Black Dragon Nest? Magic materials? Divine Envoy?

Hearing these words, He Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

After some thought, he replied in the chat system,

“Perhaps… it really is a hidden quest. I heard them talking about the Half-Beast’s secret.”

Then, He Fan sent the message he had just heard word for word.

...

Upon receiving the message, his teammates immediately perked up,

“Wow! Summoning a Divine Envoy? Could this be quest intel?”

“Very likely! Big He Fan! You might have really triggered a hidden quest!”

“Quick, report to Holy Daughter! Maybe you can trigger something!”

Soon, a few teammates stopped talking, and it seemed they had gone to find Alice.

The remaining teammates continued to ask on the team channel,

“Big He Fan, you are trapped right now. Do you need us to come and help you?”

He Fan glanced at the mini-map, pondered for a moment, and replied,

“No need, it’s too far.”

It was indeed too far.

He was now over a hundred kilometers from the core area of the Elf Forest. Even with navigation, without a higher-tier being to lead the way, the players couldn’t catch up.

Not to mention, the players were busy preparing for the main storyline mission.

“It’s temporarily safe here. I’ll handle it myself. You guys focus on the main storyline mission first.”

He Fan replied.

Seeing He Fan’s response, his teammates did not insist further.

Right now, they were indeed more interested in the main storyline mission.

After all… the main storyline is known for its rich rewards!

Besides, it’s still uncertain what He Fan had triggered.

Of course, the most critical reason was that it was too far…

…

“Summon a Divine Envoy?”

Upon hearing news from the Chosen Ones, Alice’s expression became solemn.

“Could it be… the Totem Guardian?”

After the World Tree fell, the elves were hunted by many races, especially the Half-Beasts.

During this period, the Half-Beasts had summoned Uller’s Divine Envoy—the Totem Guardian—to attack elf settlements several times.

And after the divine war, some of the remaining high-end combat power in the elves were sacrificed under the attack of the Totem Guardian.

After some consideration, Alice said,

“This information is crucial. I think… this is likely a plot by the Half-Beasts against the Mother Goddess. I will report this to the Mother Goddess immediately.”

“Also, I ask you to contact ‘He Fan’ and have him be patient for a while. He is likely encountering a human smuggling caravan!”

“It is said they have a base near the Dark Mountain Range. This is also an opportunity to attack a human smuggling outpost. We might even rescue some fellow elves!”

The players’ names were each more comically absurd than the last.

However, because Eve had long used the game system to interfere, when players spoke their names, they would automatically be converted into phonetically acceptable terms for the natives. So while sometimes they sounded a bit strange, it ultimately wasn’t a problem.

Smuggling caravan? Rescue fellow elves?

The eyes of a few players lit up.

Perhaps… this is the hidden quest that He Fan encountered!

After informing the Chosen Ones, Alice quickly went to the Natural Temple to pray.

“Totem Guardian?”

Eve was slightly moved in her heart.

Considering the vampire Divine Favored’s behavior, she quickly guessed Uller’s intentions,

“Is it thought that my condition is weak and they want to catch me in one fell swoop?”

The reason, Eve could roughly guess.

A True God is a True God after all. Unless genuinely weak, why would they hide?

Of course, the real reason Eve hid wasn’t that she was weak, but that her true identity could not be exposed.

And after leaving the near-death state, her Divine Power was still weak, but far stronger than before.

Thinking of this, she issued a divine decree to Alice,

“I have already learned of the matter. I will grant Divine Favored El the ability to summon my avatar. Let him journey with you all.”

With the repairs over the past few days, Hela’s Treasure Bead had been completely repaired by Eve, and she could now use it to exercise Demigod-Level power through her avatar.

However, because this was not a demigod avatar that directly consumed 100 points of Divine Power to condense, but one cleverly made using the Death God’s Treasure Bead, the demigod avatar could only descend for a short time.

Maybe… it could last ten minutes.

After issuing the divine decree to Alice, Eve shifted her attention to He Fan.

In fact, when the Nightstalker abandoned He Fan, Eve had already taken notice.

But to her surprise, whether He Fan was considered lucky or unlucky, he was picked up by a human caravan.

As for the native elf also imprisoned in the caravan, it was a pleasant surprise.

The rescue would certainly happen, but not now. The priority was to destroy the Half-Beast’s outpost, which was critical to the southeast exit of the Elf Forest.

Moreover… Eve was quite interested in Uller’s Totem Guardian.

As for the human caravan, Eve planned to play a long game.

After observing the direction in which the human caravan was moving, Eve was slightly moved,

“Towards the Dark Mountain Range?”

After pondering for a moment, Eve used her Divine Power.

At the same time, He Fan received a new system message,

[Ding—]

[You have triggered a hidden task: Human Caravan]

[Plot Description: Human smuggling caravans have been active across the continent, secretly conducting elf trafficking. You decide to use this opportunity of being captured to secretly investigate the human caravan’s base near the Elf Forest.]

[Task Content: Stay with the human caravan, investigate the human base, and protect the elf fellows]

Protect elf fellows…

He Fan was silent for a moment, looking at the nearby sleeping female elf…

This unfamiliar Elf Girl was tightly bound, yet she slept soundly, as if she had returned to her own home.

He Fan: …

He took a deep breath and began to meditate.

The whole person was as obedient as a soldier following orders.

…

Main Task: Destroy the Half-Beast’s outpost!

After thoroughly subduing Black Dragon Mairrel and having him as a guide, Eve issued a new task.

This time, almost every player who had advanced to Black Iron Level chose to participate.

Unlike previous small outposts, this time they were genuinely attacking the Half-Beast’s lair!

These days, whether it was building towns, working for the Flame Tribe’s elves, or hunting Demon Beasts, although there was still plenty of fun, players preferred the grand spectacle of fighting the Half-Beasts in large battles.

Exciting! Spectacular! Lively!

And more importantly, it really felt like war…

For players from Tianchao who lived in peaceful times, there was a unique allure.

And on this occasion, both Alice and El would accompany the mission.

Even the elves from the Flame Tribe were eager for action.

Especially the young ones who were less than two hundred years old and full of enthusiasm.

Of course, they were still stopped by the elders, and the reason was simple,

“The Chosen Ones can resurrect, can you?!”

However, even so, it didn’t dampen the young elves’ enthusiasm.

The Chosen Ones are the apostles of the Mother Goddess, and the beliefs of the Chosen Ones are the beliefs of the Mother Goddess!

Even Divine Favored El, with royal lineage, had changed his views, hadn’t he?!

We hold onto kindness and justice… are they always right?

With this mindset, as they further interacted with the players, the native elves of Segis World gradually changed…

Years of experience combined with the guidance of the Mother Goddess led some to finally realize—

Boundless mercy is not a virtue!

Facing enemies, only the sword and blood are the truth!

Although there were still few who thought this way, for the stubborn elves, it was a significant change.
