Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 340: Chapter 337 Dark Elf Underground World (Extra for the Night Rain Pours and the Wind Cuts Like a Knife)

The Elf Forest was truly unique. Although the expanse of the forest was no less vast than the Demon Beast Forest, every blade of grass and tree exuded a sense of beauty, making one feel refreshed in body and spirit while walking through it, causing Qin Feng to marvel in amazement.

Perhaps it was because the Elf Clan had lived in this forest for tens of thousands of years that they had gradually transformed this colossal forest into what it was.

There weren’t many ferocious demon beasts in the forest, which was entirely different from the Demon Beast Forest.

However, this didn’t mean that there were no powerful demon beasts here, nor did it mean that this place was safer than the Demon Beast Forest.

In fact, demon beasts were not uncommon in the Elf Forest, but relatively speaking, they seemed more like they were being raised by the elves.

And the safety here was relative to the Elf Clan. For any intruder with malicious intent, this place was not so friendly.

…

As Qin Feng journeyed along, he encountered countless magic alarms and traps.

If he had not had a powerful and keen Divine Sense and had not understood the patterns of movement within the Elf Forest, he would have likely triggered countless magic traps by now.

What troubled him more, there were quite a few sentient Tree Demons in the forest.

These Tree Demons usually stood still, indistinguishable from ordinary Magic Trees.

The Magic Trees contained some Elemental Power, but not as strong as the Tree Demons.

The Tree Demons, unmoving, took root in the forest, especially when other Magic Trees were nearby. It was difficult for Qin Feng to notice their presence without getting close, but as he approached, it also became easy for the Tree Demons to detect him.

And to his dismay, these Tree Demons were all watchmen for the Elf Clan. As soon as they noticed the figure of an outsider, they would trigger a magic alarm to attract the Elf Clan to investigate.

Because of this, Qin Feng suffered several setbacks, and on two occasions, when he got too close, he was even attacked by Tree Demons.

It was only because the Tree Demons were slow to act, and Qin Feng had extraordinary means, that he was able to easily escape their entanglement whether he used Earth Escape Divine Power or Shadow Transformation Divine Power, thus avoiding detection by the Elf Rangers.

After evading the entanglement of another Tree Demon, Qin Feng finally understood that the entire Elf Forest had been transformed by the Elf Clan into an environment suitable only for themselves. Those Tree Demons were likely relocated by them and settled within the forest.

He also discovered that there were numerous Elf Tribes throughout the forest; almost every few dozen miles, there would be a tribe of the Elf Clan, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of elves each.

With this realization, Qin Feng was truly alarmed.

If one were to calculate based on this scale, the number of the Elf Clan living in the forest far exceeded the outside world’s speculation.

Originally, when outside in the world, many powers guessed that the Elf Clan might be somewhat stronger than Druidism in the Demon Beast Forest, but not by much.

But now, he feared that even five or six Druid jurisdictions combined might not match the Elf Clan.

Druidism had only several hundred tribes on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest, but the Elf Settlements in the Elf Forest definitely exceeded Druidism by more than tenfold.

Qin Feng silently praised in his heart; this was the foundation that a powerful and ancient race should have.

Moreover, he noticed that the Tree Demons were even more numerous closer to the Elf Tribes.

With this knowledge, Qin Feng directly avoided these Elf Tribes to minimize the chances of being discovered.

Indeed, by keeping well away from the Elf Tribes, he encountered fewer Tree Demons.

However, he began to encounter other demon beasts more often instead.

And the deeper he ventured into the forest, the more powerful the demon beasts he encountered became.

Although many of them had relatively placid dispositions, such as the Six-Horned Demon Bull and the Five-Colored Deer, what surprised him was that these demon beasts didn’t take a liking to him either. Many, upon seeing him, didn’t flee but engaged him in combat, making quite a commotion.

Even more astonishingly, he came across a herd of Unicorns.

What sent Qin Feng reeling was that among that group of rank-nine demon beast Unicorns, there were several beautiful Elf Girls frolicking.

“Since when have rank-nine demon beasts become so docile?”

Qin Feng heaved a sigh.

Although he knew the Holy Beast of the Elf Clan was the Unicorn, a Unicorn was still a rank-nine demon beast, and he thought it should at least have some majesty befitting its rank.

Now, however, a herd of Unicorns was playing with a few ordinary-strength Elf Girls, showing none of the ferocity expected of superior demon beasts. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Having no choice, he continued to conceal his presence and used Shadow Transformation Divine Power to stealthily move away whenever he encountered a demon beast.

He dared not fly through the sky; not only would that increase the chances of encountering demon beasts, but it could also potentially reveal his whereabouts to those of considerable power.

On the sixth day, Qin Feng no longer knew how far he had traveled into the Elf Forest.

With all the sneaking and detours, although the general direction of his progress remained unchanged, he had been inadvertently delayed.

Just as Qin Feng carefully avoided a troop of Wind Element Demon Monkeys and circumvented a wild fruit grove planning to continue on his way, he suddenly heard the sounds of combat coming from afar.

This took Qin Feng by surprise.

He could understand encountering battles on the outskirts of the Elf Forest, but deep within the Elf Forest, who would dare to offend the Elf Clan’s dignity?

Could it be that the Light Church had dispatched experts to penetrate deep into the Elf Forest, seeking to steal some treasure?

