Chapter 1804 Unraveling the Mystery (Ⅲ)
"Yohooo~~~"
Kaoruijing seemed very satisfied with the work created by the collective "Sculpture of Stone", cheering and dancing around the rough spar ball.
After bouncing happily for a while, Kaoruijing suddenly ran to the stone ball again, hugged the one-ton stone ball with both hands, and tried to lift it up.
"Is this guy crazy?" Scholz muttered to himself while clutching his beard. "With his small body, how could he lift a ton... eh? He really lifted it?!"
Watching the little Kaorui Jing lift up a big stone ball that is more than 20 times its own weight, the dwarf brother couldn't help showing a hellish expression, shaking his hand, tearing off a bunch of beards, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.
Qiao An knew that Kaorui Jing was small and strong, but he didn't expect his strength to be so strong.
Kaoruijing held the big stone ball, walked back and forth twice, suddenly threw the stone ball high, and caught it with both hands.
Most of the surrounding rock spirits applauded and cheered, praising Kaorui spirit's divine power. Only the rock spirit with the wand yelled at Corrie in displeasure, and pointed back at the safe.
Kao Ruijing put the stone ball on the ground, shrugged and spread his hands, and said a string of Tu language angrily.
"What are they talking about?" Gua Moduo couldn't understand Tu language, so he asked Qiao An curiously.
"The leader of the rock spirit with the wand, remind Robin Hood—that's the Callee spirit—that the magic alarm will soon get rid of the suppression and attract the guards. Now is not the time to make fun of it. The most urgent thing is to escape the warehouse with the stolen goods."
Joan pointed to Kaurijing in the mirror, and then translated his answer to the leader of the rock spirit.
"Robin Hood was having a good time, and he was taught a lesson by Karaka, the leader of the rock spirit, very unhappy, complaining that Karaka always said some disappointing things, compared to the unrestrained goblin, it was worse Like a stuffy dwarf."
Klein and Scholz looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.
Although the Queree refer to the dwarves in a mocking tone, then again, the disciplined dwarves are obviously better at teamwork than the goblins who mess around regardless of time and place.
Fortunately, there was a reliable Kalaka among the nine-member thieves gang, and he didn't forget what he was here for. If they were all as casual as Robin Hood, Joan estimated that they would have been caught by the warehouse guards long ago.
Robin Hood obviously also knew that in this team, not anyone with big fists could be the boss. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on the prudent Karaka to make suggestions and preside over the overall situation. In the end, he accepted the other party's persuasion and buried himself in digging holes.
Karaka commanded the other seven clansmen to jointly push a large stone ball made of a ton of coarse crystal, just like a dung beetle rolling a dung ball, rolling the stone ball into the tunnel dug by Robin Hood, and disappeared out of the screen in a blink of an eye. The tunnels are automatically closed without leaving any traces.
Joan put away the spell-casting equipment and led everyone to the No. 5 warehouse that was stolen recently.
The previous two consecutive thefts of coarse crystals made Gray Bird and the security team realize the seriousness of the situation. Sentinels were set up in all warehouses, and guards patrolled around the clock.
The move paid off.
Three nights ago, when Kaorui Jing Robin Hood, Yan Jing Karaka and their accomplices repeated their tricks and sneaked into the No. 5 warehouse through the ground, they were discovered by Garu who was on duty in the warehouse as soon as they appeared. Sound the alarm and notify the companions outside to surround the No. 5 warehouse.
The gang of thieves were startled when they heard the harsh sirens, and instinctively burrowed into the ground.
Sensing that they were trying to escape, Garu rushed over in a panic, trying to prevent the thieves from slipping away.
It's a pity that he underestimated the strength of these thieves. The leader of the rock spirits, Karaka, calmed down first, and called other tribesmen to gather around him. "Stone Wall Technique", create a solid stone wall on the flat ground to seal the gate, and block the security guards who came after hearing the news.
After that, Karaka wanted to lead the team to retreat immediately, but was stopped by Robin Hood, who has always been bold, and said to him: "Everyone is here, anyway, the guards can't break in for the time being, why don't you hurry up and open the safe?" , so you don’t have to make a trip in vain.”
Karaka was still a little hesitant, and Robin Hood continued to persuade him: "We are only short of the last sum to pay the withdrawal ransom. If we go back empty-handed today, it will be even more difficult to sneak in to steal things later!"
"There is only one week left before the opening day of the survival competition. If we can't make up the ransom for withdrawing from the competition during this period, we can only be forced to participate in the survival competition. The consequences will be more serious than if we were all caught by warehouse security!"
Hearing what Robin Hood said, Karaka also changed his face, and quickly showed his "tapping wand" to open the safe.
However, the cabinet was empty and there was nothing there!
Unwilling to give up, Karaka waved her magic wand and opened the rest of the safes in the warehouse one by one, but in vain—all the safes were empty!
Looking at the empty safe, the rock spirits were all dumbfounded.
Robin Hood also realized that he had been fooled, and jumped out of anger, pulling his hair and yelling, "Human beings are so cunning"!
It was Karaka who was more calm. He was the first to come back to his senses and comfort Robin Hood to calm down. Don't worry about the rough crystals, and retreat quickly!
Kao Rui couldn't help being angry, so she had to dig a hole reluctantly, and led her companions to sneak away. Only poor Garu was left in the warehouse, turning into a stone statue with an angry face.
The image in the mirror quickly faded, and Joan finished the "Understand the Legend" spell-casting ceremony, and recounted to his companions the testimony Garu provided after he lifted the petrification.
"Garu got the 'Petrification Art', but he still had a short consciousness before being completely petrified. During this period, he heard Kaorui and the leader of the Rock Spirit quarreling. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about the Tu language, and he could only hear the words of the two. The names are Karaka and Robin Hood."
"We thought the thief was a subterranean dwarf. It wasn't until we saw the scene of the crime recreated by Dr. Vader's spell that we realized that we had made a mistake in the direction of the investigation from the very beginning." Gray Bird said with a wry smile.
"Now we have confirmed that the thieves are these cunning goblins, but I still have a question," the old swampman looked at Joan, "Robin Hood and Karaka frequently mentioned a word when they quarreled, and you translated it into 'survival' Competition', what kind of competition is this? The goblins also revealed that they did not want to participate in this competition, so they had to pay a withdrawal ransom. They couldn't afford the money, so they had to take the risk of stealing coarse crystals Compensation for the withdrawal ransom, am I not mistaken?"
"'Survival competition' and 'ransom for quitting the race' are just literal translations from 'tu language' to 'common language'...Frankly speaking, what do these two words refer to and whether they have other extended meanings? I don't understand." Joan frowned.
