Chapter 153 Advice
Brent had long anticipated that the increase in the number of outsiders would definitely make Crescent City even more chaotic.

But even so, the degree of rampantness of these people was far beyond his imagination, and they had even reached the point of ignoring him.

Or.

This is the norm on black soil.

The collapse of rules not only brings about survival problems, but also amplifies the malice in people's hearts.

Just like what happened today.

If it is not handled properly, the credibility of Crescent City will definitely be greatly reduced, seriously affecting the residents' trust in them, and it will become even more chaotic.

He would never allow such a thing to happen!
And behind him.

Marin's teammates also had grim expressions on their faces, staring at the one-armed man in front of them.

They knew very well that if Marlene was taken away by them, she would be in danger of death. Who knew what dangerous place they would let her investigate?

to be honest.

I just want to find a cannon fodder to die.

There is no way they would agree to that.

"This is really abominable. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have more people?" The mage girl cursed in a low voice.

"There's nothing we can do. They are stronger than us." The dwarf sighed.

"In any case, we definitely cannot hand Marlene over."

"That's right, at worst we'll fight them to our death!"

Although the teammates came from different races, they had been together for so long that they had already formed a deep friendship. How could they just watch their teammates jump into the fire pit?

As he spoke, he had already protected Marlene behind him, holding his weapon tightly, ready to fight at any time.

Marlene clenched her teeth, feeling touched and worried at the same time. She didn't know what to do in this situation.

After all, Brent is the leader of the human race. It is already a very kind thing for him to stand up and stop it. It is impossible for him to protect her all the time.

Moreover, the opponent's strength is even stronger than Brent's. The other leaders will definitely not stand up for her, a small dark elf.

The one-armed man and the others had obviously anticipated this, and they seemed fearless and said playfully, "Brent, I advise you to hand her over. You are a human, there is no need to fight for an elf."

"That's right. We just want her to help with the investigation. We won't do anything to her."

"You don't really think you can protect her?"

As he spoke, he took another step forward.

Brent and the others looked gloomy and quietly tightened their weapons.

The atmosphere of the whole scene was at a stalemate, and it felt like a fight might break out at any moment.

however.

at this time.

A human guard hurried in from outside.

"Master Sean, a group of dark elves came outside and said they were looking for their people!"

The shout was not loud, but it spread throughout the crowd in an instant, startling everyone and causing a commotion.

Dark elf?
And it’s a team?
When did so many dark elves appear on the black soil?
Could it be that……

suddenly.

What everyone thought of.

All eyes fell on Marlene behind Brent.

The one-armed man in the lead also frowned and cautiously did not take any more action.

After all, if they can survive on the black soil, they still know how to judge the situation.

Brent is a human, so there is no reason for him to protect the dark elves for too long, but it is different for the dark elves' tribesmen.

At least we have to first determine the opponent's strength and whether it is really related to the dark elf in front of us.

"Let's go out and take a look!"

Brent made a prompt decision and hurriedly led his men out of the canyon.

The odd five-member team that Marlene was in also quickly followed, fearing that the one-armed man would take action at this time.

When they passed through the city wall and came out of the canyon, they saw a team in black robes standing in the surging black soil, neatly arranged, like a well-trained army.

And at the front of the team.

An old elf leaning on a cane looked deep in his eyes as he silently gazed at the canyon in front of him, unable to sense any breath.

The guards on the city wall had different expressions, and more and more people ran over to check the situation.

"You are..."

Brent walked forward cautiously, with surprise in his eyes.

After living in Crescent Valley for so many years, this was the first time he saw so many dark elves.

Wasn’t it said that when the disaster struck, the natural race was almost extinct in order to protect the Dream Forest?

Unexpectedly.

The old elf did not look at him, but looked behind him, with a kind smile on his old face.

"Child, come to me."

Marlene, who had just arrived, saw that it was someone calling her and immediately came to her senses from her shock.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at his teammates again, and finally walked forward cautiously and came in front of the great elder.

This was the first time she had seen her own people since she grew up, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Well, not bad, but a little thin. It must have been hard for you out there these years, right?"

The Great Elder said softly as he looked around.

Seeing this, the other tribesmen immediately gathered around, chattering non-stop, looking very happy, which made Marlene feel a little flattered.

"I……"

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

Unexpectedly, her teammate spoke first.

"It's really not easy. Just now someone wanted to force her to go to such a dangerous place to die..." The mage girl muttered in a low voice.

How could the dark elves with powerful perception not hear her words? Their faces changed and they turned into afterimages and appeared in front of her.

"No! She's my friend!"

Marlene spoke up hastily, thinking that these tribesmen were about to take action.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt her."

The Great Elder still had a kind smile on his face, but his aura had turned cold.

Although he was just standing there, Brent and others were startled. They felt that it was extremely dangerous and did not dare to act rashly.

"Tell me, what happened?"

The captain of the guard looked at Marlene's teammates and asked.

The four people who were originally a little hesitant, seeing the terrifying momentum of these dark elves, immediately plucked up their courage and quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter one by one.

The more they talked, the uglier the expressions of the dark elves became. Even the smile on the face of the great elder disappeared, as if the entire air had frozen.

