Chapter XVI Normal and Abnormal

The violent crashing sound and the piercing sound of metal grinding shook the eardrums in the enclosed space.

What Saph suddenly attacked was a bookshelf by the wall, well, not a single book, a wooden "book" shelf full of debris and dust.

With a swing of the sword, the target was cut in two, leaving deep scratches on the metal wall behind the bookshelf, showing that the female swordsman was merciless in this sword.

However, there were no foreign objects at all except for the bookshelves, and the smooth section and the upper half of the bookshelves that had been turned over seemed to mock the sensitivity of the female swordsman.

However, it is clear that his teammates are not going to stop there.

The giant sword slashed across the bookshelf, and the sound of metal grinding had just stopped, and when the aftermath was still ringing in my ears, all the irritated eardrums heard a "buzz" again. The voice was low and powerful, like the sound of a full bowstring suddenly being released.

No, it's not like, it's just Moria's bow.

For a moment, indeed only for a moment, twenty arrows completely covered every space on the left and right of the bookshelf, and the feathered arrows sank deep into the metal wall, and the tail of the arrow was still violently shaking and buzzing.

"Stop. Stopping the follow-up attacks of the others, Shul stared at the bookshelves that were only half left, frowned and asked, "Explain the situation." ”

"I, I heard a voice. The girl buried her head in her chest and whispered timidly, "The sound is very, very small, but it comes from here." ”

"What about the others?" asked the others, but Shure just looked at Macajren, who had the most perceptiveness, and Moria, who had great instincts.

But all the answers were shaken heads, and no one heard the unusual sound.

"Yes, yes, yes, sorry. Saf's face flushed, and he kept bowing to everyone, "Maybe I heard it wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Smack", Shuer slapped the female swordsman on the thigh again.

Unsurprisingly, a miserable wail appeared, and for the shy Saf, it was as shameful as a public execution.

"It's just a coincidence, well, I just wanted to tell you to straighten up, who made you bow suddenly. "Your hearing is as accurate as your calculations, and if you hear something and we don't hear it, there's only one possibility." ”

"Well, everyone else heard it wrong. Moria nodded vigorously, "Still, that's the ...... you two are playing shame in public."

"Ahem, ahem. Before the female swordsman could react, Shul quickly interrupted Moria's rambling remarks and said solemnly, "Everyone stand back, and I'll see what the sound is." ”

"I'll do it, sir. The dwarf volunteered.

"Do you know what you're looking for?" the simplest of questions was enough to dismiss the dwarf's offer.

"Stand back. ”

Letting his teammates withdraw a few meters, Shur held the Dark Moon Holy Book in front of him, and the Holy Book emitted a soft light, shooting at the position of Shuer's heart, as if building a light bridge connecting the two sides, outside the light bridge, the soft light was like a light cocoon, wrapping Shur and the Holy Scripture.

No one knew what this magic was, and Shure didn't want to explain it, so he cautiously approached the bookshelf and carefully fiddled with the clutter on the bookshelf with a mace.

The iron box containing a few rotten biscuits, the chessboard with strange chess pieces, the strange and messy cards, the posters rolled into a roll, all kinds of things, made the small bookshelf suddenly have a little more life.

There was nothing unusual, not at all, and if it weren't for Shule's confidence in Saf's hearing, she might have misheard the sound of air moving or heat expanding and contracting.

Fortunately, Shul didn't think so, but after pondering for a while, he simply lifted the bookshelf, but unfortunately, there was nothing underneath the bookshelf.

"Everything is normal?" the necromancer craned her neck to snoop, wondering what could escape her life's detection.

"No, I found it. Shuer's eyes narrowed, and there was a faint chill in them, "Mushrooms." ”

Indeed, under the wooden planks at the very bottom of the bookshelf, there are several very small mushrooms, so small that it is difficult to spot them without looking closely.

This is also inevitable, although the ruins are not damp, there is always water vapor, and the bookshelves are wooden, so it is normal to grow some mushrooms.

People who think like this must not have felt the malice of those plants outside, otherwise......

"Moriah tests it to see if there is anything unusual in the air in the room. ”

"I'm doing it, but slowly. Lin Jing shook off his long black hair, and the long hair of the shawl actually twisted and moved strangely.

"Don't come here for a while, keep a safe distance. Shul held up the bookshelf motionless.

"The sound I heard has something to do with this mushroom?" Saph didn't rush over with nonsense like sharing happiness and suffering, but obediently took a few steps back and asked with some concern, "And why don't you put it down?"

