Chapter 142 Tree Elf (2)

The word elf is also just a general term, and there are many subspecies below.

Elves of different subtypes also have some different characteristics. For example, sea elves can physically enter the deep sea regardless of water pressure, and dark elves have much better dark vision than ordinary elves.

Most of these abilities evolved due to the living environment, and tree elves are naturally able to walk quickly in the forest.

Anna is a half-elf with a quarter of tree elf blood, and she is also a ranger who believes in the gods of nature, so after entering the forest, she felt like a fish in water, as if she had returned home.

However, all elves have one characteristic in common.

Rather exclusive.

There are also a few real elves in the school. Although they can interact with other people, there is a clear sense of distance. They only move in their own small circle.

Tree elves are also very exclusive. Many times once they step into the territory of tree elves, foreigners will be screened out of range without any explanation.

Judging from the distance observed by the secret eye, if Pei Renli and the others do not do anything, they will definitely be discovered. Even if they can talk properly, it will be quite troublesome.

After all, there is a half-elf in the team.

Elves hate half-elves even more than they hate foreigners. In the eyes of pure-blood elves, half-elves are the most filthy and ugly creatures in the world.

In the outside world, this kind of disgust may be restrained, but as it happens, Anna is still a half-elf of tree elf descent, and this place is probably the territory of the tree elf.

So after thinking that the tree elf might be nearby, Perrenli immediately asked Kaya and Anna to hide.

If you want to compete with the tree elves in the forest, it is a self-destructive behavior. It is best to hide and not meet each other. This is better for everyone.

The three of them hid under a tilted triangular rock, surrounded by a layer of vines and moss. If they didn't go around deliberately, they wouldn't notice anyone hiding behind it.

Just after I hid in, the vague singing voice from before became clearer and clearer not long ago.

‘Jade Royal Court, your eternal home’

‘White trees and green grass are your most reliable partners’

‘Even elves will eventually come to an end’

'You will be cut in two'

‘The soul returns to Orfando, but the body remains’

‘The forest that nurtured you will also accept your end’

The singing was melodious and melodious. Although there was no music and the accompaniment was just humming, but with the blessing of the elf's voice, it was still more pleasant to the ears than a grand concert.

Anna also knew that she could not meet her relatives at this time, but she could not restrain her curiosity and asked softly:

"What is it singing? Pei Renli, do you understand it?"

You, an elf, don't understand Elvish...

Of course, if she complained like this, Anna would definitely emphasize that she was only a quarter of elf blood.

But having said that, knowing Elvish does not necessarily mean you can understand the lyrics.

Because there are many subspecies of elves, the languages ​​they use are actually somewhat different, sometimes even drastically different.

To put it simply, don’t think that learning Mandarin means you are proficient in China. Local dialects will teach you how to behave.

"Based on the lyrics, it feels like tree elves are holding a funeral."

In addition to being exclusive, tree elves are also extremely closed-minded.

They are unwilling to contact any outsiders, and are not curious about the outside world. They just want to live their lives quietly in the forest, and are quite hostile to all external things.

But this is not absolute. There will always be a few weirdos who have a backbone behind their heads, such as Anna's grandmother.

But if it was really a funeral, it would be a good thing for Pei Renli and the others, at least it would not be because they found traces of outsiders and came to expel them.

But just hiding and listening to the 'concert' didn't feel safe, so Pei Renli drew a few runes, summoned the Peeping Eyes and let them fly over the treetops.

Compared with the Secret Eyes, the advantage of the Peeping Magic Eyes is that they are more numerous, can be observed from multiple angles, and the images transmitted back are directly projected onto the magic screen in front of Pei Renli, rather than being linked to his optic nerve.

It does not have as many functions as the Mystical Eye, but it can just make up for the shortcomings of the Mystical Eye.

The glass ball is large and the translucent peeping eyes quickly pass through the thick leaves and hide on the branches to look down.

Even with the peeping magic eye, you can't get too close. The tree elves have very keen senses, and they will notice the slightest movement.

Although the picture looks a bit far away, it is enough to clearly see the tree elf's funeral.

Tree elves generally have brown or reddish-brown skin, and their hair color is mostly green or dark blue or cyan, which makes them feel a bit disadvantaged...

Since they have no contact with the outside world, the clothing materials of tree elves are very primitive. They are simply made of leaves or bark. However, tree elves are also elves after all. The materials are primitive and not fake, but the workmanship is very good. They look very delicate, and they are paired with elves.

Their shared beauty is quite pleasing to the eye, even for tree elves who live like savages and tribes.

From the footage sent from four different angles, it can be seen that there are about twenty tree elves, both male and female, surrounding under a large banyan tree, holding hands and singing softly.

