Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

They still have many items not bound to the temple yet; if they die here, it would be a huge loss.

Ye Ye tore the scroll, a dazzling light blossomed in his hand, and the world turned dim.

In the sky, terrifying meteors burning with flames slowly appeared...

Instantly, the sky turned into a sea of fire.

Ye Ye was stunned.

Nai Nai was stunned.

The other two players were also stunned.

Nine-circles magic spell [Meteor Shower]!

This is a terrifying magic spell no less powerful than legendary magic, capable of destroying a small town!

And upon realizing what magic this scroll contained, the players’ expressions changed dramatically.

The range of Meteor Shower is too large.

Now, not only the demon beasts, but also the players and this small patch of forest are all enveloped within it.

Undoubtedly, this hit, everyone is doomed.

"Oh crap! You damn scroll thrower!"

Nai Nai, who usually doesn’t curse, couldn’t help but swear.

However, just as the meteors were about to fall, a towering figure suddenly appeared in front of the players and the dragon descendant magical beast.

It was a giant over thirty meters tall, with a strong physique and a bare upper body.

The giant extended his right fist and punched towards the sky.

With a punch, visible energy waves spread from the giant’s fist, like radiating sound waves, shooting straight into the sky.

When the energy wave hit the meteors, the massive burning objects slightly trembled, and then in a booming explosion, they all turned to dust...

In that moment, the entire sky blossomed into dazzling "fireworks," producing a deafening noise.

In an instant, all the meteors vanished into smoke.

And the energy wave from that punch continued to soar upwards, shattering patches of clouds, forming a vortex in the sky...

In the next moment, the entire sea of clouds in the sky was pushed to the distance, revealing a clear blue sky.

Witnessing this scene, the players were all stunned.

"So... powerful!"

"Wait, is that... the Titan Giant?!"

Seeing the giant’s appearance, identical to the legendary Titan Giant, the druid player couldn’t help but exclaim.

At this moment, everyone carefully observed the giants who intervened suddenly, their eyes full of astonishment.

The rumors... are true!

Near here, there really is a Titan Giant, thought to be extinct in legends!

The Nine-circles Magic Meteor Shower was shattered by a Titan Giant with a single punch, and at the same time, the dragon descendant magical beast, burning its bloodline, seemed to have reached its limit.

It didn’t manage to win, slowly falling down, eyes full of unwillingness, on the verge of death.

At this moment, the towering Titan Giant slowly withdrew its gaze, extinguished the forest fire with a wave, and looked at the dazed players.

"In the forest... do not use... fire magic."

He shook his head slightly.

It was Elven language, and very pure too.

The players paused and then all nodded.

They exchanged glances, and Ye Ye finally stepped forward, bowing to the Titan Giant, saying:

"Sorry... it was my mistake, thank you for your help."

After speaking, he anxiously but curiously glanced at the giant, and respectfully asked:

"We are elf adventurers on a quest to slay the beast attacking the village, may I ask... are you a Titan Giant?"

In the game background, Titan Giants are extinct, yet here, they witnessed an existence identical to the legendary Titan Giants.

This made the group of players’ hearts race, wondering if they had triggered some storyline.

The giant did not answer Ye Ye’s question but instead squatted down in front of the dragon descendant magical beast, checking its injuries.

Seeing his actions, the players exchanged glances.

However, just when they thought he was treating the magical beast as prey, the suspected Titan Giant took out a jar from his arms, poured out some powder, fed it to the dying beast, and said under the players’ astonished gaze:

"Dragon Hawk... gentle nature... would not attack the village."

Gentle?

The way it went berserk just now didn’t seem gentle!

The players couldn’t help but retort in their hearts.

At this moment, the giant pointed towards the cave behind the dragon descendant magical beast:

"It... is protecting... the children."

Children?

The players paused, couldn’t help but look toward the cave.

With the dragon descendant magical beast gone, the inside of the cave was exposed before their eyes, under the [Hawkeye] skill, they indeed saw several young creatures whose eyes had not yet opened.

The beast resembles what the giants call a Dragon Hawk, only it lacks many dragon scales and feathers.

The players suddenly understood why they were attacked as soon as they entered the realm.

Oh, no, looking back now, it seems less like a pursuit, more like being driven away, as the other side lost interest once they left, but they chose to return to complete the quest.

But then, why was the village attacked? It still has arrows on its body!

Could it be that a child was abducted, prompting a rescue mission?

The players couldn’t help but speculate, filling in many details in their minds.

They didn’t doubt the giant’s words, as the other side demonstrated immense strength, possibly even surpassing their leader, potentially akin to Aurora or Eris as a Demigod. There was no need to deceive them.

So... What’s the deal with this quest?

The players looked at each other in confusion.

The giant continued to heal the Dragon Hawk.

However, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper:

"The injury... is too severe."

"Sorry, we don’t actually know the exact cause."

Ye Ye said apologetically.

After speaking, he took out his healing Magic Potion:

"I have some healing potions here, let’s use them for it."

"No."

The giant shook his head.

"It’s not... the injury."

He said.

"Not the injury?"

The players were stunned.

The giant pointed at the Dragon Hawk’s darkened organs:

"It’s... poison."

He then looked toward the Druid among the players:

"I need... a seven-leaf clover."

A seven-leaf clover, a common magical plant in Segis World with some detoxifying effects.

The Druid player paused, then scratched his head:

"Ah... I don’t have any on me right now, but... I’ll go find some."

With that, he jogged away from the secluded valley.

The players were accustomed to cooperating with friendly NPCs to advance the game plot.

"We’ll go too!"

The remaining players followed suit.

The group quickly headed into the forest, and upon seeing his teammates follow, the Druid player said:

"I just used [Nature’s Whisper], about two kilometers away should be a patch of seven-leaf clover meadow, let’s go there and gather some!"

"Hey, that’s great, Druid!"

Ye Ye couldn’t help but praise.

The group quickly started moving, following the Druid player to the target location. Elves are naturally adept in forests, and this forest’s terrain wasn’t too rugged, so they arrived quickly.

It was an open-air meadow of seven-leaf clovers, verdant and lush, making the players’ eyes shine with excitement.

Not only to aid the Dragon Hawk, but collecting these herbs could fetch a good amount of money.

The players quickly began harvesting with enthusiasm.

After gathering several bunches of seven-leaf clovers, the Druid player said:

"Give me the gathered seven-leaf clovers first, I’ll deliver these to the giant for detoxifying, you continue collecting the rest here, once done, we’ll regroup."

"Okay."

The players nodded.

They handed the gathered herbs to the Druid player, who prepared to head back.

At that moment, a cry resembling a child’s wail suddenly came from the sky.

A massive shadow loomed over the players.

They looked up, only to see a colossal beast charging towards them...

A vulture-like head, lion-like body, enormous wings, and a shimmering coat of dragon scales.

A ferocious Dragon Descendant Griffin, over fifteen meters in size.

The powerful aura of an Upper Gold erupted, its eyes filled with bloodlust, the expression of a predator.

It opened its large mouth, spraying a corrosive venom at the players...

Black venom quickly enveloped the players, overwhelming them before they could react.

As the venom contacted their bodies, numbness swiftly spread to their limbs.

In the final moment before their consciousness faded into darkness, the players finally realized the identity of the Dragon Descendant Magical Beast that attacked the village.
