It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

"You're quite something. I was a bit disappointed when I found out you were an elf. After all, I've never heard of an elf being able to fight in close combat. I didn't expect you to be quite good at it."

Bai Lin frowned slightly. She was not an elf, so of course she was not moved by this. She was just wondering why the other party would stop and say such a thing at this time. However, it was really hard to infer anything from just this sentence. It was a rare opportunity to talk, so she had to seize the opportunity.

"Who are you and why are you attacking me? I don't think I've offended anyone, and I've never met anyone dressed like you."

"Ask me my name? I can tell you!"

When this was mentioned, Araniah on the opposite side seemed to be extremely excited. The corners of her mouth curled up a little bit, and she proudly puffed out her flat chest, pounded her shoulders, and said with her head held high,

"My name is Araniah. I'm from the City of Platinum and a close confidant of the King of Perfection. Although this may be the first time we meet, I'm sure you've heard of me, right?!"

Looking at the other person's unruly eyes and listening to the confident tone, Bai Lin really wanted to interrupt her performance by saying "I really haven't heard of it". However, this would be too much of an insult to her. After all, she could beat him, so he should talk some sense. So, Bai Lin remained unmoved and continued,

"Well, you are indeed a good fighter, just as the rumors say."

"Isn't that so? It seems you know your stuff. However, now that I've revealed my identity, you should know who you've offended, right? The little wolf cub in your arms was one of the things our king specifically requested."

Bai Lin praised this lolita, whose name Bai Lin had never heard of, and seemed particularly happy. She quickly said a few more words. Bai Lin followed her words and looked at Miyuki in his arms. A brainstorming session went through his mind.

Holy crap! How could beating up a bunch of hooligans provoke such a powerful figure? Who knew saving a little wolf girl would cause so much trouble? You guys are so awesome, could you please keep a closer eye on the people you want next time? I'm too lazy to offend you anymore.

Of course, Bai Lin would not save Miyu just because he was afraid of offending others. It was just that the shock and contrast were too great for a moment, and he complained in his mind. Although his mind was full of illogical thoughts, Bai Lin calmly recovered and thought carefully for a while, then asked Miyu,

"Yayu, how did your Aunt He escape last time? Do these guys have any weaknesses?"

Chapter 611 Humph, want to escape?

At that time, He was injured, but he was still able to defeat these people. Although his overall strength might not be as good as He's, it shouldn't be much worse. Not to mention that he has more fancy props recently, so he should be able to fight with them.

Miyu blinked her eyes in panic, then said to Bai Lin,

"No, the gang that came to capture me last time wasn't that powerful. Even though Sister He was injured, it wasn't that difficult to defeat her!"

Bai Lin was speechless at this point. He meant that they had sent a stronger group of people back last time after He had beaten them back. He only heard Araniah on the opposite side laugh a few times, and then said,

"Weakness? We perfect people definitely don't have any weaknesses, right?! I can only say that if you were willing to hand over this little thing last time I came, maybe I could have spared your life. But, after all, I'm here this time, and you're so delicious, so let's-"

"I'm going to play till I die."

Perhaps because the other person was laughing so wildly when he spoke, Bai Lin didn't feel a chill down her spine when he said this. But she probably understood what kind of person he was. That's right, he was definitely the kind of person who loved to fight. In that case—

Bai Lin sighed, sorted out her thoughts, and disassembled her helmet and took off her hood, revealing her peerless beauty. This made Alaniya, who was standing opposite her, sigh slightly, but Alaniya was obviously not the type to be seduced. Therefore, the focus of this move was naturally on Bai Lin revealing her expression. She said to Alaniya,

"My name is Lin. I've always admired skilled fighters, but I've never encountered a warrior as strong as you. Since we're meeting today, it must be a destined arrangement. Why don't we put aside our so-called disputes and have a fair, one-on-one fight between you and me?"

Bai Lin's words were spoken calmly, yet they also sounded serious. His sincere eyes and serious expression almost convinced him. Adding to his good looks, his words were truly convincing.

Of course, she certainly didn't want a fair duel; she had simply guessed from his actions and words that he was a belligerent type, which was why she resorted to this desperate measure. If she could let go of Miyu and use her hands, Bai Lin still had some confidence she could win. Taking on ten of them single-handedly was too much for her.

Facing such a serious Bai Lin, even those who don't like duels are less likely to refuse. Standing opposite, Araniya was also slightly stunned, then patted her belly and laughed.

