"Where's the box?!"

Hearing the exclamation of the leader man, the red-haired woman reacted, and seeing that the place where the box should have been placed was now empty, the red-haired woman panicked for a moment.

That's when it happened.

"Rustle"

There was movement in the grass next to the grass that had been hit by five frost arrows, and the leader immediately shouted, "Fimina and I are chasing, you two are on standby." ”

So the leader man chased after the red-haired woman, and the other two teammates and the rest of the silver-level adventurers stood by in case anything of the other tributes were missing.

"Hey, what's in that box? I think those four gold-level adventurers seem to be very attached to that box. ”

"yes, yes, the box never left their 1-meter range."

"The city lord only told those four, and we, the Silver Ranks, are not qualified to know at all."

"I don't know who is so bold as to steal under the noses of the gold-level adventure team."

As soon as the leader and the red-haired woman Fimina chased out, those silver-level adventurers began to whisper and discuss there.

One of the two gold-rank adventurers left behind yelled at the silver-rank adventurers behind him in a rough voice, "Quarrel with a hammer?!" ”

Another gold-level adventurer in a magic robe spoke, "Calm down, everyone, I believe that Captain Carlo and Fimina should be able to deal with the thieves soon." ”

On the other side, Carlo and Fimina.

"Why isn't there a single figure? Can't you find it even if you find it? Carlo asked eagerly.

Fimina knew that Carlo chose to come with her because she had the detection skill, but when she found that the box was gone, she had already activated the detection skill.

From that time to now, Fimina didn't even notice anything, and there weren't even low-level demonic beasts nearby.

Fimina was also anxious at this time, after all, Carlo had already explained that she had to take care of it, but she disappeared under her nose.

The two searched separately in the vicinity for a while, but still found no clues.

"How, what to do?" Femina asked with tears in her voice.

Carlo also frowned, motioned to Fimina to stop, and began to analyze: "I thought of two possibilities. ”

Fimina hurriedly asked, "What is possible?" ”

Carlo replied, "First of all, the person who stole the Rainbow Diamond is superior to us, and he is good at concealment. If this is possible, I'm afraid the two of us won't be able to find it. ”

Femina continued, "What about the second possibility?" ”

Carlo replied, "The second possibility is that the thief used teleportation magic after he got his hands on it, or he used a magic item like an escape scroll. ”

Fimina frowned and said, "But there are only a few people in the entire kingdom who have teleportation magic, how can those few identities do such a thing?" ”

Carlo nodded and said, "So it's very likely that magic items were used. ”

Fimina said uncomfortably: "If these two possibilities are true, then we can't recover them now?" ”

Carlo was silent, frowning as he pondered what to do with the matter.

After a while, Carlo muttered, "If we can't bring back any clues to explain, I'm afraid we will not only accept a fine, but also be demoted." ”

Fimina covered her mouth with her hand in surprise, tears began to flow slowly, and apologized, "Yes, I'm sorry." This is my responsibility, let me take the punishment alone. ”

Carlo hurriedly comforted: "Our team has been born and died together for five or six years, how can you bear it alone?" ”

"But—" Fimina couldn't help but sobbed before she could finish speaking.

Carlo was silent for a while, then said slowly, "I have an idea, Fimina, you listen to me. ”

Fimina wiped away her tears, stopped sobbing, and nodded.

Carlo told Fimina what he thought: "Three pandaren adventurers disappeared this morning, and now they don't know if they are alive or dead. It's better to..."

After hearing this, Fimina looked at Carlo in shock, unable to say a word.

Carlo also expected Fimina's reaction, and said slowly: "I'm just telling you my thoughts first, whether we want to do this or not, we have to go back and discuss with Puvo and Lells before deciding." ”

Femina frowned and thought about it for a while, but she couldn't think of any better way, so she had to nod.

The two of them then returned to the convoy along the road.

The people who had been waiting in place saw the solemn expressions of the two of them, and vaguely guessed that the result of the pursuit of the two was not ideal, and those silver-level adventurers began to discuss secretly again.

Puvo took out his weapon, the Demonite Hammer, from the storage ring and stomped the hammer headfirst down to his side.

"Bang!"

The loud noise silenced everyone behind them, and Puvo held the end of the hammer handle with one hand and shouted with the other hand on his waist, "Discussion! Don't you enjoy the discussion? Those who like to discuss come out and discuss with me. ”

Lears hurriedly walked up to Carlo and Femina and asked, "How is it?" ”

Carlo shook his head helplessly, and then continued: "Let's continue to set off first, and the four of us will discuss it again in the evening." ”

With that, Carlo went to order the convoy to move on.

In the evening, the four of them sat around the fire and began to discuss while eating.

"I agree with Carlo." Puwo said as he took a sip of a bowl of wine that had just been heated over the fire.

After listening to Carlo's idea, Puvo agreed without hesitation.

Lells hesitated, "But if those three panda people are still alive and proven innocent, wouldn't our consequences be even more serious?" ”

Puvo scoffed, "Find them, and then kill them, won't anyone know?" It's just three silver-tier orcs, you scare a hammer. ”

Lears looked at Carlo and wondered if Carlo was also planning to kill someone.

