Next, with nods to his subordinates, Leo Ray did not hesitate to directly step into the last corridor of the Elf Underground City.
After entering the corridor, Leo Ray noticed.
There were no other rooms on either side of the corridor, apart from the bas-reliefs on the walls, there was only the damp, musty smell filling the air.
The overall layout was very similar to the corridor they had first entered.
Escorted by Taylor and others, after about five to six minutes of walking, the view before them suddenly widened.
At first glance, what caught Leo Ray’s eyes.
Was not a spacious underground hall as imagined, but another rest area similar in size to the one before.
However, this time, instead of having one corridor in front of them, there were two.
Moreover, on top of each corridor were still engraved ancient Elvish characters.
“My Lord, it says ‘Main Hall’ and ‘Temple’!”
At this moment, a look of surprise flashed across Jasper Richardson’s face: “I didn’t expect to find an underground temple of the elf tribe here!
Generally speaking, temples are one of the usual places where the Tears of the Elves are stored!”
“It seems that we have already seen the dawn of hope.”
With a smile and nod, Leo Ray then said to his subordinates, “Alright, let’s start exploring this ‘Temple’ first.”
“Yes, my Lord!” On the other hand, excitement filled the faces of the other subordinates.
Without a doubt. as long as Tasoer Richardson could regain his caDabilitv and return to Tier 5 Level.
Then their overall combat power would obviously reach a new height!
In this way, under Leo Ray’s command, all of his subordinates perked up, regrouped as an exploration team, and set off towards the temple.
During this process, Leo Ray discovered.
The corridor leading to the Temple was longer than usual, and the stone carvings on the walls were even more exquisite.
Upon closer inspection, these bas-reliefs were almost all depicting scenes of the Elf Tribe holding sacrifices and celebrating festivals.
Under the glow of the Light Crystal Stone’s pale golden light.
In the pictures, the long-eared elf characters had bright, smiling faces, lively and lifelike, making one can’t help but admire them.
“Well, this trip turned out to be a sightseeing tour as well.” Seeing this, Leo Ray leisurely said to himself.
A moment later, when everyone had successfully walked out of the corridor, they couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
The Elf Underground Temple in front of their eyes was much larger than they had imagined.
At a glance, the visible area alone was around five to six hundred square meters, with a height of at least three stories.
Despite being underground, this square temple did not feel oppressive, resembling a small square.
In the temple, rows and columns of towering stone pillars stood neatly.
Moreover, these stone pillars were carved with extremely intricate and exquisite hollow techniques, like finely crafted works of art.
After marveling at this, Jasper Richardson, Gideon Black, and Scarlett, who were at the front of the team, began searching for the path ahead using their flying abilities.
At the same time, Taylor, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark swiftly moved on the ground, searching for possible traps and mechanisms.
After a while, having received safety reports from both teams.
Leo Ray, accompanied by Abigail and Amelia, stepped down the stone steps connecting the corridor and the temple and entered the temple.
“My Lord, there seems to be something strange about this temple.” Immediately afterward, a surprised voice from Jasper Richardson entered Leo Ray’s ears.
“Oh? What makes you say that?” Hearing this, Leo Ray walked between the huge stone pillars, looking puzzled.
“My Lord, there’s something wrong with the Elf Goddess statue inside the temple. You should come and take a look.”
Soon after, Jasper Richardson’s clear voice came again through mind talk: “It’s at the front.”
“Understood, I’ll be there in a moment.” Puzzled, Leo Ray nodded to Abigail and Amelia beside him, heading towards Jasper Richardson’s direction.
Quickly passing through the front and middle sections of the temple formed by the giant stone pillars, Leo Ray soon arrived at the front of the Underground Temple.
At this point, the six subordinates including Taylor who were exploring ahead had already been waiting there.
Behind them was a giant human statue nearly ten meters tall.
Jasper Richardson, Gideon Black, and Scarlett were seen hovering above the statue’s top, middle, and bottom, with Light Crystal Stones shining in their hands, fully illuminating the entire statue.
Raising his head, by the light of the Light Crystal Stones, Leo Ray noticed.
It was a statue of an Elf female, clad in armor and holding a short blade in one hand while a longbow in the other.
The pointed ears representing the Elf Tribe’s characteristic features and an extremely beautiful face were, of course, needless to mention.
Most importantly, the solemn facial expression of the statue, combined with the shadow of the light, revealed a murderous air.
This aspect was a stark contrast to the gentle and soft nature of the previous bas-reliefs, evoking a strong sense of inconsistency.
“My Lord, this is a statue of a Dark Elf Goddess.”
Jasper Richardson, while descending from the air, landed in front of Leo Ray with a surprised look on his face: “No matter how you think about it, this statue of a Dark Elf should absolutely not appear in a temple belonging to the
Light Elves.”
“I see.” Upon hearing this, Leo Ray’s face showed a thoughtful expression.
From the knowledge he had learned before, he already knew.
Since ancient times in this world, the three factions of the Elf Tribe have always been in opposing positions, with few exchanges, and even frequently engaging in wars.
Therefore, the appearance of a Dark Elf Goddess statue in this underground city belonging to the Light Elves, especially in the sacred temple, was indeed an unbelievable occurrence.
Thinking of this, Leo Ray shook his head and stopped pondering further.
“Forget it, our goal on this trip is to find the Tears of the Elves and restore Jasper’s strength.
As for other things, no matter how strange they seem, they have nothing to do with the current situation.
Perhaps, when the time is right, everything will naturally be resolved.”
Realizing this, Leo Ray steadied himself and spoke to the half-elf ancestor in front of him: “Alright, Jasper, let’s focus on the task at hand.
Do you know if the Tears of the Elves exist here?”
“My Lord, I’ll start detecting it immediately!” Upon hearing this, the doubt on Jasper’s face was replaced by anticipation and excitement, and he rose back into the air.
In a moment, an obscure spell was chanted, and as Jasper’s chant grew louder and louder.
The eyes of the Dark Elf Goddess statue began to slowly shine..
