In the quiet swing path, the remaining floatboats gather together with each other.

In the first float, the gray-haired old man said dejectedly: "The eighth float has also lost contact!"

"What do we do now?" a wizard in a Pop Chamber of Commerce uniform said in a deep voice, "This is definitely a plot by the Crimson Scorpion, they want to separate us so that we can be defeated individually." ”

"The problem is that not only are we lost, we don't know how these floatboats disappeared!"

The worried voices of the captains of the other ships came from the communication equipment: "Even we don't know now which float boat will disappear when the next wave of communication equipment loses its effect!"

"They don't disappear for no reason. The gray-haired old man said sternly: "At least I can be sure that the captains of those vanished floatboats are not dead. ”

"They were just transferred. ”

"Anyway, we've got to figure out how to crack it. ”

At this time, someone suddenly shouted:

"Report to your lordship! We've found something out there! There's something wrong with this tunnel!"

......

On the eighth float, everyone watched this scene nervously.

They were involuntarily pulled upwards by a tremendous force, and eventually entered a black cavern.

And in this place, they finally saw the black silk threads clearly!

That's a special kind of spider silk!

"Demon Hunting Spider!" said an old man with a heavy face, "The spider's silk has the effect of weakening witchcraft, but fortunately, it will not make our spells completely invalid." ”

"We have to close the shields. Regis hurriedly said, "Only close the shield." We can cut off these threads. ”

"But when we close the shield, we lose our protection. The captain frowned and said, "We don't know the number of enemies until now. ”

"Shall we just wait to die?" roared Regis, "do you know what a nest of demon hunters is like?

Although there were many people on the captain's side, under Regis's roar, they suddenly seemed to be much weaker.

Several members of the Nightingale also stood up: "He's right, we need to turn off the protective shield first to prevent the float from being controlled by the demon hunting spiders." ”

"But at such times, who should be at your command?" one wizard questioned.

The captain frowned: "Since you can't contact the headquarters anymore, then of course you have to listen to me." ”

"Give me less of this. A member of the Nightingale sneered, "Others don't know what you're about." The members of our Nightingale are clear. How did you get into this captain's position, you should know better than I do?"

The captain's eyes widened with some anger.

The latter continued to strike mercilessly, saying: "I'd rather believe this bearded man than you." ”

The rest of the Nightingale team also maintained a consistent attitude. This embarrassed the members of the Pop Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Pop Chamber of Commerce has a transcendent status. There are strong forces in the mountain town of Gordon and in the deciduous hills. But in front of the Nightingale, the troops directly under the Eastern Council, they still had to back down three points.

Taking advantage of the silence of the crowd, Regis said simply, "If you don't trust the captain." We propose the establishment of an ad hoc strategic response committee. Everyone on board can elect their own representatives. ”

Several of the nightingales looked impulsive.

The captain, on the other hand, was very unhappy.

And at this moment, a calm voice came from the side of the ship: "Whatever you want to do, you must accelerate." ”

Everyone's eyes shifted, only to see Lance standing alone on the side of the ship, stroking the black spider silk through the protective shield in his hand, feeling the fluctuations on it.

With his eyes closed, he said slowly, "I can feel that her speed is picking up." ”

......

Twenty minutes later, the news that the eighth float was being attacked by a demon hunting spider and dragged into an inexplicable tunnel had already spread throughout the ship.

Of course, the spread of this news is limited to the wizard's side. As for the mortals, they were ordered by the Pop Chamber of Commerce to be in the room, and even if they noticed anything unusual, they were not allowed to leave the room.

This is the privilege of power.

The reaction of the wizards was still very fast, and in less than half an hour, this temporary committee was formed.

Not surprisingly, Acting Captain Regis took a seat with his knowledge of the vessel and years of experience in sailing. The remaining party was a high-ranking wizard of the Pop Chamber of Commerce and the captain himself, as well as two members of the Nightingale - and Lance.

"Honestly, I don't think this kid will make it to the committee. It's not fair. ”

Under the light, the captain looked at Lance with an unkind gaze, and then at Regis. Obviously, he felt that the two men were in a group.

