Flying in front of a clear sky, the air flow swept over her ice crystal wings, and the water vapor condensed into ice flowers, drawing two white snow lines on the wing tips. To the south, beyond the busy sea route of Raging Wave City, there was the endless empty deep sea.

This trip to the Emerald Forest was an impromptu trip because I received a letter from Dai'er yesterday evening.

Ever since she learned about the existence of the Magic Spring, Dai'er has been looking for traces of the Magic Spring. For this purpose, she has gone deep into the emerald forest many times to conduct investigations.

During a recent investigation, Del discovered a very strange creature. It looks like a snail, but is very large. The snail shell on its back is like a small house. It wanders in the forest, and its power can easily

It can knock down a towering tree and engulf it in a matter of minutes.

After Dai'er discovered the giant snail, she observed it for a month.

The giant snail moves forward in a clockwise spiral from the center of a circle. It will clear out all the trees and shrubs it encounters, and at the same time, lush green grass will soon grow in the places it passes. When the giant snail organizes a circle with a diameter of about 200 meters,

After reaching the territory, it will return to the center of the circle on its original path.

Then many little people will appear in the grass.

Dai'er describes the villain like this:

They are less than my knees tall, wearing clothes woven from grass leaves, and holding "spear" made of wooden sticks and sharp stones. They spend most of their time hiding in the spiral grass, and the dense grass taller than them is the best concealment.

Place.

Sometimes the villains go out hunting. They are all superb hunters and can easily kill small animals such as mice. But in the Emerald Forest, which is full of various large beasts and extraordinary creatures, the villains are still too weak.

I saw them trying to kill a python, but it was too big for them.

After one of the little people was swallowed by the python, the other little people ran back to the spiral grassland in panic. At that time, I was hiding on a big tree outside the grassland and saw these little people surrounding the giant snail... I didn’t know what to do.

We should not continue to call it a giant snail, because it has not moved since it returned to the center of the circle. From a distance, the snail shell seems to be empty.

Those little people sang and danced around the giant snail, as if they were completing some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

Then the next day I saw a special guy appear among the villains. He was extremely agile, like a dexterous squirrel, wearing simple bone armor and a very sharp bone knife as a weapon.

This special guy followed the group of villains to find the python they met yesterday. Soon, the python that even the villains couldn't deal with was killed by that special guy.

Two days later, the villain who went out to hunt encountered a forest wolf. The wolf had some wind-attribute skills and killed the villains and ran around. Even the villain wearing bone armor could only escape.

The same thing happened again, the little people sang and danced around the giant snail, and the next day they had a mage.

The lone wolf became their dinner.

In my observation, I found that whenever the villains encounter prey that they cannot deal with, they will hold a sacrificial ceremony around the giant snail, and the next day there will be more powerful companions in their community. There are villains with bone armor, and there are wizards.

Little man, later I also saw cavalry riding badger pigs and a combination of leaves that looked like a giant mantis that could fly.

Finally, I had to end my observation of this strange community because they discovered me and rounded me up. I escaped, but I didn't dare to go back and continue observing, for fear that something powerful would be waiting for me the next day.

In the letter, Del described her discoveries in the Emerald Forest, and also told her natural science tutor Macatina about her discoveries.

"Professor Macatina was very nervous after hearing my discovery. She went to see the dean of Emerald Magic Academy, and soon the academy issued a notice of closure.

The Emerald King's Court blew the summoning horn, and the entire forest was filled with elf warriors riding griffons and pegasus. Many instructors from the Emerald Magic Academy accepted the Elf King's call and went to the Elf King's Court to gather and stand by.

Miss Qingkong, I'm a little scared, what kind of terrible thing did I find?"

The giant snail and mysterious little man discovered by Dai'er are the reasons why Qingkong temporarily decided to go to the Emerald Forest.

During the ancient war, the Emerald Forest was a vassal civilization of the Dragon Kingdom. The elves learned powerful magic from the giant dragons and fought for the dragons. During the war, many world-famous powerful heroes were born among the elves, and there are still some remains in the Emerald Forest.

There are many relics of ancient wars.

