“What are you saying? The spiritual veins have been exhausted? That’s impossible!”
“Our spirit race’s spiritual channels have been very stable since ancient times, how could they dry up?”
“You must be lying!” The Spirit Clan Leader didn’t believe it at all.
David didn’t give any explanation, but just took out a black stone from his pocket.
He found it on the outskirts of the Misty Forest.
The surface of the rock was covered in cracks, from which black liquid seeped out, emitting a faint stench.
He threw the stone to the leader of the Elves and said.
“Fellow Daoists, take a look for yourselves. I found this on the outskirts of the Misty Forest.”
“You Eldar have lived here for generations, you should know what this is.”
“This is a weathered stone that is produced after the spiritual veins are weathered.”
“Once spiritual veins start to rot, stones like this will appear.”
“As the spiritual channels dry up, there will be more and more stones like this.”
“Until the entire forest becomes a dead zone, where not a blade of grass grows.”
After David finished speaking, he calmly looked at the man in front of him.
The Spirit Clan Leader caught the black stone and examined it carefully for a moment.
His face immediately turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.
He was the captain of the Spirit Clan patrol team, named Qinghe.
Having grown up in this forest since childhood, he had a very good understanding of spiritual flow.
He knew very well that this weathered black stone was indeed a symbol of spiritual vein damage.
He had never imagined that the Spirit Clan’s spiritual veins had become so corrupt.
He looked up at David, the hostility in his eyes gone.
Instead, what emerged was a sense of doubt and worry.
“Are you telling the truth? The spiritual veins have completely dried up? Our spiritual race is truly facing extermination?” Qinghe asked.
“So true.” David nodded and said in a serious tone, “I can feel that the spiritual veins of this forest have been reduced by 30%.”
“Moreover, the rate of decay is accelerating. If action is not taken soon, this forest will soon become a dead zone.”
“Your spirit race will also perish. The chaotic power in me can repair the spiritual veins and prosper this forest.”
“This is also the reason why I came to see the Spirit Clan Chief. I want to work together with the Spirit Clan to help you resolve the crisis of depleting spiritual resources.”
“At the same time, we also hope that Eldar can help us fight the Gods Alliance together.”
After David finished speaking, Qing He fell silent.
He stared at the weathered black stone in his hand, then looked at David in front of him, his heart filled with struggle.
He knew that what David said was most likely true.
Because recently, he also felt that the spiritual energy in this forest was indeed much thinner than before.
Some ancient plants were also starting to show signs of wilting.
He had always thought this was just an ordinary natural phenomenon and had never considered that it was caused by the depletion of the spiritual veins.
The other four Spirit Clan cultivators, after hearing the conversation between the two, also showed expressions of surprise and worry.
They all stared at Qinghe, waiting for his decision.
After a long time, Qinghe slowly raised his head, and the struggle in his eyes gradually faded.
Instead, a strong sense of determination emerged.
He knew that this matter concerned the lives and deaths of the entire Spirit Race, and he could not be negligent in the slightest.
We can no longer use our prejudices to stop David and the others.
Then he clenched his fists in a salute to David and said respectfully.
“Brother Daoist David, I have offended you greatly, please forgive me.”
“I was aware of the depletion of spiritual resources, but I never paid much attention to it.”
“Since you have a way to resolve this spiritual vein crisis, I will take you to see the clan leader.”
“However, the clan leader has never liked humans. Whether you can persuade the clan leader depends on your own ability.”
Qinghe’s hostility was reduced significantly.
“Thank you for your understanding, fellow Daoists.” David smiled.
He gently raised his hand and retracted the chaotic power that had enveloped the five spirit race cultivators.
“If we could meet the clan leader and persuade him to cooperate with us, it would not only be a blessing for the Spirit Clan, but also for all of humanity,” David said.
Qinghe nodded and put away the rotten black stone in his hand.
He winked at the other four Spirit Clan cultivators and said, “You guys continue to patrol here and watch the surrounding area closely.”
“If any other outsiders come in, report it immediately. I will bring Fellow Daoist David and Fellow Daoist Jiang Xuelan to meet the clan leader.”
“Yes, Captain!” the four Spirit Race cultivators answered in unison.
He stowed his wooden staff, disappeared back into the thick fog, and continued his patrol.
