Chapter 290 The Dark Elves’ Thoughts
After finishing our meal and restoring our strength, we were about to break camp and leave when three adventure teams arrived.
The three adventure teams were not large in number, with seven or eight members in each team. Humans accounted for a small proportion, and most of them were dwarves and orcs.
The deep snow was not friendly to the dwarves. Every time they stepped on it, their bodies sank and they were almost drowned. They could only rely on the tall and strong orcs to help "pull" them out.
No wonder these three adventure teams were left behind by the group of a hundred. With dwarf teammates, they couldn't go any faster.
However, they were very strong and walked for such a long time without their faces getting red or them getting out of breath.
So, when the group of a hundred people was about to leave, the three adventure teams did not stop, but followed them.
They had to keep up with the main force, otherwise they would not be able to survive the night safely.
With over 150 people moving through the snowy mountains and forests, Team Light looked out of place.
The other adventurers were either burly or hulking, even the dwarves were strong and muscular. In contrast, Guan Zhi's group, with the exception of one dark elf, were all humans, all of them delicate and thin, with two slender girls among them.
The aura they exuded was so pure that they didn't look like adventurers at all. Instead, they looked like noble young masters and young ladies on a trip.
However, what surprised the other adventurers was that this group of young adventurers were agile and quick, and they climbed the snow-capped mountain with ease.
If they didn't need a hundred-man group to lead the charge, their speed would probably be even faster.
Shu Li tried his best to ignore the gazes falling on him, spreading his perception to be alert to the surroundings and ensure the safety of his teammates.
Now we have entered deep into the snow-capped mountains and may encounter danger at any time. In addition to the hunting group, there are also magical beasts unique to the snow-capped mountains.
These monsters are all ice-attributed and are not afraid of the cold. They like to hide in snow piles and wait for prey to come to them.
The adventurers were like moving food, and they had a fatal attraction to the monsters. If they were not so numerous, the monsters they had encountered before would have pounced on them to hunt them.
Shu Li glanced at the dark elf in front of him.
No wonder he suggested that everyone follow the group of 100 people.
It's safe!
Climbing a mountain is a very boring thing, and climbing a snowy mountain is even more painful. Before we knew it, the sun had set and the temperature had dropped sharply. The adventurers finally stopped and prepared to camp.
The hundred-man group chose a valley as their campsite. As before, they cleared out flat ground and built a one-meter-high snow wall in a circle to protect their tents to the greatest extent possible.
The other adventure teams moved quickly and seized a good position near the group of a hundred people.
Team Light was not in a hurry. After they made their selection, they chose a relatively far location to facilitate entering and exiting the col.
There's no need to get too close. If an accident happens, it will be difficult to escape.
The fourteen people had clear division of labor: clearing the snow, building snow walls, collecting firewood, setting up tents, and getting ingredients to prepare dinner. Everything was done in an orderly manner and was ready quickly.
The aroma of food wafted through the camp. After a day's sleep, Farm jumped out of the Vulcan Seal, stood in front of the fire, yawned with his mouth wide open, and stretched his fat and short limbs.
Seeing its lazy look, Shu Li couldn't help but poke its belly.
Farm dodged nimbly and saw the barbecue on the fire. His eyes lit up and he pounced on it, not afraid of being burned by the flames at all.
Shu Li glared. "This is Sadler's barbecue!"
Farm took a bite and ate it with relish. He lifted his tail and pointed at Shu Li's storage bag, indicating that he should exchange other food for barbecue.
Shu Li really wanted to take it out and give it a beating, but it was fearless and squatted in the flames without coming out.
"I'm sorry." Shu Li apologized to Sadler.
"It's okay," Sadler said, "I've prepared a lot of barbecue."
Shu Li touched the storage bag and took out three fresh fruits like pears as an apology.
Sadler declined. "No, keep it for yourself."
Fruits are extremely precious in the Snow Country. Even adventurers only bring dried fruits and rarely fresh fruits.
"I have a lot more." Shu Li handed it to him and insisted that he take it.
Sadler hesitated, and Morrissey, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his hand, took the fruit, and said with a smile, "Thanks!"
Sadler stared at him coldly, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Morrissey seemed not to notice the reproach in his eyes. He placed two pieces of fruit in his hands, keeping one for himself. "It's rare to have fruit. Come and try it."
It was obvious that he was greedy and wanted to eat it.
Sadler sighed, picked up the fruit, took a bite, and his golden eyes widened slightly.
The taste of this fruit is so unique!
The flesh is delicate and juicy, sweet with a slight sourness, which greatly stimulates the taste buds and makes you unable to resist taking another bite.
What surprised Sadler the most was that after eating just two or three bites, he felt full of energy.
This is no ordinary fruit.
Morrissey held the half-eaten fruit in his hand, looking thoughtful.
He is a dark elf who has lived for more than two hundred years. His footprints can be found throughout the entire Austin continent, except for the Fairy Forest and the Elf Kingdom.
Fruit is the staple food of dark elves.
Wherever he went, he would eat all the fruits there.
However, the fruit in his hand was very strange and he had never seen it before, so he shamelessly helped Sadler take it and planned to taste it.
The dark elves had sensitive taste buds, and after just one bite, they knew that this was not a fruit that ordinary people could grow.
Neither can the dark elves.
Because the flesh contains rich power of light.
Morrissey was able to suppress the dark power in his body thanks to a certain potion.
