Chapter 005: Green Shuttle
“If your entire family was in that noble’s house, your parents would surely not commit suicide in order to protect and raise you. But after I rescued you and decided to send you back to the elf tribe, your parents chose to end their own lives. Alas, they suffered too much humiliation at the hands of that noble! Even after returning to the elf lands, those experiences would remain a nightmare for them for the rest of their lives—living was worse than dying!” Buze sighed.
The elves not only have pure hearts but also place even greater emphasis on chastity than humans.
Naixiu’s parents survived only because of her. To protect their daughter, they endured humiliating lives. Once their daughter found a better fate, they had no desire to stay in this world filled with humiliation and pain!
“Naixiu, be strong! For your parents, this fate might actually be a form of liberation!” Du Fan said tenderly, stroking Naixiu’s hair.
“Mother, Father, why did you have to commit suicide? Don’t you know how much I’ve missed you all these years?” Naixiu whispered through tears.
“Naixiu, your parents are gone, but I’m still here. I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life,” Du Fan said firmly.
“Du Fan, will you accompany me to see my parents?” Naixiu suddenly stood up firmly and asked Du Fan.
“Sure,” Du Fan replied. Turning to Buze, he asked, “Buze, do you still know where Naixiu’s parents are buried?”
“Of course I do. Naixiu, I buried your parents within your tribe’s territory. I just never told you,” Buze said.
“Du Fan, may I return to the elf lands for a while?” Naixiu asked, looking at Du Fan.
“Okay. Let’s ask Rob to take us there,” Du Fan said.
“Let me take you there instead,” the woman who had been by their side spoke up.
“Rob is a god-tier expert. If he takes us to the elf lands, it will only take about six hours,” Du Fan said seriously.
“Hehe, Du Fan, Naixiu—forgive me for not introducing her before. This is my partner, Angelina. To be honest, Angelina is also a god-tier expert; it’s just that her name isn’t well-known on the continent,” Buze said with a smile.
“Du Fan, I know your friend is a mutated Dark Tiger with both Wind and Thunder attributes, skilled in speed,” Angelina said with a slight smile after hearing Bu Ze’s words. “But don’t worry, my speed is definitely faster than his.”
“Hehe, if that’s the case, Du Fan, let’s get ready to set off,” Bu Ze said with a smile.
“Du Fan, let’s hurry and follow Lord Bu Ze,” Nayi Xiu said eagerly, looking at Du Fan.
“Okay, I’ll go talk to them outside and make the arrangements, then we’ll set off,” Du Fan replied promptly upon hearing their words.
“Good, go and arrange it quickly,” Bu Ze said.
A flash of white light appeared in his hand, and instantly, the tent where the four of them were disappeared. They suddenly found themselves in front of Du Fan’s main camp.
Du Fan smiled at Bu Ze, Angelina, and Nayi Xiu before heading toward his own camp.
He left the task of guarding to Rob and the platoon leader, and entrusted overall coordination to Chenchen and Lingsound. Then, Du Fan returned to Bu Ze and the other two.
Seeing Du Fan return, Angelina flashed a green light in her hand. Immediately, Du Fan and Nayi Xiu felt surrounded by green light.
“Go!” Angelina commanded in a low voice. With that command, Du Fan felt himself being propelled forward, flying swiftly toward the south.
“How fast! What is this? Why such incredible speed?” Du Fan exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s a divine artifact I created, specifically for traveling fast,” Angelina said with a smile. “Since it’s green in color, I call it Green Shuttle.”
“How fast can Green Shuttle go?” Du Fan asked quickly.
“One hour. If powered by divine energy, it can cover a hundred thousand miles in an hour,” Angelina replied with a smile.
“Does it have to be powered by divine energy?” Du Fan asked.
“Of course. If driven by your domain energy, it can cover about thirty thousand miles in an hour,” Angelina said with a smile. “What, are you interested in my Green Shuttle?” Seeing Du Fan’s eyes gleaming slightly, Angelina asked directly.
“Hehe, can you sell it to me??” Du Fan asked with a smile.
Suddenly, Du Fan felt a sense of disappointment.
Since it was crafted by Angelina, it must be an extraordinary divine artifact. Would Angelina sell such an artifact?
“Haha, Du Fan, money means nothing to me. If you have something impressive, I’d be willing to exchange it with you. After all, I can reach this speed even on my own, but flying inside this is much more comfortable,” said Angelina with a smile.
“Is this okay?” After thinking for a moment, Du Fan took out the Thunder Sword—a divine artifact even better than Frostfall Snow.
“Hmm, it’s a pretty good divine artifact, but it still can’t tempt me,” Angelina said with a smile.
