The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Everyone followed Alia deeper into the elf territory.

Along the way, the surrounding scenery became increasingly magical and beautiful. Tall trees blocked out the sun, and crystal-clear vines hung from their branches. When the wind blew, the branches made crisp, bell-like sounds.

Jiang Liujing observed his surroundings and sensed a power in those glowing plants that was different from that of ordinary plants.

They all seemed to be "alive", and when Jiang Liujing passed by them, he had the illusion that he was being watched by countless pairs of eyes.

Alia walked ahead of the group and introduced them, "These glowing plants belong to the Starfire Clan. They have unique perception and communication abilities, and usually relay messages to us. It was because they discovered you today that we were able to arrive here so quickly."

Jiang Liujing nodded, feeling a little emotional.

When most people think of mythical beasts, they first think of animal-type mythical beasts. They are indeed the most common and fiercest. Plant-type mythical beasts are much more ordinary in comparison, with no advantages other than longevity.

But after staying in the mountains for these days, Jiang Liujing discovered that the plant-type mythical beasts were truly terrifying when they took action.

Because they are easily overlooked, many people are not on guard against them, and even mistakenly approach them as treasures to be picked. The result is a field of bones with no flesh left.

The only one leading the way for them was Arya, the captain of the patrol team. The other elves continued their patrol mission under her instructions.

"Our residence is not far ahead," Arya said. "It just so happens that the Great Elder is here today. He should be happy to see you."

Jiang Liujing heard something different in her tone and stopped to ask, "Does this elder have a bad temper?"

Alia shook her head.

"The Great Elder has lived for over three thousand years, making him the longest-lived elf in the tribe. Very few things can anger him. But the Great Elder dislikes humans. If he treats you badly, I hope you won't mind too much. He's not targeting you."

Jiang Liujing had a brief understanding of the history of the elves, so he was not surprised to hear this.

The elves were hunted and persecuted, and their numbers were so reduced that they had no choice but to hide here. A series of actions were closely related to humans.

The Great Elder had witnessed this entire history, so it would be strange if he had a good attitude towards them. They had also made psychological preparations before coming.

But when they really arrived at the elves' residence and met the great elder, something unexpected happened.

The six people had just approached and had not yet stepped into the tree house where the elves lived when they heard a loud "bang" and the wooden door of the largest tree house in the center was suddenly opened.

Before he could look in the direction of the movement, Jiang Liujing felt a gust of wind passing by, causing his long hair to flutter suddenly.

The next moment, Mo Ya, who was standing behind him, suddenly let out a short and panic-stricken scream.

Jiang Liujing had never heard Mo Ya so panicked before, and a sense of foreboding suddenly emerged in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling sound rang out in the air—it was the horrifying sound produced when human skin and bones were torn and broken together!

The voice was crisp and clear, and even more merciless, with endless coldness, echoing in the surroundings for a long time.

Jiang Liujing turned around in shock and saw a large amount of blood rushing towards him, almost dyeing the entire world in front of him scarlet.

Whose blood is this?

Chi took a step forward and blocked him behind him. The roaring flames burned all the bright red blood, and he looked forward with cold eyes.

Not far away, on the ground, a tall figure without a head was slowly falling down.

Gurgle, gurgle, something hard rolled over and hit the surface of Jiang Liujing's shoes.

Jiang Liujing lowered his head and was faced with a face that was still open-eyed.

Tetch's face.

His eyes were wide open in fear, reminding Jiang Liujing of the dying fish they had eaten. The habitual smile on his lips had not yet fallen, but was now forever frozen on that pale face.

Several humans were so shocked by the sudden killing that they were speechless.

Jiang Liujing and Chi Ben were wary of Taiqi, and they didn't feel any special emotions when they saw him die except for being surprised.

But it’s different for Andwi and Vita, who spend more time with Teach and are more familiar with him.

For them, it was like their teammates who had been together for many days were suddenly killed in front of them, without any reason or warning.

It's like a person is walking on the road and suddenly a passerby pulls out a knife and kills him. It's completely unreasonable.

The two men's faces turned gloomy almost instantly, staring at an old man standing next to the fallen headless corpse, and the scimitar in his hand, which was shining coldly and had a thin layer of light red on the blade.

It was this scimitar that cut off Taichi's head in just a breath.

Taichi was already a leader in the Magic Warrior Academy, but he had no room to resist in front of this old man.

Both Andway and Vita knew that in the face of such a huge gap in strength, if they chose to fight, the outcome would be no different from that of Taichi on the ground.

But the two still summoned their weapons without hesitation.

It’s not that they have to avenge Taichi immediately, but both of them know that if the other party kills Taichi, will they let them go?

It's impossible even to think about.

They stared at the old man who stood there without moving after killing someone, only glancing at the people around him one by one, and rushed forward as soon as they got a chance.

Alia, who was standing nearby, was also stunned.

Not long ago, she was telling a few people that the Great Elder had a bad temper and asked them not to mind it. Now, the Great Elder showed up and directly chopped down a member of the other team. How could she explain this to Jiang Liujing?

This was the human who had saved her sister! Arya was so anxious that she wanted to cry. If she offended him, what would happen to Uriel, whose freedom was still in his hands?

She watched as the others prepared to attack. Her relaxed expression just now was now filled with wariness and distrust of the elves. Without caring about anything else, she gritted her teeth and rushed to the Great Elder, saying anxiously:

"Great Elder, these humans are not invaders. I brought them in. They have a token that allows them to enter the Elven Tribe!"

"I know." The hunched old man with pointed ears said slowly. His dry eyelids lifted, and his two ice-blue eyes stared at Jiang Liujing beside him.

When he saw that long black hair, a glimmer of nostalgia flashed across his eyes, and then was covered by more coldness.

His hoarse voice carried a sense of intimidation, as he spoke solemnly, "What are your intentions in bringing a living puppet into our tribe? The elves are a pure land, and we will never allow such evil creatures to enter."
