The dark elves were like waking up from a dream, and this Pigg's horror made them feel a sense of fear from the heart.

  One cluster after another of black fog exploded, and a figure in black disappeared into the swirling black fog with chaotic footsteps.

  To be honest, if the Dark Elves retreated without a fight, Liu Zhensheng really wouldn't have any way to deal with them. Although Liu Zhensheng was furious that these Dark Elves had destroyed his Cloud Qin Puppet Golden Man, and he hated them to the point of grinding his teeth, reason told him that entering the deep Dark Elf lair wasn't something a clever person like him should do.

  Liu Zhenhong may not be able to deal with Dark Elves, but that doesn't mean others can't.

  Among the four travelers with haggard faces, someone suddenly hummed a short and mysterious tune. The sound was filled with undeniable pressure, as if the air itself was shrinking like a breath, condensing into a semicircular pale silver boundary. Water arrows shot out from inside, densely packed like a flock of crows flying over the vast wilderness.

  Just like a peacock's dazzling display of colors, the rippling water arrows flashed and chased into the dark, eerie black fog, Liu Zhen felt his upper body being swept by a cold gust of wind that sent shivers down his spine.

  The loud and mournful cries echoed eerily in the desolate mountain cave.

  Liu Zhen's cigar slipped out of his mouth and fell onto his chest hair, emitting a scorched smell; the two hands grasping his waist also loosened, and the robe that had just been pulled up fell down like a landslide, revealing a pale face. The war hammer in Pierre Knight Vieri's hand hit the ground with a "clang", and the two people stared at each other, their eyes filled with deep shock.

  Magic! This is the magic that still makes the Beastman Kingdom feel a lingering pain even after a thousand years since the Battle of Hygel.

  Liu Zhen also witnessed magic, Evie used a shell-made magic scroll to summon the large-scale water system magic "Water Arrow Barrage" he had seen before, but compared to the magic water arrow that the Eastern traveler used today, which can only be described as "surging", the mermaid who claims to have mastered the water element would probably be ashamed to death if she were present.

  The black fog gradually dispersed, and Liu Zhen looked forward through the light of the night pearl. The mountain wall was full of beehives and small eyes everywhere. On the ground, a large pile of dark elves lay motionless, and a black leopard was still twitching its limbs.

  The creek water flowing underfoot first had only a few strands of light smoke-like bloody threads floating over, gradually turning into red and deep red.

  Liu Zhen felt that the creek water under his feet was gradually turning into soy sauce.

  "Adults." The bear man helped Liu Zhen to pull up the sacrificial robe, and the four travelers all looked at the great dragon sacrifice of the kingdom, it's too embarrassing.

  "Thanks to the generosity of the Brave Warriors of Bimon, I am the Crown Prince of the Hidden Empire. Your bravery will be forever etched in my heart." The leader of the travelers, a human prince, spoke up. He wore a simple conical hat, a luxurious but old silk robe, and had a handsome face that was both elegant and awe-inspiring. His age seemed to be an eternal mystery on him, and his wise eyes made him look mature and charming.

  His eyes are very unique, full of peace and tranquility, looking at you is like the warm sunshine on a spring day shining down on you.

  His eyes still held a melancholy that could make anyone involuntarily feel pity.

  By the side of the king was a fine and powerful white horse, with flowing mane and four sturdy legs covered in scales like fish.

  "Handsome Prince! Saving people in distress is a lesson that every noble and courageous warrior must learn." Liu Zhen was shaken and politely returned the courtesy. He had a good impression of this prince, whose handsome appearance and his brother's resemblance in some aspects were filled with a deep sense of melancholy in his eyes.

  On one hand, Liu Zhen's gaze shook, on the other hand, he was secretly sizing up the other Eastern Demon Monarchs.

  His eyes froze.

  The first thing that caught my eye was a giant ape-like creature, its body covered in messy hair, with only a tiger skin wrapped around its lower body and no other clothing. This primitive-looking creature, despite having streaks of white hair on both sides of its head, exuded a special charm all over its body, a purely wild and untamed aura.

  Liu's eyes stared at him, as if they couldn't move away again. This wild man-like Bei Mong emitted a magnetic attraction.

  The giant ape, with a generally calm appearance, noticed Liu Zhen's gaze and politely held the iron rod in his hand, responding with a refined gesture that was utterly inconsistent with his robust and wild physique.

  Beside him stood a tall and sturdy man, with a bald head under which was a necklace made of skulls. The man had gill-like slits on his cheeks.

  There was no doubt that this was a powerful warrior of some sea tribe owned by the mighty Eastern Empire, only Liu Zhen could not guess which race he came from.

  The sturdy man of the sea tribe held in his hands a Pig-Faced Clan member with a bulging belly, who was on the verge of collapse. The windmill-like ears and double hands hung down weakly, and the face was filled with painful expressions. Although there were no moans coming from his mouth, the coarse air constantly emerging from his large pig nose proved the suffering he was enduring at this moment.

