Chapter 329 Is this a fragment?

There were no obvious fatal wounds on the three corpses lying together. At most, there were a few unhealed cracks on the bones of the limbs. The cracks were very subtle and did not affect the movement. They should be traces of the last battle.

Other than that, the three corpses were intact, without even struggling before death, as if they passed away peacefully in their sleep.Their clothes were decayed and weathered, and the remains of their armor and weapons lay aside, as if ready to wake from the dead and fight again.

As for the last sitting corpse, the fatal injuries were obvious. His cervical vertebrae were cut in half. It was obvious that his neck was cut by an intelligent creature.

"He committed suicide." He bent over and looked at the cuts on his cervical spine. The corners of Xiure's mouth twitched. "It's so cruel. He even used enough strength to commit suicide. How much hatred does he have against himself."

"He didn't suffer any injuries that affected his movements." Under the mask, Saff looked confused, "He actually chose to commit suicide."

"Oh, I found it." Shuer did not explain Saff's doubts. Instead, he rummaged through the debris left by these people. Soon, several sheepskins that were in ruins and had several holes when touched entered Shuer. The realization of the pioneering era, or use sheepskin as a record carrier, "If it is a member of the security team of the pioneering regiment, then after the mission, you must submit a mission briefing to your superiors. That should be it. Let me see what happened. Where did they hide the scrap of metal?"

Indeed, there were no metal fragments in their belongings. The only possibility was that they had hidden the metal fragments when they were attacked.If you look for it on your own, you can still find it. You just have to spend more energy searching. But since there is an easier way, why spend more energy?

Xiuer used the gentlest movements to open the sheepskins. After completely smashing two sheepskins and leaving many holes in the remaining ones, he finally read the strange symbols on them. They were ancient northern human languages, pioneering In the middle and early stages of the era, Saint Erics had not yet been born, and the common language was still sleeping with him and had not come to this world. Each tribe was still using the language of its own tribe that had been passed down from the embryonic era.

"Although I don't know who wrote the report, this person is really talented. A simple mission log made him write it like a knight novel." Shuer sighed helplessly, forgetting the nonsense. The key is that the level is not very good and not attractive at all. At this level, it would not be a pity to die in the cave. "Generally speaking, our guess was right. Their trip went smoothly and they didn't get lost, eh." , at least not lost for the time being, and arrived here safely until they encountered the blind troglodyte."

The blind troglodyte is a large carnivorous lizard that is extremely ferocious and aggressive. There are a lot of pathogenic organisms on its teeth. If you are bitten by it, even if the wound is cleaned in time, you will be very likely to be infected with various diseases. Without a priest or doctor, , it is difficult to survive for three days.They often live in groups and appear in large cave systems. They are very good hunters.

"If it's a blind troglodyte, no wonder they suffered heavy losses." Safu looked at the ancestors of his country with a wry smile. They were really unlucky to encounter this kind of creature. Even a team of gold-level War warriors don't really want to fight with more than a dozen blind war lizards from a group. Their strength is secondary, but the key is that it's too troublesome.From the moment they were unlucky enough to be targeted by the blind troglodyte, their entire army was doomed to be annihilated. In the end, four of them managed to escape, which is considered a rare thing. "Ah, no wonder those three people couldn't see He was fatally injured, so he must have died from an infection."

"Oh, I guessed wrong. Their deaths are not directly related to the blind troglodyte." The smile under Xiuer's hood was very strange, like ridicule and contempt. "Although it is not written directly, I can think of it a little bit." In a moment, you will know how they died."

It was clearly written on the sheepskin that after encountering the blind troglodyte, they had to retreat to the current cave and block the entrance for a temporary rest. Several injured companions died one after another, and in the end only four people were left.After holding on for seven days, they estimated that the monsters outside had left, and were preparing to leave the cave and escape from the blind troglodyte's territory as soon as possible.They are monsters with a strong sense of territory and will never leave their territory to chase prey. Therefore, as long as they escape from their territory in time, they have a high chance of returning to the ground alive.

Of course, although this is the case in theory, not everyone has the courage to leave a safe shelter and return to a dangerous environment. At least one of the young soldiers named Mick did not have the courage until the day before the operation. In the evening, when making escape plans, he always strongly opposed everyone escaping from the shelter.However, with the persistence and persuasion of the other three, he reluctantly accepted their opinions.Now that we have unified opinions and everything is ready, we just need to have a good meal and have a good sleep, and we can escape tomorrow.

