Magic street lights quickly lit up in the royal city, illuminating the sky for several meters and the panicked and noisy elves.

"Mr. Gu, look at those elves..." Bai Zhi had sharp eyes and suddenly discovered several unusual places.

Gu Xingyan looked in the direction Bai Zhi pointed.

I saw that the hair of some elves, which was originally a beautiful green, now had a faint black color.

Their golden pupils also began to turn as dark as ink, and angry and ferocious expressions appeared on their faces.

Gu Xingyan's heart skipped a beat.

She remembered Hobby's transformation. His temperament changed drastically. He became violent and bloodthirsty. He killed the person who destroyed the money tree without saying a word.

It turns out that Hobby is not the only one who is special. His elf tribe obviously hides many dual-attribute elves like him.

Moreover, the elves around were already used to it, and the way they looked at their companions did not change.

This is different from the elf NPC in the magic game dimension. There is no need to cut ties or engage in infighting.

Those elves that had not transformed tried their best to hold down their companions who were out of control, opening and closing their mouths and loudly reminding them of something.

Those elves who were about to "turn dark" managed to control themselves and did not completely turn into dark elves.

They knew that there were distinguished guests from the Plane Building in the royal city today, and they all looked back guiltily, making it clear that they did not want the guests to know.

Gu Xingyan understood their expressions and said to Bai Zhi, "Just think of it as a mistake."

Bai Zhi nodded, "I must have seen it wrong."

Not long after, a few elves flew back from the distance.

As they flew, they shouted loudly, "Don't panic! A branch of the World Tree has broken off and is covering the Royal City, blocking the light!

"Everyone who is free, go and help! Quickly!"

After hearing this, the elves, who were originally in a panic, seemed to have found their backbone.

They flapped their wings and flew out of the royal city. Suddenly, most of the prosperous royal city was empty.

Rita and several other elves did not leave. They flew back and were responsible for comforting Gu Xingyan and Bai Zhi.

Rita smiled gently and said, "Please don't worry, my two guests. This is just a small accident."

Gu Xingyan nodded to show her understanding, and couldn't help but sigh, "Humans are really insignificant in front of the World Tree.

"Just a branch can plunge the entire royal city into darkness."

Gu Xingyan asked Rita: "Do you need our help?"

Rita shook her head: "Thank you, this kind of thing happens all the time, we elves can handle it ourselves."

Gu Xingyan asked with concern: "Do branches often fall?"

Rita realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly made amends: "Ah, no, I mean, occasionally...occasionally it happens."

Gu Xingyan didn't think much about it. Plants dropped their branches and leaves just like metabolism.

Instead, it was Rita who stuttered and changed her words, which was a bit suspicious.

Seeing that Gu Xingyan didn't ask any more questions, Rita secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If the customers knew that the World Tree often had problems, how could we talk about cooperation?

As it was getting dark early, Rita asked Gu Xingyan and Bai Zhi to rest early, and she and the other reception elves left first.

After they walked away, the spirits of several elves collapsed instantly.

They huddled together and looked up at the dark sky worriedly.

“I hope this time it can be resolved smoothly…”

"Don't let any elves be killed or injured..."

The next day, Gu Xingyan woke up at daybreak.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains, casting a few faint halos.

Gu Xingyan watched all this as if she was used to it. She only felt that the sky was still a little dark, not as dazzling as previous sunrises.

When she was halfway through washing, she suddenly realized——

The branches of the World Tree that blocked the light must have been partially cleared.

While wiping her face with a towel, she walked to the window and drew aside the curtains.

I saw that many elves outside had returned. They flapped their wings, holding huge pieces of wood and leaves, flying in and out back and forth, and were very busy.

Each of those pieces of wood was larger than her guest room, with fine grain on the surface and a faint luster. If you didn't know better, you would think it was some kind of metal.

The leaves were even more exaggeratedly large and were cut into green cubes, some parts of which looked like jelly and some parts like green mud.

It looks like these will make good planting soil and fertilizer.

Only elves can be so luxurious.

There were footsteps coming from the other bedroom, and Bai Zhi also got up.

She walked to Gu Xingyan and looked outside following her gaze.

"Mr. Gu, these are..." A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Zhi's eyes.

As a spirit transformed from herbs, she is extremely sensitive to the scent of plants.

The rich vitality emanating from these wood blocks and leaves made the spiritual power in her body become active.

"Branches of the World Tree." Gu Xingyan explained.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, and just by smelling it, she felt full of strength.

Bai Zhi's occupational disease came back, and she was no longer as cold and distant as when they first met. She smiled and said:

"Boss Gu, let's go down and take a look. Maybe we can find something with medicinal value."

"That's exactly what I meant!" Gu Xingyan nodded with a smile.

The two of them packed up briefly and went downstairs.

As soon as she walked out of the hotel gate, Gu Xingyan saw several piles of wood blocks and leaves like small hills piled up not far away.

The elves gestured at the hills, sometimes putting them into their space rings, sometimes releasing them, looking very distressed.

Gu Xingyan called out the name of one of the elves: "Rita!"

Rita, who was busy, heard the sound and flew over quickly.

"Mr. Gu, what are your orders?"

"I have a few large storage rings here. I'll lend them to you first."

As Gu Xingyan spoke, she took out a dozen storage rings from her space - all of which were stock items from several of her stores - and handed them to Rita.

Rita's eyes lit up, she took the ring and thanked him repeatedly: "Mr. Gu, thank you so much!"

The branches of the World Tree are so large that the elves' storage rings have limited capacity and cannot hold them all.

But it’s definitely not good to keep them piled up on the streets.

Now we have only cleared out a small hole and restored the light, and there is still work to be done later.

Rita commanded the elves to quickly collect several piles of wood and leaves into the ring.

At this moment, a small piece of black thing fell from the sky and rolled to Gu Xingyan's feet.

Gu Xingyan looked down and was immediately shocked.

It turned out to be a broken arm!

The arms were grey-black, the skin was rough, and the nails were long and sharp. It was obvious that they were not human or elf.

"This is..." Gu Xingyan was about to ask whose arm it was, but was startled by Rita's reaction.

Rita stared at the severed arm, breathing rapidly, her golden pupils first shrank into vertical lines, and then turned into inky black.

Rita took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down, her eyes gradually returning to gold.

"Boss Gu, this is a monster's arm."

As Rita spoke, she wrapped it up with wood magic and teleported it in front of an elf soldier.

The elf soldier also caught it with magic and took it away.

Gu Xingyan became even more curious, "You have monsters here too?"

Rita gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, it is a parasitic demon that likes to live on the world tree and suck the sap.

"The branches of the World Tree fell because of them!" Rita clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.

"Turns out they're pests." Gu Xingyan suddenly realized. No wonder Rita was so excited.

"It's more than just a pest. This monster is a disaster for us elves..." Rita hesitated to speak.

Bai Zhi suddenly asked, "Can you give us this arm?"
