章 39: Blood - 39
Zhou Fan didn't waste any time before he walked into the path. The dark elf king followed him from behind.
"Why are these torches lit?" Zhou Fan asked, although he was pretty sure he already knew.
"These torches contain a substance created by tulin. Although we hate elves, we have to admit that he was the greatest genius among the 10 races." The dark elf king responded.
Zhou Fan nodded at his words.
Zhou Fan and the dark elf king continued down the hallway until they came upon a big door. The dark elf king pulled the lever next to it and the door opened.
Looking inside, Zhou Fan saw that there wasn't much of a difference between this library and the elves. The biggest difference is the lack of a giant tree root.
Without waiting, Zhou Fan started to read all of the book from left to right. Like everyone else, the dark elf king was astounded by Zhou Fans reading speed. Or rather, the fact that he didn't even seem to be reading. However, he quickly shook himself out of that train of thought and ignored Zhou Fan's behavior until he was done reading.
It took around 36 hours to read every book here. After finishing, Zhou Fan realized that it was mostly a waste of time. The only new knowledge in this library was about the dark elves. It told a little more about their history and had some random information that wasn't in the elf library.
Zhou Fan walked over to the table the dark elf king was sleeping on and tapped his shoulder, waking him up.
"Let's go." He said, before he started walking out of the library.
The dark elf king quickly cleared up his mind and followed Zhou Fan outside.
When they got back to the palace, Zhou Fan didn't stop and walked back to the place he had left Yipeng. When he arrived, he saw a bunch of angry dark elves trying to break free of the wood.
He then looked to the side and saw Yipeng eating some carrots.
"You were gone for a while so I stole some of their food." He said with a sly grin.
Zhou Fan chuckled and waved his hand, releasing the dark elves from their constraints.
This time, they didn't immediately attack and just glared hatefully.
It was then that the dark elf king addressed them.
"Listen. You will not attack or bear hatred towards either of them." He said.
The dark elves looked at him and reluctantly agreed. "Yes king wen."
Although they couldn't completely forget their hatred after a single command, they did tone it down.
Afterwards, Zhou Fan didn't stay for long. After resting for a day, he and Yipeng collected the beasts and left the dark elf cave.
When they made it back to the dragon cave, they rested for a single day before they started exploring again. This time, they chose the tunnel that was on the right of the exit tunnel.
They imitated the previous experience of walking down the tunnel until they saw a light. This time, the light was red. When they finally made it out of the tunnel, the first thing they noticed was the big crystal hanging from the ceiling. Next, they noticed that there were nearly no trees. As for the few that existed, they were completely without leaves.
The group didn't waste any time before they began to walk towards the center of the cave. The red light that the crystal gave off made the entire cave have a red hue. It was enough to make Yipeng feel chills. As for Zhou Fan and the beasts, they naturally wouldn't be scared by something like this.
While walking, they noticed that the entire cave was nearly devoid of life. There was little to no grass and not a single animal had been spotted. Even in the dark elves' cave, they still had some animals and trees.
There were only two races that could be here. The demon race or the barbarian race.
"Who do you think?" Zhou Fan asked Yipeng.
He felt no need to elaborate on what he meant since Yipeng was well educated.
"It's likely the demon race. Even the barbarians wouldn't like to live in this environment. As for the demons, they would probably prefer to live here." He answered.
Zhou Fan nodded in agreement before he hopped on Xiaolong's back and rode the rest of the way. Like before, Yipeng rode on Xuanwu.
It didn't take long before Zhou Fan made it to the gates of the demon races area. He rode through and saw a similar situation to the previous villages. Of course, that only referred to the houses. Unlike the other village, there was a foul stench. An odor that could only come from death.
Weirdly enough, Zhou Fan couldn't see anyone walking around. Flexing his ears, Zhou Fan listened deeply for sounds. Within a moment, he picked up what sounded like cheering a mile or so away.
Without wasting time, he rode on Xiaolong towards the sounds. After a certain distance was traveled, even Yipeng could hear the chanting.
When they got closer, Zhou Fan could see a coliseum surrounded by the mountains ahead. He could smell the blood and death coming from that direction. Although it didn't bother Zhou Fan and the beasts too much, Yipeng started to gag.
Out of consideration for Yipeng, Zhou Fan used some wind Qi to disperse the smell. It wasn't but a minute before they arrived at the gates. When they saw that they were unguarded, they welcomed themselves in. By now, the chanting was loud enough to block out other sounds from entering their ears.
They rode no more than 200 feet before they came upon an entrance to the arena. When he walked through, Zhou Fan instantly noticed the sight of two men fighting each other to the death in the middle of the coliseum. These men looked different from humans or elves, however. Zhou Fan looked at their horns and small wings and instantly recalled the name of their species.
Demons.