The sun shines down from above, and the breeze blows through the treetops, as if the surrounding trees are all keeping time with the singing.

In the center of the tree elf's circle, under the big banyan tree, lies a tree elf who seems to be sleeping.

He still looked young, with a bow in his arms and a faint smile on his expression, as if he was just sleepy and found a place to take a nap, falling into a sweet dream.

Elves do not age, but that does not mean that their lives are endless. Long-lived species are not immortal after all.

Along with the repeated singing, Pei Renli noticed that the thick roots of the big banyan tree seemed to be moving slowly, revealing a hole just big enough to put a person in.

Like a mother's warm and loving hand, it dragged the tree spirit on the ground into the pit, and the aerial roots completely covered the tree spirit, as if nothing had happened.

His soul has gone to Orfandor, the realm of the elves and gods, and the eternal home of the elves, but his body will become the nourishment of the forest.

Because according to the habits of tree elves, they are born in the forest, grow up in the forest, and after death, of course they will be buried in the forest.

Tree elves don't have too many red tapes. Out of respect for death, funerals are already the most complicated rituals.

When the banyan tree dragged the body of the tree elf under the tree roots, the other tree elves sang together several more times. Even though the lyrics were not complicated, the expressions in the elf language were very complicated, and they sang for almost ten minutes.

Pei Renli felt that his feet were numb when he was squatting, and he finally saw the tree elves on the screen disperse, as if the funeral was over.

Now they have to wait until they are far away, and then Pei Renli and the three of them can go back the same way, and it will be over. Meeting the tree elf's funeral can only be regarded as a small episode in their adventurer career.

But as the saying goes, there is no coincidence. At this time, Kaya pointed to the magic image on the far left and said:

"Look here, it seems there are people who are not tree elves."

It's easy to tell the difference, just look at the clothes. After all, the clothes of the tree elves are almost all green.

Pei Renli controlled the Peeping Eye to rotate the viewing angle and straighten the picture.

Then they did see someone who was not a tree elf, and they knew him.

"It's Camille and the others."

But they were not like the three Pei Renli people who hid and watched the funeral.

Including the little owlbear, the four people had their hands tied with a dark green rope by the tree elves. They were guarded by several tree elves holding bows and arrows, who might kill them at any time.

It feels like being captured by a tree elf...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Tree elves are definitely not a talkative group, but they are also the type who will never meddle in other people's business as long as you don't mess with them.

It is normal for tree elves to live in the sea of ​​trees, because the environment here is very suitable for tree elves. They regard themselves as the protectors of the forest and have a strong sense of territory.

It is said that when the adventurers entered the sea of ​​trees to deal with the violent demon king, they had conflicts with them because of passing problems. There are also rumors that the tree elves here and the violent demon king are allies, but there is no concrete evidence.

No matter what the situation was, there were a large number of tree elves in the sea of ​​trees. Of course, head-on confrontation was not possible. It seemed that it took many negotiations before the tree elves reluctantly agreed to use the passage.

From the perspective of the contract, the tree elves are not the enemies of the adventurers, but now that the tyrannical demon king has disappeared, it is hard to say whether the contract has been voided.

Based on Kemir's character, they probably didn't deliberately offend the tree elves, but they probably invaded the tree elves' territory and were arrested.

But no matter what the reason is, people should be saved.

It is not advisable to turn around and go back to report to the teacher, because the tree elves have only one way to deal with anyone who desecrates the forest.

——Chopped into flower fertilizer.

After Pei Renli and the others report, they will send some people over, just enough to give Kemir and the others a chance.

To be fair, Perenli didn't like Camille very much, and he wasn't familiar with Louisa, and he only knew her name. However, Perenli had a good relationship with Morn and Gary, and he couldn't ignore her anyway.

The three of them briefly discussed and determined the target of the action, but how to save...

This is really a problem.

Tree elves are extremely good hunters. They can easily penetrate the trees at a hundred steps and have many rangers or druids.

If you go head-to-head, the result is just three more servings of fertilizer.

Therefore, even if they wanted to save people, the three of them did not jump out to fight them immediately. Instead, when they noticed that the tree elves started to move, they used the spying eyes to keep track of them.

This is not easy, because the perception of the tree elves is very sharp, so they cannot get too close, and if they leave too far, they will immediately lose track of them.

The tree elves were moving so fast in the forest that if they hadn't brought several prisoners like Kemir and others, Pei Renli and the other three would not have been able to catch up if they had gone all out to catch up.

Just like this, I followed the tree elf and walked for almost twenty minutes. The time had already pointed to noon. When I saw the tree elf passing through a row of big trees, I saw that the tree elf had disappeared. Then I controlled the spying eye to follow him.
