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

Chapter 322: Dejected Brother and the War Front

[The blessing of those who look up to the sky]

Item Description: The soul of Yukuza returns to the Mother Box of All Things.

A blessing crystal that grants the curse-remover.

Used at the Holy Monument, it increases the number of uses of the Cursed Bottle.

Dark golden blessing crystal,

It contains a reminder from the skilled servant Yu Kongzuo:

Outside the Dragon Palace, there are a lot of cursed creatures.

Among them are some who are strong in martial arts and have strange abilities.

Please pay attention, hero.

If you are unable to handle the gold that has been introduced, you can go northeast.

Find the King's Workshop at the Winter Gate Dragon Battlefield.

"This guy……"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi shook his head helplessly.

The item descriptions of Blessing Crystals have always been messages left by others, such as Eagle Wing Knight and Sanzo.

But Yu Sora is different. The two of them just talked about it, and these things can be dealt with in just a few sentences. Isn't it okay to just mention it casually?

“It’s like a will… He’s afraid I’ll forget.

"And why didn't Yu Soraza mention Angel, who could communicate with him?"

He frowned slightly, a little confused.

Then he shook his head and turned to think about Yu Sora's message.

"The outer part of the Dragon Palace... should it be the outer part of the Yanjin Hall? A large number of cursed creatures? They must be the byproducts of the Curse Master infecting Yukuza."

He couldn't help but laugh at the thought, "But unfortunately, even if they succeeded in infecting Yukuza, they couldn't get the 'key' to the Enjin Hall from it."

"As for the Yanjin gold... this should be the item kept in the Yanjin Hall and cannot be handled? The Dongdongmenlong battlefield in the northeast direction?" Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This is similar to his subsequent route.

After finishing the business in the Dragon Palace, he still had a few places to visit on the border of the Fire Sparrow Flower Kingdom.

One is to go to the deep depression in the north and look for the cursed and the witch.

However, judging from the fact that the curse-controllers are now everywhere in the southern border areas, it is possible that the areas there have also been harassed by them, and even that the cursed people were created by them.

After solving the problem in the Deep Depression, he will go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Stone Crystals to get some gems.

Then go explore the Twin Magician Towers marked on the map.

Then he could get up and head to the Winter Gate Dragon Battlefield.

The Dragon Battlefield and his original destination were both located in the northeast, so he could also find a psychic who could strengthen the incarnation medium along the way.

"But this dragon battlefield..." He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"The only thing I know about the game is the Summer Gate Dragon Battlefield, where an ancient dragon born from 'Summer' lurks...

"And this Winter Gate, could it be referring to the ancient dragon of 'Winter'?

As for whether it is true or not, we will know when we go and see.

"The schedule is so tight..."

He sighed slightly, took out the curse bottle again, and placed the blessed water drops into the bottle.

In this way, the recovery amount of the Cursed Bottle is increased to 9.

The +1 Curse Bottle only restores less than 200 health per sip. With his mana bar close to 400, he needs exactly two sips to fill it up.

It’s just that Ye Yiyi has too many ways to restore mana. Normally, the automatic mana restoration with magic and shield is enough to push the map.

And even if he is a boss, no one can withstand his spell bombardment of 5 and a half mana bars.

He looked at the clear and full water drops in the bottle, then put it behind him.

"Yukuza has returned, let's go back to the Cursed Hall." He looked at the saint waiting on the side.

The Saint nodded, only glancing off into the distance thoughtfully.

"Hero, your companions..."

"Oh yes, I'll tell them a few words."

Ye Yiyi looked back at the trembling Angel and Suke and waved to them.

"grown ups……"

"Master Oscar..."

Su Ke was sitting on Angel's shoulders, and they both walked over with their bodies trembling slightly.

Ye Yiyi seemed a little weird from the beginning. Even though Angel had seen many of his magical abilities, he was still greatly frightened when he transformed from a human into an inorganic life form.

As for Suke, there is no need to say more.

He was just an ordinary flying dragon researcher, and had never seen such a scene before. His three views were shaky and he was not far from complete collapse.

But Ye Yiyi did not intend to explain the reason for his appearance, he just said:

"I'm going to be gone for a while. You two wait here for me. Don't run around."

"Leaving... because of those two?"

Su Ke didn't dare to speak at all, so he had to ask weakly on Angel's behalf.

Just after they came out of the stone wall, the two ladies who had been traveling with them disappeared, leaving only Ye Yiyi here.

One can't help but wonder if something happened to those two.

"That's about right." Ye Yi nodded expressionlessly and turned to point at the holy monument.

"Don't leave the area around this tombstone. I'll be back soon."

