Staring at Xuan'er's intoxicatingly beautiful face, Tang Lie couldn't help but feel a sense of love and care in his heart. He gently held Xuan'er's cattails and whispered: "Don't worry, I will take you with me."
Two lines of crystal tears slowly fell from Xuan'er's beautiful eyes. She shook her head vigorously and said after a long time: "Master... Xuan'er doesn't want to go to the Lost Forest..."
At this moment, Tang Lie remembered Xuan'er's past. The Elf King once saved her life and had the idea of accepting Xuan'er as his concubine. No wonder Xuan'er was reluctant to go there.
Xuan'er whispered: "Xuan'er wants to accompany Brother Ya and the others to the Nadar Plain first, where they will wait for the master's safe return."
Tang Lie smiled and nodded: "Okay, maybe I will get there before you." Considering the relationship between the Elf King and Xuan'er, it is indeed best for Yi Ren to follow Ya Yi'an and others to take a detour.
The choice can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Everyone said goodbye in the dusk. Lindsay put the armor and protective gear she had made for Tang Lie on the saddle, and handed the dragon-slaying knife to Tang Lie, warning: "Master, you must be careful."
Tang Lie smiled and said, "I've told you many times that I am not your master."
Lindsay bit her cherry lips lightly, and at this moment the Pugang Puni brothers came over. They knelt down in front of Tang Hunter Horse and said loudly: "Master, we want to accompany you to the Mythic Forest." [
Tang Lie was slightly startled and whispered: "Don't you know that the elves do not recognize your status and are quite hostile to you?"
Puni whispered: "Our mother has the greatest wish in her life. She hopes that we can go and see our grandpa."
Pu Gang said loudly: "If the master does not agree, we will kneel here and not get up."
Ya Yi'an laughed loudly from behind and said, "Tang Lie didn't say no, so what's your name?"
Tang Lie looked at Ya Yi'an, who quietly gave him a wink. After all, Tang Lie was alone if he went alone, so it would be nice to have two helpers.
Tang Lie could only nod his head and said: "Okay, you two can follow me, but you must be cautious in everything and don't act impulsively."
The two stood up happily and divided Tang Lie's luggage into two parts and carried them on their backs.
"Master, be careful!" Xuan'er warned with tears in her eyes.
Seeing Xuan'er's charming appearance, if not everyone was present, Tang Lie would have taken her into his arms and comforted her. At this time, he could only suppress the sadness in his heart and smiled at everyone: "Don't create a scene of separation between life and death.
It looks like we will be reunited in half a month at most."
Ya Yi'an said: "Don't forget, we are waiting for you in the Green Valley of Nadal Grassland. If you don't come within a month, I will treat you as dead!"
Xuan'er said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Ya Yi'an laughed loudly and took the lead in galloping towards the due north road.
Tang Lie looked deeply at Xuan'er, then galloped towards the west road with the two Pugang brothers.
After traveling for more than ten miles, they had arrived within the scope of the Lost Forest. The surrounding vegetation gradually became lush and the road had reached the end. The Pugang Puni brothers got off their horses and used their machetes to chop down the trees, vines and weeds in front of them.
, in order to move forward.
Tang Lie said: "It seems that it is not wise for us to bring our horses. There is no road to walk in this forest." He turned over and jumped off the horse, and casually pulled out the dragon-slaying knife: "Let us cut it out.
A way!"[
Puni smiled and said, "It's better to leave these heavy jobs to me and my eldest brother. Master only needs to walk."
Tang Lie laughed and said: "Everyone is gathering firewood and the flames are high!" As he spoke, he strode to the front and struck with a knife. The explosive sword energy mixed with blue knife flames spread to a range of five meters in front, and the weeds, trees and vines turned into
The ashes flew away in the wind.
The two Pu Gang brothers were stunned. Pu Gang touched the back of his head and said, "Good boy! Master, when did your swordsmanship become so powerful?"
Tang Lie didn't expect that the power of his sword would be much higher than before. It seemed that it was the result of the mental method Professor Ming Lin gave him, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
The three of them took turns walking in front of the team, chopping vine branches and cutting out a road in the woods for passage. As a result, the marching speed became slower, and it took them a day to cover a distance of about twenty miles.
