In the depths of the Elven Forest, a hunting team made up of half-orc mercenaries was carefully traversing the forest.
"Hurry up! You trash! If the target escapes, don't even think about getting a single cent this month! "
The captain, Rock, held a mace made of animal bones in his hand as he cursed fiercely.
After kicking his subordinate's butt, Rock turned around. His vicious expression immediately disappeared as he looked at the towering World Tree in the distance with a smile. However, his sharp teeth and ugly face made him look exceptionally ferocious.
"Hehehe, the great priest is right. As long as we stay near the World Tree, we'll definitely catch these stupid long-eared elves!"
Rock's heart was filled with anticipation as he thought of the possible rewards.
Since the war of the gods a thousand years ago, Mother Nature, the main goddess of the elves, had fallen. The World Tree had withered, and the elves had lost the protection of their true god, causing their strength to plummet.
As the most beautiful, elegant, and long-lived race on the Segers Continent, the elves had become a hot commodity in the slave trade for the past thousand years.
A young female elf could be sold for a sky-high price in the human world!
Even an adult male elf was a hot commodity in the high-end slave market!
The half-orc tribe that lived at the edge of the Elven Forest made a fortune by capturing elves and selling them to the human world.
Rock was even more so. He had already hunted more than ten elves. Even if he was part of the half-orc royal family, he could be considered a wealthy man in the entire tribe.
"After this, I'll propose to Biluo, and then buy a property in Chaos City. I'll bid farewell to my barbaric mercenary life."
The Rock Ghost King thought to himself happily.
"Boss … I've found the target. There are two of them! One of them is a female, and definitely of the highest quality! No … it's the highest quality! "
Suddenly, the scout's surprised voice came from the front.
Rock perked up and immediately pulled out his mace.
"Idiots! Hit this guy! Let's hurry up and surround them. Be careful not to be exposed. I'll smash the balls of anyone who dares to ruin it! "
…
Alice and Rock left the Temple of Nature in silence.
The elven girl looked back at the withered giant tree with red eyes.
This was the last time they came for the sacrifice …
Every time, she hoped to awaken the Mother Goddess, but every time, there was only disappointment.
Now, even as the Saintess of the Druidic Order, she had no choice but to admit that the Master God of the Elves had truly fallen …
The Main God had fallen, and the royal family had no more descendants. The elven kingdom had long since been destroyed, and the elves had fled in all directions. The brilliant Silver Civilization had become history …
Under the threat of the hunting team, all the remaining clansmen had to hide.
There was no hope for the future of the elves.
Thinking of those bastards who treated her clansmen as goods and mercilessly hunted and humiliated them, Alice gritted her teeth.
However, he also felt powerless.
Without the protection of the gods, the elves were no longer as powerful as they used to be.
"I wonder how many of our people will be left after a hundred years …"
The girl sighed.
The old priest Samir was silent.
One hundred years …
Would there really be a hundred years?
The elves … didn't even have a proper race anymore.
Even if they regained their power now, without the protection of the Mother Goddess and a sufficient population, it would be difficult for them to regain their former glory.
The two of them walked quietly with heavy hearts.
Suddenly, Samir's expression changed slightly, and his two pointed ears twitched slightly.
His body suddenly straightened, and he bent a branch and sniffed it. Then, his expression changed greatly.
"Oh no! There are Beastmen! "
Before he could finish his words, the surrounding grass suddenly rustled. Accompanied by excited roars, more than a dozen hideous and ugly huge bodies emerged from the ambush and surrounded the two of them so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
They had been ambushed!
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Beastmen, the two elves' expressions changed drastically. They immediately stood back to back and took out their magic staffs and weapons.
The dozen Beastmen greedily looked at the young elven girl, and their evil gazes pierced Alice's body until she trembled.
Looking at their familiar attire, endless anger surged in the elf girl's heart …
They had encountered the Beastman hunting team!
Old priest Samir's expression was grave. He gritted his teeth and roared:
"I'll hold them back, you run!"
After that, he shouted loudly and chanted an incantation. Then, he transformed into a four-meter-tall black brown bear!
This was his Druid ability. For a short period of time, he could transform into a natural creature and obtain 70% of the other party's strength.
The giant bear he had transformed into was a powerful rank 3 magic beast unique to the Elven Forest, and it had the strength of an Upper Iron rank!
Feeling the aura of the giant bear, the Beastman mercenaries became restless, and their expressions became grave.
But before Samir, who had transformed into a giant bear, could attack, a huge mace suddenly flew over and fiercely hit the bear's abdomen.
Along with the sound of bones breaking, the giant bear let out a painful howl and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, its body hit the ground and transformed back into the old elf.
But at this moment, the old priest was badly mutilated and fell unconscious in a pool of blood.
With just one hit, their most powerful force was crippled.
"Hehehe, so weak."
The Beastmen cheered and then slowly moved aside. A three-meter-tall Beastman leader, who looked like a mountain of flesh, walked over. It was Rock.
Rock picked up the mace on the ground and licked the blood dripping from the edge of the bone spur, his eyes full of ridicule.
Alice looked at him in disbelief, her voice trembling:
"This … how is this possible?"
The old priest had the strength of level 30, which was already at the peak of Middle Iron rank.
