Chapter 770 An Arrow

Upon hearing the warning from the forest, the faces of the reconnaissance team members changed.

The arrow that broke through the air was extremely swift. It was not difficult to see that the other party's technology in making bows and arrows was definitely not inferior to theirs.

Under this premise, the opponent was holding bows and arrows and hiding in the lush forest, while they were completely exposed to the opponent's field of vision and even within the attack range. They were simply living targets. If they approached rashly, it would be really dangerous.

Thinking of this, out of caution, the reconnaissance team chose to retreat for the time being and reported the matter to Li Ce in a timely manner.

Xie Liancheng, who was the deputy general at the time, happened to be there. After hearing the news, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is there anything else? Give me a team of soldiers and I'll go meet them!"

When I followed Yan Sheng a few years ago, although most of that ruffian look was pretended, it became a habit after being pretended for a long time, and it is really hard to change it now.

Hearing this, Li Ce rolled his eyes in his heart.

[Are you going there to meet them? You are going there to have fun! ]

The thought flashed through his mind, and Li Ce did not rush to speak, but waved to the soldier who came back to report.

The soldier immediately understood and handed the arrow in his hand to Li Ce.

After taking the arrow, Li Ce looked it up and down, and then the look of surprise on his face became even more intense.

Rather than saying it is an arrow, it would be more accurate to say it is a branch that looks like an arrow.

The arrow head part looks like the core of some fruit, but it also looks a bit like a brown flower bud, and it is integrated with the whole arrow, which is very abnormal.

Li Ce tried to touch the tip and then pinched the main part hard.

He could feel that the arrowhead was quite sharp. With a little force, it could break his flesh and make him bleed. At the same time, it was very hard. He tried his best but was unable to crush it.

In addition to this, the arrow fletching part is not made of feathers, but fresh green leaves. What's even more outrageous is that those leaves are not fixed on, but grow directly on the arrow shaft.

In Li Ce's opinion, this arrow was too 'fresh' and was totally off the mark!

If his arrow shaft was not really straight and the arrowhead was not obviously not naturally formed, he would have suspected that the other party had just broken off a branch and used it as an arrow.

"This matter is not simple. Let's report the situation to His Majesty first."

As an old man who came from the tribal era, Li Ce smelled an unusual smell from the arrow, which made it difficult for him to make a judgment.

Carrying the arrow and the report written by Li Ce, the messenger rushed all the way to Black Stone City and presented the arrow and the report to Zhou Xu.

Picking up the arrow, Zhou Xu's face was full of surprise.

Many days have passed since the arrow was sent from the front-line team to Li Ce, and then from Li Ce to him, but the leaves on this arrow are still emerald green.

Even holding this arrow, Zhou Xu could feel the vitality on it.

Combined with the information provided in the report.

The arrows shot by the enemy were extremely fast and accurately hit in front of the soldiers.

This allowed him to basically draw a conclusion, that is, the people living in the forest in that basin were definitely not an ordinary primitive tribe.

"Silk..."

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu was about to ask Silk to get ready and go to Green Forest City to find out what was going on, but he saw Silk standing next to him, staring at the arrow in his hand in a daze.

"Silk?"

It was not until Zhou Xu raised his voice by several decibels and called his name again that Silk suddenly came back to his senses.

"What's wrong? Do you have any idea about this arrow?"

After hearing this, Silk hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly...

"I don't know about this arrow, but I feel that there is a trace of life energy contained in it."

“Life energy…”

This is an unfamiliar word to Zhou Xu.

But Silk's words also made Zhou Xu start to concentrate and sense the arrow.

Over the years, as the power of mantra in his body continued to grow, his spiritual attributes had also risen to the four-star level.

But even so, he couldn't sense the energy in nature as easily as Silk and other extraordinary beings.

If he wanted to do this, he had to concentrate his mind and enter a meditative state.

In this state, he felt that there was a special energy attached to the arrow. This energy was different from the elemental energy and mantra power he had felt before.

Zhou Xu didn't know how to describe it for a moment. People who haven't experienced it exactly may not be able to understand it at all. This is a kind of energy full of vitality.

Just like what Silk said before, 'life energy' might be the most appropriate term! "What is the origin of this life energy?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Life energy is a very special type of energy in nature. It is different from elemental energy and only a very small number of races can possess it."

As he spoke, he hesitated again, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"In the old civilization, some of our elves were able to use life energy."

At this point, Silk changed the subject.

"But I just heard about it from an elder in the tribe, so I'm not sure."

Silk's words suddenly aroused Zhou Xu's interest.

"The elves?"

You know, the elves are the race he most wants to expand their population at this stage.

But the population of the grassland elves headed by Silk is too small, and the elves have a long growth cycle and low reproduction efficiency.

This made Zhou Xu basically give up hope that they would be able to expand the size of their population to a considerable extent through reproduction.

Under this premise, the best way is to incorporate other existing elven groups.

However, Zhou Xu, who was well aware of the strength of the elves, was clear about it.

As extraordinary life forms and darlings of nature, even if the elves have been in a bad state since birth, their strength should not be underestimated.

If they take tough measures when facing the elves, it may have the opposite effect, and may even cause a rift between them and the grassland elves led by Silk.

If that happens, the result will be more trouble than gain.

Considering this, Zhou Xu's gaze once again fell on Silk, whose expression was slightly complicated.

"Silk, if the people living in that forest in the basin are really elves, what do you think?"

When Silk heard this question, his expression changed significantly.

Apparently, Silk had already started thinking about this problem when he was standing on the side just now.

After hesitating for a while, Silk slowly spoke...
