The building is composed of long strips of black stones, the texture of the stone is very special, the hardness is not too high, a little force can be used to leave a mark on it, but the mark left will be restored in a few minutes, there is no trace at all, and no matter how you rub it, there are no stone chips falling, no wonder these stones have never shown any signs of damage under the wind and sun.

No one knows what kind of stone it is, not even the geologist Mobuck can't see it, it seems that it can only be a specialty of this world.

I don't know where Makagelen pressed a few times, and the sound of masonry grinding sounded, and the spire of the building automatically flipped to one side, exposing the interior to the night.

Climb up the sixty-degree wall easily, and sure enough, beneath the spire was a large quadrangular space, empty except for a metal ladder that was fixed straight up and down. Strangely, the outside of the building is pure black, while the inside is golden, like a desert golden, and it is not known from which part of the stone block is divided into two different colors.

"Mia, air detection. ”

"It's done, exactly the same as the outside world. ”

"Unexpectedly...... I didn't expect that the interior was not a confined environment, and I didn't know how the builders could prevent the pervasive fine sand from invading the inside of the building on the premise of ensuring the normal flow of air, "Hold your breath and prepare the medicine, don't be careless, Macageren, Mobuck." ”

"Got it, sir. The two of them are old partners, and they didn't take the vertical ladder, so they jumped down and began to check the internal environment in case there were any traps.

"There are no signs of life, and neither are the undead. Before Shul could ask, Milit had already reported the results.

"There was no hostile reaction either, it was safe. Shuer has always been in his consciousness to detect hostility, and now he is finally relieved, turning back and beckoning to the three people below, pointing to where he is standing, and signaling the three of them to guard here for a while, so that they can enter and hide as soon as they encounter irresistible danger.

"Safety, sir. ”

"Go, go down, Macajalen, mark the switch to close the door. ”

"Here it is. The halfling drew a small circle on the wall, and sure enough, there was a stone lever on the black stone wall.

"What kind of metal is this?" asked Shure, jumping into the building, knocking on the ladder.

"The roughest iron products, the anti-rust treatment is also the roughest technology. Mobuck didn't even have to look at it to tell the difference, "But the environment here, even if you want to rust, it's difficult, I don't know why they want to do rust prevention." ”

"It won't always be like this, otherwise no living thing can live here. Shaking his head, he didn't waste too much time on this, "Fastest speed, comprehensive exploration, to ensure the safety of the internal environment." ”

Opening a stone door that was locked by chains, of course, there was a staircase going downward, and the staircase was also made of stone, exactly the same material as the outside.

The staircase stretched down one by one, each about four meters high, and according to Shuer's speculation, there should be five or six more floors, so it was buried quite deep.

Along the way, the general structure of each floor is exactly the same, there are four doors in the stairwell, leading to four different suites, although the exterior walls are quadrangular cone, but the walls of the interior rooms are still vertical, and the architectural habits are not much different from those of Pavatiga. The difference between floors is only the size of the suites, and even the number of houses is exactly the same.

Leaving Mobuck and Miridy on guard in the stairwell to make sure nothing ran into the room that had already been checked, Shurmia and Macageren began to check the room one by one, magic traps, physical traps, and toxins that I don't know if they would appear, the three of them happened to be responsible for one aspect each, which was a habit that had been cultivated over the years.

However, it is disappointing or satisfying that all the rooms are safe, there are no enemies, no traps, not even strange objects beyond everyone's comprehension, and this is a normal place for ordinary humanoids to live.

In each suite, there are the most ordinary living items, beds, cabinets, tables and chairs, although everything is stone, but every thing is closely related to life, there is no particularity at all, as for the things with the value of chasing shadows, it is even more needless to think about.

"Nothing. It wasn't until the last room had been explored that everyone returned to the stairwell in disappointment, there was a door to the outside, but the outside had long been buried under tens of millions of tons of yellow sand, and it was impossible to open it again, so it was simply up to Mia to find a way to seal it with earth magic.

"Not a bad thing, at least there is a place to live during the day. Shuer simply ordered, "The lower you go, the cooler it gets, but the farther away from the exit, it's not safe, let's live on the third floor, and the location is also under the sand, even if the wind blows, we won't be directly exposed to the wind." ”

"We'll go to the skeleton and take a look later, Macajalen, you and Mobuck stay to protect Kelly, and by the way, set traps on each layer, no need to attack, as long as you can warn. ”

"Chief, let's stay there and we don't have a problem with the pastor. Taking advantage of Kelly's absence, Macajalen whispered, "You take too much care of her, even if she is a client, but can you use this?"

"Be kind to her, don't be so repulsive to her. "In fact, Shuer has long found out that the shadowchasers are very repulsive to Kelly, and even no one has taken the initiative to talk to her except Shuer, even if it is passive, it is as simple as possible.

