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

He dismounted, looked at the simulated house with a horrified look, and then walked over.

"You're here, Alva."

Ye Yiyi nodded at him, so Alva looked at the old hunter again and saluted as a knight.

"Long time no see, Hunter Agosto."

"You too, Alva."

The old hunter took off his hat and greeted him, looking back and forth between him and Ye Yiyi with some curiosity.

"You seem to know Mr. Gus?"

"We've just met, and he left a deep impression on me." Alva looked at Ye Yiyi with a complicated expression.

"As expected of Mr. Gus, wherever he goes, he always leaves a deep impression."

The old hunter Agosto smiled, but the scars on his face made his smile look a little hideous.

Hearing this, Ye Yiyi rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and looked at the simulated house behind him.

"Let's save the reminiscing and flattery for later. Let's get the real work done first."

"That's right." Agosto turned his head and looked over. When he saw the hunter's clothes stained with blood, his eyes deepened slightly.

"Unfortunately, today we lost two more brave hunters."

"My condolences, Agosto."

Alva sighed softly, "If it weren't for them and Master Guts, who knows how many innocent people would have died tragically at the hands of monsters... Let us take care of the protection."

"Thank you for your help." Agosto took off his hat and greeted.

The Fire Crown Knights all returned the greetings to Agosto.

"See you later, Mr. Gus," said Alva.

"See you later." Ye Yiyi replied.

"Ugh……"

He let out a long sigh, glanced at the old hunter, and then walked towards the simulated house together.

The remaining hunters dispersed to survey, guard, and perform their duties.

"This is a very ancient mimic monster. It is said that when it completes its mimicry, it is completely indistinguishable from normal creatures."

The old hunter looked at the house and couldn't help but marvel at it.

"It's the same after death." Ye Yiyi continued.

At this moment, the mimic monster is no different from a complete house.

The huge upright mouth and the pair of human eyes had disappeared, the door was closed, and the window was half cracked. Except for the severed gray-black arms, the monster's features had completely disappeared.

This is also the reason why Arvid asked just now.

"This will save me some trouble. I don't want to crawl into that upright mouth."

Ye Yiyi came to the door and took out a key.

This is the key found on Federico, the key to the basement of the old mansion.

He inserted the key into the hole and turned it to open it.

"We should wait until you come before exploring." Agosto sighed softly at the sight.

"It's not your fault. Who knew it was a mimicking monster?" Ye Yiyi was also helpless.

He pushed the door open, hung up the waist lamp and turned it on, illuminating the surroundings.

Chapter 147 [Defection Cross]

Although he had prepared himself mentally, the scene behind the door, or the interior of the simulated house, still surprised Ye Yiyi.

This is a spacious space consisting of a stone brick corridor and multiple rooms.

"Isn't the size a little off?"

He walked out of the door, looked at the size of the house, and then looked at the extremely spacious interior space, which was obviously not in line with the exterior, and felt a little incredible.

"How is this done? Magic?"

"This seems to be a characteristic shared by all mimic monsters," said the old hunter Agosto thoughtfully.

"Mr. Gus, have you ever seen a treasure chest monster?"

"There aren't any treasure chest monsters yet."

Ye Yiyi answered truthfully that he had only seen treasure chest monsters in games and they did not exist in reality.

The Mimic is an extremely classic mimic monster.

It can completely mimic various treasure chests to attract people to open it.

Once opened, the treasure chest monster will show its fangs and eat the person who opened the treasure chest in one bite.

"That's it."

Agosto said, "Like this mimic house, the Mimic has a huge space inside that doesn't match its exterior. Researchers say that's its capture sac, specifically used to store corpses."

He looked at the walls of the houses around him by the light of the lamp and sighed again:

"But this is the first time I've seen a capture capsule transformed into a house... or rather, a mimic monster this large."

"Is that so?" Ye Yiyi thought thoughtfully.

He walked inside and came to the first door on the left side of the wall.

Agosto didn't dare go deeper. He kept taking oil lamps from hunters outside and hanging them on the wall.

