Chapter 35 I'm Growing Grass
"Gurgling, gurgling", in the small aluminum pot on the crystal energy stove, the smell of black tea spreads around as the water surface rolls, letting a light fragrance float in the hut.

In fact, buildings like residential buildings are not suitable for camping. The walls are thin, the space of a single room is small, and the distribution of rooms is complex. It is unqualified in terms of practicality and safety.

If there were other options, even an empty space would be better than spending the night in an abandoned residence.

However, today, Shuer ordered that a relatively closed and small space must be chosen as the camp. Except for the night watchers, everyone must crowd into a room to rest. Because of this, they finally chose to camp in a residential house.

Unlike the lively dinner scene last night, there was not even serious cooking tonight, let alone after-dinner entertainment.Everyone just ate a few slices of bread and bacon in the living room, and then Shuuer ordered them to go back to rest.

After all, the intensity of today's exploration is not small.Moreover, we experienced another large-scale battle. Although the opponent was completely crushed during the battle, extra consumption was still unavoidable. After a whole day like this, everyone was indeed tired. It was better to rest early and recharge for tomorrow's trip home. as well.

However, Xiure himself didn't sleep. He and Mia were on duty on the first shift. According to him, he needed to seize the time to try to decipher the frog man's text while he had an idea, so he arranged himself on the first shift. In the front, everyone always felt that he was actually worried and wanted to observe everyone's situation more before doing this.

Turn off most of the light sources in the residence, leaving only a small chandelier on the top of the dining table in the living room, boil a pot of mellow and hot vegetarian black tea, hold the teacup under the light, and slowly turn the pages of the book on the table with the other, peacefully The city, the quiet houses, the quiet people, everything is so peaceful.

In the bedroom next door, the room was completely vacated. Everyone was wrapped in sleeping bags, with weapons under their heads, lying on the floor in a mess, and they had all fallen asleep.

The Shadow Chasers didn't sleep well. On the one hand, it was their professional habit to get up and face the enemy at any time. On the other hand, although everyone didn't say it on the surface, Xiure's previous words still brought a lot of trouble to everyone. Influence.

"We've probably all been parasitized."

"Not only Macajron, but each of us has a high probability of being parasitized."

"So, everyone should be alert, take care of each other, and alert everyone immediately if there is any abnormal behavior by those around you."

"We are not afraid of being overly sensitive. In other words, it is better to be oversensitive than regretful."

"No matter what happens, no matter who has a problem, I hope the person who has the problem will persist as long as possible and never give up too early."

"Please also believe in me. At least in this shadow chase, believe in me wholeheartedly every moment. This is the most important thing."

Xiure's words were very strange and stressful. Before everyone went to bed, everyone secretly checked their bodies. Of course, they definitely didn't find any saplings growing anywhere. Think about it, there is a clear boundary between plants and animals. How can it be possible to grow flowers and plants from living flesh?

Everyone was sleeping, and the elf mage Mia was also sleeping. Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Shuer simply asked Mia, who was keeping watch with him, to lie down on the table and take a nap. Since he was interpreting the text anyway, he would definitely not take a nap, so it was better to let the mage Rest for a while, after all, the mage's need for mental power is too great.

So, in the quiet night, there were only the sounds of boiling black tea and the scraping of book pages, like a lullaby that lulls people to sleep.Occasionally, one or two coughs and murmurs came from the bedroom, filling the quiet residence with the breath of life.

Putting down the tea cup and writing a few more lines on the white paper, Shuer held the pen in his mouth and fell into deep thought.

There were some things that he habitually didn’t say to everyone.

The previous school provided him with key information, enlightenment vocabulary, basic grammar, and the most important dictionary. In fact, he can already understand some of the text here.

It was these strange words that turned into a shadow that always weighed on his heart. Is what happened here and the opponent we faced really as simple as imagined?

Probably not.

"Ha." A blade-like light flashed in Xiure's eyes, and a stern sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. So what if it's not simple?After 20 years of strategizing, do you really think I’m afraid of you?
After writing a few strokes on the paper again, Xiu Er has restrained his sharpness, with a gentle smile and a face full of kindness.

"Oh, you two are so harmonious, I'm a little jealous." You don't need to look up to know who is coming, and the time is almost up, and Moria is here to take the second shift for Mia.

"You are such a deer that gets energetic at night." The elf mage sat up straight and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "You always take over in advance, and even when you are lazy, you don't let me be more secure."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep." Moreia smiled and made a gesture to drive people away, "Shuer is mine, so I won't let you occupy it."

