Chapter 403 The Elf Squad's Attack

At the edge of the Elf Forest,

Tall trees tower over the sky, forming a dense green sky. The trees have thick branches and dense crowns, as if they are the guardians of nature, standing quietly on this ancient land.

The sun shines through the layers of leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery to the forest. The breeze blows, the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, accompanied by the faint crisp and melodious bird songs, like the music of nature, making people intoxicated.

Going deep into the heart of the forest, it seems to have stepped into a dream forgotten by time. The ground under your feet is no longer hard soil or stone, but a thick, soft green carpet. This is a natural carpet interwoven by mosses and lichens accumulated over countless years, densely spread out, soft and elastic.

The Elf Forest is located in the south of the Fanor continent. It does not have obvious changes throughout the year like the Kingdom of Fez, so this forest is evergreen all year round and is a common shelter for all creatures in it.

However, this forest is not as damp and dark as the tropical rainforest in Li Si's previous life. The trees are relatively clear and do not affect others passing by.

Li Si jumped down from a dead and fallen tree trunk and reached out to help Cecil.

Cecil is now wearing a light brown leather armor, with a small leather bag across her back. If she adds a longbow, she is basically an elf ranger.

However, Cecil's pale face at this time shows her poor physical strength.

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

"Cecil, why did you choose to go through the Elf Forest?"

"It would be easier to take a carriage along the main road inside the kingdom."

Li Si asked, looking at Cecil's somewhat unstable steps.

"Ha~"

Cecil took a small breath and nodded.

Sitting down against a thick tree, taking a sip from the backpack, Cecil finally recovered.

"I think it might be safer this way."

Cecil nodded slightly after catching her breath and said:

"Although I don't want to believe the elder of Ilisel, the messenger said that someone would attack people with the blood of the sun elves, so he asked me to rush to the Kingdom of Bolin."

"Although I don't know who will attack me, it's safer in the Elf Forest than in the Human Kingdom, right?"

"What's more, it's shorter to go directly through the Elf Forest."

"Okay."

Li Si nodded uncertainly.

To be honest, Cecil's choice is not a problem.

Although the Kingdom of Bolin is connected to the Kingdom of Valentine, in fact, the two countries are only connected by the border territory in the north, and most of the area in the middle is the Elf Forest.

As a city close to the Elf Forest, Nelin City will take more time to detour from the outside of the Elf Forest.

So even if Li Si and Cecil choose to walk through the Elf Forest, the time can be greatly reduced.

With Cecil's current strength, it is impossible to use flying for a long time, and it will consume a lot of magic power in the body. When traveling long distances, it is dangerous when the magic power is insufficient and encounters danger.

However, Li Si is not in a hurry and does not want to help Cecil arrive at the Kingdom of Bolin in advance.

With his strength, although he has not left the space coordinates in the Kingdom of Bolin, he can try a few more times through non-directional space transmission.

Anyway, after Li Si's special training by Teacher Stephens and the retreat in the floating city of Azera, his control of his various abilities has been raised to a new level.

Although he has mastered a large number of complex expertise and skills before, to be honest, Li Si's control and use of various abilities have not reached a mature level.

During this period of experience investment and running-in training, although Li Si's personal level has not improved much, his strength in frontal combat has indeed been significantly improved.

However, Li Si is still waiting for those who may attack Cecil to take action, if there are really those people?

"By the way, it's been a long time since I went back to the Elf Forest!"

Cecil took a deep breath and felt the fresh air in the forest.

"This is my first time in the Elf Forest. It's really a different feeling."

Li Si leaned against the trunk of a big tree and nodded. In the past few days since entering the Elf Forest, he felt that the air seemed to be filled with the breath of life, and his whole body was much more relaxed.

Although the game character controlled by Li Si in his previous life had also been to the Elf Forest, and the full simulation state had a similar feeling, this feeling was more like the relaxation of the soul, as if immersed in the ocean of life.

