Plan C, initiate at the skywell around the corner!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he let go and gave Miss Nighthawk a push, slowing down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go first, climb out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Boxed Lunch’s confident demeanor, Miss Nighthawk hesitated for a moment but nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood that these Chosen Ones seemed to have a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ran ahead, occasionally glancing back to see what the Chosen Ones intended to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she saw a team member suddenly slow down, move to the back of the group, and pull out a bulging leather pouch from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw him twist open the pouch and start scattering some black powder along the path…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players continued scattering as they moved, until they reached a corner of the mine road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an open, transitional area connected to several other mine paths, with a skylight dozens of meters above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carved stone steps were on the cave walls, allowing people to climb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This… was one of the exits from the mine, with ruins above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Climb up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch shouted to Miss Nighthawk from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk nodded and hurriedly climbed up to the skylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly ascended and then turned to help the other players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other players also followed her, climbing up one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone climbed out of the mine, the spiders at the forefront arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began crawling up along the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch’s eyes flashed as he pulled out an identical bulging cloth bag from his body and threw it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other players also followed suit, tossing down identical bags from their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hu Lu, light it up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu eagerly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand appeared a fireball of several dozen centimeters in size, just conjured up by his Fireball Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the leading spider was almost out of the mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here goes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu turned around and threw the fireball over his shoulder, then immediately hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get down, cover your ears!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch called out to Miss Nighthawk again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other players all instinctively dive to the ground and cover their ears, she did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she lay down, she heard a deafening explosion…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black powder ignited upon contact with the fireball, instantly combusting and causing the air to heat up and expand rapidly, creating a violent explosion in the narrow mine tunnel. Accompanied by tremors shaking the ground, a several-meter-high tongue of flame burst out of the mine, carrying up thick black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire ground was shaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Such a… such a powerful explosion!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the tremors, Miss Nighthawk subconsciously clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*This intensity… it’s comparable to a three-ring spell in power, right?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*What’s going on here?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she was not mistaken, the fireball the Chosen One just threw down was only a one-ring fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Was it the black powder?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk’s eyes widened, her gaze at the Chosen Ones now tinged with disbelief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*What on earth did they harness? To make a one-ring fireball produce a three-ring spell effect!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Is it… some kind of alchemical product?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the aftershocks subsided, and there was not a sound from the mine anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust rose around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with a stinging smell that made Miss Nighthawk quite uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough… cough cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started coughing and finally pulled out her canteen, drinking a few sips to ease her discomfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she saw the players excitedly gather at the edge of the skylight, peeking down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They must be, it’s completely silent now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! Looks like technology’s still the way to go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah… too bad we don’t get any experience points from this method, such a waste, dozens of them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You win some, you lose some. The spider legs should still be there, let’s go pick them up and take them back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Chosen Ones’ strange comments, Miss Nighthawk curiously moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the skylight, the mine path was still smoking, but no more sounds could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*The spiders… are all dead?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, as the smoke cleared, Boxed Lunch called everyone to climb back down the mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk also climbed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent below was still strong, causing her to frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young girl arrived at the bottom of the skylight, she found that everything had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby mine paths had been completely destroyed, and Earth Cave Spider corpses were scattered everywhere, some still smoking…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost no intact corpses could be found; all the Earth Cave Spiders had been blasted to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Such… such power!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk covered her mouth in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the players began excitedly harvesting the spider legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Earth Cave Spiders, often feeding on minerals, had exoskeletons on their legs made of mineral deposits, which the Elf Blacksmith Carlos claimed to be excellent forging materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… even though they couldn’t gain experience points by indirectly killing the Earth Cave Spiders, gathering these materials offered some consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How… how did you do it? Was it those powders just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the spider remnants all around, Miss Nighthawk couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, never seen it before, huh? That’s gunpowder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players answered proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gunpowder?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, all thanks to Boxed Lunch! He’s the one who made it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, yeah! I’ve never seen someone gather materials and make gunpowder like that. I wonder what Boxed Lunch does in real life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players chattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Real life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk tilted her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t quite understand the Chosen Ones’ comments, but she understood one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious powder that caused the tremendous explosion was made from wood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*He even knows alchemy? He’s that impressive?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk’s eyes were filled with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Miss Nighthawk’s intense gaze, Boxed Lunch felt uncomfortable all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stiffened his face, glared at the chatty players, and commanded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, gather up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players glanced at Boxed Lunch, then at Miss Nighthawk, and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, over eighty spiders had chased after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stripping all the spider legs, the players awkwardly discovered that the bags their Fiery Flame Elf gifted them could not hold everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awkward, can’t… can’t carry it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh… the backpack’s still too small. Why can’t we have a system backpack…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why don’t we make two trips to bring it back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would it be unsafe to leave it here? What if someone else comes and takes it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe we should just draw an array and sacrifice it, these spider legs are metallic, the array should consume them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the players’ dilemma, a smile played on Miss Nighthawk’s lips:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me hold it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward and touched the spider legs the players had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the players watched in surprise as the spider legs shimmered briefly and then disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! How did you do that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“G…Gone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Hu Lu’s eyes lit up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Space equipment?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk lifted her chin triumphantly, her lips curling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh~! See? I can still be of help, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her words, all the players became thrilled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amazing! You have space equipment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boxed Lunch! You’ve recruited a walking storage room!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the players excitedly emptied their gear, eagerly handing it over to Miss Nighthawk:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Nighthawk, Miss Nighthawk! Can you store these for us too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>” Yeah, yeah! It’s too heavy to carry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Nighthawk:…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch didn’t join the players’ chatter, instead frowning in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His contemplative look caught the attention of others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boxed Lunch, what’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A player stopped what he was doing and curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spider legs can be sacrificed too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch replied with a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! After all, they’re metal! The array will surely consume them! Just with a bit less contribution…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not to mention spider legs, didn’t we even sacrifice beast bones before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another player chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Boxed Lunch’s eyes flickered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… suddenly have an idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it works…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There might be a way to open the gates to the Underworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1597,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","55b685c436cce2db3ad7ca0dd8cc562d4359b39cd306caee73f375129aaf3b1d","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-165","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-163",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
