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

As long as these gems are inlaid into the "enchantment holes" of weapons by blacksmiths, the performance of the weapons themselves can be improved.

After all, in order to encourage players to try all types of weapons, game makers boldly eliminated the traditional weapon enhancement mechanism.

Instead, there is a mechanism to embed enchanted gems to qualitatively enhance weapons.

"Although I've barely used this mechanism..."

Stroking and looking at the flower-like crystal cluster on the back of the Gem Beast, Ye Yiyi pursed his lips and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

From the time he traveled through time until now, he had only used flames and skill gems to strengthen his weapon, the Ferocious Severing Fang, in the early stages.

Later on, he got more and more weapons, and the speed of updating his main weapon became faster and faster.

Most weapons are only used once or twice when first acquired, as toys, and then put into cold storage once the novelty wears off.

I will only use them all at once when I have time to practice my combat skills.

Even powerful weapons with exclusive combat skills have the same effect as combat skill launchers.

Especially after getting the [Notes of the Unrivaled Person], he was too lazy to even draw his weapon during battle.

If the weapon is his wife, then Ye Yiyi's behavior is that of a complete scumbag.

"For me now, enchanted gems are not very useful. They are just icing on the cake. They are far less useful than when I first started exploring the land."

Whispering softly, Ye Yiyi broke open the crystal clusters one by one, revealing the pistil of this crystal flower.

A colorless transparent gem the size of a marble then appeared before his eyes.

"This is the gem produced by this Linlang Gem Beast. It looks a bit like a glass bead..."

Thinking so, Ye Yiyi stretched out her white fingertips to pick up the gem.

The light curtain then popped out.

【Ripe Gemstone】

Item Description: It is said to be a gem that has metamorphosed from ordinary stone and is extremely rare.

Used for qualitative enhancement of weapons.

A qualitative enhancement that can give weapons a "blunt and heavy" effect.

Or it can increase the damage compensation of the weapon's "strength" attribute.

A particularly heavy blunt force blow can break through strong defenses.

After causing the special state of "armor breaking", it can deal more damage.

The beast of jewels feeds on stone and is a sublime life form within stone.

Their backs are said to produce exotic gemstones with special powers.

"Not bad luck!"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up.

This was the first time the prize was drawn, and a nice gem was produced.

The "blunt and heavy" qualitative change of the mature gem can not only give the damage of sharp weapon strike attributes in the game, but also give the enemy the special state of "armor breaking" after continuous attack.

In the "Armor Break" state, the enemy's physical attribute damage reduction rate will be reduced.

It is very effective against enemies with strong armor, such as Skill Thralls.

In addition, the "blunt and heavy" qualitative change will also increase the impact level of the weapon, and the attack will cause a higher level of stiffness effect on the enemy.

Simply put, it is to make the dagger have the impact force of a straight sword.

If combined with the advantage of the dagger's fast attack speed, it can continuously cause stiffness by resetting the attack, directly hitting the opponent so that he can't fight back. It can be called a low-level PvP invasion artifact.

In comparison, the gem's other damage-compensating effect, which can enhance strength attributes, seems quite useless.

"Now that I've got the mature gem, should I get a small sickle to play with?"

Looking at the colorless gem in his hand, Ye Yiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But the problem is that there is no such thing as a suppressed invasion in reality, so even if you create one, it would be completely useless.

And at his current level, if he were to play PVP in the game, it would be like a group of wheelchair supermen fighting against gods, with all kinds of cool special effects flying everywhere! You couldn't even see the people!

Simple and unpretentious people like Xiao Liandao, the old people of the previous dynasty, have long since left the stage of history.

So Ye Yiyi started to have another brilliant idea.

"Perhaps it can be used in conjunction with the straight sword's cancelling effect?"

If the gem is installed on a straight sword, it can give the straight sword the impact effect of a light greatsword.

If you stack another layer of strength correction and combine it with Ye Yiyi's strength characteristics, it will be enough to create a straight sword with a crazy attack speed and the impact power of a greatsword.

The only problem is that the Greyscale Contract itself is a one-piece longsword made of ancient dragon scales. It is a special weapon and cannot be enchanted with a hole.

In other words, the mature gem cannot be installed on the Grayscale Contract.

"Could it be that apart from the Grayscale Contract, there's no way to cancel other weapons?"

Ye Yiyi frowned and fell into deep thought again.

The reason why Grayscale Contract can be canceled is because the posture and movements of its combat skills are quite special, and it can even be directly activated during the afterswing of a normal attack.

From the outside, the afterswing of the normal attack instantly turns into the pre-swing of releasing the combat skill.

It is equivalent to directly canceling the afterswing of the normal attack.

Although the movements look quite weird, they can reset the attack at a faster speed.

Since this combat skill can cancel, can other combat skills also do this?

To understand this clearly, we need to understand the difference between the Grayscale Contract's combat skill - Dragon Ash and other combat skills.

