Chapter 3447: Undercurrent

Elf Capital Pandalan, in the farmland a few kilometers ahead.

Looking from afar, the Elf Capital is very beautiful, like a fairyland on earth, but after approaching, it is found that it carries a bit of fireworks, such as the cooking smoke floating up from the buildings, the farmland on the open ground in front of the city, and the lop-eared dogs in the farmland.

These lop-eared dogs are not particularly large in size, and can only be considered medium-to-large dogs. Some of them lie in the fields, while others gather in groups of three or five.

Don't underestimate them because of their personality and silly eyes. They are only friendly to humanoid creatures and are mainly responsible for guarding the farmland, on duty 24 hours a day. Once a large herbivore group approaches, they never fight alone. A few barks call all the surrounding peers, swarming up, very un-martial.

Even when facing some large extraordinary wild boars, they dare to confront them hard, and because they are medium-to-large dogs, their appetite is not too big, and they eat everything as omnivores.

In this boundless field, don't provoke lop-eared dogs. After you beat a lop-eared dog until it flees, in less than 2 minutes, it will bring hundreds of brothers and chase you until your shoes fall off.

In this world, the Elf Clan both farms and hunts. Plus the fishing industry at the port, this satisfies the food consumption brought by a population of 50 million.

In terms of hunting, hunting dogs are a must. In terms of farming, because it is close to the Hot Jungle, it is necessary to prevent herbivore groups from harming crops. Therefore, the relationship between the Elf Clan and lop-eared dogs is a thousand-year domestication and feeding relationship.

Lop-eared dogs eat the least food, do the most work, and are loyal to their masters. Anyone likes this kind of hunting dog.

Su Xiao walked on the path in the wheat field. Not far away, there was a lop-eared dog. Its lower body was blocked by the yellow wheat field, only revealing its dog head. Its expression was exceptionally serious, constantly looking around. It was almost the harvest season, and it had been under a lot of pressure recently.

"Xiang Bubu, look at how serious people work."

Baha teased.

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu barked at the lop-eared dog in the field, and the lop-eared dog looked over here: "Woof? Woof."

"Woof woof woof..."

Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang and the lop-eared dog started to communicate. Presumably, the content was roughly: Hello, I am a dog. The opposite side replied: Hello, I am one too.

Su Xiao signaled Xiang Bubu to act freely. In the near future, it is highly likely that there will be no direct conflict with the Elf Clan.

When Su Xiao walked out of the wheat field, he looked in the direction where Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang was. Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang was already surrounded by several lop-eared dogs. It looked like Ignoring Xiang Bubu Wang was holding a meeting for those few lop-eared dogs.

"This..."

Aiduoer wanted to spit out a slot, but for a while, she didn't know what to say.

Under the guidance of the local Laige, Su Xiao successfully entered the Elf Capital. Although there were many elf guards at several checkpoints, as long as they were humanoid intelligent creatures, they would not block them.

The hot temperature in the south made the elf clan's clothing relatively cool, and the humid climate made the elf girls' skin fair and delicate.

The elf girls passing by on the street made people regain confidence in the appearance of the elf clan. After all, when seeing the long-faced Laige for the first time, it would give people a sense of "Holy shit, the elf clan originally looks like this?"

The exotic architectural style on both sides of the street made people see the elf clan's pursuit of aesthetics and exquisiteness.

Su Xiao stopped at a small stall on the street. After tasting several snacks of the elf clan, he found that the taste of these snacks was relatively light, and few spices were used. Spicy or fishy spicy, etc., were not accepted by the elf clan.

The earthy yellow square stones on the street were very neat. There were bookstores, restaurants, tailor shops, etc., on the street. In the center of the street, which was over 8 meters wide, there was a steel rail. Two horned rhinos pulled three carriages connected front to back and stopped. This was a public train, stopping at fixed points, and one could not get on or off during the journey, similar to a bus.

Although the technology of the elf clan was not advanced, it was not backward. Electricity had been developed and was mostly used for lighting. In a world with extraordinary power, electricity could not be well developed, as there were too many energy sources better than it.

