Game of the World Tree - Chapter 748

748. Chapter 745 The Massacred Village
“Village! It’s a village!”
Seeing the scenery at the end of the road, the players became excited, and even their pace became much lighter.
For a moment, they ran, surpassed Eve, and ran to the village first.
There is a reward for the first place in the task given by the goddess. Whoever completes the exploration task first will get more rewards than others.
Although everyone is a big shot in the game, this is the first time to act with the goddess, and everyone wants to leave a good impression on the goddess.
So… once they see the opportunity of the task, even Li Mu, who is a bit inexperienced, can’t help but move a little faster.
Looking at the village in her field of vision, Eve’s eyes softened a lot.
The sealing power of this world is very strange, and even His soul perception ability has been suppressed by most of it.
Under the suppression, Eve cannot use the soul to detect a distance of more than five kilometers.
The perception of the true god incarnation was suppressed, and He was originally prepared to take the players to explore for a few days.
And now, being able to see the village where the residents of the plane are active so quickly is undoubtedly a good sign.
However, Eve’s gaze did not soften for long.
After taking a few steps forward, his brows suddenly frowned slightly, and his gaze towards the distance was a little solemn.
The players did not notice the goddess’s expression.
They were now eager to enter the village to find NPCs to talk to.
However, after running a few steps, Cyber suddenly stopped.
He sniffed the air slightly and looked at the others:
“Hey, do you smell any blood?”
“Blood?”
The other players were slightly stunned.
Demacia sniffed hard and scratched his head in surprise:
“No…”
However, even if they did not smell the blood that Cyber said, everyone became alert.
Cyber’s profession is a hunter, and he is very sensitive to the smell.
Especially after possessing the ability of the blood elves.
And soon, the player Hefan who was walking in the front suddenly stopped.
He squatted down and checked the wheat on the side of the road.
Seeing his action, the players all turned their eyes over and noticed that he was stroking a broken wheat stalk with a serious face.
“Hefan, is there any problem?”
Xiao Xian Miao asked vigilantly, while tightening the magic wand in his hand.
Hefan nodded:
“It seems to be cut by a sharp weapon.”
Then, he looked to the side of the road and pointed to a messy wheat field that might be missed if you didn’t look carefully:
“There are signs of fighting.”
Fighting…
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously turned back to look at the goddess, but found that the smile on the goddess’ face had disappeared since I didn’t know when.
Instead, she looked solemn.
Seeing the goddess’s expression, the players’ faces also became stern.
If there is anyone in the team who is authoritative now, it must be the goddess.
And the change in the goddess’s expression undoubtedly shows that there is a problem with the village ahead.
Everyone’s face was stern, and their eyes became serious, and they entered a state of preparation for war.
Hefan continued to move forward.
The players looked at each other and followed his pace.
The group continued to move forward.
After walking a few hundred steps, even Demacia, which had the weakest perception, could smell the rusty bloody smell.
At this time, Hefan suddenly stopped.
He walked to the wheat field on one side and used the short knife in his hand to pick apart the wheat.
In the wheat, a human dressed as a villager was lying, holding a farm tool in his hand.
He was dead, with hideous wounds on his body, which seemed to be caused by a sharp weapon. His blood had turned black, dyeing the ground dark red…
“It should be a villager in the village. This is a human village.”
Optimist said in a deep
voice. Everyone nodded.
“He has been dead for a long time. I’m afraid it has been at least more than a day.”
Cyber checked the body and said.
More than a day…
The players looked stern.
The body was in the wheat next to the dirt road.
If it has been more than a day since death and no one has discovered it, then…
the village ahead…
For a moment, everyone turned their eyes to the goddess in the team.
Seeing the players’ gazes, Eve sighed and said softly,
“Get ready for battle.”
This sentence completely confirmed that there was danger in the village ahead.
“Melee fighters in front, mages in the back, pay attention to the surroundings.”
Li Mu ordered calmly.
With his order, the players immediately took action and changed the formation according to the ten-man team formation commonly used in “Elf Kingdom”.
Although the goddess was right behind them, everyone was still very vigilant.
When the mission plot was triggered, the current state of the goddess was described in the mission background. Players knew that the strength of the goddess in this world was also inexplicably suppressed.
The goddess wanted to save power for the incarnation, so she would not take action until the critical moment.
Therefore, as a mission player, you must not be careless at any time.
Of course, for Eve, saving power is just an excuse.
The main reason is that since there are players, the dirty work will naturally be done by the leeks. As long as it does not affect the efficiency, there is no need for Him to take action all the way like a nanny.
After realizing that there was a problem in the village, the group walked more cautiously.
As we got closer to the village, we saw more and more signs of fighting.
The ground was covered in blood and new bodies were occasionally seen. Judging from their attire, they were all villagers.
The way they died was almost the same. They were all injured by sharp weapons. They looked like weapons, but some of them also had claw marks like those of wild beasts.
Many people had horror on their faces before they died, as if they had seen something horrible.
The players looked around and moved forward, trying not to turn over the bodies…
Even among these bodies, you can occasionally see humans dressed as soldiers. The equipment on their bodies looks good, and even has a faint elf style.
There is no way, the goddess is behind them, and the players still have to save face at this time.
Entering the village, what comes into view is a mess, as if it has been robbed by robbers.
There are more corpses on the ground, not just ordinary villagers, but also old people and children, each one is more miserable than the other, as if they have been slaughtered.
Like the villagers in the wheat field, they died a day ago.
This tragic situation made the players frown, and the faces of the two female players were even a little pale, until they switched to mosaic mode to recover.
Even though they have experienced war after war, players still feel extremely uncomfortable when they see such a bloody scene in Elf Kingdom.
“Should we split up and check if there are any survivors?”
Demacia asked with a frown.
