Chapter 69: 58. Energy Explosion! (2 in 1)

Translator: 549690339

First Underground Level.

The frontlines were ablaze with the fires of battle.

All squads were performing their duties according to the defensive formations Sergeant Alvin Stafford had set up earlier, launching fierce attacks against the sea of skeletons.

Mars Squad was assigned to Barrier 8, using a water-cooled light machine gun to resist the enemy.

However, the members of Mars Squad either died or were injured.

The only two who were still alive and energetic were Noland Lee, the Sin Soldier who had no command authority, and the sergeant who had never returned to the first underground level.

As a result, Barrier 8 fell into a paralyzed state.

Inside this barrier, made up of gray worm obstacles, Noland Lee was the only one waiting silently…

At this moment, Noland Lee was sitting in a corner.

His face was pale, his expression was dazed, his eyes were unfocused, as if he had suffered some serious psychic trauma.

If someone saw him like this, they would definitely think that he had been scared silly by Pim’s interrogations.

But it wasn’t so.

Maintaining his silly expression for more than ten seconds, his eyes suddenly brightened, and the corners of his mouth turned up, laughing happily.

His laughter was genuine and refreshing, like finally being relieved of a burden on his heart.

“Hehe! As expected, I can only rely on myself- If it weren’t for my Cavern

Stalker, which was laying in ambush on the path of Pim’s escape in advance, Pim might indeed have escaped…”

As Noland Lee laughed, he accidentally touched the faintly painful nerves in his head, gritting his teeth and rubbing his skull to stop his laughter.

Recalling the scenes from before, Noland Lee sighed with relief amidst his excitement.

About ten minutes ago, he encountered a Cavern Stalker in the staircase.

He reached out with both hands, groped inside the disgusting body of the Cavern Stalker, and quickly found the bone card embedded in the seams of the bones.

He pulled out the Cavern Stalker’s bone card, and inserted his own in its place.

It was like plugging in and unplugging a USB drive.

He wasn’t sure if doing so would give him control over the Cavern Stalker.

But fortunately, he guessed right.

The system sent him a message, confirming that his approach was entirely feasible.

[You have plundered a summoned creature, Cavern Stalker, by modifying the logical instructions.]

[Since you have already unlocked the universal panel of “Cavern Stalker,” you can obtain its panel information without consuming additional Energy Points.]

[Panel information of the summoned creature is as follows:]

[Name] Cavern Stalker

[Sutured Life] 300 points

Sutured Life is a unique life attribute for undead sutured creatures.

This life attribute is quite special and does not recover automatically like the health of organic life forms. Only by suturing new undead materials to the sutured creature can its health be enhanced.

[Soul Strength] 1 point

Equivalent to the “core health” of undead creatures. Only when Soul Strength reaches zero, the undead creature will die completely.

[Death Energy] 10/10

Equivalent to the “stamina” of undead creatures.

[Skills]

Active Skills:

Swift Lash, Level 6.

Consumes 2 points of Death Energy, and emits a whip. This skill can accurately strike within a range of ten meters, posing a high threat.

Burrow Travel, Level 15.

Consumes 1 point of Death Energy, and moves 15 meters in any direction through hard soil or walls.

Passive Skills:

Stone Pattern Disguise, highest level.

Uses stone-patterned skin created from suturing materials to camouflage itself as a stone brick.

Since the undead creatures have no life signs, this disguise can not only evade the naked eye search, but also shield many detection methods such as infrared and heartbeat sensing.

Lost Souls Revive, Level 1, no longer effective.

The bone card you made was not recognized by the Spirit Pivot. Therefore, even if this undead creature is within the influence range of the Spirit Pivot, it cannot be revived by using the Spirit Pivot.

Soul Link, Level 1.

When you input action instructions into the bone card, you boldly opened the

“Soul Link.”

This allows you to sense the surroundings of the summoned creature with your soul and personally control the creature.

In return, the summoned creature’s pain will be fed back to you through the Soul Link, causing your brain and spirit to enter a temporary state of confusion.

This so-called “Soul Link” is the main culprit behind Noland Lee’s headache and dazedness.

When he input the action instructions into the bone card, the system sent him a large amount of information.

The general idea of the information was:

“Hey, buddy, do you want to add the ‘Soul Link’ feature? This thing is really useful, allowing you to command summoned creatures as if they were an extension of your arm! Using it to command undead creatures is far more efficient than mechanized instructions… just a bit painful…”

In order to ensure the success of the plan, Noland Lee agreed without a second thought.

Only now did he know that the so-called ‘a bit painful’ was genuine pain.

He could indeed control the Cavern Stalker personally.

However, the intense pain when the Cavern Stalker was killed by someone was also fed back to him through the Soul Link.

And the person who killed the Cavern Stalker was Marsha Murphy.

The weapon she used was a frost dragon head transformed from her arm.

All of these scenes were seen by Noland Lee through the ‘Soul Link.’

“I really didn’t expect Marsha Murphy to use part of her extraordinary abilities without fully transforming into a Biochemical Giant. Is this a unique attack method for those at the captain’s level of strength? “And yet her extraordinary abilities are related to dragons….”