"I think it's okay. A nightingale named Fernan said lightly: "Mr. Regis said that Mr. Lance was the first to discover the Demon Hunting Spider operation, which proves that his perception is very keen, and as for his qualifications, as a representative of the free wizard, I think the forces in the middle of the second level close to the high level are enough." ”

"Gentlemen, if we had started to solve the problem sooner, perhaps we could have prevented something more terrible from happening. ”

Lance put it bluntly: "Our ship is being dragged by the Demon Hunter Spider to an unknown place...... With all due respect, I don't believe there's anything interesting about that. ”

"It was more like a premeditated attack. "We all know about demon hunting spiders, this kind of monster is very powerful, and some restraint us wizards - but they don't have this kind of mind, and according to the books, ordinary demon hunting spiders will not actively attack floats without special circumstances." ”

"Obviously, there are people behind them. The captain finally found an opportunity to interject, "I guess it's the Crimson Scorpion." ”

Lance rolled his eyes, and the rest of the group had a similar attitude to him.

Let's be honest. At this point, his words are purely superfluous.

What happened before on the Eighth ship could not have been a coincidence. This must be a conspiracy of the Crimson Scorpion.

Thinking of this, Lance suddenly shouted loudly, "Ji'an...... Where's that guy?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the captain immediately ordered: "Find out that man!"

......

"This time the plan is very bold, the scale of the Pop Chamber of Commerce has exceeded our expectations, and we should not have acted impulsively. ”

In the depths of the deep tunnel, in a huge space, a woman's faint voice sounded.

"I know, but we're running out of time. ”

Another woman replied.

She was dressed in pink. A faint point of light emanates from the pitch-black space. A small and cute scorpion is embroidered on the chest.

"We only have twelve demon hunters, but we have fourteen floatboats. The man continued, "This plan is too risky, and maybe our headquarters will be exposed. ”

"What if it's exposed? It's going to come back to life. The woman in pink said coldly: "Send all the floats into the nest of demon hunting spiders, and let these guys suffer a little first." And then negotiate with them. ”

"Okay. I know. Gianna-sama. ”

......

"I can't find that kid in Ji'an!"

In the conference room, everyone looked at each other.

"We've been deceived, and that woman may be Crimson Scorpion's. But Ji'an is definitely on the same side as well. Damn, his Transfiguration was so amazing that I didn't even notice it right under my nose!" Lance said with some incredulity.

But if you think about it, this world is so big, and since the Lizardman Witch Doctor can make something magical like a liar's mask, it's not surprising that the Crimson Scorpion's people can get something similar.

"Think about it, what did he do when he stayed on the ship?" said Nightingale Fernan, in a deep voice, "You don't tell him all the news, do you?"

Regis scratched his head, revealing a look of distress: "I haven't looked at that kid with my eyes, but I bet he should have heard everything we know." ”

"Oh, shit!"

Fei Nan covered his face with his hands: "Originally, we also prepared a large set of plans to target the possible attack of the Crimson Scorpion, but I didn't expect that our countermeasures plan was actually known to the people of the Crimson Scorpion, guys, what worse news? ”

"Absolutely. Lance took a deep breath, "He must be doing something about the fact that he was on the ship for so long after that woman was exposed." ”

With that, he jerked to his feet and left the room.

"Where are you going?" asked Regis hurriedly.

"What's the most important place for a floatship?" asked Lance as he walked.

"Undoubtedly, of course, the power cabin. Regis said.

"The power cabin is fine, he didn't get a chance to get into the power room, and so far, our power cabin is fine. ”

Lance said in a deep voice, "What about the second most important?"

Regis thought for a moment: "Probably...... It's a shield, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them stood in front of the defense pod, which was responsible for opening/closing the shield.

"Open the door. Lance said.

"I'll come. The captain hurriedly opened the door, and the machine inside was running wildly, keeping the shield running.

"Wait, what's that?"

Regis stepped out and pointed to a pink chip on the control panel.

Nightingale Fernan asked, "What's wrong with a chip?"

Regis said abruptly: "This is not our chip!"

"What?!" everyone was amazed!

"But the shield is still running, and it's fine!" the captain exclaimed.

Regis covered his head with his hands: "I know, I know - but this chip doesn't affect the rise of the shield, it affects the closure." Once this thing is plugged in, the shield can't be closed manually!"

"We can't close the shield, and we can only watch as the Demon Hunter Spider drags our ship...... Towards ruin!" (To be continued......)
