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

Then the light was seen distorted in the air, the crystal arch pillars disappeared out of thin air, and a phantom cloaked in black and wearing a faceless mask fell on its back with a hole as big as a head in its chest.

Soul Echo +920.

Current soul echoes: 187472.

"Why not just follow Lupel's example and only reveal your body when attacking? Why do you have to use mimicry?"

Ye Yiyi shook his head slightly and glanced aside.

Then we saw the dung beetle enthusiastically chasing the naughty magic comet's butt, and the two of them were traveling at high speed among the ruins, as if they were playing a game of hide-and-seek.

"It's pure joy..."

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips, but didn't think of stopping it.

Just let them play, maybe you can catch two more phantoms.

I wouldn't say he's actually a bit impatient...

He shook his head and looked down at the debris under his feet, but he saw some illusory phantom out of the corner of his eye.

"what?"

He turned his head and saw that the light on the bluestone floor in the corner of the hall was slightly distorted.

It is naturally impossible to detect such subtle changes by observing with the naked eye, but eyes blessed by [Stargazing] can see through illusions and disguises.

"Could this be an illusion wall?"

He walked forward with a sense of wonder and poked the ground with the Moonlight Gun.

"Om~"

The next moment, the bluestone floor covered with moss and tiny crystals slowly disappeared, revealing a deep staircase.

"It really is!"

His eyes lit up, and then he turned around and shouted.

"Dung beetle, come here!"

"Buzz buzz!!"

So he carried the dung beetle on one shoulder and the magic comet on the other, stepped onto the steps with crystal clusters on both sides, and walked towards the depths of the underground.

Walking down the winding tunnel, we soon found ourselves in front of a heavy steel door.

"This door..."

By the light of the magic comet, he saw the golden olive relief on the door.

"It is indeed the remains left by the Zhige Palace..."

He thought for a moment, raised his hand, grasped the indentation under the door, and lifted it straight up.

"Crack!"

With the sound of a mechanism clicking, a damp little room with bookshelves lining the walls and a desk in the middle came into view.

"It looks like a spy base."

He took out his waist lamp and lit it up, then scanned the area with the light, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

In the corner behind the desk, under the wall, there is a treasure chest with a very familiar shape.

“I won the prize!!”

Chapter 498 [Invisible Hunter] and [Hidden Blade]

Without paying attention to other things in the room, Ye Yiyi went straight over the desk and came to the treasure chest.

"No wonder there are two magician phantoms guarding it. It turns out there are hidden things in this place."

As he thought so, he leaned over to examine the ordinary-looking treasure chest, and suddenly felt a little confused.

"But then again, considering it's related to the Hidden Palace, could this treasure chest be a treasure chest monster?"

He thought of the mimic monster disguised as a basement that he had encountered in Garden Village.

Unlike a certain soul-gaming game, the mimic monsters in "Curse of Stasis" cannot be identified by their appearance. The best way is to chop them first and see if there is a health bar popping up.

However, considering that there are also "durable kings" among the mimic monsters, which can be immune to any form of physical attack in the mimic state, the method of cutting first cannot be said to be completely safe.

Of course, if it were the current Ye Yiyi, there would be no need for such trouble.

After getting the dung beetle and the magic comet ready, he stepped back outside the desk and then lightly waved the Moonlight Spear, summoning two puppet hands.

“It would be nice if we could play games like this.”

He complained silently and controlled the puppet hand to open the treasure chest.

"call out!!"

As the treasure chest opened a gap, a short sound of breaking air was suddenly heard.

On the bookshelf beside Ye Yiyi, many damp books suddenly exploded, and the flying pages scattered across the room like flowers from heaven.

"It's not a mimic monster, but a trap?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the pages of books scattered all over the sky, then turned his head to look at the bookshelf that looked like it had been shattered by a bomb, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"But this trap doesn't seem to be something like a bow or crossbow. It seems to be magic?"

The power of a crossbow cannot be so great, unless the magicians use explosive crystal crossbow arrows.

He walked past the desk and came to the open treasure chest. He looked around and found a strange metal crossbow.

"Is it really a crossbow?"

Ye Yiyi was a little surprised and disappointed.

There was nothing else in the box except this crossbow.

In other words, this treasure chest is just a trap.

"Something is better than nothing..."

At this point, he can only comfort himself.

