Chapter 1647: Chapter 1451: An Inconvenient Request (Two in One)
"This time, I plan to go to the Elf Lifeline and find the guardian Luta. You should follow along; perhaps you’ll encounter your destiny."
Su Ran seemed to suddenly recall something, smiling as he said, "Oh right, when you meet the Elf Queen, we can conveniently form an alliance with your Elf Tribe. That way, you’ll be able to join my territory."
"Haha, that’s great news! Finally, I’ll have a foothold in the God-Demon Continent! By then, I can help big brother defend his territory. Whoever dares to challenge him—I’ll shoot them dead!"
Banana pulled out his beloved Golden Crossbow to show his determination.
"Watch your language! Don’t say things that can easily be misunderstood. If the system detects it and gifts you a mute penalty, it’ll be too late to regret!"
Seeing Banana’s careless way of speaking, Su Ran quickly stepped in to stop him, lest Banana ended up mute—that would be seriously awkward.
"I didn’t say anything wrong! Shooting them dead with an arrow—there’s nothing wrong with that! Big brother, you’re the one twisting my words; you aren’t pure-hearted at all!"
Banana couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "Big brother, am I right or what?"
"I can’t be bothered with you!"
Knowing he was somewhat at fault, Su Ran chose not to argue further, patiently waiting for the little mudfish to finish devouring all the Deep Sea Bass.
He had no doubt about the mudfish’s appetite. Though small in size, its stomach was considerable; devouring this pile of bass would be no problem at all. Unfortunately, even after these fish were eaten, it wouldn’t be enough to level up the mudfish—it required far too much experience.
No help for it; the revolution has yet to succeed, comrades must continue striving...
"Big brother, you don’t know—the Elf Forest, after being cleansed, now has plenty of leveling spots, and no one is competing for monsters. It’s truly great!"
Banana gradually changed his view of the Elf Forest and was no longer as opposed to it as before. However, places with people were like rivers and lakes; being alone on this lonely island just felt like single-player gaming. What’s the fun in that?
He’d probably go mad with boredom!
Fishing at least offered him some pastime to enjoy.
"This forest is truly a pure land; you couldn’t find such a good spot in real life."
Su Ran linked the scenery to his own experiences living in a slum, feeling a wave of sentiment wash over him.
Just then, the little mudfish swallowed all the Deep Sea Bass, its belly swelling and becoming round. It strained its body to straighten up and attempt flight, but unfortunately, it couldn’t. Instead, it turned its gaze to Su Ran, silently seeking help.
"You little rascal, now you understand the consequences of overeating, huh?"
Su Ran walked up, amused, grabbing the mudfish to stop himself from smacking it against the ground. With restraint, he tossed it into the pet space.
"Big brother, if this thunder dragon overeats like this and ends up with indigestion, what’s the plan?"
Seeing the mudfish’s rotund state, Banana couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He swallowed unconsciously—if it burst its stomach, that’d definitely be a riot.
"Indigestion? You sure know how to imagine things. Even with so many fish, it’ll take less than half a day before this Darknight Thunder Dragon gets hungry again. You’ll get used to it after witnessing this a few times."
Su Ran grinned, gesturing toward the depths of the forest. "Banana, lead the way ahead. Let’s go to the palace and catch up with the Elf Queen."
"You and your pet are freaks. Seeing the Elf Queen doesn’t even require an appointment; I don’t have your kind of skills."
Walking ahead to lead the way, Banana muttered, "Since you left the Elf Palace, I haven’t been able to step inside even once. Who knows what the Elf Queen is busy with inside—she hasn’t been seeing anyone. It’s caused me trouble too; I can’t even exchange teleportation scrolls and have to save up for them. Such a hassle."
"There’s really such a thing?"
Su Ran recalled the scene where the Elf Queen broke the Ghost Curse with her arrow, nodding thoughtfully as he analyzed to Banana, "Perhaps after consuming Fire Seeds, the Elf Queen’s soul became unstable. She’s probably in seclusion to recover, so naturally, she wouldn’t entertain visitors."
"Big brother, I feel like you wouldn’t be treated the same way. You’re the Elf Tribe’s envoy and benefactor. How could the Elf Queen give you the cold shoulder, right?"
"Let’s hope we don’t make the trip for nothing. Maybe the Elf Queen has already emerged from seclusion."
Su Ran surveyed his surroundings and noticed that this forest indeed had far more birds and beasts. However, not a single frightening beast was in sight.
Banana walked freely through the forest, avoiding leveling zones. In less than twenty minutes, they arrived in front of the towering Sky-reaching Vine.
"If only my vine could grow to be as tall as this ancient vine—it would be amazing. Sigh, graduation is still a distant dream..."
Su Ran gazed at the vine, as tall as a towering tree, and compared it to the one in his own territory. It was like comparing a child to a giant—there was simply no contest.
"Your vine? Are you talking about that vine seed we obtained? How far have you grown your vine?"
Banana’s eyes were full of curiosity upon hearing Su Ran’s words. To his thinking, in just a few months, growing a vine to two meters would be impressive enough—maybe it hadn’t even sprouted yet!
"Wait until you visit my territory; you’ll see for yourself. It’s a temporary secret."
Su Ran didn’t provide further details about the vine, avoiding accusations of bragging.
"Tch, keeping secrets from me? Lame!"
Banana didn’t take it seriously. Pointing ahead at the lake, he added, "Big brother, do you remember this Nether Lake?"
Nether Lake?
Su Ran froze momentarily, memories flooding his mind. Back then, to obtain the treasure hidden at the lake’s bottom, he had been relentlessly pursued by a powerful guardian boss, barely escaping with his life after securing the treasure—even the treasure key had to be borrowed from the Elf Queen. All of it was deeply nostalgic.