"That's supposed to be the sound of a spore eruption, your ears are too sensitive for a normal person to hear. Shul frowned tightly, and the shadow slowly crept into his mind, "I hope I'm mistaken, it's not a good sign." ”

"But I didn't feel hostile, and neither did Ceren. When Miridy said Selen, she was referring to the skull she always held in her hands.

"The problem is that there is no hostility, if they are like the ones outside, it would be fine, but now ......," Shure shook his head, "among the countless anomalies, the only normal one suddenly appeared, and this is the biggest anomaly." Moria, have you found a problem?"

"Not at all, there are no plant-related particles in the air. The forest elves' hair reverted from vines to strands, "Are you sure they erupted with spores?"

"Of course not sure. Shul smiled bitterly, "Maybe...... Is it just an illusion or a coincidence? Hehehe, that's a funny joke. ”

It is indeed a very funny joke, a dangerous shadow-chasing operation, which may face mortal danger at any time, and entrust one's life to the illusion of "coincidence", which is really irresponsible, but now I can't find any doubt except that it is a coincidence.

"Macajayron, did you see mushrooms when you were exploring?"

"No, sir, I've looked at all the corners to check the traps, and I'm sure there aren't any of them. No, I've even checked the bookshelf you're holding, but I haven't had it before. ”

"Click". There were several cracks in the planks of the bookshelves.

Shur relaxed his somewhat disjointed hand and took a deep breath to calm his temperament. It doesn't matter if you hold your breath now, not to mention that Moriah has also confirmed that there is no abnormality in the air.

"They came in with us. There was a chill in Shuer's voice.

"Those plants?" everyone looked at each other, a little puzzled.

"I see, it seems that we are involved in a war, heh, a war that has ended unilaterally. ”

"What do you mean?" the two mages thought for themselves, but the dwarve's mind couldn't turn, so they could only shout, "Captain, what the hell is going on?"

"It's nothing, Mia, help ......" Shuer's order was halfway to a sudden stop, staring at the mushroom in front of him for a long time, slowly putting down the bookshelf, shaking his head and saying, "Forget it, don't do anything." ”

Lin Jing's eyes blinked, as if he understood something, but he didn't say anything, and everything was left to Xiu'er.

"One bad news and one good news. When Shuer raised his head, he couldn't see the original entanglement, and said with a normal expression, "The bad news is that some plants have followed us in, and we haven't succeeded in asking them." ”

"The good news, though, is that they've lost their hostility now, and as you can tell from this mushroom, they're not ready to deal with us. ”

"In that case, let's not provoke them, and keep everything as it is, as if we didn't find them. ”

"Alright, it's just a little episode, now that the relaxation time is over, you guys are back in adventure. ”

It's not just a phrase, it's time to relax, and once you're back in adventure, you'll have to be as cautious as you were at the beginning. Therefore, as soon as the order to return to the shadow-chasing state came out, everyone's hearts tightened.

"I was lucky to have a bed available this time, but not to be too relaxed and forget the safety first rule. Therefore, there must be no shortage of guards. ”

"Mia, Mobuck, you two first shift, Macageren, you take Mia, Saf, you pick up Mobuck, then me, here is Moria, and finally, Miridi, you come. ”

This is the most common vigil arrangement for the Shuer team, each person has two shifts, staggered succession, only two mages at the end of the line, and each only needs to be on duty for one shift, which can be regarded as giving full care.

"Understood. ”

"Very good, let's go to the dormitory to rest, just guard here at night. ”

Shure now looks completely normal, as if the episode didn't happen at all. However, everyone remembers very well that for several years he had never asked to return to a state of adventure when he was camping and resting, and his unusual behavior meant that things were not so simple.

"Go ahead, you have to be energetic these days, and you can't rest well. With a wave of his hand, he blasted away the few people who wanted to stop talking, and Shul still sat at the table, staring thoughtfully at the broken bookshelf, no one knowing what was going on in his heart.

"Hehe, let's go, Sasa. Lin Jing smiled innocently and pulled up the shy female swordsman, "That guy was scared by himself, don't worry about him, let's go to sleep and let's go to sleep together." ”

"No, if you fall asleep, you'll make me sneeze. Saph looked worriedly at Shure, who was still pulled closer to the dormitory by Moria.

"Why are you still here?" As soon as he came back to his senses and looked up, Shul saw Mia standing beside him expressionlessly, staring at him.

"You take my place, I'm the first shift. The elven mage said coldly, "Now it's time for me to say to you, don't get in the way, get out of the way, go to sleep." ”

"Tsk. Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "I'm afraid of you, I'll see you tomorrow, and that mushroom ......"

"I know, I won't touch it. Mia said understandingly, "I don't know why, but I can't do anything to cause trouble." ”

"Thank you. ”
