Chapter 131: Chapter 130: You, Deserve Respect

Looking at the claw marks half a meter deep on the ground, the players exchanged glances.

“Did… did the Goddess win?”

“That tentacle-like vine just now was the Goddess's, wasn't it?”

“Probably, that cold snort was the Goddess's…”

“Hiss—I feel a bit scared…”

“I feel the same way… the howling was so miserable!”

“What a tragic demigod… *I suddenly want to see how the Goddess deals with him.*”

“The book can be updated now.”

“Ugh! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking…”

“Hehehe, the developers have such a twisted sense of humor, using vines of all things.”

“Hehehe… you're so dirty.”

“Likewise, likewise…”

The atmosphere among the players was filled with cheerful banter.

Although they knew the reality was definitely not as they imagined, it didn't stop them from joking joyfully.

On the other hand, the half-beasts were struck with terror.

“Walker… Lord Walker… lost?”

Jushan murmured in disbelief.

No half-beast dared to respond to him…

From the scene just now, it was no longer a matter of winning or losing, *but rather whether this legendary totem guardian could even survive.*

A demigod!

That was a demigod!

A demigod who had transcended mortals, just a step away from the eternal divine throne!

Yet even a demigod was caught so effortlessly within minutes…

Was the one in the Elf Forest really just a fake god?

The answer was already clear.

If she were truly a fake god, how could she have defeated a demigod so easily?

Moreover, that was none other than the renowned Lord Walker!

Adding to that, the immense holy aura emanating from the vine chains just now…

All the half-beast priests felt parched:

That… that was probably a true divine being!

A True God!

There was actually a True God hidden in the Elf Forest!

In an instant, the half-beasts completely lost the courage to fight head-on.

“It's over! It's over! The Divine Envoy has also been captured! We're doomed!”

“The elves must be here for revenge! Let's run! Let's run quickly!”

Soon, the Rock Cave Tribe descended into chaos.

Even if the half-beasts had a strong will and morale much higher than other ordinary races, when faced with inevitable defeat… even death, they would lose their fighting spirit.

Seeing the tide turning, Jushan no longer hesitated.

Even the Demigod didn't make it—this war was no longer something the mere Rock Cave Tribe could influence.

The night prowler was also nowhere to be seen.

After Walker was dragged away by a mysterious presence, that cunning Blood Clan member fled.

This made Jushan extremely angry!

If not for him! If not for him! How would the Rock Cave Tribe come to this?!

Continued resistance was meaningless.

Jushan bit his teeth and shouted loudly,

“Stop fighting! Elves! Stop fighting! We surrender! We will migrate, we will leave here!”

However, to Jushan's confusion, even though he conveyed the intention to surrender, the elves' side did not cease their attack…

“Stop fighting! We surrender! We surrender!”

Jushan used the amplification divine technique to shout again.

Hearing his words, the players exchanged glances with peculiar expressions.

They laughed cheerfully, while continuing to charge and mockingly said,

“Why surrender? Keep fighting! I haven't had enough yet!”

“Try to run? No way!”

“Hahaha, the Elf Army doesn't take prisoners!”

“Hand over your heads obediently!”

Jushan: …

He widened his eyes, feeling unable to comprehend…

These elves… could they really want to drive them to extinction?

Just… just like that?!

Okay… with the support of the Black Dragon, and since they could resurrect, it's indeed possible they could exhaust the half-beasts to death…

But… they were elves!

When did they become so ruthless?

*Crazy!*

*This is madness!*

He looked at the chaotic tribe, feeling as if he aged ten years in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted,

“All tribesmen, heed my order! Abandon the tribe! Retreat! We're retreating!”

They couldn't linger here any longer.

If they continued, the Rock Cave Tribe might truly be doomed!

Upon hearing High Priest's command, the demoralized half-beasts also started to retreat, enduring the Black Dragon's attack as they fled the tribe.

“They're running away!”

“Lord EL! Stop them quickly!”

“Charge! Don't let them get away!”

“Black Dragon, use Dragon Breath! Quick, use Dragon Breath!”

Seeing the half-beasts trying to escape, the players' morale soared, and they attacked even more fiercely.

Chase them down!

These are all experience points and contribution points!

The suicide squad charged again, and this time… the fleeing half-beasts, having lost their fighting spirit, were almost effortlessly taken down by the players, turning into fireworks in cheerful “open fire on me.”

And those who fought the longest and gained the most experience points could already put up a fight against the weakest half-beasts as their levels increased!

“Hmph! You bastards, still trying to escape?”

Watching the fleeing half-beasts, Black Dragon Mairrel wore a fierce expression.

It stopped rampaging through the tribe and specifically targeted those trying to escape.

With its claws, it grabbed three to five half-beasts at a time, rising high with a flap of its wings, then fiercely dropping them.

Accompanied by miserable wails, the half-beasts it threw down were smashed into a pulp.

This scene frightened the half-beasts even more.

