Chapter 236: Chapter 144: I’ve Got You This Time! The Big Man Rescues the Dark Elves

"Half-human Deer?"

Hearing Sophie’s description, an image of a Half-human Deer formed in Su Xuan’s mind.

A Centaur is human from the waist up and horse from the waist down.

So a Half-human Deer must be human from the waist up and deer from the waist down.

As for how to tell them apart, the antlers or the horse’s tail should be the most obvious differences.

’Besides, the fur on a deer’s back is a bit longer. It should be more comfortable to touch...’

"Sister Xue!"

While he was lost in thought, a figure appeared behind them.

Su Xuan turned to see a girl with short, deep-blue hair walking toward them.

This blue-haired girl was about as tall as Fuli and Flora, giving her a petite and delicate appearance. Following behind her was another small female Elf.

’If you added Mare Rhine to the mix, the team would have five short... ’

Ahem.

"She’s here!"

Liu Xue smiled and waved at the girl.

"B-Big Brother Su Xuan! H-Hello! My name is Ye Lingxi! It’s a pleasure to meet you!" The girl walked up to Su Xuan and bowed, her attitude extremely polite.

"Hello."

Su Xuan replied unhurriedly.

Ye Lingxi smiled and lifted her head. Amidst her deep-blue hair, her reddish-brown eyes shone like brilliant jewels.

This made Su Xuan take a second look. He found the girl’s eyes to be very beautiful, as if they held some precious, hidden treasure.

But Ye Lingxi was slightly shy when she spoke, clearly not very skilled at conversing with others.

"Don’t be so shy, Lingxi!" Liu Xue gently placed a hand on Ye Lingxi’s shoulder, hoping to calm her down.

"Mm..." Ye Lingxi nodded, tilting her head up slightly, but her gaze was still a bit evasive.

Su Xuan didn’t mind. He spoke up, suggesting, "We should get going. It’s about time."

"Okay!"

Not long after, they successfully arrived near the Dark Prison.

"Just as I told you before, you and the Elves will set up a Teleportation Array on the outskirts of the Dark Prison and wait for me to come out," Su Xuan instructed Liu Xue and the others.

"Okay!"

Liu Xue and Ye Lingxi nodded in unison, ready to follow Su Xuan’s instructions completely.

"Um~ Please... be careful!" Ye Lingxi reminded him, a little bashfully.

"I will."

Su Xuan smiled and nodded, then his gaze shifted toward the Dark Prison. He murmured to himself, "Now, I just need to wait for the right moment."

At that moment, there were only two Elf Guards outside the Dark Prison.

This was mainly due to the Dark Prison’s unique structure and the small number of prisoners held inside.

Within the Elf Race, Elves rarely committed crimes warranting imprisonment in the Dark Prison. It was possible that only three Dark Elves were inside.

About half an hour later, during the changing of the Elf guards, Su Xuan quietly slipped into the Dark Prison.

Upon stepping into the Dark Prison, he found himself in a Dark Green environment. It was less like a prison and more like a spatial rift.

Su Xuan turned his head and found that the entrance he had come through had vanished, leaving only the dazzling light of distorted space flickering in his vision.

"No wonder the Dark Prison doesn’t need many Elf guards. The only way to escape is during its period of weakness," Su Xuan muttered to himself. "However, only the Elf Queen and a small handful of Elves should know about the Dark Prison’s period of weakness."

With that, his gaze fell on three flickering Dark Green points of light in the distance, which he presumed was the location of the Dark Elves.

"This place is really interesting."

At this moment, Mare Rhine, who had entered with Su Xuan, also became deeply interested in her surroundings.

"Did you find anything?" Su Xuan asked Mare Rhine.

"This place contains a wisp of Divine Law Power, and the Divine Format’s rank is not low," Mare Rhine answered.

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, enveloping both of them in a crimson halo of light.

"Divine Law Power?"

Su Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sank into thought.

’If this power is related to the Elf Race, could it be the power of the Elemental Goddess or the Goddess of Nature?’

However, the aura permeating the air was different from the Elves’ Magic Power; it felt more like a Dark Attribute.

"If you ever encounter an enemy you can’t handle, you can flee here," Mare Rhine continued. "The Divine Law Power here can hold off even a Demigod... no, even a Low Tier God."

"I see."

Su Xuan silently committed Mare Rhine’s words to memory. He hadn’t expected the Elf Race’s Dark Prison to be strong enough to repel Gods.

"Let’s go find the Dark Elves first."

Su Xuan immediately walked toward the three Dark Green points of light.

Meanwhile, three Dark Elves were chatting idly inside the Dark Prison.

"Niru, when are we ever going to get out of here?" a Dark Elf with short, bright-yellow hair asked her companion.

"Such bad luck! To think we’d get caught by those Elves right after getting the Holy Artifact!" the Dark Elf with long, light-purple hair said angrily.

"Luckily, they don’t know our true objective. As long as we can escape, we can awaken ’Him’!" the last Dark Elf, who had short, deep-pink hair, added.

"But how are we supposed to escape?" the Dark Elf named Niru sighed softly, completely clueless as to how to get out of the Dark Prison.

