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

Since the names are similar, they should be different manifestations of the same kind of divine pollution.

"A god who kills his master with weapons doesn't sound like a good god to deal with."

"That's true. The divine pollution caused by this deity still exists and is difficult to deal with."

"Compared to him, I think a god hiding in the dark and instructing his believers to do trouble is more difficult to deal with." Ye Yiyi said with a hint of meaning.

Fan Weiluo's eyes moved slightly, and his expression seemed thoughtful.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he knew that if he asked now, he would have to keep the question to himself.

After bypassing the divine body that blocked the way, the leading hunter led them to a hole in the floor that had collapsed due to falling rocks.

Instead, the divine body descended from the sky, smashing the side hall floor that had become fragile due to the influence of the exquisite sparks, revealing an underground space.

Fan Willow bent down, touched the marble floor that had melted into magma and then solidified, and looked into the hole.

"This is……"

Even though the old hunter was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing that scene.

With the sunlight shining directly from overhead, you can see that there is a room of medium size underneath the hole.

Among them, there are several strange tall mushrooms of different colors standing, and on the mushrooms, there are countless small green centipedes climbing and wriggling.

"Sir Michaela." Fan Weiluo looked solemn and turned his head to look aside.

"I saw."

Ye Yiyi, who was squatting beside the hole, looked into the depths of the hole with a frown on his face.

"Is this... an immortal insect?" Bai Yu also leaned over to take a look, and suddenly felt that the shape of the centipede was very similar to the evil-born centipede he saw in the underground ruins.

"Sir Baiyu, do you know what that is?" the old hunter asked.

"Bai Yu and I went to the underground ruins before. You should know this, right?" Ye Yiyi answered on behalf of Bai Yu.

"Of course, ever since the Earth Mother Cult, through the Knight Bureau, announced to the City Hall two years ago that they were seeking a bounty hunter team, we've been paying attention to this matter."

Fan Weiluo looked a little depressed.

“After all, the Holy Day of Worship is a very important festival, attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists every year. As the representative religion of Cui Lengbai, the Earth Mother Goddess Cult has many followers across the country.

"If something goes wrong at a religious holy site, the impact will be enormous.

"For this purpose, we specially dispatched a team of elite hunters from outside to accompany the bounty hunter into the underground ruins. However, since we didn't find any traces of divine contamination, the investigation ultimately ended in vain."

"But the underground ruins here are very dangerous." Ye Yiyi asked, "Even so, you can't interfere?"

"No." Fan Willow shook his head, "The Hunting God Church cannot participate in any actions unrelated to the gods. This is the bottom line.

"But we have provided assistance to the Earth Mother Cult in other ways, such as masks for protection against fungi and the hymn hymns of the Blazing Cult. We have provided assistance to these people."

"Is that so?" Ye Yiyi nodded. No wonder the Church of the Hunting God was mentioned on those bird-beak masks. It turned out that they were indeed the ones who provided them.

As for the divinity, they could not detect it unless they entered the lingering temple at the top of the rock wall.

But the underground ruins are extremely dangerous, not to mention there is a centipede.

Those elite hunters have no way to go to that temple.

Thinking of this, he became confused again.

Because the road from the underground Yinghui Temple to the upper level was blocked by the Yinghui vines, logically speaking, even they could not directly reach the Tongtian Tree on the surface.

How did the tree knight go down without anyone noticing?

Did he sneak in when they weren't paying attention, or is there a secret path that hasn't been discovered yet?

Burying his doubts in his heart for the time being, Ye Yiyi concealed the things that happened in the lingering temple, and told Fan Willow the cause of the disaster in the underground ruins, the undead insects, the tree knights, the Lord of the dense forest, and his own conclusions.

For this purpose, the old hunter called a clerk and recorded everything Ye Yiyi said in detail.

After learning the truth about the Lord of the Secret Forest, Fan Willow was completely stunned, and the cat-man clerk could not even hold the pen steadily. He was reminded by his companions several times before he came to his senses.

"It's hard to imagine that those tree people are actually descendants of gods!" Fan Weilo looked solemn, pacing back and forth beside the cave with his cane.

"And the God of Gods has resurrected! This is a serious problem! We must report it to the church headquarters immediately!"

The old hunter called over a hunter wearing a black bird feather robe and a strange mask that covered his cheeks. After showing him the clerk's records for a moment, he saw the hunter nod silently, turn around and leave, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"I'm familiar with that image." Ye Yiyi huddled aside and whispered quietly to Bai Yu.

"Those are the hunters of the Church of the Hunting God. Other hunters hunt gods, but they hunt the hunters of the wild beasts.

"Look, the other hunters' faces looked so good when they saw it."

"Why hunt hunters?" Bai Yu glanced around and found that the facts were indeed as he said, so he lowered his head curiously and asked softly in his ear.

"To be precise, he is a traitor among the hunters."

"So that's how it is." Bai Yu immediately understood and couldn't help asking, "But how did you know that?"

Of course I fought with them in the game, Ye Yiyi thought.

However, Fan Weiluo had already finished dealing with the intelligence and was walking towards them, so Bai Yu had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.

