Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 549 Key Information
Both parties were obviously stunned by the sudden encounter, but the infiltration team led by Duff reacted first. Although the commander did not give any orders, the next second they all drew out their alchemical daggers and thorns, which showed their rich combat experience.

Daf took a deep breath, pushed his legs hard against the hard tunnel floor, and rushed towards the enemy with the thorn in his hand... Five or six black lizardmen scattered in an instant, and the red lizardman surrounded in the center suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and a red light burst out from its palm like lightning, shooting straight towards Daf.

In a flash, Daf twisted his waist and turned over on his back, brushing past the red light with his body sideways, and instantly got close to a black lizard man standing at the outermost edge. The sharp spike silently pierced into the opponent's neck. After the spike was pulled out, dark red blood mixed with thick black water rushed out from the finger-sized puncture hole.

The enemy finally reacted, covering his neck with his hands as the blood hissed out, and fell to the ground twitching.

With almost no pause, the Bloodline Warrior's powerful body curled up and crashed into the arms of another enemy again. What greeted him was the crystal shield that the opponent had erected in panic using black water... A cold light flashed across Daf's palm, and the sharp points on the black shield created a shiny spark, but failed to pierce into the enemy's shell as expected.

Vice Captain Callum also launched an attack almost at the same time. The alchemical dagger in his hand spun out a halo flexibly, and lightly slashed across the throat of a black lizard man from the other side. Dark red sticky blood flowed down the knotted muscles of his forearm. The tiny black thorns ejected from the enemy's wrist all hit the facial skin used for camouflage, and the dark red crystal mask was shot and shattered like a spider web.

The extremely narrow corridor suddenly became the stage for a bloody battle between the two team leaders. Red lightning bombarded the soft inner wall of the corridor, blasting a deep pit the size of a head. Slippery and sticky tissue fluid splashed out, causing the inner wall to wriggle violently. The breach contracted wildly, and it seemed to tremble like a living thing.

"Is this thing alive?" The soldier in charge of holding up the magic stone with the image recorded exclaimed in a low voice. He immediately turned the light mist of the magic stone and carefully recorded it out of his mission.

A soldier who had awakened his violent bloodline had his muscles bulging all over his body, tearing the tough skin camouflage apart. He roared and rushed into the enemy group with two daggers in his hands, and directly knocked away two black lizardmen who had raised crystal shields. However, he also happened to face the second red lightning shot out by the red lizardman.

With a crackling sound, a puff of green smoke rose from the tall body of the violent warrior. The plasma turbulence caused by the lightning explosion ran rampant on his body surface. The brief electric shock paralysis immediately hindered his violent collision momentum. He fell to the ground at the same time after entangled with an enemy who condensed a black water long sword.

The crystal visor that was originally loosely attached to the face of the violent soldier fell down hard, and it fell off immediately. The entangled black lizard man seemed to be stunned for a moment, and finally saw clearly the twisted beast face behind the visor, the sharp protruding fangs... and the scarlet and ferocious eyes.

The paralyzed body made it impossible for the violent soldier to struggle to his feet for a while, but after his disguise was exposed, his ferocity was aroused. Facing the enemy who had both fallen to the ground with him, he simply grinned and hit the opponent's face with a heavy headbutt.

With a crisp sound, the black lizard man's mask shattered, and more red light burst out from the cracks, electrocuting the soldier so much that he kicked his legs and became motionless.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have brought this idiot into the operation!" Dave cursed inwardly in confusion. The violent bloodline can indeed make one immune to many non-fatal injuries in battle, and has a very high tolerance for injuries and pain... but the shortcomings are equally fatal. He is too reckless and stupid, and as bloodthirsty and crazy as a beast, difficult to control himself.

Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, this sudden encounter swiftly annihilated over half the enemy. The three remaining black lizardmen, surrounding the red lizard leader, retreated repeatedly, seemingly considering turning and fleeing. The leader, having unleashed two red light attacks in such a short period of time, now looked somewhat sluggish, demonstrating that each attack consumed a certain amount of energy and that they could not use this terrifying, alien magic attack indefinitely.

"Intercept them!" Duff gave the order decisively, and the remaining bloodline warriors who had been eager to try immediately understood. A soldier who had awakened the talent of great strength even pulled up the corpse of the enemy on the ground, swung it around and smashed it directly at the opponent.

In the crowded battle, Daf suddenly groaned. When he turned his head, he found that the skin camouflage on his shoulder had been torn by the muscles. The exposed part was pierced by a crystal thorn that came from nowhere. However, the flesh and blood at the wound were wriggling and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly squeezing out the crystal thorn.

The soldier nicknamed "Spider" jumped up lightly, and with his flexible blood talent, he stepped on the soft side wall of the corridor and flipped over the crowded front battlefield, landing steadily behind the enemy and directly blocking their retreat route.

The limp red lizardman suddenly fell on his back, and a tiny red electric current shone from his crystal visor and hit the flickering glowing crystal above his head with a snap, causing it to instantly change into a breathing and flickering form, turning into a dim stream of light and streaking towards the far end of the corridor.

"They may be warning their companions and asking for help!" Duff instantly guessed the other party's purpose, and after a low shout, he pounced on the remaining enemies again - he must solve the trouble in front of him as soon as possible, and then leave this corridor and move to other areas to avoid possible reinforcements!
The black lizardmen all condensed black water whips and crystal shields, defending themselves with difficulty while trying their best to entangle the enemy... The soldier with great strength talent ignored the sharp spikes on the whip, grabbed the scabbard and pulled hard, pulling the black lizardmen staggering out from the shrinking defensive circle. His rough, bloody fingers pressed down on the opponent's head, and the sound of bone cracking was heard instantly.

Taking advantage of the enemy's defensive gap, Duff and Callum dodged to the left and right, and the sharp edges flashed with cold light, accurately piercing the temples of the last two black lizardmen, and then narrowly avoided a red light from the red lizardman that was almost in his face.

After barely holding out one last burst of red light, the red lizard man's swollen sacs beside his ears shrank, and he slowly slid down to the ground with his back against the inner wall of the tunnel. He tilted his head slightly and died.

Dave snorted coldly, turned the spike upside down and was about to smash it towards the opponent's crown... but in an instant he found that the wall of the tunnel that the enemy was leaning on suddenly trembled and squirmed, and then suddenly opened a crack and quickly swallowed the red lizard man's body in one gulp.

The team looked around in shock and found that the corpses of the black lizardmen who had just died in the fierce battle were slowly melting into the originally hard ground of the corridor in the smelly black liquid flowing all over the ground.

Dave frowned as he heard footsteps approaching rapidly from the left side of the corridor. He spoke hoarsely to the soldiers, "Something's wrong! This floating island fortress... seems to be a huge, strange, living thing! Let's push towards the other side!"
