"Respected Elder, do you happen to know where Holy Priest Smey is now?" Gortani asked urgently after hearing Elder Tang Jin’s words.
"We Tauren have seven major camps, each with a thousand members, each one guarding several of the larger well and ladder exits. That man has not come to our camp, I only received news of him in the last two days from the scouts dispatched by other clans. Had you not come, perhaps I would have continued to conceal this information. Forgive my saying, perhaps some of the tribe’s descendants are tired of this way of life, I fear they would not be able to resist this temptation." Elder Tang Jin said with a bitter smile.
"We are not tired! Elder! To repay our Cave Dweller friends for their ancestors is the duty of every Tauren warrior!" The antelope warrior Duncan sincerely responded immediately.
"I can understand." Liu Zhenhan nodded: "Then do you have any idea where this man is planning to go?"
"The underground world is simply too vast, beneath every well and ladder might lay a new world. If this gentleman entered the second layer of the Black Domain Continent, there would likely be no way to find him, we simply have to wait for him to return to the Furious Flame Continent on his own." Elder Tang Jin happily chuckled before continuing his explanation.
"Wait for him to return? The area of the Furious Flame Continent is not small either, how would he contact you once he’s back on the Furious Flame Continent? He’s unfamiliar with the place and you all live in the underground ladder cave." Gortani asked again.
"This is all thanks to Trist. He trained many owls for us to communicate between camps. When that man left, our clansman gave him an owl to communicate with us." Elder Tang Jin smiled as he looked at the Dark Elf, who respectfully bowed in modesty.
"I can communicate with all the small animals on the Furious Flame Continent." The Dark Elf, Trist’s, eyes gleamed with a pride and arrogance that even the most noble of kings would envy.
"As far as I know, Dark Elves don’t seem to have this ability." Daisy seemed a bit confused.
"I’m a ranger of the darkness." The Dark Elf chuckled, "I once had a mentor, he was blind. He taught me what it’s called ’The Heart of a Ranger’.... By the way, my mentor also came from the Surface World, he was a human."
"Then can you communicate with my parrot, to see what it wants to say to you?" Liu Zhenhan moved the parrot standing on his shoulder closer to Drow with his fingers.
Drow tilted slightly backwards, closing his eyes as he reached out and gently stroked the little parrot’s head. Suddenly the Dark Elf’s face turned red.
Although his skin was quite dark, a strong blush was clearly visible on his face.
"Haha..." The people around burst out laughing, much to the confusion of the Taurens.
"Fool~" The parrot arrogantly scolded, beak open, as if it were an eagle.
"I really have the heart of a ranger." The Dark Elf’s face became even redder.
As if to prove his words, an agate carving suspended on the Dark Elf’s chest emitted a purple halo. A black panther emerged from the star-lit boundary and stood before them all. The panther’s face looked more like a kitty than a panther. If not for its fangs and claws, most would have mistaken it for a big cat.
"Wow! Cool cat!" Liu Zhenhan looked at this nimble big cat, unable to resist stroking its glossy black head. "Its color is just like the bottom of my pan."
Drow’s face reddened even more, his skin tone was also not much different from the bottom of a pan.
The big cat apparently couldn’t tolerate being underestimated, it extended its tongue and fiercely licked Liu Zhenhan’s finger, nuzzling his head against Liu Zhenhan’s hand as if to show affection.
Guoguo stared at the big cat with wide eyes. The big cat also noticed the little thing, and lowered its head to look closely at Guoguo. The look in its eyes was one of intense confusion-----------------------Guoguo’s loincloth was made of leopard skin. The cool cat smelt the scent of its kind on it. Although it was skeptical of such a small being being its kind, the cool cat still extended its tongue to lick Guoguo. For original chapters go to noᴠelfire.net
"My Guanhai Fa really likes you, it seems you also possess the heart of a ranger." The Dark Elf smiled at Liu Zhenhan.
"Really?" Liu Zhenhan laughed complacently, he was thinking, was it because he has the heart of a ranger that when he met Guoguo, the little fellow decided to follow him unconditionally?
How come I only found out about this peculiar ability of mine now? Liu Zhenhan felt a bit elated.
"Lucky beasts and goblins alike, they both enjoy following powerful beings." Upon seeing Richard’s indulging demeanor, Nana couldn’t help but pour cold water over him.
A group of Tauren women brought piles of mushrooms just in time to save our overlord from embarrassment. The mushrooms were a kind of two-meter-high fungal plant that resembled an umbrella, it could be found everywhere underground. The Tauren women used these mushrooms to light several bonfires and brought over large pots of food. Even though they were a bit rough in preparation, the aroma was captivating, bringing to Liu Zhenhan a sense of homely warmth.
Liu Zhenhan noticed that the "Underground Sun" above them, the Golden Crow, began to emit silver light instead of golden.
An owl with horn-shaped tufts of feathers flew in through the stone door, hooting twice before landing on the Dark Elf’s shoulder. The Dark Elf stroked it affectionately while hooting back in return.
