Chapter 137: Into the Pit

The male elf who was holding Xu Yi just now raised the bow and arrow in his hand and pointed at Xu Yi, and shouted coldly: "Human, immediately apologize for your disrespect, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The surrounding elves were also uncertain, staring at Xu Yi coldly.

Yanis was taken aback, and hurriedly approached Xu Yi's side, and said in a low voice, "President Xu, you...... How can you say such a thing to an elder?"

Xu Yi smiled at her: "Don't worry, the elder won't be angry, because I'm telling the truth." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Elder Elucia, and sure enough, they didn't see any unpleasant look on her face, but instead seemed to be very happy because of Xu Yi's words, and smiled: "Human, I just said that unnecessary compliments are meaningless to me. Although I don't look older than you from the outside, I'm actually over three hundred years old, old enough to be your great-grandmother. Do you think it makes sense to praise me?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "No, I think you misunderstood, Elder. While it is true that your beauty and temperament impress me, the most important value for me is your wisdom and knowledge. If I could learn something from you, I would think it would be a great deal. What's more, the elves also contain a value that you may not have discovered yourself, such as her ......" Xu also pointed to Yanis.

A group of elves looked at Annis in amazement, and Annis pointed at herself blankly, looking overwhelmed.

"Hear Annis say that you once wanted to ask for her as your reward for helping our clan this time?" As soon as Elder Elucia said this, Xu Yi, Steele, and Vivien suddenly felt that the temperature around them dropped a lot, and the elves around them all exuded a murderous aura. "Humans. I would like to solemnly warn you. In the past, you humans have taken many elves as slaves, and we elves hate this kind of thing. If you wish to make such a request, I advise you to leave here immediately. Even if our tribe disappears from this world because of difficulties. I will never grant you such a request. ”

Looking at the hostile eyes of the elves around him, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and was about to open his mouth, but Yanis waved her hand again and again: "Elder, you misunderstood. President Xu didn't let me be his slave, he just ...... He just wanted me to work for him. ”

"Work?" Elder Elucia looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "What can Yanise do for you? She's a kid. ”

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Dear Elder Elucia, as I said just now, Yanis contains a value that you haven't found yet. Let me give you an example, during the more than half a month that Yanis was by my side, she helped me complete part of the exterior design work for a new product launched by our chamber of commerce. And this new product has been sold for half a month now. But it has already earned more than 100,000 gold coins for our Chamber of Commerce. ”

"One hundred thousand gold coins?" Not only did the surrounding elves exclaim in unison, but even Elder Elucia couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and asked in surprise, "You mean, Yanis helped your Chamber of Commerce earn 100,000 gold coins?"

"Not really. Xu Yi shook his head. "This new product is the result of the hard work of many people, and it is not just the work of Yanis alone. But in my personal opinion, Annis plays the biggest role. If you divide the 100,000 gold coins, the value generated by Yanis is at least more than 20,000 gold coins. ”

Hearing that Xu Yi had such a high opinion of herself, Yanis couldn't help but show a hint of joy and looked at Xu Yi with a smile.

"Twenty thousand gold coins......" Elder Elucia nodded lightly, "Human." While I don't like the way you measure value directly in gold, I admit it's easy to understand. But even if Yanis has a lot of value in her, I won't agree to give her to you. You humans are very unkind to us elves, and I don't think Annis will be able to live safely in your human world. ”

Seeing the serious expression on Elder Elucia's face. Xu Yi could only lament in his heart.

The gap between the elves and humans is too deep, and the prejudice against humans is too deep, and they want to reverse the perception of humans by these stubborn elves in a short period of time. It's simply impossible.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi gave up the topic. He smiled again, pointed to the box that was carried by another male elf, and said, "Okay." Elder Elucia, it's boring to talk about compensation until we finish our work, so let's see how we can help you. ”

Elder Elucia smiled and nodded, "It seems that you are a human who doesn't like to talk empty words, and I like it very much. Come with me. ”

Elder Elucia led the way, and the group entered the gap between the two giant trees, and after a few steps, they saw a large pit suddenly appear in a small clearing in front of them.

"We tried to get groundwater, but when we dug to a depth of more than 10 meters, we came across very thick rock formations. The rock was too hard for me to shake it, so I had to give up. Elder Elucia pointed to the Great Tunnel.

Xu Yi approached the edge of the pit and looked down, and found that even with the bright fluorescence above his head, he couldn't see what the bottom of the pit looked like at all.

