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

"Let's talk about it later." Alice declined calmly, then lowered her eyes to glance at Ye Yiyi.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Ye Yiyi also nodded.

He naturally knew why Alice did this. It was just that there was something that was inconvenient to talk about in front of outsiders.

"So you don't actually know what's deep within the ruins, right?" he asked.

"……Yes."

Su Ke was extremely anxious because he didn't get an answer, but he could do nothing about it.

He didn't dare to provoke this tough guy who had once pressed someone's forehead and choked him to death in a cesspool.

"What about this scale?" After going around in circles, he talked about what Ye Yiyi had in his hand.

"It's just the remains of that flying dragon."

Ye Yiyi explained casually and looked at the dim road of fire in front of him.

"For now, let's just follow this trail."

"...Uh, alright."

Su Ke sensed something was wrong. Ye Yiyi was obviously hiding something from him.

But the same principle still applies. He didn't dare to ask, and if the other party insisted on hiding it, he would be helpless.

The knowledge about flying dragons was right in front of him, but he couldn't touch it. This feeling made Su Ke inexplicably uncomfortable.

Ye Yiyi glanced at the metal mouse on his shoulder that seemed to have ADHD and was scratching its ears and cheeks, and walked forward along the dark red road without caring.

He had anticipated this scene, so he wisely refused Su Ke's request to come in person.

With the example of Angel, he couldn't bring another guy who was very likely to get in the way at a critical moment.

"I can't guarantee that this guy will see something new and strange and become unable to walk and disappear. I have to buy insurance first."

He thought about it, raised the tentacles behind him slightly, and activated the magic he had just obtained, Color Drawing.

In Ye Yiyi's field of vision, a hint of light yellow suddenly appeared on the metal mouse.

The color transformed into a faint beam of light that extended from the mouse into the air, forming a mouse-shaped seal at the top.

He tried closing his eyes and found that there was a pale yellow outline of a mouse in his perception. It seemed that he didn't need to aim deliberately. As long as he thought about it, the magic he cast would automatically lock onto the opponent.

"Is this the effect of locking? Why is it a bit like a perspective lock?"

Then he suddenly felt the mouse leave his shoulder and fly to the side.

"Can this mouse jump so far?"

Confused, he opened his eyes and saw that Alice had picked up the mouse and thrown it to Angel.

Looking at the confused looks of the winged man and the mouse, Alice said casually.

"I have something to say, please step aside for a moment."

"Oh……"

So the two of them fell behind a little, and Bai Yu walked with the man and the rat to prevent the two fragile ones from being killed instantly by the monsters that suddenly jumped out of the darkness.

"Let's exchange information."

Alice played with Ye Yiyi's tentacles in her hands.

"What's up with the scales?"

"This is the evolutionary residue shed from the Evolution Dragon..."

Ye Yiyi explained to Alice all the information he had obtained along the way.

"Yanjin... I've heard of this name."

The girl frowned slightly after hearing this. "That was a long-running research project that involved several kings. However, it was later confirmed that the research was on the wrong track, so it was abandoned."

"What are you researching?" Ye Yiyi asked curiously.

"On the evolution of species."

Alice thought for a moment and replied, "You should know that after His Majesty the Heavenly Creator invented a teleportation array capable of spanning the starry sky, an unprecedented great development began."

"Of course I know that." Ye Yiyi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This is at least the basic setting, and you can access it even if you don’t play the game.

"Well, but at first, this great development was seen as an impractical and futile act. Do you know why?"

"Huh? Why?" He really didn't know this setting.

"Because not all planets are habitable."

Alice shook her head, her eyes slightly deep.

"Over the years, explorers have visited countless foreign planets. Yet, until the war began, only four were discovered that harbored life, were suitable for landing, and were even habitable. Don't you think that's too few?"

"It's a matter of probability."

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and replied:

"Life itself is a miracle in the universe, and with so many stars in the sky, I'm actually quite surprised to have discovered only four."

"You're right, but for the border region at that time, tens of thousands of foreign planets with environments so harsh that even landing on them wouldn't last long was a waste of precious resources."

"You mean..." Ye Yiyi seemed to understand something.

"Yes, this is the Evolution Plan. It aims to enable the people of the land nations to evolve as a race to the point where they can survive and reproduce in any extreme environment."

Thinking of the item description of evolutionary fragments, Ye Yiyi suddenly widened his eyes.

"In that case, then the Dragon of Evolution..."

"...a dragon undergoing metamorphosis." Alice's expression was serious. "Perhaps it's the poisonous dragon you saw earlier."

"So it's true..." Ye Yiyi's eyes were blank.

"But," he realized, "wasn't this plan considered to be on the wrong track? How did it succeed?"

"This is also what confuses me..." Alice frowned.

"After all, biological evolution is a long process, a manifestation of the natural law of natural selection.

"The error in the plan was initially to use certain organisms as templates, such as those that can remain active for a long time in various extreme environments and will not die."

