"Such a vast forest, let’s just speed up." Du You, along with the two sisters, mounted Xiaozi and the Black Jade Griffin and started to fly through the air.
Unlike other places, the Grey Elf Forest doesn’t have any forbidden lands or trial grounds. The whole Grey Elf Forest is quite safe, since the Grey Elves have eliminated all the dangerous creatures.
Grey Elves are very powerful beings, but unlike other elves with their long lifespans, Grey Elves only live for two hundred years. All of this, they had learned from Elsa’s lips.
As they continued on their way, Elsa went on to share, "Grey Elves have short lifespans, so their accumulated strength isn’t very strong. It’s rumored that there might be fifth-tier beings in the Grey Elf Forest, but even if they exist, they certainly aren’t many. However, there are a lot of fourth-tier beings among these Grey Elves. As a result, it’s quite rare to encounter fourth-tier Magical Beasts in the forest."
"What if we do encounter one?" Lin Yushi asked.
"If we do, that can only an that the creature is either raised by the Grey Elves themselves or completely harmless. It’s best not to fight." No wonder Elsa had been suggesting that they fly and search for a large tribe from the air.
They were there primarily to find useful advancent materials, not to battle and kill. That wasn’t sothing to do here. The sight of a large number of fourth-tier Grey Elves made Du You’s eyes light up.
If he targeted these Grey Elves for the hunt, the benefits could be substantial.
But then Du You gave up on this idea. Grey Elves were not like other races; they were extrely formidable in forest combat. Perhaps one or two wouldn’t be a match for him, but scores of them attacking together would surely an death.
Within the Grey Elf Clan, the archer profession was also very common. They were fast, small in size, and had strong attack power, especially from a distance. Provoking them would make it easy to beco the target of their focused fire.
Du You had not yet beco so arrogant as to think he could confront such a powerful clan.
What if there was a fifth-tier being among them? Then, he would have no chance to even flee. With his current strength, facing a fifth-tier being, even a weaker one, likely ant an imdiate death.
Therefore, this visit was not for combat, but rely to find things that would be of use to him.
"Because Grey Elves are quite isolated, there are seldom any external goods here. We’ve brought so items that they need for trading. As long as it’s not too valuable a treasure, we should be able to trade for it."
This was why Elsa had them collect certain items in the large tribe before entering this area.
"Look, there seem to be a lot of Grey Elves below." Suddenly, Lin Yucha pointed down and said.
At a glance, Du You saw many grey figures within the forest. It was not easy to spot a single one, but with so many gathered together, they were quite visible. However, this was not a Grey Elf tribe; these individuals were forming a team and advancing.
After thinking for a mont, Du You descended directly from the sky. As they lowered their altitude, the Grey Elves beca alert. Du You’s Spiritual Perception could feel an abundance of Spiritual Power locking onto him. Du You even instinctively wanted to distance himself, knowing this was a sign of danger; these beings could harm him.
Looking down, he noticed more than a dozen fourth-tier Grey Elves targeting him.
Moreover, among these Grey Elves, the two strongest ones gave Du You a genuine fright. This indicated that these two Grey Elves were at least close to level 37.
"Hello, we’re here to trade, and we saw so many of you that we wanted to ask if sothing happened," Du You quickly called out loudly, asking.
Seeing that these individuals were "Fox People," the Grey Elves seed to relax a bit. Indeed, they didn’t have much aversion to Beastn, especially those known for their dislike of battle within Beastman races.
"Hello, I am the leader of this team, Xi Lu. We can trade with you, but we need your help," the figures said, unceremoniously making a request upon eting. But Du You could tell that these beings probably had little contact with outsiders, hence their directness.
Unconcerned, Du You landed on a tree and said with a smile, "Hello, I’m the leader of this team, Du You. May I ask, have you encountered any trouble?" His deanor showed no malice.
Xi Lu instructed the team to keep moving and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "Demons have appeared in large numbers in the north, and our large habitation has been destroyed. We’re on our way there to confront those demons. Their skin defense is just too strong, sowhat restraining us, and they appeared so suddenly that our northern gathering place fell."
A gathering place had fallen? Du You’s eyes glead.
That ant the people there were most likely all dead or had fled, leaving many possessions behind. And the Demons probably wouldn’t be interested in these items.
If he could find things useful to himself, he could simply take them without having to go through so much trouble to trade. With this in mind, Du You’s objectives suddenly shifted.
"I’m more than happy to help," Du You said with a smile to Xi Lu, who stood on a branch, deliberately keeping her eyes level with his own.
These Grey Elves seed quite concerned about their stature, but Du You wouldn’t point it out. As Elsa had said, the Grey Elves were indeed very short and grey-skinned, resembling monkeys if not looked at closely.
But from the front, they all looked quite delicate and beautiful. It’s no wonder so many would keep Grey Elves as pets, though of course, Du You himself had no such intention.
"Thank you for your help. Please follow our team; ti is of the essence."
Xi Lu did not decline or waste any pleasantries, simply commanding and then hurried on.
Du You had Xiaozi and the Black Jade Griffin take to the skies once more, following these Grey Elves. "Our objective has changed this ti; it’s that so-called Demon-occupied gathering place. We’ll help them out, then look for the things we need."
"So that’s what Master is thinking. Indeed, that’s a good target," Lin Yucha nodded and said.
"Cunning humans," Elsa murmured softly, her eyes darting about, seemingly deep in thought. Du You rolled his eyes; this girl had been getting bolder these past few days. Perhaps it was ti for so discipline.
