Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 378 Enlightenment
"Oh? As long as you approve, that's enough?" Zhou Leng asked.

The elves remained silent.

Silver Lake Moon said crisply, "The laws of the Elven Empire stipulate that if an alien saves an elf in a moment of crisis, then as long as enough elves use their blood to form a blood oath, the status of an elven prophet can be granted. Once you become an elven prophet, you can be teleported to the elven city, just like us, instead of the dungeon."

Zhou Leng said, "What if someone betrays me?"

“Oaths sworn in blood cannot be betrayed. Moreover, this is a tacit rule of our Elven Empire for countless years, and to this day, no law has ever tried an Elven prophet.”

Zhou Lengdao: "So, in other words, there have always been elf prophets like me, and there might be quite a few?"

Yinhuyue remained silent for a long time before saying, "Yes."

"It seems that you elves are quite adaptable. Why have all the people I've met along the way been such blockheads?"

The elves fell silent.

Silver Lake Moon said, "Under my witness, all the spirits we encounter from now on will acknowledge you as a prophet. Please show us the way, prophet; we will follow you to the death!"

After she finished speaking, she actually knelt down on the ground and recited an oath of loyalty to Zhou Leng.

Three wild elves behind Silver Lake Moon were also frightened and knelt on the ground, reciting oaths of loyalty.

After they finished chanting, a glimmer of white light appeared between their brows and then slowly faded away.

Zhou Leng had heard of oaths of allegiance; this power possessed immense magical binding force, similar to the power of a demonic contract.

It is almost impossible to violate.

Zhou Leng looked at the kneeling Silver Lake Moon gazing up at him and sighed, "I never expected that your arrogant elf race would have such a wise member."

The moon over the silver lake bowed its head and remained silent.

The elf behind her knew perfectly well what was going on.

They were terrified by the information they had received from the demons and giant insects.

They interrogated the demons and giant insects and learned that a large army had already marched towards Silverlake, and that Silverlake would face annihilation once the lower-ranking blood hunts ended.

I was filled with anxiety the whole way.

Now, having encountered another terrifying humanoid giant insect, Silver Lake Moon has no choice but to do this.

Seeing the four wild elves take their oath, the rest of the wild elves had no choice but to kneel down and take their oath in unison.

Sixteen wild elves swore allegiance and became members of the elven prophet's guard.

Zhou Leng pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know that the allied forces of demons and giant insects are about to attack Silver Lake Town?"

The sixteen wild elves remained kneeling on the ground, saying nothing.

Zhou Leng immediately understood and said, "Get up. As long as you can get me out, I will ensure your safety along the way."

Silver Lake Moon said, "Please, Prophet, lead us to Silver Lake Sea. She is the eldest princess of our Silver Lake tribe. Under her leadership, we will work together to defeat the foreign demons and giant insects."

Behind Zhou Leng, the broken-down wild elves wore expressions of sorrow.

They all knew that Silver Lake Sea had been crushed alive.

Zhou Lengdao said, "Princess Silver Lake was killed by a demon. From today onwards, you, Silver Lake Moon, are the eldest princess of the Silver Lake tribe. If the tribe encounters any misfortune, you have the right to summon the Silver Lake tribe to fight against the demons."

Yin Huyue was stunned for a moment, and an unprecedented flame ignited in her heart.

She never imagined that she, an ordinary elf, would have the opportunity to become a noble princess.

Normally, she wouldn't have thought much of it, but now, Silver Lake Town is about to be destroyed.

"Your subordinate will obey the Prophet's command." Silver Lake Moon bowed her head and accepted the order.

The elves behind Silverlake Moon struggled with their emotions; they could not accept this appointment.

The Elf race has a strict hierarchy.

But having sworn an oath of allegiance, their gazes gradually calmed after a brief struggle.

"Can you use protective or enhancement spells?" Zhou Leng looked at the crowd.

“I can,” the elves said.

"Alright, when you encounter battle, remember to use it on me first. Also, how many elves do I need to find to complete the blood oath?"

“At least one hundred innate masters,” Yin Huyue said.

"I hope you can persuade them. If you can't, I will."

"do not worry."

What intelligence have you obtained?

Yinhuyue slowly revealed the information she had obtained.

"This is the plan of the Heavenly Calamity Envoy..."

"It is said that after the Heavenly Calamity Envoy entered the giant insect's mother nest and showed a trace of the Heavenly Calamity God's power to the mother nest, the giant insect's mother nest bowed down and was willing to fully cooperate with the Heavenly Calamity God."

“A group of demons are hunting down elves, preparing to sacrifice them. They not only want to kill the backbone of us elves, but also want to use our power to corrupt the artifacts.”

"I have a way to give you greater power, but you must become a Thousand Blood Hunter."

Zhou Leng looked at Yin Huyue with a determined gaze.

"explain."

"Instead of letting the demons corrupt the artifact with the corpses of the elves, it is better to use those corpses to complete the investiture of the elven prophet. At that time, the elven artifact will grant you even greater blessings."

The other elves wanted to object, but they could only keep quiet.

“Silver Lake Moon is right,” an elf sighed helplessly.

"Tell me more specifically."

