Chapter 214: The Elf Princess's Overbearing Friendship

Lin Yifan slightly moved his limbs, confirmed that Su Xiao xi on his back would not hinder his actions, then prepared to set out.

However, before setting out, he still gave an order:

"Xiao xi, just hide in the pot, try not to fight recklessly to avoid injury."

Su Xiao xi was curled up entirely inside the large iron pot, speaking in a muffled voice:

"Brother Yifan, I understand!"

"Alright, then I'll take you out!" Lin Yifan took a deep breath, carefully listening to the movements outside the door.

Have to say, this group of goblins is really quite cautious!

After his volley just now, there's actually been no movement until now; they probably think they can't fly away, so they're not rushing to attack.

It's also possible the goblins are too timid, so after realizing Lin Yifan isn't easy to deal with, they simply fled.

But that probability is very low!

Lin Yifan doesn't know much about goblins, but any race that can survive in this world absolutely cannot be timid.

So they must be waiting for an opportunity!

However, this actually gives Lin Yifan an opportunity!

Although the level-three shelter has only one main gate, that doesn't mean other places can't be entered or exited.

Especially Su Xiao xi's level-three shelter, which is just the most ordinary shelter.

Although there are protective bars on the window, they can be pushed open from inside.

So Lin Yifan, carrying Su Xiao xi, climbed out directly through the window and then sneaked into the dense forest.

However, these goblins are really smart; there are actually goblins guarding behind the shelter as well.

Lin Yifan's movements were immediately detected by them!

That's why, because there are only two goblins here, Lin Yifan can smoothly and easily break through the encirclement and enter the forest.

"Boss! Those two humans ran away!"

And those two goblins that discovered Lin Yifan immediately started shouting loudly to call for help.

Soon, those goblins came chasing while shouting strangely!

Their speed is very fast; even with Lin Yifan's Swift Wind Boots, the distance between him and the goblins keeps shrinking.

The number of goblins is close to twenty; if they really surround him, escaping won't be easy.

Lin Yifan thought, then directly took out the Wind-Chasing Cloud-Breaking Bow from his Space Ring, shooting arrows while running and looking back; the arrows already had built-in aim, saving him a lot of trouble.

"Brother Yifan, there's a swamp ahead; we can shake them off there!" Su Xiao xi pointed ahead through the crack in the iron pot and said.

Lin Yifan nodded and followed Su Xiao xi in changing direction.

Just as they were about to enter the swamp area, a black shadow suddenly lunged from the side!

"Careful!" Lin Yifan fiercely rolled on the ground, thus avoiding being hit directly.

Also fortunate that he was carrying the large iron pot, keeping Su Xiao xi protected inside; otherwise that blow would surely have injured her.

Lin Yifan didn't have time to worry about Su Xiao xi, immediately looking at the thing attacking him.

Upon closer look, it turned out to be a huge wolf, appearing very similar to the wild wolves he had seen before.

Its fur was also gray-black, with a wolf's head and tail, everything complete.

But the difference is, this wolf stood upright on its two hind legs!!

"It's a werewolf!" Su Xiao xi, seeing the werewolf through the crack, immediately recognized its identity.

But upon hearing this, Lin Yifan's brows furrowed immediately:

"How could werewolves appear here? Aren't they supposed to be at the boundary stone?"

The werewolf before him stared at Lin Yifan with a greedy face, foul-smelling saliva continuously dripping.

"Human...... delicious flesh......" The werewolf opened its bloody maw, lunging at Lin Yifan again, trying to bite off his neck.

At the critical moment, a feather arrow pierced through the air and directly shot through the werewolf's eye.

The werewolf let out a mournful howl, releasing its claws.

Lin Yifan seized the opportunity, drew his dagger, and fiercely stabbed it into the werewolf's throat.

"Brother Yifan!" Su Xiao xi behind him hurriedly asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Lin Yifan shook his head, looking toward the direction the arrow came from.

All that could be seen was a girl with green wings flying out from the forest.

