Chapter 1292: Chapter 1263: Return to the Elf Race
Along the way, the gaze of the Star Spirit clan towards Li Chen seed sowhat curious, and a bit strange.
It’s not that they haven’t seen powerful people, nor that they haven’t t strong mbers of the Human Race.
However, compared to other experts, Li Chen seed to be a bit too special.
This specialness wasn’t because Li Chen was difficult to deal with or anything else.
Rather, he was too easy to get along with.
Not only was there not a hint of arrogance, but when the team stopped to rest, he would actively help with things like starting fires and cooking.
He seed just like so ordinary guy on a side job, rather than an expert.
Yet, after the arrows were released before reaching Li Chen, they finally understood that Li Chen was not so side-job guy, but a truly terrifying expert.
Among the Demon Clan earlier, including that Earth-level Demon Warrior, there were two Earth-level experts, yet they were easily dealt with by this man without a hint of arrogance, as swiftly as swatting mosquitoes. Moreover, when he got into action, his decisiveness in killing made him seem like a completely different person.
If not for the scenes from before that they hadn’t forgotten, quite a few among them might have been shoulder to shoulder with this man chatting idly.
It’s worth noting that even among their own team, there was only one Earth level, and that was just a rank strong!
However, this Earth-level ranked Star Spirit Clan couldn’t sense anything unusual about Li Chen.
Completely inscrutable!
Such a peculiar sensation made these Star Spirits feel incredibly uneasy.
The Star Spirit Clan is a very friendly race, with many friends, but never one like Li Chen.
“Castor, your roasting is subpar, let do it. Luckily, I brought spices!”
“Rogers, stop adding firewood, it’s almost burnt!”
Hearing Li Chen seemingly caring more about the al than they did, each Star Spirit Clan warrior found themselves amused and helpless.
Diana stepped over to Li Chen’s side.
“Li Chen first…”
“Don’t be so formal, it feels uncomfortable,” Li Chen said with a smile, waving his hand at Diana.
“Alright. So, Li Chen, to be direct, why did soone as powerful as you co here?” Diana said, blinking her beautiful eyes intently at Li Chen.
“Cough cough!” Li Chen was busy roasting at first, but after a long ti, realizing Diana was still watching him and showed no intention of leaving, he awkwardly coughed twice.
“Didn’t I already say? I have so friends in the Elf Race. This ti I ca to visit them,” Li Chen said.
“I heard sothing about the Demon Clan before. Coincidentally, last ti I also encountered the Demon Clan attacking the Elf Race, so I was worried about them.”
“I see…” Diana nodded, grudgingly believing Li Chen’s words.
Even if Li Chen were lying, it would be pointless. With his strength, wiping out their entire team would only take a flick of his wrist. There was really no need for him to deceive her.
“Try the food, try the food, sample my cooking skills, I guarantee it’ll be unforgettable!” Li Chen lifted a piece of roasted at from the grill and handed it to Diana, smiling cheerfully.
Seeing Li Chen like this, Diana couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Is this guy really an unfathomable Earth-level expert?
After two more days of trekking, the group finally arrived before a dense forest.
“Finally here.” Looking at the sowhat familiar forest, Li Chen couldn’t help but speak wistfully.
The last ti, he left from here. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, he found himself here again.
“I wonder how Cherie is doing here.” Thinking of a certain girl, Li Chen felt inexplicably complicated.
Last ti he left, because the Cross Sword could only take one person out of the minor world, Cherie remained here.
To this day, he rembers the look of reluctance in Cherie’s eyes as he departed.
He helped Cherie avoid the fate of humiliation by the Earth Demon Clan and took her away from Kalin Village, away from a region shrouded in the nightmare of the Earth Demon Clan.
But in the end, he still left her behind.
Shaking his head vigorously, Li Chen stopped pondering these complex matters and turned to Diana and the others: “Have you ever been to the Elf Race’s territory?”
“I’ve been here once.” This ti, the only Earth-level Star Spirit Clan mber in the team spoke up.
“Then you should know the way.” Li Chen nodded and was about to return to the team.
However, that Earth-level Star Spirit Clan mber awkwardly spoke up: “The last ti I visited the Elf Race was seventy years ago, so…”
“So you don’t rember the way either?” Li Chen said, sowhat speechless, then turned to Diana: “None of you know the way?”
Hearing Li Chen’s question, Diana’s face flushed, but she still shook her head.
“I an, you all ca to the Elf Race, but none of you know the way?” Li Chen asked exaggeratedly.
A group of Star Spirit mbers awkwardly looked at each other.
“Alright, alright!” Li Chen shook his head helplessly. “Then I’ll lead the way.”
As he spoke, Li Chen rode to the front of the team, guiding the group of Star Spirit mbers.
Yet as they moved forward, Li Chen noticed sothing unusual in the forest.
Unlike the last ti he ca, the forest’s rich breath of life seed to have weakened considerably. Last ti Li Chen was here, he could feel a full and vibrant breath of life.
But this ti, there was none of that feeling, as if it were just an ordinary forest, devoid of anything special.
“Hmm?”
As he walked deeper into the forest, Li Chen’s brow furrowed suddenly.
“What is it?” Diana asked curiously when she saw Li Chen suddenly stop.
Li Chen shook his head but didn’t speak.
He’d sensed sothing was amiss earlier, and this unusual feeling had now beco more pronounced. The Elf Race had indeed encountered sothing.
For they were already near the Elf Race’s territory, yet Li Chen noticed that the nearly enormous Tree of Life… had disappeared!
Although Li Chen might not fully understand the Elf Race, he knew that the Tree of Life was one of the race’s foundations!
But now, it had vanished!
Just as Li Chen was puzzled, a cold voice suddenly ca from nearby.
“Who’s there?”
Li Chen instinctively turned his head to look.
When the two people’s eyes t, they both paused in surprise.
“Li Chen?”
“Odelia?”
