Chapter 178: Elves

The elves are a strange race, even more widespread than the carbon-based life forms of humanoids. At least among the civilizations that humans have come into contact with, many civilizations have records of the existence of intelligent beings such as elves, and there are many such records in the database of the Galactic Alliance, and even when the entire Galactic Alliance left, there was an elf race in the fleet that had developed to a fifth-level civilization. In addition, the little dryad who started a fruit delivery business in the entire fleet is also a kind of elven race. Therefore, Chen Peilin was only taken aback when he saw the elf in front of him.

However, the elf in front of him is not very friendly to the "iron giants" around him. Also, anyone who is caught can't be kind to his captors. I kept struggling and kept shouting something, and although I couldn't understand it for the time being, I could think of words that weren't compliments with my toes. Even the elf tried to open its teeth and bite the mech that held her tightly in her hand, but when it hit the teeth, the idea of biting the enemy and waiting for an opportunity to escape had to be abandoned.

"Bring her in, we just don't have a native creature to guide us, I think this elf is good, at least she knows more about the things in this forest than we do, otherwise she wouldn't have discovered us so quickly." By the way, how's the language parsing? Chen Peilin asked.

"The progress is not bad, I am collecting the vocabulary of this elf, and it will be fine soon," Li Feng reported.

"Well, to be honest, I'm still curious about a race like elves. If you say it's a plant, it can reproduce like an animal, and if you say it's an animal, its mother body actually grows out of a tree, it's a strange creature. It's a pity that the tree elves in the ecological garden can't speak, and they know every day that they take care of the orchard stupidly and then exchange the fruits for candy, and there is nothing else to pursue, and their intelligence is not high, so they can't get useful information at all," Chen Peilin said regretfully.

The tree elf who was abducted by Chen Peilin was busy in the ecological park every day except for occasionally walking around Chen Peilin's house twice and looking around, which made Chen Peilin's idea of adopting a tree elf as a pet far away, and he is still full of resentment.

"Ding Dong!" The door of the barracks slowly slid open to both sides, and two guards escorted the dazed elf into the brisk walk, and after letting the elf go, he retreated to the door to act as a door god. However, looking at the appearance of them in alloy armor, they really look like the door gods.

Crescent Moon looked cautiously at the human in front of her, as if she had quite a position among this group of metal monsters. I've seen a lot of people myself, but it's the first time I've seen myself dressed like this. But it's much easier to meet familiar creatures, and I guess the human in front of me can help me. Up to now, poor Crescent Moon had not yet recognized the cruel fact that the human in front of her and the group of metal monsters were the same race.

Crescent Moon is an elf that lives in a huge community of elves deep in this forest. Different from other fantasy novels, in fact, the elves are also closely connected with the outside world, after all, if you want to survive, you need resources from the outside world, and many things are lacking in the elf tribe, such as the most basic daily necessities, salt.

Yesterday, the crescent moon rushed back from the small town of Ekle in the northwest of the forest, but I heard that on the grassland next to the Dark Night Forest, the nearby orcs and the Caesar Empire were at war, so they avoided the grassland far away and made a big circle to rush back. In fact, the entire continent has been full of gunsmoke recently, and even the elven community where he is located is silently preparing.

There is no way, the new era is about to begin, and with the advent of the Soul Eater, all the forces on the entire road will face a major reshuffle. This has happened and many times, every time, without exception. However, the old forces were not willing to let themselves decline like this, and launched annexation wars to expand their strength in order to deal with the coming Soul Eater catastrophe. There are several such successful examples in every era, the most famous being Zhongjin City and Guangming Castle.

But just as he was about to enter the Dark Night Forest, a huge fireball appeared in the sky and smashed straight towards the Dark Night Forest. This scared Crescent Moon out of the way, knowing that her entire colony was in the Night Forest, what if a fireball hit the colony. However, after observing for a while, the crescent moon noticed that the fireball was actually slowing down, and then landed steadily in the forest. With great curiosity, Crescent Crescent leaned over cautiously, wanting to see what it was for, and if it was a new trick for the Soul Eater, she had to quickly tell the elders of the group that she had to plan ahead.

However, before the crescent moon approached, a large group of demonic beasts rushed out like a desperate escape, and many of the demonic beasts actually had fatal wounds on their bodies, which frightened the crescent moon, and quickly sat on the back of a demonic beast and fled quickly. It wasn't until late at night that the crescent moon cautiously approached to find out what was going on there. I managed to get there before the sun came out, but before I could make a closer look, I was discovered, and I was caught here. The deep fear of those huge metal people Crescent Moon was terrifying, and it was hard to imagine anything that could hurt them, even the legendary dragons could not hurt these metal monsters in the slightest.

