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

Ye Yiyi was stunned.

The King of Cursed Frogs?

Still two ends?

He had killed so many curse frogs in Lupe Rain Forest but didn't encounter a single one, and she saw two at once?

"Where is that place?"

He couldn't help but ask curiously, wanting to see what kind of place was so awesome that it could raise two dragons and phoenixes.

"Southeast of the East Border, in the Weeping Mountains outside the city of Ursus. That's the only way to get from the South Border to the East Border."

"The city of Ursus? Crying to the mountains?"

Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up. He knew this place.

This city exists in the game. It is the starting area of ​​the eastern border and is also one of the bases of the Hymn Praisers organization and the Forge Sect.

In the Weeping Mountains lives a giant beast of the same rank as the Spread-Winged Eagle. It is a hidden wild BOSS in the game and the final BOSS of the NPC Gravedigger side quest.

"I see. I'll go back and take a look when I pass by there."

Ye Yiyi nodded and made a note of the journey goal in his mind.

Ignoring the female knight's hesitant expression, he walked around the pit of corpses, looking through the remains left by the Fire Sparrow Monk one by one.

It’s a pity that these monks had been dead for too long, and had just been blown up by the spiritual fire petals. The various items they carried with them were either turned into ashes or lost their value and turned into garbage residue.

However, next to the Fire Feather Knight, Ye Yiyi found a medium-sized shield that was still intact.

[Fire Feather Shield]

Requirements: Strength 14, Skill 10.

Attribute correction: Strength D, Skill E.

Durability: 121/200.

Item Description: A kite-shaped shield painted with fireflies, sparks, and decorated with fire feather patterns.

A metal shield made in a popular style.

A shield bestowed only on the elite knights stationed in the royal capital.

Possesses high fire attribute defense.

The worship of fire has been rooted in my heart since childhood.

The young knights thrive under the influence of faith.

Therefore, all the Knights of Fire Feather are hymn-praisers of fire.

At the same time, faith can also increase the power of combat skills.

Combat skills: Feather flame shield attack.

Skill consumption: [0/12]

Attribute correction: Strength B, Skill C, Mystery B.

Skill Description: Hold the shield steady and form wings of fire feathers at the edge.

A forward swing creates a phantom Fire Feather Shield that shoots out.

Consumes concentration points to increase its power.

"Fire Feather Shield? Is this thing a pair with the Fire Crown Shield?"

He looked at the slightly charred shield. The patterns on it were a little unclear, but he could vaguely see red feather patterns on the edge of the shield.

"Feather Flame Shield Attack, a long-range flame attack using a shield, quite interesting."

Unfortunately, Ye Yiyi rarely uses the shield and has no use for it.

The function of a shield is to resist damage, but for Ye Yiyi, who has infinite health, damage itself is meaningless.

“It’s a pity.”

He shook his head, glanced at Narli who was fighting with two swords, thought for a moment, and threw the shield to Astraea.

"I'll lend it to you for now. Remember to return it to me when you get out."

"Uh, okay..."

The female knight took the shield with a bit of disdain, and the first thing she did was to use the Cleansing Technique to remove the ash and dust on it.

Since she wasn't participating in the battle, she did need a shield to protect herself.

Although she had doubts about the resistance of the shield that had just been torn off the corpse, there was no better way at the moment.

The two then searched around the bottom of the corpse pit and soon found a rope ladder in the corner.

The rope ladder looked a little old, with some charred marks on it. It must have been left behind by the monks.

"Those bodies didn't seem to have fallen to their deaths. Instead, they looked like they had been killed by the poisonous smoke. This suggests the monks must have explored from another route."

Looking up at the dark and dim platform, Ye Yiyi had the rare experience of climbing the stairs himself.

Ever since he got Kongyouwuyi, he has been relying on flying to travel.

If you were to rank a wheelchair in map-pushing combat skills, Kongyou Wuyi would definitely be T0.

Following the rope ladder to the high platform, Ye Yiyi raised the lamp in his hand high, and a wide road nearly ten meters wide, with both sides hidden in the darkness, appeared before his eyes.

"This place..."

