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

"Weapon self-destruct protection? What is that?"

"This is one of the techniques of the Heavenly Creator. Some high-end weapons have this kind of protection. It's a protective measure to prevent the weapon from self-destructing during extreme use."

"Oh, I see!"

Ye Yiyi suddenly realized what had happened. He finally knew what had happened to the explosion.

At the time, he thought that the weapon had exploded, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. It didn't make sense that there would be just a little durability left after the weapon exploded?

"Can this be repaired?"

After resolving the doubts, he turned his attention to the key issues.

The old blacksmith sighed slightly when he heard this.

"If it were ten thousand years ago, I would have suggested you get a new one. The golden sword and spear of the Mountain-class skilled slaves under the Universal Light Master are rare, but they are not impossible to buy...

"...But unfortunately, it's now ten thousand years later. Even if it's truly broken beyond repair, all I can say is, I'll do my best."

The old blacksmith shook his head as he spoke.

"I try my best."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yiyi's heart sank.

"Really... it can't be repaired?"

"It's not that it can't be repaired, it's just that it's very difficult to repair. If you have the time to repair it, it would be faster to just make a new one that's exactly the same!"

The old blacksmith stared up at him, his expression bewildered. "And I really don't understand. Who are you fighting? How did you use it to this extent?"

"A god..."

Ye Yiyi had a worried look on his face as he explained the existence of the Dragon-Armored White Feather Knight and even took out the long sword from his waist to show the blacksmith.

"Oh, that's not surprising."

The old blacksmith suddenly realized, "A spirit, that's not surprising, ah, that's not surprising."

He looked at the swords and spears on the table, and actually nodded, saying:

"Then this weapon is worth it~"

"Oh my God!" Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes and became a little anxious.

"Sir! Please stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me if there's any way to fix it!"

"Yes, but you have to hunt the stars."

The old blacksmith leaned back on the rattan chair, pouted his head and rolled his eyes.

"When stars fall, they drop star dust, and I need a can of photochemical dust, a can of lacquer shadow dust, and a can of cosmic light dust... Don't tell me you happen to have them."

Seeing Ye Yiyi suddenly relieved, the old blacksmith frowned and immediately realized that the matter was not simple, so he quickly changed his words.

"I don't have any, but I know where the stars are! And there are lots and lots of them!"

"What a coincidence! I know that too."

The old blacksmith rolled his eyes and collapsed again.

"The azure eternal moon is indeed full of stars, but how are you going to get there?"

"It's not the Azure Eternal Moon, it's the Coiled Fang Dragon City!"

"Uh?"

Ye Yiyi took out the other weapons that needed to be repaired and put them away one by one, then turned around and walked out impatiently.

"Just wait, I'll go collect the dust you want now!"

"You don't have a container, so you want to catch the stardust with your hands?"

The old blacksmith also became interested. He stood up and rummaged around in the corner, then handed over a small object.

"Take this with you."

Ye Yiyi took the object and took a look at it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is this... an astrological disk?"

The light curtain then popped out.

【Observe the Universe】

Chapter 356: Evil Spirit Mage

【Observe the Universe】

Item Description: An astrolabe engraved with ancient astrological records.

One of the replicas of the cosmic disk used by ancient astrologers.

It can collect and hold a variety of star dust.

It is said that only those who look across the universe can discover:

The universe is a vast, empty graveyard.

The astronomical disk that records the positions of the stars is the tombstone of the celestial remains.

It is also the place where ashes are buried.

"Ashes...are you talking about star dust?"

Sitting upright in the cockpit of a cruiser, Ye Yiyi looked at the star disk in his hand, which was engraved with complex lines and light spots. He moved his eyes away from the light curtain and looked up at the sky thoughtfully.

Located above the many tall towers, in the sky below the dark rock walls, a light blue star that looks like a swimming fish is now swimming across Ye Yiyi's field of vision, slowly shaking its tail.

It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful existence is inextricably linked to death and destruction.

After getting the item, he asked the old blacksmith about its origin.

"What does this have to do with graves? It's just a gift for visiting the Star Biology Museum. Collecting stardust is like collecting stamps. After all, the Star Biology Museums in different regions are different. You can collect different types of stardust by visiting more often..."

"You ask me why I still have this hobby? This isn't mine, it's my grandson's..."

Afterwards, the old blacksmith ended his answer with a dejected look, and just told him to take good care of it and not lose it, as similar things are hard to find nowadays.

Ye Yiyi noticed the old blacksmith's depressed mood, but wisely did not ask any more questions. He just quietly put away the astronomical plate and then left the Cursed Hall.

"So this is a replica..." He sighed softly, "The object may be a replica, but the thoughts and emotions poured into it are not. For some people, it is still an irreplaceable treasure."

As for the stars themselves, he still didn't know their exact origins, but that didn't matter.

