dark moon

Chapter 279

"The magic can heal your muscle damage so that you won't be sore all over from resting, but it can't restore your physical strength. Unless Lisa is here, she can use that kind of magic."

"Who is Lisa? She sounds like a beauty. Please introduce her to me."

"The cutest sister in the world, she is 11 years old this year. I didn't expect that, Dak, you still have this habit. Dark Moon will punish you, a shameless sinner. As Lord Dark Moon's mortal guardian, I will let you Just turn into a corpse."

"That's enough for you two." Mia couldn't stand it anymore. She was such a bastard. She called everyone up to prepare to leave, but in the end, she just messed around instead of doing anything serious. "If you do this again, all your rewards will be deducted when you return."

"Ahem, cough, well, let's stop talking nonsense. You must persevere in the last part of the journey. Don't blame me for only giving you 15 minutes of rest time. Although bugs can't get in theoretically, you must not let your guard down. The point is not our high-level mercenaries, but the fifteen of you. Don’t think that you will be safe in a place where there are no bugs. Anything can happen in the alien projection. If you want to relax your vigilance, tell me in advance, and I will help you. Eulogy and tombstone ready.”

"Just like the outside, everyone lined up in a guard formation. As always, the high-level is on the outer layer, and the low-level is protected on the inner layer. Let's start now. I hope that the gate of this warp hall can still be opened when Laura is gone."

Xiu Er worried too much. Not only could the door be opened, but it opened automatically. As soon as the team approached, the metal door silently shrank to both sides, revealing the dark corridor outside.

"Yuri, light." The magic scholar will definitely bring a magic device with a light-emitting function, which consumes very little magic power, which is much more economical than the wizard's lighting technique.

A ball of white flames floated above Yuli's head, and the beating flames reflected on his face, making everyone's expression look uncertain.The brightness of the light is not high, and ordinary people can barely see the environment clearly, but for high-level mercenaries, this is enough.

"I always feel like you look like a target." Shuer sighed, and indeed you did, especially when the surroundings were dark, as if an insect might jump out of the shadows and pounce on the light source at any time, "Forget it, that's it. .”

"Don't talk nonsense. You have consumed more than a dozen of my magical devices this time." Yuli even rolled his eyes so noblely, "We have agreed to treat us to dinner after we go out, and I can't let you go now."

"It's a bit much, but anyway, you can charge the magic device yourself, it just takes some time. If that doesn't work, just use crystals. Anyway, you 'ordinary' wingers don't care." Anyway, I don't need to pay for the crystals. Right, as for eating, I can have a few gold coins, "If you eat, you will eat. You will choose a place when the time comes. Hey, what do you mean by that smile? If you keep being careful like this, I will regret it."

"Nothing, hey, nothing."

In the dark, the voice of intelligent creatures can dispel unreasonable fear. Listening to the two people's non-stop verbal confrontation, even ordinary people feel that the dark environment is not so scary.

"Wei, the door can still be opened normally, but the light source cannot be used. Is this normal?"

"Very normal, Your Excellency, the door is automatic, but some light sources need to be opened manually."

"Manual?"

"It can be controlled by the main brain, or it can be turned on with an external switch. Base lighting generally has two operating systems that are effective at the same time."

"Well, don't worry about that." Xiuer nodded thoughtfully, but immediately asked, "Can the automatic door be opened without energy?"

"The energy consumption of the induction door is not much. If the main brain is forced to shut down due to lack of energy, it is reasonable for the induction door to continue to be used."

"Are you worried?" Mia keenly felt the uneasiness behind Xiu Er's questions, "Do you think the loss of contact with the control center was not due to exhaustion of energy, but because an enemy invaded the base?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little uneasy." Shuer comforted him softly, "You have to prepare for the worst."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Or do you think I've never led a team?" Mia glared at the guy who obviously didn't mean what he said. "I think there must be something wrong with you."

"I said that I will definitely take everyone back, trust me." Xiuer smiled noncommittally and changed the subject, "We suffered heavy losses this time, so there won't be any problems."

"The artisan has to pay a sum of compensation, the mercenary doesn't need it, and the loss is not much. As for my colleagues who sacrificed, they don't need to worry. They all wrote their wills before they came. It's bad luck to be sucked into the alien projection. It wasn't because of me, and we not only dared to go in to save them, but also managed to bring out three, which not only didn't affect me, but actually improved my reputation in the Tower of Blue."

"Well, shouldn't there be some substantive rewards for me as a commander?"

"The way to change the subject is really inferior." Mia curled her lips in disdain and said coldly, "Can I reward you for that bitch over there who wants to take off her clothes and walk around naked?"

"Okay, hehehe, that's what I asked for." Shuer raised his eyebrows at Miredy.

"Do you want to die if you are flat-chested? When you go back, I will show you how to take off your clothes and walk around tonight."