"We will transform the corpses of the dead elves into elven fire, and convert the elves' hatred for monsters into gratitude towards you. In this way, your aura will approach that of the elven saints, and you will be able to receive blessings like ordinary elves."

"Is this also your way of saving yourself?"

"Yes. If Silver Lake Town and the underground city are breached, our only chance of survival is to rely on the strong. I've heard that the Tree People have established a special base on your Blue Star."

“You’re not that old, but you have a lot on your mind.” Zhou Leng gave Yin Huyue a deep look.

She had overheard many of her conversations with Flourishing Roots along the way.

I didn't pay much attention to this wild elf at the time, so I said whatever came to mind, but I never expected it to play such an important role here.

“We also want to live.” Yin Huyue’s eyes were clear, without the slightest pretense.

“Very good, this is the attitude of cooperation. As long as you help me leave alive, I can give you a relatively safe place to live. Whether it is the world of demons, the world of dwarves, or the world of humans, I have a way.”

“We believe in your extraordinary abilities.” Yin Huyue bowed sincerely in gratitude. “Your injuries are healing too slowly.”

As Zhou Leng spoke, he took out a cup and poured out three mouthfuls of the dazzling liquid.

The cups transformed into dazzling colored light bulbs within the cave, illuminating the cavern.

"Radiant juice..."

The wild elves murmured softly.

"Thank you, great prophet Zhou Leng." Yin Huyue took the cup and took a sip.

Do you know where the monster altar is located?

"We only know the general location. Once we get nearby, we can find out more by interrogating the demons."

"You lead the way."

"Yes, I have another request."

"explain."

“These injured elves are a burden to you; you should let us drag them along.”

"can."

Zhou Leng loosened the rope.

Two elves came over and used magic to transform the rope into thick branches and leaves, forming a cushion of leaves to carry the remains of the elf.

The procession moved forward, with two sturdy wild elves jogging slowly, dragging a thick mat of leaves.

The broken elves breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to roll around on the ground.

The group continued their journey, encountering demons or giant insects from time to time.

When things are quiet, Zhou Leng goes alone; when things are busy, they join forces.

Occasionally you'll encounter some teams of Pokémon.

Some of those who made offensive remarks died on the spot.

Some refused to join the group, so they were given leaf mats instead.

Some dutifully joined the Prophet's Guard.

The team is growing stronger.

When the number of members in the Elf Guard reached thirty, the number on Zhou Leng's arm finally reached 1000.

At the same time, my arm felt burning.

Zhou Leng lifted his sleeve, and everyone saw the bright red words radiating intense heat.

The entire forearm gradually turned red.

Zhou Leng asked, "My arm feels hot, what's wrong?"

Yinhuyue's eyes shone brightly as she said, "This is probably a revelation from our ancestors..."

A few wild elves nodded slightly, but most disagreed.

Zhou Leng heard some auditory hallucinations.

There were sounds of Zerg and demons, a cacophony of noise.

Soon, words like "blood sacrifice," "altar," and "capture elves" were heard in the demon's voice.

I vaguely sensed that a place was calling to me, and it was the direction I was heading.

Zhou Leng said, "The power of the elven ancestors is guiding me..."

Zhou Leng pointed in a direction and said, "In that direction, the demons are building an altar, preparing to sacrifice my elven friends. And the elven ancestors are using those enemies as a test for my advancement to prophet."

"I see……"

The elven guards looked at the bright red arm and were absolutely certain.

The wounded wild spirits harbored resentment and were half-believing, half-doubting.

"let's go."

After jogging for a while, a group of elves suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Which of you has received the revelation of the ancestors?" The elves shouted as soon as they approached, before either side could even see clearly.

The elves were taken aback, and Silver Lake Moon exclaimed, "Why do you say that?"

“We just felt the revelation from our ancestors, which guided us to come together.”

“As expected…” The elven guard members looked at Zhou Leng.

“It is him, the great elven prophet, the human warrior Zhou Leng,” said Silver Lake Moon.

Zhou Leng revealed his burning left arm.

“This is the power.” The captain knelt on one knee, and the other team members hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

The emaciated wild spirits stared blankly, and slowly, some of them shed tears.

He wasted his limbs, only to find out that this person was actually a prophet.

Zhou Leng never expected that a special force would guide them here.

After a moment's thought, I guessed a few possibilities.

One possibility is that the large number of elves who died this time triggered the protective power of the elf ancestors.

Such protective power requires stringent conditions, and as a result, only one person meets the criteria, or is the person who is closest to the standard among everyone.

The way the elven ancestors judged friend from foe was likely similar to that of the Tree of Life, mistaking themselves for treants, who were allies of the elves in ancient times.

Another possibility is that the elven artifact sensed a threat and, based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, chose itself.

The Elf Artifact probably wanted to choose elves, but the elves were useless.

Zhou Leng looked at the feverish blood test results; from then on, his name was legitimate.

He glanced back at the mangled wild elf on the branch.

Some were flushed, some were fidgeting, some looked bewildered, and some were so angry they fainted.

Those members of the Prophet's Guard looked at Zhou Leng and then at Yin Huyue, and their admiration for the two grew even stronger.

Yin Huyue spoke eloquently, but she was a little confused inside. Was she really a prophet?
