Chapter 512
This puzzled Ectirnil greatly, but he soon found the answer.
A young man in his twenties hovered a hundred meters in the air, looking down at everything on the ground.
Considering the Demonic Blade's earlier Stress Response, Ectirnil found it unbelievable.
Is this calamity... being afraid of him?
Who is this person? A higher-level calamity? Or did they come from the 'other side' of the gate in the Endless Icefield?
Not only Ectirnil, but all the Tree Scar Warriors who remained at the scene also looked up at the sky.
The man glanced down at the vast expanse of territory with barely a glance.
"This is the Heavenly Way."
In the blink of an eye, the sky, the same color as snow, was torn Kouzi by a powerful force.
A brown glow permeated the white clouds, and a gigantic Planet Befall, as large as a meteorite, fell from the sky before everyone's eyes!
The Vortex of Heavenly Revelation!
There were no lengthy chants or fancy maneuvers; it was pure, overwhelming skill.
The Black Mist in the area was already extremely thick, yet the Demon's Blade continued to be unleashed, and at an even faster speed than before. This meteorite seemed to possess immense force, instantly blasting his painstakingly constructed kingdom into ruins!
The Demonic Blade was powerless to resist, and the corpses and Fowlbeast corrupted by the kingdom were buried deep underground.
Although the Sami practice water burial, these corpses pose a danger of spreading throughout the country. The only solution is to suppress them all underground once and for all.
The massive Planet Befall caused the mountain to sink, resulting in a violent shaking of the entire peak.
Shi Lei scanned the location of the Demonic Blade and immediately sealed it with the Jade Shield Wall.
So that he might escape by eroding the ordinary mountain structure through the ever-expanding kingdom.
Ectirnil held onto his staff, which was stuck in the ground, to avoid being knocked over by the violent shaking of the mountain.
He stared blankly at the man in the air, unable to describe his feelings at that moment.
That... solves it?
He painstakingly studied ancient magic and mastered it all by the age of thirty-five. Such a learning speed is considered a once-in-a-century talent in the entire Sami region.
Even so, Ectirnil still felt powerless in the face of the Demonic Blade.
The calamity he couldn't resolve was easily crushed by a young man who looked to be only in his twenties.
This stark contrast left Ectirnil even more bewildered and with extremely complex feelings.
Shi Lei used his Psychic Scan and confirmed that the Demonic Blade could not break free of its restraints before withdrawing his supernatural powers.
The sky returned to a white expanse, but the sight of the sky being torn apart was something the Tree Scar Warriors would never forget.
Instead of landing, he turned and flew away.
After meeting up with Simona, we plan to follow the proper procedures to apply for a visit and transit permit to the tribe.
Since they are currently on vacation, they still need to respect the local customs and traditions of Sami. Shi Lei wouldn't have intervened if he hadn't realized they couldn't handle the situation.
As soon as Pu landed, everyone gathered around him.
This was the first time Muelsyse had ever seen Planet Befall, and she was so astonished that she almost turned into a puddle of water.
I've seen Exusiai several times already, and she was very excited to see her again, giving me a thumbs up:
"Zhongli, that move you just made was so cool!"
Texas smiled as she, along with Mudrock and Xi, came over to give him a massage.
Watching Shi Lei being surrounded by people, Muelsyse thought to himself, "No wonder he has three girlfriends."
Who wouldn't love a man like that?

Chapter 586 The Lost Elf (4K)
Shi Lei had plenty of experience with being thanked, and knew that entering the tribe now would surely bring him a warm welcome. Although he had saved these people, that was one thing, and another thing.
In extremely cold places like Sami, resources for survival are scarce. Given the recent deaths, insisting on holding a feast in the tribe is rather Tai He. It would be best to bypass this area and head directly to the Endless Icefield.
Shi Lei had overheard Simona and Typhon's conversation and learned that they were both sent by Anmatar.
Considering the varying degrees of danger in different areas, they thoughtfully arranged for two guides to each be responsible for a section of the route.
Shi Lei knew very little about Sami, and few of the books he read introduced this region. He hadn't yet figured out who this Anmatar was.