At night, the three of them camped by a stream in the forest. Pu Gang shot a few mountain birds, plucked their feathers, broke their bodies and smoked them on the bonfire. Puni filled the wine bowl he brought with him with wine and brought it to them.
In front of Tang Lie.
Tang Lie sniffed the fragrant birds and couldn't help but sigh: "If Xuan'er followed us here, she would definitely not let us hunt these birds."
Pu Gang turned around and said with a smile: "There are a lot of wild game in this forest. Even if you don't eat birds, there are other things you can enjoy."
Puni said: "I'm going to catch two fresh fish and bring them to drink!" He took off his coat and jumped into the stream. When Tang Lie first met them, he knew that they both had excellent water skills and smiled.
Admire Puni's swimming style in the stream. Within a minute, Puni has thrown a herring weighing three kilograms onto the shore.
Tang Lie happily took it, and after a while, Puni came up carrying two white snowfish, dripping wet.
The two picked out the gills of three fresh fish, washed them, and handed them to Pu Gang. Pu Gang strung them on tree branches and handed the roasted mountain birds to Tang Lie and Pu Ni. Tang Lie picked up the wine and said, "I'm still so worried.
Have a happy life, go fuck the emperor, go fuck the queen, go fuck the high priest, from today on, I won’t think about those bullshit worries anymore, and live my life how I want!” His words were actually inspired by his thoughts.
, if he had not always held in his heart the desire to return to the past world, he would never have fallen into trouble again and again.
Pu Gang grabbed the bird meat and took a big bite and said, "Master, what will we do next?"
Tang Lie was slightly startled. He suddenly found that he still couldn't answer such a simple question. The reason why he chose the path of the lost forest this time was because he was worried that Liu Guyan would continue to send people to chase him and bring misfortune to his companions.
, Secondly, because of Ming Lin’s words, Tang Lie asked himself, although he tried his best to give up the idea of going back, he could not let go of the hope in his heart. He still wanted to learn something about the Holy Dragon Knight from the Elf King.
secret.
Puni and Pu Gang saw Tang Lie's expression and put down their wine glasses at the same time.
Tang Lie smiled calmly and said: "After meeting the Elf King, we will go south to the Nadar Plain, meet up with Ya Yi'an and the others, and find a place with fertile water and grass to build our pasture and home."
Puni and Pu Gang's eyes showed surprise at the same time. Everyone yearned for a peaceful and comfortable life, and they were no exception.
Puni picked up the wine glass and said, "The master will be our king then!"
Pu Gang excitedly picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Yes! The master is our king!"
Tang Lie smiled and shook his head. In their opinion, there was no essential difference between a leader and a king, but Tang Lie had never wanted to be a king in the past. He kept running into obstacles in the face of reality. The passion in Tang Lie's heart had already gradually cooled down. If
Everything is destined to change, and he would rather spend this life peacefully. The sad eyes of Kong Lingchui and Mo Guyuan suddenly appeared in his mind. Their past may be his future.
A flock of birds suddenly appeared in the forest, and the three of them were startled at the same time. Tang Lie signaled to Pugang to put out the fire quickly, and the three of them hid in the dark trees.
At this time, a bright silver figure appeared in the night sky, quickly approaching the direction where they were hiding. When it reached their heads, it suddenly fell downwards like a meteor. It could be seen from the trajectory in the sky that it had lost its balance.
The silver figure fell heavily into the stream, and water splashed everywhere. After a long time, the man did not surface.
Tang Lie motioned to Puni to go over and see what was going on. Just when Puni was about to start, he heard the sound of water moving softly. The silver figure struggled to climb up from the stream. He took two difficult steps and staggered.
He fell to the ground for a moment.
Tang Lie and the other three men gathered around the man with weapons in hand, but they saw an Elf man lying on the ground. His long blond hair was wet from the stream and stuck to his shoulders. His face was pale and bloodless, and his chest and abdomen were cracked.
Dozens of bleeding wounds were made, and some wounds were still bleeding.
His chest heaved violently, and his blue eyes looked at the three uninvited guests beside him with fear.
