This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"These two hoops are for you, don't be too sad."

"I'm not sad."

Ye Yiyi picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp. Then he raised his eyebrows at the boss and said, "Just wait and see. I will catch those thieves right now!"

"Ah?" The boss who was trying to comfort her looked dazed.

Ye Yiyi walked out of the tavern again, then looked up at the sky. A dung beetle flapped its wings and fell from the sky, waving its limbs towards him.

"Okay! Now that we know the location, let's go!"

Chapter 127: Phantom Wall and Old Flower Field (Update 15/44)

Before entering the tavern, Ye Yiyi thought of the warning of the soldiers at the town gate and deliberately left the dung beetle outside.

If it is still that small black bug, then it doesn't matter.

But now that it has drunk the blood of the gods and transformed from an ordinary dung beetle into a holy blood dung beetle, the shit-seeking little brother is different.

Ordinary Duchy soldiers would be crushed by its "strength", and even well-trained Eagle Knights would not be able to kill it even with their combat skills, and could only fall into a stalemate.

Dung beetles don't have any means of attack, and their only way to fight is to fly over and ram someone in the face... or fly into the sky and transform into a dung bomber.

Even though it is so harmless to humans and animals, as an insect with a huge body, it can still cause panic in some people.

Ye Yiyi didn't want to get into trouble, so she didn't bring it along, but who knew that it would happen to happen this time?

What he didn't expect was that there would be a thief so bold as to stand in front of someone's store and steal the goods out of nothing.

After Virgil was abducted by that man, the little brother Shit Finder immediately followed him and found the other party's current hideout.

One is located on a cliff in the Cataclysm Rift.

In other words, the thieves found a way into the interior of the rift.

"This is such a pleasant surprise." He couldn't help thinking.

He originally planned to rest tonight and set out to explore the rift valley during the day tomorrow.

But since someone brought him a pillow, it would be very rude for him not to lie down on it.

As he left the town along the road, soldiers tried to stop him.

The reason is very simple:

It is too dangerous to go out alone at night. If you encounter a Scorpio King, not only will you not be able to find the horse, you may also lose your life. Why bother?

But seeing Ye Yiyi's firm attitude, the soldiers had no choice but to let him go.

Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.

He is not the only victim. Since people insist on getting to the bottom of it, let them do it.

Walking along the wind-eroded rock wall to the center of the road, the dung beetle suddenly flew into the sky.

Seeing that there was no one in front or behind, Ye Yiyi stopped pretending and jumped up, wrapped in a strong wind and jumped thirty meters high.

He stepped on the honeycomb rock wall eroded by wind and sand, used the force to leap to the opposite rock wall, and then used the force to jump up again.

Amidst the howling wind, the black cloak behind him rustled.

After several jumps, he was already standing at the highest point of the steep rock.

Letting the dung beetle land on his shoulder, Ye Yiyi looked towards the north in the cold wind brought by the extreme temperature difference between day and night in the desert climate.

Under the bright moonlight of the azure eternal moon, a huge crack, like a painful scar on the earth, stretched from east to west across the distant land.

"This is the Calamity Rift, the aftermath of the battle between the kings and the curse."

Ye Yiyi stepped forward, relying on his 50 points of strength to jump and fly on the rock wall, and soon reached the end of the rock.

The Disaster Rift was right under him. Ye Yi looked carefully and found a huge stone bridge spanning the two ends of the rift.

The bridge is located at the shortest point between the two ends of the rift, but even so, the length of the bridge is about 100 meters.

"What a huge project." He couldn't help but think.

Although he had the help of the Spread-Winged Eagle, the fact that he could build such a long bridge across the Great Rift Valley was enough to demonstrate the courage of the first Grand Duke Ritt.

"Where is the cliff you found?" Ye Yiyi asked the dung beetle on his shoulder.

After getting the exact location, he took out the telescope to check.

Then he discovered that on the cliff opposite the Disaster Rift, there was a huge rope net bag, which was wrapping a black horse and transporting it downwards.

That was Virgil.

Ye Yiyi also found that Virgil in the net bag did not resist or struggle. He guessed that the thieves might have used some kind of drug to prevent Virgil from interfering with their actions.

"But why did they transport the horses downwards?" Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In this era, not every family can afford to keep a horse.

Especially since Virgil is the best horse in Nanling Ranch, such a horse would be a bit of a waste even as a war horse.

If I sell it, I won’t have to worry about money for the rest of my life.

But the purpose of these thieves stealing the horses doesn't seem to be to sell them, otherwise why would they transport them to the bottom of the Disaster Rift?

Soon the net bag brought Virgil to an inconspicuous protruding rock wall.

