Chapter 578: Chapter 593 Demon Beast Attacks City Ancient Tree Obtained

“How is it you?”

As Qin Feng initially saw the figure moving inside the window, he instinctively reached out to grab the other’s neck, but he had only extended his hand halfway when he suddenly realized the person looked extremely familiar.

Although the other party now had a head full of green hair and an extra pair of pointed ears, when Qin Feng saw those gentle eyes like a deer, he immediately recognized her identity: a disciple from the Creation Lineage, Wen Qing’er!

“Ah, Senior Brother Qin, how come you’re here too?”

Wen Qing’er was startled by Qin Feng’s sudden appearance, thinking that her plan to sneak out of the window had been discovered by another elf, but upon realizing it was Qin Feng, she was both surprised and delighted. She grabbed his hand in front of her and hopped around, showing great excitement.

Feeling the delicate and soft touch from his palm and looking at the girl’s face brimming with vitality, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel somewhat stunned.

Although he had mentioned the Elf Forest to both Qin Xi and Wen Qing’er before, and knew that the Creation Lineage had designs on this place, he had not expected Wen Qing’er to still be here after such a long time without returning.

And after so many years, the girl had not changed at all, still looking like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with eyes as clear as when he first met her. Even though she was here on an undercover mission, she had not changed her original nature.

However, it seemed that such a personality was even more popular among the Elf Clan; otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to enter and exit the Elf Temple so freely!

Indeed, that was the case. When Qin Feng discreetly withdrew his hand from Wen Qing’er’s grip and asked about her experiences over the years, only then did he come to know that the girl had become one of the Holy Daughters of the Elf Clan with her genuine character and pure spirit, under the planning of the Creation Lineage’s elders, and she might even gain even higher status in the future.

As for Qin Xi, although she had also become one of the rarely seen magic geniuses of the Elf Clan and even a Priest of the Divine Temple, favored by the Elf Elder of this tribe, her status within the entire Elf Clan was actually not as good as hers.

This left Qin Feng somewhat speechless; although Wen Qing’er was naive, her disposition was often even more endearing, especially to the Elf Clan, which had a somewhat unique temperament.

“Sister Xiaoxi is also in this tribe!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but comment emotionally about the coincidence. Initially, the Elder of the Creation Lineage had taken an interest in this tribe and positioned them here. After comparing several times, he had also chosen to target this tribe.

“By the way, Senior Brother Qin, did you come here to see Sister Xiaoxi and me?”

After the excitement, Wen Qing’er remembered to ask about Qin Feng’s purpose.

“No.”

Qin Feng looked into Wen Qing’er’s pure eyes and chose to be honest, “I came to the Elf Forest this time to seize an Ancient War Tree. It was pure coincidence that I ran into Junior Sister Wen.

I didn’t know you were in this tribe beforehand, or else I would have acted a few days later and given you a heads-up.

Well, speaking of which, if I take this tribe’s War Ancient Tree, will it affect your plans?”

“Not at all!”

Wen Qing’er wasn’t disheartened by Qin Feng’s admission that he hadn’t come specifically to see them. She was still very excited about the chance meeting. “There are a total of three War Ancient Trees in this tribe. Which one has caught Senior Brother Qin’s eye? Do you need my help?

Oh, right, I should call Sister Xiaoxi so we can steal the tree together; it would definitely be fun!”

“No, no, no…”

Seeing her excitement to leap out of the window to find Qin Xi, Qin Feng quickly stretched out his hand to stop her, “Since I didn’t know you were here, I have already made my plans. It’s a bit late to involve Sister Xiaoxi now.

In a little while, those powerful individuals who left will likely return. If we startle the snake by hitting the grass, those elves will become alert and won’t be fooled so easily.”

“That makes sense.”

Wen Qing’er nodded repeatedly in agreement, “Lately, the tribe’s Elder told everyone to be vigilant. He even tasked me to guard a treasure that has been passed down for years in the Divine Temple, making sure it doesn’t fall into the hands of unscrupulous Beastman Experts!”

“That’s right, it’s the work of the Beastmen!”

Qin Feng nodded, barely suppressing the urge to ask Wen Qing’er about the treasure she was guarding, then turned to say, “I plan to seize the War Ancient Tree in front of the Divine Temple, what does Junior Sister Wen think?”

“Senior Brother Qin, your eye is remarkable; you’ve chosen the most powerful one immediately.”

Wen Qing’er nodded and then asked, “Brother, do you need my help?”

