Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Black Spirit Reappears
Tens of thousands of elven warriors gathered outside the Forest of Dreams.
Elven archers lined up in neat formations, elven warriors armed with spears, elven mages in robes, and elven knights riding various mounts, and hundreds of elven archers flying magical beasts hovered overhead.
The elves are also a race with a complete range of troops, and before the rise of the human race, the elves also established a powerful elven empire that ruled half of the continent.
The elven army in front of her is only a part of the elven kingdom's army, and the elven queen has requisitioned an elven army of nearly 100,000 people this time, completely surrounding the Dream Forest with a radius of nearly three hundred miles from all sides.
The Elven Queen, the Dwarves, the Star-Moon Guardian, and Arthur each followed an army of elves that advanced into the depths of the Forest of Dreams from all sides at once.
Because of the special environment of the Dream Forest, the elven army must first clean up the accompanying Celestial Star Mushrooms under the Celestial Star Wood Tree when advancing into the depths. These things are capable of emitting strong hallucinogenic toxins, and if the Celestial Star Mushrooms are not cleaned of the marching path, the entire army will be lost in the forest.
As a result, the elven army did not advance into the depths quickly.
After a kilometer into the forest, the corpses of elves began to appear sporadically in the forest. Some of the elves have not been dead for a long time, and their appearance is still relatively intact, and they are all skinny and bone, but they have a satisfied smile on their faces.
Having had the last experience, Arthur knew that these elves were all suicidal, immersed in happiness and starved to death physically.
As the army marched, there was another task to collect the corpses, which, according to elven tradition, were to be returned to the arms of the elven mother tree.
Except for the elves who committed suicide, the elven army never encountered any accidents. The Forest of Dreams is not suitable for other animals and plants except for the Star Mushroom, and those beautiful Star Trees will make people feel bored after looking at them for a long time, and after a long time, Arthur and they will start to get bored with the slow progress and search process.
In the afternoon, as the elven army slowly advanced, Arthur, Joan, and Arya simply stayed where they were because of the rich magical elements of the forest and began to practice magic.
When night fell, the army had advanced seven or eight kilometers deeper, and the elven army began to withdraw from the forest in an orderly manner.
Because the night is the time when the hallucinogenic toxins of the Star Mushroom are the strongest, the elven army only clears the Star Mushroom on the way to travel and search, and at night the entire forest will be filled with hallucinogenic toxins, and the entire army will be trapped in it.
When Sino beckoned Arthur and Joan to retreat, the two were not in a hurry, and Arya unleashed a "purification" spell that would keep the hallucinogenic toxins in the air from approaching for a long time.
So, when all the elven warriors withdrew, only Arthur, Joan, and Arya were left in the Forest of Dreams.
Arthur and Arya have retired from magic cultivation one after another, but Joan is still practicing penance, and the rich wood elements in the forest have a huge gain on the cultivation of fire magic, so Joan especially cherishes the opportunity to practice here.
With a soft red and blue moon in the sky, and clusters of starry mushrooms in the distance, the Dream Forest at night is exceptionally quiet and beautiful. Arya leaned against Arthur's side, rested her head on his shoulder, and said nothing, quietly not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long period of darkness, Arya cherishes her current state, where she can see the colorful world and have a place to lean on to feel at ease.
Arthur is also trying to empty himself, not thinking about the responsibility on his shoulders for the time being, not thinking about the spirit feather who is far away in the temple, not thinking about the future results with Arya, and only enjoying the feeling of snuggling with the person he likes.
In this dreamy forest, the young lover enjoyed only a moment of tranquility and snuggling before being shattered by a sudden danger.
There was a slight sound of rustling, and the short black figures in the forest were rapidly rushing towards the periphery.
"Dark elves, how did they get to the ground?" Arthur recognized the creatures at a glance, and the dark elves who pounced on them quickly shuttled between the stars and trees, densely packed with I don't know how many?
"Run!" Arthur took Arya with one hand and pulled Joan, who was still immersed in cultivation, and turned around and ran, Arthur had seen the speed and ferocity of these dark elves in the underground world, and if he was surrounded by them, he would never end well.
As soon as Arthur ran, he was immediately discovered by the dark elves, and immediately many elves surrounded the three of them.
Joan, who was suddenly interrupted from her cultivation, almost went mad, and was completely unable to mobilize her magic power smoothly for a while, almost being caught by Arthur and running, her speed slowed down in a flash, and she was chased behind by the dark elves after a few hundred meters.
"I'll stop them for a moment, you two run first!" Arthur handed Joan to Arya, turned to meet the dark elves chasing after him.
Arya hesitated for a moment and pulled Joan on, knowing that she couldn't help Arthur if she stayed.
The Starfall Greatsword is not easy to swing in the forest, and Arthur directly replaced it with the "Wolf's Kiss Blue" short knife to face the dark elves, which was Arthur's first life-and-death battle after entering the sixth level of the battle captain.
Although Arthur's fighting spirit is only level six, his real combat power is even above the average seventh- or eighth-level battle school, and against these low-level dark elves, it is almost a knife, and in the blink of an eye, there is a corpse in front of him.
Arthur's arrogant performance attracted more and more Dark Elf warriors to surround him, and there were even many high-level Dark Elves whose speed was not below Arthur at all. After the high-level warriors joined, the dark elves no longer blindly surrounded and killed, and many dark elves began to move away from the arrow to sneak attack.
Arthur immediately fell into trouble, and at this time he couldn't rush out anymore, and he had to defend against the enemy's dark arrows while fighting high-level dark elf warriors in close combat.
Arthur must use "Shadow Stealth" and "Gliding" to keep himself moving at high speeds, only in order to prevent being plotted and surrounded from all sides. Even so, a few more wounds on Arthur's body a moment later, his body became bloody, and there were five or six high-level dark elves who died under his sword.
More and more Dark Elf warriors pounced, and no matter what the cost, they would never let this Terran go.
Arthur suddenly roared, the fighting spirit on his body soared again, and the short knife in his hand stabbed out quickly, and the golden-red sword qi of light and darkness flew out in all directions, and the dark elves who were close immediately fell down in large pieces.
After Arthur entered the sixth level, his newly learned fighting skill "Light and Shadow Spike" was suitable for this kind of large-scale chaotic battle.
It's just that as soon as the dark elf in front of him fell, a new elf warrior immediately came up to fill the place. Arthur couldn't help but show a wry smile, it seemed that he was still too far from the realm of a warlord who killed thousands of people with a sword of Shino.
And Shino's voice sounded above his head at this moment, "Boy, it's a good progress, do you want to kill a little longer?" Or will I save you now?"
Arthur suddenly surged with pride, "You just watch from above, if you can't even kill these dark elves in front of you, how can you kill the Light Sanctuary and the Orc Sanctuary in the future!"
