Chapter 214: Chapter 191: New Ability: One Glare at You

...

Dark Night Elf City.

The Ancient Elf Tree shook continuously. The cold pool rippled, and the ground split open.

"What’s going on?!"

"The God of Nature is angry! But why?"

"Could it be... Oh no! Another race has broken into the forbidden underground area!"

The Warriors guarding the Ancient Elf Tree quickly realized what was happening. They felt the tree’s rage and thought of the gravest possibility.

Some other race had used the marriage proposal as a distraction to sneak into the forbidden grounds!

They never considered it could be humans...

After all, the Human Alliance’s army had only just broken through the Celestial Eagle Camp. How could they have possibly reached the Elf City so quickly, let alone infiltrated the forbidden grounds?

"Her Majesty the Queen is still unconscious. What do we do?"

"We don’t have time for that! All guards, with me! Charge into the forbidden grounds!"

"Yes, sir!"

A Great Elf quickly gave the order.

...

Underground Forbidden Zone.

BOOM! A loud crash rang out.

Just as Gao Neng was about to give out, the Ancient Elf Tree finally loosened the roots wrapped around him. But as it let go, it whipped them against his body.

The massive root, like a whip, slammed Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang into the cavern wall.

"Ugh!" Gao Neng spat out a mouthful of blood. His chest felt tight and his head was spinning. If he hadn’t been wearing inner armor, that single lash would have shattered his bones.

’This tree...’

’It’s pretty damn tough!’

It wasn’t just Gao Neng; Fang Tangtang looked like she was in bad shape, too.

In fact, she seemed even worse off than him, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as her face turned from flushed to pale. It was obvious she was seriously injured.

However, their injuries didn’t last for long.

Their bodies were suffused with the energy of the Spring of Life, allowing them to recover quickly. After taking that hit, they actually looked a little better.

Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang glanced at each other, the same thought popping into both their minds.

’The Spring of Life is truly amazing!’

’Maybe we should let the Ancient Elf Tree whip us a few more times?’

Just as they were thinking this, Gao Xiaomeng leaped over. Her body was puffed up like a round ball, every strand of her silver fur standing on end, and her eyes glowed with blue light.

"MEOW!!" Gao Xiaomeng pounced at the Ancient Elf Tree’s root.

CRACK!

The Ancient Elf Tree lashed out, striking Gao Xiaomeng.

Just like Gao Neng, Gao Xiaomeng was sent flying like a rubber ball, smashing into the cavern wall before bouncing off and rolling to one side with a RUMBLE.

"Huh? Your cat’s just like a ball!" Fang Tangtang’s eyes lit up.

"What do you mean, ’a ball’? Go let the Ancient Elf Tree whip you a few more times to stall it. I’m going to dig up a few more ore chunks!" Gao Neng knew they were in the Dark Night Elf City. A commotion like this was bound to alert the Guard Army above.

Time was short.

He had to dig up a few more ore chunks, and fast.

Otherwise, if he failed the mission, he’d lose a skill.

"You’re still going to mine?!" Fang Tangtang thought she was audacious, but hearing Gao Neng’s words still gave her a shock.

To still be thinking about mining at a time like this...

’He really is...’

’Commendably courageous.’

Gao Neng didn’t waste any words. He picked up his shovel and started digging. He only needed five more pieces; he couldn’t give up now. He’d grab the ore and bolt. They couldn’t stay here any longer.

He started digging.

CLINK!

A crystal ore fell into his hand.

Meanwhile, the sound of footsteps approached from not far away.

"MEOW MEOW MEOW!" Gao Xiaomeng fought with the Ancient Elf Tree, buying time.

Fang Tangtang had already drawn her Scythe of Death and was swinging it wildly, but she was still getting whipped around by the Ancient Elf Tree’s roots.

Even so, she managed to land a few hits, causing the golden liquid to spray through the air.

"I’m hurt, but I healed again! Wow, this is great... Wait, I think I’m about to break through! Gao Neng... I’m about to reach the third rank! Are you scared?"

"After absorbing so much, it’d be weirder if you didn’t break through. I broke through too... Crap, the Elf Race’s Warriors are here! Quick... Run!" Gao Neng dug out the last piece of crystal ore and didn’t dare to linger. He didn’t even have time to put away his shovel, just tossing it aside and grabbing Fang Tangtang as he sprinted away.

"Meow!" Gao Xiaomeng immediately leaped back and dove into Gao Neng’s backpack.

The Ancient Elf Tree was furious.

She wanted to ensnare Gao Neng and the others with her roots again.

However, Gao Neng wasn’t about to give her the chance.

He bolted.

At the same time, a loud shout rang out.

"Who dares trespass in the forbidden zone?! Halt!"

"Crap, the elves are here!" Gao Neng’s expression changed. The Earth Dragon appeared in an instant, grabbing him by the back and carrying him and Fang Tangtang into the tunnel they’d come from.

"Quick!"

"They’re getting away!"

"Stop them! What is that thing?!"

The Elf Race’s Warriors arrived.

However, they didn’t get a clear look at Gao Neng or Fang Tangtang. All they saw was a "beetle-like" monster diving into the tunnel.

"After them!"

The elves shouted.

They wanted to give chase.

But the moment he entered the tunnel, Gao Neng threw a punch, collapsing the entrance behind him.

BOOM!

The tunnel collapsed.