"What are you talking about, Miss Elf? Are you mistaken? All I want is pure violence, and the overwhelming slaughter achieved through violence."

"My interest lies in trampling a determined and capable person like you underfoot like an ant and crushing him to death. Not only are you quite powerful, but you're also so beautiful. What will it be like when you die? I'm already getting excited—"

The furious, perverted words uttered by Araniah's lips, bent at a 45-degree angle, completely shattered Bai Lin's previous assumptions. Her eyes shone with a bloodthirsty rage. Her small frame lacked any rationality, nor even a trace of kindness. She simply wanted to chop Bai Lin into pieces.

The elven female knight in black armor fell silent, her expression devoid of any trace of thought. The next second, she vanished from the spot. As if having anticipated this, Araniah raised her axe, pointed it forward, and shouted,

"Want to escape?! Kill her!"

"Yes."

It was that simple. Under a relentless barrage of attacks, Bai Lin struggled back and forth with a dozen men in the forest. With an extremely awkward expression, she punched through the platinum wall and continued to flee. As she ran, she used her extremely combat-savvy brain to think about how to eliminate these people, but from her expression, which was more uncomfortable than she'd eaten, it was clear... this was a very unrealistic thing.

Holy crap, who the hell are these people? Why would someone so perverted bring such good equipment and a large group of people just to chase after a little wolf cub in his arms? If he wants the werewolf girl, can't he think of other ways? Why does he have to go after this one in my arms?

And you, you b*tch, what a psychopath you are. Why would such good supplies be taken away by such a psychopath? If I were to take the feet, I would kill others indiscriminately.

At this moment, Bai Lin really wanted to give the other party a good scolding, but he didn't have the energy to spare. Just running away had already used up all his energy, and he was being chased everywhere. Bai Lin, who was already injured, could not move even a step, and his armor began to become increasingly tattered.

Ten times the platinum mana of ten people poured out, piercing Bai Lin's sides like giant swords, rapidly encircling her movement space. Immediately afterwards, a large number of magic beams attacked her body, forcing her into a moment of extreme panic. And then, it was Araniah and her great axe that struck, like the weight of Mount Tai. The earth-shattering slash was determined to take Bai Lin's life!

Already wounded, Bai Lin gasped as she raised her injured hand, unsteadily holding up the shield. Honestly, her physical condition was already stretched to its limit. The opponent didn't even give her the chance to put Miyu down. Resisting this, she felt powerless, and her injuries were rapidly increasing. After all, she had to protect the wolf girl in her arms while fighting.

Right now, she wasn't even sure if she could actually block the incoming attack, but doing so was the best decision she could come up with rationally. Even if she couldn't block it, she had to raise her shield.

Looking at the giant axe rapidly approaching, Bai Lin took a deep breath, shouted, and lowered his shoulders to charge forward. The sound of iron colliding rang out at the right time, but the result of this collision was still beyond Bai Lin's expectations.

Or perhaps it was beyond the expectations of the two people who were originally fighting each other—

Chapter 612 Our Territory

The surging currents, manically spurting out explosive magical power, flashes of lightning and flames continuously radiated, demonstrating its immense power. Yet, such restless magical power was unexpectedly compressed and controlled onto a slender arm, less than ten centimeters in size.

Her long white hair drifted naturally in the waves of magic, and beneath her dark yellow eyes, which held an indifferent expression, were faint bags under her eyes. The visitor simply extended a hand entwined with teardrops, held it in front of her, and easily resisted Araniah's attack.

She took a moment to gather her strength and thrust forward. A dull bell-like sound rang out, and Araniah, who had raised her axe to attack, was forced to retreat more than ten steps. Then, the newcomer's eyes seemed to flash with a thousand torrents of magic power. They flashed rapidly, and lightning flashed. Above her raised arm, a tree-like explosion exploded, and in an instant, it expanded to dozens of meters, fully revealing the most violent nature of lightning.

And then, with a simple flick of his arm, a burst of lightning erupted, instantly engulfing the forest before him. The lightning, like a raging divine retribution, instantly obscured everyone's vision. The man's other hand, however, continued to move. After a brief chant, it formed a hand shape. Bai Lin instantly felt a surge of warmth flow into his body, and his wounds miraculously healed at a rapid pace.

