Chapter 16 The First Battle

It is the night elf corresponding to the glow elf, he actually knows that I am the child of nature?

Link has seen an introduction to this species in the library that guards the ancient tree. It is an evil elf that lives underground. It was split by the battle of the gods in ancient times.Because of the lack of sunlight all year round, the skin becomes pale like a vampire. It is a famous evil creature of the chaotic camp and loves to kill.

Link cautiously stared at the night elf who showed up: "Familiars of the night, is the missing druid in River Valley Town related to you?"

"My family lives deep underground, so how can we fight against the guardians of the earth." He is obviously an elf, but he has the opposite aura from Yris, more like a demon encountered in the southern rift of the Guardian Land.

"Since they live deep underground, why do they appear near human settlements?" The night elves are the vanguard of the chaotic camp. Like the dark elves, they are hated by the surface residents. Their appearance is often accompanied by death and slaughter.In terms of the risk factor alone, it is better than a Lich who is not possessed by frost.

As for the night elves, who were famous for their cunning and treachery, Link didn't dare to be careless, and secretly applied tree skin to himself.

"The patrol team in charge of this area disappeared ten days ago." The night elf gave a concise answer.

Missing again, counting Yuan Ye, this is already the third batch.The druid Rey who was stationed in Hegu Town disappeared half a year ago, Yuan Ye disappeared almost three months ago, and the patrol team of night elves disappeared ten days ago.

Link always felt that there was some connection between these missing persons, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.The extremely dangerous night elf was a few steps away from him. Although he was respectful and polite on the surface, who could guarantee that he would not suddenly pounce on him and stab him in the heart with another poisonous dagger.Just as the glow elves and the pillars of the earth are allies, the allies of the night elves are the greatest enemies of the children of nature before the undead appeared-the demons.No matter the faction or the alliance, they are all enemies. The so-called living deep underground and not fighting against the Pillars of the Earth is just a high-sounding rhetoric.

"You mean the patrol team?" Link, who couldn't think of a way, could only delay as much as possible.

"Yes, a whole team." The night elf raised his head slightly, a gleam of light flashed in his half-closed eyes, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth made Link's heart beat wildly.

Damn it, won't he find out that I'm just a novice with a strong outside?No, you have to bluff him.

"Dare to blatantly enter the surface and attack humans, do you have clear evidence?"

The night elf looked down and landed on the ground.Link looked down and saw that it was the charred corpse, with a machete gleaming on his waist.

The silver-blue luster made him frown, it was pure gold!Gonzalez taught Link to recognize it, so it's unmistakable.

Fine gold is a rare ore buried deep in the ground. It is deeply loved by the night elves. In order to compete for the ore veins, a century-long war broke out with the dwarves.It is impossible for a ragged beggar to possess such a valuable weapon. The only source is the night elf patrol team that disappeared ten days ago.

This is bad, what should I do next?

Link is sweating profusely. This is not training. Unlike the confrontation with the demon lord and the frost encounter, this time without Iris, no one can help him resolve the crisis, even if Gonzalez said that the novice period will not encounter life-threatening injuries. Dangerous, Link was still afraid.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

The missing areas are all located on the border of the guardian, and perhaps these disappearances are related to the undead.

Link thought of the Lich possessed by frost. As the enemy general, he really shouldn't go deep into the opponent's stronghold. After all, the Pillar of the Earth was transformed from an ancient god that symbolized nature. What is the use of such a senseless temptation?correct!Probe!

I see... He's not heading for the Pillar of the Earth, he's heading for me.Isn't it said that the undead and the children of nature are natural enemies?If the future Guardian of the Pillar of the Earth can be removed at the stage of the weak chosen one, wouldn't that be the removal of a future opponent and confidant?

There must be remnants of undead nearby. It is impossible for a Lich to launch attacks on both the west and north sides at the same time.

Link chuckled at his guess.

That's right!It must be so!

"It is impossible to kill the night elf patrol team with just a few human refugees."

"So?" It was obvious, and the night elf kept a weird smile.

"A few days ago, I annihilated a Lich on the northern border who was trying to invade the Guardian Land. Come to think of it, this is another one." Link lied, and attributed the achievement of eliminating the Lich to his own name. Deter night elves.

For a while, there was only the crackling sound of burning torches in the mine. After a moment of silence, the night elf finally spoke.

"Although such a request is a bit abrupt, please allow me to accompany you, the blood of the night elves must not be shed in vain."

Although it is in line with their character of vengeance, wouldn't it be a bit risky to walk with a night elf?

Link is conflicted.Promise, you may be stabbed at any time.If you don't agree, you are more likely to accept the move head-on.After weighing the pros and cons, Link chose a peer with relatively little danger.