When Su Xiao passed by a narrow alley, slightly rapid breathing sounds came from inside. He turned his head to look. The openness of the elf clan exceeded his expectations.

Baha asked: "Are you elves all so open?"

"That's for sure, but it is said that it was not so enlightened before. Everyone, welcome to Elf Capital Pandalan."

Laige was accustomed to the scene in the alley.

After a while, Su Xiao stopped at a road sign. After waiting for a while, Baha returned, already holding a money bag in his claws.

Opening the money bag, Su Xiao estimated that there were about a hundred coins inside. This coin was called "Seer," which was actually a kind of silver coin, a few circles larger than a one-yuan coin, and the feel was a few points heavier than silver of the same volume, and it should also contain other value-preserving objects.

Compared to precious metals such as gold and blue tin, the elf clan preferred silver, which represented lightness and purity.

"Seer," which is silver coins, had high purchasing power. Below it were "Buma" and "Nashie," which were crystal-quality and iron-quality coins, respectively. According to the size, pattern, and the difference in the numbers on them, the purchasing power was determined.

Paper currency also existed, but it was not as commonly used as imagined. The elf clan had many facilities that required coins to be used, such as the public train Su Xiao was waiting for.

Ding ling~

The public train stopped, and the train bell rang due to the shaking produced when the carriage stopped. Su Xiao took out two "Nashie" with a face value of 5 from the money bag and put them into the coin box.

After getting on the public train, about ten seconds later, the vehicle set off. Su Xiao looked at the city map posted inside the opposite carriage. He was going to the Central Park, which was the location of the Initial Tree. There were three stops from here to the Central Park.

In the adjacent seat, a pair of elf young lovers were kissing each other. Opposite was a wandering man with dull eyes. The wandering man took off the hoodie covered with thread ends, revealing the keratinized skin on his face, like an ugly crocodile skin.

Su Xiao found that Laige nearby dared not look at the wandering man opposite anymore, and the young lovers who were kissing just now were also honest, sitting there without saying a word.

"Foreign friends, welcome to Pandalan."

The wandering man smiled without a smile. Because Su Xiao had restrained his aura at this time, it was normal for someone to take the initiative to talk.

"..."

Su Xiao took out a bottle of wine and threw it to the wandering man opposite.

"Generous traveler, give you a piece of advice: don't drink the groundwater in the city, unless you want to become like me."

The wandering man popped open the wine bottle with a pop and poured the wine into his throat. This was a person whose life was coming to an end.

The public carriage stopped at the station. The wandering man got up with some difficulty. After walking a few steps, he spoke again: "Outsider, give you another piece of advice: I became like this, not because I 'ate' too much red crystal grease, but because a valve in my brain can't be closed, hehehehe, hahaha~"

The wandering man laughed strangely and got off the train. Seeing this, Laige and the pair of young lovers breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is red crystal grease?"

Hearing Su Xiao's question, Laige replied: "Red crystal grease is a kind of contraband."

"Hallucinogen?"

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Laige's gaze had a short period of wandering.

Su Xiao began to close his eyes and rest. The sights and sounds after entering the Elf Capital made him feel a bit of disharmony.

From the perspective of cultural inheritance, the Elf Clan was not so open before. Not to mention that they would not be pure if they were touched by a small hand, but there would never be three-person sports in the alley, or kissing on the lap in the public train.

Su Xiao pondered, and the public train arrived at the station again. It was still one stop away from the Central Park, and Su Xiao chose to get off early.

Not long after, a bookstore came into view. Su Xiao walked into the bookstore, and when he walked out, Laige and Aiduoer behind him were holding a large pile of books.

Finding a bench on the street, Su Xiao began to flip through the books in his hands at a glance. These were all books on humanities, history, and personal biographies. He wanted to understand the era background.

Quickly flipping through dozens of books, Su Xiao learned a lot of intelligence. First of all, the Elf Clan was not so open before. Probably 150 years ago, the Elf Clan still retained the lifelong marriage system.

The so-called lifelong marriage system is that regardless of whether the male or female party is widowed, the other party is not allowed to marry a new love. And the monogamy system had been a regulation at the bill level for more than 700 years. If one dared to be polygamous or polyandrous, men would be burned at the stake, and women would be drowned.

