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

"Bang!!"

Amidst the howling wind, a steel arrow tore through the atmosphere, carrying huge kinetic energy and piercing straight into Ye Yiyan's eye socket, knocking him off his back and falling into the mud.

In front of a platform above a distant tower, a skinny man with a pale body slowly pulled out another large arrow from the quiver on his back.

"Those who are disobedient and stagnant, come and become our fellow men of the dead."

He spoke softly and put the big arrow on the bowstring.

"boom!!"

Chapter 337 Plantation Research Institute and [Energy Storage Fragmentation Crystal]

"boom!!"

The sound of air exploding rang out before his eyes, and the skinny man's head suddenly exploded, turning into black mist and spreading outward.

The headless body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the mist gathered and transformed into a man's body somewhere else.

He looked back expressionlessly and saw a slightly trembling rebar arrow somewhere above the tower.

"This arrow..."

There was a hint of confusion in the man's unfocused eyes.

"...It seems to be the one I just ejaculated?"

"boom!!"

Another loud bang was heard, and the man's upper body suddenly exploded and turned into mist and dissipated, leaving only two pale long legs standing alone in the place.

"Bang!"

The large metal bow fell to the ground with a heavy sound.

The mist soon transformed into a man's figure somewhere else. He hurriedly picked up the bow and rushed to the edge of the platform without looking back.

Something is wrong! This person is talking differently from the adults!

We must do our best to stop him!

The man's body turned into a ball of black mist in mid-air, rushed straight into the depths, and disappeared.

"Ha! A sneak attack, huh?"

Ye Yiyi was covered in mud and stood in the mud with the Red Dragon Bow held high.

He watched the man turn into black mist and retreat. Blessed by [Stargazing], his eyes, which were flashing with a faint white light, narrowed slightly.

"You want to run away after the sneak attack? How can such a thing happen?"

He put away the longbow and took out the Moonlight Spear again, releasing [Color] and dyeing the escaping black mist with a bright white color.

At this moment, Xiao Qian finally rushed back to his original place. Su Ke, who was held in Angel's arms, opened his mouth wide and asked with concern.

"Master Oscar! Are you okay?!"

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Ye Yiyi put down the Moonlight Gun for the moment and looked up at Norsley who was silent.

"We're not far from our destination. I'll walk the rest of the way alone."

"Okay, I will protect them."

The psychic lady nodded slightly, then raised her staff thoughtfully, with black mist swirling around it.

An unknown summoning magic was released, and the black mist gathered and transformed into a strange creature with a cylindrical body in front of him, with three pairs of diamond-shaped crystal wings floating behind it.

"Let Xiaochu accompany you," Norsley said, putting down her staff. "It can unleash a large-scale deceleration attack, and it can fly. It will be very effective as a secondary weapon during an offensive."

"I won't complain about your naming ability for now..."

Ye Yiyi looked at Xiaojiu flying towards him with its diamond-shaped wings dancing, floating beside him while making ethereal "chirp" sounds, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"...You're actually doing this to get more pay, right?"

"Has it been discovered?"

Norsley tilted her head and hesitated for a rare moment.

"How about... I give you a discount on Xiaochu's appearance fee?"

"Forget it! I'll pay you based on your effort. How much do I need?"

The female psychic bent down and bowed without saying a word.

"Happy hunting then!"

The corner of Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched, and he looked at the white-haired boy who was staring at Xiaochu in a daze.

"And you kid, I'm going to the testing grounds. Do you have any advice for me?"

"Uh..." The young man hesitated slightly and said, "There's a strange metal monster in the testing ground that can emit golden lightning... Please be careful."

Metal? Golden lightning? That could be a golem.

Ye Yiyi nodded, then grabbed Su Ke, whose face was full of desire, and put him on his shoulder.

Then he said goodbye to Xiao Qiang and rushed into the depths alone.

He did not encounter any ambushes from other dark dead along the way, and soon he came to a strange building that was very different from the surrounding towers.

From the appearance, it is somewhat similar to the Aztec pyramid on Earth, but it is larger. Even if most of it is buried in the mud, the vast platform at the top of the tower can accommodate multiple flying dragons to stay.

"This should be the testing ground."

Ye Yiyi stopped for a moment and looked around.

At this moment, in his field of vision, the blue outline symbolizing the dragon-clad White Feather Knight was located in the center of the pyramid, while the white outline symbolizing the dark dead man was located at the top of the pyramid.

After discovering that the sneak attack with the big arrow was ineffective against Ye Yiyi, it immediately rushed back here. It must have recalled other deep dead along the way to concentrate its advantages to resist Ye Yiyi's attack.

This is also the reason why he did not encounter any other ambushes on the way here.

