I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Just then, the wooden carving on the ground suddenly shattered with a crisp, unexpected sound. The sound was like a pebble breaking the surface of a calm lake, sounding particularly abrupt in the silent space. Immediately afterward, a dazzling beam of light burst forth from the crack in the wooden carving, growing stronger and stronger, as if it would fill the entire space.

Enveloped in that light, the Elf Dragon's form began to slowly transform. Its silhouette gradually grew from a small bird shape, eventually revealing a human form. Its body became increasingly slender and upright, its limbs growing stronger and more powerful. Its feathers, like the finest silk, shed one by one, replacing them with smooth, textured skin. Its face also underwent a wondrous transformation; its exquisite features seemed meticulously sculpted by a master sculptor, its eyes revealing an innate nobility and majesty. And its once star-like blue eyes now became deep silver eyes, their silver light like mysterious stars in the deep universe, cold yet full of power.

At this moment, the Elf King Dragon (in human form) resembled an elven prince straight out of mythology, its robes exquisitely beautiful. The robes were a deep, mysterious purple, embroidered with ancient and enigmatic runes and patterns in gold thread. These runes and patterns seemed to possess a life of their own, shimmering with a faint light. The collar and cuffs were trimmed with white fox fur, soft and fluffy, each hair radiating a soft silver glow, like twinkling stars in the night sky. A belt inlaid with various gemstones cinched its waist; each gemstone, multicolored and radiating a unique light, seemed to tell an ancient story.

It slowly raised its head, its silver eyes scanning the area before finally settling on Wang Xiaoyi. In that instant, a barely perceptible emotion flashed in its eyes—a complex mix of anger and concern. Then, it nodded slightly to Wang Xiaoyi. This seemingly simple nod seemed to contain profound meaning. Almost simultaneously, Wang Xiaoyi felt a mysterious and gentle power suddenly activated beneath his feet.

In an instant, a teleportation array radiating a soft light appeared as if emerging from the void, rapidly unfolding around Wang Xiaoyi. The light grew brighter and brighter, gradually enveloping Wang Xiaoyi's entire figure. He felt as if his body had become incredibly light, and everything around him blurred. Then, as if pulled by an invisible, gentle force, he vanished from his spot in an instant.

The next moment, Wang Xiaoyi appeared steadily behind the Elf King Dragon. His appearance was as natural as a leaf gently falling, attracting almost no attention. Then, the Elf King Dragon (in human form) slowly raised its hands and gently opened them. In the instant this action was completed, an incomparably magnificent and breathtaking image appeared behind it. It was an enormous Elf Tree, towering into the clouds, its trunk so thick that it would take dozens of people to encircle it. The trunk was covered with intricate yet beautiful patterns, these patterns seemed to be mysterious totems passed down from the ancient Elf race, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

The branches stretched out in all directions, each laden with emerald green leaves, shimmering like jade carvings, sparkling with life in the sunlight. The leaves rustled gently in the breeze, as if playing an ancient melody. Crystal fruits, shimmering with a mysterious light, hung from the branches, their glows intertwining like a dreamlike star array. The entire Elf Tree emanated a warm and powerful energy, flowing like a gentle stream or a surging river, spreading continuously in all directions. All the adventurers were enveloped in this green light, their wounds seemingly healed miraculously under its glow. Those who were originally severely injured seemed to have time reversed, their wounds healing at a visible speed. Take the aforementioned victims who were instantly killed, for example. Their bodies, which had been lifeless, were instantly infused with vitality under the green light, allowing them to stand up again as if nothing had happened. As for the severely injured President Winnie, her previously pale complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her injuries healed rapidly, like ice and snow melting away.

At that moment, seeing the situation was extremely unfavorable to him, the man in black darted around, and taking advantage of the instant everyone was captivated by the magical power of the Elf Tree, his body vanished as swiftly as a ghost. His figure blended into the surrounding shadows, and in the blink of an eye, he was far away from the Elf Tree's influence. It turned out that whenever he approached the Elf Tree, he felt as if his mind was sinking into a thick swamp, becoming muddy and sluggish, his movements becoming slow and powerless, like a mortal struggling in a quagmire.

The Elf Dragon King (in human form) stood calmly, as if it had anticipated the black-clad man's actions. With a slight lift of its right hand, the Elf Tree, as if receiving a command, rapidly extended countless thick branches. These branches, seemingly possessing their own life, swiftly stretched towards the location of the black-clad man.

Soon, the man in black was tightly bound by the dense branches, his body as if bound by countless ropes, unable to move. Seeing this, the man in black's face showed a mixture of fear and anger. He began to struggle desperately, his muscles bulging like a python about to erupt. He twisted and turned frantically, trying to break free from the branches' restraints.

But the more he struggled, the tighter the branches entangled him. Finding himself unable to break free, tears of blood streamed from his eyes. Several black flames erupted on the branches, which, unable to withstand the spreading fire, were quickly severed from the tree by the spirit tree, burning them to ashes. Even as the black flames fell to the ground, they continued to burn. Wang Xiaoyi stared at the ground in astonishment. Wasn't that Amaterasu? This was the ninja class that Alpha had longed for—terrifying indeed.

The Elf Dragon King (in human form) showed no worry upon seeing the man in black break free from the branches' restraints. Like a seasoned general, it remained calm and composed in the face of this minor turn of events. It simply turned its head slightly and nodded in the direction of Wang Xiaoyi. For a fleeting moment, a barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in its eyes.

Then, the Elf King Dragon (in human form) spoke in a seemingly gentle yet powerful voice: "You should all step aside and not approach the center, but you must not leave the area of ​​this Elf Tree either." Its voice seemed to have a magical power, making those who heard it involuntarily want to obey.

Wang Xiaoyi and the others quickly did as instructed. They moved cautiously to one side, their steps as light as if they were dodging some precious treasure. Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity; they all wanted to see how the battle would unfold.

Meanwhile, several Gold-level adventurers who had previously looked down on Wang Xiaoyi had incredibly interesting expressions on their faces. They had always cast disdainful glances at Wang Xiaoyi, Alpha, and Allen—the three lower-level adventurers—considering them a bunch of burdens. But now, they had become their saviors. A flicker of surprise crossed their faces, followed by embarrassment, and finally, a hint of regret. One of the adventurers who had previously mocked Wang Xiaoyi blushed and paled in turns. He secretly glanced at Wang Xiaoyi, his contempt gone, replaced by a complex mix of emotions—guilt and a touch of envy.
