Chapter 393: The Big Deal
"It's not black gold. Suhe picked up a piece of metal in the box and whispered, "This is another precious metal that is very similar to black gold, black steel." ”
"Ink steel?" Xiao Lin muttered softly, "Can it also be used to forge blades?" As soon as he heard about another rare metal, his mind suddenly became lively, and he wondered if he should take these ink steels away, and there would always be a time when they would be useful in the future.
"You can take one or two pieces along the way, and you won't need more. Suhe said softly, "And if you take too much of a breath, I'm afraid it will arouse the alarm of the other party." ”
Xiao Lin was waiting for Su He's words, smiled softly, looked at the ink steel in the cargo box with green light in his eyes, and carefully selected it.
The ink steel in the cargo box was actually about the same size, and Xiao Lin looked at it for a long time and finally took two pieces, and stuffed them into his combat backpack with his hands and feet.
"Did you find anything else?" asked Sukh, looking at the rest of the group.
"I've got some cotton or something, and I don't have any precious metals. Mu Xuanyi said.
"I'm pretty much the same here. Qin Ke said softly, "It's all cheap goods, and I can't find any traces of precious metals after I rummaged through them carefully." ”
"We're here too. Linglong said softly, she and Ji Xuan'er acted together, carefully rummaged through several boxes and still couldn't find anything, and now the only container that stores precious metals is the one Xiao Lin found before.
"I'll make a mark, and I'll go to the next warehouse. Su He said softly, and then he used the Qingshuang Sword to make a faint mark on the cargo box, which was impossible to notice if he didn't look closely.
"Let's go. With a wave of his palm, Su He quietly retreated from this warehouse with Xiao Lin and a few others, and swept towards the next warehouse.
There were two guards guarding the door of the second warehouse, but they still could not escape the assassination of Suhe and Linglong, and the two of them quietly killed the two guards under the cover of night, and took the key from one of them to open the door of the warehouse.
Xiao Lin looked at Su He and Linglong's assassination actions, and wondered in his heart that Su He was not only powerful in swordsmanship, but also so good at assassination, just like a professional killer.
However, what Xiao Lin didn't know was that Su He was a professional killer back then, belonging to the highest-level assassination unit of the Black Court, and he didn't know how many people he had killed with his amazing assassination skills, so he had the code name of "Killing Sword".
Later, because Su He withdrew from the establishment of the Black Court Assassination Force, he rarely used assassination techniques in his daily missions, and in most cases he faced the enemy head-on and won with pure combat superiority.
"Squeak", a soft sound came out, and the door of the warehouse slowly opened, although it was only a very light sound of opening the door, but it still felt extremely harsh in everyone's ears.
"The door is too loud. Mu Xuanyi hurriedly turned his head and swept around, fortunately no one noticed here, otherwise their whereabouts would be exposed in an instant.
"Is there any way to hide the voice?" Xiao Lin said as he looked at Qin Ke.
"I can't do it yet. Qin Ke shook his head, although he is a spiritual ability, but after all, he is still in the growth stage, many advanced methods have not yet been mastered, although covering up his voice sounds like a very inconspicuous thing, but it is quite difficult to do it, at least Qin Ke can't do it yet.
"Try to be as quiet as possible. Sukh said softly, "I have no other way to completely silence the voice, but to pay attention to myself." ”
"Okay. Mu Xuan shrugged his shoulders, and then the figure of their group flashed and jumped into the warehouse.
This warehouse was different from the one they had searched before, there was only one crate in the entire huge warehouse, the color was darker and thicker than the one they had seen before, it looked like it was made of completely different materials, and the safety factor was probably higher than the previous one.
"It doesn't look like this crate can be opened by brute force. Sukh walked over to the side of the crate and looked at it carefully.
Not only is the material of this cargo box very protective, but it is also equipped with a lock that is impossible to open without a dedicated key and password.
"Can you pry it open? Mu Xuanyi muttered quietly.
"Probably not. Xiao Lin said with some hesitation, he pondered that this box looked very sturdy, and I was afraid that it was not so easy to open.
"There's definitely something in this box. Mu Xuan licked his lips and said, he really wanted to know what was in this box, but he didn't have the ability to open the box, which made him itch in his heart and feel uncomfortable.
"Qin Ke, pull up the enchantment and cover up the energy fluctuations as much as possible. Suhe said with a serious face.
Seeing this, Qin Ke hurriedly formed a knot on his chest, and a spiritual fluctuation that was imperceptible to the naked eye spread to the surroundings, instantly covering the entire warehouse.
Ji Xuan'er on the side was not idle, her hands immediately put on Qin Ke's shoulders, and her palms lit up with a pale green light, and she began to restore Qin Ke's mental strength.
This tacit understanding has slowly developed between them, whenever Qin Ke wants to use a spiritual system method that consumes a huge degree, Ji Xuan'er will always consciously help him recover his physical and mental strength.
Su He saw that Qin Ke had already laid a spiritual enchantment, slowly took a deep breath, and held the Qingshuang Sword tightly in his right hand, he didn't know if he could cut this cargo box open, but he had to try.
