Volume 1 Chapter 23 Elven Dungeon: The Reason for the Elven Clan's Departure
"I heard it, they left a new address in the branches, I can finally find them!"
Laila couldn't hide her excitement and said happily.
Then, he asked Nan Baiwei with a serious expression, "The road we will take next will be very dangerous, I may not be able to protect you, you should consider whether to continue." β
As he asked, a systematic voice sounded in Nan Baiwei's ears.
γDing! Get a new address for the elves! Do you want to continue the mission? γ
Nan Baiwei fell into deep thought, and now, he has no choice but to pinch the trick to take a hexagram.
Q: Is this trip safe?
Got: Da'an.
Da'an, there were bumps in the way, but the result was safe.
With this hexagram, Nan Baiwei was a little relieved, and time passed as she thought about it.
Layla's heart grew more and more nervous, like a prisoner of war waiting for the outcome of the trial.
After a long silence, Nan Baiwei finally made a decision, she looked up at the elf and bird staring at her in front of her, and couldn't help laughing.
"I've decided to stay with you, or that sentence, and I'll have to do what I promised, and, if you can't keep me, what about the grains? Will you not be saved if you will die? β
Hearing this, Gu Li snorted with a serious face, with an expression of why are you so suspicious of me.
Laila also swore with a solemn face: In the name of I, Laila, I swear to the Tree of Life, if I encounter danger, I will definitely protect Nanbaiwei with my life.
A bright light lit up from Layla, and the oath was established.
Nan Baiwei did not stop the other party, and she could feel at ease with this vow.
The grain chirped a few times, as if swearing, and then a blue light lit up on it.
Nan Baiwei was a little surprised to see this, it turned out that it was okay for grains to swear?
Laila volunteered to explain to her: "On this continent, all creatures with their own consciousness swear their own lives are valid. β
Nan Baiwei nodded thoughtfully after listening to this, this game is quite real.
Several of them decided to set off for a new place for the elves, and they did not stay, and with excitement, they hurried to their destinations, looking forward to the reunion with the elves.
After a long journey, the group arrived at the new elven settlement without danger.
Looking at the protective shield glowing green in front of her, Laila unconsciously began to tense.
Seeing this, Nan Baiwei teased: "Are you cowardly in your hometown? β
Laila shook her head, "I'm just ashamed that I've been out for so long, and I haven't found a solution to the mutation, and even I'm deeply involved in the mutation..."
"Hmm... There will always be a solution. Nan Baiwei comforted, although she felt that she couldn't help much, but since the system had released this task, there should still be a solution.
As the two were talking, two green lights flashed in front of them.
"Who stays here?"
The green light vanished, and two elves dressed in green leaves pointed their spears at the two of them.
"It's me, Layla." Laila stepped forward and spoke loudly, lifting and activating the branch of the Tree of Life in her hand.
One of the green shadows hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to take the branch of the Tree of Life, only to see him look carefully for a long time, and nodded at the other figure.
"It's a branch of the tree of life." Immediately, he looked at Laila and asked, "Haven't you been wandering all the time?" How could you suddenly come back from outside? β
Nan Baiwei watched their reactions, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, this is not the attitude of welcoming her own people.
Laila explained unhurriedly, "This is the stranger I found outside according to the prophecy, so I have returned, and I need to see the patriarch." β
The two elves looked at each other when they heard this, and finally let them go.
The two of them passed through the protective shield and expected to see a thriving village, but the scene before their eyes was not as prosperous as they had imagined.
In its place, there was a barren land with a handful of elven residents.
In this desolate land, there are only about thirty elves in total.
They looked exhausted, their faces haggard, and their eyes full of sorrow.
This scene made Nan Baiwei and Laila feel greatly shocked and puzzled.
"How so?" Laila couldn't believe what she was seeing.
At this moment, an old man flew out of a slightly larger treehouse.
"Is it Layla? You're finally back. The old man said kindly to Layla.
When Laila saw the old man, the corners of her reddened eyes finally couldn't help but drip into tears, "Patriarch, how did the elven clan become like this?" β
The patriarch sighed, "You guys come in first, the whole thing is more complicated. β
Several people entered the wooden house, and Nanbai observed the furnishings in the house without a trace.
There was only a table and a few stools, and a large leaf that appeared to be a bed, and nothing else, and it looked very rudimentary.
"Sit down, I'll talk to you carefully." The patriarch extended an invitation to the two of them, and then told them all about it.
During the communication with the patriarch, Nan Baiwei learned about their fate, and after Layla mutated and left the clan, more and more elves in the clan also changed.
After losing consciousness, he injured many of his clansmen, so they all left the clan land of their own free will.
But things haven't gotten any better, and since then, every new clan in the birthground of the Tree of Life has changed.
The patriarch felt that something was wrong, so he sent a normal elven clan to find the cause of the abnormality of the tree of life.
After many investigations, they finally found the problem at the source of the water source of the Tree of Life.
At some point, the water source was placed in a mass of sewage, and there was no way to purify this sewage.
And the elves who guarded the source there had been so polluted that they had completely lost consciousness.
When the patriarch learned of this, he hurriedly came to the Tree of Life and tried to establish contact with the Tree of Life, but the Tree of Life had been deeply polluted and had long since lost consciousness.
Seeing this, the elves discussed it and made a huge decision to dig up the tree of life and move the whole clan away.
The patriarch took an attitude of trying, and told the Tree of Life one last time, and the Tree of Life, which had long since lost consciousness, reacted to this.
It turned into a seed for them to take away, and the moment the tree of life disappeared, all the plants in the entire elven clan land lost their lives, the ground was all cracked, and the river dried up directly.
After leaving the land, the elves began their journey to find a new place to live.
In the course of this long journey, many members of the elven clan passed away one after another, and in the end, only these few survivors remained.
For so long, Layla was the only one who found them.
