This is a male elf, his age is not easy to estimate, his thin body is also covered with scars, his clothes that are about to become strips of cloth are stained with dried blood, there are several blood holes in his right abdomen and calf, but the blood has stopped, and there are more than a dozen hideous whiplash marks on his back and arms.

These should have been injured by the automatically activated defensive magic array, or caused by them on the way back from being escorted back by the defense team, of course, Tang Yi could not blame Lu Renjia for this.

Seeing that the elf had reacted and looked up at himself, Tang Yi spoke again, using basic elven language: "If you need treatment, I can provide it for you." ”

The elf grinned, as if he wanted to taunt twice, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he twitched twice in severe pain, and finally only showed a very ugly expression.

"Hypocritical devil, don't try to buy me, it's useless." The elf's voice was hoarse.

Tang Yi shook his head: "Buying you?" No, no, no, since you chose to invade our world, you have to bear the consequences of failure, you are just a captive, I am only here to talk to you casually today. ”

The elf closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Your body looks weak, it's not our defensive magic, what caused you to be the way you are?"

The elves were silent.

Tang Yi was not surprised, and asked to himself: "The plants in the northern jungle have an unusual withering and growth rate, let me guess, your elven race has the power of nature, so what is the problem in your tribe that causes the power of nature to be disordered?" ”

The elf snorted, still ignoring it.

Tang Yi grinned, this guy is quite cold.

It doesn't matter, Tang Yi continued to talk to himself: "We don't understand the power of nature, at least in terms of the power of nature, we are far less proficient than you and your people, so this can't be caused by us, that is the result of your own death, hmm, let me continue to guess, it has something to do with that ruin, the ruins of the Star Spirit Clan." ”

The elf opened his eyes slightly, and cast a cold look.

Well, it's finally a bit of a reaction.

Tang Yi, who was holding the magic light, always looked at the other party's expression, and it seemed that the direction he guessed should be right, so he continued to boldly half-assume and half-flickering: "Tsk, you are really bold enough, even the ruins of the Star Spirit Clan dare to touch casually, are you really not afraid of the curse that will befall your entire clan?" ”

The elf Huo Ran raised his head and glared angrily.

Anger can be regarded as a reaction, the vague clues in Tang Yi's mind are gradually becoming clearer, and the basis for judgment is the change in the expression of this elf.

But Tang Yi was still very surprised, the curse was just something he said casually, because Lu Renjia mentioned the curse to him at that time, Tang Yi didn't take it seriously, after all, in addition to other natives who entered the ruins, there were also Ouyang He and others.

In the end, Ouyang He and the others all returned safely, and as for the other natives who did not come out, there was a high probability that they would be wiped out, rather than dying from the so-called curse.

But now it seems that it is not as simple as he thinks.

Tang Yi finally understood why, after the dragon crossing incident, knowing that this elven clan branch was not at ease, he still did not choose to take the initiative to attack, but adopted the most conservative blockade measures.

Maybe Dawning City already knew something in advance, even if they didn't do anything, these elves would just wait for death, and there was no need to attack them at all.

Everything seems to make sense now.

"I'm curious, how many people in your clan are still alive now? It doesn't matter if you adult elves die, it's a pity, even your children have to die of such a miserable curse, this can be regarded as a complete extermination of the race, is this the punishment for your betrayal of the elves back then? Sure enough, the betrayers are not good to die. ”

Tang Yi said word by word in a casual tone, each sentence was like sprinkling a handful of salt on his wound, and his already thin face became even more ugly.

“！ @#&*¥" The elf suddenly roared in rage.

But Tang Yi didn't understand, this sentence was very similar to Elf language, but it was not exactly like it, just like the dragon language was also subdivided into several different regional dragon languages, he estimated that this elf should speak some kind of elf dialect.

However, according to the current context, Tang Yi can guess the meaning of this sentence, it should be greeting his ancestors.

