Chapter 374: Natural Elf Kuluofa and the undead mist!
Moving forward in the mist, visibility was severely restricted, and with mist everywhere, there was no sense of direction at all, making getting lost extremely common.
However, with Aiweina as the guide, getting lost was impossible.
This forest was where she grew up; she was familiar with every place. Elves are born with a high affinity for the natural environment. To make her get lost in this mist, unless she herself wanted to get lost, it would be very difficult.
Under her leadership, the three gradually approached the edge of the Elf Forest.
"Further ahead is the true Elf Forest. Once we step in, we will trigger the barrier and be discovered."
Li Xiang nodded slightly. "Let's rest here first."
"Okay."
As soon as the three stopped, the mist ahead dispersed slightly.
A treehouse appeared in the eyes of the three.
Doubt appeared in Aiweina's eyes. "When was this built?"
It seemed this treehouse wasn't here when she left.
"Aiweina, is that you?" A voice came from inside the treehouse.
Then, the treehouse door opened, and an Elf ran out from it.
This Elf looked very young. After seeing Aiweina, he immediately cried out, "Aiweina, it really is you!"
He directly threw himself into Aiweina's embrace.
Aiweina was also very surprised to see a member of the Elf Race. "Kuluofa, why are you here?"
Kuluofa spoke while crying.
Now the entire Elf Forest is covered by this undead mist, and the further towards the central area, the thicker the mist. Under the effect of this undead mist, the entire Elf Forest is desolate, and the power of the Elf Race, which originates from nature, has greatly decreased.
The new Elf King, Blair, negotiated with the Undead multiple times, but all were fruitless.
The Undead hope the Elf Race can join the Undead army. If they refuse, they will turn all the Elves in the entire Elf Forest into Undead.
Under the effect of the undead mist, the overall strength and vitality of the Elf Race are constantly weakening. If this continues, the Elf Race in the entire Elf Forest will be finished.
"What about the other Elf Races? Did the Elf Race of the Tree Sea to the south and the Elf Race of the Dark Shadow Forest to the north not come to support?"
Kuluofa shook his head, crying. "The Undead have set up a barrier in the Elf Forest, and this mist is part of the barrier.
Elves can only enter, not leave. I was sent out to ask for help from other Elf Races, but I got trapped here and could only build a treehouse to live in temporarily while I figure things out."
Li Xiang spoke up. "If you build a treehouse in this fringe area, won't you be discovered by the Undead?"
Only then did Kuluofa notice Li Xiang, and the expression on his face immediately became wary. "Human... You are a Human!"
He immediately pulled away from Aiweina's embrace. "Aiweina... Did you really defect to the Humans and collude with them?!"
Before Aiweina could speak, Anthony instantly appeared in front of Kuluofa and flicked his forehead.
"Ah~ Ow ow ow! You are... a Fire Spirit?!"
Anthony looked down at Kuluofa. "Little brat, if you dare to say anything impure again, I'll turn you into a roasted Elf!"
"Don't... don't..."
Kuluofa looked at Anthony fearfully.
Elves are extremely sensitive to auras and elements.
From Anthony, what he felt was an extreme, terrifying, fiery aura like a volcanic eruption.
Li Xiang coughed lightly and shifted all attention to himself. "I came here so that the Elf Ancient Tree could clear my doubts."
Upon hearing about the Elf Ancient Tree, Kuluofa slumped onto the ground. "The Elf Ancient Tree... has already withered..."
Li Xiang was startled.
It withered?!
"Anthony, let's go. There's no value here anymore."
Anthony said "Oh" and looked at Aiweina. "Are you... staying here?"
Aiweina was also stunned by this news.
The Elf Ancient Tree is the origin of the Elf Race. The withering of the Elf Ancient Tree means the Elf Race is facing extinction...
"How could this happen..."
Thud.
Aiweina knelt in front of Li Xiang. "Master, please save the Elf Race!"
Kuluofa was stunned by Aiweina's actions.
Master?!
"Aiweina... What are you doing?! You are of the Elf Royal Family! How can you kneel before lowly Humans!"
Slap!
A flaming slap landed on Kuluofa's face, sending him flying.
"Ah!!!"
Anthony blew on the flames in her hand and looked at Li Xiang. "Pumpkin... how about saving the Elf Race? Make the entire Elf Race submit to you."
Li Xiang squatted down and helped Aiweina up. "I'll ask you a question."
"Master, please ask."
"Are you sincerely submitting to me?"
Aiweina stared blankly at Li Xiang. After a moment, she kowtowed before Li Xiang. "If you can save the Elf Race, I, Aiweina Scannit of the Elf Royal Family, swear to the Creator God that I will dedicate my Soul and body to you for the rest of my life."
Swearing to the Creator God is the strongest oath of the Elf Race; its efficacy is no less than a Demon contract.
"Okay, then I'll help."
"Thank you, Master~"
"Get up."
"Anthony, put out the fire on that little guy."
Anthony reluctantly said "Oh" and waved towards Kuluofa. The flames on him immediately went out.
Anthony hadn't hit him hard just now, but Kuluofa's eyebrows and hair were still burned off, making him look like a peeled egg.
"Hahahaha... I'm dying of laughter!" Anthony burst into laughter upon seeing his comical appearance.
After witnessing Anthony's terror, Kuluofa became obedient. He walked over to Aiweina's side, feeling wronged.
Aiweina gently stroked his Guang Tou and said softly, "This is my Master, Lord Pumpkin. That is Miss Anthony."
Kuluofa walked up to Li Xiang. "Humans! Although your bloodline is inferior..."
Flames appeared in Anthony's hand.
Kuluofa was so scared he quickly added "but," "But if you can help the Elf Forest, I am also willing to submit to you."
Anthony glanced at him. "We don't just take any trash."
Kuluofa's face flushed instantly. "I... I'm not trash! I am the most talented Natural Elf in the Elf Forest in a hundred years!"
Anthony tsked. "Natural Elf? You can't even take one slap from me, and you have the nerve to call yourself a Natural Elf."
Kuluofa said dispiritedly, "The power of a Natural Elf relies on the environment. The environment here is too harsh, and I can't exert my power."
After speaking, his body swayed precariously, and he directly fainted.
Anthony froze for a moment, held onto his body, looked at Li Xiang, and said blankly, "I... I didn't hit him?"
Aiweina picked up Kuluofa and whispered, "This child, Kuluofa, is indeed a Natural Elf. His natural origin is the root of the Elf Race - the Elf Ancient Tree. Now that the Elf Ancient Tree has lost all its vitality, correspondingly, he won't live much longer..."
The purpose of the tribesmen sending him out should also be to preserve the tinder of the Elf Race..."
Li Xiang looked at Kuluofa. He didn't expect to catch such a good prospect here; he couldn't let him die.
"Anthony, you stay here and take care of Kuluofa. Aiweina and I will enter the Elf Forest."
Anthony voiced her dissatisfaction. "I don't want to..."
She had just spoken halfway when her gaze met Li Xiang's eyes. She knew this wasn't the time to be petty. "Okay, okay..."
Li Xiang patted her head. "Good girl~"
"Come back soon..."
"We will. Let's go, Aiweina."
