chapter 147 - Trafficking Plan
"Ai Long!"
"Ai Long!"
Ai Long walked to the spot where Qiya had the accident. On site, a pale, narrow-eyed man leaned against a tree, blood at the corner of his mouth, and several scratches on his chest, with wounds gushing blood.
"Ai Long, hurry and save Qiya, she was taken by the Dark Elves."
The Elves said anxiously.
Ai Long naturally wanted to find Qiya as soon as possible, but what he should do now is to ask clearly which direction Qiya was taken.
"Quick—hurry and save my companion."
The man weakly raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "The Dark Elves took them there."
Ai Long looked in the direction the man pointed, then put his hand to his mouth and blew a loud, long whistle.
"Whoosh!!!"
A large flock of kingfishers and eagles flew from the forest, circling above everyone.
Ai Long pointed forward and said:
"Head in this direction, find Qiya!"
As soon as his voice fell, the flock of birds immediately flapped their wings and flew in the direction Ai Long pointed.
"Qiya."
Ai Long clenched his fists. He knew very well how terrifying the torment and humiliation an Elf girl would endure once she fell into the hands of the Dark Elves.
Those humiliations and pains would become the source of the Elves' degradation, and under the catalysis of the Evil God's power, they would eventually transform into the Dark Elves they detested.
"We'll chase too!"
Ai Long immediately gave chase, and the surrounding Elves also moved out. There is strength in numbers, and they must rescue Qiya before she is taken to the Dark Elves' lair.
"Qin Tian, aren't you coming?"
Xing Fei was about to follow closely behind Ai Long, but seeing Qin Tian's delay, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qin Tian shook his head, his gaze falling on the injured man's face, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
That's right, this man was the Gloomy Man on whom he had placed the hunting mark.
The so-called companion who was abducted by the Dark Elves was the short man.
But subtly, the direction the short man left was completely opposite to the direction the Gloomy Man pointed.
In other words, the Gloomy Man pointed Ai Long and many Elves in the wrong direction.
The Gloomy Man looked up and happened to see Qin Tian's amused gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he said guiltily:
"Brother Qin Tian, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ah, I'm thinking, since the Dark Elves can take two people away, why did they leave you, an injured person, alive? It feels like the Dark Elves are quite merciful." Qin Tian said, pretending to be deep in thought.
The Gloomy Man's body trembled slightly. This was indeed a loophole in his words, but the Elves were too anxious and didn't notice this detail. Unexpectedly, a rookie actually noticed it.
"It's not that he's merciful; it's that I fought with all my might, almost losing my life, to escape narrowly."
The Gloomy Man explained, "The Dark Elves' main target is Elves; they don't value me, which is why I'm still alive. Oh, so that's how it is."
Qin Tian suddenly realized, "Brother, then you're really lucky. I heard that being abducted by the Dark Elves makes life worse than death."
"Yeah~"
The Gloomy Man nodded with lingering fear, then asked for help: "Brother Qin Tian, the Elves have left, can you help me find some healing medicine?"
Qin Tian: "Okay, I'll help you ask. Xing Fei, you also ask someone."
"Okay."
Xing Fei nodded.
With that, Qin Tian and Xing Fei went their separate ways.
Watching Qin Tian's receding figure, a faint glint flashed in the Gloomy Man's eyes.
Swish swish swish~
The short man ran wildly with a sack on his back, the wind whistling in his ears. His {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} heart was a mix of excitement, nervousness, and unease.
The sack, of course, contained the missing Elf girl, Qiya.
Abducting an Elf girl was his sole purpose for coming to Elf Star. In the black market, the price of an Elf girl was hundreds of millions, and once one appeared, the final price would only be higher, never lower.
For humans, Elves were simply too alluring. Their faces were exquisitely perfect, their skin as fair as snow, and their lifespan was much longer than humans', so there was no need to worry about Elves aging. If one could keep an Elf at their side, life would be even more joyful than that of an immortal.
Of course, many rich women also loved Elf handsome men, and were even willing to pay a higher price.
However, the difficulty of taking an Elf away from Elf Star was incredibly high.
Firstly, the outer space of Elf Star was completely controlled by the Empire's fleet, and no private spacecraft were allowed to approach Elf Star.
Secondly, everyone leaving Elf Star would undergo strict scrutiny by the military, from the ground to the space base, and from the space base to entering the starship, with military personnel accompanying them every step of the way.
Trying to hide an Elf by one's side was simply a fantasy.
But for anything involving people, there was always room for manipulation.
The boss who hired them had already established connections with the military. As long as he could bring the Elf to the designated location, Ministry of Defense personnel would be there to meet him and load the Elf girl into a cargo box in the spaceship's warehouse.
The Elf would be taken away without anyone knowing.
After the matter was done, he would at least receive tens of millions, which would allow him to live the luxurious life he had always dreamed of.
"Almost there, almost there."
The stout man ran wildly along the map on his wristband, passing through the Forest of Life, and finally entering the Dark Forest, arriving at the agreed location.
Looking at the withered and desolate forest around him, the short man felt a little uneasy, fearing that there might be Dark Elves nearby.
Fortunately, he was lucky, and no Dark Elves came knocking.
The short man quickly executed the plan. With a step, earth-yellow spiritual energy penetrated the ground. Soon, the ground was forcibly parted, digging deep downwards.
He jumped into the pit, then controlled the earth-elemental spiritual energy, causing the parted soil to return, solidifying the earth and leaving a space large enough for three or four people.
Then, he took out two pearls and placed them in his and the Elf's mouths. These pearls were called mermaid pearls, from the deep sea, and when held in the mouth, they could continuously provide oxygen, ensuring they wouldn't suffer from oxygen deprivation underground.
Everything was ready; now they just had to wait for the people who were coming to meet them. The cave was incredibly quiet, and the heartbeats of the two could be clearly heard.
Holding a soft, warm, delicate body in his arms, with a faint fragrance lingering at his nose, the short man couldn't resist touching the Elf all over, and fiercely kissed her face several times.
"Damn it, Elf girls are really moist. I wonder when I'll be able to keep an Elf at home myself."
Thinking of the Elf's exquisite beauty, the short man's lust surged, but fortunately, he knew he couldn't lose sight of the bigger picture. If the Elf girl were defiled, not only would he not get the huge reward, but his boss would also kill him.
"I don't think you'll get the chance."
Suddenly, a light chuckle sounded, muffled, as if coming through the earth from next door.
The short man's body stiffened, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