Tang Yi didn't care about spreading his hands at all, and patiently persuaded: "Calm down, the elves in my impression are all gentle and elegant, if it is useful to scold people, there will be no war in this world, well, don't look at me with this kind of eyes, your eyes can't kill people." ”

The elf glared at him angrily, and after a long time, he turned his head again, coughed heavily, and said hoarsely and lowly, "Are you here to laugh at me?" ”

Tang Yi pondered: "Maybe we can consider making a deal." ”

"What deal?"

Tang Yi didn't answer directly: "I almost forgot to introduce myself, I am the newly appointed captain of the defense team in Yebian Town, responsible for all defense affairs here, including patrolling and guarding the jungle border area." ”

The elf was surprised, "You want to let us go?" ”

Tang Yi said in an even more surprised tone: "Let you go?" No, it can't be, when you decide to invade our world, you should think of the punishment of failure, but think about it, it is actually only a few of us who have brought disaster to you by opening the ruins, they are the betrayers among us, and they are ready to say that we actually have a common enemy, don't you want those people to pay a price? ”

"Salvation, redemption, will." The elf suddenly changed his mouth and said with difficulty in Chinese, some gritting his teeth.

Tang Yi praised: "Chinese is really good, yes, the things raised by those bitches of the Redemption Society are the culprits, and they are the ones who caused you to become what you are now, not us!" ”

The elf sneered: "You are the same as the Salvation Society, you are all demons!" ”

Tang Yi leaned his face closer and stared at the elf for a long time, the indifference on the elf's face was mixed with a trace of hesitation, and he suddenly chuckled: "I don't think you are qualified to say such things, you have abandoned the glory and tradition of the elf race, and tried in vain to obtain the power of the ancient evil gods, you are people who want to cooperate with demons, and even want to obtain demonic power!" ”

The elf's face changed suddenly: "How much do you know!" ”

"Much more than you think!"

The elf was silent again.

Tang Yi also stopped talking, and waited patiently in silence, he knew that it was not himself who should really be anxious, but the elf in front of him.

Ten minutes later, the elf suddenly spoke again in a hoarse voice: "If, if we can make a deal, let us go ......"

"Impossible!" Tang Yi flatly refused.

"No, it's not us, it's me who didn't make it clear." The elf took a deep breath and said in Chinese: "It's our children, there are still a few young children in our clan, they have never entered the ruins, so they have not been infected by the curse, even if the rest of us leave, in fact, I am afraid that we will not live for too long, but they are still children, they are the last hope of our clan, so please, I beg you, let these children go!" ”

The elf changed his coldness and anger just now, and pleaded in an extremely earnest tone, because the speed of his speech was too fast, which even caused him to cough violently again, and he was still reluctantly saying while coughing: "Whether it is cooperating with the Redemption Society or planning to invade your dimension, it is the plan of our adults, and it has nothing to do with children, it is our last bloodline, we can fend for ourselves and bear the punishment we deserve, but please have some mercy on the children." ”

After speaking, blood had already overflowed from the elf's mouth, and under the direct light of the magic light, Tang Yi found that there was an ominous black oozing in the blood.

This elf is indeed a candle in the wind, but after listening to his words, Tang Yi's first thought is that these elves are indeed much smarter than the local human natives, including the half-elf who sneaked up on him last time, these people speak Chinese fluently, the meaning of the words is accurate, and it doesn't sound so awkward.

As for the elf's plea, Tang Yi had a moment of hesitation and sympathy in his heart, but he was no longer the one who had just come into contact with this game, in the dragon crossing incident, Tang Yi had been exposed to too many so-called truths, and he didn't know what was really trustworthy now.