"As expected of the legendary Mikaela, this kind of strength and intelligence-gathering skills truly put our Hunting God Church to shame."

The old hunter came up and started praising him. Although his words were exaggerated, they were sincere.

They had been guarding such important information for three years without realizing it. If Ye Yiyi hadn't happened to pass by and revealed the true face of the Earth Mother Cult, who knows how long the Hunting God Cult would have been kept secret.

For them, hunters, this is simply a shame.

"The underground ruins are already a disaster area for the remaining curse. As for the issue of the gods, it is only dealt with incidentally."

Ye Yiyi was not modest at all and answered frankly.

As they talked, they returned to the cave and took a black mushroom from a hunter.

This was after a hunter learned the uses of mushrooms and volunteered to pick them.

【Ke Liya'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 transformed by the Forest Oak Knight Coria.

One of the materials used to make props.

If taken directly, it can slightly increase strength.

During the duration of the effect, it can slightly increase the user's resistance to divine pollution.

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.

"The Oak Tree Knight, Coria, transformed into a mushroom. No wonder the Tree Knights didn't go down and pick it themselves. They're not immune to the parasitic effects of the evil fungus..."

Ye Yiyi looked at the colorful mushrooms with a slightly complicated expression, and then picked up other mushrooms to check.

The other evil-spawned mushrooms are similar, some are human, some are cat-people, and their effects are useless, not at all as good as the mushrooms of the Forest Oak People.

After putting away the valuable mushroom, he looked towards the deep pit and asked.

"How do you plan to deal with these immortal insects?"

"If it weren't for you, Sir Michaela, we would have no choice but to resort to violence or simple means..." Fan Willow shook his head.

"I understand violence, but what are simple means?"

"Throw it into a big, deep pit."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiyi's face darkened.

So you guys deal with problems that you can't handle in such a simple and crude way, right?

The devil at the bottom of the deep pit is about to curse. This damn neighbor not only dumps nuclear wastewater at my house every day, but also throws kitchen waste at me, right?

Sooner or later I will come up and destroy all of you.

"But since the problem lies with the so-called immortality, we will find a solution as soon as possible.

"In that case, it's up to you guys to decide. But those mushrooms should still be of some use, so it's best not to throw them all away."

"Understood. We will process and send your portion to you. In addition, there will be a thank-you gift from the Hunting God Church. Please look forward to it."

"I have one too?" Bai Yu pointed at himself, a little surprised.

"Of course both of you have them." Fan Weiluo smiled. "Also, if you, Lord Baiyu, wish, we are also willing to assist you with identification cards for hunters."

The certificate of assisting hunters is a good thing to make money. Bai Yu had heard Ye Yiyi mention it before, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it.

"Thank you. I'll trouble you then, sir."

"No way, it's us, the Hunting God Church, who should thank you two!"

Fan Willow took off his hat and bowed to the two men.

At the same time, all the hunters present stopped their work and bowed to the two.

Bai Yu looked at this scene and suddenly felt warm in his heart.

This is also the reason why Ye Yiyi likes to deal with hunters.

They left the church for the time being and left the follow-up to the hunters. They rested in the room provided by the Church of the Hunting God until night, and then set out again for the Lingering Temple.

Nivea has gathered the materials needed for the sacrifice and is now ready to perform the ritual to appease the Lingering Vine.

In front of the Fairy Chapel, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but stare with wide eyes as he watched a large group of fairies line up in a row, shouting and yelling as they worked together to move a strange-looking object.

"Are you serious? This thing can be used as a sacrifice?!"

Chapter 258 [Pure Resonance Hymn]

"This thing... can also be used as a sacrifice?"

Seeing the items that the little goblins had carried together, Ye Yiyi had a blank expression and his eyes were wide open.

It’s no wonder that he reacted so strongly, it was because the things the goblins brought were too outrageous.

It was contained in a wooden barrel as tall as Ye Yiyi, a whole barrel of sticky yellow-brown unknown liquid.

In other words, shit.

This shocked Ye Yiyi.

Isn't this a sacrificial ritual to appease the lingering vine veins?

Why is feces used in sacrificial rituals?

And such a large amount?

So the lingering vine veins are a spirit from the cesspool?

Obviously, the wooden barrel carried by the little goblin was still a long way from him, but Ye Yiyi had already rolled his eyes several times.

The overwhelming stench dealt an unimaginable and devastating blow to his spirit and sanity.

Even though Ye Yiyi had a lot of experience playing with shit, he couldn't stand the foul smell.

He couldn't help but step back and looked around helplessly, trying to find Bai Yu.

Then he found that the female knight was standing not far away. She was wearing a bird-beak mask on her face and was looking down at another offering brought by the goblins.

Some off-white powder crystals in a clear glass bottle.

Goodness! You actually put on the mask already! Did you know what the sacrifice was from the beginning?!

Why didn't you remind me?!

"Be careful, don't spill it!"

Nivea directed the goblins to put down the wobbly wooden barrel. Seeing that the filth in the barrel did not splash out of the barrel, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Great job everyone! I didn't expect that after all these years, your work hasn't deteriorated!"
