Game of the World Tree - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chopping Melons and Vegetables
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

One kilometer away from the ruins of Florence, more than 90 players who had formed 21 teams waited quietly.
Bribed by the loot, Demacia turned into his female version again to do the job of luring the goblins.
This time, he went a little deeper and lured a large group of goblins at once. In the group, there were three level 10 goblins, which were called elite goblins.
The scimitars and wooden sticks-wielding goblins croaked and chased after him in excitement.
Moreover, several goblins got bows and arrows. But when they were going to shoot, the elite goblins stopped them from doing so.
They wanted an intact humanoid female. It was best to catch her live without injury.
The goblins’ idea made Demacia’s honey trap smoother.
He lured the goblins to the forest clearing again and stopped.
While the goblins were assuming that this “female human” they chased was tired from running, nearly one hundred tall figures emerged from the surrounding grass all at once with a roar
El… Elf?
The group of goblins were stunned instantly.
“It’s goblins!”
“Goblins are coming!”
“One, two, three… a total of 18! One for each team! As for the elite monsters, two teams fight against one!”
“Come on! Let’s gang up on them!”
The elves seemed excited with their eyes red and their gasps loud. They wielded their wooden knives, shouted and rushed the goblins’ positions as if others would rob them of their monsters a second later.
The group of goblins were completely shell-shocked.
This… Where did these lunatic elves from?
How could there be so many elves in the forest of elves?! Weren’t they all gone?
Wait… Were these guys really those elegant, reserved and long-eared elves who were high up in the air?
The God of Hunting on high, were they mad?
The goblins wanted to escape, but they had already been surrounded by layers of players.
“Quick! Magicians use control skills to separate them! Offensive magic will do too!”
“Surround them! Surround them! The one over there is going to escape!”
“Damn! Don’t use area-of-effect skills! You will accidentally hurt your ally!”
The goblins were gradually separated under the interference of a series of distant magic and began to meet the encirclement of the players in parties.
If the five pioneer players had a hard time to combat three goblins previously, it would be a piece of cake for more than 90 players to fight against 18 green-skinned goblins.
With the predecessors’ strategy, the players had completely gone into a state of cooperation and confrontation.
Each party of players had found their own target. They took turns to go forward, slash once and run away without entanglement. If the goblin wanted to chase, it would be harassed by magic. If the goblin wanted to escape, control skills would be used to stop it…
Even if goblins had a lot of combat experience, they were no rivals to the players’ madness. More than ten minutes later, the players chopped the last goblin to death. The players only paid the price of a dozen minor injuries and one death for the victory.
The one player who had died was unfortunately killed by an ally player’s magic.
Even Li Mu and the other pioneers were shocked by the players’ power,
“Damn, you guys are really ferocious…”
The players were not satisfied,
“The scene is a bit bloody… But it’s so cool.”
“Not enough, not enough. 18 goblins provide too few experience points…”
“I only slash once…”
“Demacia, go to lure some more.”
Demacia choked.
“Hurry up and go. We will share the loot with you!”
“If we find a divine blood crystal, we will share the goddess’s rewards with you!”
The player said again.
On hearing this, Demacia instantly looked serious,
“You have to do what you say!”
“I’m going…”
Demacia shouted loudly, patted the little green dress on his body and headed for Florence again.
After a while, another group of goblins came, chasing him and croaking…
Another round of combat started.
With this method, the players started their task of destroying monsters near Florence.
As they fought, the coordination between them was getting increasingly better.
At first, one team fought against one goblin. Then one team fought against two goblins.
Afterwards, a team of level ten players could even fight against three elite goblins.
Perhaps each of them was still not as powerful as a goblin, but the battle was getting increasingly more rhythmic.
The division of labor among the players was clear, some luring the target, the others attacking it on the side. Each person only made one slash at a time and immediately fled. In this way, the goblin was drained to death…
Furthermore, the players enjoyed gaining experience points. They also looted the goblins’ relatively sharp scimitars. The smoother they fought, the happier they were… It even helped a dozen level nine players to level up directly to level ten.
With increasingly more goblins dead, the players also discovered the second divine blood crystal.
“A divine blood crystal! It’s a divine blood crystal! It’s our team that found it!”
The player lifting a pale green crystal said in excitement.
“Damn! You are lucky!”
“Which monster dropped it?”
“It was an elite goblin!”
The lucky player answered excitedly.
That was an unlucky goblin that had just collected a divine blood crystal from the forest. He was about to go back to the nest and give it to a priest, but was unfortunately lured by Demacia halfway to the city…
An elite goblin?
On hearing this, all the players’ eyes shone.
“It turns out to be a rare object that only elite goblins can drop…”
“The drop rate is too low. More than 90 people fought together and killed nearly one hundred goblins. Among them there were more than twenty elites. But there is only one divine blood crystal…”
“Bah, the drop rate is a pitfall again.”
“Damn the game designer.”
“Don’t complain, you guys! When I was looking for mysterious crystals in another online game previously, the drop rate was totally outrageous. To have to kill twenty elite goblins to drop one divine blood crystal is satisfactory.”
“Anyway, give me more elite goblins. I don’t believe that I cannot get more divine blood crystals today!”
“Where is the bait? Where is the bait?”
“Hey Demacia, hurry up and lure monsters! Lure more goblins here. Lure more elites!”
The players shouted.
Demacia, “…”
Seeing the players getting increasingly more enthusiastic and their combat effectiveness rising, Berserker, who observed secretly, was finally touched.
Confronted by goblins, the chosen ones showed solidarity and enthusiasm, which was far beyond his imagination!
In addition, the speed of their progress was incredible. Their enthusiasm for combat was also incredible.
What was even more touching was that although they were not Mother God’s believers, they were willing to fight for the goddess without fear!
At this moment, Berserker had faint respect for the players.
“Mother God, your wisdom left Berserker in awe.”
“I finally understood why you summoned them. These chosen ones may not be born warriors, but they have unlimited potential to grow into a powerful army! Although they are not your believers, they are more fanatic than ordinary believers!”
“However, they can never be chivalrous… Besides, they are greedy to a shameless extent.”
Looking at the players who almost fought for the scimitars dropped by the goblins, Berserker shook his head helplessly.
But Eve could understand them.
The wooden knives He created for the players were rough. Although the goblins’ scimitars were not of good quality, at least they were plundered from human caravans and made of metal which were infinitely sharper than the wooden knives they had.
For the players, all they wanted was better equipment.
Feeling the feedback of force from the players after they destroyed goblins, Eve was delighted.
“A total of 1.2 points of divine force.”
He thought happily.
Perhaps because these goblins had occupied elves’ holy city for a long time, the resentment of the elves’ ghosts fed back after the goblins were destroyed was considerable. In less than half a day, Eve’s investment in the players’ bodies was about to be repaid.
If He added the new divine blood crystal found by the players, He had already started to profit.
“Although it is still far away, I’m finally one step closer to having an avatar.”
Looking at His divine force that was close to 13 points, Eve thought of His goal of 100 points and comforted Himself.
He was already bored being in the background.
The players’ battle continued. As a large number of goblins in Florence started disappearing, the goblin priests in the ruins were finally aware that something was not right.
