Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 7 The Magical Plant Mosquito Nest

The next day arrived.

The number of elven units under Lin Yi's command has increased to one hundred and ten.

Last night, the elven troops killed some undead creatures near the central square, and the energy crystals they obtained were used by Lin Yi to train new elven troops.

Besides military training...

Lin Yi then gave birth to a hundred little elves from the Tree of Life.

His goal today is to train all one hundred sprites into sprite soldiers.

At that time, the number of elven troops under his command will exceed two hundred.

Early in the morning, the elves went out hunting.

The 110 elven units were divided into 10 squads by Lin Yi. Each squad consisted of four elven swordsmen and seven elven archers.

This combination includes both melee and ranged combat.

Moreover, their levels are all quite high.

Be careful, and you'll be able to deal with the monsters hiding in the ruins.

Lin Yi also set off.

His hunting area today was still the same grove of trees that he hadn't cleared yesterday.

There are a great many monsters in that forest, and the vampire mosquitoes that attacked last night also came from this forest. Lin Yi plans to find their lair and wipe them out completely.

As a fire mage, he greatly enjoys hunting monsters that are numerous and have low defense.

A single fire can burn a large area.

Before leaving the territory, Lin Yi also assigned a task to the newly conceived elves: to harvest the ancient trees growing in the ruins.

As the number of trained elf soldiers increases.

Lin Yi also needs to consider building houses for them.

You can't sleep outdoors all the time.

The way the elves gather wood is quite unique.

They were seen in groups of three or five, rotating around the target ancient tree, which would then disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a smoothly cut stump.

Once the collection is nearly complete, the sprites will automatically fly back to their territory.

Then, as if summoning from the void, the finished pieces of wood were "summoned" out of thin air.

Before long, a large amount of timber was neatly piled up in the square.

"That's incredibly efficient."

Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

……

In the dense forest.

The blazing flames engulfed everything around them.

Ancient trees, some hundreds of meters tall, were set ablaze and burned fiercely.

Lin Yi is quite sensible in her actions.

His goal was simply to hunt down the monsters hidden in the forest, so once he had eliminated his target, he would take the initiative to control and extinguish the burning flames.

The ancient trees in the forest can all be used to build houses for living in the future.

This forest covers a very large area.

It hides all sorts of magical beasts and monsters.

Lin Yi started from the southern part of the forest, clearing out the monsters on the outskirts before slowly venturing deeper in.

By noon, he had killed more than two thousand monsters, including dozens of monsters of level five or higher.

Lin Yi glanced at the mission progress.

The number has reached nearly two hundred.

Clearly, it wasn't just him; all the elf teams also reaped good results.

"Indeed, there's strength in numbers!"

"At this rate, I believe I will soon be able to complete the hunting mission and unlock the Temple of the Gods," Lin Yi muttered to himself. He then picked some wild fruit in the forest, ate a few pieces of roasted meat, and continued his hunting work.

Speaking of food...

Elf units also need to eat.

It's worth mentioning that elves are vegetarians and don't eat meat. Fresh fruit and honey are their favorite foods.

Of course, Lin Yi is not included. Even now that he has become an elf, he can't shake his habit of eating meat. He always feels like he can't get enough of the fresh fruit he gathers in the forest.

The elf team will have to solve their own food problem for the time being.

But it's not a big problem.

Numerous fruit trees grow within the ruins.

Because this place itself is the ruins of the ancient elven city.

Many of the fruit trees have been growing for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the fruits they produce are not only plentiful but also have an excellent taste.

For the time being, Lin Yi will not need to worry about the elves' food problem.

……

Lin Yi's hunting trip went very smoothly.

With his strength as an eighth-tier advanced mage, combined with his magical talent as a sun elf and the king-tier quality magic staff in his hand, he was completely unmatched in this forest.

He even managed to kill a high-level magical beast he encountered by chance with a single flaming spear.

I don't know how long they've been hunting~

Lin Yi finally heard a familiar buzzing sound.

That was the sound of a large number of vampire mosquitoes flapping their wings in unison.

Lin Yi followed the sound and quickly found the vampire mosquitoes' lair. It was an ancient tree at least two hundred meters tall, with huge black mosquito nests hanging from its branches.

Each nest was surrounded by swarms of vampire mosquitoes.

There are at least tens of thousands of them, judging by appearance.

"Once I defeat this swarm of vampire mosquitoes, my level will definitely break through to the ninth rank!"

Lin Yi was overjoyed, but she did not act rashly.

The ancient tree where the vampire mosquitoes gathered was very strange, with countless hanging branches that swayed slowly even though there was no wind in the forest.

The ground centered around the ancient tree was covered with a large number of bones within a radius of several hundred meters.

Lin Yi also sensed fluctuations of magic power emanating from the ancient tree.

"This is a magical plant!"

"My magic level has reached level nine."

Compared to magical beasts and monsters, mutated trees like magical plants are much rarer. However, at the same level, magical plants are generally stronger than magical beasts.

Its magical reserves far exceed those of magical beasts.

Especially this large magical plant in front of us, its magical power is even greater.

Lin Yi didn't act rashly; he was assessing whether he could handle the demonic plant with his current strength. As for the vampire mosquitoes, he didn't take them seriously.

He lit a fire, burning as many of these low-level magical beasts as there were vampire mosquitoes.

Just then...

Lin Yi vaguely heard a sound.

The sound was very faint and intermittent, and not very clear.

He released his mental focus, and the voice immediately became clear.

"Elf, this is my territory. You shall leave at once, and I will not make things difficult for you!"

"It's that demonic plant!"

Lin Yi's heart stirred.

As if in response to Lin Yi, the magical plant hundreds of meters away swayed its drooping branches even more violently.

Lin Yi immediately communicated with him telepathically: "The entire ruins are the territory of my elven race. You've taken root and flourished on my territory, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly. Do you think my elven race is easy to bully?"

The magical plant responded, "The elves can no longer rule this land."

"That was before. Now, I am the master of this land!"

Lin Yi held a magic wand, which instantly condensed into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than two meters.

He planned to test the power of this magical plant.

Anyway, since we're only a few hundred meters apart, if we can't handle him, we'll just give up.