The lead Great Elf’s face was grim. His gaze fell upon the Ancient Elf Tree, still spraying the Spring of Life, and a look of intense hatred crossed his face.

The God of Nature was furious!

It was their failure to protect it!

This time, if they couldn’t catch the "culprits," they were as good as dead.

"Go after them! If we don’t catch the ’thieves,’ we will all atone with our lives!" the Great Elf roared, slamming a fist into the collapsed tunnel entrance.

BOOM!

The forbidden grounds shook.

A rock fell from the ceiling.

THUD!

It crashed onto his head.

The rock shattered, but the tunnel before him was now completely blocked.

He wanted to strike again, but one of the Ancient Elf Tree’s roots whipped out and struck him, sending him and more than a dozen guards behind him flying.

BOOM!

BOOM! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

...

The Ancient Elf Tree was utterly enraged.

She didn’t care if they were friend or foe; anyone who entered was sent flying.

"Damn it, damn it all! Dig! Start digging! Even if you have to dig three feet deep, dig them out for me!" The Great Elf scrambled up from the stone wall, spitting blood. He was both furious and frantic.

But it was no use.

The Ancient Elf Tree had truly gone berserk this time.

It was even attacking him.

Most importantly, as a member of the Dark Night Elf Clan, he wasn’t skilled at digging tunnels.

’So infuriating!’

...

Gao Neng could feel the commotion behind him, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

They had been a hair’s breadth from being entangled to death by the Ancient Elf Tree, and then another hair’s breadth from being captured by those Elf Warriors.

’That was way too dangerous!’

’Thankfully, this looks-obsessed world showed me a little warmth. Being handsome really does come with privileges. My luck is just too good, surviving even that.’

"Gao Neng, I’m so hot... I feel like I’m going to explode..." Fang Tangtang’s face was flushed, and being held in Gao Neng’s arms only made her feel hotter.

"Just hold on a little longer! We have to escape the city first!" Gao Neng truly understood now. The Earth Dragon’s burrowing speed wasn’t slow at all; on the contrary, it was incredibly fast.

His calculations had been wrong.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the moment he saw the forest, he had already entered the Dark Night Elf Clan’s territory; it wasn’t the small forest on the battlefield.

Still, they had managed to escape in the end.

’The Dark Night Elf City...’

’I actually went and mined under the Ancient Elf Tree in the Dark Night Elf City?! If I told anyone about this, no one would ever believe me, would they?’

Just as he was thinking this, the notification for mission completion sounded in his ear.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on completing the mission: ’Find an ore vein in the Dark Night Elf Clan’s territory or on the battlefield! (The system will automatically provide one hint.)’"

"Received one chance at the Lucky Prize Wheel!"

"Would you like to spin the wheel now?"

"Duh, spin it!"

’The mission is finally complete. That’s a decent consolation, at least.’

’Otherwise, my poor heart really wouldn’t have been able to take it.’

The Lucky Prize Wheel appeared before him and began to spin...

Spin!

Spin!

"Beep! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the special ability ’Give You a Glare’!"

"’Give You a Glare’?! What the hell is that?" Gao Neng had always known this melon-rind system was a bit of a scam, but this name really left him speechless.

’Can it get someone pregnant with just a glare?’

’If it really works like that, won’t I have endless descendants in the future?’

Gao Neng really didn’t have time to check what this skill did. Escaping the Dark Night Elf City came first.

Besides, the most important thing was that he also felt hot enough to explode.

He had to let off some steam.

Preferably by getting laid.

Otherwise, he might actually explode and die.

"Gao Neng... go a little faster, put some more power into it! I... I can’t take it anymore..." Fang Tangtang kept shouting, constantly tugging at her collar.

"Nghhh!!!" Gao Neng’s eyes practically popped out of his head.

Because, under Fang Tangtang’s constant pulling, her small collar was torn open, revealing a sliver of crystal-clear, snow-white skin. And she kept pulling it further down.

"Gao Neng, hurry up!"

"I’m going as fast as I can!"

"Go faster!"

"Can you please fix your clothes first? Stop tearing them!"

"I’m hot..."

"I’m fucking hot too!" Gao Neng really was hot. He had absorbed far more of the Spring of Life than Fang Tangtang, and now he was forced to hold her in his arms.

And on top of that, the chick was taking off her clothes.

Who could possibly stand this?

If he weren’t desperately fleeing for his life, he’d have the urge to pin Fang Tangtang to the ground... and give her a good, hard spanking to blow off some steam!

"I can’t take it, I really can’t! Quick... break through to the surface... If this goes on, I’m really going to explode! I have to get out and fire off a couple of rounds!" Sweat poured off Fang Tangtang like rain. Her eyes had turned red, and she was unconsciously grinding against Gao Neng’s body.

"We haven’t gotten that far, have we? If we surface now, we’ll probably be discovered!" Gao Neng was also drenched in sweat, his teeth clenched tight.

"Go up! Hurry up and go up! I’ll fire off a couple of rounds and then we’ll leave!"

"Fine!" Gao Neng didn’t refuse this time, because he was about to explode too. If they didn’t surface and vent some of this energy, both he and Fang Tangtang might just burst underground.

This time, there was no easy relief.

After all, his current energy level had reached an unprecedented peak.

BOOM!

Carrying Fang Tangtang, Gao Neng burst violently from underground.
