Chapter 197 Warcraft: Rian's Exposed, Warcraft Attack, Tata's Father...

"Ahem, let me introduce you, this is Ryan."

Lai stepped forward to smooth things over, fearing that Seya might say something else shocking.

"He is Ryan?"

This time, Seya was completely energized, looking at Lai and Ryan across the leaping campfire.

"yes."

Saiya's unusual calmness told Lai that Saiya had already guessed it, but had just not revealed it.

"Is it really a little elf?"

"no."

Seya recalled all the known species on the continent, but none of them matched up with Ryan.

Suddenly, a memory flashed into his mind, causing Seya to widen his eyes. A guess that seemed both the most unlikely and the most likely popped into his head.

"An elementalist! It's an elementalist!"

No wonder Ray so easily decided to choose the Eton Forest route; no wonder he rushed out without hesitation when the beast horde attacked the village; and no wonder there were all the changes that happened to him when he was surrounded by goblins and their people…

One by one, the events gradually came together.

I remember it was during wartime, and an elementalist "contractor" appeared in their tribe.

That predecessor single-handedly withstood the attack of an entire demon king's army, protecting the nascent elven kingdom.

Saiya grew up listening to the stories of this hero.

Because of his wood elemental affinity, the contractor also received a weapon from the mother tree.

Later, for the peace of the entire continent, the contractor sacrificed his life. The Wood Elementalist also disappeared without a trace, and no news of him has been heard since.

Lei didn't deny Seya's words. It's just that the elf was acting too excitedly, which was different from his usual demeanor.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Tata was startled by Seyia's voice and jumped out of the carriage.

Ryan perched casually on Lai's shoulder, while Seyia watched the two of them with fervor.

Oh no, we've been spotted?

"Lay?"

"Um?"

"Saya?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little excited."

Tata moved closer to Seya's leg and gave him a light bite on the calf.

"hiss!"

Seya looked at Tata, the little monster with a smug look on its face, as if it had saved Tata's life.

"Call Mr. Li An!"

"Lord Li An!"

Seya readily complied, and his shout came without any hesitation, while Lai seemed a little awkward.

He felt that Sayya was in a similar state to a fan meeting their favorite star at a concert, with the star sitting on their shoulders.

Oh... what's going on here?

“Rian”.

Ryan didn't speak, but his voice was still transmitted through thought, and both Lei and Tata heard it.

"Well."

Saiya was completely dazed.

"He means that it's fine to call him by his name normally."

"Yes, Lord Ryan."

Um... okay, okay.

Unable to get an answer, Lei accepted it.

Lian didn't say anything more and drifted back into the carriage.

"You should call him Lord Ryan."

The little monster whispered a reminder to Seya, who nodded solemnly.

"Lay, you should go back and sleep with Lord Ryan. I'll keep watch here!"

Something about what I said sounds a bit off.

Ray remained silent, lost in self-doubt.

"Don't you have any questions for me?"

Seymah shook his head.

"Go to sleep now. I'll ask Tata if you have any questions."

Seya scooped up the little monster at his feet.

"Release the beast! Release the beast! Take your claws off its rear end!"

Lei chuckled and returned to the carriage.

"Lay, I'd like to try some fruit wine."

Ryan transmitted his voice to Lai.

"I just finished washing up tonight..."

"You sleep, I'll drink."

"Hmm."

Ray suddenly lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Ryan used magic to easily retrieve a bottle of peach blossom wine from the pendant space.

The aroma of the wine was strong, and it tasted exactly the same as it did back then.

Saiya then took out dried meat and various nuts from his spatial storage.

He'd wanted to eat these for a long time, but hadn't had the chance. The sound of shelling pine nuts and walnuts filled the night, resulting in Lai being full after barely eating anything the next morning.

Sayya learned some things from Tata that he had never known before.

It turns out that Ray and Ryan had such an agreement, which is why Ray sometimes behaves differently when eating.