Every dark elf will encounter a problem when they grow up, that is, they cannot control their temper. As their strength grows, their hostility also increases.
Morrissey doesn't like losing control, hates being a slave to darkness, and is always looking for ways to restrain himself.
By chance, he found the tribe's alchemy genius - Efit.
A low-key and silent dark elf who doesn't like to stand out and would rather guard the elven mother tree than take on heavy responsibilities.
Morrissey observed him for a long time and found that his hostility was very mild and never out of control.
What keeps him sane?
Morrissey quickly thought of the potion.
So, he pestered Efit for a month and tried every possible means to buy a potion that could suppress the power of darkness.
He didn't know the name or ingredients of the potion, he only knew that after drinking it, he was reborn.
Today, the fruit he ate actually had the same effect as that medicine.
Morrissey looked at the boy chatting with his friends, his blood-red eyes full of confusion.
Is he really an ordinary mountain dweller?
They are said to have come from the Cyces Mountains.
Because it is close to the Fairy Forest, it can grow strange fruits containing the power of light?
Morrissey finished eating the fruit, but still felt unsatisfied.
Sadler noticed that he was staring at Shu Li, frowned, and warned: "Don't set your sights on him."
Morrissey was stunned. "No... What are you thinking? How could I..."
Meeting White Magic's golden eyes, Morrissey changed the subject and revealed a sly smile. "Are you jealous?"
Sadler had a blank expression on his face as he put the remaining fruit into his storage bag.
Morrissey took advantage of the situation and put his arm around his shoulders, saying affectionately, "Don't worry, I only like you and will never change my mind."
Sadler's forehead vein popped out and he pushed him away without any hesitation.
Morrissey lost his balance and fell backwards, landing on his back.
"Hahaha--"
Seeing him fall, Desio laughed exaggeratedly.
The others laughed along.
Shu Li covered her mouth, her eyes darting back and forth between Sadler and Morrissey.
Although he was chatting with others just now, he was paying attention to them. The goblin had sharp hearing and naturally heard the dark elf's confession.
During the desert trip five years ago, Morrissey had been teasing Sadler from time to time, but Sadler's attitude towards him was completely rejected, and she even didn't believe his nonsense.
Five years later, Morrissey was still expressing his love in a nonchalant manner, and Sadler's disgust towards him disappeared. Instead, when he saw him fall, a hint of apology appeared on his face.
It must be said that Morrissey's persistence paid off to some extent.
As the saying goes, where there is sincerity, even metal and stone can be opened.
Sadler's heart, however hard it was, gradually melted.
Shu Li put down the hand that was covering his mouth and sighed secretly.
Will there be any good results if the dark elves and human magicians are together?
After all, human life is limited.
Unless Sadler breaks through to the level of God of Magic and extends his life indefinitely.
However, since the end of the War of the Gods, the human race has only one god of magic, Danlov.
He is gifted and has the guidance of the Elf King, so he has the opportunity to become a God of Magic.
Sadler wants to become the God of Law, but his hope is a little slim!
"What are you thinking about?"
Ace's soft voice rang in his ears.
Shu Li came back to his senses, turned his head and met a pair of gentle green eyes. His heart trembled, and he lowered his eyes and frowned to hide his fear.
"No...I didn't think anything."
He actually forgot that there was a human being who liked him.
This really bothered him.
If I refuse directly, I'm afraid he'll be sad. But if I don't refuse, I'm afraid he'll get deeper into trouble.
Ace turned his head to look at the dark elf who was getting up from the ground, smiled faintly and asked, "Are you worried about their future?"
"Uh..." Shu Li's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stuttered, "How...how did you know?"
"A feeling." Ace retracted his gaze and added dry wood to the fire. "Actually, you don't have to worry. If they had concerns, they wouldn't have gotten together."
Shu Li said embarrassedly, "But after all, we are of different races."
Ace stared at the increasingly blazing flames and whispered, "When true love strikes, race, lifespan, gender, and identity become irrelevant."
"But..." Shu Li said, holding her hot cheeks, "I always feel that it's too much of a loss to pursue temporary pleasure. If you want to love, you must love forever, until the end of time."
Ace turned his head and looked at him intently.
Shu Li felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She swallowed nervously and asked, "Did I...did I say something wrong?"
"No." Ace's green eyes twinkled with stars. "You are absolutely right. Only the long lasting is true."
Shu Li's breathing became a little disordered, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Let's take a break!"
Without waiting for Ace's response, he hurried into the tent.
Today, the Light Team set up five tents in total. The two girls, Siti and Nasha, stayed in one tent, and the remaining three boys stayed in one tent.
When allocating tents, Shu Li was a little selfish and arranged himself, Discio and Angel together.
Although I didn't have any strange dreams last night when I slept in the same bed with Ace in the hotel, what if I did tonight?
So it is safer to sleep separately.
Seeing Shu Li go into the tent to rest, the others got up and prepared to sleep. Angel mentioned the well-fed Farm and whispered a lot of words into its ear.
"Huh?" Farm stared.
Let it harass the mercenary group in the middle of the night?
"Do you want to do it?" Angel took out a one-foot-long fresh sea fish from his storage bag.
Farm's eyes lit up instantly, and he stretched out his fat and short claws to hug the sea fish.
"Where did it come from?" it asked.
"Amanda gave it to me." Angel asked again, "Why?"
"Fuck!" Farm opened his mouth wide and took a bite of the fish.
Isn't it just scaring a few humans? Easy!
