Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fire

"Just the three of us need to come over today. Early the next morning, Shul pulled Dark, and the two of them ran together to the camp where the missing caravan was located, taking Linda, who did not know why.

This time, even the new moon was not brought with him, according to Shuer, the clues that should have been explored yesterday had already been explored, and it was a waste of time for him to follow, it was better to stay in the camp to strengthen the defense, as the ghost space phenomenon slowly subsided, a large number of scaring away demonic beasts will definitely migrate back, which will inevitably induce a small beast tide. If you don't strengthen your defense, it would be too embarrassing if you didn't get affected by the ghost space, but instead suffered battle damage in front of the beast tide.

It must be admitted that his worries are very reasonable, Warcraft have their own familiar territory, and they will indeed flee after being frightened, but they will definitely return later, and it is absolutely right to be careful. But Dark, who was familiar with Shur, didn't have to guess to know that Shul would not care about this little thing, he intended to open the crescent moon, presumably for other purposes.

"There's really no need for him to come along, I observed yesterday that he's mainly good at field tracking, not small-scale detail checking, right? ”

Duck nodded, the Crescent Moon Knight is indeed good at long-distance tracking in the field, he can only rely on tracking skills, follow hundreds or even thousands of kilometers behind a force, and even the daily camping time and approximate actions of the troops can be seen, but if he is really in a camp, he can't find out all kinds of details that may be problematic.

"So, what can I do?" Linda was puzzled, she had been wondering why Shul had asked her to come with her, but unfortunately, she had never been able to keep up with Shule's train of thought.

"You don't have to be nervous, you won't be put in danger. Shur reassured, "You know the caravan better than we do, and you just left the caravan's camp not long before the incident, so the first-hand information you have happens to be what we lack, and when we need your help to provide clues, we will ask you directly, and at other times, it is enough for you to follow and watch." ”

"Well, I'll do my best. Linda couldn't be sure if she could meet Xiu'er's request, but with her position, it was impossible to refuse, so she could only sigh, "If you don't do well, I hope you don't blame me." ”

"I don't blame you, your job is to provide information, and we'll do the exploration ourselves. Whew, if only Maka Jaren were here. Shul sighed regretfully, especially missing his teammates in the Shadow Chaser team, "Mia and Macajalen, if one of them can be present, it will be much more convenient than now, it's a pity." ”

"Macajalen?is that your halfling friend?" Duck and the halfling had only met once, and had never worked with each other, so they weren't familiar with each other, "It's a thief, that's no wonder, thieves are best at exploring small areas of detail." ”

"Well, but this is nonsense, they are sure that no one can come, and they can't catch up, and it's enough to have the two of us, too many people will get in the way, that's the main reason why I didn't let Xinyue follow. Saying that he was in the way to his face would definitely hurt his self-esteem, so he had to use this method. Shuer thought for a moment and added, "Today, I plan to go into the tents where the banquet is held, and since Marlene and the others are missing there, we must check them out, otherwise nothing can be solved by just thinking about it." ”

"Hey, you've decided?" Duck wasn't a fool, and of course he knew how dangerous it would be to break into the location where Marlene was missing, and with Shuer's guts, he didn't even dare to enter yesterday, which already explained everything.

He didn't plan to persuade Shu'er to go in, and even he didn't plan to get close to those tents easily, after all, staying outside and trying to find a way would be much more effective than really falling in. After six days at most, if they can't think of a way to rescue Marlene, Duck will try to enter the big tent and explore it one last time.

But he never expected that Xiu'er actually offered to get close to the most dangerous place, and he would go in today, which made him stare at Xiu'er very strangely, as if he had just met him.

"Don't stare at me like that, you have to go in sooner or later, with the situation inside the legendary ghost space, it's better to be early than late. Xiuer said with a smile, "I thought about it for a long time last night, I almost didn't sleep all night, I thought a lot about the ghost space, combined with our personal experience, I found some problems that need to be confirmed again, and these need to be ...... Well, it's already here. ”

As he spoke, the caravan's camp appeared in front of him, and the camp was still immersed in dead silence, and the open door was like a big open mouth, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

Seeing the door, Linda's body couldn't help but tremble, Shul didn't hide it from her last night, or didn't hide it from the parasites, everyone already knew what happened. Thinking that four powerful knights broke into the gate in front of him, and then never returned, and then thought that he had actually broken into it rashly yesterday morning, Linda couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

Fortunately, I was lucky enough to return safely, and if I was like the four knights, lost in that damn space, there would be no hope of survival.

