The depths of winter had arrived, and the frigid winds howled harshly, bringing with it a flurry of snowflakes. The bone-chilling cold made the Forest Troll, who had lived in the Dark Forest for a long time, feel their hands and feet turn icy cold. It was a good thing that Han Shuo had brought enough rations and thick clothing with him this time. Otherwise, this harsh winter would've been a disaster for the Forest Troll.
Han Shuo and the Forest Troll ventured deeper into the Dark Forest over the next few days. They didn't head south this time, but headed west from the start.
Han Shuo had the Forest Troll build a simple palanquin over these few days, and he silently trained in the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens". The "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" required magical yuan to be infused into the meridians of the hands and feet, and then used a special method to activate the magical yuan to fly into the sky.
After the foundation training of the three levels of the solid, open, and molded spirit demonic arts, Han Shuo, who had now reached the true demon realm, was much faster in training the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" than when he'd first trained the "Mystical Glacial Spellfire". Because his meridians had already been expanded and strengthened, Han Shuo didn't feel the slightest hindrance when he followed the path of the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens".
In the following days, Han Shuo didn't continue to stay in the palanquin. He found a random excuse to stay in the back and secretly tried flying with the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens". Knowing how to use it was one thing, but there were still a few tricks to truly fly in the air. Han Shuo tried many times, but was only able to rise into the air. He still wasn't proficient enough in controlling the direction, and fell from the sky many times.
On this day, the heavy snow stopped wreaking havoc on the land, and the Forest Troll also stopped in front of a mountain valley. Han Shuo, who was still trying to quickly finish training the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens", immediately stopped training when he discovered that the Forest Troll had suddenly stopped and quickly rushed to the front from the back.
"Emissary, that mountain valley should be where the elves live. A long time ago, our two children saw a large number of elves in the vicinity. " When Han Shuo walked in front of the old priest, he pointed at the snow-covered valley and explained to Han Shuo respectfully.
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. Unfortunately, because of the snow covering the trees and ground, Han Shuo could not see what was in the distance.
Han Shuo chanted a mysterious magic incantation in a low voice. Then, an oily green halo flew out from Han Shuo and headed towards the snow-covered mountain Tanai.
"Life Detection" was a mid-rank necromancy spell, and one that Han Shuo had only recently mastered. Life Detection was a spell that did not have any attack function. As the name suggested, it was only used to search for life. It was useful in unknown environments.
As soon as the spell was deployed, Han Shuo squinted his eyes to feel. Where the "Life Detection" spell passed, Han Shuo did not feel any traces of life. When the spell circled the outskirts of the mountain valley once, it disappeared without a trace due to the exhaustion of mental strength.
"There are no traces of life in the mountain valley, but we can go in and take a look. If the elves really live here, they must have left some clues on the trees. If we can find the houses that the elves live in here, then that would be the best. "Han Shuo thought for a moment and instructed the old priest.
Han Shuo and the Forest Troll warriors were in front, and the troll hunters and priests were behind them. They cautiously and slowly made their way into the depths of the mountain valley. Their feet made crunching sounds as they stepped on the snow. When the troll warriors in front of them entered the mountain valley, they waved the weapons in their hands and shoveled away the snow on the surrounding trees. They kicked the snow on the ground with force, wanting to see if there were any clues left behind.
A cry of surprise came from a young Forest Troll. When Han Shuo's ears caught the cry of surprise, his body shot in that direction like lightning. But when Han Shuo stood at the source of the sound, he suddenly discovered that the Forest Troll that had just cried out had disappeared.
Furrowing his brow, Han Shuo listened attentively to the movements in his surroundings. He then walked a few circles on the snowy ground and finally stood on a messy patch of snow. He suddenly stomped down with force.
With a plop, Han Shuo's body suddenly dropped down and landed in a pitch-black hole in the span of a breath. The young Forest Troll's cry of surprise came from a remote corner not far away. In the pitch-black hole, it was very ear-piercing.
Han Shuo's body had long since adapted to the darkness. He rolled his eyes and Han Shuo discovered that the cave he was in led to somewhere underground. After careful observation, Han Shuo discovered that the cave entrance was very wide, and there were traces of footsteps as it extended downwards.
Could it be that the elves who worshiped the Goddess of Nature and loved the forest had all come to live underground? Han Shuo was a little confused. After a momentary daze, he activated the "Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens" and his body slowly rose into the air. When he landed, he clenched his fist and punched out, destroying the snow that covered his head.
The Forest Troll that had fallen carelessly cried out in surprise for a while. His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he groped his way up.
A strange whistling sound suddenly came from the depths of the ground. Han Shuo's heart jumped, and he once again released the "Life Detection" spell, targeting the source of the sound deep underground.
As soon as the "Life Detection" spell was released, Han Shuo sensed an enormous amount of traces of life. He was immediately startled and abruptly rushed out of the cave, raising his head and letting out a shrill howl.
The old priest heard Han Shuo's cry and approached from afar inquiringly. In the process, the Forest Troll that had fallen down also climbed out from the hole. The troll warriors that had been scouting the situation in the surroundings all rushed over with their weapons in hand. After clearing away the snow at the entrance of the hole, a deep hole that could fit three or four people side by side was revealed.
