Chapter 940: Flooded Mine

"Madam Landlady, to be honest, Roger and I just got a big deal and are going to make a lot of money! If you don't believe me, ask Roger!" Martin proudly put his hands on his waist.

"It's indeed a big deal." Roger picked up the check left by the old housekeeper and waved it towards the window.

Although Mrs. Miller is old, her eyesight is very good. She saw the number on the check at a glance, and her face was more smiling.

"Wow, we have to celebrate tonight! What do you want for dinner, two great detectives? How about cream stew with two roasted quails?"

"Great, Mrs. Miller, if I can find someone I like, I hope she can cook as well as you do!"

"Little Fatty, don't blame me for meddling in your business. You are not young anymore. You can't hang out in bars all day and waste your money and health on those immoral women. You should be like Roger and find a girl from a good family to date."

"I would like to have a decent girlfriend, but unfortunately I don't have the chance."

"Last week I introduced my niece to you for a blind date. You met once and had a meal. Why didn't you contact me afterwards?"

"Come on, your niece is ten years older than me, and I can tolerate that, but her husband just died and she has an eight-year-old boy! How can a good young man like me fall in love with a widow with a burden?" Martin complained angrily.

"What's wrong with being a widow? She inherited a winemaking workshop from her dead husband. You won't have to worry about food or clothes when you get married. You'll have a lot of happiness!"

"What's wrong with having a child? You won't suffer any loss if you get a son for free!"

"Young people are ignorant. A second-married woman will love her husband more than a little girl!"

"Okay, okay, please forgive me!" Martin ran away with his head in his hands.

Rogge smiled, waved goodbye to the landlady, and followed Martin out the door.

Martin ran all the way to the street before turning back to whistle and call the hound over.

"This 'landlord' is still good. He's not so long-winded." Martin stroked the hound's head.

The "landlord" wagged his tail and barked. It was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed with his master's evaluation.

Rogge stopped a rented carriage, called Martin and the hound to get in the car, and drove to the church.

"Let's go to the church to find Louise first. If she is interested, take her to the mining area to investigate the missing case."

Rogge said to his partner. "The dark underground mines are occasionally connected to ancient tombs, which are prone to breed undead creatures. It is possible that this is the root cause of the mysterious disappearance of the miners. Bring Louise, the priest, with you, so that you will not panic if you encounter undead." "I guess Miss Quinn is happy to participate." Martin laughed dryly and added weakly, "If she helps out of love, brother, I don't think you will mind, right? It's not a bad thing to have one less person to share the money." Rogge glared at him and said unhappily: "If Louise doesn't take her share of the reward, I will keep it for her, so you don't have to worry about it!" The scene changed, and the game scene switched to the mining area in the far suburbs of Binhai City. Rogge, Louise and Martin, with their hounds, stood side by side at the entrance of the weed-covered mine. At the same time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng both received system prompts to turn on the "Goddess Mode" and control the male and female protagonists respectively. The adventure of this chapter officially began. The mine has been shut down for two months. Rainwater washed away the footprints of the miners who had used these tunnels. A set of rusty mine car tracks extended from the entrance to the depths of the mine.

Jiang Feng remotely controlled the "Dancing Light Technique" to explore the way ahead.

Gao Fei coordinated in the middle.

Martin walked at the end of the team with the hound to guard against surprise attacks from behind.

The mine is close to the underground riverbed, which is damp and seeping.

It is necessary to pump out water regularly before construction can be carried out.

After the mine was shut down, it was not drained in time. In the past two months, the water in the tunnel has exceeded one meter deep and is muddy.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng can use their professional ability "flying over the eaves and walking on the walls" to climb the walls through the flooded sections.

Martin did not have the ability to fly over the eaves and walk on the walls, and was reluctant to swim in the muddy water like a hound, so he stood by the water and was in trouble.

Gao Fei was also helping him think of a solution.

Jiang Feng was idle anyway, so he threw a "dry water technique" at the tunnel, and the water surface hissed and a large cloud of steam rose.

Each time she cast a spell, 110 liters of water evaporated, which was better than nothing.

Just as she was absent-mindedly casting the spell, the water suddenly splashed and a white shadow jumped up.

Jiang Feng was startled and jumped onto the wall without thinking!

Looking down again, the strange white shadow had fallen back into the water and disappeared without a trace.

Gao Fei looked up at his girlfriend who was hanging upside down on the ceiling of the tunnel with a terrified face and asked her what happened.

"You all be careful, there seems to be a monster in the water!" Jiang Feng lowered his voice to warn his companions.

Gao Fei and Martin looked at the water surface together, but apart from the spreading ripples, they did not find anything abnormal.

Martin gave his shotgun a "light spell" that was brighter than the "dancing light spell", illuminating the nearby water surface.

The three people's sights looked through the slightly turbid water to the bottom, and the water was empty, with no signs of anything unusual.

"Louise, are you sure there is a monster in the water?" Martin muttered in confusion, "It looks normal!"

"I really saw it just now!" Jiang Feng stared at the water, his eyes also full of confusion, "The monster jumped out of the water, it looked like a transparent big water snake, and fell back into the water in a blink of an eye, and then disappeared without a trace..."

"Transparent big water snake..."

According to Jiang Feng's description, Gao Fei first thought of the water element.

However, the water element only has a python-like lower body, while the upper body presents a vague human shape, with a complete head and arms, which does not quite fit Jiang Feng's description, and it does not have the ability to be invisible. Maybe she did not see it clearly when she took a quick glance?

In any case, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Gao Fei thought for a moment and took out a leather lantern from the storage space of the star disk.

This was a magic device he obtained by killing the tree rope monster when he rescued William Gordon, the son of the police chief, in the bear goblin's lair. It is called the "visualization lamp".

Gao Fei opened the lampshade and chanted the spell. The lantern immediately emitted a magical glow, illuminating the surrounding 60-foot space.

Within the range of light radiation, all invisible effects will be dispelled, and invisible creatures will be marked as "demon fire".

Gao Fei shone the lantern on the water surface, and indeed found two translucent snake-like figures lurking under the water, surrounded by a circle of orange-red fluorescence, which is the characteristic of "demon fire".

Once marked with the "demon fire" mark, even if Gao Fei extinguishes the lantern, the two monsters hiding under the water will temporarily lose their invisibility ability and become extremely conspicuous, giving any attack launched against them an advantage.
