Chapter 224: The Ominous Movement of Death (6)
In fact, the town of North Lake had not completely fallen by the time the player received the news, and the city walls had only been breached. But everyone knows that once the siege war enters the stage of street fighting, it is basically equivalent to the city is about to change hands.
Although the soldiers of Northlake are still stubbornly resisting the attacks of the Drow Elves and the Blackhorned Minotaurs, everyone knows that it is very difficult to deal with a Night Killer like the Drow Elves in the dark. At the same time, it is also very difficult to deal with the fierce Minotaur in frontal combat, and the huge level gap and physical disparity make the aboriginal soldiers stand in front of the Minotaur like chickens.
Even if they howled and brandished their weapons and rushed towards each other, the final result was either chopped into minced meat by the Minotaur with an axe or sent flying out by a blow. As for the soldiers who rushed towards the Drow Elves, they may not be much worse in terms of physical qualities, but in the dark of night, the Drow are the real kings. Even if these drows are not good at escaping into the darkness of the shadow killers, they can still exert a very strong combat power under the protection of the night, and many times the soldiers of Northlake Town have not yet noticed that their enemies have been split by a snowy scimitar.
Regarding the affairs of Beihu Town, Chen Kai paid attention to it for a full hour, and at that time, there was very little news transmitted on the battlefield in Beihu Town. Although the battle in Northlake continues, there are not many players alive. All of the Drow seem to be very enthusiastic about being the first to strangle the player, and they don't know if they have been instructed by someone to destroy the graveyard and the Temple of Death in Northlake after breaking through the walls of Northlake.
All of them are preventing the player from being resurrected, so that the player cannot continue to join the fight after being resurrected. However, for most of these players, they didn't see it at the first time, and it wasn't until after the battle in Beihu Town that players found out about this problem by sorting out the battle data. Unfortunately, by the time this information was put together, the Drow Elves had already established themselves in the territory of Hugodi.
However, Chen Kai could spare his energy to pay attention to the battle in Beihu Town, and because He Liwen had discovered the highly toxic antidote that hurt them in the process of sorting out those Zhuo Er Shadow Killers, it was precisely because of the storage of these antidotes that Chen Kai was a little relieved. Because there is an antidote, then Drake and a few people will not die. And Chen Kai will not lose important subordinates. Unfortunately, the antidote is too rare. All the antidotes add up to only one dose for everyone. The next time they encounter the use of this poison by the Drow elves, Chen Kai will have nothing to do. The antidote made by He Liwen could only suppress the outbreak of the toxin, but it had no effect on removing this mixed poison, after all, there was a difference between the poison used by the drow elves and the poisons used by the human thieves on the ground.
The fires and explosions in the city gradually died out as more and more players joined the hunt for the Drow Elve, as players also participated in firefighting activities while capturing the Drow Elves to earn Kindness Points and Chen Kai's Quest Gold. Of course, the most important reason is that the drow elves responsible for arson have been caught. No one set fires and troubled the fires much faster, and the fewer fires allowed the town of Burkner to gradually quiet. It's a pity that this night is destined to be a night of heavy losses for Chen Kai, and when Xu Fei appeared in front of Chen Kai with his arm in plaster, he knew that he would never hear any good news.
"Boss! We've just lost about two million gold coins. At least a hundred houses were burned down, but luckily most of them were made of rock and could be used with a little renovation! The biggest loss was a small gem storehouse, where a batch of freshly mined spell gems had been looted by the Drows! At the same time, we also lost more than 200 soldiers, including 35 of our own soldiers who died in battle! The deadliest place was still on the side of the storehouse, and when the gem warehouse was looted, the patrolling soldiers and guards were killed! Xu Fei's face was as ugly as Chen Kai's, and tonight was definitely the most provocative night in the entire town of Burkner since its establishment. The most important thing is that the loss mentioned by Xu Fei does not include the loss of those gems in the warehouse, because these gems have just been mined and have not been polished, and they have not yet had time to be valued. But Xu Fei almost fainted when he saw the list of losses, because he saw a huge diamond weighing 4,500 carats on the list. That's almost the equivalent of nine hundred grams. There was almost a kilogram of giant diamonds, and the most important thing was that the miners who mined it wrote the word "natural perfection" on the diamond. A diamond that can get the black dwarf in charge of gem mining and transportation to write such a heavy label is naturally not ordinary.
In Xu Fei's heart, that diamond alone was worth more than 10 million gold coins, and he could swear to the sky that if the magic attribute was tested as a light attribute, all the temples would pay more gold coins to buy it. But now the diamond has fallen into the pocket of the Drow Elf, and Xu Fei knows very well that those Drow have definitely fled in the chaos of Burkner Town after they ransacked the gem warehouse. These drow elves were definitely not fools, they knew very well how valuable the gems they had looted were, and that diamond alone could make a large number of Saint-rank powerhouses hunt them down.
