Although the seven-colored deer was rather timid, its curiosity surpassed that of anyone else. It even interrupted Liu Ziming's story about the elves, expressing its own doubts with a mischievous expression.
Actually, everyone wanted to interrupt Liu Ziming's story about the elves, but out of politeness, they had no choice but to listen patiently. Fortunately, the Seven-Colored Deer voiced his doubts, otherwise, who knows how long Liu Ziming would have gone on?
"Actually, the elves didn't originally live here. According to the records of the Monster Forest, the reason the elves lived in the Monster Forest was entirely due to the suppression of the Demon King. They had no choice but to stay here and couldn't even take a single step outside."
Some of them coming back is also a normal phenomenon.
"You're talking complete nonsense! Elves are supposed to live in places brimming with spiritual energy, how could they possibly live in the Demon Beast Forest? Suppressed by the Demon King? Nobody would believe that!"
Liu Ziming really couldn't understand it. This girl, Slime, was acting like she was crazy, targeting him in everything she did. He really didn't know why. If he knew, he would probably laugh his back teeth out.
“Slime Mirror, what you said is correct, but due to the Demon King’s strength, the Elf race had to relocate to the Monster Forest. Moreover, the different levels of magical beasts in the Monster Forest are all carefully raised by the Elf race, and are not as terrifying as the outside world’s legends suggest.”
As Liu Ziming continued to explain, everyone was filled with doubts. How could they explain the thousands of seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, that they had killed earlier?
"You bastard, you're the only one who can understand the map of the Warcraft Forest, so you can say whatever you want. But can you explain to me how we killed the seventh-tier Warcraft Wolf? If you can't explain it properly, I'll make you regret it!"
Looking at the persistent expression on the slime mirror's face, Liu Ziming felt a great deal of helplessness. However, there was nothing he could do. If he couldn't explain himself clearly, this crazy girl probably wouldn't let it go so easily.
"Hehe, since you don't believe me, then I'll tell you. Actually, when we consume the flesh of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, and kill it, we gain the corresponding abilities of a seventh-tier magical beast. If you don't believe me, you can sense your own burst speed. Hasn't it increased a lot?"
Actually, Liu Ziming didn't want to explain so much, but because that crazy girl, Slime Jing, kept pestering him, he had no choice but to say it. "If I believed you so easily, I'd be out of my mind. Who would believe your nonsense?"
Actually, the slime was also skeptical of Liu Ziming's explanation, so he secretly tried it himself. Sure enough, it felt just like what that guy Liu Ziming had said, and he was deeply shaken. "How about it? Isn't it the feeling I described? Now you should believe me, right?"
Although the Slime Mirror didn't describe the feeling it experienced, Liu Ziming could tell from its actions and expressions that it must have felt that way. After all, the map of the Monster Forest clearly indicated that, apart from the elves, anyone else in the Monster Forest could gain the corresponding level of ability boost by killing monsters of the corresponding level. How could he not know that?
"Hehe, stop fooling around. What else do you know about the elves, you stinky spider? Just tell us already, or you'll really keep us in suspense."
At this moment, the cat angel really looked like a little fangirl, sitting next to Liu Ziming with her chin resting on her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation, and her pouting lips making her look incredibly cute. (Please give her flowers.)
Actually, Liu Ziming didn't know much about the Elf race, but he still slowly continued speaking.
"Actually, the elves are a noble race. The Seven-Colored Enchanted Journey we discovered is their clan flower. It is said that only truly brave and kind people can approach the Seven-Colored Enchanted Journey. I didn't expect it to appear here. I wonder if it's true or not?"
When everyone heard Liu Ziming say these things, their eyes widened and their mouths were practically agape. It turned out that the Elf race was a noble race, and their race flower, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, was so spiritual. No wonder it appeared here, shining with seven colors and captivating everyone's heart.
"...Haha, then I'll have to experience this colorful and wonderful journey. Will you acknowledge me as your little kitten?"
Before anyone could react, the cat angel rushed over in a hurry and grabbed them, launching them into the enchanting rainbow journey.
Liu Ziming was about to speak up to warn him, but it was too late. The Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey manifested seven colors, wrapping around the cat angel and creating a fantastical scene. "Ahhh! Help me! This guy has tied me up, and I can't even breathe!" From within the ever-changing, fantastical seven-colored halo came the cat angel's pitiful voice, indicating that he was in great pain.
