Chapter 1593: Chapter 184 Mission Complete_4
The Black Dragon Little Bone returned to the Dragon’s Blood under Ah Dai’s spell, and Xuan Yue rapidly connected her Space Teleportation Formation. With a flash of light, the four of them simultaneously vanished above the territory of the Undead Fairy Qian Qian. Just after they disappeared, Qian Qian’s figure appeared once more, her almost transparent exquisite figure with hands clasped murmured, "Little sweetheart, thank you so much, wishing you all safety."
With a flash of light, Xuan Yue’s space teleportation instantly moved the magic array successfully again, Ah Dai and the others appeared in the center of the array. "Huh, why is there no one here?" Xuan Yue said in confusion.
Ah Dai also noticed the same problem. The tree house of the Elf Ancient Tree was empty, with not a single person in sight. He frowned and said, "This isn’t right! Didn’t Aunt Queen say that they would always have people guarding here? Even if they are not here, Brother Yan Shi and the others should be around! This is bad, could something have happened to the Elf Forest? Could it be that the Church of the Dark Saint launched an attack here?" At the thought of the potential catastrophic crisis for the Elf Clan, Ah Dai’s heart suddenly became anxious, and he rushed out of the tree house first. As he was carrying the Elf Bracelet, the Elf Ancient Tree naturally parted a passageway. Xuan Yue, Kino, and Olivia hurriedly followed him. When they emerged from the ancient tree and looked towards the Elf Lake, they were all shocked. By the clear waters of the Elf Lake, a large number of the Elf Clan gathered, fully armed, divided into two camps of Elf Mages and Elf Archers, all ready for battle.
Channeling the True Qi within his body, Ah Dai swiftly descended towards the shore. The elves, seeing his arrival, were clearly surprised, but soon their eyes showed expressions of excitement.
Ah Dai grabbed an elf and urgently asked, "What’s going on? Is it the Dark Forces coming to attack?"
The elf shook his head and said, "No, no one’s attacking. We’re gathered here to prepare to go into the Death Mountain Range to rescue you guys." Just as this elf answered Ah Dai’s question, the elf team dispersed to both sides, and the Elf Queen led four Grand Elf Envoys along with the Yan Shi brothers, Zhuo Yun, and Yue Ji out of the crowd. As soon as Yan Shi saw Ah Dai, he rushed over, tightly grasping his shoulders, excitedly saying, "Ah Dai, you’re finally back, we were worried sick about you. If you hadn’t returned soon, Aunt Queen was about to lead the entire Elf Clan’s army into the Death Mountain Range!" It turned out that after Ah Dai and the others left, everyone had been anxiously waiting, nothing significant happened on the first day, but by the second day, they began getting restless. The danger of the Death Mountain Range had left a deep impression on them. After not seeing Ah Dai and the others for two days, they already started overthinking, extremely worried about their safety. By the third day, Yue Ji couldn’t bear it any longer and insisted on going to the Death Mountain Range herself to find Ah Dai and the others, but Yan Shi wouldn’t let her go, barely managing to stop her. Early today, the Elf Queen had resolutely decided to lead all the clansmen to storm the Death Mountain Range. Ah Dai, to the Elf Clan, was a savior known for his kindness to the entire clan, and although the survival of the Elf Clan was very important, to repay Ah Dai’s kindness, the Elf Queen couldn’t care less. Just as the troops had gathered and were ready to set off, they received the good news of Ah Dai’s safe return and hurried to the Elf Lake.
Feeling the strong friendship from Yan Shi towards himself, Ah Dai’s eyes couldn’t help but get wet, "Thank you, thank you all. Big Brother, Aunt Queen, Ah Dai really doesn’t know what to say."
The Elf Queen smiled and said, "There’s nothing you need to say, I understand everything, Ah Dai, no matter when, the Elf Clan is supporting you, you can rest assured." Turning her head towards Audi, she said, "Grand Elf Envoy, please arrange for everyone to return to their posts, the action of heading into the Death Mountain Range is canceled." Upon hearing they didn’t have to head to the Death Mountain Range, all the elves cheered, as peace-loving as they were, they wouldn’t want to engage in battles with others.
