In the blink of an eye, he felt a sensation in his feet.
Ji Chen looked around, finding himself amidst a lush forest, and there were no trolls or other creatures in sight.
He waited quietly and noticed that the runic arrow hadn’t followed him. He let out a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the void ring on his finger,
Moments ago, realizing the runic arrow had locked onto him and was hard to evade conventionally, he decisively activated the void ring’s ability.
[?Teleportation (Immediately teleport to any location within ten kilometers, cooldown time: 30 minutes)]
For safety, he teleported to a spot ten kilometers away, evading the attack.
Now, it appeared that the tracking range of that runic arrow was smaller than the teleportation range of the void ring.
Recalling the terrifying moments just now, Ji Chen still felt a lingering fear.
Who were these masked deceivers?
They not only possessed a significant arsenal of war weaponry under control but also had such terrifying runic arrows.
However, it seemed that there was only one runic arrow like that; otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited until the end to use it.
But he needed to be more cautious with these people; otherwise, being shot unexpectedly would lead to a disaster.
He temporarily suppressed these thoughts.
Right now, Alice and Benbo should still be fighting the trolls, and he needed to return quickly to oversee the situation.
Ji Chen glanced at his surroundings and walked swiftly in the direction of the swamp.
He moved swiftly through the forest.
Soon, he returned to the swamp.
The battle here seemed to be nearing its end.
The Crown of the Ocean’s army was chasing down the remaining mountain trolls.
What surprised him was that among the pursuing group, there were hundreds of elves.
These fully armed elves moved with great agility, exuding an imposing aura.
Even in the muddy swamp, they moved as if on solid ground, using their bows and arrows to take down enemies, targeting vital areas.
Most of the fleeing trolls were felled by them.
Among them, the burly male elves with broadswords were particularly conspicuous. They wielded their massive swords like windmills, making the towering trolls cry out in despair.
Upon closer inspection, wasn’t that lead elf Kris?
At the same time, Alice and the others quickly spotted Ji Chen’s figure. Joy lit up their faces as they hurried over, and Benbo and the other heroes did the same.
Alice walked up, looked around, and asked with concern, “Lord, are you okay?”
Ji Chen waved his hand with a smile, “What’s the situation now? Where did those masked individuals go?”
“After you disappeared, Lady Kris and the others arrived just in time to provide support. Those masked enemies promptly left with their companions’ bodies.
The troll leader did the same, abandoning his subordinates and fleeing with a few personal guards.
Due to other trolls blocking us, we couldn’t keep them here. 1 hope you won’t punish us for this.”
“It’s not your fault.” Ji Chen shook his head. “If we had pursued recklessly, we might have fallen into their trap again. What you did was already commendable.”
He was now quite wary of this group of mysterious individuals.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Rushing into battle without understanding the enemy would be foolish.
Moreover, the Crown of the Ocean’s forces had suffered significant casualties, making pursuit difficult.
At this moment, it seemed that the elves had cleared the remaining mountain trolls and, led by Kris, approached.
Seeing that Ji Chen was safe, Kris showed a relieved smile.
“Lord Ji Chen, it’s a relief that you’re unharmed.
1 almost thought you were taken out by their Godslayer Crossbow, and we elves would lose a potential partner.”
Ji Chen smiled confidently and then asked with some curiosity, “How did you end up here?”
“Just three days ago, our hidden scouts noticed that the mountain trolls, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly became active, moving in groups towards this area.
Considering that you had entered this region not long ago, 1 guessed that your presence might be the reason for the mountain trolls’ resurgence. So I consulted Lord Brett and brought soldiers here to assist you.”
Kris looked at the battlefield strewn with corpses and sighed, “Although I feel that even if we hadn’t come, you would have dealt with these deceivers.”
“Do you know who those masked individuals, the deceivers, are?”
“Of course.” Kris nodded, “They are a group of fanatics who hate all divine races and those with divine blood.”
“Hate all divine races and those with divine blood?”
There were such extremist elements?
This world had seen many gods walking among mortals, such as the Naga God, Dwarven God, God of Wealth, and Gnome God. The races they once ruled were also known as divine races.
It can be said that various races in the world have some connection to divine beings to varying degrees.
Take the elves themselves, for instance; they worship the Elven Mother Goddess. Doesn’t that mean they have an affinity with most races, including elves?
Who are these Deceivers, and why are they so audacious?
“That’s right,” Kris said with some apprehension. “But this isn’t the place to discuss these matters. Let’s save it for when we return to Maple City..”