Li Mu pondered for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Eve, and found that her eyes were looking into the distance.
Li Mu’s heart moved, and he followed the goddess’s line of sight and saw the church in the village that was obviously in the style of an elf.
He was slightly moved, and said to the other players:
“No, let’s go to the church first.”
Noticing Li Mu’s obscure gaze, the other players nodded and followed.
At the same time, they also found that the goddess followed them like an NPC that follows the players in the game.
This made everyone secretly relieved.
Although the goddess did not speak, her actions have indirectly shown that everyone’s route choice should be correct.
The church in the village is not far away.
In less than five minutes, the players arrived at the door of the church courtyard.
However, after they approached here, the front lunch suddenly looked stern and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
The players held their breath and then heard faint conversations coming from the church courtyard.
It was a language they could not understand, and the voice was a little sharp.
When everyone approached cautiously and looked into the yard, they finally saw what was talking.
There were seven or eight humanoid monsters with fish scales on their bodies, heads like fish, tall and strong, and their strength was about the lower to upper silver level.
Beside the humanoid monster, there were some metal weapons. The shape of the weapons made people compare them with the wounds on the villagers.
In an instant, the players realized that the village was slaughtered by something.
The monsters were sitting around the campfire roasting something.
When Zhu Zhu saw clearly what was roasting on the campfire, he suddenly felt nauseous.
That… was actually a baby with an umbilical cord!
Not far away, on the ground, there was a priest-like figure lying, with half-pointed ears and a bloodless face.
She was a half-elf.
There was a bloody hole in her abdomen, and the blood had long been drained. It was obvious that she had been dead for a long time.
The blood stained her priest’s clothes red. The style of the clothes was 90% similar to that of the Church of Life before the reform.
It was a natural priest…
Such a thought came to the minds of the players.
Then, they looked at these fish-headed monsters with a touch of coldness.
“Demon God followers, Storm Fishmen.”
Eve’s emotionless voice resounded in the minds of all the players.
When she saw these monsters, the power of the true god made Eve know their names naturally – Storm Fishmen.
The images of these monsters were exactly the sea monsters that fought with the elves in the memories of the elf souls provided by Hela.
They… are believers of Leviathan.
Demon God followers…
The players’ eyes gradually became dangerous.
At this moment, in their sight, these fishmen were no different from dead people.
“I will control them first, and then everyone will go together to destroy them.”
Li Mu made a gesture to the others.
Everyone nodded and prepared to attack.
Li Mu waved his staff and chanted softly. Then, eight vines as thick as bowls broke out of the ground and entangled the Storm Fishmen.
The Storm Fishmen were caught off guard and were controlled by the vines summoned by Li Mu.
Then, the players shouted angrily and rushed up, waving their weapons, performing skills, and slashing at them.
This was a battle without any suspense.
The ten players summoned were already high-level players among the millions of players, with superb strength, all of them at the peak of the middle silver level.
Even if there was one person among the seven or eight Storm Fishmen who had reached the upper silver level, he did not react to the sneak attack of the players for a while, and was soon chopped into meat paste by the players who rushed over.
However, before being hacked to death by the players, the strongest Storm Fishman struggled to raise his head and let out a long roar.
“Oops… He’s calling his companions!”
Li Mu, who had already activated [Natural Whisper], changed his expression slightly.
The next second, noisy voices came from outside the church, and soon, more than three hundred Storm Fishmen ran out from various parts of the village, waving sharp and ferocious weapons, and surrounded the players.
Most of them were at the silver level, and one of them gave the players a frightening aura.
That was the aura of a gold professional.
Surrounded by more than a hundred silver professionals and one gold professional, even though they were strong, the players became solemn.
They couldn’t win…
Such a thought flashed through their minds.
However, despite this, their expressions were neither panic nor fearful.
The players looked at each other, and then gathered around Eve.
“Goddess, there are too many enemies…”
“Goddess, there are gold professionals among these fishmen!”
“Goddess, what should we do?”
They said with worry on their faces.
The idea of clinging to thighs was revealed.
Eve:…
He looked at the players, and then at the storm fishmen who rushed up, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.
At this moment, all the fishmen who rushed towards the players stopped.
They found that they could not move.
At the same time, the Storm Fishmen suddenly felt a fear that was difficult to describe in words. That feeling… It was as if they were stared at by some indescribable existence.
Then, Eve glanced at them again, and her eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of law power.
The Storm Fishmen froze slightly when they were swept by her eyes.
The next second, under the astonished gaze of the players, the murlocs trembled slightly, their bodies shattered, and turned into flying photons, slowly dissipating.
It was as if they had never appeared.
Seeing this scene, the golden-ranked Storm Murloc showed horror.
It was obviously a beautiful picture, but the hidden murderous intent in it, as well as the power that he could not understand, made him feel terrified…
He dropped his weapon and turned to flee.
But under Eve’s gaze, he only escaped one step, and followed the footsteps of the other murlocs, his body collapsed and turned into ashes…
“Fuck… so… so strong… just a glare and he was killed in seconds.”
“As expected of the goddess…”
“What skill was that just now? Can we learn it?”
The players were full of envy.
Eve did not explain.
This is just a certain application of the power of law.
Although his incarnation can only exert the power of the gold rank, he can still crush those below the legendary level with the power of law.
It just took some energy, and even Eve felt a little tired after destroying these fishmen.
The suppressed incarnation still has too limited power.
But no matter what, in front of the players, it is much more impressive than directly attacking.
Oh… this damn idol burden.
Then, Eve stretched out her hand slightly, summoned the soul of the gold-rank fishman leader, and read the other’s memory…
I am very tired today. I forced myself to write this chapter. I was not in good condition and could only write it according to the detailed outline. The result is too tedious and lacks a sense of substitution…
Sigh…
Good night.
