Chapter 14 Testing
Upstairs, Mobuck protects Shure and is frantically testing the threat of sandstorms and the undead, while the people downstairs are already prepared.
Readiness for battle.
Before Shure went upstairs, he only explained that he was ready to fight at any time, and did not elaborate on who the target of the battle was, but no one took it lightly, and the highest level of combat readiness was not a joke.
According to the tacit understanding cultivated in the past few years, one's own side is at a disadvantage, and the preparation before fighting with an enemy who is stronger than oneself can only be regarded as a high-level battle, and the highest level of combat preparation is issued before facing those enemies who are impossible to defeat at all, and can only struggle to survive even if they try their best.
In the current environment, there is naturally only one enemy that may have this level of threat, and that is the sandstorm outside that is enough to grind flesh and blood, and the undead that fly like lightning in it.
So, everyone is ready, the weapon is close to the side, the mental power is restored to the best, the spell casting materials and the ammunition consumed are placed in the most convenient position, and the energy of the magic props is full,
Pastor Kelly sensed the change in the atmosphere, and was even a little nervous. In fact, it is difficult for Kelly to feel nervous, fanatical believers have given everything in their lives to the gods, to live for their faith and to die for the gods, this is the glory they could not ask for.
As early as when she entered the otherworldly projection, she already regarded herself as a dead person, she knew that she would never return to Pavatiga alive this time, and dying in the otherworldly projection was her inevitable destination, so she would never be nervous because of the danger.
What she was really nervous about was that she was worried that she would die too soon, and if she died now and couldn't get the items that the gods needed, then even if she died ten thousand times, she wouldn't be able to forgive her mistakes.
It wasn't just her who was nervous, but also the white wolf lying at her feet.
The poor head wolf went astray and was rescued when he was seriously injured and dying, although it was only a wild monster, it was much stronger than many higher intelligent creatures, at least it knew gratitude, and it was also smart enough to know that now was the time to be together, so even if it was in the same room with the shadow chasers, it would not attack everyone.
And, perhaps because of the treatment it received from Kelly during its near-death experience, it was exceptionally kind to the priest of Lord Wendy, and actually meekly lay at the feet of the female priest and pretended to sleep, as long as the others got too close, it would grin and threaten, and the threat would not be actively avoided, only Kelly, even if it accidentally touched its body, it would only wag its tail, like a loyal ...... Big White Dog.
Although the white wolf was not smart enough to understand human speech, he could at least read the atmosphere, and when it read the nervousness in Kelly's body, it also stood up, and looked up cautiously at the upward stairs.
Everyone was paying attention to Shuer's test, and the last scene that happened was seen by everyone who stayed downstairs, and it also made everyone's hearts tighten. Hold your weapons, seal your spell, pull your bowstrings, and wait for the next moment of collision to happen, ready to fight the intruding undead.
However, to everyone's surprise, the accident did not happen.
The undead who were running on the upper level did not hit the spire of the building exposed by the shield, but directly bypassed the building as before, and flew away in the sandstorm into the distance, while the undead on the lower level still persistently rushed to the shield, hitting the shield one after another, as if they had some deep hatred with the shield.
"Tsk, interesting. After dozens of impacts in quick succession, Shul suddenly opened his eyes and relaxed his fingers with the spell seal, and as his eyes opened, the shield covering the outside of the building completely dissipated in the mirrored image, leaving no trace.
This time something finally happened.
Of course, the conical building grows larger and larger the lower it goes, and it is impossible to avoid it like the upper floors. The shield suddenly disappeared, causing the undead who had collided with it to lose their aim, but they rode the wind, and the speed was so fast that they didn't have time to completely change direction, and although they were obviously trying to dodge, there were still three or four unlucky undead who crashed headfirst into the pitch-black building.
Then, crush the bones.
The fate of these undead is worse than hitting the shield, after all, the shield has a certain elasticity, which can absorb part of the energy, so that the two sides will not bear all the impact, but the wall is rigid, and the impact is almost evenly distributed to both sides, so that several undead become scattered, and bone fragments fly sideways in the wind.
As for the building, it was incredible, such a heavy impact did not have a little impact on the building, everyone didn't even feel the shaking, and there were no traces on the exterior wall in the mirror image, as if the impact just now was just an illusion.
The undead who followed were even stranger, as if they had forgotten that there was once a special shield here, and continued to fly around the building in a daze.
And so it was. Shuer obviously wanted to do something, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up his original plan, and just sighed softly, "It's a pity." ”
"Captain, what is the pity?" asked Mobuck in a sinister voice.
"I want to open the roof and try it. Shuer said with a smile, "It's a pity that I don't dare." ”
"Hehe, hehe. The dwarf couldn't help but laugh dryly at the thought of the seemingly endless array of bones.
