Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: New Task

“The Mother Goddess has already responded to me, and She will soon reveal the divine message directly to you all!”

Inside the Natural Temple, Alice looked at Li Mu with delight.

However, gradually, her expression became solemn…

After a moment, she sighed,

“This time… I will go with you.”

“Huh?”

...

Li Mu was slightly taken aback.

*Weren’t we worried about being exposed?*

Alice glanced at him and explained,

“The Mother Goddess issued a divine decree… There are still our clansmen held captive by the Half-Beasts.”

“Elves… never abandon their companions! So, no matter what, I must go and see.”

“But don’t worry… The Mother Goddess has Her plans… and I won’t be reckless either.”

In fact, with the avatar now, theoretically Eve’s strength in her incarnation was enough to directly take down the Half-Beasts.

Yet, for some reason, whenever Eve had such thoughts, a sense of unease arose within her.

*The premonition of a True God is extremely accurate, so… She decided to leave everything to the players and NPCs first, and observe secretly for a while.*

And not long after Alice finished speaking, the players also received a system notification.

[Ding——]

[Player Demacia has triggered the task: Half-Beast Hunting Team]

[Task Objective: Eliminate all enemies at the Half-Beast base! Rescue the Elven companions captured by the Half-Beasts!]

[Task Duration: Unlimited]

[Task Participants: Unlimited]

[Task Level: 10+]

[Task Rewards: Experience points, Perfect Resurrection, Contribution Points]

Demacia was initially stunned but then overjoyed,

“Holy crap! I knew it!”

His shout drew the attention of a group of Half-Beasts, who looked at him as if he were an idiot.

But soon, he was stunned again,

“Rescue companions? Are they talking about me?”

Black Stone glanced at him and commanded,

“Throw this guy in the cell.”

After speaking, a few Half-Beasts came forward, grabbed Demacia, and locked him in the cell.

Yet Demacia was unfazed; his attention was fully focused on the system interface in his vision…

This task was different from others, as it even came with a storyline introduction, which he found very engaging.

[Task Story Introduction——]

[As the greatest enemy of the Elf Clan, the Half-Beast Hunting Team has continuously threatened the safety of the Elves.]

[After centuries of hunting and capture, countless Elves have fallen victim to them, and the once glorious race has gradually declined.]

[And now, the Half-Beast Hunting Team has finally set their evil sights on you… Observing your unlimited resurrection ability, they suspect you have ties to the Death God and have subjected you to severe torture…]

[As a brave and fearless Chosen One, you did not bow to the dark forces but refused to compromise, cleverly using lies to deceive the Half-Beasts!]

[The Half-Beasts fell for it! They decided to present your lies as truth to the Winter and Hunting God Uller! Meanwhile, you were thrown into a cell…]

Seeing the continuous flow of system messages, Demacia’s expression became excited.

So advanced! Such a high-level hidden task!

It could even dynamically generate a storyline based on my actions!

And then, the story continued…

[Now… it’s time to use your wit and intelligence again!]

[By observing the Half-Beasts, you discover they must use a sacrificial array to contact the True God, which gave you some ideas…]

At this, Demacia was stunned.

Huh? Do the Half-Beasts need a sacrifice to contact the True God?

Isn’t praying enough?

Hmm… the priest did mention it just now.

Wait… I don’t really have any ideas!

*Demacia mentally complained.*

And the story continued…

[The Half-Beasts are immensely powerful, and you do not believe the Chosen Ones can defeat them. Thus, you must seek NPC assistance. And because of the presence of the Half-Beast Priest, Alice and the Berserker couldn’t intervene directly…]

Demacia: …

*I… I think?*

[It is at this moment you suddenly recall some knowledge about the sacrificial array… Which might help you deal with the Half-Beast Priest!]

[Once the Half-Beast Priest is out of the way, the Goddess’s favored ones will not have any worries, enabling them to attack the remaining Half-Beasts!]

Demacia: …

*Can it work like this?*

He read on in astonishment.

Wait, since when do I know how to handle arrays?

And… I’m tied up, what can I do?

*He muttered to himself internally.*

[But in your current situation, doing this is impossible.]

[It is then you think of your teammates…]

[In your heart, a plan begins to form…]

Demacia: …

*Is this possible?!*

Wait… why does this feel like a predestined event?

Everything laid out clearly?

Never mind, there’s no time to worry about it, contacting my teammates is the priority!

*Complete the task, complete the task!*

*This must be a task hint!*

Speaking of which, he’s been captured for so long, he forgot to contact his teammates…

Thinking of this, Demacia quickly opened his friend list in his mind, and was startled to see there were 99+ messages.

All of them were asking about his safety… and the task…

Taking a deep breath, Demacia excitedly contacted Li Mu,

“Brother Mu, Brother Mu, hahaha! I’ve activated another task!”

“It’s the Half-Beast Hunting Team! And I’ve thought of an excellent idea to wipe them out in one go!”

While glancing at the system information, he eagerly shared everything with Li Mu on the other end.

Meanwhile, in the Natural Temple, Li Mu, who received Demacia’s message, was astonished,

“This guy… sure is lucky, isn’t he?”

After some exchange, the two quickly reached an agreement.

“I’ve got it, your plan is indeed good. I’ll contact the nearest Black Iron players to you and have them team up with you. I’ll also reach out to Little Xian Miao, Boxed Lunch, and have Alice and the Berserker support you and assist in completing the task!”

Li Mu replied in the message.

After thinking for a bit, he added,

“You must hold on, no matter what happens, don’t die, otherwise the coordinates will be lost. And you need to take good care of the captured Elves.”

Demacia: …

“You guys save the location first! This place is so damn dirty and stinky, I want to suicide back to town. Wait… you said captured Elves? Isn’t it me?”

He replied.

“You fool! It’s the Elf clan members, they’re the hostages! Look carefully! Just hold your breath if it’s filthy, turn off your sense of smell if it’s stinky!”

Li Mu replied.

Demacia: …

“Alright… Hurry up and come, I don’t want to stay here a second longer!”

He replied with sorrow.

At this moment, a clear voice interrupted his thoughts.

“Are… are you okay?”

Demacia was startled, and when he turned around, he saw three small figures in the cell.

As his gaze fell on their delicate features and pointed ears, he couldn’t help but excitedly shout,

“Holy crap! Elves?!”

There were actually Elves here?!

There really were hostages!

They were three frail Elves…

They were grimy, seemingly very young, appearing about twelve or thirteen years old.

One male and two females.

And the one who bravely approached to speak to Demacia was the only young male Elf.

The two female Elves timidly hid behind him.

Their appearance was disheveled, their expressions tinged with a hint of anxiety and fear, but their eyes held unprecedented purity.

“Um… you’re bleeding a lot…”

The young Elf said timidly, with a hint of concern in his voice.

The black and white eyes, the innocent gaze they cast at Demacia, filled with genuine concern, instantly reminded him of a pure little angel.

His expression grew complex for a moment.

After a moment, he sighed.

“Sigh…”

“Brother Mu, I’ve changed my mind.”

“I’m not in a rush to leave. You all hurry up and come over, I promise not to act recklessly and will stay put…”

“Oh right, when you come… bring some tasty berries and three sets of clean clothes.”
