Chapter 631: Elf Holy Bow
"Lord Andiya, I heard you have guests?"
Before the person had even walked in, Lingyun and the others heard a muffled voice from afar.
A short figure appeared at the main entrance, walking briskly in their direction.
"Is this... the Dwarf King?" Feeling the imposing aura radiating from the newcomer, Chen Jing could not help but mutter.
This Dwarf King was not much different in height from the dwarf they had encountered earlier, but both the armor on his body and the weapon in his hand surged with a massive aura. In her perception, the aura emanating from the Dwarf King before her was like a boundless, endless ocean, making her feel a sense of trepidation.
"Are these few your guests?" When the Dwarf King saw the three of them, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He had assumed that anyone who could be personally received by Andiya must be an extraordinary talent. But these three people before him—two Saint Domain, one Heavenly Domain—looked strange no matter how he viewed them. He truly could not understand how someone of this strength could be connected to Andiya.
"Lord Dewalin, you have come at the right time. We are about to set off for Luoxia Valley; I wonder if you have the time to accompany us?" Andiya asked, looking at Dewalin.
"Head to Luoxia Valley?" Hearing this, Dewalin's eyes lit up. "Does Lord Andiya have some new discovery?"
"I do not have any new discoveries, but if Mr. Lingyun is present, he will certainly be able to find something," Andiya said.
"Mr. Lingyun..." Dewalin could not help but feel a jolt. To be addressed as 'Mr.' by Andiya, this person was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
"Let us set off immediately!" Andiya waved her hand, and a silver Space Array unfolded before them.
At the forward position of Luoxia Valley, a team of Elf scouts and a team of Dwarf Heavy Infantry stared solemnly at the valley entrance ahead. Dark purple mist drifted out from the valley entrance from time to time, only to vanish into nothingness within a cluster of green light.
"Hum—"
Space distorted, and several figures appeared on the open ground.
"Your Majesty."
"Lord High Priest."
After seeing who had arrived, the Elves and Dwarves present bowed one after another.
"At ease," Andiya waved her hand slightly.
"The situation is becoming increasingly severe." Andiya's gaze fell upon the base of the Natural Array, and she could not help but frown.
"Increasingly severe?" Dewalin looked at the base of the Natural Array just as Andiya had, but he could not make heads or tails of it.
"Under previous conditions, this Natural Array was sufficient to hold for a month, but judging by the current rate of consumption, it can last at most half a month," Andiya said to him.
"Half a month?"
Hearing Andiya say this, Dewalin's expression also turned serious. This meant that the intensity of the Demon Qi in Luoxia Valley had at least doubled within a few days; this was not a good omen.
"Lingyun, have you noticed anything?" Andiya asked Lingyun, who was beside her.
"Hmm, a little. Andiya, did you bring the bow?" Lingyun nodded slightly; he could already feel that deep within Luoxia Valley, there was an object that resonated with him.
"Here!"
Andiya flipped her hand, and a jade-green longbow appeared in her hand. The longbow looked as if it were spliced together from two tree branches, and the string area was completely empty. Although the entire bow looked extremely plain, the bow body was covered in Divine Runes personally inscribed by the Elf Goddess, surging with a massive aura. She reached out and handed the longbow to Lingyun.
"Elf Holy Bow?"
Seeing the green longbow in Andiya's hand, Dewalin could not help but open his mouth wide. He had never expected that the Sacred Gear of the Elf Race would appear in Andiya's hands. Had this Holy Bow not always been controlled by the Queen of the Elf Race? Now, the High Priest of the Elf Race had not only brought the Elf Holy Bow out but had also handed it to a Human—what exactly did this signify?
This series of questions left Dewalin's brain, which was not adept at thinking, completely bewildered.
"This is the will of the Goddess," Andiya said with a smile.
Well, now Dewalin was even more bewildered; how did this matter involve the Elf Goddess, who had long since disappeared?
"Is that so?" Lingyun chuckled and took the Elf Holy Bow from Andiya's hand.
"Hum—"
Seemingly sensing Lingyun's presence, the Elf Holy Bow suddenly let out a hum.
Lingyun pressed his right hand into the void, and jade-green light extended from both sides of the Holy Bow, intertwining to form a bowstring. Lingyun placed his right hand on the string and slowly drew the longbow.
The moment the string was drawn, Dewalin, who was standing to the side, instantly felt a massive vortex appear around Lingyun, and the elements between heaven and earth were frantically surging toward the direction of that vortex.
"This, this is impossible. A Human is actually able to draw the Elf Holy Bow? This world is too crazy!"
Watching Lingyun draw the Elf Holy Bow, Dewalin could not help but open his mouth wide.
Lingyun had no mind to explain anything to Dewalin. Behind him, two light wings slowly unfolded—one shimmering with golden light, the other burning with red flames.
Golden-red light flowed from Lingyun's hand, slowly condensing into a golden-red arrow on the Elf Holy Bow. Jade-green light bloomed from the bow body, carving green runes onto the arrow shaft one after another.
"Roar—"
When the arrow, condensed from Purification Light, Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and Natural Power, appeared, a roar suddenly erupted from the depths of Luoxia Valley.
In everyone's sight, the previously calm Luoxia Valley suddenly boiled over. Amidst the rolling mist, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared within the fog, rushing rapidly toward Lingyun's direction. As it drew closer, they realized it was a Strange Beast standing six or seven meters tall, exuding a ferocious aura, its sharp teeth and claws flashing with soul-chilling cold light.
"This is a Strange Beast formed by the condensation of Demon Qi. Lingyun's attack must have made the Demon Qi feel a crisis. It seems this attack will definitely be effective!"
Seeing this scene, Dewalin's expression turned stern. He gripped the hammer in his hand tightly, and wisps of electric sparks spilled from it. Having already fought such things, he naturally knew something about this type of Strange Beast. He stepped forward, appearing beside Lingyun, and raised his hammer high, ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.
"Get lost! Wrath of the Thunder God!"
Just as the Strange Beast rushed to the front of Lingyun, Dewalin suddenly leaped up. Even the Strange Beast had not expected a dwarf to jump so high. With this leap, Dewalin jumped directly to a height level with the beast's eyes, and the hammer in his hand, flashing with electric sparks, smashed heavily onto the beast's forehead with the force of a thunderbolt.
"Boom—"
Under Dewalin's heavy blow, the Strange Beast's head was smashed fiercely into the ground. The ground was gouged into a large pit by the beast's head, and the entire beast stood upside down under the massive impact, looking extremely comical. Subsequently, a massive pillar of thunder shot into the sky, and the Strange Beast, enveloped by the thunder pillar, let out a shrill wail, completely reduced to ashes within the pillar.
A massive shockwave swept outward, and even the Demon Qi at the valley entrance was dispersed quite a bit. However, on Lingyun's side, the shockwave dissipated into nothingness before it could reach him, which was enough to show the high degree of control Dewalin had over his own attacks.
"Hit—"
The moment the Strange Beast was reduced to ashes by the thunder pillar, Lingyun released his right hand, and the golden-red arrow instantly turned into a streak of light, drilling straight into the valley.
