Chapter 23 The first floor

"Click, click." Mobak's metal combat boots stepped on the glass ground, and the monotonous footsteps echoed among the building complexes, and the dead city seemed extremely empty.

The dwarf holding the shield is always in the first row. For this shadow-chasing team, the dwarf Mobak is a barrier that will never fall, and there is no power to defeat him.

Four green ghost fires floated in front, back and forth in the team, illuminating the surrounding environment. There is no doubt that it was Militi's ghost light technique. This time it was not that Shur was reluctant to let go of the energy of the crystal energy lamp, but that Militi could be controlled freely by Militi, which was far more flexible than the crystal energy lamp in his hand. It is most suitable for exploration. As for the strange colors and shapes, there are inevitably disadvantages.

The halfling was not in the team, but was invisible in the darkness and wandering in front of the team. Whether in vision or hearing, Macajren seemed to have disappeared, and no trace was found.

Darkness is the close comrade of the thief. This is a saying that has been passed down for thousands of years. Makajren, who hides alone in the darkness, is probably far safer than his teammates in groups.

But is this true?

"From the northwest, two doors, one window, one, and be alert."

The biggest danger of exploring the city inside is that it comes from the inside of the building. The enemies on the road can be seen at a glance, and the enemies jumping off the top of the building also have traces to follow. Only the enemies hidden in the building are the most troublesome. Once they are ignored, they suddenly launch an attack from it when passing through a door and a window, which may cause huge trouble to the team. Therefore, the most annoying thing for experienced mercenaries is the actions in the city.

"Successfully passed." This is the reply from Saff at the end of the team.

"Continue to keep paying attention and take your attention away thirty meters away."

"yes."

"Mia, confirm again the direction of the energy delivery line."

"We are not wrong at the fourth transit node two hundred and thirty meters away."

"Very good, Militi, life perception, ensure that there is no living organism within a hundred meters."

"Confirmed, no exception."

The heart of Zhuying team was very tense. Although there were no intelligent creatures in the projection of the other world, and there was no abnormal reaction in the perception of life, this did not mean that there must be no enemies around. There were too many things that could hide their own traces, and Shuer could list at least hundreds of them. Moreover, any strange things could happen in the projection of the other world. People who completely believed in their perceptions would often die very happily.

"This layer is too messy." Lin Jing, who was wandering around from time to time, suddenly ran to Xiu'er, "It's not right."

"Well, it's really messy." Shul also saw the problem, "It's like being robbed, it's not robbed, it should be said that it was intentional damage."

The two of them were right, the first floor was in chaos.

The doors and windows of the building were broken, broken glass and iron scattered all over the ground, and many strange vehicles that assisted jumping were discarded on the street, and various debris were scattered on the road, sometimes without even a place to take a foot. Metal facilities that could not be used on the street were pushed down at will, often blocking the passage, and...

"There are a lot of blood here." Shuer suddenly waved his hand to stop the team, "and the shell of the hot weapon."

Indeed, by the wall in front of Shuer, the blue blood had dried up and turned black, covering the ground with a layer of shells sprinkled around, and there were still bullet marks left on the metal wall of the building opposite.

"It seems that there has been a fierce battle here, and there are quite a few casualties." He pointed to several similar traces around him, and said with a frown, "Who are these frogmen fighting with?"

"Captain, aren't it the enemies you mentioned?" The weight-bearing dwarf took the opportunity to take a break, "What's strange about this?"

"No, it's not those things. The entrance above is intact and the enemies have not attacked." Shur shook his head, "Did this battle break out from the inside, or... a riot?"

"It's possible," Mia said thoughtfully, "I've been trapped here for too long, and the frogs have begun to kill each other?"

"This is impossible to judge, but there is one biggest question." Militi looked around between several battlefields, "Didn't you notice, is there anything missing here?"

"Well, there is no corpse." Shuer drew a circle on his chest, strengthening the magic of perceiving hostility to the limit.

"Yes, there is no corpse, no human, animal, or any corpse."

Since the streets are so chaotic, it means that neither side of the battle has the energy or time to clean up the battlefield, and there is even no time to recover weapons. Since the situation is so urgent, no one should have the heart to deal with the corpse, and it is handled so clean that there is no left.

"Tsk tsk, it's not that the corpse took it away by itself." The undead mage talked about the corpse without any scruples and had the intention to tease it.

