These huge soul beasts used for riding were very docile. Everyone had ridden in soul guide cars many times, but this was the first time to ride a soul beast.
There are no roads on the Elf Star at all, so soul-guided cars obviously won't work here, but soul beasts can traverse them as if it were flat ground.
The surrounding area is full of towering trees, and the area is almost completely covered in green from bottom to top. The air is full of the fragrance of plants and the temperature is just right. There are often winding streams flowing by the trees, and the clear stream water brings moist air, making the place comfortable and warm.
"This place is really like a paradise! It's so beautiful." Lan Xuanyu exclaimed sincerely. He really liked this world with a strong breath of life.
He felt that if he practiced here, he would not be much inferior to his home planet.
Xiao Qi said: "It is precisely because of the beautiful environment here that the Federation did not have the heart to destroy it. The elves love peace, so they can solve the cooperation problem peacefully. The reason why soul beasts moved in is because they also love this kind of environment. It is not for us humans to enter. When humans come, they must develop it, and development will cause destruction. Therefore, I think keeping the original ecology of the Elf Star has always been one of the wisest choices made by the Federation."
Lan Xuanyu asked curiously: "Teacher, can the elves and soul beasts coexist peacefully? After all, soul beasts are foreign."
Xiao Qi said: "It is naturally difficult to coexist peacefully. But after all, there is the overall constraint of the Federation. The Federation has a dedicated person here. Once there is friction between the two sides, the Federation will participate in arbitration to determine the responsibility. But relatively speaking, it is still mainly based on the autonomy of both parties, each with its own area, and clearly divided and non-aggression."
At this point, Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "In fact, planets like the Elf Star are the most coveted in the universe. They always choose a force to rely on. In fact, we were not the only ones who had their eyes on them. We accepted them and also assumed the responsibility of protecting the Elf Star."
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. "The responsibility to protect them? Is there an enemy on the Elf Star? From the universe?"
Xiao Qi smiled calmly, "The universe is vast and boundless, and there are naturally more places with life forms. The Federation just doesn't publicize this to avoid ordinary people from being too concerned. In fact, interstellar colonization is not that simple. There are collisions with indigenous peoples and with some forces in the universe. Why does the evil planet exist? If it was just an individual, it would have been wiped out by the Federation long ago. In fact, it is because they have the support of forces behind them that they can continue to exist, just to contain us."
Lan Xuanyu was completely shocked. In his understanding, there was only the Federation, but he had no idea that there were enemies outside the Federation. And it sounded like they were quite powerful enemies.
"Where do these enemies come from, teacher?" Lan Xuanyu asked.
Xiao Qi said: "This is complicated to explain. You are still young, so you don't need to know too much. But with your performance, further study in the future will definitely not be a problem. When you reach the fourth grade, you will start to face these things. The college will give you a systematic explanation at that time."
Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a little nervous. It turned out that the Federation was not as peaceful as it seemed!
Xiao Qi sighed softly, "The space fleet and the Federation's strong men have always been protecting us, but this is only for external purposes. I don't know how many heroes have been born because of this. But for the sake of stability within the Federation, it cannot be publicized. Therefore, most people only know that we live in a peaceful and prosperous environment, but they don't know that the Federation has been protecting everything for us during the process of interstellar colonization."
Lan Xuanyu asked: "Then in the universe, is our Federation considered powerful?"
Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know. The universe is too vast. Who dares to say who is the strongest in the universe? But at least so far, we have not encountered a strong enough enemy to pose a threat. But as the Federation continues to colonize the stars and becomes stronger, it is difficult to judge what the future will be like. But based on our current understanding of the universe, there will definitely be powerful forces in the universe that are not inferior to ours. Once the time comes when we have to collide with them, a large-scale war will probably be inevitable."
Lan Xuanyu subconsciously clenched his fists. He originally thought that even if he graduated from the Interstellar Command Department, he would at most be able to fly a spaceship. He never expected that a war might actually break out!
After hearing what Xiao Qi said, he could understand better why Tang Zhenhua was so strict with him.
The large soul beast ran quickly through the jungle, and half an hour later, a relatively empty area appeared in front of them.
All kinds of soul beasts can be seen everywhere. After seeing humans, these soul beasts seem to have long been accustomed to it and completely ignored them. Most of them avoided them from a distance.
In front of us is a large lake with vast water. On the lakeside, tall trees rise from the ground, almost all of which are over 500 meters high. The huge treetops block out the sun, and most of the lake surface is covered under the shade of the trees.
The area next to these big trees is relatively open, with many wooden houses built there, which is the style of human habitation.
This is the reception area where soul beasts entertain humans. It is also one of the most core areas of the soul beast lineage.
The Earth Demon Rhino stopped first, and the Ten Thousand Demon King asked Wang Tianyu to get off his mount. In front of the wooden house, there were already many people waiting here. These were real humans, not transformed soul beasts.
Several humans with extraordinary bearing walked up to Wang Tianyu and talked to him. One of them had two general stars on his shoulders and was wearing a military uniform. He was obviously a member of the federal military.
Everyone from Shrek Academy got off their mounts. Xiao Qi said, "These are people from various parties, mainly from the Federation. There are also some representatives who came to participate in the celebration. Everyone, please go to your room and rest. Don't walk around or go out easily to avoid unnecessary trouble. If you encounter a soul beast, be as friendly as possible to avoid causing conflict. Do you understand?"
After all, first-grade students are young, and he is also worried that these children will have conflicts with soul beasts out of curiosity, which would not be good.
There is no need to worry about the inner courtyard disciples. Almost all those who can enter the inner courtyard have been to the Elf Star and must be very familiar with this place.
Wang Tianyu followed the King of Ten Thousand Monsters and the others and left. They were probably treated to a banquet. There were nearly fifty people from Shrek Academy who came this time, most of them were freshmen. They were quickly arranged to live in those wooden houses.
Two people in one room. Lan Xuanyu naturally lived in a room with Liu Feng. Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu were supposed to be in one room, but Lan Xuanyu was a little worried about Tang Yuge, so he asked the human staff here to arrange a triple room for them so that the three girls could live together. Tang Yuge was moved by his thoughtful gesture. Since she came to the first grade, she has always been able to feel the care from her partners, especially Lan Xuanyu, who has always paid close attention to her emotional changes. This was definitely not the case in the third grade before. At that time, she was also focused on winning. Now, she doesn't need to be the class monitor anymore, nor does she have to do anything more. It's enough to just do her best. She likes this feeling more and more.
The room is not big, but it has everything. There is a dedicated toilet and shower room, and the bedroom has two beds. When you open the window, you can see green everywhere.
Lan Xuanyu liked the air here so much that he opened the window as soon as he entered the room.
