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

But even immortal insects will eventually die.

After Bai Yu cut off its head, its physical body might have already died, which is why it could be easily infected by Ye Yiyi's false life.

Become an independent life.

Therefore, the evil fungi attached to the corpse created an abnormal parasitic state on it.

The vitality bestowed by the surging growth consumed the immortality, and was replaced by countless green mushrooms.

"So, the reason the immortal insect died was because its immortality was exhausted?"

He placed his hand thoughtfully on the green mushroom that was as tall as a person beside him, and a light curtain popped out.

[The Immortal Centipede's Evil Mushroom]

Item Description: A strange fungus born from the heart of the tree.

One of the fruiting mushrooms with strange effects.

A special mushroom peeled off from the immortal centipede.

One of the materials used to craft props.

If taken directly, it can gain a slight degree of immortality.

During the duration of the effect,

Improves resistance to the abnormal status effects of "Aging" and "Instant Death".

It is said that the immortal insect is a strange creature that lives on the king of immortal trees, the "Dead Green Wood".

In the process of co-reproduction and co-existence with the King of Trees,

They thus acquire immortality.

"Fuck! Awesome!"

Ye Yiyi's eyes widened. "This thing can actually be used as a resistance drug to death?!"

Doesn't that mean that by eating this, I can counter the original stagnation curse?!

But after the surprise, he quickly calmed down.

Of course, you can't do the opposite. Eating this mushroom can only improve your resistance, but it doesn't make you immune to death.

"But, are immortal insects actually insects that grow on dead and decaying trees?

"Withered green wood... the Immortal Tree King."

Ye Yiyi remembered the immortal seed he got when he killed the mother tree of Hewei in the King's workshop.

That was the first place where the dead and rotten green wood was mentioned in the item description.

Although the branches of the rainbow tree in their hands used to summon spirits originated from the rainbow saliva jade tree, their roots still came from dead and rotten green wood.

"So to say……"

He took out the bird-beak mask and looked thoughtfully at the "tree"-shaped mark engraved in the center of the round lens.

"Perhaps this tree refers to the dead and decayed green wood?"

Thinking of the knight who had captured Wator and had small trees growing on his head and shoulders, Ye Yiyi had some vague guesses in his mind.

This so-called Earth Mother Cult, is it the Towering Tree or the dead green tree that they believe in?

There are still many questions, the most important of which is, why did the knight suddenly appear here?

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and decided to give up thinking.

He was very upset that they had kidnapped Wator, and they even sent large insects to attack them, wanting to kill them!

Now that the relationship has been broken, he decided to attack the Earth Mother Cult and kill both the arrogant-looking Tree Knight and the Bishop!

Ye Yiyi never holds grudges and usually takes revenge on the same day.

It took some time to collect all the green mushrooms here. The mushroom reserves in Ye Yiyi's four-dimensional chrysanthemum had reached an unimaginable number.

In addition to the green mushrooms, Ye Yiyi also found a silvery-white mushroom while picking.

"This looks like a mushroom that fell from Bai Yu, right?"

Looking back at Bai Yu who was holding the green mushrooms and piling them together, Ye Yiyi examined the light screen of the mushrooms in his hand.

【Bai Yu's evil mushroom】

Item Description: A strange fungus born from the heart of the tree.

One of the fruiting mushrooms with strange effects.

A special mushroom peeled off from the body of the unknown hero, Shiraha Shinwo IX Zero Warm Bar_| Qi? Dissipated.

One of the materials used to craft props.

Taking it directly can improve toughness.

During the duration of the effect,

Significantly increases the damage caused by combat skills.

It is said that the evil fungus gathers vitality with immortality.

And thereby inherit the power of the parasite.

But as the price of inheritance, immortality will be consumed.

Therefore, it has become an effective measure for planters to limit the development of fungi.

"Hey, this mushroom is quite effective!"

Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up. The effect of increasing combat damage was secondary. The important thing was that this mushroom could also increase toughness!

What he lacks most now is resilience!

I'm already using super-large weapons, so I always feel like something is missing if I don't stand and fight with others.

"Michaela?"

Just as he was looking at the mushroom in his hand with shining eyes, Bai Yu's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"The mushrooms have been collected. Just come over here and... what is this?"

The female knight looked at the silver-white mushroom in his hand, her expression stunned, and looked up at Ye Yiyi.

"Is this a mushroom that fell from me?"

"Yes, this mushroom has the effect of increasing toughness and combat damage."