Soon, the thunder dissipated, and most of the once lush forest had been burned to charcoal. Although the group of people who had originally pursued Bai Lin did not appear to have suffered many injuries, a lot of flying ash still fell on their white armor. Each of them was unable to stand properly and looked extremely miserable.

"Who are you? How dare you touch our people on our elf territory? Are you tired of living?"

After seemingly completing the aforementioned actions with ease, the visitor spoke in a slightly weary, somewhat breathless tone. Although her voice and tone could be described as "kidney deficiency" in a simple word, her actions were so fierce that her words were truly intimidating. It was only then that Bai Lin noticed the visitor's appearance—

Her somewhat dull complexion could not conceal her fresh, natural and beautiful face. At first glance, her cold white skin and downturned mouth gave her a hint of an icy beauty, but her eyes that seemed to be indifferent to the world brought out her strong side. The pointed ears on her cheeks, which symbolized her status, brought out a sense of vitality.

Slightly taller than Bai Lin, her figure might not be described as majestic, but she certainly looked very reliable. A light, thin, pale dress draped casually around her body, simply outlining her enchanting curves. Her figure was truly enchanting.

The contradiction between desire and lack of desire does not show any disharmony on this beautiful body. Instead, it gives people a different experience, just like eating a bite of bitter chocolate with too much added sundae. It tastes a bit bitter at first, but when the sweetness comes out, it makes people want to taste it a few more times, and the aftertaste is endless.

After being beaten violently, Aranija leaned on her giant axe and slowly stood up. She looked at the sudden elf with a slightly difficult look and said,

"We? We are perfect people! Even if you are an elf, today you have to—"

Before he finished speaking, a tiny lavender ball of light slowly and strangely floated to the side of Alaniya and her brothers. In an instant, a wave-like sound was emitted, and a large amount of magic power instantly became chaotic in the air. The figures of Alaniya and her group were instantly distorted, and they disappeared on the spot along with a large piece of forest debris.

"...This is so annoying. I have to listen to this guy introduce himself. I hate communicating with people who can't do anything except threaten. Perfect man? I think I've heard of this somewhere before, but since I can't remember, it must be some insignificant, weak race."

The white-haired elf scratched his head and muttered to himself, as if he was complaining about his dissatisfaction. The purple ball of light just now was obviously made by him.

Bai Lin's current state was beyond description, except for her pupils trembling. It was like watching Kong slaughter Sheng Qili, who was chasing her, in a few moves. Bai Lin had no idea how to deal with the opponent, but they were taken down in an instant.

Fortunately, this kind of person turned out to be his ally. Based on the principle of being proactive and enthusiastic when getting along with others, Bai Lin swallowed his saliva and asked the other party,

"Um... hello? Thank you so much for your help! What's your name?"

The elf who was scratching his head heard Bai Lin's voice, turned around, pointed at his face, tilted his head, and then looked at Bai Lin puzzledly and asked,

"Me? My name is Kanena Gu Blackmagi, just call me Kanena. Just wait over there for a moment, I'll take you away later, the Queen wants to see you."

As she spoke, Kanana danced her hands in front of her, chanting spells in the air. The forest in front of her, just like that, began to regenerate right under Bai Lin's eyes. Bai Lin didn't care about being stunned by this scene. She was more concerned about what the other person said.

"The Queen wants to see me." The Queen of Kanena... must be referring to the Elf Queen, right? Isn't that Christina? When did she come back here?

No, according to Kress, she seemed to have returned to her former territory despite the opposition of her tribe. So it couldn't be her who was in charge here. And as Kress's family, I should be considered close to her and should be treated with preferential treatment.

No, no, that's not right. What if the other "Queen" here wants to initiate a normal transformation? What should I do? This little brother looks so powerful. Although Chris was killed by a thunderbolt, has she ever been this powerful?

The unknown strength and situation immediately made Bai Lin nervous. But no matter how she thought about it, following this person was the best option. After all, Kadenah had said this was elf territory. Even if Bai Lin backstabbed Kadenah and quickly escaped, if another person like him came, she would definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, running away was completely unnecessary and irrational.

Chapter 613: Elf Forest

Judging from the current situation, the elves definitely won't kill me casually, otherwise there would be no need to save them. As long as I carefully judge the situation, nothing should go wrong...

Soon, Kanena used her magic to restore the forest to its original state. This seemingly ordinary forest returned to its fresh and original appearance. Bai Lin looked at her gradually approaching, swallowed nervously, and then asked,

"Um... Miss Kanena, I'd like to ask if you know why the Elf Queen wants to see me?"