Tang Yi said slowly: "As the captain of Yebian Town, I do have the authority to do this, but I also have to take a big risk, why should I help you?" ”

The elf smiled slightly, as long as Tang Yi negotiated the conditions with him, he seemed to immediately become confident: "Since you know that ruin, know the curse in the ruins, and come to me alone in the middle of the night, I think your purpose is not difficult to guess, connect the traces of space in the void, you also want this artifact, right." ”

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows and said quietly: "Traces of emptiness, sure enough, you also know this thing." ”

The elf sneered twice, and resumed his original mocking tone again: "Yes, your people call that thing the Void Trace, hahaha, human nature is really the same, even if you cross dimensions, you also have greed that can never be filled, you ugly demons." ”

"If you talk more nonsense, I'll leave immediately." Tang Yi pretended to be angry, and got up to leave.

"Wait, wait, cough, cough." The elf was anxious, and hurriedly raised his voice to call out to Tang Yi, but here he pulled his wound and coughed up a large pool of blackened blood.

Tang Yi stopped, but didn't return, just turned his head sideways and asked impatiently: "Don't talk any more futile nonsense, you just need to tell me, do you know where the Void Trace is?" ”

"No, don't talk about that." The elf honestly agreed, with an expression on his face that he wanted to eat you, but this time the expression was even more subtle: "The Void Scar is a space artifact of the Star Spirit Clan, many of you want it, but since the ruins were opened, the whereabouts of the Void Scar are unknown, as long as you help rescue our child, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Empty Scar!" ”

Tang Yi was silent, trying to tell the truth from the expression on the elf's face, but the latter stared at him without hesitation.

After a while, Tang Yi looked away: "Yes, as you wish, you can exchange the whereabouts of the Void Scar for the whereabouts of the last few children of your clan, but before that, I need to know everything about your clan, and it is not appropriate for you to continue to stay here, I will find a way to transfer you to another place." ”

The elf opened its mouth to say something.

But Tang Yi had already turned around and left: "From now on, before you are completely dead, you must completely obey me, if I find out that you have the slightest concealment, just wait for the destruction of the clan!" ”

The members of the Redemption Society who captured him that night, including Ouyang He, were all dead, and even the ashes were not left in the explosion of the Dragon Meteor.

Who else in this world knows that the mark of emptiness is on him?

Leaving the underground prison, Tang Yi, walking in the moonlight, had a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

That elf dared to use the Empty Trace as a bargaining chip to trade with him, obviously he must not know that the Empty Trace was actually with him, so it was okay, using this false but extremely heavy bargaining chip, at least the elf could feel that he had to agree to the deal because of this, and then he could get the information he needed from his mouth.

And Tang Yi agreed, and the other reason came from the worry in his heart.

If that elf really had some way of tracking the whereabouts of the Void Scar, then he must not be allowed to live for too long, at least not alive to be handed over to Mayor Chen and into the hands of the management of Dawning City!

However, that will have to wait until you get the information you want.

The night is getting darker.

Yebian Town, which lacks lighting facilities, is already dark everywhere, and the natives have locked themselves in their homes early, so that the dark and windy night is also in line with Tang Yi's wishes.

Later that day, a fire suddenly broke out near the outpost, because no one was watching, the fire quickly spread to the nearby underground prison, and because the prison was in disrepair, it was full of flammable wooden cages, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and when Tang Yi, who was the captain, arrived, the prison was already a sea of fire.

Lu Renjia, who came later, hurriedly mobilized and organized the nearby indigenous people in Tang Yi's angry roar, and worked back and forth for most of the night before the fire was completely extinguished.

At dawn, Tang Yi, who was angry, asked the anxious Lu Renjia to gather all the indigenous guards in the defense station, regardless of the fact that the others had not slept well all night, and after loudly reprimanding him, he threatened to drive everyone out of the defense team and go back to farming next time.

In the end, Tang Yi also asked all the indigenous guards to write an inspection report with no less than 800 words, and to deeply self-examine the fire caused by negligence, and hand it over to himself after three days, and whoever did not pay it would also have to go home and farm.

The surrounding indigenous people who participated in the firefighting were silent in Tang Yi's anger, and no one dared to speak, until Tang Yi turned around and went home angrily, and then they scattered and left.
