Chapter 086 Ancient Battlefield Relics
Dore was furious again.
Although it was only a fourth-level demon bird, it had an extraordinary aura. It grabbed Shu Li's small cloak with its beak and threw it onto its back, ready to escape at any time.
"Oh, Dore, wait a minute—"
Shu Li fell into the soft feathers, struggled to climb out, spread her wings and flew over Duo Lei's head.
"Let me say hello to it first..."
High-level monsters have high IQs, understand Elvish and can communicate, such as Mr. Orochi.
When he first met Mr. Big Snake, he was scared half to death by its ferocious appearance. Later, he mustered up the courage to talk to it. Not only was he not attacked, but he also got help.
Looking fierce doesn't mean being bad.
——The higher the level of the monster, the more terrifying its appearance.
"Gu~" Duo Lei trusted Shu Li, retracted his inflated feathers, and stared at the ugly monster that was getting closer and closer to them with his sharp bird eyes.
When the giant lizard saw the Seken bird, its cold pupils straightened into a line, showing the excitement of encountering prey.
However, when it noticed a winged goblin flying above the Secken bird, it hesitated and slowed down.
Shu Li flew forward half a meter, gracefully performed a greeting, and calmly spoke in standard Elvish, "Hello, I'm Sperian from the Fairy Forest. This is my companion, Dore, who's currently visiting the Crystal Castle."
After introducing themselves and mentioning the Crystal Castle of the Elf Kingdom, I believe no monster would dare to touch them.
Sure enough, the giant lizard stopped four or five meters away from them, and its fierce eyes subsided a little.
"Sperian of the Fairy Forest, I'm Althorp, nice to meet you."
A cold and beautiful female voice sounded.
I never expected that this...mighty-looking giant lizard was actually a female magical beast.
If it responds, it means it is willing to communicate.
"Nice to meet you." Shu Li communicated with it in a familiar manner. "I'm sorry to intrude on your territory. Please forgive my intrusion."
The giant lizard shifted its gaze away from Dore, a hint of regret showing on its ferocious face.
The Sekhen bird tastes good, and it is a newly-adult fourth-level demon bird, so its meat must be very tender.
Since he is the little goblin's companion, it would be difficult to eat him.
Althorp is a magical beast that has lived in the Elf Kingdom for nearly a thousand years and knows clearly what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten.
"Sperion of the Fairy Forest, why have you come to this barren place alone?"
Shu Li said calmly, "I'm here to find the Wood Spirit."
"Wood spirit?" The giant lizard was stunned, obviously not expecting the little elf's answer to be so bizarre.
"Yes." Shu Li nodded. "At noon, I read a book called 'Clash of the Titans'. It described that ten thousand years ago, the Wood Spirit and the noble Elf King fought a great battle with the God of Death here. So I thought of coming here to explore the ancient battlefield ruins."
The giant lizard tilted its bumpy head and looked the goblin up and down with its bulging eyes.
Shu Li held his head high and chest out, looking straight ahead, and let it look at him generously.
Looking at the serious expression of the little goblin and confirming that he was not joking, the giant lizard raised its forelimbs and its height suddenly increased by five or six meters. Frightened, Duo Lei shook his feathers and grabbed Shu Li's small cloak with his red beak again.
The giant lizard ignored the Sek'en bird's warning and pointed in a direction with its sturdy forelimbs. "If you don't mind, I can take you to the battlefield ruins center."
Shu Li was surprised: "Really? Thank you so much!"
The giant lizard lowered its front legs and crawled back to the ground. "But I must warn you, there's no trace of any wood spirits there."
"It doesn't matter!" Shu Li said happily with a grin, "I just want to try my luck there."
Even the Elf King hadn't seen an elemental elf for ten thousand years. How could a ten-year-old elf like him find it as soon as he arrived?
The main purpose of coming here is to look for clues.
"Then... please follow me." The giant lizard turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Ah, please wait a moment." Shu Li called out to Dore, "You go back first, I can go with Althorp by myself."
"Chirp!" Duo Lei made a short sound. How could it possibly let the little elf go with a strange high-level monster?
Shu Li patted its red beak. "I haven't reported to the king yet when I left. You're a fast flyer, so tell the king for me, okay?"
Duo Lei is a highly intelligent demon bird, and he knew what Shu Li meant as soon as he heard his words.
