Chapter 1449: Elf King’s Request (2)

Shen Yanxiao was no stranger to pollution, as Shui Ling had died because of it.

She had also seen many corpses of elves that had died due to pollution, but the traces on those corpses were far less frightening when compared to the traces on the Elf King’s body.

Just a little pollution was already enough to kill an elf. How did the Elf King survive with so many negative emotions boiling inside him?

Shen Yanxiao could not imagine that the Elf King’s att.i.tude had always been gentle. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not believe that he had been contaminated to this extent.

How strong must one’s willpower be to suppress their negative emotions?

At that moment, Shen Yanxiao could not help but feel respect for the Elf King. No wonder the lifespan of the previous Elf Kings was so short. It was not because of their physique, but because they had endured all the pain without anyone knowing.

That was also the reason why pollution had existed for thousands of years but had yet to erupt.

This was an impenetrable wall built by the previous Elf Kings using their blood and flesh.

“I am about to reach my limit, but the condition of the Tree of Life has worsened over the years. Therefore, I had no choice but to detain Taotie in the dungeon, hoping that he could help the elves tide through this crisis one day. I know you hate me, but I would like to ask you to save the elves. If this continues, the elves will completely disappear from this world in another thousand years!” The Elf King’s expression was filled with despair. Who could understand why he was watching the Tree of Life decline day by day and the number of his people decreasing day by day?

Compared to the period when the war between G.o.ds and devils was erupting, the number of elves today was less than one-tenth of what it was back then!

The Elf King could no longer control the spread of pollution. Even if he tried his best to absorb a large amount of pollution, he could not save the elves.

Despair flooded the Elf King’s mind and body.

Shen Yanxiao was surprised. She did not expect the pollution to be so serious.

“It’s better to help the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe! Please save the elves.” The n.o.ble Elf King shed a tear. This was his fear of racial genocide and his frustration at his incompetence.

Shen Yanxiao gritted her teeth and said, “I can ask for Taotie’s help, but you have to promise me that you will recover the status of the Moons.h.i.+ne Tribe after this is done! As for your life, I don’t care about it. Be a good Elf King, and don’t let this tragedy be repeated.”

The Elf King looked at Shen Yanxiao. Shen Yanxiao’s condition was so simple that it was hard to believe.

In such a situation, he would not blink even if Shen Yanxiao wanted to hack him into pieces. However, she did not take advantage of him. She chose to save the elves, almost unconditionally.

“I promise you,” the Elf King said excitedly.

Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and said, “I have another condition.”

“Please speak!”

“I want a branch of the Tree of Life.” Shen Yanxiao did not forget that the completion of Clemance required a branch of the Tree of Life.

“No problem!” As long as it could save the Tree of Life and eliminate the pollution, not to mention a single branch, the Elf King could even gift all the fruits on the Tree of Life to Shen Yanxiao.

“I’ll talk to Taotie.” Shen Yanxiao stood up. Even though she was not a real elf, it had affected her greatly.

The Elf King leaned against the chair as he watched Shen Yanxiao leave.

“Xiaoya, you have a good daughter.”
