Upon hearing Ermao Elf's question, Yu Wenyan was stunned on the spot. His mind was spinning rapidly and he was muttering in his heart.
"Is there something wrong with these two elves' minds?"
However, this speculation was immediately rejected by him, because even if the thoughts of elves are different from those of humans, they would not be unable to understand human speech.
But how could he say this directly to his face, so Yu Wenyan said with some confusion.
"Didn't Senior Da Mao just say that your brother was captured by the orcs?"
"Yes!"
"Then isn't your brother Sanmao?"
"Of course not, because my brother was captured by them when he was still in the crystal wall. He was not even born at that time, so he is not called Sanmao."
Hearing this, Yu Wenyan was speechless. He didn't expect that Da Mao and Er Mao's younger brothers would be so miserable and were taken away before they were born.
But at this time, Da Mao murmured to himself.
"Sanmao is a good name. Our younger brother is named Sanmao!"
Xuan Meng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Then for the sake of helping us choose a name for your brother, can you let us leave here now?"
Er Mao asked curiously.
"Where are you going?"
Xuan Meng answered honestly after hearing this.
"We're going to the hanging tower."
"Ah, you don't want to live anymore?"
Xuan Meng asked strangely.
"Is it dangerous inside the suspended tower?"
Er Mao nodded repeatedly and replied.
"Of course, my grandma died in that tower, so we didn't dare to go in."
Yu Wenyan was a little surprised when he heard this. Both of these two men were at the martial arts level, so her grandmother should have a higher level of cultivation, but she also died in the Hanging Tower. This made Yu Wenyan doubt the people inside the Hanging Tower. The situation is even more worrying.
So, he asked in confusion.
"I would like to ask you two seniors, what is inside that suspended tower? It can be so dangerous!"
Er Mao answered immediately after hearing this.
"There are countless floors in the hanging tower that will never end. My grandma could not hold on until she was only halfway up, and she lost contact with us after that."
At this time, Da Mao also nodded in response.
"She's right. There are two completely different worlds inside and outside the suspended tower. But it's strange to say that a woman broke in two years ago, and another woman entered half a year ago, and now she suddenly appears. All three people want to enter the hanging tower.
I wonder if you human cultivators are all crazy. Why are you rushing in when you know you will definitely die if you go in? "
Hearing this, Yu Wenyan knew that the other person should be Nangong Yun who was fighting against the orcs.
So he asked again.
"Has the young man before us entered the hanging tower?"
"Yes, but he's injured."
Yu Wenyan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"Were you injured by those orcs?"
"Yes, the new Beast King is very powerful, even we can't do anything to him, so it's lucky that the boy was not killed by the Beast King.
And if you two want to enter the Hanging Tower, you must pass the Beast King level. In my opinion, at least one of you two will die. "
Da Mao spoke in a serious tone and looked sincere, so Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng believed that what she said was true.
However, Yu Wenyan would never let Xuan Meng take risks, so he said to Xuan Meng hesitantly.
"Why don't I send you back first..."
But before Yu Wenyan could finish speaking, Xuan Meng shook his head and replied.
"How can we give up early before we even try it!"
Yu Wenyan knew that Xuan Meng would not leave him easily, and of course he did not want to separate from Xuan Meng, but if they were really attacked by the Beast King, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Xuan Meng saw that Yu Wenyan was still hesitating, so she continued.
"Have you forgotten that His Highness didn't explain anything?"
After hearing this, Yu Wenyan suddenly realized that now he could only choose to believe Qingqiu, so he just listened to Yu Wenyan say to Da Mao and Er Mao.
"Thank you two seniors for reminding us. If we can really enter the hanging tower, no matter whether we succeed or not, I, Yu Wenyan, owe you a favor. If I can come back alive in the future, I will definitely help you find Sanmao's whereabouts."
When Da Mao and Er Mao heard this, they were overjoyed. Although they knew that the strength of these two humans was not very high, they were very happy that someone was willing to help them find San Mao.
Immediately, I heard Er Mao say firmly.
"Looking at your kindness, I decided to help you!"
Yu Wenyan asked happily as soon as he heard this.
"How can senior help me?"
"Let's do this, hide when you get near the hanging tower, and I'll help you lure the Beast King away, so you only need to be able to deal with those beast warriors."
Hearing what Er Mao said, Yu Wenyan thought that since Er Mao was a strong person in the martial arts realm, even if she fought against the Beast King, she would not necessarily suffer, so he nodded quickly and replied.
"This is a good idea. With seniors helping me lure away the most powerful beast king, it will be much easier for us to enter the suspended tower."
Then, I heard Er Mao say to Da Mao.
"You keep an eye on our brothers and sisters here. I'll take them there and then come back."
Da Mao nodded and replied after hearing this.