This can't be blamed on the shadow chasers, because it is the instinct of the shadow chasers to be wary of outsiders, and being able to accept her to join is already for the sake of Xiu'er and the face of the reward, and it is normal to reject her, and it is strange to be able to accept her. Especially Macajaylen, he joined the Shadow Chase team, but he was accepted after countless ordinary missions, and of course he had an opinion about Kelly, who could chase the shadow with his comrades when they met for the first time.

Shuer didn't care about this originally, anyway, it would be good to complete the task in the end, so he didn't remind everyone at the beginning, but he thought about a lot of things that night, and suddenly realized that maybe ...... Kelly was a little pitiful.

"Be a little nicer to her, at least normal, after all, she is likely to ......" Shuer wanted to stop talking, and finally decided to hide some things for the time being, after all, he was not sure, "In short, don't be too harsh, you will understand the reason by then." ”

"No problem, Captain, listen to you, and I won't bother with her for the time being. Not only did Macageren nod in agreement, but the dwarf also held his beard and said without any care, "However, captain, you see that I sacrificed so much, is it ...... when the spoils are distributed?"

"I'll give you a little less. It was a joke, of course, and Shul patted the dwarf on the shoulder and squeezed his arm hard in thanks.

"I don't care. Militdy blew her reverie-inducing fingers, "As long as she doesn't get in my way, as long as she doesn't mess with me, I won't target her in particular." But she wants me to be kind to her, sorry, it's difficult. ”

"Heh, it's okay, but you two shouldn't have a grudge, why are you so resistant to her?"

"She's so good-skinned, this idiot exhibitionist is jealous. Mia coldly exposed the necromancer's thoughts.

"Flat-chested, you want to try my tricks again. Miridy glared and snorted, "There's still a long break today, and I don't mind teaching you a good lesson." ”

"Huh, of course I don't have a problem if you want to die. The magic around Mia began to surge.

"Gone, worked. Too lazy to deal with the two female madmen who beat up every few days and closed the door, Shuer turned his head and left, "You two set a trap, let's go up first." ”

When he returned to the ground, he found that after nearly an hour of inspection, the brightness outside had increased slightly, and it seemed that it was not far from dawn, and the three of Moria were still on the top floor to stay vigilant at all times, and even Kelly, although she was low on energy because she hadn't slept all night, she still fought hard to keep herself from dozing off.

Sighing secretly, Shuer handed her over to the two people left behind to take care of, and pointed in the direction of the huge rib he saw just now: "You see, that's what I want to take a closer look." ”

Standing on a high place, everyone finally saw what Shuer cared about, that area, not only three ribs, but a large area of bones buried, covering an area of at least hundreds of meters, and a section of white bones was exposed every few meters.

When I got closer, I found that there were more white bones than I thought, and judging from the thickness of the bones, the owner of the bones must have been extremely large during his lifetime, and these bones probably belonged to it.

In other words, if you put all the bones together, even if you are missing, you can completely restore the general shape of the corpse, which is not impossible, and Milit is very good at doing this. It's not without meaning, knowing the general situation of the native creatures can be targeted and the follow-up can be arranged in a targeted manner, and an experienced shadow-chasing team will do the same.

The problem is that it is too troublesome, there is no time to waste on this, such a huge creature, just digging out the bones, it will take at least more than ten days, and the gains outweigh the losses, so I can only give up regretfully. However, there is an easy way to guess the shape of the corpse, although it is not very reliable.

"Here, here. Miridy waved everyone over, "Found it, this should be its skull area." ”

The flat, wide, protruding skull, the oblong and thick jaw, the spine that connects horizontally with the skull, and the thick and long body shape.

"This thing...... The more you look at it, the more it looks like a whale. Holding his chin, Shure smiled wryly and came to a conclusion.

"Not surprisingly, think of the undead we saw yesterday evening, but they were all in the shape of fish. Mia said indifferently, "Maybe before it became like this, this place was originally a deep sea." ”

"And the house is inhabited by creatures that resemble sea elves?" Shure shook his head, "Unlikely, don't forget that we looked at the room just now, and the furnishings inside are basically land items, at least they are not fixed to the ground, so this will not be the deep sea." ”

"But, these fish ......," Mia pointed to the bones, "you can't explain it." ”

"Yo Yo, there's good news. Moria suddenly jumped in front of Shul and said with a grin, "It's almost dawn." ”

"Uh, and then?"

"Then I could see farther and farther away. ”

Shul blinked, suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, picked up Mia and threw it on the back of the fawn, pulled up the unknown Saf with one hand, and pulled up Miriday, who was still fiddling with the bones, and ran away.

In the distant whitening sky, black sand and dust whistled, obscuring the sky and the sun.