The girl was very beautiful, her features so exquisite as to be hard to imagine; even movie stars would pale in comparison when placed before her.

But her eyes were emerald green, and she also had a pair of pointed ears.

From this appearance, her identity was clear at a glance!

"Elf race?" Lin Yifan asked, narrowing his eyes.

Airui Liya slowly descended from the sky, stood before Lin Yifan, tilted her head and said:

"You actually know I'm an elf?"

Lin Yifan's face was full of vigilance, but he didn't immediately attack; instead he spoke cautiously:

"Your appearance matches the characteristics of the elf race."

"I see." Airui Liya suddenly understood, turned her head to glance at the goblins still chasing this way, and asked sincerely:

"Your troubles seem many; do you need my help?"

Lin Yifan was somewhat confused about what this elf actually wanted to do.

But this elf's appearance differs greatly from the elf he encountered last time.

So much that he couldn't help wondering whether this elf's race was different from that of the previous batch of elves.

Moreover, in Lin Yifan's impression, the elf race should be kind, but the influence that those elves in his past life had on him was completely different from his understanding.

But the female elf before him actually matched his impression of elves quite well.

However, this world is too strange!

Although his understanding of the other races isn't particularly clear, there is one thing he can basically be sure of: these other races are still fighting over survival resources.

So even though the female elf before him was beautiful and had just helped him, Lin Yifan dared not trust her casually; instead, he grew increasingly wary and said:

Why are you helping me?

I naturally have my own reasons." Eriolia did not immediately explain, because the goblins that had been chasing them arrived.

However, the goblins that had been arrogant when facing Lin Yifan immediately showed a look of facing a great enemy upon seeing Airiliya.

Soon, a slightly older-looking goblin stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Eriolia, and then spoke:

Your Highness Princess Airiliya, we are the expedition team of the Ashde Tribe entering the Initial Domain this time; I am the team leader, Modra. May I ask why you have stopped us?

This is actually an elf princess?

Lin Yifan heard this and immediately glanced at Eriolia in surprise.

Could it be that she looks a bit better because she's a princess?

Or is it that she became a princess because she looks good?

Lin Yifan's mind wandered with random thoughts, but at that moment, Su Xiao xi, who was lying on his back, whispered:

Brother Yifan, this elf princess is very strong! Very dangerous!

Hearing this, Lin Yifan hurriedly asked:

Can your talent see others' life tiers?

Su Xiao xi shook her head. 'I can't see it, but in my eyes everyone has a life light; the stronger the life light, the higher the life tier.'

Brother Yifan, before encountering this elf princess, your life light was the strongest I had ever seen, but the princess's life light intensity is actually twice yours.

This shows the elf princess is very strong! Her life tier is extremely high! If we were to clash with her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Yifan's mood suddenly grew much heavier, but judging from the current situation, the elf princess shows no obvious hostility toward him.

Even just now she helped him, which counts as good news!

At that moment, the elf princess waved her hands twice, a delicate smile appearing on her petite face as she apologetically said:

'It turns out to be Elder Modra; I'm glad to see you. I didn't dare disturb your actions, but these two humans are my friends—I hope, Elder, for my sake, you won't treat them as prey!'

Upon hearing this, not only Lin Yifan was stunned, but Modra also stood frozen in place.

He furrowed his brows, somewhat dissatisfied, and said:

'But Princess Eriolia, we spent a lot of money to buy the Precision Locator from the Peter Auction House, and we put in considerable effort to capture a survivor, which allowed us to pinpoint this district as number one.'

'You know we entered the Initial Domain to gather resources; this person being able to become district number one surely means he has many valuable resources, and if we capture him, our mission this time can be completed.'

'But now you're letting them go, which not only wastes our earlier effort but also loses us an extremely precious Precision Locator Charm—a loss we cannot afford.'

'Then I'll leave your lives here—would that make you able to bear the loss?' Airiliya's sweet smile instantly turned into icy killing intent.