Carlo was silent, just nodded.

Fimina had no appetite at all at this time, and said sadly: "Or, or let me bear it alone, I plead with the guild and ask that I be demoted only to the bronze rank, even if it is to the bronze rank..."

"Don't be stupid, Femina. If you go down to the Bronze Rank, you won't be able to take on the Gold Rank with our team. Carlo frowned.

Lears also nodded and said, "Either do what Carlo said, or bear it together, and climb from the silver level back to the gold level together." ”

Puwo took a bite of the meat and said as he chewed, "Don't fall back to the silver step." It took us four years to rise to the gold level, and it took us half a year to become the gold level, and we want Lao Tzu to return to his original form? There are no doors! ”

Fimina said guiltily, "Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Puwo, everyone..."

Although Puwo has a hot temper, he still treats Femina like his own sister.

Puvo hurriedly smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay, Fimina." My brother won't let you downgrade, don't worry. ”

After some internal struggles with Lils, Femina finally agrees to Carlo's proposal.

So, the next afternoon.

After arriving at the Adventurers' Guild in the royal capital of Ciris City, he lied that three pandaren adventurers had stolen the Colorful Diamond and escaped using the escape scroll.

Of course, the four were not exempt from punishment and were fined one million Lutes, but they kept their ranks.

"A million... It hurts to think about it. Puwo said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Femina said guiltily.

Carlo waved his hand and comforted: "Now is not the time to talk about this, you have to hurry back to Wardle City to find those three panda people, otherwise the trouble will be even greater." ”

The four of them returned to Wardle City overnight in a horse-drawn carriage. After dividing the area that each person is responsible for finding, the action begins.

But the four of them searched for a whole day, and when they saw the adventurer, they asked, but there was no trace of the three panda people.

The next day, the four of them continued to search in different areas, Lils was in charge of the city, and today the wanted notices for the three panda people were posted.

Lils would squat in the Adventurer's Guild, and whenever he saw someone behaving a little unusually after reading the wanted post, he would approach and inquire.

As a result, the discussion of Ning Wushuang and his party at that time was overheard by Lills.

When the other three returned to the inn in the evening, Lils told them what he had heard. Without hesitation, the four of them immediately rushed to Chinorite and spent the night looking for the so-called bamboo forest.

Of course, Puwo is also quite skeptical about the reliability of this information, and also complains about why panda people can't eat other things and have to eat bamboo.

However, Carlo said that he had indeed seen the scene of the three of them sitting and eating bamboo together, and had come up to greet them, so he thought that the bamboo forest was worth looking for.

But when they went to Mount Chinolite, because it was night, they couldn't observe the bamboo forests on the three peaks from a distance.

So the four of them had to start searching from the top first, and they searched until the next day before they finally found it.

However, at this time, the three panda people had already followed Ning Wushuang and his party and were descending the mountain.

Carlo took the three of them to ambush Ning Wushuang and his party on the road they had to pass, and arranged for Fimina, who was the easiest to assassinate, to try to sneak attack the three pandamen, and if they succeeded, they would retreat immediately and not entangle with Ning Wushuang and his party.

Unfortunately, the plan did not go as planned.

——

"Captain Carlo, the three of us just came here to collect bamboo at night, and we fell behind by some accidents." The yellow-clothed pandaman explained.

"No need to explain, chicken and dog thieves, today I will sacrifice my giant hammer with the blood of the three of you." Puvo was the first to speak.

With that, Puvo took out the Demonite Hammer from the storage ring.

"Damn, I'm kind of handsome." Yu Feng couldn't help but whisper.

Ning Wushuang smiled helplessly and said, "This hammer is estimated to cost a lot of magic ore to build, and it is definitely not cheap." ”

Yu Feng looked at the three panda people, smiled darkly, and said, "Isn't there 200,000 Lutes here?" ”

The yellow-clothed panda man hurriedly said, "The three of us are really innocent. ”

Yu Feng patted the yellow-clothed panda man on the shoulder and said to Carlo and his party: "Don't worry, no one can touch our 200,000." ”

Carlo smiled and shook his head and said, "I see, you are their accomplices, and you are helping them avoid being wanted." In that case, let's just solve you too. ”

After saying that, a giant sword also made of demonic ore appeared in Carlo's hand.

When Carlo clenched the giant sword with both hands, his eyes as he looked at Ning Wushuang and his party revealed a fierce aura.

Ning Wushuang and his party also hurriedly entered the battle preparations, knowing very well in their hearts that what was coming would be an unprecedented bitter battle for them.

"You three should also pay attention, their main target is still you. I'm not sure if the three of you are innocent, but I'm sure there are ghosts in those four. Ning Wushuang reminded.

The yellow-clothed pandaman nodded, and also took out his large slingshot.

Zou Haoyun looked at the red-clothed pandaman who had already used "Flame Attachment" and teased: "You better rest, after two moves with Yu Feng, your head was almost smashed, isn't fighting with the Golden Rank looking for death?" ”

"You fart!"