Asking a question was Bai Lin's first choice. Although the elf in front of her didn't seem to respect the queen very much, from her words and actions, Bai Lin could sense the queen's status. She must be higher than hers, otherwise she wouldn't have been sent out by the queen to save Bai Lin.

Before you actually encounter the big boss, it is normal to ask the monsters for some experience. As long as you are polite and cautious, even if you don't gain anything, there will be no negative benefits.

Hearing Bai Lin's question, Kanena blinked his sleepy eyes, glanced at Bai Lin, and then answered in an unusually casual manner,

"Who knows what exactly she wants from you. But the Queen is probably looking for someone like you because you, a human, are wandering around pretending to be an elf."

At these words, Bai Lin felt as if struck by thunder, his mind trembling. Yeah, why hadn't he thought of that? They were so powerful, they must have seen through him. Bai Lin's behavior, to put it more seriously, was simply impersonating an elf and deceiving others. If the elves had any traditional ancestral teachings that Bai Lin accidentally violated, he would be in even greater trouble.

This is the only side benefit of killing monsters: panic and fear. When you can't get past the first monster in a dungeon, and hear from her that the boss will be extremely powerful, your mentality will naturally change due to this unknown difficulty.

Calm down, Bai Lin. The worst that can happen is death. You've negotiated life and death before, so what are you afraid of?

Bai Lin rubbed her hands and glanced down at the little Miyu in her arms. Fortunately, the little guy seemed to have fainted from fright and didn't hear the conversation between the two. Without thinking any more, she followed behind Kaneko and walked forward.

Kanana just waved her hand casually, and a twisted light blue ripple that gradually took shape appeared in front of them out of thin air. She casually made a gesture of invitation to Bai Lin, and Bai Lin walked in obediently.

As the wave-like light curtain passed by her, Bai Lin felt as if her body and mind had been baptized by something, and she felt incomparably fresh and clear. When she opened her eyes again and regained her vision, the surrounding scene instantly caught her attention:

The first thing that strikes the eye is the dense mass of shrubs and flowers. As if outlined with an oil paintbrush, they paint the space at the bottom of the jungle with an ethereal, ethereal undertone. They emit a faint blue hue, a blend of stardust and night. They sway quietly and nimbly with the breeze, creating a scene that is chaotic yet not overwhelming, dense yet not overly splendid—the perfect backdrop.

Dense branches, like soft beads of liquid, dangle beneath the dense forest, flickering and fading, vividly depicting the dust of time that has settled within the ancient trees, yet never disturbing the tranquility and peace that lingers here. Continuing upward along these branches, one can glimpse the endless expanse of leaves, and even more so, the scent of old book pages lingering from the forest foliage.

Generally speaking, "towering ancient trees" is just an exaggeration, but in this case, it was completely true. Just by looking at it, Bai Lin could fully believe that the trees in the forest had already touched the blue sky, or rather, blocked it out, creating a new world.

The faint blue light shone across the dome, flowing through the shimmering leaves, dripping onto the branches, and carried throughout the forest by a gentle breeze. Not only the sky and the forest, but even the ground at our feet seemed to flow gently like liquid. This soft yet tangible fertile soil imbued us with peace of mind and comfort.

Surrounded by trees, the space doesn't appear to be very large, yet it feels completely unconfined. Every tree and blade of grass seems to float in the air, within reach. But if you take a few steps elsewhere, you can instantly forget the trees and gaze upon a world beyond.

In Bai Lin's original world, there were countless records of the wonders of the world, from the thousands of years of "like being in a fairyland" to the recent "oh, so beautiful, so beautiful" - all of them praised the scene before their eyes from a higher level, which was beyond the reach of mortals. As for the scene before him, Bai Lin naturally fell into the latter category. Even if he had to describe it in words, he could only say,

“It’s so beautiful.”

Poetry can certainly express one's emotions, but with Bai Lin's literary background, she felt that describing the scenery through poetry was more of an insult to the scene than expressing her emotions. The ethereal and unreal feeling brought about by the real scene was truly intoxicating.

"How's our Elf Forest? It's pretty good, right?"

A long voice sounded from in front of Bai Lin. She followed her gaze and looked forward, only to see a girl in white sitting on a tall, pale white rattan chair, looking at Bai Lin with a smile on her face.

