Chapter 624
Chapter 624 Moonwater and Follower
They only lasted fifteen minutes before ending!
The organized attacks of the elves were feeble and ineffective against the fully-armed magical machines descending from the skies.
Their fast and accurate arrows were utterly useless before the impenetrable metal machines.
Meanwhile, the flower fairies and blade dancers, who only had close combat skills, had nowhere to run during the area barrage of the magical machines. It didn’t matter how fast they flew; they weren’t faster than the speeding bullets. It didn’t matter how rapidly they swung their elven swords; they couldn’t deflect the storming barrage.
One after another, fairies and blade dancers charged out of their hiding spots. Their sharp claws and blades sent sparks flying and rang out against the metal bodies of the magical machines, but nothing they did could harm the opponent. The other machines that stood in the distance turned their guns without hesitation and drowned this place in a savage barrage of bullets.
They didn’t seem to worry about whether their attacks would harm their own allies.
In truth, there was no need to worry either!
Greem had just moved toward the tree stump when he sensed the overwhelming life aura. He also detected a trace of holy and sacred aura.
Moonwater!
It should be the rumored treasure of the elves– Moonwater.
Greem took a deep breath and turned to give an order, “Go and fetch Alice, quick.”
Deserra had only just acknowledged the order when Alice’s soft and graceful voice rang out.
“No need to call for me, I have come myself!”
Greem laughed out loud, “Eh, what a dog’s nose you have. To think you smelled the air and came here before I even called for you.” Having said that, he started laughing without any restraint or care for his image.
Alice rolled her eyes at him unamusedly.
However, her eyes were drawn toward and fixed upon the layer of green water once she got close to the tree stump.
“Moonwater. It’s Moonwater…”
“What? There’s actually Moonwater here?”
The few witches that had followed along gasped in disbelief.
Alice tilted her head and thought for a moment. She then seemed to have understood something.
She walked to the tree stump and hit it a few times on several spots. She then pulled out a hidden drawer and took out a palm-sized wooden carving.
For some reason, a surge of a profound and strange flux radiated from the wooden carving, causing all living beings that saw it to have the impulse prostrate themselves before it!
“As I expected! Greem, we can’t stay here for too long. This is a village blessed by a deity.”
“Oh! Oh?” Greem was confused, “What is this wooden figure?”
“A treasure like Moonwater shouldn’t appear in a village of this size and population. Yet, it has still appeared here. It can only mean that this place is under the protection of the God of Moonlight. This wooden figure is an idol of the God of Moonlight. The elves of the village are very likely all followers of the God of Moonlight. We might attract great trouble if we stay here for too long!”
“Understood. I will go and arrange our retreat now. I’ll leave everything here to you!” Greem decisively agreed and immediately walked out of the hollow.
“Don’t just look around anymore, people. Work together and move everything here away.” Alice also immediately gave her orders.
The witches gladly moved forward to get working.
Soon, the hollow had been completely emptied of its contents!
