The underground world was also known as the Underdark.
In the inheritance of the World Tree that Eve had obtained, there were not many descriptions of the underground world. She only knew that the history of the underground world was not shorter than that of the surface world, and it might even be longer.
It was said that in the earliest days, a few ancient gods who had been defeated in the Founding Era went deep underground and opened up this Underdark.
However, with the passage of time, the ancient gods fell one after another, or fell into depravity and became evil gods. The underground world was gradually occupied by the new and other intelligent creatures that migrated from the surface world, and brought with them the faith of the true gods.
Unlike the surface world where kingdoms had been formed, social order had been formed, and the overall war had been greatly reduced, the underground world was filled with blood and chaos.
War, conquest, decline, and collapse formed a similar cycle of the kingdoms in the Underdark.
There were no established countries here. There were only settlements formed by different races, or underground cities formed around a certain expert.
The intelligent creatures here were generally more ferocious than those on the surface, and because of the existence of evil gods, even the true gods' preaching was difficult.
In tens of thousands of years, only the underworld, which was connected to the Underdark through the plane channel, had a true god successfully taken root here.
But even so, it was just barely.
After the Thousand Year War of the Gods, the plane channels all over the world were closed, and it was even more difficult for the true gods to preach.
Due to the lack of exploration and communication, the underground world only existed in legends to the intelligent residents on the surface. Even the old elves of the Inferno tribe, who had lived for nearly a thousand years, did not know much about the underground world.
They only knew that it seemed to be a dark world formed by huge caves, underground rivers, and lakes. Only the fluorescent stones brought dim light, and the rich underground water system connected almost isolated areas.
In general, in the knowledge of the intelligent creatures on the surface, the underground world represented mystery, barbarism, and chaos.
Just entering the Underdark and being able to come back and tell some stories was an achievement worth recording for the adventurers.
Eve, on the other hand, only had a general impression of the underground world after a deeper conversation with the Spider Queen Lolth.
The underground world under Rivendell was considered a remote area in the Underdark.
This place was made up of a huge cave called the Deep Cave. The most important intelligent creatures were the Dark Dwarves that had migrated here in the past thousand years. There were also numerous monsters and magical beasts …
After learning more about the underground world, Eve was very interested in it.
The Elven Forest was no longer a threat for the time being. Moreover, the magic beasts in the north of the Elven Forest were too powerful for the current players to deal with.
Moreover, what was the point of always dealing with the magic beasts of the Elven Forest?
It's better to fight outside!
Before facing Oulleur, the God of Winter and the Hunt's next counterattack, Eve had to further train the Players.
The Underground World was a good choice.
This place was chaotic to begin with, and the natives were ferocious. Players could do whatever they wanted here.
However, in order to prevent any accidents from happening to the players during their exploration, as well as to avoid conflict with the believers of the Death Goddess, Eve promptly organized some of the information obtained from the Spider Queen Lolth and uploaded it to the information column of the official forums.
After all … it was enough to provoke Oulleur, who was at the peak of the weak Divine Power. Eve was still a little afraid of Hella, who was at the middle Divine Power.
Moreover … after using Hella's alias for so long, she felt a little guilty.
To further stimulate the enthusiasm of the Players, Eve added the achievement of exploring the underground world.
The Achievement System was activated when the Players successfully built the City of Heaven's Chosen.
The earliest Achievement System was the construction of the Beginner's Village. Not only did the stone tablet in the central square record the nicknames of the 300 First Beta Gamers, but the First Beta Gamers could also find their names in the "Main City Construction" achievement in the System's Achievement column.
In the subsequent missions, those who contributed to the major missions would still be given relevant achievements, and their deeds would be recorded in the system's achievement column.
For example, the few lifestyle players of the "Mengmeng Committee" who completed the "Crop Planting" mission received relevant achievements. Their nicknames and deeds were recorded in the game system, and they even received the exclusive title of "Planting Expert".
There were also achievements in exploring the underground world.
The First Legion Guild, which was exploring the frontline like the Boxed Lunch Team, mobilized all the Guild's forces to enter the new map …
They wanted to obtain the first successful exploration of the underground world achievement!
Eve was curious. While the Players were exploring the underground world, she secretly moved into their field of vision and admired the local customs of the underground world.
The entrance to Rivendell's underground cavern was only an entrance. If they wanted to enter the underground world, they had to continue walking down the cavern.
The gamers walked downwards for about three kilometers before arriving at the real Underground World.
