"Her Majesty the Queen has never liked to drag things out. Now that she has decided to attack the monster's lair, she will definitely resolve it as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Bai Ye was even more delighted. His eyes flickered slightly, and he asked,

"That voice just now was talking about a war behemoth. It must be a weapon of war from the Elven Kingdom. Can I go take a look?"

Soyog nodded again. Her Majesty the Queen had already given the order that Bai Ye could go anywhere in the entire Elf Kingdom except for the central laboratory.

Seeing Soyog nod, Bai Ye grinned, gently placed Soyog on his back, and then took off chasing after the group of elves.

The elves were quite fast; Bai Ye had already lost sight of them after the delay. Fortunately, Soyog knew the direction and could give him directions.

With the right direction in mind, Bai Ye arrived at the [War Beast Reserve] mentioned by the voice within two minutes.

This "War Beast Storage" was not the kind of warehouse or anything like that Bai Ye had imagined, but rather a very large and well-maintained underground space.

A tall male elf with a blue horn on his forehead stood at the entrance of the crypt and roared.

"Elves fighting in groups, go to the left; elves fighting alone, go to the right. Remember your numbers and mount the corresponding war beasts!!"

Under the command of this male elf, a large number of elves entered the underground space in an orderly manner, without any disturbance or pushing.

Bai Ye was someone the Queen had personally designated to be treated well, a person of special status. Therefore, the elves maintaining order didn't make things too difficult for him and allowed him to enter the underground space with a group of elves.

Upon entering the underground space, Bai Ye was slightly surprised, because the environment of the entire underground space was not as dark or even gloomy as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was extremely bright, and the air was exceptionally fresh, without any stuffy feeling that one might expect underground.

Noticing Bai Ye's surprise, Soyog, who was beside him, explained in a low voice,

"There is no fixed light source here. The light comes from tiny, algae-like plants that can float in the air. These algae also purify the air, so no matter how long this place has been closed, the air will always be fresh when you come in."

Nodding, secretly praising the wonders of the Elf Kingdom, Bai Ye turned around and began searching for the war beasts used as weapons by the elves.

When it comes to war behemoths, Bai Ye's first thought is of legendary behemoths, huge beasts used to charge through city walls during sieges. However, after seeing the elves' war behemoths, his fantasies were completely shattered.

To his left, one could see enormous monsters lying quietly, their eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Of course, whether these giant beasts are sleeping or not is not important. What is important is that these giant beasts have perfectly round bodies, looking like giant spheres. If their bodies were any smaller, they could compete with pandas in cuteness. They don't feel like "war" giant beasts at all.

The elves, skilled in group battles, saw nothing wrong with the behemoth before them and opened hidden doors on its body one by one, entering them one by one.

Based on what he could vaguely see when the door opened, Bai Ye estimated that the inside of this giant beast was not a single, huge space, but rather a series of independent single rooms.

After being struck down by these war behemoths, Bai Ye, still holding onto hope, closed his eyes and turned to his right. Over there was where the elves, skilled in independent combat, received their war behemoths.

Hopefully, these war behemoths will at least resemble war behemoths in some way.

Silently praying, Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, and then, something even more shattering his illusions appeared.

There stood tall, faceless humanoid creatures with long limbs.

Their enormous size should have added to their imposing presence, but unfortunately, their featureless faces were a major eyesore, making them look like giant dolls that were never finished.

The elves, skilled in independent combat, each went to the side of these giant creatures, gently pulled, and opened a door at their ankles, quickly stepping inside.

Looking to the left and then to the right, at those large creatures that were either adorable or comical, Bai Ye realized that he wasn't so confident about eradicating the monster's lair. He couldn't help but start to doubt whether it was the right decision to cooperate with the Elf Queen.

However, the elves soon showed Bai Ye why these beasts, which didn't look like they could be used for war, were given the imposing prefix "war".

The elf in charge of command and maintaining order stood in the center of the underground space, suddenly raising his arm high and shouting,

"Attention all combat units, activating the War Beast for combat testing."

With this command, the war behemoths began to change drastically.

The first to change were the round, chubby war beasts. Their back muscles and skin moved with incredible speed, transforming into a pair of metallic hands in a second. These hands then slammed down hard on their backs, instantly turning the entire war beast's body into a cold, metallic color, giving it a hard and icy appearance.

Then, the metallic hand retracted behind its back, and a pair of fiery red hands reappeared, patting its own body in the same way. Then, on the surface of the seemingly metal-made war behemoth, a layer of vermilion flames began to burn fiercely.

Subsequently, various giant hands appeared in succession. With the movement of these giant hands, the war behemoth that originally looked only cute had become a walking meteorite, and the slightest movement of its limbs would create terrifying physical attacks and magical storms.

Chapter 134 Thorn Web

Watching the harmless, adorable creature transform into a walking natural disaster, Bai Ye was filled with disbelief, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

"These war behemoths themselves do not possess combat capabilities, but they can greatly enhance the abilities of the elves that enter their bodies, amplifying these abilities by ten to dozens of times. Right now, they are only using some self-enhancing abilities, and the effects are not obvious. Their true terror will be revealed when they use their offensive capabilities on the battlefield."