Qin Feng thought for a moment and replied, “Although my original plan would work, it’s still a bit risky. Now that Junior Sister is willing to help, that’s definitely favorable. Do you have a way to make that War Ancient Tree pull up its roots and leave its rooted spot?”

“That?”

Wen Qing’er’s doe-like eyes spun around, and she quickly got an idea. She clapped her hands, “Got it! Brother, you can create a disturbance around the outskirts of the tribe with your Spiritual Beast, making a big commotion. I’ll have the War Ancient Tree go over in support, then Brother can launch a surprise attack en route. It should work.

But that War Ancient Tree is extraordinarily powerful; even the usual Super Demon Beasts are no match for it when it unleashes its full War Power. Are you sure you don’t want to choose another one?”

“No need, I am confident.”

Qin Feng couldn’t resist reaching out to pat Wen Qing’er’s head, “Junior Sister Wen is truly intelligent beyond measure, coming up with a solution so quickly. Rest assured, I don’t take actions I’m uncertain about.

By the way, how much longer do you and Sister Xiaoxi plan to stay here? Why not return with me?”

“That’s not possible.”

Wen Qing’er shook her head, “This is a task assigned to Sister Xiaoxi and me by the Elder, also a trial for us. If we quit halfway, wouldn’t that let the Elder down and disappoint the expectations of our Sect?”

Seeing her answer in such a manner, Qin Feng couldn’t help but smile faintly, “Junior Sister Wen is as well-behaved and sensible as ever. Well then, let’s let this go for now. When you return to the Sect later, I’ll throw a feast to welcome you and Sister Xiaoxi back.”

During the conversation, a dragon’s roar suddenly erupted from the western side of the tribe. A robust white dragon appeared out of nowhere at the periphery of the tribe, spewing out scorching Holy Flame from its mouth, its long tail sweeping across and toppling several Elf treehouses, panicking many members of the Elf Clan who frantically fled for their lives.

Simultaneously, several powerful presences arose from the depths of the tribe, rapidly flying towards the outskirts. At the same time, an Elf Elder angrily exclaimed, “Giant Dragon, our Elf Clan has no significant grudge with your Dragon Island. Why do you wreak havoc in our tribe? Are you not afraid of provoking discord between our two races, or have you already formed an alliance with the Beastman and plan to jointly dominate the entire continent?”

“Argh…”

The white dragon had no idea whether Dragon Island had reached an agreement with the Beastman Kingdom, nor did it understand that the races of the Southern Continent harbored fear and speculation towards the Dragon Clan, the only race capable of tipping the scales in battle.

In the past few years of war, the Giant Dragon Clan had gotten too close to the Beastman, and if these two races joined forces, based solely on the current strength of the Elf Clan, Giant Clan, Dwarf Clan, and other races, it would indeed be difficult to resist.

After all, just the Beastman Kingdom had already caused them some embarrassment, and adding the dominating Giant Dragons to the mix, they would probably need to seek the support of the Divine to stand a chance.

Although unaware of the specifics, the white dragon was, nevertheless, astute. As a creature that had been active in the Beast Taming Sect for a few years, it knew full well the overwhelming power of the sect, which was not something the various local races could contend with. If the Beast Taming Sect didn’t regard the gods backing these races, they would have seized the continent long ago.

It could no longer betray Qin Feng, but it was also worried about its own species on Dragon Island, concerned that if those Elders became too arrogant, they might doom the entire island.

Therefore, it decided to release a message to the outside world, preferably causing a misunderstanding about Dragon Island’s decision and thereby aligning the Giant Dragons as allies of the Beast Taming Sect.

So, it ambiguously said, “Enough with the nonsense. Even without cooperating with the Beastman, your Elves are no match for the Giant Dragon Clan. If you know what’s good for you, hand over your tribe’s treasure immediately, or beware, I might annihilate your tribe today.”

Upon hearing the white dragon’s words, the faces of the various Elf Elders changed drastically. Did its words imply that Dragon Island truly had formed an alliance with the Beastman?

Sure enough, in the previous years during their confrontations against the Human Clan nations, these two races had shown signs of collusion, particularly the Giant Dragon Clan had not shied away from looting treasures from the divine temples of Human nations with the help of the Beastman. Now it seemed that these two races indeed had long been conniving.

It made sense, too; the inherent greediness of the Giant Dragon Clan clearly had them eyeing the treasures of the races of the Southern Continent. Perhaps they hadn’t even waited to be enticed by the Beastman, taking the initiative to forge an alliance once more.

“Attack together, kill it!”

