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

The never-ending war in the distance and the peaceful and beautiful pink woods here are two completely opposite environments.

"Boya, the luggage is ready, it's time for us to leave."

Before he could finish his sigh, a young voice suddenly called out from behind him.

He looked back in surprise, only to find that the voice was not calling him, but calling the young man standing next to him, who was also looking at the battlefield in the distance.

The young man's face was blurred, as if covered with a layer of mosaic, making it difficult for Ye Yiyi to see his features clearly.

But he noticed that the young man was wearing the black windbreaker he had obtained before, and the dark golden ancient tree emblem on his chest was extremely conspicuous at this moment.

At this moment, he heard someone calling from behind, and the young man named Boya spoke without turning his head.

"I'm sorry, Einar, I changed my mind. I plan to stay."

Hearing this, the equally blurry figure behind him froze.

"Stay?"

There was a hint of relief and sadness in Einar's tone, and then he sighed and spoke softly as if he had expected that.

"This morning, the Plantation Institute issued another warning. The alien god pollution is no longer controllable. The Holy Equipment Army has temporarily reached an agreement with Feilong. The self-sinking of Panya City is inevitable..."

"I know."

Boya answered softly, but still did not turn around.

"But rather than watch the soil and new trees sink along with the city, I would rather stay here."

"It's just a tree." Suna emphasized his tone, as if he wanted to fight for something.

“But it’s also my home.”

Boya looked down at the pink forest and replied calmly,

"My grandfather planted it with other planters and spent his life watching this tree grow, which has sheltered us. When he died, he was buried in the woods.

"A month ago, my father died in the plantation due to pollution and was buried deep under the tree altar.

"If I leave them, where can I go?"

"At least you can survive."

"No, Einar, you don't understand." Boya shook his head. "The war between kings will not end with the death of one side. This war will never end. No matter where we flee, we cannot escape death.

"In that case, why not stay with your family instead of leaving?"

"I understand……"

Einar sighed deeply, knowing that he could not change his mind, so he gave up trying to persuade him and turned away.

"correct."

Einar suddenly stopped.

"I heard from Lord Wu Shanzuo of the Holy Armament Army that some flying dragons and skillful slaves have also decided to stay. Like you, they don't want to leave their homeland...

"According to their plan, after Coilfang City sinks, they will cut down the new loam trees and use them to connect the Dragon Soul Fortress and the Dragon Hall... If you are still alive by then and change your mind, perhaps you can return to the surface."

Boya did not answer, but just looked at the battlefield in the distance silently.

Ye Yiyi watched Eina leave with a sigh, then walked into a small door not far away among the busy and blurry crowd, and her figure completely disappeared.

He turned around and saw that everything outside the window had suddenly stopped changing. The flapping dragon froze in the air, and the raging flames also stopped burning, as if time had stopped.

Also banned was Boya's back. He was slumped on the ground, his head resting on the glass curtain wall, and seemed to have closed his eyes.

In the silent world where everything had stopped, Ye Yiyi heard Boya praying.

"Great leyline, please bless Einar and help him find a grave to rest in..."

The light before my eyes dimmed and darkness fell.

Ye Yiyi watched the scene change. Boya, who had been slumped in the corner, turned into a windbreaker wrapped in ashes.

"Is it...over?"

He looked at the windbreaker, then raised his head and watched the red ghost merge into his translucent illusory body.

Soul Echo +5500

Soul Echo: 115417

"Outrageous... I watched the cutscenes and there's still a callback."

Ye Yiyi pursed his lips, then took out a clay pot from behind him, put all the ashes in the windbreaker into it, and then put it away together with the windbreaker.

Since I have taken someone else's soul echo and clothes, I might as well help arrange the burial.

“Didn’t I expect this is the correct way to use Dream Travel?

"So, those red ghosts we saw earlier should also be the wandering thoughts left by the ancient borderers. But why are they attracted to the Daytime Moon?"

Ye Yiyi thought in his heart, entered the door that Eina left, and continued to move up along the circular staircase.

Soon, he came to a big gate again.

"Squeak..."

Slowly pushing the door open, he stepped into a lighted corridor.

"It seems we've reached the Boss room."

Looking at the closed fog wall composed of hazy nebulae at the end of the corridor, he looked around and then walked into the rooms on both sides of the corridor.

"First, take a look at these rooms that can be explored."

He pushed open the wooden door in front of him that had been covered in dust for a long time, and used the waist lamp to illuminate the room.

After seeing the extremely familiar black pedestal in the center of the room, Ye Yiyi's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is actually..."

Chapter 381 [Holy Magnet Key] and Summoning Symbol

"This is actually... a cursed pedestal?"

Standing in the center of the empty room was a half-ruined cursed pedestal.

