"Preparations for the Elf Festival have already begun. I briefly used my spatial abilities to teleport there and observed for a while. They have gathered 100,000 humans and stored them in a mysterious bead that can store and refine their essence blood. Once the time is up, the 100,000 humans inside will instantly turn into a river of blood."
When Jun Chenlan said these words, everyone's expression turned grim.
The sight of 100,000 humans flowing into a river of blood in an instant is truly magnificent; just imagining it is enough to know how grand it must have been. It must have been a bloody feast, and a scene that one would never forget.
Even Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan, who had been on human battlefields for a long time, had never seen 100,000 people turn into blood in an instant.
War inevitably results in death, but deaths on the battlefield cannot be simply called deaths; more often, people would call them sacrifices.
But if, like these 100,000 people, there may be good people and bad people among them, it would be a waste of 100,000 lives to let them die innocently in order to revive the Tree of Life for the Elven race.
This kind of death sounds meaningful, but it is actually the most tragic.
One's own meaning is defined by others.
Quan Ji took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "There will definitely be a fierce battle tonight, so everyone must be on your guard."
The group, who hadn't slept all night, were now fully awake.
In fact, for people with superpowers like them, their mental strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. Not to mention staying up all night, even going for ten days and ten nights is no problem for them.
Everyone was already prepared: "We will definitely go all out in this fierce battle."
After all, all that preparation was for this war.
A war that will determine the victor.
Quan Ji's gaze fell on Sophia beside her: "Could you draw us a map of the region where the Elf Festival is held?"
Sofia: "I was prepared."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of parchment, on which various reference points were marked, making it an extremely detailed map.
One of them is an underground prison where countless wicked beings are imprisoned; the original 100,000 humans were imprisoned here.
If it weren't for the mysterious bead that captured all 100,000 people, they would have definitely gone into this underground prison to rescue them.
However, everyone had already given up on this idea by then.
But Quan Ji still stroked her chin and asked Sophia, "What kind of creatures live in this underground prison? How many are there?"
Sophia said, "This place is where all living beings who violate the laws of the forest are imprisoned. There are actually many. Some ancient beings were captured by the Elf Kings of past generations and turned into skeletons inside. There are also some powerful beings that cannot be broken due to the restrictions. As for the number... I don't know the details, but I can say that there are quite a few."
Because the laws of the forest are very strict, the elves will not let any creature that violates the laws of the elves go unpunished.
Because the Elven race has always maintained a belief in the laws of the forest, only when all living beings abide by the laws of the forest can the forest remain eternal.
Sophia used to firmly believe in the law of the jungle, but now—he also feels that the law of the jungle is too oppressive.
Every individual and every species in the forest should be free.
A forest may remain green if restricted by rules and regulations, but it will never remain vibrant.
Upon hearing Sophia's words, Quan Ji said, "You elves are quite familiar with this underground prison. When the time comes... bring a group of people and you can break into the prison."
Sophia was bewildered: "Breakout? Haven't all the humans already been released...?"
Quan Ji said, "But it is undeniable that the Elf race now has far more people than us, and there are strong people of all levels. We cannot be in a situation where one fights against many. The only way is to release all the prisoners in the underground prison who hate the Elf race and cause a great disturbance."
Everyone suddenly realized that what he said made sense.
But Sofia still had some concerns: "What should we do if they don't listen?"
Quan Ji said, "Everyone has a different definition of hatred. Some people will take revenge, while others will repay evil with kindness. If some weak creatures have no intention of revenge, then let them go. There is no need to make them sacrifice themselves in vain to make up the numbers. But powerful creatures... we have to find ways to trick them into coming here."
Sofia was puzzled: "A lie? Like..."
Quan Ji: "For example, the elves would destroy the entire forest."
At that moment, everyone fell silent.
This isn't really a lie, because that's exactly what the elves did.
They simply believed they were redeeming the forest.
Quan Ji said, "Every living being has a certain sense of territory to some extent. The forest is their home where they grow up and depend on for survival. The powerful forest will not allow the elves to so wantonly dominate it."
Just like.
If the Holy Empire sends a signal of crisis, Quan Ji will rush back without hesitation to protect her people and her homeland.