However, he wasn't eager to investigate further, since the other party had invited him, they would surely show themselves.
He stepped out from the crowd and approached Hantan politely, saying:
"Miss Simona, this must be our new guide? It seems we must say goodbye here. But before you leave, could you do me a small favor?"
Having just witnessed Zhongli's attack for the first time, Hantan finally understood why Anmatar had said he could save Sami.
The ability to summon meteorites from the sky was simply too exaggerated. Such a domineering and powerful visual impact shattered the understanding she had built up over the years.
"Sure, just let me know."
"It's nothing really, just running an errand. We're planning to enter the Endless Icefield sooner rather than later, so we'll have to trouble you to let them know."
Seeing this was the request, Simona readily agreed:
"Okay, leave it to me."
Shi Lei was a low-key person and hadn't originally planned to take action. If he hadn't seen that the people in the tribe couldn't deal with the Demon's Blade, he wouldn't have caused such a commotion.
After a brief conversation with Typhon, Shi Lei raised his hand and summoned the Rock platform. Seeing this, everyone walked up to it without being told, ready to leave.
A few days ago, Typhon would have been shocked by this Originium Arts that didn't require chanting. But after seeing that enormous meteorite, the ability to create things out of thin air didn't seem so unacceptable anymore.
Texas, displaying the demeanor of Matriarch, noticed Typhon standing there in a daze and raised her hand to greet him:
"La Signora, please get on. We need to cross this area, and we'll have to trouble you with the rest of the journey."
"Ah, okay, okay."
Typhon arrived at the Rock platform and immediately spotted Mudrock and Surtr, both Sarkaz. They were both incredibly beautiful, the most stunning beauties among their kind.
Seeing that everyone had come up, Shi Lei said goodbye to Simona again, and then manipulated the Rock platform to rise into the air.
Although Typhon was Sarkaz, she had grown up in Sami. She had never ridden an elevator before, let alone such a platform. She gripped the edge of the Rock platform tightly, looking extremely tense.
Shi Lei sensed something was wrong and slowed down as he ascended. This was what it was like to ride the Rock platform for the first time.
Inside the Tree Scar Tribe.
The mysterious man summoned a giant meteorite, slamming the calamity and the ground polluted by the Black Mist into the earth. Inadvertently, he did them a great favor.
If the corpses from the infected country are left exposed, they risk being corroded. In that case, the only better option would be suicide for the greater good.
The Tree Scar Tribe suffered heavy losses in this battle, including many warriors and the Fowlbeast that provided the Kun Dan. They had already minimized the losses from directly encountering the calamity.
Without the help of that mysterious man, they would probably all have perished here. And the Old Man and women and children, who had lost the protection of the Tree Scar Warriors, had a very low chance of survival.
Ectirnil offered a few words of reassurance to calm the crowd. He then drew his staff and hurried out of the settlement, seemingly searching for his benefactor.
The Painted Face Shaman who had been relaying the message suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly ran over to report:
"Chief, the Daughter of Hantan Wood is leading a group of people who say they are going into the Endless Icefield. That man just now seemed to be one of them. She also said that this was arranged by Anmatar and asked me to inform you to verify with the Clan Tree."
"Anma ..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ectirnil looked up and saw a large rock that had somehow flown into the air.
He quickly caught up and soon met Simona walking towards him at the Entrance/Exit the settlement.
"Daughter of Hantan Wood, where are the people you brought?"
Upon hearing this, Simona pointed to the Rock platform that was gradually flying away:
"They've already left. He said he had to go into the Endless Icefield for some business and asked me to tell you they wouldn't be staying."
Watching the stone gradually disappear from view, Ectirnil felt utterly dejected. Why did the other party leave after doing such a good deed? He still had so many questions he wanted to ask.
Typhon gripped the railing of the Rock platform tightly, afraid to look down. Even a glimpse made her dizzy. She didn't know when Anmatar would appear, so she could only tell Shi Lei to keep heading north.
Actually, after entering the Endless Icefield, this Sami Journey was almost coming to an end.
