"Human, I'll say it again, get out of here right now!"
"This forest is Elf Clan, we've taken it!"
The elven guard captain held his head high.
In the eyes of these self-proclaimed noble species.
Humans are nothing but inferior beings, worthy only of being Starfury and his slaves.
It is already a great blessing that they were able to ask to expel them on their own initiative.
The elven queen, riding atop a unicorn, looked down at the man in the black trench coat.
Disgust surfaced on her ripe face.
Unlike other Elf Clan, she had an unusual aversion to people of the opposite sex.
However...
The atmosphere now, however, is somewhat strange.
Jiangnan ignored them and continued to stroke the bark of the [Echo Jianmu].
He didn't turn around.
There was no shock.
They didn't even flinch at the reprimand.
Because in his eyes, the only difference between these things and flies was...
It's just that it looks a bit better.
"Presumptuous!"
The elven guard captain was furious that he had been ignored by a human.
He suddenly drew his enchanted longsword from his waist and pointed it directly at Jiangnan's back.
"Since you refuse to listen to reason, then you'll have to leave your life and this forest behind! Fire the arrows!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Dozens of elven archers released their bowstrings, and armor-piercing arrows flew toward Jiangnan's back!
Just as the arrow was about to hit...
Jiangnan has finally stirred.
He still didn't utter a single word.
He simply took out the [Human Emperor Lamp] from his waist with his left hand.
Faced with the rain of arrows, Jiangnan simply tapped the lamp with the finger he was holding.
"Buzz!"
With a flicker of the wick of the Human Emperor Lamp!
A surge of purple flames swept across the entire primeval forest!
The next second.
"Pat... pat..."
All the enchanted arrows that rained down from the sky fell onto the ground.
[Suppression]!
Ignoring all laws, it Suppression all Spirit Artifact, Weird Artifact, and souls below the rank of the Human Emperor Lamp.
To render them completely incapable of fighting and resisting!
"What... what's going on?!"
The captain of the guard was horrified.
But he hadn't had time to figure out what was going on.
Thump! Thump!
The elven guards suddenly screamed and fell to their knees!
Even the unicorn beneath the Elf Queen let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground.
He threw the high and mighty Empress off his back!
"What... what did you do to us?!"
The Elf Queen rose from the ground, a look of panic crossing her mature and beautiful face.
She brandished the Life Staff in her hand, attempting to summon its power.
But he discovered that his top-grade staff couldn't even emit a faint light!
Jiangnan looked at the group of elves lying on the ground, panting.
Then, he slapped the bottom of the Human Emperor Lamp again with his right hand.
Since these elves like to bully others by taking advantage of their power.
He would then show them what true power and numbers really meant.
"Boom!"
A ghostly moon rose in the sky, and the land beneath their feet, once covered with spiritual herbs, turned into scorched earth of the Yellow Springs!
A River of Forgetfulness, teeming with endless resentful souls, flows through the forest!
[The Yellow Springs]!
The exclusive domain of the Human Emperor Lamp.
Once deployed, it can cover an area of ten kilometers in radius.
Within the realm of the Yellow Springs, all the souls imprisoned within the Human Emperor Lamp will temporarily gain [physical bodies]!
"Aaaaaah! What kind of place is this?!"
The pampered elves of Twilight Forest screamed in terror at the sight.
But what truly drove them to despair was only just beginning.
"Click click click..."
The sound of the inner gate of the Human Emperor Lamp opening accompanied this.
Countless dark figures crawled out one after another from the scorched earth of the Yellow Springs!
Abyss Jellyfish King...
Confucian and Daoist scholars...
Lianghai Pirate Group...
And the townspeople of Soul Return Town...
And the bosses you fight your way through Jiangnan!
All the souls that were being treated like cattle and horses on the spot were summoned.
At this moment, with the blessing of the Yellow Springs Realm, they all temporarily regained physical bodies.
They descended upon this forest!
"Gurgle~ Gurgle!! (Working 24 hours a day without a single day off, my tentacles are about to break off!)"
The Abyss Jellyfish King cursed and swore as it pounded its transparent waist with its tentacles.
The wolf king beside him had a mournful face.
"Woof~ woof woof... woof woof woof! (Who says it isn't! After screwing in screws in this lamp every day, I've lost two sizes!)"
Just as this group of cattle and horses were complaining...
