The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Before the words were even finished, more vines burst forth from all directions, like endless green venomous snakes, sweeping towards the player army!

Screams rose and fell, and the front line of ordinary players collapsed almost immediately.

At this critical moment, a loud shout exploded like thunder.

"A bunch of useless trash! Get out of my way!"

The glorious war god strode to the front line, and with his golden greatsword, which was as big as a door panel, he fiercely cleaved down at the densest grove of vines in front of him!

The greatsword itself did not directly touch the vines.

But the instant it was swung out, a dazzling golden sword aura shot out, and at the same time, several thick golden lightning bolts descended from the clear sky without warning, accurately striking the area in front of the sword aura!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Then came meteorites, rock spikes...

Special effects and sword energy intertwined, and the violent energy instantly swept away the vines in that area, leaving only a scorched mark on the ground.

This is the special attack effect of the War God Set!

It was just one sword strike, but the opponent had many targets, instantly triggering more than a dozen special effects attacks.

This attack instantly stabilized the morale of the troops, which was on the verge of collapse.

"Holy crap! That's incredible!"

"Is this the power of a top-tier player with god-tier gear?!"

"Now I finally understand why the War God set is so expensive, and why top players still buy it—it's practically a godsend for group farming!"

Other players who also possessed the War God set also employed various methods.

A burly man wielding a battle axe left a fiery trench in the ground with each swing.

An elven player carrying a longbow shoots an arrow that splits into countless ice crystals in mid-air, freezing large swathes of vines.

The power of the War God Set is on full display at this moment.

It doesn't simply increase attributes; instead, it grants players a variety of powerful area-of-effect attacks with special effects, making them virtually invincible against such a large number of enemies!

In an instant, various golden, red, and blue special effects lights rose and fell on the battlefield, tearing open gaps in the endless sea of ​​vines.

With a powerful figure paving the way, the battle situation quickly reversed.

A player with the ID "Mad Blade", also dressed in full War God armor, was tightly entangled by dozens of tough vines and unable to move.

However, he showed no panic on his face; instead, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

He gave up struggling, letting the vines hoist him high up, then gripped the giant blade in his hands tightly and plunged it into the ground beneath him!

"Break for me!"

The moment the tip of the giant blade pierced the soil, a golden energy shield exploded outwards from him!

The violent energy surge instantly pulverized all the vines that were wrapped around him and within a 20-meter radius!

Upon seeing this, countless players erupted in cheers: "Our leader is so handsome!"

"Boss, I want to have your babies!"

"Do you know you're a man?"

"I'm taking this seriously, and you'd better actually be able to have children!"

"???"

suddenly.

A clear, melodious, yet somewhat languid female voice suddenly rang out across the entire battlefield.

"Is this what gives you your confidence?"

"Hehehe, it's not that great."

The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, as if it were whispering right next to them.

This sudden response jolted everyone awake, and the skill effects flying across the battlefield momentarily froze.

"It's the boss! The boss has appeared!"

"Finally came out? I thought he was mute!"

"This boss is a total jerk; we've been fighting him for ages and haven't even seen a shadow of him. All he does is lurk in the shadows and launch sneak attacks!"

"I knew it! Even a leader wouldn't dare get close to me. Turns out it was this old bastard who was behind it all?"

forest:"???"

Although she knew these guys had foul mouths, Forest still got furious every time she heard it.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the players erupted into a new wave of commotion and shouting.

The fear of the unknown was dispelled, leaving only the excitement of finding the real person.

That ethereal voice rang out again, tinged with a faint smile.

"Hmph! A bunch of ants dare to even look at me?"

"I am deep in the forest, and I welcome you anytime."

This statement immediately drew criticism from players.

"How ashamed must someone be to hide from people all the time?"

"She's an old woman, isn't she?"

"She's a witch, isn't she?"

"He's an ugly monster."

"I don't know, but I have a very beautiful figure."

"Die, all of you!!!" Hearing this, Forest trembled with rage and roared, no longer wanting to listen.

As the sound faded, the ground throughout the forest began to tremble slightly.

It wasn't the kind of violent shaking that causes the earth to collapse, but rather a dull, heavy pulsation, as if some colossal creature that had been sleeping for thousands of years was awakening from the depths of the earth.

"What's going on? Was there an earthquake?"

"No! Look at those trees!"

A player pointed ahead in terror.

The ancient trees that had stood silently at the edge of the battlefield, unscathed from the previous battle, were now cracking and snapping.

The rough bark peeled off in pieces, and cracks appeared on the hard trunk.

What shone through the cracks was not the grain of wood, but a deep, unsettling, eerie green light.

The tree roots, coiled underground like a giant, twisted python, suddenly burst from the soil and transformed into two thick legs.

The lush branches twisted and contracted, transforming into two enormous arms.

Under the horrified gaze of countless players, the surrounding trees came to life!

Two eerie green lights shone from their canopies, like their eyes, filled with coldness and death, looking down at the tiny invaders on the ground.

Tree Spirit!

These are the true guardians of the forest!

"Holy crap! The tree... the tree is alive?!"

"How the hell am I supposed to fight this? Its size is just ridiculous!"

A player wielding a battle axe, a glorious warrior, had just cleared a patch of vines with his Fiery Ravine skill. Before he could even catch his breath, a newly awakened tree spirit took heavy steps and charged towards him.

He roared and raised his battle axe high, causing the golden flames of the War God Set to surge.

"Die!"

The giant axe, burning with raging flames, slammed down hard on the tree spirit's "thigh"!

However, the anticipated scenario of overwhelming success did not materialize.

"clang--!"

With a deafening clang of metal against metal, the battle axe, powerful enough to cleave mountains and rocks, merely left a shallow white mark on the tree spirit's leg, failing to even penetrate its hard bark.

The immense force of the recoil caused the player's hand to crack, and the battle axe almost flew out of his hand.

Before he could even be shocked, the tree spirit's enormous arm, made of branches, swept across with a whistling sound!

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang.

The player, clad in full divine gear, along with the dazzling golden flames emanating from him, was sent flying like a baseball hit by a bat. He arced through the air before crashing heavily into the crowd of players behind him, his fate unknown.

This scene plunged all the players' hearts into despair.

The vines can be cleared by the area-of-effect skills of top-tier players.

But what about these tree spirits?

Its defense is ridiculously high, and its attack power is even more terrifying!

That attack just now would have been too much for even the top-tier tanks in the front line to withstand!

These tree spirits are not particularly strong in combat, but thanks to the blessing of this forest, their actual combat strength has surpassed that of ordinary lords.

"roar--!"

More tree spirits let out muffled roars, took heavy steps, and charged into the player army.

The line of defense that had just been stabilized by the top-tier players collapsed instantly!

These colossal creatures, reaching heights of tens of meters, can sweep away a group of players with every swing of their arms.