"Elder Elucia, is there a rope long enough? I'd like to go down and see what happens. Xu Yidao.

Steele, who was on the side, suddenly tugged at Xu Yi's sleeve and shook his head lightly at him.

Seeing her worried expression, Xu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, with so many noble elves by my side, I won't have an accident." ”

Elder Elucia smiled slightly: "Humans, there is no need to persecute us with words, we elves have our own principles. With that, he explained to a male elf, who hurried away, and in a few moments brought a long roll of rattan.

Xu Yi took one end of the rattan and pulled it hard, and found that this rattan was extremely tough, but he was afraid that it was stronger than a nylon rope of the same thickness.

Tie one end around his waist, and Xu Yi prepared to dive into the pit to see what was going on.

Seeing that Xu Yi was about to climb down, Yanis suddenly rushed out.

"Elder, let me go down with him, if something happens, I can still save him. ”

Elder Elucia glanced at Annis in a little surprise, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's okay, you can't let the human guests go on an adventure alone. ”

Steele looked at Yanis with a strange look as she tied herself to Xu Yi and opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything after all.

Vivien, who was beside her, said with some annoyance, "If only I could be as athletic as Sister Yanise." ”

Steele glanced at her, thinking to himself that I didn't think so, but in addition to the racial talent, the elven race is also because they have lived in this kind of forest since they were children, and they have practiced little by little, where can ordinary humans catch up.

The two could only watch as Xu Yi and Yanis were hoisted into the pit almost face to face.

Hearing that Yanis was going to go down with him, Xu Yi didn't have any special thoughts at first, but as the depth of the fall became deeper and deeper, and the surroundings became darker and darker, he could feel all kinds of changes around him more and more.

Feeling Yanis's body and himself tightly together, and even his face could not stop feeling the slightest breath from Yanis's nostrils, even if Xu was a wooden man, he couldn't help but increase his heartbeat at this time.

And in this dark environment, even the sound of heartbeat seems to be clearly audible.

"President Xu, are you scared?" Annis asked suddenly.

It's good that she didn't speak, but when she opened her mouth, a breath rushed to her mouth.

Of course, it was not bad breath, on the contrary, this breath also contained a special fragrance of herbs and trees, which made Xu Yi feel shocked after smelling it.

It's just that Xu Yi is even more embarrassed in this way, not only is his heartbeat accelerating again, but even a certain part involuntarily reacts.

Fortunately, this deep pit was only more than ten meters deep, and Xu Yi soon felt that his feet touched the ground, and he immediately calmed down.

Annis held out a finger, and a little green light emanated from her finger, illuminating the environment at the bottom of the pit.

The pit dug by the elves is quite spacious, with a bottom of nearly ten square meters, so that the two of them can still have a lot of room to maneuver after standing still.

With the light in Yanis's hand, Xu Yi carefully probed the surrounding situation, then crouched down and used his hands to pick up the dirt on the ground, revealing the hidden rock formations below.

Xu Yixian touched it with his hand, and from the point of view, the rocks in this rock formation should not be tight, and the stone is relatively loose, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

It doesn't matter if such a rock layer is a little thick, and you can definitely drill through it with the tools you brought.

In fact, it stands to reason that a forest like the Forest of Falling Rain, which is only ten meters deep, should not have this kind of rock layer at all, not to mention that there are such thick and tall giant trees on the surface of the ground where the elves live, and the roots of these giant trees alone are enough to make the general rock layer unable to exist, so the current situation is not in line with Xu Yi's common sense at all.

However, thinking that this is not the earth in the first place, and the common sense on the earth cannot be completely applied, Xu Yi was relieved and did not think about this problem.

After the exploration was completed, Xu Yi pulled the rattan tied to his body hard, allowing the elves above the pit to pull himself and Yanis up again.

Facing the expectant gaze of the elves and Elder Elucia, Xu Yi nodded, "It should be fine." ”

The elves breathed a sigh of relief, and even Elder Elucia's face showed a hint of joy.

Xu Yi ignored it so much, and opened the box he was carrying, revealing that the front end of the box was composed of a huge drill bit as thick as his arm.

Xu Yi laboriously raised the machine in his hand and smiled at Elder Elucia: "Respected Elder, please allow me to introduce to you that this is the magic machine specially developed by our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to solve the problems encountered by your clan, called the Small Magic Drilling Machine.