And to be able to defeat him in an instant, there was only one possibility …
Upper Iron rank!
This leader was definitely at the upper Iron rank!
And it was very likely that he had reached the peak of Upper Iron rank! Level 40!
The difference of 10 levels was overwhelming.
For a moment, her heart was filled with endless despair.
She turned around and looked at the withered World Tree, her eyes full of sorrow.
"Mother Goddess … Is this your punishment for us?"
"Hehe … Mother Goddess? Your Mother Tree was burned down by the gods a thousand years ago. "
Rock glanced contemptuously at the giant tree in the distance, licked his lips, and shook his head.
He was very satisfied with his attack just now. Just a few days ago, he had finally advanced to level 40, reaching the peak of Upper Iron rank, and was only one level away from Silver rank.
Father Goddess above! After this, I have the funds to prepare to advance to Lower Silver rank, and become the most powerful person among the Beastmen.
The Rock Ghost King thought happily.
He looked at Alice from head to toe, a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, and an unconcealable surprise appeared on his face.
"Good stuff indeed! Not bad, not bad, the humans will definitely like it! "
Then, he looked at the girl and threatened her.
"If you behave, you can suffer less …"
"Hehehehe …"
The Beastmen around them also laughed in understanding.
Alice's eyes were full of anger. She took a deep breath, drew her staff, and prepared to fight with her life.
However, before she could make a move, the Rock Ghost King's figure flickered, and with a "pa" sound, her weapon was sent flying.
"So weak … You call yourself a Silver Race with such strength?"
The Beastman's voice was full of mockery.
Silver Race …
Hearing this, Alice's heart was filled with sorrow.
In the distant past, when the Elves were still under the protection of the Lord God, every adult Elf had at least the strength of Silver rank.
Races that reached Silver rank when they reached adulthood were also known as the Silver Race.
At that time, how glorious was the Elven civilization? Legends, Demigods, and more …
And now, they could not even produce a single Upper Iron rank professional …
Not only that, but they were also bullied by the Beastmen, who could barely be called the Iron Race!
Alice clenched her fists, her heart filled with grief and anger.
"Hehehe, at this point, do you still think you have any other choice?"
Rock mocked her.
Alice looked at him hatefully, her heart filled with sorrow.
Thinking of her clansmen who had their families destroyed in plundering and killing, thinking of the tragic fate of her compatriots who were sold as slaves, Alice's heart grew colder and colder …
Gradually, she calmed down.
The Elven girl closed her eyes and began to chant silently …
Waves of oppressive magic spread out from the golden-haired Elf.
Rock's expression changed.
"Not good, she's going to kill herself by reversing magic, stop her!"
Hearing their leader's words, the Beastmen immediately became restless.
Rock was even more furious.
Living Elves were treasures, but dead ones were just corpses!
Alice pursed her lips. At this moment, fragments of memories surfaced in her heart …
That was two hundred years ago, when she was still living happily with her mother …
That was when the Elves were still around, and everyone piously prayed to the Mother Goddess …
That was when her mother died of illness, and she was chosen as the last Nature Saintess …
A drop of sparkling tear rolled down. Alice chanted the last incantation, instantly detonating her power of faith!
A bright radiance bloomed from the girl's body, like a golden sun.
Rock's face contorted, and he roared:
"Stop her …"
Before he could finish his order, the scene in front of him made him swallow his words.
An obscure wave passed by, and the light on the girl's body flashed, then withered like a punctured balloon … In the blink of an eye, it returned to normal.
As if nothing had happened just now.
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.
Rock looked at the dazed Elven girl with a strange gaze, swallowing his heart that was about to leap to his throat. He then laughed mischievously:
"Trash!"
Alice stared at her hands in a daze as she mumbled to herself, "That's right.
"Why can't I …"
"I didn't chant the wrong incantation … What just happened …"
"Mother Goddess … Could it be that I can't even control my own life …"
Looking at the dazed Elven girl, Rock heaved a sigh of relief. He then gestured to his left and right:
"Tie her up! Be careful not to hurt her! "
After he finished speaking, the Beastmen under him did not move.
Rock frowned:
"What are you waiting for? Get to work! "
The Beastmen still did not move. On the contrary, they all looked at Rock in horror, and at the same time, kept retreating.
"What are you doing?"
Rock's expression darkened. He was really angry, and traces of anger continued to rise.
A strong Beastman looked behind Rock in a daze, swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He then stretched out his trembling hand, his voice somewhat hoarse:
"Boss … Behind … Behind …"
Behind?
Rock's brows furrowed.
A cool breeze blew from behind, accompanied by the smell of soil. A huge shadow covered everyone.
Rock's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of uneasiness spread in his chest.
Muttering softly, the Rock Ghost King turned around vigilantly …
His expression suddenly froze.
Behind him,
A thirty-meter-tall giant Treant stood there with a cold gaze.
His sturdy body blotted out the sky, and that enormous and terrifying pressure caused even the air to stagnate ….
Rock's pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the terrifying figure.
His eyes widened, and at the same time, he opened his mouth in shock. His voice was dry and filled with disbelief:
"Oak … Oak Tree Guard?"
Basaka's cold gaze swept over, and his voice was cold and emotionless:
"What did you just say?"
