To Liu Changxu's surprise, the two Elf Race experts showed no hostility toward him after approaching.
The Elf Race expert in the lead actually greeted him warmly in the language of the Human Race:
"Greetings, fellow Daoist of the Human Race! I am Suerde of the Elf Race, and this is Elwin! It is a pleasure to meet you here!"
"Greetings! I am Liu Changxu of the Human Race! May I ask what brings you two fellow Daoists here?"
Seeing that the two Elf Race experts bore him no ill will, Liu Changxu relaxed considerably, though he did not entirely lower his guard.
"Here is what happened. We originally intended to search the nebula for some precious high-grade materials, but in its deepest reaches, we encountered an enormous herd of Starry Sky Beasts! There were three seventh-tier Starry Sky Beasts among them. After a fierce battle, we found ourselves outmatched and fled here!
"If you are interested, fellow Daoist Liu, we could join forces against that herd of Starry Sky Beasts!
"You should know that the star remnants where those three seventh-tier Starry Sky Beasts dwell contain a seventh-tier spirit gold vein!
"As long as we drive away the herd together, we are willing to split the seventh-tier spirit gold vein in those star remnants equally with you. What do you think?"
The Elf Race expert named Suerde spoke warmly to Liu Changxu.
After hearing Suerde's account, Liu Changxu was strongly tempted.
If things really were as Suerde described, their gains would certainly be substantial, provided their joint effort succeeded.
Now, the only thing that troubled Liu Changxu was the character of these two Elf Race experts.
If they joined forces to attack him after he helped them drive off the herd of Starry Sky Beasts, things could turn ugly.