Seya also asked Tata how to tell if Laiyi was still Laiyi. Finally, after promising to brush the little monster's fur morning and night for half a month, he got the answer he wanted.

"The one with the golden eyes is Lord Ryan, and the one with the green eyes mixed with gold is Ray."

Upon closer examination, it's actually quite easy to distinguish between two people based on their personalities.

Saiya felt like she had lost out, but in reality, she had still gained.

The vain little monster cherished its fur, and the thought of being able to touch it every day filled Seiya with indescribable joy.

After having breakfast the next morning, the group continued their journey towards the Elf Kingdom.

Ray continued to walk around the edge of the swamp, and even when they lit a fire again to cook dinner that night, they still hadn't managed to get out of the area.

Judging from the surrounding vegetation, it shouldn't be far.

Persisting, after taking a long detour, they finally returned to the original road on the afternoon of the second day.

We successfully navigated the swamp and are getting closer to our destination.

After resting for a night, we set off as usual.

The Everglades are beautiful yet dangerous; for the past two days, they've practically become walking blood bags for all sorts of mosquitoes.

The insects in the swamp are far more ferocious than those outside; here, even insect repellent powder has no effect.

One bite and a huge welt appears, so itchy you feel like banging your head on the ground.

The scariest thing is that after the itching subsides, a bluish-purple bruise will remain at the bite site, and no one will believe that these insects are not poisonous.

Ray shared the antidote that Black had left behind with everyone, and he also added a small amount of it to the horses' drinking water.

When people suffer, the horses suffer too.

As they passed a puddle, several leeches bit their legs, and by the time Lai and his men noticed, the leeches had already sucked their fill of blood.

Neither horse went berserk; they had great patience.

In the morning, Lai and Tata drove ahead, while Seya rested in the carriage.

After bypassing the swamp, the road surface was very smooth, and the journey was virtually unimpeded.

Lei has grown accustomed to the lush trees and abundant wood elements in the forest.

As far as the eye can see, there are only trees. One after another, some tall and straight, some strangely shaped, and some entwined with many vines.

"boom!"

A loud noise came from afar, startling countless birds. They scattered in all directions as if fleeing, and for a moment the forest was filled with the mournful cries of wild birds.

Ray recognized the sound; it was the sound of trees collapsing during felling.

What exactly happened over there?

Lei was filled with doubt.

"What's wrong?" Sayya asked groggily, having been woken up.

"It looks like a tree has fallen."

"Oh, it's nothing, it happens often in the deep forest."

Seya went back to sleep.

"Lian, could you fly up there and take a look at the situation?"

After Ray finished asking his question, a small figure radiating golden light floated out of the carriage and slowly spread its wings and flew into the air.

Ryan's wings are truly beautiful; no matter how many times I see them, I can't help but exclaim in amazement.

He flew very high, and Ray stopped the carriage where he was and waited for him to return.

Ryan didn't keep Ray waiting long; He was very quick.

"Close your eyes."

Ray closed his eyes, and images he had never seen before appeared in his mind.

Visual sharing!?

How many surprises did Lian still have in store for him?

The view of the entire forest from above is very different from that from below.

Those towering trees that once reached for the sky now look like big, green cotton candy clusters.

Ryan had already flown over the crash site, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

A long trail of dust rose up, and Ryan concealed himself as he flew downwards.

When the video reached Ray, it was a rapidly plunging perspective, almost like a painless bungee jump, which made Ray's heart race.

After flying to the bottom, Lian finally confirmed that there was indeed a giant tree that had broken due to natural causes. The part near its roots had been hollowed out by borers and was emitting a rotten smell.

The giant tree's massive trunk crushed many small animals and plants to death. However, this also brought new life to the other plants around it.

In just a few days, it will be covered by new plants, and the remaining organic matter will be transformed into valuable nutrients for the entire forest by the action of fungi.

This process will last anywhere from several months to several years. During that time, the sky that has finally peeked through the forest will be obscured again.

