Use the XP System To Build the Devil City

The forest elves have lived in this forest for generations.

As the guardian of the forest, while protecting the forest, relying on the feedback of the forest to support themselves is considered by the forest elves to be the most natural way of survival.

Adapted to their environment, all forest elves are excellent hunters and archers.

Gather edible plants and fruits from the forest. Hunt prey and use monster materials to make clothes and other props.

Although the living habit of relying on mountains to eat mountains and rely on water to eat water is a bit of luck.

But with excellent fighting ability and knowledge of the forest, the life of the forest elves is still passable.

I have never been tight and worried about food.

But things are completely different now.

The population has dropped to the limit, there is a serious shortage of reliable fighters, and they are squeezed out and suppressed by other races. Food that has never been worrying about before has become very difficult to obtain.

Especially recently, the forest has entered winter.

Wild fruits are covered by ice and snow, and animals and monsters rarely appear.

Forest elves, who rely on hunting and gathering for food, cannot replenish new food.

The village's originally small surplus of grain bottomed out in an instant.

The elders can only put a few slices of dried mushrooms in the water to make soup for the tribe.

Each person can only drink one bowl of clear, tasteless soup every day to satisfy their hunger.

This is still a good time.

Recently, there are no more dried mushrooms in Tangli.

The children were cold and hungry, shivering huddled together.

The adults feel pitiful looking at the children, but they themselves are also cold and hungry.

Without food, houses and clothes to keep out the cold, even the elves with a long lifespan will not be able to survive and will die early.

The forest elves have reached a critical moment of life and death.

Yisha is the 32nd generation patriarch of the forest elves and the youngest generation patriarch.

It turned out that this patriarch was not Isa, but Isa's father.

But Isa's father was killed by the flame demon king bear in the battle not long ago.

Yisha stepped into battle unprepared and took over her father's position.

But Yisha was not immersed in the grief of her father's death, but took up the burden of leading the tribe without hesitation.

Although she always smiles and encourages her people with her actions, everyone knows that she will cry secretly at night.

Isa is forced to be strong, and she won't let others see her weak side.

Isa turned into the iron-blood patriarch, and only when there is no one around, she will dispel the magic and turn back into an ordinary forest elf girl.

Isha devotes all her energy to serving her people. What she often said was to lead the elf family out of the predicament, to revive the elf family and regain their former glory.

When the forest started to snow and the food was seriously lacking, Isa was also the first to leave the village and enter the dangerous forest to find food for everyone.

Unfortunately, fate always plays vicious jokes on good people.

The Flaming Demon Bear did not hibernate. It appeared, eyeing the forest elf village again.

Monsters are very greedy.

As long as they have eaten the meat of elves once, they will remember the taste and never forget it again.

And this flaming demon bear, which had already killed more than a dozen forest elves, couldn't find food because of the snow, and was starving and mad.

The flame demon king bear is a very terrifying monster.

They're big, powerful, responsive, and fast.

They are covered with flame-like red hair, and when they run, they look like a burning battlefield, making people shudder when they look at them from a distance.

This is also the origin of their names.

When the flame demon bear stands up, it can reach a height of 3-4 meters.

And the flame demon bear that killed many forest elves is about 5 meters long, and it can be regarded as the king of flame demon bears.

With just one slap, they can turn a forest elf into a pulp.

One bite can break the spine of a forest elf.

The prey it stared at never survived.

As the original tyrant of the forest, the forest elves certainly wouldn't just do nothing and wait to be eaten by the flame demon king bear.

The forest elves have fought this flaming demon king bear many times.

It's a pity that the fur of the flame demon bear is very resistant to magic.

It is difficult for the wind magic that the forest elves are good at to cause effective damage to it.

To kill the Flame Demon Bear must deal heavy physical damage.

But the forest elves have no suitable weapons.

Wooden arrows cannot penetrate the thick hide of the Flame Lord Bear.

Forest elves do not have the resources or technology to make metal weapons that human soldiers would use.

Therefore, he has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with the flame demon king bear.

Now, the hungry flame demon bear came near the forest elf's village again smelling the smell.

It seriously threatened the safety of the elves.

Either starve to death, or be killed and eaten by the flame demon king bear, seems to have become the only choice for the forest elves.

At this time, it was Isa who stood up.

"I will not let everyone starve to death, nor will I let everyone be eaten. I will lure the flame demon king bear away. Then go find food."

"Isa, it's too dangerous. It's snowing outside, we don't have any clothes to keep out the cold, and you haven't eaten for days. How are you going to run past the Flame Demon Bear?"

"Then I'll try it too. Besides, I have the clothes my father left me. They're our best clothes. I'll wear that out."

"That was left by your father for your wedding. Although that dress is nice, it doesn't keep out the cold. Yisha, let me go if you want to go. I'll lure the flame demon king bear away."

"No, this is the task of the patriarch. I can only go."

In this way, Yisha braved the blizzard to lure the flame demon king bear away.

Through the gap in the room, you can see the outside situation.

Still a large expanse of snow.

It has been a few days since I saw the flame demon king bear.

It is expected that Isa successfully lured it away.

"Elder, since Yisha left, how many days has it been?"

"It's the seventh day."

When hearing this number, everyone fell silent immediately.

No one spoke further.

It has been seven days. If Isha managed to get rid of the Blazing Demon Bear, she should be back anyway.

The outside world is hell.

No one can survive seven days in such a harsh environment without food and clothing.

That is to say

"Issa?"

"Don't say that kind of unlucky thing, Isa must still be alive."

"Yes, the patriarch must still be alive."

Everyone uttered their voices with the last of their energy.

But after shouting for a while, in addition to feeling exhausted, there is also a huge sense of emptiness.

Everyone hopes that Isa is still alive.

But everyone knows that this is just self-deception.

Isa can't come back.

She must have died.

There is no hope for the forest elves.

"Elder, I'm hungry."

A pale elf girl asked the elder for help with a very weak voice.