The other two female Elves were also at a loss. They looked around the Dark Green prison, where there was nothing but the dazzling glare of distorted space and... a pair of crimson eyes staring at them.

’Crimson eyes?’

"AHH!"

"A ghost!"

The three Dark Elves immediately raised their weapons, but their legs trembled uncontrollably as they backed away.

"Calm down, Dark Elves."

Just then, Su Xuan emerged from the darkness, showing the three Dark Elves a friendly smile.

"A human?"

The three Dark Elves were completely bewildered by Su Xuan’s appearance. They couldn’t understand why a human would be here.

’Also, where did that pair of crimson eyes from just now go?’

"Three second-rate Dark Elves. The dark aura you’re tainted with is far too faint," Mare Rhine said with disdain, also stepping out from the shadows.

When the Dark Elves saw Mare Rhine beside Su Xuan, their expressions turned to terror once more.

"A... A Giant Dragon!"

Even in her Half-Dragon-man form, the Dark Elf named Niru immediately recognized Mare Rhine’s true identity.

"A Giant Dragon!?"

The other two Dark Elves were so frightened they instantly hid behind Niru. They couldn’t understand why a Giant Dragon would appear in the Elf Race’s Dark Prison.

Su Xuan didn’t answer, merely staring intently at the three Dark Elves before him.

Aside from the Dark Elf named Niru, the other two were trembling so much they could barely stand.

Furthermore, only Niru’s Level was above 40, while the other two Dark Elves were only around Level 30.

What concerned Su Xuan more was that the skin of all three Elves was more or less tainted with a dark aura, as if it were trying to stain their once snow-white skin a silver-gray.

And the stronger they were, the thicker the dark aura.

"I was entrusted by someone to come and rescue you," Su Xuan explained to the three Dark Elves.

"Rescue us?"

The three Dark Elves exchanged a look of surprise, then asked Su Xuan, "This is the Dark Prison. Not even the Princess of the Elf Race can leave. How could you possibly get us out?"

"I have my ways," Su Xuan replied nonchalantly.

After a moment’s hesitation, the three Dark Elves moved aside to discuss in low voices, glancing back at Su Xuan from time to time.

’They’re acting just like normal Elves. The only difference is the dark aura they’re emitting.’

’They must not be members of the Dark Night Elf Legion, but rather Elves who left the Elf Race for other reasons.’

’That makes sense. After all, to sneak in and steal a Holy Artifact from the Elf Kingdom, Elves with a strong dark aura would probably be discovered before they even entered.’

’So, they had to use Elves who weren’t yet heavily tainted with a dark aura to disguise themselves and sneak into the Elf Kingdom.’

’That was their only chance.’

After some discussion, Niru turned back to Su Xuan and said, "We believe you. Is there anything you need us to do?"

"You don’t need to do anything. Just follow my arrangements," Su Xuan replied, then glanced around.

Based on his calculations, the Dark Prison’s period of weakness should be arriving soon. This was their only chance to escape.

Just as his thoughts were racing, the space within the Dark Prison began to distort.

At the same time, a white particle of light emerged from between Su Xuan’s brows and drifted into the distance, seeming to guide his way.

"Reine!"

Su Xuan immediately gave Mare Rhine the command to be mounted.

"Got it!"

Mare Rhine immediately transformed into her Giant Dragon form, becoming Su Xuan’s mount.

At the same time, she grabbed the three Dark Elves with her Dragon Claws and flew swiftly in pursuit of the white particle of light.

Mare Rhine’s flight speed surpassed the speed of sound, but the dark scenery around them continued to flash by rapidly, as if the Dark Prison had no end.

Su Xuan grumbled internally, ’No wonder you can’t escape this Dark Prison. Without the White Elf Queen’s guidance, its range is like an infinitely large area.’

’But there was a slight difference, because I found the three Dark Elves so quickly.’

’This means that due to the Space Law, this area’s space seems infinite, but it’s likely just an endless loop.’

Soon after, following the guidance of the white particle of light, Su Xuan found the exit of the Dark Prison.

"We’re almost out!"

Su Xuan called out to the three Dark Elves.

But because of the incredible speed, the three Dark Elves could barely keep their balance, let alone find the breath to answer Su Xuan.

As Mare Rhine burst through the white radiance, they successfully left the Dark Prison.

But when Su Xuan saw his surroundings, he was suddenly stunned.

He had thought the exit would be near the Dark Prison, but strangely, why had he appeared in the sky above the Elf Queen’s Palace?

And below, a silver-haired female Elf was looking up at him quietly.

"Alina?"

Su Xuan was puzzled. ’Was Princess Alina waiting here specifically for me?’

Furthermore, there were no other Elves near Alina, and the surrounding space seemed to have been sealed off by her Magic.

Even Mare Rhine’s hundred-meter-long Giant Dragon body hadn’t caused a commotion.

"Let’s go down."

He immediately had Mare Rhine land in front of Alina.

The moment they landed, Alina smiled at him with a teasing tone and said, "Spiriting away three Dark Elves imprisoned in the Dark Prison... this time, you’ve fallen right into my hands, you big~ man~"
