The seventh one!

Bosan took a deep breath and pulled his scimitar out of the goblin’s throat.

The tactile sensation of the blade cutting through flesh was so real, accompanied by the spray of warm, bloody mist that splattered all over his head and face.

He had not chosen the [Combat Screen Harmony] option in the game system.

Unlike many players who couldn’t adapt to the gore, he loved the feeling of close-quarters killing in the game, as if he were on a battlefield wrestling with criminals.

...

*This gave him a sense of freedom and nostalgia he couldn’t obtain in reality.*

Especially after he advanced to level 11 Black Iron Lower, transitioned to become a Hunter, and gained the [Stealth] skill.

Wiping the blade gently on his hempen clothing, Bosan frowned.

It was slightly blunted.

The scimitars obtained from goblins were much sharper than wooden swords, but their durability seemed to be less.

Of course, Bosan didn’t know that it was because the wooden sword was personally crafted by Eve, which, although not sharp enough, was more robust and durable.

He discarded the scimitar in his hand and replaced it with another he had taken from a previously slain goblin.

Then he lifted his head and glanced around.

The elf’s body granted Bosan excellent night vision capabilities, allowing everything in Feilengcui to be clearly reflected in his eyes, even at night.

The goblins had all been awakened and were now being chased and hacked by more than seventy players who had transitioned to Black Iron Lower.

The gap brought about by the change in rank was indeed terrifying.

In the afternoon, players needed to cooperate in groups of two or three to exhaust a single goblin, but after rising to Black Iron, with enhanced physical qualities and skill fortification, goblins were not a match for the players one-on-one.

Even the relatively timid female players, after using the [Thrust] skill, would charge in with their “ahhh!!!” screams of both fear and excitement…

Then, without even realizing it, they would stab those goblins, who had no time or chance to react, right through, and with a scream as the blood showered them, their cries grew even louder.

Not to mention those battle-crazy and hardcore players who were gradually adapting to the combat rhythm.

For them, tonight, Feilengcui had become the best playground and hunting ground.

Bosan shook his head and once again activated the [Stealth] skill.

With a thought, his heartbeat and breathing immediately slowed, and his entire presence gradually faded away, almost merging into the darkness…

He was going to hunt down the last goblin priest.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it had just escaped toward the temple.

He wasn’t the only player with the same idea; those participating in the priest’s slaying were also heading toward the temple.

A priest’s contribution value was worth five goblins!

Even the experience points provided by slaying a priest were much higher than those from ordinary goblins.

Moreover, from the current scenario, they were much weaker than the previous world bosses, practically a free offering.

What’s more, according to the task info provided by the Goddess, the temple was the most likely place for Divine Blood Crystals to drop!

Each piece of Divine Blood Crystal was worth 800 contribution points!

The players, driven by their desire for experience and contribution points, swarmed toward the rundown temple…

…

In the temple, the lone goblin priest kneeled and prostrated in prayer under the statue of the God of Winter and Hunting.

As it prayed, the light on the statue grew stronger and stronger, even the twenty-six Divine Blood Crystals before it began to emit a faint halo.

Under the goblin priest’s feet, a mysterious giant circular array slowly formed, with silver brilliance continuously weaving patterns…

When the players burst into the temple, this was exactly what they saw.

“Divine Blood Crystals! So many Divine Blood Crystals!”

They brightened with excitement and shouted.

However, Bosan, who stealthily entered, saw more.

He glanced at the array on the ground, his expression gradually becoming grave.

*This was… a sacrificial array?*

His memory was always quite sharp.

When Oak Guardian Basa sacrificed the Skull Wand to the Goddess Eve, he had silently watched from the side, barely imprinting an impression of the array’s form.

And the array under the goblin priest, though slightly different from the one Barsa drew, was almost identical overall.

Almost in an instant, Bosan pieced everything together.

“It’s a sacrificial array! No good! Everyone, stop it! It’s trying to sacrifice the Divine Blood Crystals to the Divine!”

At the same time, Li Mu’s urgent cry rang out from the temple entrance.

Clearly, this seasoned streamer had also recognized the sacrificial array beneath the priest.

“Sacrificial array?”

The players were shocked upon hearing this.

“No, stop it quickly!”

“Where are the ranged skills? Use ranged skills quickly!”

“Destroy that array quickly!”

Almost simultaneously, all the ranged players began throwing skills onto the ground recklessly.

Under the goblin priest’s terrified gaze, fireballs, wind blades, lightning strikes, vines… every single offensive spell it could think of was coming its way.

Accompanied by a thunderous “boom,” the slate floor shattered under the magical onslaught, and the array, which was almost formed, was instantly destroyed. Even the goblin priest at the array’s center, due to magical backlash, spat a mouthful of fresh blood, its body instantly aged…

However, although the array was damaged, the light on the statue did not diminish; on the contrary, it became increasingly intense.

The players barely had time to rejoice over destroying the array when they heard a majestic and divine cold snort…

“Hmph——!”

That sound was deafening, ethereal, as if it crossed the void, bearing endless wrath from being offended.

Everyone was briefly dazed, their minds dizzy, and faint streaks of blood emerged from their noses and ears…

Even Bosan, who was lurking, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, falling out of his stealth state.

“What… just happened?”

“Could it be a triggered boss?”

“Cough cough… Damn, my health bar dropped by half… cough cough…”

The players stumbled all over, coughing blood, trying hard to open their eyes wide while vigilantly looking at the statue at the temple’s center.

Suddenly, the light on the statue became even more dazzling, while the twenty-six Divine Blood Crystals scattered on the ground began to float slowly, seemingly drawn, moving toward the statue…

In the players’ eyes of shock, the Divine Blood Crystals and the statue started gradually merging, blossoming with dazzling light!

Amidst the growing oppressive aura, the light continuously expanded, eventually forming into a semi-transparent Energy Giant composed of intertwined golden-green photons…

The figure was vague, with a muscular body, wielding a giant axe and a longbow…

His appearance bore an eighty to ninety percent resemblance to the Uller statue!