In the face of such a huge loss, Xu Fei did not dare to make an announcement, because he knew what would be the result waiting for them once it was known that such a quality natural diamond could be mined in the abyss of gemstones. Chen Kai is also very clear about this, which is why when he saw the list of losses in the gem warehouse, he slapped his palm on the table and finally sat down in a gloomy manner.
"Sue sù Barob! The veins where the diamonds were mined are temporarily closed! Damn Drow, Lao Tzu's money!! Chen Kai's eyes were red, if he had the strength, he would definitely be wielding a giant sword to kill Beihu Town to cut those Zhuo'er.
"Got it! However, it is better to temporarily seal the entire gem abyss! Xu Fei nodded when he heard Chen Kai's words, he knew very well like Chen Kai that a vein that could mine such high-quality diamonds would definitely be a disaster for the town of Burkner. But he absolutely can't just seal a diamond vein, it's better to temporarily seal the entire gem abyss, in addition to preventing the news from leaking, the most important thing is that the current situation forces them to do this.
"Alright! Directly put out the notice, and it said that traces of drow spirits have been found around the gem abyss! In order to prevent the drow from attacking the Gem Abyss, the entire Gem Abyss mine is temporarily sealed! Chen Kai rubbed his head, and then said slowly to Xu Fei, for the town of Burkner, the Jewel Abyss is an important source of wealth. There is nothing special about it, Chen Kai definitely doesn't want this financial source to break. But now he had to cut off this source of money with his own hands. Because he feared that this gold mine would become a scourge that would devour the entire town of Berkner. Although it is already a disaster now, at least Chen Kai can still keep him. If even more huge diamonds were mined in that diamond vein, then Chen Kai might not be able to keep this gemstone abyss.
"That's right! Those drows can't give up the hunt either! Now anyone who is well-informed knows that these drows have attacked Lao Tzu's gem warehouse, so we can't hide too much! Remove that diamond from the lost gem and post the rest! Sue sù those bounty hunters. Lao Tzu doesn't want anything else, as long as these drow heads, as for the gems, how much they can get back is theirs! When Chen Kai finished saying this, Xu Fei's eyes suddenly increased. Then there was a flash in an instant. Because even if that diamond is removed, the remaining gem is worth millions of gold coins, which is a very huge wealth, and the wealth is so great that even the powerhouses of the Holy Rank can be tempted.
Xu Fei could even imagine what kind of crazy state those bounty hunters in the entire Burkner Town would be when this bounty mission was released. For bounty hunters, as long as they give money, they can even do without their own lives, let alone hunt down the drow elves who are themselves enemies of the Hansting Empire.
In fact, not only the aboriginal bounty hunters were dumbfounded by Chen Kai's generosity, but many players were also very interested in this task. Although Chen Kai did not post any bounty attached to this mission, the stolen gem alone was a huge amount of money. This is more than three million dollars worth of gems sold in Burkner alone, and the value increases exponentially if it is sold elsewhere. At the same time, along with the release of the mission, there is also the news that the Gem Abyss is temporarily closed. The combination of these two pieces of news will lead to a result, that is, the market price of the entire Hansting spell gem will rise by one percent in a short period of time. Because the Gem Abyss has unknowingly become an important source of gems for the entire Hansting spell. Unknowingly, it affected the price of the Hansting Spell Gem Industry.
In less than half an hour after Chen Kai released the mission, the bounty hunters, mercenaries, and even players in the entire town of Burkna began to rush out of the city in a hurry and rush into the wilderness to hunt down the Drow elves. Many of them are skilled hunters, and even the Thieves' Guild, which has never been very fond of moving, is involved. Of course, unlike those bounty hunters who went for the gems that Chen Kai had announced, the well-informed Thieves' Guild actually went for the diamond that the black dwarf Pablo called the Heart of the Abyss.
In fact, Chen Kai and Xu Fei's worries are sometimes redundant, although this huge diamond comes from the abyss of gemstones, it does not mean that the diamond vein can always mine such a huge diamond. It was not easy to mine a large diamond, and it took a full week for this huge diamond, which was called the Abyss Star by the black dwarf Pablo, just to find and mine, and this was because the diamond itself was exposed. In order to remove this huge diamond from the ore intact, the Black Dwarves spent a great deal of thought and cost to get it to the surface intact. It would be lucky to be able to mine such a huge diamond in a diamond vein, and it would be a miracle if two of them appeared. Therefore, although the thieves' guild got the news of the appearance of the big diamond at the beginning, they did not rush to spread the news, because they also knew that there could be no second big diamond in the gem abyss, and they all waited for Chen Kai to auction the big diamond and then buy it when everyone didn't know about it.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the dark boss of the Thieves' Guild didn't know that the Drow would run to rob Chen Kai's gem warehouse tonight. He didn't expect that the heavily guarded gem warehouse, where more than a hundred soldiers could not stop the hands and feet of the drow elves. The large diamond that he had expected to buy would be snatched away like this, and the old nature of the Thieves' Guild was very angry and depressed. Therefore, the thieves' guild, which has not made much action in Burkner Town, has made a move this time, and almost all the high-level thieves in the entire guild, namely Leif and others, have attacked to chase the drow elves who have stolen the gems.
