Chapter 145 Literally Unexpected(1/2)

The best way to save someone is to come and leave quietly, but with the clang of the cage crashing down, it's almost impossible to even think about leaving quietly.

Kemir has the best physical ability. He was also the first to jump out of the cage. As soon as they met, he hurriedly held Pei Renli's hand:

"Thank you very much. If you hadn't come, we would probably..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Renli quickly interrupted:

"We'll talk about thanking you later."

These words suppressed Luisa who was following Camille and wanted to say thank you.

Compared to Camille, who was not very familiar with them, and Luisa, whom they knew nothing about except for their names, Gary and Moen were very familiar with each other, so they were very casual.

"Pei Renli, have you seen my armor and shield?"

"And my piano."

"What the hell! I don't have so much free time, run away!".

The rustling of the tree elves moving among the treetops can already be heard. It is only a matter of time before they are discovered. Now there is no room to care where their stolen equipment is.

Turning to look at Kaya on the other side, the latter pulled out the hot razor from her waist:

"Follow me!"

It is extremely difficult to hide the sight of the tree elves from the ears and eyes without using some unconventional methods. You can rely on invisibility potion when you come in, but not when you go out.

Because Pei Renli and the others used 9 bottles just to find the four captured people, the remaining invisibility potions could not be used anyway.

However, Pei Renli was used to thinking the worst when things happened, so he found a way out on the way here.

Using the arcane eyes flying in the sky to conduct reconnaissance, we chose the shortest retreat route. What we had to do now was to get down from the tree and climb over the semi-natural wall outside the tree elf village.

Even if the tree elf is agile and flexible, it will take time to catch someone running after him. Although he takes some risks, he will have a chance as long as he climbs over the wall.

If the tree elf still pursues him relentlessly, Perrenli also told Ravna in advance and asked her to control the monsters wandering nearby to pass by forcefully. At that time, she can take advantage of the chaos and run away, escaping from the tree elf's territory.

It should be safe.

"The prisoner has escaped! Inform the others!"

As expected, the tree elves shouted from the treetops, but Pei Renli and the others had not been hit yet.

The tree elves are all good at using bows and arrows, but they can't hold weapons in their hands when they are free at home. Except for the guards guarding the village, most of the tree elves can only shout loudly when they find that the prisoners have escaped.

This will buy you quite a bit of time.

After instructing Anna to stop at the end of the team, Pei Renli drew a simple rune, activated the magic of oiling the soles of the feet to increase movement speed, and ran to the middle of the team.

Because the corridors and stairs built by the tree elves on the giant trees were too narrow, it was already difficult for two people to run side by side. Therefore, in order to protect the four defenseless people, the combat power had to be dispersed.

In addition to the footsteps of everyone, the ears were filled with the rustling of leaves and the shouts of the tree elves who discovered their escape, as if the originally peaceful tree elves village suddenly exploded.

Although he had a plan, Pei Renli still didn't have much confidence in his heart. After all, it was difficult to defend against the tree elf's arrows, even with magic.

He followed the team nervously with his staff in hand. The group ran past them on the wooden aisle without caring about their feet.

At this moment, Pei Renli noticed a green aura appearing in the corner of his eye. He wanted to turn his head to see the source, but as the aisle turned, the aura ran behind him in a flash.

And almost at the same time, a large number of finger-thick branches grew on the tree trunks that everyone was standing next to, and the leaves and branches spread out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This should be a druid's spell to control the growth of plants, which caused a lot of trouble to everyone who was advancing.

Kaya, who was running at the front, swung the burning razor repeatedly and opened a hole. Perrenli took out his machete and threw it to Kemir who was not far away.

Although Perrenli didn't like Camille very much, he had to say that his personal ability was indeed good. The efficiency of cutting branches with a machete was not much worse than Kaya's enchanted long sword.

Soon, everyone got out of the influence of the druid's spell with their heads covered with leaves, but at this time, Kaya at the front shouted:

"There's no way!"

Passing through the trees that suddenly grew up, Pei Renli looked forward and saw that the corridor that was originally nailed to the tree trunk with wooden boards was pulled up by a rope like a building block. It was at least ten meters away from the other end.

Kaya and Kemir may be able to jump directly, but it is unlikely for others.

However, Kaya's reaction was very quick. She glanced down twice and jumped very boldly.

There was a thatched tree house diagonally below, which was round and half-embedded in the trunk of the tree. Kaya landed on the roof and waved to the people still on top.