Pushing the door open, I saw an extremely messy room behind it.

This seems to be a storage room for various gardening tools. Ceramic pots of various sizes are placed on the cabinet next to it, and various shovels are hung scattered on the wall.

The ground was littered with fragments of various pottery pots and messy footprints covered with mud.

"It seems that Federico and his men have already searched this place thoroughly..."

The mask magic ring on his finger was the one they looted from here.

But why didn't the mimic house eat them at that time? Ye Yiyi pondered for a moment and thought of many possibilities.

There was nothing valuable here, so Ye Yiyi walked out the door and entered the room opposite.

The room was in about the same mess as before.

One can imagine how rampant Federico was when he raided this place.

"This old house has been in Garden Village for some time." said the old hunter Agosto standing at the door.

"The Archbishop of Holy Blood, who later became famous throughout the duchy and even half the kingdom, was originally just a young gardener."

"Have you seen him when he was young?" Ye Yiyi asked curiously.

"How could that be possible?" Agosto smiled. "Back then, I was still wandering around the northern polar region, helping the Zhige Palace build a scientific research station."

“It was an amazing experience.”

"Compared to the Archbishop of Holy Blood, it's nothing."

Agosto said quietly, "From being an ordinary gardener to becoming the supreme ruler of a country, the experiences he went through are unimaginable to ordinary people."

"It was the Lord of Holy Blood who changed his life."

Ye Yiyi sighed, continued forward, came to the second door and pushed it open.

"That god made him realize the vastness of the world and gave him the ambition to stand at the highest point and see the most distant scenery."

He looked at the restraining cross behind the door and the dried dark golden divine blood on the stone wall, and couldn't help but sigh.

"So he chose to betray and tied a former god and best friend to a cross..."

Agosto walked over silently, glanced at the cross behind the door, lowered his eyes and shook his head.

"The Lord of Holy Blood, like all gods, made a fatal mistake."

"What's this? Is it a mistake?"

"You trust humans too much."

"..."

Ye Yiyi didn't know how to respond to this question.

Human beings are too chaotic and too complicated.

In comparison, gods cannot be so complex. Their personality traits are related to their divinity and are fixed from birth.

Given the temperament of the Lord of Holy Blood, he is a bloodthirsty beast when facing other gods, but he is extremely kind when facing his believers and friends.

Therefore, he was tied to this cross.

Looking at the wooden cross dyed dark gold by the blood of God, Ye Yiyi sighed and reached out to touch it.

The old hunter Agosto watched this scene from behind and was hesitant to speak.

That thing has been soaked in divine blood. What if it is contaminated by divinity?

But Lord Guts is different from ordinary people. As a curse hunter and suspected ancient dragon, he will not be contaminated by divinity.

"puff!"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Ye Yiyi leaned on the cross and spat out a mouthful of dark golden divine blood.

"Master Guts!!"

Agosto was shocked and just as he was about to walk over, Ye Yiyi raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm fine. The vomiting of blood is due to the divine pollution of the Lord of Holy Blood. I'll take a break for a while. I'll be fine once the divine pollution subsides."

"…Are you sure?"

"puff!!"

He bent down and spat out a large mouthful of dark golden divine blood onto the ground again.

Agosto took a step back with a grimace, not daring to speak.

"We have a Humanity Potion...if you, uh."

The old hunter reacted and his expression suddenly darkened. The potion of humanity contained the divinity of the human god, and it could only work on humans. What use was it to the ancient dragon?

"No, I don't need that. But you should be careful. There's still a lot of divine pollution in this place..."

“Also, I got the key to this basement from Federico. Sir Federico’s son led a group of people to rob this place a month ago… Puff!

“…Ahem, when I met them later, I didn’t see any divine contamination, but you can’t say for sure about his family. You’d better get someone to get them tested…Pfft!!”

Agosto's face changed when he heard that.

"Is there such a thing?!"

He hurried out of the room to inform the other hunters.

Ye Yiyi took out a piece of linen and wiped his mouth. He looked at the light screen in front of the cross and sighed, "This thing is really powerful..."