However, the record stops abruptly here. It is obvious that the escape plan has ended before it was implemented.

"They... actually failed to convince Mick?" Saff was a little unbelievable. Although she had read a lot of books and followed Shuuer for more than two years, and had been instilled with some gray thoughts by him, the female swordsman still persisted. There is kindness in my heart, but I can’t believe the darkness in people’s hearts.

"Obviously, no." Shuer said in a mocking tone, "Although it cannot be confirmed, according to my speculation, Mick has actually collapsed at this time, and regards this cave as his last spiritual support. Anyone who wants to break His reliance and attempts to reconnect the inside and outside of the cave will be regarded as his mortal enemy. Haha, he will not tolerate others reopening the closed cave entrance. For this reason, he will not hesitate to eliminate all hidden dangers, even if these people are A comrade in arms who lived and died with him."

"It's unimaginable." Saff shook his head and sighed, "Staying here is like a chronic poison. Although he won't die immediately, as the supplies are exhausted little by little, there will be only death in the end. He doesn't Do you understand this?"

"If you are a normal person, of course you will understand, but for a person whose sanity has collapsed, there is no need for such things as truth." Shuer lowered his voice, as if he was telling a horror story, "So On the last night, after everyone had eaten and drank enough to fall asleep, he used his night watch time to cut the throats of his comrades one by one." Shaking his head vigorously, Saff was not disbelieving, but could not understand or accept this kind of behavior. Twisted psychology.

"It was really easy to kill three unsuspecting people in their sleep. In the end, he was the only one left here. Maybe after killing everyone, he regained consciousness and realized what he had done. Maybe it wasn't until a while After a while, the supplies in the cave were exhausted, and he realized his mistake. In short, he finally woke up. Unfortunately, it was too late, and nothing could be changed. The only thing he could do was to take care of himself. In deep hatred, I cut my own throat.”

"It's pitiful, but more importantly, it's hateful." Saff was sighing and was suddenly startled. "That's not right, Shuer, aren't you looking for metal fragments when you look at the records?"

"Yeah, but it's not on the record."

"That means that the metal fragments had not been disposed of until they died."

"Yes." Xiu Er nodded, "Otherwise they will definitely record the location in the report, and it is impossible not to mention it."

"That's strange. They can't just throw away such important mission items anywhere." Saf frowned and thought about it. "It's supposed to never leave the body, but it's obviously not here."

"Well, actually the fragment is here, I just discovered it." Shuer scratched his hood as if scratching his head, "What do you think the target object, that is, the metal fragment you are looking for should look like?"

"Huh?" Saf didn't answer at all, but just looked at Xiu Er in confusion, wondering what's wrong with his mind, what can the metal fragments look like.Wait, no, does that replacement wheel, a piece of debris, need to be transported in a truck with those big wheels?

"Anyway, I can't understand the mentality of calling a giant piece of metal that is five to six meters long and over four meters high a metal fragment." Shuer's eyes fell on the corner of the cave, where there was a huge black shadow.

There was no light at all in the cave, and it was all illuminated by the three crystal energy lamps of the two people. When they were inspecting the cave just now, they passed this black shadow, but it was so big that they both mistaken it for a cave. No one paid much attention to a part of it, nor did they think about other aspects. Just like Shuer said, which normal person would call such a huge thing a metal fragment.

However, the two of them forgot that the person who told Xiure that this thing existed was not a normal person, but Lady Luna, the goddess of the dark moon. The huge thing in their eyes was so small that it was not even a dust to the true body of the dark moon. On the other hand, calling it a metal fragment was already taking care of the two people's understanding.

"After searching for a long time in vain, it turns out that the target is right next to us." Safu also looked dumbfounded. "In fact, we should have thought of it long ago. The light beam that can emit the light of emerald cannot be the metal fragments that we understand. It’s done. Compared with the range of the Emerald Light, this source is indeed small enough to be considered a fragment.”

"Praise the Sunless Moon. It's great that my Lord didn't tell me that it was metal particles." Shuer sighed while covering the glass on his mask. "I really want to go back and fight with Soraen and this generation of Lionheart King." One, they actually followed suit and called it metal fragments."

"Ha, Your Majesty, they don't know either, no one has seen the real thing."

"Yeah." Xiuer just said casually, and the light beam of the lighting facility never left the huge metal block, "I want to know now how a machine that even you can't hear abnormal noises keeps running. "
