Great Golden Roc Appears

Demon Hunter Yudian slowly swept his gaze across the battlefield, his mind constantly turning things over.

As the most talented prince of the Night Elf faction in Warcraft World, Yudian possessed a meticulous mind beyond that of ordinary people. It was just that in his previous life, for the sake of friendship and love, he had knowingly done things that felt somewhat wrong while pretending not to notice.

But unwillingness to expose something did not mean he failed to understand it.

It seems that so-called Level 7 magical beast, the Great Golden Roc, is nearly out of patience!

However, the relationship between these Level 7 magical beasts is probably not very harmonious. The Great Golden Roc should have been isolated by the Purple Savage Elephant and the Tong Ape. Given its strength, it should be at a disadvantage, yet they keep attacking this place without end. This proves that the aura emitted by the Ancient Tree of Life holds an enormous attraction for them.

That is why the Great Golden Roc is desperately trying to seize it before the other two Level 7 magical beasts can get the upper hand. Those two Level 7 magical beasts must have guessed its intentions, which is why they deliberately delayed their attacks, hoping to let both sides wear down each other's strength. They must be extremely confident in their own power to come up with such a plan. It seems one of those two beasts possesses no small amount of intelligence.

Unfortunately, they have no idea that the Night Elf faction grows continuously through battle. The longer they drag this out, the more Night Elves we will have, and the stronger we will become. Even the one who devised this plan probably never expected that!

Still, the Great Golden Roc must have completely run out of patience by now. What a shame—I made one wrong move. If I had stalled those two Level 6 magical beasts earlier instead of killing them outright with thunderous force, perhaps the Great Golden Roc would not have appeared so soon!

Demon Hunter Yudian frowned regretfully. Clearly, he regretted being too rash just now, but his brow soon relaxed. The situation was now too urgent for delay. He had to be ready at any moment for a sudden attack from the Great Golden Roc.

Screech!

A long, furious cry rang throughout the forest, causing quite a few Level 4 magical beasts to collapse trembling onto the ground. Their bodies did not dare move in the slightest, and they did not even try to evade the Night Elf archers' arrows.

More than ten magical beasts were immediately shot dead, making the Purple Savage Elephant and the Tong Ape rage uncontrollably.

"That old bird did that on purpose! Otherwise, why were those flying birds completely unaffected?" the Tong Ape cursed, his voice full of irritation and indignation at the Great Golden Roc's actions.

"Forget about him. I truly did not expect the elf guards protecting this life aura to be so powerful. Even those Level 6 birds were killed. It seems this life treasure really is extraordinary. Judging by its aura, that one hovering in the air seems to be only Level 4. How could it possibly unleash such powerful attacks?" The Purple Savage Elephant was not too enraged, but it felt a vague unease in its heart.

"Maybe this is the power of that life treasure!" the Tong Ape said excitedly. "And look at how many of them there are. That proves there is definitely more than one treasure! Haha, we have struck it rich this time!"

"Perhaps." The Purple Savage Elephant spoke quietly, its gaze returning to the distant battlefield.

Has it come? Hearing the lofty bird cry, Demon Hunter Yudian sighed inwardly. It seemed the Great Golden Roc truly could not endure any longer and had come to act personally.

I must be careful. The three Level 7 magical beasts may have deliberately revealed their discord to guide our thinking. Perhaps they are merely trying to confuse us and make us lower our guard, then send the Great Golden Roc to confront me head-on while the other two wait for a chance to ambush us. If that is the case...

At that thought, a layer of cold sweat had already formed on Demon Hunter Yudian's forehead.

If that is true, then the magical beast that came up with this plan is far too terrifying!

No matter what, this battle must go on. Whether it is a scheme or not, I have to withstand the Great Golden Roc. Otherwise, the damage it inflicts upon the Night Elf faction will be simply too horrifying!

No matter what, he had to hold on!

With that thought, Demon Hunter Yudian rose into the air once more, and raging flames ignited around him again.

At that moment, a gigantic golden bird soared into the sky. Wherever its cold and arrogant gaze fell, every magical beast trembled and dared not move. Only then did it nod in satisfaction. Looking at the calm-faced Demon Hunter Yudian, it spoke.

"Hey, you in front!"

"Huh?" Not only Demon Hunter Yudian, but even Huang Long was somewhat surprised. He had not expected the Great Golden Roc before them to speak the language of the Night Elf faction from Warcraft. Since Huang Long had inherited the Night Elf faction's legacy, he was as familiar with the Night Elf language as he was with the Huaxia language.

"What is it?" Seeing that the Great Golden Roc actually wished to speak with him, Demon Hunter Yudian did not refuse. Time was what he lacked most right now, and with such a good opportunity before him, he naturally would not waste it.

"I know that creatures like you, who look almost the same as humans, are called elves," said the Great Golden Roc.

"That is right. We are peace-loving elves. Our people are stationed here, and we have always kept to our own affairs. Why have you attacked us, sir?" Demon Hunter Yudian sneered. He was speaking entirely against his conscience. Before Huang Long awakened, he had killed who knew how many magical beasts; even after Yudian awakened, they had killed four Level 6 magical beasts.

"Elf, you should know how captivating the thing you guard is, and how much humans, creatures, and magical beasts who worship power desire to possess it. Rest assured, if you hand over what you are guarding, I will order my subordinates to stop attacking immediately. I will even help you resist the other enemies. What do you say?" The Great Golden Roc had unexpectedly used not only a conciliatory tactic, but threats and inducements as well.

How does it know we are elves? Are there elves in this world too? And what are we supposedly guarding? What a mess. It seems I need to learn more about this continent. Huang Long frowned slightly after hearing the Great Golden Roc's baffling words.

After hearing the Great Golden Roc, Demon Hunter Yudian sneered. At the same time, his icy words spread throughout the entire sea of trees.

"I do not care what you want. In short, one sentence: no one is allowed to touch anything belonging to the Night Elf faction!"
