Chapter 1160: 361. Chance Encounter with an Acquaintance_2

Long-term erosion by Death Energy twisted their psyches, causing severe emotional fluctuations and a clear tendency towards violence.

They thought by tilting Death Energy beams towards the Pipeline and Nexus or by summoning the Skeletal Scythe to strike, they could improve the flow of energy within.

But in fact, this only exacerbated the energy leakage.

Dozens of cracks, half a meter long, appeared on the Energy Pipeline, spewing out gray Soul Energy.

Realizing their mistake, the Undead Spirits grew even more irritable, shrieking orders to their Living Corpses and Skeletons to fill the gaps.

For a moment, a massive amount of bone shards and flesh rushed into the pipeline, contaminating the Soul Energy within.

The blood and death carried by these contaminants, along with the Soul Energy, drifted towards the distant Signal Tower…

“Stop, you fools!”

“You’re only making things worse!”

“Idiots! You’ve damaged the pipeline! I will tell Lord Demon Bone!”

“Nonsense! I saw you fire ‘Death Finger’ at the pipeline!”

The scene was chaotic, while the corner with the Death Steel Soldiers was eerily quiet, presenting a stark contrast.

“Clang clang clang…”

Faint yet rhythmic running sounds came from the Underground Tunnel, growing closer and closer.

The Death Steel Soldier Commander stared with black eyes, emotionlessly running out of the tunnel and landing with a smack on the High Platform.

From his elevated position, he looked down at the quarreling Undead Spirits, murmuring indifferently yet with a hint of disgust:

“Broobi baab boopee…”

Um.. What is it saying, it sounds so haughty, but why does its tone seem so comical…

Noland Lee, hiding in the shadows, caught the Death Steel Soldier Commander’s words exactly.

He momentarily suppressed his concerns about Sully to focus on the situation at hand.

Archelon the fellow hadn’t been assigned a deputy, and Demon Bone had always believed he had no chance of escaping, so no close confidants were arranged to secretly learn Archelon’s “Technique.”

Now, with Archelon gone, the Soul Factory was essentially left leaderless.

Until another technical genius emerged, the chaos in the Soul Factory wouldn’t cease.

Noland Lee thought carefully and suddenly recognized what made Archelon unique.

It seemed he had a very good resistance to Death Energy, not falling into mental disarray due to its corruption.

This directly led to him retaining almost all his engineering experience after becoming an Undead Spirit, and he could combine it with Death Magic.

Such a talent, the Undead Cult might have carefully selected and nurtured for many years, yet they only produced one “Archelon.”

Now with the chaos in the Soul Factory and the Ceremony Site, and the disappearance of Archelon and Lophi causing the Undead Cult headaches, Noland Lee felt it was time to leave.

Moreover, the magical runes for “Magic Theft” wouldn’t be discovered by others.

Later, once he heard that the Undead Cult was trying to activate the Signal Tower again, Noland Lee would just need to bring the Magic Gem, activate the magical runes, and collect the Soul Energy.

Noland Lee inquired if the Assassin Angel was ready to withdraw.
