"Saph, record, these nine letters, should be the meaning of grocery store or something. ”

"Such a big grocery store?" In front of a two-story building, several people looked in, the building was supposed to be rows of neatly arranged shelves, and all kinds of groceries were displayed on the shelves, but now, most of the shelves have been overturned, broken shelves, useful goods, and useless garbage are all mixed together.

"Well, let's record it...... Large grocery store. Shuer coughed dryly and added, "Although there are many kinds of places, the essence has not changed, it is still a grocery store." ”

"Hmm...... That's true. "Even if Xiu'er is talking nonsense, the female swordsman will probably nod her head very seriously, not to mention that what he said is not unreasonable.

"Boss, cough cough, don't irritate us yet, will this so-called grocery store go in or not?"

"If you don't enter, it's too chaotic inside, the situation is complicated, and the danger is relatively high. And it is unlikely that this kind of store will have a harvest, and it is completely pointless to go in and go to the next one. ”

Experienced shadow chasing team, the speed of exploration is actually very fast, even if it is an absolutely unfamiliar world, most of the places only need a few glances to judge whether there is value to explore.

Most people have misconceptions about the exploration in Shadow, especially newcomers like Macajalen who are participating in Shadow Hunt for the first time. In fact, when adventuring in the world of Pavatiga, many of the places that need to be explored are worthless when chasing the shadows.

Just like this, well, the big grocery store, it is true that there is a wide variety of goods, and it seems that the odds of finding good things are high, but the vast majority of the goods here are the most common things in daily life, and there is no value to bring back. On the contrary, it is the kind of inconspicuous places, such as exhibition halls, laboratories, workshops and other houses, that often have the opportunity to find good harvests.

"Eh, is the exhibition hall the one on the other side?" I don't know if Lin Jing just found out, or if she deliberately didn't say anything in order to make trouble, anyway, she didn't point to the opposite side until now.

"Moria, don't make trouble, there's a hall of characters, and it's all statues and character introductions. We don't understand their words, so what else can we do there but admire a bunch of statues that look the same? ”

From the end of the battle to the present, Shull's team has explored a small part of the first floor, and the first floor is basically an industrial building, full of various machinery and conveyor belts of unknown purpose, most of which are beyond the comprehension of the team members. Although during his exploration, Mobuck discovered several metals that were not found in Pavatiga, but those were actually alloys, and the basic elements were indistinguishable from Pavatiga.

Of course, this exploration was not without results, at least for Shuer.

"Huh, there's a catch?" Mia and Miridy subconsciously glanced at each other, and immediately looked away with disdain.

In the loot search stage, the division of labor of the shadow team is also obvious, except for Makageren to remove obstacles to exploration, and Saf to ensure the safety of the projection environment, others are good at different fields, such as Shuer, who is mainly good at the humanities and language fields, and his gains are often related to this.

"I had a misconception about frog people and a misconception about the city. As they spoke, they walked around a building with nothing and into another room.

"When I first came down, because the environment of each layer was obviously different, I thought that the frog people had a strong sense of hierarchy, and people from different classes lived on different levels, such as the poor people lived on the first floor. ”

"Isn't that so?" rudely kicked open the two tables that stood in the way, and the dwarf threw away a silver plate in his hand.

"Probably not, we have explored some of the dwellings just now, like slums? The furnishings and furnishings are not luxurious, but they are by no means shabby, and if they are all slums, then I can hardly imagine how luxurious the dwellings above the storeys are. So I think that the various floors of the city are not divided by rank, but by function, and the first layer is the industrial area, and the people who work on the first floor basically live here. ”

"Didn't understand at all, idiot, did you understand?" the dwarf was not ashamed in the slightest.

"Idiot, ahem, ahem, too lazy to pay attention to you. "Macajaren is very idle now, these rooms are not like the ruins that have been explored before, there are no traps and traps at all, which makes him bored and drowsy," Chief, this place looks like a restaurant. ”

"There is no such restaurant, not so much a restaurant as a place dedicated to serving food to a large number of employees. Shul thought for a moment, "Saf, what's that book called?"

"Cafeteria. ”

"Yes, that's the name. Hmm, Mia, did you two find anything?" Shul noticed that the two mages looked at the kitchen door and turned back, and their faces were a little strange.

"Well, you'll find out if you go in and have a look. Mia's expression darkened.

