Game of the World Tree - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Successful sneak attack

Crocodile is a very patient person.

After all… if he remembered correctly, there should have been an Orc tribe nearby.

However, now this Orc tribe has disappeared. No matter from which angle, it must be related to the Black Dragon!

And the Black Dragon that can force a tribe of Orcs to migrate… although it is not yet an adult, I am afraid that its strength is also quite terrifying.

Therefore, after discovering the Black Dragon’s lair, Crocodile did not act rashly, but continued to order his men to observe secretly and record the Black Dragon’s activity patterns, while hiding with a large force.

Even because he was worried about exposing his tracks, he also prohibited his men from hunting and only allowed them to eat the dry food they carried with them.

Crocodile was ready to choose an opportunity, take advantage of the Black Dragon’s absence, and launch a successful sneak attack!

Then he would stop while he was ahead and run away!

The mercenaries only had one week’s worth of dry food left.

Crocodile waited in the dense forest for three full days.

During these three days, through observation, they finally roughly figured out the Black Dragon’s activity patterns.

Every morning, noon and evening, the black dragon would let out a long cry, fly out of its castle, and come back an hour later.

Crocodile speculated that this should be the black dragon patrolling its territory.

When the black dragon left, elves would come out of the castle and grill meat for the black dragon in front of the door.

Sometimes, it was a female elf wizard and two elf warriors, and sometimes it was other people.

The equipment on these elves who were grilling meat was very gorgeous. Judging from the exquisite appearance, it was probably made by real elves, which made the mercenaries jealous…

At the same time, when the black dragon stayed in the castle, there were often elves with simple equipment coming out of the castle, pushing a cart full of fodder, and heading to the forest at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the castle. I don’t know what they were doing.

The mercenaries were very curious and wanted to follow them to see where these elves were going, and also wanted to take the opportunity to capture the elves who were alone.

Unfortunately, the black dragon was always in the castle at this time.

Because they were worried about alerting the black dragon, they had to give up…

But the crocodile, through the observation of the elves’ activities described by the scouts, inferred that there might be a lot of treasures hidden in this black dragon castle!

Otherwise, as the black dragon’s followers, the elves would not be so busy!

What’s more… even the followers have such great equipment, what about the greedy black dragon?

It must be even richer!

After three days of silence, the crocodile finally decided to take advantage of the evening when the black dragon left its nest and launch an assault on the castle!

He selected a hundred people from the mercenary group, all of whom were the most elite confidants, and the weakest mercenary had reached the middle level of black iron.

Then, taking advantage of the night, the group quietly touched the mountain where the black dragon castle was located…

outside the black dragon castle.

This evening, Xiao Xianmao and two Northeast brothers took the barbecue task again. As usual, they chatted and barbecued.

And the crocodile brought his men and quietly surrounded them at night.

The black dragon has left.

However, its tiny back can still be seen on the horizon.

After circling for a few times, it gradually flew away in the direction of the Elf Forest…

Watching the black dragon getting farther and farther away, the crocodile’s heart moved:

“Could it be… that these elves were captured by the black dragon from the Elf Forest?”

He did not hesitate, but after the black dragon’s figure completely disappeared from his sight, he gave an order:

“Follow me, three fast hunters, first control the elves who are grilling outside!”

After speaking, three Black Iron-level mercenaries followed, and the four of them moved behind Xiao Xianmao and the other two…

…

Outside the Black Dragon Castle.

Xiao Xianmao sat in front of the campfire with his knees hugged, watching the two Northeastern guys flipping the barbecue boredly, and sighed:

“I’m so bored recently…”

“Bored?”

After hearing Xiao Xianmao’s words, the two Northeastern guys looked at each other.

“I think there are so many things I can do. Killing monsters during the day, grilling at night, and doing some daily tasks. I’m too busy to handle it.”

A guy said.

“Yeah… I’m still tens of thousands of contribution points short of equipment graduation. I’m even considering selling the dragon scales I’ve saved.”

Another guy also said.

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

Xiao Xian Miao shook his head:

“Actually, it’s quite interesting. I just feel that there haven’t been any new main plots triggered recently. I can only level up by brushing dungeons every day, which is a bit uncomfortable…”

“When will there be a big plot like the battle with the orcs and the defense of Black Rock City? I still prefer the big plot in “Elf Kingdom”!”

Xiao Xian Miao looked nostalgic.

Northeastern guy: …

They understand.

Xiao Xian Miao feels that there are no big plots that mobilize all the players in the server recently, so she feels bored.

In other words, although this local tyrant sister is half a life-oriented player, she is the kind of person who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos…

They took a look at the dazzling golden legendary mage equipment on Xiao Xian Miao’s body, and hesitated to speak.

Only this kind of local tyrant who has been dressed in gold for a long time will feel that there is nothing to do except leveling up, right?

One of the young men from Northeast China was moved and said,

“Speaking of which… Yesterday when I was in Black Rock City, I heard the Dark Dwarfs mention in the tavern that the Orcs in the Death Desert seemed to have made some big moves recently. I wonder if it is related to the next big plot.”

The channels for Black Rock City to trade with the outside world are not just players.