"Sigh, this guy is really too impatient. Why won't he let me finish explaining? Now he's finally paying the price, isn't he? Is there really no way to deal with you guys?" Liu Ziming's eyes were filled with helplessness, but he had to step in to save Cat Angel, otherwise, he might really be in danger. "You stinky spider, why aren't you doing anything? If anything happens to Cat Angel, I definitely won't let you off the hook!"
Just as Liu Ziming was pondering how to save him, the slime suddenly kicked him hard, looking very hostile with a fierce expression on its face.
第339章 奇幻的天『-若水飞卢群』9七5六3二4^一0籁之音
Just when everyone was at a loss, a magical, heavenly sound suddenly rang in his ears, so melodious and pleasing to the ear that it made people yearn for it.
"You people stumbled into the Monster Forest by accident and then wandered into the Misty Forest, where you actually had the good fortune to see the flower of my elven race. It seems you lot have a real connection with my elven race. But that doesn't mean our elven race can accept you. As for your companions, I can stop for now, but I don't want it to happen again."
The voice was so pleasant to hear when it was heard, and although it carried a hidden threat, no one paid any attention to it because the voice was so strange, as if it were drifting from the distant horizon.
"Who are you? Could you be Chief '183' of the Elf Clan? We did not mean to offend the Elf Clan, including your clan's Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, but my friend, Cat Angel, is simply too curious. Please forgive our rudeness?"
It has to be said, Liu Ziming's reaction speed was incredibly fast. The moment that fantastical, celestial sound rang out, he immediately recognized it as the guardian deity of the Elf race's flower; otherwise, it wouldn't be acting this way. "Haha, young man, it seems you have some knowledge. But I am not the patriarch of the Elf race; I am merely the guardian of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey. I don't want it to suffer even the slightest harm because of my negligence. Now you understand, right?" Hearing that Liu Ziming was actually conversing with that fantastical voice, the crowd's expressions grew even more horrified. They truly couldn't understand what Liu Ziming was up to. Did he have some kind of agreement or shady dealings with the Elf race?
"Thank you, guardian deity of the elven race. My friend, the cat angel, may not be able to hold on any longer. I hope you can forgive his recklessness. I am willing to accept your punishment on his behalf."
No one expected that Liu Ziming would bravely step forward at this moment, and appear very courageous, with a particularly resolute and unwavering expression on his face. "Hahahaha!"
When Liu Ziming uttered those words and made that courageous move, the guardian deity of the elven race actually looked up and laughed, his voice possessing an infinite magnetism and bewitching power that stirred the hearts of those around him. "That voice is too bewitching; it might give us a hallucinatory feeling. Everyone must be careful!"
Although he wanted to take the punishment from the guardian spirit in place of the cat angel, the magical voice was too strange, so Liu Ziming had to keep reminding everyone not to be misled by it. "Young man, I thought you were a clever fellow, but it turns out you're just like them, a bunch of idiots. How utterly boring!"
To everyone's surprise, the magical voice sounded quite helpless. The seven-colored halo that had been spinning in front of them vanished instantly, and the cat angel was freed from it. The cat angel looked pained, as if it had just experienced something terrifying.
"That scared me to death! That scared me to death! This Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey is really terrifying. Don't go near it! Its appearance is smooth and beautiful, but it exudes an evil aura. It's not so easy to deal with!" The cat angel clutched its chest, feeling a sense of relief, muttering to itself as it warned everyone not to approach the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the elven race's clan flower. "Sigh, for thousands of years, not a single person has been able to pluck the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, my elven race's clan flower. It's truly a pity. It seems I misjudged it this time. What a shame!"
Just as everyone was horrified by the sight before them, that wondrous celestial sound rang in their ears once more, this time sounding somewhat helpless, drifting further and further away, filled with a sense of vicissitude. "Holy crap, no way! The elven race has a history spanning thousands of years, how come I've never heard of them? Are you playing tricks?"
Liu Ziming heard a voice that sounded weary and helpless, and a wicked thought crept into his mind. Little did he know that his inner thoughts would be discovered by the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey...
"I advise you not to have such strange ideas. Don't you know that curiosity can kill you? I had high hopes for you, young man, but I'm really disappointed to find you're like that."