"Hehehe, I see, tsk, forgive me for refusing. Finding that Saf and Macageren were still a little confused, Shul said with a mysterious expression, "Guess what, what is the staple food of frogs?

"Uh......" The halfling suddenly realizes that sometimes imagination is not necessarily a good thing.

"Not only that, but I don't think it's really a city either. Throwing the disgusted-looking halfling aside, Shul went on to explain, "Half of the first floor has been explored, but it's not ...... that there are more than half of the industrial facilities necessary for a city."

"Stop now. Saph suddenly grabbed Shure's arm, "I can't go any further." ”

"Huh?" Without hesitation, several people stopped in the air as if they were frozen, and stood motionless.

"Well, it doesn't have to be like that. The female swordsman blushed and lowered her head, and said embarrassedly, "It's not coming to this point right away. ”

"Hmm, do you mean you're at the border?"

"Yes, about a hundred meters ahead is the border. Saph whispered, "To be on the safe side, it's better to stay away." ”

The so-called boundary is naturally the invisible dividing line at the edge of the otherworldly projection, and once touched, it will be pulled closer to the endless void, and all the annihilation from the body to the soul will be annihilated. In the past, there have been many shadow chasers, driven by greed, who thought it was okay to get closer to the strange things in front of them, and then never came back. Saf didn't want to see the people he cared about repeat the mistakes of the past, so he gave a hint early.

"There's a small half of the city outside the borders. Shul frowned. But if you think about it, you chose this direction before because Savo measured that one of the breakaway points was nearby, and the breakaway point must be on the boundary line, so there is nothing unreasonable for the boundary to appear here.

In fact, for most shadow chasers who want to break away as soon as possible, the appearance of the border is not a bad thing, because finding the boundary means that the point of separation is not too far away, and looking along the boundary line can often be quickly disengaged.

But that's for a flat area, and now you're in an eight-story three-dimensional city, and the point of departure can appear in the open space of any floor, as long as it's on the boundary line. In this way, the appearance of the border line is not only not convenient, but rather a problem.

"Whew, it's fine. Shul finally sighed, "Stop exploring, Save, draw the location of this boundary first, you can do it." ”

"Fifteen minutes. Saph didn't even think about it, just dropped the backpack on the ground and began to pour the equipment out of it.

"Don't rush, take your time. With a schematic diagram of the boundary line, each floor searched according to the location of the schematic diagram, and soon we could find the exit, and it is estimated that by tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to go home. ”

"Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?" Mia asked, puzzled, "Ever since you found out that the situation here might be related to plants, you've been getting more and more anxious. ”

"Fifteen minutes, it should be in time. Shuer hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "I guess why the guards outside committed suicide." ”

"They don't want to be like the frogmen in the city, but they don't dare to escape?" Mia's guess made sense.

"No, I think you are in reverse order, they were parasitized first, and in order to prevent the people in the city from becoming like them, they chose to commit suicide, which can also explain why the people inside didn't even dare to collect their bodies. ”

"Wait, wait, Shuer, you say parasitic?" Moria, jumping directly to Shuer's side from a distance, "Those frogmen are not plants, how can they be parasitized by plants." ”

"There is a strange insect in my hometown that lives normally underground in the winter, but in the summer, it burrows out of the ground and freezes, and a lot of plants grow out of the body. In the winter, when the plants die, they return to normal and burrow back into the soil. ”

"Hah, that's funny. Lin Jing said with great interest, "It must be fun to keep it as a pet." ”

"You have the courage to pet a worm that is more than forty meters long. "This kind of insect is actually parasitized by plants, no matter winter or summer, they are controlled by plants, but those plants in my hometown have no intelligence, and the actions of controlling insects are completely instinctive, but what if they have wisdom?"

"So you've been worried that we're also parasitized?"

"Isn't it worth worrying?" Shul asked Mia, "think of those hundreds of frogmen." ”

The elven mage was silent, his head bowed thoughtfully.

"I don't want to hide it, you're dangerous right now. Shul suddenly turned to the halfling, stared into his eyes and said seriously, "More dangerous than you think." ”

"Ahem, ahem, I just choked, I should be fine. ”

"Hehe, the corpses of people who were lucky when chasing shadows can already build a city. You ......"

"It's drawn, Shure. The female swordsman suddenly sent the drawn map to Shu'er like a treasure, "I didn't check it this time, because it's all measured readings, and there is no need to calculate, oops, don't make a head." ”
