Chapter 442
/*unedited*/
The village elder is a figure well respected among the nomad forest elves. In this particular village, their village elder is a magnanimous person who holds the greatest ability amongst them. He has continuously protected the village from unforeseen events and dangerous creatures and even people. And so, the village elder was well respected by many.
Biikli was once a normal nomad forest elf soldier. When he was sent to this new land from their ho, he has shown his ability to lead and a great warrior. When the new kingdom of the nomad forest elves was built inside the vast forest, everyone who gained great contribution from the building up of the kingdom was rewarded.
Young as he is, he is wise and kind. Hence he was made into a village chief by the king of the new kingdom.
The nomad forest elves are the only race of elves who like to travel to a different forest. Unlike those other elves that would hide in their forest fortress, nomad forest elves like to explore.
Since Biiklii has been a village chief 8 years have passed.
Looking at the younger generation of the nomad forest elves and their bravery to go and enter the middle of the forest just to gain powerful beast, he was satisfied.
However, when his eyes saw Shin Jiao and his uncommon clothing, he felt a bit curious and worried at the sa ti.
Although they sotis welco strangers inside their village, they are not a neutral village and would not permit just anyone to enter. So he decided to approach the group.
After the young people vowed, they imdiately introduced Shin Jiao.
"Village chief! This is our benefactor, Mr. Si Ji… he is the one who saves us from the dragons." Tiiki said with a smile.
When Shin Jiao and Biikli's eyes t, the two nodded their heads.
Shin Jiao was a bit surprised to see a young village chief. He didn't know the tradition of the nomad forest elves so he is not aware of the reason how a young elf beca a village chief.
anwhile, Biikli is a bit surprised to see Shin Jiao. He already doubts the five youth of their words.
"How could a re man without Qi or mana be able to defeat a dragon?" he said with a frown.
That's right one of Biikli's abilities is to see power undulation from a person. He can actually see them even if they hide inside a house. Although his perception is limited in range, it has been helpful inside the forest to prevent his group from encountering ambushes.
However, no matter how he tries to look at Shin Jiao he can see that he is just a normal man. But of course, he would not neglect the words of the young people from his village.
"Welco, you are the benefactor of our village. It is my honor to accept your presence." Biikli said with elegance.
Everyone was surprised, and the 5 youth was excited.
The group enters the village and Shin Jiao saw that the houses inside are truly like those from the movies and the ani he saw on earth. The only difference is that the nomad forest elves use nature and earth magic to build their village. And inside those brick and wooden hos are so man-made technologies, for example, the lights, the mana air-conditioner, and the rifles.
He knows that the influence of the Shin city that he started is already widespread, so he is not that surprised.
They entered the tallest house of the village and were seated along with the long table that the village chief and his family prepared to welco the group.
After a nice afternoon al, the village chief talked to the group.
"I am happy that you five are okay and that you have obtained powerful stone dragon's eggs. However, I am disappointed with your rush decision. It was only thanks to Master Jiao that you are able to escape, if not then…" the village elder said feeling a bit gloomy at the story of the group.
"Master Ji, do you have any request from this humble village? If we can do it, we will try to complete your request." The chief said.
"Ah, no problem… I'm actually just passing by and going to directly return to my group. But… can I ask if you have a map of this part of the forest? We are actually heading towards the Shin city…" when Shin Jiao said this, the village chief suddenly frowns and knitted his brows.
"Master Ji… Are you new to this place?" he asked in curiosity.
"Yes, we were lost for a while in this damned place… but luckily I bumped with the five young people here. They have helped realize this place." Shin Jiao said with a smile.
The village chief didn't doubt Shin Jiao's words because of how he looks like. He is clearly not from around the area. So the village chief stood up and took out a piece of paper from the table filled with books on the side.
He then laid down the map on the table and pointed out the place they are in right now.
When Shin Jiao saw the map, he was a bit surprised at the many villages and towns that pop out inside the Daemon forest.
"These elves are really fearless and brave to stay inside this dangerous place." He thought.
Then he carefully recorded everything on the map.
"I wanted to give you this map, but as you can see, this is very important to us. You can just copy the things you need from this…" Biikli said with a smile.
He showed Shin Jiao the map because he is confident that the man would not use it for other purposes. In fact, the stone dragon eggs are more important than the asly map on the table.
"No problem, I have already morized my path… thank you very much chief." He said while cupping his hand.
Shin Jiao said his goodbyes to the people in the village as he needed to go back to Susan and Mary's group deep within the forest.
…
anwhile, in the safe zone where Susan Tang and Mary Anderson are staying with the rest of the people from earth, everyone was restless. This is especially true to Susan Tang. She knew of the danger that the forest presented after staying in this place for a while. So she is worried that sothing might have happened to Shin Jiao.
While in this state the group suddenly saw a group of people appearing not too far from their area. This particular group is being led by a young woman.
Her mouth is covered with a white veil, and she is walking in front of the group.
Suddenly the group stopped and it seems that they cannot see those from the earth while inside the safe zone.
"Mistress Lou, what are we doing in this dangerous place?" a young cultivator asked as he walked near the woman.
"This is the place where I felt that familiar aura." She said as she scanned her surroundings.
But to her disappointnt, she found no trace at all.
They were about to leave when she found sothing within the bushes.
She quickly ran towards it and look inside the shrubberies, and from inside she lifted up a plastic wrapper of a snack bar.
When the group from the earth saw what she was holding, their eyes went to a particular person. The man is a fat mutant who likes to eat candy bars. They always reminded him to keep the wrappers of the bar and not throw it anywhere, but it seems that the fatso didn't listen.
"Beat you bastard!" said Aide who is standing near him.
"I… I… I didn't… I kept all of my trash in my pocket, look!" Beat said in a panic as he showed the thick pocket filled with candy bar wrappers.
"This might not be intentional, but it has exposed us." Captain Jas Crugger said as he stood with vigilance.
However, the small kid Ju-long Jiao suddenly stood up and didn't mind the group. Although at first, he is also a bit nervous as the group has powerful cultivators in the infant soul realm, he suddenly recognizes the voice of the woman wearing a veil.
This is because the woman is his mother, Qin Lou.
So he imdiately ran outside of the protective barrier of the safe zone and appears before the group. Everyone was startled and didn't have enough ti to react. When the people from outside saw the young boy wearing strange clothing, they too were surprised, but then when they saw the face of Ju-long Jiao everyone imdiately kneels on one knee.
"We greet the small prince!"
anwhile, Qin Lou showed a surprise yet happy expression as she imdiately went to hug her son.
"Long'er mother misses you so much! How was your trip? What did you do? Where did you appear from?" she asked.
"Mom, I'm fine… Hehe…" he said and then lower his voice and whispered.
"Mom… I… I et dad." He said with a smile.
When Qin Lou heard this, her body imdiately turned stiff. She didn't know what to say and how to react. Although she is expecting sothing like this would happen, yet she never truly laid her hope on the line.
This is because she saw what happened to Shin Jiao when his body disappears. Everything he had on him was left behind. Everything was there except his body. Hence, although Mary told her about it, she was still skeptical.
But now, she is happy… she is really, really happy.
