Chapter 146 Black Elves

The two dark elves sprinted towards the mouth of the canyon like two rabbits, agile and nimble. With only 100 health points, a round of magic could easily kill them.

"Trying to run? No way!" Nie Yan shot out like an arrow, chasing after them.

The others followed behind Nie Yan, giving chase.

By this time, Yu Lan and the others had probably blocked the canyon entrance.

Sure enough, the two dark elves didn't run far before stopping, because Yu Lan led a group of team members over, blocking the canyon entrance completely.

They had nowhere to escape!

The two dark elves exchanged a glance, then ran towards the cliff on the side. In a moment, they climbed more than three yards high. Nie Yan chased after them, suddenly leaping high, reaching out and grabbing the foot of one of the dark elves. The ring on his left hand shot out a strand of spider silk, which stuck to the other dark elf. He yanked hard, and both dark elves were thrown down, landing on the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

With such high agility and jumping attributes, Nie Yan's athletic ability and speed were astonishing. These two dark elves were clearly outmatched.

The others surrounded them, encircling the two dark elves. Everyone raised their staffs, preparing to use magic to kill them.

"shuedashueda," the two dark elves pleaded.

"Wait, don't kill them yet!" Nie Yan said, his mind racing. In his past life, when running the Treant Woods dungeon, as long as these two dark elves were killed, the Flute of Ianpat would drop. Obtaining the Flute of Ianpat would allow the quest to continue. But this time, capturing the two dark elves alive was something that had never happened before.

In the past, players had only achieved a maximum completion rate of 75% in the Treant Woods dungeon. The remaining 25% of the clues were unknown. Perhaps some clues could be obtained from the two dark elves.

In his previous life, his stats at level four were incomparable to what they were now. Ordinary players at low levels couldn't even afford a set of bronze equipment, let alone a legendary item like the Chapter of Courage. Ordinary players had too low agility and jumping attributes, making it almost impossible to catch the dark elves. They could only be blasted to death with magic.

The two dark elves curled up, looking at Nie Yan with pleading eyes.

"shuedashueda!" the two dark elves uttered ancient, stilted words. This was Elvish, probably meaning "mercy."

"Does anyone here understand Elvish?" Nie Yan turned to look at his team members.

The team members looked at each other, shaking their heads. They only knew one language, Common Tongue. As for Elvish, they had never even heard of it.

Nie Yan was silent for a moment. Without understanding Elvish, it would be impossible to communicate with these two dark elves.

He looked at his language bar. There were four entries in the language bar: Common Tongue, Draconic, Ancient Common Tongue, and Koshart Giantish. It occurred to him that as an ancient race, dark elves had extremely long lifespans. They might use other languages.

"sghuwoeglshg!" Draconic: Humble, weak dark elves, why have you come here?

Nie Yan uttered a string of low syllables, startling everyone. But then, they realized it was a language.

The two dark elves looked at Nie Yan in terrified bewilderment, trembling. One of the bolder dark elves looked at Nie Yan with hesitant suspicion, finally summoning the courage to prostrate himself at Nie Yan's feet, kiss the back of his foot, and then retreat, uttering a timid, trembling sound.

"shugsighueeojg." Draconic: Dragon God above, the dark elf Vasseline prays sincerely. Your Highness, are you a dragon disguised as a human?

In the distant Dark Ages, dark elves were once slaves of the dragons. Unlike races like giants, humans, and high elves, who rebelled and cherished freedom, their racial code still maintained a devout belief in dragons. These creatures, hiding in dark corners, were only worthy of praise for their loyalty.

Nie Yan's heart stirred. Not many humans understood Draconic. This dark elf probably mistook him for a dragon. So, he decided to play along.

"shuguegohhsgshu!" Draconic: Yes, Dragon God above, dark elf Vasseline, why are you here?

"shugogweuggsh." Draconic: Respected Highness, the Drow tribe suffered a crushing defeat at Hilton Fortress. We crossed the plains in the chaos and came here.

"shugohjslde!" Draconic: Dark elf Vasseline, so you are deserters from Hilton Fortress.

"shugohweughh! Draconic: Respected Highness, we are not deserters. The dark elf Vasseline is a brave warrior! We provided the tribe with much intelligence. The Drow tribe will launch a counterattack against Hilton Fortress three nights from now. At that time, the dark elf Vasseline will return to the battlefield."

The dark elf Vasseline declared emphatically.

System: Received a side quest. Inform Overseer Kavaroht of the Drow tribe's counterattack time with the heads of two dark elves.

It was a side quest. Nie Yan continued to question the dark elf without revealing anything. The dark elf Vasseline regarded Nie Yan as a dragon and told him everything he asked, not daring to hide anything.

Nie Yan and the dark elf kept uttering strange syllables, as if they were talking about something. The dark elf seemed very afraid of Nie Yan. What was going on? What shocked them was how Nie Yan had learned the language of another race.

"shugoshugeghhsuhh!" Draconic: Dark elf Vasseline, the Treant Herdsman Ianpat is a friend of the dragons. You stole his flute. I have decided to punish you.

The dark elf Vasseline knelt on the ground and kowtowed, handing over the flute.

The flute was jet-black, covered with cracks, and looked very ancient.

Nie Yan checked the flute's attributes.

Flute of Ianpat (Quest Item): Requires Level 0.

Item Description: A flute used by the Treant Herdsman. It can make treants tremble.

Item Attributes: Will +20, Strength +20, Reflex +20, Health +300, Treant-Type Creature Attributes -50%.

User Restriction: Only usable in the Treant Woods dungeon.

This was the flute, Nie Yan said in a low voice in the team chat, "Kill them!"

The mages raised their staffs and began to chant spells. The two dark elves remained kneeling there, not resisting, silently accepting death.

Boom, boom, boom, spells exploded on the two dark elves, their health reaching zero. They fell to the ground.

System: You have obtained the heads of dark elves, quantity 2.

"Done. The dark elves dropped a pair of warrior's boots. Someone take them. Let's go kill the Treant King," Nie Yan said. This was the most perfect run of the Treant Woods ever. Catching the two dark elves was an unexpected surprise.

"Nie Yan, what did you say to those two dark elves? Why did they seem so afraid of you, and why didn't they dare to fight back when we attacked them?" Yao Yao walked up to Nie Yan and asked.

Everyone looked at Nie Yan with curious expressions. Even Yu Lan couldn't help but focus her attention on Nie Yan.