Soon, even their retreating ranks collapsed, and they scattered in all directions…

Looking at the chaotic scene, the half-beast Jushan had a pained expression.

He took a deep breath and, gazing at the Black Dragon slaughtering his tribesmen, roared,

“Black Dragon… I'll fight you to the death!”

With that, he took something from his chest and tore it apart, chanting a spell. His whole body suddenly radiated brilliant Holy Light.

His body started burning with sacred flames, aging rapidly.

At the same moment, a silver cage ensnared Black Dragon Mairrel…

[Cage of Light]

Gold-level control divine technique!

This was a move Samir had previously used to trap the Black Dragon. Although Jushan didn't have World Tree leaves, relying on supplementary means, he could also perform an incomplete Cage of Light at the cost of sacrificing life!

“I've… trapped it… you… go quickly!”

Jushan shouted to the half-beasts.

“Priest… High Priest!”

Seeing the old High Priest fighting desperately, all half-beasts looked sorrowful.

The Rock Cave Tribe's development to its current scale was largely due to Jushan's dedication.

In the same way, he was beloved by the half-beasts.

“Take this chance… leave quickly! Report all that happened here to the Royal Court!”

Jushan shouted again.

Upon hearing his words, the half-beasts gritted their teeth and tearfully chose to obey.

“Damn elves! Remember this!”

They cast hateful glances at the elves, as if trying to etch their figures into their minds, then began to retreat.

“Damn it! Why is it always Mairrel!”

Trapped again, the Little Black Dragon was nearly furious to death.

Without the Black Dragon's support, the players were unable to pursue the half-beasts further.

The number of half-beasts was still too many— the entire Rock Cave Tribe boasted over five thousand people. Even with heavy losses, their numbers still exceeded the players'.

If they didn't fight the players and chose only to retreat, the players had no means to stop them…

Ultimately, after leaving behind hundreds more bodies, the half-beasts finally broke through and gradually disappeared from the players' sight.

However… upon leaving, the once five-thousand-strong Rock Cave Tribe had less than a thousand left.

And the players, amidst cheers, took over the Rock Cave Tribe, now almost reduced to ruins.

The half-beasts retreated hastily, leaving behind the vast majority of their belongings.

Seeing the half-beasts flee, the players stopped chasing and instead began to enthusiastically scavenge the Rock Cave Tribe or pick up equipment.

Just kidding!

Having won, it's certainly time to loot the spoils of war. The poor bandits don't chase after fleeing enemies—whoever does is a fool!

After all, the task was only to destroy the stronghold.

Alice and El also arrived at the Rock Cave Tribe.

Watching the Chosen Ones loot the half-beast tribe like human bandits, they were momentarily stunned.

These brave warriors… seemed even crazier than they had been in battle!

They saw… almost every Chosen One was draped in a chain of half-beast trophies, and someone was gleefully dividing goods the half-beasts had purchased from humans…

Even more outrageously… a Chosen One had found a large stash of gold and silver treasures in the half-beasts' main tent…

A few Chosen Ones' eyes lit up, almost fighting over the treasure.

“By the Mother Goddess… they… they…”

Even though Alice knew these Chosen Ones had certain flaws and could be very greedy at times, she hadn't expected this scene…

At this moment, she suddenly recalled Berserker's previous remark to her:

“The Chosen Ones… indeed, they are brave warriors, but they can also transform into the most despicable bandits.”

That was Berserker's sentiment after witnessing the battle to reclaim the Holy City.

At that time, Alice hadn't understood, but now… she finally did.

At this point, the Little Black Dragon finally broke free of the cage. It shouted “Rua” and dived into the treasure hoard, slapping several players away, bared its red eyes and teeth, and said,

“This is Mairrel's! It's Mairrel's! Get lost! Get lost!”

Alice: …

Players: …

…

Amidst the chaos, Li Mu did not follow the other players in looting.

He brushed past player after player, finally arriving at a clearing.

The half-beast Jushan lay there.

He had already aged beyond recognition, his oil lamp flickering out, as if he might die at any moment.

Li Mu gazed at the dying half-beast High Priest, while Jushan struggled to shift his cloudy eyes towards him.

Jushan recognized him, this elf was the elves' commander.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something…

But ultimately, he exhausted all his strength, merely moving his lips, and then he breathed no more.

Jushan's gaze went beyond Li Mu, focusing on the direction the half-beasts had fled…

In those eyes was boundless longing and worry.

Li Mu's expression was somewhat complicated.

He sighed, reaching out to close Jushan's eyes:

“Although you are an NPC, although you are the enemy… as a leader of a tribe, you are indeed worthy of respect… Rest in peace.”

This time, the half-beast High Priest closed his eyes.

Li Mu sighed deeply again, his voice filled with emotion…

He reached out and began to remove Jushan's equipment.

…

After the players occupied the Rock Cave Tribe, the system message followed.

[Ding——]

[Mainline Quest: Destroy the Half-Beast Stronghold Completed.]
