Chapter 11 The Frog
"O'Fregen, these corpses are really ugly." Shouting Vulcan's name, a thunderous voice came from behind Shuer, "If you look so ugly, you will definitely lose the courage to live."

Morback was right, these corpses were indeed strange.

Although they have turned into mummies, it can still be inferred from the remains that they had bloated and fat upper bodies when they were alive.Especially the abdominal cavity. Looking at the curvature of the sternum, you can see that their abdominal cavity is bulging, at least twice as bulging as a normal humanoid.

In order to support their heavy bodies, their long lower limb bones are extremely thick. It is conceivable that the muscles are extremely developed before they are dry. In theory, they should be very flexible when running and jumping.

In contrast, their upper limbs are surprisingly slender, and can only be compared to three or four-year-old children in the world of Parvatiga. It is difficult to imagine how they usually use their upper limbs to move objects.

As for their heads, they have round skulls, and the tops of their facial bones are curved and bulge forward. As Mia said just now, they are like frogs walking upright.

Although there are many races in the world of Parvatiga, with different shapes, they basically maintain the human shape in terms of body shape and limb proportions. Only the aquatic races are slightly strange. There are really no weird creatures with such distorted body proportions. No wonder Mobak Would be so surprised.

"Shut up and work first." Xiuer pointed at the body and motioned with his eyes to Meridi who was following behind.

Making a gesture of understanding, Miridi held the pendant on her chest. Black energy began to emit from the pendant, and the faint wailing silently emerged in the depths of everyone's hearts again.

"Saf, follow me all the way."

"Yes." The quiet and slender female swordsman drew out her heavy sword and dragged it behind her, following closely beside the necromancer.

"Everyone, enter the room." Shuer waved to Mia and Moria who had just completed the work of freezing the entrance and exit. "Moback, guard this door. Militi and Saff are behind you to check the body. The road is left to you three."

"Hahahaha, Morback is the most reliable." The dwarf slapped his chest fiercely, finally lifted the breathing restriction, and could speak freely. He couldn't wait to make up what he had said for more than an hour, "Leave it to me Don't worry, as long as I have my shield, no one can... Alas, don't go, captain."

"Others follow me and explore the entire room." Shuer ignored the noise in his ears. "Macajron, check the traps and secret doors, confirm the location of every ventilation and drainage outlet, Mia, search Although 90.00% of magic traps may not exist, you still need to check them. Moria, always pay attention to the composition of the air. If you are successfully plotted by a group of low-intelligent plants, you will be really shameless."

As he spoke, he pulled out two hammers and stood at the forefront with the halfling. This is the fighting style of the battle priest. When there are sufficient manpower, he performs the duties of a priest in the rear. Once the battle situation requires it, he must pick up the war hammer again. Shield, rush to the front row and engage in close combat with the enemy.

"In the name of Cylo the Wind, I won't make mistakes this time." The halfling swore loudly that the shame just now must be washed away with practical actions.

As Mia's sticky light ball continues to stick to the roof, the room occupied by darkness is gradually regained by light.

Shuer guessed correctly, but he also guessed wrong.

It was indeed a dead end, with only one entrance and exit connected to the outside world, but it was not just one room as he thought, but four.

The room where you saw the corpse as soon as you entered the door probably functioned as an activity room, with dining tables, sofas, bookshelves, and various strange and unknown equipment. Judging from the experience of the shadow chasers, they should be various entertainment facilities to relieve the security guards. Boredom when they are not on duty.

There is a room in each of the three directions of the activity room.

The one at the front is the smallest and weirdest.The most conspicuous thing in the room is a strange wall, which is divided into dozens of rectangular grids. The grid is inlaid with black glass. Once you stand over it, the reflections of people can be reflected on the black glass of all the grids, as if they are surrounded by black glass. It was as if the person was being watched by a crowd.

"This..." After frowning and thinking for a while, Shuer asked Mia uncertainly, "Eye of the Mage?"

"If this is really a guard room, it should have a similar function." The elf mage is also unsure. After all, it is not a familiar world. There are too many unknown existences. He can only rely on experience to infer. "But the mage's eyes are directly reflected in the brain. In it, this is probably displayed as an image, with each grid representing an image, but this is a bit inconvenient."

"Yes, you need someone to stare at it." Shuer pointed to the two chairs facing the wall. "It's hard for one person not to lose focus, so it takes two people. In fact, even with two people, it's hard to stay focused."

"Well, let's say boring reading." There is a long table in front of the chair. The paint on the table body has begun to peel off, exposing the inner wood, but the whole thing is still intact.There were several thin books on the table, and Forest Spirit Moriya was looking through them with interest.

"What book do you read so enthusiastically?" It is the nature of forest elves to be full of curiosity about unfamiliar things. Even experienced shadow chasers are no exception. Xiuer has no choice but to sigh helplessly.

