Chapter 12 Frogs
"Ofrigan is on top, these corpses are really ugly." Shouting the name of the God of Fire, a thunderous voice came from behind Shuer, "If you look so ugly, you will definitely lose the courage to live."
Mobak is right, these corpses are indeed weird.
Although they have become mummies, they can still be seldom inferred from the wreckage that they had a bloated and obese upper body during their lifetime. Especially the abdominal cavity, you can see that their abdominal cavity is at least twice as bulging than a normal human.
In order to support their heavy bodies, their long lower limbs have extremely thick bones. It is conceivable that their muscles are particularly developed before they dry up. Theoretically, running and jumping should be very flexible.
In contrast, their upper limbs are astonishingly slender, which is only comparable to those of three or four-year-old children in the world of Pavatiga. It is hard to imagine how they usually use their upper limbs to carry animals.
As for their heads, the round skulls and the tops of the facial bones are arc-shaped and protruding forward and high, just like Mia said just now, they are like frogs walking upright.
Although there are many races in the Pavadiga world and different shapes, they basically maintain human form in both body shape and limb ratio. Only those aquatic races are a little strange. There are really no strange creatures with distorted body proportions. It is no wonder that Mobak was so surprised.
"Shut up and work first." Shul pointed to the body and signaled to Militi who followed in with his eyes.
Making a gesture of understanding, Militi held the pendant on her chest, and the black energy began to radiate from the pendant, and the wailing faintly appeared, and once again silently appeared in the depths of everyone's heart.
"Saf, follow the whole process."
"Yes." Wenjing and slender female swordsman pulled out the 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 finished the work of the frozen entrance and exit. "Mobak, guard this door, Militi and Suff are behind you to check the bodies, and the way back will be given to you three."
"Hahaha, Mobak is the most reliable." The dwarf patted his chest hard, finally lifting his breathing restrictions and being able to speak freely. He was so anxious that he wanted to make up for the more than an hour of words. "Don't worry if you leave it to me. As long as my shield is there, no one can... Oh, don't leave, Captain."
"The others come with me and explore the whole room." Shure ignored the noise in his ears. "Macajren, check the traps and secret doors, confirm the location of each vent and drain. Mia, look for magic traps. Although 90% may not be available, then you must check it. Moria, always pay attention to the ingredients in the air. If you are successfully plotted by a group of low-level wisdom plants, you will be shameless to see people."
While speaking, he pulled out two maces and held them in the forefront with the halfling. This is the combat style of the combat priest. When there is plenty of manpower, he will drive the priest's duties in the rear. Once the battle situation requires it, he must pick up the heavy shield of the war hammer and rush to the front row to fight the enemy in close combat.
"In the name of Wind Sailo, I will not make any mistakes again this time." The halfling swears loudly that the shame just now must be washed away with practical actions.
As Mia's sticky light ball kept sticking to the roof, the room occupied by the darkness was gradually recovered by the light.
Shuer guessed correctly, but he also guessed wrongly.
It is indeed a dead end here, with only one entrance and exit connected to the outside world, but not as he thought, only one room, but four rooms.
When I entered the door, the room where the body was probably used as an activity room, such as dining table, sofa, bookshelf, and various strange and useless equipment. Judging from the experience of the shadow-tracking players, it should be various entertainment facilities to alleviate the boredom of the guards when they are not on duty.
There is a room in each of the three directions of the activity room.
The smallest and most weird one on the front. The most conspicuous thing in the room is a strange wall, divided into dozens of rectangular grids, with black glass embedded in the grid. When you stand there, the reflection of people can be reflected on the black glass of all grids, as if four people were being watched by a crowd.
"This..." Frowning and thinking for a while, Shuer asked Mia uncertainly, "Eye of the Master?"
"If this is really a guard room, it should be a similar function." The Elf Mage is also unable to be sure. After all, it is not a familiar world. There are too many unknown existences and can only be used to infer it by experience. "But the Eye of the Mage is directly reflected in the mind. This is probably displayed as an image, and each grid represents an image, but this is a bit inconvenient."
"Yes, people need to stare." Shuer pointed to the two chairs facing the wall. "It is difficult for one person not to be distracted, so it is necessary to have two people. In fact, even two people are difficult to keep their concentration."
"Well, for example, reading a book boringly." There was a long table in front of the chair. The paint on the table had begun to peel off, revealing the inner layer of wood, but the overall layer of the wood was still intact. There were a few thin books on the table, and Lin Jingmoriya was reading with interest.
