Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

Different from the murals in the previous room, there is no figure suspected to be the creator god behind the elven goddess. Fighting alongside her is a lady with a dignified and beautiful appearance, wearing a classical robe, with a sunbird perched on her shoulder.

"Is this a goddess...?" Jasmine's voice tinged with doubt. Records of the War of the Gods were filled with gaps and ambiguities. The only clear record of the Sun Goddess and the Elf Goddess joining forces was during the battle against the God of Death. Furthermore, based on the depiction style of the ancient murals, the gods, with similar figures and fighting side by side, should have similar strengths. This contradicted religious texts that claimed the Sun Goddess was uniquely powerful among the gods. But since the Sun Goddess's image was depicted on the murals, it couldn't be wrong.

Zhou Ning was also somewhat surprised. He had many questions in his mind. Since the Elf Goddess and the Sun Goddess were sisters, and their powers were very similar... what had happened to cause the Elf Goddess to disappear into the long river of history, and even have her power stolen by the Dark Spider Mother? Had she not arranged any backup plan for her revival before she fell into slumber?

While waiting for the results of the exploration, Zhou Ning's thoughts wandered aimlessly.

Then, ignoring the noisy players, he walked out of the room with the lantern and headed towards the middle door.

In his opinion, similar to the Tomb of the Elf King, the door in the middle must be the most core area of ​​this ancient building.

Of course, the danger level is also the highest.

At this time, the Wolfhound Squad's avatars had turned red, and they had obviously entered combat mode. This lasted for less than 10 seconds before all five avatars turned black, and it was obvious that they had died.

After a while, the players who came back from collecting corpses turned pale and brought new discoveries.

"Inside was a place that looked a bit like a ceremony hall. The hall was filled with thick fog, and there were many ghosts like before. Deeper into the hall, there was a large tree that looked somewhat illusory, and seemed to be the source of the fog. But after entering the hall, we were teleported to another place and died without doing anything."

Zhou Ning was slightly startled. It sounded a bit tricky. What kind of thing could teleport?

"Besides, we found these things."

Jinse rummaged in her arms and pulled out some small debris, spreading it on her palm. It seemed to be wood debris, with a hint of dazzling brilliance.

[Mahogany Wood Shavings (1/500): A very valuable alchemical material. Every 500 pieces can be combined into one piece of Mahogany Wood.]

Zhou Ning: ???

He picked up a piece of debris and examined it, confirming it was indeed tung wood. He asked, "Where did you find it?"

Shuidi Chenxing replied, "There are a lot of them around that tree. We discovered them when we were being chased by those ghosts. The deeper we went, the more of them there were. We were teleported when we walked around the tree."

Zhou Ning frowned, his heart pounding. That was 杺木, essential for making dragon blood potions and certain high-end ceremonial items!

In my common sense, 杺木 (杺木) is a tree that grows in the human mind, so it was strange to find one growing in an underground ruin. But for me, this was actually an opportunity. I just needed a large amount of 杺木 (杺木) to make my own ceremonial gear and alchemical tools!

Zhou Ning gave each member of the Wolfhound Squad an extra bonus experience point as a reward and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the experience gained, several people immediately smiled with joy. The other players were also envious and looked forward to the next task.

Looking at the players' shining eyes, Zhou Ning couldn't bear to disappoint their expectations. After thinking for a while, he began to write new tasks.

I'm still not sure what's going on inside. The teleportation they're talking about is too abstract, and the person I just noticed watching me might be hiding somewhere. I'll stand at a safe distance and let the other players clear out the ghosts and help me collect the wood chips. This will also allow me to see how teleportation actually works.

The players don't know what this thing is, but he knows it very well. He can use the game panel to synthesize these wood chips, which are very valuable, and he can use the information gap to make a profit.

Even though it was already midnight, facing this once-in-a-lifetime main quest, no player was willing to log off. Everyone was ready to fight until dawn, and would continue to work hard as long as they didn't burn out.

"I need you to help me continue cleaning up this underground ruin. Hawkeye will assist you in cleaning out those ghosts. Pay attention to your own safety. If you find anything, notify me immediately." Zhou Ning quickly wrote the task and distributed it.

"Reward Pool Mission: Clean the Ceremony Hall."

Of course, this was another prize pool mission. This time, to motivate players, he set the initial prize pool at 600 million experience points. For someone like him who could easily earn hundreds of millions of experience points, it was nothing; after all, the experience points would always return to him in other ways.

The task requires you to kill the ghost and bring back the wood chips on the ground for him. Contribution points can be accumulated through both methods.

Seeing such generous rewards, players are eager to show their skills.

Zhou Ning, holding a lantern, walked into the half-open bronze gate in the middle. A moon was carved above it as a symbol. Unlike the previous two gates, there was a line of Elven writing below the moon symbol.

Using the reader's expertise, Zhou Ning naturally thought of the name after the interpretation:

"Dream Hall."

The fog ahead continued to thicken, making it impossible to see what was ahead. Meanwhile, his observation Haki had returned to a state where it could no longer penetrate. Zhou Ning stood silently for a moment, pretending to observe the murals on either side as he watched the players approach him. This gave him a better view and made it easier to protect the players (perhaps).

Before entering here, he had already set up marks in the mirror in his home. In case of any unexpected situation, he could hide in the mirror and return home through the mirror jump.

Damian's ordinary mirror is a very good safe house for him. As for players, they can choose to give up the corpse running and return to the cemetery to revive. However, it will lose 50% of the equipment durability and become weak for 45 minutes, which is not a big price to pay.

Just like what he had seen outside, many green bubbles emerged from the depths of the fog. Players who collided with them received a special effect of "accelerated health recovery," but Zhou Ning still felt that the place was still eerie and terrifying.

In the mist, one could still see the shadowy figures of many ghosts. Unlike those outside, the ghosts here were all elves, but they were dressed more like ordinary citizens, and they gathered in groups of two or three, chatting with each other.

Some of them were playing recorders, some were chasing and playing. If their bodies were not transparent, Zhou Ning would almost feel that they were still living in a bustling elf kingdom.

"This seems to be a vision from some historical past, but it's more than just a vision... At least these ghosts are real. And they'll attack anyone who trespasses. I don't know why, but it feels a bit creepy."

Zhou Ning let out a breath and watched the players howling and rushing towards the ghosts in front. For a moment, he felt that ignorance was the happiest thing. He was alert and prepared for any special situation.

If his guess was correct, the Wolf Worship Cult's High Priest Negan Hart wouldn't be too far away from him, but the fog here was too thick and visibility was too low.