The only pity seems to be that this is the edge of the Elf Forest, closer to where humans live.

The beasts and birds here seem to have seen the greed of those poachers and are hiding from Li Si.

"Ah? Is that so?"

Cecil looked at Li Si with green eyes, a little puzzled.

"But I clearly feel that Mr. Li Si is very skilled in the Elf Forest, even more familiar with it than an elf like me."

"Maybe it's because I've been to the forest in the north of Fanol Continent before and have some experience."

Cecil was not complimenting Li Si, but she really felt so.

Since she asked her father to take her away from the Elf King's Court, in order to avoid causing trouble to her father, she deliberately chose the more remote Nelin City, and she rarely even went out.

As a gem inlay artist, she concentrates on her beloved work and guards her own little happiness.

Although she has been away from the Elf Forest for a long time, as an elf, she is still confident in her performance in the forest.

But Li Si is obviously more adapted to this forest than her. Although as a warrior, his physical strength is indeed much stronger than her as a mage, the gap should not be so big, right?

What's more, he has seen some of Li Si's little tricks in the forest.

Even with the elf's natural agility and the action bonus in the forest, Li Si still looks relaxed when she is out of breath.

"This doesn't count"

Shh~Bang!

Before the voice fell, an arrow broke through the air.

A long sword flashing with cold light appeared in Li Si's hand in an instant, and the long arrow shot at him was shot down.

Looking at the arrow that fell at his feet, Li Si frowned slightly.

Sharp triangular arrowhead, black ironwood arrow shaft, emerald green arrow feathers.

This is the arrow often used by the elf ranger!

What's going on?

However, the force from the arrow just now should be only from a silver-level elf ranger.

"What's going on?"

Cecil realized it at this time, and quickly stood up, took out an emerald staff from the storage ring, and held it tightly in his hand.

"Is it an attacker?"

With a slight bow, Cecil observed the situation around him vigilantly.

Li Si looked at Cecil's stall. The staff in her hand was very similar to the emerald staff he used, and it should also be a high-level golden staff.

However, looking at Cecil's nervous look, she seemed to be a pure novice, more awkward than when Li Si and Lisa first met.

She didn't even realize that the attack was the arrow used by the elves.

"I don't know, come closer to me."

Li Si said to Cecil.

In his perception, there were three figures approaching him and Cecil quickly, and it was obvious from the breath that they were all elves.

But the elf who shot the arrow to attack him did not come over, but stayed in the distance, and seemed to continue aiming at Li Si.

Why did he suddenly attack me?

Li Si was a little curious, but he didn't feel any threat.

After all, judging from the aura of these elves in front of him, they were all silver-level professionals, and they were not even a problem for Li Si now.

Generally speaking, even if the elves are hostile to outsiders entering the Elf Forest, even if the relationship between the elves and humans is tense, they will not attack as soon as they meet, right?

Could it be that

Li Si glanced at Cecil beside him and had a guess in his mind.

Before Cecil could react, three figures had appeared in front of Li Si and Cecil.

Two figures quickly attacked Li Si, and another figure quickly rushed towards Cecil.

Li Si frowned and looked at the female elf rushing towards Cecil. Although he had a guess about their purpose, it did not mean that he would let these elves act.

After all, from the current situation, there is no guarantee that those who attacked Cecil did not include elves.

Li Si did not want the hard-earned clues to be broken.

Huh!

Li Si took out a round shield from the storage ring and smashed it at the female elf that rushed towards Cecil, and a violent sound of breaking through the air broke out.

"What?"

Erza's face changed drastically. As an elf ranger, she had never seen such an attack method.

Before she even touched it, she had already felt the terrifying force of the shield that broke through the air.

What was going on?

In an instant, she lost the courage to take the shield, and her body quickly jumped back to avoid Li Si's attack.

Bang!

