Volume II, chapters 19 and 20
Chapter 19: Invasion of the Devourer of Elves
"How did it come at this time?" Shi Leiyin looked at the elves around him who fell down like dumplings, and was about to open the isolation barrier from before. only to find that those elves who were contaminated with the aura of darkness obviously had better resistance than the previous Jie Liya, and their wings fluttered before landing, barely protecting the safe landing of their companions who were not contaminated with the breath.
"Jing'er, take the ball ball to save the elves who fell into the water" Before Shi Leiyin finished speaking, the clone had already jumped onto Shui Jing's body with a small enchantment. And he himself immediately opened an enchantment of nearly 100 square meters in his place, which was the largest enchantment range that he now contained in the ability to sustain enough time.
"Is this the enchantment that Jieliya is talking about? it really has the function of resisting that kind of thought wave" An Wei'er is the only elf who is not infected with the dark aura, but can rely on her own strength to insist on flying into the enchantment of Shi Leiyin. However, it was obvious that under the influence of the Nian Wave, An Wei'er also spent all her strength to fly this distance, and she descended as soon as she entered the enchantment.
"Thank you for your help," the two elders, Rebian and Nasha, helped the other two elves dressed in elder costumes into the barrier. Since the elven elder is much larger than the average elf, only the two elves, who are also elders, can support each other.
"Elder An Wei'er, there is also a guard we sent out at the entrance and exit over there, you see" An elder had just entered the enchantment, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said this directly to An Wei'er, but his eyes pointed to Shui Jing who had just rescued all the elves who had fallen into the water next to the Elf Tree back to the shore, and on Shui Jing's body, Shi Leiyin's clone was opening a small enchantment of several square meters.
"If the clone leaves me more than two hundred meters, he will quickly lose most of his abilities, including the ability to release the enchantment," Shi Leiyin reacted one step ahead of An Wei'er, so that the elder's opinion was directly rejected before it could be raised.
"Even if you can go, I'm afraid it's too late" An Wei'er's face darkened, "Just now, a large number of slimes entered the secret realm through the entrance, and the guards may have all died"
"Grand Elder Anwei'er, the elves in the clan have basically entered the enchantment, and Elder Nasha and Elder Aixia are stabilizing the children's emotions. However, the patrol team on duty has completely lost contact with the children who have gone out to play. Rebian walked over with a tired face, his elder's robe was already stained with a lot of mud, probably because he had run out of the barrier many times to bring in the other elves. Under the dual influence of the dark aura and elder-level strength, Rebian was the least affected by the Thoughts Wave among all of them, but because he had been in and out of the barrier many times, his condition seemed to be worse than that of Anvier.
"Forget it, although this thought wave has a very powerful impact, it will not be fatal, as long as we solve the source, they will naturally come back" An Wei'er glanced at the outside of the enchantment, sighed and asked, "Mr. Shi Leiyin, can your enchantment only be so big?"
"Even if it's this size, I can only last for two to three days, which is about the right time to meet with 'that guy'" Shi Leiyin looked at the enchantment, and there were almost more than three hundred elves of all sizes crowded together. "Is that all you have in your people where you live now?
"Everyone in the place of residence should be there, only the patrol, the doorman, and the few children who ran out to play a few days ago are not there. Rebian answered Shi Leiyin's question in place of Avier.
"And is there an elf named Anatia too? I want to ask her something" In fact, Shrayin has already searched within the barrier,
The elf with a darker aura stronger than Rebian wasn't in the barrier.
"Anatia?" said Rebian's name, looking around, but he didn't find his target where he had hoped.
"Has anyone seen Anatia?" Ann Wei'er sensed the gravity of Shray's words, and asked directly and loudly, but it was clear that the elf she was looking for was not within the enchantment.
"Mr. Shrayin, do you have anything to do with Annatie? Can you tell me about it first? Maybe I can answer some of your questions as well" Annatie's disappearance made Ann Weier feel a little obviously wrong, thinking of the current situation, Anvier came to a conclusion that she couldn't quite believe, "Could it be that Anatia has something to do with the Spirit Devourer?"
"No, there's no evidence that the two have anything to do with each other," Shi Leiyin thought about it for a while, but decided to tell what he had discovered when he and Jieliya speculated earlier.
"There is obviously some connection between the Elven Tree and the dark aura on Annatiea's body, but now the person concerned cannot be contacted, so it is impossible to know the specific reason. And now this dark aura can help you elves resist the pressure of the Nian Bo brought by the Devourer to a certain extent, which shows that this dark aura has some connection with the Elf Devourer, but what this connection is, we can't and don't have time to figure it out for the time being. Except for concealing that he had encountered the same Lemut spider, Shi Leiyin basically told everything. It's just that after saying this, he found that the faces of several elf elders turned white, as if they had thought of something terrifying.