"The Immortal Tree?!" Ye Yiyi suddenly thought of this.

Isn’t this the immortality possessed by the Immortal Tree?

"I thought of that, too."

Alice nodded, then shook her head.

"But I only have a general idea of ​​this plan, not a deep understanding. I'm also not sure if the kings have used the Undying Tree as a template for any experiments...

"But among the kings who participated in the Evolution Plan, there were the Lord of Life and Death, the Chaos Impermanent, and the Dragon King."

Alice said with a serious expression.

"You know what this means, right? We must find that dragon-suited White Feather Knight as soon as possible and kill him! We must never let the Curse Master know of the existence of the Dragon of Evolution!"

"I understand." Ye Yiyi frowned.

If the Curse Masters with Tangled Dragon Horns knew about the successful evolution of the Evolution Dragon, those crazy lunatics might use it to restart the Evolution Plan.

Regardless of whether they can succeed, the prerequisite for restarting the plan is to have a large number of experimental subjects and materials.

Where did the experimental subjects come from?

They are everywhere on the bordering land.

What about experimental materials or template objects?

There are even more, foreign gods, cursed creatures, inorganic life, nightmare lords, children of hell, immortal trees, stars, ancient dragons, goblins...

If various unique powers are mixed and stitched together, what kind of patchwork monster will eventually evolve? Ye Yiyi is curious just thinking about it, let alone those crazy people who dare to think and do it?

"The White Feather Knight in the Dragon Suit must be killed! He must not be allowed to leave here alive!"

Quickening our pace along the crimson lava road, we soon passed through the cave and came to a high wall that had been melted into a cave by the high temperature.

“There’s only this path… The Dragon of Evolution must have sensed something, so it took a straight line, swallowed the golden triangular pyramid, and then returned the same way.

"And that dragon-clad White Feather Knight, he also walked here..."

Ye Yiyi injected a dose of "Hunting Mixture" and looked at the melted crimson wall, a white line symbolizing the Evolution Dragon and a blue line symbolizing the White Feather Knight, and then came to a conclusion.

Moving down the passage, Angel soon became exhausted and was tied up by Ye Yiyi's tentacles and carried behind him.

Even Su Ke noticed the depressing atmosphere and remained silent throughout the journey.

Soon, a faint light appeared at the end of the dark cave that tilted downward, and at the same time, a whistling wind blew towards them.

"This wind direction... is the lower entrance and exit!" Su Ke quickly came to the conclusion based on the wind direction.

"That's not good news."

Ye Yiyi had a grim expression on his face. He stood at the edge of the passage and glanced down.

Star-like blue lights appeared faintly in the deep pit.

"Another Corpse Dragon..."

He looked at Angel, who suddenly curled up into a ball with a look of fear on his face, and heard a melodious dragon roar coming from below.

"Roar~~"

Chapter 317 [Stagnant Prophecy: Wandering in the Empty Seat]

"Roar~~"

Along with the faint sound of a low dragon roar, the many flying dragon corpses scattered on the walls of the deep pit raised their heads at the same time, and a deep blue light lit up in the masks that had turned into cannon barrels.

Ye Yiyi's eyes fixed and she subconsciously retracted her head.

Isn't this reaction too quick?

He couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable.

He just stuck his head out and glanced down, but he didn't take out his loudspeaker and shout to everyone to look at me... How did they know I was here?

"Wait a minute, that doesn't seem to be directed at us..."

Ye Yiyi suddenly realized that the low and faint dragon roar did not disappear, but gradually became clearer from far to near, accompanied by the whistling wind and faint roar.

"This noise sounds like a fight." Bai Yu frowned and muttered to himself.

"But who and who?"

Ye Yiyi muttered and looked again, but he didn't see the owner of the dragon's roar. Instead, he was dazzled by the blue trails drawn by countless fireballs in the sky.

"Mortar Dragon Flame...but this number..."

Alice couldn't help but feel a little surprised and confused as she watched a large number of blue fireballs falling from the sky in parabolic trajectories and plummeting into the depths of the pit.

"So many dragons? Using the same attack method? Is this a legion? How could the beasts have such discipline?"

"That's not a living flying dragon." Ye Yiyi shook his head, "It's a corpse flying dragon transformed from a dragon corpse."

"Corpse Dragon..."

Su Ke's tone was dull, his rat eyes widened with disbelief.

"Can corpses... also use the dragon breath device?"

"The corpse has come back to life, and you are still worried about whether you can breathe dragon breath?" Ye Yiyi complained.

"Sir...sir."

Angel's face turned pale. This scene reminded him of the time when he was being chased by flying dragons. He was a little scared, but he couldn't help but speak.

"I... I heard that sound again..."

Except for Ye Yiyi and Bai Yu who knew Angel's peculiarity, the other man and the rat all looked at Angel strangely.

Sound? What sound? I didn't hear it.

"Oh?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Yi Ren.
