I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Goo!"

Seeing Menghuan suddenly realize and start commanding his elf to act, Li Ran knew that it should have known how to get to the 20th floor.

After the elves stood at the position designated by Menghuan, they began to absorb the liquid in the pit. This made Li Ran a little confused. If it weren't for the recovery of the elves' mental state during the absorption, and the joy that could not be hidden, Li Ran might have really pulled them all out.

"This pool of water should be prepared by the tower owner for the elves. It will be restored when they can reach this level."

Li Ran made a judgment by observing the elf information given by the system, especially on Rhydon's body. His originally empty body had been soaked in liquid, and some of his skills had been significantly improved. He had already reached the strength of a real elite third level.

"Dream boss, don't you want to take a dip?"

Li Ran was really flattered that such a benefit was given to his own elf.

'Fantasy' shook his head slightly. These liquids came from the underworld. For a creature of its level, it didn't matter whether it absorbed them or not. That was why so many ghosts appeared here, changing the layout of the room. The energy that supported them was the liquid in the pit.

After the liquid was absorbed, its energy weakened and the ghosts could no longer stay and left the tower one after another.

"Mah!"

Xiaoshui stood up, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his spirit had recovered to its best, and this liquid was quite beneficial to him.

"Let's go to the 20th floor."

After 'Dream' released a strange light at the staircase entrance, a thin layer of light film was directly penetrated and revealed.

When the Nine-Tailed Fox heard the noise, it raised its head slightly and looked forward. When it saw the familiar pink figure again, it lowered its head silently and pretended not to see it.

Including Li Ran who was following behind Huanhuan. Li Ran naturally did not dare to take advantage of the power of others. Since Jiuwei was pretending to be asleep, he would just pretend to be mute and go upstairs.

......

"Only one person can enter here?"

The trainers arrived at the entrance to the tenth floor. Liu Qingwang, who was walking in front, heard the noise behind him and saw that everyone was still outside the threshold. Even their voices were blocked.

The six sleeping elf phantoms stood up one after another, looking at Liu Qingwang and making the sound of fighting.

"It seems that only those who defeat the elves on this level can move up."

Li You speculated that because she saw Liu Qingwang sent out all six of his main forces, it was obvious that he was going to have a 6v6 battle.

"Those six seem to be at the top of the elite ranks."

Yun Qiyan nodded slightly. Although Liu Qingwang was not as good as himself in the league competition, he was also a top trainer. He even needed to summon his main force, which meant that this tough battle would not be easy.

......

Qiuyu, the garrison.

"How's it going, Uncle Li, any news about Xiaoran?"

Several people sat together in front of the tent. Only with the arrival of Uncle Li did Hong Pang's face show some relief.

"My friends have all helped to look for him, but there is no sign of Master Li Ran. Master, are you sure he is in Qiu Territory?"

Uncle Li's breathing was obviously a little hurried. He didn't expect that he had turned the whole place upside down but still didn't find Li Ran.

"Xiao Ran doesn't have a flying mount. Where else can he go if not here?"

Hong Pang frowned, unable to understand why. How could such a grown person disappear for no apparent reason?

"Master, don't be anxious. Tell me the characteristics of the elf that Master Li Ran mentioned."

Uncle Li took a sip of water to calm himself down. Since he couldn't find the person, he could only start with the elves to find the direction.

"I'm not very clear about this, I just remember that time..."

Hong Pang briefly described what happened to Li Ran at that time. After listening, Uncle Li held his chin and fell into a brief thought.

"Master Li Ran's decision to leave the team was not wrong, if we look at his previous strange questions."

Uncle Li looked at the three worried people and spoke.

"Then the conclusion is that the elf has the ability to become invisible, which is very rare in the elf world."

"Usually only ghost-type elves have this kind of strange ability, but..."

"It's not the time for the gate to the underworld to open yet, so how could a ghost-type elf appear?"

Uncle Li murmured suspiciously, not noticing that the worry among the three of them was growing heavier.

Naturally, they had heard of the existence of the Gate to the Underworld. Those who could subdue the ghost elves either had to be protected by a noble family or had extremely high talents. However, the mortality rate there was also ridiculously high.

About five hundred people enter every year, but less than one hundred are able to successfully subdue ghost-type Pokémon and come out safely.

If Li Ran goes in, is there any possibility of survival?

An idea emerged in everyone's mind.

"Don't worry, Master Li Ran may not have been taken away by the elf. He may just be hiding somewhere."

Uncle Li noticed the worry of several people, but he was also afraid that everyone would go out to look for it. This was the time when the Elf Association was paying attention, and any random action might lead to a reprimand.

"Then I'll send some people to look for it. You just wait here for my news, young master."

"Uncle Li...Uncle Li."

Hong Pang followed quietly from behind, and Uncle Li stopped.

"What happened here? The only people patrolling around the island are master trainers."

Hong Pang asked softly in his ear, not only are tourists on the island restricted from leaving without permission, but their activities on the island are also restricted. Just these two points made him realize that something was wrong given his status and position.

"I can't go into too much detail, but one thing is for sure: it's going to be no less serious than the one in the Far East."

Uncle Li looked around cautiously and only spoke after confirming that there was no one around.

"Uncle Li, do you think Xiaoran will go there?"

Hong Pang was silent for a while and then expressed his guess. It just so happened that when this happened, Li Ran was entangled by the elves, and with the people of Uncle Li and his team, there was a high probability that no place on the island would be left behind.

And since you can't find it, it's hard not to think about that.

"Master, don't worry too much. I'll send someone to look for her. You still have to look after Miss Zuo and Yanyan here."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Uncle Li. Xiaoran is my best friend."

Hong Pang let out a long sigh and clapped his hands on his face. He had to put on a smile, otherwise it would be difficult to report to Yanyan later.