"Then try it while walking!"

Finally, he found something that interested him. He quickly put away the body of the Linlang Gem Beast, dismounted with great interest, took out the Gray Scale Contract and various straight swords from behind him, and studied them as he walked.

From the deep forest, there were bursts of whistling sounds of long swords breaking through the air and the crisp shattering sounds of crystal columns collapsing.

As he walked, Ye Yi tried out various combat techniques that he had already mastered, trying to find out the true principle of "cancellation".

Since we want to test attack cancellation, we naturally need to find a target to attack.

Therefore, the towering crystal columns that can be seen everywhere in the forest became the best targets.

But what Ye Yiyi didn't expect was that some of these crystal columns actually grew on some kind of monster.

"Ao Weng~~"

As a dull buzzing roar came from underground, the damp earth rumbled, cracking deep cracks and turning over black soil with a rotten smell.

"It's hiding underground. Could it be a mimic monster?"

Ye Yiyi held a sword in each hand and stood far away, frowning as he watched the huge creature covered with crystals crawl out from the ground.

This giant beast does not have human features like the mimic monster. On the contrary, it is a giant turtle sleeping underground.

This big turtle is nearly ten meters long, and its towering head is three or four meters high when standing upright.

It has a bloated body, and its exposed legs and head are covered with a thick layer of crystalline shell.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the disc-shaped crystalline turtle shell that wraps its body.

On the tortoise shell, in the crystal pillars that were like countless long swords piercing the sky, the deep and mysterious misty nebula spread out without wind, completely covering the already dark and gloomy sky.

"Crack, click..."

The sound of crystals shattering was heard in the air. Ye Yiyi looked down at the soil and trees slowly crystallizing in the misty nebula, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"The magic power released by this crystal turtle is in no way weaker than that of an ordinary star."

"Pong!"

The Crystal Turtle took a slow step forward, and the earth began to whine under the giant beast's feet.

A large number of crystal clusters grew out along the crystalline ground and spread to Ye Yiyi's feet in the blink of an eye.

"This speed..."

Ye Yiyi's expression changed slightly and he suddenly jumped back.

By the time he landed, the world in front of him had turned into crystals.

Trees, land, grass and stones were all destroyed.

Looking down at the crystallized leather boots, he narrowed his eyes and looked up, a murderous intent suddenly arose in his heart.

If this crystal turtle were allowed to leave the forest and enter a human settlement, it would surely be a horrific crystallization disaster!

"How could such a monster be hiding in the Forest of Ten Thousand Stone Crystals?"

He muttered to himself, then raised the Moonlight Spear high and tentatively shot a magic comet forward.

The deep blue comet stretched out a long tail and landed accurately on the turtle's head covered with thick crystals.

"Click..."

The thick crystals shattered quietly, and crystal fragments splashed everywhere.

But when they looked again after the comet dissipated, they found that there was only a shallow dent less than the size of a finger on the crystalline shell.

But the thick crystal was half a meter deep, so this dent was almost the same as not breaking the defense at all.

The giant crystal turtle was unaware of this and was still looking elsewhere. It took another slow step forward and released a large number of crystal clusters.

Seeing this, Ye Yiyi frowned slightly and thought in his heart.

"Just as I suspected, this Crystal Turtle's magic damage reduction rate is terrifyingly high, almost immune. If I weren't intelligent enough and strong enough to fly like a brick, I'm afraid the Magic Comet wouldn't even be able to break through my defense."

Of course, it is not difficult to kill the other party, it can even be said to be quite simple.

A sublimation magic power will be sent over to evaporate all the crystals on its body surface and that's it.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Ye Yiyi raised the Moonlight Gun again and activated the sublimated magic power.

"Om!!"

A brilliant light suddenly burst out, and the crystal cluster that was spreading outward without limit suddenly stopped growing.

The giant turtle seemed to have noticed something and slowly turned its head, but its huge crystalline body slowly disintegrated in the light.

"This……"

Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned and slowly put down the Moonlight Gun in his hand.

His sharp mind suddenly detected a strange message coming from the distant gaze of the giant crystal turtle.

"Thanks……?"

As he muttered to himself in confusion, the giant turtle's huge body shattered into crystals and scattered all over the ground, then turned into gray mist and disappeared into the air.

Soul Echo +8050.

Current soul echoes: 185659.

"That's... gone?"

Ye Yiyi's eyes were dazed as he walked forward, stepping on the earth that had lost its crystals and returned to the soil.

He came to the place where the crystal turtle disappeared, and saw a nearly one-meter-long mottled turtle shell lying quietly in the surging soil.

Compared to the ten-meter-long giant shell on the previous giant turtle, this shell is too small.

“Why has the size shrunk so much?”

He frowned and picked up the turtle shell, and a light curtain popped out.

"This is actually a shield?"

His eyes widened in surprise.
