Volume 1 Chapter 136 (1/2)
Elven tribe
Xu Yi and the other three rested in the Norma Tribe for a night before setting off to the Angola Tribe early next morning. After discussing some things with chief Monto and setting some things in terms of building the new tribe, they headed off to the Falling Rain Forest while being led by Agnes.
There was no path through the Falling Rain Forest, so the four could only abandon the horse carriage and walk through the mountain forest with Agnes on foot.
It was a good thing that the Falling Rain Forest was less than twenty kilometers away, so even the weakest Vivian could keep going.
When it was evening on the next day, the four finally came to the boundary of the Falling Rain Forest.
The sky outside the Falling Rain Forest was still lit up, but once they entered the forest, the thick foliage and branches above their heads had blocked off the light, not letting in a single ray.
But the Falling Rain Forest was not completely dark. Looking around, there were bits of green, purple, or blue light twinkling around them. It covered the forest in a strange colour and made it more mysterious.
This was a common sight for Agnes, but Xu Yi, Still, and Vivian who was here for the first time couldn’t help gasping in surprise.
Especially the two girls Vivian and Still, they were filled with curiosity and excitement over the mysterious scene in front of them.
Still even grabbed Xu Yi’s arm and excitedly shouted, “Xu Yi, how nice would it be if we could live here every day! This place is too beautiful!”
Xu Yi expressionlessly pointed at the ground by her feet, “Look out, don’t step on that snake.”
Still jumped in fear and looked down at where Xu Yi pointed, seeing a giant dark green snake slivering in front of her.
That giant snake didn’t seem to fear people at all and seemed to completely ignore them. It slithered in front of the four of them before disappearing into the darkness on the side.
“That is a Green Leaf Snake, it doesn’t bite people.” Agnes pointed at where the snake disappeared as she explained this. She waved her hand at the three of them, “Follow me or it’ll be very easy to become lost.”
The three quickly nodded and tightly followed Agnes, heading deeper into the Falling Rain Forest.
Before they entered the Falling Rain Forest, Xu Yi didn’t understand why even though many people knew that the elves lived in the forest, almost no one had seen the elves before.
After entering the Falling Rain Forest, Xu Yi understood before long.
The Falling Rain Forest wasn’t considered a very wide forest, but once one went in, the surroundings made it very easy for people to become lost.
Moreover, there were thick plants that grew in the forest that made it hard for people to pass.
If it wasn’t for Agnes leading the way, if the three of them came in alone, they would quickly lose their way and wouldn’t know where they were at all.
To want to find the elves that lived in this kind of complicated environment, it was almost impossible to do.
Not to mention that Agnes was already agile, moving very quickly. Once she entered the Falling Rain Forest, it was like her body had lost all weight and she easily jumped through the forest, like it didn’t take any effort at all.
At first the three could barely keep up, but after less than an hour, Xu Yi already couldn’t keep going anymore.
The reason why he was weaker than a little girl like Vivian was because there was a large wooden box on Xu Yi’s back. It contained important tools he needed for this trip to the elven tribe.
The box weighed several dozen pounds, so even if Xu Yi was a young man, he couldn’t keep carrying it on his back for a long period of time.
Agnes saw this scene and directly took the box from Xu Yi’s back, easily carrying it on her back. Her other hand was supporting the panting Vivian as she continued without any effort at all.
Still looked at Xu Yi in disdain and Xu Yi gave a helpless bitter laugh. Then the two did the same thing as they both laughed while continuing forward.
They kept going like this for around two hours, resting two times in the middle. Agnes suddenly signaled for the three to stop and put down the box on her back while letting go of Vivian before saying to Xu Yi, “Wait a bit.” She jumped up after saying this and landed on a large tree. After jumping twice, she disappeared into the forest.
Still was surprised by this and couldn’t help saying in a worried voice, “Xu Yi, she wouldn’t be ditching us here, right?”
Xu Yi fell onto his butt and patted the ground beside him, “Relax, Agnes still hopes that we can solve the problem with her tribe. Come, rest up first.”
Still looked in the direction Agnes disappeared in. She thought about it and thought that being anxious was no use, so she sat down by Xu Yi.
After the three of them rested for around ten minutes and caught their breath, there was sound from the trees above them and more than ten figures jumped down.
Xu Yi looked at them and found that the first one down was Agnes. Of the ones who jumped down with Agnes, there were men and women, all with long ears. It seemed like they were elves like Agnes.
“Agnes, your clansmen are here to pick us up?” Xu Yi stood up and waved his hand to Agnes. Who would have thought that the male elf behind Agnes would suddenly take a step forward, coming in front of her. He raised his arms and the bow in his hands were pointed at Xu Yi.
“Human, put down your hand.”
Seeing the vigilant look on the male elf’s face, Xu Yi said to Agnes with a frown, “What? Agnes, you didn’t tell them that we were coming?”