It also locked onto the hundreds of elves who were paralyzed on the ground.
"Holy crap! A new employee?!"
"Hahaha! And they're Elf Clan!"
"Even without cultivation, they have extremely long lifespans; they're practically chosen divine bodies!"
"Brothers! Hurry up and cram them into the assembly line, we finally have some replacements!"
"I can rest for ten minutes now!"
The Confucian and Daoist scholars laughed loudly.
They were among the first cattle and horses within the Human Emperor Lamp.
How could they not be excited to see someone who could take over their jobs?
"Roar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts pounced on him, still bound by the chains of the Human Emperor Lamp.
"No... don't come any closer! Ah!"
The elven guards screamed in agony.
Faced with the overwhelming power of these monsters, they were powerless to resist.
Tentacles coiled around them, Claws lifted them into the air.
They were dragged by these Evil Ghost to the depths of the Yellow Springs and stuffed into the wick of the Human Emperor Lamp!
"Welcome to the sweatshop, my little fairies~"
Charlotte, as the group leader, also came out and put a collar around the captain of the guard's neck.
In less than three minutes.
Hundreds of elves have been completely looted and turned into assembly line workers.
Even unicorns were led away, mistaken for donkeys.
In the vast realm of the Yellow Springs.
Only the Elf Queen remained, slumped on the scorched earth.
Her crown has long since fallen.
Looking at the man in black ahead.
Monster!
This is not some lowly human being at all!
This is a demon god who manipulates countless top-tier souls!
"Tap... tap..."
The sound of footsteps on scorched earth echoed in the Elf Queen's ears.
Jiangnan, carrying the Human Emperor Lamp, walked up to her.
He looked down at the mature woman whose clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
"My... my lord! Please, forgive my rudeness!"
The Elf Queen collapsed.
She abandoned her dignity, knelt down, and pressed her face against the dirty mud.
"I'm willing to pay any price! Just spare my life..."
"The entire Elf Clan treasury..."
"This entire Jianmu Forest is all I have to offer you!"
"I can even arrange for you to marry Zandaya, the holy maiden of my Elf Clan!"
Jiangnan looked at this empress who was groveling and begging for mercy.
All the cost?
He locked onto those words.
As is widely known, there is a side effect after using Dragon God Emperor Armor.
And this side effect...
Those who know, know.
In fact...
The gale-force winds in Jiangnan are already desperately thirsty.
He looked at the elven queen before him.
Women are like wine, the older they get, the more fragrant and mellow they become.
So he took out Memo Pad from the pocket of his trench coat.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Jiangnan held a pen in one hand and wrote a line on a sticky note.
Then, he bent down and pressed his hand against her forehead!
The Elf Queen reached out with trembling hands and peeled off the note.
[Two choices: become a beast of burden in this lamp, or choose something else. The choice is yours.]
Another one...
The Elf Queen looked up.
Her cheeks flushed instantly.
Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes.
She, the supreme ruler of the Elf Clan, has fallen to such a state!
She originally came to find Saint Zandaya, but unexpectedly ended up getting herself involved.
Still in this form...
But... as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a chance to rebuild!
"I... I choose the other one."
Immediately, the Elf Queen seized the future.
Deep within the swamp, a highly poisonous miasma permeated the air.
However, at this moment, this place is filled with hundreds of gray and white stone sculptures.
Whether it's a giant, venomous mosquito poised to take flight, or a multi-headed python lurking beneath the mud.
They all retained their most ferocious postures from when they were alive, frozen into lifeless objects.
This is all naturally the result of Medusa's journey.
At the very center of these stone sculptures, a mud pit several meters in diameter is radiating seven-colored divine light!
That vitality even caused the withered poison vines around them to sprout new buds.
"Found it! It's [Chaos Soil]!"
A China soldier was so excited that he trembled all over.
"My God!"
"This is the soil that's rumored to be able to grow all the spiritual plants in the world!"
Another soldier swallowed hard and pulled a Mineral Water bottle from his backpack.
"This is fantastic! Even if it's just a small bottle I bring back!"
"Even in the Armed Forces Department, that's an exorbitant price, practically priceless! Hurry up and assemble it! Everyone, hurry and assemble it!"
"Etc!"
Just as everyone was getting ready to get started, a sweet shout interrupted them.
Medusa walked over.
"Ahem... digging is allowed."
