Chapter 1677: Chapter 563: Astrologer’s Staff, Ancient Elf Tribe
Their bodies were slender, yet not delicate, exuding a sense of strength.
The dark green armor they wore blended seamlessly with the surrounding leaves and branches.
Above all, their faces combined wildness with beauty, with pointed ears peeking out from their hair.
Each held a longbow, and their gazes towards Cao Xing and his group were filled with vigilance.
Clearly, these were the legendary Ancient Elf Clan.
However, they were quite different from what Cao Xing had heard.
Their appearances were not as otherworldly or incomparably beautiful as he imagined.
Nonetheless, their features and appearances were indeed more exquisite compared to other races.
Of course, this might be related to Cao Xing being accustomed to seeing all kinds of beauties.
Cao Xing chuckled: "These ancient elves have quite innocent eyes; if they were on Blue Star, they’d surely be internet celebrities with millions of fans."
At this moment, the group of elf warriors stood from high above, pulling back their bowstrings, ready to attack at any moment.
Renice continued, "I am the human who recently arrived at your tribe, and this is my Lord."
"Together, we have brought the Holy Object of your tribe."
Upon hearing this, the elf warriors glanced at each other.
They indeed recognized Renice, but their eyes still held intense vigilance, and some even looked at her with anger.
One of the elf archers stepped forward and said: "*&*#..." (Ancient Elf Language)
This was an extremely ancient language, and Cao Xing exchanged a glance with Renice.
Clearly, neither of them understood it.
The group of elf archers, seeing Renice not responding, drew their bowstrings again, seemingly ready to attack.
Upon seeing this, Cao Xing’s gaze darkened, and he raised his magic wand.
Damn it, after going through so much trouble to travel thousands of kilometers to retrieve their tribe’s creature, and still being treated like this.
A powerful frost ice aura erupted instantly, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet by dozens of degrees.
The atmosphere became tense and confrontational!
Meanwhile, in the depths of the dense forest ahead, a group of figures appeared...
It was a group of elf warriors clad in ancient armor, wielding long spears or swords.
Most of them were male elves.
And the leader was distinctly different in attire and demeanor from the other elves.
He wore a gray-green robe, holding a deep green magic wand, exuding a strong magic power aura.
Cao Xing quickly scanned the attributes.

...
...
Cao Xing’s heart stirred slightly.
This handsome elf before him was the clan leader of this tribe.
Moreover, he was a seventh-tier elf mage, quite powerful.
As this otherworldly male elf mage stepped forward, over a hundred elf warriors followed him.
They wielded longswords and shields, as well as bows and magic wands.
Each had a solemn expression in their eyes.
At this moment, the male elf mage spoke in an ancient voice, "Outsider, you have brought an outsider into our tribe."
As the clan leader, he was one of the few who could speak the common language of the continent.
Renice stepped forward and said solemnly, "He is not an outsider, he is my Lord."
"He is also the one I mentioned to you, a Lord whose prosperous territory is recognized by both the Ancient Tree of Knowledge and the Wind Ancient Tree."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the ancient elves turned towards Cao Xing.
And Cao Xing also stepped forward at the right time.
"My subordinate told me you made a promise."
"As long as you retrieve the Holy Object of the Ancient Elf Tribe, you would agree to join my territory."
"Now, I have brought back the Holy Object."
After speaking, a dark green book appeared in his hand.
The moment that book appeared, a commotion arose throughout the Ancient Elf Tribe.
Even the elf clan leader stared at the book in Cao Xing’s hand, eyes filled with excitement.
But quickly, he calmed down.
"This indeed is our long-lost Holy Object, the Ancient Elf Treasure Book."
"So, it seems you defeated that Big Snake?"
"Yes."
Cao Xing nodded, "So now, can you return with me to the territory?"
Upon hearing this, the ancient elf mage shook his head.
"Our initial agreement was that after you brought back the Holy Object, we could discuss the possibility, but it didn’t specify that we must go to your territory."
Cao Xing immediately furrowed his brow.
"Are you saying you want to back out?"
"Is the so-called Ancient Elf Clan really composed of such untrustworthy existences?"
As his words fell, a dangerous aura surged from him once again!
Mr. Cao detested these evasive people the most.
Neither agreeing nor declining, they just wanted to stall him.
And to deal with such people, only strong power could make them yield.
The elves felt his terrifying aura and their expressions grew heavy.
Even as Seventh-tier Mage, the otherworldly Lord before them was far more terrifying than their clan leader!
The elf clan leader saw Cao Xing’s anger, but his expression remained calm.
Then he slowly spoke, "No, we do not wish to back out, elves always keep their promises."
"The original plan was that if this lady truly helped us retrieve the Holy Object of the Elf Clan, then our tribe would send two elves to inspect your territory and decide whether to relocate."
"However... shortly after this human lady left, a group of human mercenaries arrived near our tribe, and we engaged in battle."
"This group of mercenaries was powerful, and our tribe paid a huge price to repel them."
Upon hearing this and connecting it with the elves’ earlier reactions, Renice suddenly understood something.
"You suspect that I leaked the information?"
The elves remained silent, evidently confirming their suspicions.
Seeing this, a trace of anger flickered in Renice’s eyes!
She was a straightforward person by nature, and in the face of such an incident, she momentarily lost her reason.
Cao Xing lightly patted her shoulder, calming Renice down.
Then he looked at the elves in front of him and said, "I think you should see that if my subordinate had leaked the information, there was no need to speak so much with you."
"With her alone, she could wipe out your entire elf tribe."
"Let alone going through all the trouble of tracking down that powerful Big Snake to help you retrieve the Holy Object."
"If you treat someone who has helped the Ancient Elf Tribe in this way, it will disappoint those who truly wish to help you, and I will also abandon negotiations with you."
He didn’t say what he would do if he abandoned the negotiations, but the intense cold emanating from Cao Xing put great pressure on these ancient elves!
All the elves immediately raised their weapons, ready to confront Cao Xing’s potential outbreak.
The atmosphere once again became tense and confrontational.