Shi Lei had used Rock Constructs to fill the cave of the Frozen Fire Giant. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the distance for a moment; it was only 230 kilometers from his current location. If he continued at this pace, stopping frequently, he would reach his destination in three days at most.
A thought flashed through my mind, and the Rock platform slowly descended.
In fact, the landing point was very strategic. There was a cave hidden by a dead tree at the foot of the hill ahead, and the creatures inside were closely related to Muelsyse.
Two months ago, Shi Lei was forcibly teleported here by a lich's Magic Array. At the time, he was eager to return to Londinium to protect his lover and friends. Even after discovering the anomaly deep within the cave, he didn't have time to explore it.
Now that I'm here on vacation with my family, and given my desire to find fellow countrymen through the Muelsyse, there's naturally no reason for me to avoid this place.
Wow.
Seeing the snowflakes drifting upwards, Surtr took a second look. Exusiai and Lappland, seeing this, shouted excitedly and ran closer to investigate. She guessed that there was some kind of Magic Array underground that could blow people into the air.
Muelsyse also found such a sight rare and skillfully assembled a drone, intending to collect samples to take back with her.
Only Typhon, with a grave expression, spoke up with a warning:
"Be careful, this might be related to a calamity!"
Lappland frantically dug through the snow with her bare hands, Exusiai, a beat slower, turned her head and replied:
"Don't worry, you're new here and don't know the situation. With Zhongli here, we're not afraid of any calamities that may come our way!"
"Exactly, the sense of security he provides is something no one else can give. Come and see, this is really fun!"
They throw a handful of snow into a designated area, and it immediately flies back into the sky. But if you put your hand among the snowflakes, you can't sense anything unusual.
This bizarre sight seems to have a weight limit. If a person were to fall into it, they wouldn't be lifted into the air.
Muelsyse used a remote control to operate a drone and collected numerous samples of Ascending State snow. He planned to bring them back to Rhine Lab for further study.
After she finished her work, Shi Lei smiled and pointed to the hidden Cave Entrance on the hill, reminding her:
"Miss Muelsyse, look over there."
Muelsyse looked in the direction he was pointing and didn't see anything wrong with the pile of Dead Twig. But Mister Zhongli was no ordinary person; there must be a deeper meaning behind his words.
She put down the remote and went over to check, but still found nothing unusual.
Hmm, that's strange...
Muelsyse scratched his face, feeling somewhat puzzled.
She had just bent down to pick up the Dead Twig to examine it when she realized that her hand had passed right through the snow!
Muelsyse's eyes lit up, and he groped his way forward like a blind man crossing a river, quickly finding the cave entrance.
Shi Lei's Psychic Scan was more accurate than radar and completely unaffected by illusions. That's why he was able to investigate the general situation inside without even going inside.
Seeing that Muelsyse had vanished into thin air, Exusiai was having a snowball fight, wanted to go and search for her. Shi Lei, seeing her approach the hidden Cave Entrance, stopped her:
"Exusiai, don't go. Those are Muelsyse's brethren, they might not like you."
Although Exusiai was unwilling, she obediently gave up the investigation. The snowball thrown by Texas instantly pulled her thoughts back to the intense snowball fight.
"You dare to ambush me? Take this!"
While everyone else was having a great time on the hill, Muelsyse went inside alone. The cave was pitch black, but she used the light from her flashlight to illuminate the surroundings as if it were daytime.
At the end of the cave lies a vast Underground Space.
The amber-like home, resembling a cocoon, is enveloped layer upon layer by the roots of Giant Tree. Those houses, each possessing a life of their own, can change their structure and clean themselves simply through thought and words.
The silver-haired, pointy-eared elves either sit chatting on furniture woven from plants, dance around the roots of Giant Tree, or sing with ethereal voices.
They seemed very happy, their smiles never fading, clearly enjoying the moment.
Muelsyse could hardly describe her feelings at that moment; her body trembled with excitement. She had thought she was the last elf on this land, but she never expected to find so many of her kind in the Endless Icefield of Sami.
[Who are you?] (Elf language)
The elves weren't blind; they had spotted Muelsyse the moment she appeared. They curiously observed this newcomer, feeling that she bore a striking resemblance to themselves.
