Chapter 1248: Elite Sitting Position
The “Sound Seeker Technique” had wall-detection capabilities that far exceeded Noland Lee’s expectations.
The stone wall was about two ters thick, composed of two layers of heavy square stone bricks.
There was almost no gap between the stone bricks, not even a blade could penetrate.
Under these circumstances, the sound waves of the “Sound Seeker Technique” still penetrated the stone wall, reaching the outside of the stone wall and entering the corridor adjacent to the Treasure Room.
As for the lighting in the corridor, Noland Lee did not know as sound waves could not capture information related to light.
But Noland Lee was certain that the corridor was littered with bones, piled up more than half a ter high, which would likely be difficult for ordinary people to walk through such rough terrain.
...
As the sound waves transmitted further, more and more blurred scenes appeared in Noland Lee’s mind, and he faintly detected a series of hurried and sowhat panicked footsteps.
“There, about two hundred ters diagonally above my head, the footsteps are coming from there,” he said.
Noland Lee tried to turn his head toward the source of the sound, but failed due to the Power of Senati.
He gave up the attempt to concentrate on the sound source and grunted once more, releasing several more sound waves.
The footsteps temporarily disappeared; the group of presud creatures had stopped.
About two seconds later, a very familiar sound ca from above, clear enough to be heard even without the “Sound Seeker Technique.”
“Bang… Bang… Bang…”
The dense gunfire was mostly blocked by the thick walls, only leaving behind sporadic, faint vibrations by the ti they reached the Treasure Room where Noland Lee was.
“A battle has erupted above… Which group from the interstellar ships that landed is exchanging gunfire with whom?” Noland Lee pondered closely.
From the sound of the battle, the combatants were using kinetic energy firearms, not excluding the use of quietly operated suppressive weapons such as laser weapons.
“Boom——”
A more pronounced explosion occurred, and a shower of dust fell from the ceiling.
This must have been the disturbance caused by explosives.
Noland Lee released sound waves.
The feedback from the “Sound Seeker Technique” stirred his thoughts slightly.
The group of creatures engaged in gunfire had suddenly closed the distance to him.
The space between them had reduced from the original vertical drop of two hundred ters to about one hundred fifty ters now.
This happened after the explosion.
So, the group was using explosivesto forcefully break through the floor of the underground building and move vertically downwards, trying to approach a target faster.
Noland Lee’s eyes swept over the gold and jewels in the Treasure Room, his skeleton face subtly changing color…
Those guys wouldn’t be coming for him, would they?
No, more precisely, they would be coming for the treasure beside him.
Noland Lee realized that his situation seed sowhat perilous.
He could not be sure if those ard with thermal weapons and explosives would spare him, this skeleton fra.
With that thought, Noland Lee decided to do sothing.
He thought of the bones in the corridor, those things could serve as his casting materials.
Provided he could, under the effect of the Power of Senati, activate Death Magic and summon Death Servants.
Noland Lee just thought to inquire with the “Heart of Magic” but suddenly felt a strange force coming from deeper underground, swiftly passing through the Treasure Room and nearby corridors.
A line of System Text appeared in his mind.
[Due to unknown factors, the duration of “Power of Senati” has been reduced to 6 minutes.]
“Click, click, click…”
A series of crisp sounds ca from beneath the piled-up treasures, and a large group of bones erged, forming several hundred hollow-eyed skeleton warriors.
“Is this Death Magic?” Noland Lee wondered internally.
Given that the “Wizard” Plane Core was still in the Inner Cosmos, and he was the only wizard in the Outer Space, he dismissed this speculation.
“It’s not Death Magic; I didn’t feel any fluctuations of Death Energy. It must be so other extraordinary power that can also awaken the dead, transforming these bone fras into skeleton warriors. My duration for the ‘Power of Senati’ must have been reduced because of this power,” he concluded.
Noland Lee quickly recalled the Outer Space knowledge imparted by the Scroll Angel.
The Outer Space could be described as a lting pot, containing all kinds of extraordinary powers, among which there were many similar to Death Magic.
There weren’t a few things capable of summoning skeleton warriors on a large scale.
The Deities of the Dark Series of Gods, to which the Gatherer of the Dead belonged, basically all possessed the power to manipulate death.
Beyond that, all cosmic creatures rooted in death—such as Starry Sky Bone Behemoths, Death Floating Star Clusters, and the like—could also achieve this.
The planet with the reddish-brown soil below did not look like cosmic behemoths.
Thus, the power controlling the skeleton warriors was likely related to the Dark Deities.
Noland Lee reached a preliminary conclusion.
He huffed loudly and released a sound wave directed downwards.
The sound wave, weakened by both the soil and stone bricks, perford considerably worse than it had detecting the corridor.
Luckily, Noland Lee was not entirely without findings.
Directly below at about a thousand ters, he vaguely sensed a nefarious thought.
Indeed, it was a nefarious thought.
The ntal impurity of this thought, along with the sound waves reflected by the “Sound Seeker Technique,” penetrated into Noland Lee’s mind, causing him to see an undulating sea of death made of bones.
A system ssage also arrived at the sa ti.
