Chapter 710: The Temptation of the Star Stone (2/2)
Blowing arrows, the tip of the arrow is very short, similar to a sewing needle, the force is not large, the direct lethality is almost none, at most it makes people break the skin, and its maximum power comes from the anesthetic snake venom stained on the tip of the arrow.

Naturally, the three of Link were immediately hit, and each of them was shot with an arrow in the neck, and then fell to the ground 'groggily'.
After a dozen seconds, three guys in gray-black leather armor came out of the bushes, and the one who walked in front was also holding a metal crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow was wound, pointing in the direction of Link, which should be used just in case.
"Lift them!" The man waved his hand at the two people beside him, and the crossbow in his hand was still pointed at the three Link.
The two thieves rushed up and searched through the contents of the three Link, and found three daggers, an ordinary steel sword, a crossbow, and some valuable knick-knacks such as silver rings and jade necklaces.
"Head, that's all." A thief said.
The leading thief turned his head to look at the things on the ground, and looked up and down at the three unconscious people on the ground, with a smile on his face: "Very young, and the figure is also very strong, it can be counted as a warrior trade, and this ticket is earned." Go, search their bags right away. ”
"Okay." The two thieves answered, and ran to the side of the war horse, untied their bags and began to check them, these three people looked like merchants, and they must have a lot of good things in their bags.
While he was checking, a thief suddenly screamed 'ah', and the little leader of the thieves trembled and almost shot the crossbow arrow in his hand, and he was surprised in his heart, and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" ”
"Head, look, look, there's something good!"
The skinny thief turned around, holding a statue of a war horse in both hands, no, half to be exact, the back half of this war horse statue was cut off, the fracture was smooth, and it looked like it was cut with a sharp weapon.
What attracts people is the material of this war horse statue, translucent, and the whole body exudes a crystal warm light, which makes people take a look at it, and they can't help but want to hold this war horse tightly in the palm of their hands, stroke it gently, and never let go for a lifetime.
Seeing this half-cut statue of the war horse, the three thieves' eyes widened, 'grunted', swallowed their saliva, and then just looked at it blankly, as if they were stupid.
In this world, how can there be such a beautiful gadget, this is absolutely priceless.
After five or six minutes, the little leader of the thieves rushed forward, took the bag from his horse, and wrapped the statue in one fell swoop, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"This thing must be very valuable, absolutely priceless!" A thief muttered, his eyes staring at the package, and although he couldn't see the gem statue anymore, he could see the package, which made him feel reassured.
"Head, what should I do with this thing?" The other thief asked, his eyes glinting with an inexplicable light.
The little leader of the thieves is most familiar with this kind of light, and if they accidentally get something valuable, they will secretly take it and exchange it for money, and then the three brothers will squander it together.
If they can sell this gem statue, it is estimated that they will have no worries about eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of their lives.
But this time, the little leader of thieves did not respond, he remained silent, deep down, of course he wanted to keep this gem down, but there was a voice telling him that this thing was too valuable, too hot, and once the news leaked, they would probably lose their lives.
Is life or money important...... As long as there is a little sanity, you know how to choose.
After struggling for a full quarter of an hour, the little leader of the thieves gritted his teeth and said, "We can't eat this thing, so we're afraid that we won't be able to spend money in the end." Hand it in, and the Commander will reward us heavily."
Although the two thieves were unwilling, they subconsciously shuddered at the thought of the cruel punishment methods within the syndicate.
"Head, we listen to you."
As soon as he made a decision, the little leader of the thieves became much more active, and he said: "These three people must also be brought back to the commander, the statue is only half of the section, and they must know the other half of the clues." ”
"Head, that's what you're talking about."
The three thieves did what they said, and carried the three unconscious men on the ground on horseback, tied them tightly, and when they saw that there was still some broth in the iron pot, they sat down and drank the broth, and then led the horses along the path by the avenue into the depths of the woods.
Walking through the woods, the trees first became denser and denser, and after about ten kilometers, the trees began to become thin, and a river valley appeared in front of them, and from a distance, you could see a castle in the valley.
This is exactly one of the syndicate strongholds here.
The three thieves led the horses towards the castle, and when they arrived at the gate of the river valley, the bushes on the side of the road moved slightly, and a young man in black leather armor with a sturdy posture walked out, he looked at the three Links who were unconscious on horseback, and frowned: "Why did you bring outsiders in?" ”
This secret stronghold was known only to the Syndicate thieves, and the slaves they usually harvested were processed for resale while they were away, and they were never brought into the stronghold, as it would expose the stronghold, and the Syndicate did not like to expose themselves to the sun.
