Silver Moonwalker!
When Soren saw the figure descending from the sky, he realized that the identity of that Elven Noble was more complicated than he had imagined. To be able to attract a quasi-legendary professionist serving Lady Silver Moon to rescue him, he likely possessed the bloodline of the Elven royalty. So in an instant, Soren made a very bold decision, which was to rob the other party. That Elven Noble definitely had legendary-level items; otherwise, the mutated vines could not have blocked the predators for three whole days.
Soren’s movements were extremely fast!
As an experienced thief, after knocking out the Elven Noble with a quick strike, he swiftly searched him and pulled out a dimensional bag and a leaf that looked green and seemed very extraordinary, which was kept closely. After obtaining these two items, Soren intended to escape, but suddenly, a cold light shot in from afar!
Swoosh!
Soren let out a cry of despair as the hand holding the dimensional bag was pierced by the arrow, half of the arrow penetrating his palm.
The dimensional bag fell directly to the ground, and due to the angle of the arrow, he had lost strength and couldn’t hold on to it. In the distance, the Silver Moonwalker avoided the Half-blood Orc’s attack, and then coldly notched an arrow, aiming again at Soren behind. As a quasi-legendary professionist, the Silver Moonwalker possessed the combat abilities of a ranger and could also use the advanced divine techniques of a priest, making her a naturally advanced profession close to the legendary level.
A figure of a druid descended from the sky.
At the moment when Soren was aimed at by the Elven Longbow, the hair on his back stood up, and without hesitation, he picked up the unconscious Elven Noble and directly shielded himself with him. The Silver Moonwalker indeed hesitated; she turned and shot an arrow into the arm of a predator, then dashed toward Soren’s position. The speed of her sprint was astonishing, almost leaving a blur behind, which was clearly a supernatural ability.
Soren took a deep breath, disregarding picking up the dimensional bag on the ground, and quickly tucked that strange green leaf into his arms. Then he gritted his teeth and threw the Elven Noble out, before soaring into the shadows to escape. The Silver Moonwalker hesitated for a moment but still reached out to catch the Elven Noble, checking for his breath to find that he had merely fainted. Then she abruptly readied her longbow to block an attack from behind. It seemed she still wanted to capture Soren, but at this moment, he was already out of sight.
——“Avoiding Detection.”
Once Soren entered the shadows, he activated the last dodge, and upon entering stealth mode, he quickly retreated, leaving without looking back.
The druid that had just landed was also a high-level spellcaster!
The Silver Moonwalker’s skills were extraordinarily high; she was able to shoot arrows while blocking the opponent’s attacks, her slender figure moving as if dancing a strange dance. Every attack was just a bit off from hitting her. This was a very sophisticated evasion technique, already approaching the specialty of [Legendary Evasion], and she alone blocked five or six predators.
The roar of beasts erupted!
After the druid landed, the weeds on the ground began to grow wildly, blocking the predators charging towards her for more than ten seconds.
Then a gigantic brown bear suddenly appeared out of nowhere, roaring as it lunged forward, raising its massive paw with a fierce wind roaring. A Half-blood Orc with over 20 points of strength was actually sent flying, spitting blood, with grotesque claw marks on his chest, all of his ribs caved in. The ferocious brown bear let out a deep roar, weighing over a ton, with thick fat and muscle beneath its tough fur, seemingly unaffected even after being slashed by the predators.
This was a bear of biological level above 15, likely an animal companion raised by a wild druid!
…………
“Hoo hoo hoo!”
Soren’s figure leaped through the dense forest, stopping temporarily only after covering a distance of over a kilometer. He gritted his teeth, broke the arrow shaft in his palm, and slowly pulled the arrowhead out of the hole in his hand. If it had hit any other part of his body, he might have been in a more desperate situation. The Silver Moonwalker serving Lady Silver Moon was extremely challenging; they were somewhat akin to low-tier elects, possessing additional powers granted by deities.
The faith of Lady Silver Moon spread across many races, with elves being one of her primary sources of believers!
His palm trembled slightly.
Soren gritted his teeth and smeared some potion on himself. Then he stealthily fled forward, knowing that with one Silver Moonwalker and one high-level druid, it wouldn’t be easy for the predators to take down that Elven Noble. The power levels of both sides were not far apart, as most professionists who could advance to be Silver Moonwalkers were above total level 18; even if they hadn’t entered the legendary domain, they wouldn’t be too far away. Soren had to create enough distance now and find a way to completely shake them off.