All of this gradually collapsed starting more than 700 years ago. The first thing the Elf Clan abandoned was loyalty, followed by changes in love and wedding views. Nowadays, many elves advocate temporary marriage, which is marriage with a time limit.

A more intuitive manifestation is that in the past ten years, the number of people engaged in flesh business in the Elf Capital has soared, and some are not even for money, just for fun.

And all kinds of alcoholic beverages, especially strong liquor, have also become increasingly popular among the Elf Clan in recent years.

In the past two years, a hallucinogen called red crystal grease has become popular. Long-term consumption of this artificial extract will cause keratinization like crocodile skin on the skin, just like the wandering man seen before.

The life of the Elf Clan is becoming more and more extravagant and degenerate, which is a qualitative change from their proud and elegant ancestors.

This feels like, with generation after generation of reproduction, the willpower of the Elf Clan is getting weaker and weaker, and desires, alcohol, hallucinogens, etc., are beginning to be valued by them.

As an extraordinary ethnic group that can occupy such a large territory in the south, this is clearly abnormal. Su Xiao estimated that this might be one of the evil consequences of the Elf Clan using soul power to activate the "Talent Awakening Device."

Putting down the last book in his hand, Su Xiao walked forward along the pedestrian road on the street. Aiduoer, who was following him, was full of doubts. If she entered a place for the first time, she would definitely think of ways to contact the official agencies of this place, such as the government, royal family, etc.

In Aiduoer's view, Su Xiao seemed to be wasting time. After coming to the Elf Capital, he was like traveling, tasting snacks, experiencing local transportation, and even buying a pile of biographies? This made Aiduoer feel very confused.

In fact, Aiduoer ignored a problem. It is normal for a stranger to come to the Elf Capital and do these things. If one wants to climb up to the dignitaries as soon as they arrive, they will always be suspected and vigilant.

Aiduoer had a mistake in her thinking. She was promoted to the Eighth Tier all the way. After entering an unfamiliar region, her instinctive thought was to become a "worker" for the local dignitaries first, and then make trouble.

Su Xiao did the opposite. He never took the initiative to contact those dignitaries. He let those dignitaries take the initiative to find him and try every means to win him over.

This is the difference between being a "worker" and a "wild dad." A "worker" will be suspected, tested, guarded against, and ordered around, while a "wild dad" must be served, and must be polite when speaking to the "wild dad."

After Su Xiao walked for two blocks, the number of people in front increased, almost crowded. After asking a peddler, he learned that there was a gathering protest in front, not against the royal family, but against a private water delivery company, on the grounds that their water delivery price was too expensive.

Along the way, Su Xiao heard several times that the groundwater in the city had problems in the past few months. In contrast, the business of the water delivery company was booming. After supply exceeded demand, the price skyrocketed.

Groundwater problems are a big deal. Reasonably speaking, the royal family and several major clans should react immediately, but they didn't.

A piece of news caught Su Xiao's attention. The one who first discovered that the groundwater in "Elf Capital," or "Bei City," had problems was not an individual, but the royal family representing the official. What is even more incredible is that the royal family announced this news to the public without taking any measures. This is also the inducement for the water delivery company to go crazy and collect money.

When certain terrible things are about to happen, the best way to cover them up is not to block the news, but to throw out a matter related to everyone.

The groundwater incident in "Bei City" has been making noise for months. The royal family's attitude is to let the public not drink groundwater first, and they will solve the water problem as soon as possible.

Some residents in the city didn't believe this at all. As a result, they drank groundwater for months without any problems. For a time, it was rumored among the people that the royal family and the water delivery company were secretly united.

At this moment, besieging the water delivery company is not only because the price is expensive, but also because the residents in the city feel cheated and are looking for this water delivery company to refund money.

Boom!

A loud noise came from the next block, followed by the screams of the crowd and the crying of children. The scene, which was already a bit chaotic, became a mess at this moment.

Su Xiao stood still and watched for a while, then walked toward the Central Park. There was excitement to watch in the "Lanyu Block," but there were few people in the Central Park. A few minutes later, Su Xiao arrived under the Initial Tree.