Seeing Bai Ye's shock, Soyog explained in a timely manner,

"At that time, any fireball spell can turn into a meteor shower, and any lightning strike spell can turn into the wrath of the Thunder God. And as long as there are no elven warriors inside them, these war beasts will be completely powerless and very easy to manage and raise."

After regaining his senses from the shock of these swarming war behemoths, Bai Ye remembered that there was another group of war behemoths operating independently behind him, and quickly turned around.

Then, Bai Ye was shocked once again. Under his astonished gaze, those giant humanoid creatures that seemed to have been molded from the same mold had now become different from one another.

In a short time, these facialless, pale-skinned giant beasts transformed into giant elves. Although they did not look the same, they all had handsome faces and slender limbs, which, combined with their enormous size, gave them an amazing sense of savage beauty.

Upon closer inspection, Bai Ye discovered something even more surprising: the faces and physical characteristics of these giant elves were exactly the same as those of the elves that had entered their bodies.

Take the giant elf standing in the third row, fourth column, for example. Bai Ye clearly remembered that the elf who entered his body had two lush green branches on its head that looked like horns. Now, two lush green branches have also sprouted on the head of this giant elf, but because of its size, these two branches look like two small trees.

"These war behemoths used for individual combat have relatively simple functions. They can connect with the operator's nerves through special nerves in their bodies, thereby simulating the same state of the operator's body."

Soyog once again took on the role of commentator, explaining to Bai Ye the function of this war behemoth.

"Because of the neural connection and identical appearance, the elves who operate the war behemoths do not need an adaptation period at all and can immediately control them perfectly, just like controlling their own bodies. Moreover, the role of these war behemoths is not just to provide a larger body and improve mobility on the battlefield, but more importantly, their unique and highly efficient magic-generating organs can provide a continuous and enormous supply of magic power, allowing the operator to hardly worry about magic power consumption during combat and to exert their power at will."

Soyog, as a member of the new generation of elves, wasn't even born during the war to reclaim the Elven Kingdom, and the war behemoths never appeared again after that battle. Logically, she shouldn't even know what war behemoths are, yet she's now explaining the functions of these war weapons in detail.

This illogical situation was subconsciously ignored by the elves because of the effect of Blanche's soul seed deep within their souls. Even Soyog himself didn't think there was anything wrong with the sudden appearance of a bunch of information in his mind.

Since the person involved didn't say anything, Bai Ye, who knew nothing about the history of the Elf Kingdom, naturally didn't find anything unreasonable about it.

Therefore, Bai Ye only mentally complained about this single-soldier war behemoth, which looked like a bio-engineered version of a mecha, and secretly looked forward to Gu Luo's surprised expression when he saw these things.

Soon, the Elven race's war preparations were completed at an astonishing speed. Clearly, neither Blanche nor Yuan Yuan had any intention of continuing to observe Bai Ye; they only wanted to wait for the magical runes within him to mature so they could reap the rewards.

Having made war preparations and with the army ready to be mobilized at any time, Blanche sent Bai Ye back to the Monster's Nest, instructing him to wait quietly for the arrival of the elven army.

Completely unaware that he had been abandoned, Bai Ye naturally did not object to Blanche, who was even more powerful than Yuan Yuan in his eyes. He was also too lazy to retrieve the soul from the Elf Kingdom, so he simply canceled his control over him and had Soyog destroy it.

The elves didn't keep Bai Ye waiting long. In just one day, the war behemoths exuding terrifying power descended upon the forest where the monster's lair was located. Without making any declarations of war, they directly began a sweeping attack on the monster's lair from high above.

Even before the elves reached the monster's lair, Guluo and Zhu Bi had already spotted these menacing intruders and prepared for battle. Once the elves landed, the monsters would give them a taste of pain and show them the might of their race.

However, to their surprise, these elves did not play by the rules and did not come down to fight them in close combat. Instead, they launched long-range attacks from high above.

Fortunately, Guluo reacted quickly enough and his preparations were thorough. He parasitized all living things in the forest, except for the monsters, with thorns. The moment the elves attacked, these thorns tore apart their hosts' bodies and rapidly multiplied.

The wildly growing thorns formed a dense net at the top of the forest. The resilient thorns, capable of freely transforming between soul and matter, intercepted most of the attacks. Only a few overly powerful attacks pierced through the thorn net and fell down, but their speed and power were greatly reduced, and they were either avoided or blocked by the monsters below.

After a barrage of attacks, the elves ceased their torrential magic and began to descend slowly. Firstly, while attacking from the air was easy, it also made them vulnerable to sniping by monsters capable of retaliating. Secondly, these elves who participated in the battle were inherently combat-hungry; killing their enemies with their own hands was far more satisfying than blasting them to death with magic from afar.

Most of the monsters, who were not good at aerial combat, were eager for these elves to land and naturally did not stop them from landing.

Soon, the war beasts controlled by the elves clashed with various monsters, some enormous and others with bizarre abilities, in the forest.

