Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Enforcer of Silver Power

“`html

The core area of the Elf Forest.

A team of elves, wearing splendid armor and magic robes, lay in ambush in the jungle.

Through the thick foliage, they watched a giant beast in the distance with vigilance.

It was a demon beast of the sub-dragon species, covered entirely in scale armor, approximately four to five meters tall.

It was hunched over, gnawing on a wild boar carcass, occasionally letting out low hissing sounds.

...

This beast was known as the Forest Giant Lizard, rumored to possess a trace of green dragon blood, capable of spewing a highly corrosive venom mist, a bona fide Silver Lower Early Stage demon beast.

Demacia, with a serious expression, looked at this Forest Giant Lizard and whispered to the young elf beside him,

“El, do you see that giant lizard?”

El nodded, his expression focused like a good child paying attention in class,

“I see it, Brother Demacia.”

At this moment, the young elf was quite different from before.

He wore equally magnificent armor and held a gleaming short sword.

That was the goddess’s gift to him, a symbol of the Divine Favored.

According to Demacia, this equipment was truly of legendary golden status, making all the Chosen Ones envious.

Though El didn’t quite understand what golden legend meant, he knew this equipment was incredibly precious.

This made him even more grateful and reverent to the generous Mother Goddess.

Looking at the earnest young elf, Demacia was quite satisfied. He cleared his throat and spoke with earnest words,

“El, though you’ve significantly increased in strength, you still need training!”

“Just as the goddess said, for the Elf Clan to become strong again, it requires not just a sincere heart but also the cultivation of a fighting spirit!”

“The struggle among races is cruel, and unbounded mercy only puts oneself in danger…”

“Though you’ve increased in strength, you still lack fighting experience. This demon beast has a Silver Lower rank, not only is it ugly, but it’s also a cruel carnivore, absolutely heinous! Why don’t we… ahem, it’s just right for you to practice!”

“I know you’ll still feel some reluctance, but there’s no need to rush. We’ll take it slow; just like before, you beat it half-dead, and we’ll handle the rest.”

Demacia’s expression was gentle, guiding patiently.

Hearing his words, El nodded obediently,

“Okay, Brother Demacia!”

Though he had killed Half-Beast with his own hands, the innate kindness of the elves still made him reluctant to strike at these demon beasts.

Thinking of this, El looked at Demacia with a bit of admiration, a warmth rising in his heart,

*Brother Demacia took the risk to find these powerful demon beasts for my growth, and considering my psychological endurance, even allowed me to first knock the demon beast half-dead while they handled the rest…*

*They’re really great!*

*I… must not let him down!*

His expression gradually became determined.

Taking a deep breath, El said,

“Brother Demacia, I’m going.”

Demacia nodded as well,

“Go ahead, be safe, the goddess will bless you.”

He drew a symbol of Mother Nature on his chest, his expression solemn and devout.

After saying this, he couldn’t help but add,

“Just beat it half-dead!”

El quickly approached the giant lizard and engaged in battle with it.

The intensity of the Silver rank battle waves astonished the lurking players who watched in awe.

Yet as the battle commenced, Demacia’s serious expression immediately faltered.

He smirked slightly, his eyes glowing as he looked at the distant giant lizard,

“Silver Lower… hehehe, taking this kill is probably worth several thousand experience points again.”

Li Mu walked up beside him and gave him a helpless glance,

“You, taking advantage of kids’ opportunities.”

Hearing Li Mu’s words, Demacia grinned,

“Brother Mu, El isn’t a kid anymore; he’s older than my great-grandfather!”

Saying this, he rolled his eyes and chuckled,

“Besides, I did nothing wrong. He trained his combat skills, and we stepped in for some experience points; it’s a win-win!”

Li Mu rolled his eyes,

“You’re just tempted by his Silver Lower Peak strength.”

“Hehe, a Silver hand, why not take advantage of it?”

Demacia laughed.

“If El knew your true intentions, the little goodwill you have might just turn negative.”

Li Mu shook his head.

“No worries, we’ve been through the clink together! I’ve told him many stories, too!”

Demacia patted his chest proudly.

After speaking, his expression turned somewhat mysterious as he leaned toward Li Mu’s ear,

“Did you know? El’s favorite story is ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,’ although it’s my emotionally revised tragedy version…”

Li Mu: …

Seeing Li Mu not replying, Demacia chuckled awkwardly and changed the topic,

“Speaking of which, it seems like there are more demon beasts in the forest recently… weren’t they all gone before?”

Due to the players’ hunting, the low-level demon beasts in the core area of the Elf Forest had long begun migrating on a large scale for their lives.

But ever since the World Tree’s resurgence, players were surprised to find these demon beasts gradually returning.

Not only that… even some higher-level demon beasts began migrating to the core area.

Li Mu looked at the surrounding jungles, which were lusher than before, and said uncertainly,

“It might be due to the resurgence of magic power; I’m a Druid, and my perception of magic power in the forest is still strong. After the World Tree’s resurgence, there’s been a significant increase in magic power in the forest, especially in the core area.”

“These demon beasts might be migrating because of this. Not to mention them, even I feel like the effects of meditation have improved a lot recently.”

The world of Segis was a fantastical place; areas rich in magic power were often abundant in resources as well.

Especially here in the forest, representing plentiful natural magic power, it’s no surprise the demon beasts were drawn to it.

Hearing Li Mu’s words, Demacia licked his lips,

“Looks like we’ll have more game to eat soon.”

Li Mu: …

The battle quickly concluded.

Moments later, El returned to the players’ team, wiping the blood off his short sword, giving a slight nod to Demacia,

“Brother Demacia, I finished.”

“So fast?”

Demacia blinked in surprise, then looked over at the giant lizard.

At this moment, the giant lizard had already collapsed on the ground, barely clinging to life.

Its body was covered in wounds, scales scattered everywhere, a pitiful sight, with only its legs twitching…

Demacia: …

*Such a fierce old young man!*

He gave a peculiar glance at the innocent-faced El, then chuckled awkwardly,

“Ahem… well, well, nicely done!”

Afterward, he signaled to the other players with his eyes, and a group excitedly swung their weapons, rushing at the fallen giant lizard…

Following closely behind NPCs meant good rewards!

Watching the Chosen Ones excitedly rush toward the demon beast, El was no longer surprised.

Once the players dealt with the demon beast and sacrificially offered materials like scales and beast bones to the goddess, they marched back to the Elf Town.

And as soon as they returned to the town, a cuckoo bird found Li Mu and his group,

“Miss Alice has something for El.”

The bird seemed quite excited, almost breaking her generally stern and aloof persona.

“What is it?”

Li Mu asked curiously.

“It seems… members of the Elf Clan are returning!”