The little leader of the thieves nodded: "Yam, we got a really good thing this time, and we want to hand it over to the commander." ”
"Huh? Good stuff? "This thief's eyes reveal disdain, these three guys have no great skills, their combat spirit is only level 2, they will only capture those lone merchants as slaves, what good things can they get?
The little leader of the thieves grabbed his bag and walked over, lifting it a little to reveal the jewel statue inside.
"Hiss~" After just one glance, the thief Yam gasped, and his gaze when he looked at the little leader was already different: "It's really a good thing, I'll take you to meet the commander!" ”
He had never seen such a gem before, but he could feel the aura of power emanating from this gem, and its appearance was also extremely extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary, and the Commander would definitely like it.
He turned around and led the way in front, and said as he walked: "You three guys are really shit luck, you actually bumped into such a good thing, you will definitely get a lot of rewards this time." ”
"Hehe, Brother Yarms, I won't forget your share." The little leader smiled, there was no way, in this stronghold, his strength and status were not as good as this Yam, and he couldn't do it if he didn't bow his head.
"Then you really have a heart, haha." Yamm was delighted.
The group led the horses into the castle parapet, which was a courtyard, where the three Link, who were still unconscious on horseback, were unloaded and taken to the underground cell, and the thief Arme continued to walk into the castle hall with the three thieves.
The hall is very spacious, and the front is a huge statue, on which is a sturdy middle-aged figure, with a face covered, and a dagger stuck in each of his legs, the whole statue is generally hidden in the shadows, and the body details are very fine, and from a distance, it seems as if there is really a thief hidden in the darkness, and will jump out at any time.
This statue is Morpheus the Shadowwalker.
In front of the statue, a figure with a black aura all over his body, unable to see the specific face of the figure standing in the shadows, his eyes faintly emitted a faint red light, when he looked at the four people who walked into the hall, the four people suddenly felt that they were being targeted by poisonous snakes, and they shivered in unison.
"What good news have you brought me?" The man spoke, and his voice was very hoarse, and when it echoed in the hall, it was as if a poisonous snake was whispering in his ear, and it made people's hairs stand on end.
"Commander, the three of them grabbed three merchants and got this by accident." Yamm took his bag, stepped forward, and respectfully handed it over.
The commander took his bag, opened it and looked at it, and suddenly felt a sudden light in front of him, and the dark hall was much brighter because of it, as if a star had fallen from the mortal world.
"This statue...... This gem ....... It turned out to be a star stone! The commander couldn't help but exclaim, his breath was short, he knew the goods!
Stellar Stone.
Grade 16 Astral Meteorite.
Description: The appearance is as bright as the stars, and when mixed with Adamantite, the weapon created is invisible and does not leak any breath, and has almost perfect demon-breaking attributes, making it the first choice for assassin weapons.
(Note: There is only one star in the world, and the rest will fall.) )
While admiring it, the commander suddenly asked, "Why is there only half a piece?" What about the other half? ”
Such a priceless treasure is never too much, as long as there is a slight opportunity to get more, he will not miss it, and will do his best to seize it!
Judging from the fracture of this statue, this is cut by someone with a knife, looking at the appearance of the fracture, it is still very fresh, it should have been split recently, as long as there are clues, the other half can definitely be found.
Yamm hurriedly replied, "This gem was found in the merchant's luggage, and when it was found, it was only half a piece. Commander, do you want to bring them here? ”
Before the commander could answer, he suddenly heard a soft sound of "hum~" behind him.
When everyone looked at it, they saw that the eyes on the statue of Morpheus suddenly lit up, showing a dazzling blood light, and at the same time, endless coercion descended.
The four thieves in the hall immediately knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to come out.
Muffeus monitors the mental state of his high-ranking disciples, and once there is a violent fluctuation, he can sense it for the first time, and now that the Commander suddenly appears in ecstasy, his attention is projected through the statue to see what is happening.
As a result, he saw the star stone.
Recently, Muffeus always feels that something is not quite right, and there is a faint sense of crisis, in order to protect himself, he has been building powerful weapons for himself, but unfortunately he has too few good materials at hand, and he has not been able to do so.
The appearance of the star stone was like a traveler in the desert seeing an oasis at once, which made Morpheus excited.
With the Star Stone, he can definitely create a top-level holy weapon for half a thief!
The voice of all the thieves present sounded directly in their heads: "Bring this star stone and those three mortals to me, and I will interrogate them personally!" Be fast! Send it right away! ”
The commander was taken aback, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, my master, I will do it immediately!" (To be continued.) )
