Chapter 400 The Knight Taking the Blame

For the human kingdom, the Fairy Forest is an extremely mysterious place, where countless descendants of elves live, extremely terrifying monsters hide, and outsiders are extremely rejected.

Gahad has been in a coma for quite some time. The mental trauma caused by the evil god's attack is extremely serious. Although the Holy See has tried its best to rescue him, and even Saint Jevini has ordered the highest level of healing magic ritual to be initiated.

But the effect was minimal and it failed to completely save the situation. After the priests consulted a lot of files and books, they finally found the record about "Morning Dew of the Tree of Life" in an ancient file.

It was a file left by a legendary pope a thousand years ago. During that period, demons invaded and wars raged everywhere. Races from all over the world joined forces to fight the enemy. The elves took out the "Morning Dew of the Tree of Life" to heal many strong people who were mentally traumatized, so it was recorded.

The situation in the human kingdom is currently tense. The power of the werewolf tribe seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes. They have defeated several surrounding races in succession and have reached the border of the Kingdom of Alan. The King of Alan asked the Holy See for help, but the Holy See was also badly damaged by the high-end forces in the battle with the evil god. However, it still sent some forces to support. The result of doing so is that it is really impossible to spare more manpower to search for the 'Morning Dew of the Tree of Life'.

In the end, this important task was undertaken by Genos alone. He left the human kingdom alone, used the Holy See's teleportation array to reach the Cocoon Clan area closest to the Fairy Forest, and then traveled for several days before finally arriving.

After entering the Fairy Forest, Genos was very careful and tried his best to avoid the fairies and half-elves. He was not like Luo Qiu and Meng Li who had elves to lead the way. The fairies were still quite xenophobic. What's more, he was looking for the legendary elf town this time, so he had to avoid those fairies.

The legendary Pope at that time was the only human who was invited to the Elf Land, so the Pope recorded everything he saw and heard, and instructed his descendants in the files not to disturb the Elf Land at will.

The Pope had not expected that the elves suffered severe damage in the war and directly sealed the Elfland after the war. As a result, not many people have seen elves in the past thousand years, let alone going to the Elfland.

This time, in order to save Gahad, Genos had to bite the bullet and look for the elf country based on the information left by the legendary Pope.

After wandering around like a headless fly in the Fairy Forest for two or three days, Genos felt that he should be very close to the Elf Land, because he had not seen any fairies or half-elves in most of the day. This place should be the deepest part of the Fairy Forest, with a very strong breath of life. He was almost at the place recorded in the file.

Because the files recorded that there were terrifying monsters living in the depths of the Fairy Forest, Genos acted more carefully, for fear of disturbing any ferocious beast.

"The Pope is right. This is indeed not a good place." Genos muttered to himself as he looked at his standing hairs. His body had entered a tense state, which meant that there were people around him that he could hardly match.

The surrounding trees were frighteningly tall. Although sunlight occasionally leaked through, visibility was still low. Genos tried to slow down his breathing as much as possible and walked on tiptoe.

He was also wearing a dark grey cloak, which almost blended in with the surrounding environment. Even his aura had changed. It was thanks to this magic item that he was able to avoid the perception of the giant fire wolf just now.

But his luck seemed to have ended there.

"who is it!"

With an old roar, a huge net formed by countless vines fell towards Genos, as if the camouflage of the gray cloak was useless.

"Not good!" Genos's face changed slightly. Without caring about anything else, he drew out the cross sword and raised his hand to use the holy sword skill Aurora to blast forward.

The dazzling holy light shone, illuminating the forest. Under the burning of the holy sword skill, the giant vine net continued to shrink. After a moment, a big hole appeared in its center. Genos seized the opportunity and jumped out of the hole.

"I was scared to death." Genos broke out in a cold sweat. If his reaction had been a little slower, he would have been captured alive.

This is thanks to the evil god Zog, who honed his reaction speed. Before Genos could breathe a sigh of relief, a sound of air explosion piercing the air rang in his ears. Genos cried out inwardly and rolled on the ground in a very inelegant posture.

A vine whip swung almost past Genos' body and hit a tree nearby hard.

Crack, the ancient tree that had grown for who knows how many years was actually broken in half by the vine whip. The thought of such an attack on the body... Genos couldn't help but feel scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

However, the vine whip did not seem to want to let Genos go. It whipped him hard with one whip after another, at a terrifying speed.

Genos was forced to jump up and down, narrowly avoiding the whip's repeated blows.

Just as Genos was complaining, a few spectators not far away were watching the scene with great interest.

"Old Wood is venting his anger. This human should not be the one who stole his things." The voice of the black-armored giant scorpion sounded.

These ancient monsters could all tell that the scent of grass and trees on Genos' body was not strong, which showed that he had not been in the forest for long.

"Hehe, it's because of this guy's suspicious behavior that he bumped into Old Wood's territory." The fish-headed python laughed.

"This old man has no ability and can only implicate others." The Blazing Three-Headed Wolf snorted coldly. It had fought with the Millennium Pine Demon several times recently. This time, seeing another wronged person, it felt a sense of solidarity.

Several magical beasts were watching the show and communicating with each other. This forest had been quiet for too long and it has been very lively recently.

It all seemed to have started from that day when the elves from the outside world brought the true ancestors of vampires and humans here... The fish-headed python turned over gracefully in the water, too lazy to think about it anymore.

The old wood's recent behavior may seem a little stupid, but it has lived for a long time and has gained a lot of wisdom over time. It would be truly foolish to treat it as a piece of rotten wood.

"This human is pretty good. His energy and spirit have reached a critical point and may even break through the limit."

A few minutes passed, and seeing that Genos was still alive and kicking, the black-armored giant scorpion couldn't help but let out a light exclamation, and couldn't help but look up to Genos.

"It's just barely enough. That's the strength of humans." The blazing three-headed wolf said nonchalantly.

“That’s not the case. There were several strong humans back then.” The black-armored giant scorpion retorted.

"It's hard to find people like him now who have broken the limit for the second time. The person in front of us is already considered excellent." The fish-headed python also interjected.

Without the pressure of a country being destroyed and families being ruined, and the insecurity of one's future thousands of years ago, the number of strong people in each major clan today is indeed much less than that in the past.