"But let me make this clear from the start!"
"I led you guys into this place, and I took care of those monsters."
"Therefore, most of this Chaos Soil will belong to me!"
"Consider the remaining 20% as a reward for your hard work. Any objections?"
The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.
Then he smiled!
They thought Medusa wanted it all, but they didn't expect her to give up so much!
If it were any other powerful person, they probably wouldn't even have enough to eat, and they'd still have to work!
"No objection! Absolutely no objection!"
The squad leader nodded repeatedly, "You're right!"
"Without you, we brothers wouldn't have even been able to get to the outer edge of this swamp, let alone see this place."
"Twenty percent is enough for us brothers to defy fate!"
"You guys are sensible~"
Medusa enjoyed being the center of attention.
"Work hard! I'm a little tired from playing today, I'm going to take a beauty nap first."
Call me when you're done digging.
After saying that, she lay down on the boulder and closed her eyes.
All the soldiers rushed into the mud pit and began collecting the Chaos Soil.
The Clown, however, mingled among the crowd, his movements seemingly digging in the dirt, but his eyes were fixed on the sleeping Medusa.
"This woman... is ridiculously strong, and acts with complete impunity."
The Clown pretended to work while secretly plotting in his mind.
"When did Huaxia Country develop such a trump card?"
"If we let her continue living, and even let her take this Chaos Soil back to the Dragon God's camp..."
"It will definitely become the biggest hidden danger!"
However, he had no idea.
The woman lying asleep on the rock at this moment is none other than one of the twelve supreme Evil God of their Desolate God Society!
[Demon Snake Evil God Medusa]!
His actions were purely an attempt to betray his superior.
"We must eliminate her while she's off guard!"
The Clown retreated to the edge of the crowd behind a dead tree, finding a blind spot.
He reached into his tactical leg wraps and grasped a short blade.
[White Tiger Dagger]!
This was his trump card, his last resort.
This dagger was a top-grade Spirit Artifact that he bought from Dusk at a high price years ago.
The entire dagger is forged from [Gengjin Divine Iron], so sharp that it can even briefly cut through space!
The only drawback is its extremely low durability; it's a consumable item.
It can only be used a few times, so he usually can't bear to take it out.
"Now, it's your time to shine..."
The Clown narrowed his eyes, the power of the [Savage Battle Body] surging within his right arm.
His muscles bulged, making his clothes bulge.
Die!
The Clown growled inwardly and tightened his wrist!
"Call out!"
The White Tiger Dagger tore through the miasma in its path and stabbed towards Medusa's cheek!
"Bang!!!"
A sharp, metallic cracking sound echoed through the swamp!
The White Tiger Dagger snapped off at the base!
The shattered blade traced an arc in mid-air before disappearing into the thick fog of the swamp.
"Thud."
The bladeless hilt fell onto Medusa's collarbone.
"Who?!"
Medusa opened her eyes.
She grabbed the knife handle that had fallen onto her body, jumped up from the boulder, and angrily questioned those around her.
"Which bastard threw a knife handle at me while I was sleeping?!"
Behind the tree.
The Clown was completely stunned.
He looked at his right hand, then at the bare hilt of the knife in Medusa's hand.
"Fuck! What level of physical ability is this?!"
The Clown thought to himself, "That's the White Tiger Dagger!"
"A weapon capable of cutting through even a top-tier boss!"
"The stab actually sent her flying?! Did this woman grow up eating vibranium?!"
Just as the Clown was questioning the meaning of life...
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Footsteps approached, Medusa, carrying the knife handle, walked straight toward the withered tree where the Clown was hiding!
"We've been discovered!?"
The Clown held his breath.
That's impossible!
I used the blind spot and the cover of my breath to make sure my throwing knife motion was flawless.
How could she have located me so quickly?
Three meters...
Two meters...
One meter...
Medusa's figure had already appeared behind the tree, her oppressive aura making it almost impossible for the Clown to breathe.
Just as the Clown was preparing for a desperate last stand.
Medusa, however...
Just bypass him!
"Um?"
The Clown froze, his fist, which was halfway raised, hanging in mid-air.
Medusa didn't even glance at him; instead, she stared at the misty swamp behind him.
The Clown followed Medusa's gaze and stiffly turned his head to look.
Five figures could be seen running frantically through the thick fog on the opposite side of the swamp...
They're heading this way!
