Aloy felt like he was going to die. He hadn't eaten for several days. There were only branches of the damn plants in his stomach and the mucus they secreted. This kept him from dying of dehydration, but it was also the source of his pain.

The name of this plant is called Bergni, which means "wriggling branches" in Elvish. They live in dark underground caves, but they particularly like warm places. This characteristic is conducive to their hunting.

Yes, they are hunting. Unlike those docile plants on the surface, bergneys will hide in the darkness. As long as they feel a slight increase in temperature, their branches will surge out like a tide and tightly entangle their prey.

However, they don't just kill their prey. Instead, they burrow into the prey's body through holes and secrete a large amount of mucus to increase the prey's body temperature.

Bergney stays comfortably in the warm body of the prey until the prey dies of extreme hunger a few days later (if the prey is not tortured to death in the process), they will secrete digestive juices to melt the prey. .

Aloy didn't know why Bergney did this. Why didn't he just eat the prey?

Of course, he doesn't want to know that dark magic plants always have strange characteristics. If you want to survive in underground caves, you only need to know what to do, not why.

Aloy has always known what to do and has survived into adulthood in a cruel environment.

The only intelligent creatures living in underground caves are the dark elves. They are a matriarchal society with seven families. Each family has a vast territory and is ruled by a magical matron. Male dark elves can only achieve the position of captain of the personal guard at most, and their status is much lower than that of female dark elves.

Unfortunately, Aloy is a male dark elf, and even more unfortunately, he is a hybrid dark elf.

Although female dark elves have no concept of loyalty and can have sex with all kinds of creatures when they feel like it, they are also ashamed to give birth to mixed-race offspring.

Aloy has known since he was a child that if he wants to survive, he must stay away from the women in the family, but he cannot leave the family territory. This is not only because there are more and more ferocious magical creatures outside, but there are also people from other dark elf families. Threat - They do not accept wanderers as gently as surface elves do.

Aloy cautiously stayed at the edge of the family, relying on collecting plants and catching small monsters for food. He was quite satisfied with this. Although living was difficult, it was better than losing his life. He thought that this kind of life would continue for a long time, until one day he was eaten by a high-level monster or found by someone from his family.

But what he didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly, when he was completely caught off guard.

Aloy stood in a shadow, his body pressed against the stone wall, wishing he could embed himself in it. Because of the nervousness, a layer of sticky cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his heart was beating loudly, as if it was about to rush out of his chest.

His head was also pressed against the stone wall, and he could only stare at a passage not far away with his peripheral vision, where a group of fully armed dark elves were walking past.

Dark elves have excellent night vision and can move in the dark without additional lighting. On the contrary, if they are on the surface, just a trace of sunlight can make their eyes sting to tears.

Aloy could clearly see that the leader was a female dark elf, the mistress's eldest daughter Caris. He was very surprised. Caris' status and ability in the family were second only to the mistress. Why would she come to such a remote place in person?

However, before he could think clearly, Caris discovered him, and a red flame shot out from the wand in her hand, rushing towards Aloy's location.

The speed of the flames was so fast that Aloy had to roll on the spot to barely avoid it. However, this also exposed him to the public. When he raised his head again, several gleaming iron spears were aimed at his chest. head.

"Is that you?" Caris looked at him with an unkind expression.

It was such an unlucky time and we met on a narrow road, Aloy thought to himself, why did he meet Caris? She is the one who Wei Er knows about her life experience, and the other is Aloy's biological mother, who is the current head of the family.

Yes, Aloy and Caris are half-siblings, but Caris will never admit this relationship. Her eyes when she looks at Aloy are full of disgust, as if he is some kind of filth. thing.

"So you bitch is not dead yet? Then let me get rid of this shame for my mother!"

Caris raised her staff and was about to cast a fatal spell, but she stopped midway through the spell: "This is too easy for you. I have to think about what to do..."

Female dark elves can deal with men of lower status than them at will. Their usual method is to cruelly play with these unlucky men. This is a very enjoyable thing for them. Sometimes they will compare with each other who has more tricks. .

Caris thought for a while before she came up with an idea. She ordered her men to find a burgundy tree, and then apply special potion on Aloy's eyes, nose and ears. Bergney was afraid of this potion, so he would not enter Aloy's body from these three places, and he would not die too quickly or easily.

After everything was ready, Aloy was pushed into Bergney's branches. The branches immediately wrapped his limbs tightly and swam close to his body, looking for a warm "cave".

Aloy screamed out of fear and pain, but the scream soon turned into a low whimper - Bergney found his mouth, and a large number of branches penetrated into his stomach. , his tongue was also compressed, preventing him from pronouncing complete syllables.

Looking at her "work", Caris smiled with satisfaction. In fact, she wanted to stay and continue to appreciate it, but her mother assigned her an important task, so she couldn't stay too long. After only admiring it for a short while, she had to take her with her. The guards left in a hurry.

