Only a handful of players noticed the scene of fairies fluttering away from the World Tree, but since it was too high and too far, almost no one, except for Xia Mu and a few people staking out, could see clearly.
At this moment, the little creature Xia Mu brought surprised everyone.
The little fairy’s dreamlike appearance, cute and captivating demeanor almost instantly ensnared everyone who laid eyes on her.
"What kind of divine creature is this? It’s too kawaii!"
"Hey, hey, keep it down, you’ll scare her!"
"She’s licking a berry, how cute!"
"Adorable, I want to..."
"No, you don’t want to."
"What does she eat? Fruit?"
"Xia Mu said it seems she only eats magic power."
"Pfft... How do you eat magic power?"
"That’s why she licks, didn’t you see how the fruit core shriveled up after she licked it?"
*"Hmm... what you say makes sense, but I suspect you’re trying to be inappropriate..."*
"Hello? Is this 911?"
"Is this the little fairy? Love it, love it, I must contract one as well!"
"Dream on, haven’t you heard Silver Boss Xia Mu say that little fairies value affinity and are incredibly timid? Change your killer hairstyle first, and that face paint. Every time I see you at night, I get scared thinking I’ve run into a ghost..."
The players were incredibly excited.
After this, the craze for Elemental Elves quickly ignited among the players.
Dragons were no longer the most desired contract target for players; it was now the Elemental Elves.
Moreover, the little fairy wasn’t just cute; her support abilities were also exceptionally strong. Even if her combat ability wasn’t on par with dragons, her boost to the player’s capabilities was stronger than that of a dragon.
More importantly, pleasing to the eye, easy to pet, and easy to keep!
They only consumed magic power, unlike some dragons that required gemstones and Gold Coins.
It was said that some Silver Bosses were nearly bankrupted by their dragons...
And... little fairies could even engage in spiritual communication with people!
This was simply the perfect contract partner! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
For a time, a massive influx of players poured into various parts of the Elf Forest, and into the Dark Mountain Range mentioned by Li Mu and Dema, determined to find traces of Elemental Elves and to find ways to bring one into their fold...
As players frantically searched, news of Elemental Elves came from everywhere, and many players also managed to photograph the Elemental Elves in the wild.
However, there were very few, like Xia Mu, who managed to gain an Elemental Elf’s approval.
The little ones were too wary, and too timid. If you couldn’t patiently earn their trust, it was tough to win them over.
And because Elemental Elves were classified as NPCs, players couldn’t use force like they did with Demon Beasts, which further increased the difficulty of contracting one...
However, the unprecedented difficulty of contracting them did not discourage the players, but instead fueled the determination of many.
As a result, Elemental Elves completely became a new symbol of status and identity in the "Elf Kingdom!"
Surprisingly, players discovered that not only could they contract Elemental Elves, but fairy NPCs could as well.
Moreover... fairy NPCs seemed to be even more favored by Elemental Elves than players were.
Take Saintess Alice for example; she merely went to the temple on the World Tree to pray once, and unexpectedly, an adorable Elemental Elf came out of nowhere to make a contract with her...
This left many eager players heartbroken.
But it also provided inspiration for many, suggesting they intentionally mimic the fairy NPCs’ ways of approaching the Elemental Elves.
However, it was clear that Elemental Elves weren’t that easy to fool.
If sincerity wasn’t genuine, it was difficult to gain their approval...
The appearance of Elemental Elves sparked widespread enthusiasm among players, even overshadowing the buzz around the shattered Divine Country by a bit.
At the same time, those Elemental Elves that entered the Dark Mountain Range also started working on smoothing out the chaotic magic power there under Eve’s divine guidance.
Everything progressed in an orderly fashion just as Eve had planned.
At this moment, a group of uninvited guests from afar also arrived near the Elf Forest...