"OK……"

After giving instructions to the two of them, Ye Yiyi gave the Saint a look and then teleported to the Cursed Hall.

The scene changed, and he finally returned to the Cursed Hall.

"My dear hero, please follow me."

Follow the saint out of the chapel and go up to the second floor via the stairs on the side.

At the corner of the stairs, he saw a man with a gloomy face, wearing tattered armor and carrying a huge crossbow on his back, sitting on the steps.

Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned when she saw this. A strange face?

He and the gloomy man looked at each other. The man opened his eyes slightly, seeming a little confused by Ye Yiyi's inorganic appearance.

But he soon looked away, his chin supported by his arm covered with new and old scars, his gloomy eyes drooping as he stared blankly at the ground.

The two did not talk. When Ye Yiyi and his group reached the second floor, they couldn't help but look back.

"This guy... is Brother Dixin?"

After all, Ye Yiyi was too familiar with this image, especially the iconic giant metal crossbow behind him.

It can be used to launch large-scale crossbow arrows, and can also be transformed into a large sword for close combat. It is an extremely cool dual-purpose mechanical weapon.

There is no doubt that he is Brother Discouraged!

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Since he's come to the Cursed Temple, does that mean the quest line for the Demented God is about to begin?"

Without time to think carefully, they soon arrived in front of a door. The old blacksmith who was leaning against the wall of the corridor looked up and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're finally back... Wait, what's this look like?"

The old blacksmith widened his eyes and looked up and down at Ye Yiyi, who was made of metal, with a look of horror on his face.

"How did you transform yourself into an inorganic life form? Did the effects of the Heavenly Craftsmanship technique go out of control? No... This doesn't seem to be a loss of control of the technique, otherwise you would have died long ago!"

The old blacksmith stretched out a pair of wrinkled hands and touched his metal body, which made Ye Yiyi feel a chill.

"I'm fine, take your hand away!" He twisted his face and slapped the old blacksmith's hand away.

"I'll tell you more about this later. How are Alice and Bai Yu?"

"If you don't want me to touch you, then don't. Why are you using so much force?"

The old blacksmith frowned and rubbed the back of his hand, raising his chin towards the closed door beside him.

"They're all inside. Nivea is taking care of them with her little goblin. But I'm going to say this first, you have to be mentally prepared... Hey! Knock first!"

Seeing Ye Yiyi push the door open and walk in, the old blacksmith couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"This kid... Oh, forget it..."

The old blacksmith sighed deeply and lay helplessly on the corridor railing.

He might be blaming himself for causing such a serious injury to his important companion.

He turned his head to glance at the gloomy man sitting by the stairs, then looked at the statue of the Creator in the chapel next to him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"But war is like this..."

The saint stood beside the old blacksmith, silently looking at the tightly closed door, with her eyes slightly lowered.

……

"Nivea!"

Ye Yiyi pushed the door open and saw Alice sitting beside the bed, talking in a low voice with the goblin. Her hands were tied with gauze to cover the unsightly burn marks.

Bai Yu was lying on the bed behind the girl. She was naked and only had a thin blanket covering her lower body.

But the scene was not beautiful. Bai Yu's exposed skin was covered with a large number of silver-white crystals. The crystals seemed to be deeply embedded in his flesh and blood. A layer of light black mist floated on the surface, revealing a strange horror.

Many little fairies were surrounding her, stretching out their hands to maintain a layer of pale white light curtain.

"Yi Yi? You're back!"

Seeing Ye Yiyi coming in, Alice's eyes lit up and she immediately stood up and rushed towards him.

"Alice..."

The warmth of the girl's body came through the metal body. Ye Yi instinctively put his arms around her, but looked at Nivea with a serious expression.

"The Saint has already mentioned the problem between them."

The little goblin flapped its wings and flew over. Suddenly, he frowned and looked at the metal face in confusion.

"My hero, what are you doing..."

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Ye Yiyi shook his head, took out the Blessing of Life from behind his back and showed it to the little goblin.

"Look, can this save them?"

"Is this... a celebration of life?"

Looking at the glass tube in Ye Yiyi's hand and the gray mist in it that kept changing its shape like clouds, Nivea suddenly opened her mouth wide.

"Hero-sama, you actually have such an item?"

"Nonsense, this is my most precious treasure! So can it be saved?"

"no problem!"

Nivea nodded, suddenly feeling confident, and quickly instructed the fairy to take two Blessing of Life pills from Ye Yiyi.

"With this, even if someone has just died recently, I can bring them back from the dead!"

Seeing this, Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted Alice on the back, comforting her softly.

"Don't worry, everything is fine now. With Blessing of Life, your hand can be saved!"
