Chapter 403: Attack of the Elf Team
On the edge of the Elf Forest,
tall trees towered into the sky, forming a dense green sky. The trees have thick branches and dense crowns, as if they are the guardians of nature, standing quietly on this ancient land.
The sun shines through the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadow, adding a sense of mystery to the forest. The breeze blows, and the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, accompanied by the faint and sweet singing of birds, like the movement of nature, which makes people intoxicated.
Going deep into the hinterland of the forest is like stepping into a dream that time has forgotten. The ground under your feet is no longer hard soil or stones, but a thick, soft green carpet. This is a natural carpet intertwined with mosses and lichens accumulated over countless years. It is spread out densely, soft and rich. elasticity.
The Forest of Elves is located in the southern part of the continent of Fanor. It does not have as obvious changes in the four seasons throughout the year as the Kingdom of Fes does, so this forest is evergreen all year round and is a common refuge for all creatures in it.
However, this forest is not as humid and dark as the tropical rainforest in Li Si's previous life. The trees are relatively refreshing and do not affect the passage of others.
Li Si jumped down from the trunk of a dead and fallen forest tree and reached out to help Cecile.
Cecile is now wearing a light brown leather armor with a small leather bag slung across her back. If she adds a long bow, she looks like an elf ranger.
However, Cecile's pale face showed her poor physical strength.
"Would you like to take a rest?"
"Speaking of which, Cecile, why did you choose to go through the Elf Forest?"
"It would be better to take a carriage along the main road inside the kingdom. "Take it easy."
Li Si asked, looking at Cecile's somewhat unsteady steps.
“Ha~”
Cecile took a small breath and nodded.
Sit down against a thick tree, take out the water bottle from the backpack and take a sip. Only then did Cecile calm down.
“I think this might be safer.”
After regaining her breath, Cecile nodded slightly and said:
“Although I don’t want to believe it. The elder of Ilisel, but the one who sent the message said that someone with Sun Elf blood would attack, so he asked me to rush to the Bolin Kingdom.”
"Although I don't know who is going to attack me, it's safer in the Elf Forest than in the human kingdom, right?"
"What's more, the journey directly through the Elf Forest is shorter. ."
"Okay."
Li Si nodded uncertainly.
To be honest, there is no problem with Cecile’s choice.
Although the Bolin Kingdom is connected to the Valentine Kingdom, in fact the two countries are only connected by the northern border territory, and most of the area in between is the Elf Forest.
As a city close to the Elf Forest, Nelin City would take more time to go around from outside the Elf Forest.
So even if Lis and Cecile choose to walk through the Elf Forest, the time can be greatly reduced.
With Cecile’s current strength, it is simply impossible to use flight for a long time to travel, and it will greatly consume the magic power in the body. When traveling long distances, if the magic power is insufficient, it will be dangerous. .
However, Li Si was not in a hurry and did not want to help Cecil reach the Bolin Kingdom in advance.
With his strength, although he has not yet left spatial coordinates in the Bolin Kingdom, he can just try a few more times through non-directional spatial teleportation.
Anyway, after Li Si received special training from Mr. Stephens and went into seclusion in Azela Floating City, his control over all aspects of his abilities has reached a new level.
Although Li Si had mastered a vast and complex array of expertise and skills before, to be honest, Li Si was not yet proficient in controlling and using each ability.
During this period of experience and training, although Li Si's personal level has not improved much, his strength in frontal combat has indeed been significantly improved.
However, Li Si is still waiting for those who may attack Cecil, if there are really those people?
"By the way, it's been a long time since I've been back to the Elf Forest!"
Cecile took a deep breath and felt the fresh air in the forest.
"This is my first time to come to the Elf Forest. It is indeed a different feeling."
Li Si leaned against the trunk of a big tree and nodded, entering the Elf Forest. For a few days, he felt that the air seemed to be filled with the breath of life, and his whole body felt much more relaxed.
Although the game character controlled by Li Si in the previous life has also been to the Elf Forest, and the full simulation state has a similar feeling, but this feeling is more like the relaxation of the soul, as if immersed in the ocean of life. .
