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

"Isn't it here?"

He thought about it and gave instructions again.

"Look for the phantom wall."

But to his surprise, the moonlight of the new moon was covered by the suddenly appearing dark clouds.

"So, there are no more phantom walls here?"

He thought about it and gave instructions again.

"Searching for the Ultimate Star Spirit Crystal."

After all, he was on his way to look for crystals and was guided to this relic by the new moon.

This time the new moon's light was not obscured, but something unexpected happened to him again.

The moonlight followed the path it had taken to find the agate flower and once again fell on the bluestone bricks under his feet.

"what?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned.

So those two things are actually together?

But the problem is, there are no other phantom walls here, how can he get down?

"Use force to open a hole?"

He looked down at the stone bricks under his feet, then at his fist, wondering how much force he should use.

But he eventually gave up the idea.

There is obviously a building underground, and there may be other precious items. What if it collapses accidentally and the things inside are damaged?

After thinking for a moment, he gave orders to Xinyue again.

"Find me a way to get the agate flower."

Although the Crescent Moon Inquiry Technique is a basic version, it has all the necessary functions.

For example, the item description mentions that it "can guide lost people to find their way."

Sure enough, after receiving the order, Xinyue changed direction and formed a triangular arrow beside him.

"Outside?"

He turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow, then followed the instructions to leave the hall, and then came to a ruin that was littered with corpses but was extremely familiar to him.

"???"

He stared blankly at the arrow pointing to the depths of the dark staircase, and exchanged a blank look with the dung beetle.

"So...we found the way from the beginning?"

"Buzz?"

Amid the dung beetle's confused flapping of wings, Ye Yiyi pursed her lips and followed the instructions and stepped onto the stairs again.

The magic comet had long since disappeared due to the depletion of magic power, so Ye Yiyi had no choice but to take out the waist lamp and hang it up, then came to the small and damp room again.

"So where to go next?"

He looked down at the guide, only to find that it was pointing directly towards the bookshelf facing the door.

"In the back?"

He walked forward with a frown and knocked on the bookshelf with his hand.

"Dong dong..."

The echoing knocking sound immediately reached my ears.

Ye Yiyi pondered and took a step back, then suddenly threw a punch.

"boom!!"

The solid wooden bookshelf shattered with a loud noise, turning into debris that flew backwards.

Looking at the dark crystal tunnel behind the bookshelf, Ye Yiyi rolled his eyes helplessly.

“It’s really…”

But who could have thought of this?

These guys in the Hidden Palace are so fucking smart!

Following the winding crystal tunnel, Ye Yiyi soon reached the end and came to a cave filled with a large number of dark blue crystals.

Through the waist lamp, Ye Yiyi saw a tall crystal statue standing on the circular altar in the center of the cave.

And on the ground directly in front of the statue stands an ancient and mottled stone tablet.

"There's actually a holy monument. Awesome..."

Ye Yiyi walked over with a pout and reached out to light up the holy tablet.

As the spherical golden light curtain spread outward, the name of the holy monument here also appeared in Ye Yiyi's mind.

[The Forest of Ten Thousand Stone Crystals, the Hall of the Buried Beasts]

"Boneyard?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then looked around, but only saw a crystallized magician's skeleton at the bottom of the upward stairs in the corner.

Apart from this, there are no so-called bone traces.

"No, where are the bones?"

Finally he looked up at the statue's hands, which were stretched out, but now empty.

"Could it be that the bone is held in the hand of this statue?"

He thought for a moment, then walked to the stairs and looked down at the magician's skeleton below him.

"The Xingdou Palace's costumes are indeed..."

He leaned over, opened the magician's robe, and found a true spirit crystal and a fragrant agate flower in his arms.

"Huh? There's a scroll here?"

Looking to the side, a strange scroll covered with crystals of various colors was lying next to the corpse.

He picked up the scroll and a light curtain popped out.

[Secret Crystal Scroll]

Chapter 501: Will witches also be lonely?

[Secret Crystal Scroll]

Item Description: A crystallized scroll.

The results of a magician's research on crystals and souls.

After handing it over to the magic teacher.

Can learn crystal magic:

Known to magical researchers who are still seeking knowledge in forbidden areas.

The power of crystallization comes from the soul.

It is said that the power that can seal all power also comes from here.

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

"It seems I'm lucky. I can actually find a magic scroll here."

And looking at the description, this seems to be magic related to souls and crystals.

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi lowered his head and looked at the crystal skeleton beneath him.

So, these magicians who died here were magic researchers who specialized in studying crystals and souls?

But why did they die here?

Even die in this extremely hidden depths underground?

"Did he die from the invasion of demons?"

He bent down thoughtfully and carefully examined the other party's crystal skeleton.

However, there were no obvious dents or cracks on the skeleton. Although the outer covering had decayed, it looked intact overall, with no damage caused by external forces.

"So, the cause of death is unknown?"

He pursed his lips and took out the withered agate flower from the other's skeleton.

Even the heart had turned into crystals. Ye Yiyi absolutely didn't believe that the death was not caused by external forces.

"It seems necessary to go look for this so-called miracle."

He picked up the Supreme Star Spirit Crystal and took a look at it. After confirming that this was what he was looking for, he nodded and put it away.

"Search this place first to see if there are any other clues."

Ye Yiyi stood up thoughtfully and looked behind the corpse at the upward stairs covered with a large number of dark blue crystal clusters.

Judging from the guy's death posture, it seems that he fell down the stairs.

"Are there any other buildings up here?"

He walked up the stairs covered with crystal debris and soon reached the end.

The upward path was blocked by a thick bluestone wall, and there was no way forward.

"Buzz!!"

"I see, there's a mechanism next to it."

In response to the dung beetle's words, Ye Yiyi looked at the pull rod deeply embedded in the wall beside him, reached out and grabbed the rusty metal handle.

"Kakakaka!!"

The rusty metal mechanism slid down with a sharp friction sound, and the bluestone wall in front of it trembled slightly.

Under Ye Yiyi's puzzled gaze, the bluestone wall retracted into the wall to the right, and a beam of gloomy light shone down from the end of the open road.

He walked up the stairs and looked outside, and several crystal skeletons came into view.

"We're back to where we were just now. It turns out to be a shortcut..."

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips, turned around and walked down the way she came.

If I had known earlier, I would have just used my fists to hit it. Why did I have to take the long way around and create a so-called shortcut?

Returning to the underground hall where the holy monument and statue were located, Ye Yiyi walked along the wall and searched the place carefully.

This ossuary seems to have been the base for magicians in the past.

Ye Yiyi discovered many wooden tables and simple beds that had been crystallized due to the erosion of magic power, and even found several extremely conspicuous luxurious wooden boxes at the head of the bed.

The paper documents and books on the wooden table have been completely crystallized and cannot be read.

The wooden box looked intact on the outside, but it was also sealed by the crystals of the watch case and could not be opened.

But this is not a problem for Ye Yiyi.

"Fortunately, I learned my second exclusive magic before coming here."

Ye Yiyi raised the Invisible Hunter and pulled the trigger in front of him.

The light symbolizing the sublimation of magic bloomed, and the crystals in the hall immediately melted like snow.

"It looks much better this way."

He nodded with satisfaction and instructed the dung beetle to throw a little spiritual fire into the metal brazier beside him. Then he sat down on a simple wooden bench and looked through the scrolls and books in the cold white light of the fire.

But unfortunately, the light curtain did not jump out from most of the books, but the pen placed next to the dry glass bottle did.

“This is actually a pen?”

Ye Yiyi was slightly surprised.

The appearance of this pen was almost identical to the one he remembered, except that the material was more expensive.
