Chapter 100: The Walking Forest
Somewhere deep in the forest, a group of treemen took root, they came from far away, consumed a lot of energy, and needed to be replenished by a long sleep. In the center, dozens of treants formed a small circle, holding up tree houses and building passages to form a makeshift camp.
At this moment, in the largest treehouse, an elderly elf in a gorgeous costume was sitting in a chair, listening carefully to the report of an elven hunter.
“...... In the past seven days, all the people we sent out have disappeared, and none of them have returned. ”
The Great Elder frowned, and said slowly, "How can this be?
"Yes, Grand Elder. The hunter's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said with a look of horror: "The second elder found out that something was wrong, and went to check the situation in person, and the result was ...... There has been no news so far. ”
"How can this be...... "Zack's strength is almost the same as mine, who can kill him silently?
"At present, it seems that this is the only possibility. The other elf continued, "If the Maiden of the Forest of the Eternal Night Tribe killed Zack, then we will at least get some news." But now I haven't even received a distress signal...... This only shows that he has no chance to resist at all. ”
At this time, a sharp voice sounded next to him: "You must be underestimating our Emerald Leaf Tribe, there are at least seven or eight of our sons of the forest who can make Zach die silently." ”
Yewu's face immediately flushed with greenness, and the expression of the Great Elder of Twilight was also a little unnatural, this was indeed excessive, and it was equivalent to degrading the entire Twilight Elder Council to worthless.
The speaker was a young elf, and his clothes were noticeably more ornate than those of the twilight tribe. In this treehouse, most of the people were standing, except for him and a man wrapped in black robes, whose expression was unobservable, and the young elf had his arrogance written directly on his face.
As soon as General Yewu was about to refute, the Great Elder of Twilight Yu preemptively said: "Yewu, His Highness Fengye has grown up under the World Tree since he was a child, and his vision is much broader than the two of us, we are afraid of the Great Elder of the Eternal Night, but the Emerald Leaf Tribe is not afraid, you can think about it after you go back, and rearrange the manpower and methods of surveillance." ”
Jew knew what the Great Elder meant, and he squeezed a "I will" from between his teeth, and then turned and left the treehouse.
Feng Ye's face immediately sank, and he said coldly, "Elder Gray Feather, what does he mean by this? Do you think I'm not qualified to speak here? Or do you think my archery and natural spells are not good?" Call him back and ask him clearly before leaving. ”
The Great Elder smiled and said, "Ye Wu has never had any knowledge, and he has only been to the World Tree twice, but His Highness Wind Leaf is a son of the forest who grew up under the World Tree, so why should he be like him? ”
Feng Ye's face softened at this time, snorted, and said, "I think Twilight should be replaced by a general, this Yewu is completely unsuitable for command." ”
The faces of the twilight elves in the treehouse changed drastically, and only the Great Elder of Grey Feather still smiled, and said, "After taking the Eternal Night Tribe, I will go back to convene an elder council to discuss the issue of Yeu's appointment. ”
Feng Ye snorted heavily, leaning back in his chair with satisfaction, the Great Elder's attitude made him very happy, in the Emerald Leaf Tribe, it was not his turn to be so beautiful. Feng Ye looked at the twilight elf in the room, and said in an accentuated tone: "I am here to watch the battle this time, warriors and druids who have performed well in the battle will have the opportunity to join the Emerald Leaf Tribe, so you have to fight hard, let me take a good look at your skills." ”
This time, even Gray Feather couldn't maintain the smile on his face, he pretended not to hear Kaze's words, turned his face to the man in black next to him, and asked respectfully, "What do you think?"
The Great Elder's attitude towards this person was not so much respectful as fearful, and even the arrogant son of the forest, Fengye, looked at the man in black with a very unnatural expression.
It was a mysterious figure wrapped in a cloak, with only darkness in his low hood, and even the sunlight could not illuminate his face. The man in black kept his head down, as if dozing off, until Gray Feather asked him for advice, and then he said slowly, "It won't be the woman of the eternal night." ”
His voice was extremely hoarse, giving the impression of tearing through the air, as if a hole had been cut in his throat, and it sounded completely unlike that of an elf. When the man in black spoke, his body twisted unnaturally, and his joints seemed to be not in the same position as the elves, and the direction of rotation was completely different.
The Great Elder's eyebrows furrowed again, and he asked cautiously, "However, apart from the Great Elder of the Eternal Night, I really can't think of anyone else who can silently take out so many of our hunters and druids, including the Sacred Realm Elder who leads the team. ”
The black-robed man said again in that trembling voice: "Under the curse of my lord, she can only hide under the tree of life, and cannot leave the realm of the tree of life, and I can't feel the power of my lord at all now, which means that she has never left the tree of life at all." ”
Hearing his words, the Great Elder not only did not feel relaxed, but his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
(Could it be that another terrifying powerhouse has appeared in the Eternal Night Tribe?)
Elder Grey Feather immediately ordered the group to extend their stay and prepare to set off in three days, and the marching speed was reduced from 200 kilometers to 100 kilometers per day, in order to maintain the strength of the Treants and avoid being attacked by the enemy when they were exhausted.
Wind Leaf was unimpressed by Gray Feather's conservatism, but he didn't express his opinion this time, in the eyes of these guardian elves, the Eternal Night Tribe was already meat on the chopping block, it didn't matter when it was cut, it was better to arrive later, maybe the Great Elder of Eternal Night couldn't hold it anymore, and they just went over to clean up the mess.
As night fell, most of the Patron Elves fell asleep, and the Sentinels stuck to their posts, but did not light the lights. Patron elves have evolved excellent night vision over the years, and they can even catch fast-moving rats in the dark forest.
That night, the ordinary soldiers slept peacefully. There were hundreds of powerful treants gathered here, and they didn't believe anyone dared to approach the camp. However, those Sanctuary powerhouses were unable to sleep, and Gray Feather, Yewu, and even Fengye had woken up countless times, but they didn't understand why this was at all.
Richard and Reilly stood on a large tree, looking at the massive mobile camp. The distance between their location and the elven camp was less than a kilometer, and it was completely within the line of sight of the elven sentinels. However, when the elven sentinels swept their gaze over the two of Reilly, they would always subconsciously treat them as two ordinary leaves.
"Why don't you just kill it?" said Reilly, playfully, "I thought you were impulsive." ”
"Whew~~~"
Inspector Richard let out a long breath. The frenzied killing of the past few days has dissipated most of the heat in his heart. He knew that impulsiveness wouldn't solve anything, so he forced himself to stay calm, even though he really wanted to rush straight into the elven camp and kill them just now.
It wasn't until Richard and Reilly disappeared from the trees that Grey Feather, Jew, and Kazeleaf were able to sleep, but they were woken up again within two hours, for it was already dawn.