This conversation between Liu Ziming and the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey was entirely between the two of them. The others were completely oblivious, simply thinking that Liu Ziming was standing there blankly, lost in thought. "Heh, actually, I still hold the elves in high esteem. As for your clan flower, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, I have no interest whatsoever. You should just guard it well yourself, and make sure no one tries to take advantage of it."
Actually, Liu Ziming originally felt a sense of fantasy about the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, but after hearing what his guardian said, all his curiosity vanished, and his mind became exceptionally clear, without the slightest thought.
"Awake?"
The guardian deity of the elven race never expected that when Liu Ziming was not thinking about anything, the Seven-Colored Enchanted Journey would suddenly stir, seemingly with a particularly greedy look, as if it wanted to devour Liu Ziming.
The guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Wonderful Journey thought for a while, and seemed to finally understand. He looked very relieved and burst into laughter, a laugh that resonated in everyone's hearts.
"I finally know why! I finally know why! And after waiting for thousands of years, it's finally happened! It's definitely you, no doubt about it!" The words of the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Wonderful Journey kept echoing in Liu Ziming's mind. He felt somewhat bewildered. What exactly had happened?
Chapter 340 The Trial of the Elves
In fact, no one knows that the Elf race, or in other words, the guardian of the Seven-Colored Enchanted Journey, has been protecting it for thousands of years. At least dozens of people have come to the Monster Forest and even strayed into the Misty Forest, but none of them have passed the Elf race's test. The Seven-Colored Enchanted Journey continues to grow alone in the Enchanted Forest, and no one knows its loneliness.
"Holy crap, could that old guy be talking about me? How is that possible? How could I possibly have any connection with the flower of the Elf race, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey?"
Liu Ziming's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that this was the first time he had ever seen the Seven-Colored Fairy Flower, the flower of the Elf race. Yet the strange voice said that he had found her and waited for her for thousands of years. These words sounded unbelievable.
"My goodness, Spider Boss, I've discovered that the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey is particularly appealing to you, and it seems to really like getting close to you. Look, it's already slowly floating towards you!"
Slime Mirror gaped, utterly unable to believe it. The enchanting, colorful journey that had trapped the cat angel was slowly approaching Liu Ziming, appearing particularly alluring, a sight that defied all comprehension.
"Hehe, you know what, this strange flower really does have an alluring fragrance. I feel like I'm about to ascend to heaven. Isn't that too weird?"
No one expected that the usually mature and composed Giant Ape would have such a strange expression on his face as he slowly approached the Seven-Colored Graceful Journey, the flower of the Elf race. "Giant Ape, what's wrong with you? Has something affected your mind? Please don't be like this! Have you forgotten the punishment from the Cat Angel?"
Liu Ziming noticed that the giant ape was slowly approaching the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the elf race, so he quickly spoke up to stop it, fearing that the giant ape would follow in the footsteps of the cat angel.
Perhaps it was because Liu Ziming's birth was too loud, or perhaps it was because his movements were too intense, but the giant ape's mind was jolted for a moment before it regained its clarity.
"What happened? I had a strange feeling just now, like someone tugged at me forcefully? Luckily, otherwise I might have really gotten into big trouble." The Giant Ape Senior's face showed some lingering fear, because he had just witnessed how the Cat Angel was trapped in the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, feeling suffocated. "Little guy, if you don't come up with a solution soon, I'm afraid you people won't be able to hold out for much longer?"
Just as everyone was marveling at the enchanting, colorful journey, that familiar voice rang in Liu Ziming's ears once more. But this time, the voice was far less melodious, sounding rather jarring. "Heh, it seems you are indeed somewhat strange. However, I do know a thing or two about the elven race. Could this all be the Elf King's instruction?"
When Liu Ziming spoke these words without trying to hide them from everyone, the others looked particularly strange. They found that Liu Ziming was talking to himself, which seemed very odd. Could it be that this guy was influenced by the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey?
"You, you, how do you know about the Elf King? He is the strongest king of our Elf race, with unfathomable strength. Do you have some connection with him?"
Liu Ziming had actually mentioned the Elf King unintentionally, but he hadn't expected the eerie voice to sound so frightened, its tone even trembling. "Haha, I thought you were fearless. It's just a little Elf King, why are you so terrified?"
