Chapter 578 - 578 She's Done For!
578 She’s Done For!
Murphy held the bow with one hand and pulled Huanhuan down the mountain with the other.
Blood dripped down his leather armor to the ground, forming a winding trail of blood behind him.
When the Elven Queen saw that he was willing to die to take Huanhuan away, disappointment and pain overwhelmed her. She knew that she had really lost her son this time.
The great stimulation almost made the Elven Queen lose control of her emotions.
The black patterns on her body had spread to her arms. The originally golden plant spirits were also stained black after touching her arms.
The Elven Queen’s expression changed drastically.
These plant spirits were actually tainted with an evil aura!
She looked down and realized that her arms were covered in black patterns. These black patterns emitted a terrifying evil aura. They were extremely similar to the aura of the Soul-Devouring Vine.
If this continued, she would definitely be polluted and become a dirty night elf!
The Elven Queen was terrified.
She would rather die than become a night elf!
The Elven Queen did her best to control her emotions and send the plant spirits back. As for the polluted plant spirits, she destroyed them on the spot. She ordered the elf guards to continue chasing after Murphy and Lin Huanhuan. She hurried back to the palace alone.
She strode into the chamber, chased all the servants out, and locked the door.
The Elven Queen was the only one left in the entire chamber.
She took off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror. She realized that not only her arms and neck but even her chest and back were covered in black patterns.
These black patterns emitted an evil aura.
If this continued, when the black patterns crawled all over her body, she would completely degenerate into a night elf.
Only at this moment did the Elven Queen understand that the reason why the Soul-Devouring Vine did not kill her that night was that he wanted to see her hide in the darkness and become one of those dirty and disgusting night elves.
He wanted to see her suffer.
How vicious!
The Elven Queen crossed her arms and staggered to the ground. She was still beautiful, but her face was pale.
As the queen of the elves, she was tainted with evil.
If this matter spread, how could she establish herself in the elves in the future?
She grabbed her arm tightly and dug it into her flesh. Blood flowed, but she still couldn’t erase the black patterns.
Oh no.
She was doomed!
…
On the way down the mountain, Murphy strode forward with Huanhuan.
Huanhuan saw that the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding. If this continued, he would really bleed to death!
“We’ve come a long way. Why don’t we stop and rest?”
Murphy panted heavily. “No, we have to leave Elven God Mountain as soon as possible. If they catch you, you’ll definitely be treated as a heretic and executed!”
“But you’re seriously injured. You have to bandage your wounds.”
“I’ll be fine.”
No matter how Huanhuan persuaded him, Murphy refused to stop and rest. He stubbornly pulled Huanhuan down the mountain.
They walked for most of the night. When it was almost dawn, they finally reached the foot of the mountain.
Ahead was the Misty Forest.
Murphy took out a green fruit and handed it to Huanhuan. “Eat it.”
Huanhuan had just put it to her mouth when she suddenly heard roars coming from the Misty Forest!
Frightened, she paused and immediately looked in the direction of the sounds.
“What was that sound?”
Murphy pricked up his ears and stopped for a moment. When he heard who the roars were from, his expression immediately changed. “Oh no, the giants and the Goffins are attacking!”
“I thought they couldn’t get through the Misty Forest?”
“It’s indeed difficult for normal people to pass through the Misty Forest, but it’s not impossible. Their voices are very clear. I believe they’re not far from here.”
Huanhuan was very anxious. “Then what should we do now?”
“Let’s find a place to hide first.”
“Alright!”
They found a cave nearby, and Murphy and Huanhuan hid inside. Many lush vines hung down from the cave’s entrance, covering the scene inside. It was difficult for outsiders to discover this place.
Huanhuan took out crispy fruits and cotton cloth from her space and helped Murphy wash the wound. She smeared the wound with chewed crispy fruits and bandaged it using the cotton cloth.
Murphy leaned back against the rock wall. He was still pale, but the wound didn’t hurt as much as before.
Huanhuan looked out through the gap in the vines and saw a large group of Goffins rushing out of Misty Forest. They were riding ferocious beast mounts and armed with weapons. They were aggressive.
Behind them were many extremely tall giants.
Each of these giants was as tall as a small mountain, more than 10 meters tall. Their strong muscles filled them with strength, and their thick skin was extremely resistant. The claws and teeth of ordinary beasts could not leave any wounds on their bodies.
With every step they took, the ground trembled under their feet.
This was the first time Huanhuan had seen a giant. Her eyes widened. Such a tall giant must be very destructive.
Huanhuan turned to look at Murphy and whispered, “The Goffins and giants have broken through the defense line of Misty Forest and are advancing up the mountain. They seem to be planning to attack the elves.”
Fortunately, they left in time. Otherwise, they would have been involved in this battle.
Murphy struggled to his feet.
Huanhuan quickly held him. “You’re injured. You have to rest well. Don’t move.”
“I have to go back,” Murphy said word by word. “Elven God Mountain is going to be attacked. I have to go back as soon as possible and inform the elves to prepare for battle.”
“Didn’t you say you won’t go back in the future? Why do you care about their lives?! Besides, didn’t you tell your mother about this before? She refused to believe what you said. You’ve already done your best.”
Murphy shook her head. “In any case, they’re my people. I can’t just watch them be besieged and do nothing.”
“But you’re still injured. Can you walk?”
“Don’t worry, I can do it.”
Huanhuan really couldn’t dissuade him. In the end, she could only make up her mind. “Go back if you want, but I’ll go back with you.”
“No, you can’t go back. It’s too dangerous!”
“But you’re injured. You can’t walk without someone to help you.”
“I can walk.” Murphy pushed her hand away, indicating that he was fine alone. “Stay here obediently. After the war is over and if I’m still alive, I’ll come down the mountain to look for you. But if I don’t appear, don’t be too sad. I’ll ask Uncle Cyril to send you away.”
Huanhuan refused to listen to his arrangements and insisted on accompanying him.
Murphy was helpless. “If you continue to insist, I’ll mistakenly think that you like me again.”
