Chapter 11: Dark Elves

The Forest.

In front of Chen Feng appeared an endless forest.

However, compared to the familiar green forests that represent life, the forest in Chen Feng's eyes was pitch black, with no leaves, no birds or insects, and not even a sign of life.

These trees were left with bare trunks, and the countless trees formed a forbidden zone of life, giving a desolate and oppressive feeling.

The bottomless abyss was called the home of demons, sheltering demons and other evil creatures, including demon spiders, Bodashe, demon hunters, various undead creatures, apostate devils, twisted mortals, and even worse monsters.

Some powerful beings had taken over the abyss and used their power to change the environment to suit their own needs.

The bottomless abyss had hundreds of levels, with 666 known levels and countless more obscure ones.

The abyss, by its nature, represented infinity.

No one knew how many evil beings were nurtured here, but one thing was certain: the residents of this land were not kind-hearted.

Summoning beasts left traces.

Just like when summoning the lesser demon, the blood and decay that appeared in Chen Feng's eyes, now the forest in front of him indicated that the summoned beast had some intricate connection with the forest.

Mental exertion.

Chen Feng's cheeks began to redden, and a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead.

The power of the second summoned beast exceeded Chen Feng's expectations.

Excessive consumption.

His mental power was about to reach its limit.

The correct course of action for Chen Feng would be to give up the summoning. After all, mental power affected the brain, and if the brain was damaged, he could fall in rank or, worse, become a fool.

But...

Chen Feng was reluctant.

If he gave up now, the hard-won contract would be deemed invalid. Not only that, the energy of the tentacle monster's body had already been consumed by more than half. Choosing to give up meant that this offering would also become useless.

He had no choice but to take a gamble.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Feng, though reluctant, had to endure the pain of giving up this opportunity. He had only five seconds left before his strength could support him. Once he reached the critical point, he would have to give up the summoning.

"1... 2..."

A difficult decision.

Chen Feng's face darkened as he squeezed out these numbers from his teeth, almost sounding desperate: "5!"

"There's not enough time. It looks like I have to give up..."

He sighed, looking somewhat resigned. Just as he was about to disperse his mental power, the ground suddenly trembled beneath his feet, and an inconspicuous crack appeared, followed by a graceful figure emerging from it.

Success?!

Chen Feng, drenched in sweat as if he had just been pulled out of water, gasped for breath as he looked ahead. He was just inches away from passing the other party.

A humanoid creature appeared in front of Chen Feng.

Standing at about 160 centimeters tall and weighing around 50 kilograms, she had deep purple skin and silver-white hair.

Her long, flowing curls draped over her shoulders, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with radiance. Her oval face exuded a faint air of nobility.

She carried a simple bow and a quiver of arrows on her back.

A dark elf!

A species that lived in the abyss, they worshipped the spider queen, Lolth.

(The abyss did not have a kingdom; some weaker beings depended on stronger ones for survival. Lolth, the queen of the abyssal hell, was worshipped by dark elves and some highly intelligent spiders.)

Dark elves had the following characteristics: Extra immunity: magic, poison.

Night combat, strong agility.

Night combat: Dark elves were favored in the dark and could discern anything in the darkness.

Strong agility: They had a large lung capacity and were better at evading and ambushing than other races.

Dark elves were an anomaly.

Compared to other peace-loving elves, the corruption of dark elves was clearly evident in their appearance. Their skin turned black, their hair turned white, and their eyes flickered with a fiery red light, much like the flames of hatred burning in their hearts.

Dark elves loathed sunlight and tried to avoid any travel that might expose them to it. They were usually shorter than other elves, but their movements were more agile.

The society of dark elves was a matriarchal one, with females as the primary rulers, while males were relegated to less important tasks, such as fencing or certain magical studies. As the priestesses of the spider queen, Lolth, the females ruthlessly ruled over the males, sitting at the top of the power pyramid in the dark elf society.

The females used the powerful abilities granted by the goddess Lolth to mercilessly rule over the males, perched at the top of the power pyramid in the dark realm, cruel and full of doubt, always fearing the rebellion of the males.

"It's actually a dark elf."

A pale tinge of red appeared on Chen Feng's face. This summoning was very successful; every elf was a master archer, and their mastery of archery was instinctual.

If the lesser demon was a meat shield, then the dark elf was a long-range attacker, hiding in the shadows. Some slow-moving enemies would only end up being beaten.

It was quite a surprise.

Chen Feng ordered her to demonstrate her archery skills to him; he needed to assess her abilities.

However...

The actions of the dark elf were intriguing. There was no hint of submission in her eyes, only a disdainful look of a superior towards an inferior.

Chen Feng's expression was somewhat strange. If he hadn't misunderstood, the dark elf in front of him...

Seemed to have not yet realized the reality?!
