CHAPTER 135: CHAPTER 135: FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH ELVES

Inside the small flying device

"Buddy, which planet are you from?"

A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard sat next to Qin Tian and casually chatted.

Qin Tian: "Silver Gray Star."

"Silver Gray Star? The planet that recently experienced the Evil God Sacrifice? Buddy, do you know any inside details, tell us about it?"

The middle-aged man suddenly became interested, and the others nearby also turned their attention to Qin Tian.

Recently, the Evil God Sacrifice on Silver Gray Star has been the most sensational event in the Azure Wood Star Realm and has also sparked quite a stir within the Empire.

After all, billions of people almost died in that Evil God Sacrifice. If it weren’t for the Military Department and Judgement Court detecting it early and destroying the Blood Sea Array of the Four Pillars Evil Array, that continent might have become a wasteland.

So when everyone learned that Qin Tian came from Silver Gray Star, they all wanted to get some insider information that wasn’t revealed in the news.

"Sorry, I was on another continent at the time, so I’m not very familiar with the specifics."

Qin Tian shrugged, "But I heard that there seems to be a handsome and capable officer in the Military Department who foresaw the Evil God’s scheme and disrupted the sacrifice."

"Handsome and capable? As handsome as you?"

"Probably about the same as me."

"Haha, buddy, you sure know how to put gold on your face."

Inside the flying device, there was a burst of laughter.

Qin Tian smiled slightly, looking at the lush green ocean outside the window, and his mood relaxed considerably.

After several dozen minutes

The flying device landed on a clearing

Everyone jumped out of the flying device, and their eyes were immediately drawn to the two elves in front of them.

On the left was an elf maiden with long silver-white hair, shimmering with a gentle luster, like moonlight on snow, a flower crown in her hair. Her skin was fair, her ears long and pointed, slightly curved forward, wearing a skillfully sewn dress of leaves and animal skin that accentuated her graceful figure. Her jade-like fingers grasped a tree bow, adding a sharp aura to her presence.

Beside her stood a male elf, tall and athletic, with golden hair shining like sunlit wheat, casually tied at the back, with strands hanging by his cheeks, and a sharp, defined facial structure, high nose bridge.

He wore a jacket woven from bark and vines, revealing solid muscles, paired with dark green leather pants, deer skin boots, and a delicate dagger at his waist.

Upon seeing these two elves, Qin Tian’s first impression was one word—perfect.

Whether it was the male or female elf, they seemed like characters stepping out of an anime, flawless head to toe.

Seeing them, one can’t help but lament the creator’s unfairness.

"I’ll bring you all here, and from now on, follow these two elves."

The captain officer moved his gaze away from the elves, said a sentence, and then piloted the flying device back to the space base.

After the officer left, the male elf spoke, his voice as clear as a mountain spring:

"Follow me."

He spoke in Elvish, but luckily everyone wore translators so they could understand him.

The eight people followed behind the elf, and along the way, the elf didn’t say a single word to them, his written arrogance apparent on his face.

To elves, humans are also considered a filthy, dirty race, just slightly better than the Dark Elves.

If not for the current internal conflict, the Elf Race needing external help, they wouldn’t allow humans into this beautiful, pure forest.

Along the way, Qin Tian silently observed the forest.

This was the most vibrant forest he had ever seen, each tree towering over a hundred meters, with flourishing ancient branches and leaves.

Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting fragmented shadows like golden veils.

All around was so quiet that only the rustling of leaves in the breeze could be heard, occasionally accompanied by crisp bird calls, emphasizing the forest’s depth. The thick carpet of fallen leaves emitted a scent of earthy and grassy freshness, each step feeling like a tender embrace from nature.

In this forest, one experiences a soul-deep tranquility, as though all troubles can be forgotten.

Due to the presence of the talents [Plant Assimilation] and [Spirit Healing], Qin Tian felt a sense of ease, the Qingtan Holy Branch Bracelet on his wrist faintly glowing, silently absorbing natural energy.

Flap, flap

Halfway through, a green bird flew from afar, chirping overhead around the elves.

"Okay, I got it. Go tell the clan leader that we’re arriving soon."

The elf maiden’s voice was crisp, carrying a touch of liveliness.

Upon hearing her voice, smiles naturally appeared on everyone’s faces.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~"

The green bird circled twice, then flapped its wings quickly flying towards the depths of the forest.

"We need to speed up."

The male elf said to everyone before stepping forward, his pace light and agile like a spirit deer.

Luckily, everyone was above Tier Three Spiritualist, able to keep up with the elf’s pace.

After about ten minutes, the group finally reached the Golden Oak Tribe.

A massive golden oak tree stood majestically, like an ancient king, its trunk so thick that it required dozens of people to embrace it, the surface marked with textures of time, as if narrating ancient stories.

The golden bark shimmered under the sunlight like it was gilded with gold, the vast canopy covering the sky, with branches spreading outward like a giant golden umbrella.

Around the oak tree, some exquisite small houses were built with timber and leaves, serving as the elves’ homes.

The houses seamlessly blended with the surroundings, as if organically grown from the land.

Winding paths wove through the trees, connecting the houses, paved with smooth stones and colorful flower petals, and filled with poetic charm.

Occasionally, nimble-shaped elves passed by, their ears sharp like blades, eyes bright, skin fair, wearing clothes woven from leaves and vines, adorned with flowers and gems, exuding elegance and energy with every gesture.

"Wow!"

The scene before them resembled a picturesque realm, the beauty and elegance causing everyone present to exclaim in astonishment.

The elves noticed another group of humans arriving, some remained expressionless, some indifferent, while others showed undeniable disdain.

Just like suddenly having a group of unwelcome strangers in one’s house, needed for cleaning, yet wished to be quickly sent away.

Qin Tian noted the elves’ attitudes and couldn’t help but shake his head.

It seemed that entering the elves’ Silver Moon Holy Lake would be far more challenging than he had imagined.
