Chapter 422 - An enemy is already inside. (2/2)
Surrounded by the green fresh leafs, Xue Ren curiously looked around while Harillia already closed her eyes to feel the fresh air and nature's powers more thoroughly. She also secretly trained her arrow qi that took small form of an arrow within her soul.
”We got a small connection with the Mother Nature here. She has been doing her best to form the tree's barrier with the help of the queen's technique. The limitations of the medium world are truly too severe... For years, we had clear look on our surroundings, but with more and more attacks of the death aura, our Dear Mother had to lower her powers and solely focus on the defense.”
So it meant that they couldn't really notice other death bastards stuffing the tree barrier with bone knives. Luckily enough, the battle with the divine death commander had notified the elder and he did his best to work.
The Dear Elder also told Xue Ren that he tried to ask the surrounding allied forces to help them, but there was no way to reach them other than their already appointed meatings. It meant that Mr. Bune and his team is the only ones here in the medium world while others are outside, patiently waiting for stronger force.
”Little Ren, follow me. You can leave Harillia as here she feels even better than in her own home.”
Laughing softly, the elder gestured Xue Ren to follow him. Not minding this at all, Xue Ren headed after the old man going a little further. His eyes quickly noticed the small green hut made out of leaves.
Inside, there was a similar green orb, but this orb had a clear look at the whole village and its elders, members and little animals that were friends of the elves.
”Dear Elder, are you spying on someone? Don't tell me someone has infiltrated this place?”
”Though our tunnels are made with the Mother's help, there is nothing certain in the universe, Little Ren... Please, look at this man.”
Pointing with his eyes at the green orb, The Dear Elder used the green orb, then the image of the old elf appeared. He had rather close looks to the old man next to Xue Ren... But as Xue Ren's light green eyes lingered for a little longer on this man...
”Scars?”
”Scars...”
Hearing this, The Dear Elder's face twisted in utmost pain. All this time, he had his own assumptions towards his own brother and finally, everything got cleared.
”It's my brother...”
He was making a lot of suspicious moves for few years... That's why, The Dear Elder slowly began spying on his own brother while believing in him all this time. But though he couldn't notice anything strange coming out from him, the areas he has visited were affected... with death aura!
”The Divine Death Craft... I have seen it with my own eyes thanks to our mother... My brother had left our village once to meet with our allies from higher world... If he silently got taken care of and his body got... refined... with their death aura...”
”Dear Elder... If there is someone like that, then he must be skilled, right?”
During the fight with Mr. Bune, the divine death commander could change his body parts easily, but it was still filled with death aura... Of course, Xue Ren had a little knowledge about them, but if they truly can get rid of it and blend into the community, then they are truly a sneaky motherf.u.c.kers!
”Yes, that's right... But if we just allow him to do everything he wants, then our little race from medium world will be responsible for many deaths which I can not agree with. The brutal world might've changed us, but we, elves, still have our principles.”
The elder lightly stomped on the ground with tears flowing down his cheeks. His hand reached up to grab the root as the small green hut had a few of these... Holding the root, he whispered the words to The Mother Nature.
Soon enough, the whole village shook along with the tree barrier itself!
