Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 170 - 165: Submission... or Death!

Chapter 170: Chapter 165: Submission… or Death!

“Hidden BOSS mission! This is a hidden BOSS mission!”

“The mount system! Is the mount system finally going to be activated?!”

“Calm down… that’s the reward for winning.”

“This Spider Empress… was it provoked by Hu Lu and the others? A living sacrifice? Could it be that Hu Lu and the others sacrificed the Earth Cave Spider?”

“Holy crap! That’s really possible! This spider’s shell is metallic, the sacrifice system would surely devour it! Why didn’t I think of that?”

“Hahaha! That’s why they’re being chased? Look! There are thousands of spiders chasing them! I’m dying of laughter, it’s the first time I’ve seen Big Boss Hu Lu run away so pathetically.”

“So… did the officials patch up the loophole in the living sacrifice system?”

“They definitely have to patch it up! Otherwise, if we just sacrifice every time we encounter a BOSS, what’s the point of this game?”

“No living sacrifices… so what if we encounter an undead BOSS or something else in the future, can we still sacrifice?”

“Pfft… you’re really something! But the array doesn’t swallow everything, does it?”

“Whoa! I wonder if we can still sell scrap…”

“Scrap should still be sellable, right? That seems to be the official recycling mechanism, otherwise they would have patched it a long time ago. I guess it’s mostly left as a benefit for players?”

Seeing the new mission prompt, players instantly didn’t panic anymore, discussing excitedly while avoiding the spider’s attacks…

Hidden BOSS mission!

And with a successful completion, players are rewarded with the mount system!

A mount! Is the mount going online?!

All players exploring Rivendell were ecstatic.

As for what the mount would be…

They pretty much figured it out.

It’s likely going to be the Earth Cave Spider!

A small Earth Cave Spider is fine, but honestly, a human-sized Earth Cave Spider still looks quite imposing.

Of course, that’s from a player’s perspective.

If the ordinary native creatures of Segis World saw it, it wouldn’t be imposing but horrifying.

However, when the system gave its evaluation of the spider BOSS’s strength, it still startled the players.

Level 100! Upper Gold!

Previously, when Uller’s Divine Power incarnation descended, and Demigod Walker took action, the system didn’t give a level evaluation for the BOSS.

The former’s strength was limited, its health bar was visible, and in battle, its health dropped, so players weren’t afraid.

As for the latter, it didn’t have a health bar indicated either but didn’t engage the players directly, instead being directly taken away by the Goddess’s binding play.

In such circumstances, although players knew they were definitely strong, possibly even stronger than the Spider Empress, they didn’t have an intuitive sense of level difference…

But this time… they truly experienced the terror of a higher-echelon existence directly.

This enormous Earth Cave Spider was like a Godzilla Giant Monster with a group of minions, rampaging forward, crushing unfortunate souls underfoot or stringing them together…

After receiving the system task, some brave players turned to attack it, but it was to no effect, like scratching an itch for the opponent.

Instead, these attacks further enraged the Spider Empress, and the players who attempted to fight it immediately attracted its attention, being chased and skewered like candied haws…

After the players died, the Spider Empress’s slender, spider legs were left with a string of humanoid equipment.

But Hu Lu and the elf warrior took the chance to escape further away…

Realizing it lost its target, the Spider Empress let out an angry, sharp screech again.

All the Earth Cave Spiders instantly became intensely frenzied, launching fierce attacks on players scattered throughout Rivendell.

“Berserk! This hidden BOSS has gone berserk!”

“This is too fierce! Soon the entire Rivendell will be turned upside down.”

“We can’t defeat it, quickly summon the goddess’s incarnation according to the task prompt!”

“Crap! But do you know how to summon her? Who knows how to summon her?”

“Find El! The little lad is the Divine Favored of the Goddess! He can summon her!”

Soon, players thought of the Divine Favored elf NPC—El Moonlight.

El Moonlight could summon the incarnation of the Goddess!

“Quick! Quick! Does anyone know where El is?”

“He should be in Feilengcui, we can have Dema go call him, Dema has the highest favorability with him, reportedly over sixty points!”

“Pfft, I remember Dema bragging it was a hundred points before?”

“Did it drop? That guy always seeks trouble… By the way, where’s Dema?”

“Also in Feilengcui. I saw him when I went to find Forging Master Carlos, heard he’s been working there regularly to gain favor lately.”

“Pfft… constantly grinding favor, that guy is so pitiful…”

“Quick, contact Dema!”

The players acted quickly.

After receiving the system task, they burst with unprecedented enthusiasm, and soon someone reached Dema through the friend chat list.

The hidden mission trigger only displayed detailed information directly to players within a certain range; players elsewhere could only see a brief “So-and-so triggered a hidden BOSS mission” quick prompt.

Of course, if one opened the detailed content of the message, one could still see specific information.

However, Dema, who was at Feilengcui scrubbing toilets for the elf NPCs, didn’t have the time for that.