"Just have a quarrel with the big blackhead. Don't really get into a fight. If you piss him off, we won't be able to survive."
"I understand. When the time comes, I will ask him to return my brother. Anyway, we have argued many times over this matter over the years. He probably won't mind one more time."
Hearing the conversation between them, Yu Wenyan became even more confused. What was going on with Da Mao and Er Mao? Logically speaking, their cultivation level should be much higher than that of the Beast King, but they didn't seem to dare to really be enemies with the Beast King. .
Therefore, Yu Wenyan guessed that the elves should have some kind of interdependence with the orcs. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain why the elves could not attack the orcs.
Immediately, Yu Wenyan said to Da Mao again.
"Senior, please rest assured. As long as you can help me lure the Beast King away for a moment, I will have a way to enter the hanging tower."
"Okay then, there's just one more thing I want to ask of you."
Yu Wenyan said curiously when he heard that Da Mao actually asked for help from him.
"Senior, please speak."
"That's right. I want you to help me find out what's going on in the suspended tower. Why is the water level of the spiritual spring we can collect getting higher and higher?"
Yu Wenyan asked in confusion.
"What is the spiritual spring?"
"Oh, the spiritual spring is the source of life for our elves. All elves are born from the spiritual spring in the hanging tower. Therefore, we have to constantly go outside the tower window to find new companions and bring them all back here. .”
After speaking, Da Mao took Yu Wenyan to the territory they were guarding. Only then did Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng discover that there was a light blue crystal the size of a gem placed in all the small stone houses here. It must have been this It's what they call the crystal wall.
Because Yu Wenyan was fascinated by what he was watching, he unconsciously approached one of the small stone houses. Through soul power exploration, he could clearly feel that a living little life was being nurtured in this crystal wall.
However, at this time, Da Mao stepped forward and pointed at the crystal wall in front of Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng and said to them.
"This is our sister."
"How long has she been in here?"
Da Mao thought about it carefully and said.
"Maybe a hundred or two hundred years ago!"
"Ah? One or two hundred years?!"
Yu Wenyan and Xuan Meng both looked surprised. Obviously, they had no idea that the birth process of an elf was so long.
However, Da Mao said with a smile after seeing their incredible expressions.
"Compared with you humans, our growth rate is indeed a bit slow, but fortunately, we elves will have strong cultivation levels when we are born.
For example, when I was born, I already had the strength of a human cultivator at the peak of the Star Realm. However, in the past few decades, I have only broken through the first level, which is equivalent to the initial level of martial arts for you humans. "
"Oh, it turns out that you have lived for decades, senior!"
Xuan Meng sighed in surprise at this time, because judging from Da Mao's appearance, she looked like a very young and beautiful girl. This made it difficult for Xuan Meng to understand that Da Mao was actually dozens of years old.
"If you include the time I was conceived, it would have been hundreds of years by now, so we haven't grown up yet."
"I see, how long will it take for you to grow up?"
Yu Wenyan just asked casually out of curiosity, but Da Mao answered seriously.
"Maybe at least one or two thousand years, because my mother once said that she has lived here for more than four thousand years."
Hearing Da Mao's words, Yu Wenyan felt a little strange, because as far as he knew, although the elves had a long lifespan, their growth was not so slow.
"Did I make a mistake?"
Yu Wenyan muttered to himself in confusion.
"Brother Yan, what are you talking about?"
Interrupted by Xuan Meng's question, Yu Wenyan shook his head and sighed.
"It's nothing, it's just that my understanding of the elves is still very limited."
"Oh, that's true, but I don't understand. There are only two seniors guarding this entire small stone house. So where have the other elves gone?"
Hearing Xuan Meng's doubts, Da Mao said with a smile.
"We, the elves, will go around the windows of the Hanging Tower every new moon night to look for our companions who were born from the spiritual spring, so they are not here now."
"Then if the orcs come to cause trouble at this time, wouldn't it be bad?"
Xuan Meng suddenly thought of this question, but Da Mao shook his head and answered.
"No, there is an agreement between us elves and orcs. Both sides cannot destroy each other's homes. Otherwise, the party that breaks the agreement will be severely punished."
Yu Wenyan asked curiously.
"Then who has the ability to punish the party that breaks the agreement?"
"Of course it is the heaven we worship together!"
"sky?"
"Yes, God is everywhere, and no one can defy his will. This is our belief and the memory flowing in our blood.
The man from three days ago was chased here by the Big Black Head. That man avoided this place after discovering us.
The big black head also continued to chase that person and did not come to destroy our hut. This was because there was an agreement between our two tribes. "
Hearing this, Yu Wenyan couldn't help but sigh.
"We made a promise. I didn't expect that such a sacred and noble belief would exist in the realm of the orcs, which is considered a wilderness by the world. Wouldn't they feel a little ashamed if they knew about it?"
