VCRMM: Chapter 250

Cessia was stunned.

What was that just now? Something fell from above? Why didn’t the Tree of Life stop it?

The sea elves could see things on the seabed, but she seemed to see nothing just now. She could vaguely see a long rope-like thing.

The deep pit on the ground was still there. Alarmed by this sudden change, the sea elves immediately hid between the branches of the Tree of Life.

They hid on the Tree of Life like frightened birds, looking at the deep pit in the ground cautiously, scanning it back and forth with their spiritual power.

However, they saw nothing except a long rope extending from the pit.

No, that wasn’t right. There was another obvious clue.

This deep pit wasn’t a regular circle. It was a bit like the shape of a human body with arms and legs. It was as if it was smashed by someone.

But they weren’t quite sure because there was really nothing at the bottom of the pit.

This was too strange!

Queen Heidi looked solemn. She stopped the sea elves, who were about to leave the Tree of Life to investigate, and asked them to go back.

This matter was really strange.

Logically speaking, the protection of the Tree of Life meant even the attacks of the sea beasts couldn’t enter here, let alone real objects.

What on earth could’ve hidden itself from the Tree of Life to actually break through her defenses? Or… was the Tree of Life already too weak to withstand this unknown object?

Queen Heidi was in a state of confusion and couldn’t get an answer.

The thing that created the deep pit lay motionless on the seabed. Apart from the strangely shaped depression and the rope floating in the sea water, nothing else could be seen.

Such silence actually deepened the fear of the sea elves.

Something must’ve sneaked in!

Grumpy Little Rabbit was pulled onto the tree by Cessia. It took him a while to realize what had happened. He looked at the nervous sea elves and then the strange, deep pit. He seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In his field of view, there were several names stacked above the deep pit. They were all his familiar teammates.

He couldn’t see the people, but in team mode, those who entered a special state could choose whether to affect their teammates or not.

Thus, he knew that those at the bottom of the pit weren’t some unknown monsters, but his dear teammates. Or rather…

The corpses of his teammates.

In the small group of the external communication software, the messages were currently being refreshed. His deceased teammates were frantically pinging him and asking him not to make any noise.

The method they discovered was highly effective, but the way they appeared wasn’t cool at all!

It was okay since they had a cloaking device. They could wait for 20 to 30 minutes to be braves again. If they met the sea elves for the first time as corpses…

This would be too unworthy of their reputation as the fourth disaster!

They still remembered the contempt that the sea elves showed them before, so they had to give the sea elves a good slap in the face.

Grumpy Little Rabbit was at a loss. He felt that if he really told the sea elves, he would probably be regarded as a traitor and the consequences would be quite serious.

He could only sigh and hide in the Tree of Life as a tacit bystander.

Above the deep pit, invisible to the sea elves, the team of people were floating in an orderly manner in soul form. They looked around and complained silently.

“D*mn, we’re finally here! If we kept spinning around, I would’ve become dizzy.”

“This should be holographic dizziness.”

They existed in the form of souls after death, but the souls couldn’t be too far away from the corpses. Once they exceeded the range, they would be pulled back to the corpses.

Since their speed couldn’t compare to the knocked away corpses, they would be pulled forward every time.

That feeling was so sour. They were almost dizzy just thinking about it.

So even though they were stabilized now, they still felt dizzy when they saw everything.

The light in this sea elf territory wasn’t bright, but at least they could barely see things. It wasn’t like the seabed elsewhere where it was pitch black and they couldn’t see anything.

“When do you think the officials will release items for night vision? How can we play in the sea when we can’t see anything?”

“I guess this item should come from the sea elves.”

After all, sea elves stayed on the seabed all year round. If there was really an item that allowed night vision, it was most likely to be on this map.

“So this is the land of the sea elves? D*mn, it is too tragic!”

The Tree of Light, which emitted a faint blue light and had its branches and leaves floating quietly in the sea, looked beautiful and spectacular. However, the living conditions of the sea elves were so harsh that it could be seen at a glance.

“Why do I feel like this mission is a bit of a loss?” Wang Yang couldn’t help saying.

They wasted over 20 days flying over the sea. They might have fought some flying interstellar beasts to gain experience, but most of the experience was lost in a series of deaths just now. They had lost a lot.

The worst-off team member was the one who directly dropped a level.

The higher the level, the harder it was to level up. A lot of experience points was required for each level, and the attributes reduction was also great when dropping a level.

The cost of dying all the way like they did today was very high. If they couldn’t make up for it later, they would fall behind other players.

Lin Mu, who originally had the highest level, was very calm. He said, “Look at the long term. There will be a lot of benefits if we can establish a good relationship with the sea elves.”

“With the intervention of players, there is no guarantee how the sea elves will develop in the future. After all, they are a powerful and rare race.”

