Chapter 165 The elves felt the shock of billions of human beings (Part 1)
Elte was panicked.
Not only him, but also the elves with him felt panicked.
Especially when those heavily armed soldiers raised their spears and started moving in their direction!
Not to mention the slight disadvantage in numbers.
Just the aura that can be honed by long-term battles cannot be compared to the few elves who go out to plant trees!
I'm afraid...
only the elven long archers of the elven clan, or the elven guards guarding the World Tree and the Eternal Fire, can compete with it!
Therefore, Elte made the decision to run away almost instantly.
Didn't even look back!
After running for several kilometers, the group of elves stopped panting.
"Human beings can dispel the black mist..."
Angelica said a little lostly: "They can actually dispel the black mist!"
Even the elves living in this land have a source of the black mist all over them. Fear from deep within.
Yes, the eternal fire can indeed dispel the black fog.
But the depressing and restless atmosphere cannot be easily erased no matter what.
Not only can they not do it, but even the most elite elven long archers of the elven clan cannot do it either!
"Speed up!"
"We must bring this news back immediately!"
Elta Shovel finally said after finally calming down his emotions.
The elves present nodded in agreement.
However, no matter how calm their emotions were, the previous scene had been deeply imprinted in the minds of the elves.
Those weird-looking instruments, those extremely elite soldiers, and those wind pillars condensed by black mist that connected to the sky... The
elves were completely unable to understand the previous scene.
But what they know is that the pattern of the abandoned land may soon undergo earth-shaking changes!
Half a day later.
The black fog in front of me gradually became thinner.
The tall trees gradually penetrated the cover of the black fog and appeared in front of the elves.
Not far away, the shadow of the World Tree finally caught Elte's eyes.
That is the world tree of the moon elves.
An ancient tree that is hundreds of meters tall and has grown on this land for nearly ten thousand years.
Erte couldn't help but slow down her pace.
In order to resist the monsters that would emerge from the black mist from time to time and the plateau hounds that invaded the camp, the elves' camp was surrounded by walls made of thorns and vines.
Even elves who go out must carefully identify the way forward so as not to be hurt by the traps set by their own family.
Finally, after the group of people carefully passed through the warning zone full of traps and piranha flowers, the gate of the camp was slowly opened.
Before the black mist filled the air, the elves had no habit of building camps.
They consider the mountains and forests as their home and the green shade as their blanket.
The vast forests spread across this land are all the homes of elves.
However...
as the black fog spreads, large areas of mountain forests are withering day by day, and large areas of greenery are gradually turning yellow.
Only around the World Tree, which symbolizes nature and vitality, can there be space for trees to grow and a thin green shade.
Over the years, the existence of the Eternal Fire has allowed the elves to travel through the black mist, and the vitality brought by the World Tree has allowed the elves to obtain a source of food.
So, the moment Elta stepped into the camp.
The elves who had been waiting behind the gate gathered around him.
"How are the seedlings of the World Tree?!"
In fact, before this, the elves had wanted to plant more World Trees countless times to make this land full of life again.
However, even though the adult World Tree can resist the invasion of the black mist, it is difficult for the saplings of the World Tree to do this.
It is precisely for this reason that although the elves have made many attempts to plant the World Tree, it is considered extremely lucky if one out of ten seedlings can survive.
However, when faced with the questions from the elves, Elte said nothing.
Not only him, but the elves traveling with Elta were also silent.
"I want to see the elder!"
Erte said without hesitation.
...
As the elder of the Moon Elf clan, Clementi just celebrated his one hundred and forty-fourth birthday seven days ago.
On that day, the Elf Queen Alicia presented him with a basket of freshly picked berries.
Those berries come from the berry bush closest to the World Tree.
It is said... that
only the berries picked from the berry bushes closest to the World Tree can taste the taste of the berries before the black mist filled the world.
And that's exactly what happened.
Even as an elder of the Moon Elf clan, Clementi rarely tastes such juicy fruit.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation facing the elves is deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye, Clementi would definitely be very happy.
Ordinary elves like Elte only know that the spread of black mist will have an impact.
But as an elder of the Moon Elf clan, Clementi knows the biggest threat that the Moon Elf faces today!
That is...
the World Tree, which has protected the Moon Elf clan and has lived in the abandoned land filled with black mist for thousands of years, has shown some signs of decline.
Or to put it more bluntly, it has entered the aging stage.
Of course trees also have a lifespan.
Willows usually have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, and birches usually have a lifespan of five to six hundred years.
The World Tree, which can grow to a height of several hundred meters, even has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
But that's only under normal circumstances!
And the darkness is filled with mist, which is not a normal situation!
This tree, which has protected the moon elves for thousands of years, has already shown some signs of withering and yellowing under the invasion of black mist.
It is precisely for this reason that when planting new World Tree seedlings, the elves directly took out their most cherished moon spring water for watering.
But...
the seedlings of the World Tree were dug up? !
This was the first thought that came to Clementi's mind.
But then, he realized a "fact" that shocked him even more!
Humanity is back!
Human beings who have disappeared in the abandoned land for thousands of years have returned to this land filled with black mist!
No!
To be precise...
or according to Elte and others, humans have even mastered the ability to disperse the Dark Room on a large scale? !
This made him feel incredible.
So much so that he had to repeatedly confirm with several elves who were out:
"Are you really not in an illusion?"
"I threw the torch in my hand out."
Erte could understand the elf elder. The mood at this time was because he had also experienced such a mental journey.
But all he can do is tell the truth.
Question: Is this book title terrible? If the title of the book were to be changed, what do you think would be better?