He took the metal crossbow from the puppeteer's hand, and looked it up and down in the light of the waist lamp. His disappointed look suddenly changed a little.

"This crossbow is very exquisitely made, isn't it?"

The dark silver crossbow not only has a relief of flowing clouds, but is also inlaid with light green crystal gems as decoration.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the bowstring embedded in the crossbow body, which is as crystal clear as crystal.

Rather than a weapon, this is more like some kind of exquisite work of art, because Ye Yiyi searched for a long time but couldn't find a place to put the crossbow.

"No crossbow? Could this be some kind of magic item?"

He looked at the light curtain curiously.

Invisible Hunter

Requirements: Skill 14, Intelligence 24.

Attribute correction: Skill D, Intelligence B.

Durability: 87/100.

Item Description: A magic crossbow suitable for one-handed use.

It is also an ancient magical catalyst used by the magical spies of the Hidden Palace.

The tempered crystal bowstring can gather magic power.

This greatly enhances magic arrow type magic.

Due to the special needs of the magic agent.

It has been modified to make the magic arrows it shoots invisible.

It is said that it was during the wild times of Ron Moya.

Magic was born as a weapon to fight against the behemoths.

Therefore, the original magic also had the shape of an arrow.

Exclusive combat skill: lightless rain of arrows.

Skill consumption: 10.

Attribute correction: Intelligence A, Mystic C.

The special assassination skills of the Hidden Palace.

Can overload the bowstring with magic power.

By charging, a large number of magic arrows are continuously shot out.

"This is actually a magic catalyst?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yi was shocked.

"No wonder I said there was no room for crossbow arrows in this thing. Turns out it fires 'magic arrows'!"

As a result, Ye Yiyi's original disappointment disappeared, and his heart was filled with curiosity about the crossbow. He wanted to use it to kill two monsters immediately to try it out.

"Search this room first, then go up and try this magic crossbow."

Putting away the crossbow temporarily, he searched around the room and soon found a colorless potion in a small glass bottle in the cabinet of the desk.

"What is this? A potion?"

He picked up the glass bottle curiously, looked at the colorless viscous liquid inside, and looked at the light curtain curiously.

【Hidden Blade】

Item Description: Highly viscous colorless grass juice.

Apply to weapons to make them transparent.

Even weapons that have undergone a qualitative change in attributes can be effective.

The magical spies of the Hidden Palace are often associated with assassination and shadows.

Therefore, they often appear unarmed and harmless.

"Interesting, is this a higher-level version of the Transparent Weapon spell?"

After shaking the sticky liquid in the bottle, Ye Yiyi felt something strange.

Even [Transparent Weapons] cannot be effective against weapons that have undergone qualitative changes.

And this juice can do that, so isn't it stronger than magic?

"But then again, the transparent weapon has a very low intelligence requirement, only 12. Does this mean there's a more effective version of it?"

Ye Yiyi felt that there should be one, but he just hadn't got it yet.

"They are all good things!"

After putting away the three bottles of [Hidden Blade], there was nothing else of value in this hidden room.

As for the various books on the bookshelf, they were completely unable to be flipped through due to severe moisture.

In addition, since there was no light curtain, Ye Yiyi didn't bother to care too much.

Playing with the crossbow called the Invisible Hunter, he returned to the upper level along the stairs he came from.

After sending the dung beetle and the magic comet out to fish, Ye Yiyi couldn't wait to try out the effect of the crossbow.

The Invisible Hunter greatly enhances the magic of all magic arrow types and makes the fired magic arrows automatically invisible.

In other words, this catalyst is also a special catalyst for magic arrow magic.

Ye Yiyi currently possesses five types of magic arrows, namely [Magic Arrow], [Soul Magic Arrow], [Invisible Magic Arrow], [Tracking Magic Arrow], and the higher-level version of the magic arrow, [Magic Giant Arrow].

But unfortunately, Ye Yiyi only has three spells in his current spell slot: [Magic Arrow], [Tracking Magic Arrow], and [Invisible Magic Arrow].

Among them, Ye Yiyi used the Deconstruction of All Things to transform the [Magic Arrow] into the [Meteoric Armor-Breaking Cone], turning it into star magic.

Of course, the name of the Armor Piercing Awl was just given by him, and its essence is still a magic arrow, so it should be able to benefit from the bonus of the Invisible Hunter.

"Then let's try the Meteorite Armor-Breaking Cone first."