“You see, their strength is on average around three or four stars.”

As for the NPCs on the land, their level was basically below three stars except for His Majesty Snow, Si Sheng and several mentors.

The group cheered up again after hearing Lin Mu’s analysis.

They basically belonged to different mercenary groups. They might be working together this time, but they were also in a competitive relationship. At this moment, they started to compete secretly.

Finally, after more than 20 minutes, their resurrection time arrived one after another.

The sea elves were still in a nervous state. In order to avoid misunderstandings and attacks when they appeared, the group of players quickly discussed countermeasures.

Then they chose to resurrect and climb out of the pit together.

Qing Yan didn’t turn off the concealment device immediately but looked at Lin Mu.

Thus, Lin Mu coughed lightly and greeted the sea elves.

Originally, he forgot that he couldn’t speak under the sea. Then miraculously, he discovered that in this sea elf territory, he wasn’t choked by sea water and what he said was heard.

“Hello.”

The man’s calm voice suddenly sounded in the land of sea elves. This caused Queen Heidi, who had finally decided to swim over to take a look, become startled and cautious again.

However, she also knew it wasn’t a good idea to continue being in a stalemate. Thus, she suppressed her fear and asked, “Who are you?”

After asking, Queen Heidi suddenly realized that the other party was speaking the language of the sea elves!

What type of creature was the other party?

Why could he become invisible and master the language of their clan?

Of course, the players didn’t speak the sea elf language. They just used the instant translation function of the game system.

Using the same language would always make the other party feel familiar and relax their guard. It would also be more conducive to communication.

In this regard, players had a natural advantage.

“I am a brave from the Roland Empire, sent by His Majesty Roland to save the sea elves,” Lin Mu said seriously and earnestly.

“Excuse me, is this the land of the sea elves? Is there a sea elf called Grumpy Little Rabbit?”

“I’m here!”

Grumpy Little Rabbit swam out cooperatively and acted with Lin Mu.

“I think I’ve heard of you. Are you Captain Lin Mu?” He asked while looking in the direction of the deep pit.

“Yes, I am the captain of the rescue team, Lin Mu.”

The sea elves in the trees looked at each other. Due to this question and answer, their tense nerves relaxed a bit. Their panic was replaced by curiosity and surprise.

Didn’t Grumpy Little Rabbit say that the human rescue team was still in the sea? There were also only ten of them. How could they arrive so quickly?

Queen Heidi looked at Grumpy Little Rabbit and then the deep pit. Finally, she swam out from the tree and stopped not far from the deep pit.

She was a very beautiful woman. She might look a bit haggard and thin, but this also added to her royal majesty and sharpness.

Facing this foreign race, she concealed all her sadness and fragility. She greeted the envoys from the land in the form of the queen of the sea elves.

“I am the queen of the sea elves. If you are really our allies coming to rescue us, can you show us your true identity?”

She asked while looking at the players who were still invisible.

What she didn’t know was that when she swam out and stopped in front of the players, the whole scene was also recorded in its entirety by the live camera.

From the players’ perspective, against the backdrop of a large tree emitting a faint blue glow, an incredibly beautiful blue-haired mermaid slowly swam over.

She was majestic and domineering, yet feminine. Her voice was also mesmerizing!

[F*k, I can call you queen!]

[Mom, I’m in love.]

[Ahhh, it is a mermaid, a real mermaid! What type of gods are the modelers of Starry Sky Age? Absolutely amazing.]

[Is this the queen of the sea elves? I love her.]

[I want to ask when the map of the sea elves will be opened! I can’t wait to open up new territories for the queen!]

[You traitors to His Majesty Snow! Wu wu wu, take me with you, I want to go too.]

Lin Mu looked at Qing Yan. Qing Yan understood and disabled the effect of the cloaking device.

The figures of the ten people slowly appeared in front of the sea elves. In order to improve their favorability, they deliberately didn’t clean themselves up and still looked miserable.

Queen Heidi looked at them. She was deeply touched when she saw the injuries on their bodies. She couldn’t help being disappointed when she saw their number.

She looked at the ten people and said bluntly, “I am very grateful that you are willing to come to rescue us. But given your situation… I can’t imagine what type of help you can provide to the sea elves.”

Lin Mu was about to speak when Qing Yan took a step forward.

“If we can help the sea elves overcome their current difficulties, will you and your people be willing to submit to the Roland Empire?”

“Perhaps you don’t know but the entire Escher Star has now been designated as the territory of the Roland Empire. If you are unwilling to become a member of the Roland Empire, I am afraid we won’t be able to provide you with much help.”

“After all, given the current situation of the sea elves, saving you will cost the Roland Empire a huge price.”
