Game of the World Tree - Chapter 177

177. Chapter 177 Hidden Mission: Dark Dwarf

Evil God Believers!

Looking at those elves with strange behaviors, the old dwarf Balin’s eyes flickered.

There are two origins of evil gods…

One is the true god whose soul is polluted by the will of the abyss, and the other is a powerful existence that actively surrenders to the will of the abyss in order to become a true god.

But no matter which one, because the spirit is entangled with the chaotic abyss, they generally have a paranoid and evil character…

In addition, they strengthen themselves not by faith, but by the blood sacrifice of other creatures by their believers.

Unlike other true god believers, because they are affected by the will of the evil god, the evil god believers are often crazy.

Even in the chaotic underground world, the evil god is a very sensitive topic. Many settlements of underground intelligent races are destroyed by the evil god believers…

As an old dwarf who has dealt with the evil god believers many times, Balin naturally knows that these guys are a group of alchemical potions that may explode at any time.

If they were allowed into the settlements and cities of underground intelligent creatures, chaos would probably soon arise…

However, even a sharp iron sword is double-edged. If this group of elves suspected of being followers of the evil god can be used well, perhaps they can also bring unexpected surprises to themselves!

Thinking of this, his eyes gradually became deeper.

“Grandpa Balin, how is it?”

Looking at the old dwarf with a flickering expression, the young dwarf Iron Hammer asked with some curiosity and some respect.

After following the old dwarf Balin, he did not continue to move forward, so he did not see the subsequent battle scenes of the players, nor did he hear the players’ words clearly.

Balin retracted his gaze, sighed slightly, and whispered:

“It’s just a group of elves who strayed into the underground world. It’s not a big problem. Let’s go back. I’ll let others keep an eye on this place.”

“It’s really elves! It seems that I was not wrong!”

After hearing the old dwarf’s words, Tiechui looked happy:

“I heard that they are the noblest race in the world. Maybe our tribe can communicate and do business with them!”

After hearing Tiechui’s words, the old dwarf Balin nodded and laughed:

“Haha, Tiechui, don’t worry. Judging from their appearance, they will go deep into the underground cave sooner or later. At that time, they will definitely visit our tribe. Let’s go back first.”

After saying that, he pulled Tiechui who wanted to go forward to take a look and turned back.

“Interesting…”

Eve retracted her gaze with interest while “watching” the old dwarf who turned and left.

The players can’t see the peeping dwarves, but Eve can.

After all, the true god is the true god. When he projects his consciousness onto the players, he can also “see” the surroundings clearly.

He also saw clearly the series of changes of the old dwarf.

Elves who strayed into the underground world?

His expression of surprise before did not seem to be like he thought the players would be ordinary elves, right?

“Just now, this dwarf must have been frightened by the players’ behavior, but his final reaction was very strange… It seems that I have to let the players be careful when they come into contact with the dark dwarves, so as not to be used as a gun.”

Eve thought thoughtfully.

“This old dwarf seems to be wary of the young dwarves. This may involve the internal fighting of the dwarves, and there may be faith involved…”

“Although the players are not believers, I still have to pay more attention to them. Let them enter the underground world mainly to improve their strength, not to expand their power. Try not to conflict with the dark dwarves…”

That’s right, Eve has never thought of extending her power into the underground world.

In his view, the chaotic underground world is just a training ground for the players. There are many monsters here. The main function is to train the players with monsters and absorb some vitality.

Of course, if you can do some business with the underground intelligent races, it is also a good choice!

However, as for expanding in the underground world, forget it.

At most, we can raise some races similar to agents and collect minerals and specialties.

The world above ground is so rich and more suitable for the survival of elves. Wouldn’t it be nice to expand it above ground?

Of course, another important reason why Eve does not plan to expand here is that she is afraid of the existence behind the dark dwarves…

the true gods of the underworld!

There is a plane channel between the underground world and the underworld. Although this channel has been closed after the thousand-year war of gods, several true gods in the underworld still value the underground world.

For the big guys in the underworld, this is their bridgehead in the world of Segus.

Eve, who has already confronted Ullr, the god of winter and hunting, does not want to provoke another enemy and be attacked from both sides.

The gods in the heavens are destined to become enemies, but the true gods of the underworld are different. They did not participate in the war of gods a thousand years ago, and their roots are not in the world of Segus. Strictly speaking, they are not Eve’s enemies.

Of course, he still has some little thoughts in his heart…

It is said that Hela is not interested in the gods of heaven. Even if she left a mark in the Pantheon, it was probably just for show.

If there is a chance to connect with this true god, it may be a good choice!

Of course, there are risks, because Eve does not know what Hela’s attitude is towards the world tree and the gods.

And he has been wearing someone else’s vest in front of Uller, so he is still a little guilty.

But anyway…

“It’s better to be careful when it comes to the believers of the god of death!”

This is the god of death.

If the people living nearby are not the dark dwarves who believe in the true god of the underworld, but the lizardmen who believe in the primitive totem, or other intelligent creatures who believe in the evil god…

Eve will definitely loosen the dog chain of the players and let them go up to bite randomly!

…

The “First Legion” guild found a good monster spawning point in the underground world, with extremely high experience value rewards!

Although Tomato Fried Tomato strongly asked the guild members not to leak this news, who didn’t call friends from other guilds?

Moreover… the players who explore deep underground are not just their guild, but also other small guilds and some individual players.

Therefore, before they had spent much time in the underground world scouting for giant scorpions, the news spread.

For a time, a large number of hardcore players formed small teams and poured into the underground world to join the army of monster scouting.

The number of players scouting giant scorpions in the mushroom forest soon exceeded three hundred.

This made Tomato Fried Tomato depressed, but he could do nothing about it. He secretly cursed these players as a group of cats who ran over when they smelled the fishy smell.

Of course, he just cursed.

High-level players are the vested interests of many rules and systems in “Elf Kingdom” and are also subject to corresponding restrictions. Now he is no longer the same as before, and naturally he has become much more obedient.

Moreover, there are indeed many monsters in the underground world, so there is no need to fight for these small monsters.

After the players rushed to swipe all the giant scorpions in the mushroom forest, they quickly crossed the forest and came to a deeper area…

In the deeper place, they saw a beautiful underground river.

The underground river divided the cave into two parts. One part was an underground forest composed of various strange plants, where the roars of monsters could be heard, and the other area was an open wilderness!

After seeing the wilderness, the players’ eyes lit up.

Because they actually saw fields and paths!

Here… there are natives from the underground world!

The crops on the fields are different from those in the aboveground world. The players couldn’t name them. They seemed to be a kind of moss-like plant that looked very ugly.

And farther away in the wilderness, the players saw an underground city made of black stones!

“It’s a city!”

“Look! There are some people moving around there!”

“They are very short and have very dark skin. They must be the dark dwarves mentioned in the information!”

The players were very excited.

At the same time, a new system message also appeared in front of all the players who came here——

[Ding——]

I don’t know why, players always feel that this time the plot mission is triggered very quickly…