The only pity seems to be that this is the edge area of the Elf Forest, closer to where humans live.
The beasts and birds here seem to have seen the greed of the poachers, and they stay away from Li Si.
"Huh? Is this like this?"
Cecile's green eyes looked at Li Si with some confusion.
“But I clearly feel that Mr. Li Si is very skilled in his actions in the Elf Forest, even more familiar than me, an elf.”
"Maybe it's because I have been to the forest in the north of Fanor continent before and have some experience."
Cecile was not complimenting Li Si, but really felt that way.
Ever since she asked her father to take her away from the Elven Court, in order to cause less trouble to her father, she deliberately chose the relatively remote Nelin City, and rarely even left the house.
As a gem setter, she concentrates on the work she loves and guards her little happiness.
Although she has been away from the Elf Forest for a long time, as an elf she is still confident in her performance in the forest.
But Li Si was obviously more adaptable to this forest than she was. Although as a warrior, he was indeed much stronger in physical strength than she was as a mage, the gap shouldn't be so big, right?
What's more, he noticed all Li Si's little tricks while traveling in the forest.
Even with the elf's natural agility and movement bonus in the forest, Li Si looked relaxed when she was panting.
“This doesn’t count”
Chi~boom!
Before he finished speaking, the sound of an arrow piercing the air was heard.
A long sword flashing with cold light instantly appeared in Li Si's hand, knocking down the long arrow that was shooting at him.
Looking at the arrow falling at his feet, Li Si frowned slightly.
Sharp triangular arrows, black ironwood arrow shafts, and emerald green arrow feathers.
This is the arrow often used by Elf Rangers!
What's going on?
But the force coming from the arrow just now should be from a Silver-level Elf Ranger.
"What's going on?"
Only then did Cecile realize it. She quickly stood up, took out an emerald green staff from the storage ring, and held it tightly. in hand.
“Is it the attacker?”
With her body slightly bowed, Cecile observed her surroundings warily.
Li Si looked at Cecile's stall. The staff in her hand was very similar to the jade staff he used. It should also be a high-level gold-level staff.
But looking at Cecile's nervous look, she seemed to be a complete novice, even more unfamiliar than when Li Si and Risa met for the first time.
She didn't even notice that the arrows that were attacking were the arrows used by the elves. "I don't know. Come closer to me."
Lis said to Cecile.
In his induction, there were three figures approaching him and Cecile quickly. Judging from their aura, it was obvious that they were all elves.
But the elf who shot the arrow to attack him did not come over. Instead, he stayed far away and seemed to continue to aim at Li Si.
Why did you suddenly attack me?
Li Si was a little curious, but he didn't feel any threat.
After all, these elves in front of him are all silver-level professionals based on their aura, and they are not even a trouble to Li Si now.
Generally speaking, even if the elves are hostile to outsiders entering the Elf Forest, no matter how tense the relationship between the elves and humans is, they will not attack them when they meet?
Could it be
Li Si glanced at Cecile beside him and had a guess in his mind.
Before Cecile could react, three figures had appeared in front of Li Si and Cecile.
Two figures quickly rushed towards Li Si, and another figure quickly rushed towards Cecile.
Lis frowned and looked at the female elf rushing towards Cecil. Although he had a guess about their purpose, it did not mean that he would let these elves act.
After all, judging from the current situation, there is no guarantee that those who attack Cecil do not include elves.
Li Si didn’t want the hard-won clues to be lost.
Phew!
Li Si took out a round shield from the storage ring and slammed it at the female elf who rushed towards Cecil, causing a violent sound of breaking through the air.
"What?"
Erza's face changed drastically. As an elf ranger, she had never seen this kind of attack.
Even without contact, she could already feel the terrifying force on the shield coming through the air.
What is going on?
In an instant, she lost the courage to accept the shield, and quickly jumped back to avoid Li Si's attack.
Bang!
