Lin Yun knew the method to locate them. He calculated with the Magic Array, and easily figured out where the four pure-blood elves really were. However, the elves didn't know that he could do that. He only had one chance to attack and then escape.
Naturally, none of the four elves saw it coming. The moment they dodged, Lin Yun already moved at his highest speed, and flew away right after the cannonball.
The four elves gloomily and unhesitatingly chased him. When they were distracted, the stranger who was wearing a cloak agilely escaped in another direction.
Lin Yun fled in the opposite direction of the stranger. Because of the emergency a moment earlier, the four elves didn't dare to split up. They hadn't decided which one to chase when both targets vanished.
After flying dozens of kilometers, Lin Yun concealed all his aura and disappeared. He wouldn't be discovered unless he was so unlucky that he ran into another level-7 Heaven Rank Hymn Elf. The weaker Hymn Elves might know the Song of Truth too, but they couldn't possibly keep up with Lin Yun.
After running for 100 kilometers, Lin Yun detected terrifying waves behind him. The scorching sun appeared in the sky, and its dazzling light covered a radius of 100 kilometers in only a couple of seconds.
The moment he felt the sunlight, Lin Yun decisively landed in the forest down below. His skin was covered in water balls. There was also a bright blue rune on his forehead. He then summoned a dozen water elementals.
It was very simple for him to pretend to be a pure water elemental with the Water Elemental Spirit King Embodiment. Besides, there was a lake and a dozen water elementals nearby.
The water elementals that Lin Yun summoned were right at the shore. Lin Yun hid himself among them, and felt no different from other water elementals. Even the wild water elementals weren't hostile. They automatically gathered around Lin Yun on guard...
Exactly at this moment, the scorching sunlight scanned the area and disappeared. At that moment, Lin Yun keenly sensed that someone seemed to have casually glanced at him. He only detected the guy because the latter was too strong.
After the scorching sunlight passed, Lin Yun looked back at the territory of pure-blood elves, and wasn't quite reassured. He was only accidentally involved. Those pure-blood elves were looking for the other guy. After the latter escaped, a level-9 pure-blood elf initiated a search with his ultimate skill. So, Lin Yun had every reason to feel bad...
It was essentially a level-10 probing skill. Everything that was shrouded in the sunlight would be spotted. Also, it could disable all stealth abilities. The greater range it covered, the more exhausting it would be. It had surely covered a radius of at least 800 kilometers...
In such a short amount of time, even if Lin Yun were to take the risk of a space jump, he couldn't possibly jump across 1,000 kilometers. Besides, if he did that, those elves would catch up to him immediately. The waves of the space gate were as obvious to them as a lighthouse in the dark night...
Lin Yun had no idea what the stranger did to infuriate the pure-blood elves so badly that a level-9 Heaven Rank Flame Elf would search for him at such a great cost. That was quite remarkable...
Lin Yun was not in a hurry to go. He stayed by the lake, and sustained his embodiment. It was not until an hour later that he dropped the Water Elemental Spirit King Embodiment, and turned into a normal water elemental embodiment.
His water elemental embodiment had already been upgraded to the highest level. When he used it, and hid his aura purposely, he looked no different from any other water elementals.
He could keep the spell activated for a long time, and the cost would be negligible.
After waiting for one day, and feeling no more danger, Lin Yun finally looked back at the fat kid who had been terrified on his shoulder...
The fat kid seemed quite scared. He kept his eyes closed, not daring to watch what was going on. However, Lin Yun realized something unusual.
Starting from the last illusionary world, it seemed that everybody and all the creatures ignored the fat kid. They might have seen him, but they never did anything about him.
It was understandable in the apocalyptic world, where everybody was numbly waiting for their death. They probably wouldn't bother to look even if anyone was running naked in Heiss City, so Lin Yun didn't find it unusual.
However, come to think of it, the fat kid had the body of a gigantic green caterpillar that was full of protein. The guys in the apocalyptic world who were so hungry that they would eat sandworm meat shouldn't have overlooked him.
