Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 172 - 167 Spider Queen Rose

Chapter 172: Chapter 167 Spider Queen Rose

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the Spider Empress’s body shrank further and transformed into a humanoid shape.

However, her transformation was incomplete; her body’s main form still retained the appearance of a spider, with only the upper half resembling a humanoid female, quite fitting for a Monster Girl.

Her upper body appeared to be that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Perhaps influenced by Eve’s Divine Power, she had a few elven features, with a delicate and even somewhat cute appearance. Additionally… she had pointed ears like an elf.

She possessed a pair of scarlet eyes, which inherited certain spider-like qualities. They appeared crimson and luminous, resembling gemstones, while beneath her eyes, on both sides of her face, three curved lines were visible.

Those were three additional pairs of eyes that remained closed, indistinguishable when shut.

Her hair was black, matching the color of her chitinous armor, reaching her shoulders and draping down her back.

Her skin was very pale, almost translucent, creating a stark contrast with her black chitin armor and hair.

Her upper body was not clothed, revealing her pure white skin and small navel. However, two rows of chitinous armor, gleaming with a deep sheen, wrapped around her sides, extending to her chest, covering the essential areas and forming a spider-shaped pattern on her chest…

*This… was now the appearance of the Spider Insect Queen.*

She had transformed into a humanoid shape, with a slightly dazed expression on her face.

*However… she quickly realized the changes in her body and excitedly extended a pair of white arms.*

And the eight spider legs beneath her shifted with her movements, causing her upper body to twist and turn, constantly craning her neck to observe her new form.

*That kind of joyful appearance seemed somewhat cute.*

“Whoa!”

“Whoa!!”

The players observing from a distance opened their mouths in astonishment upon witnessing the Spider Empress’s transformation.

Then, a peculiar excitement followed:

“Monster Girl, huh? It’s actually a Monster Girl!”

“Hiss—kinda cute.”

“Wake up! Her true form is a big spider!”

“Still a spider loli!”

“Shouldn’t it be considered a young girl?”

“No, she didn’t meet the standards.”

“Affects development, huh! Ah… the chitinous armor on the upper body is so distracting!”

“What a pity, why didn’t the lower body transform along?”

“Wouldn’t that be even better? A Monster Girl!”

“You have an unusual taste…”

“Speaking of spider Monster Girls… I think I came across a similar story… ”

“Ahem… Let’s have a word privately…”

“Hey, can you guys get any more vulgar?”

Alice: …

Listening to the players’ discussions, which grew increasingly excited and gentlemanly, she twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

At this moment, the Spider Empress confirmed her new form and looked back at the goddess floating in mid-air.

With her body now smaller, she could only look up at Eve.

Of course, the equipment strung together by her legs had long since scattered to the ground with her transformation.

The Spider Empress knelt deeply before Eve in the air.

Along with her, thousands of Earth Cave Spiders also bowed once more.

Their heads were lowered even further…

At this moment, Eve suddenly sensed that a star in the sky of her Divine Country lit up once again, incredibly bright!

That was… the faith of the Spider Empress!

In just an instant, Eve received feedback of 3 Divine Power points from the Spider Empress’s belief, and the intensity of that belief leaped from minor believer directly to devout believer status!

*Legendary rank was an existence that transcended mortal ranks.*

*Becoming legendary meant an ascension of the level of life, making a substantial increase in lifespan, and gradually accessing the world’s essence—the Power of Laws!*

*For every high-level magic beast that awakened intelligence, legendary rank was the realm they yearned for in their dreams!*

Eve’s gift solidly won over the Spider Empress’s heart in an instant.

Eve was delighted to find that, although the Spider Empress was only at the level of a devout believer, the faith she provided was comparable to that of Alice, a Saint.

*As expected of a hive-mind lifeform, the Soul Power was indeed strong!*

Eve was very satisfied.

“Hiss… ah…”

At this time, Eve heard a crisp shout from the Spider Insect Queen.

Unlike her insect form, her voice sounded much nicer now, akin to that of a teenage girl.

*Can’t talk…*

Eve pondered.

Not all Demon Beasts could speak like Black Dragon Mairrel.

Dragons, although classified as Demon Beasts, were intelligent creatures by nature and were born with the ability to use language. Moreover, the Dragon Clan’s heritage included a system for universal language inheritance.

Ordinary Demon Beasts couldn’t do that.

Generally speaking, ordinary Demon Beasts gained the ability of telepathy after advancing to high-levels, allowing different beings to communicate through mental dialogues.

In mental communication, even if language barriers existed, they could understand each other’s meaning.