Ah Dai and the others, led by the Elf Queen, returned to the Elf Ancient Tree. As soon as they sat down, Yan Shi impatiently asked, "Ah Dai, how did your journey go this time?"
Ah Dai smiled and said, "The results of this journey are okay, we’ve already reached the seventh trial of the Twelve Trials of the Undead, and you can say we’ve successfully passed the first seven trials." Then, he recounted the journey in detail. After listening to Ah Dai’s narration, Yan Shi seemed a bit worried, sighed, and said, "Ah Dai, have you considered, although you said we’ve passed the first seven trials, when the human Allied Forces come here, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to get through. After all, among human experts, there are probably very few who possess the ability to fly. Facing those fearless Undead Creatures can only mean fighting head-on, eliminating them wave by wave, stepping over their corpses to penetrate deep into the Mountain Range of Undead. When reaching the seventh trial you mentioned, the losses might be more significant than you can currently imagine."
Ah Dai mused for a moment, nodded, and said, "Big Brother is right, crossing the Death Mountain Range successfully is indeed not an easy task. Apart from the first trial that can be eliminated with Light Magic, starting from the second trial, the Skeletons are already tough to handle. The most feared is their regenerative ability, unless it’s a high-level Martial Artist or Magician, it’s challenging to completely damage their bodies. Facing Zombies, Undead Spiders, or even Rotten Dragons, it might be even harder to pass."
Xuan Yue smiled faintly and said, "You don’t need to worry so much, although the Death Mountain Range is terrifying, don’t forget, our Church has existed on the continent for over a thousand years. Some things are beyond your imagination, so leave them to us. When we meet grandfather, the Pope, he’s bound to come up with a strategy. Saving the continent, our Church is the absolute main force."
Yan Shi smiled and said, "Since Yue Yue has such confidence in the Church, then I have nothing more to say. Alright, let’s set off tomorrow. I think here’s the plan: Yue Yue, you return directly to the Church, Ah Dai goes back to the Tian Gang Sword Sect, we brothers return to the Pu Yan tribe, Vila returns to the Mage Guild on the continent, Kino returns to the Tian Jing Mage Guild. We use the fastest speed to deliver the news back home. Then promptly gather the army, and after meeting at the Church’s Divine Mountain, return here and engage in a decisive battle with the Church of the Dark Saint."
Upon hearing Yan Shi’s words, Xuan Yue looked a bit troubled and said, "But, I don’t want to be separated from Ah Dai! I want to go with him to the Tian Gang Sword Sect."
Seeing Xuan Yue’s downcast beautiful face, Ah Dai felt warmth in his heart. He knew Yue Yue feared he might get hurt during the competition with the Three Great Sword Saints. He smiled and said, "Yue Yue, we don’t need to separate! It’s still over twenty days until the Four Great Sword Saints competition, and the distance between the Church and Tian Gang Mountain isn’t far. How about this? I’ll accompany you back to the Church first, report the news here to Grandfather Pope, and then rush back to the Tian Gang Sword Sect. Anyway, even if our Tian Gang Sword Sect participates in this action, it will surely be after the Four Great Sword Saints competition ends."
Xuan Yue immediately turned from worry to happiness, holding Ah Dai’s big hand and said, "Great! Let’s settle on that, you mustn’t go back on your word."
Ah Dai pinched Xuan Yue’s cute little nose, smiled, and said, "When have I not followed through on what I said to you? How about this, let’s rest here with Aunt Queen tonight, and tomorrow morning, we’ll set off immediately. The key battle for mankind is about to begin, and I believe, with our united strength, we will certainly be able to crush the Church of the Dark Saint’s conspiracy and restore peace to the continent." With that, after bidding farewell to the Elf Queen, the group returned to the lake-side tree house. The Elf Queen sent a large quantity of fresh and delicious fruits for them, and after a feast, everyone went into meditation and the state of reflection. Successfully probing the headquarters of the Church of the Dark Saint without any personnel injured, their mood was exceptionally good.
