That's a fake elf

Under the clear moonlight, the calm lake water in the ancient well was filled with waves.

A slender and slender figure broke out of the water, splashing on the lake. Under the moonlight, the flawless white body glowed slightly with silver light.

Gao Lan, whose body was washed away, gently shook his head, letting the water droplets on his black hair splash onto the lake, making a ticking sound.

Slowly swimming to the shore and sitting down, letting the silver liquid flow from his hair to his neck and chest, slowly flowing into the spring water, Gao Lan's tense body finally relaxed a little.

"I never thought I would be able to leave that prison intact."

Gao Lan smoothed the bangs on his forehead, revealing the red lotus mark. Looking at the still flawless reflection on the water, Gao Lan murmured in a low voice while wearing a thin silk lining.

Ever since her escape failed, her limbs were broken by Derek, and she was trapped in that cold iron cage that never saw the light of day, she hadn't truly relaxed for a long time.

Almost every moment, she was afraid of the unknown future.

She was afraid that she, her brother, and Weiyang would all eventually die in a foreign land and become lonely ghosts.

Now that she had escaped and learned that everything was fine with them, and that her injuries had been restored at the hands of her brother's elf friend, she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy about surviving the disaster.

"But how should I thank him?"

Touching his cheek unconsciously, a hint of bitterness suddenly appeared on Gao Lan's face.

Her brother's elf friend risked being hunted by the pirate queen to save her, and also went to great lengths to find a lost family heirloom for her. It was such a great kindness that could never be repaid.

Now she is not only penniless, she has also lost her loyal guard. As a down-and-out princess in a foreign country, she cannot get recognition and respect. The only thing of value is her ability and blood.

"Should we accept him as a disciple? No, it shouldn't be possible. He is a druid. Should he... No, Gao Lan, don't be stupid, don't forget what your mission is... But , Do I really have to follow the wishes of those people... Who are they?"

Just when Gao Lan's face kept changing color like a rainbow and he was thinking wildly, a ripple suddenly appeared on the water.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Li Ang's nose twitched involuntarily as he put away the cloak that Gao Lan left on the ground and still smelled of blood and moonflowers.

Looking vaguely at the direction where Gao Lan was bathing, Li Ang had a wry smile on his face.

They are currently being chased by Naga. Going to bathe alone at this time would be very dangerous if they are attacked.

As a man, he definitely couldn't follow her closely, but Linali definitely could.

"Just let Linali come over. I believe she won't blame me." Liang did what he thought of, and stood up and planned to walk in the direction of the camp.

But at this time, a high-pressure water blade suddenly shot out from the direction of Gao Lan, hitting Li Ang's [barrier] and knocking him away.

[You are attacked by the high-pressure water blade of the mermaid mage Helen (level 65). Due to the weakening of the barrier and magic resistance, you receive 50 points of water magic damage]

"The mermaid's high-pressure water blade? Not good." Li Ang's expression changed as he got up from the ground, and he rushed towards Gao Lan's location without thinking.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Gao Lan, who didn't have time to put on leather armor to cover his body, wore wet silk underwear and held a [Breaking Wind Blade] to fight with the fish-man who suddenly emerged from the lake.

The green sword energy flew on the lake, cutting off the tridents made of cold iron.

As the lake surface was covered with fish-men's broken limbs and blood, a fishy smell rushed into Gao Lan's nasal cavity.

Looking at the fishmen who were still rushing out of the water, Gao Lan's chest began to rise and fall, and beads of sweat fell from his temples.

Having just experienced two fierce battles, her mana and physical strength had not recovered well, and now she was suddenly attacked by a fishman, which undoubtedly made it worse.

"She doesn't have much mana left. Don't let her run away. We have to exchange the hostage for the Queen's [Hibernator of the Waves]!" Helen, the mermaid mage with black hair and blue eyes and a tear mark at the corner of her eye, waved the silver halberd in her hand. Pointing at Gao Lan, he shouted angrily.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp (for the Queen!)."

