Game of the World Tree - Chapter 21

21. Chapter 21 Is this a hidden plot? (Please recommend!)

It has been three Earth Days since the internal test of “Elf Kingdom”, and twelve days have passed in the continent of Segus.

As time goes by, more and more of the three hundred players have been promoted to level 10.

The same is true for Demacia.

As early as one day ago, he had become a level 10 strength player.

However, the experience required to promote from level 10 to level 11 is also far beyond the imagination of the players, requiring a full 10,000 points.

And from level 9 to level 10, it is only 3,000 points.

After these days of familiarity, the way to gain experience in “Elf Kingdom” has also been explored by players.

For now, there are only two ways to summarize, either to do tasks or to level up by killing monsters like other games.

Unlike other games, the special effects after killing monsters in this game are quite realistic, and the bloody degree makes people wonder how this game can pass the review. At the beginning, many players were still not used to it, but after a long time, they became numb…

After all, it is known as the most realistic virtual game! Anyway, if you don’t like it, you can choose to mosaic the bloody scenes in your vision in the game system.

After being promoted to level 9, the players were divided into two groups regarding the issue of promotion.

Some relatively conservative players, such as Cuckoo Bird, chose to stay in the camp and planned to continue to rely on completing tasks to be promoted to Black Iron.

The other radical players who couldn’t wait to take risks chose to leave the safe zone with a radius of ten kilometers and try their luck outside.

Cutting trees or killing monsters will gain some experience points, but the creatures in the safe zone are too weak, and the experience gained is also pitiful, far less than the task.

So some players suggested that after the strength is about the same, they should try outside the safe zone, and perhaps they can find powerful monsters that can provide a lot of experience.

Some players chose to leave the safe zone after level 9, explore the dark zone, and try their luck to see if they can find those wild monsters that can provide experience points.

Facts have proved that their choice is not wrong. On that day, a player named “Boxed Lunch” led a team to encounter a level 9 forest python outside the safe zone. After several people killed it together, they got a lot of experience points.

After the news reached the camp, it caused quite a stir, and many players were tempted.

Several players who originally planned to reach level 11 by completing quests even joined those brave pioneers.

However, most people still chose to follow the system’s novice guidance and advance safely through quests.

After all, as the level gets higher and higher, the death penalty in the game becomes higher and higher. No one wants to accidentally return to the pre-liberation era the next night and start from scratch again.

In fact, this god-like resurrection mechanism has already made some players resentful, and I don’t know how many times they have complained about it on the official forum… Eve is also considering making improvements.

In addition, even if mosaics are used, the bloody scenes of cutting monsters make some players uncomfortable. Therefore, the number of players who finally choose to take risks is still small, and most of them are male.

Demacia has become interested in exploration. He died several times before level 5 and fought hard to get back to level 11. At this moment, Li Mu and Cuckoo Bird are already sprinting for Black Iron!

He didn’t want to be left too far behind by Brother Mu, so he finally chose to take risks and pulled along three other level 10 male players who were trying their luck.

The four of them, three of them were strength-based and one of them was spellcasting-based, decided to leave the safe zone together and go to the dark zone to explore.

…

As they left the safe zone, the vegetation in the Elven Forest became more and more lush, and it became increasingly difficult to move forward.

The Demacia group walked in the forest, using weapons to cut a path while vigilantly looking around, looking for possible monsters.

“There are too many plants here,

right? It’s hard to walk.” “After all, it’s a primeval forest.”

“Brother Demacia, is your information reliable? Are there really forest pythons here?”

“Don’t worry! There are definitely! I bought the information from ‘Boxed Lunch’ with a sun cedar, and he saw it with his own eyes.”

Listening to the inquiry of his teammates, Demacia patted his chest and assured.

At present, the supplies are not sufficient, so the currency system of the Elven Kingdom has not been established, and players can only barter. However, Eve has designed a contribution system to replace currency, which will be officially opened after the player reaches level 11.

“I see!”

After listening to Demacia’s explanation, several players felt much more at ease.

The group continued to move forward.

A few hundred meters away from Demacia, a pair of bright eyes were watching everything.

It was the oak guard Basaka.

Basaka hid in the gap of the ancient tree, observing several players, and in his hand was a trembling goblin…

He had captured this goblin at the edge of the Florentine ruins. It was a level 10 strength, but he had beaten it half to death.

Basaka held the goblin like a chicken while paying attention to the movements of several players.

Demacia and others did not notice the spying, they continued to chat in a low voice while moving forward.

“How far have we walked?”

