A voice came from not far away, and Hiccup and Night Fury looked over curiously.
On the tree trunk that had just been cut down, two palm-sized elves were jumping around, wearing green leaves as their outer garments, with brownish-yellow long hair, emerald-green eyes, and holding toothpick-like spears.
The only difference was that the spears in their hands were glowing with a faint green light, indicating that they had magical effects.
Night Fury's vertical pupils stared at the two small elves, opening his flat, wide mouth, and his fangs flashed out.
"Roar~"
Night Fury's low growl scared the two small elves into hiding.
Afterward, Hiccup saw two toothpicks emitting green light, arcing in a parabolic curve in mid-air, accurately hitting Night Fury.
Night Fury seemed like a cat suddenly slapped on the head; he twitched, then shook his head, looking curiously at the toothpicks on the ground.
"Hee~~~hee~~~"
Hiccup looked back at the two small elves, truly not understanding what they were doing with those sounds that couldn't be distinguished as crying or laughing.
He casually picked up the glowing toothpicks from the ground.
"Hmm~?"
The two small elves made gestures as if to recall their spears from a distance, but no matter how the spears in Hiccup's hand shook, they could not break free.
There was even a fine, almost imperceptible thread connecting the small elves and the spears.
Hiccup applied a little force, and the two small elves were pulled forward together, their dark green little shoes with leaf patterns twisting intensely.
The two small elves' originally pale yellow cheeks began to turn green from being held, indicating that their blood was also green.
"Oh, Forest Goddess, please heed the call of your servants, let thorns bloom, entwine the villain before it, let shrubs grow alongside the villain, and blossom new life."
Although Hiccup heard them chanting a spell, he didn't understand what they were saying.
He curiously watched as the two toothpick-like spears in his hand suddenly grew tiny, dense thorns.
Hiccup was not on guard because every time he acquired new magic, he had to be hit by the magic to obtain it.
The Hellfire at the beginning was obtained from the flames of Red Death, and later, when Bewitching Dragon King Alpha froze him, he gained ice magic.
His transmigration was like a blank memory card waiting to be downloaded, waiting for the injection of new world magic.
In a blink of an eye, the two toothpick-like spears' green light began to become dazzling, and the tiny, dense thorns turned into tendrils, burrowing into Hiccup's flesh.
Hiccup only felt a little itch; the ice crystals in his blood inhibited the tendrils' penetration, and the Hellfire enveloping his heart watched these tendrils vigilantly.
If Hiccup hadn't intentionally controlled it, the moment these tendrils broke through his skin, Hellfire would instantly surge forth, burning these tendrils to ash.
"Life magic, capable of instantly germinating seeds, based on the ability of plants to pierce through rocks. This magic is good. Although it can't save lives like nature magic, it's very useful for plants."
The two small elves looked at Hiccup, who was entangled into a ball by the tendrils, their expressions still serious.
Even though the tendrils on Hiccup's head had already bloomed, signifying that Hiccup would be forever fixed on this land, there was still a Night Fury beside him.
Night Fury had gone through many life-and-death battles; even when lying still, an invisible Dragon King aura would emanate from him.
In the eyes of the two small elves, the only thing they could do was to kill the Dragon Knight and delay the Dragon before their tribe's support arrived, even sacrificing their own lives, just to protect the forest behind them.
"Roar~!"
Night Fury let out an angry roar, carefully spitting out a fireball, attempting to help Hiccup clear the tendrils from his body.
"Bang~"
The moment the deep blue fireball touched the tendrils, it instantly burst apart, not even knocking off a single petal. The splashing fireballs even ignited the surrounding grass.
Night Fury paced anxiously, raising his neck, preparing to increase the fireball's power.
The two small elves continuously waved their hands to extinguish the fire, and seeing that Night Fury was about to release an even larger fireball, they quickly jumped over to stop him.
Night Fury's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly squatted up, his two short and stout front claws directly grabbing the two small elves.
"Quick, release him!"
The two small elves were slightly stunned; they clearly had only a superficial understanding of Dragon Language, but they could understand what Night Fury meant.
"Absolutely impossible!"
"The honor of a Forest Guardian is to sacrifice oneself for the forest."
Night Fury was also baffled, not knowing what they were saying at all.
"Roar~!"
The deep blue fireball in Night Fury's mouth was continuously expanding, and the scorching temperature made the two small elves instinctively raise their hands to shield their eyes.
But it still couldn't prevent the cracks appearing on their skin.
"Swish, swish, swish~!"
A series of faint whooshing sounds rang out, and toothpick-like spears, each emitting a faint green light, were thrown at Night Fury like raindrops.
This time, the small elves who came were undoubtedly of a higher level than these two guardians.
All the thrown spears pierced Night Fury's scales, sticking into them, making Night Fury look like a hedgehog.
At the same time, Night Fury felt his scales tingling, and the fireball in his mouth was continuously shrinking, even starting to lose control.
"Roar~!"
Night Fury realized something was wrong and quickly spat the fireball at the group of small elves in front of him.
Then he guarded Hiccup, his front claws still holding the two dying small elves.
The two sides remained in a stalemate; Night Fury's large, emerald-like eyes were bloodshot, clearly, these spears had a certain numbing effect.
The Elf Chieftain on the elves' side was also surprised.
"Our Thorns of Spear didn't completely pierce Night Fury's scales, and it didn't even poison him unconscious."
The small elves who came to support were also dressed in green leaves, with light yellow hair and emerald green eyes; unlike the guardians, they had two pairs of crystal-clear wings on their backs.
Night Fury, seeing the large number of people, was naturally not foolish.
The Dragon Knight Legion had not withdrawn long ago, and this place was not far from the manor.
"Roar~~~!"
Night Fury let out a long Dragon Roar.
This roar pierced the clouds, and the birds and beasts in the forest scattered.
The small elves in mid-air felt the Dragon King's roar and trembled all over; if it weren't for their Chieftain in front, they would have probably already started avoiding Night Fury's sharp edge.
The Elf Chieftain also saw Hiccup behind Night Fury.
"We can save your Dragon Knight, but you must first release our kin."
The Elf Chieftain spoke in human language, which Night Fury could understand, and being by Hiccup's side, he naturally knew how to say a few simple words.
"No!"
The Elf Chieftain continued, "If you cannot release our kin now, then your Knight will die completely."
At this moment, a series of Dragon Roars came from the sky, the roars approaching from a distance, and massive figures appeared in the elves' line of sight.
