In mid-air.
Wu Ming was thinking about tonight's incident with a serious face.
Previously, Wu Ming had noticed the aura of East Sea City's Pang family on Li Datian through his Eye of Insight. He also knew that Li Datian's family lived in East Sea City.
Therefore, Wu Ming guessed that the reason for tonight's beast tide outbreak must be because the Pang family threatened Li Datian to take away the apeman's cub.
By doing so, the beast tide could destroy Wuyuan City.
Finally, it would weaken the power of Garan Castle.
After all, Wuyuan City was in the process of relocating and would soon be fully integrated into Garan Castle, becoming Wu Ming's subordinate force. The one who didn't want to see this scene the most was, of course, the Pang family from East Sea City.
"What a great Pang family!"
"When I have time, I must go to East Sea City to meet you guys. I want to see how much strength the Pang family has without the old master."
Wu Ming's expression was indifferent.
Ten minutes later.
In the dark Elf Canyon.
Wu Ming landed on the ground and placed the unconscious apeman's cub on the ground, attracting a concerned blue gaze from the darkness.
"My child!"
The B-grade apeman sprinted out and hugged its cub. After confirming that its cub was not in danger, it heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, the apeman looked at Wu Ming.
"Why … why did you help me?"
The apeman asked.
In its view, humans and beasts were mortal enemies. Once they met, a war would break out.
This man in front of it actually helped it find its cub, which was completely different from other humans.
This made the apeman elves very puzzled.
Wu Ming sat on a stone and looked at the bright moon in the sky. Only then did he realize that it was already the latter half of the night and time to sleep.
"I don't know."
Wu Ming said, "My subconscious tells me that you guys shouldn't be enemies. Maybe we can try to be friends."
All of the above were Wu Ming's lies.
The reason why he said so was purely because through the Eye of Insight, he knew that the apeman had always been aloof from worldly affairs. The reason why they started the beast tide was because their cub was taken away by humans.
"Friends?"
The apeman elf shook its head. "Humans and Direbeasts can never be friends!"
Hearing this, Wu Ming smiled and did not continue.
"Leave, human!"
The apeman elf hugged her child tightly. "However, you saved my child. Before you leave, I can give you something as a thank you gift."
As it spoke, it ran towards its own cave.
Wu Ming did not leave.
Five minutes later.
The apeman elf was holding its cub, dragging a one-meter-long clam shell in its hand.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
"How can there be such a big clam shell on land?"
Wu Ming hurriedly asked.
"It was caught from the sea a long time ago."
The apeman elf's speech was becoming more and more fluent. He hurriedly used his hands to open the huge clamshell, revealing the things inside.
Wu Ming looked at it and was immediately surprised.
First of all, there was a fist-sized pearl in the shell. It was worth more than ten million pet coins and had reached Class B. It could be used as a raw material for many evolutionary foods.
Apart from the pearl, there were also many gems inside.
Those gems were collected by the apeman elf when it had nothing to do. They were all raw materials for advanced evolutionary foods.
"This is a thank you gift."
The apeman elf said.
Wu Ming nodded and put away the clam shell in the system space. This miraculous method surprised the apeman elf, as if it were envious.
"Human, I can tell that you're very strong!"
Looking at Wu Ming who turned around and left, the apeman elf suddenly spoke with fear in its eyes.
Wu Ming smiled but said nothing. He stepped on the mist transformed by the Atomic Beast and flew to the sky. Soon, he left the Elf Valley and disappeared into the night.
High in the sky.
Wu Ming yawned.
"Apeman elves, the offspring of the red-haired gorilla and the elves, have high intelligence. In the future, will they evolve into an advanced race like humans?"
Wu Ming was curious.
There was no limit to the evolution of pets and beasts. Anything was possible in the future. Therefore, Wu Ming did not rule out this possibility.
It was just that he didn't care about that.
In comparison, Wu Ming was more interested in the elves.
"The place where the apeman elves live is called the Elf Valley. So, are there elves in that place?"
The more curious Wu Ming was, the more curious he became.
Whoosh!
He hurried to turn around. He was wrapped in the black mist and his presence was covered by the Atomic Beast. He snuck into the Elf Valley and walked inside.
Under the bright moonlight, Wu Ming saw everything clearly.
At the center of the Elf Valley, he saw a tree that was dozens of meters tall. It was glowing and some humanoid creatures were resting on the tree.
Wu Ming took out his binoculars.
On the tree.
In front of a building that looked like a bird's nest made of wood stood a person that was blue all over. It was wearing clothes made of leaves and holding a spear in its hand.
Its ears were long and pointed. Its green hair was tied in braids and hung down casually.
He quietly opened the Insightful Eye.
[Name: Xi Bei]
[Race: Smurf]
[Level: E]
[Remarks: A rare species of Smurf. It has high intelligence and has mastered many languages such as Elven, Human, and Beast. It has Smurf characters and stands aloof from worldly affairs.]
Seeing this, Wu Ming's pupils shrank.
"It's really an elf!"
He took a deep breath and felt that he had made the right choice.
After looking around, Wu Ming found that the cave where the apeman elves lived was dozens of kilometers away from here. It was relatively far away. In addition, the trees nearby were very tall. The elves' nests were built on trees, so it was difficult to be discovered.
"So, how did the apemen and elves breed the apeman elves?
Isn't there a reproductive isolation between different species? "
Wu Ming felt that it was very strange.
He took the binoculars and continued to secretly observe the surroundings. Finally, in the center of the Elf Valley, in the dense forest with an average height of more than 50 meters, he found a dozen tree nests.
Each tree nest was three meters in diameter. It wasn't very big, but there were several Smurfs living inside.
In total, there were more than 100 Smurfs here. It was considered a small Smurf tribe.
"These Smurfs don't seem to be big."
Wu Ming continued to observe.
An adult Smurf was about 1.5 meters tall, thin and small. They were more agile than monkeys and could jump from tree to tree. They were good at escaping.
"One Class C, three Class D, more than a dozen Class E, and the rest are all Class F!"
"This Smurf tribe is very strong. If it weren't for the fact that they stand aloof from worldly affairs, they would have been able to conquer an average city like Wuyuan City."
Wu Ming continued to gather information about the Smurfs.
He was very interested in this race that could communicate freely with humans. He remembered that he had been planning to build an entertainment center for pets. He had many ideas.
"Smurfs stand aloof from worldly affairs. I wonder if they are suitable as psychological counselors for pets …"
Wu Ming was in deep thought.
