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

As the loud noises gradually subsided, the door was covered, and darkness and silence completely descended on the corridor in front of him.

"That was a close call... Phew, I almost couldn't get out..."

Bai Yu breathed heavily, and gently put Ye Yiyi down from his shoulders, and at the same time released his hand that was holding Angel's collar.

"Ouch!"

The winged man fell heavily to the ground, hitting his butt hard.

Despite such obvious discrimination, Angel didn't dare to complain at all. He gently stroked the bloodstains on his face that were caused by the tentacles but had healed now. He couldn't help but gasp and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

“Hiss! It hurts…”

Ye Yiyi took out her waist lamp and lit it up, illuminating the surroundings, and looked at him coldly.

"You actually feel pain!"

"…I'm sorry, sir. It's my fault…"

Angel hung his head in frustration, wiped his face with his dirty sleeve, and spoke with a choked voice.

Ye Yiyi ignored him and looked at Bai Yu.

"It's sealed."

Bai Yu stood in front of the gate blocked by rubble in the light and looked around for a moment, then shook his head at Ye Yiyi.

"I'm afraid we can't get in using conventional means, but we can blast it open."

In the game, this kind of road closure caused by terrain changes is an absolute dead end, and there is no other way except to take a detour.

But unfortunately, this is not a game, but reality, and Ye Yiyi is tired of taking detours and looking for keys.

"Then blast it open."

He nodded, looked up at the pile of rubble, and glanced at the simplified light curtain.

Soul Echo +2750

Soul Echo +1210

Soul Echo +990

Soul Echo +6050

Soul Echo +6050

……

I didn't look at it for a moment, and the simplified light screen has been flooded with a lot of prompts.

Ye Yiyi looked at the long row of numerical prompts and was suddenly stunned.

so much?

These 2750 are the soul echoes of the four-legged monsters, and there are 20 of them.

6050 are the soul echoes of the White Feather Knight, not many, just 8.

As for the others hovering around a thousand, they should be the echoes of the souls of those black-robed men, totaling nearly 30.

How is this a clue? Isn't this a list of the dead?!

Finally, he looked at the number of soul echoes he currently possessed.

Current Soul Echoes: 212402

21 million!

He took a deep breath, then his thoughts turned, and he pulled the light screen prompt upwards until an unfamiliar five-digit number appeared.

Soul Echo +21780

"21780? Why is this number so strange?"

Since those who have nothing to lose gain a 10% increase in soul echoes as a personal characteristic, this number is not the basic number of soul echoes.

He calculated in his mind and came up with the number 19800.

"This should be the soul echo given by the dragon-clad White Feather Knight, Ophisius, after his death."

He realized that when he defeated the opponent before, he had not seen the light screen prompt.

"In this case……"

He scrolled to the bottom of the page thoughtfully, but did not find another five-digit soul echo prompt.

"It seems that the dragon-clad White Feather Knight who wields a large sword is still alive." He looked at White Feather and said.

"As for the others, including the White Feather Knights, they are almost all dead now. That giant flying dragon is definitely not in the same group with them."

"Is that so, huh..."

Bai Yu always believed in Ye Yiyi's words. Hearing this, he let out a long sigh and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

"But that flying dragon...something's wrong!"

Then she frowned again, her expression extremely puzzled.

"I've never seen a flying dragon that big. Although individual differences lead to different sizes, a size of over a hundred meters is too outrageous! It's no different from humans giving birth to a giant over ten meters tall!"

"Could it be because of the magic?"

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "Before we came here, we saw a living flying dragon rushing into the underground along the tunnel. Could it be that it transformed?"

"That's impossible." Bai Yu shook his head. "Since the flying dragon has been deprived of its intelligence, it no longer has the ability to cast spells, even if it has a catalyst. After all, wild beasts can't use catalysts."

"What on earth is going on?" Ye Yiyi frowned and fell into deep thought.

The flying dragon was over a hundred meters long. When the huge monster melted the rock wall and rushed out from behind the wall, Ye Yiyi was completely stunned.

Although he had seen the true form of the King Dragon through magic, it was too far away and not real. Although it was also shocking, it was not as shocking as the scene of the giant flying dragon appearing before his eyes.

But since it is not the effect of magic, then what could it be?

There is no dragon this big in the game.

"Well...well, I might know..."

Just as the two were lost in thought, Angel, who dared not breathe, suddenly raised his hand tremblingly.

"You know?" Ye Yiyi was stunned.

"Uh... not really. Actually, I heard it talking just now..."

