?Chapter 991: 308. Pursuing Shadows_2


    The shadow fragments trapped within the rock cage were not spared either, one by one they were sted into fumes by the lightning and disappeared from the ground level.


    The rock cage itself, however, survived thanks to its decent resistance to thunder and lightning energy…


    Aside from Nnd Lee, there were no other life creatures or monsters at the scene.


    “Hmm, not bad. The resistance of shadow creatures to thunder and lightning energy is a negative 10%. I only used 1 million points of thunder and lightning energy to obliterate 15 Crawling Fears. Without counting the wasted energy, the cost per Crawling Fear was merely 66,000 points of energy,” he calcted thebat data silently, and felt reassured.


    Since thunder and lightning magic was so effective, there was no need for him to be as cautious as he had been before.


    Nnd Lee issued amand to the five Ground Drilling Mechanisms underground to drill full-force. <div>


    ...


    He then took out another 15 Spider Mechanisms and threw them into the three cave entrances on the wall.


    Each entrance was scouted by five Spider Mechanisms.


    Nnd Lee multitasked, controlling twenty Mechanos at the same time through the “Mind Beacon” on his magic ring.


    “If Nolin were here, that would be great. She’s much more adept at reconnaissance work than I am.”


    Suddenly, Nnd Lee pped his forehead as a brilliant idea popped into his head!


    “Eh? Right! If there’s no dy when I use ‘Mind View’ to observe Ind 33, regardless of the distance, doesn’t that mean Nolin could also control the Mechanos from a distance without worrying about dy?”


    Nnd Lee believed this approach was feasible.


    He manipted his thoughts and selected the “Tracking Mark” on Nolin, sent out “Mind Induction,” andmunicated with her across the distance.


    It was now afternoon.


    Nolin was teaching Alchemy ss to Nicolette on the second underground level.


    After receiving Nnd’smand, she turned and sat next to the magic ess meter.


    She simultaneously activated two Thought Threads.


    No.1 Mental Thread was used to attempt control of the Mechanos beside Nnd.


    No.2 Mental Thread was responsible for mapping theyout of the Moleman Cavern that Nnd was in, on the magic ess meter.


    After several minutes of adjustment, Nolin sessfully took over the control of the Ground Drilling Mechanism and the Spider Mechanism from Nnd.


    “Sir! I never thought I’d still be able to help you across such a distance!” Nolin cheered inwardly, her face brimming with a smile.


    Nnd Lee smiled and said,


    “I’m also somewhat surprised. It seems Mental Magic is more profound than we imagined. But let’s not discuss that now, help me find their of the shadow creatures. Be cautious, I can’t be certain if the shadow creatures are able to inflict a ‘Shadow Mental Impact’ on you all the way in the Suman Archipgo. You’d better sever the connection with the Mechanos immediately upon spotting them.”


    “Understood, Sir.”


    After understanding the characteristics of the Crawling Fear and the shadow pupa cocoon, Nolin began to control the Mechanos to scout the path.


    Twenty Mechanos, twenty Magic Vision screens, were arranged in four rows and five columns in Nnd’s mind.


    The images on the twenty Magic Vision screens started to move without Nnd having to do anything.


    Just as Nnd had guessed before, he was indeed within the Moleman Cavernplex.


    Departing from the cavern he was in, entering the three holes in the wall led to three different types of Moleman Caverns.


    The entrance to the far left led to the Molemen’s warehouse filled with mountains of Barren Stone.


    The middle entrance connected to a very spacious Underground Hall. On the Floor in the center of the hall, there was a Stone Ornament, handcrafted by the Molemen – a piece of stone with nail-carved engravings.


    The entrance on the right led to a mine with clear signs of extraction and fragments of Barren Stone scattered across the Floor.


    What was odd was that in the Magic Vision, no Molemen were to be seen, nor was there any dark green blood on the ground or walls.


    Thus, there was only one answer:


    All the Molemen in this cavernplex had be food for the shadow creatures.


    The rtionship between life creatures and shadow creatures was simr to that of Barren Stones and Molemen.


    How much shadow energy could an entire cavernplex of Molemen offer to shadow creatures and the Shadow Magic Array?


    Nnd Lee quietly awaited the results of Nolin’s reconnaissance.


    Nolin didn’t keep Nnd waiting for too long.


    However, the reconnaissance results were somewhat beyond Nnd’s expectations.


    About 300 meters beneath him was an underground hollow as big as a ser field.


    It might have been where the Molemen slept, with several horizontal Craters on the walls to amodate lying Molemen.


    The Floor of this underground hollow was littered with Molemen bones and hair, still devoid of blood.


    And in the center of these horrifying remains was a Magic Circle that had been freshly sabotaged not long ago.


    The framework of the Magic Circle consisted of Magic Metal Chains with high energy conductivity.


    The chains formed aplicated circr pattern on the Floor.


    In each of the three corners of the pattern was an empty space designed to host a magical device.


    Once the Magic Circle was activated, shadow energy would flow from the Shadow Demon Stone at the center of the circle along the Magic Metal Chains into the magical devices, causing some kind of magical phenomenon.


    This was a universally epted Magic Circle design in the Realm of Wizards.


    But now, this Magic Circle had been sliced, dissolved, and corroded by shadow energy, turning into a pile of metal scrap on the ground.


    Undoubtedly, after realizing that Nnd could easily wipe out shadow creatures, someone decisively destroyed the Shadow Magic Circle and took away all the shadow creatures.
