Vinoya has been taken by the Dark Elves.
Upon hearing this news, Alan froze in place, his face suddenly turning pale.
"Kid, do you know Vinoya?" Qin Tian noticed Alan's expression and immediately asked in a deep voice.
"I know her."
Alan's voice carried a slight tremble, "Vinoya is the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Qingyu Tribe, and she recently led a team to support the Silver Moon Tribe."
Qingyu Tribe
Qin Tian frowned. The Qingyu Tribe is a large tribe second only to the Silver Moon Tribe. They not only bear the pressure of resisting the second battle group of the Dark Elves but also send people to support the Royal Family.
"Alan, Vinoya only just went missing, she might not have been taken into the Dark Forest yet; we still have a chance." Qin Tian said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Alan seemed to grab onto a lifeline, hurriedly grabbing Qin Tian's hand and anxiously saying:
"Qin Tian, please, you must find Vinoya; she must not be taken away by the Dark Elves."
Over the past few days of spending time together, he realized that Qin Tian is undoubtedly a master in finding people and tracking, and anyone who leaves even the slightest trace, no matter where they flee, will ultimately be found by Qin Tian.
"Hmm, I'll definitely do my best."
Qin Tian patted Alan's shoulder, helping him calm down quickly.
He then sent a message to the Elf Captain, requesting the first location where Vinoya went missing.
The Elf Captain didn't delay and immediately sent the location.
Soon, Qin Tian and Alan arrived at the scene.
The smells at the scene were numerous and mixed, like a tangled ball of yarn, making it hard to differentiate.
However, Qin Tian focused on the key point; since Vinoya was taken, it meant her scent would be left along the way.
Qin Tian sniffed carefully and ultimately found the scent that best matched.
The scent extended from underfoot towards the depths of the forest, and Qin Tian immediately led Alan to chase after it at top speed.
Rustling
The shadows of the trees swayed.
Qin Tian concentrated on locking onto the scent, while Alan followed closely behind him, his face full of tension.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Along the way, Qin Tian saw many Dark Elves fighting with humans or elves, and whenever he encountered such a scene, he'd casually fire a shot, indifferent to whether others appreciated it or blamed him for stealing their thunder.
As they moved further from the frontline, a decaying, dark aura wafted from afar.
Squeak
Qin Tian suddenly stopped, looking at the clearly marked boundary not far away, he shook his head and said:
"We're a step too late; Vinoya has been taken into the Dark Forest."
Upon hearing this, Alan's face turned even paler.
To elves, the Dark Forest is forbidden; even stepping half into it risks having their soul corrupted by the Evil God.
Anyone taken into the Dark Forest is rarely rescued by elves due to the high likelihood of causing more severe losses.
What to do?
How can Vinoya be saved?
Alan's mind was a chaotic mess. In truth, he not only knew Vinoya but had a particularly special relationship with her.
"Haha, caught another elf, we can enjoy ourselves tonight."
"Exactly, I haven't touched an elf in half a month, always having to settle with humans, but humans aren't as good as elves."
"I'll request permission from the Battle Group Commander tonight; maybe we can enjoy her together."
"Hehehe~"
At that moment, leering laughter came from behind.
Alan shivered and looked back.
He saw three Dark Elves walking together, one dark elf dragging an unconscious elf maiden.
Earlier, they seemed unaware of Qin Tian and Alan, but upon spotting the two figures not far away, the Dark Elves quickly became alert, evil energy slowly surging in their hands holding weapons.
Alan didn't know the elf maiden, yet seeing her frost-like hair being dragged casually by the Dark Elves, he seemed to see the situation of Vinoya in the Dark Forest, and his eyes turned red.
"There are humans, be careful!"
The Dark Elves whispered a warning.
"Leave them to me."
Qin Tian flicked his gun lightly.
Bang!
One dark elf died from a headshot.
"It's him, that human archer!!!"
The other two dark elves clearly recognized Qin Tian, their expressions changed drastically, and a deep fear appeared in their eyes.
Recently, within the Dark Elves, a certain name was exceptionally prominent.
He was a human reinforcement invited by the elves, wielding a very special weapon— a sniper rifle only humans could create, with immense power. So far, many dark elves and Black Beasts have died by his hand.
The loss of Tier Four experts was countless.
Since he arrived, many Dark Elves developed battle fear, dreading encountering this Death God of a man.
And now, the Death God was before them.
"Run!"
One elf shouted and started to flee.
But before he got far, a spinning bullet entered the back of his head, blowing off the entire head.
Bang!
Another shot, taking down the last Dark Elf; the elf maiden was now safe.
Looking at the injured, unconscious elf maiden curled up on the ground, Alan gritted his teeth with his jaw nearly grinding them to dust.
No time left.
It's just about breaking hope.
Alan grabbed Qin Tian's arm, his eyes filled with pleading:
"Qin Tian, I beg you, can you go with me into the Dark Forest and bring Vinoya back."
"I know it's dangerous and you're not obligated to save her, but I really can't watch Vinoya being taken."
"If you help me bring Vinoya back, I promise that afterward, I'll let you enter Silver Moon Lake and remove the Curse of the Evil God on you."
Seeing those eyes filled with urgency and despair, Qin Tian felt moved, slowly raised his hand, and ruffled Alan's soft hair, smiling lightly:
"Kid, you've offered me an irresistible deal, alright, I'll take this job."
For someone who viewed the Dark Forest as a forbidden place and a place of death since childhood, Alan was able to overcome his fear to save someone important to him, willingly charging into the Dark Forest.
This bloodthirsty courage filled Qin Tian with admiration.
Of course, mere guts won't be enough for rescue; they'll need wisdom, strength, and crucial luck.
Danger certainly exists, but Qin Tian is confident in succeeding.
"Qin Tian, do you mean you've agreed!"
Alan tightly grasped Qin Tian's hand, as if holding onto the most secure reliance.
"Of course, after all, rescuing Vinoya will also solve my problems."
Qin Tian said flatly: "But kid, if I succeed in rescuing her and you break your promise, you'll be doomed."
Upon hearing this, Alan raised his fingers to the sky and vowed resolutely:
"I swear by my family, if I break my word, I must then..."
"Alright, alright."
Qin Tian tapped his forehead, "You talk too much, follow me, let's go!"
With that, he waved a hand, opening the Black Gate. In Alan's shocked gaze, he threw the unconscious elf maiden inside, then strode towards the Dark Forest.
