For my elves, I die, I die

"Rang!" Flying Mantis looked excitedly at Xia Che in front of him and Pikachu, who had half of his head exposed.

"Flying Mantis, long time no see." Xia Che took out the key and slowly opened the iron cage.

He just got the key from the two trainers who were guarding it.

"Rang!" The flying mantis happily rushed out of the iron cage.

When Xia Che approached it just now, it was a little scared. After all, the masked man looked scary to it.

But unexpectedly, Xia Che came back.

"I'm going to let everyone out first." Xia Che said gently, and then walked to the next iron cage.

Except for the Flying Mantis, who was kept alone in an iron cage, most of the other elves were gathered together in small groups.

So it would be very convenient for Xia Che to release them.

Soon, under the cheers of all the elves, Xia Che opened the iron cages holding them one by one.

Among these elves, Trumpet Ya accounts for the majority. After all, the location of this stronghold is where Trumpet Ya originally lived.

"Ya Ya~! Ya Ya~!" After many trumpet buds came out, they gathered around Xia Che and shed tears.

"You don't have to be afraid anymore. As long as I'm here, I will definitely protect you." Xia Che said softly as he knelt down and touched the elves surrounding him.

Not long after, after appeasing all the elves, Xia Che stood up and looked around.

This stronghold is very large, and no one has noticed that Xia Che has released the elves here.

However, after confirming from the two people just now that Liang Taiyi and Theodore were not there, Xia Che no longer worried about whether he would be discovered.

Looking at the elves with many scars around them, Xia Che's eyes flashed with guilt, but immediately turned cold again: "Now, revenge has begun..."

……

"It's been more than two hours...when can we go out."

In the tent, Hill was playing Pokémon cards with the two companions in front of him, while he kept complaining.

It has been a while since Ryo Taichi and Theodore took their people out, but they were not assigned to the exploration group, so they were left at this construction base.

"I think there is no chance today. Let's wait until tomorrow. Anyway, after the secret realm is completely integrated, we will have plenty of time. Don't worry." A companion replied with a smile.

"When the secret realm was first opened, the resources were the most abundant! We were wasting our time here, and they would have made a lot of money by going there first." Hill was dissatisfied.

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is the search officer's order."

The three were helpless.

At this time, Hill said again: "Tell me, when we first met these elves, they were obviously very fierce. Why have they suddenly become so docile now?"

Hill felt strange.

"Yes, I also find it strange that there is no sense of urgency at all in this A-level dangerous secret realm."

"Hehe, I know why." The third person smiled slyly at his two companions.

"Why, tell me quickly."

Seeing his companion's urging, he didn't hold back and expressed his opinion directly.

"In my opinion, those elves we met at the beginning were most likely infected by the aphrodisiac potion developed by Dr. Ku Lai. I have seen this thing in the academy before!"

"Aphrodisiac potion?"

"Not bad!"

Then, he explained the effect of this thing to the two of them.

"This..." Hill took a breath, "But why did the investigator do this?!"

It's obviously an ordinary secret realm, so why did the investigator describe it as an A-level dangerous secret realm and use aphrodisiac potions to disguise it.

"What's the matter? It's normal, okay?"

The third person looked surprised.

"The investigator is the leader of our exploration of the secret realm this time. As the leader, he wants to get more benefits, so what?"

"This...but, isn't this against the league's regulations?" Hill was relatively simple.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive! Don't be so stupid." The person who spoke clearly seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot become steel.

"Let me ask you, you said that if you develop the secret realm honestly and according to the original rules, we will get more benefits; or as it is now, we can catch all kinds of elves and get various resources in the secret realm at will, and we will get more benefits. ?”

"This..." Hill frowned: "If we don't consider some dangers we may encounter, it is indeed better to be as we are now. We can control whatever resources we encounter, and the elves can catch them whenever they want."

"So! Hehe, do you think everyone hasn't discovered the strangeness of these elves? But so what, it doesn't do us any harm." The speaker became more and more proud.

Being able to show off his intelligence in front of his companions made him feel quite superior!

"Hmm... That makes sense." After some thought, Hill finally nodded slowly and agreed with this point of view.

"So, just wait and see. What we have gained this time will definitely make others envious of us when we return to the academy."

So, the three of them started playing cards again.

"Ya Ya~" At this moment, a cry came.

"Huh? What's the sound?" Hill reacted first and looked towards the entrance of the tent.

A small emerald green figure was half exposed.

Hill was a little confused and quickly stepped forward to open the door to check.

At first glance, he immediately looked shocked!

"Come and see! All the trumpet buds have escaped!" He looked scared at this time. There were really too many trumpet buds in front of him. They were so densely packed that it felt like there were almost hundreds of them, surrounding their tent.

Although I don’t know how these elves escaped, this scene is very scary.

If these trumpet buds go crazy, the three of them will definitely be doomed.

However, after he shouted, he didn't receive the slightest response.

This made Hill more and more anxious. He quickly turned around and put the two of them on guard.

"Ah!" But when he turned around, Hill shouted out in fear.

At the same time, he sat down on the ground, his legs shaking constantly.

A strange man wearing a white mask with an evil smile and a black robe was actually right behind him, looking at him coldly.

With a glance, he saw that the two people who had been chatting and laughing with him just now were lying on the ground, and the blood flowing from their heads was flowing along with the rain on the ground.

boom!

A thunder flashed in the sky.

The sound is as loud as the sky.

"You...who are you!" Accompanied by the thunder, Hill's trembling and frightened voice came out.

Xia Che didn't respond and waved directly.

An electric shock pierced his heart and then spread throughout his body.

After a violent convulsion, Hill fell to the ground and became silent again.

Then, Xia Che started a new round of clearing operations in the stronghold.

To him, these people may not pose any threat, but to the elves in the secret realm, their damage will be much greater than that of Ryo Taichi and Theodore!

Those two people generally have no interest in these ordinary elves, but these people are different.

Now, since the two of them are not in the stronghold, for Xia Che, it is the best opportunity to deal with these people.

boom!

Thunder roared.

An hour later, Xia Che stood on top of a large tent. There was no sound in the stronghold.

"The next one is...Ryou Taichi." Xia Che said to himself as he touched Pikachu in his arms.
