The holy monsters made a bet in private to see who could deal with the troubles that broke in.

According to the monsters' observations, those guys were more dangerous than each other. The only one who looked harmless should be Cheng Jiujiu.

In order to teach them a lesson, the monsters set their sights on Cheng Jiujiu.

So, after being a spectator for a long time, Cheng Jiujiu felt that she was being stared at by something. She always felt that someone was staring at her.

But there were no monsters within a few hundred meters nearby, and most of them had gone into their stomachs.

Cheng Jiujiu wanted to look carefully, but couldn't find it. He wanted to ask Hua Ziyue if there were any plant-based monsters, but he was worried that his disguise would fall off. Moreover, according to Hua Ziyue's heartless appearance, there shouldn't be anything dangerous.

But the feeling of being stared at was very strange.

After a safe journey, everyone arrived at the canyon.

The so-called canyon, as the name suggests.

In fact, the terrain of this place is very simple, with two hillsides in front of him, and yellow rocks exposed on the steep hillsides. The rocks were covered with ice and snow, steep and rugged. There was a gap between the two hillsides, and this gap was the "canyon" mentioned on the map.

Normally, all canyons look like this, and the canyon here looks like this too.

But!

What makes this canyon different from other places is that at the entrance of this canyon, there are two statues standing, as if intentionally. The weird thing is that this is clearly a naturally formed canyon, but the statues are lifelike and look very weird.

Cheng Jiu reached out and touched it curiously, and found that the statue looked like a real person, and it looked vivid. Looking

closely, you can see that this stone sculpture is very delicate, and the carving skills can be called master level. The one on the left is a human adventurer, wearing flowing but unusually docile clothes, and even the fibers on it are clearly visible. The long sword in his hand seemed to be still swinging, and the expression on his face was angry and terrified, which was extremely realistic.

The man on the right was running, and even his beard was lifelike, each of which was flying in the wind.

This is too real, right?

When Cheng Jiu was admiring the exquisite carving technology of this era, Lan Baicha's expression suddenly changed, "This... doesn't seem to be a stone statue! It's not carved, it's real, it's petrified."

"Medusa?" The Piranha plant also changed its face, and she remembered the legend within the legend. Although she knew little about the outside world, she also knew the legend about elves.

Logically speaking, she was actually a person who lived in the same era as the elves. Originally, she was thinking that she would go and see the race that was said to be the most beautiful on the continent.

"No way!" Helian Feng learned a lot about the history before the Chaos War at the Helian family, so he also knew some legendary stories. The elves are a mysterious race that transcends all the families on the continent. They have longer lifespans than ordinary people, with an average of three or four hundred years old. The lifespan of those powerful elves can reach a thousand years.

However, the battlefield of the Chaos War was in the Elf Forest.

The entire Elf Forest was destroyed in that war.

It is said that a long, long time ago, there was no endless sea here, but only an endless lake. Because of the Chaos War, the entire Elf Forest sank to the bottom of the water.

At the beginning, people all over the continent did not believe that the elves were killed or injured. Countless people embarked on a journey to find elves, but no one has ever found the existence of elves.

Many people even found some remains left over from the battlefield at the bottom of the Endless Sea. Those remains were formed by Medusa's petrification skill.

Queen Medusa is a guardian beast living in the Elf Forest. It is responsible for isolating the connection between the Elf Forest and the outside world. Countless people who want to step into the Elf Forest will be cursed by Queen Medusa.

The appearance of this stone sculpture here proves that this is really the last relic of the Elf Forest. It can even be said that Queen Medusa still exists here.

If there is Queen Medusa, then this place is simply too dangerous, because it is a natural beast.

It appears in human form, and ignores defense and level. As long as you see Queen Medusa's eyes, you will be petrified by Queen Medusa.

In addition to her eyes, each strand of Queen Medusa's hair can turn into a small snake, and each snake has the same power as her.

During the Chaos War, Queen Medusa's long hair turned into thousands of snakes, petrifying countless people who entered the Elf Forest. But unfortunately, there were too many enemies here.

Queen Medusa couldn't fight a hundred alone. Just when Queen Medusa was about to be defeated, the elves appeared and fought with Queen Medusa, and the world-destroying war began.

There are still many murals in ancient big families that have pictures of the world-destroying war, and the first picture of the picture is Queen Medusa.

A group of people were sharing everything they knew here. If they were still doing whatever they wanted before, they became alert after encountering the current situation.