In the darkness, the only sounds left were the scraping of Bergney's branches and Aloy's painful breathing.

Aloy didn't want to die. Even if he could only survive in the mud, he still wanted to live. So when he saw a light in the distance and heard footsteps coming, he used up all the remaining strength in his body and twisted desperately in order to make a sound to attract the attention of those guys - regardless of What kind of creatures they are.

"Captain, there seems to be something ahead." The swordsman who was walking at the front to explore the road stopped when he heard the sound.

"Be careful!" Captain Zuoji is a heavy swordsman. He is covered in armor from head to toe, and he is holding a big sword as high as half a man in his hand. This kind of equipment makes him have good defense and attack power, and he is agile. It's too low, not even a rabbit can run away.

Zaki and the swordsman changed positions, came to the front of the team, and took the lead in the direction of the sound.

He walked carefully, even though he was covered in heavy armor, he didn't make any unnecessary noise, for fear that he might accidentally alert the unknown creatures hiding in the darkness.

After turning a corner, he finally saw clearly what it was. He took a long breath, made a safety gesture, and stepped back.

"Mr. Zaki, what is that?" Just as he was about to continue on his way, a pleasant voice came.

The speaker was tightly wrapped in a long cloak, and the big hood hung down, covering his face. Zaki was sure that there must be magic under the hood. Even if these coverings were removed in front of him, he would never be able to see his face clearly.

Dressed like this, Zuoji couldn't distinguish his body shape and appearance, and could only tell from his voice that the other person was a man, although this man's voice was better than many women's.

This kind of disguise is very common on the mainland. When walking outside, most people will more or less hide their identity, not to mention that the other person is a mage, and Zuoji has no right to comment on his clothing.

Zuo Ji said in a respectful tone: "Master Mage, there is a burgundy in front of you. You know, it is the disgusting creature that lives in the cave. Now it has caught a dark elf and is tasting the "delicious food" Woolen cloth."

Zuoji's team is an A-level adventurer team. Each member is well-trained and well-known in the adventurer union. Only then did he dare to take on this task and go to the depths of a dangerous underground cave to pick a famous species for his employer. Flowers for Corona.

There was originally a female mage in the team, but she consumed too much magic power in the last mission and is still recuperating. So Zuo Ji temporarily put together the one in front of her.

"Oh? Dark Elf?" The other party seemed very interested and walked directly towards the corner.

"Master Mage, be careful!" Zuoji's words were not polite, but came from the bottom of his heart.

Mages are very powerful, but few in number, so most of them are very arrogant, and many have weird tempers. You must be careful when dealing with them. If you anger them, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous.

But this mage named Claire was different. He didn't have any quirks and his attitude was very easy-going. Zoji liked him very much and he became more sincere unconsciously.

As soon as Claire turned the corner, she saw a humanoid creature entangled in several tentacle-like branches. Those branches were sticky and squirming on the man's body.

The word "f*ck" almost blurted out, and Claire coughed to cover it up, complaining in her mind: Is this novel so heavy-flavored? It must be 25-year-old, right? It’s time to mosaic!

Yes, Claire is a time traveler. Just two months ago, he was lying in front of the computer playing games. Maybe it was because he hadn't slept for too long. He felt dizzy, closed his eyes, and then changed rooms and changed rooms. The world has changed... Well, my body has not changed, it has just returned to the state it was in when I was in my early twenties.

After the initial shock, Claire found a book on the table called "The Empire of St. Oatlan". It is a novel set in a Western fantasy world. There are many races in it, and these races all live in On a continent called Ammon.

The story unfolds from the perspective of the current emperor of the Holy Alterland Empire, the first empire of mankind. The author's writing is good, but it is a pity that he gave up after writing 10 chapters.

Claire continued to turn back, looking for any other clues. When he turned to the last page, he saw another paragraph of text that read:

Dear, when you read this paragraph, it means that you have come to the continent of Ammon, the current time is Chapter 10 of the novel, and your identity is Claire Gabrielle Reith, the chief court magician of the Saint Oatlan Empire. Geckert, your task is to play your role well to promote the plot and help this article to be completed smoothly.

The author of the book "The Empire of Saint Oatlan" is a once-in-a-century wizard, the True Purple Star. If this book can be completed, its achievements will never be inferior to that of "The Lord of the Rings"! So dear, you must work hard and complete the task, don't let the genius be buried just like this!

ps: Don’t worry, this novel will automatically fix the bugs caused by time travel. Please go ahead and do it boldly!

Claire: "... God is no less than The Lord of the Rings! Can you believe the 18-line bragging author is so awesome? If this novel had one-tenth the quality of The Lord of the Rings, the author wouldn't have just written the beginning. It’s just a eunuch!”
