For most of the half-elven servants, it was normal for them to fall while working in such a torrential downpour.
More importantly, the short warning cry of the attacked elf was filtered by the wind and rain. It sounded more like a cry from an accidental fall.
Therefore, most of the elves calmly glanced over and continued working after finding nothing out of the ordinary.
The only one who felt that something was amiss was the elf who pulled his companion. He immediately felt that something was amiss. His companion's arm felt strange, as though he couldn't move on his own. It was as though he wasn't pulling a living person.
He hurriedly squatted down and flipped the elf over with his back facing up. He immediately noticed that the elf's eyes were lifeless and his face was deathly pale. Shockingly, there was a deep wound on his back near his heart! Strangely, the edges of the wound were deathly white, as though it had been soaked in cold water for a long time. There wasn't a single drop of blood. Instead, when he gently squeezed the wound, turbid rainwater flowed out. Evidently, the aura of life had left this body in an instant.
While the Elf was observing his companion's wound in astonishment, he suddenly noticed that the raindrops that were dripping before his eyes had suddenly converged together in a bizarre manner. Shockingly, the raindrops formed into a transparent bladeless blade. Then, with an indescribable speed, the blade sliced across his chin!
This elf wasn't strong. Intuitively speaking, he was very weak. In fact, he only had a quarter of his grandfather's elven bloodline. The rest was human. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here as a servant. Even more so, he wouldn't follow Elrond, who didn't have many years left to live, and gamble on whether he could enter the Undying Lands.
Therefore, in the face of this strange and desolate killing blow, the half-elf only felt a comfortable coolness on his neck. Then, he didn't feel any pain. Instead, he felt something spurting out from his neck. That spurting was strange and slightly erotic. However, he immediately felt his consciousness turning dim and perplexed. He was about to fly up into the sky.
The Half-Elf's collapse and the blood spurting from his neck immediately attracted everyone's attention. If one person's fall was a coincidence, then the meaning of two people falling to the ground in a row couldn't be more obvious.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
They instantly screamed in panic. Although these servants who toiled in the rain were excellent in serving others, they were amateurs when it came to fighting. They were instantly thrown into chaos as they searched for the invisible enemy in a futile and flustered manner.
Suddenly, a mysterious transparent hand appeared beside a half-elf servant's leg and grabbed his ankle. While he was still searching for the enemy, he fell down again and stopped convulsing.
This time, the half-elf servant witnessed the ambush. He instinctively looked down at his feet and let out a horrified scream! That was because he realized that the rainwater flowing under his feet had also begun to gather into a huge transparent palm, which violently grabbed at his ankle.
At this time, the elven blood in the half-elf's body seemed to display its powerful advantage. He immediately jumped up to avoid the claw.
However, the transparent liquid hand seemed to be very unhappy that its attack had failed. It immediately grabbed the ground again.
What's on the ground? Under the downpour, apart from the hard rocks, there was only torrential rainwater. The transparent liquid hand could only grab the flowing rainwater. However, in its hand, it suddenly transformed into an incomparably sharp dagger!
The dagger looked like a transparent ice blade that was brimming with sharpness. If it stabbed someone, it would definitely leave a bloody hole!
The liquid hand immediately brandished the ice dagger and fiercely stabbed over. Fortunately, this half-elf's blood seemed to be relatively good. He could rely on his own agility to continuously dodge.
However, the strange transparent liquid hand's attack speed was equally astonishing. Often, after a single stab, the second stab would follow. More terrifyingly, it also knew a type of teleportation technique. It would suddenly dissolve into the torrential water and in the next second, it would appear behind the human! As the transparent liquid hand changed positions in a strange manner that could not be captured, after the first stab, the subsequent attacks were endless. It was like a windmill that had already started, and there was no pause at all.
Fortunately, at this moment, the half-elf had already picked up a wooden plank from the ground that was used to build a tent and blocked a few attacks.
All of a sudden, the strange ice blade held by the transparent liquid hand flickered like a ghost. It even became blurry due to the extreme speed of the stab! Every time it stabbed out, it would accurately stab the same spot on the wooden board!
As the saying goes, dripping water can penetrate stone, and ropes can cut wood. Although this thick wooden board was relatively tough, the force transmitted from the tip of the knife was abnormally huge. In the end, it couldn't withstand the constant piercing of the knife blade. With a "kacha" sound, the wooden board was immediately and resolutely shattered.
