"They're really attacking us!"
The group of elves flew in front of the human players. Without saying a word, they started attacking the players from afar.
"Retreat!"
The faces of the players at the front darkened. Their bodies moved, and they hurriedly retreated.
There weren't many elves. There were only two or three hundred of them. If there were two or three hundred monsters, the expert players could easily kill them.
However, the elves were different from the monsters on the road. They would work together to attack with arrows that covered a large area. If two or three hundred elves attacked together, the rain of arrows would cover the sky. If they really fought, the players could kill the elves. However, the players at the front would also suffer heavy casualties.
In order to reach the World Sea, the expert players would work together to help each other. However, it was impossible for them to block the arrows of the elves.
Not wanting to become the target of the elves, the players at the front quickly retreated. Of course, the players at the back wouldn't stay where they were.
Thousands of players were being chased by a group of Elves. Some of the slower players were unfortunately killed by the concentrated fire. However, this group of Elves didn't seem to have any intention of killing the players. They only took the initiative to retreat after the players ran out of a certain range.
"Looks like there's a problem with the elves' territory. They're now in a state of alert. If we pass by the elves' territory, we might be attacked!"
"Let's take a detour. It's better to go further than fighting with the elves. Those arrows aren't a joke."
A group of people stopped in their tracks, and a player analyzed.
Take a detour!
The group of people quickly came to a decision.
As long as they didn't pass by the elves' territory, they wouldn't be attacked. Taking a detour would take them three or four hours at most. Compared to the losses of fighting the elves, a few hours was nothing.
"Looks like something big happened in the elves' territory. Do you have any other ideas?"
In Blackbeard's team, Blackbeard glanced in the direction of the elves' territory and asked his teammates.
"Go inside. If we're lucky, we might be able to get some missions with good rewards. However, the missions are bound to be dangerous. Let's not complicate things for now. Let's deal with the World Sea first. If the World Sea mission is delayed because of the elves' territory, the losses will be too great."
A middle-aged warrior in the team said in a low voice.
"The World Sea mission is the most important. Even if the elven territory mission is rare, it's not like there aren't any in the game. The World Sea mission is the main storyline of this game." A white-robed female priest in the team also analyzed.
"Alright, since you all say so, then forget it." Blackbeard shrugged regretfully.
If he was alone, he would have gone if he wanted to, but this was a joint mission. He couldn't leave the others behind and run to the elves' territory.
…
"There's a problem in the Elf territory. If we go to the Elf territory, it's very likely that we'll receive a rare quest!"
"What about the expedition mission?"
"Expedition mission?
Why don't you think about how many people from China and the entire world are participating? To put it bluntly, 99% of us are just there to make up the numbers. It's almost impossible for us to get the rewards. Why don't we give up on the Expedition Mission and try our luck at the Elf Territory? As long as we can complete one or two Rare Missions, it'll be many times better than the Expedition Mission! "
"That's right, let's go to the elves' territory!"
Blackbeard and the others didn't plan to go to the Elf territory. However, many people knew that there was a problem in the Elf territory. Some of them decided to try their luck at the Elf territory after some discussion in the team.
There were many teams of players like this. In an instant, there were two to three hundred people who quietly left the team and moved towards the Elf territory according to the map.
"You're human adventurers!
Ah!
Don't run, I won't attack you. We're kind elves. There's a problem in the Elf territory and we need your help! "
Two to three hundred people left the team one after another. Seeing so many people leaving the team, some people couldn't help but be stunned.
However, when they thought about how dangerous it was to enter the Elf territory, it was good to have more people. After all, even if they wanted to receive a rare quest, they had to wait until they entered the Elf territory.
A group of people entered the Elf territory from a hidden forest. After walking in the forest for more than an hour, a few elves suddenly appeared in front of them.
When the group saw the elves, they were shocked and hurriedly wanted to retreat.
The elves on the other side were few in number. However, if they fought, the nearby elves would hear the news and come over. It was difficult for the two hundred of them to fight the elves head-on.
However, when the elves saw them, they shouted anxiously.
F * ck!
How could they be so lucky?
They met the elves who issued the quest as soon as they entered!
When they heard the elves' words, the group of people became spirited.
They didn't doubt the elves' words. After all, the previous elves didn't even say a word and directly attacked them. If these elves were in the same group as the previous elves, they wouldn't talk nonsense with them and would directly call their companions to attack them.
