Sacrificing the boss with the sacrifice array, why didn’t I think of this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A player said excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why you’re not the captain, Boxed Lunch is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another player laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… will it really work? What if it fails, we’ll be chased by the spider boss again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were still players who remained skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch pondered for a moment, then replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can give it a try. Let’s hand all our valuable equipment and items to Nightingale and have her leave first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the longest sentence he had ever said, showing that he took this experiment very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Boxed Lunch’s determination, the other team members stopped doubting and began to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, all the players removed their equipment, leaving only simple underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the earlier times, with the return of the elf warriors from the Flame Tribe, players now had other clothes besides their equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was simple underwear, at least players would no longer run around naked…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*It was a fact that showed when players streaked naked, the favor of NPC elves dropped the fastest.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightingale was stunned as she watched players hand over their equipment to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… What are you going to do? Sacrifice? You’re going to sacrifice the big spider? Sacrifice it to whom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were planning to sacrifice the big spider?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To sacrifice a living creature… Had they gotten acquainted with some Evil God?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t they the messengers of the Mother Goddess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, the Goddess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A player replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The… Mother Goddess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightingale was astounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait… you’re not serious, are you? Doing this will incur the wrath of the True God!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly said with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, it won’t, it won’t! I’m a Druid; I understand plant growth and development very well. The Goddess’s body is the World Tree, currently recovering. These spiders contain rich mineral elements, as well as nutrient-rich organics, making them excellent fertilizer. Sacrificing them to the Goddess will have a positive effect on Her recovery!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A player mischievously explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightingale: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Is… is that so?*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was somewhat bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*It sounded reasonable.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*But… something felt off.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, players were also ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You stand back a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boxed Lunch told Nightingale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightingale nodded reflexively and moved away from where the players were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until she had walked far away that she suddenly realized,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! The Mother Goddess is not an Evil God!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the players could no longer hear her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Main tank, lure the monsters, bring the big one out. Hu Lu, be ready to pray. Druid, prepare to control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nightingale had moved away, Boxed Lunch commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his orders, the Elf tank warrior in the team nodded solemnly and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other players were visibly tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu looked excited, kneeling before the array, holding his breath, ready to recite the sacrificial words at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Elf warrior player reached the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and roared loudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spider Sun Thief! Grandpa’s here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After yelling, he picked up a rock, aimed at a giant figure in the cave, and hurled it fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a “smack,” the rock hit the spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, countless scarlet eyes turned to look over, including four pairs of huge “red lanterns”…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by rustling sounds, all the spiders swarmed out, charging at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant spider that had been hit also let out a low hiss, following suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing all this, the Elf warrior’s scalp tingled, and he turned to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiders chased after him, showing no sign of stopping until they caught him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*That was the Demon Beast’s predatory instinct!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the monsters being lured out, all the players were excited, hearts pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elf warrior looked solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran to the center of the sacrifice array and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Cave Spiders moved swiftly, quickly catching up and surrounding the Elf warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even that giant spider followed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the players’ shocked gazes, the Elf warrior player was bitten and torn by the spiders, the scene was gruesome…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the spiders noticed Hu Lu on the other side of the array and began rushing towards him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Earth Cave Spiders charging at Hu Lu, the Druid player, hidden on the side, instantly cast a prepared control spell, slowing their movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Lu took a deep breath, knelt before the sacrifice array, and prayed swiftly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise Mother Nature, praise the Life Goddess, praise the great Elf Ruler—Eve Yggdrasil! Beautiful and noble Goddess, we have found exquisite offerings and wish to sacrifice them to You!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the words were spoken, the entire array suddenly emitted a bright glow!\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","837f623c5d1fe38590fc66339ad57c7a30103aada41046474d3c71ce4af0fc71","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-166","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-164",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
