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

“Because they can understand the other person’s experiences and emotions, some fairies promote it as a bonding ceremony.

"You know, the Lingering Temple needs maintenance too. If we don't come up with some revenue-generating methods, where will the money come from to maintain the buildings and pay the goblins?"

"As for the teleportation effect, that was just a method we used to travel long distances before the teleportation array was invented by the Heavenly Creator.

“However, after the invention of the teleportation array, this backward and inconvenient method was eliminated.

"If Hero-sama wants to pursue Bai Yu, I still suggest starting with his personal interests rather than relying on unreliable rumors like this, hehe~"

Except for the last sentence, Ye Yiyi repeated Nivea's original words to Bai Yu.

The female knight looked stunned, and ended up in a state of neither laughter nor tears.

"I always thought the bonding ceremony was real!"

"Unfortunately, Alice thinks it's true too. Oh, and so does the bearded man."

Ye Yiyi said helplessly with a drooping face, wondering if Alice hadn't taken that thing seriously, how could she have made up her mind to attack him?

Rumors really harm people!

After resolving Bai Yu's misunderstanding, the female knight finally stopped worrying and went to the Fairy Chapel with him.

The so-called Fairy Chapel is built above the hall where the incarnation of the earth vein is located.

"Is this the chapel?"

Looking at the small stone building built on the winding vines, which was not even as tall as him, Ye Yiyi was confused.

"Isn't this too small?"

"The chapel is where the goblins work. The so-called registration is just a formality. There is no need to enter the chapel."

Bai Yu squatted down and looked into the chapel.

"It seems there are no goblins here..."

"Is he sleeping?"

Just as Ye Yiyi was about to take out his staff and cast the [Summon Fairy] spell, he saw a light suddenly appear on the pink ring between his left fingers.

"Is this... Nivea's blessing?" He was slightly surprised.

The Fairy Chapel in front of them also lit up.

"Ding ding ding ding! Lady Nivea is here!"

In a dazzling pink light, a pink-haired little elf, flapping its wings and continuously dropping colorful spots of light, suddenly emerged from the winding vines.

"My dear hero, and the White Feather Knight, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, haha~"

The little goblin flew around the two of them with a smile, then skillfully landed on the priest's crown on Ye Yiyi's head and said with a confused expression.

"Hero, your outfit is so strange. The long trench coat and the metal crown don't go together at all. Or is this a new fashion?"

"No, when you are strong enough and have your own set of aesthetic standards, you will dress like me... Anyway, why did you suddenly come out?"

Ye Yiyi struggled to change the subject, not daring to say that he made this combination for the three-point faith bonus from the priest's crown.

When a piece of armor doesn't match your outfit, but its attributes are really strong.jpg

"really?"

Nivea flapped her wings and seemed a little confused, but she soon stopped worrying and got down to business.

"I've already heard from Alice about the Cursed Death Tower. With the Hero and the Fairy Chapel as a guide, Nivea can easily get here from the Cursed Temple through the earth veins.

"Anyway, once the transmission is complete and the hero arrives here, let Nivea preside over the sacrificial ceremony!"

"Thank you for your help, Nivea." Bai Yu stood up straight and saluted as a knight.

“This is Nivea’s responsibility~”

The little goblin flew down from Ye Yiyi's head and flew towards the way the two came.

"Come with Nivea first. Nivea needs to check the ground vein situation~"

Following the little goblin back to the room where the earth vein incarnation was before, Nivea circled around the spiral vine vein, and then, in Ye Yiyi's surprised eyes, she dived into the vine vein.

“I found the problem!”

Not long after, the little goblin came out from the vine with an emerald green crystal, and fell into Ye Yiyi's hands from the air, spinning.

The little goblin put down the crystal, put his hands on his hips and raised his head.

"Oh my! Nivea is amazing! It solved the problem right away!"

"This is... the Z. Lingmeng Immortal Seed?"

Ye Yiyi ignored the little elf who was trying to take credit and focused his attention on the diamond-shaped emerald green crystal.

[The Immortal Seed of the Sui Nie Life Tree]

Item Description: The heart of a tree condensed from a tree.

Can be found in immortal trees,

It is an extremely rare item.

One of the materials used to make props,

It can also be used to make staffs or accessories with special effects.

Or plant it anew and water it with life,

It can bring the immortal tree back to life.

The seeds of an alien tree from a distant, foreign planet,

Through the research and cultivation of planters,

Thus, a mushroom with great nutritional value is obtained.

In the war that lasted for many years,

That therefore became the source of life for the refugees.

"So that's it!"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi finally understood.

Now he finally knew the true origin of the evil mushroom.

