Game of the World Tree

Chapter 158 The Nest

In the winding and deep mine tunnel, Bento moved forward vigilantly with his battle team.

It was an abandoned mine road they found leading into the depths of the Dark Mountains, and the entrance was an abandoned forge in Rivendell.

The mine road is paved with tracks, similar to the railway on the Blue Star, but if you look carefully, you can vaguely see some magical patterns that have lost their effect.

On both sides of the mine road are smooth rock walls, and at intervals there is an old magic lamp, but it has been destroyed over the millennia.

Occasionally, some skeletons can be seen on the road, and they are still wearing tattered clothes. They are elves that were not able to escape when Rivendell was destroyed overnight thousands of years ago.

These poor elven remains are not uncommon in Rivendell.

And whenever the players found the remains of the elves, they would go forward excitedly and scavenge the things on them.

But today... the lunch team has restrained a lot.

Even if they saw the remains of the elf, they would just come to the corpse collectively and observe three minutes of silence.

After that, they prayed again in a decent manner, and said a few words as if to themselves—

"Rest in peace, mate, I will bring your relics back to the Forest of Spirits."

……some type of.

Then... the players put away the elf remains with sad faces, and put them into the backpacks that the flame tribe elf helped them weave.

In short, the team members have a lot of rules, as if they are really elves.

The entire mine road was dark and deep, terribly silent, and the players could only hear their own footsteps.

The background music of the system has been completely turned off under the order of Bento, because it is close to the deepest part of Rivendell, and it is not safe, and small crypt spiders can often be seen alone.

"Bentou is big, are you sure we can find the ore veins when we walk along here?"

During the march, the elf mage in the team, a player named Hulu asked curiously.

"Sure, it's all mine roads, and there must be mineral veins at the end."

Before Bento could answer, another player replied.

"However, other people thought the same thing before, walking along the mine road, the end is either blocked, or there is a depleted vein of mine, and there is nothing."

Hulu continued to mutter.

After listening to the lunch, he was silent for a while, and said:

"There are many spiders in this vein."

"Will more monsters have mines?"

Gourd asked again.

This time, without waiting for Bento to answer, a clear and somewhat disgusting voice rang out:

"Stupid! Ore is also a kind of food for crypt spiders. Since there are many spiders here, it must mean that there are ore veins!"

gourd:……

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It was none other than the elf NPC they rescued, Nightingale Shadow.

After knowing that the lunch team was going to explore Rivendell, the elf girl was babbling and must keep up...

And it is precisely the existence of this NPC that players are afraid of losing their goodwill, so they have to restrain a lot when searching for elf relics.

"alright, I got it."

Gourd sighed.

He looked at the lunch box, and then at Nightingale, with a strange expression:

"I understand the truth, but...why let her follow us?"

Hulu pointed to someone.

"Cut, where do I go is my freedom! Besides, you may need my help when you explore Rivendell!"

Nightingale curled her lips and puffed out her chest proudly.

After accepting Eve's belief, the racial curse on her body was also broken, and her strength was instantly improved, and she directly crossed to the middle of black iron.

Therefore, even in the face of these powerful candidates, she still has some confidence.

After listening to her words, Hulu shook his head helplessly:

"Hey...you don't understand. If you really want to encounter something terrible, we're fine, you're done."

When Nightingale heard this, she raised her eyebrows suspiciously.

She was about to ask something when the low voice of the lunch box suddenly came:

"There is a situation, be quiet."

For a time, all the players' faces became serious.

And Nightingale was also refreshed.

She cautiously held her machete—the one she had touched from the human mercenary that day.

Everyone fell into silence.

At this time, they vaguely heard a rustling sound.

Bento hesitated for a while, then turned to look at Nightingale, and said in a low voice:

"You go to the end of the line. If it's dangerous, run away."

Seeing his serious expression, Nightingale twitched the corner of her mouth:

"I don't want it! You are not leaving, why should I leave?"

Box lunch: …

He was silent for a while, and said:

"We can be resurrected if we die, but you can't."

After speaking, he turned his head and continued to lead the team forward.

"Can... revive?"

Nightingale was stunned, and subconsciously stopped...

The players didn't stop.

They didn't explain anything, but walked more carefully and more quietly.

Nightingale stayed for a while, and after a while, she came to her senses and quickly caught up with the team.

This time, she obediently walked last, talking to herself as she walked:

"Resurrection...what do you mean?"

The lunch box took the team and kept moving forward.

And as the crowd advanced, the rustling sound became louder and louder.

They turned a corner and finally came to the end of the mine road...

And when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, everyone's pupils could not help shrinking slightly.

At the end of the mine road is a huge cave.

In the cave, there are countless crypt spiders gathered.

They are gathered together, densely packed, thousands, and their scarlet eyes are like lanterns in the dark... It makes your scalp tingle when you look at them.

Among them, most of them are small crypt spiders, but there are also many large ones.

Even deeper, players faintly see a guy who seems to be about the same size as the giant spider guarding the entrance to the underground world...

Here... it turned out to be a crypt spider's lair!

For a while, everyone took a deep breath.

"Sleeping..."

Hulu subconsciously wanted to utter foul language, but he quickly endured it.

Bento's face was grim.

He waved his hand and made a retreat.

Everyone held their breath and began to slowly back away.

At this time, a player accidentally tripped over a stone while stepping back, and a spider leg in his backpack fell out.

The metal-like spider legs hit the ground with a crisp sound.

The sound of "ding dong" is incomparably clear in the mine road...