The one-armed man who was watching on the city wall felt a jolt in his heart and suddenly had a bad premonition.

as predicted.

As Marin's teammates pointed their arms, several powerful auras instantly locked onto him, shocking the crowd nearby and causing them to disperse.

"You are the one who wants to take my people away by force?" The dark elves' eyes all fell on the one-armed man.

The one-armed man waved his hands and said, "Misunderstanding, all misunderstanding. I just wanted to invite her to join our team. I have absolutely no ill intentions."

As he spoke, he signaled to his men with his eyes to be prepared to escape at any time.

Although there are some level five dark elves among them, it is still very easy for them to leave given their strength, so they are not that afraid.

"is it?"

Suddenly, an old voice sounded behind him.

The one-armed man and others were stunned at first, then their faces changed drastically, and almost subconsciously, they retreated to both sides.

The speed is so fast that it far exceeds the average fifth level.

however.

But there was a shadow that was faster than him!

In the blink of an eye, he was already behind them!

"Die."

A cold voice, like a death sentence, echoed on the city wall.

puff!
A cold light flashed.

Including the one-armed man, all members of the team stopped moving instantly, their eyes widened, and they covered their necks in disbelief.

But the gushing blood could not be stopped, and only a hoarse sound came out of his throat.

In the end, they all fell to the ground and turned into cold corpses, unable to even resist.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.

The Great Elder has appeared on the black soil again.

The separated crutch was closed again and held in his hunched hand, as if nothing had happened.

Everyone who reacted felt a chill run through their bodies, and stared in horror at the harmless old dark elf.

Especially Brent, who was closest to him, could clearly sense a shadow flashing before his eyes.

By the time he came to his senses, the one-armed man and the others were already dead.

Level six!

This is definitely a level six!
He might even have already stepped half a step into the seventh level, otherwise he would not be able to sense even a trace of his presence.

There is such a terrifying existence among the dark elves?
Not to mention Marlene and her teammates, who had already opened their mouths wide, looking at the city wall in shock, and then looked at the great elder.

Totally unexpected.

This elder who looks very kind can be so terrifying when he fights.

I was shocked, but also overjoyed.

The one-armed man died suddenly, and their crisis was resolved. They no longer had to worry about Marlene being taken away by these hateful guys again.

"All right."

At this time, the Great Elder looked at Marlene.

"Come with us, child."

Hearing this, the other dark elves also looked over at her.

"I……"

Marlene opened her mouth and looked at her teammates behind her, seeming a little hesitant.

But soon, she made a decision and said, "I, I want to stay here. I want to become stronger and stop others from bullying me and my friends!"

"You want to stay out here?"

The elder frowned slightly, then immediately relaxed his brows and looked at the teammates behind her: "It seems that you have met a good partner, but the strength is too weak. You can take these things."

After saying that, he waved his arm, and several black fruits fell into the hands of Marin and her teammates.

Even Brent, who was standing nearby, got one.

"Uh... me too?"

Brent was stunned and didn't react.

He is now in his forties, but in front of the Dark Elf Elder, he is as young as a young man.

"This is a thank you gift for protecting our people. You'd better eat it now. Such a good thing is really a bargain for you." The voice of the ranger captain came slowly.

Brent's eyes lit up when he heard that.

There's no need to think too much. Just eat the black fruit in one bite.

Upon seeing this, Marlene and the others also ate the black fruit.

next second.

A powerful momentum swept over.

The strength of the five members of the team was actually upgraded from level two to level three.

Even Brent's aura became much stronger, even surpassing the level of the one-armed man!
"This...how is this possible!"

Brent looked at his body in disbelief.

Just a black fruit can increase his strength so much that he is already at the top even among the fifth level!

Marlene and the others were extremely surprised and felt that they had become much stronger.

"It's not a good idea to let us eat something so precious, right?" Marlene said hesitantly.

After taking one bite, she instantly advanced to the next level. She had never even heard of such a thing.

"It doesn't matter, just accept what the Great Elder gives you."

The Ranger Captain smiled awkwardly.

Could she say that these black fruits were given to them as rewards by that adult?
"Well...thank you very much, Great Elder." Marlene thanked him quickly, looking very polite.

The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction: "Well, since you choose to gain experience outside, I won't stop you."

Then he looked at Brent who was standing beside him and said, "Human boy, I have a piece of advice for you. Tell your people not to enter the Death Forest casually."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the dark elf team without staying here for long.

It wasn't until they walked away and disappeared into the black soil that Brent and the others finally reacted.

"Don't enter the Forest of Death? What do you mean?"

Several people looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the last sentence of the Dark Elf Elder.

Marlene and the others were still immersed in the joy of getting rid of the crisis and increasing their strength, needless to say.

Only Brent frowned, and suddenly had a terrible guess.

But before he could think about it, a burst of angry curses came from the city wall.

"Damn, where are those bodies?"

"Who's so fast?"

"Damn it! I was thinking of adding extra food tonight!"

There are not only humans living in Crescent City, but also other races, and they don't have taboos in that regard.

This also led to a joke circulating in the canyon.

Crescent City is very clean. You don’t even have to clean up the corpses. They will disappear on their own in the blink of an eye. It’s very convenient.
