C1686 The Elves
In front of the three of them was a little girl whose height only reached Yang Xuan's waist. She wore green clothes and her long golden hair drifted behind her head. Her eyes were clear blue, her skin was fair, and her ears were pointy. He looked very playful.
"Hey, I'm talking to you guys. Did you hear me?" When the little girl saw the surprised look on Diji's face, she immediately stomped her feet unhappily. A trace of anger appeared on her exquisite face.
"Hello, I am Diji. May I ask your name?" Diji bent down and asked the little girl.
The little girl frowned but still said, "My name is Aerie. You are not from the Spirit Country, right?"
"Spirit Country?" Diji was stunned when she heard the name.
Yang Xuan replied with a strange expression, "Are you guys from the Elf Clan?"
"Elf Clan? What is that?" Diji turned her head to look. She looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "Aren't elves formed from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Aura? Take Shengyan for example. How can he be so cute? "
"No, the elves I am talking about are a race. They are the same as us humans. They have flesh and blood, and they will die of old age." Yang Xuan explained to Diji.
Wen Yun, who was next to him, also said, "That's right. I have long heard of the existence of elves, but I have never seen them. I did not expect to see them in River Diagram World today."
"Legend has it that elves are a powerful race. They are good at archery and a powerful magic. They are born to worship nature. Although they are not tall, they are very agile. It is said that a long time ago, they appeared in the human world. Later on, they mysteriously disappeared, and there was no more news about them." Yang Xuan explained from the side.
"So that's how it is. In other words, you are not a child?" Diji looked at the little girl in front of her and asked curiously.
"I am not. I am already 3800 years old this year. I will soon become an adult." The elf girl put her hands on her waist and said to Diji confidently.
"By the way, you just said that you are still walking outside. Did something happen?" Yang Xuan remembered what Aerie said and asked in confusion.
Aerie nodded and said, "That's right. The annual locust plague is coming soon. If we don't hide early, they will eat us all."
"Locust plague? What kind of monster is it?"
"That's a bunch of detestable locusts. Every autumn, they fly over from the far north to look for food. Furthermore, these locust have a huge appetite. As long as they pass by, it'll all turn into a desert." Aerie explained to Yang Xuan.
Diji laughed and said, "I thought it was some terrifying monster. It turns out that it is just some locusts. Aerie, don't worry. With us here, no matter how many locusts there are, it will not be enough for us to kill."
"Please don't." When Aerie heard this, her face immediately changed and she hurriedly stopped Diji, "Those locusts are very powerful. Without a team of more than a hundred people to face the swarm, they will definitely be eliminated in an instant."
"Aerie, who came?" One. An old voice sounded and a secret passage appeared in the shadows. An elf in a green robe walked out.
However, this elf had an old face, and her back was bent beyond recognition. It was obvious that she was not young anymore.
"Grandma Arthur, why are you here?" Aerie looked at the old man and explained to her, "Grandma Arthur, this is an adventurer from outside. Just now, he was walking outside and I used a mechanism to bring him in."
"Aerie, what did I tell you?" The face of the old man called Arthur immediately turned cold and said to Aerie, "This is the secret chamber of our Green sprout Village and not our people. No one is allowed to enter."
"Senior, we also came here by accident. If we disturb you, we will leave right away." Yang Xuan looked at Arthur's expression and quickly said to her.
Aerie heard this and immediately wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Yang Xuan. "Aerie, thank you for your good intentions. But just as you said, our purpose of coming here is... Just for the adventure. And this senior also said that this is your secret place... Thus, we must leave."
"Hold on, young man" Just as Yang Xuan was about to leave with the two girls, Arthur suddenly stopped Yang Xuan and said, "You can't leave now."
"Why?" Yang Xuan frowned. He could clearly feel that the old man's tone was not friendly.
"How do I know if you are spies sent by the Barbarian Clan in the north? You will have to wait until the locust plague is over before you can leave this place." Arthur sized up Yang Xuan from head to toe and then said to Aerie, "Aerie, bring them to the dark dense forest and let them live well first."
"Yes, Grandmother Arthur." Aerie looked at Yang Xuan and the other two apologetically and said to the three of them, "Follow me."
The three of them looked at each other but did not move. Arthur looked at the three of them and asked in a deep voice, "Young man, what do you want to do?"
"Sorry, senior, we are just passing by here. If it is inconvenient for you. We feel very sorry, but we have other things to do. So we can't stay here. " Yang Xuan said to Arthur with a solemn expression when he saw that Arthur wanted him to stay.
Arthur coldly looked at Yang Xuan and asked, "Passing by? How do I know if you were sent by the Barbarian Clan to inquire about the inside information of our Spirit Country?"2
"Then how can you trust me?" Yang Xuan's tone also became cold.
"Stay here. When the locust plague is over, I will naturally let you leave."
"Impossible, I must leave today."
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Senior, I apologize for offending you."
As the two of them spoke, Yang Xuan leapt up and pounced towards Arthur.
A crutch had unknowingly appeared in Arthur's hand. There was a faint green glow on the crutch. Arthur knocked the walking stick hard on the ground, and the ground immediately started moving. Vines as thick as an arm drilled out from the ground and wrapped around Yang Xuan's legs. He was unable to move.
Yang Xuan also took out his Longevity Sword. With a flash of the blade, the Phoenix Heavenly Fire burned out all the vines.
More vines rushed towards Yang Xuan, completely wrapping him up.
"Yang Xuan!!" Diji saw that Yang Xuan was at a disadvantage and wanted to help him, but she was stopped by Wen Yun.
"Sister Wen Yun, the two of them are fighting." Diji anxiously said to Wen Yun.
Wen Yun, on the other hand, restrained Diji and explained to Diji, "Don't worry, with this level of skill, it will not hurt him. Furthermore, although this matter cannot be solved by force, only by proving our own strength can we let them sit down and negotiate with us."
Diji nodded as if she understood, but she still calmed down.