Fortunately, I have seen humans now, because the relationship between humans and elves is not bad, which makes Yueya Er feel that things have taken a turn for the better, and all her hopes for turning the corner are pinned on the human in front of her.

"We are from another continent, there is no malice, we just want to know something from you" Chen Peilin's voice brought the crescent moon back from her reverie, and constantly examined Chen Peilin, as if to determine whether Chen Peilin was lying.

"Did you really come from another continent? Didn't it mean that the Ancient Teleportation Array had all collapsed two hundred epochs ago? Crescent Moon questioned.

"Ancient Teleportation Array? What is it? It looks like I've found something amazing," Chen Peilin was surprised in his heart. However, I still explained that I came here through other means, and it is inconvenient to disclose the specific way. However, this answer could not relieve Yue'er's doubts, and she was still vigilant against Chen Peilin and the metal monsters around her.

"If I answer your questions, are you really waiting to convince those things to let me go?" Crescent Moon chose to ignore the question of where they came from, and asked Chen Peilin instead.

"Of course, I'm their elder," Chen Peilin casually made up an identity that a crescent moon could understand, and said to the elf in front of him.

"Okay, you ask, but you must let me go" Crescent Moon was still not at ease. I really don't know why this elf trusts others so easily, and I don't know if there are many elves on this continent who have been trafficked.

When the crescent moon left, Chen Peilin gathered in the barracks with a solemn expression to digest the information he had obtained. New Era, Soul Eater, Ancient Teleportation Array, Zhongjin City, Bright Castle, and the world of all races, this is really a colorful world, just from the mouth of an elf to get so much, you can imagine how lively this continent is.

"Can't you really say anything about this continent now?" Chen Peilin looked at Natalie and Nina and asked.

"No, you have to go into that place. This is a special world, and it was built with a great purpose, and the results may surprise you. But it won't be long before something big happens, and maybe you'll be able to pick up a clue from it," Natalie said apologetically.

"Look where that elf is," Chen Peilin commanded at the personal terminal, abandoning the question.

The holographic projection turned on, and the agile figure of the crescent moon shuttled quickly through the forest, sometimes crawling nimbly on the treetops, sometimes going around a large circle in the opposite direction, but it could be seen that a large part of the distance she had traveled was in circles.

"What a clever little girl, it's a pity, there are some things she can't understand at all," Chen Peilin said with interest holding her chin.

"They're at least five hundred years old this year," Nina teased.

"Aha!" Chen Peilin scratched his head in embarrassment.

The crescent moon circled the forest for two days, and only after making sure that she was not being followed did she burrow into the dense forest, and the originally dense vines in front of her quickly moved to both sides, revealing a narrow passage, which closed automatically after the crescent moon walked through it.

After walking for nearly two hours, a large community appeared in front of Chen Peilin's eyes, thousands of elves were busy in it, in the middle, a low tree with a diameter of hundreds of meters was growing strongly, with many huge fruits hanging on it, Chen Peilin even saw a fruit split in half, and an elf covered in green slime came out of it.

"President, the specific location of this community has been detected, do you need us to attack?" Cheng Aiguo, the head of the regiment, sent a message asking for instructions.

"No, everything that should be known is now known, let's hurry to the destination, there are still many things waiting for us outside. Remember the location of this elven community first, and bring it back to the fleet when you leave, it will definitely be useful. But now that there are big battles everywhere on the mainland, so many of us are out together, and people still think that we are going to attack the city, which is really troublesome," Chen Peilin said with a headache.

In a strange star field, the wreckage of countless warships rolled in the starry sky. From the larger wreckage, it can also be seen that the ownership of these warships in front of them belonged to the slave catchers, some belonged to the regular army of the Glorious Empire, and some belonged to the plant warships of the human fleet and a small number of seventh-level frigates.

"Report to the general, the battlefield has been cleared, all the enemies have been destroyed, but no useful information has been found, and the enemy's mothership has fled in random jumps," the captain of the reconnaissance ship sent a communication report.

"Have the slave catchers been wiped out?" Cowell asked. This is a sensitive issue, and if the royal fleet is discovered directly against the armed forces of the nobles, there will be a fierce political conflict, and even the emperor will not be able to protect him at that time.

"Yes, all the slave hunters in the vicinity have been wiped out within fifty light years, and no news has been heard," the captain replied.

"Very good, we have found the enemy's main fleet, inform it, the scattered fleet will all return, catch up, and we must not let them escape again......"