'No, Princess Eriolia, you can't do that; our goblin tribe and your natural elf tribe are allies...' Modrad never expected Eriolia to turn hostile in an instant.

However, he was ultimately a step too late; Airiliya's jade-green bow instantly rose, a green light arrow condensing at her fingertip, which upon release instantly turned into a dense net of arrows.

The arrow net directly covered all the goblins; more than twenty of them vanished in a puff of white light without even a scream.

Only Modrad had a gray light shield appear on him, still struggling to hold.

He gritted his teeth, angrily glaring at Eriolia and said:

'Airiliya, you are openly tearing up the pact between our tribes; I will certainly tell the chieftain, and you will surely pay the price!'

'Do as you wish!' Eriolia's expression didn't change at all as she raised her hand and shot another green light arrow.

This light sword directly pierced the light on Modrad's body, then went through his torso.

Modrad lowered his head to glance at his chest, twitched his lips, but before he could utter a final word, he turned into a white light and vanished.

Lin Yifan watched the decisive, merciless Eriolia, and his scalp tingled involuntarily.

This princess is obviously a big boss!

Leaving aside other things, just those two arrows earlier, he absolutely couldn't block them!

Moreover, he could be certain that the arrows Eriolia shot all came with built-in aiming!

Airiliya's brick head, looking at Lin Yifan's face full of sibling affection, let out a scoff: 'What are you afraid of? I said you two are my friends, so I naturally won't hurt you!'

Lin Yifan's wariness did not diminish in the slightest, and he slowly asked:

'You are the honored princess of the elf race, while we are merely ordinary humans; I don't think we are worthy to be your friends.'

'Of course I'm grateful for your help in dealing with those goblins; if you have anything you need me to do, just speak up—I will certainly not delay if I can do it.'

'I don't need you to do anything!' Airiliya raised her hand, and the green longbow he had been holding instantly turned into a green vine tucked into her hair.

The green light wings on her back also retracted, and even her ears became about the same size as a human's.

Seen this way, she is simply a delicately featured girl, and no one would think she belongs to the elf race.

Moreover, she didn't even walk up to Lin Yifan, but with an innocent look said:

'Lin Yifan, why do you keep rejecting me? I've helped you twice already—you should at least accept me as a friend.'

'Besides, I am a natural elf, the embodiment of goodness and purity—how could you refuse the friendship of a natural elf?'

'Goodness?' Lin Yifan wordlessly glanced at the werewolf's corpse and the scattered green treasure chests left behind by the dead goblins.

With a raise of her hand, dozens of lives?

And this is still goodness and purity?

Lin Yifan had always thought his skin wasn't thin, but compared to Eriolia, he really falls far short!

Eriolia, however, was utterly unaffected; instead, she shrugged her shoulders and said with an indifferent expression:

'What's the big deal? I'm a natural elf, not one of those white angels who pretend to be good all day while actually full of evil. Those who have provoked me I naturally won't go easy on.'

'Oh well, quit all that nonsense—I said you two are my friends, so you are friends of the Second Princess, Princess Airiliya of the Natural Elf Tribe!'

Moreover, the fight over the Boundary Stone has already heated up—are you sure you still want to waste time talking nonsense with me here instead of rushing over to seize the Boundary Stone?

Don't blame me for speaking harshly! I only befriend the strong; as for those slaves controlled by others, I'm sorry, they aren't qualified to be my friend!

I think there's nothing worthwhile about them living—when the time comes, I'll personally send you on your way!

Lin Yifan's face froze instantly; he was indeed in a hurry to go seize the Boundary Stone.

But he really hadn't expected that Airuiliya could speak so bluntly!

Moreover, from her gaze you could tell his words were earnest.

Although she unilaterally lumped Lin Yifan and Su Xiao xi together as friends, it's obvious their friendship is weaker than a sheet of paper.

If they really fall into the hands of the foreign race, then he and Su Xiao xi probably won't even have a chance to strive.
