Chapter 1298: Chapter 1269: Are You All Doing Well?
Covered by overly lush leaves, the somewhat eerie forest revealed a figure slowly emerging.
Upon seeing this figure, Odelia’s eyes couldn’t hide her delight.
Although she had always had great confidence in Li Chen, seeing him truly succeed in walking out of the forest left Odelia somewhat incredulous.
After all, it wasn’t just ordinary demons, but a group of Earth-level demons!
Among them, there was even a Roar-level presence!
Yet, Li Chen came out, which meant that he was victorious!
At least, he was alive, and for Odelia, being alive was a kind of victory.
However, as Li Chen’s figure gradually appeared before everyone’s eyes, many elves instinctively took a step back.
Even Odelia couldn’t help but have her pupils shrink.
Because at this moment, Li Chen indeed looked somewhat terrifying.
Li Chen was stained with quite a lot of blood, one might even say… a lot of blood.
This man seemed as though he walked out from a Blood Pool, appearing extremely frightening. But the most unnerving thing for the elves was, despite being covered in blood, the man was smiling.
Just like before, his smile was gentle, even making people feel warm.
However, when this smile appeared under such circumstances, it seemed somewhat abnormal.
Upon noticing the faces of the elves, Li Chen’s expression stiffened for a moment.
“I told you earlier, don’t be so messy when you eat. Now I’ve ended up all red, people probably think I’m crazy.”
At Li Chen’s waist, the blade with even a dark red hilt trembled slightly, as if expressing its grievance.
But nevertheless, Li Chen emerged, no matter what he went through, he survived, and to Odelia, that was the greatest comfort.
If Li Chen indeed met with misfortune in the forest because of them, she would probably feel guilty for a lifetime.
“Are you… okay?”
Seeing Li Chen in such a sorry state, Odelia couldn’t help but ask.
She did not fear like the other elves because she was very clear that Li Chen would not pose any threat to them.
If Li Chen had any intentions towards them, with his current power, he would have acted long ago. Moreover, he also wouldn’t need to fend off the Demon Race’s experts for them.
Hearing Odelia’s concern, Li Chen shrugged and casually said, “Just like you see now, I came out, they didn’t come out, and they never will, that’s the result.”
“Don’t look anymore.” Seeing Odelia still sizing him up, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh and say, “It looks somewhat miserable, but not a single drop of this blood is mine.”
“Alright.” Hearing Li Chen’s words, Odelia nodded her head, finally at ease because for her, Li Chen being unhurt was better than anything.
“Seems like your place here isn’t safe anymore.” Li Chen turned to look towards the Elf Forest behind him and softly said, “They sent such strong opponents against you this time, if you continue staying here, who knows what kind of experts the Demon Clan will send next.”
Odelia nodded: “Here, indeed, we can’t stay any longer.”
Looking back at the frightened elves behind her, Odelia shook her head somewhat helplessly: “Just right, let me take you to see the new Elf Forest.”
“New Elf Forest?” Li Chen asked curiously.
“Yes.” Odelia’s voice carried a peculiar fervor: “Wherever there are elves, there is the Elf Forest, because when the Tree of Life takes root in the forest, the forest will be protected by the Power of Life.”
“Alright, alright.” Though Li Chen’s relationship with Odelia was quite good, he really didn’t like this kind of thing, even if he could understand it might relate to Odelia’s upbringing, understanding is one thing, accepting is another.
Although Li Chen couldn’t be considered traditional in his Martial Artist origin, he still possessed the common traits of all Huaxia Martial Artists.
Not believing in ghosts and gods, not worshipping deities and Buddhas, only believing in his own hands.
Under Odelia’s lead, Li Chen and a group of elves traversed a long mountain range, and after almost a day’s journey, finally saw the ‘new Elf Forest’ as Odelia called it.
From afar, Li Chen smelled that familiar scent.
“Breath of Life… what a truly mystical thing.” Even if Li Chen didn’t verbally admit it, deep down he was quite curious about the Tree of Life.
He didn’t know what this tree was, nor how it existed, yet it possessed such a rich Breath of Life.
For normal people, just living within this Breath of Life’s range, one could easily achieve longevity.
And Li Chen, being here, was able to clearly feel that the previously dormant Hyper Regeneration Cells within his body were gradually becoming active again.
“Great Executor! It’s the Great Executor!”
Shortly after entering the forest, an elf suddenly jumped down from the treetop, shouting towards the back.
“The Great Executor has returned!”
“Don’t you have more advanced communication methods?” Li Chen asked somewhat helplessly to Odelia beside him. Having grown up in a modern environment, Li Chen was somewhat unaccustomed to these shout-based communication methods.
“We do.” Odelia thought for a moment, and then from her bosom took out a small horn, seemingly made from the shell of some snail-like creature.
“Wuu~~~”
The peculiar sound of the horn echoed within the forest.
Li Chen noticed somewhat peculiarly that this sound seemed to be able to transmit faster and farther through certain specific frequencies.
However, it seemed pretty much like the shout-based communication method… hmm, the difference being this horn’s sound is indeed a bit more convenient.
“This is the Elf Race’s Horn of the Executioner that only the Executioner can use.” Odelia cutely stuck out her tongue at Li Chen and said, “I forgot when we entered earlier.”
“Alright, as long as you remember.” Li Chen nodded and chose not to dwell on the issue.
Now, he thought about how he had finally returned to the Elf Race again.
He wondered whether the Elf Queen who helped him return home before still had a way back to the Main World.
He wanted to see if Daphne was still mischievous, liked to run around, and was particularly gluttonous.
He also wanted to ask whether Cherie had adapted to the life here during her stay with the Elf Race.
Friends from the minor world, are you doing well?
