Chapter 422 - An enemy is already inside. (1/2)

Xue Ren wasn't really suspicious of Dear Elder's happy outbreak.

From the looks alone, it was easy to tell that this elder was doing everything he could to find the elf with high perception. Of course, he also wasn't really worried about his identity as this forest is full of elves.

Just like the elves on the mission hadn't brought up any remarks about his identity, it's obvious that even Dear Elder doesn't know every elf.

Following him with Harillia on his side, Xue Ren slowly entered deeper into the forest.

”Dear Elder, are we going directly to the mother's insides?”

”Yes.”

”...”

There is truly not much needed to describe Xue Ren's reaction to such words! It seems that the elves are quite perverted, but it's all unconscious actions which makes them kinda cute as they innocently speak such bold words.

As the elder nodded, he laughed out loud as Harillia's face was full of excitement and anticipation. The Mother Nature was always here, but was simply out of their reach. However, thanks to the grace of The Elven Queen, they could make a small connection that brought up the help to protect their race.

They were race closely related to the nature, so taking care of Mother Nature has brought up a lot of help when it comes to comprehension and simply power.

But they were still limited by the medium world.

Of course, it all changed with the help of the queen. The powerful formation has been formed.

'Mother Nature... Hmm~~'

As Xue Ren learnt something new, he began humming with contentment that quickly blended nicely with Harillia's soft mutters of excitement. They both looked adorably as they followed the elder as though his grandchildren.

The cute elves right here!

”Little Harillia has got a lot stronger, so I believe you might reach the peak itself of Black Rank power while being here. However, most of the nature's energy is going up to the tree's barrier, so work hard. I hope that we can quickly leave this place as it affects other residents of our little world...”

And the elder himself is quite nice guy. He was worried about other residents of this medium world! The nature help brought a lot of misfortune for other residents as its energy was being utilized here. It's fine to say that the nature is dying slowly in other parts of the medium world.

”It's okay, Dear Elder. Though not everyone is like that, many humans and other races had tried to hunt us all this time because of beauty alone... It's fine for them to... suffer a little.”

”Also... It's not like they don't have any resources, right? We should believe in them and their ability to nourish their lands with their own resources. If Mother Nature is by our side, then she should've punished the worst races harshly by taking a lot of nature's energy from them.”

Harillia spoke softly, then Xue Ren added causing the old man to smile widely as he felt his own heart getting soothed. He nodded brightly, then they quickly found themselves inside the huge tree.

And being here, Xue Ren couldn't truly tell whether he is inside or outside.

Because the whole place was like another small world. In fact, it would be better to call it 'another branch' of the big tree.