The shield slammed into the ground not far away, raising a cloud of green-black moss and dirt debris. The huge sound even startled the birds in the distant forest.
Li Si did not pursue the retreating elf ranger. Li Si faced the remaining two elf professionals head-on.
The remaining two elves were both male, and with Li Si's eyesight, he quickly confirmed their occupations.
An elf warrior wearing dark green armor, holding a slender sword in his hand.
Different from the strength of human warriors, the warrior professions of the elves are more lithe in stature. They prefer to delve into superb combat skills and win battles through skilled combat skills.
Even so, warrior professionals are quite rare among the elves. I didn’t expect to meet one here.
The other one is a bald monk wearing single clothes, with his hands folded and not holding any weapons.
To be honest, even the handsome and beautiful elves are a bit ugly without hair, but they do have that special temperament.
It seems that they saw Li Si's attack just now. The two people who attacked Li Si looked serious and alert but did not stop attacking.
“Ah!”
Cecile noticed the situation in front of her and hurriedly prepared.
The magic light of the staff in her hand flickered, and Li Si, who was standing in front of him, felt several buffing spells being applied to his body.
But the gain for him is a little slight.
After all, for his current attribute values, the effects of the gain spells cast by the Silver Mage are somewhat ordinary.
Li Si didn't pay attention, and jumped forward, pointing the long sword in his hand directly at the elf warrior attacking him.
With his current attribute advantage over the Silver level, his actions seemed to be framed in the eyes of the two, and he appeared in front of them instantly.
Zheng~
A buzzing sound sounded in the forest, and Li Si's long sword struck directly on the thin sword in the hand of the elf warrior.
As if unable to withstand the force, the rapier in his hand was broken into two pieces.
Before the elf warrior Pedros had time to be surprised, he felt an irresistible force coming from in front of him, and his body suddenly flew backward.
Crash~
Pedros directly broke the big tree behind him, and the fallen tree crown completely wrapped his body.
Because he didn't know the purpose of these elves, Li Si also held back. The elf warrior would only be paralyzed for a while.
If Li Si used all his strength, this handsome elf might turn into flesh in an instant.
The elf monk Gadri noticed the situation of his companions, and his nerves were stretched to the limit.
At this moment, he has realized the terror of the man in front of him. He and the others have no chance to fight back in front of him.
I can’t feel any real aura from this person. Could it be that he is a gold-level powerhouse?
Why do gold-level warriors appear here to capture elves? Is it one of those notorious slave-catching teams?
Even though he was aware of the situation shown, he could not retreat.
The companions are all here, and the elf's pride prevents him from doing the cowardly act of abandoning his companions and running away.
He can only hope that during the time he has bought, Colette will find something wrong and Lord Valdivia can come over as soon as possible.
Gadri pushed forward with both hands, preparing to use the monk's skills to control Li Si in front of him.
Gadri, who was mobilizing the power in his body, found that Li Si, who had just kicked Pedros away, suddenly appeared in front of him. He grabbed his hands with his left hand and held them tightly.
Before he could resist, a huge force directly grabbed his hands and pressed them behind the joints.
Gadri wanted to struggle, but found that the white palms of the man in front of him were like half of tempered steel, leaving him no room to resist.
"Uh"
Severe pain came, and Gadri fell to his knees on the ground with a pale face.
“Huh?”
Li Si noticed the threat coming from his back, and stabbed back with the long sword in his right hand.
Elf Ranger Erza clenched her teeth as she dodged Li Si's attack in embarrassment.
Like Pedros, she now has no confidence in winning, and just wants to buy more time for her remaining companions.
He tilted his head slightly to avoid arrows shot from a distance.
He turned his right hand and hit Monk Gadri on the back of his neck with the hilt of his sword.
Gadri's body went limp, and as soon as Li Si let go, he collapsed to the ground.
Looking at Erza who was on guard in front of him, Li Si shrugged and said with a smile:
“I think you must have made a mistake.”
Li Si pointed at Cecile behind him and said:
“Have you not noticed, she is not the elf slave I captured.”
