MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter - Chapter 999

Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Core Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Core “Is that for real? Could it be that exaggerated?” Summer, in a light tone, was somewhat incredulous. She could accept that those branches were formidable, but the tree hollow was all twists and turns, and there was a dark glow flickering, making the inside of the hollow not so pitch-dark.

Otherwise, under such massive trees that blotted out the sky, let alone starlight, not even moonlight was of any use.

“You still don’t believe it? Then watch this.” Li Yao said as he pulled back the Thousand Mechanisms Bow.

Next came an arrow, and the two women saw a monster suddenly fall from the edge of the tree hollow with a scream. Only then did they get a clear view of a green creature that looked like a tree stump, covered with greasy green branches. It also had facial features and was now howling in pain.

The arrow that Li Yao released was a Flame Arrow, and it was imbued with the Flame of Life. The Treant was shrouded in a layer of illusory flames, and no matter how it rolled, it could not extinguish the flames on its body.

Summer, with a hint of astonishment, cast an identification spell and gasped at the attributes she saw.

This monster was actually a boss-level creature. Are you sure there are many of these monsters?

“Have you ever seen branches growing inside a tree hollow? All these branches represent this kind of monster.” Li Yao shrugged his shoulders.

The two women gasped in shock because the branches on both sides of the hollow were dense and endless, completely forming an impenetrable sight without end.

If they are all bosses, then what the hell is the point of playing? And considering their skills, these tree sprites, or should I say Treants, are full of Corrosion and poison. If we get surrounded in a place like this, we really won’t be able to get out.

“What kind of attack is that? It’s so powerful that it burned a boss-level tree sprite to death.”

“It’s just ordinary flame. It’s just that these guys, like the Mother Tree, fall into a deep sleep at night to absorb the starlight and moonlight; that’s when they’re incredibly weak.” Li Yao casually explained.

“I almost believed your nonsense,” Summer said speechlessly. Although these guys were very weak at night, they were bosses after all; it wasn’t possible to kill a boss with just one type of flame continuously.

“What a pity, this place is full of twisting passages. If it were an open area, leveling up here would be great.” Li Yao sighed. In fact, leveling up here was also very fast since they were all bosses, but it still didn’t meet Li Yao’s expectations, so he didn’t want to waste time.

Moreover, he had already surpassed level forty. Now, the focus was on the primary mission to bring out the main storyline instance.

The group continued walking for nearly ten more minutes, still encountering various forks in the path. The two women were already confused.

“Hey, hey, could we have taken a wrong turn? It’s been so long.” Summer couldn’t help but say.

“Don’t worry,” Li Yao reassured, firing off a Sonic Exploding Arrow.

“With so many forks here, we won’t laugh at you if there’s a mistake. Rest assured,” Summer continued.

“I didn’t take a wrong turn, you’ve seen how huge this tree is, and the winding paths here make it normal to take a bit longer,” Li Yao said defensively.

“We all know you’re Prairie Fire, and we also know you’re famous. You’re not refusing to admit you’re lost just because of that, are you?” Bing Yu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

Li Yao couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “If I bring out the Hell Battle Scorpion and take out the Thousand Mechanisms Bow, I’m not afraid of you knowing who I am. But you still need to keep it a secret for me. It’s related to something important.”

“Don’t worry, we don’t care about the competition forums or your fame, no need for that.”

“That’s good then. I’ll say it again, we haven’t taken a wrong turn. Just follow me, and we’ll get there. It’s just because it’s night; otherwise, it would be too difficult to break in. But we need to hurry. We have to leave before sunrise.”

The three of them quickened their pace, just as Li Yao said, if the sea of treants came during the day, they would be overwhelmed, and each one would be boss-level.

After a few more minutes of walking, their eyes suddenly lit up as they seemed to have arrived in an infinite starry space.

Specks of starlight twinkled, and they found themselves in the vast universe.

A gigantic tree rooted in countless stars stood tall and imposing, its branches and leaves also composed of huge stars.

The trio was completely stunned by such a majestic sight, something not even the World Tree could match.

“Three interesting little fellows, welcome to my world,” along with an old voice, the apparition of an old man appeared before them.

The two women were about to bow when they saw Li Yao sneer and say, “What ‘your world’? Don’t think about wasting time, it’s useless.”

The old man’s expression remained kind, “Tiny humans always fail to believe in the greatness of the world, just like a frog in a well, whose sky is never more than the size of the well’s mouth, oblivious to the vastness of heaven and earth. And this frog does not believe in a wider world.”

“Now you’re mocking me,” Li Yao sneered. “You’re nothing but a minor mother tree, inferior to the World Tree by who knows how many levels, yet you delude yourself into transcending this world, becoming the first tree of all time. I’m afraid even the true Mother Tree rooted in the Eternal Well is not as presumptuous as you. Trying to encompass the universe, I really don’t know whether to call you naive or arrogant. Your mother merely formed a plane similar to the Soul Space.”

The old man’s face changed, “So you know my origin. As the seed of the great Mother Tree, why can’t I become a magnificent existence? Speak, tiny mortal, your purpose.”

“Naturally, it’s to eliminate you,” Li Yao said with a cold laugh.

“Hahahaha,” the old man laughed wildly, “Ridiculous mortal, you actually think you can destroy me, the great Dead Light Mother Tree, truly laughable.”

“That’s right, I can’t destroy the Dead Light Mother Tree, and it’s true that you are the Dead Light Mother Tree. However, to be precise, the Dead Light Mother Tree is not you. You are just the corrupt will created by the essence of death. If I kill you, the Mother Tree might even thank me, hoping the next consciousness it spawns will be kinder. With you bringing disaster upon the land, if I don’t finish you off today, sooner or later someone else will,” Li Yao said righteously.

As he spoke, Li Yao shot an arrow straight at the old man. The old man let out an angry roar, followed by a transformation of light and shadow.

The trio found themselves still inside the tree hollow, and moreover, in a massive cave filled with the scent of decay.

In the center, something akin to a heart emitted heavy thumping sounds, and along with each beat, strands of dim starlight were being absorbed into the heart through several branches.

Obviously, this was the core of the Dead Light Mother Tree’s absorption of starlight.

“Let’s do this,” Li Yao said, “Break this heart, and we’ll get the first kill of a camp-level leader from the ancient gods.”

“Wait a moment.” The heart suddenly flashed with a burst of starlight that reshaped into a human figure.

Only this time, the figure was a supremely beautiful woman, exuding a wild charm.

“Do you really have the heart to kill me? If you spare me, I will let you do as you please,” the unparalleled beauty said seductively.

Her greeting was met with an arrow from Li Yao, and the starlight shattered once more.

“Wait, I don’t like physical fights, I prefer intellectual challenges. How about this: each of us asks a question, and whoever gets it wrong loses 10% of their life. Do you dare to play?”…