The light on the Qingshuang Sword became brighter and brighter, and a sharp sword qi began to roar in the warehouse, if Qin Ke hadn't spent a lot of effort laying down a spiritual enchantment, otherwise this powerful aura would have been perceived by others long ago.
Of course, even if the spiritual barrier is planted, it will not be able to hide it for too long, and Suhe must fight quickly, only in this way can his whereabouts not be revealed.
"Snort", a soft sound came out, and Su He quickly slashed out a sword, the sword light was so fast that it was difficult to detect, and he stood silently on top of the heavy cargo box.
"Ding"
A few sporadic sparks splashed on the crate, and a notch was imprinted on the hijab, but it failed to open it, Suhe shook his head helplessly, and muttered softly: "It seems that brute force is not enough, let's go to the next warehouse." ”
Mu Xuan stared at the box all the time, and finally could only sigh helplessly, although he wanted to know what was in the box, but since he didn't even know what was in the box, it was even more impossible for him to open it, and he could only hope that the key to the box could be found from those guards or in other warehouses.
"The key to the cargo box will probably be in that control room, and we can search for it when we get by. "Let's hurry up and go to the next warehouse." Immediately, he led Xiao Lin and a few people to quickly rush towards the third warehouse.
At this moment, the night is already very deep, and there are quite few guards still patrolling around, most of the guards have returned to their rooms to rest, Suhe estimates that less than half of the guards are still standing guard in shifts, and the entire warehouse area is empty at a glance, and it is difficult to see a walking figure.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Suhe and his party, the fewer guards on duty, the easier it will be for them to act, and the more radical they can be, not as they were at the beginning.
"There's someone up ahead. Qin Ke suddenly said halfway through, "From the breath perception, the ability is not weak, and it is more powerful than the guards we encountered before." ”
"In what direction?" Sukh asked softly.
"Northwest, just around that corner. Qin Ke pointed to the distance and said, there was a path between the two warehouses, turning into a shadow in the distance.
"Follow me. Su He said, and then quietly touched the corner, holding the Qingshuang Sword in his right hand, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and it was difficult for the naked eye to detect that there was actually a figure advancing in this place.
In contrast, Xiao Lin's movements are relatively easy to detect, and they can see a vague outline acting in the dark more clearly, Linglong is better because she is good at assassination, but she is still incomparable with Su He, the gap is too big.
"Wait here. Sukh commanded, and then his figure disappeared into the darkness, and swept towards the far corner.
Soon, a dull sound came out, and Su He swept towards them with a figure on his back, and the guard, who was not weak in Qin Ke's perception, was killed by Su He in a few breaths, and lost his life unconsciously.
"Why did you carry him on your back?" Xiao Lin asked.
"There is no place to dispose of the body, and when you find a place, you will throw it away. Suhe said softly, "And this person's outfit is very different from the previous guards, I'm afraid he is a more high-status existence here, and he may have something on him that we can use." ”
"There is a bunch of keys here. Mu Xuanyi took out a bunch of keys from the guard's waist and made a crisp sound.
"Quietly. Xiao Lin grabbed the key to prevent some sounds that could easily arouse the alarm of others because of the collision.
"There's probably the key to open that crate. Qin Ke said softly.
"And a letter. Linglong took out a pale yellow envelope from the guard's bosom with a red seal on it.
"I'll see. Sukh took the envelope and tore it up, and muttered as he pulled out the letter inside, "Is there anyone still writing letters these days?" Nowadays, almost all countries use communication compasses and various electronic devices to convey information, and writing letters is really an ancient method.
Su He spread out the letter and read it carefully, his face slowly became ugly, his brows furrowed more and more, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "The Wanbao Chamber of Commerce actually colluded with Chaos City, and it was a big deal?"
"What is the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce?" Xiao Lin asked in a low voice.
"You don't know this?" Mu Xuanyi said in astonishment, "This is one of the three famous chambers of commerce on the entire continent, and their wealth is said to be comparable to that of the Empire. ”
"And then?" Xiao Lin asked blankly, "They should be able to do business with Chaos City." ”
"This ......" Mu Xuanyi didn't know how to answer.
"Whoever they do business with is naturally their freedom. "But judging from the current situation, it is likely that they have financial dealings with that mysterious organization, and have become the consortium behind that organization, providing financial support." ”
"Does this mean that the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce and the mysterious organization are colluding together?" Xiao Lin said softly.
"It can only be said that there is a possibility. Suhe said with a frown, "More intelligence is needed to judge." He had a heavy feeling in his heart, and as the exploration process continued to advance, more and more forces began to be involved.
A mysterious organization, a wealthy chamber of commerce, two strange ore veins, a warehouse with a large amount of goods, a missing convoy member and an unknown killer, and a big deal that could be carried out at any time, what was originally just a field mission to eliminate a stronghold has become very tricky, and the road ahead is intricate and shrouded in fog, making it difficult to see where to go.
