In the following days, Mu Xiaochuan and his companions lingered on the outskirts of the elven city, Heart of Emerald, leisurely enjoying the rare moments of peace. During this time, they also took the initiative to help clear out some powerful demonic beasts around the city and even rescued a few elven hunters who had strayed into danger.

Initially, the elves remained wary and somewhat suspicious of their actions. However, as Mu Xiaochuan and his group demonstrated their formidable strength and selfless assistance, the elves' attitude gradually softened. They began sending some of their people to engage in simple exchanges with Mu Xiaochuan and his companions, offering forest specialties as tokens of gratitude.

During this process, Mu Xiaochuan discovered that the elven race seemed to be facing some troubles. The demonic beasts outside the city were becoming increasingly powerful and aggressive, and there was a subtle sense of unease within the city itself.

"It seems there's something wrong with their city," Xiao Qingwan also noticed the anomaly.
