Chapter 792: Old Friend?

This time, continuous firepower kept bombarding for three or four minutes.

"Almost done, we can stop."

Su Sheng looked at the city gate and spoke.

If they could be killed by bombardment, this few minutes of focused fire should have killed them outright.

If they still aren't dead at this level, continuing to bombard would just be futile.

As everyone stopped, the flames at the gate began to gradually fade.

Gone…

As the fire faded, the gate's position was fully revealed.

Nothing left…

The vines that had previously overrun the entire gate are finally gone…

Seeing this, Su Sheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

No matter who that guy is, he wanted to disgust himself.

For now, it's considered resolved.

"Elf? No… a half-elf?"

Just then, a faint voice came from above.

Everyone froze.

Su Sheng looked up immediately and noticed that, at some point, a figure dressed in black and wearing a large hood had appeared on the city wall.

Although wearing a large hood, it could be seen that she was facing toward Lin Huan and Li Wanwan.

Combined with her words, it was clear she was looking at Lin Huan!

The half-elf referred to is none other than Lin Huan, who had transferred to an Elf Ranger.

"Who are you?" Su Sheng raised his eyebrows.

Although this should be an NPC.

Moreover… it looks like these vines were created by this NPC, not some enemy coming to disgust me.

Su Sheng already had a vague suspicion in his mind.

The figure's hood swayed slightly, turning toward Su Sheng.

"You can destroy my vitality thorns—you've got some skill."

"But… who I am isn't important; you must be the human lord of this territory, right? That tree… where did you get it from?"

The hooded female NPC spoke… as for why we know she's female, it's because her voice is feminine.

"You're an elf, right." Su Sheng grinned.

Indeed.

That figure's body visibly tensed slightly.

After a while, the voice finally came out.

"Human, answer me."

YiSiLanDiEr had already told me about this situation earlier.

There would be elves wandering the continent drawn over…

And the hooded figure before us now is likely the elf drawn here, and those vines just now were probably her means.

However, just a simple vine trap left them somewhat helpless.

It's estimated that this elf's level far exceeds their current stage.

"Your Esteemed Elfness, if you want to know anything, you can come with me to see that tree."

Su Sheng showed a smile.

This isn't… a 'labor force' delivered to our door, is it?

Although I don't know exactly what level this elf is, and I have no means to subdue her, the thorn trap she's shown so far is anything but ordinary.

Furthermore, the Elf Kingdom has been destroyed for who knows how long; any elf still capable of wandering the continent alone must be absolutely strong.

As long as she meets YiSiLanDiEr…

Hehe…

Meanwhile, she was clearly thinking, and after a moment she slowly nodded.

"Good."

Then she lightly flashed down from the city wall, and when she reappeared, she was already before Su Sheng.

"Lead the way."

"Follow me." Su Sheng didn't waste words, turned and led the way.

Around, a group of solo players watched curiously.

Elf?

In the game's background, the Elf Kingdom has been extinct for a long time, and the newly born elf race is almost nonexistent.

Even if any are born, they're just ordinary elves, not the noble elves born of the World Tree… after all, the World Tree is gone.

However, the elf race itself is long-lived, so it's estimated that any elves still wandering the continent today are mostly remnants of the former Elf Kingdom.

Su Sheng brought that mysterious elf, heading straight for the town center.

As they approached, the mysterious elf lifted her head, clearly looking at the Primordial Tree above.

As the Primordial Tree's volume changed, the area covered by its canopy grew more spacious, having already spread out from the town center.

It will definitely continue to spread afterward.

I just don't know if it will directly cover the whole Yanhuang Town.

As for whether it will block the sunlight, there's no need to worry—ordinary trees grown like this will definitely block all the sunlight.

However, I don't know what principle this Primordial Tree works by, even though its branches and leaves are especially lush.

But the sunlight can always filter down through the gaps in its branches and leaves… you can see from the flowers and grasses growing well underneath it.

Soon, Su Sheng brought this mysterious elf all the way to the town center.

Behind them, some Yanhuang people followed.

As for those ordinary players who came along just to watch the spectacle, they had no permission to enter the town center and were all kept outside.

"We're here."

Su Sheng stood beneath the Primordial Tree.

The mysterious elf stood there dazed, obviously looking at this Primordial Tree.

"Your Majesty YiSiLanDiEr, would you mind coming down for a moment? It seems an old acquaintance of yours has arrived."

While the mysterious elf was standing there dazed, Su Sheng suddenly looked up and shouted toward the treetop.

As for why I say it's an old acquaintance…

Based on the game's background story as he currently understands it, Su Sheng inferred that, given the mysterious elf's strength, it absolutely could not be a new-generation elf.

Elves are indeed a long-lived race, but their strength grows comparatively slowly.

And when that mysterious elf heard Su Sheng's call, its whole body suddenly shuddered.

"Impossible!"

The mysterious elf's sharp voice rang out.

But just then, the Primordial Tree's aerial roots connected to form a staircase.

A figure slowly descended.

Although he still appeared as an old scholar, YiSiLanDiEr's gaze was locked onto that mysterious elf.

"Indeed… there's a familiar aura."

YiSiLanDiEr spoke somewhat emotionally, his eyes scanning the mysterious elf before him.

It could be seen that, at this moment, the mysterious elf's body was trembling slightly.

"Is it you?"

YiSiLanDiEr spoke softly.

At this moment, the mysterious elf reached out a hand, lowered its hood, revealing a delicate, beautiful face… plus a head of emerald-green hair and pointed ears that were especially conspicuous.

This appearance, compared to the elf-version of Huan Jie in the game, is in no way inferior.

Just…

Su Sheng's expression turned somewhat strange.

The mysterious elf's face, Su Sheng vaguely made out some familiar traces… a beauty that could overthrow nations, Gu Qingcheng?!

Well…

Su Sheng realized, the mysterious elf's visage was probably modeled after Gu Qingcheng's appearance and then shaped that way.

Anyway, the portrait rights to Gu Qingcheng have long been in Teng Long Company's hands.

They can use it however they like.

Pa~

All that could be seen was that, at this moment, the mysterious elf suddenly dropped to one knee, bowing its head…