Silver Moonwalkers had ranger abilities, and they would not be much worse than wanderers in tracking!
Soren kept fleeing.
After covering a distance of over twenty kilometers, he finally paused for a moment to take out the strange green leaf.
If this were not a legendary equipment, then it would have been completely unworthy for him to take such a big risk to steal it!
It should be known that Silver Moonwalkers were notoriously known for holding grudges, most of them being female elves, who had long lifespans and good memories; offending them easily led to long periods of retaliation and hunting.
Soren attempted to identify the item, but unexpectedly a row of data appeared:
“Identification failed!”
“Would you like to use soul energy to identify the item?… Identification requires 3000 points of soul energy!…”
………………
“How is that possible?!”
Soren’s face revealed a hint of shock, followed by a look of joy. He had successfully identified legendary-level items like [Elemental Crystal (Earth)] in one go, yet this green leaf had failed, even prompting him that it required a whole 3000 points of killing experience to identify. This was something that had never appeared in his memory before. Could it be that the leaf he had stolen had surpassed the level of legendary items?
Unlikely!
Above legendary items were artifacts, and artifacts could not be carried around by an Elven Noble. Moreover, artifacts had strict limitations, and they possessed laws and energy fields around them, indicating he could not simply handle them. Because most artifacts would injure those who handle them carelessly, they could directly leave you gravely hurt. Even legendary thieves would only dare to touch them after activating Universal Skillful Hand.
“Pay killing experience.”
Although he didn’t know what the leaf in his hand was, Soren did not hesitate to choose to spend soul energy, as he felt this leaf was absolutely extraordinary.
A green light appeared!
It burst forth like a powerful vitality, and astonishingly, the wound on Soren’s palm began to heal at an incredible rate.
In the blink of an eye.
The blood hole in his palm completely disappeared, and the wound left by the arrow healed entirely.
Then a line of data appeared:
“Item Type: Leaf of Life [Unknown].
Item Level: [Elven Holy Relic]
Item Description: A leaf inherited from the mythical era, from some unpredictable ancient existence, containing a powerful life force, although part of its power has already been used.
Equipment Requirement: None.
Equipment Effect: Heal serious injury (1 time/day), Barkskin (3 times/day), Legendary Activate Plant (0/1).
Consumption Effect: Permanently increase 1 point of constitution, 10 points of health, and gain regeneration specialization.” [Note: This item cannot raise constitution above 25 points!]
…………
Elven Holy Relic?
Soren remained relatively calm when he saw the accompanying divine techniques but was extremely surprised when he saw the last effect.
Because what he held was an exceptionally rare item that could permanently increase attributes!
There were far too few items in this world that could increase attributes, and those that could further enhance rare attributes were even rarer. Although there were some extremely rare items that could raise attributes to about 20 points, items that could continue to enhance on top of 20 points of extraordinary attributes would likely number fewer than ten across the world.
A faint spell light appeared!
Soren’s expression suddenly changed, and after putting away the Leaf of Life, he quickly fled forward.
Someone had used a spell to locate this item!
Any item above legendary would possess some special energy; past owners could use spells to locate the target. The most representative cases were artifacts and high-level legendary items, all of which bore special marks, especially artifacts, which were most easily detectable by spells—sometimes even drawing the interest of high-ranking deities.
Soren hesitated for a moment.
Then he took out the Leaf of Life again, without a word, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it directly.
After eating it, he believed no one could use spells to locate him!
………………
At the foot of the mountain.
The druid looked sullenly at the Elven Noble in front of him, as the predators had retreated; they lacked the confidence to kill a powerful Silver Moonwalker alongside a high-level druid.
Slap!
The spell light in the druid’s hand dissipated, and with a cold expression, he slapped the Elven Noble, causing his cheek to swell. He said in a deep voice, “The Leaf of Life has been used!”
“How dare you bring that out secretly! Come back with me to see the Great Druid!”
The Silver Moonwalker’s tall figure walked over to a pool of blood. She picked up the blood-stained soil, sniffed it, and then turned and asked, “Should I track that guy?”
The druid slightly bowed to show respect and slowly said, “If possible, please bring him back, Your Excellency.”
“The energy of the Leaf of Life is still within his body.”
