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

"what?"

Bai Yu was surprised and puzzled, and hurried to catch up.

"But what reason did he have to abandon his companions and take the risk alone?"

"You'll know when you find him."

Ye Yiyi said calmly, and took out the [Priest's Crown] from behind and put it on his head, then took out the Psalm Book and prepared for battle.

He always had a bad feeling about Wattol's departure.

People like this who are so incompetent and dare to go alone usually don't have a good ending in the game.

Hopefully, Wattol won't be the first.

Walking deeper, they soon arrived at the end of the hall.

The brightness here was not high, so Ye Yiyi took out the waist lamp and hung it up, then turned the brightness up to the maximum. Then he saw a winding vine extending from the ceiling of the hall and finally landing on the square steps.

However, unlike the blue-black vine veins in the outside world, this one is independent and slender, and looks like a winding vine vein being enshrined, and is purple.

"It's the Lucky Vine!"

Bai Yu saw the purple vine and his eyes lit up.

"Lucky vine? What is that?"

Ye Yiyi looked around and asked, then found a staircase leading to the upper level on the marble wall not far to the right.

"Lucky vine, as the name suggests, is a vine that will temporarily bring good luck after the worship!

"This is an important tradition of worshipping the Lingering Temple. It is also a ritual of communicating with the earth's veins. In return, the earth's veins will bestow various blessings.

"Different colored vine veins have different effects. Purple, for example, represents luck!"

After Bai Yu finished explaining, he stood in front of the purple vines, lowered his head slightly, crossed his fingers and clenched his fists in front of him, as if praying.

"Does the Lingering Vine Vein have this effect?"

Ye Yiyi withdrew his gaze and looked at Bai Yu who was praying earnestly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"It sounds like an additional state with a certain time limit. Why isn't there such a setting in the game?"

After about 10 seconds, Bai Yu stood up straight, turned his head and looked over, and suggested with a little excitement.

"Michaela, come and worship with us."

"I don't know where Wattol has gone."

Although he muttered this, he still stood in front of the purple vines and began to worship in the same manner as Bai Yu.

More than ten seconds later, a simplified light curtain flew in front of him and a line of words popped up.

[I have worshipped the Lucky Vine, my luck has increased! I have received permission to meet with the Emperor!]

“Is it really effective?”

He was surprised. Luck value only affects the drops of monsters in the game, so how to calculate luck value in reality?

And what is this audience permission?

As if sensing Ye Yiyi's doubts, Bai Yu continued to explain.

"Following the procedures for worshipping the Lingering Temple, we will then proceed to the Goblin Chapel to register, and then we can meet the incarnation of the Earth Vein."

"The Goblin Chapel?" Ye Yiyi was surprised. "There are goblins here?"

"Each lingering vine vein is guarded by a goblin. After all, only they can comb the earth veins, which is also one of the goblins' main jobs."

"So that's how it is." Ye Yiyi nodded in understanding.

As for the permission to meet with the emperor, it naturally refers to the incarnation of the earth vein.

After the service, he pointed to the stairs on the side.

"Let's go, there's a way up here."

"it is good."

The staircase leading up was quite long. The two of them walked for more than ten minutes and climbed an unknown number of flights of stairs before they finally reached the end.

This is a spacious semi-open hall, with one side of the wall supported by several round arch columns, and bright firelight coming in from outside.

But the walls and ceilings here are covered with huge green fungi.

Deep in the hall, there stands a protruding metal gate.

Ye Yiyi looked towards the door and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"How could it be him?!"

In front of the metal gate with a slight crack, the disappeared Wator was being strangled by the neck and held in the hands of a tall knight wearing metal armor, with brown vines wrapped around his body and small trees growing on his head and shoulders.

"Watol!!!"

Bai Yu drew his mace and axe, his eyes widening with anger, "Let go of our companions!"

"M... Michaela? Run... run away..."

Wattol heard the call and let out a faint moan from his flushed face.

"escape……!"

The Tree Knight who had appeared beside the Earth Mother Bishop slowly turned his head and looked over, but silently carried Wator and turned to walk into the metal gate behind him.

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Ye Yiyi activated the hymn [Gallop] that he had prepared long ago. His legs almost turned into afterimages as he rushed towards the gate at a speed that was impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

"boom!!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and Ye Yiyi's eyes went dark, and he felt that he was hit head-on by a huge truck!

The body that was running at high speed suddenly flew out and fell heavily on the wall.

"Click!!"

Due to this interference, the metal door, which was already a crack, closed with a crisp metallic sound.

