Chapter 647: Secret

In the flooded labyrinth of the eastern mountain area on the fourth floor, Ling Ze and his party were fighting monsters with the "Tilnelle".

"Attention, attention! The pincer attack on the right is coming! ”

Kirito's cry rang out, and with his shout, the claws of the giant crab in front of the bow of the boat were also waving.

With Kirito's warning, Asuna and Klein all dodged this blow, but the "Tirner" was not so lucky, after all, the waterway was narrow, and Ling Zekong had room to operate but had no room to play.

The right side of the "Tirnier" was struck by the pincers of the crab claws, and after a "click", it was followed by a violent vibration, and the whole ship shook from side to side.

To be honest, the new ship was attacked in the battle, and for everyone on board, it was no different from being attacked themselves, and there was even a more distressing feeling.

"Don't get distracted, take the opportunity to kill it!

Ling Ze stood in the driver's seat and reminded everyone who was extremely distressed that now was not the time to be distressed, if this crab was not killed quickly, the "Tirner" would only be attacked more, and it would be funny if it was really broken.

"Understood!"

Everyone concentrated and began to concentrate on dealing with the enemy, this "Destruction Cancer" is a fairly high-level monster in this flooded labyrinth, the huge body diameter of this big crab is as long as four meters, and the two large pincers are even thicker and harder, which is very exaggerated.

The "Cancer of Destruction" forcefully opened its jaws with many disgusting feet, and bubbles were accumulating in its mouth, which was its special ability "Bubble Breath", and if it was sprayed directly, it would be blinded, and it would be completely invisible to the front, and it had to be washed in water.

"I'm coming!"

With a shout, Asuna launched a "thrust", and she took advantage of the opportunity of the "Destruction Cancer" to accumulate bubbles, and stabbed it in the jaw, knocking the "Destruction Cancer" slightly up, revealing its slightly fragile soft belly with a white shell.

"Good chance!"

Ling Ze manipulated the "Tirner" to rush forward with all its might, and the "Flame Beast's Angle of Attack" equipped under the waterline immediately pierced deeply into the soft lower abdomen of the "Destruction Cancer".

The Flame Beast's Horn, the horn of the King Bear Um, emits high heat energy when attacking, and a large amount of water vapor erupts with the Tirner's spurt, causing the Crab of Destruction's dark green carapace to turn red at once, and half of the remaining HP bar is instantly cleared.

The "Destruction Cancer" died, and a lot of materials fell from it, including the "Destruction Crab's Carapace", "Cancer's Leg Meat", "Cancer's Claw Meat" and other fleshy items.

"There are crabs to eat today, the meat of this destruction crab is a D-grade ingredient, and I don't know if the taste can be satisfying."

Asuna clapped her hands, as the only "cooking expert" in the team, if this kind of ingredient prop is not ready to be sold, it will usually be directly handed over to her to be responsible for use.

"Crab, if only I could have something else, in Robbia's restaurant, I'm almost vomiting when I eat seafood."

Klein complained, I don't know if it's because Robia is a "water city", the restaurants in the whole Robia, big and small, have more or less seafood in the food, which really makes them eat enough in one go.

"Hmph, it's good to eat more."

Asuna glanced at Klein, there are only these ingredients, even if she can cook other dishes, there is no way to make them, after all, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice".

"Let's talk about the meal later, let's move on."

Ling Ze manipulated the "Tirnelle" to move forward slowly, the waterway in front of him was completely shrouded in darkness, and it was impossible to judge how big this flooded labyrinth was.

The reason why they came to this labyrinth was because the next stage of the mission was triggered from the old shipwright Ramoro, just as Ling Ze predicted, the "Water Transport Guild", which existed as the only background of "Robia", really had a follow-up plot, and it was not just a simple background.

When Ling Ze and the others drove their boats on the waterway in the "Lobia" neighborhood, the boatmen who belonged to the "Water Transport Guild" began to be hostile to them, and their words were unceremonious and full of hostility.

In this regard, the old shipwright Ramoro only gave a clue, that is, let Ling Ze and them follow the large ship that did not carry passengers but carried wooden boxes, and secretly went to find out.

Ling Ze and the others followed the ship to this labyrinth area, which was a ship larger than the "Ternier", but there were only four NPCs on the boat, and in the center of the ship were a dozen large wooden boxes covered with cloth.

If they just asked to intercept the ship, it would not be difficult for Ling Ze and them at all, there were only two big men armed with broad-faced knives on the boat, and then there were two boatmen who operated the large oars on both sides, Ling Ze and they could easily kill these guys.

But for tracking, it is also required to be tracked without detection, which is a bit difficult, after all, people are already very familiar with this waterway, even if the ship is huge, but the big ship can also move smoothly in the dark narrow waterway with skillful oars.

Originally, relying on Ling Ze's superb skills, they still clung to the back of the big ship even though they were not familiar with the road conditions, but after encountering monsters one after another, they still lost the big ship now.

"There's a tunnel over there, let's go check it out."

After driving in the dark for a while, Ling Ze and the others finally made a discovery.

"Looks like this is it, I heard the voice."

Ling Ze said as he maneuvered the "Ternier" to continue sailing in front of the dark waterway, and it turned out that in front of the tunnel, there was indeed a wide space, and it seemed that several waterways converged here.

"Is that the boat we've been following?!"

Kirito looked at the boat on the edge of the trestle in front of him with a surprised face.

The open space in front of them was even more spacious than they expected, with a diameter of about a hundred meters, and the one leaning on the edge of the trestle was undoubtedly the big ship they had been tracking, and the wooden boxes piled up on the ship were constantly being moved down from the big ship at this time.

