


    Abnormal Underground River.


    He saw the word “abnormal” again.


    Thest thing judged as “abnormal” by the system was theyer of clouds hovering over the Suffering Bordend.


    Now it’s this underground river in front of him.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    He didn’t know if it was a coincidence.


    Nnd discovered that there was another simrity between the underground river and the clouds.


    Was their deconstruction consumption the same?


    Nnd pulled up the system message and scrolled back, finding a message from his attempt to deconstruct the cloudyer days ago.


    Indeed.


    Both deconstructing the underground river and the clouds required 1100 enercv D0ints to increase theoletion of deconstruction bv 1%.


    Why was that?


    As Nnd followed the team, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.


    “Everyone, halt.”


    Lieutenant Slyke Thompson raised his right fist and led the team to hide in a shadow.


    He first stuck his head out to quickly observe the situation ahead, then turned back and gestured a series of hand signals to his teammates behind him. Nnd watched, dazzled, not understanding what the other looked meaning.


    Sergeant Mars whispered an exnation:


    “Our current position is about 10 kilometers beneath the area north of Grave


    This is the most suitable ce to intercept the Undead Fleet, but there is a Necromancer’s Outpost about 100 meters ahead of us. The magic protective shield of the outpost has been activated. It covers the watchtower but not the wall, indicating that the outpost is in second-level alert mode. The outpost’s undead sentries are still unaware of our arrival.”


    Lieutenant Slyke Thompson pointed at several elite fighters and continued to make a series of hand gestures.


    Sergeant Mars continued tranting for Nnd:


    “Themander is arranging assault routes and personnel. Group 1 will attack in Imperial Shield Giant form to distract the Necromancer’s Turret and sentries on the wall. Group 2 will attack in Imperial Ranger Giant form to breach the wall and clear the undead soldiers inside the outpost. Group 3 will attack in Empire Artillery Giant form to remotely stop the expansion of the magic protective shield and snipe the enemy’s War Spiritsmander. We don’t need to worry about the battle. After receiving the signal, we just need to break the magic protective shield.”


    Nnd nodded and asked:


    “You just mentioned that themander of the Necromancer’s Outpost is a War Spirit? What is a War Spirit? The books in the reading room didn’t mention this. ”


    “It’s normal that the books didn’t mention this because you won’t encounter


    War Spirits during battles in the tombs.”


    Sergeant Mars pondered for a moment before exining:


    “You can think of War Spirits as the Undead Cult’s troopmanders, ones that are only responsible formanding the undead in battle and not managing spirit pivots. They are the top of the mid-level undead creatures, possessing strongbat abilities, and are capable of summoning undead on the spot or forcing slumbering undead to join the fight. In short, War Spirits are difficult to deal with.”


    Nnd asked again:


    “War Spirits can summon undead on the spot? But didn’t the books say that the Undead Cult needs to set up ritual arrays to summon undead?”


    “Yes, I didn’t make a mistake. War Spirits can indeed summon undead on the spot, which is why they are so difficult to deal with. I don’t know how they can do that.”


    Sergeant Mars raised his index finger, making the gesture to keep quiet:


    “Shh… The battle teams are about to move. Let’s talkter.” Nnd closed his mouth, looking at the group of bald men.


    Each team had its own mission.


    They took different colored injectors out of their pockets.


    The members of Group 1 lifted their breathing masks, unafraid of the poisonous fog in the air, and injected themselves with gray elixirs. Then, with a low growl, they transformed into Bone Armor Giants, wielding bone shields


    and bone swords..