Tang Lie briefly checked him and found that the elf's body had many broken bones and multiple internal lacerations. It was impossible to save his life. His eyes fell on the silver wings behind him.
These wings were similar to paraglider wings. He had seen it on the little elf princess. It seemed that the elves had mastered the skill of flying in the air using paragliders.
The Elf tribesman suddenly grabbed Tang Lie's arm and looked at him like a beggar: "Go and inform...the Elf King...the Gulie tribe...tear up...tear up the agreement..." Blood foam continued to pour out of his mouth.
, the big hand holding Tang Lie's arm suddenly went limp, and life had left his body.
Tang Lie had long been accustomed to bloodshed and death, and the scene in front of him did not touch him much. He turned to Pugang and the others and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Take care of his body and we will leave immediately."
The brothers Pu Gang and Puni picked up the elf's body and buried him in the bushes with rocks according to Tang Lie's instructions. Tang Lie was attracted by a golden ring on the ground. After picking it up, he discovered that there was an inscription on the ring.
There was a strange inscription on it, which seemed to be the identification of this elf man. He put the ring away. Maybe he could confirm the identity of the deceased when he saw the elf king in the future.
The three of them continued walking deeper into the forest. Tang Lie remembered what the man said just now and asked in a low voice: "What race are the Gulie people?"
Pu Gang said: "Orcs!"
Tang Lie frowned. He had a bad impression of the orcs, thinking they were a group of uneducated barbarians.
Puni said a little strangely: "The Gulie tribe and the elves have always been hostile. According to what the elf said just now, it seems that they have reached an alliance before?"
Tang Lie smiled calmly and said: "No matter what happens between them, it is none of our business. We will leave immediately after seeing the Elf King, and we are too lazy to care about their business!"
After walking through the Lost Forest for two days and nights, they did not find the Elf tribe as they expected. The closer they got to the core of the forest, the more complicated the terrain became. For most of the day, there was a hazy mist lingering in the forest.
The shade of the trees overhead completely blocked the sun, making it difficult to correctly identify the direction of travel.
Tang Lie patted the tree trunk depressedly: "Damn it, no wonder it's called the Lost Forest. Everything is the same everywhere, and I don't even know where to go."
Puni laughed: "Master, don't worry, we should be walking in the right direction."
Pu Gang, who was walking at the front, suddenly let out an exclamation. The two of them rushed towards Pu Gang's position, only to see three rotten corpses attached to a huge spider web on a big tree not far ahead.
They have wings on their backs, but the wings of these people are different from those of the Wing Clan. They have a fleshy membrane structure and no feathers grow on them.
Pu Gang whispered: "Mothmen, strange, they originally lived in the north, how could they come here?"
Tang Lie suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. He turned around suddenly and saw a spider with a diameter of half a meter quickly descending from the shade of the tree above, dragging behind it a shiny thread as thick as a thumb.
So.
Tang Lie reacted extremely quickly, and slashed at the giant spider with the dragon-slaying knife in his hand like lightning, chopping the spider into two halves, with green blood splattering everywhere.
At the same time, from the shade of the trees above, dozens of huge spiders descended from the sky, and the silk ropes on their bodies blocked all the roads around Tang Lie and the others.
Tang Lie used his own energy to activate the sword flames, and the dragon-slaying knife rolled up the blue sword flames and swept away towards the surrounding spider webs. Although the spider webs were tough, they were instantly reduced to ashes when encountering Tang Lie's indestructible sword flames.
Pu Gang and Puni also drew their scimitars and quickly killed the giant spiders that fell on the ground. The three of them cooperated tacitly, and in the blink of an eye they had killed more than twenty giant spiders.
Worried that more spiders would be attracted, Tang Lie signaled the two of them not to fight and to leave the woods as soon as possible.
The fog ahead was getting thicker and thicker, with a faint fishy smell. Their vision was all disturbed by the thick fog. Tang Lie silently called to the little white dragon in his heart, hoping that it would hear his call and come to guide them.
Direction of travel in fog.
Not long after, a majestic cry was heard in the air. The little white dragon rushed into the thick fog with golden light, instantly dispersing the thick fog in front of him. A passage with clear scenery appeared in the woods. The little white dragon
He didn't stop and flew straight into the distance.