The four sailors were the ones who carried the goods, and the men who took the box and carried it further above were a group of warriors armed with slender scimitars at their waists, they were thin but quite tall, uniformly dressed in dark gray leather armor, their faces were all obscured by strange masks, and most importantly, they all had long ears.

"It's a Fallen Elf."

Ling Ze recognized these guys, and their appearance was somewhat unexpected, as it seemed to represent a bad sign, and it seemed that the "Lobia's Water Transport Guild" had some kind of ulterior deal with the "Fallen Elves".

According to the commander of the "Dark Elves", the "Fallen Elves" are the descendants of those who tried to gain an invulnerable body by the power of the sacred tree before the ancient "earth was cut off", and were exiled, and they are adept at fighting in insidious ways such as poison, traps, and illusions.

"Why are they here?"

Kirito, Klein, and Asuna looked at each other, obviously not understanding the situation, the target should be the "fallen elves" of the "Emerald Key", why did they build a base in this place? And why does the "Water Transport Guild" in the main block of "Robia" help them transport goods?

"Is there a plot during the closed beta period?"

Ling Ze asked Kirito, who simply shook his head.

"No, this labyrinth didn't exist during the closed beta, and I've never seen this kind of Fallen Elf and Human NPC co-operation."

Kirito's face is serious, this is a completely unknown plot.

"So, have Robia and the Fallen Elves joined forces?"

Klein scratched his head, looking incredulous, could it be that even the main block is no longer safe now?

"We have to investigate the contents of those wooden boxes, I don't know if the main neighborhood of Robia is safe, but there must be a big problem with this water transport guild."

Ling Ze replied, this "water transport guild" has a big problem is already a sure thing, from the words of the old shipwright Ramoro before, it is speculated that in the past, there were many boatwrights like him in the "Robia", who were free to build gondolas for anyone, but the "shipbuilding business" is now monopolized by the "water transport guild", and the rule that gondolas cannot go out on boats is also formulated by the "water transport guild".

Obviously, this kind of control of ships is to hide this suspicious "trade", and the control of shipbuilding power is also to facilitate the construction of such special large cargo ships.

"What are we going to do? Rush straight up? ”

For Ling Ze's idea of wanting to investigate deeply, everyone is naturally very supportive, but how to investigate is a problem, although the "Fallen Elves" are red hostile buoys, but the boatmen's buoys still belong to the yellow of NPCs, can they really take the initiative to attack?

"It's too dangerous to rush straight up, we don't know how many fallen elves there are here, if there is a steady stream of fallen elves coming out of it, then we won't be able to escape."

Kirito shook his head and rejected Klein's casual offer.

While Ling Ze and the others hesitated, the deal between the boatmen and the "Fallen Elves" seemed to have been completed, and the figures of the "Fallen Elves" had disappeared behind a gate, and what remained at the scene was a "Fallen Elf" who looked like a leader and wore an even more terrifying mask on his face, he handed a small leather bag to a sailor, and the boatmen were very satisfied and got on the ship and prepared to leave.

"About 20,000 kol."

Kirito's eyes lit up, and he determined the approximate amount with just one glance, although he was not as powerful as Argo, but he could still do it with a rough estimate.

"Wait a minute! They seem to be coming! ”

Jerome, who was standing in front, suddenly shouted, the boatmen who had received the money had already driven the big ship out, and it was estimated that it would not be long before they ran into them.

"I don't have a choice now, let's take them down first."

Ling Ze quickly made a decision, there was no way, the "Tilnelle" was too large, and it was too late to make an emergency turn at this time, so they could only choose to face it.

"The good news is that the Fallen Elf leader is gone, and as long as we fight quickly, we will not alarm the Fallen Elves."

Ling Ze said this, and the other companions were ready, they were going to ambush the four employees of the "Water Transport Guild".

"It's coming!"

Soon, the big ship returned the same way and turned into the narrow tunnel where Ling Ze and the others were currently located, but the two boatmen and the two sword-wielding guards were very vigilant, obviously not expecting to be ambushed here.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Ling Ze jumped out of the "Ternier" with an arrow step, and then landed firmly on the big ship of the "Water Transport Guild", which made the two boatmen and the two guards stunned.

But before they could react, Kirito, Asuna, and Klein all jumped over with Ling Ze.

"Bang!"

Ling Ze went up and punched him in the face of the guard with the knife, this guy seemed to be the best of the four.

"Mix...!"

Before the guard knife was pulled out, he fell directly on the boat, and the other sword-wielding guard was directly put down by Kirito, Asuna, and Klein, but the two boatmen were very honest, they didn't even resist, and simply surrendered.

The battle was over in an instant, the two boatmen surrendered, and both guards were directly contained.

"Who are you?! Why is it here?! ”

The guard who was knocked down by Ling Ze asked in horror, but it was not Ling Ze's answer that greeted him, but another punch, which directly knocked him out of his vertigo.

"Now I'm asking you, why are you here? What did you give to those fallen elves? What is the secret between the Water Transport Guild and the Fallen Elves? ”

Ling Ze looked at the two cowering boatmen, which made the two boatmen tremble, but in the face of Ling Ze's question, the two boatmen were standard and ignorant.

"Is secrecy so good?"

Ling Ze couldn't help but be stunned, he had already confirmed that the two boatmen were not lying, and he also checked the memories of the two guards, these four guys really just came to deliver the goods, what they sent, why they came to deliver, they didn't know anything.

"What now?"

Kirito, Klein, and Asuna are all familiar with Ling Ze's approach, and controlling NPC questioning is really not something that ordinary players can do.

"Let them go, and I'll make them forget what just happened."

Ling Ze waved his hand, since he had already controlled these four guys, didn't he let him do whatever he wanted?

After a brief operation, the two guards and the two boatmen rowed away, except for the bruises on their faces, they were no different from when they came just now, and they didn't even take the 20,000 Ke Lingze.
