It's You Again!

Footsteps?

Linsey frowned upon hearing Ka Ji's reminder.

At this moment, inside the Garden Enclosure, besides him, Ka Ji, there were only Mu Le Na Hu En and Kuit.

He became alert and stopped in his tracks.

He immediately took up the Iron Horn Great Bow and Frost Poison Arrow, ready for battle.

"How far away are the sounds you hear?"

Ka Ji replied:

"Four hundred... no, more than three hundred meters, and they were also moving in a low-profile manner."

Linsey nodded.

He checked his equipment; the three-hour enchantment of [Silent Edge] was still active, and with Ka Ji's Scouting Skill, the initiative in the battle was undoubtedly in his hands.

Linsey continued to speculate.

Mu Le Na Hu En has already moved to a higher level of the Garden Enclosure and is unlikely to appear here.

The one in the waterway ahead is most likely the Merchant Kuit.

Linsey instructed Ka Ji:

"Always tell me his location, and remember to keep your voice down."

Ka Ji nodded seriously and nervously:

"Okay, he turned left up ahead."

"..."

"200 meters."

"..."

"He's gone off course; we need to catch up with him."

"..."

"Turn left at the second turn ahead."

"..."

With Ka Ji's reminder, Linsey can pinpoint the enemy's location within the waterway.

Just a few minutes later.

The other person stepped into a straight waterway.

Linsey and Ka Ji also tracked down to the waterway entrance. Just around the corner, they could see each other's location! As the battle was about to break out, Linsey's hand made a subtle change.

He changed the [Frost Poison Arrow] to the fastest [Black Feather Arrow]. Then he stepped into the waterway and switched the Game Module to [FPS].

"..."

A stillness filled the air.

The effect of Silent Edge is accompanied by the high-speed firing of the Black Feather Arrow.

Even in a closed waterway, it makes no sound.

The arrow flew at high speed, tearing through the air as it struck the figure moving through the waterway! "Ah..."

The voice of the figure ahead was low but painful.

The wounds on his body instantly erupted with power of cold and fire, and the excruciating pain penetrated to the bone marrow!

"It really is you, Kuit!"

Di Ya Bo Luo, it's you again!

Kuit's eyes were wide with rage.

He muttered angrily at Linsey's pseudonym.

He quickly used money to suppress his injuries and retreated while beginning to build up his defenses.

Linsey's voice was equally low.

He put away the loud-firing Iron Horn Great Bow and replaced it with the fast-firing, quiet Spider Silk Night Shadow.

At this moment, above the two of them is Yulaman Suo Er.

Those who came here all knew that this plant had the ability to locate enemies by sound.

This is very close to the root system of Yulaman Suo Er.

Making too much noise would undoubtedly disturb this dangerous plant.

This was something neither Linsey nor Kuit wanted to accept, which led to their unusual tacit understanding, as they both chose to lower their voices while having sex.

Several arrows broke in mid-air.

The Sixth Stage merchant prioritizes defense, so Ordinary Arrows cannot penetrate their defenses.

But at the same time, Linsey herself rushed over.

Although Kuit tried to distance herself from him, she was no match for Linsey in terms of speed, and Linsey caught up with her in just a few steps! "Di Ya Bo Luo!"

Kuit growled in a low voice.

Linsey remained silent, and the bow and arrow in her hand vanished instantly, replaced by a Wood Poison Javelin.

He then viciously stabbed the wealthy merchant in front of him.

Swipe—

Linsey's weapon slipped from her hand.

Since Kuit is now in the Garden Enclosure and cannot obtain financial support from the outside world, he also adopts the most labor-saving and cost-effective methods when fighting.

It doesn't directly cancel out the weapon's damage.

Instead, he deflected Linsey's attack, only hoping that the blow would not hit him.

Damn it!

"Di Ya Bo Luo, we've already outmaneuvered each other once, so we're even."

"Now is not the time for fighting!"

Kuit tries to reconcile Linsey, and holds a brand new Double Serpent Coin in her hand.

Linsey is faster.

After the merchant deflected the attack, his body, which had been lunging through the air, landed on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the spear in his hand had been replaced by a thick Ice Badger Mace! "Wolf Tooth Club?"

Kuit was almost dumbfounded; he never expected Linsey to pull out such a weapon.

Even if this thing's attack is successfully deflected, it's still not pleasant to accidentally scratch or graz it!

—I can't continue close combat with a warrior!

This is the scene.

Kuit dared not hesitate for a moment.

He immediately activated his most valuable Double Serpent Coin, unleashing its power.

In an instant.

The walls, floor, and ceiling of the waterway.

All the wood began to twist and grow, sprouting new branches and binding itself to Linsey.

"Um?"

Linsey frowned as he switched weapons.

He tried hitting it with the Wolf Tooth Club and immediately realized that the branches were as hard as iron, incredibly tough.

These branches grew out of the waterway.

It inherits the sturdy and robust material characteristics of the main body of the Garden Enclosure.

Of all Linsey's weapons, only the [Aetal Iron Dagger] could forcibly cut it.

But faced with so many branches...

If you stay where you are, you'll eventually be firmly bound by these branches.

We have to go!

Linsey used her feet to propel herself up and quickly jumped away from her original position.

But those branches and leaves influenced by the Merchant Skill immediately changed direction and chased after Linsey!

"Snort--"

Kuit a cold laugh.

Seeing Linsey's disheveled escape, he thought to himself that he couldn't let her get away this time.

These are the only people in the Garden Enclosure right now.

Having one less thing increases your chances of getting everything!

Snap! Snap! But the next second, several more cold glints flashed.

The Double Serpent Coin that Kuit used for defense suddenly darkened in color.

"Ah?"

The merchant looked down and saw several arrow fragments lying on the ground.

While chasing and dodging the trees, Linsey did not forget to draw his bow and fight back; these arrows were his response to Kuit.

Looking at the fading Double Serpent Coin, Kuit's stance wavered faster than turning the pages of a book.

The murderous intent in his heart turned into a desire to retreat.

He earned all his money through hard work, and now he's just squandering it like this...

Linsey was forced to retreat to a distance.

Kuit made a quick decision; he manipulated the plants to wrap himself up and dragged himself into the wall of the waterway!

"..."

"Are they running away?"

Linsey immediately realized the purpose behind Kuit's decision.

We must keep this guy here; at the very least, we can't let a big businessman hide around and cause trouble.

Linsey's mind raced.

Seeing the situation, a series of thoughts flashed through my mind.

—Kuit was being chased by Yulaman Suo Er, but he definitely wasn't going in this direction.

—The other party also wants to reach the core of the Garden Enclosure.

Linsey immediately spoke up:

"Kuit, you also want to deal with this plant, right?"

Are you really planning to just leave like this?

"..."

The merchant's retreat abruptly halted.

If it were just a simple battle, he would definitely choose to flee the scene without hesitation.

But what Linsey meant...

If they could obtain the wealth within these ruins, the Riverbank Merchant Guild could rise again, and he could break through to a higher realm with the surge in wealth! And to achieve all of this...

Now, Yulaman Suo Er, who is entrenched above, is his biggest obstacle.

For the sake of profit—can a businessman negotiate with a tiger for its skin? This is a question that needs no further explanation.

Kuit stopped running away, remaining in his defensive position with a fake smile on his face, "Mr. Di Ya Bo Luo, it seems you are also troubled by this."

"We might be able to reach a wonderful cooperation agreement due to our shared short-term interests!"