"What book is so exciting to read?" It is Lin Jing's nature to be curious about strange things. Even the experienced shadow-seeker is no exception. Xiu Er had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
"The album is very interesting. You can learn a lot of things. Do you want to take it away and read it?"
It is indeed a very interesting picture album, which can be seen from the cover. On the pink background, there is a long-legged frog with blue and white skin printed on it. There are very few clothes on it, and the thick long legs are tightly clamped. One arm is laid under the head, and the other is passing through the raised belly and stroking its thick legs.
If you change characters, such as Militi, it must be full of temptation. But now, think about a frog doing something strange with this album, forget it, Shuer gave up his imagination.
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Shuer twitched the corner of his mouth and threw the album back.
"Eh?" Moria widened her eyes in surprise and said in confusion, "Why? You can't just look at a tree or a deer..."
"Hey, you're fighting yourself." Xiuer rolled his eyes and interrupted Lin Jing's teasing with angrily. "Be serious, the work has not been completed yet."
Indeed, although the safety level has become higher and higher, the danger has not been completely eliminated, and the exploration work must continue.
Of course, at least there is no abnormality 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 beds with up and down bunk walls placed on the walls. There are two boxes on the head of each bed, storing a small number of personal belongings. The bedding on the bed has long been ruined, but the barbed wire below is still very strong and does not affect use at all.
A simple dormitory is for the guards to use when they rest. There are no traps or unnecessary furnishings. Apart from the bed, the only furnishings are the twelve lockers at the door.
The locked cabinet is easy to pry, with some clothes inside, and...
"This should be a weapon, a hot weapon." Mia picked up a small metal device with a strange shape and fiddled with it for a few times. A slight "click" sound came from the device. "I remember those strange scholars named them guns, which is a strange name."
"People outside pay attention, it's okay here, don't worry." Seeing Mia's actions, Shuer shouted outside the door.
"Bang".
Sure enough, what followed was a blast and pungent smoke.
"What?" The halfling who was still under the bed almost hit the foot of the bed, rubbed his ears that were still tinnitus and complained, "Why did it suddenly sound so loud?"
"You have to get used to it slowly. There are many low-energy alien projections that contain such weapons." Shuer took the gun handed over by Mia and fiddled with it, "It's just too noisy."
"This should be the most ordinary weapon. It is too powerful and I can't break my skin, let alone yours." Mia shook her head, "It's okay for ordinary people to defend themselves. Unfortunately, it's ineffective when they bring the ammunition back and it's useless."
Indeed, due to the different rules of the world, when returning to Pavatiga, the same proportion of substances in ammunition are not combustible at all, and guns are like scrap iron.
"It seems..." Shur threw the gun back to Mia, looked around the dormitory, "I guess what the other room was."
"Article, there must be great power weapons stored in the security room." The elves over two hundred years old have the richest experience in Zhuying. Although they have not experienced similar worlds personally, they have heard of many.
"Well, the door of that room should be the most troublesome. Let's check it out in the end. Let's go to the opposite room first. If nothing unexpected happens, there is actually nothing to see."
There is really nothing to see. It was a very small room with only a few sofas and coffee tables, just to welcome outside visitors.
The only special thing is that the four corners of the roof have a movable metal plate. Of course, it is locked now. Judging from experience, there may be thermal weapons inside, which will carry out all-round attacks on the interior of the room without dead corners.
"Preliminary confirmation of safety." Returning to the security room, Shuer closed the door, "Mia, seal the door, Makajren, set up warning traps for all vents and drainage outlets, Militi, stop playing with the corpse, together with Makajren, set up a magic circle to explore life in the same location. Now, this room is ours."
"That's all today?" the dwarf shouted, "Can you rest?"
"Well, I encountered a lot of trouble as soon as I entered the door. Everyone was under a lot of mental pressure. Fortunately, I had already thrown away those difficult plants. At least I can ensure safety tonight. Please make some adjustments. Tomorrow is the beginning of treasure hunting."
"Really, really, have you really got rid of it?" The female swordsman habitually hid out of everyone's sight, looked at Moria, then looked at Shul, and plucked up the courage to ask in a low voice.
Obviously, she can't get rid of the shadows of "very trouble" and saber-toothed spider.
"At least get rid of it for the time being, Moria?" Xiuer asked Lin Jing with his eyes.
"Well, in theory, they can't threaten us anymore, at least I can't think of any other way."
"That's enough." Shuer nodded, "but always pay attention to exploration."
"clear."
"Very good, so the alert state is lifted. As usual, you lazy bastards, all work for me!"
