Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 565 The Elves, the Threat of the Horde. (5400)

"Sigh..." The ancient elf chieftain sighed softly.

He raised his staff and waved it gently.

The other elves all put down their weapons.

Then he slowly said, "It seems that this is indeed a misunderstanding."

The elven chieftain also knew that Cao Xing's words made sense.

"Please allow me to apologize to this human lady."

"Brave and strong Lady Renis, please accept my sincerest apologies."

After he finished speaking, he slowly bent down and gave a solemn bow to Renis.

Other elves also bowed to them.

These elves were quite straightforward, and after the misunderstanding was cleared up, they readily admitted their mistakes.

The female archer's anger gradually subsided when she saw them apologize.

She looked at her lord, as if seeking his opinion.

Cao Xing nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Renis understood his thoughts, took a deep breath and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, let's let it go."

The elven chieftain solemnly said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Lady Renis. You are still a friend of our ancient elven race. We can talk again about traveling to your territory."

"However, please come with me into the tribe first to discuss the specifics."

Upon hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Cao Xing's face.

It seems that my plan to abduct all these ancient elves and sell them to the Giant Merchant Guild is no longer necessary.

He readily agreed, "Okay."

Soon, the two walked straight up to the group of elves.

The crowd automatically parted to separate them.

The elven chieftain turned around and led them forward.

They hadn't walked more than a few meters when a large number of bushes and vines appeared ahead, blocking their path.

As the elven chieftain waved his staff, he uttered a series of low syllables.

These plants all parted automatically, creating a wide path for them.

We followed this hidden passage for several hundred meters.

The scene before me suddenly became clear!
Cao Xing saw a wide expanse of woodland ahead.

The surrounding area is filled with towering trees with thick, straight trunks, on which treehouses, wooden platforms, and various traps are built.

Clearly, these large trees were the place where these elves rested and fought.

In addition, the ground is covered with flowers of various colors, and some flowers have climbed onto the trunks of giant trees and the small wooden houses, creating a scene like a fairy tale.

The temperature here is much higher than in the dense forest.

Even though there was no open flame or heating device, it still felt very warm.

With the addition of various flowers, this place is decorated like a paradise.

Rene couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful place!"

These elves have lived here for so many years and have built the tribe into something quite beautiful.

Chief Auriel, the elven chieftain, explained from the side, "This is the outer area of ​​our tribe. The battle a few days ago allowed that group of human mercenaries to invade this area."

As he spoke, Cao Xing and the others looked ahead.

There were indeed traces of war there.

Giant trees collapsed, and the treehouses on them were smashed into powder and fragments, with traces of blood still remaining.

They remained silent and continued to follow the elven chieftain.

Soon, they arrived at the tribal area, inside a large building constructed from branches and vines.

"Please come in with me, gentlemen."

After saying this, the elven chieftain entered the building.

Cao Xing and Renis followed them in.

Inside, there was also a spacious area with a comfortable temperature.

Just then, Cao Xing saw a group of strange creatures.

They were a group of female elves flying in mid-air.

They wore light green chiffon dresses, the hems of which swayed gently in the air.

It has a tall and slender figure, with a pair of transparent wings growing on its back, like butterfly wings, making it appear light and agile.

Her delicate face had eyes like clear lake water, and her long, flowing hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adorned with a few small wildflowers.

She exudes a natural and tranquil beauty.

Cao Xing and Renis stared at the group of female elves, momentarily stunned.

Renis murmured, "What a beautiful elf..."

These female elves truly possessed stunningly beautiful appearances!
Furthermore, the transparent wings on their backs make them appear even more otherworldly.

At the same time, as Renis spoke, all the female elves flying around turned their gazes in that direction.

Upon noticing the two human figures at the doorway, fear immediately filled the eyes of the female elves. They chirped softly and flew around in panic.

Chieftain Auriel waved his staff again and spoke a few words in ancient Elvish.

The group of female elves that had been flying around randomly gradually calmed down, but they still looked at Cao Xing and the others with wariness.

At this moment, Cao Xing also noticed something else: behind the group of female elves, there were many figures lying down.

They were a group of elven warriors, but they were covered in vines and leaves, and looked like they had suffered serious injuries.

Auril turned around and said, "May I ask your name, lord of this other world?"

Just call me Cao Xing.

"Lord Cao Xing, these are some of the reasons why I cannot go to your territory immediately."

"These soldiers are too badly injured to endure the long journey. We need to wait until they recover and are able to move before we can go."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

He didn't speak, but instead observed the injuries of the elven warriors.

At the same time, the group of female elves had already begun to move.

They kept flapping their wings, then flew to the overhead area and gently plucked a bright green leaf.

Hold the leaf in your hands and gently exhale.

Before long, a glistening dewdrop appeared on the emerald green leaf.

Then, the female elves would fly to the warriors and drip the dew they had just collected onto their wounds.

This action appears to be healing the soldiers.

Cao Xing asked, "Chief Auriel, according to your estimate, how long will it take for these warriors to regain their mobility?"

