This was a collapsed and dilapidated temple.
The stone tablet depicting Mother Nature's symbol and Elvish text had long been destroyed by a sharp weapon and tainted with blood.
The statue that originally belonged to the Goddess had also been smashed and replaced with a wooden male God wearing a leather coat, holding a battle axe and a longbow.
That was the God of Winter and the Hunt — Oulleur.
Under the statue, an old hunchback goblin was prostrating and praying.
He was wearing a tattered Wizard's robe that he had snatched from a human caravan, and on his head was a nondescript felt hat. In front of him was a crystal that was flickering with a pale green light.
"Great God of Winter and the Hunt, this is the third God's Blood Crystal that your servant has found this month. I still need seven more to accumulate the minimum amount of 33 God's Blood Crystals. After that, I will offer them all to you."
He had a hunchback and his eyes were cloudy. The wrinkles on his face were almost carved into his bones, and his expression was fanatical and devout.
As Oulleur's original body was located in the heavens, a sacrifice across the two worlds required a large amount of energy. Thus, in order to conserve Divine Power, he could only let his subordinates collect enough tributes before offering them together. Normally, he would at most do some simple communication with his believers.
As the goblin prayed, the statue faintly emitted a golden light that gently brushed past his body.
In an instant, the old goblin felt that his old body seemed to have become much younger.
"Praise the God of Winter and the Hunt!"
The old goblin was slightly delighted and buried his head deeper.
After finishing his prayer to the God, the old goblin stood up.
He adjusted the felt hat on his head and carefully picked up the Skeleton Staff that was embedded with a huge pearl that was hidden under his body. He carefully wiped it in his arms as if it was a treasure, then walked out of the dilapidated temple with satisfaction.
The old goblin's name was Gru, and he was a Level 11 Goblin Priest that was at the lower level of Dark Iron.
However, Gru preferred to call itself the High Priest because it was the strongest among the Goblins in the Jade Lengcui Ruins. The other three Goblin Priests were no match for it and had to submit to it.
The reason why he was so powerful wasn't because he was blessed by the gods. Instead, before he was recruited by Oulleur, he had obtained a Magic Staff and became a rare Goblin Spellcaster.
Not only that, but it also possessed mysterious Necromancy Magic!
It was thanks to Necromancy that it was able to suppress the other two Goblin Priests who were also at level 11.
However, it was already too old.
If it developed normally, its lifespan would be no more than three years.
Fortunately, the appearance of Oulleur gave it hope. This great god had promised that if it could collect the divine blood crystals of the thirty-three World Trees within this year, it would be given a new life.
Gru's luck was not bad.
For some reason, the divine blood crystals left behind by the World Trees in the Elven Forest had been almost forgotten since the War of the Gods. Oulleur had only recently secretly sent out a message to search for them.
Therefore, it was not difficult for believers to collect some crystals as long as they worked hard.
With the power of the Goblins, it had collected a total of twenty-six crystals in just a few months.
"So, power is the foundation of this world!"
Gru stroked its Skeleton Staff and muttered to itself in an intoxicated manner.
After walking out of the temple, Gru came to the streets of the Jade Lengcui Ruins.
However, when it saw the ruins of the ruins, its old eyebrows gradually furrowed.
"Why are there so many people missing?"
Gru looked around and saw a Goblin sleeping soundly.
It snorted and walked over, kicking the Goblin awake.
The awakened Goblin was furious. It pulled out its staff and was about to fight back, but when it saw who it was, its expression changed instantly. It lay on the ground like an obedient little chick, whining softly as it kissed the tip of Gru's feet …
A trace of disdain flashed in Gru's eyes.
It looked down on its own kind with low intelligence.
In its opinion, although they had the same appearance, they were completely different species.
This group of low-energy trash can't even speak the common language!
If it was not for the fact that the Undead summoned by its Necromancy Magic could not touch the divine blood crystals and could not satisfy its need for treasure hunting, it would not care about this group of trash.
However, in order to achieve its goal, the power of the Goblins was indispensable at this moment.
With this thought in mind, it kicked the Goblin on the ground and asked.
"Where are the others? Why are there so many missing? "
After hearing Gru's words, a trace of confusion flashed across the Goblin's face. Then, it suddenly realized something and screamed "ah ah ah" while at the same time, it gestured something.
"Hmm? You said they saw a human woman passing by outside the ruins? They went to catch her? "
Gru frowned.
Hearing this, the Goblin nodded repeatedly.
After receiving confirmation from the other party, Gru squinted its eyes slightly.
"A human woman?"
The nearest human kingdom to the Elf Forest was a few hundred kilometers away. Human caravans would only pass by this place during summer. How could there be a human woman?
This group of trash, I'm afraid they are crazy for a female!
Gru flung the Goblin away and walked towards the edge of the Fei Lengcui ruins.
As it moved forward, Gru's face became gloomier.
This was because it realized that the number of Goblins in the ruins was much lower than it expected.
"I'm afraid at least 200 of them have escaped …"
It gritted its teeth and said.
While Gru was moving forward, there was a commotion in the southwest direction of the Fei Lengcui ruins.
Gru raised its eyebrows and walked over quietly …
…
At the southwest entrance of the Fei Lengcui ruins.
Demacia, who had disguised himself, was here as usual.
Not only that, but in order to attract more elite monsters, he even boldly walked into the inner part of the ruins.
"Come on, you bunch of little cuties!"
Looking at the Goblins who were gradually attracted to him, Demacia sneered in his heart.
However, suddenly, an instinctive sense of danger rose in his heart.
Demacia's heart tightened. He felt as if he was being stared at by a vicious poisonous snake …
The senses of an Elf's body were very sharp.
Demacia almost instinctively turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
When he saw the source of the sense of danger, he instantly felt his scalp go numb.
On a dilapidated stone tablet in the ruins, a goblin covered in a dark robe was looking at him coldly.
It was the Goblin High Priest, Gru.
Demacia could clearly feel the sinister and terrifying aura on his body even though he was tens of meters away.
"Damn … Unlucky, I definitely attracted a Boss!"
Feeling the Goblin's gaze, Demacia complained in his heart.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving …"
He did not hesitate and turned to escape.
"A human woman …"
Gru let out a soft laugh.
At first glance, it recognized that this so-called "woman" seemed to have cast some kind of disguise spell on her.
Could she be a mercenary?
Gru had some guesses in its heart.
However, since it had discovered the other party, it did not intend to let her escape.
Two hundred missing Goblins was not a small number!
It must definitely catch this abominable bastard!
Gru gritted its teeth in its heart.
It was not worried about whether there was any hidden mercenary force behind the other party. Since the other party did not dare to appear in front of it openly, it meant that the other party knew that its strength was not as good as its.
If the other party had to use such a sinister method to deal with the Goblins, it meant that the other party had a guilty conscience!
Thinking of this, it decisively waved its huge Skeleton Staff. An extremely sinister and cold energy was emitted from the orb on the staff.
Accompanied by waves of strange energy waves, large Skeleton Hands stretched out from under Demacia's feet and grabbed at his legs …
At the same time, Eve, who was watching the livestream in the Divinity Space, felt her soul tremble. Suddenly, she felt a throbbing from the bottom of her heart.
