Chapter 107 The wave of undead flying on the wind
The wind picked up, and the icy wind blew the clothes of several shadow chasers, hunting and flying in the wind.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more black sand is carried in the wind. The black sand is so small that it is inconspicuous, but the feeling of hitting the face is getting more and more painful, and it will even leave thin lines on the skin. of white seal.

However, these have nothing to do with the Shadow Chasers.

With a "bang" sound, the cone-shaped roof of the building slowly closed, isolating the two worlds inside and outside.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooake right me..." across the building, you could hear the shrill wind whistling from outside, and the fine black sand beating against the outer walls of the buildings, but you didn't hear any sound.

"Ouch." The white wolf ran into the house with everyone, raised his head with his tail between his legs, and growled lowly at the closed roof, as if issuing a challenge.

"Actually, I don't mind if you say it directly." Xiuer rolled his eyes at the troublesome deer and said angrily, "There's no need to be so tactful."

"Hey, hehe." Moria smiled stupidly, looking heartless.

"Boss, you are back." Hearing the noise, Macajron poked his head out of a room, "What did you find?"

"It's nothing special, it's just that the wind is very strong." Xiuer squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then changed the subject, "Start the timer from now, and add 1 minute when reporting the results."

"Understood." He took out his pocket watch and pressed it a few times. The halfling waved to everyone, "Come, come, let's see what we found."

"You stay here, don't run around." Regardless of whether the white wolf understood it or not, Xiure pointed to the stairwell, and the white wolf seemed to really understand, lying down on the ground and shaking No one paid any attention to him.

"Are you a dog?" Xiure's mouth twitched, and he led the others into the room behind Macajerun.

What was found in the room were many animal hides. In fact, in this building, the bedding on the bed was all made of leather, including the carpets on the floor, which were also made of the same material.

The thick leather cannot be seen to be from any animal, and the texture is very tough. Even with the physical fitness of the shadow chasers, it will take some effort to tear it without using energy to strengthen it.And these have a very cool feeling to the touch. It should be a pleasure to sleep on this kind of leather in a hot desert environment.

"I can take some interesting things back with me. They don't take up much space anyway." Shuer was suddenly startled when he was stroking the leather. He turned to the other side in surprise, "This side is actually warm. No, it's just not cold. That's all."

"That's right, hey, boss, it's interesting." Macajerun said proudly as if he were offering a treasure, "Not only is it not cold, but it also has a very good effect of isolating heat. Wrapped in this thing, if you walk outside at night, it will definitely not You’ll feel cold.”

"Bring more back, those top nobles will like it. Even if there are crystal stones in a closed space to adjust the temperature, they will definitely need it when they are exposed to the outside world. Wait, don't bring more, just bring it Take a big one back."

"Treacherous." Mia is worthy of being a veteran who has also been a leader. Before others could react, she sneered and said, "It's better to bring two to be safe, otherwise it will be embarrassing if one is not enough. Enough is enough. If so, the remaining one will be destroyed.”

"Tsk tsk, Shuer, you are planning to auction it." Militty also reacted, "Indeed, as long as the uniqueness can be ensured, bringing back one piece is far more valuable than bringing back a thousand."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later. Where are Mo Buck and Kelly?"

Macajerun pointed to the interior, and when he went in, he saw that Kelly was sitting on a stone chair, dozing off uncontrollably, while Moback was sitting beside him with a bored look on his face, pouring gulps into his mouth. As soon as he saw Xiure come in, he immediately hid the wine bag behind his back and said with a naive smile: "This is brought separately, I don't take up the space for drinking water."

"Are you all ready?" Shuer asked the dwarf who ignored the wine and asked Macajron.

"Well, all the traps are set."

"Okay, the wind has picked up and the sky is about to get bright. We are done here today. We will rest in the house during the day. Mobak, move all the tables and chairs out and move them to the stairwell. Living and guarding are all done in the stairwell. , make sure the door is open and only sleep in the room closest to the stairwell."

Obviously, although the walls of the building are very thick and buried in the sand, it is not easy to break into them. However, Shuer is still worried about the possibility of any danger seeping in from the outside, so he made such an arrangement to ensure that it can be penetrated. Advance and retreat.

"Mia, take a look outside."

This time, the mountain elf directly took out a large mirror half a person's height. The picture on the mirror was divided into four parts, and the field of view was much larger than the one half a day ago.

It was clear that the sky had turned white just now, but in the picture in the mirror, it was plunged into darkness again. A large amount of black sand flew over the sky and covered the sky. Thinking about the poor skeleton rabbit before, everyone always felt a little uneasy.

Shuer is not at ease either, but it's just for another thing.

"how long it has been?"

"Five minutes." Macajerun replied, "Since you came in." "Those undead haven't appeared yet." Frowning tightly, Shuer said in a deep voice, "This is a bit strange."

