Ai Jiaye sprinted swiftly under the bright and cold moonlight.
Ancient trees that were dozens of meters tall passed by her feet as if they were flat ground. Cliffs and streams were left behind in the blink of an eye.
The damp night wind blew against her face, wetting her leather armor and cheeks, but it couldn't extinguish the anger in her heart.
After hearing the news of the attack on Quillings Hut from a Hippogryphon Archer, Ai Jiaye didn't wait for the arrival of the envoy from the Elf Shrine and set off on her journey alone.
Before she set off, the guards of Tianshui City were still trying to gather.
Since the enemy dared to invade Quillings Hut which was less than 200 kilometers away from Tianshui City, it either meant that they were powerful and weren't afraid of the counterattack of Tianshui City's guards, or it was a conspiracy to divert the guards of Tianshui City.
Therefore, the Elf Commander of Tianshui City and some high elves quarreled in the conference hall over the scale of the troops to be dispatched.
Just like the extravagant nobles in human society, there was also a special class in the Elf Kingdom – the high elves. The so-called high elves were still forest elves, but their bloodline was more ancient and longer.
They were proud of this and believed that only high elves were the purest and noblest forest elves. They refused to marry commoners and tried their best to protect the so-called bloodline from being 'polluted' by the outside world. They had great power and most of the elders and councilors in the Elf Kingdom could only be taken up by high elves.
In Tianshui City, although the Elf Commander had absolute command over the troops, he couldn't completely ignore the protests of the high elves and nobles.
As soon as he received the news of the attack on Quillings Hut, the Elf Commander planned to send all the air forces to support the Quillings Hut and the ground forces to the minimum. Unfortunately, due to the high elves' protests, the types and numbers of troops dispatched were reduced.
Unable to bear the heartless and cold-blooded procrastination, the hot-tempered Ai Jiaye angrily chose to go alone!
There were about five or six powerful elves who made the same decision. They were all 'rogues' who had the strength of grade 2 or 3 and weren't willing to be restrained by the army.
It was a pity that their speed and stamina couldn't compare to Ai Jiaye's sturdy physique. Therefore, they were soon left far behind by the Vengeance Spear.
Walking in the forest under the pure and beautiful moonlight was a kind of heroic and passionate feeling!
If Ai Jiaye wasn't worried about her clansmen, she would have thrown her head back and roared at the sky, looking for a powerful demonic beast to fight.
Ai Jiaye, the Spear of Vengeance, might not be famous among the elves, but among the magical beasts in the Central Mountain Range, she was known as the Madwoman!
Whether it was the powerful Twin-legged Flying Dragon King, the Berserk Giant Ape with boundless strength, or the sly and cunning Silver-tailed Fox, they had all been harassed by her to the point where they wanted to cry but had no tears. As for the other magical beasts, as long as they had a bit of reputation and prestige, she would come to challenge them.
It could be said that Ai Jiaye, the Spear of Vengeance's terrifying combat skills came from thousands of life-and-death challenges. The big and small wounds and scars all over her body were the best proof of her craziness and fighting spirit!
Although the forest elves were the masters of the Sapphire Continent, it was still very dangerous to cross the Magical Forest under the moonlight.
Every night, the wild beasts and vicious beasts that hid in the caves during the day would come out of their nests and search for fresh meat in the depths of the dark forest. Most of the wild beasts were affected by the force of nature and wouldn't attack the forest elves on their own initiative. However, some vicious beasts would attack the elves out of hunger or under the influence of tyranny.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the forest elves would abide by some unwritten rules and wouldn't approach or cross the territories of the vicious beasts at night.
However, such rules were useless to Ai Jiaye. She even threw her head back and let out a long roar as she sprinted, taking the initiative to challenge the king of the magical beasts in the nearby forests.
Unfortunately, the magical beasts were already familiar with her voice and aura. Therefore, not only would the roars of the magical beasts not respond to her, but the forest would also become quiet. All the magical beasts would temporarily stop hunting and hide in the deep bushes, hoping that this' she-devil 'would leave their territory as soon as possible.
Even with Ai Jiaye's physique, she was drenched in sweat after running for 200 kilometers in the forest.
As she gradually approached Quellins Hut, she began to meet some elves who had escaped from there. From them, Ai Jiaye painfully heard some of the worst news.
A towering fire had turned the former elf town into a terrifying field of raging flames.
Before entering Quellins Hut, the heatwaves and lingering flames were enough to force people to step back, not daring to get close to the fire.
Several elves who had escaped from here fell to their knees at the edge of the fire in agony, crying bitterly and heartbroken.
