In the previous battle, the mercenaries of the Ice Fist Mercenary Group were easy to deal with, but the well-trained members of the Holy Order caused him to suffer considerable losses. There were eight people in the team that came to perform the mission, and only five returned at this time. The other three were killed in the previous battle - but at this price, Skochi killed all the humans outside the cave, and his own shoulder was penetrated by a short gun, and blood continued to flow.

He knew that the penetration injury could not be pulled out at will, so he could only cut off the handle of the short gun, keep the spear head on his shoulder, and wait for his return to the village before handling it.

During the battle, the pain was almost negligible due to the surge of adrenaline. However, after the battle, he had to touch the wound every step he took, and he was sweating all over the head of cold sweat. Two of his teammates also had arrow wounds on their bodies, and he shed a lot of blood along the way. However, they, holding the magic crystal in their hands, returned to the village seven kilometers away with their strong willpower.

However, just when they were planning to report to Village Chief Bati, they found that the village was full of people inside and outside.

Since its establishment, this village has probably not had 200 people at the same time in so many years. But at this moment, Skogg saw more than 400 people from more than six villages in Jingyu Forest, and this can still be seen. The forest outside the village is also silhouetted, which is certain that it is more than 600.

"What are so many people here?"

Skogg, who was full of confusion, looked carefully and found that these people were all haggard. After all, it was cold at this time, and there was no cover outside the village. No one could stand it after the cold wind blew for a long time. However, there were still a few figures holding magic crystals among them, obviously they looked like leaders. As long as they held magic crystals, their waists would be straighter, and their tone and voice were tougher.

Skochi didn't bother to think too much, and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. When the cold wind blew, he started to tremble with coldness. When he came to the tree house of Bati Village Chief, dozens of people were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers inside, and the temperature around seemed to be higher. Seeing the wound on his body, the wood elves from other villages quickly moved away from the side. Seeing their reaction, Skochi felt that he had completed the task perfectly, so he proudly walked over.

Village Chief Bati’s previous teaching made him believe that the scars on his body were the best medal for courage. Facing the amazing and awe-inspiring eyes of the people around him, he felt that the pain seemed to fade a lot. When he saw Village Chief Bati sitting high on a brand new wooden chair, he suddenly froze: "Who are you?"

Bati, who had already shown an old look in his impression, had completely changed his appearance at this time. His appearance seemed to have changed to youth and was at least thirty years younger, with no wrinkles on his face. When he looked closely, his skin was as smooth as if he had no pores.

"The real power I gained...so it's what it is."

The original green pupils have now become purple. After the long hair is tied up, Barty is wearing a robe. He no longer holds any magic crystals in his hand, but the momentum on his body is much stronger than other wood elves. When he is looked at by those eyes, Scotch feels like he is being targeted by some kind of beast, until Barty asks: "Is it very hurt?"

"Okay, it's okay, the village chief..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his shoulders suddenly heat up. When he turned his head, he realized that the gun head was pulled out by invisible force.

The open wound was bleeding, and the bones inside were clearly visible. He estimated that such wounds would be difficult to heal, so he couldn't help but look at Bati... The latter looked at the terrifying wound at this time and whispered: "Nothing big."

Skogg swallowed, but before he could speak, he was pulled to the magic circle beside him by Barty. Barty, who was taller, turned around and said to the wood elves surrounding him: "We have been suppressing in this forest for too long. The traitor of Brudy has betrayed us. He has now become a pet of humans. For food, he can even let his tribe members trade with humans. The pride of the wood elves has long been forgotten by him..."

These words were said passionately, and the wood elves around them also responded, but many of them were a little stiff: there was the village chief Frank. Like many other village chiefs, Frank was actually very happy to trade with humans. If everyone can eat enough in winter and not get frozen, why not do it?

But people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Bati's methods were ruthless. These village chiefs obviously had no way to compete with each other in the face of extraordinary power. So they could only silently look at the powerful wood elf in front of them and continue to preach his "pure blood theory".

Fortunately, Barty didn't say much. He scolded Brody for his crimes and directly activated the magic circle. Scotchi, who was standing on the magic circle, suddenly widened his eyes, as if the pain of his body was torn, and he didn't even have the strength to shout. He knelt on the ground and fainted on the spot. As a light flashed, Barty walked forward and raised his hand to press it on his forehead. In a few seconds, Scotchi woke up. He stood up in surprise and found that his body had undergone a huge change... The terrifying wound on his shoulder had completely healed. Not only that, the strength of his entire body was also extremely full, making him feel more than twice as strong as before!

"How does it feel?"

Barty narrowed her eyes and looked at him. The latter suddenly stood up, only to realize that he was half a head taller than before, and his body was also tangled with muscles, completely losing his previous appearance of thinness.

"I... are fine! It's all right!"

Skogg lowered his head and clenched his fists. In addition to unprecedented strength, he found that he actually had control over the elements. He raised his head and bounced his fingers towards a giant tree not far away. A thin wind blade "hissed" across the tree trunk, leaving a shallow mark on it.

This scene made the wood elves around him widen their eyes. Barty obviously asked Skogg to show him a demonstration. When everyone was surprised and silent, he whispered: "Simply using magic crystals is just the lowest way to use power. Everyone... it's time to make a change."

He pointed to the magic circle behind him. Although most of the wood elves in front of him were hesitant, many of them looked straight at him.

In the Jingyu Forest where the strong prey on the weak, how many wood elves do not desire to dominate their own destiny?

*******

"Damn it... these wood elves want to trap us here alive!"

When Panda found that the exit and the corridor more than ten meters had completely collapsed, he couldn't help but curse.

However, after he said this, he was choked by dust and coughed for a long time. Before he could get the order, gravels were falling from his head, which scared the crowd so much that he hurriedly hid to the side. Elemental Master Louis hurriedly used his spell to hold up the shield and pushed it above. Devitt couldn't help but shout, "Can your spells resist?"

"I don't know how many tons of stones are on it. Even the magician can't stand it!"

Louis saw sweat on his forehead. Although what he said was a little discouraged, it was indeed a fact. Although human magicians could manipulate elements and use powerful spells, they still seemed very small in the face of natural disasters of landslides and cracks.

"Go back! This is going to collapse!"

The soldiers in front of them shouted and retreated, and then they could hear a clamor. Panda did not doubt that he was and immediately took people back. Other rooms had collapsed more or less, but fortunately, there were spells around the main passage that were specially reinforced, and they still maintained a certain intensity. In the end, they retreated thirty or forty meters and stopped on a narrow porch - not because it was safe here, but because they encountered Roddy and others coming out of it.