【Too careless】

Avoiding the trident thrust by the mermaids, Gao Lan relied on his superb swordsmanship to constantly block the water arrows summoned by the mermaid, with a trace of burnt color flashing in his eyes.

Before bathing, although she explored the surrounding woods, she forgot about the dark place at the bottom of the lake under the lamp.

These deep-sea fishmen suddenly appear here, presumably because there is a secret passage connected to the sea at the bottom of the lake.

Now she is besieged by a mermaid and hundreds of deep-sea mermaids. Even if she has extraordinary swordsmanship, she will not be able to escape being captured if no one rescues her.

【Why aren't you here yet?I can’t hold it any longer]

At this moment, Gao Lan was extremely looking forward to Li Ang discovering the situation here and rushing here to help her.

"Oops."

After continuously dodging the attacks of the deep-sea murlocs, Gao Lan's already low physical strength finally gave out, and Helen took a chance.

An extremely sharp [high-pressure water blade] instantly tore apart several murlocs in front of him and slashed at Gao Lan with an unstoppable momentum.

The violent friction between the high-pressure water blade and the [Breaking Wind Blade] spattered countless water splashes, which fascinated Gao Lan's eyes and provided the fishmen with an opportunity to attack.

A black trident directly pierced Gao Lan, who had no time to dodge, and lifted her slender body into the air.

Immediately afterwards, several more tridents pierced Gao Lan's limbs, and the blood sprayed out directly dyed the ground red.

"You idiots, who told you to kill her?"

Summoning the [Prison of Blue Waves] to control the dying Gao Lan, Helen was furious and waved her trident to directly attract overwhelming waves, rushing the mermaids to the shore.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (we didn't use any force, she was just punctured in the internal organs)."

"Idiot, she is a human, not a murloc. Her internal organs were pierced. She will die in less than half a day. How can I take her as a hostage?" Looking at the dancing murlocs explaining, Helen was furious.

[Are you really going to die this time? 】Feeling the emptiness caused by the massive blood loss, Gao Lan's pupils began to become dilated.

"Don't die now. At least tell me before you die who stole the Queen's [Hibernator of the Waves]!"

Seeing Gao Lan who was about to expire, Helen could only use [Tide of Blue Waves] to summon a green wave, which washed over her body and barely held Gao Lan's last breath.

"I won't tell you...Pfft..." Gao Lan spat out a mouthful of blood weakly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"You are looking for death!" Looking at Gao Lan, who was still arrogant even before death, Helen's eyes almost burst into flames, and she swung the trident in her hand and stabbed him.

"Tangled with thorns!"

Countless thorns suddenly burst out of the water, instantly tying the fish-men on the lake into balls. Helen, who was unprepared, was directly hung in the air, and the weapon in her hand was knocked away by the thorns, and she was thrust into her. On the ground.

The caster was restrained, and the [Bibo Prison] that originally trapped Gao Lan was shattered.

[You are finally here] Seeing the figure running towards him in a trance, Gao Lan slowly closed his eyes and fell into the cold lake water, causing countless splashes.

"Damn it!" He jumped into the lake and rescued the already furious Gao Lan ashore. Li Ang quickly pressed the opponent's wound and used [Touch of Nature].

"Hahahaha, it's useless, her internal organs are broken, her limbs are broken, she is dead." Helen, who was hanging in the air, watched Li Ang try to revive Gao Lan, and couldn't help but twist and laugh.

"Shut up." He roared at Helen, who was still talking nonsense. Li Ang looked at Gao Lan, who still didn't wake up after the wound healed, and immediately yelled:

"Wake up, don't sleep, Gao Lan, wake up, wake up, don't you still want to reunite with your brother, don't you still want to find your treasure, don't you still want to take Weiyang and the others home?"

But what made Li Ang a little disappointed was that Gao Lan was still unresponsive, as if he was dead. Not only did his heart stop beating, but even his breathing had disappeared.

"No... no, how could you die?" Li Ang said in despair while pressing Gao Lan's chest.

At this moment, Li Ang suddenly saw Gao Lan's chest rise and fall slightly.

This slight change made Li Ang immediately ecstatic, so he worked harder to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Gao Lan.