The Lingering Temple was a refuge that neither side would attack during the war, but the people who lived there to escape the war did not have enough food.

So one of the gardeners studied the seeds of immortality and created a mushroom that could be used as food.

"Where did you find this immortal seed?"

He looked at Nivea curiously. "How did this thing end up inside the Lingering Vine? Is this related to the abnormality of the earth veins?"

Nivea thought for a moment and replied, "That's a method of cultivating a certain type of fungus by harnessing the vitality of the earth's veins. It must have been created by a gardener.

"But the gardener forgot to remove it from the earth veins. And for some reason, this immortal seed entered a state of vicious reproduction. It absorbs vitality, and the fungus it cultivates is spreading uncontrollably."

"Malignant reproduction?"

Ye Yiyi thought about it for a moment and thought that this was the reason why no matter how many times Wator and the others cleaned up, the undead cores would reappear.

The reason why the evil fungus reproduces malignantly is most likely the work of the Forest Oak People!

Nivea continued, "Plus, there are some problems with the leyline itself, so the leyline incarnation has never appeared to intervene in the situation here."

"So this isn't the fundamental reason for the abnormalities in the earth veins?" Bai Yu was suddenly stunned.

"Yes, Nivea couldn't figure out why either."

The little goblin couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and finally raised his head and smiled at Ye Yiyi.

"So I'll have to trouble you, Hero-sama, to visit the Lingering Temples in the surrounding areas. Nivea will come and assist you in your investigation."

"I understand. It's just another long-term task, right?" Ye Yiyi sighed slightly.

"By the way, this is a gift that the Incarnation of the Earth asked me to give to you two to investigate."

The little goblin flapped its wings and scattered colorful spots of light in the sky, and then two round bottles appeared out of thin air in the hands of Ye Yiyi and Bai Yu.

"Rainbow Mist Bottle?!"

Can I get the bottle without fighting the BOSS?

Ye Yiyi looked at the bottle in his hand and was delighted when he saw the light curtain pop up.

【Rainbow Mist Bottle】

Chapter 248 Return to the Earth Mother Church

【Rainbow Mist Bottle】

Item Description: An item left behind by the Vein Root Dragon, the incarnation of the lingering earth veins.

The formation of injection crystallization takes a long time.

The hidden power can be drawn out through this object.

Adding different powders or items to mix will produce various special effects.

Resting at the Holy Monument can replenish the Infusion Crystals.

The root dragon wanders underground, selflessly giving the power nurtured by its veins to all things.

Thus, the grand epic of countless lives began.

"Finally got it, the first Rainbow Mist Bottle."

Ye Yiyi lifted up the heavy and exquisite long bottle with emotion and looked inside through the colorless translucent bottle body.

There are thin dust crystals floating in it, and the seven-color rainbow keeps changing on it, just like the gorgeous rainbow that appears in the sky after the rain.

"Thank you."

Bai Yu held the bottle in his hand and solemnly expressed his gratitude to Nivea.

"No need to thank me. This gift was left for you by the Incarnation of the Earth. It's very grateful to you for destroying that giant bug from the alien planet."

Nivea flapped its wings and landed on Ye Yiyi's forehead.

"What about the earth vein incarnation?" Ye Yiyi put away the bottle and asked, "Won't it come out?"

"It's still wandering in the earth veins. Check to see what the problem is. At least it won't come out until the problem is solved." Nivea replied.

"Okay." Ye Yiyi nodded.

It seems that the earth vein incarnation in the game was scared by his beating, and this time it will not give him a chance to beat him again.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as I get the Rainbow Mist Bottle.

"Next, please stand in front of the leyline, hero, and place your hand on it." The goblin flew around him and said with a smile.

"Nivea is getting ready to teleport."

"it is good."

Ye Yiyi followed Nivea's instructions, stood in front of the spiral leyline, and placed her palm on it.

"The Lingering Express, having been relaunched after over ten thousand years, is about to begin its journey. Please keep an eye on your luggage and carry-on belongings to avoid loss during the journey.

"A friendly reminder from the goblin: Passengers with eyes please close them, and passengers with mouths please keep their mouths shut. This express is not responsible for any aging, death, amnesia, or disappearance during the transmission!"

"???"

When Ye Yiyi heard this, she was stunned.

Amnesia is fine, but how can there be disappearance or death?

Is teleportation through the earth veins really such a dangerous thing?

"Passenger, please do not ignore the advice of the Nivea flight attendant!"

Nivea floated in front of him and said seriously, pinching his eyelids and covering them like closing a car window.

"If you pile up all the idiots who died on the Lingering Express, they'd be as high as a mountain!"

"With such a high casualty rate, why would anyone still use...?"

Bai Yu, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded.