Pu Gang and Puni were both stunned. It was the first time for them to see such a wonderful sight.
Tang Lie laughed and said, "What are you doing here? Move forward as quickly as possible along this passage. The thick fog will invade again soon."
The three of them took long strides and moved forward at full speed. Under the guidance of the little white dragon, their marching efficiency increased several times. After about twenty miles, they finally walked out of this dense and foggy jungle. The little white dragon flapped its wings.
Fly into the distant sky.
A towering mountain peak appeared in front of the three people, surrounded by a red river. Puni pointed to the mountain peak and said: "If I read it correctly, this mountain peak should be the center of the Lost Forest-Yuanshen Peak, the Elf King and
His tribe is stationed here."
Pu Gang looked at the turbulent Red River in front of him: "Is it possible that we have to swim across it?"
Tang Lie looked at the lush trees around him and said, "Rest here tonight. Let's cut down some trees and form a raft to cross the Red River early tomorrow morning."
Because of what happened along the way, a shadow cast over Tang Lie's heart, and he had a premonition that unknown dangers were approaching them.
Before the sun had set, the three of them worked together to cut down the trees. Puni made a tough rope out of bark and vines, and set up a raft on the shore. Looking at the completed work, the three of them cheered together and clapped to each other.
Celebrate each other.
Tang Lie said to Pu Gang: "Are you really coming with me to see your grandfather?"
Pu Gang smiled honestly: "Master, this is one of the reasons. Another reason is that we don't trust you to come alone."
Puni said: "The elves have always believed that their own bloodline is the noblest and do not pay attention to other races at all." His eyes showed resentment.
Tang Lie whispered: "Actually, you and the elves are still connected by blood after all."
Pu Gang said loudly: "We have nothing to do with the elves. If it weren't for their ruthlessness, our mother would not have died unjustly."
Tang Lie was startled in his heart. He didn't expect that their brothers' resentment towards the elves would be so deep. Tang Lie sighed and said, "Sometimes, it's better not to keep hatred in your heart all the time, otherwise hatred will become a part of your heart."
If you are burdened, you will never be happy in your life."
Pu Gang and Puni spoke silently at the same time.
Tang Lie knew that they could not understand his words, and even if they remained silent, they would not be convinced.
Pu Gang finally couldn't help but said: "Master, if you can forget the hatred in your heart, then what's the point of living?"
Tang Lie was deeply shaken by his words. He suddenly thought that since he came to this continent, he had been indifferent to everything around him and always isolated himself from the world. Not only could he forget his hatred,
Even feelings can be forgotten. According to Pu Gang, what's the point of living?
A bitter smile appeared on Tang Lie's face.
Puni noticed the subtle change in his master's expression, and thought that his elder brother's words had made him angry, so he hurriedly said: "Master, my elder brother has always spoken like this, you must not be offended."
Pu Gang said blankly: "Did I say something wrong?"
Tang Lie laughed and shook his head. He stretched out his hand, slapped the tree trunk next to him heavily, and sighed: "Pu Gang is right. When people live in the world, if they can't do it, they dare to love and hate. If they live,
What's the point?" Tang Lie suddenly realized that many things were caused by his negative attitude. He kept saying that he wanted to accept reality, but he couldn't really do it in his heart.
Pu Gang whispered: "What is the master thinking?"
Tang Lie smiled and said, "I'm thinking about how to live a more meaningful life!"
When the first ray of light in the morning filtered in through the gap in the shade of the trees, Tang Lie sat up from the grass first, went to the Red River to wash away the tiredness on his face, stretched his arms, and looked to the east.
It showed a bright red color, and the rain seemed to have passed.
Pu Gang and Puni woke up almost at the same time when they heard the noise, and said apologetically: "Master, damn us, we actually got up later than you!"
Tang Lie laughed and said, "Why do you have to be earlier than me?"
Pu Gang said: "Because you are our master!"
Tang Lie patted his broad shoulder. The concept of status has long been ingrained in their consciousness. Telling them that everyone is equal is simply disrespectful. Tang Lie was too lazy to put in the effort and said with a smile: "Go and get ready.
Let’s cross the river right away!”
