Chapter 438: The Rioting Group of Earth Elemental Giants
Forest of Elves,
Hearing the voice of a scout ranger, many people in the team turned their eyes, but no one stepped forward to ask about the situation.
Li Si and Cecile also looked at him curiously. The ranger looked a little embarrassed, as if he had been attacked.
At this time, Elder Riccardo saw this and quickly walked out of the team, looked at the injured elf ranger and asked:
"What happened?"
"How did it get like this?"
Ricardo couldn't help but ask this, it was really strange that the Elf Ranger looked injured.
Although there didn't appear to be any obvious trauma on the outside, his whole body was covered in dust, as if he had been rolled out of a pile of sand.
Elves who always like to be clean rarely find themselves in such a mess.
And judging from the serious look on this elf ranger's face, it seemed that the danger he encountered was quite difficult.
Li Si was a little curious, but did not step forward.
Riccardo didn't seem to want to hide it from the others, so he asked the embarrassed elf ranger about the situation in person.
Although the sound was not deliberately amplified, Li Si could hear it quite clearly with his hearing.
"The earth elemental giants in the Casper Valley in front of them completely rioted for some reason."
"When we just try to get close and pass by, we will be attacked by those earth element giants."
"What, are you sure?"
Riccardo frowned and asked with a headache.
This place is already close to the Elf King's Court, and Riccardo naturally knows the situation in the Casper Valley.
Casper Valley is also a very special place in the Elf Forest. The special thing is that it is different from other places in the Elf Forest. The valley is full of strong earth element power.
The rich power of earth element means that this valley is not covered by forest. The rocks and soil are exposed in the air. From mid-air, it looks like a huge scar in the Elf Forest.
The area occupied by the Casper Valley is not small. The rich earth element makes the valley active with various monsters that rely on the earth element. Riccardo even knew that there were several copper dragons living in the Casper Valley.
However, the Casper Valley has been like this for thousands of years, and no one knows why the Casper Valley was formed.
This is a special area created by the world and nature, so the Elf Kingdom has no intention of forcibly changing the environment here.
Of course, it may also be because the Casper Valley is so large that it would take a lot of power from the elves and gods to change this area. The Navia Forest, which occupies most of the southern part of the Fanor continent, is enough for the Elf Kingdom to survive. , and I haven’t thought about other aspects.
However, a large number of earth elemental giants?
What's going on? There were indeed earth element giants wandering around in the Casper Valley before, but those earth element giants were all without intelligence. Generally speaking, they didn't attack them before, and they only attacked passing elves?
"I'm sure, Elder Riccardo."
The elf ranger said seriously.
He is also familiar with the Casper Valley. As an elf living in the Elf King's Court, he has traveled through the Casper Valley many times, but never had such a problem.
He couldn't even believe his eyes when he heard the loud noise and saw the ground in Casper Valley cracking open, and countless earth elemental giants waking up and crawling out of the ground.
Are there one hundred or two hundred earth element giants?
He has walked through the Casper Valley so many times, but he never imagined that there would be so many earth element giants in that underground area!
When he saw that scene, he wanted to retreat, but thinking that he was here to get more information this time, he tried to move forward without thinking about retreating.
But unfortunately, those earth element giants did not wake up and stretch themselves.
The earth element giants were more like being woken up from a sweet dream. Their violent auras were like people filled with the energy of waking up, and they attacked him directly.
There were too many earth element giants, and even though this elf ranger had gold-level strength, he managed to escape from them in quite a panic.
Along the way, he was covered in dust by the earth spells used by the earth element giants, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. He was just a little weak after desperately dodging.
"The number of earth element giants exceeds one hundred?"
Riccardo asked the Elf Ranger in detail about the whole process that happened in Casper Valley, and then let the other person go to rest first.
His face was a little gloomy, this turn of events made him somewhat unexpected.
To be honest, Casper Valley is almost the only way to return to the Elf King's Court from the north of the Elf Forest. If you want to take a detour, the delay will not be more than a day or two.
From here, it only takes a day or two to cross the Casper Valley and return to the Elf King's Court.
Riccardo subconsciously thought that this might be the work of the mastermind behind the scenes, but he soon became unsure.
To be honest, he couldn't figure out the meaning of doing this. Was it just to delay their trip?
With His Majesty Alves at his side, Riccardo was not worried about a sudden attack.
What's more, at this distance from the Elf King's Court, if multiple legendary powerful men really attack the team, the power of the Elf King's Court will soon be able to support them.
On the contrary, Riccardo somewhat expected that what happened in the Casper Valley was the work of the masterminds behind the scenes. If they could really seize any important clues, this team would be able to accept any loss.
Even if it's himself!
However, Riccardo didn't think too much about it now. He believed His Majesty Alves would consider this matter.
The key is whether the current changes in Casper Valley will affect the progress of the entire team.
After thinking for a moment, Riccardo called for the team's guard captain, gave a few instructions, and then left the team and rushed towards the Casper Valley.
The guards in the team became obviously nervous, and the atmosphere became a little serious.
Li Si glanced at Cecile who was also worried next to him, thought about it, and found an excuse to walk aside.
Use magic to summon a transparent little human-like reconnaissance puppet, and slowly follow behind Riccardo.
This is a special detection spell that Li Si obtained from the Great Library of Azera Floating City. Although the summoned magic puppet is extremely fragile and cannot even withstand the power of ordinary people, its greatest advantages are its mobility and extremely high aura concealment. ability.
It is also quite practical in investigation.
After returning to sit down next to Cecile, a clear picture appeared in front of Li Si's eyes.
