One kilometer outside the Feilengcui Ruins, twenty-one instance groups formed by players, totaling over ninety people, waited quietly.

Demacia, once again bribed by loot, transformed back into Dema, taking on the glorious task of luring monsters.

This time, he delved deeper than before and attracted over a dozen goblins at once, including three that had reached level 10, which were elite goblins.

More than ten goblins wielding curved swords and wooden clubs chased after him, chattering excitedly.

Not only that, but a few goblins had bows and arrows. However, when they intended to shoot, they were stopped by the elite goblins.

...

They wanted an intact female humanoid; capturing alive without injury was best.

This goblin mindset made Dema’s luring plan go even more smoothly.

He led the goblins back to the clearing where they had been before and then stopped.

Just as the dozen or so goblins thought the “human” they were chasing was exhausted from running, suddenly, at the command of “attack,” nearly a hundred tall figures sprang out from the surrounding grass.

El… elves?

The dozen goblins were instantly stunned.

“It’s the goblins!”

“The goblins are here!”

“One, two, three… a total of eighteen! Everyone, one goblin per team! Those three level 10 elites, two teams per goblin!”

“Charge! Swarm them!”

The elves, their eyes red, panting heavily, seemed in a state of excitement. They charged forward, swinging wooden swords and yelling, afraid that if they were even a second slow, someone else would steal their monsters.

The goblins were completely dumbfounded.

*Where did this bunch of crazy elves come from?*

*Where did so many elves pop out of the Elf Forest?! Weren’t they all gone?*

*Wait a minute… are these really the lofty, elegant, reserved long-eared beings?*

*By the Hunting God, have they gone mad?*

The goblins wanted to flee, but they were already surrounded by players.

“Quick! Spellcasters, use control skills to separate them! Attack magic works too!”

“Encircle! Encircle! There’s one trying to escape over there!”

“Whoa, don’t use area damage! You almost hit an ally!”

With various long-range magical disturbances, the goblins were gradually separated, starting to face one team of players after another…

If the five pioneer players had struggled against three goblins earlier, now ninety-plus facing eighteen green-skins was no challenge at all.

With strategies passed down from predecessors, players completely entered a cooperative combat state.

Every team found their target, taking turns to move forward, swinging a blade each, hitting then retreating without engagement; if goblins wanted to chase, they used magic to harass, if goblins tried to run, they used control skills to stop…

Even with the goblins’ rich combat experience, they couldn’t withstand the players’ frenzy. Over ten minutes later, the last goblin was hacked to death by the players, while they paid the price of only a dozen light injuries and one death.

The person who died was unfortunately taken out by friendly magic.

Even Li Mu and his group were stunned by the players’ bursting combat power:

“Wow, you guys are ruthless…”

The players were not yet satisfied:

“This scene, a bit bloody… but so refreshing.”

“Not enough, not enough, only a dozen for experience is too little…”

“I only got in one strike…”

“Dema, how about luring some more?”

Dema choked for a moment…

“Hurry up, go lure, we’ll split the loot with you!”

“If a Divine Blood Crystal drops, you’ll get a share of the rewards exchanged from the Goddess!”

The players added.

Hearing this, Dema’s expression turned serious:

“You better keep your word!”

“Here I go!”

With a loud shout, he flicked his small green skirt and once again headed towards Feilengcui.

Moments later, over a dozen goblins, shrieking loudly, chased after…

The battle began again…

Thus, the players began their monster farming mission around Feilengcui.

With continuous battles, their teamwork grew better and better.

At first, it was one team against one goblin, then it became one team against two.

Later, even with level 10 elite goblins, a level 10 player team could compete against three.

They may not have been stronger than their opponents individually, but the battles became more rhythmic.

The players had clear roles, some attracting targets, others ambushing, each taking turns striking goblins down, persevering until the goblins wore out…

Not only that, the players enjoyed the sweetness of experience points, switching to the relatively sharp curved swords wielded by goblins, making fights more efficient and enjoyable… and even a dozen level 9 players leveled up directly.

With continuous goblin defeat, the second Divine Blood Crystal was discovered.

“Divine Blood Crystal! We found the Divine Blood Crystal!”

A player excitedly exclaimed, holding up a light green crystal.

“Whoa! Luck King!”

“Which monster did it drop from?”

“It was an elite goblin!”

The lucky player replied excitedly.

It was a goblin who had just collected the Divine Blood Crystal from the forest, preparing to return to its lair to hand it over to the priest, only to be lured in by Dema halfway…

Elite Goblin?

Upon hearing this, all the players’ eyes lit up.

“So it’s rare items that drop from elite goblins…”

“The drop rate is so low, over ninety people up against nearly a hundred goblins, almost twenty elites, and it only dropped one piece…”

“Ugh, what a frustrating drop rate.”

“The developers should ride a horse.”

“You guys should be content! Back when I played online games to farm phantom crystals, that drop rate was truly emotional. Twenty or more elite goblins dropping one Divine Blood Crystal is already quite good.”

“Whatever, let’s lure more elite goblins, I won’t believe we can’t farm out a Divine Blood Crystal today!”

“Where’s the mock tank? Where’s the mock tank?”

“Hey—Dema, go lure some monsters! Bring more, especially elites!”

The players shouted.

Dema: …

Seeing the increasingly enthusiastic, ever stronger players, the observing Berserker was finally moved.

This group, Chosen Ones, showed unity and vigor against the goblins far beyond his imagination!

Not only that, their speed of improvement was astonishing, and their battle frenzy was mind-blowing.

What was even more touching was that although they weren’t Believers of the Mother Goddess Her Excellency, they willingly fought for the Goddess without fear!

At this moment, Berserker felt a slight respect for the players.

“By the Mother Goddess above, Your wisdom awes Berserker.”

“I finally understood why You summoned them. These Chosen Ones may not have been born warriors, but they have infinite potential to become a powerful army! Though not Your Believers, they are more fervent than typical Believers!”

“However, they lack even a shred of chivalry… and tend to be a bit greedy, even somewhat disgraceful.”

Watching players nearly fight over discarded goblin curved swords, Berserker shook his head helplessly.

Evé could understand this though.

She provided players with crudely made wooden swords, while the goblins’ curved swords, though not of great quality, were at least metal and sharper, taken from Human Caravans.

To players, these were better equipment.

Feeling the feedback from the goblins killed by players, Evé’s mood grew more delightful.

“Accumulated 1.2 Divine Power points.”

She thought cheerfully.

Perhaps due to long-term occupation of the elves’ sacred grounds, the resentment of Elf Souls feedback from the slain goblins was considerable. In less than half a day, Evé was recouping her investment in creating players’ bodies.

If you counted the new Divine Blood Crystal discovered by players, She was already making a profit.

“Though distant, I’m one step closer to having a physical incarnation.”

Looking at Her nearly 13 points of Divine Power, envisioning the 100-point goal, Evé consoled herself.

She was tired of being an immobile background figure…

The players’ battles continued, and as the goblins in Feilengcui dwindled in number, the goblin priest in the ruins finally noticed something was amiss.