The Pu Gang brothers worked together to launch the raft into the river, and Tang Lie jumped on first.
The three of them worked together to support the raft to the other side of the Hongshui River. Although the Pu Gang brothers were excellent at water skills, they were not good at maneuvering the raft, and Tang Lie lacked experience in operating an oar. The raft arrived at the center of the river where Didi Liu Liu Liu was.
When the raft started turning, Pu Gang was so anxious that he simply took off his coat and jumped into the river. He used his arms to move the raft forward, and Puni also jumped in.
With the full force of the two of them, the raft broke through the waves and headed for the other side. Tang Lie smiled and said: "Having you brothers by my side really helped me a lot..." His voice was suddenly interrupted, and several shadows were cast above his head.
After coming down, Tang Lie looked up and saw two elves with silver paraglider wings hovering in the air above him. The long bow in his hand was drawn like a full moon, and the cold metal tip was pointed at the Pugang brothers in the water.
Tang Lie shouted loudly: "Don't get me wrong, we came here specially to visit the Elf King!"
The two elf warriors looked at each other. They heard Tang Lie's words clearly. Although they did not launch an attack immediately, they still stood ready. One of the elf warriors blew the silver whistle on his chest. Not long after, they saw
A group of elven warriors appeared on the high cliff opposite the river bank, and all the bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at Tang Lie and the others.
Tang Lie knew that these elves had accurate shooting skills. If they attacked at the same time, the only outcome waiting for the three of them would be thousands of arrows piercing their hearts. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but on the surface he still looked calm and composed, and ordered in a low voice:
"Don't worry about them and continue crossing the river!"
The two Pugang brothers also knew that in the tense situation before them, it was best to cross the Red River as soon as possible. They accelerated their swimming speed and finally arrived on the other side of the Red River under the supervision of the elven warriors.
A tall elf warrior, accompanied by two companions, strode up to Tang Lie. His emerald-like eyes stared at Tang Lie coldly and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Tang Lie said: "High Priest Ming Lin specially asked me to come over to pay homage to the Elf King. He must already know about this."
The elf warrior's eyes flickered, and his eyes fell on the Pugang brothers. They became full of contempt and said coldly: "You can go over, these two bastards must not tarnish our sacred territory."
Pu Gang was furious and said: "You bastard, what did you say?" Although Pu Ni was also furious in his heart, he was much calmer than his brother after all. He knew that any impulse might ruin the master's important event, so he grabbed Pu Gang's arm.
, signaling him to suppress the anger in his heart.
Tang Lie stared at the elf warrior coldly and said, "Which one are you scolding, you bitch?" Insulting his loyal subordinates was tantamount to insulting himself. Tang Lie was immediately filled with disgust towards the elves, who thought they had noble blood.
The elf warrior immediately heard the sarcasm in Tang Lie's words and said angrily: "What? Are you looking for trouble?" His big hand was already touching his waist.
Tang Lie sneered and said: "Is this how you elves treat guests? I promise you, as long as you dare to take action, I will make you splash with blood immediately!"
These elven warriors had no idea that Tang Lie would be so rampant. They all gathered around and prepared to attack.
A majestic voice in the distance shouted: "Ji Feng, step back!"
A blond man wearing a green robe strode towards their direction. He was about 1.90 meters tall, with a slender figure, strong and rhythmic steps, and a hint of melancholy on his handsome face.
Ji Feng and the group of warriors all lowered their heads respectfully. Ji Feng put his right hand on his chest and said respectfully: "Second Prince!"
It turns out that this elf man is Po Kong, the second son of the elf king, and he is also the one with the most mysterious shooting skills among the elf clan.
Po Kong nodded calmly, waved his hand and said, "You guys, please step aside and leave this place to me."
Jifeng glared at Tang Lie angrily, and then left with his men.
Po Kong came to Tang Lie and looked him up and down. There was a bit of friendliness in his eyes, which was completely different from the arrogance and coldness of the elf warriors just now. He asked softly: "Are you Tang Lie?"
Tang Lie nodded and said, "Tang Lie has met the second prince!"
Po Kong smiled and said, "Actually, we have already met."