"Do you suspect that the appearance of the undead is related to this strange sandstorm?" Militi shook her head and said, "According to the theory of the undead, it shouldn't be."

"Indirect relationship." Xiuer shook his head noncommittally and did not explain in detail.

"Here we come." Saff suddenly tugged on Soul's sleeve.

Sure enough, although it was only fleeting, the shadow chasers' dynamic vision was still able to capture the traces of the undead.

Not one, but a dark mass.

In the black sandstorm, countless strange skeletons were flying on the sand. Most of these skeletons were streamlined and had obvious characteristics of fish creatures, but some had complete limbs, not much different from normal humans.

Ever since the first skeleton appeared, the black shadows in the mirror had not been cut off. Undead souls flashed across the coverage area of ​​the Mage's Eye one after another. At first, everyone was counting their numbers silently, but they soon gave up. Don't come.Moreover, just in the area covered by the Mage's Eye, there were already such a number in just a few minutes. Thinking about the scope of the sandstorm, everyone just felt a chill.

Fortunately, there was no accident at all. As expected, the building he was hiding in was still strong in the sandstorm. The strength of the stone was almost the same as that of the skeleton rabbit after it was transformed into an undead, but there was no damage at all. Obviously, this was not the case. Not an ordinary stone.

Moreover, not only was the building undamaged in the sandstorm, but even the flying undead clearly deliberately avoided the building when passing by. It is difficult to imagine how these dark creatures, which have no five senses and only rely on energy perception to detect enemies, managed to survive. You know how to get around obstacles without being blocked.

"No, I want to do a test." 10 minutes passed. The sandstorm has not passed, and the tide of undead shows no sign of stopping. Shuer suddenly stood up and said, "Enter combat readiness. Morbach is following me. The others are here. Always be ready to fight at the highest level, pay attention, at the highest level.”

"Okay, Captain." It is Zhuying's common sense to never act alone. As for what to test, the dwarf didn't even ask, picked up the battle ax and shield beside him, and walked upstairs.

Of course Shuer didn't want to go out. That would be no different from dying. He stopped when he reached the top floor and had no intention of opening the roof.

"Praise the name of the Dark Moon." Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room, Shuer actually tore off four pages from the difficult-to-make sacred book this time. Four pieces of paper full of text floated around him, front and back, left and right, Started spinning slowly around him.

"Praise the lightless moon, embrace the mortal creatures with a holy body." The fingers of his hands flew around, forming complex curse seals in front of his body. Shuer closed his eyes tightly, and his high-pitched prayer voice was strangely penetrating. Even though there are several layers of huge stone floors, the shadow chasers can hear it clearly.

"Call the holy name of the Lord, embrace the dark moon, and forever protect your devout believers, holy, lightless moon."

With a bang, Moback, who was guarding beside Xiuer, felt as if the whole world shook, and in the picture of the Mage's Eye downstairs, the part of the whole building that was exposed to the ground was shrouded in a slightly glowing light. In the light shield, not only the black sand inside the light shield cannot enter, but even the wind is blocked. In the sandstorm that seems to be the end of the world, the light shield actually cuts off a peaceful harbor.

This is the complete version of Dark Moon's Embrace, a protective divine spell second only to absolute defense. The one used by Xiure in the underground city was just a simplified version.

Black sand that could tear flesh and blood constantly slapped against the light shield, causing ripples of energy, but it was still unable to shake the light shield in the slightest.

"Bang", maybe the undead knew how to get around the building, but they obviously didn't know how to get around the light shield. A skeleton hit the shield directly, and the huge impact caused the bones gathered together by the force of death to fly apart. , and even many bones were directly broken.

Inside the building, Shuer frowned. This moment did make him feel uncomfortable, but judging from the solemn look on his face, the reason for his frown was obviously not just because of the impact.

After only a few seconds, the collision between the undead and the shield occurred more than 20 times. Theoretically, there should not be so many times, but the first impact seemed to alarm these strange undead, and the undead that passed by afterward actually He turned in the wind and took the initiative to hit the light shield, not caring about his own destruction.

"Praise the Lord, sing praises to the Lord." Shuer drew a circle on his chest with his fingers. One of the four pieces of paper that had been hovering around suddenly exploded and turned into countless light spots, sinking into Shuer's body.

"Hmph." With a muffled groan, complex curse seals were alternately formed again. The light shield outside gradually shrank until it could only cover the building. The texture of the light shield also gradually became solid as the scope shrank.

"The last test is about to begin, Morbuck, get ready for battle."

"At any time." The dwarf tapped his shield.

"In the name of the saint, in the name of the moon."

The remaining three pages were turned into ashes at the same time, the light shield shrank again, and the texture was strengthened again, making it look like it was real on the physical level.

However, the light shield is just an energy shield after all. This time it shrinks, and part of it is submerged into the building, leaving the top of the building exposed again outside the shield and exposed to the undead in the wind.