The elven chieftain pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the exact time, but I estimate it will take at least ten days to half a month."

Cao Xing frowned. The monster siege was still nine days away, and judging from that time, it would be too late.

Chief Auriel said with some frustration, "However, half a month is just my expectation. This sacred tribe is still shrouded in crisis."

"Although we repelled those mercenaries last time."

"But I suspect they won't give up so easily and will come back again."

"At that time, there may be even more wounded."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, knowing that this was a very likely thing to happen.

After all, there are hundreds of elves here!
Each of these Pokémon is incredibly valuable. If you could capture and sell all of them, you'd be rolling in money!
Even Cao Xing had this idea before, let alone those mercenaries!
However, Cao Xing already considered these elves as his own, so of course he wouldn't let anyone else have a chance.

So he took out several hundred bottles of [Improved Advanced Life Elixir] from his backpack.

"Chief Auriel, see if these secret medicines can be used to help the warriors recover from their injuries."

After taking the secret medicine from Cao Xing, the elven chieftain examined it for a while, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

"It's actually a life-saving elixir? And the method of making it seems to be quite ancient."

"This secret medicine can indeed help the soldiers' injuries."

Cao Xing said, "It's good that it works. In that case, let's give it to the soldiers first."

The elven chieftain said solemnly, "Thank you, Lord Cao Xing!"

After saying that, he waved his staff, drawing the secret medicine from his hand.

Then he uttered a few words in ancient Elvish.

The female elves immediately flew over cautiously and took the elixirs.

Then it flew over and fed the wounded lying on the ground.

After drinking a bottle of life-saving elixir, their pale faces regained some color.

"%……￥#……"

The female elves made clear and melodious sounds, appearing very excited.

Although I couldn't understand it, it sounded very nice.

As the tribal chief watched the warriors gradually recover, a look of emotion appeared on his face.

"This secret medicine has a pretty good healing effect. At this rate, it should be able to restore their mobility in two or three days."

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Two or three days is more than enough.

However, compared to using life-saving elixirs, the recovery speed is still not as fast as using ice therapy.

Cao Xing said, "Chief Auriel, besides this secret medicine, I have another method of recovery that is even faster."

"It can not only make these soldiers energetic again in a short period of time."

"Even if they get injured in the future, as long as they don't lose an arm or a leg, they can recover to their peak condition in a short time."

Upon hearing this, the elven chieftain immediately turned his gaze towards them, asking with slight surprise, "There is such a powerful method?"

"Doesn't this mean that these warriors can become immortal beings?"

Cao Xing laughed and said, "I wouldn't say you'll never die, but I can definitely increase your survival ability several times over."

Clearly, he was referring to the SSS-level talent [Eternal Power]. Once these elves are recruited into the territory, they can enjoy the blessing effect, and this injury will have absolutely no impact.

The elven chieftain immediately became interested.

Just as he was about to ask what method it was,

Cao Xing, standing in front of him, suddenly changed his expression.

He quickly said, "Chief Auriel, someone is approaching the tribe. Warn them to be careful."

Hearing this, the elven mage was somewhat puzzled, as he had not sensed anything unusual.

But he believed Cao Xing's words, quickly gripped the staff, and slammed it into the ground!
"All on alert!" (Ancient Elven language)

Centered on the staff in his hand, the plants on the ground seemed to come alive, their leaves fluttering wildly, conveying Chief Auriel's words.

Instantly, the warriors of this tribe went on high alert!
The female elves flapped their wings and hid in a corner.

The elven warriors outside quickly climbed onto the platform of the large tree, ready for battle.

at the same time.

A large group of shadowy figures had already appeared in the forest outside the elven tribe.

They were dressed in identical armor and weapons, and each of them had a serious expression on their face. They surrounded them from different directions!
These are a group of soldiers!
Soon, they approached the tribe.

Neither side said a word.

Upon arrival, the soldiers launched an immediate attack.

The elven archers on the tree trunk also launched an attack upon seeing the enemy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A large number of arrows were fired.

The soldiers continued to wield their weapons, methodically dealing with the ranged attacks.

The two sides have already engaged in combat.

At the same time, Cao Xing, Renis, and the others also arrived at the open space outside the tribe.

Seeing the large group of armored figures around him, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Huh? Weren't they supposed to be a group of mercenaries attacking the elven tribe? They look more like a group of soldiers."

"And judging from the style of their armor, they don't seem to belong to the Ice Crystal King or the Orchid Kingdom. So which country's soldiers are these?"

I glanced at their information.

Kingdom Soldier: Jaden Baker

[Race: Human Race]

[Affiliation: Kingdom of Ostia]

[Level: 35 (Tier 4 Elite Creature)]

【property:……】

……

"They are soldiers from the Kingdom of Ostia."

"So, this forest is near the Kingdom of Ostia?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

He had heard of this kingdom before.

Having once destroyed the Kingdom of Renoir, where the Queen of Nen resided, it was considered a formidable force among the surrounding kingdoms.

