I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 209 Elena

Only when he actually entered the floating island did Li Nuo feel firsthand how majestic the giant tower was.

The Sword-class frigate is about 1.6 kilometers long, but the diameter of the giant tower is more than three times that.

What is even more exaggerated is the height of the giant tower.

Judging from the situation, it might take more than twenty Sword-class frigates stacked together to reach the top of the giant tower.

Compared to the tower, the Sword-class frigate was like a shoe, and the darkwood jungle on the ground formed a fuzzy black carpet.

"What a strange sight! It's hard to imagine how many similar ancient ruins there are hidden in the warp."

Li Nuo sighed inwardly and looked away from the porthole.

He was in the ventilation duct on the lower deck of the frigate. Below him was the shuttle's landing pad, where people waiting to undergo psychic transformation were queuing up to board the shuttle.

Open the system interface and try to activate the bacteria ability - subspace walking.

[You are in a "reality bubble", which is a force field space, not the real real universe. ]

[You do not meet the prerequisites for fading out of the "real universe", and you cannot enter the subspace surface. ]

【Subspace walking failed. 】

【Please escape from the "reality bubble" and try again. 】

Warp walking is disabled.

This has both disadvantages and advantages.

The downside is that you can’t pass through walls, ignore physical barriers, and come and go freely.

The advantage is that you now have an extra trick to identify your surroundings.

The Four Hawkers are good at using illusions and chaos to deceive humans.

There are cat-eared beast girls in Slaanesh's palace, paradox spaces in Tzeentch's labyrinth, psychedelic soup in Nurgle's garden, and Rogal Dorn on Khorne's Plain of Skulls.

These chaotic realms have almost completely real environments, which can easily make people mistakenly think that they are in the real universe.

Li Nuo thought to himself that he would not be confused by the chaotic realm.

When he arrived in an unfamiliar place, his first reaction was to activate the bacterial ability to protect himself.

If the activation of the warp walking fails, it means that he has fallen into the trap of the four vendors, otherwise he will be safe.

Subspace walking, great!
Li Nuo calmed himself, remained invisible, slid from the ventilation duct to the ground, and followed the crowd out of the frigate.

Just as he was about to step out of the outer hatch, he retracted his outstretched foot, frowned, and stared at the grass on the ground.

The leaves are slender and twisted like Medusa's hair, and the mucus on the surface is like poison, emitting a faint blue-purple light.

There is something wrong with these grasses.

The light they emitted gave Li Nuo a bad feeling.

After casting an identification spell, his uneasiness was confirmed by the results.

[Name: Bone Drinker Bush]

[Description: Every blade of grass in the bush is infected by the Bone Drinker. The Bone Drinker uses the blades of grass as pressure sensors to detect invisible uninvited guests, such as you.]

The gravity parameters within the floating island are relatively low, only about a quarter of Terra's, and the atmosphere is thin, with air density comparable to that of near-ground orbit.

Ships of the Imperium of Mankind can rest on the ground in such conditions without suffering structural damage from air pressure.

But this does not mean that Li Nuo can fly over the grass in a low-gravity environment and directly enter the gate of the giant tower.

How to safely cross the ground covered with "pressure sensors" in front of him has become Li Nuo's biggest headache at the moment.

Can you avoid pressure monitoring by clinging to the transport vehicle and not letting the grass touch you?
Li Nuo looked at the personnel carrier that was leaving the ship and rejected this idea.

The pressure sensor can dynamically display the pressure.

The pressure caused by the car and its passengers is a fixed value.

After you stand on it, the actual pressure value will differ from the theoretical value, thus exposing your whereabouts.

When grass blades are used as pressure sensors, their accuracy may not be as high as that of electronic instruments and they may not be able to detect relatively small pressure changes.

But Li Nuo didn't dare to gamble on this probability.

He prefers to use safe methods, such as vibration therapy.

Li Nuo avoided the passing crowds and vehicles and moved to the outer armor plate of the ship along the outer hatch.

He used his hands and feet, and adopted a rock climbing method to gain leverage at the joints of the armor, climbing all the way up, completing the feat of reaching the top of the ship with his bare hands.

Players and cloud players who have played "Gothic Fleet" should know that there is a laser array on the middle deck of the Sword-class frigate.