They were familiar with the beauty of the Elf Forest and the vicissitudes of Rivendell's miracle. They were once again stunned by the scene in front of them …
This was a huge cave that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The ceiling of the cavern was dotted with many fluorescent stones. They were embedded in the rocks and shone with a light blue radiance. They brought light to the dark underground world like the stars in the sky, beautiful and magnificent.
In the cavern, there were hills, valleys, underground rivers … and even more rugged rock features made up of complex geological structures.
And the one closest to the Players was a subterranean forest of dark purple giant ferns of unknown names.
These giant ferns were also fluorescent. Their bodies could emit faint purple light. Their bodies swayed gently with the wind in the underground cavern, causing the light to flicker faintly. It looked like a dreamlike world.
Of course … if one could ignore the occasional roar of monsters from afar.
"Wow, I thought the underground world was just a barren cavern. I didn't expect it to be a world! There's a forest here! It has its own complete ecosystem! These underground plants look so cool! "
Some Players exclaimed excitedly as they looked at the scenery of the underground world.
"Yes! These ferns look so beautiful. Let's see if we can dig some up and plant them on the surface. "
Another player expressed his agreement.
"Be careful. The official website said that we shouldn't underestimate any creatures in the underground world. This map is full of chaos and unknowns. Creatures that can survive are not easy to deal with."
The guild leader of the First Army, Tomato Fried Tomato, said.
"Also, pay attention to the intelligent creatures that seem to be the Dark Dwarves. From the official website, they seem to be believers of the Grim Reaper. They are also the local tyrants of this area. They have the potential to become neutral or even friendly NPCs. Try not to provoke them. Otherwise, we will be wiped out in minutes."
After being a red name once, this guy had become more well-behaved.
Because more similar incidents later proved that although the red name system in "Elf Nation" was divided into levels, it was also very strict.
He was considered lucky that time as he only had a small deduction of contribution points.
When the forest was big, there were all kinds of birds. Other than him, there were other Players who challenged the rules, but they all received different degrees of punishment.
Moreover, as the Player's level increased, the punishment increased exponentially.
There was a high-level Player who had a conflict with another Player after a field battle. Even after the system's warning, he still killed the other Player. Then, he was immediately banned by the game officials for three days. His accumulated wealth was almost bankrupted.
Three days … It was twelve days in the game. There were many things that could be done.
Many players complained on the official website about his attitude of banning an account at the slightest disagreement.
Many people thought that it was just killing a Player. Was it necessary? It was just a game …
Of course, the official website didn't reply. Anyway, they just wanted to play and leave.
There were so many Players waiting for the Open Beta. Eve didn't lack one or two people. If she really wanted to chase people away or if some people quit the game, she could just replace them.
She needed obedient fighters, not troublemakers. The purpose of "Elf Nation" was to motivate the Players to work. It wasn't really to make money or to let the Players have fun …
In the end, the Players could only enjoy it again …
Who asked "Elf Nation" to be so unique?
The game officials were willful and had such conditions …
After a long time, the Players accepted that it wasn't that they couldn't mess around in "Elf Nation". However, if they messed around, they had to be prepared to be severely punished or even disabled!
Just like the chicken at the entrance of Creekwood Town in the classic game Girl Scroll, not many old Players dared to touch it … unless they wanted to experience the thrill of being the enemy of the world.
Of course, if there were Players who didn't care about their lives and messed around, Eve would tell them in advance why the flowers were so red.
After listening to the advice of fried tomatoes, the other Players nodded.
Soon, they saw a horrifying scene.
A small Magical Beast that looked like a mouse suddenly scurried out from the rocky path and accidentally fell into the forest.
The beautiful ferns immediately stretched out their shining purple "tentacles" and entangled the Magical Beast.
The small Magical Beast struggled for a while and stopped moving. Soon, it turned into a pool of sticky liquid and was absorbed by the ferns.
Players: …
"F * ck!"
"F * ck!!"
"Sure enough … Beautiful things have thorns …"
Fried tomatoes looked solemn. He pondered for a while and said, "Let's bypass the forest and go deeper into the forest.
"Let's go around this forest and go deeper into the forest. We should be able to find traces of the underground magical beasts."
With that, he led the team into another rocky path.
That was the place where the rat-like Magical Beast had rushed out. If there was a living creature, it meant that the path was clear.
After a few steps, he couldn't help but turn back to look around.
For some reason, after entering the underground cave, he had a feeling that he was being spied on. However, after looking around, he didn't find anything.
"Is it an illusion?"
He shook his head and continued to lead the team forward …
