"The Elf Forest has been tainted for so long, it’s high time it saw the light of day again."

The Elf Queen stood on a platform woven from vines, feeling the dead atmosphere of the forest, her brow deeply furrowed. After waiting a moment, she finally raised the Rainbow Longbow in her hand, an Elemental Sharp Arrow materialized, the bowstring tensed, arrow aimed at the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Under the guidance of the Elf Queen, the elemental energy around her frantically surged into the arrow, its power climbing continuously, with dazzling light radiating from it. When the momentum reached its peak, the Elf Queen’s hand relaxed, and the arrow transformed into a long rainbow, tearing through the curtain of the curse and shooting toward the high sky in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

The arrow was like an atomic bomb, exploding in the high sky, countless tiny light arrows bursting forth, spreading in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Wherever the light arrows passed, the fog dispersed and the sky cleared, erasing much of the Power of Curse that pervaded the forest. The sun generously showered its light into the forest, the gray woods were brimming with greenery, restored to its former vitality and vibrancy.

Finally.

The Power of Curse that had entangled the elves for thousands of years was broken by the Elf Queen’s full-force hit, dispelling the curse of the Ghost Clan and clearing the clouds and mist.

"Damn, that’s a fierce move!"

Su Ran watched this scene in shock, feeling like a weak ant in front of this attack, unable to even contemplate resistance.

"Big brother Overturning Water, when my arrows have that kind of power, I’ll really be kicking ass. Won’t I be unstoppable in the God-Demon Continent?"

Banana came to Su Ran’s side, eyes bright with enthusiasm, "I just realized that my hidden career’s ultimate form is so domineering; it’s freaking promising!"

"First off, you have to revert to youth,"

Su Ran mercilessly shot down Banana’s excitement, whispering, "With your hundred-year life span, how can you compare to the Elf Queen? Stop dreaming!"

"Cough cough, don’t players have special privileges? Once I get the archery mastery Skill Book, I can skip decades of arduous training!"

Banana was undeterred, continuing to fantasize, "If I achieve archery enlightenment, then I’ll ascend to the heavens in one step!"

"Indeed, you have lofty ambitions. Fine, I’ll wish you an early realization of your dreams!"

Su Ran unexpectedly noticed a fighting spirit in Banana’s eyes, confidence written all over her face. This was a good sign. If she could maintain this state, even if she couldn’t reach the heights of the Elf Queen, her achievements would definitely be significant in the future.

"My Lady, what’s wrong with you?"

As Su Ran was distracted, Ling Wei’s alarmed voice interrupted his thoughts. Turning to look, he was surprised to find the Elf Queen collapsed in Xue Wuqing’s arms, with Ling Wei looking at her with concern.

No way?

Collapsed from a single arrow shot?

Su Ran was somewhat speechless and curiously fixated on the Elf Queen, wanting to see how she transformed back from a young girl...

"It’s nothing, this skill’s aftermath is too great, I’m a bit drained. I’ll recover after a short rest."

The Elf Queen offered a weak smile and, with the help of Xue Wuqing, sat down on the ground, beginning to recover with all her might.

"Er, I have a coffin, and resting inside it might have a stronger recovery effect."

Seeing that the reality was not as he had imagined, Su Ran put his mind at ease. He pulled out a fine coffin and pushed it toward the Elf Queen.

This coffin was a tent-class artifact, universal to the Human Race and the Undead, and there was no aversion to it. The buttery-skinned players had already tested it. It would probably be somewhat effective for the Elf Queen to use as well.

"Don’t bring out that disgusting thing, put it away quickly!"

Ling Wei held a particular aversion to such ritual items, her face showing displeasure, "If you don’t put it away, I will throw it out!"

"Truly unappreciative, such a fine item, and yet you don’t recognize its worth!"

Su Ran sighed helplessly and stuffed the coffin toward the gap while muttering under his breath, "This is truly a case of ’casting pearls before swine.’ I won’t give it to you even if you beg me in the future!"

However, all the words Su Ran was murmuring to himself were caught by Banana without missing a single one. He saw an opportunity, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the coffin, and then grinned at Su Ran, "Overturning Water bro, don’t hurry to take it back, let me have a close look first."

"Suit yourself."

Su Ran said indifferently, not treating it as a big deal. As the saying goes, ’True gold is not afraid of the fire’; in this case, the coffin is not afraid of scrutiny. My coffin’s attributes are top-notch; it would be strange if it didn’t surprise you!

"Damn, a top-notch tent!"

Banana looked at the coffin with a strange expression on his face, which reminded him of the Sea Tomb Grass. Good attributes, but the effect was somewhat lacking. Could this coffin be the same?

Thinking this, Banana subconsciously released his hold, and his expression turned somewhat awkward.

"Top-notch tent?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Wuqing was surprised. She had heard about the scarcity of such tents on the forums and never expected that this coffin would turn out to be a tent-type item with top-notch attributes!

"Skeleton Warrior, let me check out this coffin."

After getting Su Ran’s approval, Xue Wuqing felt the cool material of the coffin and the solid lid, which she found intriguing. Then, she looked at the coffin’s attributes, and she was instantly stunned. Excited, she said, "Just give me this coffin, I don’t mind it at all!"

"Hey, finally someone who knows the goods. This coffin is fated to be yours, so I’ll give it to you! But you should know that such coffins are rare; I don’t have many of them."

No sooner had Su Ran finished speaking than he was sarcastically interrupted by Ling Wei.

"Tch, aren’t you putting it nicely? But in essence, it’s still a coffin. Giving someone a coffin, isn’t that like cursing them?"

"Sister Ling Wei, don’t be so harsh with your words!"

After packing away the coffin, Xue Wuqing turned to the two helplessly, "Why do I always feel like you two are like natural enemies, not feeling comfortable until you have a squabble upon meeting?"

"Also, just to set the record straight, Sister Ling Wei, you really misunderstood him this time. The value of this coffin is comparable to that of a top-notch gold-tier equipment!"

"What?"

Ling Wei was dumbfounded.

As for Banana, don’t even mention his regret.

Seeing this scenario, Su Ran was inwardly thrilled, feeling immensely proud.

...

After about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Elf Queen slowly stood up, her pale face gaining a touch of rosiness, and she appeared to be in good spirits.

Subsequently, the Elf Queen retracted the longbow back into her body and then walked toward Su Ran with a look of gratitude in her eyes. She said earnestly, "Skeleton Warrior, thank you for bringing this spark of hope that allows the Elf Forest to bask in sunlight and be free from the threat of the curse. Your contribution is indispensable."

Damn, is this the moment for rewards to be given out?

Hahaha, after all this anticipation, the mission rewards have finally arrived!

Joy flashed in Su Ran’s eyes, and he hurriedly made polite conversation with the Elf Queen, "As long as I can help the elves escape from suffering, any hardship I endure is well worth it."

"Psh, shameless!"

Ling Wei, who couldn’t stand Su Ran’s self-righteous facade, bluntly called him out.

It was not hard to tell that Su Ran’s past sleazy behavior had deeply imprinted itself in Ling Wei’s heart...

However, before the Elf Queen could continue, a system notification sound interjected, ringing in Su Ran’s mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player Skeleton for successfully completing the hidden mission, saving the elves, and earning the profound friendship of the elf race!"
