Chapter 968: Psychedelic Forest Trap
In the main hall, the hobbits and the elves also cheered. The treatment that Chen Rui activated just now was incredible. The seriously wounded and dying were all pulled back from the death line. Although they still needed quite some time to be healed completely, at least it was not life-threatening.
The biggest hero, Chen Rui, was not in the hall at the moment. Instead, he followed Finoia outside the hall and met 4 people.
These 4 were super powerhouses: 3 were elves, and 1 was a hobbit.
The strongest was a female elf with silver hair and eyes. Her strength was SSS, which was the intermediate stage of the Demi-G.o.d. The other 2 elves were a peak stage of the Kingdom level, an early stage of the Kingdom level, while the hobbit was a peak stage of the Kingdom level.
“Did you activate the [Divine Healing] of the Crown of Thorns just now?” The female elf asked the keypoint in the first sentence, but her tone was a bit arrogant, which was also a common problem of most elves. Furthermore, the strength that Chen Rui was showing now was not even a Master level, so it was inevitable that he would be looked down upon.
“Yes.” Chen Rui bowed slightly without showing any special respectful expression.
Finoia hurriedly said, “Madam Kilanya, this is Third Prince Arthur of the Dragon Bright Empire. His alchemy is the best in the world; even I’m inferior to him. His Highness Arthur came all the way from the Thick Soil Castle on the mountain hobbit. He hid his ident.i.ty in order to escape the a.s.sa.s.sin’s pursuit. He is now called Chen Rui, please keep it a secret, sirs.”
As soon as these words came out, the 4 super powerhouses all showed surprised expressions. Their eyes that looked at this ‘weakling’ were very different. No matter what world they were in, people with strength and ability could always be valued.
Finoia’s revelation of Chen Rui’s ident.i.ty had been agreed in advance, so Chen Rui’s face transformed for a while with Zola’s ‘help’, temporarily reverting to the appearance of ‘Arthur’ before he stated his intentions again.
Kilanya wanted to ask something else, but her eyes were set on Zola behind Chen Rui, and she suddenly frowned.
“It turns out that Your Highness was commissioned by the king of the mountain hobbit and came to warn us. This time, thanks to the treatment of Your Highness, many people were rescued. On behalf of the forest hobbit, I, Lutoche, would like to express my sincere thanks to Your Highness. You’re a true friend of all the hobbits!” With that said, the hobbit Lutoche of the peak stage of the Kingdom level performed a deep bow.
Chen Rui hurriedly returned the bow, “It’s just a coincidence. It’s a relief that the elf tribe has actually detected the fallen power and made a move in time, otherwise the forest hobbits may suffer unimaginable losses.”
Lutoche sighed, “Yeah, no one could have imagined that Ruhem and Toern actually became slaves of evil power, controlled the Hobbit King Ebeck, and secretly built the evil altar, causing the forest hobbit to almost suffer extinction. Although destroying the evil altar, the hobbits paid dearly, and my best friend Agut died in this battle.”
“How come the Crown of Thorns is in your hands?” The elf Kelsa of the peak stage of the Kingdom level, “Are you from the Holy Church?”
“I’m not a member of the church, I just happened to get the Crown of Thorns.” Chen Rui shook his head and changed the subject, “By the way, the [Divine Blessing] power of the Crown of Thorns can dispel evil breath to a certain extent. It can help those controlled with mild symptoms from the evil erosion. I wonder if those fallen hobbits…”
“That’s great! They’re still in the prison now. We’re quite troubled by this!” Lutoche suddenly refreshed as he pulled Chen Rui and hurriedly rushed to the prison. Zola, who had been silent, followed behind.
“The hobbits are all hotheads.” Elf Plott of the early stage of the Kingdom level shook his head, “Madam Kilanya hasn’t finished asking yet.”
“It’s about the life and death of the tribe, so it’s understandable.” Kelsa looked at Zola’s back, “That woman… has the breath of dragons, and she doesn’t seem to be weak.”
“Dragons?” Plott was taken aback, “The guardian of the human grand master?”
“Fairy Dragon.” Kilanya snorted as her silver pupils shone brightly.
“Sirs and madams.” Finoia hesitated for a moment before he spoke up, “That fairy dragon is the daughter of Elf King Span.”
As soon as these words came out, the 3 elf powerhouses were shocked, and they all showed their shocked expressions. There was a strange sharpness in Kilanya’s eyes, and Finoia could only smile bitterly in his mind.
With the experience of the Thick Soil Castle, Chen Rui quickly used [Divine Blessing] to rescue a considerable part of the hobbit that was not deeply eroded while the rest could only continue to be imprisoned.
Even so, Lutoche and the forest hobbit were overjoyed, and Chen Rui naturally became the savior of the Stone Fist Village. Bernd was especially excited, but unfortunately, now that his life was out of danger, Chen Rui kept the bottle of ‘white wine’ that made all the hobbits salivate, saying that he couldn’t drink wine during the recovery period, which made the old hobbit feel unbearable. Ebeck, the king of the forest hobbit who tasted white wine, was also longing for it.
After getting Chen Rui’s big promise about white wine, Bernd let Chen Rui leave with the elves.
With the help of the elf tribe, the crisis of the forest hobbits was solved more easily than Chen Rui imagined. Chen Rui learned from the hobbits about the story of the incident. The 2 cave hobbit super powerhouses came to the Stone Fist Village to tell the bad news of the collapse of the Golden Bright Underground Palace, saying that now the cave hobbit could barely make a living outside the Red Rock Mountain Range, so they wanted to seek the forest hobbit’s help.