"What the hell! What the hell!!"

He steadied the crown on his head, gritted his teeth and looked up angrily.

"Fizz!"

Amidst a strange sound, a giant centipede smashed the arch pillars of the hall and poked its huge head with two long tentacles into the hall from the outside.

The simplified light curtain flew over at a high speed, leaving a long groove in front of it.

"Michaela! Are you okay?" The female knight hurried over with a hammer and axe and stood side by side with him.

"I am fine."

Ye Yiyi shook his head, listening to the strange hymns coming from the void, and saw the blood bar in the groove in front of him filling up rapidly.

"Hiss!!"

As the giant centipede raised its head and made a shrill cry, eight large words appeared on the blood bar.

[Immortal Worm: Hundred-legged Evil]

Chapter 239: The temple encounters an undead centipede giant, as strong as a monster, and tries its best to defeat it!

A shrill, piercing hymn resounded in the void, interspersed with an eerie alto chant, making this already bizarre boss battle even more ominous.

Ye Yiyi held the priest's crown steady, took out the Mount of the Holy Trinity from behind him, and placed it aside heavily.

"The immortal insect, the evil-born centipede...it's a pretty cool name, but it's a pity that they had to call it Immortal when there are so many other names."

He lowered his eyes, with rage burning in them.

"The last person who claimed to be dead is already dead, because he was my enemy! Let me see how long you can hold out before dying!"

"Mikaela! Don't underestimate the enemy!"

Bai Yu stared at the giant centipede whose upper body stood up, his eyes full of vigilance.

"This bug is different from the previous enemies. I sense a threat from it!"

"It's just a giant bug."

Ye Yiyi sneered at the female knight's warning, then took out the Sanctuary and held it forward.

"If you dare to stand in my way, I'll kill you in seconds!"

Combat Skill: Universal Light!!

Brilliant sacred golden light emerged from the sword and spear, and light spots condensed from all directions and wrapped around the sharp golden sword.

“Sah!!”

A golden beam of light suddenly shot out with a mighty momentum.

"Fizz!"

But just as the beam of light was about to hit, the heavy body of the evil centipede suddenly twisted and tangled, allowing the beam of light to brush past its body and suddenly avoid this terrifying attack.

"What's with that dexterity?!" Ye Yiyi was stunned. "He can even dodge that?!"

"Fizz!"

The beam of light disappeared, and the evil centipede stretched its body again. The huge insect head looked down at it like a snake, and the strange cry it made seemed to be mocking it.

"That's no ordinary bug!"

Bai Yu said solemnly, "It lives on the lingering vines. It's clearly an accomplice of the guy who kidnapped Wator. We can't treat it with common sense!"

"The immortal insect..."

Ye Yiyi nodded and chewed on the name silently.

Immortality can only come from the immortal tree, and the name of this insect is the evil-born centipede.

What is its relationship with the fungus?

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said to Bai Yu.

"Give me two minutes, and then I'll finish it off!"

"it is good!"

Bai Yu carried out all of Ye Yiyi's requests without asking any reasons and without hesitation.

She nodded heavily, kicked the ground with one foot, held a hammer and axe in one hand and a big sword in the other, and leaped towards the evil centipede.

"Fizz!"

The immortal insect's tentacles danced on its head and made strange sounds.

It suddenly moved its heavy, dark blue body covered with various mushrooms. At this moment, it was as agile as a snake and as unstoppable as a train roaring past.

The centipede's head spun in the air, then fell heavily from the air, smashing heavily towards the female knight who was running towards it.

Bai Yu's expression remained unchanged, but he misstepped and suddenly jumped seven or eight meters to the side.

"boom!!"

The blue-black head fell heavily, the ground shook violently, the marble floor shattered, and all kinds of gravel flew out with a power comparable to a cannon explosion.

"boom!!"

The evil centipede missed its attack and its heavy body fell to the ground. Its head rose from the gravel pit and swept the ground around it violently.

"Humph!"

Bai Yu's face turned cold, and he jumped high before the centipede's body swept across and hit him. White light emerged from the hammer and axe in his hand, and he hit the blue-black fungus shell heavily while dodging in mid-air.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a white light burst out, the fire wrinkled, and then a loud explosion was heard.

Bai Yu fell to the ground from the air, turned his head and looked, and was surprised.

"what?!"

The evil centipede took a blow from his explosive hammer, but its blue-black body was unharmed. However, most of the mushrooms on its body shattered and fell to the ground from the air.
