Chapter 641 639: Don't Underestimate Support!

The entire underground of the Elf Forest has been excavated into interconnected tunnels.

Starting from the pollution source and spreading outwards, the investigation station on the ground has mostly exposed this, mapping it out.

Elina is holding a map at this moment, pointing here and there.

"The monsters around this node have been mostly investigated. Their alert point is 26 monsters, and before crossing this node, you can't kill more than 26 monsters. Otherwise, you'll attract the attention of all monsters around. The more you kill, the more monsters you'll attract."

"If we follow this path, there are different monster fluctuations coming from that side, but the area beyond that node has not been fully explored by the investigation station due to time constraints."

"The monsters here vary widely, and the minerals they form are also diverse, but they must contain that incredibly hard component, making them extremely difficult to kill."

"However, this is not a problem for Hilia, but if we stir up the nearby monsters, the investigation station will certainly send people to check it out, and it will be difficult then."

Hilia nods.

Just like last time, but now it's different. Knowing that she and Elina have appeared, the Elf King over there will certainly gather forces quickly and not let them leave easily.

During her purification patrol, she also heard many orders from the Elf King to find 'Hilia.'

Hilia thought she could borrow Rose's former 'strange words'—

Back then, you ignored me; now, you can't measure up to me.

Such a strange phrase, although not very fitting, Hilia felt she could apply it this way.

If Candia hadn't been so malicious back then, with the venomous villainous look and even had murderous thoughts, perhaps she would already be willing to cooperate with the Elf Royal Court and Elina, to maximize the reduction of pollution's impact.

Of course, without impending doom, the arrogant Elf Royal Court is unlikely to 'change their mind.'

Elina simply hates the Elf Royal Court, so she wants to leave.

If it weren't for the Beast Tide, which might cause more severe disaster events, she would probably have already slipped away from the Elf Race territory to play in other empires.

"How did you guys avoid killing monsters before?" Hilia asked curiously.

Demons are spread throughout the underground world. During the investigation phase, it wasn't clear where those demons were entrenched; it couldn't be like now, relying on markings to avoid them.

Only a few mages who entered here knew how to hide themselves, like the Shadow Faction Mage, but most mages didn't have the ability to hide themselves so demons couldn't find them.

Hilia was the same.

So, she was very curious about how the investigation station initially knew about the critical point of demons underground and how they avoided reaching the critical point.

"Oh, this, it's quite simple, try more and you'll find out." Elina said nonchalantly.

It's really just the exhaustive method.

"During my time at the investigation station, most of the time I would enter the underground with everyone, knowing some of their action principles, like after killing each demon, detecting the surrounding pollution concentration, sensing whether other area demons have become agitated, thus determining whether they have reached the critical point of monster agitation."

"During this process, we've triggered monster agitation countless times—this is the most direct way to know the critical point of monster agitation. Many times our predictions were wrong, and we had to rely on this method to know."

Hilia: "..."

Very clumsy, but very useful.

"After encountering monster agitation, we didn't choose to fight head-on like you before, we could only run. Sometimes unexpected situations would occur, like suddenly appearing blocking monsters, unforeseen pollution surges, causing unexpected events to occur in the investigation team, resulting in casualties..."

While saying this, Elina shook her head and continued: "But that's without me there. With me leading the team, even if encountering monster agitation, I won't let anyone get hurt or killed!"

Hilia rolled her eyes.

Nonsense. You're a life faction mage, best at healing, can revive someone even if they're near death, if anyone got hurt with you there, you can throw away the Elf God's blessing.

"However, later the Elf King made me go back, didn't let me continue exploring, saying worried about me encountering an accident down there."

Elina's expression was very displeased.

Hilia nodded: "There's indeed a possibility of encountering an accident, though the monsters seen so far don't have very strong combat power, but when their numbers increase, even a fifth-tier would find it troublesome, not to mention you're fourth-tier... By the way, the life faction mage, I haven't seen how they fight yet, what's your battle style like now?"

Hilia was curious about whether Elina's combat had changed since switching factions.

Not seeing each other for so long, their coordination couldn't be called nonexistent, just each fighting their own.

Elina snorted lightly: "Hilia doesn't think the life faction mage has no combat power, does she? Before participating in the Mage League, I already switched factions, but I still took first place."

"Oh, right, almost forgot you're the solo champion of the Mage League."

Hilia realized suddenly.

Starting to have confidence in Elina's combat strength.

The solo champion, although not as officially recognized as team competition, still has substantial strength, compared to the team competition mages, maybe not good in groups, but likely strong in solo matches.

But that was back in third-tier.

Now at fourth-tier, having experienced many deep-divine-realm times, plus one's own magic system undergoing a progression, Hilia currently, whether in attack, defense, or control ability, has reached a new level.

——Even the Ice Shield Skill can be used as a control method, and others might not even be able to break it.

Added to the ordinary fifth-tier incomparable total magic power, as a former champion, Elina might really not be able to beat her.

"Since that's the case..."

Hilia looked at a node ahead.

"How about we polish our skills at this node then, it seems it's alright to kill the monsters at the node, right?"

"Yes, the node monsters can be completely cleared, but need to be careful not to attract attention from outside monsters." Elina appeared to be eagerly trying, "Since Hilia wants to see my current combat power, let me show you! So you can see what kind of battle power the solo champion of the Mage League has after reaching fourth-tier!"

"Blind guess it's impressive, anyway I can't beat it." Hilia smiled slightly.

Elina pouted, Hilia's compliments made her roll her eyes.

She summoned the Magic Puppet, directly charging into the node, life elements bursting in the node!
