Chapter 19 - Elves

"Hill, run!"

Xu Hang was scared.

However, Hill's eyes had a very determined look in them. It seemed that he had to wait for the giant beast to fully reveal itself.

"Master, I think that something is wrong," Hill said in a deep voice.

The giant dragon's head continued to poke out bit by bit, but the speed was getting slower and slower.

Then, it stopped.

"Why did it stop?"

Xu Hang had also noticed the abnormality.

"Foolish creatures. How dare you disturb me. I will make you pay!"

The majestic voice was messing with Xu Hang's head. It seemed to possess magic powers. 

If it was not for the little things that they had discovered, Xu Hang and his group would have already fled. They would have panicked and spread the word about an unapproachable dragon. They would not have returned to the cave either.

Nonetheless, a moving dragon head was definitely more terrifying than a non-moving dragon head.

Suddenly, a part of the dragon's head fluctuated and revealed a pair of feet.

"Stupid lower-class creatures. Since you did not listen to my advice, you'll all die here!"

After saying that, the dragon opened its mouth and flames poured out!

It was fire magic! 

The danger level was not low.

"Stop pretending, I can see you!" said Xu Hang while shaking his head. 

"Pretend? What do you mean I'm pretending? I am an ancient giant dragon. How dare you speak such nonsense!"

The dragon began to stutter.

"You can still speak while breathing fire?"

Xu Hang almost laughed out loud.

He was right. The dragon was breathing fire from its mouth but at the same time, it could still talk!

The scene was really strange and rather comical.

"Ah, the truth is out!"

A childish voice was heard.

All of a sudden, the huge dragon's head disintegrated!

At the same time, a huge dragon skull appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground!

Boom!

The entire cave shook.

It seemed to be collapsing!

Xu Hang and his group quickly got out.

Then, they saw countless little elves appearing in the sky. They were holding spears in their hands. 

The little elves pointed the spears at Xu Hang and his group. Simultaneously, the spears began emitting a chilling light!

"Since you've discovered our secret, we have no choice but to kill you!" said a female voice.

Although the words were harsh, her tone was soft and gentle. 

"Umm, I'm sorry. Your voice is too soft. I can't hear you. Can you speak louder and repeat what you've said?"

A voice mixed with anger and shame shouted loudly, "All of you must die here!"

After saying that, all the little elves raised their spears high above their heads. 

"Attack!"

As the female voice gave her order, all the little elves threw their spears at Xu Hang and his group!

Spears were raining down from all directions.

Instantly, Hill and the soldiers shielded Xu Hang.

The soldiers swung their long swords left and right. They managed to deflect some spears.

On the other hand, Hill did something different. He wielded the alloy battle axe with both of his hands, forming an impenetrable barrier that successfully blocked the spears.

In the end, the soldiers were almost killed. Fortunately, they could slowly recover their health once they returned to the barracks. 

Hill lost ten health points. This was the first time Hill had lost health points ever since he was summoned. The little elves' attack was not bad. 

Despite that, they could not completely protect Xu Hang. 

Xu Hang had small spears stuck on his arms, legs, and back. Actually, they were more like toothpicks

The spears were really small.

'Tch.'

Xu Hang plucked out the spears one at a time. After that, he looked at the little elves who were floating in the sky and let out a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, they only have one spear each. If they had more, we might actually be killed."

"Wait, why are there elves here?"

Xu Hang was confused.

One of the little elves flew directly towards Xu Hang's arm and retrieved a spear!

"D*mn, how arrogant!"

Xu Hang stretched out his hand. He wanted to grab the little elf but it flew away and laughed at him!

The little elves had the advantage. After all, they could fly.

Suddenly, Xu Hang felt a sharp jab on his back. There was a spear stabbed into him!

"D*mn you!"

His head began to feel dizzy.

'Am I really going to die here?'

...

Some time passed and Xu Hang woke up. He found out that he was tied to a stone pillar!

All the spears had been pulled out from his body. So, he felt much better. 

The little elves probably did it.

He looked to the side. Just like him, Hill and the soldiers were tied to stone pillars.

Additionally, an iron chain was bound around Hill's body.

"We are elves, a race that loves peace. Peace is our motto and that will never change!"

It was that female voice again!

The voice belonged to a little elf with seven-colored wings. She was also wearing a long golden dress made of yarn.

Her beautiful wings sparkled under the dim light of the torch in the cave. Furthermore, her face looked very pure, beautiful, and dignified.

"These evil apes intruded our forest and destroyed our homes."

"Our companions were killed, locked in cages, and subjected to experimentation by psychopaths. Some of them even used magic to forcefully enlarge our bodies just to satisfy their beastly desires!"

At this point, the elves were crying.

"We abide by our peaceful principle, so we won't kill you. However, we will never let you go because you will spread the information about our existence. You will spend the rest of your lives in the cave! Be grateful that we've spared your lives. Understand?"

"Ah, your beauty distracted me. Can you repeat what you've said?"

"Silence!"
