I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield
Chapter 149: Heading to a New Battlefield, the Tree God
CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: HEADING TO A NEW BATTLEFIELD, THE TREE GOD
In the following week, Qin Tian continuously patrolled within the Golden Oak Tribe, primarily protecting the new forest area to prevent the Dark Elves from making a comeback.
During this period, he also added an extra layer of security, having the temporary worker, Anila, roaming the outskirts. If she spotted any Dark Elves, she would notify him immediately.
Furthermore, a few days ago, Yan Qing informed him that the Seventh Bureau, in conjunction with the military investigation department, launched an investigation into the Elf Star Space Fleet. Those who violated discipline or were suspected of trafficking elves would be severely punished.
"So you see, that’s the benefit of having connections~"
Sitting on a branch, Qin Tian munched on a fruit and leisurely said, "Threaten me, and I won’t give you any good fruit to eat."
After speaking, he casually tossed the half-eaten fruit down to the tree below.
Below, a giant wolf opened its mouth, catching the fruit steadily, and swallowed it in two chomps.
"Ah, it’s so boring~"
Qin Tian picked a few more fruits from the tree, took a bite, and threw them down, treating the giant wolf like a dog to amuse himself.
Lately, he had been relaxed, and aside from daily cultivation, he could only wander around and play with wild animals.
The days had been quite enjoyable at first, like a forest vacation, but it got rather dull after a while.
"It’s time to change places."
Qin Tian jumped down from the branch, patted the giant wolf’s head, and made a decision internally.
Carrying the Curse of the Evil God, he needed to seize every opportunity to enhance his strength and gather evolution points, rather than spending all his time messing around with a bear and walking a wolf.
The following day, he planned to explain the situation to the Golden Oak Tribe, then find another tribe with fierce battles, aiming to set off fireworks once more.
Returning to the treehouse, Qin Tian found Alon standing at his room door.
Seeing Qin Tian, Alon immediately approached and said:
"Qin, you’re back."
"Is there something you need, Alon?" Qin Tian asked.
"It’s like this."
Alon explained, "The Royal Family is currently in a bloody battle with the First Battle Group of the Dark Elves. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties. Just today, the Royal Family issued a call for support, requiring each tribe to provide aid. The clan leader decided to let me lead the team, and before leaving, I wanted to bid you farewell, hoping we have the chance to meet again."
The First Battle Group?
Isn’t that where Li Qi was?
Qin Tian’s eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Can I go with you?"
Hearing this, Alon was a bit surprised and said:
"Qin, where I’m heading is extremely dangerous. It’s the most intense battlefield on Elf Star, and any carelessness could lead to sacrifice. Are you sure you want to join me?"
"I’m sure."
Qin Tian declared righteously, "I came to Elf Star to help you, to resolve the Dark Elf chaos as soon as possible. Since I’m here, naturally I should go to the most dangerous frontline."
Hearing these words, Alon felt extremely moved. He looked at Qin Tian and said sincerely:
"Qin, on behalf of the Elf Race, thank you. You are my eternal friend!"
"Yeah, you’re my eternal friend too," Qin Tian replied with a smile.
This wasn’t just empty words.
Since rescuing Qiya, Alon had been exceptionally friendly to him, often inviting him to the elf treehouse and offering spirit fruits as a treat.
Feeling mutual respect, Qin Tian also regarded Alon as a friend. During casual conversations, he would share stories and interesting facts about the Human Empire, inspiring awe in Alon.
"Qin, get ready, we’ll depart soon."
"Alright!"
After Alon left, Xing Fei approached Qin Tian, unable to help herself from saying:
"Qin Tian, are you really going to the Royal Tribe? It’s very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Your spear technique may be good, but given your spiritual ability level... I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect yourself."
Qin Tian could feel Xing Fei’s genuine concern, but he could only say, he had his plans and arrangements.
Only by achieving great merits under the Elf Royal Family could he have the chance to enter Silver Moon Lake and remove the Curse of the Evil God.
Moreover, the more chaotic and intense the battlefield, the more opportunities he had to gather evolution points.
"Xing Fei, thank you for the reminder, but I have an indispensable reason to go."
Qin Tian smiled and said, "Don’t worry. I’m quite cowardly, and after I go, I’ll be fine with just taking potshots from a distance. If there’s danger, I guarantee I’ll run faster than a rabbit."
Seeing Qin Tian’s firm attitude, Xing Fei sighed internally, stepped forward, gently hugged Qin Tian, and said:
"Then I wish you... a safe journey."
"Thank you."
Qin Tian patted Xing Fei on the back.
Fifteen minutes later
"Qin Tian, safe travels!"
"Protect yourself, and if it really doesn’t work out, just retreat. We’re mercenaries, not soldiers. There’s no shame in retreating."
"That’s right, safety first!"
In front of the treehouse, a crowd shouted.
"Thank you, everyone."
Qin Tian stood on the back of the giant eagle, waving his hand towards the people below, shouting:
"Goodbye, everyone."
"Goodbye!!!"
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qin Tian set off with a dozen Elf warriors to the bloodiest and most brutal battlefield on Elf Star.
...
The giant eagle flew from dawn till dusk
Finally arriving at the destination, the Silvermoon Tribe of the Elven Royalty, just before nightfall.
"That is..."
On the back of the giant eagle, Qin Tian was awestruck, as he finally witnessed the faith of the Elf Race—the Tree God.
The Tree God was a massive tree over ten thousand meters tall, resembling the ancient Buzhou Mountain piercing through the clouds from the ground.
Emerald branches stretched into a canopy that blotted out the sky, each leaf flowing with liquid moonlight, gathering into a silver-blue waterfall a hundred meters above the ground, cascading down the gnarled trunk.
The tree roots rose like winding mountain ranges, with clear springs gushing from the cracks in the ground, refracting into a seven-color rainbow at dusk. The Tree God was enveloped in a pale-golden mist, a barrier formed by millennia of spiritual qi.
Occasionally, fine spiritual lights fell from the branches, transforming into fluttering fireflies in mid-air, circling the trunk as if placing a ring of flowing stars on the towering tree.
"Great Tree God!"
On the back of the giant eagle, Alon and all the Elf warriors faced the Tree God, kneeling reverently.
In front of this great life spectacle, Qin Tian also mimicked a devotee, clasped his hands, and slightly bowed.
Screech~~~
A green giant eagle flew over from afar, with two armored Elf Guards standing on its back, quickly closing the distance.
"Which tribe are you from?"
asked the Elf Guard.
"We come from the Golden Oak Tribe," Alon replied.
The Golden Oak Tribe
The Elf Guard nodded, then his gaze fell on the only human, Qin Tian.
Alon quickly explained:
"He is a friend of our Golden Oak Tribe, and he is also here to support the Royal Family."
Upon hearing this, the Elf Guard’s expression softened a bit, and he said:
"Alright, thank you all for your support. Follow me."
The giant eagle descended, and Alon and the others ordered their eagle to follow.
Soon, they entered the territory of the Silvermoon Tribe and landed on a clearing.
This seemed to be a transportation hub for the Elf Race, with thousands of giant eagles and birds resting on the ground, and the figures of Elf Warriors and human Spiritualists could be seen everywhere.
"We’ve arrived."
The Elf Guard jumped off the back of the giant eagle, waved his hand, and said: "This way."
