Chapter 185: The Elf Race, One of the Ten Thousand Races

According to relevant historical materials and Legendary records, ten thousand years ago, in that era when gods existed, this place was also a period when ten thousand races stood in great numbers.

At that time, humanity was still just a rather weak race, struggling to survive in the cracks between many powerful races.

Back then, the God race, Demon race, Giant race, Elf race, and even the Dragon race and others were existences that once stood in rivalry with one another in this world.

In the years that followed, with the fall of the gods, coupled with the successive fall of major races caused by years of chaotic warfare, Calamity and disease began to spread throughout the world.

A vast number of dead souls continuously gathered, gradually breeding Calamity, and those unyielding souls who had died in battle became the founders and leaders of the Calamity Forces.

Thus, the Evil God appeared; he attempted to bring Calamity back to this world, thereby ruling the entire world and becoming the new generation of god.

But in this era when the ten thousand races were gradually falling, humanity suddenly rose up and became the greatest ruler of this world.

In order to resist the invasion of the Calamity Forces, humanity began a bitter struggle that lasted for a thousand years.

Being able to see the Legendary Elf race now could not help but make Zhou Chu feel deeply shocked.

These races that could originally only be seen in novels or movies were all once believers in gods, so it is perfectly normal for them to appear in the God-Fallen Land.

Zhou Chu could clearly feel the radiance of divinity carried on the bodies of these Elf archers.

Presumably, they were summoned by the residual divine consciousness of some fallen god here, which is why they are guarding the fortress at this location.

Since I must go to war with the Elf race, one of the ten thousand races, then let us fight!

Just when Zhou Chu's army of servants was still some distance away from the fortress, those Elf archers pulled the longbows in their hands one after another; as the bowstrings vibrated, arrows containing Nature Force shot toward the army of contract servants like meteors.

These arrows possessed high penetrating power, and with the addition of the natural height, each arrow could pierce through the Corrosive Crushers at the very front.

Even the Chaos Dead Soldiers and Calamity Knights wearing heavy armor could not withstand the powerful arrows of these Elf archers.

Many servants already had their bodies bristling with arrows, yet they still charged forward without hesitation.

Accompanied by round after round of volleys from these Elf archers, the Corrosive Crushers at the very front could no longer hold on, and subsequently began to self-destruct one after another.

A massive red mushroom cloud rose up in front of the fortress, and the corrosive effect mixed within the blood mist stained these Elf archers, immediately causing them to let out bursts of painful screams.

Their skin rapidly festered under the corrosive action, and people began to fall to the ground or even tumble down below the city walls one after another.

The powerful impact force generated after the self-destruction instantly blew a large number of Elf archers away, and the heavy city gate could not bear the burden and was directly blown to collapse.

The fortress that looked as solid as metal was actually breached with ease under the self-destruction of a few Corrosive Crushers.

It seems this Lich King's research results are significant; the self-destruction power of these Corrosive Crushers has likely increased by more than one grade.

However, as Elf archers continued to die in battle, the Soul Points of the Life Soul Artifact were rising crazily.

It is just a pity that there is still no experience value credited, which is a bit frustrating.

On second thought, if I could complete the second evolution of the Life Soul Artifact while in the God-Fallen Land, that would also be good.

Zhou Chu watched the Soul Points climb continuously, and at the thought of the possibility of the Life Soul Artifact's second evolution, new hope was ignited.

As the city gate was breached, the army of contract servants surged in like a tide, sweeping through every corner of the fortress with the force of a crumbling ruin.

Those Elf soldiers were simply unable to resist; they retreated steadily under the fierce attack of the contract servant army, and in an instant, they were already decimated.

Zhou Chu took a look at the Soul Points; they were not even one thousand points yet.

The number of these Elf guards is simply not enough to look at; it took less than ten minutes to resolve the battle.

However, one can only stay in this God-Fallen Land for one hour, so the remaining time is extremely precious; if I want to enter again, I have to wait until next year to win the championship of the Peak Elite Individual Tournament again.

At this moment, half an hour has already passed, and the time left for Zhou Chu is already running out.

Zhou Chu then entered the fortress and looked up, only to discover that before his eyes was a great canyon, and in the distance were winding, continuous high mountains.

At the top of every mountain peak stood a high tower emitting a mysterious light.

But in front of the nearest high tower, an unfathomable cliff lay across the way, and between the steep mountain hollows on the opposite side, there was another fortress.

This fortress looked even more solid than the one previously breached, and at the same time, the terrain was precipitous, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If one wants to take this fortress quickly, one must fly over.

Zhou Chu could not help but feel some regret; had he known it would be this situation, he should have borrowed Li Er's Iron Dragon to use beforehand.

Now, the only ones who can fly are Gannasi, Lucita, and Gadi's Void Shuttle.

Gannasi clearly also saw the situation before him, so he descended from the air, came to the edge of the cliff to scout, and turned to say to Zhou Chu: "Master, the mountain terrain here is precipitous, and there is no path that can be crossed; it is no longer suitable for the army to advance."

Zhou Chu withdrew the army of servants back into the Contract Pool and nodded, saying: "You go ahead and scout first to see if you can fly directly to the high tower side!"

"Master, leave this fortress to me; I will definitely take it down in the shortest amount of time!"

After Gannasi said this with full confidence, his massive wings flapped violently, stirring up a gust of wind, and his figure flew toward the opposite side like a sharp arrow.

When Gannasi approached the fortress, the Elf guards on the city wall immediately discovered him.

Instantly, the sound of horns blared, and the loud sound echoed continuously through the valley.

This time, those Elf archers responsible for guarding the fortress seemed different from the previous ones; they were wearing light armor with a feather pattern.

At the same time, accompanied by the sound of clear whistles, numerous Night Hawks suddenly flew over from the mountain peak.

These Night Hawks were massive in size, each one several meters tall, and their flight speed was extremely fast; they soon arrived in front of the fortress.

And those Elf archers standing on the city wall leaped nimbly one after another and landed steadily on the backs of the Night Hawks.

Immediately following, these Elf archers riding the Night Hawks pulled the longbows in their hands and shot a rain of arrows at Gannasi.

However, Gannasi would not show weakness; his figure suddenly flickered and disappeared into the air.

Those Elf archers suddenly lost their target and stood there one by one, but soon they tried to find Gannasi's figure using various detection spells, yet they gained nothing.

Although these Elf archers could not find Gannasi's figure, in Zhou Chu's eyes, after Gannasi performed the Surprise Attack, his body had become a transparent phantom.

Immediately after, Zhou Chu saw that Gannasi soon transformed into one of them and cleverly mixed in among them.

And these Night Hawk archers were completely unaware, riding the Night Hawks and turning back to return.