Linda is afraid, Shuer and Darker will not, the second time they explore the camp, the two of them are a lot more relaxed, at least not as cautious as the first time, through the previous experience, although I don't know what the state inside the ghost space is, but at least it is safe outside the space, as long as they are not inhaled like Marlene, there will be no danger that suddenly appears, at least there will be no physical danger.

Approaching the gate, everything was the same as when I left yesterday, there were no traces of a few hidden tripwires, and it was clear that not only no one had come all night, but even the small animals did not dare to approach.

After examining a few tripwires, Duck smiled wryly, unable to tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing. No animals approaching, at least not destroying the site, and keeping the details of the camp as original as possible. But then again, the animals dare not approach, which means that the deterrent power of the ghost space has not subsided, and the connection with the real world is still relatively close, so that the possibility of Marlene and them coming back is higher, but the probability of their own side repeating the mistakes is also not low.

However, now he didn't bother to think about these things, and the most important thing now was to follow Shu'er to find out what he wanted to know.

Passing through the open gate of the camp, Duck deliberately looked at the base of the stake, where the mark left by Marlene was of course still there, and it was not the slightest difference from what he had seen yesterday.

"What's wrong with you?" Duck turned around and noticed that Shuer's state was a little wrong, his eyes were fixed on Marlene's imprint, and his gaze contained emotions that he had never seen in Shuer's eyes.

Fear.

When they fought side by side in the Shadow World before, several of them teamed up against many strong enemies, many of which were extremely powerful and seemed invincible. Even in the face of them, Duck had never seen it, and Shuer had shown a look of fear, and he even thought for a while that a person like Shul didn't know what fear was.

Unexpectedly, today he finally saw Shuer in fear, but the object of his fear, why is it a mark that he has already seen?

"Shul, Shul. Raising his voice sharply, Duck exclaimed, "Wake up, what do you see?"

"Whew, nothing. Duck shouted a few times in a row, and Shur woke up like a dream, smiled reluctantly, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I think of some bad things." ”

Deceiving people, definitely deceiving people.

Duck could see at a glance that Shul was definitely not telling the truth, and his gaze at that time was by no means a distracted expression that thought of other things, and what he feared must have something to do with the mark left by Marlene.

However, Duck did not continue to ask, after working together so many times, he had long been accustomed to Shuer's habit of pretending to be mysterious in everything and never saying it until the end. Since he didn't want to say, it was useless to ask, so Duck could only glare at him dissatisfied, and said angrily: "It's okay, don't block the door and block the way, and no one will tie you to the door to watch the door." ”

"I did spot a little bit of an anomaly, but I didn't pretend to be mysterious, I didn't say it, I didn't want to put too much pressure on you. Shure sighed and reluctantly explained, "Go ahead for now, don't worry, I'll tell you everything later." ”

"I hope so. Dark's attitude softened a little, "What now?"

"You check on the left, I check on the right, and Linda follows me, finally meeting up at the spot where Marlene and they disappeared. Shul admonished, "Check carefully. ”

"What are you looking for?"

"There's no fixed goal, anything you think is suspicious, write it down first. Shure pondered, "By the way, there is one thing to be careful not to touch anything in the camp. ”

"Huh, including the ground? I can't do that. ”

"Nonsense, it certainly doesn't include these, and does the ground belong to the camp. Shul rolled his eyes, "It refers to those things that will affect them after you touch them, such as tables and chairs, such as furnishings, and even those goods, in short, don't touch anything, just look at it with your eyes." Note that anything that looks normal can be left alone. ”

"Got it, no problem. Duck nodded, "You want to find something that could be a medium?"

"Yes, no one knows what the medium is, so we have to find out everything we find strange. ”

"No wonder you take her with you. "Duck finally understood Shure's purpose, "She knows what the original camp should be like, and she can judge the anomaly better than we can. ”

"That's right. Shul was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, but he became more and more serious, "Now, it's up to you and Linda to judge the first oddity. ”

Following Shure's gaze, the two of them fell on the fireworks in the center of the camp that were emitting faint light smoke, and it was it that caused the series of accidents that followed yesterday.

"Is it possible that under normal circumstances, such a fire would still smoke after a day and a night, or is it that someone, or something, is constantly adding fuel to it?"