"The picture album is very interesting. You can learn a lot about it. Do you want to take it away and read it?"

It is indeed a very interesting album, as you can see from the cover.On the pink background, there is a long-legged frog with blue and white skin printed on it. He is wearing very few clothes, his thick long legs are tightly clamped, one arm is pillowed under his head, and the other is over his raised belly. , stroking his thick legs.

If you change the character, for example, Meredith poses like this, it will be full of temptation, but now, imagine a frog doing strange things with this picture album, forget it, Shuer gave up Imagine.

"Sorry, forgive me for refusing." Shuer's mouth twitched and he threw the album back.

"Eh?" Moria widened her eyes in surprise and said in confusion, "Why? You can't just face a tree or a deer..."

"Hey, you are attacking yourself together." Xiu Er rolled his eyes, and interrupted Lin Jing's teasing angrily, "Be serious, the work is not finished yet." Indeed, although the security level has increased It will be higher and higher, but after all, the danger has not been completely ruled out, and the exploration work will continue.

Of course, at least there was nothing unusual in this room, except for the bright red button next to the door on the wall.However, no one wants to try the function of the button. From the function of this room, you can guess its purpose.

The front of the activity room is the monitoring room, and the room on the right is used as a dormitory.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see six bunk beds arranged against the wall. There are two boxes placed beside each bed to store a small amount of personal belongings.The bedding on the bed was already in tatters, but the wire mesh underneath was still strong and didn't affect use at all.

The simple dormitory is for the guards to use when they rest. There are no traps and no extra furnishings. Apart from the bed, the only furnishings are the twelve lockers at the door.

The locked cabinet is easy to pry open, and there are some clothes inside, and...

"This should be a weapon, a thermal weapon." Mia picked up a small, odd-looking metal device and fiddled with it a few times. A slight "click" sound came from the device, "I remember those weirdo scholars unified them. What a strange name for a firearm.”

"Attention people outside, nothing is wrong here, don't worry." Seeing Mia's actions, Shuer shouted to the door.

"boom".

Sure enough, what followed was a loud explosion and pungent smoke.

"What is it?" The halfling who was still checking under the bed almost bumped into the foot of the bed, rubbing his ears that were still ringing in the ears and complained, "Why is it so loud all of a sudden?"

"You have to get used to it slowly. There are many low-energy alien projections with such weapons." Shuer took the firearm handed over by Mia and played with it. "It's just too noisy."

"This is probably the most common weapon. It's so weak that it can't even break my skin, let alone yours." Mia shook her head and said, "It's fine for ordinary people to use for self-defense. It's a pity that the ammunition can't be taken back." It just fails and is of no use at all.”

Indeed, due to the different rules of the world, back in Parvatiga, the same proportion of substances in the ammunition was not flammable at all, and the firearms were like scrap metal.

"It looks like..." Shuer threw the gun back to Mia, looked around the dormitory and said, "I guess what is in the other room."

"Weapons depot, there must be powerful weapons stored in the guard room." The elf, who is over 200 years old, has the most experience in chasing shadows. Although he has not personally experienced similar worlds, he has heard of a lot.

"Well, the door of that room should be the most troublesome. Let's check it last. Go to the opposite room first. If nothing else, there's nothing to see."

There is really nothing to see, it is a very small room, there are only a few sofas and coffee tables in it, and it is purely for receiving foreign visitors.

The only thing special is that there is a movable metal plate in each of the four corners of the roof. Of course, it is locked now. Judging from experience, there may be thermal weapons inside, which can strike the interior of the room in all directions without dead ends.

"Preliminary confirmation of safety." Returning to the security room, Shuuer closed the door, "Mia, seal the door, Macajron, set warning traps at all vents and drains, Militi, don't play with corpses yet, you and Ma Together with Kajlun, we set up a magic circle to detect life at the same location, and now, this room is ours."

"That's it for today?" the dwarf shouted loudly, "can you rest?"

"Well, we encountered a lot of trouble as soon as we entered the door. Everyone was under a lot of mental pressure. Fortunately, we have got rid of those difficult plants. At least we can ensure safety tonight. Everyone adjusts well. Tomorrow is the treasure hunt. It’s starting.”

"Really, really, are you really free of it?" The female swordsman habitually hid out of everyone's sight, looked at Moria, then at Shuer, and mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice.

Apparently, she still can't escape the shadow of Trouble and the saber-toothed spider.

"At least for the time being, Moria?" Xiuer asked Lin Jing with his eyes.

"Well, theoretically speaking, they can't threaten us anymore. At least I can't think of anything else they can do."

"That's enough." Shuer nodded, "But always pay attention to exploration."

"clear."

"Very good, then the alert state is lifted. As usual, you lazy bastards, go and work for me!"

"roll roll roll!"
