MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter - Chapter 1001

Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The Battle Begins Chapter 1001: Chapter 1001: The Battle Begins “I simply refuse to believe that you know more than me,” the Mother Tree said after some thought. “But I won’t be too hard on a young person like you. I’ll ask you an easier question, then. How many continents remain after the heavens crumbled and the earth cracked open among the ancient gods?”

This was another trap. At the current stage, players were aware of three continents, and those with a bit more knowledge also knew about Northend on the North Continent. As a result, many directly assumed that the Mother Tree thought they were unaware of Northend.

“Ahem, let me answer this question… it’s…” Li Yao interrupted Dandan’s summer and said, “You don’t have to speak.”

“What’s the matter? I like to spend time in the libraries across the continents too,” Dandan’s summer said.

Li Yao shook his head and said, “East Continent, West Continent, the Sanctuary, Northend of the Arctic, that makes four.”

Li Yao continued, seeing the smile on the other party’s face, “In fact, there’s another continent shrouded in a barrier of mist, Pandaria.”

The smile on Mother Tree’s face instantly froze, “That’s impossible, that’s impossible. As far as I know, there are no records of Pandaria, and very few people know of it.”

“Nothing in this world is absolute, uncle,” Li Yao said with a smile.

And so, they went back and forth like this, round after round, seven times over.

Li Yao didn’t answer a single question incorrectly, while the Mother Tree did not get a single one right.

At this moment, the phantom image of the Mother Tree was in a state of frenzy; it could not accept this outcome no matter what.

To think that he, a direct descendent of the great Mother Tree, an ancient being who had lived for who knows how many thousands of years, was being outdone by a mere mortal was something he simply couldn’t accept.

The two women were also stunned. The variety of bizarre questions, which seemed utterly inconceivable, and that the players at this stage could not possibly know, Li Yao answered with ease.

And the questions posed by Li Yao made the other party answer incorrectly every time. They simply didn’t know how Li Yao could know so much secret information.

Although they didn’t understand many things, they were clear that each piece of information was linked to very important quest clues. They weren’t saying they had studied everything thoroughly, but even if they grasped just one clue, they probably would strike it rich. And it would certainly be worth many times more than the current quests.

However, they also knew that it might take a long time to reach that level. Right now, players couldn’t even handle half of the NPCs, let alone demigods and gods who were even more elusive than world bosses.

“I refuse to believe it; let’s go again,” the Mother Tree was on the verge of going mad, incapable of accepting the result.

“Alright, then listen up. Here comes the eighth question,” Li Yao paused for a moment before asking, “Since you claim to be a direct descendant of the Mother Tree, tell me, where is the Mother Tree now?”

The Mother Tree was taken aback. The Mother Tree had completely fallen apart during the cataclysm, which was common knowledge to everyone.

In the Ancient Times, the souls of all mortal life would enter the soul plane formed by the Mother Tree upon death. This place was known as the homeland of souls.

This plane and the Mother Tree were intertwined. After the heavens crumbled and the earth cracked open, many refused to believe that the mighty homeland of souls, the nest of all birds, the mother of all ancient god trees, had just vanished.

But after searching by demigods and gods, the existence of the homeland of souls could not be detected. Therefore, it was concluded that the Mother Tree had completely perished.

But Li Yao had posed this question. Could it be that the Mother Tree was still alive?

Rejecting this notion, he roared, “You’re trying to trick me; I almost fell for it. The great Mother Tree has utterly perished, just like the once Eternal Well.”

“Are you sure?” Li Yao said with a smirk.

“Don’t play with me, I won’t be fooled by you again,” the Mother Tree said. Last time it was the same, he clearly gave the correct answer, but Li Yao led him to choose the wrong one.

With the arrival of the Contract Goddess, the health of the Mother Tree was slashed by another 10%.

“Is the great mother still alive, where is she, where is she?” the Mother Tree asked frantically.

“I can only tell you that she’s in some corner of the Emerald Dream, but I can’t tell you exactly where,” Li Yao said, not daring to reveal such a heaven-defying secret, “Now it’s your turn.”

“Fine, I’ll ask you how many ancient gods did the Titans seal, and how many ancient gods are still alive now,” the Mother Tree asked excitedly.

“That’s actually two questions, but I’m generous enough to consider it one. The Titans sealed five ancient gods, and now four of them are still alive,” Li Yao replied leisurely.

Ah Poo…

She knew the answer herself, naturally knowing that Li Yao was correct. He had answered correctly again.

Yes, out of the five sealed ancient gods, four were still alive. The remaining one was not dead, but might as well be considered dead, because the fifth ancient god was no more, yet one might say still existed. However, one way or another, the fifth ancient god was definitely not an ancient god anymore.

“Who are you, really? You can’t possibly be a mortal. Which god are you, pretending to be a mortal to make a fool of me?” The Mother Tree couldn’t accept this fact, having been outsmarted by a mortal.

“What does it matter who I am, let’s continue,” Li Yao said.

“Continue, continue my ass. Boy, regardless of who you are, here, I am god. My guardians, kill them for me.” The Mother Tree finished speaking and her phantom vanished as well.

“Old coot, you think I wouldn’t expect you to get mad and lash out in annoyance. It’s just that your health is impressive, playing with you is merely to whittle down your health,” Li Yao said, glancing at the two women, “Don’t just stand there, get ready for battle.”

As he spoke, Li Yao summoned all his pets outright.

“Thick toxins, my favorite. Can I finally evolve?” the Serpent of Poison exclaimed with glee.

“Damn worm, can’t you shut up?” the Black Dragon Queen said with disdain.

“Hehe, you think I don’t know your secret? You’ve slipped out again while the master wasn’t summoning us,” the Serpent of Darkness sneered.

Li Yao looked at the Black Dragon Queen and said, “I don’t care what you’ve been up to, but when I summon you, you’d better take it seriously, or that little trinket from the other day can be tried on you again.”

The Black Dragon Queen huffed coldly and turned to look at the heart of the tree, “So it’s this good-for-nothing creature. A waste of potential, not focusing on proper pursuits, still so weak after all these years.”

“The Black Dragon Queen, it’s actually you. Damn, so that message was true,” trembled the voice of the Mother Tree.

At the same time, a dozen or so very tall Ancient Tree Men appeared from the tree hollow and thundered toward them.

“Idiot, it seems you want to show off that so-called knowledge of yours again. Your vitality has been reduced by eighty percent; even if we don’t kill you, you’re as good as divine waste,” the Black Dragon Queen said, blasting out a breath of Dragon Breath.

Although it was a spell of Dragon Breath, the damage was very real, and all the Treants burst into flames, igniting the battle in an instant…
