Chapter 171: The Green Elf
The mysterious footprints aroused the suspicion of Mulan and Lu Yu, and the two began to survey the jade mine.
Looking at the figure that the two were searching, Yu Linfeng quietly leaned towards the attendant beside him and asked softly, "They have all been evacuated from here, right?" β
"Well, we've moved them to a hidden place."
The squire replied.
"That's good."
The stone in his heart was able to fall, and Yu Linfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air as if relieved, and his expression became calm.
Those little guys must not be discovered by outsiders.
Even the guards of the Great Wall must not let them know.
Otherwise, those innocent little ones may suffer a catastrophe.
Yu Linfeng secretly made up his mind in his heart to protect this secret no matter what.
On the side of Hua Mulan and Lu Yu, the two searched all over the large and small jade mines, but except for those mysterious footprints, they did not find any suspicious figures.
"Could it really be a critter?"
Even Hua Mulan couldn't help but show a puzzled look, and there was no clue at all about these mysterious footprints.
ββ
Lu Yu looked around, except for the jade that bloomed with faint fluorescence, it was full of vitality and vitality, as if it was integrated with the air, and he couldn't perceive any other breath.
However, Lu Yu always felt that behind the faint green light, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes, secretly peeking on him.
However, as long as Lu Yu turned his head, this feeling immediately dissipated in the air.
However, he didn't feel any chill or malice, like a coward who cast a curious glance at him, quietly hiding in the shadows.
"Mulan."
stopped Hua Mulan, who was searching, and Lu Yu's face was a little more clear and confident.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the extra confidence on Lu Yu's face, Mulan also asked curiously, wondering what he thought.
"This way, that, that"
Lu Yu leaned in and whispered in Mulan's ear.
"Whew, finally gone."
Looking at the backs of Lu Yu and Hua Mulan leaving the jade mine, Yu Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to be about to go limp.
Thankfully, in the end, they didn't find anything.
"Chirp"
At this moment, from the depths of the jade mine, there was a crisp sound, like a birdsong but slightly more agile and lively.
Instantly, the glowing green light jumped out of the jade mine like a joyful elf.
"Chirp"
I saw many swollen creatures, like rolling small balls, slowly coming out, and the whole body was blooming with green crystal light, reflecting the same color and glow as jade.
These little creatures look particularly joyful and cute, and they are all green, like round peas, chubby and very fleshy, but their small eyes are blinking like bright lights, smart and cute.
At this time, these elves were all around Yu Linfeng's side, constantly bouncing, and the crisp chirping sound seemed to express something.
"Don't worry, they're gone."
Looking at these cute elves around him, Yu Linfeng said with a smile, his eyebrows were full of gentleness and kindness, as if he was facing his friends, and the attendants beside him also took special care of these elves.
"Chirp"
These elves were able to understand what Yu Linfeng was saying, and their voices, which were originally a little low, suddenly became relaxed and lively, jumping happily around Yu Linfeng's side.
"Yuzai, don't be afraid, with us, you will never be discovered by the outside world."
Yu Linfeng stroked these little elves called "Jade Boy" and said.
It turns out that these green elves are named Jade Boy, and they are the beings who originally lived in the underground jade mines.
According to rumors, they were born from the jade spring at the top of the Jade Mountain Cliff, and they have an even more astonishing identityββββ demon seed.
Yes, these harmless elves are the Demon Seed, but they don't have the fierce faces and sharp fangs of the Demon Seed. If you don't look at them with any colored glasses, they are just a group of cute and lively mascots.
The existence of Jade is even older than the birth of Jade City.
Before the rise of the jade trade here, the jade boys were already active in this land, they took jade as their home, absorbed the nutrients in the jade and lived, and did not have any impact on the outside world at all.
On weekdays, the jade boys would carry the jade from the underground jade mine to the ground and build the foundation, which was also the predecessor of the jade square.
When humans began to migrate into the jade city, the huge jade square also stood on this land. The people of Jade City discovered the existence of Jade Boy, but although Jade Boy is a demon seed, they are not destructive at all, but they get along very well with humans.
The classics that exist in the Jade City have recorded that these seemingly weak demon seeds contain a mysterious power of rebirth in their bodies.
And this power of rebirth is also contained in the magnificent jade spring water.
Of course, the existence of Jade Boy is not known to the outside world, because their secret is the taboo of Jade City, and once their existence is known to the outside world, it may cause them to be destroyed.
Not only because they are demon seeds, but also because of the mystery that lies within them.
However, on weekdays, the people of Yucheng and the two different races of Yuzai live together like friends, without any estrangement and gap.
The people helped Jade Tsai build a jade square, which allowed them to live and live here, and Jade Tsai also helped humans to mine jade together, find jade, and bring economic prosperity.
Humans and demons coexist, and if this is known to the outside world, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of gossip.
However, Jade Linfeng, like the previous city lords, was not afraid of rumors, because a peaceful life was what they were looking forward to, even if it was to live with the demon seed.
Previously, when Mulan and Lu Yu were looking for the footprints left by the jade boys, the jade boys hid in the jade, because their color and breath were the same as the jade, so they were hidden in the green fluorescence, and they couldn't attract any notice at all.
"Chirp"
The little jade boys were beating happily, and their little eyes flashed with great joy, expressing their gratitude to Yu Linfeng.
"That's what we're supposed to do."
Since the establishment of Jade City, it has become an unwritten rule to protect Jade Tsai, from the city lord officials to the common people, it is something that must be observed.