After Hong Pang left, Uncle Li's expression became serious.

He hadn't thought in this direction just now, but after Hong Pang's reminder, he also felt that it was very likely that Li Ran went to the Hot Volcano. Although Li Ran himself did not have a flying mount, there was no guarantee that the elf following him did not have such ability.

If that is true, then the safety of Young Master Li Ran is now uncertain.

The news just received was that several trainers had lost contact after entering the volcano, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Then he thought for a moment, took out the phone, and dialed a number.

......

"Only less than forty-three people passed? It seems that these trainers don't practice enough."

Yun Qiyan looked at the group of trainers who were stuck on the tenth floor and said, you know, the trainers who came here are at least at the lord level, but more than half of them are stuck outside.

"If they heard you say this, they would probably scold you to death in private."

Li You smiled and began to mourn for those trainers. Yun Qiyan was not only the sixth in the alliance, but also an examiner who judged the strength of trainers. After this incident, I'm afraid the threshold to the lord level will be based on this standard.

"So what? Are the salaries they receive every year just for free? I will apply for it when I return this time. The current assessment standards are still too low. From now on, we will use the six-on-six model here to identify the level and strength of trainers."

Yun Qiyan didn't care at all about Ye Fenglin and the others who passed the test with him. These lord-level trainers were already sweating profusely at this time, and they all planned to go back and train hard for a while, for fear of failing the annual lord-level assessment.

"Well, now you have offended some master trainers."

Mile's face turned red. He only had one master-level elf in his hand. If he fought against six of them, it would be just playing house.

"Suppose there are six lord-level elves on the 20th floor, can you defeat them..."

When Liu Qingwang said this, Mile and the lord-level trainers widened their eyes at the same time. You don’t say it’s really possible.

......

"I feel like your arrival has wasted the tower master's hard work."

Li Ran felt an unreal feeling when he arrived at the 22nd floor. The feeling of winning without any effort was just like having a cheat code in a game.

The feeling that I can fight the champion without having to put in much effort.

And he finally saw the true face of the glittering gem.

It was a scarlet gem, about the size of a basketball, with many patterns and words carved on its surface. Li Ran took a quick glance and recognized one of the characters.

That was the Elvish writing that was being studied at the Archaeological Institute, and he just happened to notice that the shape of that writing was exactly the same as the one in the institute.

But let's forget about asking him to interpret it in detail.

There is a blazing orange flame burning outside the gem, which makes people afraid to approach. It can actually absorb the energy of the volcano. No wonder this volcano has not had a large-scale eruption for so many years.

It turned out to be a hollowed-out volcano with only a beautiful exterior.

And Menghuan revealed a girlish look at this moment, just like a woman seeing a diamond. There was only this gem in her eyes at this moment, and it seemed that she was really attracted to it.

However, Li Ran felt a little strange in his heart, not because of anything else, but because the system identified this gem.

Item Name: Flame Orb (Energy 100%)

Item description: Absorbing volcanic energy for a hundred years, it can accelerate the growth of fire-attribute elves and the mastery of fire skills. The elves carrying this item will increase the probability of burns by 15% when using all fire skills. When this gem absorbs saturated energy, it can form a flame shield that can withstand a full-strength attack of any attribute, and a memory fragment is left inside.

After reading this description, Li Ran was a little excited. What kind of incredible performance is this? It is also called the Fire Orb. In the game, it can only cause your own elves to be burned and is used to stimulate the characteristics of some elves.

But from the last sentence, Li Ran understood that this flaming orb should be left for the nine-tailed fox downstairs. First of all, the attributes matched, and secondly, the memory fragments left behind. He and Huanhuan didn't know the tower master at all, so there was only one possibility left.

Li Ran also roughly understood why Huanhuan was attracted. It was probably because the energy of the fire orb had reached saturation in the past few days, so the energy in it began to overflow.

"But what is Dream going to do? Although this orb can resist one attack, the overall effect is still biased towards the fire-attributed spirits. Could it be that some enemy is chasing Dream?"

Li Ran looked at Meng Huan who was ready to make a move, and analyzed secretly in his mind.

"Goo~"

Huanhuan stretched out his hands and embraced the flaming orb, but was not burned as he had imagined. As he already had the skill of Fire Contract, he could easily mobilize the fire energy contained in his body.

The moment it touched the flame orb, the entire orb emitted a dazzling golden light, and then a faint light curtain appeared like a projection, and a picture appeared.

He was a hunchbacked old man with white hair. Li Ran knew at a glance that the elves standing behind him were at a level no lower than fantasy.

o((⊙﹏⊙))o

Otherwise, how could Menghuan show such a confused expression?

"Xiaojiu... we meet again."

Although the old man in the picture was old, there was still a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his face. Li Ran knew that it was something like an image and the old man was not talking to him face to face.

"I believe that after so many years, you should have entered the ranks of legends, and finally reached the top floor that you have never been to before. Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."

Seeing this, Li Ran could vaguely guess that the old man in the picture was probably dead of old age.

"They...are your brothers and sisters."

The old man turned around and touched the majestic staff-tailed armored dragon, sighing and feeling reluctant.

"It's time to let them go back to their homes... Now it's time for you to go back too, your home is..."

Only then did Li Ran realize that there was a memory crystal next to this gem. Its effect was that as long as he placed it on his forehead, he could instantly obtain all the contents inside. Of course, this was only available to elves.

"It seems that the Nine-Tailed Fox was also very playful when he was young..."

Li Ran's eyes twitched. From what the old man said just now, it was obvious that the Nine-Tailed Fox hadn't done it either. It was only at the peak of the master level. Moreover, they had helped to open the door. It was obvious that it had been accidentally locked outside when it went out to play...