The platform he was currently on was located right in the middle of the wide road that ran across it, in a narrow concave space.

Ye Yiyi frowned and looked around. His eyes swept over the withered bones of the monk sitting slumped in the corner, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of déjà vu arose in his heart.

"I have a bad feeling."

The female knight climbed up the rope ladder, looking around cautiously and muttering to herself.

"I smell danger. There must be a trap here."

"I feel the same way. Anyway, don't go out yet."

Ye Yiyi said as he walked to the slumped skeleton and rummaged through the charred fragments of his clothes.

But unfortunately, all he had in his arms was a burnt copy of a book.

He tried to open the book, but found that the pages had already turned to ashes.

“There is no light curtain…”

Ye Yiyi was a little disappointed as she watched the books in her hands turn into ashes and scatter all over the floor.

But then he was surprised to see a faint red light suddenly rise from the ashes, quietly fall into the arms of the dry bones, and turn into a ball of illusory red flame.

"what is that?"

Astraea was slightly surprised.

"I'm not sure... but it feels a bit like the flame on the Void Spark."

Ye Yiyi stretched out her hand to touch it, and the illusory flame immediately wrapped around her fingertips, turning into a stream of light and sinking deep into her skin.

"grown ups!!"

Astraea's pupils shrank slightly and she almost screamed.

She trotted over quickly, flipping through the pages of the book in her hand rapidly.

"Please wait a moment, I will perform the hymn immediately!"

"No, I'm fine."

But Ye Yiyi stretched out his hand to stop the female knight's action.

He looked down at his palm whose light had faded, and felt something new in his mind.

"That illusory flame...seems to be a wandering thought."

"Wandering thoughts?"

Astraea was suddenly stunned, and the pages of the book in her hand that were flipping rapidly also slowly stopped.

"what is that?"

"It is the wandering thoughts that once polluted the moon of the Kingdom of God."

Ye Yiyi looked back at her inexplicably, and the female knight's expression instantly stiffened.

Ignoring Astralia who was looking around trying to ease the embarrassment, Ye Yiyi stood up and put his thoughts into his mind.

Then a strange hymn came to mind.

[Illusive Fire]

Spell slots occupied: 1.

Skill consumption: 24.

Requirements: Faith 30.

Item Description: A hymn that desecrates the fire of the Firefinch.

Can form illusory spiritual flame pillars on the ground.

The spiritual fire will continue to burn the flesh until the bones are exposed.

Can be used continuously.

By charging, the range and power of the flame column can be expanded.

The monk, driven to despair by his piety, left these words amidst the burning:

Burn the liars! Shoot the flaming sparrows!

The Flame Spirit is already dead!!

"This……"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment.

The preface of this hymn is different from any other hymn I have ever seen. It is not a praise, but a blasphemy!

"Desecrating the Fire Sparrow's fire? And what does it mean that this flame spirit is already dead?"

He couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little confused.

From the descriptions of other items, we know that the Spirit of Fire should refer to the Immortal Life Seed Spirit Lotus.

But how can there be life and death for immortal life?

He also hadn't heard that the lingering earth veins would die.

"And this burning liars? Shooting the fire sparrow?"

He probably understood the meaning of shooting the Fire Sparrow, but who was this liar?

As if noticing Ye Yiyi's strange expression, Astralia asked with some concern.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just thinking about something."

Ye Yiyi shook his head, not forgetting that he was still exploring the catacombs.

Putting his doubts in the depths of his heart for the moment, he looked down at the monk's skeleton that had been burned black by the flames.

What did these fire monks who once explored the catacombs discover?

He turned his head to look at the wide road beside him. With the residual light of the spiritual fire lotus, he vaguely saw several corpses lying in the deep darkness in the distance.

"Anyway, don't go out yet. Let me investigate."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and summoned a mercury lamp on the spot.

"Doll?"

Astralia looked at Mercury Lamp curiously, took the waist lamp, stepped on Ye Yiyi's shoulders, jumped onto the dung beetle's back and sat down, flying out like a shining firefly.

"Look to the right first."

Mercury Lamp held the waist lamp in his arms and gave instructions to the dung beetle.