After the war, the Dragon Kingdom had no time to take care of itself, and the Emerald Forest became independent from the control of the dragon. When human civilization was rapidly rising, it integrated civilizations from overseas to form a branch of human civilization with its own characteristics.

The modern academic system built by human civilization has been almost completely forgotten by the Emerald Forest, including archeology.

And because of the generally long lifespan of elves, the forest elves have restored the emerald forest of ancient times to a much greater extent than humans.

During the excavation of ancient war relics, forest elf archaeologists discovered a strange race that could be regarded as a flash in the pan.

This race was named the Headhunters.

The headhunters are a group with a social system similar to that of an ant colony. The lowest level of the headhunters are similar to worker ants, and they are responsible for hunting and searching for food. The next ones are the hunters, who are responsible for hunting prey that the headhunters cannot handle. The next one is the hunter.

, responsible for finding hunting grounds and arranging habitats for headhunters and predators.

At the top is the Headhunter Queen.

The villain Dai'er saw was the lowest level headhunter of the headhunting tribe, the giant snail was a hunter, the bone armor villain, the mage villain, the weasel pig cavalry, and the leaf mantis were all hunters.

The Headhunter Queen hides underground.

What Dai'er saw was just a headhunting camp, which meant that there were more headhunting camps in the entire Emerald Forest. They were connected through tunnels to an unknown mother's nest somewhere. The headhunters captured prey to feed the headhunting queen, who gave birth to more offspring.

Multiple headhunters, hunters and hunters expand their territory to hunt more prey.

This is expansion without any limits.

When the elves in ancient times realized that if the headhunters were allowed to expand, they would kill all the living creatures in the Emerald Forest. Therefore, the elves mobilized troops from the ancient battlefield to kill the headhunters with all their strength. The war was so fierce that the elves even had to invite giant dragons.

Come to support.

In the end, the Headhunting Queen was hunted down by an elite team of heroes. The Headhunting clan was destroyed, and the forest elves also paid a heavy price.

No one knows how the headhunters appeared. Like other powerful species that appeared during ancient wars, they seemed to pop up suddenly.

This is why Dai'er discovered the headhunters and made the Emerald Forest so nervous. This time, the Emerald Forest is not a vassal of the Dragon Kingdom and will most likely not receive support from the Dragon Kingdom.

I don’t know how big the headhunters have grown.

"Do you know how the headhunters appeared?"

In the spiritual starry sky, Luke asked Qingkong about the origin of the headhunters.

"Why are you asking me this question, as if I know it?" Qingkong flew around the crescent moon, sat on the crescent moon, and said to Luke with a smile: "The grassland elves and the forest elves are very, very far apart.

…”

Luke looked at the clear sky and said, "Because your smile betrays you, you must know something."

"Oh, I can't lie to you now." Qingkong said helplessly: "The origin of the world is the abyss and the starry sky. When the world system becomes seriously unstable, the influence of the abyss and the starry sky on the world will become more and more obvious.

Some energy from the abyss and starry sky will overflow in a tidal shape, inevitably producing some powerful extraordinary creatures.

The World Tree is an overflow point, so it can produce tree people, petal elves, and release seeds of hope.

The headhunters were created because a divine power overflow point in the Emerald Forest was too active."

"Magic Fountain!"

"Correct answer!" Qingkong shook his legs and continued: "Don't expect me to answer more. I only know the reason why the headhunters appeared. As for what they are, I know as much as you do."

Luke said: "Since the Headhunters were created due to the overflow of the Magic Spring's divine power, does it mean that if you find the Magic Spring, you can find the Headhunter Queen?"

"That's right!" Qingkong said in surprise: "Why didn't I think of it. If the Magic Spring hadn't moved on its own initiative, the Headhunter Queen would not have left the Magic Spring area.

It seems that I will have something to do soon! I don’t know what kind of hunter the Headhunter Queen will tailor-make for me.”

Qingkong's expectation made Luke think of his ability to hunt the Queen.

In addition to the strong reproductive power of the Hunting Queen, another of her abilities is to breed hunters specifically to deal with the strong enemies she encounters. Once the hunters complete the hunt, the Hunting Queen will breed

More hunters of this genre.

