chapter 136 - First Encounter with the Elf
Inside the small spacecraft, “Brother, which planet are you from?”
A scruffy middle-aged man sat beside Qin Tian, chatting casually.
Qin Tian: “Silver Gray Star.”
“Silver Gray Star? The planet that just experienced the Evil God Sacrifice? Brother, do you know any inside stories? Care to share with us?”
The middle-aged man immediately became interested, and others nearby also looked at Qin Tian.
Recently, the Evil God Sacrifice on Silver Gray Star was the most sensational event in the Qingmu Star Region, causing quite a stir within the Empire.
After all, billions of people almost died in that Evil God Sacrifice. If the Ministry of Defense and the Tribunal hadn't detected it in advance and destroyed the blood sea formation of the Four Pillars Evil Array, that continent would probably have become a dead land.
So, when they learned that Qin Tian was from Silver Gray Star, everyone wanted to get some undisclosed inside information from him.
“Sorry, I was on another continent at the time, so I don’t know the specific situation very well.”
Qin Tian shrugged, “But I heard that there was a handsome and powerful officer in the Ministry of Defense who foresaw the Evil God’s conspiracy and thwarted the sacrifice.”
“Handsome and powerful? As handsome as you?”
“Probably about the same as me.”
“Haha, brother, you really know how to flatter yourself.”
Inside the spacecraft, a burst of laughter erupted.
Qin Tian smiled slightly, looking at the lush green ocean outside the window, his mood involuntarily relaxing a lot.
A few tens of minutes later, the spacecraft landed in an open area. Everyone jumped out of the spacecraft, and their eyes were immediately drawn to the two Elves in front of them.
To the left was an Elf maiden. She had long, silver-white hair that shimmered with a soft luster, like moonlight sprinkled on snow. A flower crown adorned her hair. Her skin was fair, and her ears were pointed and long, curving slightly forward. A dress cleverly sewn from leaves and animal skins draped over her, highlighting her graceful figure. Her slender, jade-like fingers held a tree bow, adding a sharp aura to her.
He wore a top woven from tree bark and vines, his strong muscles faintly visible, paired with dark green leather pants, and deerskin boots on his feet. A delicate dagger was tucked at his ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ waist.
When Qin Tian saw these two Elves, his first impression was only one word: perfection.
Both the Elf and the Elf maiden were like characters straight out of an anime, with not a single flaw visible on their entire bodies.
Seeing them, one couldn't help but lament the unfairness of the creator.
“I’ll drop you all off here. You’ll follow the two Elves from now on.”
The captain officer averted his gaze from the Elves, said a word, and then piloted the spacecraft back to the space base.
After the officer left, the Elf spoke, his voice like a mountain spring, pleasant and clear:
“Follow me.”
He spoke in the Elf language, but fortunately, everyone wore a translator, so they could understand what the Elf said.
The eight people followed behind the Elves. Along the way, the Elves did not say a single word to them, their arrogance unmasked on their faces.
To the Elf race, humans were also a defiled and dirty race, only slightly better than the Dark Elves.
If it weren't for the current internal strife, and the Elf race needing external help, they would never allow humans to step into this beautiful and pure forest.
Along the way, Qin Tian silently observed the forest.
This was the most vibrant forest he had ever seen. Every tree was over a hundred meters tall, with ancient trees towering and lush.
Sunlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting fragmented light and shadows, like a golden gauze curtain.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of leaves in the breeze could be heard, occasionally interspersed with a few crisp bird calls, further highlighting the forest's profound depth. Thick layers of fallen leaves accumulated into a soft carpet on the ground, emitting the fragrance of earth mixed with vegetation. With every step, one could feel nature's gentle embrace.
Being in this forest brought a sense of tranquility from the soul, as if one could forget all worries.
Due to the presence of his two talents, 【Plant Assimilation】 and 【Spirit Energy Healing】, Qin Tian also felt a sense of ease, like a fish in water. The Qingtan Sacred Branch bracelet on his wrist glowed faintly, silently absorbing natural energy.
Fluttering, fluttering, halfway through, a kingfisher flew from a distance, chirping around the Elves.
“Alright, I know. Go inform the patriarch that we’ll be there soon.”
The Elf maiden's voice was clear, with a hint of liveliness.
When they heard her voice, a smile involuntarily appeared on everyone's faces.
“Chirp, chirp, chirp~”
The kingfisher circled twice, then flapped its wings and quickly flew towards the depths of the forest.
“We need to speed up.”
The Elf said to the crowd, then started walking, his steps light and agile, like a nimble deer.
Fortunately, everyone present was a Spiritual Energy User of Tier 3 or above, capable of keeping up with the Elf's pace.
About ten minutes later, the group finally arrived at the Golden Oak Tribe.
A colossal golden oak tree stood majestically, like an ancient king. Its trunk was incredibly thick, requiring dozens of people to encircle it, its surface covered with the Texture of ages, as if narrating ancient tales.
The golden bark shimmered with captivating light under the sunlight, as if plated with a layer of gold. Its massive canopy covered the sky, and its lush branches extended in all directions, like a giant golden umbrella unfurled.
Around the oak tree, exquisitely crafted huts made of wood and leaves were scattered, these being the residences of the Elves.
The huts blended perfectly with their surroundings, as if they had naturally grown from the earth.
Winding paths meandered among the trees, connecting the various huts. The paths were paved with smooth stones and colorful petals, full of poetic charm.
From time to time, graceful Elves walked by. Their ears were sharp as if carved, their eyes bright, their skin fair, and they wore clothes woven from leaves and vines, adorned with fresh flowers and gems, exuding an aura of elegance and agility with every movement.
“Wow!”
The scene before them was like a painting, with beautiful scenery and beautiful people, causing everyone present to exclaim in admiration.
The Elf race noticed the arrival of another group of humans. Some were expressionless, some indifferent, and others showed undisguised disdain on their faces.
It was like a group of people suddenly arriving at one's home, needing their help with cleaning, but also wanting to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Qin Tian noticed the Elf's attitude and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
It seemed that entering the Elf Silver Moon Sacred Lake would be much more difficult than he had imagined.