The height of this Initial Tree was also over a thousand meters, and the diameter of the trunk was over 90 meters. It looked very straight, and the huge crown almost covered the entire Central Park.

Su Xiao leaped onto the protruding tree roots, took out the 【Ancient Statue】, and pressed it against the rough bark of the Initial Tree.

Wave~

A subtle fluctuation spread. A total of three eyes opened on the back of the statue in Su Xiao's hand, representing that three Initial Trees had been recorded.

Su Xiao took out a 【Dark Stone】. This dark stone melted rapidly and submerged into the Initial Tree.

On the trunk of the Initial Tree, a small area of bark faded to the surroundings, revealing a key-shaped groove.

Su Xiao raised his hand and pressed it up, immediately feeling his soul energy gradually consuming. After consuming a small part, his soul energy formed a key in the groove of the trunk. Taking out this semi-transparent key, a prompt appeared.

【Prompt: You obtained Soul Arena Key (limited to personal use).】

【This item can exist for 15 natural days, and will dissipate on its own after 15 natural days.】

The "Soul Arena" is not far from the "Bei City" where he is now. Su Xiao is not prepared to go for the time being. Finding the "Talent Awakening Device" is more important.

Su Xiao put away the key, and an aura rushed down from above. He paused his hand pressing toward the hilt, but instead raised his arm flatly.

A black bird landed on his forearm. This black bird was made of black smoke, and its eyes were ghost flames.

The black bird opened its mouth wide, and a small hand with six fingers, with little fingers on both sides and no thumb, reached out from the black bird's mouth. The palm of this small hand split open, appearing a mouth full of sharp teeth, making a strange sound that could not be understood.

In the ears of others, it was a strange sound, but in Su Xiao's ears, Wood's voice was vaguely revealed.

"Already found... Priest, Xianji, Crow Woman, they... are also... in Bei City. This time... investigation... cost... is very high, add money..."

Slap~!

The black bird was pinched and exploded by Su Xiao. Adding money is impossible.

Priest, Xianji, and Crow Woman have all come. This is a very troublesome matter. What is even more fatal is that these people arrived in Bei City earlier than himself. If it was Xianji leading the team, that's fine. With Xianji's style, it must be finding a suitable place to ambush himself.

Analyzing the situation, it is highly likely that Priest is leading the team. If so, Priest has a 70% probability of having already contacted the Elf Royal Family, that is, the High Elves.

This is a very dangerous situation. Su Xiao has used similar methods to kill many strong enemies, among which the typical one is Feishi.

Su Xiao spent nearly two days from "Edge Woodland" to "Bei City." Conversely, if Priest and his team really used teleportation props to arrive here, they had two more days to contact the Elf Royal Family.

No, with the old cunning degree of the Gray Gentleman and Priest, they are highly likely to have contacted the Elf Royal Family earlier, or even established cooperation or alliance relations.

What needs to be done now is a powerful and strong counterattack. Su Xiao pulled the hood lower, only letting outsiders see the lower half of his face.

Looking at the time, Su Xiao sat on the bench in the park and took out two silver coins from the money bag and threw them to Laige.

Laige was stunned after receiving them, and then put the silver coins into his arms. He sincerely said: "Thank you for saving my life."

"I am a pharmacist myself, and I just happened to need a tour guide at that time. No need to thank me, it's just your good luck."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Laige thanked him repeatedly before leaving somewhat reluctantly.

Laige's reluctance was not because Su Xiao had personal charm, or because he shocked the world and took Laige as a little brother, but because Laige noticed that Su Xiao, Wood, and Zuiyasi were not ordinary people, and wanted to mix with Su Xiao and the others for a while to see if he could get some benefits to seek a way out.

In fact, Su Xiao did need a local, but Laige was ordinary in all aspects. Saving someone casually and saving an elf prince was something that would only happen in stories.

As for killing Laige to silence him, doing so would be a blood loss. If operated well, Laige might even become the key to victory. The other party was indeed just an ordinary elf, with no advantages and no background, but he was an elf who had lived in the "Bei City" neighboring city for 29 years. As long as this point was utilized well, many things would be accomplished.

