Chapter 1252: Chapter 1252

After dealing with that group of elves, what came as a surprise to Du You was that no subsequent elf experts came. Instead, their own development gradually became formalized and sped up. For origınal chapters go to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

Because Du You occasionally went out to hunt wild beasts and Magical Beasts, then transformed them, the number of Undead within this area kept increasing. The surroundings flourished; even some cabins for living were built.

Although these Undead didn’t have any need for them, that was exactly the effect they wanted.

The little town had become a strange yet flourishing Undead town. Under the control of the Bone Dragon, all the Undead Creatures each had their duties and were busy with their own matters, not one of them idle.

The seeds that were planted had sprouted, and with the help of growth scrolls and various growth items that Du You later purchased, they gradually neared maturity, looking like the first harvest was imminent. There were also some fruit trees, and although they wouldn’t plant many big trees here, fruit trees were necessary.

Under the influence of magic, these fruit trees also grew rapidly, and now they bore fruit—probably not long before the first maturity. With magical help, the speed of development was fast.

The animals that were previously difficult to raise had finally completed the breeding process. Batch after batch of animals, under the watchful eye of the Demon Extermination Spirits, didn’t dare make a single move and stayed obediently within their pens.

It looked like in just a few generations, they would be completely domesticated. Pity that this world didn’t have anything to speed up domestication; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so slow, but that would require some time to wait.

Li Mengyao said with a perplexed look, "That’s weird, why haven’t we completed the quest yet? Isn’t the place developing very well now, much better than a forest with no management?"

Xi Qianxue mused, "Perhaps we’ve only fulfilled one condition, and there’s another one."

"Are you talking about the elves? In that case, we have to wait for the elves to send a large force over," Li Mengyao quickly understood what Xi Qianxue meant from her words.

"Leave this matter to me," Du You assured them right away.

While the elves didn’t arrive, they kept developing methodically on their side. The land development was more or less done, and then Lin Yushi came up with the idea of delving into aquatic life, so a group of them started working on the creatures in the water.

For Du You’s skeletons to enter the water, they had to contain their flames, and moving underwater was also very troublesome.

But the skeletons, after all, were of high tier and unafraid of death. After Du You invested a large number of skeletons, they created an interception net underwater, driving away all the fierce creatures, if not killing them.

Then, they began experimenting with fish farming in that area. With the ever-expanding scale of production, Du You gradually found that he seemed to be running out of skeletons to use, so during this time, he could only create a large number of skeletons.

For this, Du You released another Bone Dragon to help take control. By now, Du You had over a million skeletons, a truly terrifying number.

Over a million powerful Undead Creatures, with the help of top-tier beings, could be enough to cause a Heavenly Disaster in this world.

In the blink of an eye, almost a month had passed since arriving at Mirror Lake. Within this month, the edges of Mirror Lake had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Granaries were built one after another, filled with grain and various special crops. If it weren’t for the long distance from other settlements, these things could be taken out for sale. At the same time, a multitude of animals began to breed.

The conveniently breedable creatures had reached large numbers because they couldn’t consume all, so Lin Yushi even captured some carnivorous animals for feeding and domestication.

The town grew increasingly prosperous. If even this didn’t count as completing the mission, then only the elves were left to consider.

At this very moment, the elves finally reacted. The elves of this world had always been slow to respond, perhaps due to living comfortably and securely for too long, without a sense of crisis.

"Haven’t the dispatched guards returned yet? It’s almost a month now."

"It seems they haven’t returned; wait, the situation there hasn’t been resolved either." Finally, they remembered the issue with Mirror Lake; upon connecting through the forest, they realized it indeed wasn’t resolved.

No new big trees were planted; in fact, the lack of big trees was spreading, albeit not by much—but this was a provocation to them. The reactive elves, one by one, were incredibly furious.

"Since they haven’t returned for so long without any news, that means it’s more likely ill-fated than not. If something has happened such that they can’t even send a message, the enemy might have an ultimate being."

"Humph, even if there is an ultimate being, don’t we elves have them too?"

"Please, elders, take action. Such an enemy must not be left alone; otherwise, it will bring major harm to the forest."

The elves, incensed, wished they could face the enemy then and there, tearing them to pieces. After some consultation among the elf upper class, they finally decided what to do next.

"Alright, Emma, Kuris, the two of you elders take a trip there, and make sure to resolve the enemy," one proposed.

No matter how strong the enemy, the involvement of two tier-five ultimate beings should suffice. Even among the Elf clan, reaching tier five was indeed rare. Hearing the chieftain’s words, two elves slowly emerged.

"Leave it to us, no matter who the opponent is this time, we will capture them and make them pay for their actions," Emma said confidently, having never lost a battle.

Thus, the two left without taking anyone else with them. The speed of tier-five powerhouses was very fast indeed.

Although they couldn’t fly for long periods, they could leap from treetop to treetop. Each leap propelled them great distances, saving time and energy, barely slower than flying.

In one day and a bit, the two elf elders finally reached the vicinity of Mirror Lake. Without even resting, they charged straight in, not bothering to conceal their aura.

As soon as they approached, Du You and the two sisters nearly simultaneously detected the arrival of the two elf powerhouses. With the capability of Spiritual Perception, these unhidden figures were like bright lights in the night to Du You.