Now everyone is hundreds of meters above the ground. If you don't pay attention when jumping, you will be smashed into pieces, but there seems to be no higher way.

Louisa and Morn jumped over one after another, and then it was Perrenli's turn.

"I'll follow you, don't look down!"

Hearing what Kaya said, Pei Renli gritted his teeth, completed the Feather Falling Technique in his hand, took a slight run and stepped on the edge of the aisle to jump down.

The whistling wind blew past my ears, and the strong sense of weightlessness increased my adrenaline, making my palms feel sweaty.

However, the roof of the tree house is still soft. When Perenli landed, Kaya helped him upright to prevent him from falling.

Suddenly I can understand Red Bull Expendables a little bit. This sense of adventure is indeed a bit addictive.

Just as this idea popped into his mind, Pei Renli heard a 'click, click, click' sound from below him, like something breaking, and then his feet were empty...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

——Time goes back a little bit.

Although the tree elves have a tribal-like civilization, they actually do not have a real patriarch or leader, nor do they have a hierarchy. Every tree elf is equal.

If something big happens, the wisest or most capable individual in the tribe will usually serve as the elder.

However, the tree elves usually have nothing to discuss with the elders, and some so-called elders have never played any role in their lives.

On the other hand, if this group of tree elf elders who advocate freedom gather together, it is not to solve some trivial matter between their parents.

"Everyone knows about the prophecies sent by other tribes."

The first person to break the calm was a tree elf with eight tattoos on his face. Although he looked young, the eight tattoos meant that he was at least 400 years old.

Seeing others nodding, he continued:

"A major change is coming, which may be an opportunity or a disaster for the tree elves."

"The question is, how do we identify the two and what actions do we take."

The tree elves have always been transparent in the forest, and no matter what big thing happens, it seems that it has nothing to do with them. In fact, it is not the case. The tree elves rarely pay attention to the outside world, but they have always been careful to use prophecy spells to predict all threats.

"On that note, I recently held a prophetic ceremony."

The speaker this time was a female elf. Compared to the others, she looked unusually haggard, and her eyes that should have been shining seemed to be covered with a layer of white gauze, as if she had some kind of eye disease.

The most conspicuous thing is her hands, which are full of scorch marks, as if they had been burned by a fire not long ago, showing a charred black color. Occasionally, pink tenderness can be seen under the cracked skin.

Meat.

This was not caused by fire, but by a curse.

She is a cursed witch.

If you want to gain strength, you must make sacrifices. There is nothing in this world that comes without hard work.

There is a group of people who are different from mages who learn magic knowledge and master their own power. They communicate with mysterious beings outside the territory and obtain special abilities and protection. These people are called wizards.

Cursed witches want to gain power, but do not want to rely on some mysterious existence to communicate, so they are burdened with a curse.

Blind eyes and blackened arms are the pain caused by the curse, but at the same time, they also bring strength to the cursed wizard.

"We need to find a key figure. Only this person can allow the tree elves to survive this change."

"Who?"

The cursed witch shook her head very lightly, as if a little force would irritate the fragile skin of her arms.

"He is guarded by the bearer of the Flower Kiss. ​​He comes from a place outside the territory that we cannot observe. The prophecy tells me that he will appear in front of us in an unexpected way."

"Flower kiss..."

The elder thought for a while:

"But I remember that Hua Qi disappeared seven or eight hundred years ago."

"That's why it was unexpected."

"Are there any other clues?"

"No more revelations."

The most disgusting thing about predictions is not that they are inaccurate, but that they are vague.

"Coming from outside the realm...this reminds me of the prophecy about the emergence of a new demon king."

Mentioning this, the elders in the room all looked down, and some people sighed in a low voice:

"It would be great if His Majesty the Demon King is still here."

The tyrannical demon king is extremely cruel, and the tree elves living in the big tree sea are oppressed by him. When the adventurers stepped into the big tree sea, they were warmly welcomed by the tree elves.

This is Dashu’s overseas propaganda, and it can be said that it has nothing to do with the facts.

The tyrannical devil kept monsters away from the tree elves tribe and gave considerable protection and help to the tree elves. During that time, the population of the tree elves grew rapidly, and several new tribes were actually born.

If it hadn't been for the strong request of the violent demon king, those adventurers would have been attacked head-on by the tree elves the moment they entered the sea of ​​trees.
To be continued...