Although the hobbit split into 3 factions many years ago, they were still in the same line after all. The Forest Hobbit King Ebeck and the forest hobbit’s super-level guardian decided to take in the cave hobbit after negotiation, so they dug the cave according to the request of the other party and prepared to welcome the arrival of the cave hobbits. Who knew that this was the beginning of disaster. The 2 fallen ones who had been planning for a long time, secretly controlled the Hobbit King Lutoche, and led the forest hobbit into the Abyss of ‘fear’ step by step.
If it wasn’t for the rescue of the elf tribe, the entire forest hobbit would have followed in the footsteps of the cave hobbit.
Chen Rui did not stay at the Stone Fist Village because he was invited by Finoia to return to the Silver Moon Celestial Capital. The last time Finoia was at the Golden Estate, he mysteriously said that he had a gift. In fact, he had already given it at that time, but it could only be redeemed at the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, and that was the green leaf map.
This green leaf map was not simple. In addition to being able to act as a map to find the Silver Moon Celestial Capital in the Jade Forest Sea, it also had a special function, that was, it could be used as a token to meet the legendary prophet of the elf tribe, Alucier.
Alucier’s name was not well-known in this world, and many people didn’t know what the name represented. However, among veteran trainers and bloodline race with heritage memories, this name was astounding. The name had appeared in the key plots of many legends, and some stories even go back to ancient times. He was a ‘legendary prophet’ who lived up to his name.
Even Zola’s father, Span, mentioned this legend of the elf tribe in front of Chen Rui. Span once received some advice from Alucier, and called him ‘teacher’. Alucier was also the ‘teacher’ who was most respected by all super powerhouses of the elf tribe.
Similarly, Alucier was also 1 of the few Elf Kings in the history of the elf tribe. Compared with him, the Chen Rui’s Old Father-in-law Elf King who had lived for tens of thousands of years could only be regarded as a junior.
The green leaf map enabled him to meet Alucier and get a gift, which might be a treasure or a vision for the future. In short, it must be a great benefit.
Chen Rui could guess that the reason why Finoia gave him the green leaf map instead of accepting the gift of the legendary prophet himself might be due to some special restrictions and conditions, but since the elf grand master didn’t say it, he didn’t ask more, because Chen Rui believed that Finoia would never harm friends.
Since the elf tribe and the forest hobbit were allies, the Silver Moon Celestial Capital had a special teleportation array outside the Stone Fist Village, so it didn’t take much time to get back to the Celestial Capital.
Chen Rui and Zola went directly to Finoia’s Purple Heart Treehouse to rest instead of the post house. His current ident.i.ty as a prince was still kept secret. It was the most convenient and comfortable to go to Finoia’s place.
After a night of rest at Purple Heart Treehouse, in the early morning, Chen Rui brought Zola along to the Psychedelic Forest where the legendary prophet was located.
The Psychedelic Forest was located to the west of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital. It was an ancient forest with treants.
Chen Rui learned from Finoia that the treants outside the Stone Fist Village were just sent by the legendary prophet from the Psychedelic Forest to defend the fallen ones from escaping, but because the treants were traveling too slowly, even with the teleportation array, those treants from the Stone Fist Village had not yet returned to the Psychedelic Forest.
When approaching the Psychedelic Forest, the green leaf map had automatically turned into a leaf-shaped badge, which was similar to the Holy Leaf Heraldry that Chen Rui once saw, but it was more crystal clear, like emeralds.
Relying on the power of this badge, Chen Rui and Zola were not blocked in any way. They entered the Psychedelic Forest along a small stone slab path that appeared under their feet. Soon after, they came to the entrance of a ring-shaped forest, and they could vaguely see a house at the center.
It was not the common tree house of the elf tribe, but an ordinary thatched hut.
At the entrance of the woods, there was a somewhat unexpected ‘acquaintance’, the elf tribe Demi-G.o.d powerhouse Kilanya whom they met in the Stone Fist Village.
Kilanya looked at the 2 who were walking hand in hand, and she said lightly, “You guys are here to see the teacher? Where’s the token?”
This sentence sounded unnecessary. Chen Rui raised the leaf-shaped badge in his hand, and Kilanya nodded before her eyes were set on Zola, “You can go in, but this woman must leave the Psychedelic Forest. No! Leave the Silver Moon Celestial Capital! Dragons are not welcome here, especially nasty fairy dragons!”
Chen Rui noticed the unkindness in Kilanya’s eyes and frowned. I even rescued the seriously wounded elf tribe yesterday, and Zola did nothing to offend this elf beauty powerhouse. Why did she have such strong hostility?
Leave? Chen Rui glanced at the dumbfounded Ms. Fairy Dragon. He smiled slightly and put the badge onto the ground.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll give this thing back to you. Zola, let’s go.”
Kilanya was startled. Finoia should have already said the benefits of seeing the legendary prophet. I didn’t expect this weak human to actually just turn around and leave.
The fierceness in the female elf’s eyes burst out, and her voice sounded horrendous, “I took great efforts to lead you here. How can you leave without letting me give you a good reception?”
In the deep laughter, Kilanya’s body burst into flames. The dense forest quickly burned and scorched, and a torrent of lava-like torrents quickly appeared nearby. The entire landscape became a volcano-like existence, and the air was suffocating and hot.
