Chapter 1005: Chapter 924: The Efficacy of the Immortal Divine Wood

Looking at the stagnant water before him, connecting somehow to the sacred Earth Spirit Spring, Su Ran found it difficult to accept this harsh reality.

But when he recalled the words once spoken to him by the Elf Queen—that the Earth Spirit Spring had been polluted by the Ghost Clan— who could have imagined that the pollution would be this severe? It was almost unbearable to witness.

"Wen Liu, that bastard, dared to release the Ghost Clan, and I trusted him so much!"

The bald Elf’s voice was filled with regret and annoyance; it wasn’t hard to hear that the calamity was inextricably linked to his own undeniable responsibility.

"Senior, please rest assured, I’ve already eradicated Wen Liu; there will no longer be such a person!"

Su Ran had finally picked up on this Black Elf’s attitude toward Wen Liu and hurriedly stated his own stance. Perhaps, he could even ask this NPC for some recognition of his efforts!

"What?"

Upon hearing this explosive piece of news, the bald Elf was stunned, eyeing Su Ran with a skeptical look, "You managed to kill that Black Elf?"

"I’ve obtained the Elf Life Box."

Su Ran said calmly, believing the bald Elf before him would understand his implication.

"Haha, good death, a very good death! Wen Liu, what’s the use of living a whole life if, in the end, it amounts to nothing?"

After confirming this fact, the bald Elf laughed like a madman. Wen Liu’s death gave him great satisfaction, but more than that, it was a release. The reason for this emotion, however, was known only to him.

Su Ran remained silent, patiently waiting for the Black Elf to vent the frustration that had built up over many years. Once he let out the repressed feelings, his mood would certainly improve; this was human nature, of course, and it would also benefit the unfolding of the story.

"Hoo."

The bald Elf exhaled a turbid breath trapped in his chest and then spoke to Su Ran with an appreciative tone, "Skeleton Warrior, you have eliminated a great scourge for the Elf Race, and the friendship of the Elf Race will always be with you!"

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton Warrior for earning the friendship of the Black Elf Fandi, rewarded with 10,000 experience points!"

The system prompt came at the right time, exciting Su Ran just a tad.

That was close; I almost sided with the wrong team. Luckily, I reacted in time to turn the situation around. This experience reward is an acknowledgment of my actions.

However, through this event, Su Ran had come to realize that this Black Elf before him was indeed loyal to the Elf Race, which was evident from his treatment of Wen Liu.

"Skeleton Warrior, about that Elf Life Box..."

Upon learning of Wen Liu’s death, the mood of the Black Elf Fandi had notably improved, and he coveted that precious artifact of the Elf Race.

"It has already been handed over. There’s no use keeping it for myself; better to exchange it for some tangible rewards."

Su Ran said evasively, choosing not to reveal the whole truth to the NPC. If the NPC wanted to read more into it, he couldn’t blame Su Ran.

"What a pity, such a pity!"

The Black Elf Fandi showed a forlorn expression, sighing, "Just a step too late, missing an opportunity of a lifetime!"

Such behavior from the Black Elf did not surprise Su Ran. Every member of the Elf Race coveted the Elf Life Box; after all, such a superior auxiliary tool was far more practical to an Elf than even a God-Demon Device! fгeewebnovёl.com

"Well, such fortune cannot be forced."

The dark elf Fandi touched his shiny bald head and was quite straightforward, "Skeleton Warrior, I’ve brought you here this time to ask for your help in purifying this land. Since the Elf Forest has already been purified, you must not overlook this elf sanctuary."

"What?"

Upon hearing the content of this task, Su Ran felt baffled and didn’t know how to respond. It should be known that the credit for purifying the Elf Forest all belonged to the Elf Queen. He at best only delivered a seed of hope. What ability did he have to purify a space?

Wasn’t this asking too much of him, deliberately making things difficult?

"Senior, there might be some misunderstanding. I am but an Undead skeleton; I possess no capability for purification. All this was personally accomplished by the Elf Queen. You should ask Her Majesty for help; I believe she can easily resolve the current predicament."

Su Ran dared not blindly accept such a task. Should he fail to complete it, it would truly be embarrassing. At this moment, he remembered the terrifying technique of the Elf Queen scattering flowers from the heavens; dealing with this small sanctuary would surely be easy and pleasant for her!

"Her?"

The dark elf Fandi snorted disdainfully, "Rely on her? Then we wouldn’t consider this a restricted area!"

"Hmm?"

Su Ran’s eyebrows twitched, not expecting there to be hidden details. He no longer dared to interject, quietly waiting for the dark elf to continue speaking.

"Skeleton Warrior, you don’t need to make excuses in front of me. Being able to trigger the Gale Array has already proven that you possess the treasure that is the Immortal Divine Wood!"

The dark elf said confidently, looking at Su Ran with an intense gaze, "Only with the Divine Wood present can our Spirit Spring be fully restored to its original state, so you see, this arduous task cannot be done without you."

The Immortal Divine Wood!

So, this tool was meant for use here; no wonder the system didn’t give an explanation and there were NPCs waiting to serve him exclusively, patiently guiding him on how to use the Divine Wood. The treatment could not be considered anything less than VIP level.

"Senior, I do indeed have the Immortal Divine Wood here, but I do not know how to use it. Taking it out would only add to the embarrassment."

Su Ran deliberately said this to fish for information, hoping the dark elf would take the initiative to explain how to use the Immortal Divine Wood.

"That’s simple; just place the Immortal Divine Wood into the water, and you need not control anything after that."

The dark elf did not suspect anything, pointing towards the jet-black Spirit Spring and smiling slightly at Su Ran, "As long as the Spirit Spring is restored, this sanctuary’s space will soon return to normal."

"But..."

Seeing the dark elf’s smug expression, Su Ran started to have doubts in his heart. Even at this point, he had not heard the system’s prompt, and moreover, once the Spirit Spring was restored to its original state, he worried whether this dark elf might cause trouble for the Elf Queen. Another important concern was whether the Immortal Divine Wood could still exist after absorbing all this contamination; it really was a problem.

"Does the Skeleton Warrior perhaps have some unspeakable troubles? But feel free to speak them."

Seeing Su Ran hesitating to speak, the smile on the dark elf’s face gradually solidified and his eyes turned chilly, "But remember, one should not eat carelessly, and some words are even more so not to be spoken lightly!"

Seeing the dark elf in such a cocky, radiant state, Su Ran truly wanted to curse.

Damn it!

He hadn’t even said anything and was already being threatened. How was anyone supposed to speak properly under these conditions?

However, though his heart was full of dissatisfaction, Su Ran did not show it on his face. After quickly weighing the benefits and drawbacks in his mind, he decided to yield to this BOSS. The reason was that he saw a murderous intent in the eyes of the dark elf. The dangerous atmosphere enveloped him, and goosebumps covered his body.
