Chapter 1448: Elf King’s Request (1)
Shen Yanxiao nodded, but her expression when she looked at the Elf King was not friendly.
“Since you know that my father has been rescued, why are you still using his safety to threaten my mother? Elf King, this does not conform to the style of an elf.” Shen Yanxiao looked at the Elf King with a sneer on her lips. If not for the fact that Wen Ya believed Shen Yu was in the hands of the Elf King, how could she have stayed in the Moon G.o.d Continent for more than a decade?
The Elf King said, “I deliberately deceived Xiaoya.”
“Then tell me, how should we settle this debt?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the Elf King with ill intentions.
“It doesn’t matter how you calculate it. I only have one question for you.” The Elf King suddenly said.
“Speak.”
“Is Taotie your contracted beast?” The Elf King looked at Shen Yanxiao and asked.
“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao did not disguise this.
“Then can I ask you for a favor? No! A favor for the elves! As long as you promise me, my life will be yours after the matter is done. You can do whatever you want with me.” The Elf King’s expression suddenly turned solemn.
Shen Yanxiao said, “You want Taotie to help the Tree of Life dispel the pollution?”
The Elf King was stunned.
“You know?”
Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips. How could she not know?
Because of this pollution, she was almost chased to death by the Qingyuan Tribe.
“I know a little, but I’m curious. What’s wrong with the Tree of Life? Why is there pollution?” Shen Yanxiao did not want to care about this black-bellied Elf King. However, there were still groups of elves that she cared about in the Moon G.o.d Continent, mainly the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe and the Moonlight Tribe. Shen Yanxiao did not want any of them to be contaminated.
“What pollution are you talking about?” Wen Ya did not know about the pollution.
The Elf King forced a smile and said, “Pollution is a natural disaster for the elves. In fact, not long after the war between G.o.ds and devils ended, the Tree of Life suffered from a severe problem. The Tree of Life was sick, and it was constantly withering every day. The disease that was spreading in all directions, the so-called pollution.”
“Not long after the war between G.o.ds and devils? Didn’t the Tree of Life only fall sick in the recent years?” Shen Yanxiao was surprised.
The Elf King shook his head. “The Tree of Life has been sick for a long time, but it was not this serious in the past. At that time, the previous Elf King had already noticed the changes in the Tree of Life. He tried all means to control the spread of pollution, but to no avail. Not only would pollution bring unbearable negative emotions to elves, but it would also damage their fertility.”
“Right now, the number of elves is constantly decreasing, and many tribes were completely wiped out due to the lack of newborns. As Elf Kings, we cannot sit back and do nothing. Therefore, the first Elf King thought of a method to use his source of life to absorb the pollution in the Tree of Life to purify it.”
“What?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the Elf King in disbelief.
Using one’s source of life to cleanse the pollution?
This was simply courting death!
Even if the Elf King was stronger than the other elves, the Tree of Life could not withstand the pollution, let alone elves.
The Elf King rolled up his sleeves, and his fair arm was suddenly covered with black lines. These black marks had penetrated deep into his bones and had eroded his body. It could be a.s.sumed that other than his exposed skin, the rest of his body had also been contaminated
