139: The Fire Elf Princess' Request

The direct surge of intent into Mo Yan’s mind made him instantly understand that communication with these elemental beings required no words.

He didn’t speak, but instead activated his Mental Energy and transmitted a thought.

“I am here to hatch an egg and need to borrow your spring water.”

He took out the Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix egg to show it.

The Elf Princess with the fiery crown, upon seeing the egg, her flames flickered violently.

The surrounding little Fire Elfs also emitted faint flashes of light, as if whispering among themselves.

“Descendant of a Divine Bird…”

The Elf Princess’s intent came again, tinged with surprise.

“However, the Elf Spring is our Origin and cannot be easily given to outsiders.”

Her light dimmed slightly, conveying a sense of difficulty.

“My Lord,” Bai Lingyue whispered into Mo Yan’s ear, “This Elf Spring is as important to them as our heart is to us; they won’t agree easily.”

Mo Yan was not surprised by this and directly threw out his bargaining chip with Mental Energy.

“I am not here to seize it, but to trade.”

“Is there anything you need my help with? Anything, as long as I can do it, can be a condition for exchange.”

The Elf Princess fell silent.

The fiery crown on her head flickered, as if she were deep in thought.

The surrounding Fire Elfs also quieted down, nervously watching their Princess.

After a long while, the light on her body stabilized again.

“Our fire seed heart was stolen by an evil monster.”

“Without the fire seed heart, we will also disappear.”

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze instantly sharpening.

There was no such thing as a free lunch.

To obtain the legendary Elf Spring, he first had to help them solve their problem.

He didn’t respond immediately, but turned his head to look at Bai Lingyue beside him: “fire seed heart?”

Bai Lingyue understood, leaning into his ear: “The fire seed heart is the core of the Fire Elf Clan’s life Origin, equivalent to our heart and demon core.”

“Once lost, their clan will wither like rootless duckweed until they perish.”

“For these naturally timid and gentle elemental spirits to actively seek help from outsiders, it seems they’ve truly been pushed to a dead end.”

“My Lord, this is an excellent opportunity.”

Mo Yan naturally understood.

This was not only an opportunity to obtain the Elf Spring, but also to gain their favor.

He refocused his gaze on the Elf Princess floating in the center of the spring.

“What kind of monster? Where is it?”

The fiery crown on the Elf Princess’s head flickered, recalling something unpleasant.

“A huge monster made of fire and rock, emitting a disgusting Abyssal aura.”

“A long time ago, it broke in here, stole our fire seed heart, and then built its nest above our sleeping place.”

“It used the power of the fire seed heart to pollute this ley line, becoming stronger and stronger.”

Fire, rock, Abyssal aura, entrenched above…

Mo Yan instantly thought of the same name.

Flame Demon Leader!

So that guy became so powerful by stealing the treasure of the Fire Elf Clan.

Mo Yan understood, and a soothing thought passed through his mind.

“The monster you mentioned has already been killed by me.”

As this thought emerged, the entire underground space instantly fell into an eerie silence.

All the Fire Elfs stopped flickering their lights and uniformly looked at Mo Yan.

The light on the Elf Princess’s body flickered even more intensely, conveying an unbelievable emotion.

“You… are you telling the truth? That evil aura that has been haunting us day and night… was it cleared by you?”

“That’s right.” Mo Yan’s intent was concise and firm, “Just recently, its nest, along with itself, was completely cleaned up by me.”

The Elf Princess fell silent.

She seemed to be sensing the changes in the outside world in her own way.

After a long time, the soft orange light on her body became brighter than ever before.

“Yes… that evil aura has truly disappeared…”

She slowly bowed her body, formed of light and flame, towards Mo Yan, and the small fiery crown on her head also lowered.

“Great human warrior, please accept the Fire Elf Clan’s most sincere respect.”

Immediately after, hundreds of Fire Elfs in the spring also bowed deeply towards Mo Yan.

Silent gratitude transformed into specks of warm light, permeating the entire space.

The Soldiers behind him were dumbfounded; although they couldn’t hear the mental communication, the fantastical scene before them was enough to make them understand that their lord had once again solved a huge problem in a way they couldn’t comprehend.

“Did My Lord… communicate with these flame monsters?”

“It seems so, look at them, they seem to be thanking My Lord!”

Bai Lingyue looked at Mo Yan’s back, her eyes growing more infatuated.

Without expending a single Soldier, with just a few words, he made the Fire Elf Clan prostrate in reverence.

How many secrets did this man still hide?

Mo Yan calmly accepted their respect, then posed the most crucial question.

“Since the monster is dead, what about your fire seed heart? I didn’t find anything similar on its corpse.”

The light on the Elf Princess’s body dimmed again.

“It hid the fire seed heart in a very evil artifact, using it as the energy core of that artifact.”

“We can feel that the fire seed heart is nearby, but its aura is enveloped by powerful Abyssal power, so we cannot approach it.”

Evil artifact?

Energy core?

A bold guess surfaced in Mo Yan’s mind.

He directly took out the Abyssal Fire Demon Summoning Altar from his talent space!

Boom!

The moment the three-meter-tall, hideous, ancient Flame Demon statue appeared, the lingering Abyssal aura suddenly spread out.

All the Fire Elfs let out terrified mental screams, scrambling to hide in the depths of the spring, and even the Elf Princess couldn’t help but retreat, her flames flickering violently, as if they could extinguish at any moment.

“It’s it! It’s this thing!”

“The fire seed heart… it’s inside! It’s wailing!”

The Elf Princess’s intent was filled with pain and anger.

“Sure enough.”

Mo Yan understood.

The Flame Demon Leader used the fire seed heart as the energy for this Epic Soldier building!

This explained why the altar, even though damaged, could continuously summon Low-level Fire Demons.

Bai Lingyue looked at the altar, then at the trembling Fire Elfs, and a look of realization flashed in her eyes.

She leaned close to Mo Yan, lowering her voice: “My Lord, this is troublesome.”

“This altar and the fire seed heart are probably bound, and trying to forcibly remove it might destroy both of them.”

“I know.”

How could Mo Yan destroy this Soldier building?

And for him to give up the Elf Spring?

That was even more impossible.

In his dictionary, there were no such words as “give up.”

Only children make choices, he wanted both!