They also have dealings with forces deeper in the underground world. Those forces also have connections with the aboveground world and have their own intelligence channels, and the Dark Dwarves often exchange intelligence with them.

Therefore, although the Dark Dwarves are underground forces, it is not surprising that they can get news from the Death Desert before the players.

Not only the intelligence of the Orcs.

In fact, the news that a new true god appeared in the Elf Forest and that he was in close contact with the God of Death Hela had gradually spread in some areas of the underground world…

There were even rumors that the new true god was a secret subordinate of the God of Death!

However, more people were skeptical about this.

Even the existence of the new true god was doubted by many people…

“Death Desert?”

After hearing what the Northeastern brother said, Xiao Xian Miao was refreshed.

She heard Myriel mention that this was the base camp of the orcs, and it might be a new map that would be opened in the future!

Could it be…

that the authorities were brewing a big plot? !

Xiao Xian Miao suddenly felt a little excited.

And at this moment, suddenly, she sensed a trace of magic fluctuations.

Xiao Xian Miao’s face changed:

“The warning magic has been triggered! Something is coming!”

“Warcraft?”

The two Northeastern brothers looked serious and stood up quickly.

However, before they could draw their weapons, three agile figures rushed up from the darkness!

They were human mercenaries.

They were wearing leather armor and moved quickly, rushing in front of them in an instant!

Although I have been in the game for two months and have been in it for more than half a year, compared with experienced mercenaries, the players are still a lot slower…

Maybe in a fair fight at the same level, players can defeat the opponent with their fearless spirit and the pain of being weakened, but compared with the unexpected sneak attack…

the players are still far behind.

For a while, Xiao Xian Miao and his friends were controlled by human mercenaries before they could draw their weapons…

The mercenaries surrounded the three people and put their short knives directly on their necks, whispering viciously:

“Don’t move!”

Looking at the few people who suddenly appeared, Xiao Xian Miao and the two Northeastern brothers were stunned for a moment.

Where did the humans come from? !

There were also some surprises, such as crocodiles.

He looked at the three players who were instantly controlled by his men, and was very surprised:

these elves have poor vigilance and adaptability!

However, although he was surprised, he was also very satisfied with this smooth and dreamlike sneak attack.

Crocodile looked at the equipment of several people greedily, and his eyes paused on Xiao Xian Miao. Then he suppressed his joy and whispered to other mercenaries who had caught up with him:

“Take off their weapons, tie them up with the rope of forbidden magic, and gag them.”

After that, he looked at Xiao Xian Miao coldly and habitually said in the common language:

“If you don’t want to die, don’t resist!”

However, what surprised Crocodile was that the three elves controlled by his people were quite cooperative.

They nodded and raised their hands in an instant, allowing other mercenaries to take away their equipment, tie them up with ropes, and gag them…

Throughout the whole process, the three did not resist at all.

What surprised Crocodile even more was that although the three elves were a little flustered when they saw him, they were not afraid. On the contrary… they seemed a little excited?

Especially the female elf. When she saw the hundreds of crocodile’s subordinates rushing out of the darkness and sneaking towards the castle, her eyes sparkled and her expression was actually a little excited…

This was completely inconsistent with the crocodile’s cognition.

In his memory, the captured female elves would fall into panic, either choosing to commit suicide or fighting desperately, of course… in the end they basically became desperate and numb.

But… what the hell is this one?

Those big, shining eyes are almost written with excitement on their faces!

Are these elves mentally ill?

Could it be that they think that their group is here to rescue them?

It’s really hard to say, after all, the elves are generally recognized to be naive and easy to deceive!

Thinking of this, the crocodile laughed, revealing a smile that he thought was cool and friendly, but in fact it was a little gloomy and cold…

While laughing, he said to the three tied-up players, especially Xiao Xian Miao:

“Be good, I will take you out of the clutches of the black dragon.”

After hearing what the crocodile said, the three looked a little strange, but they didn’t say anything.

And the crocodile, after leaving three confidants to guard Xiao Xian Miao and the others, led the remaining mercenaries to rush into the castle…

The tied-up Xiao Xian Miao and the others remained silent.

However, in a place where the human mercenaries could not see, they were completely excited.

Game system, friend chat interface.

“Ahhh! What you think is coming! Hidden mission! This must be another hidden mission! And… it’s actually a human!”

“Hahaha! It must be attracted by Myriel’s trip to the human world last time! I knew it! That guy robbed so many things with less than a thousand silver coins, how could it not lead to a subsequent plot?!”

Xiao Xian Miao typed excitedly in the barbecue group established by the three people.

Alas… I haven’t had time to pay back the chapters I owe, mainly because now it’s changed to more than 3,000 words per chapter, and I have to work on my master’s thesis. After two chapters a day, I don’t have much time.

If it were 2,000 words per chapter, I would have paid off the chapters I owe a long time ago, but I feel that would be too insincere.

I might as well pay it back for now… I’ll have more time

when I finish my thesis. Thank you Fang Gao for the 500-point reward, and thank you Yinghualuoqushizhi, Shanjiaomao, and Huangliangliluo for the 100-point reward!
