This is a hidden BOSS mission!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mount system! Is the mount system finally going to be activated?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down… that’s the reward for winning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Spider Empress… was it provoked by Hu Lu and the others? A living sacrifice? Could it be that Hu Lu and the others sacrificed the Earth Cave Spider?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy crap! That’s really possible! This spider’s shell is metallic, the sacrifice system would surely devour it! Why didn’t I think of that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! That’s why they’re being chased? Look! There are thousands of spiders chasing them! I’m dying of laughter, it’s the first time I’ve seen Big Boss Hu Lu run away so pathetically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… did the officials patch up the loophole in the living sacrifice system?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They definitely have to patch it up! Otherwise, if we just sacrifice every time we encounter a BOSS, what’s the point of this game?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No living sacrifices… so what if we encounter an undead BOSS or something else in the future, can we still sacrifice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft… you’re really something! But the array doesn’t swallow everything, does it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa! I wonder if we can still sell scrap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scrap should still be sellable, right? That seems to be the official recycling mechanism, otherwise they would have patched it a long time ago. I guess it’s mostly left as a benefit for players?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the new mission prompt, players instantly didn’t panic anymore, discussing excitedly while avoiding the spider’s attacks…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden BOSS mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with a successful completion, players are rewarded with the mount system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mount! Is the mount going online?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All players exploring Rivendell were ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the mount would be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pretty much figured it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s likely going to be the Earth Cave Spider!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small Earth Cave Spider is fine, but honestly, a human-sized Earth Cave Spider still looks quite imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that’s from a player’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ordinary native creatures of Segis World saw it, it wouldn’t be imposing but horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the system gave its evaluation of the spider BOSS’s strength, it still startled the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 100! Upper Gold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when Uller’s Divine Power incarnation descended, and Demigod Walker took action, the system didn’t give a level evaluation for the BOSS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former’s strength was limited, its health bar was visible, and in battle, its health dropped, so players weren’t afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the latter, it didn’t have a health bar indicated either but didn’t engage the players directly, instead being directly taken away by the Goddess’s binding play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such circumstances, although players knew they were definitely strong, possibly even stronger than the Spider Empress, they didn’t have an intuitive sense of level difference…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time… they truly experienced the terror of a higher-echelon existence directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This enormous Earth Cave Spider was like a Godzilla Giant Monster with a group of minions, rampaging forward, crushing unfortunate souls underfoot or stringing them together…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the system task, some brave players turned to attack it, but it was to no effect, like scratching an itch for the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, these attacks further enraged the Spider Empress, and the players who attempted to fight it immediately attracted its attention, being chased and skewered like candied haws…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the players died, the Spider Empress’s slender, spider legs were left with a string of humanoid equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hu Lu and the elf warrior took the chance to escape further away…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing it lost its target, the Spider Empress let out an angry, sharp screech again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Earth Cave Spiders instantly became intensely frenzied, launching fierce attacks on players scattered throughout Rivendell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Berserk! This hidden BOSS has gone berserk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is too fierce! Soon the entire Rivendell will be turned upside down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t defeat it, quickly summon the goddess’s incarnation according to the task prompt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crap! But do you know how to summon her? Who knows how to summon her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find El! The little lad is the Divine Favored of the Goddess! He can summon her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, players thought of the Divine Favored elf NPC—El Moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El Moonlight could summon the incarnation of the Goddess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick! Quick! Does anyone know where El is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He should be in Feilengcui, we can have Dema go call him, Dema has the highest favorability with him, reportedly over sixty points!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, I remember Dema bragging it was a hundred points before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did it drop? That guy always seeks trouble… By the way, where’s Dema?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also in Feilengcui. I saw him when I went to find Forging Master Carlos, heard he’s been working there regularly to gain favor lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft… constantly grinding favor, that guy is so pitiful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, contact Dema!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players acted quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the system task, they burst with unprecedented enthusiasm, and soon someone reached Dema through the friend chat list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hidden mission trigger only displayed detailed information directly to players within a certain range; players elsewhere could only see a brief “So-and-so triggered a hidden BOSS mission” quick prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if one opened the detailed content of the message, one could still see specific information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Dema, who was at Feilengcui scrubbing toilets for the elf NPCs, didn’t have the time for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already found a way to quickly increase his favorability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he kept his mouth shut and helped the elves with some dirty and tiring work, he could save some face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing the task’s content, Dema immediately perked up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy crap! The mount system?