The platform where the laser cannon is located is spacious and open, very suitable for Li Nuo to practice vibration techniques.

He simulated the scene of "stepping on stairs" in his mind, imagining that when he took a step, an air brick would appear under the soles of his feet.

"Da, da, da, da..."

The air under the sole of the foot was compressed and bounced up, precisely coordinating with the footsteps and lifting Li Nuo's body.

The sound of the soles of the feet colliding with the air bricks was both crisp and regular, and the "Brother Mao's Quiet" force field covered it up well and did not alarm the crowd below.

Li Nuo walked step by step, gradually becoming familiar with the technique of using vibration magic to construct an air corridor.

Looking at the towering tower in the distance, Li Nuo relied on his ability to float in the air and simply did not go through the main entrance. Instead, he found a window in mid-air and went in.

He curled up his body and stood on the half-meter square stone brick window frame, looking at the floor vigilantly.

There were scattered blue and purple weeds on the inky black wooden floor.

They grow in the cracks of the floor and are tenacious and dangerous.

After casting an identification spell, Li Nuo confirmed that these were also grass leaves infected by the Bone Drinkers, and secretly reminded himself to avoid them.

Li Nuo's eyes swept across the empty corridor. The strange architectural style made him stare slightly.

At first glance, the wall appears to be covered with spider-web-like cracks, but a closer look reveals that they are countless pleated carvings that look almost the same as real clothes.

The carving art here was so lifelike that Li Nuo could not help but be dazzled.

He had seen a short video before he traveled through time.

The video shows a lifelike stone sculpture of a masked woman. The texture and folds of the mask on the sculpture are similar to real silk, but it was carved out of rock by a stone sculptor.

The corridor where he was at this moment was filled with reliefs of the same level, which was simply dazzling.

"Calm down, calm down. We can study art later. The most urgent task is to find the plasma reactor that gives the giant tower its function. If we blow up the reactor, this floating island will be ruined. But before we really start, I have to search for information here and find out key information such as the distribution of Bone Drinkers in the real universe."

As his thoughts raced, Li Nuo activated his bacterial ability - vibration sensing, trying to find the unique low roar of the plasma reactor when it was operating.

"Ding ding dong dong..." The liquid flows in the pipe.

“Ahhhhhh…” Many people were screaming in various places in the giant tower, as if they were suffering inhuman torture.

Chaotic sounds filled my mind, making my head feel dizzy and painful.

Li Nuo endured the discomfort and continued to monitor.

"Buzzing..."

The roar of the plasma reactor suddenly appeared.

"found it!"

Li Nuo opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, but was surprised to find that the roar came from the frigate outside.

"Okay, it was a misunderstanding."

Li Nuo closed his eyes and immersed himself in monitoring again.

A few minutes later, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
"It's strange. There are all kinds of mechanical equipment and electronic instruments on this island, but why is there no plasma reactor? There is not even a similar power generation device. Could it be that the energy used by the Bone Drinkers is conjured out of thin air?"

Li Nuo frowned and looked at the wall lamp in the corridor, suspecting that the Bone Drinkers had used special means to protect the power generation device.

In this case, I can only resort to the stupid method.

He used vibration magic to create air brick footrests and hovered in front of the wall lamp, maintaining vibration sensing and searching deeply for the static noise made by electricity passing through the transformer.

Where there's static, there are wires.

The place where wires are most densely packed is usually the pipeline center.

In the pipeline hub, the thickest pipeline is most likely extending from the power generation device.

Following this logic, Li Nuo walked and stopped in the huge tower, passing by many tragic psychic transformation scenes.

The Bone Drinkers are so deranged that they frantically pump ghostly potions into their subjects, forcing their bodies to absorb its ingredients.

Multiple limbs grew on the body surface, ulcers and sores appeared one after another, and strange scales undulated like waves.

The patients struggled, screamed, and wailed, but it was of no avail. The Bone Drinkers who performed the operation on them did not care whether they lived or died.

These chilling scenes reminded Li Nuo of the CG "Death of Hope" made by Warhammer fan enthusiasts.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Li Nuo encountered the first pipeline hub.

The moment he saw this thing, he suddenly realized it.

It turns out that the electrical energy used by the instruments and equipment is converted from subspace energy.