Following that, the transparent liquid hand made a throwing motion. Following that, it actually threw itself out of the water and directly pierced deeply into the chest of this half-elf!
The Half-Elf let out a miserable shriek as his skinny body staggered back and fell to the ground. His beautiful blue-grey eyes quickly lost their vitality. However, that transparent liquid hand and the sharp blade it held had also turned into a puddle of liquid after successfully committing murder.

Meanwhile, it wasn't only the half-elf servants who were attacked. The few carriages were also targeted.
In actuality, this was a meticulously planned attack, or rather, a murder.
When the transparent liquid hand was discovered, the rainwater falling from the ceiling of Elder Stanwin Yellowpage's carriage suddenly ignited. Strangely, pale blue flames appeared. Following that, these flames actually merged into a violently burning pale blue fireball. It was like a meteor shower that rained down from the sky.
But at this moment, the exterior of the carriage suddenly flickered with a green radiance. Like a protective barrier, it blocked the carriage from above.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" A series of explosions sounded! The air was filled with an unbearable scorching stench. Blazing hot air assaulted one's senses. The divine steeds pulling the carriage were tragically affected. They let out mournful neighs and died in a flash.
After the pale blue flames came in contact with the rainwater, they surged even more noisily. Even the distant unicorn staggered back from the tremors. Not only that, the blue flames that splashed out fell to the ground, burning the rocks and making them creak. When the rain fell on the flames, it was like adding oil to the fire, causing the flames to burn even more fiercely.
The green protective barrier protecting the carriage had clearly dimmed. Moreover, it was incessantly flickering under the stimulation of the splashing fireballs! It seemed as though it would be annihilated in the next second. The torrential rainwater incessantly poured down like a torrent of fuel, igniting the entire carriage. In a flash, half of the carriage was burned into ruins.
Furthermore, the decorations on top of the carriage fell and collided with each other. Under the wind and rain, they emitted light tinkling sounds. Furthermore, the burning flesh of the dead horse beside it emitted 'Chi Chi' sounds. It was an exceptionally bizarre scene!
All of a sudden, Elder Stanwin Yellowpage dashed out from the shattered carriage.
Of course, he wasn't alone. In front of his gloomy face, was an astonishingly enormous Earth Elemental baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. Like a gigantic bear, it tore apart the carriage and charged out.
Although the blue flames wreaked havoc on the Earth Elemental's body, it didn't care at all. But at this moment, an exceedingly ferocious radiance suddenly flashed through the boundless rain from afar.
That radiance gave off a feeling as though it could burn one's eyes. Not only that, it also caused one's heart to convulse in agony. It was as though this arrow was specially made to penetrate the heart.
In the entire Lord of the Rings world, there weren't many who could release such an arrow. Even amongst the elves who were experts in this field, it was the same! More importantly, the one who released this arrow wasn't an elf, but the most hated enemy of the elves.
— — Uruk-hai Lurtz!
This arrow directly pierced through the Earth Elemental's core. As an elemental creature, it wouldn't die, but it lost the ability to remain in this world. Instantly, it crumbled into a pile of rocks and collapsed.
More terrifyingly, the remnant force of this arrow heavily injured Elder Stanwin Yellowpage. A horrifying wound opened up on his chest, blood instantly dyed his robes red.
Concurrently, the winds and clouds rolled in from the horizon. An incomparably ferocious lightning bolt struck towards the other elven elder, Botehan Flaum.
The two pure white unicorns pulling the carriage of King Elrond of Rivendell simultaneously raised their front hooves and neighed furiously. Their horns flickered with a golden radiance. Such a resplendent radiance wasn't a good sign, it could only mean that a powerful evil had appeared in the vicinity.
Within the rain, an indescribable silhouette gradually emerged.
No matter if it was the majestic and unmoving knight or the sinister and ferocious mount, they were all like a source of darkness that constantly assimilated its surroundings. Wherever it paused, it was as though it was smeared with ink. Gloomy, sinister, and carried an incomparably tyrannical aggressiveness!
Even the rainwater from the skies, once it entered its surroundings, it would be infected and assimilated, brimming with a sinister aura! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