"Talking? Why didn't I hear it?" Bai Yu looked Angel up and down, and his tone suddenly became weird.

"You actually know the language of flying dragons?"

"The speaking he refers to is not the speaking you understand, Bai Yu."

Ye Yiyi waved his hand thoughtfully, motioning Angel to continue.

"What did it say?"

"It seemed to say..." Angel thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I'm so hungry. I want to eat. I want to evolve. I want to enter the Dragon Hall. I want to eat all the intelligent metal inside... or something like that."

"Smart metal?" Ye Yiyi's pupils shrank.

"What is that? Do you know?" Bai Yu asked hurriedly when he saw this.

"I can't really say I know..." He rubbed his chin and thought, "I just heard some things about it from the old blacksmith..."

The King's Craftsman Experience that he had obtained in the King's Craftsman Workshop was made of wisdom metal.

It is a kind of intelligent metal with false spirituality and calculation ability, which is made by combining the magic of many kings by changing the form and properties of matter and giving it functions.

These are the original words of the old blacksmith.

If there really is a large amount of wisdom metal in the Dragon Hall, it would undoubtedly be a very valuable discovery.

Although he didn't know what the metal was used for, if the old blacksmith were here, he would definitely ask him to go underground to look for it.

But then again...

Since Angel heard the sound, doesn't that mean that the flying dragon is actually a large machine?

"Can it evolve by eating intelligent metal? Could it be that thing, like the clever divine machine, is an inorganic life form?"

He pondered for a moment, gave Bai Yu a look, indicating that they would talk about this matter later, and then looked at Angel who was a little hesitant.

"We'll talk about this later. First, let's talk about the stupid thing you did."

Angel's expression suddenly became depressed. He lowered his head and muttered softly, "Sorry, I shouldn't have run out without permission..."

Ye Yiyi squinted her eyes and looked him up and down, making his feathers stand on end and goose bumps appear all over his body.

He suddenly asked, "Did you go out alone before, or did you go out with the possessed puppet?"

"Alone... I was in such a hurry that I didn't think..."

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Bai Yu snorted coldly, which frightened Angel so much that his body trembled and his wings behind him were tightened.

It was a battle that could have been won easily had it been planned, but because this guy ran around he was captured alive by the enemy, which put him in a disadvantageous position and even led to failure. If he were in the Royal Guards, he would have been killed by his own people long ago!

The female knight was afraid that she would not be able to control her anger and would kill this guy, so she simply waved her hand, turned and walked aside, looking around.

Ye Yiyi glanced at Bai Yu, then looked at Angel who lowered his head and wiped his tears, and continued to ask.

"Have you found your people?"

"I found it, but before I could even open the door, the knight who had rushed back discovered me..."

"Didn't open the door in time?"

Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows, took out a keychain from behind, and waved it in front of Yiren.

"Did the door tell you that you needed this to open it?"

"..."

Angel was dejected and shed tears silently.

"Sorry……"

"If sorry were useful, would there still be so much conflict in this world?"

Ye Yiyi shook her head and put the key away.

"Go rescue your people first. I'm a man of my word. Since I promised to help you rescue your people, I will never break my promise."

Seeing Angel's delighted expression, he raised an eyebrow and continued.

"Don't be too happy yet. Fulfilling my promise is my own responsibility, but that doesn't mean I'm too kind and work for nothing."

"Including the book you gave me, you can calculate for yourself what kind of compensation I deserve for my efforts."

Ye Yiyi said calmly, then raised his chin to the side.

"Lead the way."

Yi Ren led the way in front with a dazed look on his face, thinking about Ye Yiyi's efforts along the way.

First, he saved his life from the dragon-transformer, then he lured away the corpse dragon, was pinned to the ceiling and shot, and then he saved his life again from the winged dragon-transformer.

Afterwards, he went underground along the tunnel and led him out of the siege of many flying dragons. He then saved himself from the knight, but was knocked away by the dragon's claws.

Until just now, he saved himself from the rubble he had fallen into...

Angel's expression suddenly became blank.

Without realizing it, he actually owed Ye Yiyi so much?

How can this be returned as a book?

He stopped in a trance and looked up at the closed metal door beside him.

"It stinks! Can these bird people please stop shitting in the room?"

The sound of the door opening rang in his mind. He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Ye Yiyi walk up, pick up the key chain and try them one by one, finally finding the right key and opening the door.

"Woooo..."

There was darkness behind the door, followed by rustling sounds, mixed with faint crying.

"Here it is, I found it."