She has the same clear golden eyes as Bai Lin, but they contain more lively feelings. At first glance, she seems to be a young and lively girl, but the elegant and noble charm is something that the old and rotten God Huang Shen can never learn.

Her long golden hair and its tips hung down like branches, just like a tree that was old enough could have longer branches and leaves. Her temperament was enough to make these hair, which was a little too long, become the most perfect foil to her beauty.

Although the elves he had seen so far seemed to be all beauties, the appearance of this beauty did not make Bai Lin feel the slightest bit of aesthetic fatigue. She was natural and fresh, without an overly sharp and flamboyant temperament, but it was precisely this elegance that allowed her to blend into this quiet illusion and transcend the beautiful scenery.

Therefore, Bai Lin could guess the identity of this girl at a glance.

Chapter 614 Before the Queen's Throne

Queen, this is the title that suits her temperament. Her question was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, natural and clear, yet also resounding. Hearing this peaceful question, Bai Lin's mentality also calmed down a little. After thinking for a while, she replied,

"It's truly a breathtaking view. Just now, when we were outside, I was wondering how elves could possibly live in such an ordinary forest. Now it seems my suspicions are confirmed. You may have other abodes, but to have one this fantastical is beyond my wildest dreams."

Her answers were sincere and unassuming, and all her compliments came from the heart. Bai Lin had no intention of exaggerating. The reason was simple: in the presence of the queen, she felt a strange sense of being completely seen through. If she spoke carelessly, her favorability rating would likely decline.

The blonde queen casually placed her hands on her legs, listened to Bai Lin's answer, and continued to speak.

"This Elf Forest is indeed a wonderful place, but you're wrong about one thing. This isn't the elves' home; it's just a temporary bridge. What we have is another vast world, built by us and ruled by us."

The Queen's voice, which could be described as gentle and soft, was like a heavy hammer, once again shaking Bai Lin's heart. She sighed in disbelief,

"Another world?! Do you mean you created a world of your own?"

"Yes, that's right, but it's not as big as this world. After all, there aren't that many elves, and we don't need such a big world to live in."

The Queen of Elves said this. She seemed to have anticipated Bai Lin's shock, and her tone remained calm without changing at all. But Bai Lin's shock didn't stop there.

Earth. Although I don't know the exact name of this world's Earth, generally speaking, planets like Earth have limited living space and resources. Opening up another world means conjuring up these so-called space and resources out of thin air. This could completely minimize global conflict.

Perhaps, this is the advantage of the other world, turning the impossible into the possible and creating miracles in the true sense.

Bai Lin was silent, thought for a while, and finally asked,

"Can we humans go to that world?"

Bai Lin asked a very abrupt question. However, her mind was in a period of unusual calm after the shock, so her question was not gratuitous, but was the result of careful consideration.

This is a shortcut. If humanity could move to another world where conflict is virtually nonexistent, then this supposed salvation would be a complete success. The current world is rife with dangers for humanity. With a comfortable environment and sound policies, problems can be solved exponentially.

But if you were the Elf Queen, would you agree to this?

"Of course not, Holy Son. That space is merely a paradise for the elves. It wasn't created out of selfish motives. It was created simply to avoid conflict and out of a desire for an ideal living environment."

The Queen's expression remained unchanged, but she placed her hands on either side of her body, crossed her legs, and continued to preach.

"It's like building a house of your dreams and moving in. It's just such a dull existence. Although I believe that if you were willing to personally contribute to it, in such a comfortable environment, humanity would quickly settle down. But conflict is inevitable. I don't need to emphasize this point. You've already seen and heard a lot of it."

"Furthermore, migrating the entire human race there would not actually accomplish your goal. Your path is not in this direction, Holy Son."

Although there was no change in the tone, the sense of estrangement and distance suddenly came out from the words, making Bai Lin feel as if the queen in front of her was suddenly elevated above the dome, allowing her to see the gap in status.

Yes, why should we give you humans a place to stay? The elves have everything they need. Taking them in might actually cause them more trouble. Human history is a history of endless struggle, from the earliest primitive tribal conflicts to the current wars over economic issues. Bai Lin knows it all very well.

Bai Lin's expression drooped slightly. She wasn't unhappy with the Elf Queen, but rather with herself. It just so happened that she couldn't use magic. If only, as a brave warrior saving the world, she could learn the magic that created it. Wouldn't that be a relief? Then there wouldn't be so many problems.

Looking at Bai Lin's appearance, the Elf Queen smiled slightly and called her,