"What do you want us to help with?
We have so many people. Do you want all of us to help?
If that's the case, the reward won't be low. "A player stepped forward and asked.
"This is a matter that concerns the fate of our Elf race. As long as you can complete our request, all of you will receive a generous reward!"
A small elf the size of a palm pouted and said unhappily.
Such an important task?
The group of people suddenly became spirited.
Listening to the elf's words, it seemed that they could cooperate to complete the task. They had more than two hundred experts and each of them had rich combat and quest experience. They didn't believe that they couldn't complete a task if they worked together.
"Okay, if there's anything we can help with, just say it!"
A few people immediately stepped forward and said.
"It's like this …"
The elf stepped forward and said the content of the task. When the group of people heard the content of the task, they were all shocked.
"This task is a bit too difficult."
"If it's not difficult, why would they need to invite so many of us?
According to the content of the task, if we complete the task, it's equivalent to saving the Elf race. It's hard not to get a high reward! "
"Let's give it a try. Since it's a task, there's always a possibility of completing it!"
Facing the elf's request, the group of people discussed for a while. Although they felt that the task was very dangerous, they still decided to complete it.
There was no free lunch in the world. The task in front of them was difficult, but they could foresee how rich the reward would be after they completed it. As long as they completed it, the reward they would receive would surpass the expedition mission in minutes.
In particular, some of the archers in the group were even more in favor of it.
Among the players, there was a rumor that the Elf race had many powerful archery skills. If they could obtain these skills, they would become very powerful in an instant.
More than an hour later, the two hundred people followed the elf's instructions and arrived at an elf settlement.
This was a beautiful emerald forest. Elf wooden houses were built in the middle of green trees, and at the edge of the forest was a tall mountain wall. At the foot of the mountain wall, there were a few prison-like caves. The entrance of the caves was a sturdy iron door, and groups of elves could be faintly seen inside the caves.
This group of players quietly approached the caves, and it seemed that they wanted to release the elves.
"Quick!
Release them, and we'll complete the task! "
The elf gave them a rescue mission. After the group of people learned the content of the task, they felt that the only way to complete the task was to sneak in and rescue the imprisoned elves.
"Be careful, these iron pillars have warning magic on them!
We have to think of a way to secretly release them. "
The group of people were all good at this task, so they did not rashly come into contact with the iron door.
"Great, it must be the reinforcements that Nicole and the others invited!"
When the imprisoned elves in the caves saw the group of people appear, they were very excited.
"Oh no, it seems that we've been discovered!"
However, before they could rejoice, a large number of elves flew out of the elf settlement.
When the group of players who had sneaked in saw the group of elves behind them, their faces could not help but darken.
"Let's fight it out with them and kill our way out!"
Someone said fiercely.
Some people thought that since they had been discovered, they would take the opportunity to attack the iron door and release the imprisoned elves.
However, after attacking twice, they realized that it would take them at least ten minutes to break through the defense of the iron door.
"Kill our way out first!"
When the group of people saw this, they all gritted their teeth and decided to leave this place first before making any plans.
The expert players who dared to come to the elf settlement were not weak. When they attacked with all their might, their killing power was also very high.
Although there were more than 200 Elves surrounding them, the players were still able to break through the encirclement like a hot knife through butter. Even if some of them died, it was not a problem for the large group to break through and leave the Elven encirclement.
However, at this moment, in the distant sky, a huge arrow was shot toward the human players who were trying to break through!
"Be careful!"
Looking at the black arrow that was as thick as a thigh and surrounded by a thick black aura, the group of experts' faces changed.
This unusually sharp arrow gave them a bad premonition of death!
Boom!
The black arrow suddenly exploded above everyone's head, and a black aura instantly enveloped everyone.
Inside the black aura, all the players' hearts sank.
Not only were they blinded, but their movement and attack speed were also greatly reduced!
Facing the arrow rain attack of the elves, it was an extremely bad thing to be unable to see and dodge.
The moment they lost their sight, the surrounding sprites brazenly started to attack!
Although more than two hundred players tried their best to dodge, they could only dodge once or twice with luck. However, it was impossible to dodge more than that.
Under the crazy arrow rain attack, more than two hundred players died quickly.
"There are so many of them, but they still failed."
Somewhere in the sky, Nicole and the other elves looked at what was happening in the elf settlement with disappointment in their eyes.
…
The first one was even worse.