In this illusionary world of the Nesser Dynasty, the elves didn't seem to notice the fat kid, either, which was quite unusual...
Lin Yun speculated that it might be the Leopard Tail Worm's special ability. None of the illusionary beings in this world could see the fat kid. Or rather, they would ignore him even if they did. The creatures in this world weren't real anyway. They were essentially just projections of memories...
Leopard Tail Worms were parasites in the Kingdom of Nightmares, and had special abilities here. Lin Yun knew that a parasite should be naturally incapable of preventing itself from being rejected. So, it was normal that none of the creatures in illusionary worlds noticed him.
Lin Yun stayed for 10 days without moving. Three teams of pure-blood elves passed by. They even searched on a large scale once. However, Lin Yun didn't move at all.
10 days later, the pure-blood elves seemed to have given up. Finally, Lin Yun dived into the lake, and left the region through the underground canals of the lake.
Elves were famous for their pride, and the pure-blood elves were the proudest elves. This time, two people had escaped from within their perimeter, which was a heavy smack on their faces. The pure-blood elves would never give up until they caught the two runners. During the 10 days, two level-49 pure-blood elves had taken action...
They would never give up so easily. They might have seemed to give up, but they were too proud to really give up so easily...
Lin Yun's guess was correct. It was true that the pure-blood elves didn't give up. They even sent out experts and investigated the area. They sent out Tree Herders too, which meant that it was impossible to hide in the woods.
Through the underground canals among the lakes, Lin Yun examined the direction and moved forward. The canals didn't seem to have an exit at all. He had swum across more than 3,000 kilometers. He didn't see a channel to the surface. If anything, he was moving deeper and deeper underground.
Lin Yun was not anxious at all. As the water elemental embodiment, he was able to tell the flow of water clearly. After he turned back into the Water Elemental Spirit King Embodiment, he knew that if he moved another 1,000 kilometers forward, there would be a suitable place for him to return to the surface, where the pure-blood elves couldn't be as strong as those near the Eternal Tree, if there were even any.
At this moment, Lin Yun keenly detected an unusual wave in the distance, which couldn't have been caused by a creature that lived in the water. A few seconds later, Lin Yun saw bubbles popping up from another canal, and the stranger wearing a cloak was right there.
Seeing the stranger, Lin Yun put on an awful expression. He spouted two frost runes, which hit the bubbles and froze them. A cube of ice that was dozens of meters tall was condensed in the middle of the river, freezing him.
One second later, the ice exploded, and the stranger, holding a black dragon scale, spouted another bubble. He looked at Lin Yun in panic.
"Don't attack any longer, or you will attract the attention of the obnoxious elves..."
After hearing that, Lin Yun stopped casting the spell he was about to release. He looked at the guy coldly. The guy seemed young and handsome, and was obviously an elf. However, there was a tiny black dragon scale on his chin...
He was a half elf who carried the black dragon's bloodline...
Lin Yun had every reason to feel surprised. Even though the pure-blood elves and the Chromatic Dragons reigned over the Nesser Dynasty, they were not really allies. It was said that the Great Elf King even once fought the Chromatic Dragons' leaders, but there were no detailed records.
The pure-blood elves despised the black dragons the most, and the black dragons were undoubtedly the worst enemies of the pure-blood elves, who fought them almost 10 times.
In the age when the pure-blood elves reigned, ensuring the purity of bloodline was the most important thing, or they wouldn't be called pure-blood elves. The half elves were humble existences. They were either sentenced to death or treated as slaves...
Lin Yun was shocked to see the Heaven Rank half elf who was the offspring of a Destruction Black Dragon and a Flame Spirit. He had met the impossible. This couldn't have been recorded in history.
Although Lin Yun was angry that he was almost killed because of the stranger, the latter was still the best source of information to tell him everything about this place.
After figuring that out, Lin Yun put away his staff.