"Stop guessing, the target is preferred." Shuer pointed ahead and made a continued gesture, "No matter what, turn on the light first. In an unfamiliar environment, darkness is not good for us, Marca Jaylen."

"I'm here." In the shadow not far ahead of the team, the half-length voice suddenly appeared.

"You are ready to... die!"

Xiu'er's position was on the edge of the team, and when he was halfway through his order, a sudden change occurred.

Among the mess around him, a black shadow rushed out without warning, as fast as a black lightning, and in an instant it had already pounced behind him.

Seven powerful golden-level combat professionals and seven experienced veteran mercenaries, but none of them discovered the raid in advance. Until the attack had begun, the people with the sharpest perception changed their faces.

The black shadow's speed was too fast, almost as fast as the sound of breaking the air, and did not give the attacker any chance to react. Perhaps those physics professions who were close combat might still respond in time, but no spell casting profession would have time to react.

Except for Shuer.

After more than ten years of hard work in my hometown, I fought countless times through life and death. The accumulated combat experience finally showed its effect at this moment.

The body leans forward and the muscles contract, and may be only a few millimeters away from each other, but it is enough to change the result of the attack.

The sound of ripping silk, the thick cloth robe was torn apart, and the attack of the black shadow almost rubbed against the skin on Shuer's back, leaving a few trembling on the skin.

At the same time, the muscles of Shuer's arm had already raised high, and the power of the magic technique was blessed on the body. He raised the hammer and swung it horizontally. The white light of the magic technique flashed on the hard nail hammer, and it hit the black shadow's head firmly.

"Bang", the dull and heavy thrust sounded like an explosion in the quiet city, and at the same time, there was a crisp sound of bone shattering.

The Golden-level combat priest can exert amazing power, and it is no surprise that he can smash the skull.

But, another thing is strange.

The skull was obviously smashed to pieces, but the shadow that launched the attack was not affected at all. With the power of the mace, he dragged his head into a ball, and jumped into a building and disappeared.

It was not until this time that Sav's giant sword and Moria's gun landed beside Shul together. They actually made actions while the attack appeared, but they did not complete it until the attacker left. It is conceivable how amazing the attacker's speed was.

"Stop, don't chase." Before the others showed their pursuit, Shuer stopped it in advance. The current environment is rashly pursuing it, and it is meaningless except for venting anger.

"What?" The two mages looked at each other, and a cold sweat appeared on their backs. Fortunately, the other party's target was Shuer. If it were the two of them, they would probably not have time to react.

"The formation shrinks, intensive defense, Marca Jaylen, you're back too."

The formation immediately changes with the order, shortening the distance can at least help each other.

"Militi."

"I'm sure there is absolutely no display in life perception."

"Saph." Shure's eyes turned to another.

"I, I, I..."

"I'm fine, don't be nervous, and you don't blame me. I'll answer the question directly." Facing the already a little confused female swordsman, what I have to do is not reprimand but comfort, so that I can get the answer as quickly as possible.

"I, I'm sure, there is no breathing, no heartbeat, no movement, absolutely nothing."

"Well, I believe, there is no warning for my perceived hostility." Shul squinted his eyes and said slowly, "It seems that this thing is definitely not a creature, is it a dead soul?"

"Stop kidding." The necromancer denied it immediately, "If it is a deceased, I can find it on the second floor, and it will never be a deceased."

"What the hell is that?" Mia finally had the opportunity to ask her question in her heart, "I only saw a black shadow, and I didn't see anything clearly."

"A dog." The dwarf thought for a while and added loudly, "At least it looks like a dog. Damn it, my eyes were cheated by a dog, bastard..."

"Shuh." Shul interrupted the dwarf's complaint in anger, "Its head was smashed by me."

"I saw it." Moria still looked heartless, but her body was tightly attached to Xiuer. On the hot fur, Xiuer could feel the slight trembling of the forest spirit, which was a trembling mixed with fear and anger.

"But it ran away normally." Shuer patted Lin Jing's body to comfort him, "No creature can do it, Militi."

"I said that it is definitely not the dead."

"Okay, I believe it." Shuer nodded seriously.

He really believed that no profession can be more sensitive to the undead than the necromancer. Since Militi twice denied the possibility that the other party was a dead person, this is the fact.

The problem is, it's not a creature, it's not a dead soul, it has no breathing, no heartbeat, what the hell is this?
