“Oh ho- I didn’t expect that, Philia and the others didn’t blindly step into the trap.”

Noland Lee chuckled in his heart, closed his eyes, and focused on controlling his Undead.

From the perspective of Undead Gustav at this moment, gray dust was blowing from behind, carrying a large amount of rubble, which was smashing against the walls with crackling sounds.

The Elemental Judgement team had indeed blasted the floor of Underground Layer 9.

On the ceiling of the Temporary Camp on Underground Layer 10, many centipede-like cracks appeared. Large pieces of stone bricks were sliding off the ceiling, falling to the ground.

With just one or two more ordinary Alchemy Bombs, the barrier between Layers 9 and 10 would be shattered.

“Damn it! Those cunning bitches didn’t use the staircase!”

Blackbone Hermit Kodaman suddenly turned his head, seeing both the shattered ceiling and the two Alchemy Slaves running towards him at an increasing pace.

Undead Gustav opened his right arm, making a hug gesture, as if enthusiastically embracing an old friend, and held Kodaman tightly. Another Undead lunged, leaping two meters in the air and hugged Kodaman’s legs with both arms, not giving him a chance to move.

Without waiting for Kodaman and the nearby Alchemy Slaves to react, Undead Gustav raised his dangling left arm forcefully.

“Boom!!!”

Kodaman and the Alchemy Slaves were swallowed by the massive blaze before they could understand the situation!

These four Alchemy Bombs, worthy of being regulated items, directly triggered a long-lasting, small-scale earthquake with their impact.

The stone bricks around the center of the explosion cracked, instantly creating countless shard-filled bullet holes. The floor and ceiling were blown open with large holes, with sand and rubble pouring down.

Noland Lee held onto the door panel and opened his eyes on the trembling floor.

He held his head, his eyebrows furrowed and his face full of pain.

Gasping for breath, he quickly recovered from the backlash of the Soul Link.

“Hey, I must say, the pain suppression effect of ‘Breath of the Dead’ is awesome. It even suppressed the death-related pain passed on by ‘Soul Link’. The pain this time is far less than when the Cavern Stalker was shattered by Murphy. It seems that I have to keep ‘Breath of the Dead’ active from now on to embrace the death of the ‘Soul Link’ target.”

Noland Lee wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the system message in his mind, and smiled.

A First-Order Black Bone Hermit plus six Alchemy Slaves, a total of seven enemies, had all been bombed in one fell swoop.

Since he had already unlocked the standard panels for the “First-Order Black Bone Hermit” and “Alchemy Slave”, Noland Lee did not receive Energy Points reward.

However, he still triggered Passive Deconstruction and obtained the recent memories of Kodaman and the Alchemy Slaves.

The system in his mind refreshed a large amount of text content, which also included some skill level-up information.

As Noland Lee read the deconstruction results, he also observed Hickman Arlington in the Elemental Judgement team.

As for how to know what Hickman Arlington was doing, it was much simpler.

Noland Lee faced the Metal Gate, activated “Tracking the Living” and looked at the corridor of Sector 8 through the gate.

After seeing the sights in his Magic Vision, he shook his head in disappointment.

“No good. The range of ‘Tracking the Living’ is not large enough; I can’t even see the temporary campsite. I need to expand the observation range of Magic Vision by at least 60 meters before I can monitor the movements of the temporary campsite.”

Noland Lee brought out the Spell interface of ‘Tracking the Living’, consumed 350 Energy Points in one breath, and decisively upgraded this frequently used Death Series Spell to Level 10.

[System Message: ]

[The horizontal range of ‘Tracking the Living’ vision is increased by 50 meters, which is now 110 meters. The vertical range is increased by 25 meters, which is now 55 meters.]

[The level of ‘Tracking the Living’ has broken through to Level 10, triggering an upgrade reward.] [Please choose one of the following three options:]

[Option One:]

[The vision range of ‘Tracking the Living’ is greatly enhanced, expanding to

220 meters in the horizontal direction and 110 meters in the vertical direction.]

[Option Two:]

[ ‘Tracking the Living’ transforms into ‘Life and Death Tracking’. The vision range remains the same, but you can now see the living, corpses, and Undead at the same time. Continuing to upgrade this skill will increase the vision range.]

[Option Three:]

[‘Tracking the Living’ transforms into ‘Peering at the Living’. The vision range remains the same, but you can now vaguely see the blood flow mode and the status of important organs inside the living body. Further upgrading this skill will allow you to choose between increasing the vision range or enhancing the viewing effect.]

“Hiss… Which one do I choose?”

Noland Lee slapped his forehead as he suffered from difficulty in making a decision.

Although he couldn’t see the temporary camp right now, vivid human body outlines had already appeared in his Magic Vision.

As long as he consumed some more Energy Points and upgraded ‘Tracking the Undead’, he would be able to better observe the Elemental Judgement team.

So ‘Option One’ has a low priority.

‘Option Two’ allows for tracking both the Undead and corpses.

‘Option Three’ is specifically for the living, peering into their physiological structure.

Considering that he currently has more death-related spells in hand, ‘Option Two’ should be the best choice.

Noland Lee clenched his fist, tapped his palm, nodded, and silently said,

“I choose Option Two..”
