Chapter 2439: Elven Village
Looking at the turbid water, Bai Chen thought that he was deep in the ocean.
But looking at the surrounding trees, Bai Chen was sure that he was in the woods.
Only the top of the tree is exposed to the water, and only the giant tree that Bai Chen is in can completely show the water.
Bai Chen was very sure that this was not the environment that was originally here, because the water below was very turbid and very fluid.
If the forest is already submerged in water, then they will be more in line with the characteristics of aquatic plants.
Bai Chen remembered that the woman had said that the day she saved herself, it was a rainstorm.
It seems that the water level has risen due to this heavy rain, although the water level has risen and the water flow is turbulent, but a few large trees nearby are still very conspicuous, and there are few human figures on them.
It was dark and gloomy, and the storm should have just passed.
The terrain environment surrounded by mountains leads to water accumulation in the event of a storm.
Bai Chen couldn't go out in such an environment, but the water level dropped quickly.
By the end of the day, the water had largely receded, leaving nothing but mud and dirt on the ground.
The woman and Madoka came to visit Bai Chen again as promised, and still brought a basket of fruits, including the violet fruit that Madoka promised.
Bai Chen was already very sure that the elven race in front of him was indeed the same species as the elves he knew, and their evolutionary process seemed to be almost the same, they were all full of gratitude and awe for nature, and they only ate vegetarian food and did not eat meat.
Of course, they don't exclude others from eating, at least they don't have a spiritual habit of cleanliness, thinking that others eating meat and souls are dirty and filthy.
After a few days of contact, Bai Chen probably understood that this woman's name was Ai Xi.
It is said that the name Ai Xi was found in the ancient Elf language, but Ai Xi himself did not understand the meaning of this name, but Bai Chen knew a little about the Elf language, so he knew the true meaning of this name - the echo of the end of the world.
Obviously, this name was indeed chosen by her randomly, probably the name she saw in some text, or her father's generation.
If they knew what the name meant, they would never give it to their children.
This is the only elven village in the world, but the number is very rare.
Bai Chen was sure that the elves in the elf village were definitely not the natives of this world.
They are vague about their beliefs and history, and according to the elders of the clan, their people have settled here for tens of thousands of years, and it is said that when they settled here, they suffered a catastrophe that caused them to hide here.
Of course, the elves are not completely isolated from the outside world, and the elves are still connected to the outside world.
Bai Chen was very interested in how their ancestors came here, and asked about their history from time to time.
Of course, the information that Bai Chen inquired about was not a secret, and the truth needed to be hidden.
Now the elves in the elven village have completely lost their ancient script, and they are also using the lingua franca and script of this world.
There are still some ancient texts in the village, but no one understands them.
However, in the subsequent temptation, Bai Chen found a problem.
When he was in a coma, the wound on his chest was not cured by Ai Xi, nor was it cured by any elf in the elf village, but Bai Chen healed himself.
This made Bai Chen very confused, could it be that his self-healing power was still there?
This is impossible, if you use your previous self-healing power, even if someone else slashes a sword on your neck, you can heal instantly, of course...... The premise is that someone can cut off Bai Chen's head, and a sword that is sharp enough.
Bai Chen vaguely remembered that he had fallen into a trap, and after the battle, he was also seriously injured, but when he woke up, his injuries had almost healed, and he came to this Far East region inexplicably.
If it was a normal drifting, it would take almost a few years, and he wouldn't be able to drift at all, but Bai Chen didn't believe that he had really drifted for a few years.
And if you have been drifting for a few years, why didn't you die? Not to mention drowning, the bubble will also be soaked.
Of course, if you want to figure out the reason, there is another way, that is, to stab yourself with another sword, and then wait to see if it heals itself.
It may also be possible that only after you are unconscious, the ability to heal yourself will appear, or you will die quietly.
The population of the elf village is very small, only more than a hundred households, and the elves of the old, young and adult adults combined have a population of less than three hundred.
Regarding this, Bai Chen was not unusual at all.
With the lifespan of elves, as well as their fertility, even if it takes tens of thousands of years, it is already good to be able to have the current scale.
There are only a few young elves in the entire elf village, and Madoka is the smallest one.
Bai Chen is considered a big child in the village, and the elves in the elf village are not as arrogant as the elves that Bai Chen once met, although they inherited the appearance and genes of their ancestors, but they did not inherit everything, they lost their inheritance, and they are now just a very, very weak race.