“Almost seven kilometers out of the safe zone.”

“Shh, keep your voice down, this is not a safe zone, if you encounter a black iron level wild monster, it will be terrible.”

Suddenly, the expression of Demacia, who was walking in the front, changed, and the pointed ears moved slightly.

He stretched out his hand and made a hushing gesture, then whispered to his teammates:

“Quiet! I think I heard something!”

His tone suppressed a faint excitement.

The team suddenly quieted down, and several people immediately raised their alertness.

They lowered their bodies, held their breath, and looked around with wide eyes.

“Ah, ah, ah!!!”

Suddenly, a sharp and miserable voice came from the front, startling a flock of flying birds.

Several people’s hearts tightened, and they quickly drew their weapons.

“Ah, ah, ah–!”

The screams were getting closer and closer, with a hint of madness.

Several people’s spirits tightened, and they quickly took fighting postures, their hearts pounding.

“It’s in front…”

Demacia said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the bushes in front suddenly moved, and a skinny green creature rushed out.

The creature was wearing tattered clothes, had a ferocious expression, and bloodshot eyes. It rushed towards the group desperately as if it had gone mad.

“Brother…Goblin?!”

Several people shouted at the same time.

The only spellcaster cast an identification spell, and then his eyes lit up:

“Level 10! But it seems to be injured!”

“It has no weapons!”

“So… so fierce! Isn’t it afraid of us?”

A trace of excitement flashed in Demacia’s eyes. He waved his big knife and said excitedly:

“Who cares! This is experience delivered to our door! Do it!”

“Deal with it!”

“Don’t let it run away!”

The other people also shouted.

After that, several people shouted “Wow wow” and waved wooden swords to chop at the goblin.

However, what surprised several people was that this goblin did not dodge, but just bumped into it, bleeding, and died directly in a sea of swords…

At the last moment, a trace of relief flashed in its eyes.

The hidden war sacrifice slowly started, and the goblin’s body instantly aged, and turned into ash in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the four people’s systems also received news that the experience had arrived.

But at this moment, the four players were a little stunned.

“It… why doesn’t it hide?”

“Why do I feel like it’s seeking death…”

“I feel the same way, as if someone is chasing it from behind…”

“Ugh… give me a hand, I’m a little dizzy…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Wait, what is this?”

Suddenly, a player squatted down and fumbled out a shiny crystal from the ashes of the goblin.

It was an irregular light green crystal that seemed to contain a mysterious power.

“Hmm? Dropped item?”

“Is it a gem?”

“Let me identify it… Huh? I can’t identify it. Could it be a quest item?”

The players were a little excited and a little confused.

At this moment, the bushes in front moved again, and a huge figure enveloped the four people.

Basaka walked out of the woods and came in front of the few people.

Seeing the over 30-meter-tall Oak Guardian that suddenly appeared, several players swallowed their saliva at the same time…

“Fuck! What is this?”

“Tree man?”

“So… so big…”

Demacia thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

“It’s the Oak Guardian! We encountered the Oak Guardian!”

“Oak Guardian? Is it the rare NPC that Mu Da mentioned?”

“Yes! It must be him! I’ve seen his screenshots!”

After saying that, Demacia suddenly realized:

“No wonder the goblin ran for its life, it must be the Oak Guardian chasing it from behind…”

After saying that, he paused again…

Wait…

Could this group of people have robbed the Oak Guardian’s prey?

Several other players thought of this as well. They looked at each other, then raised their heads with some vigilance, ready to run away at any time.

They already knew that the NPCs in this game could not be measured by the experience of other games. The NPCs here also had emotions. Although the Oak Guard was also a natural camp, they had never dealt with it before…

What if he had a bad temper…

Anyway, looking at the more than 30-meter-tall body and the ferocious appearance, several people were a little scared.

This big guy didn’t look like someone who was easy to mess with…

However, the performance of the Oak Guard stunned them.

The giant tree man, who was 30 meters tall, suddenly stopped, bowed slightly to the few people, stretched out his hand and drew a natural symbol on his chest, and said in a deep voice like an old gentleman:

“Honorable Chosen One, thank you for eliminating this evil thief for me. To express my gratitude, I can meet one of your appropriate requests.”

Several people looked at each other, as if they had not yet recovered from the conversation with the Oak Guard.

“Thief?”

“Are you talking about the gem?”

“A request?”

Suddenly, Demacia was refreshed, as if he understood something.

He slapped his thigh and said,

“You are so stupid…! A hidden mission, it must be a hidden mission! We must have run into a hidden plot!”
