Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

"Your Highness, Saintess Mia."

"No need for such trouble. The Wood Demon Tiger Driver has betrayed me and stolen most of my power!"

"If possible, please take my last child, the fruit I bore, with you."

"It can evolve a Wood Elf into a Bounty Elf, and even nurture new Bounty Trees!"

The sound of the bountiful ancient tree was heard.

Li Wu Hui and Saintess Chen Lu's expressions immediately changed.

Wood spirits will be the scapegoats for the Ancient Tree of Abundance!

The Knight Commander's prediction actually came true.

The Morning Dew Saintess hesitated for a moment.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Alright, Ancient Tree of Abundance, I will take your last child with me."

The two then exchanged a glance.

After walking several dozen meters...

The Morning Dew Saintess whispered:

"Knight Commander, you guessed right. I won't let my wood elf companion absorb that fruit. I'll hand the fruit over to the High Priest; he should have a way to deal with it."

At least this girl listened to advice.

Li Wu Hui nodded:

"Her Highness Saintess Mia's arrangements are excellent."

"I have no objection."

Soon, under the arrangement of the Morning Dew Saintess...

The strongest wood spirit, Freya Forestheart, condensed a wooden sword and cut open the root joint of a giant golden fruit that was over two meters long.

pat!

A huge golden fruit fell.

call out!

shhhhh!

More than a dozen beautiful women with long green hair leaped up from the tree trunk like insects, slowing the golden fruit's descent.

Finally, the four wood elves caught the golden fruit steadily.

[You have harvested a rare, high-quality gold-grade artifact, the Fruit of Abundance: After a Wood Elf consumes it, it will evolve into a gold-quality Wood Elf and gain the new skill of cultivating the Tree of Abundance!]

A notification flashed before Li Wu Hui's eyes.

As expected, the bountiful ancient tree did not deceive them about the effects of its fruit.

He simply concealed the price of becoming a bountiful elf: he was replaced by her!

Boom! !

Rumble!

Rumble rumble rumble!

Long, heavy footsteps echoed continuously, coming from all directions.

Bishop Verna, along with two other bishops from Morning Dew, approached with expressions of panic.

"Your Highness, a large number of Wood Demon Tiger Chasers are approaching from all four directions!"

"Judging from their numbers, they probably exceed a thousand."

The Morning Dew Saintess's expression instantly turned ugly.

"Retreat in the direction we came from! Bishop Verna, you lead the way!"

Then, without waiting for a response from the others.

She looked at Li Wu Hui:

"Sir Knight, please don't leave my side. Just help me watch over the fruits left by the bountiful ancient tree!"

"By the way, is there a sacred tunnel nearby?"

Li Wu Hui replied:

"The nearest sacred tunnel is about twenty miles away. I can lead the way. Once we get there, everyone should be able to evacuate safely!"

The Morning Dew Saintess breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"That's alright."

Then, the Morning Dew Saintess stepped out of the crowd and looked at the survivors, saying urgently:

"Fellow survivors, the Wood Spirit Tiger Chaser is here! They are numerous and cannot be defeated by force!"

"We must break out immediately. Follow me. There is a sacred tunnel about twenty miles away that will allow you to evacuate safely."

"If you die, your companions or members of the Morning Dew Cult can temporarily preserve your equipment."

"Let's set off now!"

The survivors were all taken aback, losing all their joking around. They immediately changed direction, adjusted their formation, and retreated to avoid being overwhelmed by the Wood Demon Tiger Driver.

I definitely won't be able to keep up with the main group then.

"Exciting! That golden fruit we just shot down must be the key to turning the tide of battle, right?"

"Possibly, otherwise the Wood Demon Tiger Driver wouldn't have been so easily provoked!"

"We can die this time, but we can't fall behind, otherwise no one will pick up our dropped equipment!"

"..."

The army of a thousand men changed direction.

Charging along the path they had come from, they encountered a group of two or three hundred wood demon tiger drivers after only a few hundred meters.

Nearly twenty purple wood sprites, each seven meters tall, stood at the front, trying to block everyone's path.

Whoosh! !

Six incredibly fast arrows shot out, striking the three purple wood spirits and causing them to explode violently.

[-27%!]

[-25%!]

[-18%! (True damage)]

【...】

Someone turned to look.

It turned out to be the Knight Commander of Morning Dew, Li Wu Hui, who made his move.

The three purple wood demon tiger drivers were instantly reduced to less than 30% of their health.

However, that's all.

He had run out of arrows, and although the wood elves could conjure arrows, they could not give them to him.

First, their arrows were too weak and would break in mid-air.

Secondly, the Oath of End Bow can only limit the use of arrows that it can replenish!

Fortunately, he was not a key player in this match.

Bishop Verna appeared, dressed in a gray-black religious robe, holding a black, hooked scepter with a top that resembled a sickle or a crescent moon.

She and two other bishops, each wielding a religious scepter, led hundreds of Dawn Knights in a charge against the Wood Demon Tiger Driver.

Especially the twenty purple wood sprites who were leading the way.

Boom!

puff!

puff!

[-9%!]

[-12%!]

【...】

The three golden-quality Morning Dew Bishops, though they appeared civilized and easygoing, fought with extreme ferocity, their religious scepters whipping up powerful gusts of wind, sending sand and stones flying.

They alone wiped out fifteen purple wood demon tiger drivers.

Hundreds of Morning Dew Knights charged forward, and the five remaining purple Wood Demon Tiger Drivers were trampled into the monster horde, failing to hinder the group's journey in the slightest!

Of the hundreds of wood spirit tiger chasers, only a few dozen could block the way for the group, so passing through was not difficult.