  Liu Zhen's memory was not bad, he remembered that the large-scale water system magic that annihilated all the dark elves in an instant was actually summoned by this Pig-faced Magician of the Matcha tribe who supported his sick body.

  "Western continent's Pygmy warrior, tell me, what has happened to my apprentice?" The human male lovingly stroked the Pygmy's face, asking Liu Zhensheng with a sorrowful expression.

  "He... is pregnant." Liu was suddenly aware that his nose felt a bit sour too.

  "What?" The travelers' faces turned pale and they stumbled a few times before regaining their balance.

  "The Fountain of Life." Liu Zhen was taken aback and sighed: "The Dark Elves possess the Fountain of Life, they used cunning to lure you to the vicinity of the spring, and this Pig Mage drank that terrible spring water. The Fountain of Life is using one's own life essence to nurture a brand new life."

  Several travelers fell silent.

  After a long time, the ape-like beast warrior swung his iron rod heavily and smashed it on the stone beside him. A thunderous explosion sounded, and the giant millstone was crushed into fragments by him with one blow.

  What a powerful force! Even Liu Zhensheng, who possesses the power of the dragon, is tongue-tied at heart.

  "Master, we've been too merciful all along. If only we had started killing earlier, perhaps..." The eyes of this robust and majestic being, similar to a gorilla, sparkled with tears, which rolled down his cheeks after two circles, quietly falling into the thick fur on his face.

  The human traveler didn't say another word, but the suppressed sorrow couldn't be hidden.

  He sang softly, a gentle beam of light soothing the body of Ursa Major, and the wounds he had just received in battle healed instantly.

  "Ascetic monk! You're actually an ascetic monk!" The bear man looked down at the wounds on his body, and Kampa's eyes widened in surprise. This was the "Healing Light of Prayer", a technique that only ascetic monks could use. In the war between beasts and humans, Bimon had suffered greatly due to the lack of sufficient medical care, but humans had priests and ascetic monks who could quickly send large numbers of heavily wounded soldiers back into battle.

  "Yes." The prince from the alien continent smiled reluctantly: "I am indeed a monk, and my apprentice came to the West in search of some high-intelligent monks' notes for many years. If it weren't for the persecution of the Saint Paul Church against these ascetic monks, I think we should have returned to our hometown long ago."

  "Save this Pikachu first!" Liu Zhensheng said: "If necessary, I can use the Soul Lock Chain War Song to transfer our lives to it!"

  "It's useless." The prince turned his back, his shoulders trembling for a moment before he spoke: "He has already been drained of the essence of life by the Fountain of Life. Even if more vitality is infused into him, it will only fill up the new life that is being born. In these two days, he has reached the edge of exhaustion."

  "What can we do?" The bear man also couldn't help but sigh.

  "The flower of life will always bloom in another form. We monks do not mind the passing of life." The prince's words were filled with deep attachment and nostalgia, but he turned around with a carefree smile, his eyes leaving behind a trace of moisture.

  The two traveling apprentices beside the king could no longer control their emotions, and they hugged each other tightly, wailing loudly in grief.

  The man's cry was soul-shaking, even the rough-skinned Vieri turned around and wiped his eyes, his shoulders shaking.

  Liu Zhen's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness. He really wanted to help these travelers, but he was truly unable to do so.

  Watching several Eastern travelers in extreme pain, Liu Zhen was shocked for the first time and felt an irresistible sense of fate.

  After standing for a long time, a mournful cry came from the quiet cave, and the sound lingered.

  The king's hands held a bloody mass, stripped of the fetal membrane, inside was a plump little piglet, eyes still unopened, skin like translucent and fragile, a big nose, as if constantly sniffing something.

  "Our little treasure is a girl." The king covered the piglet's eyes with his hand and held it in his arms, with big tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

  "Campus! It's actually... a beast kin." The bear man's nose was slightly sour.

  Bimon is not human, and the main reason why Bimon's population has always been low is that among Bimon's descendants, there will be a certain probability of beast kin appearing, that is, descendants with only a small number of intelligent wild beasts. This probability has always been quite high.

  This great Eastern Pig, his magical powers far exceeded the limits that Liu Zhen had ever seen. The kind of magic that was barely emitted before death already possessed such terrifying power, it can be imagined that when this Pig mage was healthy, he had achieved how great an achievement in magic, unfortunately, after his life essence was reborn again, his descendants were a beastkin, and still a female beastkin.

  The fertility rate has created everything today, and it can't be said that this is not a great pity.

  "Why isn't it a match?" Liu Zhenhong sighed.

  "Piglet is life, it's also a life!" The crown prince of the Far East continued to cover Piglet's eyes, deeply kissing this young face, without minding the bloodstains on its body.

  "Your Highness, where are you headed next?" Liu Zhen saw that they had wrapped the blood-soaked corpse of a Pigura mage in a white horsehide sack, and his heart also felt an inexplicable pang.