In the park, Su Xiao, sitting on the bench, took out the terminal and began to play the DLC of the puzzle-solving game. This DLC was difficult, and he wanted to find Pi Pang a few times to "visit" him.

The park in the sunset was very peaceful. This peace lasted for more than half an hour before Aiduoer couldn't sit still. She hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but say:

"Bai Ye, we should do something."

Aiduoer's attitude was completely different from before. Thinking about it, if everything went well, she could eventually get 【Angel's Will】 as a reward.

If Su Xiao lost, not to mention 【Angel's Will】, Aiduoer estimated that she would highly likely become 100 points of slaughter merit, which also led to her being more anxious than Su Xiao now, urgently hoping that Su Xiao would do something.

"Aiduoer, tell you a bad news."

Baha sighed, his expression revealing a bit of "desolation."

"You say."

Aiduoer had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"According to my observation, Priest and his team arrived earlier than us and have already made contact with Elf King Kerenwei."

"Then we..."

Aiduoer was a bit panicked.

"Now this is their territory.

Feng walked out of the crowd and walked toward Xianji. Xianji, who was standing there alone, was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Feng, who didn't look very smart, would support her.

Feng didn't walk a few steps before being forcibly pulled back by Shouhao, who asked: "Do you know what standing on that side represents?"

"Isn't it time to eat?"

Feng looked at Shouhao ignorantly.

"Hahahaha."

"As expected of you."

Most of the rule-breakers were holding back laughter. Offending Xianji was a very terrifying thing.

Shouhao pulled Feng back into the crowd, like a teacher disciplining a disobedient primary school student, holding Feng's back collar and kicking her. Feng calmly continued to eat carrots, with a very good appetite.

Unlike others' secret mockery, seeing Feng's action of walking out of the crowd just now, the smile that Priest had always maintained on his face disappeared for a moment.

"Everyone, I support Xianji's plan to continue hunting down Bai Ye."

As soon as Priest said this, the rule-breakers felt very confused. Just a moment ago, he was still on the opposite side of Xianji.

"At the current stage, any one of us needs Xianji's leadership. Although her IQ..."

Hearing this, Xianji interrupted: "Cough! If you can speak, speak more."

"Sorry, I misspoke. I accidentally told the truth. Everyone, although Xianji is resourceful..."

"You damn!"

Xianji really couldn't hold it back. This was the first time she had cursed since she was a child.

"Just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Everyone, when we first landed, Bai Ye was 1 against 92, and as a result, he killed 51 people. Afterward, our pursuit in the North Continent didn't even see his shadow, and 71 people were killed in action. After these two battles, you are all afraid."

Priest's words made the rule-breakers' gazes slightly evasive. They had today's strength, and none of them were willing to admit that they were afraid, although the fact was indeed so.

"Xianji has never been afraid, because she knows that if we succeed this time, we will all be different. Before, who among you hasn't been hunted down by hunters, death rangers, battle angels, pioneers, guardians, or executioners?"

Priest looked around at the crowd. Feng made a move to raise her hand, but after Crow Woman kicked her butt, she retracted her small hand.

"Thinking of the experience of being hunted down before, now... are you still hesitating?"

"Then let's do it."

"That's right, follow Xianji to kill Kuku Lin Bai Ye."

"Everyone, don't forget, our target is not only Kuku Lin Bai Ye, Suoluomen is the second target. It is said that he is a former hunter of the Reincarnation Paradise. As long as it is a hunter of the Reincarnation Paradise, we must kill them all."

The fighting spirit of the rule-breakers recovered, and some even had the urge to fight Su Xiao to the death right now.

"Very good, everyone go back to the Ancient Capital. We seven will handle the subsequent matters."

As soon as Priest said this, the rule-breakers were confused. Listening to Priest's meaning, they didn't need them at all. It turned out that the morale-boosting just now was just to tease them.

Was Priest so bored? Of course not. This time, going deep into the South Continent, he wanted to leave insurance for himself. Priest's strongest ability was very secretive and eerie. After the pre-battle mobilization just now, he wanted to die deep in the South Continent, which was difficult.