An energy conversion device made of spirit bones, placed in a closed space surrounded by glass walls.

It looks similar to a ship's rudder, and its "handrail" is connected to pipelines that output electricity to the outside.

On its base there is a glass tube as thick as a bowl, and inside the tube is subspace energy of constantly changing colors.

"This thing is truly amazing. How does it convert the energy of the warp into electrical energy? Could it be the masterpiece of the Eldar?"

Li Nuo began to think subconsciously.

System text pop-up.

[Searching Bond 4's genetic knowledge base for the correct mechanical wizardry.]

【Search completed.】

【Search results: 1 item. 】

【Name: Pointy-eared generator.】

[Learning cost: 10 skill points.] [Description:]

[This is an Ork device that imitates the Wraithbone Generator, which can extract energy from the subspace and convert it into electrical energy. ]

[The operator must be a Psychic Boy. ]

[Attention! The act of extracting energy from the subspace will inevitably lead to hostility from the creatures of the subspace.]

[Please be careful when producing and using this orc device. 】

Li Nuo's eyes lit up slightly.

Once upon a time, he longed to unlock mechanical wizardry such as the Warp Energy Extractor, but he never succeeded.

I didn't expect that he would figure it out at this time!

This dive was really worth it.

Regardless of whether it can be used or not, I will exchange this thing first. Anyway, I am not short of simulation points now.

[You consume 100 million simulation points to redeem mechanical sorcery. ]

Ancient knowledge surged in his mind, then returned to calm within a few seconds.

Li Nuo glanced at the direction of the subspace energy pipeline, exploring its source.

There are more people in black robes on the road ahead.

They carry strong spiritual energy fluctuations.

The feedback from the device showed that these people were bone drinkers, and their psychic power level was at least Delta level.

The process of moving forward became difficult. Li Nuo had to wait for the patrol personnel to move away from time to time before he dared to cross the corridor filled with psychic lightning.

When he was about to reach the end, he had to stop.

Three Bone Drinkers stood in the middle of the road, working together to cast a psychic shield to completely block the way.

Behind these three people is a golden door that is more than 10 meters high. It is thick, hard, and has anti-psychic effects.

The pipeline that transports subspace energy extends from the house behind the golden gate. Presumably, that is where some kind of energy engine is located.

"Well, let's stop here for now. Once I have the cationic explosives ready, I will plan a directional blasting plan. Now it's time to search for information and intelligence on the Bone Drinkers. After the Palu fleet returns, I will start arranging a surprise attack to inflict heavy damage on the Bone Drinkers."

Li Nuo pondered secretly and prepared to return the same way to search for the key places in his memory.

After walking some distance in the spacious corridor, two muffled bangs were heard from the golden door.

Li Nuo slowed down his pace and looked back vigilantly.

The three Bone Drinkers who blocked their way with psychic shields did the same.

As bone drinkers, they could have communicated through the mental network, but for some reason they spoke at this moment.

"That guy is restless again."

"My head hurts."

"The spiritual energy fluctuations inside the gate are stronger than before. That damn bastard has cut off our spiritual communication. Go and inform the Venerable!"

The three of them covered their heads and muttered something that sounded somewhat painful, with their psychic shields flickering.

One of them broke away from the group and started running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Your Excellency! That Eldar is trying to escape from prison again!"

Eldar!

There are actually elves here.

Thinking back to the exquisite reliefs he saw along the way, Li Nuo seemed to understand something.

This floating island may have originally belonged to the Eldar, but somehow fell into the hands of the Bone Drinkers.

The Bone Drinkers commandeered the Eldar's energy facilities and transformed them into places for psychic surgery.

The core of the energy facility should be related to the Eldar. It cannot function without the Eldar. Therefore, the Bone Drinkers did not kill the Eldar, but imprisoned them in the golden gate.

This reasoning was well-founded and Li Nuo himself was convinced.

“Da da da da da…”

The sound of dense footsteps came from afar, and a group of black-robed psychics swarmed in.

As soon as they approached the golden gate, they all covered their foreheads and groaned.

"Damn, my head hurts..."

"Our mental communication has been severed..."

"Why are the psychic powers of the Eldar bastards getting stronger and stronger?"

"Shut up and be quiet!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

One person gave an order, and the others immediately closed their mouths and looked at this person with fear and admiration.