"Don't talk nonsense. An excellent person like me belongs to all beautiful girls." Looking up from the book, Xiuer corrected him seriously, "No one wants to monopolize it."

"Hehe, you're so greedy. As expected of Xiuer." Xiaolu jumped to Xiuer's side and lay down happily, rubbing his shoulder happily, "I really like you more and more."

"I can't stand you two." As long as he puts aside his shame, he will be fearless, and the indifferent elf mage can only retreat, "You two, keep flirting, I don't want to care about you."

"Oh, don't go, I'm not kidding, I belong to you too." After calling softly to Mia's decisive back, Shuer shrugged helplessly, turned around and smiled, "Run away."

"Hey." Moreya smiled brightly, took Xiuer's teacup with both hands, stuck out her tongue to lick a few mouthfuls like a real deer, and flipped through a thick stack of papers that were already written on. Comparison table, "Have you cracked so much?"

"Well, the language family is close, so it's easier to understand." "Is it bad news? I can see it on your face."

"Well, it can't get any worse."

"It's indeed bad news." He licked a few more sips of tea thoughtfully, and instead of urging Xiure to tell it and share it with everyone like he did last night, he asked leisurely, "Can't you tell me?"

"Of course, this way we can maintain a sense of mystery." Shuer smiled proudly.

There is an essential difference between being unable to say and not wanting to say it. However, Shuer didn't seem to hear it, and Moria didn't seem to notice it either.

"That's it, then I understand." Staring at the rippled water, Moria said softly, "Just to me?"

"To maintain a sense of mystery, we have to treat everyone the same." Shuer said with a smile, "But, especially for you, after all, we are too familiar."

"Tsk tsk, should I say this is my honor?" Xiaolu, who was usually dull, didn't look stupid at all at this time.

"There are some things, just don't blame me." Shuer suddenly sighed, "Those things you don't know yet."

"How can I blame you? It's not your fault. You're still trying to solve the problem." Moreia touched Xiu Er's shoulder very freely, "If you feel guilty, just treat it as if you owe me a favor La."

"No problem, I owe you more favors than I can count anyway."

"That's it." Xiao Lu gave a thumbs up and smiled happily, "In this case, I will leave myself to you. You can play whatever you want. Just save your last breath."

"Hey, you're a tree full of pollen." He knocked on Moria's head a few times to vent his anger. Shuer was really dumbfounded. This guy's thoughts, just like her race, were really hard to figure out. through.

"By the way, since you told me some bad news, I'll tell you one too, so it's fair." Moria said mischievously, "You're right, hehe, I'm special because I have grass growing on my body. ”

Silence, only the sound of the pen tip scratching the paper.

Xiure was silent for half a minute before he said calmly: "Really? Show me."

Moria stretched out a leg, a slender and powerful deer leg with soft and smooth fur, fine and smooth down, and she did not forget to kick Shuer's leg a few times with her hoof.

But the next moment, the flesh and blood body suddenly turned into rough and hard wood, and the long legs turned into a thick tree root.There are indeed a few wild grasses growing in the depressions of the bark. They are very small. It would have been difficult to spot them immediately if Moria hadn't reminded them.

"Well, it looks pretty." Shuer squinted his eyes and smiled weirdly, "How about you try to pull it out? Hello."

"Whoa", before Xiu Er could change his mind, Moria had already pulled out the grass from the roots of the tree.

"Hmm, I don't feel anything." Lin Jing tilted her head and thought for a moment, "How about making it soak in water to drink?"

"I found that your taste is particularly strong tonight." Shuer sighed and said helplessly, "Where are the others?"

"I think everyone has secretly checked themselves before going to bed. There should be nothing abnormal."

"That's good." Shuer nodded, "You don't have to worry too much..."

"I'm not worried at all." Moria said matter-of-factly, "You will do the worrying for me. I will only be responsible for causing trouble."

"You guy, I really want to beat you up." Shuer gritted his teeth, "What you said just now is whatever I want. That sentence is still valid."

"Hehe, of course it doesn't work." Xiaolu smiled evilly, "Haven't you heard that women are fickle?"

"Huh, forget it, I won't argue with you." Shuer said softly, "In short, there is nothing to be afraid of. I will definitely find a solution when I go home tomorrow. After all, Parvadiga is a fertile land with billions of advanced creatures. They are just a group of parasitic plants, are you afraid that you can’t deal with them?”

"Huh? Oh." Xiaolu was stunned for less than half a second, then smiled tacitly, "Yes, are you afraid that you can't deal with them? Hehehe, but you owe me two favors."

"as you wish."