In the end, Priest only kept Xianji, Crow Woman, Minglang, Tieshan, Shouhao, and Feng, six people, and took out a scroll from his arms. This was a long-distance teleportation scroll that could transmit at most eight units. Transmitting seven people, the performance was more stable.

"You have this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? We could have gone to the southernmost part of the continent first to investigate clearly what is needed by the Mie Fa faction."

Xianji's eyes contained anger while speaking.

"No need to investigate. Bai Ye is looking for the Talent Awakening Device. The Gray Gentleman and I have known for a long time."

Priest smiled and spoke. Hearing this, Xianji wanted to hit someone.

"Bai Ye is very strong, but... this time I resonated with 142 life souls. I don't believe he can kill me 143 times."

Priest's words made Minglang, Tieshan, and others look ugly. This old guy looked kind and gentle, but in fact, his heart was the blackest. The rule-breakers who left just now were all calculated by this old guy.

The next day, 8:00 AM.

Several birds with red bodies circled in the sky. They were attracted by the smell of blood.

The journey deep into the Hot Jungle was similar to what Su Xiao imagined. The Some Qiyuezhe upheld the principle of scraping three feet of ground. Tree spirits that could obtain soul coins after being killed were cleaned exceptionally cleanly, cleaner than a dog licking.

This place had been sealed for many years. It was no exaggeration to say that it was rich in oil. Judging from the current situation, after this wave, the tree spirit tribe would not be able to recover without a few years.

Enemies that dropped soul coins after being killed, once encountered by Some Qiyuezhe, their miserable degree was like saying a certain animal ate kidney tonic. If it had a shell, pry it open to eat; if it had thorns, pull them out. Even if it couldn't be eaten, soak it in wine. It was simply a devastating disaster.

On this journey, Su Xiao, not to mention tree spirits, didn't even see slightly larger extraordinary insects. They were cleaned up cleanly by the Some Qiyuezhe.

And a few seconds ago, Zuiyasi, who was clearing the way in front, found a seriously injured person lying in the bushes.

Su Xiao stepped forward and saw that this seriously injured person was wearing exquisite but old leather armor, pointed ears, pale skin, brown hair, and a pioneering wound on his chest. The wound had been infected and festered.

This person should be a tree elf of this world, which could also be called wood elf, high elf, secret magic elf, etc.

This was a male elf. He didn't have the handsomeness of the elf clan, but a long horse face mixed with a shoe-horn face.

"This is an elf? Isn't it said that elves are all handsome? This appearance is uglier than my brother."

Zuiyasi kicked the male elf's head while speaking, and then asked: "How to deal with it?"

Hearing this, Aiduoer mourned for the wood elf lying on the ground. The other party's luck was really bad, encountering the evil faction's boss squad. The probability of being rescued was -100%.

"Does that even need asking?"

"Of course, it's to save people."

Hearing the words of Wood and Baha, Aiduoer felt incredible. This was not the boss squad she knew.

In fact, Aiduoer was still too sweet. The view of the villain boss squad was that such seriously injured people encountered in the wild should naturally be treated. If the other party's status in the elf clan was not low, it would have great utilization value. Even if there was no status, they could use the identity of a savior to make the other party do some things.

Rescued and do nothing? Turn around and leave? It doesn't matter, just die again.

Saving people, of course, Su Xiao was responsible. Although Wood also had means in this regard, what was saved back by him might not be what it was, in short, not the original seriously injured person.

Treating the wound, injecting high-compatibility life force solution, stitching the wound with spiritual shadow lines, injecting recovery potion, injecting mental stimulant, injecting cell stimulant, and finally a big slap, the person woke up.

Aiduoer, who witnessed the whole process, had a "holy shit" expression. This last big slap was something she really didn't expect.

The male elf who received a slap trembled his eyebrows, opened his eyelids, and before he understood what was going on, Zuiyasi said: "We saved your life. You don't need to thank us specially. If you are fleeing with treasure, we don't mind you using that treasure to repay us."

"Hmm? Ah?"