"Phew." He finally moved the topic away, and Shuuer ignored the two mages who might start fighting at any time. Anyway, they knew how to play with their own control, "Be careful, Dark, you can slow down a little, Sapphire. Keep your ears open and report any movement immediately. By the way, Friesen, you are so insignificant. Did you jump over with me?" "I'm right next to you." A cold voice sounded from beside you, " Is there something wrong?"

"Don't leave the team too far. You will be responsible for the surrounding shadows. You are an expert in this area. If you find an enemy lurking in the shadows, kill it immediately."

"Understood." The source of the voice was already far away, and this guy was really elusive.

"Eh? Are there people in this world who are like assassins, lurking in the shadows?" Moria jumped to Xiuer's side and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Do you suspect that the mastermind of the Soul Clan also has malicious intentions?"

"Yes, how could it not be? Wei said that humans have optical camouflage and can lurk in the shadows. The soul tribe has dark paladins. After fixing their bodies, they will walk in the shadows all their lives. Bugs may also have it." He answered loudly. , Xiure then said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Don't tell me you don't know what I'm worried about. You witnessed the whole process."

"Hey? A deer can't understand your complex thinking. We deer only know how to eat, drink and sleep."

"There's also fooling around and causing trouble."

"Oh, by the way, in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, we also have sex... uh uh uh."

I don’t know whether it was because everyone was extra careful, or because Shuer was just too worried, but no accidents happened for several kilometers. An hour later, when Safu happily told Shuer that the exact location of the Projection Gate had been confirmed, The last corner is just around the corner.

However, when they turned the corner and saw the huge metal door at the end of the corridor, several high-level mercenaries smiled bitterly.

They all heard about this troublesome door from Xiu Er and Moreia, heavy, thick, indestructible, and almost impossible to forcibly break through the metal door. Everyone was thankful before that Xiu Er let the mastermind of the base keep the door open.

But now, the door is closed again, like an insurmountable high wall, standing on the way home.

"Ah~~" Just when everyone felt helpless, a short scream came from the shadows. Turning around suddenly, they saw the assassin Friesen stumbling out of the shadows. His face was pale, and one of his arms was already in full swing. The broken arm was broken by the root, and he held the broken arm in his hand. The fracture was rough and uneven, not like it had been cut off, but like it had been sawed off.

"Enemy attack!" Shuer's expression changed and he shouted loudly, "The combatants deployed energy shields, and the non-combatants gathered towards me, leaning against the wall and relying on the terrain for defense."

Xiure did not stupidly ask about the enemy's situation, but immediately issued a defense order. The enemy was nowhere to be seen, and he must be in a stealth state. If the next target cannot be determined, the best choice is to defend and defend. I want to ask about the enemy's situation. There will be plenty of time after that.

"Saff, listen to the sound and judge the position. Moria, spread the roots on the ground. Grab the opponent when he lands. Mia, prepare yourself. Friesen, return to the team with the broken arm."

"The only enemy." Saf immediately gave the answer, "The sound of flapping wings is the wings of a creature."

No one heard the sound of flapping wings, but Shuer believed in Sav's hearing. There must be a reason why he couldn't hear it before, but now that he heard it, he would never hear it wrong.

"Definitely not human." Friesen retreated into the guard circle as quickly as possible, gritted his teeth and said with pain, "The body structure is completely different."

"It's an insect." There was no doubt. It was a creature, not a human being. In this world, there was only one possibility: insect. "Mia, burn it."

"May, Hall." The elf mage held up his staff and sang the rune. Mia, who rarely used props, also used the staff to increase the power. In an instant, the corridor more than [-] meters wide and tens of meters high , A wall of fire covering all sections appeared in front of everyone, the wall of fire moved forward rapidly, the high temperature filled the interior of the corridor, and everyone's faces were scorched hot.

The magic was very effective. In the flames, there was a sound of violent struggle and the sound receded. When the flames extinguished, a mantis as tall as a person appeared out of thin air. The mantis's skin was burnt black. Perhaps it was because of this that the mantis was destroyed. Its stealth capabilities.

"Shusha, shasha", the wings of the praying mantis kept rubbing against each other, making a threatening sound. A pair of forelimbs of the sickle opened and closed, and the sawtooth blade looked creepy.

"There are others. In the shadows behind, I heard voices." Saff pointed to the darkness in the corridor and said, "There are not many, but they are all very big."

"It is indeed a bug." Shuer whispered with a straight face, "Slowly retreat to the target, and prepare to open the door manually."

"Hello, human allies, welcome." The familiar voice, cold and emotionless, is no stranger to Shuer and Moria. This is the voice belonging to the soul clan mastermind, "You have kept your promise and came back within the deadline. .”

"But you didn't keep your promise, Master of the Soul Race, you closed the door." Xiu Er said with a sneer, "Or, should I call you Queen of the Swarm?"