They also tried to connect with the outside world, and they tried to grow like other races, but they all failed.
In the final analysis, it is their ethnic population, and under such a population base, it is extremely difficult to appear a guardian demigod, and the probability is too small.
Therefore, the elves rarely go out, and the outside world knows very little about the elves, and even the elves themselves feel that the races in the outside world may have forgotten them.
Bai Chen remembered that the elven clan had a high talent for natural magic and bows.
But the magic has been lost, and the bow and arrow are still alive.
But because there was no chance of fighting, the bow and arrow were almost an ornament.
"Stone, how is your body?"
"I'm almost done, and if you want to drive me away at this time, I think I should be able to leave. Bai Chen said with a smile.
"It's no problem how long you want to stay here. Ai Xi said with a smile.
In fact, Bai Chen could feel that whether it was Ai Xi or other adult elves, they all had a certain degree of vigilance against Bai Chen, an outsider.
Only a child like Madoka can play with Bai Chen.
"The village chief wants to see you. Ai Xi said.
"Oh...... That old man wants to drive me away?"
Ai Xi rolled his eyes and Bai Chen: "In your eyes, are we elves so indifferent?"
Bai Chen scratched his cheeks with a smile, Bai Chen really didn't have much of a good impression of natural elves, at least the elves he had encountered.
The village chief of the elf clan, the elder Huo Shan, his name basically no longer has the tradition of the elf clan, and there are not a few elves like him whose name has lost its tradition.
"Stone, sit. "Huoshan's home is not a tree house, so it was once flooded, and now there are traces of mud around the wooden house.
Bai Chen sat cross-legged on the chair at the root of the tree, and while Huo Shan was looking at Bai Chen, Bai Chen was also looking at Huo Shan.
"Stone, you're from the Ten Kingdoms, right?"
"yes, I'm human. ”
"I've heard Ai Xi say that you said that in the countries of the Ten Directions, there is also a branch of elves, is that true?"
"Yes. ”
"And you've been in contact with them?"
"I don't know them well...... It's not even a friend, but I just know that they exist, and I don't know much about it. ”
"Could it be that there really are other elven branches in the world?" Huo Shan couldn't help but think deeply.
"Village Chief, do you want to find that branch of the same clan?"
Huo Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if I send people to the Ten Directions Kingdoms, this journey is so long, even if everything goes well, it will take twenty years to find them, I'm curious, your age ...... If you've really seen the elves, even if you've met them when you were born, there's not enough time to get here as fast as possible, right?"
Huo Shan was a little skeptical of Bai Chen's words, but he didn't completely veto it.
"Of course, it is impossible for me to come here from the ten kingdoms by my feet, but I have been banished here. Bai Chen casually said, "It was thrown here by a god." ”
"Gods, you were banished by the gods?"
"yes. Bai Chen said helplessly.
"What the hell have you done that you will offend the gods. ”
"Let's not go into detail about this, it's not good for me or you to say too much. ”
"Okay. Huo Shan nodded: "Stone, have you found the location of the elven branch?"
Huo Shan seemed to want to find that branch of the same clan, but he hesitated a little, and his face was full of contradictions.
"Village chief, even if you want to find them, I'm afraid I won't be able to help. Bai Chen said helplessly.
"Why?"
"Because I am lost in the mountains of 100,000...... The 100,000 Mountains are a very vast mountain range of the Ten Kingdoms, and they live in seclusion there, and I can't be sure of the exact location of their race. ”
Hearing Bai Chen's words, Huo Shan couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
"Village Chief, what do you want to do with them?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
Huo Shan wanted to speak and stopped, but at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a young elf rushed in.
"Village Chief, the Wild Tribes of the Dry Plains have come to harass us again. ”
Huo Shan stood up suddenly, his face gloomy and solemn: "Damn, this group of damn disgusting and ugly rotten meat." ”
Huo Shan didn't care to greet Bai Chen, took down the longbow and quiver on the wall, put it on his body and hurried out.
Bai Chen also followed behind to see what the situation was.
After walking a few steps, there was a sound of fighting in front of me, and I saw rows of elves, forming a neat team, all of them shooting at the wild people and lynxes who rushed in front of them.
Their killing efficiency is very high, whether it is the Dry Plains Savages or their pet lynx, they are difficult to move forward.
At this moment, Bai Chen found that Ai Xi was actually a little panicked and wandering around the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
