Chapter 137
The male elf holding Xu Yi just now raised the bow and arrow in his hand to point at Xu Yi, and shouted coldly, "Human, immediately apologize for your disrespect, or don't blame me for being rude!"
The elves surrounding them all looked uncertain, staring at Xu Yi coldly.
Yanis was taken aback, and hurriedly moved to Xu Yi's side and whispered, "President Xu, you... how could you say such a thing to the elder?"
Xu Yi smiled at her: "Don't worry, the elder will not be angry, because I am telling the truth."
Everyone turned to look at Elder Elusia, and she didn't see any unpleasant expression on her face, but seemed to be very happy because of Xu Yi's words, smiled and said: "Human, I said just now, it's pointless. Compliments are meaningless to me. Although I don't look older than you, I'm actually over three hundred years old, old enough to be your great-grandmother. Do you think it makes sense to compliment me?"
Xu Yi shook his head: "No, I think you have misunderstood the elder. Although your beauty and temperament really make my heart move, the value I value most is your wisdom and knowledge. If I can learn something from you, This time I think it's a good deal. What's more, the elves also contain values that you may not have discovered yourself, such as her..." Xu Yi pointed to Anise.
A group of elves looked at Yanis in amazement, while Yanis pointed at herself blankly with a look of bewilderment.
"Listen to Yanis, did you ever want to ask her to be your reward for helping our tribe this time?" As soon as Elder Elushia said this, Xu Yi, Steele and Vivian were three Suddenly, I felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot, and the elves surrounding me were all exuding murderous auras. "Human, I want to solemnly warn you. You humans have captured many elves as slaves in the past. Our elves hate this kind of thing. If you want to make such a request, I advise you to leave here immediately. Even if our tribe is in difficulty because of difficulties If I disappear from this world, I will never agree to your request."
Looking at the hostile eyes of the elves around, Xu Yi smiled bitterly and was about to open his mouth. Yanis waved her hands first and said, "Elder, you misunderstood. President Xu didn't want me to be his slave, he just... just wanted me to work for him."
"Work?" Elder Elushia looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "What can Yanice do for you? She's still a child."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Respected Elder Elushia, as I said just now. There is value in Anis that you have not discovered. Let me give an example, when Anis is by my side. In the past half a month, she once helped me complete part of the exterior design work for a new product launched by our chamber of commerce. This new product has been sold for half a month, but it has already been sold for our chamber of commerce. Earned more than 100,000 gold coins."
"One hundred thousand gold coins?" Not only the surrounding elves exclaimed in unison, but even Elder Elushia couldn't help but slightly widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "You mean, Anis is helping your Chamber of Commerce. Did you earn so much gold coins?"
"That's not true." Xu Yi shook his head. "This new product involves the hard work of many people, not just Yanis alone. But in my opinion, Yanis has played the biggest role. If we divide the 100,000 gold coins, , the value generated by Anis is at least more than 20,000 gold coins."
Hearing that Xu Yi rated himself so highly. Yanis couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and looked at Xu Yi with a smile.
"Twenty thousand gold coins..." Elder Elushia nodded lightly: "Human, although I don't like your way of directly measuring value with gold coins, I admit that this description is easy to understand. She has a very strong value, and I would not agree to hand her over to you. You humans are very unfriendly to us elves. I don't think Anise can live safely in your human world."
Seeing the serious expression on Elder Elushia's face, Xu Yi could only sigh in his heart.
The estrangement between elves and humans is too deep, and the prejudice against humans is too deep. It is impossible to reverse these stubborn elves' perceptions of humans in a short period of time.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi gave up the topic and smiled again. Pointing to the box that was carried over by another male elf, he said, "Okay, Elder Elushia, before we finish our work, talking about remuneration is a very boring thing, so let's first Let's see how we can help you."
Elder Elushia smiled and nodded: "It seems that you are a human who doesn't like to talk empty words. I like it very much. Come with me."
Elder Elushia leads the way. The group entered the gap between the two giant trees, and after taking a few steps, they saw a large pit suddenly appeared in a small open space in front of them.
"We tried to use groundwater, but when we dug to a depth of more than ten meters, we encountered a very thick rock layer. The rock was too hard. Even with my ability, I couldn't shake it, so I had to give up in the end." Elder Ya pointed to the big tunnel.