The crystal column that was originally filled with cursed black mist was hollowed out, and the black claws that Ye Yiyi remembered being used to restrain the little goblin were now only half a broken thumb.

It was undoubtedly the cursed pedestal he had seen before.

Smash it and you'll get a hymn about flying insects.

At least that was the case with the cursed pedestal that Ye Yiyi encountered twice before.

He walked forward and took a closer look at the pedestal column.

"Is it completely broken?"

He frowned and searched among the crystal fragments on the ground, but did not find the yellowed paper with the hymns.

"Was it taken away by someone?"

He thought to himself, but at the same time he was a little confused.

Besides him, who else has the ability to withstand the curse and shatter the pedestal?

The cursed pedestal that I saw in the weapons exhibition hall not only bound Lilylu, but also continuously released the stagnant and cursed black mist.

The black fog almost filled the entire working floor of the expo. If Ye Yiyi didn't have infinite health, he might not have been able to make it through even the first spiral staircase.

"Unless, this pedestal is similar to the one in Ezanatar and will not produce a curse..." Ye Yiyi couldn't help but think deeply.

The cursed pedestal seen on the top floor of the Ezana Mage Tower once bound the goblin Xingdian.

After Xingdian transformed into a butterfly and escaped from it, the pedestal was no longer useful, so he easily destroyed the pedestal and took the hymn of [Transformation into a Butterfly] from it.

From a functional point of view, the Cursed Pedestal is not just used to produce Cursed Black Mist.

Its greatest use is to bind the goblins, while at the same time, through the hymns it possesses, the effects of the hymns can be exerted on the goblins.

For example, Lilylu's [Metamorphosis] and Xingdian's [Transformation into a Butterfly].

The former failed before it even succeeded due to Ye Yiyi's interference. Although the latter succeeded, it was useless...

As for the pedestal in front of us, it may have the same reason as Xingdian.

In other words, there is a high probability that there is a demonized goblin in the Day-Moon Tower.

As for the lost hymn chapters, they should have been taken away by later people who passed by after the goblin successfully transformed into a demon and smashed it into pieces.

"The demonized goblin, and those who came after..."

Let’s not talk about the goblins for now. When it comes to the latecomers, they can only be the divine knights.

He raised his head and looked around.

The empty room was unusually tidy, without any leftover debris.

He raised the lamp and shone it towards the ground where he had come from. Sure enough, he found traces of footprints on the floor covered with thick dust.

"Hey, I found it."

Relying on the characteristics of solid space diamond, Ye Yiyi, who had been floating in the air and never landed on the ground, showed a sly smile.

Sure enough, unless the other party can also fly, it is impossible not to leave traces.

Follow the footprints out of the door and straight to the center of the corridor.

Looking down at the numerous and complicated footprints on the ground, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Well, it seems we still have to search this corridor thoroughly..."

He made up his mind and flew straight towards the gate opposite.

The door was not locked. He pulled the bolt and opened it backwards, and a crisp sound of the mechanism snapping into place reached his ears.

"Click!"

"boom!!"

A sudden loud noise rang in his ears, and Ye Yiyi's eyes suddenly turned black.

A large number of tiny pieces came towards them along with a strong shock wave, and fell on the iron-gray dragon scales with a clanging sound, but it was like raindrops falling into the lake, causing continuous ripples.

"what's the situation?"

He waved his hand blankly to disperse the smoke in front of him and looked down.

On the clean ground, there was a radial charred spot, with wisps of white smoke rising from it.

The wall on the side was covered with numerous tiny holes. When Ye Yi looked at them one by one, he saw black steel balls falling from them.

"Wait a minute, was that an explosion?"

Only then did he react and was shocked.

"No way, this door is actually booby-trapped?!"

Following the mimic monster and the poisonous crossbow arrows in the box, Ye Yiyi once again tasted the taste of a classic trap.

Fortunately, when he was attacked before, he applied a layer of [Conduction Stress] to himself, so he could not avoid being blown to pieces by the booby trap.

“That’s a bit outrageous…”

Picking up several steel balls of the same size from the ground, Ye Yiyi's mouth twitched.

I'm playing Souls-like, not Rainbow Six, right?

Why did we encounter such a classic trap as the door-opening broadsword?

"You are amazing, Son of Cyber..."

After applying another layer of conductive stress on himself, he walked into the smoke-filled room, took out his waist lamp and looked around.

Inside the spacious room, a large number of corpses covered with sackcloth were neatly arranged.

"This...? The morgue?"

Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the various sundries placed aside, almost piled up into a mountain.

When I looked closer, I realized that they were metal armor of various familiar styles, and various masks were neatly placed on the box next to them.

Among them were crying faces and smiling faces. Ye Yiyi also saw several sad and angry faces that he had never seen before.
