Chapter 716: The Second World – Chasing the Deer

"Elf King...."

The hermit Bu Tui was enveloped in starlight; this is his profession's passive Survival Skill. Though only level ten, the skill still took effect, so he wasn't instantly killed.

He stared dumbfounded at a human old man transforming into a handsome elf clad in noble, exquisite robes, with that string of titles on his head, and he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Defeat without grievance..."

Swish~

As the invincibility period ended, the vines strangled again.

Bu Tui also turned into white light.

"???"

Su Sheng and all members of Yan Huang stared dumbfounded at that old scholar... at this moment he should be called the Elf King.

This is the genuine Elf King, a former overlord-level being, not like the Tie Chui Airen, the later Jin dwarf king.

"Explorer, how? Don't recognize me?"

YiSiLanDiEr gave a gentle smile.

"Gurgle~"

"Just didn't expect..."

Su Sheng had always thought the old scholar was just a human elder, but didn't expect he was actually a great deity!

Moreover, this great deity had actually settled directly in his own base!

That means, at the hundred-level stage... no, even throughout the entire game stage, nothing could almost threaten his base's existence!

"Hehe..."

YiSiLanDiEr seemed to read Su Sheng's thoughts: "Explorer, don't get your hopes up; I'm just a scrappy survivor now, old man."

"Furthermore, as the Elf King, our power all stems from the Elf Mother Tree, the Life Tree, but now the Life Tree has vanished, the elves' breath in the world is almost extinct, and all my power is like rootless duckweed."

"Before the Primordial Tree grew, my power was a bit... less."

YiSiLanDiEr looked at the Primordial Tree before him with great emotion.

Su Sheng was stunned for a moment, then recovered: "YiSiLanDiEr, under your crown you can safely tend the Primordial Tree here; this was a one‑off accident, there won't be a next time!"

Though a bit disappointed, Su Sheng didn't lose heart; YiSiLanDiEr's very existence was something Su Sheng hadn't anticipated.

Moreover, no one else knew YiSiLanDiEr's condition; Bu Tui had seen YiSiLanDiEr in full, so now everyone likely knows that Yan Huang Base harbors a pseudo Overlord-level boss.

Ordinary players can forget it, but the big guilds will have to consider whether to move against Yanhuang Town.

"Fine, go attend to your business."

YiSiLanDiEr waved: "Explorer, after you're done, come find this old man of mine for a chat."

Then YiSiLanDiEr's whole form reverted to the previous human elder appearance.

Su Sheng nodded.

"Charge forward, clean up the remaining enemies!"

Su Sheng swung his hand broadly!

The allied main force here was completely slaughtered by YiSiLanDiEr.

The rest was self‑evident.

Outside the city walls on the other side, Diànfēng and others had already been scattered by the hidden dragon with war puppets; though they still had a fight's worth of strength, the main troops were defeated, so staying behind meant nothing.

Instead of needless casualties, a direct retreat was better.

Anyway, the failure wasn't their fault; their mission was merely to hold back part of Yan Huang's forces.

Don't worry about the battle situation; just ask whether they held them back!

This is under the condition that Yan Huang now has a pseudo Commander-level boss.

Anyway, no matter how they shift blame for the failure, it can't land on them.

But it's pseudo Overlord-level.

Yan Huang Base will probably be untouchable from now on.

Diànfēng the War God smacked his lips and led his men to retreat.

Chu Ge's exploits are beyond mention; he was already half‑dead.

"Frog fun, we won."

"Never thought Yan Huang could pull off a comeback against the wind?!"

"This is almost the whole server's power, right? The universe side has good relations, so it can't be counted..."

"What whole‑server power? We solo players surged forward... Hehe..."

"You call us solo players, how could we possibly unite?"

"Hehe, brothers above, I'll give you another chance to organize your words... Latest news... the reason Yan Huang's comeback this time is..."

"What the heck?! Pseudo Overlord-level?! Damn, this is invincible!"

"What invincibility? That's just a settled resident; as long as they don't attack Yan Huang Base, the NPCs won't aid Yan Huang."

"How did they do it? Mo Wen Qianchen said it wasn't opened, I can hardly believe it."

"Enough, I've filed a complaint!"

There are always some envious types.

The onlookers around were also buzzing with talk, but most solo players were quite delighted.

The stability of Yan Huang Base is beneficial to them.

Because the allied troops are many‑mouthed, only Bu Tui saw the true form.

However, the battle logs of the players slain by YiSiLanDiEr still show YiSiLanDiEr's information.

Under these circumstances, it is impossible to conceal the existence of YiSiLanDiEr.

Of course, Teng Long Company received quite a few complaints on their end.

After all, the player base is large, so there are all kinds of people.

But regarding the existence of YiSiLanDiEr, it is completely legitimate; no matter how you investigate, there is no bug.

Teng Long Company's officials soon gave a response.

Explanation regarding the existence of a pseudo-overlord-level boss in the Yan Huang base.

Yan Huang players are not cheating; everything exists in a reasonable and compliant manner.

Once again, we declare that the Zhu Lu world is vast beyond compare; you can completely treat the Zhu Lu world as a digital second world, and the Zhu Lu world itself has its own developmental trajectory.

Only what you cannot think of — nothing is impossible!

If you have enough opportunity, directly taming an overlord-level boss as a pet is also not impossible.

Faced with Teng Long Company's announcement, everyone fell silent.

They've already said it to this extent.

What else is there to say?

The guild war lasted only six or seven hours in total before ending.

However, for the remaining time today, the Yan Huang base is not open; it is undergoing repairs.

Su Sheng inquired about the situation over at the Universe.

It is obvious that no fight broke out.

As the battle on our side ended, the guilds besieging the Universe over there directly retreated.

"Really surprising, Mo Wen Da Lao — the pseudo-overlord-level boss is actually a resident of your base!"

Shen Xiao's is full of a sour taste.

"Pure coincidence; I didn't expect this either."

Su Sheng helplessly shook his head.

Actually, in that situation, the overall situation was already decided.

Su Sheng eliminated most of the experts with a single strike, and when they were teleporting in, the people at the respawn point had already broken through the Primordial Chaos seal.

One only needs to wait a bit; even if YiSiLanDiEr does not appear, victory can still be obtained.

But unfortunately, those guys from the Shenhua Guild actually attacked the Primordial Tree...

Isn't this basically asking for death?

The Primordial Tree is practically YiSiLanDiEr's heart's treasure now.

Originally, when Su Sheng did not know YiSiLanDiEr's identity, he had no such thought; the Primordial Tree was at most just a research project for an old scholar.

But now...

Hehe...