Their gaze returned to the battlefield, ready to strike at any moment.

Below, the soldiers also displayed astonishing combat power.

The dense swarm of arrows did not stop their advance, and they continued to close in on the elven warriors!
Meanwhile, the elven spearmen made their appearance.

They gripped their spears tightly, their right arm muscles bulging slightly, and then hurled them with all their might!
"Wow!"

Sharp spears, accompanied by sonic booms that pierced the air, struck the kingdom's soldiers.

Pierce through their bodies through their armor!
A large number of soldiers fell one after another.

Seeing this, the soldiers showed no panic.

One of the soldiers, who resembled a squad leader, shouted: "Shield Guards, form ranks!"

Upon hearing the order, a large group of warriors clad in breastplates and wielding large black shields charged out from the rear.

They held their giant shields in front of them, blocking the spears and arrows.

Then they began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Soon, they closed in on the group of ancient elven archers and prepared to shoot them down from the trees.

Just then, the group of elven warriors charged out wielding longswords and battle axes, and the two sides immediately engaged in close combat.

However, in terms of numbers and equipment quality, the ancient elves were far inferior to the soldiers of this kingdom.

With the close cooperation of the Kingdom of Ostia, the elven warriors were driven back in defeat!

If you're going to watch, you're going to lose.

Just then, the elven chieftain Auriel quickly approached.

He raised his staff and chanted incantations.

"The will of nature is being violated; our home is being attacked; our land is being trampled upon."

Heed my call and unleash your fury upon these invaders!

In an instant! The plants and trees within a thousand meters around seemed to be imbued with some kind of spirituality.

"Wow~!"

The vegetation began to grow wildly, and the trees were constantly waving their branches, attacking the enemy!
One by one, the soldiers charged halfway forward, only to find their legs entangled in the weeds growing beneath their feet.

Before they could react, a large number of vines pierced through their arms, hearts, and even brains!
Inflicting fatal damage one after another!

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

With a series of piercing sounds, dozens of soldiers had fallen in the blink of an eye!

Moreover, the surrounding jungle, spanning a kilometer, seemed to have been completely revitalized.

The plants began to go into a frenzied slaughter, and more and more soldiers were killed.

Even the soldiers wielding giant shields and wearing heavy armor couldn't stop them.

The vines and weeds were incredibly pervasive, seeping into the gaps in their armor and even into their bodies.

They could even feel these vines growing wildly inside their bodies after absorbing their flesh and blood, instantly clogging their blood vessels and filling their internal organs!
Such a terrifying sight caused even these well-trained soldiers to let out terrified screams.

"Damn it! What kind of trick is this?"

"Quickly block these vines and cut down the weeds on the ground!"

"No, these vines are growing too fast!"

Clearly, the elven chieftain's move caught the soldiers of the Kingdom of Ostia completely off guard.

The advantage that the kingdom's soldiers had just established crumbled instantly with this outburst!

This surprised Cao Xing.

The elven chieftain likely used the commander-level skill – Nature's Wrath.

In this forest environment, it plays a truly powerful role!

They could even resolve this crisis without Cao Xing's intervention.

However, this situation did not last long.

As wisps of black mist spread from behind, they also brought with them an evil and chilling aura.

The soldiers voluntarily made way for the black fog.

"Hehehe..."

As a sinister laugh rang out, a strange figure appeared before the group of soldiers.

He was dressed in a black robe and held a strangely shaped black staff that looked like twisted arms. He exuded a dark aura.

"This kind of elven magic... is rather interesting..."

"However, it still can't compare to the power of a forbidden spell."

"Compared to my magic, it's nothing."

With that, he slammed his black staff into the ground!
A terrifying black aura emanated from the staff and spread outwards to the surrounding ground.

The grass and plants, the moment they came into contact with this black mist, seemed to have all their moisture sucked out, and withered instantly.

Then, in a short time, it turned into a cloud of black dust and dissipated into the air.

Even the elven warriors felt their bodies losing moisture rapidly upon contact with the black aura, and their skin quickly became shriveled.

Realizing the danger emanating from the black aura, the elven chieftain immediately ordered, "Retreat!"

The elven warriors retreated without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the black mist spread to an area of ​​over a thousand meters.

All the giant trees and plants, hundreds of meters tall, that were contaminated by this black aura turned into black dust and dissipated into the air...

Even the ground turned into a thick, black ink!

It is truly barren.

Everyone stared solemnly at the scene before them.

Even Cao Xing was somewhat surprised.

"What kind of magic is this? How can it be so powerful?"

"Moreover, it seems that this spell has also affected the terrain, and no plants will be able to grow in this area for a long time to come."

"Ordinary people and animals that set foot in this area will die in a short time because the residual power from it will invade their bodies, forming a forbidden zone for life."

Clearly, this spell is powerful, but also very dangerous.

Cao Xing then remembered something Victoria had once said.

A wizard who had mastered dark magic fled to the Kingdom of Ostia.

Could it be that this person also possesses dark magic?