After charging, dozens of Morning Dew Knights dropped below half health and were immediately replaced, with Morning Dew Sisters stepping forward to heal them.

But the battle was not over.

The wood demon tiger driver is at least five meters tall, and its movements are not bulky or slow; it can only travel a little over a thousand meters.

Behind the thousand-strong team followed over five hundred Wood Demon Tiger Drivers. Many survivors at the rear were dragged away by the vines, without even having time to hand over their equipment to others for safekeeping.

In a short time, dozens of people were dragged away and sacrificed.

Everyone watching was terrified!

Immediately, no one wanted to stay behind and be the last one.

"Hey, don't block my way!"

"What do you mean 'stopping me'? Aren't we all going full speed ahead? Don't pull my arm!"

"..."

In a life-or-death situation, the survivors clashed again.

It's as if all the previous civilizations have vanished.

The Morning Dew Saintess originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

But a lonely figure stood there ahead.

【Morning Dew Master (White BOSS Quality)】

"Master, what are you doing here?"

"It's dangerous now, you should retreat with us!"

Bishop Verna, standing at the front of the group, spoke first.

The aged Morning Dew Cult Leader refused her.

"Verna, the time for martyrdom has come!"

"The survivor followers painstakingly cultivated by the Morning Dew Saintess have never offered sincere prayers, and this unexpected evacuation has caused their morale to plummet!"

"I want you and me to lay the fall for everyone with our lives! Are you willing?"

The voice of the Morning Dew Cult Master was full of wisdom and decisiveness.

His words were not false.

With over a century of missionary experience, he could even influence the ancient tree of abundance. He was far more adept at controlling people's hearts than the Morning Dew Saintess and Bishop Verna!

"But Master, Verna's strength might not be enough!"

Verna stopped in her tracks, her face contorted with struggle.

Why would she die in place of the saintess?

She is clearly no less than the saint.

The surrounding crowd passed by the two of them one by one.

Both Saintess Morning Dew and Li Wu Hui looked at them with complicated expressions.

They had obviously heard the conversation.

Unexpectedly, the Morning Dew Cult Leader played a straightforward card like this, asking Bishop Verna to sacrifice herself. Would she agree to that?

"Verna, the faith in Eternal Night has not given me power. Will you betray me too?"

The Morning Dew Cult Leader simply said this indifferently.

Then he ignored her.

And so they walked toward the approaching wood demon tiger driver.

"Master, I never intended to betray you!"

Verna Yongye gritted her teeth.

Finally, she turned around and followed the Morning Dew Cult Leader.

He walked ahead of him.

"I know that you have chosen the Morning Dew Saintess as your successor. In that case, there is no need for you to sacrifice yourself."

"Let me do it."

Verna Eternal Night walked to the very back of the group.

The crescent-shaped scepter was suddenly swung.

It drew a semi-circular, jet-black mark!

Five meters long, it pierced through dozens of wood demon tiger drivers in the blink of an eye. Their tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, but they were not the blood eyes of the purple wood demon.

Just dark, empty eyes.

"Hail to the Dark Moon!"

Dozens of wood spirit tiger drivers rebelled.

With Bishop Verna unleashing her full power, even the purple-quality Wood Demon Tiger Driver was cut down like vegetables with a wave of her scepter.

However, there were simply too many wooden demons chasing tigers behind them.

Bishop Verna and the dozens of wooden tiger-driving warriors under her control continued to push back.

Bishop Verna was soon covered in wounds.

The Morning Dew Cult Leader did not hesitate at all.

He turned around and left.

However, they did not catch up with the main group of Saintess Morning Dew and others.

Instead, they quietly crept into the depths of the Wood Demon Tiger Driver's lair.

All of this happened very discreetly.

However, Li Wu Hui, who possessed the Eye of Domination, saw it clearly.

This is a distance of about ten miles.

No more survivors died.

But every now and then people would look back to see Bishop Verna, who was holding off hundreds of wooden demon tiger drivers all by herself.

Bishop Verna 64%

Bishop Verna 35%

As her power was exhausted, dozens of purple wood sprite vines attacked, and Bishop Verna died instantly!

However, the Wood Demon Tiger Driver did not continue the pursuit. Instead, it began to attack the Wood Demon Tiger Driver who had previously rebelled.

These rebels then voiced their pleas for mercy and confusion.

But the Wood Demon Tiger Driver never trusts traitors!

Li Wu Hui led the Morning Dew Saintess into the cave, skillfully holding her hand, and led her through the cave to a safe area.

"Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to. I'll come find you later."

The Morning Dew Saintess nodded.

He seemed somewhat downcast.

"it is good."

Then, Li Wu Hui went against the flow of people.

They stepped back into the shadowy cave.

Survivors would greet him from time to time.

"Knight Commander Morning Dew!"

"Why did the Knight Commander leave?"

"I guess Her Highness the Saintess gave him a new mission."

"Maybe so. That really scared me to death! I thought this was going to turn into a battle royale!"

"That's true. Once these wood demon tiger chasers outnumbered us, we couldn't escape at all when they were chasing us! We couldn't even keep our equipment."

"Who can argue with that? If the Morning Dew Church hadn't made the drastic decision to send Bishop Verna as a backup, we would have at least several hundred players back to square one!"

"The Morning Dew Vatican is still benevolent!"

"Yes, I almost thought that Her Highness Saintess Morning Dew had really abandoned us."

"..."

The voices of the many survivors faded into the distance.

Li Wu Hui also completely disappeared into the shadows.

He didn't know if what the Morning Dew Cult Master said about the will of the people was correct.

He had to go back and retrieve Bishop Verna's body!
