Chapter 1296: Chapter 1267: Demon Race Invasion
The Main World had undergone some changes, which Li Chen was obviously unaware of, and even if he knew, he was powerless to do anything about it now.
Because right now, he had his own matters to deal with.
"It really seems to be the Demon Clan..." Due to his strength, Li Chen could perceive the identity of the other party more clearly than anyone in the Elf Race.
Ever since he had a confrontation with the Demon race, Li Chen had become somewhat familiar with their aura.
To him, perhaps the people of the Demon race were a bit troublesome, but they weren’t as difficult to deal with as the rumors suggested.
After all, speaking of being troublesome, Li Chen did not believe that a member of the Demon race would be a match for a Huaxia Martial Artist of the same level.
And Li Chen’s current strength was completely capable of slaughtering martial artists of the same level.
"Li Chen, can you perceive those Demon race members?" Hearing Li Chen’s words, Odelia looked at him in surprise and couldn’t help but ask.
"Roughly." Li Chen nodded, touching his chin, "One Roar-level, four Roaring, and seven or eight Neutral and Below, it’s considered an elite squad."
However, Li Chen quickly realized that after he spoke, there was no reaction around him.
Whether it was Odelia standing right next to him or the other elves passing by, it seemed as if everything had frozen, without the slightest movement.
Li Chen looked over in some surprise.
He found that whether it was Odelia or the elves passing by who inadvertently heard his words, they were all standing still, each with a pale face.
"So many... strong opponents?" Odelia’s throat moved, and she opened her mouth with some difficulty.
Li Chen’s mind turned, and he instantly understood Odelia’s thoughts.
After all, Odelia was only at Union Level now, not particularly strong, and among the other elves here, the strongest only reached Black Rope, while most others hadn’t even reached Earth Level, merely being ordinary Yellow Rank, Mysterious Grade elves.
Facing such a lineup, it indeed scared them a bit.
If the Elf Queen Patricia, a Fiery Stronghold, were here, they naturally would not have to worry about anything.
But the problem was, it was evident that Patricia was not here now.
"So... what should we do?" Odelia, who was usually decisive and strong-minded, was somewhat lost at this moment, looking at Li Chen with eyes that seemed to plead for help.
She didn’t know exactly how strong Li Chen was now, but she could feel that after his disappearance and return, Li Chen’s aura had changed significantly.
Compared to before, he had become more refined and gentle, and the sharpness in his aura seemed to have been washed away, gradually hidden.
But Odelia knew very well that Li Chen had become stronger.
Because now, she could no longer perceive Li Chen’s strength at all.
Li Chen’s gaze swept over the elves around him, and his expression became somewhat serious.
Though the opponents were numerous, Li Chen had seen truly grand scenes before, and this number of people couldn’t scare him. Moreover, although these Demons seemed to come with a menacing presence, if he were to confront them, it was uncertain who would prevail.
However, it would be troublesome if these elves were also involved.
Among those Demon race strong opponents, any random one could likely decimate these elves.
Just one Roaring Level could potentially annihilate all these elves, including Odelia, right here.
After pondering for a moment, Li Chen frowned and said, "How about this: you first lead your kin to escape from the forest. I’ll handle these guys. Wait for me outside the forest, and once I resolve things here, I’ll immediately come to find you."
"You... resolve it?"
Li Chen nodded.
Odelia seemed incredulous, asking again, "You mean to face so many strong opponents alone?"
"Exactly." Li Chen turned his head, his expression extremely calm, "I’ll try talking to them first, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll fight. Although I might not be able to eliminate them all, if I want to leave, they can’t stop me."
There was a strong confidence in Li Chen’s words, which seemed to infect Odelia, causing her to nod subconsciously.
But soon, Odelia realized something was not right.
How could she agree?
This was the affair of their Elf Race, yet she was pushing such a dangerous matter entirely onto Li Chen alone?
"No, I must stay here with you!" Odelia said, "I can let the others leave here first, but I will stay to accompany you. Although my strength might not help much, I won’t drag you down, right?"
Li Chen’s gaze swept over Odelia, and although he wanted to tell the truth, he ultimately changed his words, "Odelia, I understand what you mean. But you have to know that since the Demon race came here, they must have a plan. If only these people were here, it would be fine, but what if others were guarding outside?"
"You can’t leave them; your kin need you to protect them. As for here, leave it to me."
"But..."
"There’s no ’but’, just as it is, those guys are already very close, about to enter the forest’s range, and if you don’t leave now, there won’t be another chance!" Li Chen said sternly.
"Then... alright." Odelia lowered her head, her voice sounding a bit dejected.
Soon, under Odelia’s command, the elves remaining in the forest were all gathered, and they left together in the direction opposite to where the Demon race was coming, as Li Chen pointed out.
Meanwhile, Li Chen gently rose into the air, stepping leisurely onto the treetop of a tall tree, watching the front with a calm demeanor.
In that direction, a few small black dots suddenly appeared, and they were growing larger.
As these black dots approached, it could be seen that behind them, wings-like structures were growing. It seemed that with the power of these wings, the Demon race was closing in rapidly.
"You must be the Demon race guys?" Li Chen stood on the treetop, looking at the few who suddenly stopped before him, and asked indifferently.
"That’s right, you... aren’t an elf? You’re from the Human Race, how are you here?" The leading demon spoke with a hoarse voice.
"Why am I here is none of your concern. But I’d like to know, what’s your purpose for coming here?"
"Why do you need to know that?"
"Because I need to determine my strategy on how to deal with you based on your purpose."