After chirping a few times, it spread its wings and flew into the sky reluctantly.
Shu Li watched it go away and then followed the giant lizard.
Although the giant lizard had no ill intentions towards him, he always had to be careful when he went out.
He sent Dore away in order to tell the giant lizard in disguise that he had the support of the Elf King, and if anyone wanted to harm him, he should first consider his own strength.
Moreover, the Sekhen bird is known as the swift wind and is an excellent bird for reporting news. If he does not return for a long time, the Elf King will definitely come here to look for him.
I don’t know if the giant lizard heard his hidden meaning, but it behaved well along the way, taking Shu Li for more than 20 minutes to reach a basin.
Standing on the edge of the basin, it pointed to the charred earth below and said, "This is the center of the ancient battlefield."
Shu Li covered his nose and looked at the basin in surprise.
It stinks!
The air was filled with a strong corrosive odor, and a few breaths would make one dizzy.
He hurriedly rummaged through his storage ring and took out a small handkerchief, which he made into a simple mask to cover his nose and mouth.
The stench has faded a little, and I can barely breathe.
The giant lizard seemed accustomed to the stench and was unfazed.
"Thank you, Althorp." Shu Li's voice was a little muffled. To express his gratitude, he took out a seed from his storage ring and gave it to the giant lizard.
"What is this?" The giant lizard stared at a small red crystal in the little fairy's palm, its eyes almost becoming cross-eyed.
"Red crystal flower seeds." Shu Li smiled. "This is a thank you gift."
As a high-level magical beast that has lived for thousands of years and has seen a lot, the giant lizard is very familiar with the red crystal flower that can increase the level of magic power.
"Are you sure you want to send me?" the giant lizard asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Shu Li nodded.
The giant lizard raised its pupils, lowered its bumpy head, stuck out its tongue, and instantly swept away the small crystal stone in Shu Li's palm.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Just by leading the way, you can get a precious seed. It seems too easy.
Shu Li shook his head: "No."
The giant lizard was silent for a moment, then spat out a round piece of metal from the space capsule in its mouth. "This is a badge I found around here when I was a kid. It might be useful to you."
Shu Li was surprised and flapped his wings lightly, approaching the object that had fallen on the yellow sand. It was black and its original appearance could not be seen. It looked more like a lump of burnt iron.
However, since the giant lizard said it was a badge, it should be a badge.
"Thank you." Shu Li stepped on the yellow sand on tiptoe, trying to lift the lump of iron.
Well--
Can’t move?
He glanced awkwardly at the giant lizard and tried again.
Good job!
It was of average size but quite dense, yet despite his strength, it didn't move at all.
I originally wanted to see what pattern there was on the back of it, but I couldn't move it, so I had to give up.
Shu Li put the iron lump into the storage ring and expressed his gratitude to the giant lizard again.
Before leaving, the giant lizard warned him that he must leave before dark, otherwise he would be in danger. This basin, as a battlefield relic, once buried many wronged souls that could not be purified, and they would wander out every night.
Shu Li was horrified when he heard this.
There is such a terrifying place in the Elf Kingdom.
Can’t even the Elf King purify it?
"Okay... I'll be careful." Shu Li nodded solemnly.
The giant lizard walked away with heavy steps.
After Shu Li watched it leave, he faced the basin filled with a foul smell alone.
The basin is not large, with a diameter of about two hundred meters and a depth of more than thirty meters. To be precise, it looks like a huge crater created by a meteorite.
There was nothing inside, not even a stone.
Shu Li flew into the air, pondered for a moment, took out his magic wand, and silently recited the purification spell.
"Great God of Light, Lyant Freys, I beg you to command the elements of light to gather around me and bring me the power of light to purify filth, expel darkness, and fight against evil—"
The sunstone on the top of the magic wand burst into a dazzling light, and light elements rushed in from all directions, gathering into a ball of light. He waved the magic wand handsomely, and the ball of light shot towards the center of the basin like lightning.
“Zizi—”
The football-sized ball of light seemed to be swallowed by something and disappeared without a trace.
Shu Li was stunned.
When purifying the mother tree, he tried to control the size and power of the light ball as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the dark elves.
At this moment, he had nothing to worry about, so he tried his best to release the intermediate purification technique. He never expected that the light ball would fall into the basin silently like a stone sinking into the sea.