A few arrows whistled through the air at high speed, startling the forest trolls who'd craned their necks to see what was going on. The old priest was furious, and was about to give the order to attack the life in the hole, but Han Shuo extended a hand to stop him.
The elves loved nature, and probably wouldn't live in the dark underground. Han Shuo was a bit curious as to what kind of people were down there, so he didn't let the Forest Troll attack immediately.
With a few whooshes, a few figures shot out from the hole. Sharp ears and handsome looks were the unique characteristics of the elves, but these elves had black and dark purple skin and silver white hair, which made them seem so different.
"It's the dark elves!" The old priest cried out in surprise when he saw these strange elves appear.
With the old priest's shout, Han Shuo finally reacted. As elves, they had abandoned peace and nature, and their faith in the Goddess of Nature, and instead worshipped the Queen of Darkness, Rose. They had lived in the dark underground for a long time, and their skin had turned black and dark purple.
They had evil personalities, and they burned, killed, and plundered everywhere. They existed as a matriarchal family, with females as the main leaders. In the underground world, they were the same as the Forest Troll, an evil race that was full of evil deeds.
As the first few dark elves rushed out, more dark elves slowly surged out. After they appeared, they first guarded the hole, holding weapons in their hands as they stared unkindly at Han Shuo and the Forest Troll.
Han Shuo waved his hand, indicating that the old priest shouldn't act rashly for the time being. He slowly spread out towards the back, but kept his weapons pointed at the dark elves that were gradually appearing, guarding against any sudden attacks.
Each of the beautiful and revealing female dark elves had an impressive figure. Even in the cold winter season, they didn't seem willing to cover up their skin. Although their dark purple skin was strange, it had another kind of magical attraction.
After a while, a coquettish dark elf noblewoman also walked out. She wore a soft fur coat that faintly revealed her beautiful legs and voluptuous breasts.
This beautiful dark elf madam looked at the Forest Troll around her in surprise after walking out of the cave. She smiled coquettishly and asked in the common language, "So it's the brave troll friends. Why have you come here?"
The old priest naturally knew that he'd found the wrong person at this time. As a sage of the Forest Troll, the old priest's knowledge was extraordinary, and he naturally understood that these evil dark elves weren't good people either. He snorted lightly and responded, "Our children have discovered traces of large numbers of elves nearby. Because we Forest Troll have an irreconcilable grudge with the elves, we've come to destroy these elves."
The coquettish madam's attitude became much better after these words were spoken. She nodded and said, "We also have an irreconcilable grudge with them who live above ground. Every once in a while, the surface elves will come here and try to enter the underground world to attack us. The large number of elves you've discovered must be coming here to start a war with us. Heh heh, I've long since heard of the godly bravery of you trolls above ground. It looks like we have a common enemy. "
The old priest fell silent after her words and then turned to ask Han Shuo respectfully, "Emissary, what should we do next?"
Han Shuo wanted to rob these dark elves, but he didn't know just how many of them there were, nor did he know how strong their fighting strength was. Therefore, he pondered inwardly.
The coquettish dark elf madam was quite surprised at the old priest's question towards Han Shuo. Although Han Shuo was wearing a black robe that concealed his entire body, his build was noticeably smaller than that of the Forest Troll. It was obvious that they weren't of the same race. The old priest's respectful attitude naturally surprised the beautiful madam.
"Brave friends, our family is currently facing an attack from a dark dragon. If you're willing to lend a helping hand, we can offer a cart of gold and jewels as our greatest thanks. If you can kill that dark dragon, everything he has will belong to you." The dark elf madam suddenly opened her mouth at this moment when she saw Han Shuo standing there silently.
Han Shuo started. He hadn't thought that the dark elves of this family would be facing an attack from a dark dragon. As an evil dragon, dark dragons also liked to live in the dark underground world. It was indeed very unlucky for the dark elves to run into a dark dragon.
Frowning, Han Shuo thought for a bit and felt that this dark elf's proposal was a bit tempting. Although the dark dragon's strength was extraordinary, it shouldn't be impossible to kill him with the dark elves of this family and the power of five hundred Forest Troll.
Every single dragon had a treasure that made people tremble. Hence, the benefits obtained after killing a dragon were irresistible to everyone.
"Let's take a look at the underground world first. If we can deal with that dark dragon, we'll agree to your proposal." Han Shuo thought for a bit and said.
"I dare guarantee that with the help of your five hundred brave troll friends, that dark dragon will die without a doubt. I'm Dana, welcome to the underground world with us. "The beautiful dark elf madam said happily and then instructed the dark elves.
The dark elves who had just rushed out of the cave re-entered the cave one by one under Dana's orders. Finally, Dana lifted her hips and walked down, beckoning to Han Shuo and the old priest.
Following behind them into the underground world, they could take the opportunity to retreat if anything went wrong. Therefore, when he saw the dark elves go down first and Dana stay behind to take care of them, Han Shuo felt that there shouldn't be any danger and nodded to the old priest.
With Han Shuo and the old priest in front and Little Skull in the middle, the five hundred Forest Troll descended from the cave entrance one after another and walked towards the underground world where the dark elves lived.
The deeper they went, the wider the cave entrance became. There were even some reddish-brown stones growing in the depths, emitting a faint light and making the underground world less dark.