This is the terrifying thing about the Headhunters. As long as the Hunting Queen is around, the Headhunters can continue to grow stronger as their enemies increase in strength.

If the forest elves cannot win quickly against the headhunters, they will most likely be exterminated.

This is why Luke separated from the clear sky controlled by his consciousness and rushed to the Emerald Forest.

Seeing Qingkong's fighting spirit, Luke said: "Okay, let's follow the old rules. Leave the fighting to you, and leave the other matters to me."

"I just like to watch the clear sky here when it belongs to you. It's so charming. I can never imitate that cool look."

Luke said with a sullen face: "I don't think so... Every time I control Qingkong, I have to hint that I forget the gender of myself and Qingkong. If I can be given another chance to create a character, I will definitely create a tall, muscular man.

.”

Qingkong flew close to Luke and said almost face to face: "Then what you are facing now is also a tall, muscular man."

Luke made up the picture in his mind, and instantly realized that he had fallen into Qingkong's way again.

"You can continue to enlighten here. There is still a long voyage waiting for me. Goodbye..."

"goodbye!"

Luke left the spiritual starry sky, flew back to the moon in the clear sky, and merged with the moon.

The sun that lit up due to Luke's arrival dimmed, and the starry sky covered by the sun shone even brighter.

After a whole day's flight, the coastline of the Emerald Forest appeared on the sea under the moonlight, and soon the Emerald Royal Court was seen.

The Emerald Royal Court is the capital of the Emerald Forest. Its status in the hearts of the forest tribes is equivalent to the status of the Moonlight Royal Court in the hearts of the barbarians in the West. The ruler of the Emerald Royal Court is this generation of Elf King Sanye Garret, also known as Garret. The seventeenth generation, or the three-leaf king.

The Emerald Royal Court is divided into two parts. The old city maintains its traditional style. The elves live in tree houses. The tree houses are connected by ropeways and suspension bridges woven with rattan ropes. However, the elves living in the old city now have There are very few, and most of them are elderly elves who cannot keep up with the pace of the times.

Young elves all like the new city. The new city has tall buildings built with antique trees and tree houses, streets with leaf street lights, and long corridors connecting high-rise buildings. It is rich in material, convenient transportation, and there are many people from overseas. of novelty.

There is also a special area in the new city, which is the Emerald Port Area. This is the only open entry and exit port in the Emerald Forest, and it is also the only heavy industrial zone established by elves who value environmental protection.

Cars and rail trains are running everywhere in the port area, and factory chimneys are emitting black smoke with sparks all the time. Various ships are coming in and out of the busy port, and coal-burning steam engines are also constantly emitting pollutants.

It's not just the forest elves who work in the port area. People from all over the world have brought all kinds of bad habits, making the port area of ​​the Emerald Court full of filthy sins like ports elsewhere.

Arriving at the Emerald Forest, Qingkong didn't want to expose her identity prematurely, so she chose to sneak into the port area with Jennifer and Xue, pretending to be passengers who had just gotten off a cruise ship.

The black dragon Bale moves freely, and it is too easy to find a hiding place in the Emerald Forest.

It was the first time for Jennifer, who was 100 years old, to come to the Jade Palace. She was wearing a maid dress with the old-style style of the Golden Shield Empire, a fluffy hat, and she was dragging a large suitcase in her hand, her eyes wide open. Live and look around.

And asked Qingkong doubtfully: "Miss Qing... Although you can see many elves here, the environment does not look much different from the port of Raging Waves City. It is even worse than the old port of Raging Waves City. It is not what I imagined." Elven Port is completely different."

Clear sky walks ahead.

Xue Lai followed and looked around cautiously, showing off his gun to people with bad intentions from time to time. However, the reputation of the Black Mamba did not apply here. Instead, he attracted a few whistles because of his charming legs.

"Xue Lai, just follow me normally." Qingkong reminded Xue Lai, then explained the differences in the port area to Zhan Fenni, and finally said: "From a sociological perspective, the environment here is inevitable for elves to receive radiation from human civilization. Products, which bring advanced things, also inevitably bring bad things.