Now that he knew what this guy was afraid of, Liu Ziming had no more scruples. If he didn't seize this guy's weakness, he might really be in trouble today. "How could you do this? The Elf King is the supreme ruler of our Elf race. How could you slander him like this? Do you really not value your life?"
Liu Ziming never expected that what he thought was the weakness of this guardian deity would turn out to be quite hostile, and he realized that he had really gone too far this time.
"Spider, what are you doing? Has your mind been affected too? Why are you talking to yourself like that? Please don't do that, or we really can't stand it!"
The old Flame Dragon couldn't bear it any longer and actually ran to Liu Ziming's side, shaking him repeatedly in an attempt to wake him up quickly. However, he never expected that Liu Ziming was not the person they thought he was.
"Hehe, Senior Flame Dragon, don't be afraid. I was just discussing some issues with the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey. It may have affected everyone, but it will be resolved soon."
Seeing Liu Ziming's nonchalant expression, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to him, they would have been completely lost in the Monster Forest. "Don't try to scare us, you're always so suspicious and mysterious. How come I didn't hear that voice?" After all, Slime Jing had a rather fiery temper, and he spoke his mind because he genuinely hadn't heard the voice.
"Hehe, I don't know why either, but that guy actually said he waited and waited for over a thousand years. I wonder what he was talking about?"
Liu Ziming looked completely innocent, stretching out his hands with a helpless expression, because he genuinely didn't know why the Guardian God would say such a thing.
"Haha, little guy, if you can pass the test of our elven race, you can quickly improve your strength in the Monster Forest, and you can even use all the resources of the entire elven race to your heart's content. Where else can you find such a good deal?"
Just as Liu Ziming was looking completely innocent, the voice rang out again, sounding particularly happy.
"Why should I accept the Elven race's test? I have absolutely no interest in the Elven race. As for your so-called Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, I don't really like it either; it seems to have nothing to do with me." When Liu Ziming finished speaking, he never dreamed that he would actually get into such big trouble, and not just a little bit. His nightmare seemed to have only just begun.
Chapter 341 The Special Identity of Yuebai
"Hehe, since that's how it is, little guy, you mustn't regret it. If you can pass the test of our elven race, that would be the best thing in the world. Since you've chosen to give up, don't blame me for not warning you. Although you have a map of the Monster Forest, it doesn't seem to be as simple as you think."
The guardian deity of the enchanting seven-colored journey fell silent after speaking, as if he had never existed, which seemed particularly eerie. "Why does your expression look so serious? Did that guy say something to you again?"
After a period of rest, the cat angel's body and mind had recovered considerably. Seeing the somewhat grave expression on Liu Ziming's face, he couldn't help but think of the horrors of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey and said with some worry, "Hehe, it's nothing. This guy said that as long as we pass the elven race's test, we can use all the elven race's resources at will. Only a fool would believe his nonsense!"
Seeing Liu Ziming's nonchalant expression, everyone's heart couldn't help but clench. The resources of the Elf race could be used at will, and they were just giving up on this guy like that. Was he really a fool?
"Are you out of your mind? It's just a test, isn't it? Haven't we faced enough dangers in the Monster Forest? Why won't you agree? You're really something, wasting such a great opportunity. I don't know what you're even good for!"
Liu Ziming never expected that when he told everyone about his conversation with the Guardian, the crazy girl Slime Shizuka would kick him hard and look extremely disgusted. He didn't know why she was acting like that.
"What are you doing? Are you after the resources of the elves? Don't you use your brain? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Have you ever seen a pie fall from the sky?" Liu Ziming covered his buttocks with his hand, looking particularly bizarre. He was even afraid to speak loudly when he saw the slime mirror.
Because he didn't want to get kicked in the butt by that guy again; he was capable of doing that.
"Alright, Spider Boss, we've been staying here far too long. If we don't get out of the Misty Forest soon, we might really be in danger?"
The Giant Ape Elder couldn't stand it any longer. He felt that if Slime Mirror's fiery personality continued to entangle with Liu Ziming, it would only waste more time. He didn't want that to happen, so he spoke up. "Yes! Yes! Yes! We should hurry up and get out of this Misty Forest, otherwise, who knows what dangers might arise when it gets dark?"