Convinced they had divined the Giant Dragon Clan’s plan, the Elf Elder signaled, and the rest unleashed powerful magic. From afar, divine Archers fired magic arrows, attempting to completely obliterate the white dragon that had come to plunder their tribe’s treasures, aiming to alleviate as much pressure as possible for the upcoming war.

A Super Demon Level Giant Dragon, with not many even on Dragon Island, would represent a significant loss, and killing one would perhaps serve as a deterrent to Dragon Island’s kin, signaling that they should not lightly participate in the war between them and the Beastman, or else who knows how many more might die in the future.

The white dragon was no pushover either; freshly advanced to the Super Demon level, it was brimming with arrogance and pride. Moreover, its massive size gave it an edge.

Even the strongest Elf Elder, with strength comparable to a Super Demon Beast, could not match it in terms of amassed Magic Power. Additionally, aside from magic, the tough dragon body also endowed it with formidable melee power, so it let out a thunderous roar, spewing magic from its mouth and charging directly into the fray.

On the other side, Wen Qing’er excitedly used Sound Transmission Magic to ask, “Elder Bilodis, shall I have the War Ancient Tree come to assist?”

“No need!”

The formidable female Elf Elder replied without turning her head, “Holy Daughter, just stay inside the Divine Temple and ensure no one breaks in. A single white dragon, we can still handle. There’s no need to deploy the War Ancient Tree. Let it continue to protect the Divine Temple!”

In recent years, various tribes often produced powerful individuals who used deceptive tactics to inflict heavy losses on others, causing even the once naive elves to become more astute.

“Uh…”

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing’er couldn’t help but stick out her cute little pink tongue, her innocent eyes looking towards Qin Feng, “Senior Brother Qin, what should we do? Should I let my Spiritual Beast go out and make trouble too?”

“Hehe, there’s no need for that, I have already made arrangements.”

Qin Feng chuckled lightly. As his mind moved, a strong fluctuation was similarly transmitted from the southeast direction of the tribe. Soon, a beautiful giant bird with a body of red and long tail feathers flew out. With every flap of its wings, countless flames fell, startling many ordinary elves into fleeing everywhere.

Although many elves released a barrage of magic attacks and Elf Archers continuously shot various arrows, the flames on the Undying Qingluan’s body were extraordinarily hot. Ordinary magic and arrows did not even reach it before being incinerated into nothingness.

After merging with the Phoenix bloodline, the Qingluan’s strength surged. In the years of Qin Feng’s seclusion and cultivation, it had experienced the passage of time within the Demon Refining Pot. It was now on the verge of advancing and would likely soon follow in the White Dragon’s footsteps and advance to Dharma Image status.

“Damn it!”

Elder Bilodis’s face changed drastically as she saw this, both shocked and angry, “How could there be so many Demon Beasts causing trouble? Could the Phoenix have also sided with the Beastman Kingdom?”

After her frustration, she quickly instructed the nearby Elders to go and fight, “I can handle this place on my own; you others go help, and we must capture that Undying Bird. We’ll use the corpses of these Demon Beasts to deter other Demon Beast races and show them the consequences of recklessly joining the war!”

She then shouted towards the direction of the Divine Temple, “Holy Daughter, react according to the situation. I have already sent messages to the Royal City and nearby major tribes for support. If there is another unexpected event, we will deploy the War Ancient Tree.”

“Another unexpected event?”

Wen Qing’er murmured softly to herself, and then those big eyes peered at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng, understanding her look, smiled knowingly. Next, from another direction came the roaring of the Fire Ape.

“Hehe…”

Wen Qing’er found it quite amusing and hurriedly hopped and skipped toward the door of the Divine Temple.

Qin Feng’s figure flashed, using the Shadow Transformation Divine Power to blend into Wen Qing’er’s shadow.

Wen Qing’er reached the massive War Ancient Tree and patted its trunk, “Legolas, wake up, there are Demon Beasts invading outside the tribe, and we need your help in battle.”

With Wen Qing’er’s call, the tree shook, and an ancient face emerged on the huge trunk. It looked at Wen Qing’er and then swayed its body from side to side, noticing several strong Demon Beasts. It hurriedly pulled out its roots from the ground, transforming them into the shape of two big feet and slowly lumbered towards the outskirts of the tribe.

Qin Feng squinted his eyes, and when Wen Qing’er’s shadow overlapped with the tree’s shadow, he shifted into the tree’s shadow.

Because the War Ancient Tree was focused on the outside invasion, it did not notice what was underneath it. As it was walking, it suddenly heard a loud “Gurgle” in front of it and then an emptiness underfoot as its whole body seemed to have fallen into an independent space.