This person should be the Venerable mentioned by the Bone Drinker, that is, the mysterious man who calls himself "Mocha".

Li Nuo moved to the ceiling about ten meters above the ground to avoid contact with the Bone Drinkers below.

The current situation is in my favor.

Without the means of mental communication, the Bone Drinkers could gain access to information that would multiply several times.

"Raise the psychic shield, follow me, don't fall behind."

Mocha ordered in a cold voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone, and was the first to release the psychic shield and ran towards the door.

The Bone Drinker guarding the gate maintained the shield while struggling to open the door using telekinesis.

"Rumble..."

The heavy metal door rubbed against the ground, and the true appearance of the interior space was slowly revealed.

In the center of the empty room, an Eldar sat cross-legged.

Six chain-like psychic lines stretched out from the corner of the room, tying its neck, wrists, ankles, waist and abdomen.

The Eldar were wearing tattered gold-white armor, a light grey cloak behind them, a pointed helmet on their heads, their faces covered by masks, and a psychic rune with a "Tai Chi" pattern on their chests.

Warp energy flowed out from the armor and flowed along the psychic pipelines to the energy center of the giant tower. The "Tai Chi" rune on the chest flickered.

Li Nuo had never studied the elves before traveling through time, so he had no idea why the "Tai Chi" pattern appeared on the elves.

But that didn't stop him from taking action.

While the Bone Drinkers' attention was on the Eldar, Li Nuo continuously cast vibration spells, flew into the air, and sneaked into the gate from above the psychic shield.

Mocha shouted loudly from below:
"Elena! Don't waste your energy! This is the High Heaven! This is not the real universe! If you fight us to the death, you will only hurt yourself in the end!"

Elena.

Why does this name sound so familiar?

I seem to have heard it somewhere.

Li Nuo couldn't remember it for a while.

He suspected that he had seen the same name when he was handling official documents, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"boom!"

The shock wave started from Elena and quickly swept across the entire venue.

Li Nuo activated the vibration technique and condensed an air wall in front of him, barely blocking the sudden shock wave and thus avoiding exposing his tracks.

The Bone Drinker was protected by the psychic shield and was unharmed, but suddenly he felt a splitting headache.

Moka covered his head and roared:
"Use telekinesis to inject her with the drug! Quickly!"

The Bone Drinkers took out their syringes and pointed them at Elena.

"咻咻咻————"

The syringe shot out and hit the target accurately, and the piston was slowly pushed forward under the influence of telekinesis.

After a series of liquid squeezing sounds, the shock wave finally stopped, and the psychic interference that interrupted mental communication disappeared.

The syringe clinked to the ground, the liquid inside consumed.

Mocha snorted coldly and prepared to take his men away.

As soon as he turned around, the golden door slammed shut with a bang.

The device sent a warning of psychic fluctuations.

There was a spiritual energy of Alpha level that closed the heavy door.

The source of this wave of psychic energy fluctuations was Elena, who had just been injected with the potion.

Mocha discovered this as well.

When it turned back, it was too late.

The six chains tied to her body broke at the same time. Before the metal fragments fell to the ground, Elena rushed towards the Bone Drinker like lightning, so fast that a string of afterimages appeared in the air.

A straight punch was thrust out, and the Bone Drinker's psychic shield shattered like a bubble. Its body was pierced by the straight arm, and the huge impact force directly blew its body into pieces.

Elena's figure flashed, and in a flash she came to the other person, and punched him with the same straight punch, violently piercing the enemy.

The one-sided massacre began.

Elena's arm armor seems to be made of spiritual bones and has extremely strong resistance to chaos, and can even treat the psychic shield as nothing.

Her short-range fighting skills were even more straightforward and decisive. Every time she attacked, she would take the life of a Bone Drinker, either by chopping off the opponent's head or punching the heart.

The dirty blood and body parts exploded into bloody balls, which made Li Nuo terrified.

Half a minute later, the corpses of the Bone Drinkers were scattered all over the ground, and Elena stood in the center of the secret room with blood stains all over her body.

She crushed the parasitic spores on the ground with her toes, raised her head, and cast a cold look at the ceiling of the room.

Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat when his eyes met the other person's.

Holy shit, she can see me?!