After confirming the situation, Ryan flew back to the carriage, and after Ray thanked Him, they drove off to continue their journey.

Ryan was quick, and they didn't waste much time.

The carriage traveled smoothly on the road, and they would soon reach their destination.

Just then, before Lai could even see what was happening, a huge figure suddenly rushed towards the carriage, causing it to tumble over several times.

Due to inertia, the two horses were pulled to the ground by the carriage, their bodies bearing deep bloody marks from the reins and harnesses.

Ray only had time to grab Tata and roll into the tall grass beside him before his body crashed heavily into a tree.

"Tata, how is it?"

"Woo, the beast is alright."

There are still people in the carriage!

Saiyan!

The sudden turn of events caused Ray's adrenaline to surge, and he didn't immediately feel any pain in his body.

His mind was unusually clear at that moment, and the scene before him allowed him to immediately determine what had just happened.

They were attacked by a giant monster.

"roar!"

The monster roared and launched a second attack on the carriage. Lei rushed over nervously, trying to pull Seya out of the carriage.

"Saya! Ryan!"

Just as the monster was about to touch the carriage, another monster with pure white scales descended from the sky and charged straight at the first monster that Lai and his companions had encountered.

The two magical beasts instantly began to fight.

The first monster was large and had thick flesh, giving it an advantage in close combat. However, the white monster was more agile, with hard scales and sharp teeth, and would occasionally bite its opponent's neck during the fight.

He seemed to be deliberately leading his opponent further away from the carriage.

This is good; it gives Ray the perfect opportunity to check on the carriage.

He opened the carriage door; the inside was a mess. Seya and Leo were unharmed; they were firmly protected by a green shield and had not suffered any injury.

"Blood! Lei, your mouth is bleeding!"

Seyia exclaimed.

"Never mind that, let's run!"

Seya crawled out of the carriage and saw two high-level magical beasts tearing at each other and attacking each other not far away.

One of their horses was already dead, its belly pierced by a tree branch. The other had a broken leg, the bone protruding, and was neighing in pain; it wouldn't live much longer either.

It's over.

At this moment, only one thought occupied Seya's mind.

"hurry up."

Lei urged.

"They're here."

Seyah followed closely behind Lai.

Now, neither the horses nor the carriages matter; what matters is how they escape from the clutches of the two high-level magical beasts.

"Aww!"

The white monster roared.

A flash of blue light appeared, and a bone-chilling cold spread from behind the two of them.

"Ray is a magical beast with ice magic. We need to run, or we're doomed."

Upon hearing the beast's roar, Tata was not nervous; instead, she became more excited than ever before.

It's my father! It's my father!

Laiyi could only feel the little monster moving restlessly in his arms, making little howling noises.

"Are you injured?"

"Aww..."

"No, the beast isn't hurt! It's Father! Father has come! The beast is going to find him!"

"Is the white monster your father?"

As Ray ran, he asked Tata, but his adrenaline gradually wore off. Ray felt pain, and a metallic taste of blood welled up in his mouth, which he swallowed back down.

"He is the father of the beast!"

Tata was both happy and proud.

His father did not give up looking for him and even stepped forward to save them in a moment of crisis. He is an incredibly good beast!

"Tata, he's currently fighting a powerful magical beast to protect us. What if he gets caught in the fight?"

"You have to run far, far away."

The little monster finally stopped struggling and quieted down.

Why go so far?

Lei was already panting heavily.

"Because if they are too weak, they will distract the adults, make them fight poorly, or even get injured."

"So what should we do now?"

"Stay away from them and protect yourself. Ray, put the beast down. It's too heavy, and Ray is injured and tired. The beast won't run away."

"good."

Tata is a very well-behaved child, and Ray believes him.

He paused briefly to put down Tata, then continued running forward. The little monster was faster than him, closely following Seya, who was running in the lead.

Bang!

Bang!

The commotion behind them grew louder, but they couldn't stop and turn around to see what was happening.

The farther away you are, the safer you are.