Ye Yiyi nodded, and then saw Bai Yu's face gradually turned red. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something but not knowing what.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Yiyi looked confused.

"...No, it's nothing."

The female knight shook her head with difficulty, but her cheeks only grew redder.

"You're playing charades with me again, aren't you?"

Ye Yiyi rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and took out a few white mushrooms and put them in Bai Yu's hand.

"This is a mushroom that fell from my body. It can increase strength, replenish vitality, and grant immortality for a period of time.

"Hold on, this is life-saving stuff. If growing mushrooms on a person wasn't so weird, I'd want to get more."

"……Um."

The female knight looked at Ye Yiyi who was talking incessantly, glanced at the white mushroom in her hand, and hummed softly.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, she lowered her head silently, her face full of shyness.

Ye Yiyi didn't notice Bai Yu's abnormality. After collecting the green mushrooms that almost piled up into a mountain, he came to the metal gate.

After a little thought, he took out the [Earth Key] he had obtained before.

As the device made a metallic "click" sound, the metal door slowly opened a gap.

"Bai Yu, let's go."

"coming."

Pulling down the lever, they called the elevator from the top. The two took the elevator all the way up and soon arrived at the highest point of the Earth Vine.

Walk out of another metal door and onto an open stone platform.

Looking up, the sky was filled with flames.

The top rock wall that almost turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the suspended temple standing in the center of the rock wall, appeared in front of Ye Yiyi.

"finally reached."

Bai Yu looked up at the tall tower, a nostalgic look in his eyes, and spoke softly.

"This is the Lingering Temple."

"But unfortunately, some people don't welcome us."

Ye Yiyi pulled out the furnace axe from behind him and silently looked at the suspended stone bridge connecting the Lingering Temple and the platform.

Two tall knights wearing metal armor, with blue-black vines wrapped around their bodies and dense small trees growing on their shoulders, were holding a small tree as tall as their height and walking slowly towards the two people.

Chapter 242 [Branches and Leaves of Eleusandan]

Seeing someone coming on the stone bridge, Bai Yu's eyes fixed, he put on his knight's helmet again, and raised his silver-white sword.

Ye Yiyi also silently pressed the switch and raised the bright red axe.

These tree knights were wrapped in wooden vines, and there was a small tree with lush branches and leaves growing on each side of their shoulder armor. They were similar to the knights who had taken Wator away before.

The only difference is that they lack a tree on their helmets.

"What a pity! It would be so much healthier to have more green on your head." Ye Yiyi grinned.

It is obvious at first glance that these knights are extremely weak to fire.

This furnace axe can be used to chop them into pieces, including their armor!

At this moment, the two tree knights also noticed the two people on the stone platform and paused.

The two knights looked at each other silently, as if communicating without words.

A moment later, one knight raised the small tree to welcome them, while the other turned and ran towards the temple.

"He wants to go back and report the news, don't let him go!" Bai Yu shouted angrily and raised his sword to meet the charging knight.

"clear."

Ye Yiyi leaped up and raised the axe in his hand high.

Combat Skill: Eagle Wing Surprise Attack!

A strong wind swept in and condensed into huge wings behind him.

He leaped forward from a high altitude, with a blazing flaming rock wall above his head, and Bai Yu was fighting with the Tree Knight below him.

"die!"

Ye Yiyi roared, and the deep red flames on his body burned more fiercely.

The BUFF effects that were previously inflicted on him have been removed, except for the effect of the Fury Potion, which remains.

The divine potion is different from other amplification effects. If the essence of divinity is not consumed, it will only remain in the body, so it lasts for a very long time, just like the hunting potion he had used before.

Ye Yiyi was very angry when talking about this. He had been acting like a fool for two minutes and put on all the BUFFs he could, just to chop the evil centipede into pieces with one sword.

But who would have thought that it was a mechanical monster, and a dominant existence on the same level as the Spread-Winged Eagle and the Mountain, which could not be killed by ordinary means.

But compared to the evil centipede, this tree knight who looks easy to bully can't be so arrogant anymore, right?

He was covered in flames, flying through the air with a furnace-charged axe held high, and the scorching axe blade chopped heavily at the back of the knight's head!

The Tree Knight seemed to be aware of it, and without even thinking, he rolled on the ground, dodging the powerful axe.

"Humph! You're quite good at hiding."

Ye Yiyi snorted coldly, flapped his wings and stopped in front of the gate at the bottom of the tower, dispersed the wind wings behind him, and stood in front of the Tree Knight.

"..."
