Chapter 418: Dark Creatures Appear — The Skeletal Monsters' Attack!

While Lin Yan was kindling flames in the Abyss and Succubus Natasha was waging war there, the clearing work in the Dark Forest continued.

In the blink of an eye, the elves had been clearing land in the Dark Forest for over a month.

By now, the Holy Flame Forest they had cleared was already quite sizable.

Over a thousand kilometers deep.

The north-south width had also reached over a thousand kilometers.

Two-thirds of the area Princess Chenxi had originally envisioned had been cleared.

However, after discussing with Romina, Princess Chenxi decided to expand the clearing area.

Elves never complain that the forest they live in is too large.

Generally speaking, the larger the forest, the more energy its World Tree receives, and the faster it can nurture new elves.

Moreover, on the Continent of Gods there are still many elves living in scattered small forests; these elven clans are by no means few, and their populations are sizable too. Expanding the Holy Flame Forest a bit more now would allow it to house even more elves.

"The Holy Flame Forest will be even larger than Loki Forest!"

In the sky, Princess Chenxi gazed down at the Dark Forest being lit up bit by bit and said softly.

Blessed by Lin Yan, Princess Chenxi had successfully become an Eighth Rank elf. She did not take part in the clearing work, but flew in midair, safeguarding the elves.

Now, ahead of the elves' clearing line were Princess Chenxi, Romina, and another Seventh Rank elf.

As the clearing went deeper, the dark creatures grew more numerous and more densely packed.

This was normal.

Because the dark creatures on the edges of the Dark Forest had been driven over.

Naturally, these dark creatures had gathered into clumps.

However, because of the Holy Light's presence, these dark creatures did not dare to approach.

But undeniably, within the darkness, large numbers of dark creatures were already spying on the clearing elves, itching to make a move!

While clearing, the elves could also hear all sorts of low roars and some particularly eerie cries.

These sounds were especially uncanny; if a human were to hear them, they would probably feel a chill run through their whole body.

Using sound as a means of influencing emotions often yields decent results.

Unfortunately, what they faced were powerful elves.

Upon hearing these sounds, the elves would only become more cautious and would not be taken in.

After watching for a while, Princess Chenxi flew forward another stretch.

Below, the Dark Forest was clearly especially gloomy; sunlight could not penetrate it at all.

Princess Chenxi thought for a moment, offered a prayer, and a larger Holy Flame immediately appeared in her hand. She then hurled it down.

When the Holy Flame landed in the Dark Forest, it instantly exploded, illuminating a large swath of the Dark Forest.

Within, large numbers of dark creatures let out agonized shrieks. Some of the stronger ones fled outright; the weaker ones had no time to escape and were purified by the Holy Light on the spot, leaving not even bones behind.

"They're getting denser and denser."

Princess Chenxi murmured to herself.

Then Holy Flames kept appearing in her hand; every few hundred meters she tossed one down, blasting apart the gathered dark creatures.

This was a way of clearing dangers in advance.

This method did not waste energy points, because once the dark creatures within were blasted apart by the Holy Flame and purified by the resulting Holy Light, Lin Yan could also harvest energy points — and even evolution points.

On the other side of the elves' clearing line, Romina and another Seventh Rank elf were also doing this.

In the sky, there were actually some other elves as well; although these elves had not reached Seventh Rank, they too could fly.
