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

Mo Fang glanced thoughtfully at the rear of the player army, then chuckled.

"Accept the mission!"

I don't know who was the first to shout it out.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of players on the battlefield unhesitatingly selected "Accept" in their task logs.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Beams of white light shot into the sky, but this time it wasn't death, it was teleportation.

The once crowded front line instantly became empty.

Players who were just fighting the Tree Spirit disappeared in droves.

The tree spirits, wielding their massive arms, missed their targets and crashed into the empty ground with dull thuds. For the first time, a sense of bewilderment flickered within their eerie green orbs of light.

Where is the enemy?

Where have all those tiny but annoying insects gone?

As the light faded.

When the players opened their eyes again, the deafening sounds of battle had disappeared.

Instead, there was an eerily quiet scene.

A vast lake appeared before all the players, its waters a deep, dark green, calm and still, like a giant piece of jade.

All around were even taller and older trees, blocking out the sun, with only scattered spots of light filtering through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The air was filled with a life force so rich it was almost tangible; just one breath was enough to invigorate one's spirit.

Tens of thousands of players suddenly appeared on the shore of the lake, crowding the tranquil place.

"What...what have I done to you?"

"We've been teleported here! This must be the BOSS's lair?"

Some players cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

"I understand the logic, but where's the boss? Where is he?"

"The announcement is absolutely correct; the BOSS is definitely nearby! Everyone, search carefully!"

Everyone's eyes quickly scanned the unfamiliar environment, searching for any suspicious targets.

Soon, a sharp-eyed player noticed something amiss. He stretched out his finger and pointed tremblingly to the center of the lake.

"Look!"

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at that tree in the middle of the lake!"

Following his direction, everyone's attention turned to that direction.

In the very center of the dark green lake stood a colossal tree that defied description.

Its trunk is so thick that it takes hundreds of people to encircle it, and its bark flows with a visible emerald green sheen, as if what flows through it is not sap, but rather liquid life.

The enormous canopy almost covered the entire lake, and every leaf was crystal clear, radiating a soft glow.

It stood there quietly, yet it exuded an aura of supreme majesty and antiquity.

A thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of all the players.

"If those little monsters are trees transformed..."

"Such a big, such an exaggerated tree..."

"Isn't this the BOSS?!"

"It has to be it! The final boss! It's definitely this big tree!"

"What are we waiting for! Brothers, it's in the middle of the lake, a stationary target! All ranged attackers, focus fire!"

"Who cares if it is or isn't, just chop it up first!"

In an instant, the enthusiasm of all the players was ignited.

Players of all classes quickly found their attack positions.

The power of various runes flickered as the archer drew his longbow.

In that brief moment, the consciousness that had enveloped the entire forest finally snapped out of its shock and noticed the uninvited guests.

Why...?

Why are you all suddenly appearing here?

"How on earth did you do that?!"

The forest murmured to itself, its tone filled with horror and incomprehension.

"Damn it! Is this the legendary 'sticky' nature of these players?"

However, players will not give the forest time to think of the answer.

"attack!"

A guild leader raised his Origin Weapon and roared for a general offensive.

The next second, tens of thousands of colorful skill beams, like a flood bursting its banks, tore through the tranquil air and bombarded the giant tree in the center of the lake!

boom--!

The torrent of tens of thousands of skill beams, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, accurately struck the towering tree in the center of the lake.

A burst of light, a surge of elements!

The shockwave from the explosion even lifted the lake water several meters high, turning it into a misty spray.

However, when the light faded and the mist returned to the lake, all the players' cheers were caught in their throats.

The giant tree still stands quietly in the middle of the lake.

The standard rule of "no harm even in the presence of smoke".

The big tree in the center of the lake was not destroyed, and even its bark, which shimmered with a vibrant green, remained completely undamaged.

The devastating concentrated fire just now seemed to have merely given it a bath, even making its life force appear even more vibrant.

"invalid?"

"How is this possible! With so many of us attacking, we couldn't even break the bark?"

"This defense... are you kidding me!"

The players were in an uproar; their enthusiasm, which had been high just a moment ago, was instantly dampened by a bucket of cold water.

Just then, the massive tree canopy moved without any wind.

"Splash—!!"

The enormous canopy trembled violently, and countless emerald green leaves began to flutter down from the sky.

The scene, which should have been beautiful, now had an indescribable eeriness about it.

"You...you deserve to die!"

Before the words were even finished, the green leaves that were fluttering in the air underwent a dramatic change in shape as they fell!

They stretch, twist, and expand!

In just a few seconds, every fallen leaf transformed in mid-air into a tree spirit with a blue face and fangs, waving its branches and arms!

"I am not that madman who only knows destruction, the Withering."

Despite the forest's fierce cries, she never expected that these players would actually appear in front of her.

After all, even if a king-level expert appeared in their territory, they would not be able to find their true form under the cover of the trees in that territory.

Those trees are not only beautiful, but also a natural maze.

But these players just appeared out of nowhere, without any warning.

Thinking of this, Forest snorted coldly: "But I'm not exactly a nice guy either, daring to cause trouble on my turf..."

"You will all die!"

As the last word "death" fell, tens of thousands of tree spirits swarmed down towards the players on the lake shore!

"Pfft!"

"ah--!"

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The newly formed player alliance was as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of these new and even more ferocious tree spirits.