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put down his tools, washed his hands, then excitedly rushed out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“El! El! Something big happened in Rivendell! For the smooth recapture of the Elf Clan’s city, we need your help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Dema and the little lad El arrived in Rivendell via the Teleportation Array, it was already half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this half hour, players were entangled with the Spider Empress and its army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever Hu Lu did, that giant spider was utterly furious, clearly intent on not stopping until it killed all the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, almost all players were killed once, but they feared everyone perishing would cause the monster to disengage, resulting in a task failure, so they all rushed back through the Teleportation Array immediately after death…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, their entanglement wasn’t attacking the opponent but running around the map, drawing its fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When El and Dema arrived, what they saw was this chaotic and comical scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One slender spider leg of the Spider Empress was already strung with equipment, and it switched to another leg to skewer elf haw…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Divine Favored El had arrived, all the players became excited:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the little lad! He’s here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great! We can summon the incarnation of the Goddess now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally, someone’s here! I’ve already been skewered twice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord El! This Spider Empress is too powerful! At this rate, the entire ruins of Rivendell will be completely destroyed by it, please quickly summon the incarnation of the Goddess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! This is a level 100 big BOSS! Please summon the incarnation of the Goddess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spider Empress? Level 100?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was just one step away from the legendary tier, Upper Gold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young elf drew a cold breath, his face serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El looked at the Chosen Ones scurrying to escape under the spider’s attack, then at Rivendell, further ravaged by the spider horde, and he nodded seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand… but waiting for the response from Her Majesty the Mother Goddess might take some time. Please hold on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finished speaking, he kneeled down, drew a tree symbol on his chest, closed his eyes, and started to pray devoutly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Praise Mother Nature, praise the Life Goddess, praise the great elven dominator—Eve Yggdrasil! Your supreme majesty, Mother Goddess, your devout child—El Moonlight, requests your descent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With El’s prayer, his body suddenly began to radiate brilliant Holy Light, a gentle and sacred power continuously gathering around him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perceiving something, the Spider Empress chasing players in Rivendell stopped suddenly, growling softly, seemingly a bit anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless army of Earth Cave Spiders also paused, gradually converging towards the Spider Empress, shielding their mother…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly expanded from El, illuminating the deep gorge of Rivendell, ethereal sacred chants faintly echoing, sparking all players with a sudden urge to bow down…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, they became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this meant the Goddess had received El’s prayer and was now focusing on this place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Goddess is coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! You’re done for, spider brats!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the illumination of the Holy Light, all the Earth Cave Spiders began to tremble, seemingly losing their sense of direction under the light, fleeing in terror…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spider Empress also let out a screech tinged with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned its body, moving its eight slender spider legs awkwardly as it retreated towards the cave from which it had emerged…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, is it really that cowardly? It’s trying to escape!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t let it run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Spider Insect Queen try to escape, the players exploded with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with their strength, they had no way to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t need to stop it either…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All players heard a cold scoff echo in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was crisp, majestic, divine, carrying an unapproachable and inviolable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They recognized it. It was the voice of Eve, the Goddess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two golden Divine Locks suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wrapped tightly around the Spider Empress just as it was about to escape into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the radiant light converged in front of it, finally forming a figure clad in the Holy Divine Dress, adorned with a crown of flowers and plants, wielding a magnificent scepter, her entire being enveloped in glistening Holy Light…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Goddess!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her visage was as peerlessly beautiful as always, further exuding a divine and inviolable majesty under the blur of the Holy Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All players widened their eyes, excitedly admiring the Goddess’s heroic posture:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The incarnation of the Goddess has descended!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These effects are as glorious as ever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! We’re going to win!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected of the Goddess, even just an incarnation instantly controlled the BOSS!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eve Goddess is the best!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cheered enthusiastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the illumination of the light, the Spider Empress huddled into a ball, trembling while letting out low growls of fear…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Goddess lightly raised her slender arm, placed her fair palm on the Spider Empress’s massive head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Submit… or die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her majestic and divine voice was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she were stating something natural, with no concern for the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>",1773,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba109f45e742aea3659b25cc83deeb2fc1ea95f27e310d48160816df7dcbd768","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-171","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-169",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
