#215 - Chapter 215 The second lost race, the territory of the elves.
Amidst the constant bickering along the way, a forest, not particularly large, came into view.
Within this forest lay the village of the Elves.
The village wasn't very big, with buildings scattered here and there, but what was peculiar was that these houses were built around sturdy trees.
These treehouses gave the village a great aesthetic appeal, like an incredibly delicate work of art, blending well with nature.
Just looking at it from a distance made one's heart calm down involuntarily.
The Elves were indeed a peaceful race.
Even Jiang Han thought that living in seclusion in such a place would be quite nice.
"We're... here."
At this moment, Mia was much quieter, not shouting anymore, but with tears still in the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.
"Are you really not going to eat me?"
"I'll emphasize one last time, I won't eat you, and humans have never had the habit of eating Elves."
Jiang Han explained, feeling utterly exhausted, for the last time.
"Oh, that's great."
Seeming to have realized that Jiang Han had no intention of harming her after all this time, Mia finally relaxed, patted her chest, and ran cheerfully towards the village.
"Mia! You went to the Rootless Foothills again, didn't you?"
"How many times have I told you, it's dangerous there! What if something happens to you?"
An Elf resembling a middle-aged woman rushed up anxiously as Mia hadn't run far. "If there's a next time, I'll lock you in your room and you won't be allowed out for ten years!"
"Mia knows she was wrong."
Mia pitifully admitted her mistake, "Mia will never go to that horrible place again. Please don't lock Mia in her room, it's too cruel."
"Cruel?"
The middle-aged woman sneered, "It's cruel if you encounter a strange creature. Do you know they eat Elves without batting an eye? You haven't seen..."
"Mia has seen them!"
Before the middle-aged woman could finish, Mia proudly raised her small face, "Mia has seen strange creatures!"
"You've seen them?" The middle-aged woman was stunned.
"Of course!"
Mia held her head even higher, "Mia was almost eaten by a strange creature, just like a tiger, so scary."
"Mia, don't lie! With your strength, how could you run back after encountering a strange creature?"
The middle-aged woman said sternly, "Strange creatures are much more terrifying than you think, you know? This is not a game. From today on, you're not allowed to leave home!"
"Ah?"
Mia pouted, "But... but what Mia said is true, Mia really encountered a strange creature, if it wasn't for... Oh, right."
At this moment, she seemed to remember something, and slapped her forehead, "Mia also saw a human, it was a human who saved Mia."
"A human?"
The middle-aged woman was taken aback.
"It's him!"
Mia turned and pointed into the distance.
Only then did the middle-aged woman notice a slender figure slowly walking over in the distance.
"This..."
She first looked carefully for a while, then an incredible expression appeared on her face, "Is that really a human?!"
"See? Mia didn't lie."
Mia said triumphantly, "He even said he was going to eat Mia, but Mia is smart, and ran back!"
"Mia! You've caused a disaster!"
The middle-aged woman instantly understood what had happened, and her face turned ugly.
Then she hurriedly pulled Mia and ran towards the village.
"What? A human?"
"After so many years, has another human come in?"
"How could this happen?"
Before long, exclamations rang out in the village one after another, and the entire village was alarmed. Elves emerged one after another, all flocking to the entrance of the village.
By the time Jiang Han arrived at the village gate, he was already surrounded by hundreds of Elves, as if facing a great enemy.
"Human, this is not a place for you to come!"
In the very center was an old man with white hair and beard, holding a deep gray staff. Obviously, this person had a high status in the Elf race and was an elder of the clan.
He warned the outsider who had suddenly broken in with a deep voice, "Leave this place immediately! Otherwise, I will regard you as invading! And will gather the strength of the entire clan to fight back!"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In the next moment, more than a dozen Elves near the Elf elder raised the dark staffs in their hands, and several magic arrays spread out in an instant.
Judging from the concentration of magic power, the Elves who cast these spells were quite strong, at least level 80 Archmages.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any malice in coming here," Jiang Han said with a smile. "I'm just here to find an item and accidentally wandered into this place."
"Wandered in?"
The elder snorted coldly, "Every human says that. I'm fed up with your lies. We don't welcome humans with tainted souls here."
"Leave immediately, otherwise, it will be regarded as an act of war."
"The last human who arrived here has already suffered. You don't want to follow in his footsteps, do you?"
"I really don't have any malice."
Jiang Han said, "Besides, no matter what, I saved one of your clansmen, so I'm considered her benefactor. Is this how you Elves treat a benefactor?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, the Elf elder frowned and looked back at his clansmen.
Elves are kind by nature, which makes them subconsciously not want to harm those who have been kind to them.
"That's right, Grandpa Amita, the strange creature was defeated by him, and Mia ran back."
In the back, Mia said crisply, "But he came with Mia to roast Cyrus and eat him."
"Ah? No! My meat is very oily, it's not delicious!"
The little fatty Cyrus was dumbfounded and said with a crying voice, "Mia, you're too disloyal. You know he's going to eat me, and you still brought him to the village!"
"But... but if I didn't bring him, he would have eaten Mia..." Mia also knew she was in the wrong and explained weakly.
"That's not okay! What do we do now? The terrifying human has set his sights on me. I'm done for. No, I have to eat two more flower bananas. Even if I'm eaten, I'll become a gluttonous ghost!"
"Ah? Then Cyrus, will you have the flavor of bananas when you're roasted?"
"I don't know..."
The two were arguing, obviously scared out of their wits.
However, the Elf clan leader ignored these children's words and looked at Jiang Han with a serious face: "So Mia really owes you a debt of gratitude. Please allow me to apologize for my previous rudeness."
"Then, may I enter the village?"
Jiang Han's gaze was directed towards the center of the village.
There, was a spring made of milky white stone.