"Flynn City Fifth Patrol Squad Captain, Artis." The night elf introduced himself. Although his facial features were neutral, his voice and height would never make Link mistake him for a woman.Edgar's elves are generally taller than humans, none less than 1.8 meters, even the night elves who live underground all year round.

Hmm... Do I have to declare my name too?The Son of Nature is an envoy of God, in terms of status, he is much higher than a night elf commoner, or should he just give him a fake name?

Just when Link was considering whether to introduce himself, the night elf had already walked around him towards the exit of the mine. He squatted down, groped for something on the ground, and stopped and walked.

Link followed up to take a look, and found that what he was looking at were footprints on the sand, left by the refugees who had just escaped.

The not so strong sunlight in the morning still made Artis, who was used to the darkness, very uncomfortable. He resisted the pain in his eyeballs to identify the traces left by the refugees.

"The footsteps are messy, they walked separately." It took time and effort to track them one by one, and Artis turned to look at Link.Even the world-renowned spirit tracking technique cannot track so many people at the same time in a short period of time.

Understanding the eyes of the night elves, Link activated the apocalypse for the second time, and the road sign pointed to the hill facing the mine.

"follow me."

Transformed into a white deer, he ran towards the direction indicated by the divine revelation.

Glancing left and right, Artis pulled up his cloak to cover his face, and followed Link closely, running as fast as the White Deer incarnation.

After a gallop, the two arrived at the top of the mountain in a short time. Among the lush forests, a man-made building could be vaguely seen.

As early as halfway up the mountain, Link felt the breath of the undead, which changed from light to strong, and was blown down from the top of the mountain by gusts of wind.The night elf who was following behind also smelled the scent in the air, he loaded the hand crossbow while running, his movements were skillful and smooth.

The breath came from the tomb built on the mountain wall. It looked like it was old. One of the two stone doors fell to the ground, and the other was half open.

"I'll take the lead in the front." Needless to say, the night elves are experts in assassination, and Link took the initiative to fight head-on to attract the enemy's firepower.

Different from the underground tombs outside the small town, the passage is filled with strong dead air. The passage is only two people wide, and there are stone beds dug out of the mountains on both sides. Most of them are weathered, only coins, necklaces and other gold and silver products are still intact.

click...

Link's familiar voice came from ahead. He slowed down and encountered the undead who sensed the breath of life at a corner. It was just a few skeletons, which were no different from the ones he purified at the northern border.

As soon as the big horns topped, they naturally caught up, and the two front ones immediately turned into white light and drifted away.

The narrow corridor and the mountain vibrated together, and the shaking lasted for several seconds before it stopped. Link felt the dead spirit of the undead became stronger, and he could vaguely hear voices coming from deeper.

More than one Lich?Hmm...it seems like a bit of a stretch, but since I have helpers, I should be able to handle it.

There was also the characteristic cracking sound of skeletons in the passageway behind. In order to avoid the front and rear pincers, Link slammed into it, purifying the remaining few skeletons together.

Through another stone door, one enters a spacious hall, where there are only a few sarcophagi, and a large pit is dug out in the middle of the ground, filled with viscous blood, like boiling water bubbling continuously, From time to time, a corpse rolled up, Link took a closer look, it was not a human being, but a night elf!

The Lich was floating right above the pool of blood, with his hands raised high, and he kept chanting spells.There are several wooden cages behind him, in which more than a dozen humans are imprisoned.Among a group of npcs shouting for help, Link saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face. He had seen it at one of the few family dinners. Although the game corrected the appearance of Asians, the charm remained the same. , is Yuan Ye.Link recognized it almost immediately.

Although it was a deer that came in, Yuan Ye also shouted for help along with Daliu.

"Come out, my servant." The Lich waved his hands, and the night elves floating in the pool of blood crawled out one by one, waving the weapons in their hands and rushing towards Link.

Ding--

Using the antlers to support the adamantine scimitar, Link slammed it, flying the first night elf who attacked, and dodging the pincer attacks of the other two. No matter how agile he was, he was still scratched by the fourth person.

The sharp blade broke through the defense of the tree skin, and the poison and dead air eroded the wound together. Link used the natural healing to remove the poison, and five of the eight spell slots had been used up.

The Lich knew Link was a novice just by looking at his attack methods.Just as the Lich let out a hoarse laugh at his good luck, Artis, who had been sneaking all this time, suddenly appeared from the shadows.

The pitch-black dagger precisely cut a hole in the Lich's heart, and quickly cut off his head. The body of the undead Lich fell down while chanting a spell, and the sound of blood splattered made the whole hall into a dead silence.The people trapped in the cage were terrified, and the night elves' statement was no better than that of the undead.

With the death of the Lich, the controlled night elves fell to the ground one after another, turning into a puddle of festering flesh in an instant.

Sure enough, there is no danger...

Link did not relax due to the death of the Lich, and solved the common enemy. I don't know what his temporary ally has planned.
