Chapter 709 – Elven Arrow
And most importantly, the Purple Flame Pirates that escaped didn’t know their current movements. All the pirate spaceships that they captured were cut off from all communication and were unable to contact the outside world. They also used the 33 Sky Wings warship to block all signals and prevent any possibility of being tracked.
Hence, the possibility of them being intercepted was very small. Right now, it depended on whether they could successfully complete the mission. If everything went smoothly, it would be a huge profit.
The rare metals in their hands were enough to make Two-Word Battle Armors for everyone. They sold the money they got from the two warships and exchanged it for emblems to distribute to everyone. En, it was probably enough for them to pay him for their One-Word Battle Armors. They had the metals needed for forging the Two-Word Battle Armors, but as for the forging fee, they could talk about it later. Anyway, Lan Xuanyu felt that he was quite rich now.
He was still very interested in antimatter missiles and was prepared to go back and ask the Tang Sect if they could sell some to them. With this thing, they would be able to make their Meteor-class assault warships almost invincible against those of the same rank!
Just as Lan Xuanyu was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Yuanen Huihui’s voice through his soul communication device. “Big brother Xuanyu.”
“What is it, Huihui?” Lan Xuanyu returned to his senses.
Yuanen Huihui’s voice was slightly grave. “I think I have somewhat guessed a little about those traitors.”
Previously at the exchange, it was not convenient for Lan Xuanyu to ask him. Now that they were outside, everyone was connected through the soul communication device and helmet, so there was naturally no risk of being eavesdropped.
Lan Xuanyu asked, “What did you mean by dark elves?”
Yuanen Huihui’s tone was filled with rage. “Our planet was originally very strong. Honestly speaking, if our planet was at its peak, it wouldn’t have been so easy for the Federation to take over us. But the elves were severely injured.
“You’ll understand when I say this. The Elven Dragon of our elven race is our strongest companion. When an Elven Dragon grows up, it even has the strength of a god. There were over 20 Elven Dragons in the past, but a rebellion later caused a large number of Elven Dragons to die and some were taken away. There are only seven left, and four of them are still asleep. This caused the overall strength of our elven race to weaken.”
“The ones who betrayed you are the dark elves?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
“En, that’s right. The dark elves wanted to snatch the Elven Cave and control all the Elven Dragons, so they suddenly launched a war. The dark elves were originally a powerful bloodline and were almost as strong as us. They suddenly launched a war and caused us to suffer heavy losses. My grandmother’s father, the previous Elven King, died in the hands of the Dark Elven King.
“Although we won in the end, the dark elves took away the Elven spaceship that our elven race had spent countless years researching and manufacturing. They also destroyed all the information related to the technology, preventing us from going into space again, and many of our people died in that battle. If not for our Elven King sacrificing his life at the last moment and placing an Elven Arrow in the hearts of every dark elf, I’m afraid that all of us would have died and they would have been the victors.”
“What is an Elven Arrow?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
Yuanen Huihui said, “That is the forbidden spell of our elven race. The Elven King would only use it as a last resort and only the Elven King knows about it. In the history of our race, that was also the only time that a king used the Elven Arrow. After using it, an Elven Arrow would appear in the hearts of all the elves, also known as the Elven Heart Questioning Arrow. If any of the elves wanted to hurt their own kind, even among the dark elves, the Elven Arrow would be immediately triggered and kill them.”
“Originally, we couldn’t defeat the dark elves, but with the Elven Arrow, our people sacrificed themselves and dragged a large number of dark elves down with them, causing them to have no choice but to escape. That generation’s Dark Elven King also died under the Elven Arrow. With the Elven Arrow, they didn’t dare to return, but our race suffered a serious injury and after more than a hundred years of recuperation, we still haven’t recovered. After encountering the Federation, we had no choice but to sign a contract with the Federation.”
There was no doubt that these were the secrets of the elven race. Lan Xuanyu could feel how tragic the battle was when he heard this from Yuanen Huihui. The ancestors of the elven race had relied on the Elven Arrow and didn’t hesitate to sacrifice themselves to chase the dark elves away.
“So what you’re saying is that the Black Forest pirate crew might be the dark elven race that escaped from the Elven Planet?” Lan Xuanyu already understood what Yuanen Huihui meant.
“En, it might be.” Yuanen Huihui’s tone was somewhat heavy.
Lan Xuanyu: “Do you want revenge?”
Yuanen Huihui shook his head bitterly. “We won’t be able to take revenge. At least, we won’t be able to. The Elven Arrow also applies to us. They won’t be able to return, and we won’t be able to chase after them unless the entire clan perishes together with them. The dark elves are very strong. We’ve found their tracks this time, and I have to tell Grandma about this when we return, but I’m worried that she will be sad. Big brother Xuanyu, what should I do?”
Lan Xuanyu thought for a moment and said, “Although it has been a long time, this is a big matter for your entire clan and I don’t think we can hide it. Also, the Elven race is now a part of the Douluo Federation, so you can inform the Federation about your hatred and see what they have to say. If the Federation is willing to take revenge for you, with the strength of the Federation’s seven space fleets, annihilating a Black Forest pirate crew shouldn’t be a problem.”
“En.” Yuanen Huihui nodded.
Right at this moment, there was a flash of light and the Heavenly Stems Qilin appeared from the rocks below, reverting back to Tang Yuge’s appearance.
Lan Xuanyu raised his hand and the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass wrapped around her, stimulating the elemental power in her bloodline.
Tang Yuge shook her head at him, obviously not finding anything.
“Then let’s go somewhere else.” Reality proved that this was an extremely barren planet. At least within Tang Yuge’s field of vision, they had changed a few places but didn’t find anything.
Tang Yuge was currently able to go nearly 200 meters underground and her perception was stronger in the crust, allowing her to probe a large area.
They changed a few places consecutively and spent about four hours surveying the area. Even when Tang Yuge was exhausted, they still didn’t find anything.
“Xuanyu, what should we do? Should we explore further?” Tang Yuge asked.
After some thought, Lan Xuanyu shook his head and said, “No, we’ve already searched many places but we still haven’t found anything. We don’t have enough oxygen in our helmets for a place further away and it will take up too much time. The possibility of gaining anything is still very small. Let’s go back and give up on this mission.”