Then Ye Yiyi actually saw two people walking out of the wind-eroded rock wall, untying the net bag on Virgil's body, and taking out something and shaking it in front of Virgil's nose.

So Virgil stood up woodenly and was led by the two men into the rock wall.

"What the hell! There is an illusion wall on the cliff?!" Ye Yiyi was stunned.

Phantom wall is a special terrain that appears in the game.

On the surface, it would be a normal wall or rock face.

But as long as you attack the wall with a weapon or roll against it, the wall will disappear like a phantom, revealing a passage leading to the inside.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for pioneering players to discover phantom walls without checking guides or advice left by other players.

And the phantom wall that Ye Yiyi discovered was even more outrageous.

It is actually located on the cliffs of the Disaster Rift!

"If I hadn't followed Virgil, I probably wouldn't have discovered this phantom wall." Ye Yiyi thought.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I absolutely cannot find it.

After all, this phantom wall will not disappear due to attacks, and it is located on a steep rock wall. It is impossible to find it unless someone leads the way.

Ye Yiyi raised the telescope and looked upwards, then found that the net bag had fallen down again, putting down two people.

One of them was the guy who cheated on him.

At the top of the rock wall, a man pushed a round wooden crane away and hid it in the rocks.

Ye Yiyi had an idea in mind, and then he took out a rainbow stone and threw it in front of the raised phantom wall from a distance.

Then he pulled out a flame-shaped two-handed sword from his back and leaped high towards the cliff in front of him.

Eagle Wing Surprise Attack!

The half-transparent, lush wings suddenly spread out behind him, and as they waved, a strong wind blew up, carrying Ye Yiyi towards the rock wall a hundred meters away.

Under the shelter of darkness and cold wind, no one noticed Ye Yiyi spreading his wings and flying across the rift valley.

Landing on the rocks opposite the Disaster Rift, he put the giant sword on his back and chased in the direction the man left.

After hiding the crane, the man followed the intricate rock wall and came to a windproof cave deep in the rock.

Ye looked around and found that the facilities here were complete, with a fire and a stove for boiling water on top.

There was a bed in the cave, and a linen curtain outside to block the wind.

"The soldiers said they showed up a month ago. It seems this guy has been living here for a while."

Seeing that there was no one else around and that the man was adding firewood to the fire, Ye Yiyi no longer hesitated. He jumped behind the man and put the giant sword in his hand on the man's neck.

The cold, flame-shaped blade was extremely long, long enough to make the man realize his situation.

He froze in place, and the action of adding firewood in his hand came to an abrupt stop.

"I ask, you answer."

Ye Yiyi spoke softly, her calm voice drowned out by the howling cold wind, as if the god of death was whispering.

"If you can't answer within three seconds, your head will fall off."

Even though there was a fire in front of him, the man still trembled slightly.

He is afraid.

"name."

"Brenda..."

To Ye Yiyi's surprise, the voice was not only young, but also had a hint of immaturity.

"age."

"Ten...sixteen."

Sure enough.

"Why steal the horse?"

"I...I don't know."

"Huh?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows. The boy was scared to death and so nervous that he told everything he knew in one breath.

"I...I really don't know! They just asked me to live here and be responsible for...looking after the crane for them. They give me some money every month, but they never let me go down!"

"who are they?"

"It's... it's Federico and his men. I really don't know what they're doing, really! Please don't kill me! Please!"

"If you say one more word of nonsense, your head will fall off."

"!!!"

The boy quickly covered his mouth and sobbed softly.

"Who is Federico?"

"He... he is... the son of our village chief..." The boy's voice was filled with tears.

"Which village and where is it?"

"In...in the north, woo woo, in the village near the old flower fields."

"Old flower field?"

"It's... it's the village where the Archbishop of the Holy Blood Order once lived."

"Oh?" Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

It's a little interesting.

Chapter 128 [Mask Ring]

Old flower fields, villages, and the archbishop's former residence.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Yiyi became interested immediately.

If nothing unexpected happens, the old flower field is where the Archbishop and the Lord of Holy Blood met by chance.

"But what does this have to do with your village chief's son stealing a horse?"

He stared at the sixteen-year-old boy named Brenda and asked coldly.

"It does matter! It does matter!" the boy answered anxiously.

“That’s…that’s because the village gave the Archbishop…his former residence is still in the village!

"Federico relied on being the village chief's son, and no one dared to control him, so he ran there for no reason. Then one day he suddenly found me, said he wanted to hire me, and then brought me here."

"About when did he come to see you?" Ye Yiyi asked.

"About a month and a half ago, I can't remember the exact day."
