NOVEL NEXT chapter 141 - Dark Elves
Twilight, like a tattered cloth soaked in ink, wrapped the Dark Forest tightly.
The deeper one ventured into the forest, the more twisted and monstrous the trees appeared. Their branches hung limply, like arms drained of muscle and bone, while decaying leaves covered the ground and withered vines were everywhere.
The entire forest was immersed in a suffocating silence, yet everywhere, there were hidden stirrings of unease.
There was no clamor of living things here, only the silent spread of death's aura. Every breath tasted of metallic sweetness, as if the forest itself was slowly and painfully decaying, and all who fell into it would become a maggot on this colossal, rotting corpse.
From the shadows, a figure slowly emerged. With a flash of white light, another figure abruptly appeared.
Hiss, hiss, hiss~~
Kazik, a head taller than an adult, waved his forelimbs, emitting a low, discontented growl from his mouthparts.
“See how impatient you are? Didn’t I let you out this time?”
Qin Tian patted Kazik’s cold carapace, stating his case with righteous indignation.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!!
Blue light flickered in Kazik’s vertical pupils, and he snorted, like an oppressed worker preparing for an uprising.
His master was always drawing him a big picture, promising to take him out for a good hunt multiple times, but it had yet to materialize. It truly made a Mantis angry.
“Shh, quiet down, don’t scare the prey away.”
Qin Tian put his index finger to his lips and communicated with Kazik through a mental link instead.
“Let’s have a competition right now, to see who finds the prey first,” Qin Tian said.
Upon hearing this, a competitive spirit immediately rose within Kazik’s mind. He crouched slightly, his vertical pupils scanning the surroundings like a radar, every subtle movement entering his auditory organs.
The next moment, a faint light flashed in his vertical pupils, and his body abruptly vanished.
“Not bad, just a little slower than me.”

Qin Tian smiled slightly, and his body seemed to dematerialize, disappearing into the air.
A few seconds later, he stood on a nearly withered tree, looking down.
Below, two giant Black Beasts lay sprawled on the ground, sound asleep. Their bodies were like small hills, and their snores, though not loud, were exceptionally clear in the night.
Just then, Kazik appeared beside Qin Tian, as if stepping out of thin air.
Qin Tian communicated mentally, a smile playing on his lips.
After his Nightmare Bloodline advanced to Nightmare Monarch, his stealth abilities in the dark greatly improved. Although Kazik was a fourth-tier Spirit Beast and had inherited some of his abilities, he was still a step behind him.
Kazik lowered his forelimbs, and a feeling of unresignedness came through his mental link, wanting to compete with Qin Tian again.
“Alright, let’s kill these two first, one for each of us.”
As soon as his voice fell, Kazik instantly vanished.
The next moment, the heavy breathing abruptly ceased.
The heads of the two Black Beasts slowly detached from their necks, the wounds as smooth as a mirror. They felt no pain for a second in their sleep before Kazik ended their lives.
“Damn it, that’s cheating! I said one for each of us.”
Qin Tian looked at Kazik helplessly.
Kazik flapped his wings, and the emotions conveyed carried a sense of mischief and /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ triumph.
“Round two, begin!”
Qin Tian left a sentence and plunged into the darkness.
Kazik readily accepted the challenge, entering an invisible state and disappearing.
Black Beasts, Giant Apes, Fierce Tigers, Spirit Cats, Black Wolves—
Qin Tian and Kazik were like reapers in the night, their movements ghostly, their attacks silent. Many Black Beasts had their lives taken by the two of them without even realizing it.
“I’m 17, you’re 15. Looks like I won again.”
Qin Tian patted Kazik’s head, teasingly.
Hiss~
Kazik turned his head away, not letting Qin Tian touch him.
“Heh, still mad.”
Qin Tian said with a chuckle, “If you’re not convinced, shall we continue?”
Upon hearing this, a blue light flashed in Kazik’s vertical pupils.
“How about we see who can take care of those two Dark Elves first?”
“Oh, so it’s a handsome human~”
A lazy, sweet voice suddenly came from beside his ear, speaking in Elven. The voice seemed to possess a strange magic, directly igniting the desires within one’s heart, causing blood to rush.
Qin Tian turned to look. In the moonlight, two gracefully slender Dark Elves stood not far away. Their skin was as dark as the deep night, yet their faces were as exquisite as normal Elves, and their deep purple eyes held a captivating charm.
“Little human brother, you’re so amazing.”
The taller Dark Elf on the left beckoned to Qin Tian, her eyes teasing: “I like amazing humans. Come here, let’s spend a wonderful night together.”
As she spoke, a peculiar ripple emanated from the Elf, and every gesture carried immense allure, making one unable to resist falling into it.
As her voice fell, Qin Tian’s expression subtly changed. He jumped off the branch and walked step by step towards the Dark Elf, a growing, impatient fervor appearing in his eyes.
“Yes, just like that, come towards me!”
The Dark Elf’s voice grew increasingly seductive, like a gentle hand constantly plucking at one’s heartstrings, making one feel an itching sensation,
And stirring up the heat.
His footsteps crunched on the dry leaves, making rustling sounds.
The fervor in Qin Tian’s eyes grew hotter and hotter, and his steps gradually quickened. In the end, he was practically running towards the Dark Elf.
“Yes, yes, come quickly~”
The Dark Elf’s tone grew softer, but the next moment, her face suddenly changed. She rolled to the side to dodge, and the Dark Elf beside her also swiftly moved away.
Just as their feet left the spot, a flash of blade light struck, missing the Dark Elf’s body by a mere step.
Boom!!
Dry leaves flew, and a long mark was cut into the ground.
Qin Tian looked to the side, muttering to himself:
“Their reaction is quite fast, but too bad for my Oscar-worthy acting.”
Hiss~~
The Dark Elves stood together, a hint of anger flashing in their purple eyes.
They had actually been tricked by a human. Hiss, hiss, hiss. Kazik flew to Qin Tian’s side, waving his forelimbs, seemingly complaining why Qin Tian didn’t just attack directly, but instead played these boring tricks.
“You don’t understand, this is called feigning weakness. I almost succeeded.”
Qin Tian responded. If he were in peak condition, that one strike just now would have split the Dark Elf in two. It was just a pity that when he tried to mobilize his spiritual energy again, the curse power caused a slight stagnation in his spiritual energy’s circulation.
This slight stagnation made his attacks less fluid and swift, and at the same time, his burst speed was also somewhat affected.
But no matter what, his current strength was quite a bit stronger than before he was injured. Being able to dodge his strike indicated that these two Dark Elves must be above third-tier, meaning their strength was at fourth-tier or higher.
“Kazik, the one on the left is yours. I’ll deal with the one on the right.”
A faint light flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes, and a surging dark aura spread out, as if a monarch of the night had descended.
