Overlord of the Phantom of the Elves

Chen Mu spent the whole day on Saturday following the agents to various newspaper offices, trying to build propaganda lines everywhere, but he did almost no actual investigation work.

This made Chen Mu very disappointed, and he even became numb later.

He got a day's rest on Sunday the next day. On this day, he came to the dock again to try his luck. Unexpectedly, as time went by, he actually encountered a wave of ocean-going fleet entering the port.

The dock was very busy that day, and there were many opportunities for part-time workers. When Chen Mu arrived, others thought he was here to do temporary work, and almost dragged him to unload the goods.

Fortunately, the broker he knew recognized him halfway and helped him out.

"I said, it's time for you to get a decent formal suit. With your reputation in the bounty hunter circle, you can't even afford a suit, right?"

The broker joked to him on the road.

It was precisely because Chen Mu was dressed so plainly that others thought he was looking for work.

Chen Mu didn't take it seriously.

"It's good to be low-key."

Then he quickly asked about the business.

"Are the items I want in stock now?"

In addition to tough-leaf willow, Chen Mu had also asked this broker for information on several other materials before, so he created a maze to avoid anyone seeing his purpose at a glance.

"Yes, but the consul of the Chamber of Commerce said he wants to trade with you in person, so come with me."

"it is good."

While following this man through the pier, Soraya suddenly stopped, sniffed hard in the direction of a ship on the berth in the distance, then tilted his head and made a puzzled expression.

Chen Mu was squeezing her away at the crowded pier. When he saw her stop, he picked her up, put her on his shoulders, and asked by the way: "What's wrong?"

"Huhu!"

"You said there was a strong ghost aura on that ship?"

Seeing that Chen Mu had stopped for a while, the broker walking in front couldn't help but turn around and noticed that Chen Mu was looking at the ship, so he took the initiative to explain.

"That should be an ocean-going fishing ship, specialized in hunting deep-sea elves."

The elves in the depths of the ocean are threats and treasures at the same time. A powerful elf is a treasure, and there are countless powerful wild elves in the vast sea.

This kind of business is very profitable, but it is also very dangerous. If you accidentally encounter a group of Gyarados, Megalodon, or an old velociraptor that has lived in the deep sea for hundreds of years, you really can't tell who is hunting whom.

In the vast ocean, the roles of hunter and prey are often interchanged.

But Chen Mu was very curious, "Will hunting elves in the ocean catch ghosts?"

The broker shrugged, "Isn't this strange? There are ghosts and elves in the sea, like broken ships, and magic corals."

"Magic coral?"

"Yes, just that thing. The coral pink of that thing is very valuable. Those are luxuries that only upper-class grandpas can afford."

What the other party said made some sense, but Mr. Chen Mu felt that it was a bit far-fetched.

But he didn't care for a moment.

The desire for the tough-leafed willow temporarily overcame the occasional burst of curiosity.

He then continued to follow the broker through the pier and came to a small warehouse on the other side near the berth that was temporarily used to unload inventory.

"The consul of the Chamber of Commerce is inside. We have all the goods you want. Go in and talk."

The other party was at the door and invited me in very eagerly.

At this time, Chen Mu finally realized that something was wrong.

The other party seemed to be too attentive along the way, as if he was impatient to take him to this warehouse.

Even when he was explaining about the ocean hunting ship, he seemed very anxious, as if he was in a hurry to kill himself.

Is there a problem inside?

When he reached the door, he went in in no hurry.

"The consul of that chamber of commerce is inside. Can you let him come out and tell me his name?"

As a result, at this time, Soraya on his shoulder suddenly screamed a high-decibel warning.

Is there someone approaching me from behind? !

Chen Mu instinctively fell to the side and rolled, then stood up, took out his gun and pointed it behind his back. As a result, this seemed to play into the enemy's hands.

Where he rolled to the ground, a ball of sand suddenly shot up like a tentacle monster and tightly wrapped around his legs, making him unable to move.

It's a Sand-Eating Castle Lord that's been lying in wait for a long time!

A ground + ghost elf, its body is just a ball of sand, which can be deformed and stretched at will. It often disguises itself as a sandcastle and ambush on the beach to hunt small elves passing by.

They are a type of ghost elves that are relatively common in coastal areas.

Previously, Chen Mu bought the corpse of a Dune Child for Soraya to practice his shadow claws, which was the unevolved form of the Sand-Eating Castle Lord.

The Sand-eating Lord tightly wrapped around Chen Mu's legs. At this point, the other party finally saw it and completely tore off the veil of tenderness.

"Don't be nervous, Mu, we just want to negotiate a deal with you and make money by being friendly. As long as you cooperate well, no one will get hurt. Come on, come in first."

A thug behind who was being pointed at by Chen Mu spoke slowly.

He said that kindness brings wealth, but the malice in his smile was not concealed at all.

He felt quite confident at the moment.

Because the Sand-eating Castle Lord had already wrapped itself around Chen Mu's legs.

Even if this is just a folk elf with not much combat power, at such a close distance, with the advantage of the final evolved form, it would not be that difficult for the Sand-Eating Castle Lord to twist Chen Mu's legs at the moment he takes action.

Even if Chen Mu could kill him with one shot, he would not be able to escape if his leg was injured later.

At this time, the thug was approaching step by step with a ferocious smile, looking completely confident.

Chen Mu turned his head and took a deep look at the familiar broker. Finally, he took a deep breath and stood up slowly.

"Let Master Sand-Eating Castle loosen up a little, otherwise it will be difficult for me to walk."

No matter what situation he faced, at least on the surface he must not panic.

"Huhu!"

Soraya screamed at him anxiously, but Chen Mu gave her a comforting look, signaling her not to worry yet.

He first had to get rid of the sand wrapped around his legs. After that, he had nothing to be afraid of with Soraya by his side.

Take one step at a time.

The other party smiled, and soon, Chen Mu felt the tightness in his legs loosen.

"Then, Mr. Mu, please."

The other party even took the initiative to open the warehouse door for him very attentively, as if he was really inviting him to discuss business.

After entering the warehouse, Chen Mu's pupils quickly shrank.

"Haha, I didn't expect that we are really familiar with each other."

The so-called Chamber of Commerce Consul who appeared in front of him was indeed a familiar face to Chen Mu.

He was a steward he had often seen at trading gatherings in the lower city.

It was the trading party where he missed Giratina's scales. Chen Mu hadn't been to that party for a while after he obtained the secret technique of the Shadow Claw.

As a result, I didn’t expect that even though he was gone, people still thought about him.