"Go, go back. As soon as Shuer stood up, his body shook and he almost sat down again, Mobuck just wanted to come over and help, but Shuer had already returned to normal, shook his head and said, "It's okay, the consumption is a bit big, just rest for a while." Let's go, don't keep them waiting. ”
In fact, you won't be in a hurry, it can be seen from the test just now that the building is very safe, and it will never be broken by the sandstorm and the tide of the undead outside, and it is unlikely that you can encounter any danger inside, if you can, you will try to find this kind of building to rest in the future.
"Eh, is the test done?" As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Moria holding a few leaves, teasing the lost white wolf like a rabbit, and the white wolf was lying on the ground and ignored it, his eyes were full of disdain like an idiot, as if he was wondering how this stupid deer had survived until now.
Seeing that Shuer had returned, the fawn stuffed the leaves into his mouth and said happily, "You are finally back, and if you don't come back, Sasa will pull my tail off...... Woooooooo ”
Flushed and rushing forward, Saph jumped on the back of the road and covered Moria's short mouth.
I was just a little nervous for a while, and I just grabbed it a little tightly, why did I have to say it, and I said it so exaggeratedly. The female swordsman's brain was already in chaos, and white smoke was about to burst out of her head.
"Hehe, Sasa is always worried about that. Shuer leaned over and patted the female swordsman's thigh with his hand, adding a fatal blow, "That's why it's so cute." ”
"Boom", Save fell directly from behind Moria, her eyes were scattered, and she was obviously in a state of escapism under the joint attack of two evil guys.
"Tut-tut, that's so sweet. In order to prepare for the battle just now, Militi has taken off the cloak that is in the way, and is wearing the cool clothes that she likes like every day, showing an ambiguous smile, slowly licking her lips with the tip of her tongue, and said coquettishly, "I'm also worried about you, don't you think I'm cute?"
"That's natural. Shuer chuckled and squinted his eyes and said, "Who can give a negative answer with a clear conscience to such an obvious question?"
"Oh, hehehe, I'm getting better at talking. Fingers caressed her moist red lips, and Miridy's eyes seemed to be clouded with a layer of mist, "Do you want to give you some reward?"
"I can't ask for it, hehe, or else, right here?"
"Knock knock", the elven mage knocked on the table and said expressionlessly, "Have you had enough, just get down to business when you've had enough." ”
"Hehehehehe, enough fun, enough fun. Shure returned to his seat as if nothing had happened, and regained his seriousness, "What do you think?"
"Security can be guaranteed, although I can't figure out how it works. Mia said the most obvious conclusion of this test, and it is also the reason why everyone can relax for a while. I don't know what the future holds, but at least I'm safe and secure when I'm inside the building.
"The wind hasn't stopped?" Shure asked with a deep groan.
"Yes. ”
"What was the scene?" Shure asked, "I only use energy sense, not as intuitive as you see here. ”
"The few conclusions you guessed in your mind should be correct. Schoul didn't say what he had in mind, and Mia didn't ask, but a lot of the time, teammates didn't need to explain too much.
"In other words, the outer wall of this building is indeed useful for the undead?"
"yes, that's why they crash to pieces, not the building collapses. Mia nodded, "And it's not just about crafting, it's not just about building. ”
"Well, I understand. Shul was not surprised at all, and said, "Can you think that the stone used for construction and the black sand on the ground are actually the same thing?"
"It's not certain, but at least it works similarly. Mia pointed to the exterior of the building in the mirror, "It can block the perception of the undead, so that they can't detect foreign objects inside, and it can also make the undead reluctant to approach easily." ”
"So last night we hid under the sand, just to isolate the undead from their sense of anger. Shul nodded slowly, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop, "See anything else?"
"Only bones were seen, no ghosts. "That doesn't make sense. ”
"Indeed, the two most basic categories of undead should exist at the same time, are there any?"
"And besides, I have made discoveries. Moria leaned on the table and raised her hand, looking like she was making trouble, but there seemed to be a little reproach in her eyes, "I found that if you don't go to rest, tomorrow will ...... No, it won't be able to slow down tonight. ”
"Uh, okay. Shul smiled bitterly, Moria and Saf knew him too well, Saf was too shy to speak, and the fawn didn't know what shyness was. I don't know whether it was distress or joy sighed, Xiuer said helplessly, "It's going to be dawn, let's rest first, let's stay here all day today, and ...... in the evening."
"Look, it's dawn, and it's ......"
Macageren rarely interrupted Shure's order, pointing to the scene in the mirror with a look of disbelief.
Indeed, the day dawned, and the vast desert shimmered with golden colors in the sunlight. Not only in the desert, but also in the buildings that shelter people, they also sparkle in the sun, and they are also dazzling gold.
"Whew, sure enough. Sighing again, Shuer shook his head and said, "Anyway, rest first and regain your energy before you go to research." ”