Beside them, Ai Jiaye walked into the fire resolutely with a purple aura around her body.
Quellins Hut was a medium-sized elf town. The central area was made up of 20 to 30 large ancient trees with crowns reaching up to 100 meters tall. The huge shade of the trees stretched as far as the eye could see.
Unlike the straight and flat roads in human settlements, the elves' villages and cities rarely had any wide and flat roads. The elves' houses and buildings were built at the joints of the thick branches of the tall ancient trees, and they relied on tree bridges and rattan ropes to get between them.
But now, this beautiful and prosperous elf town had been burned to the ground by evil enemies. Every ancient tree within a radius of three kilometers was swallowed by the sea of fire, twisting and struggling in pain in the raging flames.
Under the illumination of the towering flames, Ai Jiaye walked in the sea of fire with a solemn expression.
She used her violent Sacrifice Warrior Energy to force away the flames lingering around her, and her eyes flashed quickly, searching for the enemy.
The enemy obviously hadn't gone far!
Although the flames were fierce, Ai Jiaye saw large patches of black blood stains on the tree trunks, ground, and branches. Around the tree warriors in the center of the town, Ai Jiaye saw black beetle carcasses that covered the entire forest.
The tree warriors had obviously fought to the last moment of their lives.
Beside their collapsed torsos, a thick layer of beetle carcasses almost covered half of their bodies. Their torsos were covered with countless large and small scars.
And at the edge of this tragic battlefield, Ai Jiaye found a small pile of ashes.
Ai Jiaye squatted beside the ashes, grabbed a handful of ashes with her right hand, and rubbed it.
The ashes fluttered in the air as if they were weightless.
It was a small pile of ashes that were almost completely burned out.
Ai Jiaye couldn't help but narrow her eyes.
In such a fierce fire, it wasn't unusual to see some ashes after burning. But to burn anything so thoroughly without leaving any bone residue or minerals behind was very strange.
In Ai Jiaye's impression, only special spirits or undead creatures could cause such a strange phenomenon after death. Therefore, if her inference was correct, it could only mean that some powerful undead creatures had appeared in this team of witches.
Undead creatures were evil, and so were witches.
It wasn't that surprising that they were together!
The only thing that surprised Ai Jiaye was how those hateful witches had produced such a large number of horrifying insects. If the number of insects was so huge, what method did they use to avoid the detection of the Elf Patrol Team and the omnipresent Sentinels in the air?
While Ai Jiaye was still in shock, she suddenly turned her head and focused her hawk-like gaze on a place densely covered with small mounds and wormholes in the forest clearing. And there … the flames were especially concentrated there.
It seemed … seemed … that the witches who left were trying to cover up something with the fire.
Ai Jiaye tiptoed and arrived at the clearing in the forest in the blink of an eye.
As soon as she stepped on the ground, Ai Jiaye's expression changed slightly.
There was a hole in the ground, and the sound of stepping on it was slightly different from the sound on the ground.
Without hesitation, Ai Jiaye leaped high, and a spear instantly appeared in her hand from the leather bag on her back. She inhaled and circulated her strength in the air, and the violent purple Sacrifice Warrior Energy quickly gathered on the spear.
In the next second, a purple shadow that was hard to be seen by the naked eye crossed the distance of more than ten meters and exploded in the center of the clearing.
The violent and ferocious shockwave suffocated the sea of fire around the clearing, and the scorched land instantly collapsed into a huge pit. When the dust settled, a shocking scene appeared in the pit. Ai Jiaye, the Spear of Vengeance, was instantly filled with rage.
At the bottom of the pit was a pile of flesh, blood, and bones, as well as a horrendous, pungent mucus. Among the "debris" were many white insect cocoon fragments and dying larvae that hadn't developed yet.
Looking at the strangely shaped bones, Ai Jiaye could almost picture what they looked like when they were alive, and she could also imagine the tremendous pain they had suffered at that moment.
Roaring angrily at the sky, Ai Jiaye kicked the ground with one foot and leaped into the air. The Spear of Vengeance in her hand flashed quickly, and a ring of explosions surrounded the deep pit. Under her intentional control, the shockwave of the explosions surged to the periphery, and in a flash, the center of the sea of fire in the town was cleared.
The witches had set the fire here because they didn't want the elves to find out about their evil deeds, but they didn't expect Ai Jiaye to come so quickly and in such a hurry.
Ai Jiaye forcibly extinguished the fire around the deep pit with her violent strength, then turned around and sprinted southwest of the town.
The enemy hadn't gone far!
