Yun Lintian was surprised slightly to see the ponytail girl’s reaction. He glanced at the long-haired girl and said calmly. “I didn’t mean to hurt you two. I’m merely proving that I can easily kill both of you.”
The two elf girls weren’t stupid. They immediately understood the meanings behind Yun Lintian’s words.
Yun Lintian looked at Mu Qiuxue and motioned with his chin. Both of them gently released the elf girls. At this time, the elf girls didn’t raise their bows anymore. After all, it was useless.
“How did elves appear here, Hongyue?” Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
“Do you think there are only two or three races in this vast universe?” Hongyue curled her lips.
“Of course not. What I am asking is how did they appear here in the Azure World? They shouldn’t be a native, right? Also, they are the guardians you talked about before, right?” Yun Lintian rolled his eyes annoyingly.
“Yes, they are the guardians I told you before. How is it, surprised?” Hongyue replied lazily. “Their origin is complicated. In short, they come from a realm called the Heavenly Wood Spirit Realm. With their high affinity with nature and the ability to heal, they have become the most sought-after species in the Divine World.”
“You’re saying they were hunting down and somehow escaped to this place?” Yun Lintian asked curiously.
“As expected from a mad novel reader like you. You can even guess about the plot correctly.” Hongyue laughed gently. “It’s almost the same as you said. It is just that they didn’t escape to this place, but they were following the Tree of Life to this place.”
“I see.” Yun Lintian said in an understanding manner.
Seeing Yun Lintian remained silent, the elf girls were uneasy. The ponytail girl couldn’t help asking. “What are you going to do?”
Yun Lintian returned to his sense and smiled faintly. “Why don’t you introduce yourself first?”
The two elves glanced at each other and became hesitant. The ponytail girl thought for a moment and replied. “My name is Naela, and she’s Aemma. We are the guardians of this forest.”
“Naela and Aemma. It’s elven enough.” Yun Lintian nodded his head while muttering.
Naela looked at Yun Lintian weirdly. She didn’t understand what Yun Lintian was saying.
“Can you tell me how did Abyssal Energy appear here?” Yun Lintian asked.
Naela went silent for a moment before replying. “We have to trace back to four thousand years ago. At that time, the Abyssal Beasts were rampaging, and one of its leaders, the Dragon of Death, tried to break into this place. Fortunately, it was subdued by our queen.”
She took a deep breath and said solemnly. “Our queen cannot kill it because it was too powerful. Her Majesty could only seal it in this land with the help of Lord Tree of Life… Unfortunately, Lord Tree of Life is gradually declining and couldn’t no longer suppress the Dragon of Death…. It will be fully awake soon.”
“Oh, what a typical plot.” Yun Lintian muttered.
“What?” Naela looked at Yun Lintian in confusion.
“Nothing.” Yun Lintian responded. “Why did you tell me the truth all of a sudden? I thought you would come up with lies.”
Aemma interjected. “We are not like you human. We’re disdain to lie.”
“I see.” Yun Lintian nodded. “Did you say your queen is just now? Why don’t you bring us to see her?”
“Impossible!” Aemma quickly said. “Even if we have to die here, we will never bring any outsider to see Her Majesty!”
Meanwhile, Naela didn’t say anything, but the meaning in her eyes was obvious—it was impossible for her to bring him there.
Yun Lintian wasn’t annoyed by their attitude. It was totally understandable. After all, they were enemies in a sense.
“Hongyue, is there a way to gain their trust?” Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
“Easy. Let Linlin show her true form. These elves pretty much respect a true divine beast.” Hongyue replied casually.
“Oh? It seems I have to study more later.” Yun Lintian had no idea about this. He quickly sent a sound transmission to Linlin. “Linlin, big brother has to trouble you showing your true form.”
“Mhm!” Linlin replied readily and jumped out of Yun Lintian’s head. Her figure quickly expanded and became a giant white tiger.
Linlin’s sudden change in her appearance stunned everyone in the scene. Especially Guchang. He always thought Linlin was an ordinary snow tiger all this time.
“This… White Tiger God?” Naela and Aemma’s eyes were wide open as they stared at Linlin in disbelief.
“Yes. Her name is Linlin.” Yun Lintian answered.
“She’s a divine beast?” Mu Qiuxue asked in astonishment.
Linlin lowered her head to look at Mu Qiuxue, and a fierce golden lightning spark flashed through her eyes, causing Mu Qiuxue to subconsciously take a few steps back.
Meanwhile, Guchang and Fan felt their bloodline was totally suppressed by Linlin’s presence and had the urge to kneel down.
“We greet Lord White Tiger God.” Naela and Aemma hurriedly knelt on one knee and greeted Linlin with the utmost respect.
Linlin glanced at them and said. “Can you trust Big Brother Yun now?”
“Yes! Our queen said a person who could gain complete trust in Divine Beast Gods is trustworthy. We will never doubt him again.” Naela and Aemma answered loudly.
Yun Lintian watched the scene and sighed inwardly. Having Linlin was indeed convenient. Otherwise, he had no idea how to gain the trust of these elves in a short time.
Linlin nodded and returned to her miniature size, hopping onto Yun Lintian’s shoulder.
“Now, can you bring us to see your queen?” Yun Lintian asked.
This time, Naela and Aemma didn’t hesitate anymore. “Yes, please follow us.” 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢
Yun Lintian smiled and beckoned Mu Qiuxue and others to follow.
As Yun Lintian’s group followed Naela and Aemma away, Du Huanfeng’s group gradually emerged a few kilometers away from Yun Lintian’s original position. They were currently observing the vicinity in amazement.
“This is not where we came last time.” Du San frowned.
Du Huanfeng’s eyes flashed with excitement as he looked at the surrounding precious woods. “Undoubtedly, this place is the real Misty Forest. It means the Tree of Life is here.” He turned to look at his subordinates and said. “Hurry up! Take these trees down.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The subordinates accepted the task readily and started chopping the trees.
“Finally…” Du Huanfeng looked in the forest’s center direction with a grin.
