Having taken away the holy spirit crystal of the plague behemoth, the surrounding changes slowed down significantly, leaving only the remaining power within the plague behemoth's corpse to take effect. Even though it became difficult for ordinary species to survive in the area, with the transition, many toxic substances were sure to come into existence, even the possibility of some rare and precious toxic treasures emerging. After all, a colossal beast of the saint tier not only harbors deadly toxins in its body, but also contains a vast amount of life force, enough to alter a large area in its vicinity.
Upon returning to the orc tribe, Bexia discussed this matter with the Lion King. The advice given was for them to relocate entirely, and as for the plague, it was lifted under Bexia's wide-ranging Light of Expulsion. After all, the masterminds behind the scenes were already deceased, and this plague had now transformed into a common one.
As the primary character in resolving this crisis, Bexia naturally gained great favor from the orc tribe. As for the rewards they offered, to be honest, it no longer mattered much, considering the vast difference compared to Arahtys.
After a few days of staying with the orc tribe and discussing some matters with the chieftains, Baizhi and Heitong's mission came to an end, so everyone prepared to return to the Great Tree Sea.
The migration of the orc tribe was out of sight; though the spread of the deadly poison was rapid, it still required time. Planning where to migrate takes time as well, and many orcs were still in the process of recovering, not fit for long-distance migration activities.
Soaring in the sky, even though there were many unexplored places in this world, Bexia did not underestimate it, especially now that Lady Cloud was temporarily unable to wield her powers!
With the gains from Arahtys, this journey was already sufficient. Being too greedy can sometimes lead to disaster.
The Wing of Azure Sky flew back to the Great Tree Sea at an incredible speed. It only took less than half a day to see the outline of the sea, with less than an hour excluding the time spent accompanying the feline tribe.
"Hey, Master, there's a battle ahead!" Conesy possessed extraordinary vision, exceeding the ordinary scope by far.
"Let's go take a look!" Bexia's wings flickered, increasing speed suddenly. Shortly after, he appeared above the location of the battle.
A small-scale skirmish between the elf tribe and goblins was nothing out of the ordinary. Bexia didn't even have the thought of getting involved, simply summoning a few stone giants with a wave of his hand to drive away the goblins.
"You can come out now!" Bexia landed, opening a subspace to release Baizhi, Heitong, and a small wildcat from inside.
"Meow~!" Beibei couldn't help but exhibit cat-like behavior, rubbing its face against Bexia's leg.
"Beibei, go play with Iris!" Bexia patted Beibei's head.
"Yes, Master meow!"
"We're back!" Bexia turned to Baizhi and Heitong.
"Thank you!" Baizhi and Heitong expressed their gratitude simultaneously, noticing the rescued elves.
"Are you Baizhi and Heitong?" A middle-aged elf in simple leather armor was originally planning to come over and thank Bexia, but Baizhi and Heitong suddenly appeared.
"Captain Bauck, what are you doing here?" Baizhi looked at the middle-aged elf with surprise.
"The corner goblins have all gone crazy and are engaging in battles everywhere, we are short on manpower for defense, so I applied to come to the border!" Captain Bauck explained, then turned his gaze towards Bexia and the others, saying, "I suppose you are the guests of the queen! I am the guard captain, Bauck!"
"I'm Bexia, and this is Christine, Conesy!" Bexia pointed to Beibei, who was picking small flowers on the side, saying, "And my daughters, Higan Flower and Beibei!"
Bexia's words were a bit ambiguous, but no one seemed to care about such things.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I'm grateful for your help earlier!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the group left directly, flying low back to the elven territory. Along the way, the battles were constant, especially because the goblins seemed to have become extremely aggressive.
There seemed to be something off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it!
Back at the underground residence of the elves, they immediately met the Elven Queen. Baizhi and Heitong reported on the situation regarding the orc tribe and the events encountered on the way. When they mentioned the ruins, the Elven Queen was quite surprised, and her gaze towards Bexia was different.
"It seems I have to retract my previous statement; you indeed possess something that makes me take notice!" The Elven Queen's eyes pierced Bexia, as if trying to see through him.
"If the queen needs it, I can offer some of my skills in exchange. As for what to trade, it's up to your Majesty to decide!" Bexia casually remarked. Whether to trade or not was no longer significant; at this point, it was just a matter of formality.
"Of course, the price will be to your satisfaction!"
"Well then, I'll prepare first. Once I'm ready, we can proceed with the trade, your Majesty." Bexia said.
"Of course!" The queen lightly tapped her scepter in her hand.
"Bring the guests down to rest!" she commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The elven guard in light armor, with a serious expression, obeyed.
"Please follow me, everyone!"
"Okay!"
Bexia and the others were directly arranged in the queen's palace. As for the so-called recording skills, there was no rush as he had recorded quite a bit before coming back.
"Ah ah—!" x2
Two voices echoed from the sky. Bexia looked up to see two figures descending, catching one in each hand.
"What are you doing climbing up there?" It was naturally Luo Cailing and Luo Ningxian who had stayed here before.
"Ah! Big brother, you're back!" x2
The two little girls spoke synchronously. Bexia put them down and gave their heads a silent tap.
"Big brother, take us away quickly. We can't stand it here anymore, it's so boring!" Luo Cailing said with a mournful look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Bexia asked curiously. Could it be that they were tired of playing here?
"It's not fun here at all; there are hardly any elves, and the food isn't tasty either." Luo Cailing looked at Luo Ningxian and continued, "Xian, don't you think so?"
"...it's not very tasty!" Luo Ningxian hesitated for a moment, thinking others might just say it's okay, but ultimately chose to go along with Luo Cailing's words.
"Wait a moment, we are getting ready to leave this world!" Although the two little girls were a bit mischievous, Bexia still liked them very much. She touched their heads and said, "How about I grill some meat for you?"
"Grill meat!" Luo Ningxian's eyes lit up at the sound of it, the soul of a foodie instantly awakened.
