Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 165 - 160: Sacrifice BOSS
Chapter 165: Chapter 160: Sacrifice BOSS
Rivendell, the cave entrance to the Underworld.
Inside, it was dark and deep, unable to see the bottom.
Occasionally, rustling sounds could be heard, and pairs of lantern-like eyes glowing red could be seen in the deep darkness…
The Boxed Lunch team arrived near the cave and carefully peered into the Underworld through the entrance.
They couldn’t clearly see the deeper scenes, but they could see Earth Cave Spiders wandering around.
These spiders were tiny, only slightly larger than a washbasin.
But the players knew, behind these Earth Cave Spiders, there was a big one…
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
It was a terrifying giant Earth Cave Spider, which the players regarded as the gatekeeping boss!
That spider was unbelievably powerful, impervious to any attack.
And at the same time, it was extremely vigilant; whenever players attempted to sneak into the Underworld avoiding it, they were detected in advance and captured, becoming a feast for the elves.
After that, the players dared not venture further.
Some experts speculated that this might be a quest boss in the later stages of the game, not something players could handle now.
Players guessed that perhaps… there were other passages to the Underworld in Rivendell!
This was also why players quickly gave up the idea of entering the Underworld through the entrance and instead chose to explore Rivendell, seeking other possible entrances!
Even the Boxed Lunch team, besides exploring the mine veins, had another goal, which was to try and see if they could find another path to the Underworld.
However, now Boxed Lunch brought his team back here.
As soon as they arrived, they took out the paint they carried for drawing the sacrifice array and began drawing the sacrifice array on the ground.
However, unlike previous arrays, this time they drew an array that was large, with a radius of forty meters, consuming a lot of paint in the process…
They decided to make a big splash.
Since the sacrifice array could swallow metal items…
Then, could it also swallow a spider boss whose entire exoskeleton was metal?
“Boxed Lunch is amazing! Sacrificing the boss with the sacrifice array, why didn’t I think of this?”
A player said excitedly.
“That’s why you’re not the captain, Boxed Lunch is!”
Another player laughed.
“But… will it really work? What if it fails, we’ll be chased by the spider boss again.”
Of course, there were still players who remained skeptical.
Boxed Lunch pondered for a moment, then replied,
“We can give it a try. Let’s hand all our valuable equipment and items to Nightingale and have her leave first.”
This was the longest sentence he had ever said, showing that he took this experiment very seriously.
Seeing Boxed Lunch’s determination, the other team members stopped doubting and began to take action.
Soon, all the players removed their equipment, leaving only simple underwear.
Unlike the earlier times, with the return of the elf warriors from the Flame Tribe, players now had other clothes besides their equipment.
Though it was simple underwear, at least players would no longer run around naked…
*It was a fact that showed when players streaked naked, the favor of NPC elves dropped the fastest.*
Nightingale was stunned as she watched players hand over their equipment to her.
“Wait… What are you going to do? Sacrifice? You’re going to sacrifice the big spider? Sacrifice it to whom?”
They were planning to sacrifice the big spider?!
To sacrifice a living creature… Had they gotten acquainted with some Evil God?!
Weren’t they the messengers of the Mother Goddess?
“Of course, the Goddess!”
A player replied.
“The… Mother Goddess?”
Nightingale was astounded.
“Wait… you’re not serious, are you? Doing this will incur the wrath of the True God!”
She quickly said with concern.
“Don’t worry, it won’t, it won’t! I’m a Druid; I understand plant growth and development very well. The Goddess’s body is the World Tree, currently recovering. These spiders contain rich mineral elements, as well as nutrient-rich organics, making them excellent fertilizer. Sacrificing them to the Goddess will have a positive effect on Her recovery!”
A player mischievously explained.
Nightingale: …
*Is… is that so?*
She was somewhat bewildered.
*It sounded reasonable.*
*But… something felt off.*
At this moment, players were also ready.
“You stand back a bit.”
Boxed Lunch told Nightingale.
Nightingale nodded reflexively and moved away from where the players were.
It wasn’t until she had walked far away that she suddenly realized,
“Wait! The Mother Goddess is not an Evil God!”
However, the players could no longer hear her.
“Main tank, lure the monsters, bring the big one out. Hu Lu, be ready to pray. Druid, prepare to control.”
Seeing Nightingale had moved away, Boxed Lunch commanded.
Upon hearing his orders, the Elf tank warrior in the team nodded solemnly and stepped forward.
The other players were visibly tense.
Hu Lu looked excited, kneeling before the array, holding his breath, ready to recite the sacrificial words at any moment.
Soon, the Elf warrior player reached the cave entrance.
He took a deep breath and roared loudly,
“Spider Sun Thief! Grandpa’s here!”
After yelling, he picked up a rock, aimed at a giant figure in the cave, and hurled it fiercely.
With a “smack,” the rock hit the spider.
In an instant, countless scarlet eyes turned to look over, including four pairs of huge “red lanterns”…
Accompanied by rustling sounds, all the spiders swarmed out, charging at him.
The giant spider that had been hit also let out a low hiss, following suit.
Witnessing all this, the Elf warrior’s scalp tingled, and he turned to run.
The spiders chased after him, showing no sign of stopping until they caught him…
*That was the Demon Beast’s predatory instinct!*
Seeing the monsters being lured out, all the players were excited, hearts pounding.
The Elf warrior looked solemn.
He ran to the center of the sacrifice array and stopped.
The Earth Cave Spiders moved swiftly, quickly catching up and surrounding the Elf warrior.
Even that giant spider followed along.
In the players’ shocked gazes, the Elf warrior player was bitten and torn by the spiders, the scene was gruesome…
Simultaneously, the spiders noticed Hu Lu on the other side of the array and began rushing towards him!
Seeing the Earth Cave Spiders charging at Hu Lu, the Druid player, hidden on the side, instantly cast a prepared control spell, slowing their movement.
Hu Lu took a deep breath, knelt before the sacrifice array, and prayed swiftly:
“Praise Mother Nature, praise the Life Goddess, praise the great Elf Ruler—Eve Yggdrasil! Beautiful and noble Goddess, we have found exquisite offerings and wish to sacrifice them to You!”
After the words were spoken, the entire array suddenly emitted a bright glow!
