Chapter 235: Transformed into a Hypocritical High Priest Who Covets the Godhead of Light (19)
Feather arrows unique to the elves flew rapidly from behind the giant tree, hitting the target accurately.
Qi Heng had run far enough, but he still couldn't avoid the feather arrow from the elven warrior.
There is no elf in the current continent of Vilia who does not hate humans. Humans have plundered their homes, kidnapped their cubs and companions, and forced their families to be broken up.
How could they not hate it? The principle of expelling humans who were found in the forest was broken, and humans were killed on the spot when they were caught.
Only by retaliating with the same means can the elves have a moment of relief.
Now that humans have been spotted once again, and around the Elf Mother Tree, how can I not be angry?!
As for the guidance of the golden thread, Quan Quan was angry because Xiao Yin mistakenly thought that the God of Life had discovered humans.
Elven history books once recorded that the God of Life was born in an era of war. When he was an elf, he was abused by humans. After becoming a god, he was not friendly to humans.
As for the fact that the God of Life was recorded in elven history books as half elf and half human before he became a god, the elves selectively ignored it. Anyway, there was not much human blood in the god's body.
Following the king's order, Xiao Yin's arrow only shot into the human's calf to prevent him from escaping further.
Xiao Yin sighed, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't kill the filthy human.
Qi Heng felt a sharp pain in his leg, gasped, lost his balance and fell to the ground, rolling twice.
The sharp grass leaves scratched Qi Heng's cheek, and blood gushed out from the wound.
Turning around, the elf who shot the arrows leaped into the jungle and ran towards him.
Discovered? How is that possible? He clearly didn't make any noise...
There was no time left, Qi Heng gritted his teeth and pulled out the long arrow. The pain made his eyes go black and he almost fainted from the pain.
Fortunately, healing magic was cast in time to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain.
Without waiting for further treatment, Qi Heng felt his shoulders tighten the next moment and was lifted up with his feet off the ground.
"He is a magician with some value, no wonder the king didn't allow him to be killed...
Human, tell me why you broke into our elf territory?
How did you get close to here?"
The sharp dagger was pressed against Qi Heng's neck, a naked threat.
In Xiao Yin's opinion, not killing him was already a sign of mercy from the Elf King. As a prisoner, any treatment given to him by the humans was not excessive.
"No... I don't know. My team and I entered Emerald Mountain and suddenly triggered the underground formation. A light-type member of the team became the center of the formation, and I was here in the blink of an eye...
Spare my life! Spare my life! "
His words were hurried and panicked, and he was obviously frightened.
Xiao Yin didn't even bother to look at his captive. He just took him back to the Elf King and half-knelt on the ground.
"King, the intruder has been captured."
The Elf King lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the human in front of him who was surrounded by golden Sanskrit. He then shifted his gaze to look at the roots of the Elf Mother Tree, and a thought flashed in his silver eyes.
"Xiao Yin, kill him here."
"King, human blood will pollute the sacred pond!"
"Don't worry, the sacred pond will purify the filth."
"…Yes."
The Elf King is unsure of the God of Life's attitude. Should he kill him outright or throw him to the bottom of the lake and let the gods deal with him?
If the gods did not want this human to die, they would naturally stop Xiao Yin.
If he was really killed, the Elf King would not feel too much. Humans should be put to death.
Qi Heng couldn't understand what the elves were talking about, but he could still clearly feel the elves' undisguised murderous intent behind him.
He suddenly raised his head, struggled violently, tears streaming down his face, and looked frightened and confused.
"Please don't kill me, please spare me, please, let me do anything, please don't kill me! I don't want to die yet!"
The man's face suddenly appeared in the sight of the Elf King and Xiao Yin. Both elves were stunned and fell silent.
He was wearing the robe of a priest of the Temple of Light, his body was dirty and covered with mud, and there was a long wound on his left cheek that spread from the corner of his eye to the corner of his lips. He looked extremely miserable.
The human was begging for mercy, but Xiao Yin didn't hear much at all. Or rather, he didn't hear a single word. His entire attention was drawn to the human's pair of misty black eyes.
There has never been a moment when Xiao Yin realized so clearly that black is also an extremely beautiful color.
It should obviously be a symbol of filth. He hates black the most, especially those filthy humans in Victoria. They don't deserve white. Black should be the symbol of humanity!
"He... he is a human? How is that possible?" Xiao Yin was too excited. She pinched Qi Heng's chin and looked left and right. She found the long and thin scratch an eyesore, so she used a high-level healing spell to help Qi Heng recover as before.
"Let him go, Xiao Yin. He is the human chosen by the gods..." The Elf King paused and continued to order
"Stab him in the heart with a dagger."
"But...he, why don't he stay? He didn't do anything." He said hesitantly.
"Xiao Yin, let me say it again, kill him."
Xiao Yin gritted his teeth and raised the dagger, "Yes."
The dagger made of special materials flashed bright silver light, and regardless of Qi Heng's struggle, it pretended to stab into the man's heart.
Just when the tip of the dagger was about to pierce the skin, everything seemed to slow down, except Qi Heng's speed remained the same.
Qi Heng didn't think much and rolled to the side to avoid the dagger.
Although he appeared to be delighted at having survived the disaster, he was actually thinking about an escape strategy.
What to do, where to run?
What happened just now?
There was a bright golden light at the root of the giant tree, but Qi Heng seemed not to see it. He got up and ran away without looking back.
He used healing magic to wrap the calf that was pierced by the feather arrow, and waited for the wound to heal before speeding up without even looking back.
The golden light paused slightly, as if it had not expected that Qi Heng would not even look at him and run away so easily!
The Elf King's restraints disappeared. He rubbed his wrists, stared at the human's back, and let out a sigh of relief.
As expected...can’t be killed.
At this time, the gods released the shackles on him, and the purpose was self-evident.
The Elf King flashed in front of Qi Heng, faced the man's shocked expression, used powerful wood magic to bind Qi Heng, and walked towards the lakeshore.
The world was spinning, and by the time Qi Heng came to his senses, he had already fallen into the lake.
Qi Heng swam towards the lake without thinking, and in the next instant he noticed that there seemed to be a human body at the root of the giant tree.
The long golden hair overflowed from the gaps at the roots, and its brilliance was extremely eye-catching on the grassy lake bottom, making it difficult not to see it.
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Heng turned around and swam towards the bottom of the lake.
He is quite good at swimming, and even if worst comes to worst, he still has the water-repellent beads from the system mall, so he won't die.
There were people trapped at the bottom of the lake. Qi Heng saw them but didn't rescue them, and he felt guilty about it.
When he got close to the oval-shaped "cocoon" formed by the tree roots, Qi Heng opened the gap and reached in to feel around.
He touched what looked like the man's abdominal muscles, extending upwards to the heart. After confirming that the person in the "cocoon" had a heartbeat and was still alive, Qi Heng wanted to pull back his hand and chop open the tree roots to rescue the man.
Unexpectedly, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by the guy inside. Qi Heng wanted to pull it back, but failed, and felt suspicious.