Because, in the legend, Queen Medusa was really too cruel and terrible. If they were to face Queen Medusa who guarded the fountain of life, then the next journey would definitely not be easy.

When Cheng Jiujiu touched the stone sculpture, he heard their conversation. Then, Cheng Jiujiu's fingers paused.

It seems that the legend of Queen Medusa has different versions in every world. Here there are elves and Queen Medusa, so the next one to appear, is it the legendary tree man? Thinking

of this, Cheng Jiujiu directed his sights at the big tree nearby.

Because Cheng Qijiu turned his head suddenly, the dry old face on a big tree didn't have time to retract, and it looked Cheng Qijiu in the eye.

What the hell?

Is there really a tree man?

Cheng Qijiu was shocked, and the tree man was also shocked! It was only responsible for monitoring Cheng Qijiu and his group, and then when Cheng Qijiu was alone, it would capture Cheng Qijiu and send him to the king deep in the Elf Forest.

The man and the tree looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

When their eyes met, Cheng Qijiu shook his head at the tree man, and then the silly tree man blinked. Then, the man and the tree went about their own business as if nothing had happened. They cooperated very well and had a tacit understanding.

Although Cheng Qijiu is not familiar with everything in this world, she has read various online articles and understands the relationship between the Fountain of Life, elves and Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa relied on the Fountain of Life to become a divine beast, and the elves were immortal because of the Fountain of Life. As for the tree people, they were all intelligent because of the Fountain of Life. Queen Medusa

was cruel, and the elves loved peace. The selfish Queen Medusa could only live in peace with the elves, who symbolized peace. Queen Medusa's temperament also allowed her to protect this kind and peaceful race in another way. As for the tree people, most of them were watered by the elves, because the elves were naturally sensitive to plants.

However, only trees can work with the Fountain of Life.

Elves live in tree houses in nature. Those tree houses are magnificent in the records and provide shelter for the elves. The elves, on the other hand, were pruning the branches of the big trees. And, they would not harm the safety of the trees.

Originally, Cheng Qijiu thought that the settings of each world were different, but through what she just learned, Cheng Qijiu felt

that it was actually similar to what she knew. Even through her brief and pleasant communication with the tree man just now, Cheng Qijiu had to say that the intelligence of the tree man was really not high. In addition, Cheng Qijiu now knew what kind of existence was staring at her all the way.

While those people were studying how to resist Queen Medusa, Cheng Qijiu found a time and deliberately slipped out to collect herbs. But in fact, Cheng Qijiu went to find the tree man.

Originally, Cheng Jiujiu couldn't quite distinguish the connection between the tree man and an ordinary tree, but as she approached, the roots of a tree pulled out from the ground, showing a tendency to run away.

Cheng Jiujiu was quick-witted and stepped on it directly, and climbed onto the trunk.

Then, the ordinary-looking tree showed an expression as if it was wearing a mask of pain. Yes, it was this tree!

"Tree man?" Sitting on the trunk of the tree, Cheng Jiujiu tilted her head to look at the wrinkled old face of the tree.

"I'm not me, I'm not, I'm just an ordinary tree!" Hearing this, the tree shook so much that the leaves on its head fell off.

"If you move again, not only will I find out that you are a tree man, but others will also see you." Cheng Jiujiu kindly reminded, and the big tree stopped moving instantly.

Not bad, not bad, worthy of being a wooden man. Although he has a wooden head, he also knows the importance of things. Finding that the tree man seemed to be no threat, Cheng Jiujiu began to chat with the tree man.

Cheng Jiujiu wanted to get the settings of the elves, Queen Medusa and the tree man in this world from the tree man, but unfortunately, Cheng Jiujiu still overestimated this big tree. It should be a big tree that has only recently gained intelligence and knows nothing about those histories.

Cheng Jiujiu's curiosity was not answered at all.

So, she chose to ask questions in a different way. If she couldn't understand the distant questions, she would ask the near ones, such as, "Why are you always staring at me recently?"

"The king's order." The tree man blurted out, and then his old face was full of regret.

"Medusa?"

"No, Queen Medusa hasn't appeared here for many years."

"Who is that?"

"Yes... I can't say, I really can't say. If I say it, the king will chop me down for firewood. The king has been too cruel recently. If I say it, I will end up like other disobedient monsters, being roasted by fire." As if thinking of something terrible, the tree man trembled and dropped leaves all over the ground.

"Is the king a human? Or are there really elves here?"