Hearing that the Giant Ape had come to his rescue, Liu Ziming didn't hesitate at all. He immediately stuffed his map of the Monster Forest into his pocket, a disdainful look on his face. He glanced at the Slime Mirror and swaggered forward. "Everyone, please be careful and follow behind this guy, otherwise, if you're not careful, some kind of hole might appear, and that would be really troublesome."
Just as everyone was preparing to set off, no one noticed that the elven clan flower, the Rainbow Graceful Journey, who had suddenly appeared before them, was standing behind them like a little tail, looking quite strange. "You stinky spider, look what you've done! That eerie Rainbow Graceful Journey is following us like a persistent ghost. You'd better get rid of it!" Because Slime Mirror had noticed the Rainbow Graceful Journey following him, he felt uneasy and shouted loudly.
"Heh, don't you girls especially like flowers? Maybe the Colorful Enchanting Journey has taken a liking to you? You'd better sort it out yourself, I don't have that kind of ability."
Liu Ziming hadn't taken the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey to heart at all, but he never expected that just as they were about to cross the Misty Forest, Yuebai would stand smiling in front of them, looking at everyone. "Holy crap, isn't this the girl we ran into when we entered the Demon King's City? Did she get us the tokens? Otherwise, we really wouldn't have been able to get in!" The Giant Ape Senior knew Yuebai very well; he had unintentionally bumped into everyone and then obtained the city entry tokens for Liu Ziming—he remembered it vividly. "Hehe, it's nice to see everyone again. How have you been doing in the Demon Beast Forest these past few days?"
No one expected that Yuebai would suddenly appear in the Misty Forest, and she seemed to be very familiar with the place, showing no fear whatsoever.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you experienced being surrounded by thousands of Tier 7 magical beasts, the Azure Wolves, you wouldn't say that."
Slime Mirror never had a good impression of Moon White. If it weren't for Liu Ziming, why would she have given this guy the monster mask that she had gone to so much trouble to obtain? "Hehe, hello! How did you suddenly appear here? Don't you feel any fear of the Monster Forest?"
Liu Ziming didn't know Yuebai very well. She had simply given him a city entry pass when he entered the city, and he didn't want to owe her a favor, so he stole three demon king masks to give to her. "Why can't I be here? This is my home. Is there a problem?" When Yuebai said these words, everyone was somewhat unsettled.
They simply couldn't imagine how a beautiful young girl could live in the Monster Forest. "Could this girl be some kind of monster?" one of them asked. "Little girl, you can't joke like that. This is the Monster Forest! How could you possibly live here?"
The Giant Ape was remarkably composed. When Yuebai mentioned living in the Demon Beast Forest, the Giant Ape, though somewhat puzzled, still directly asked, "I am indeed the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord, but I am also a princess of the Elf race. Is there any problem with me living in the Demon Beast Forest?" Yuebai's words were like a bombshell, instantly exploding in everyone's hearts. They could no longer remain calm.
Chapter 342 A Slightly Different Elf Princess
"Could it be that Yuebai's father, the city lord of the Demon King's City, is also connected to the Elf King of the Elf Clan? That's too bizarre!"
"My God, what did I just hear? It's like the biggest joke in the world! The elves are imprisoned in the Demon Beast Forest by the Demon King of the Demon King's City, how could this girl be both the Demon King's daughter and the princess of the elves? My head is really spinning!"
"My goodness, no wonder this girl was so generous. When we entered the city, she made a simple move to let us into the Demon King's City and easily obtained the token. I think I understand now?"
Seeing the somewhat puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Yuebai remained calm. Very few people knew his true identity, and he hadn't revealed it to threaten them, but rather to seek cooperation. "Ahem, Miss Yuebai, your joke isn't funny at all. We're not interested in knowing, so let's just pretend you never said it?"
Even Liu Ziming, whose brain often goes astray, couldn't imagine that Yuebai's identity was so special. He already knew that she was the daughter of the city lord of the Demon King's City, but now it was revealed that she was the 183rd princess of the Elf race. He couldn't stay calm anymore.
"Hehehehehe! What's so funny? That's just how it is. Why would I lie to you?"
Yuebai had already guessed at everyone's doubts. He seemed unconcerned and even chuckled, laughing heartily.