This sentence made Tang Lie confused. He had never met him before. Looking back carefully, he still couldn't remember where he and Po Kong had met. He was about to ask, but Po Kong changed the subject and said, "Father already knows about you."
The news that is going to pass through here, let me pay attention to your movements. What happened just now was because I did not make detailed arrangements. I hope Mr. Tang can forgive me."
People respect me as much as I respect others. Po Kongong was so polite that Tang Lie felt embarrassed. He said apologetically: "I was a little rude just now, and the second prince shouldn't be offended."
Po Kong smiled and turned his eyes to Pu Gang and Buni. Although the other party was a half-elf, Po Kong's expression still did not show any disgust or disdain. He politely said: "You two can go if you are willing."
Rest in the tree house ahead, and I will make appropriate arrangements for you." The reason why Po Kong said this is because the elves have extremely contemptuous views on half-elves. If Pu Gang and Puni accompanied Tang Lieqian
Okay, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble.
Puni nodded first, and Pugang saw that his brother had already expressed his intention, so he had no choice but to agree.
Tang Lie told them: "I will go there with the second prince. After meeting the Elf King, I will return as soon as possible. You guys just wait for me here and don't cause any trouble."
"Master, don't worry!"
Tang Lie and Po Kong climbed up the winding stone steps to the Origin God Peak. Halfway through, Tang Lie finally couldn't help but ask, "Second Prince, have we met before?"
Po Kong smiled and said, "I've seen it before!"
"But I can't remember where it is?" Tang Lie said honestly.
"Back in Lunde, the imperial capital of the Xuanwu Kingdom, you once had a dispute with the beloved son of General Adams..."
After Po Kong's reminder, Tang Lie suddenly woke up and shouted loudly: "You are the mysterious man shooting arrows on the bridge!"
Po Kong smiled calmly: "To this day, I still have fresh memories of Mr. Tang's bravery that night."
Tang Lie couldn't help but feel ashamed. With the force he had at that time, if he wanted to confront the Adams family, he would be seeking death. However, no matter what, he had to protect Xuan'er from being bullied by outsiders.
Thinking of Xuan'er, Tang Lie couldn't help but think of the extraordinary relationship between the Elf King family and Xuan'er, and thought to himself: "If they ask me about Xuan'er's whereabouts, how should I answer?"
Fortunately, Po Kong didn't like to talk much, and his conversation with Tang Lie was only a few words, and did not involve the topic of Xuan'er.
The elves on the Source God Peak have built many hidden fortifications. With the elves' shooting skills and the steep terrain of the Source God Peak itself, if a foreign enemy invades, they will probably pay an extremely heavy price.
There were not as many elven warriors on the Origin God Peak as Tang Lie had imagined. It seemed that there was another place where the elves lived. Walking up to the top of the peak, he came into the misty clouds and mist, and led Tang Lie to a hidden place through the sky.
At the entrance of the cave, the four elf warriors in front of the cave saw Po Kong coming and hurriedly saluted him.
The two of them walked into the cave, and their eyes suddenly fell into darkness. Tang Lie was secretly wondering, why did the Elf King choose such a dark place?
His eyesight quickly adapted to the darkness in the cave, and he could clearly distinguish the changes in the road ahead. They should be walking diagonally downwards, and the farther they went, the narrower the cave became. In the end, the cave could only accommodate one person.
After walking through the narrowest part, my eyes suddenly opened up. The skylight was projected from the transparent dome above, clearly reflecting the entire huge stone hall. Under my feet was the clear water, with white round jade inlaid in the water like pearls.
above.
Jump up to the jade stone through the air, this is the way to the front.
Tang Lie followed closely behind him, admiring the surrounding scenery and sighing in his heart: "The Elf King used to live in the heart of the Origin God Peak!"
The Elf King sat quietly on the cold jade bench, showing Tang Lie a strong and powerful back. His hair was a pleasant blue, which was completely different from Po Kong. It seemed that Po Kong had blond hair.
Eighty-nine is inherited from the mother.
Tang Lie came to stand five meters away from him. The Elf King suddenly turned around, staring at Tang Lie with his eyes as blue as the sea. There was no smile on his marble sculpture-like face: "Tang Lie?" Jump to!
