In the beginning, Lin's understanding had been led astray by other Mages. He thought that the elemental creatures looked similar to the creatures of the mysterious land because the elemental creatures yearned for these creatures of the main material world with real bodies, so they imitated them.
But now it seemed that this was not the case. Perhaps the elemental creatures were the projections of the creatures of the mysterious land. Perhaps he could find an elf that looked like Gabrach Lin Tripwood among the countless humanoid earth elemental elves.
The strength and spiritual level of these elves depended not only on their physical form, but also on the elven core that contained energy waves in Lin's perception. It was because he could observe the existence of this so-called "core" that Lin was able to distinguish the individual elves. And this "elven core" could not be seen in the mysterious land. It was only after he came to the Elemental Universe that he could observe it.
In the mysterious land, the elves that were summoned would have their power evenly spread over the bodies they could control. The more powerful the elf, the larger the body they could cover, or condense to achieve more precise control.
But in this world where all things were spiritual, the elves would form a main core to distinguish each other. Then, they would extend their tentacle-like veins to control the external body. All the elves that Lin had seen, regardless of whether they were high or low, followed this pattern.
If one really wanted to study the elves of the Elemental Universe in detail, one could explore their ecology, culture, and heritage. But today, Lin had not come here to do ecological research, but to find a way to absorb the power of the entire universe.
… It sounded exaggerated. In fact, after coming here, Lin had also thought that if it could be done, it would indeed be exaggerated.
He squatted down and reached out to grab a handful of dust on the ground and rubbed it. The touch on his fingertips was very strange. It was clearly sand, but it felt like he was rubbing moss. It felt like he was rubbing against a living creature.
Lin scattered the sand in his hands and dusted his hands. He was about to turn around and talk to Lich when a huge insect-like creature scuttled out from the ground. Looking at its bloody mouth that was as big as a grinder, Lin felt as if a fishy wind was blowing at him even though there was no smell in the air.
Lin did not dodge. He just watched as the giant insect lunged at him with its sharp teeth that were spinning like sawwheels. Of course, this was not because he was arrogant or courting death, but because Fen had already mastered the lightsaber.
The glowing green blade was especially eye-catching in this grayish-white world, but compared to the giant rock worm that was lunging at him, it was no different from a toothpick. Such a huge difference in body size was an unsolvable problem for most people. However, how could Fen be stumped by such a trivial matter? Without hesitation, she swung her light sword!
The spinning lightsaber was like a green frisbee, cutting through the giant rock worm's body without any hindrance. It also accurately cut through the core of the elf, and at the same time, pierced through everything and came out of the worm's body. Meanwhile, Lich's hand stopped in mid-air. His five fingers made a grabbing motion, and the spinning lightsaber seemed to be attracted by an unknown force. It flew back and slashed the giant worm's body again.
What would happen if the core was destroyed? The answer to this question was now playing out before his eyes.
After a round of light sword attacks, the giant worm was sliced into three pieces. After the core was cut open, there were no signs of recovery. Instead, it scattered in all directions without restraint. The energy veins that extended to the ends of the worm's body either shrank until they disappeared or broke apart, spilling out like a destroyed core. The giant worm's body also disintegrated and disappeared just like the energy within his body.
Lin was not surprised at all when he saw this scene. Because in his perception, other than the size of the giant worm, all other parts of it were worthless. It was impossible that the Lich could not be dealt with, and of course, it could not be a threat to him.
However, Fen, who had put away her lightsaber and closed the blade, was still frowning as she stared at the hilt in her hand. Lin had a guess and asked, "Did the consumption of Authority exceed expectations?"
Fen nodded and said, "The consumption rate is several times higher than in the Lost Lands. If this is the case, as long as there is no replenishment, there will be a limit to how long I can use it. "She swung her hand, pulled open her clothes, and neatly hung the hilt of her lightsaber back on her waist. At this moment, someone inadvertently saw a row of lightsabers …
Fen said in an indifferent tone, "But it's not a big problem. I have backup. When it's all used up, at most I can use Blink to go home and revive on the spot with full health. "
Sister, you revived on the spot with full health. I really don't know how to complain about what I just saw. Just how much money had been wasted in that case?
Thus, someone only dared to think about the previous sentence in his heart. As for saying it out loud, it would be another day. He had to choose a good day to fast and bathe.
However, just because someone did not intend to pursue the matter, it did not mean that the Lich would let him go. Fen's eyes shone as she stared at the mage in front of her and asked, "What's the next step?"
"Walk around."
"Do you think we're here for an outing?" Fen said unhappily.
Someone was timid and could only appease her and tell her his plan. "It wasn't easy for us to come here using our own methods. Of course, we have to gather as much information as possible about the Elemental Universe. The more data we have, the more we can deduce the results we need. "
"Can't you just ask the Elemental Lord? Don't think that these elven lifeforms have a way to lie to me. "
Raising his hands in surrender, Lin said: "Why would I think that there is someone or something that has the ability to lie to you? But I don't think it's a good idea to go to the Elemental Lords right from the start. "
Fen, who was refuted, was not annoyed, but asked: "Why?"
"First, we can't go to the Elemental Lords and tell them that we intend to pack up the whole world and take it home. I think that even if we still haven't figured out what elven culture is all about, this sentence shouldn't be something that can be easily said. As for the second point, even if we succeed in concealing our intentions and ask the bigwigs in power, the information we can get in the end will be the information that the other party wants us to know. Regardless of how much of it is true and how much of it is false. I don't think that the information will be more accurate than the results obtained after we go there and see the world with our own eyes. … "
After saying that, he took a breath and drank some water. Noticing that the Lich showed signs of being convinced, Lin explained.
"… This is also the reason why I didn't actively look for the Wizard Families that have the coordinates of the Elemental Plane. Perhaps the preparations in advance are indeed less troublesome, but those coordinates must lead to the vicinity of the Elemental Lords. In other words, as soon as we arrive, we will fall into the eyes of the bigwigs of the Elemental Plane. What kind of information we can get next will depend on the other party's mood. "
"You can't trust them?" Asked Fen.
"Even a pig that lives for thousands of years will become a spirit, let alone these elves who are said to live as long as heaven and earth. Instead of taking the trouble to distinguish whether their words are true or false, as well as concealing words that might screw things up, it's better to keep a distance, find a way to get more bargaining chips, sound them out, and then lay our cards on the table.