  "We've obtained all the notes from the Western ascetic monks, we must return to the Far East." The prince stroked the little piglet affectionately and used his own clothes to wipe away the dirt on its body: "But this small life will definitely not survive our kind of wind and rain life. On the way, monsters are rampant, we have to cross terrible deserts and swamps, taking it with us is a sin. So, I want to ask two great Bimon warriors for one thing."

  "I'm willing to serve you." Liu Zhensheng said very sincerely.

  "This child's life is too fragile, can you please help me take care of it first? When I return to the Far East in the future, I will send a ship to pick it up." The king said: "As a reward for the two brave men who selflessly lent a helping hand today, I will report your merits to my brother after returning home and let him open trade with your country."

  Kuma no Teio actually wanted to say this a long time ago, but was too embarrassed to speak up. Now that the Far Eastern Prince has brought it up, Kuma is somewhat embarrassed instead.

  "This is my token." The king, with a smile that seemed to see right through everything, took off a white jade pendant from his body and handed it to Liu Zhen. The jade pendant was warm to the touch, emitting a gentle warmth.

  "I'm also a match, I guarantee, I'll treat it like my own child!" Liu Zhen took the jade pendant solemnly. For some reason, he had an inexplicable affection for this little piglet, as if it were a family member.

  "It's precisely because you're a match that I'm at ease handing her over to you." The princess fondly stroked the little piglet in her arms, kissing it repeatedly before finally, albeit reluctantly, handing it over to Liu Zhensheng.

  The little piglet had its eyes covered, and when it first opened them, it saw Liu Zhen, and immediately burrowed into Liu Zhen's arms, sucking on his fingers, making a "slurping" sound, occasionally letting out happy hums.

  "It likes you, and we poor monks believe in fate the most." The king smiled at Liu Zhen, took a black large bowl from the saddle, and handed it to Liu Zhen: "This is a golden alms bowl, worth some money, just as a small gift for your future use..."

  Adamantite is the most valuable metal, forged weapons are invincible, and the output of Adamantite in the Aegean continent is extremely small. The weapons made of Adamantite can only be used by legendary heroes, and it is said that every grain-sized Adamantite weighs around 10 pounds.

  The king's hands held a golden bowl as if he were holding a loaf of bread with no effort at all.

  "Put away this bowl, my dear King. If you think it's necessary, I can use the noble identity of the Dragon Sacrifice to sign a noble soul contract with this little treasure." Liu was enraged for the first time.

  In the past, if someone else had given him such good things, he would have accepted them without hesitation, but for some reason, this time he felt a sense of shame and humiliation.

  "Your nobility will forever be etched in my heart. As for the spiritual contract, it's completely unnecessary now. I sincerely apologize from the bottom of my heart for having just desecrated your majesty. Farewell, respected Piglet... farewell, respected Knight Perrin." The prince no longer insisted, smiled apologetically at Liu and the Bear Knight, gazed longingly at the little piglet one last time, then led his white horse towards the direction of the glowing cave entrance.

  Two tall and majestic Eastern Bhim followed closely behind him, the package in his arms heavy with sorrow.

  They never looked back again, perhaps they were afraid that if they did, they would be reluctant to part with it.

  Liu Zhen was deeply moved at this moment and could truly feel their emotions.

  That majestic white horse turned its head and let out a long, mournful neigh. A glittering teardrop actually rolled down from the corner of its huge eye.

  Liu Zhen and Xiong Ren looked in the direction they had disappeared, both of them fell silent.

  Liu Zhenhuan thought of Vogelson Xu and then thought of this Far Eastern prince.

  The difference between them made him feel a wave of emotion again.

  "Take this and hand it over to the military department." Liu Zhenhua tightly wrapped the little piglet in his arms, and handed the jade pendant left by the king to Vieli.

  "Sir, what about you?" The bear man looked at the little piglet in Liu Zhen's arms.

  "For the first time, I felt the nobility of a vow." Liu Zhen was stunned and lost his smile, he himself said that a person who could lie without blinking had become so formal.

  "I suddenly feel like singing." Liu Zhen said.

  ***********************************************************************************

  Three travelers were walking on a mountain path, when the wind came up and disheveled their clothes.

  "Master!" Dongfang Bimon, who looked like a gorilla, couldn't help but say: "I still can't bear it, I'm afraid the child will suffer, I'll go get it back?"

  "Yes, Master, let's go get her back!" The Haidao apprentice nodded.

  "Little emptiness... little purity..." The human king's conical hat was blown away by the wind, revealing a shiny head with a round scar, the hat spinning in mid-air before falling into the distance.

  "When that pig looked at the little life, there was only clear and deep affection inside. Perhaps you saw a strong evil aura in his eyes, but I believe that having such loving eyes for young lives, even if there is evil, his evil will forever bloom only for evil." The king gazed into the distance.

  Distant green hills resemble eyeliner.