With such doubts, Qin Feng merged his form into the shadows and quietly made his way closer to inspect the situation.

“Bang bang bang.”

The intense fluctuation of magic, with various kinds of magic spells erupting continuously.

At the same time, a series of “whoosh whoosh” sounds of bowstrings being released could be heard.

Those were the Elf Rangers of the Elf Clan, skilled in archery, shooting arrow after arrow.

Their opponents, on the other hand, were a group with dark skin, dressed in black leather armor, and in appearance, they looked very similar to the elves.

“Eh, could those be the Dark Elves? Haven’t they been said to have been lured by the Evil God, lost their nature, and fallen into darkness? How come they appear deep within the Elf Forest?

Could it be, there’s a passage nearby that allows Dark Elves to come out?”

Qin Feng looked on in surprise at the two sides locked in fierce combat.

In terms of numbers, the Elf Clan had the advantage and their strength was also slightly greater.

However, when it came to combat experience and ruthlessness against the enemy, they were no match for the Dark Elves.

“Thorns, vines, binding, binding!”

With a light shout from a handsome middle-aged elf, a massive surge of magic power erupted, causing countless thorns and vines to spring from the ground, spreading towards the Dark Elves in an attempt to trap them.

“Mist, corrosion, dark arrows!”

On the Dark Elf side, a powerful Dark Mage waved his magic wand, casting a series of dark magic spells in an attempt to corrode the thorns and vines, cloak the vision of the Elf Clan with mist, and then harm them with dark arrows.

These two, remarkably, were both of the rank of Great Magic Guide Master.

Regrettably, when it came to the use of magic, the completely fallen Dark Elves fell somewhat short of the Elf Clan and this wasn’t their home ground either.

So the handsome middle-aged mage shouted, “Wind, disperse the mist, raise the magic shield, beware of dark arrow attacks, archers, all of you aim at the Dark Mage, and shoot him dead for me.”

Instantly, dozens of Elf Archers aimed their arrows all at the Dark Mage.

This caused a huge change in the Dark Elf magician’s expression. As a fallen elf, he knew all too well the power of the Elf Archers.

But his face was too dark, and ordinary people could not discern the changes in his expression.

“Breakout with full force, scatter and flee, concealed assassination!”

Clearly admitting defeat, he shouted, “This place is making too much noise, it’ll soon attract more of the Elf Clan here, find your ways to escape, or else when their reinforcements arrive, none of us will be able to leave.”

In an instant, dozens of Dark Elves around the Dark Mage scattered in all directions, each seeking out an opponent to engage in combat with.

These Dark Elves were devious in their movements and extraordinarily dangerous when they attacked, wielding two non-reflective pitch-black short swords, and started to clash with the Elf Rangers of the Elf Clan.

They were proficient in invisibility, concealment, transformation, and raiding; in battle, they could even take on the appearance of other elves to confuse their enemies and launch sudden invisible raids.

Although it was difficult for them to use these spells without leaving any traces, it couldn’t be denied that the effects were indeed good. Ordinary Elf Rangers truly got flustered by their deceptive and ever-changing tactics, some even suffered injuries and fatalities.

“Damn it, stop them.”

The handsome middle-aged elf shouted loudly, “Don’t let them escape or else these traitors will not know how many more elves they will slay in the future. If they set up altars on the surface, they might even summon more Dark Elves. We must eradicate them, don’t let a single one leave.”

“Yes, Elder.”

Upon hearing this, all the elves present disregarded the deaths and injuries of their companions and burst into even fiercer combat.

With the assistance of numerous archers and mages, the middle-aged elf eventually defeated his opponent, killing the Dark Elf mage.

With the most powerful Dark Mage dead, the rest of the Dark Elves lost their backbone and, lacking someone to counterbalance the Elf Mages, it wasn’t long before all the Dark Elves were exterminated.

Under the watch of the Elf Elder, there was no chance for them to escape by turning invisible.

Even those who managed to use invisibility to avoid other Elf Rangers were marked by the Elf Elder with magic, making a green light hover above them, preventing them from hiding.

“Quick, clean up the bodies, we need to get back,” shouted the middle-aged Elf Elder. “I don’t know what’s happened to the seal on the passage to the Underground World, but it has developed a fault, and these damned traitors suddenly burst through.

I’ve already used magic to send a message, alerting the other Elders to come to reinforce. Let’s hurry back and help defend the passage; we can’t let any more Dark Elves break through.”

A group of elves quickly cleared the battlefield and left.

Qin Feng emerged from the shadows under the trees and watched the departing elves with a stir in his heart.

“The Underground World? Could it be connected to the Earth Core?”

He became somewhat excited. If it truly connected to the Earth Core, then he might soon find a suitable place to set up a Positioning Array.

Is there an easier place to find a world node than deep within the Earth Core?

Thinking this, Qin Feng did not hesitate any longer. He lowered his form and instantly merged back into the shadows of the trees, swiftly following in the footsteps of the elves.

It wasn’t long before he followed the elves to a valley.

The valley was quite unique because it contained only one large tree.

This tree seemed ancient, its age unknown, yet it remained vibrant with green leaves.

Elf huts were scattered on the tree trunk, with numerous Elf Clan members coming in and out, clearly living in those tree houses.