Of course, it would be best if they could get it back, because then they would save a lot of money to ask Chen Kai to buy it, and the most important thing was that no one would know that such a large piece of diamond had fallen into the hands of the thieves' guild. So the Dark Thirteen president also took matters into his own hands this time, because he didn't believe that Reif and Jike wouldn't be tempted by corruption when they saw the big diamond. Even he himself almost didn't have the heart to steal it when he got the news of the diamond.
It's just that he didn't expect that this big diamond wouldn't have time to be sent to the treasure house of Lord Chen Kai's Mansion after it was sent to Burkna Town. It was only preserved in the treasure trove of freshly built gems in the city. Although this treasure trove is also heavily guarded. But the level of defense is definitely much worse than the underground treasure house in Lord Chen Kai's mansion.
Of course, now for the branch leader of the Thieves' Guild, it is no longer a matter of what diamonds have not been delivered to the treasure house of the Lord's Mansion, he is more concerned about when he will be able to catch up with those drow elves. Although he was very confident in his tracking skills, he still brought Leif and Jike, the two deputy members of the Burkner Town Thieves' Guild, with him.
"Leif! How far are those guys! Dark Thirteen was still wrapped in pitch-black nightwear. However, at this time, Leif and Jike are also dressed in the same outfit.
"It's not far off! It seems that the lord is also very attentive to the treasure troves in the city, and the drow don't get much benefit! Leif picked up a few grains of dirt from the ground and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff, and he could clearly distinguish the faint smell of Drow blood from the dirt, which had apparently been injured during the ransacking of the gem storehouse.
"No lord is left untouched by his treasury! Especially our colleague. That guy is also a money grubber, and it's impossible not to do something in his own family's treasure trove! By the way, wasn't Leif just the little guy holding you to the waist with a dagger last time? Jik stood not far from Leif, playing with a dagger in his hand, but his mouth was laughing, but his eyes didn't take off Dark Thirteen's face.
"Don't talk nonsense! Keep chasing, if you can get that diamond back this time, you can all be promoted, and I can go back to the headquarters to enjoy the blessings! Dark Thirteen's masked face had no expression, but as his words fell, the figures of the three men all disappeared into thin air, as if they had never appeared.
Less than three kilometers away from Dark Thirteen and the others, more than thirty drow elves were running away frantically. They wore tattooed faces with expressions of excitement and disbelief. In fact, their robbery of Chen Kai's gem warehouse this time was just a whim, but they didn't expect to snatch such a large piece of diamond from Chen Kai's gem warehouse. When Drow, who was the first to touch the gemstone, felt the magic emanating from the diamond. Everyone knows that they are developed. Even among the drow elves, there are many knowledgeable people who have zài, and diamonds of this size are very rare even in the underground world, and this gem, which the black dwarf Bablo called the star of the abyss, exudes the same brilliance as a star even in the night. Such a diamond is simply a treasure-level thing, and all the drows know that they will be rewarded as long as they bring this diamond back, so they abandoned the shadow killer who was still assassinating Chen Kai in the city, and rushed out of the town of Burkna towards the old city of Hugodi.
But now they found that there seemed to be a group of people behind them, and as the Children of the Night, they could clearly feel a slight fluctuation of power coming from behind, although it was very slight but was discovered by the leader Drow. Everyone knew that snatching such a huge diamond would definitely provoke the lord's wrath, but they didn't expect to be caught up by running so fast and so far.
The moment they found someone behind them, all the drows chose to stay where they were and then sneak up and ambush with the leader as the center. But they found that their enemy was standing in front of them very arrogantly, and there was not even a single figure there before they found each other.
"Thieves' Guild! Shadow Thirteen! Keep the diamonds, and you can take the rest! Darkthirteen appeared in the wilderness with his mask on, and he shouted to the drow elves who were hiding in the darkness, but in the eyes of the drow elves, the human was a big fool.
"Kill him!" As the words of the leader of the Drow Elves fell, more than thirty Drow Elf warriors took out their scimitars and rushed towards Dark Thirteen. None of them are below the ninth rank, and as the strongest of the Drow Elves, they are not only a warrior but also can hide their own body, and they are very rare shadow warriors among the Drow Elves.
The thirty or so Shadow Warriors can be shadowed and possess the formidable combat power of warriors, which is why they can instantly kill the soldiers guarding the gem warehouse in the event of a surprise attack, thus committing robbery. However, they were also unlucky, and after rushing into the treasure house, they fell into the spell trap set by Fei Yun. Although the injuries were not serious, the smell of blood was discovered by the great thief Lef, and of course, the most unwise thing for them was to move towards the branch leader of the Dark Thirteen, the thief guild leader.