The male elf was stunned. After changing his mind, he still felt the wound pain, and his spirit was also faintly fatigued. However, compared to before, his state was much better.

After being stunned, this male elf introduced himself. His name was Laige, and he originally lived in the "Elf Capital Pandalan" in the south.

A moment later, Laige, with a slightly terrified expression, holding large leaves with both hands to cover his lower body, stood in front of a tree. He sincerely said: "I really didn't flee with treasure. I couldn't mix in the Elf Capital, so I left, and as a result, I was ambushed on the way."

Zuiyasi searched his clothes and leather armor and found that except for an elf scimitar with a broken edge, there were indeed no other valuable things.

"Lost money."

Zuiyasi threw the clothes and leather armor back to Laige. After Laige was dressed, Baha asked: "As an elf, you actually mixed so miserably?"

"This..."

Laige hesitated for a while before starting to explain. He was originally a guard for a rich merchant. The entire elf clan had a population of at least 50 million, and the inheritance of the Yada civilization all relied on them.

Such a population naturally produced class division. Laige was once lucky and could be a guard for a rich merchant, so he didn't lack money.

According to Laige, once that rich merchant was attacked, Laige bravely pounced on him, helped the rich merchant block a dagger, and was stabbed into his abdomen. Afterward, he was fired.

"Damn, you blocked a knife for him, but he fired you?"

"Eh~, this, after I blocked it, it was too painful, so I didn't block the next few knives."

When Laige said this, his expression was a bit sad.

"Let's not talk about this first. Laige, have you heard of the Mushroom Prophet?"

"Of course I have heard of it. It is a celebrity in the "Sunny Wetland"."

"Oh, there is such a thing? Lead the way in front."

Baha landed on Laige's shoulder to prevent him from running away.

With Laige, a local, leading the way, and the aura of Su Xiao and others, the journey was even smoother.

It was normal that no enemies were encountered along the way before. The auras of Su Xiao, Zuiyasi, and Wood overlapped together. How many enemies would take the initiative to attack? They walked all the way, and the extraordinary wild beasts along the way bypassed or simply fled.

Under Laige's guidance, Su Xiao arrived at a wetland where fungi grew. Wherever he looked, there were many dead giant trees, and the ground was full of mushrooms and moss, or vines, and vine flowers were blooming everywhere.

After arriving at the "Sunny Wetland," Laige took a long detour. At one o'clock in the afternoon that day, Su Xiao and others arrived at a fungal village.

The surrounding area was surrounded by trees, vines, etc., enclosing this area the size of a football field. The vines above were intertwined, leaving only a large hole for normal lighting.

There was a dirt path here, with exquisite wooden houses on both sides. These houses, about two meters high, looked a bit round.

Laige pointed to the exquisite tree house built by hollowing out a large tree stump at the innermost side. This tree house was less than two meters high, with an arched roof.

Su Xiao stopped in front of the tree house door and knocked on the wooden door.

Dong dong dong.

The knocking sound entered the tree house. The furnishings in the tree house were diverse, with many pendants hanging. An old mushroom man was sitting at a low round table. It had green whiskers, its appearance was more vivid than other mushroom men, and it was also older. This was the Mushroom Prophet.

Hearing the knocking sound, the Mushroom Prophet yawned and stood up reluctantly. It leaned on a wooden staff almost as tall as it was and walked slowly to the door. While opening the door, it asked: "Who is it?"

Creak~

The door gradually opened. The Mushroom Prophet, who was a bit farsighted, narrowed its eyes and looked. It didn't see Su Xiao's appearance first, but saw Su Xiao's scabbard at his waist, the scabbard unique to the Mie Fa faction.

Seeing the Mie Fa imprint at the end of the scabbard, the Mushroom Prophet immediately recalled a name, Marvin Waltz, as well as the campfire, and the pot lid on the campfire, which made the Mushroom Prophet's brain buzz, its eyes rolled back, and it almost fainted. ===== CHAPTER 3446 =====

Su Xiao looked at the moonlight outside the window as he spoke. Things were progressing quite smoothly. By tomorrow morning at the latest, he would be able to send a "big gift" to the Priest, Xianji, Crow Girl, and the others.