Xu Yi leaned closer to the edge of the pit and looked down, and found that even with the bright fluorescent light on the top of his head, he couldn't see what the bottom of the pit looked like at all.
"Elder Elushia, do you have a long enough rope? I want to go down and see the specific situation." Xu Yi said.
Steele suddenly pulled Xu Yi's sleeve and shook his head lightly at him.
Seeing her worried expression, Xu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, with so many noble elves around, I won't be in trouble."
Elder Elushia smiled slightly: "Humans, we don't need to use words to persecute us, we elves have our own principles." After that, he explained to a male elf, and the male elf left in a hurry, and he took it after a while. Here comes a long roll of rattan.
Xu Yi took one end of the rattan and pulled it hard, and found that the rattan was extremely tough, probably stronger than a nylon rope of the same thickness.
After tying one end around his waist, Xu Yi was ready to dive into the deep pit to see what happened.
Seeing that Xu Yi was about to climb down, Yanis suddenly rushed out.
"Elder, let me go down with him? If something happens, I can still save him."
Elder Elushia glanced at Anise in surprise, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright, we can't let human guests go on adventures alone."
Steele watched Anise tie herself and Xu Yi together with a strange expression, opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Vivian next to her said angrily, "If only I could be as athletic as Sister Yanis."
Steele glanced at her, thinking that I don't think so, but in addition to their racial talent, elf athletes have lived in this kind of forest since they were children, and they have been trained little by little. up to it.
The two could only helplessly watch Xu Yi and Yanis being hoisted into the deep pit together almost face to face.
Hearing that Yanis was going to go down with him, Xu Yi didn't have any special thoughts at first, but as the depth of his whereabouts deepened and the surroundings became darker, he could feel more and more various things around him. Variety.
Feeling that Anise's body was tightly pressed against her, and she could even feel the breath of Anise's nostrils unceasingly on her face, even if Xu Yi was a wooden man, she couldn't help it at this time. The heart beat faster.
In this dark environment, even the heartbeat seems to be clearly audible.
"President Xu, are you afraid?" Yanis asked suddenly.
It's okay if she didn't open her mouth, but when she opened her mouth, a breath rushed into her mouth.
Of course it wasn't bad breath. On the contrary, there was a special fragrance of grass and trees in this breath, which made Xu Yi feel shocked when he smelled it.
It's just that Xu Yi is even more embarrassed. Not only does his heartbeat speed up again, but even a certain part reacts involuntarily.
Fortunately, this deep pit is only ten meters deep, Xu Yi soon felt his feet touched the ground, and he felt at ease.
Anise stretched out a finger, and a little green light emanated from her finger, illuminating the environment at the bottom of the pit.
The pit dug by the elves is quite spacious, with a bottom of nearly ten square meters, so that there is a lot of room for manoeuvre after the two stand still.
With the light in Anise's hand, Xu Yi carefully inspected the surrounding situation, then squatted down and scraped off the soil on the ground with his hands, revealing the hidden rock formations below.
Xu Yi first touched it with his hand. Judging from his hand feeling, the rock in this rock formation should not be tight, and the rock quality is relatively loose, so he nodded in satisfaction.
This kind of rock layer, even if it is a little thick, doesn't matter, you can definitely drill through it with the tools you bring.
In fact, it stands to reason that a forest like the Forest of Falling Rain should not have such a rock layer at a depth of more than ten meters below, not to mention that there are such thick and tall giant trees on the surface where the elves live. The roots of these giant trees are enough to prevent ordinary rock layers from existing, so this situation is not in line with Xu Yi's common sense at all.
But thinking that this is not the earth in the first place, and common sense on earth cannot be fully applied, Xu Yi was relieved and did not think about this issue.
After the investigation, Xu Yi pulled hard on the rattan tied to his body, allowing the elves above the pit to pull himself and Anise up again.
Facing a look of expectation from the elves and Elder Elushia, Xu Yi nodded: "It should be fine."
The elves breathed a sigh of relief, and even Elder Elushia's face showed a hint of joy.
Xu Yi didn't care so much, and opened the box he was carrying, revealing a machine at the front of the box consisting of a huge drill bit as thick as his arm.
Xu Yi laboriously raised the machine in his hand and smiled at Elder Elushia: "Dear Elder, please allow me to introduce to you with the honor, this is what our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce specially made to solve the problems encountered by the noble tribe. The magic machine developed is called a small magic drill."
