Ye Chen and the elves wandered outside the valley for three days and three nights.



After finding no traces of humans, they returned to the Holy Land.



Elven Queen Aria rewarded Finn and the twenty-four archers.



A few high-level elves of the Shadow Elf race once again gathered in the huge tree meeting hall in the center of the Holy Land.



Ye Chen was lying on the table in front of the Queen, listening to the discussion about the human invasion.



“I think that the humans have already been pushed back by us this time. So, they should not dare to come after us in the near future.”



The beautiful elf, Bernice, who was in charge of farming, said with a happy look on her face.



Finn also nodded and agreed.



“I think so too. Last time, I led all the archers and killed that slave-catching group of more than a hundred people.”



“In decades, not a single slave-catching group dared to step into the Shadow Forest!”



Wendy, the leader of the Whisperers, who was sitting on the right side of the Elven Queen, stroked her golden hair and said in a low voice with a frown.



“I don’t think it’s that simple. There are too many knights coming this time. It’s definitely not an ordinary slave-catching group.”



Seeing everyone fall silent once again.



Queen Aria looked at the leader of the guards, Tess, who had been silent the whole time.



“Grandma Tess, you are the oldest here, and you have the most experience. Why do you think the humans have come to scout the location of the Holy Land on such a large scale?”



“The leader of the eagle nest territory outside… does he really want to fight us? It is just a small territory. He should not be able to fight us, right?”



Ye Chen also looked at the female elf named Tess.



Even with her long life expectancy, she was already a very old elf.



She was also one of the most powerful elves in the whole Shadow Forest right now, second only to Queen Aria.



However, her appearance was still around forty years old.



And on her body, there was a sense of maturity that the other female elves did not have.



The only thing that could tell her actual age was probably the pure white hair that was tied behind her head.



The steady Tess pondered for a moment before she softly replied, “Aria, since the Lord of eagle nest territory has sent so many knights to investigate, I’m afraid that he has the confidence to take down our tribe’s Holy Land.”



“You must know that among humans, there are not only knights who are proficient in various elements, but also warriors with strong physical bodies, mages who use powerful magic, and so on.”



“If he really can mobilize all of the battle power in the eagle nest territory, then our Holy Land would have a hard time resisting his efforts.”



Hearing Elder Tess say that…



All of the higher-ups in the meeting room fell silent.



The Elven Queen frowned as she poked the scales on Ye Chen’s buttocks with her finger.



She asked, “Little Zi, what do you think?”



Ye Chen quickly moved his buttocks away, trying to stop her from taking advantage of him.



Seeing all the high-ranking elven officials in the meeting hall looking at him curiously, Ye Chen did not say anything.



He did not express his dissatisfaction with the name ‘Little Zi’ either.



Instead, he said directly, “What else can I do? Let’s get ready to fight!”



Ye Chen had devoured so many human beings in the past few days.



Although he was still far from reaching the perfect balance between the human genes and the lizard genes in his body, it would be enough for him to just focus on changing his vocal cords.



Therefore, Ye Chen’s voice was no different from his previous life.



“Oh? How are you sure that the eagle nest territory will attack us?”



“We have already scared them off. They should not come back in a couple of decades, right?”



“They did not even know where our Holy Land was before they ran away. I think they have already given up.”



As soon as Ye Chen said that…



He was met with a series of questions.



Ye Chen did not bother to explain them one by one. Instead, he climbed to the side of the Divine Priest Eudora.



He stretched out his little claw and said, “Give me some water.”



Eudora was slightly surprised, but she still spread out her hands to cover Ye Chen’s little claw and started to chant in a low voice.



Soon, Ye Chen’s right claw was covered by a small water ball.



In the end, Eudora even thoughtfully asked, “Do you have enough to drink?”



She thought Ye Chen was thirsty…



Ye Chen rolled his eyes at her in a human-like manner.



Then, he crawled to the center of the conference table and began drawing.



He first drew a circle, pointed at that circle, and said, “This is the valley we’re in.”



“It’s our Holy Land!” Queen Aria corrected with a pout.



“Ok, ok, this circle is our Holy Land.”



Then he drew a dozen vertical lines next to the circle.



Seeing that, the high elves have stood up to look over.



Ye Chen then explained, “If I were the leader of the human search team, I would have probably located the valley… er, the Holy Land.”



“Well, I’ll send a dozen teams in this direction at the same time.”



Then he forked out six of the vertical lines closest to the circle.



“I sent out more than a dozen teams, six of which never returned,” he continued.



“So, do you think I know where the Holy Land is now?”



Ye Chen had finished drawing the circle that represents the Holy Land.



All the high elves knew what he meant.



Queen Aria sighed lightly, “So, the human search team left on their own accord because they already knew the location of our Holy Land?”



Ye Chen spread out his two front claws and nodded, “That should be it.”



Everyone knew that if the location of the Holy Land was exposed, then their biggest trump card would be gone!



Just when everyone was at a loss…



The leader of the guards, Tess, was looking at the lizard Ye Chen who was lying in the middle of the table with a curious expression.



Ye Chen sensed her gaze, and a human-like expression appeared in his light gold eyes.



Tess smiled at Ye Chen in a friendly manner.



She said softly, “Lord Saint Beast, you are definitely the smartest Saint Beast I have ever seen in the past one thousand years!”



Hearing what Tess said, the other higher-ups of the elves also realized what was going on.



There was nothing they could do about it. Ye Chen had acted too naturally just now.



For a moment, they had forgotten that Ye Chen was just a beast.



It was not that they had not seen the Saint Beasts in their race before, including the Saint Beasts from other races. They had seen them quite a few times as well.



The Saint Beast was actually just a normal beast.



But, the Beast was still a beast after all. Being able to talk to people and understand what they were talking about was already their limit.



They had never seen a beast like Ye Chen who was so confident and analytical!



Only the Elven Queen had seen it when they were talking on the bed that night.



Although it was very weak, it was still extremely smart.



Now that she thought about it, she remembered that when she was chatting with him that night, he seemed to have accidentally found out a lot of secrets…



Thinking about that, the Elven Queen was very depressed.



She grabbed Ye Chen’s tail and dragged him to her side.



Then, she reached out her finger and poked at the scale armor on his ‘buttocks’ as she asked angrily, “Since you are so smart, what do you think we should do now?”



“If you can’t tell me, I’ll put you in the kennel tonight….”
