Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 873 - 795: Secrets of the Elf Race

"Haha, turns out it’s just a paper tiger, tough on the outside but empty on the inside. Have another arrow!"

Having found success with one shot, Banana wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity and immediately fired another arrow. This time, the arrow carried a spiraling force, streaking straight towards the black tree spirit.

"Snap."

Willow branches fluttered, acting like fierce whips, coiling around the arrow with force and unraveling its spiral power, snapping the shaft into several pieces, which fell to the ground.

Even the long arrow stuck in the tree trunk was effortlessly pulled out by the willow branches and tossed aside.

"Damn, how did it suddenly get so fierce?!"

Seeing his move easily countered by the BOSS, Banana felt extremely frustrated.

"Don’t be careless, this guy is of no low rank!"

Su Ran couldn’t let Banana continue to mess around and hurriedly reminded him. Without time to hesitate, he started examining the black tree spirit’s skill attributes, but to his disappointment, the gap in levels between him and the BOSS was too great to glean any information.

"I owe my freedom to you guys, It’s a pity to kill you now; I’ll let you live a bit longer. But on another note, how did a human and an elf come together?"

The black tree spirit didn’t get angry over Banana’s consecutive attacks. Having just gained its freedom, it was clearly in a good mood, even curious enough to ask questions. "Elf lad, how could you ignore the ancient teachings of the elves? Aren’t you afraid of the Elven Queen’s punishment?"

"What’s it to you if we’re together!"

Banana didn’t give the black tree spirit any kind face, leveling his golden bow. But before he could even nock an arrow, Su Ran stopped him.

"Don’t rush into action, this might be a quest BOSS. We could probably get some useful quest clues from it."

After whispering to Banana, Su Ran took a step forward, locking eyes with the black tree spirit, cleared his throat, and then said solemnly, "The two of us together, it’s just like love."

"Ugh..."

Banana and the tree spirit both vomited.

"Er, just a joke, was it that exaggerated?"

Scratching his head, Su Ran then continued, "That willow monster, how do you know about the elven ancestral teachings? And why were you sealed here? Tell us your tragic past; we could use a good laugh."

"Overturning Water, why do I feel the urge to punch you when you talk like that?"

Banana felt exasperated; if that comment had been directed at him, he would’ve shot an arrow right through Su Ran’s mouth!

To Banana’s surprise, the tree spirit BOSS wasn’t angered by his words. It looked somewhat absent-minded, obviously lost in memories.

"I am a Black Elf."

The tree spirit’s revelation stunned both Su Ran and Banana.

"Nonsense, how could the elf clan have an outcast like you? You even tried to harm me, a true elf, utterly disgracing our clan!"

Banana immediately retorted, unwilling to believe and nearly jumped up and down in a fury.

"Let it finish, there’s a story here."

Su Ran suddenly perked up; he loved gossip like this, especially hearing about an opponent’s miserable experiences—it was simply too delightful.

"The face of the elf clan? Haha, hahahahaha!"

The tree spirit burst out laughing as if it had heard the joke of the century, its laughter tinged with madness and a hint of anger.

From the laughter, Su Ran sensed something fishy; there was definitely a shady story between this tree spirit and the elf clan. Eyes gleaming, he waited for it to continue.

"The elf clan has already declined to the point of near extinction, what face do they have left?!"

"And still trying to maintain that shred of dignity? How ironic!"

Enraged, the tree spirit’s willow branches thrashed wildly, like serpents twisting and turning, their momentum unparalleled.

"So what if you are a true elf? You still only scrape by in this world! This is the domain of gods and demons—what are the elves in comparison?!"

"You!"

Just as Banana was about to snap back, he realized that the tree spirit was stating facts, leaving him speechless and causing him to angrily shake his golden bow.

"Besides, as a dark elf exiled from my clan, what do I care about the rise and fall, honor, and disgrace of the elf race?"

The tree spirit recalled that dark history, its anger surging. Its massive roots drilled into the ground, rampaging wildly; the earth developed cracks, with the very land trembling, showing just how formidable the pent-up rage of the tree spirit was.

Exiled from the elf race?

Su Ran quickly noted this down as crucial knowledge not to be missed.

"No wonder, kid, you can’t even maintain your elven form, only surviving in this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance. What’s the use even if you break the seal? Living is just wasting air. Might as well give me your blood, contribute some experience and gear, and I can remember the good you did, maybe erect a monument for you in Elf Forest, like leaves returning to their roots."

Banana finally found an opportunity and mocked the dark elf mercilessly, probably because he was annoyed by the continual smearing of the elf race by this BOSS.

"You, kid, you won’t be satisfied until you provoke this BOSS to death, will you? Be careful—this BOSS could go mad, mutate, and then it might be the end for both of us!"

The words from Banana stunned Su Ran—was there anything too reckless to say? If they pushed too far, wouldn’t they just be asking for trouble?

"Leaves returning to their roots? Haha, what a joke!"

The dark tree spirit let out a long laugh, its voice echoing through the air, causing ripples and continuous loud booms.

"Elf Forest has become Cursed Land, even if it were given to me for free, I wouldn’t want it!"

"Ah, I see, well-informed, aren’t we? Even sealed here, you still know the news from Elf Forest, indeed impressive!" freēnovelkiss.com

Banana said in surprise, finding that this dark tree spirit was too cunning to be duped.

"So, you experienced the curse cast upon Elf Forest?"

While battle had not yet begun, Su Ran deliberately asked this crucial question—these were precious knowledge points, and any bit of information could be a bonus!

"Hahaha, I wish I hadn’t! This ghostly appearance is the result of the curse’s corruption!"

Corrupted by the curse?

Incapable of lifting it after so many years?

Could Elf Forest really harbor such a vicious curse?

Su Ran was shocked. He would have to be extra careful when venturing into Elf Forest in the future; what if the curse turned him into a woman? Wouldn’t that be utterly humiliating?

"Have you entered the sacred area?"

Banana seemed to think of something, his expression becoming somewhat frantic.

"Hahaha, you know quite a lot, kid, even about the sacred area! How could this curse have erupted if I hadn’t ventured into that forbidden place?"

The dark tree spirit laughed heartily, the laughter brimming with willful abandon and wild arrogance.

"So it was you who released the Ghost Clan. With scum like you around, the elf race has truly been cursed for eight generations!"

Banana shouted angrily, accusing on the spot.

Wow, now that’s some explosive news!

Su Ran pulled a coffin from beneath himself, sat down on top, chewed on some grave grass, and watched the commotion unfold.