Chapter 20: The Legend of the Elven Devourer
The existence of the Elven Devourer is just a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation for the elves who have lived extremely long.
Legend has it that the elves have a natural predator, he is weaker than any elf, but he can eat any powerful elf, because in front of him, any elf will only tremble, and even lose the courage to escape. No elf can escape from the predators, because any elves he finds will be completely devoured. Fortunately, the predators can only use their eyes to find the location of the elves, and the elves can avoid the tracking of the predators by migrating, and the elven tree is restored to seeds every hundred years, which is also officially so that the elves can migrate the whole race before they are discovered by the predators. The predator has no name, so the elves call him the Elven Devourer.
This is just one legend that all elves have heard of in their elders, but there is still a small number of accounts of devourers among the elders of the clan. Unlike the oral legend, this account of the devourer of elves has survived in the form of a rare note, and among the elves whose memory never fails, the record of the note represents the most important thing to leave behind in the face of annihilation. In fact, the account was in tatters when it was discovered, and only a few words could be discerned: the mutation of the tree...... Changes in companions...... Irresistible devouring creatures...... Resisting the Light ...... Not enough strength...... The destruction of a race.
When Shi Leiyin once again mentioned the mutation of the Elven Tree and the Elven Devourer who had been forced in front of him to be put together, all the Elven Elders invariably thought of this record. In the eyes of the elders, this account is a record of the cause of the demise of the elves of that race, and this is the reason why it is recorded, when both appear at the same time, the elves of any tribe have no choice but to meet their destruction
"There is also mention of the light that can resist and the lack of power, does that mean that the power of the light is not enough?" Shi Leiyin heard this from Anweier, and he was very puzzled by the pessimistic conclusions reached by these elves, but considering that the elves have been locked up for so many years, it is normal for their brains to be a little rigid.
"Maybe that's what it means," An Wei'er's face showed no signs of getting better at all, "but what kind of light is it?sunlight?Or is it moonlight?If it's the light of nature, how can it not be strong enough?Does it mean that the elves who gather the light are not strong enough?Or is it ......" An Wei'er was probably overly nervous, and she didn't have the elegant attitude she had before, and she was a little incoherent.
"Stop, don't think about it!" Shi Leiyin shouted and startled the surrounding elves, all of whom looked at him, and at the same time woke An Wei'er from the brink of collapse.
"Okay, let's not think about the legend for the time being, let's think about how to deal with the difficulties in front of us first" Shi Leiyin was a little self-deprecating, he originally just came to set up an enchantment and planned to leave with Jieliya, but because of a coincidence, he had to stay here to help the elves fight against natural enemies, fortunately, under the previous induction, Shi Leiyin knew that he was at least better than the other party in terms of mental power, even if he was invincible in physical ability, there was absolutely no problem with escaping with Shui Jing.
"The difficulties in front of you, the ...... in front of you Difficulty, yes," An Wei'er's eyes regained her composure, "Mr. Shi Leiyin, if you are given enough energy to replenish it, how long can you cast the enchantment, and how long will it last?"
"If you have a magic source, you can at least cover the entire lake, and the time depends on the size of the magic source. If you add it regularly, you can continue it forever," Shi Leiyin replied honestly, in fact, this was exactly the method he originally intended to use to complete the agreement with Jieliya. It's just that now that the matter is urgent, he can only rely on his own magic to maintain the barrier first. "The words of the source of mana,
With the elven moonstone or star stone, it can be maintained for a long time. Shi Leiyin specially added that these two stones are the more famous magic stones of the elf race.
"We don't have these two stones, but we have the Wind Spirit Stone and the Wind Spirit Stone that also gather magical power," An Wei'er took out two green stones the size of a human fingernail from her body and placed them in front of Shi Leiyin. "It's all of this size, how much does it take to complete the enchantment?"
"There should be at least a hundred round stones," Shi Leiyin swallowed the stones directly into his body, using them to sense the different magical powers of the two stones. "If you want a lightning-shaped stone, you need more than 20 stones, but the lightning-shaped stone can last longer."
"We still have twenty wind essence stones, please let the clone accompany me to get some wind essence stones, my house is just outside the range of your enchantment" An Wei'er pointed to a treehouse not far from the enchantment, although it was equally beautiful, it was not much different from other treehouses, and it was completely impossible to see the residence of a great elder with the highest status of an elf ministry.
"If that's a little distance, just walk over, why do you need to be separated?" Shi Leiyin climbed directly in that direction for some distance, enveloping the treehouse in the enchantment.
"Hey, your enchantment can move with you?"
"Didn't I say that?"
"Never"
"You didn't ask."