The earlier interaction between Eve and the Spider Empress was based on this.

Upon reaching legendary level, ordinary Demon Beasts could master linguistic skills similar to those of other intelligent beings.

*Of course… they had to start learning languages from scratch.*

*However, this was no problem at all for Eve, a True God.*

Floating down from the air, she once again approached the Spider Empress and gently placed her hand on her head.

The Spider Empress shivered, lowering her head even further to show her submission.

“Universal Language Inheritance…”

Eve silently chanted in her heart.

With her will, Divine Power activated, and a gentle stream of mental energy flowed into the Spider Empress’s mind…

A few seconds later, Eve released her hand.

The Insect Queen raised her head, her eyes briefly showing confusion before displaying a hint of joy.

She bowed once again to Eve and awkwardly praised,

“Praise… to you, Great… World Tree! Thank… you for… your gift…”

Her voice was tender and crisp, akin to a singing nightingale.

*Eve felt a sudden impulse, her mischievousness surfacing once more.*

Her lips turned up slightly as she spoke with majestic and holy authority,

“Since you have become my clansman and have ascended to legendary, then let me give you a name.”

“From now on, you will be called Rose.”

“Spider Queen—Rose!”

*Hmm, not bad at all.*

*Looking young, hence not calling her Ross but Rose.*

*Of course, it sounded the same when spoken, written the same in the Seggs universal language, just different in Chinese…*

“Puh… Just missing the Zor Elf.”

Upon hearing the goddess’s naming, a seasoned Western fantasy fan among the players couldn’t help but laugh.

However, he was quickly silenced by the terrifying hissing of the surrounding Earth Cave Spiders…

Upon hearing Eve’s words, Spider Queen Rose bowed once more:

“Rose… thanks… True God’s… grace… for naming…”

Eve was very pleased. She nodded and continued speaking,

“From now on, continue to be stationed at Rivendell, assisting my other clansmen in exploring the Underworld!”

She then transferred the prepared mount system into Rose’s mind and activated her related game privileges, designating her as the second purple NPC, next to Saintess Alice!

Rose shuddered, respectfully saluting Eve, replying,

“Rose… obeys… the oracle!”

Seeing Rose’s display, Eve nodded slightly.

She then turned to glance at the onlooking players, offering them a playful smile, saying,

“Please continue to work hard! Brave Chosen Ones!”

After finishing, her figure slowly shattered, transforming into a radiant Holy Light, disappearing from the world.

The sacred and solemn atmosphere also gradually faded as Eve’s avatar vanished…

The players then became excited:

“Oh my gosh, the goddess actually smiled at me just now!”

“No, she clearly smiled at me!”

“The goddess’s smile is beautiful!”

As they chatted excitedly, a system notification sounded:

[Ding——]

[Hidden BOSS quest completed!]

[All players involved in the mission, receive 3 perfect resurrection chances, 10,000 experience points, and 1,000 contribution points]

With the players’ increasing strength, Eve increased the quest’s experience points and contribution points accordingly to meet their needs.

However, the system notification did not end there…

[Ding——]

[Earth Cave Spiders’ status changed to friendly, Spider Queen Rose’s favorability display enabled]

[Ding——]

[Mount system activated…]

Seeing the series of system notifications, players became thrilled.

“Haha, the quest is completed!”

“Ten thousand experience points and a thousand contribution points, not bad!”

“The key is the mount system is activated!”

“Let’s check it out!”

They eagerly examined their system.

As expected, a new mount feature appeared in the system menu!

Meanwhile, players noticed that the Earth Cave Spiders became like the Elf Natives, and they could no longer attack them.

Whenever they had the urge to attack, they lost the ability to act.

Currently, the first mount available in the system was the Earth Cave Spider!

However… to truly acquire a mount, they still had to seek out Spider Queen Rose and complete the corresponding tasks.

One critical requirement was favorability…

At least, they needed to raise Spider Queen Rose’s favorability to 20 points.

*Wait… boosting favorability?*

The players paused, actively checking their favorability with Spider Queen Rose.

Upon seeing the favorability rating, they were taken aback yet unsurprised, feeling it was inevitable:

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

“Whoa! Minus 50 points!”

“Whoa! Me too!”

“Darn… why is mine minus 100?”

“Puh… isn’t this Hu Lu? Yours was the team that provoked her first; what in the world did you do?”

“Ahem… just tossed a few homemade explosives into the spider nest…”

Other players: …

“You guys might as well forget ever having a spider mount…”

Hu Lu: …

Boxed Lunch: …

Upon seeing their favorability ratings…

Players finally understood what the goddess meant by telling them to do their best while leaving.