The deafening roar of massive objects slamming into the ground, the explosive sounds of clashing magic, the dying cries of monsters, and the furious roars of elves unleashing their power—all these sounds echoed above the forest.

Hearing these sounds, Bai Ye understood that the elves had finally arrived, so he stopped hiding and rushed out of the small cave towards the battlefield.

Chapter 135 Contempt

The small cave where Bai Ye was located was not far from the battlefield, so he arrived at the scene quickly.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, Bai Ye was completely stunned. Before him stood enormous elves, moving with elegant steps, wielding lightning spears, frost greatswords, and flaming whips, battling ferocious and terrifying monsters that spewed all sorts of bizarre magic.

Blood splattered, splashing onto the elves' expressionless, handsome faces, adding to their eerie aura.

Looking at this battlefield, Bai Ye felt as if he were witnessing an epic battlefield from legends, where gods descended upon the filthy earth to fight against endless demons.

It wasn't until a stray fireball hit him that Bai Ye realized where he was. He quickly composed himself and rushed towards the center of the battlefield.

There, the strongest of the monsters and the most elite warriors of the elves are battling.

The elves may all be strong, but Guluo and his companions are even stronger. Without the aid of the war behemoths, Guluo alone would be enough to overwhelm dozens of elven warriors. However, once the elven warriors control the war behemoths, they only need two single-target war behemoths and one group war behemoth to steadily suppress Guluo.

Faced with the siege of these giant elves, even if Guro could transform into thorns, even if he could use thorns to take his own life, even if he could teleport between the various thorn clones, even if he had a thousand tricks up his sleeve, he was still suppressed to the point of suffering and had no ability to help his kin.

Like Guro, Zhu Bi, Bai Lu, and some powerful demons were also in the same predicament. They roared and howled incessantly, trying to break through the blockade of these giant elves to help their weaker people who were being slaughtered. However, they were always suppressed at the last moment before they could break through, wasting a lot of energy in vain.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye's lips curled into a wide grin, his eyes filled with excitement. He knew that once all these high-level demons were dead, no one would be able to control him or restrict his freedom anymore.

Bai Ye was excited, but Blanche and Yuan Yuan, the true instigators of this war, were not so happy at this moment.

"Bai Ye has already betrayed his race and witnessed firsthand the suffering his race endured because of his betrayal. Why is it that the [Rebellion] rune still can't take shape? It's always just a little bit short!"

Blanche's voice was tinged with irritation, and her eyes held a hint of anger and impatience as she looked at Bai Ye.

Yuan Yuan was in a bad mood as well. This was his first experiment to verify that magic runes could be artificially cultivated, and its importance was self-evident. However, he was just one step away from success, but he was stuck again. How could he be in a good mood?

Fortunately, Yuan Yuan's mental fortitude was much better than Blanche's; although he was in a bad mood, it did not affect his rational judgment.

Seeing that Bai Ye wasn't joining the battle but instead standing outside the fray watching Gu Luo fight with a cold smile, he thought for a moment and then said...

"The meaning of Baiye's rune is [rebellion]. For this rune to mature, it may not only need to betray others, but also to be betrayed by others."

In a short moment, Yuan Yuan thought of a possibility.

Upon hearing this conjecture, Blanche's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to control the elves through the Soul Seed, influencing their thoughts and memories.

The elves under Blanche's command are less an independent, intelligent race and more a pseudo-race composed of Blanche's alter egos. Although each individual is conceived through normal physiological processes, their souls have no freedom whatsoever, like a canvas to be painted with Blanche's favorite colors.

Therefore, when Blanche made the change, even if it was abrupt and illogical, such as suddenly having a new memory or a guest of honor instantly becoming an enemy, the elves did not find it strange at all.

A green light flashed in the eyes of a war behemoth that was locked in battle with Zhu Bi. Suddenly, more than a dozen thick and hard plant branches sprouted from beneath Bai Ye's feet and lashed out at him.

When these branches first appeared, Bai Ye thought that Gu Luo was distracted and controlling the thorns to attack him, but he immediately realized that these branches did not have the thorns' signature short thorns, and he immediately understood that someone else was attacking him.

However, before Bai Ye could figure out how to find the person who ambushed him, the giant elf that had attacked him earlier struck again.

The giant elf stretched out his right hand at his side, and a bright green branch suddenly appeared in his hand. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the branch at Bai Ye.

The tiny twig, propelled by the giant spirit's incredible strength, emitted a terrifying tearing sound as it pierced through the point where Bai Ye's leg met his body. Then, a gray, decaying gas emanated from the wound, like a terrifying acid, completely corroding the leg away from Bai Ye's body.

Bai Ye has eight legs, so losing one is nothing to him. He cares more about why the elves attacked him than about losing a single leg.

While carefully guarding against the possibility of a third attack at any moment, Bai Ye shouted loudly,

"Wait, you've attacked friendly forces! I am Bai Ye, an elven friend personally acknowledged by the Elf Queen! Stop attacking me."

The response he received was a roaring fire dragon. The one who attacked was not the giant elf from before, but a giant elf with fiery red scales on both hands.