Because Riccardo was also a gold-level mage, Lis did not get too close and followed him outside the Casper Valley from a distance.
Riccardo looked at the valley not far away with a gloomy expression. The terrain and rich earth elements were the same as before, but the difference was the originally empty center of the valley.
There are no lush trees in the valley to block the sky, no flowers to decorate it, only bare land and rugged rocks spread out, forming a desolate and magnificent scene.
The air in the valley seems to be filled with an ancient and calm atmosphere. In this seemingly empty land, only a group of earth element giants are wandering aimlessly and slowly. Their existence makes this valley It adds a bit of fantasy and majesty.
These earth element giants come in different shapes and sizes, like sons of the earth and masterpieces of nature. Their bodies are made of gray-white soil and rocks of different sizes. The jagged gravel on their bodies is both rough and full of the rhythm of life.
What's even more amazing is that among these giants, there are also several earth element giants made entirely of dark gray rocks. Their skin is covered with traces of time, and every rock seems to record an ancient story. Their aura is as majestic as a mountain, and every step they take seems to make the earth tremble.
Li Si, who was watching this scene not far away, couldn't help but be a little amazed. The several earth element giants in the valley with obviously different auras should all have reached the gold level of power.
This was very troublesome. Even Li Si couldn't think of any good way to allow the entire elf team to pass through the valley without alerting the earth element giant.
He has his own method, the simplest is to teleport through space or shadow jump through this valley.
But now it seems that Riccardo, the elf elder, does not have such a trump card.
The most important thing is, who would have thought that so many earth element giants would appear in the Casper Valley.
Riccardo observed for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, the situation was more troublesome than he thought.
At first, he thought that the elf ranger was exaggerating. If there were really so many earth elemental giants sleeping in Casper Valley, wouldn't the Elf King's Court know about it?
But now, how could there be only two hundred earth element giants in front of us?
Looking around, the rock wall on the other side of the Casper Valley, which is more than ten kilometers away, is vaguely visible. Although the earth element giants in front of us are scattered in the valley, there are definitely more than one or two hundred in number.
Riccardo just made a rough calculation and found that there were at least five hundred earth element giants.
Most of them are bronze-level and silver-level earth element giants, but there are at least twenty gold-level giants among them.
Riccardo was silent for a moment and arranged for two elf rangers to test it again.
I hope these earth element giants have dispersed and will not attack so aggressively.
But the final result was different from what Riccardo expected. As soon as the two elf rangers approached, the nearest earth elemental giant reacted and rushed towards them.
Although charging may not be appropriate, after all, the speed of the earth element giants is quite slow, but their actions seemed to disturb other giants, so that a whole area of earth element giants rushed over.
During this process, many earth element giants even continued to crawl out of the ground.
The two elf rangers turned pale, and without any thought of resistance, they quickly turned back to the cliff.
It seems that they have lost the breath of the elf rangers, and the rock giants have returned to their previous state and continue to wander in the valley.
Sure enough, you still have no wisdom and just rely on instinct?
Li Si saw this and was a little curious about what Riccardo wanted to do.
After seeing what happened, Riccardo didn't have much. He led the team along the rock wall of the valley for a few more kilometers. After leaving the area where the earth elemental giant wandered, he continued to arrange for rangers to explore the valley. .
Li Si knew what Riccardo was doing. He wanted to test whether only the earth element giant was rioting in the area just now, and other areas might be safer.
As the two elf rangers advanced, a rumble sounded throughout the valley.
In front of Li Si's eyes, the entire valley ground suddenly shattered, and more earth element giants crawled out from under the ground than before.
Seeing this, Ricardo immediately led his men away from there.
After trying two more places, Ricardo gave up trying further.
Obviously, the Elf King Court did not know that there were so many earth element giants sleeping under the Casper Valley. If the whole valley was like this, it would be a bit scary. There might even be tens of thousands or even more earth element giants sleeping here.
However, Ricardo was not worried that these earth element giants would bring danger to the Elf King Court. These unintelligent element giants basically only live in places with a high concentration of the corresponding elements and will not leave their original territory.
In that case, it won't take too long for these earth element giants to exhaust all their magic power and turn into ashes.
But the problem facing Ricardo now is how to pass through the Casper Valley.
Do we have to wait for these irritable earth element giants to calm down and return to sleep underground?
How long will that take? It's better to take a detour to avoid the Casper Valley!
What's more, the situation that made these earth element giants suddenly irritable is still unclear. What if there is a greater danger in it!
Because the elf team led by Ricardo was to protect the day elves returning to the Elf King's Court, the strength of the entire team was quite strong.
Including him, Ricardo, there were more than ten gold-level combat forces. Although the number of earth element giants was large, their huge bodies meant that only a part of the giants could attack the team at the same time.
Ricardo still had the confidence to lead the team through the Casper Valley, but he was worried about other changes.
Just when Cardo hesitated here, a voice suddenly came into his ears.
Ricardo looked determined. Since His Majesty Alvis would protect secretly, there was no need to worry.
"Let's go, go back and rest today, and cross the Casper Valley tomorrow."
Ricardo said lightly.
"Yes!"
The other elf guards said that they were all warriors trained by the Elf King's Court through thousands of hammers and received the baptism of the elven gods, so their strength was naturally good.
The earth element giants in front of them were just more in number. In terms of strength alone, they were confident that they could defeat these unintelligent beings.
Seeing this, Li Si was ready to continue exploring.
He was quite curious about the reason why these earth element giants were rioting.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of being spied on.
Li Si was startled and quickly dispersed the reconnaissance puppets.
Just a few seconds after Li Si dispersed the puppets, Alvis' figure appeared where the magic puppets were.
