Crocodile was someone who could keep his composure.
After all … If he remembered correctly, there should have been an Orc tribe nearby.
However, this Orc tribe had disappeared. No matter how he looked at it, it must have something to do with the Black Dragon!
And for the Black Dragon to be able to force an Orc tribe to migrate … Although it had not reached adulthood, its strength was probably quite terrifying.
Therefore, after discovering the Black Dragon's lair, Crocodile did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to order his subordinates to observe in secret and record the Black Dragon's movements. At the same time, he led a large army to hide.
Even to the extent that he was worried about exposing his tracks, he forbade his subordinates from hunting and only allowed them to eat the dry rations that they carried with them.
Crocodile was prepared to find an opportunity to successfully launch a sneak attack while the Black Dragon was not at home!
Then, he would quit while he was ahead and slip away!
The mercenaries had a week's worth of dry rations left.
And Crocodile had waited in the dense forest for a full three days.
In these three days, through observation, they finally had a rough idea of the Black Dragon's movements.
This Black Dragon would let out a long cry every morning, noon, and night and fly out of his castle. Then, he would return an hour later.
Crocodile guessed that this should be the Black Dragon patrolling his territory.
And when the Black Dragon left, elves would come out of the castle and roast meat for the Black Dragon in front of the door.
Sometimes, it would be a female elven mage and two elven warriors. Sometimes, it would be others.
These elves who were roasting meat had gorgeous equipment. Looking at the exquisite appearance, it was probably made by real elves. This made the mercenaries very envious …
At the same time, when the Black Dragon stayed in the castle, elves with simple equipment would often come out of the castle and push small carts filled with fodder to the forest at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the castle. No one knew what they were doing.
The mercenaries were very curious and wanted to follow these elves to see where they were going. They also wanted to take the opportunity to catch the elves who were alone.
Unfortunately, the Black Dragon was always in the castle at this time.
Because they were worried that they would arouse the Black Dragon's vigilance, they could only give up …
Crocodile, on the other hand, deduced from the scout's description of the elves' activities that this Black Dragon's castle might be hiding a large number of treasures!
Otherwise, as the Black Dragon's dependents, the elves would not be so busy!
What's more … Even his Kin had such amazing equipment. What about the greedy Black Dragon?
He would definitely be richer!
After three days of silence, the crocodile finally decided to attack the castle while the Black Dragon left its nest in the evening!
He selected a hundred men from the mercenary group, all of whom were the most elite and trusted. Even the weakest mercenary was at least an intermediate Dark Iron rank.
Then, taking advantage of the night, the group quietly crept up the mountain where the Black Dragon Castle was located …
Outside the Black Dragon Castle.
That evening, Salty Meow and the two northeastern guys took on the barbecue task. As usual, they chatted while barbecuing.
Crocodile and his men also took advantage of the night to quietly surround them.
The Black Dragon had already left.
However, its tiny figure could still be seen on the horizon.
After circling a few times, it gradually flew in the direction of the Elven Forest …
Looking at the Black Dragon getting further and further away, the crocodile's heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be … These elves were all captured by the Black Dragon from the Elven Forest?"
He did not hesitate. After the Black Dragon's figure had completely disappeared from sight, he gave an order.
"Come with me. Three hunters with quick movements. First, control those elves who are barbecuing outside!"
After that, three Dark Iron rank mercenaries followed. The four of them crept behind Salty Meow and the other two …
…
Outside the Black Dragon Castle.
Salty Meow hugged his knees and sat in front of the bonfire. He looked at the two northeastern guys who were barbecuing in boredom and sighed.
"I've been so bored recently …"
"Bored?"
After hearing Salty Meow's words, the two northeastern guys looked at each other.
"I think there are a lot of things to do. Farming in the day, barbecuing at night, and doing some daily missions. I'm so busy that I can't even cope with it."
One of the guys said.
"Yeah … I still need tens of thousands of contribution points to graduate with equipment. I'm even considering if I should sell all the dragon scales I have."
The other guy said.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Salty Meow shook his head.
"Actually, it's quite interesting. I just feel that there haven't been any new main storyline triggered recently. I can only farm dungeons and level up every day. I'm not used to it … "
"When will there be a big storyline like the war with the Orcs and the defense of Black Rock City? I still prefer the big storyline in 'Elven Nation'! "
Salty Meow had a nostalgic look on his face.
The northeastern guys were speechless.
They finally understood.
Salty Meow felt that there had not been any big storyline that could mobilize all the players in the server recently, so he felt bored.
In other words, although this tycoon sister was half a lifestyle player, she was the kind of person who wanted to see the world in chaos …
They glanced at Salty Meow's dazzling golden Legendary Wizard equipment and stopped talking.
Only a tycoon like him would feel that there was nothing to do other than leveling up.