It's a bit weird!
No wonder even the Elf King was powerless.
Shu Li puffed out his cheeks, took out his notebook, turned to the page where the spell was recorded, and decided to recite the spell first without thinking.
I was full of hope before coming here, but after seeing the barren land, I no longer have any hope.
After memorizing the lengthy spell, he put away his notebook, raised his magic wand, closed his eyes slightly, and performed it twice in his mind, chanting in a rhythmic manner: "O ancient wood spirit, you once helped the mother goddess Isif to create the world and brought prosperity to the continent of Austin. You are the greatest elemental essence! I am Sperian of the Fairy Forest. Please listen to my prayer and grant me the powerful power of the wood spirit—"
silence--
Shu Li opened his eyes, looked ahead, and sighed softly.
It’s not that simple after all.
He put down his magic wand, looked up at the setting sun, and decided to go back.
As a good child, you should listen to the advice of the elderly.
You must leave before dark.
Just as he turned around, he suddenly felt the finger wearing the storage ring getting hot.
What's going on?
Shu Li was startled and quickly looked for the cause. It was the iron lump he had just stored in his storage ring that was causing the trouble. Without hesitation, he threw the iron lump out.
The lump of iron was no longer a lump of iron, but turned into a piece of burning red charcoal. After landing on the ground, it rolled several times and rolled into the basin amid Shu Li's exclamations.
"ah--"
Shu Li stretched out Erkang's hand, hesitating whether to chase him.
After all, it was a return gift from a high-level magical beast.
But it rolled so fast that it rolled to the bottom of the basin in just a few breaths.
Shu Li flew forward half a meter and quickly retreated.
It stinks!
The closer you get to the basin, the worse the air pollution becomes.
It’s not that he didn’t want to take the iron lump back, it’s just that the smell ahead was so terrible that his small body couldn’t withstand it.
Looking at the badge that rolled to the bottom of the basin with regret, Shu Li clenched his magic wand and decided to use earth magic to "transport" it back.
However, before he could start chanting the spell, a cloud of black smoke rose from the bottom of the basin and spread at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it spread to all directions. Shu Li had no time to escape and was enveloped by the black smoke.
The flaming emblem shed its black exterior, revealing an exquisite totem that glowed with green light.
Shu Li thought quickly and immediately chanted a wind spell, releasing a tornado in an attempt to blow away the black smoke.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened. The black smoke did not blow away, but he was sucked into a black hole by a force.
"Wow--"
Shu Li was dizzy, and the handkerchief covering her mouth and nose fell and broke into pieces.
He didn't know how long it had been, but when he regained consciousness, the place was filled with the deafening roars of wild beasts.
Shu Li suddenly opened his eyes, and when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his pupils dilated involuntarily.
Hundreds of giant dragons of various colors are flying in the sky, and on the back of each dragon stand dozens of elves and fairies in gorgeous clothes. They are brave and good at fighting. Some hold magic wands high and recite advanced spells frantically, some hold golden bows and shoot thousands of arrows, and some directly carry long swords and charge into battle.
Their opponents are high-level magical beasts contaminated by death energy, necromancers in black robes, black knights riding warhorses, and the god of death floating behind them with a soul-catching scythe in his hand.
The two powerful teams engaged in a fierce battle, and every encounter brought devastating damage to the green land.
Shu Li appeared in a very awkward place, right in the center of the battle between the two armies.
When a ball of fire hit him, he was so scared that he almost thought he was going to die. The fireball went through his body and blew away the necromancer of the dark camp.
Shu Li covered his pounding heart, feeling relieved that he had survived the disaster.
If he guessed correctly, the scene unfolding before his eyes was the war of gods ten thousand years ago!
Shu Li was surprised, opened his eyes wide and searched quickly.
After a while, he found an exceptionally large silver dragon among the other dragons. On the back of the silver dragon stood a blond elf wearing a purple robe and a silver crown.
It’s the Elf King!
Shu Li flapped his wings, flew through the heavy magical attacks, and flew towards the silver dragon.
As he got closer, he slowed down and turned his head to look at a green shadow floating beside the silver dragon.
Willow-like slender hair, a dress made of large leaves, a cloud of mist underfoot, a thorny vine in hand—
She is a wood elf!