He had already found a way to quickly increase his favorability.

As long as he kept his mouth shut and helped the elves with some dirty and tiring work, he could save some face.

But upon hearing the task’s content, Dema immediately perked up:

“Holy crap! The mount system?!”

He put down his tools, washed his hands, then excitedly rushed out:

“El! El! Something big happened in Rivendell! For the smooth recapture of the Elf Clan’s city, we need your help!”

…

By the time Dema and the little lad El arrived in Rivendell via the Teleportation Array, it was already half an hour later.

During this half hour, players were entangled with the Spider Empress and its army.

Whatever Hu Lu did, that giant spider was utterly furious, clearly intent on not stopping until it killed all the players.

In fact, almost all players were killed once, but they feared everyone perishing would cause the monster to disengage, resulting in a task failure, so they all rushed back through the Teleportation Array immediately after death…

Of course, their entanglement wasn’t attacking the opponent but running around the map, drawing its fire.

When El and Dema arrived, what they saw was this chaotic and comical scene.

One slender spider leg of the Spider Empress was already strung with equipment, and it switched to another leg to skewer elf haw…

Seeing that Divine Favored El had arrived, all the players became excited:

“It’s the little lad! He’s here!”

“Great! We can summon the incarnation of the Goddess now!”

“Finally, someone’s here! I’ve already been skewered twice.”

“Lord El! This Spider Empress is too powerful! At this rate, the entire ruins of Rivendell will be completely destroyed by it, please quickly summon the incarnation of the Goddess!”

“Yes! This is a level 100 big BOSS! Please summon the incarnation of the Goddess!”

The players shouted.

Spider Empress? Level 100?

That was just one step away from the legendary tier, Upper Gold!

The young elf drew a cold breath, his face serious.

El looked at the Chosen Ones scurrying to escape under the spider’s attack, then at Rivendell, further ravaged by the spider horde, and he nodded seriously:

“I understand… but waiting for the response from Her Majesty the Mother Goddess might take some time. Please hold on.”

Finished speaking, he kneeled down, drew a tree symbol on his chest, closed his eyes, and started to pray devoutly:

“Praise Mother Nature, praise the Life Goddess, praise the great elven dominator—Eve Yggdrasil! Your supreme majesty, Mother Goddess, your devout child—El Moonlight, requests your descent!”

With El’s prayer, his body suddenly began to radiate brilliant Holy Light, a gentle and sacred power continuously gathering around him…

Perceiving something, the Spider Empress chasing players in Rivendell stopped suddenly, growling softly, seemingly a bit anxious.

The endless army of Earth Cave Spiders also paused, gradually converging towards the Spider Empress, shielding their mother…

And at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly expanded from El, illuminating the deep gorge of Rivendell, ethereal sacred chants faintly echoing, sparking all players with a sudden urge to bow down…

At that moment, they became excited.

Because this meant the Goddess had received El’s prayer and was now focusing on this place!

“The Goddess is coming!”

“Hahaha! You’re done for, spider brats!”

With the illumination of the Holy Light, all the Earth Cave Spiders began to tremble, seemingly losing their sense of direction under the light, fleeing in terror…

The Spider Empress also let out a screech tinged with fear.

It turned its body, moving its eight slender spider legs awkwardly as it retreated towards the cave from which it had emerged…

“Whoa, is it really that cowardly? It’s trying to escape!”

“We can’t let it run!”

Seeing the Spider Insect Queen try to escape, the players exploded with rage.

But with their strength, they had no way to stop it.

However…

They didn’t need to stop it either…

“Hmph!”

All players heard a cold scoff echo in their minds.

The voice was crisp, majestic, divine, carrying an unapproachable and inviolable aura.

They recognized it. It was the voice of Eve, the Goddess!

Two golden Divine Locks suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wrapped tightly around the Spider Empress just as it was about to escape into the cave.

Then, the radiant light converged in front of it, finally forming a figure clad in the Holy Divine Dress, adorned with a crown of flowers and plants, wielding a magnificent scepter, her entire being enveloped in glistening Holy Light…

It was the Goddess!

Her visage was as peerlessly beautiful as always, further exuding a divine and inviolable majesty under the blur of the Holy Light.

All players widened their eyes, excitedly admiring the Goddess’s heroic posture:

“The incarnation of the Goddess has descended!”

“These effects are as glorious as ever!”

“Haha! We’re going to win!”

“As expected of the Goddess, even just an incarnation instantly controlled the BOSS!”

“Eve Goddess is the best!”

They cheered enthusiastically.

Under the illumination of the light, the Spider Empress huddled into a ball, trembling while letting out low growls of fear…

At this moment, the Goddess lightly raised her slender arm, placed her fair palm on the Spider Empress’s massive head:

“Submit… or die!”

Her majestic and divine voice was calm.

As if she were stating something natural, with no concern for the outcome.