The shield slammed into the ground not far away, raising a piece of green and black moss and soil debris, and the huge sound even startled a group of birds flying in the distant forest.

Li Si did not chase the retreating elf ranger. Li Si faced the remaining two elf professionals head-on.

The remaining two elves were both male, and Li Si's eyesight quickly confirmed their professions.

An elf warrior wearing dark green armor, holding a slender sword in his hand.

Unlike the strong human warriors, the elves' warriors are more agile. They prefer to study exquisite combat skills and win battles through skilled combat techniques.

Even so, warriors are quite rare among the elves. I didn't expect to meet one here.

The other one is a bald monk wearing a single piece of clothing, with his hands folded, without any weapons.

To be honest, even the handsome elves are a little ugly without hair, but they have that special temperament.

As if they saw Li Si's attack just now, the two people who attacked Li Si looked serious and alert but did not stop attacking.

"Ah!"

Cecil noticed the situation in front of her and prepared in a hurry.

The magic light of the staff in her hand flashed, and Li Si, who was standing in front of him, felt several buff spells applied to him.

But the buff was a little insignificant for him.

After all, for his current attribute values, the buff spells cast by the silver mage were a bit ordinary.

Li Si didn't care. He leaped forward and pointed the sword in his hand directly at the elf warrior who was attacking him.

With his overwhelming attribute advantage over the silver-level, his actions seemed to be suspended in the eyes of the two people, and he appeared in front of them in an instant.

Clang~

A buzzing sound rang out in the forest, and Li Si's long sword directly slashed on the rapier in the hands of the elf warrior.

As if unable to withstand the force, the rapier in his hand was directly broken into two pieces.

Before the elf warrior Pedros could be surprised, he felt an irresistible force coming from the front of him, and his body suddenly flew backwards.

Hula la~

Pedros directly broke the big tree behind him, and the fallen tree canopy wrapped his whole body.

Because he didn't know the intentions of these elves, Li Si also held back, and the elf warrior was only paralyzed for a while at most.

If Li Si had used all his strength, this handsome elf might have turned into meat paste in an instant.

The elf monk Gadry noticed the situation of his companions, and his nerves were stretched to the limit.

At this moment, he had realized the horror of the man in front of him, and he and his friends had no chance to fight back in front of him.

There was no real breath from this person. Could he be a gold-level warrior?

Why would a gold-level warrior appear here to capture elves? Could he be one of the notorious slave-hunting teams?

Although he realized the situation, he could not retreat.

His companions were all here, and the elves' pride made him unable to abandon his companions and run away like a coward.

He could only hope that Colette would find something wrong during the time he had, and that Lord Valdivia could come as soon as possible.

Gadry pushed his hands forward, ready to use the monk's skills to control Li Si in front of him.

Gadry, who was mobilizing his internal strength, found that Li Si, who had just kicked Pedros away, suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed his hands with his left hand, and grabbed his hands tightly.

Before he could resist, a huge force directly grabbed his hands and pressed them against his joints.

Gadry wanted to struggle, but found that the white palms of the man in front of him were like half of the steel that had been hammered and tempered, leaving him no room for resistance at all.

"Um"

Gadry knelt on the ground with a pale face and knees in pain.

"Hmm?"

Li Si noticed the threat coming from behind, and stabbed the long sword in his right hand backwards.

Elf Ranger Erza dodged Li Si's attack in a panic, clenching her teeth.

Like Pedros, she now had no confidence in winning, and just wanted to buy more time for her remaining companions.

She tilted her head slightly to avoid the arrows shot from a distance.

With a turn of his right hand, he hit the back of the monk Gadri's neck with the hilt of his sword.

Gadri's body softened, and as soon as Li Si let go, he collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Erza who was on guard in front of him, Li Si shrugged and said with a smile:

"I think you must have made a mistake."

Li Si pointed to Cecil behind him and said:

"Didn't you notice that she is not the elf slave I caught."