Compared to Pisces, the life and death of the stars is not important.

Since this book is used to collect stardust, just collect more.

Of course, things should be prioritized and done one by one.

Compared to hunting stars and repairing the Sanctuary, it is more important to destroy the Dragon of Evolution first.

The stars won't run away anyway, but the Dragon of Evolution may not be the same.

In order to prevent the other party from suddenly waking up, running away early, or causing trouble when he was hunting stars, he planned to eliminate it first.

But before that, he needs to find Angel first and reunite with them who have been separated temporarily.

"Sir! Xiaochu said he found the master's location!"

In the co-pilot seat, Su Ke, who was communicating with Xiao Ju in some strange way, conveyed the news to him.

"Is it."

Ye Yiyi nodded, put away the cosmic viewing disk, and then started the cruiser.

"Sit tight, let's go."

"Om~~"

Then, two pairs of light wings spread outward, and the patroller flew away from the top of the Botanical Research Institute and disappeared into the depths of the metal forest formed by the high towers.

With the vehicle, he moved much faster.

Soon, he followed Xiaojiu's instructions, crossed half of the city, and came to a relatively open area.

"This place... is like a garden in a steel city?"

What surprised Ye Yiyi was that there were no tall towers or large metal buildings here.

On a relatively large area of ​​land, there is a pale forest composed of countless pale dead trees.

It seems that even among flying dragons, not all of them like cold metal.

No matter how magnificent a steel city is, it still needs some greenery to embellish it.

In the center of the forest stood a giant pale tree stump with a diameter of nearly 100 meters and a height no less than a tower.

But it was just a wooden stake, the grave of the tree left where the trunk had broken off.

The stake alone is so huge, you can imagine how magnificent it was before it broke. The dense trunk might have covered the entire city, like a lingering temple of the Babel Tree.

"……and many more!"

Ye Yiyi suddenly woke up as if from a dream and reacted.

"Could that be the Lingering Temple in Coiled Fang Dragon City?"

"I saw it, Angel and the others are there!"

Su Ke suddenly spoke, interrupting Ye Yiyi's thoughts.

"Wait a minute, they seem to have encountered the enemy! They are being chased!"

"enemy?"

Ye Yiyi frowned and looked down, and saw a crab moving quickly somewhere in the pale forest.

And to its right - or behind the crab's path, there are several huge skeleton balls following closely.

And this is not the end. Behind the ball of bones, a gray-robed man riding a giant skeleton lizard is waving a pale wooden scepter and continuously shooting gray-white heads of resentful spirits forward.

The flying speed of these resentful soul heads is not very fast, only comparable to the speed of crabs.

But they have extremely strong tracking abilities, and even if they can't catch up, they can still hang in the air far behind the crab.

Coupled with the three oppressive skeleton balls, even Ye Yiyi felt his scalp tingling when he saw this scene.

"Ghost Mage and Skeleton Roll..." Ye Yiyan's eyes twitched uncontrollably, "One of the most abstract and disgusting combinations in the game."

"What?" Su Ke looked up at him in confusion.

"No, nothing... Sit down."

Ye Yiyi shook his head and suddenly lowered the altitude of the Cruiser.

"?"

As if sensing the presence of the patroller, the gray-robed man riding on the skeleton giant lizard stopped casting spells and suddenly looked up.

Under the gray hood, a phantom pale face without any facial features was revealed.

"Without facial features, he is indeed an evil spirit wizard." Ye Yiyi lowered his eyes and took a glance, immediately confirming his judgment.

In the game, the Ghast Mage, like the Skeleton Roller, is a monster infected by the Curse of Stagnation.

But unlike skeleton monsters that can only hack and kill, the evil spirit cavalry can not only release magic for long-range attacks, but also summon and enslave other cursed creatures.

The disgusting thing is that as long as the Ghast Mage is not dead, the other cursed creatures it summons cannot be killed.

Such characteristics determine that the Ghast Mages will basically not fight players head-on. They will not take the initiative to attack, but will find a place to hide themselves and constantly summon cursed creatures to harass players.

This situation often occurs in scenes with extremely complex terrain.

If you don't brave the cursed creature's pursuit and forcefully kill it as soon as possible, it will summon countless cursed creatures, allowing the player to experience firsthand how fucked up it is to fight ten thousand alone.

But how easy is it to find each other in a complex scene map?

Even if it successfully finds the other party despite the siege of the cursed creature, it is not an enemy that can be slaughtered at will and is powerless.

Rather, it's just the beginning of its design that can truly make players sick and upset...

Therefore, the Ghast Mage has become one of the most disgusting monsters in the game. It has tortured novice players who are exploring the game alone countless times, causing them to lose their minds and smash their controllers in anger, including Ye Yiyi.

"No matter how dirty the method is, it's never too dirty to deal with this kind of thing!"