One of the northeastern guys had an idea and said,
"Speaking of which … when I was in Black Rock City yesterday, I heard the Dark Dwarves mention that the Orcs in the Death Desert seemed to be doing something big recently. I wonder if it has something to do with the next big storyline."
The players were not the only channel of trade between Black Rock City and the outside world.
They also had dealings with forces deeper in the underground world. These forces also had connections with the surface world and had their own information channels. The Dark Dwarves often exchanged information with them.
Therefore, although the Dark Dwarves were an underground force, it was not surprising that they could find out about the Death Desert before the players.
It was not just information about the Orcs.
In fact, the news that a new True God had appeared in the Elven Forest and was on good terms with the Grim Reaper Hella had already spread in some parts of the underground world …
There were even rumors that the new True God was secretly a subordinate of the Grim Reaper!
However, there were more people who were skeptical about this.
Many people were skeptical about the existence of the new True God …
"Death Desert?"
Hearing the northeastern guy's words, Salty Meow perked up.
She had heard from Merril that this was the main camp of the Orcs. It was likely to be a new map that would be released in the future!
Could it be …
Were the officials preparing for a big storyline?!
Salty Meow was suddenly looking forward to it.
At this moment, she suddenly sensed a trace of magic fluctuation.
Salty Meow's expression changed.
"The warning spell has been triggered! Something is coming! "
"Magical Beasts?"
The two men from the Northeast looked solemn and quickly stood up.
However, before they could draw their weapons, three agile figures rushed out from the darkness!
They were human mercenaries.
They were wearing leather armor and moved quickly. In an instant, they were in front of the few of them!
Although they had been in the game for two months and had been in the game intermittently for more than half a year, compared to the experienced mercenaries, the players' movements were still much slower …
Perhaps in an open battle of the same level, the players could rely on their fearless spirit and weakened sense of pain to defeat their opponents. However, in terms of a surprise attack …
The players were still far from it.
Before Salty Meow and the others could draw their weapons, they were restrained by the human mercenaries …
The mercenaries surrounded the three of them and placed the daggers in their hands on their necks, whispering fiercely, "Let's go!"
They said in a low voice, "Don't move!"
Looking at the sudden appearance of the few people, Salty Meow and the two northeastern guys were stunned.
Where did these humans come from?!
Crocodile was also surprised.
He looked at the three players who were restrained by his subordinates in an instant and was very surprised.
These Elves were so weak in their vigilance and adaptability!
However, even though he was surprised in his heart, this sneak attack that went so smoothly that it was like a dream also made him very satisfied.
Crocodile looked greedily at the equipment on the few of them. His gaze paused on Salty Meow. He then suppressed the joy in his heart and ordered the other mercenaries behind him in a low voice, "Remove their weapons.
"Remove their weapons, tie them up with the Anti-Magic Rope, and gag them."
After that, he looked coldly at Salty Meow and the others and habitually spoke in the common language.
"If you don't want to die, don't resist!"
However, to Crocodile's surprise, the three Elves who were restrained by his men were very cooperative.
They nodded and instantly raised their hands, allowing the other mercenaries to take away their equipment. Then, they tied them up with ropes and gagged them ….
The three of them did not resist at all.
What surprised Crocodile even more was that although the three Elves were a little flustered when they saw his men, they were not afraid. On the contrary … they seemed to be a little excited?
Especially the female Elf, when she saw hundreds of Crocodile's subordinates rushing out of the darkness and sneaking into the castle, her eyes were shining and she looked a little excited …
This was completely different from what Crocodile knew.
In his memory, the female Elves who were captured would fall into a panic. They would either choose to commit suicide or fight to the death. Of course … in the end, they would basically become hopeless and numb.
But … what the hell was this one?
That pair of sparkling big eyes was almost written all over her face!
Was there something wrong with these Elves' brains?
Could it be that they thought that they were here to rescue them?
It was hard to say. After all, the Elves were known to be naive and easy to deceive!
Thinking of this, Crocodile chuckled and revealed a smile that he thought was chic and friendly, but in fact, it was a little gloomy and cold …
As he laughed, he said to the three players who were tied up, especially Salty Meow.
"Be good, I'll get you out of the clutches of the Black Dragon."
Hearing Crocodile's words, the three of them looked a little strange, but they did not say anything.
As for Crocodile, after leaving three of his trusted men to guard Salty Meow and the others, he led the rest of the mercenaries and rushed into the castle …
Salty Meow and the others who were tied up still remained silent.
However, in a place where the human mercenaries could not see, they were completely immersed in excitement.
In the game system, on the friend chat interface.
"Ahhh! What do you want! Hidden mission! This must have triggered another hidden mission! And … it's a human one! "
"Hahaha! It must have been triggered by Merril's trip to the human world! I knew it! That guy used less than a thousand silver coins to rob so many things, how could it not trigger a follow-up plot?! "
In the barbecue group created by the three of them, Salty Meow typed excitedly.