"Heh, it seems these deceased were not warriors and had little combat experience."

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but sneer after instantly understanding the thoughts of these dead people.

Concentrate forces to fight back?

It's a good idea, but instead of transforming into black mist to move in open areas and using long-range harassment to achieve high mobility in guerrilla warfare, choosing to fight inside narrow buildings, isn't that just trapping yourself?

"It saves me from running around everywhere."

He leaped up and rushed up the steps of the pyramid to the top.

At the highest point of the pyramid is a flat metal platform. Ye Yi glanced around and found many metal vehicles in intact appearance.

Most of them were load-bearing vehicles, probably used to transport the dead.

"Huh? There are cruisers here too?"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he found a "Dragonfly" that he had flown before next to a raised bungalow on the platform.

The dragonfly looks intact and has all its wings intact. Although it is covered with a thick layer of dust, it should still be usable.

"We can use this to chase the giant skeleton and the Evolved Dragon later."

He made up his mind, then walked to the bungalow and slightly pushed open the half-closed door.

Before he could take out his waist lamp and light it up, the three pairs of diamond-shaped crystal wings of Xiaojiu beside him lit up, dispelling the darkness in front of them.

"It's too conspicuous, turn it off." He frowned slightly and took out his waist lamp to light it up.

"Chirp..."

Xiaojiu hummed in disappointment, and the wings behind him dimmed.

"Little fool, your small body will probably break if hit. Let me take over the fire."

"Chirp~"

The strange-looking little creature regained its spirit after listening to Ye Yiyi's explanation.

Taking a look at the facilities in the bungalow with the help of a waist lamp, he found two familiar elevator shafts.

It was almost the same as the elevator in the underground clear water passage, except that both elevators were now located on the lower floors.

Ye Yiyi looked down and saw that the white outline symbolizing the dead had now penetrated deep into the pyramid and appeared next to the knight.

"Running pretty fast."

He pulled the lever on the side, but the elevator didn't move at all, as if it was stuck or closed by the deceased who went down first.

"Is there no other way..."

He pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Su Ke, who was standing silently on his shoulder.

"Hold on tight, I'm ready to jump."

"Uh... sorry, Bishop Aidan just went back to the tavern to get some information about ancient architecture, and I just sorted it out... Wait, don't jump yet!"

Unfortunately, Suke's shrill howl came a little late, and Ye Yiyi had already jumped down.

The sound of whistling wind was heard, and the light on his waist illuminated the dark pipe. When he was about to land, he casually released [Feather Fall] and his figure floated to the ground.

"What did you want to say just now?" He then turned his head to look at the mouse on his shoulder.

"No, nothing." Su Ke said tremblingly, "I just didn't expect you, sir, to know hymns..."

"Oh, not now." Ye Yiyi put away the hymn book and took out the Moonlight Gun.

Su Ke: “?”

He looked around the elevator room on the ground floor with the help of a waist lamp, walked out of the only open door, and came to a very large circular hall.

"Those two guys are still down there..."

He lowered his head to glance at the outline still deep beneath his feet, then looked around and found a holy monument at the other end of the hall.

"Finally, we found the holy monument."

This was the first holy tablet he had found since arriving in the Flying Dragon City.

He exhaled slightly, then walked to the holy monument and lit it up.

"The holy monument will give the place name, so it's a good opportunity to see where this place is."

As the golden light curtain spread outward, a name appeared in Ye Yiyi's mind.

[Panyalongcheng Plantation Research Institute Upper Hall]

"Plantation Research Institute?" Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is quite novel, but judging from the name, the Botanical Research Institute should be the workplace of the botanist, that is, a place to study various plants.

"Panya Dragon City...but this research institute doesn't look like it's for flying dragons..."

He walked around the hall, then used his waist lamp to look at the reliefs of various giant trees and flying dragons on the wall. Then he found a dead body with pale skin in a corner.

"This figure looks like a deceased person... Is this guy pretending to be dead?"

"Maybe he fell asleep, in eternal sleep or something..." Su Ke couldn't help but tell a joke.

"You're quite humorous." Ye Yiyi curled the corners of his mouth, then bent down in front of the corpse, looked around, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"what is this?"

He lifted the clothes in front of the dead body and took out a small blue stone from his arms.

Looking down, a light curtain popped up.

【Energy Storage Shattering Crystal】

Chapter 338 Will curiosity kill the cat?

"Shattered crystal?"

After seeing the name, Ye Yiyi was a little stunned, "This name...why does it feel familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before?"

"You must have remembered it wrongly. Angel was talking about the Detonation Crystal."

Su Ke lay on his shoulder and stared at the blue stone. His pair of bean-sized rat eyes rolled around, as if he saw something on the corpse again.