Du Fan had many valuable items, but in the eyes of humans, they were indeed fine, yet in the eyes of a god, they were like trash. After some thought, Du Fan took out a large amount of Water from the Spring of Life.
“Hmm, Water from the Spring of Life of the elves. It’s not bad, but I can just ask Buzhe to get it from Saito. There’s no need to exchange it with my Green Shuttle,” Angelina said again with a smile after looking at the Water from the Spring of Life in Du Fan’s hand.
Inspired, Du Fan took out a Flame Demon Stone.
“Hmm, not bad. This is a good item. Too bad, it’s too little. If there were more, I’d exchange it with you,” Angelina said, smiling as usual.
After some more thought, Du Fan took out another pile—about one-third as many Flame Demon Stones as he had before.
“Hmm, this is starting to tempt me. But Du Fan, it seems like you killed a Flame Demon. Does one Flame Demon only produce this much Stone?” Angelina asked.
Under Angelina’s persistent pressure, there were hardly any Flame Demon Stones left in Du Fan’s ring.
“Alright, Angelina. Items like Flame Demon Stones are hard to come by. And these, produced by a Flame Demon nearly at the divine level, are even rarer. Leave some for little brother Du Fan,” Buzhe said with a smile from the side.
“Ah, since your brother Buzhe says so, I’ll exchange it with you then.” Hearing Buzhe’s words, Angelina quickly collected all the Flame Demon Stones. With a flick of her wrist, a small green shuttle-shaped object appeared in her hand.
Seeing the Green Shuttle in Angelina’s hand, Du Fan was stunned. He had always thought Angelina only had the one she was currently riding. Who would have thought she could easily produce another one!
“Take it! It’s real—I guarantee it can fly 30,000 li in an hour,” said Angelina with a smile.
Later, when Du Fan learned that the flying shuttle was just an ordinary flying tool and remembered the large amount of Flame Demon Stones he had been blackmailed into giving away by Angelina, his heart ached!
Although the raw materials for making the flying shuttle were expensive, they were insignificant compared to creatures like Flame Demons, which were born from the elemental energies of fire and earth in the world.
The most crucial part of making the flying shuttle was actually the flying magic array! As for creatures like Flame Demons, the Flame Demon Stones they produced after death were top-tier materials even in the divine realm! Such creatures were extremely rare—only one might appear every few thousand years. The Flame Demon Stones contained the purest, most primal forms of fire and earth energies!
“Keep it well. When you need to use it, just infuse energy into it. At your level, this Green Shuttle can transform into a space large enough to hold about twenty square units, easily accommodating dozens of people. Haha, it requires very little energy to fly. With your cultivation level, the energy consumed by the shuttle is probably less than the speed at which you recover. So, it’s a completely energy-free transportation tool! Du Fan, look at yourself—you’ve gotten a great deal, right?” Angelina said with a smile.
Hearing Angelina’s cheerful laughter, Bu Ze shook his head slightly and smiled without saying anything.
Du Fan naturally noticed Bu Ze’s action and felt something was off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what.
For Du Fan at this point, exchanging what seemed like useless stones for such a divine artifact was still very worthwhile.
He reached out and took the Green Shuttle, pouring his consciousness into it. Immediately, he understood how to use it and its various functions.
Indeed, with his current cultivation level, he could fly 30,000 li in an hour using this Green Shuttle.
“Not bad, not bad,” Du Fan said, holding the Green Shuttle with a gleam in his eyes. However, he also noticed another problem: only those with cultivation levels comparable to domain masters, possessing even a hint of divine energy, could activate such a divine artifact. Those at the Saint level couldn’t use it.
“Bu Ze, I’ll just call you Brother Bu Ze then,” Du Fan said with a smile. “What’s your current cultivation level?”
“Me? A few years ago, I accidentally became a god too,” Bu Ze replied with a smile.
“Another god!” Hearing that Buze was also a god-tier expert, Du Fan broke into a cold sweat.
“Haha. Young brother Du Fan, don’t be so nervous. In fact, the number of experts on this continent isn’t as scarce as you think. There are actually many experts here,” Buze said with a frown.
It seemed Buze had encountered quite a few god-tier experts.
As they were talking, Qing Suo stopped flying.
“Buze, take a look. Is it this place?” Angelina asked.
Hearing this, Buze stood up.
“It’s under that big tree ahead. We can stop right there,” Buze said, pointing in the left-front direction through the green light.
Du Fan also followed Buze’s gesture to look outside, but by then it was already dark, and everything was hazy. Du Fan couldn’t see any big trees at all!
At this moment, Du Fan couldn’t help but admire the elves’ sharp eyesight—being able to see a tree more than two miles away in such darkness!
