It might have been because the world was too comfortable, or perhaps because the people of this world tended to follow the rules quite strictly, so the Elves generally didn’t think anyone would dare destroy the forest right in front of them.
The entire forest was under a perfect surveillance system; as long as the forest stretched its branches, the Elves could sense it. Even high mountains and deep ravines were covered by special plants, showcasing the capabilities of the Elves in this world.
However, the world, after all, was vast, and so remote areas weren’t so easy to monitor.
When the Elves discovered the incident at Mirror Lake, three days had already passed. Upon receiving the news, the Elves were furious, completely surprised that soone would dare to harm the forest, especially with such extensive destruction.
"We cannot let this go unpunished. Through the forest’s senses, we know those people are still there. We must get there as quickly as possible, and capture them before they escape, making them pay for what they’ve done," an Elder Elf exclaid loudly, while the others also shouted in agreent. The captain of the Elven guard even stepped forward imdiately, "This matter falls within our jurisdiction, please let us handle it."
"Alright, it’s in your hands this ti. If you can’t handle it, inform us imdiately."
In this world, the Elves were accustod to reigning supre. Since the Academy had not paid much attention to this world, there had been no conflicts with the Elves, who had always thought of themselves as the true overlords.
Thus, a group of Elven guards, led by their captain, rushed towards the direction of Mirror Lake. However, even with their speed, it took several days to reach their destination. Even with flying mounts, which required rest, they couldn’t compare to Lin Yucha’s Platform Floating Cloud, which needed no rest at all.
Several days later, all the seeds in the ground had sprouted, creating a lush and lovely green expanse.
Breeding, however, was not going so well. Lin Yushi had captured a variety of wild beasts and Magical Beasts at different stages of life, but batch after batch had died. And now, yet another group had perished.
"How could this be? Aren’t Magical Beasts known for their robust vitality? Why would they still die?"
Du You rolled his eyes, "Even such resilient creatures die in your care; I have no idea how you manage that."
"Enough, enough, it’s only a few dead beasts. We’ll continue our research and eventually figure out the breeding thod. If it really cos down to it, we can hire a few people from over there," they said as a last resort, not wanting to expose themselves carelessly. A territory still in establishnt could easily encounter various unexpected events if exposed too soon.
Moreover, this was Xi Qianxue’s first territory mission. If it failed, the blow to Xi Qianxue’s confidence would be significant and might even affect Li ngyao. The two of them rarely approached any task with such seriousness.
After several more days and progressively getting into the swing of things, the breeding finally started to go smoothly, and a thod was slowly understood. However, the specifics would have to be seen over ti.
On that day, Du You suddenly looked up and stared into the distance.
"What’s going on? Is there sothing over there?" Li ngyao asked, puzzled and standing behind Du You.
Lin Yucha whispered from the side, "Soone’s coming. They’re Elves, there’s no mistaking that feeling. But their strength doesn’t seem very strong; the strongest among them are just a few fourth-tiers."
Fourth-tier, yet not very strong. Li ngyao and Xi Qianxue exchanged a helpless look. They both were fourth-tier, but in the eyes of these fifth-tier creatures, the opponents indeed were not formidable.
Du You scoffed, "Tsk, they’re really not taking us seriously, are they? Sending over a few cracked lons and jumbled dates. Listen, these guys might not even be a match for you two. Want to make so easy money?"
In Du You’s eyes, these opponents were just cannon fodder. Indeed, neither Li ngyao nor Xi Qianxue had to fear, as their skills were nurous and comprehensive. Du You wasn’t sure how many abilities they had advanced during this ti, but it was certainly not a small number. Most crucially, both had 8-star ratings and high-level bloodlines.
With all these advantages, if they couldn’t beat a bunch of Elves who had not fought in ages, that would be quite an embarrassnt. Hearing Du You’s words, the two nodded subtly, confident in themselves.
"Leave it to us; you don’t need to step in just yet," they said, just as the Elves arrived.
Seeing that a few were already waiting for them, the Elf leader spoke with visible outrage, "Evil humans, how dare you destroy the forest! I now demand, in my capacity as captain of the Elven Guard, that you co with to confess your cris."
"Is there sothing wrong with this guy’s brain?" Lin Yushi comnted, bewildered.
"Soone’s a bit too full of themselves." Lin Yucha’s gaze was also peculiar. Du You simply stayed silent, watching.
Li ngyao seed about to say sothing, but Xi Qianxue had already started to fight, not even interested in asking for the other party’s na. She imdiately unleashed her Ice Crystal domain, instantly turning a vast area into an icy, frozen landscape.
Fortunately, they had moved the battlefield into the forest earlier, otherwise their hard-earned achievents could have been ruined.
Li ngyao spoke exasperatedly, "Really, why start fighting right away?" While speaking, Li ngyao unleashed her aura and domain in full. With a wave of her hand, a whirlwind appeared amid the land, sweeping many Elves into it.
"You dare resist? You—ah!" The Elven captain protested angrily.
Before he could draw his bow and arrow, Xi Qianxue unleashed a wide-expanding Ice Crystal Forest. The unfortunate captain was directly encased in Ice Crystal, and when it exploded, he was grievously injured on the spot.
"He’s hardly good at defense, yet dares to spout nonsense. Now look what has happened." Du You mused internally. Without absolute strength, it is best not to show off, or this is the result.
While the captain wasn’t dead, his serious injuries ensured escape was impossible. Xi Qianxue and Li ngyao were no re showpieces; their strength had been honed in battles across various worlds. Seizing the opportunity, they launched their decisive moves. Out of over a hundred Elves, most were dead within monts. Those who remained were all injured, with no chance of escape.
In the end, the two used small-scale magic to deal with each and every one of them. "Now we’ll have so peace for a few days," they remarked.
