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

"Disaster and curse..."

Ye Yiyi repeated the last sentence softly, his eyes fixed on the skeleton in front of the stairs.

"In other words, these magicians died because of this?"

"But looking at the description, this so-called 'miracle' doesn't seem to have anything to do with the descendants of the superior..."

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In addition, the special clouds mentioned in the description also concerned him.

Can it make the corroded life form extremely large?

Thinking of the giant crystal turtle he had encountered before, Ye Yiyi felt that it was the so-called "giant beast magic".

Thinking of this, he raised his head again and looked at the empty hands of the statue in front of him.

"It's clearly called the Hall of the Buried Bones of the Mountain-Trampling Giant Beast, but there are no bones to be found..."

He thought about releasing the Crescent Moon Inquiry Technique and gave it an order.

But unfortunately, thick dark clouds obscured the moon.

Xinyue did not find the remains of the giant beast.

"Isn't he here?... Looks like we need to check out other ruins first to confirm whether that peculiar cloud is actually caused by the giant beast's bones."

Having made up his mind, Ye Yiyi prepared to set out to explore overnight.

But before that, he went back to the Temple of Stopping War, found the old blacksmith, and asked him to take a look at the newly acquired Invisible Hunter.

But unfortunately, according to the old blacksmith's judgment, the Invisible Hunter cannot be strengthened with gems.

Although it looks like a crossbow, its essence is still a magic catalyst, so it can only be strengthened by the true spirit and cannot be opened.

In addition, the old blacksmith does not have the equipment to strengthen the true spirit.

This requires Ye Yiyi to go to Roenmoya, continue to look for Wang Jiang's workshop, and get a special item called "True Spirit Small Altar".

Ye Yiyi naturally knew this because the process was the same in the game.

He reluctantly said goodbye to the old blacksmith and returned to the Forest of Ten Thousand Stone Crystals.

"Let's go on."

He summoned Virgil, carried the dung beetle on his shoulder and headed towards another ruin in the northeast.

Although it was late at night, the visibility in the forest was not low.

"It turns out that the crystals here can glow at night."

Looking at the crystal clusters and crystal columns that emitted faint fluorescence, as well as the strange fireflies circling around them, Ye Yiyi raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"Are there fireflies here too? Why can't I see any during the day?"

As he rode past a crystal column, he suddenly reached out and caught a dark blue firefly in his hand.

The fireflies were frightened and flew away.

The dung beetle looked up and suddenly felt a little excited.

After getting Ye Yiyi's permission, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky. With the spiritual fire on its head, it transformed into an oversized "firefly" and rushed into the forest.

"I feel like dung beetles are becoming more and more lively."

Ye Yiyi looked at the dung beetle leaving a burning cold white flame in the air, and at this moment was happily chasing the fleeing swarm of fireflies, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

After all, it is just a simple dung beetle, what troubles can it have?

Looking down at the firefly in his hand, whose light had gone out and was now motionless, Ye Yiyi was slightly startled.

That’s not right. He didn’t use much effort, so how could the firefly die?

“There’s no light curtain…”

He pursed his lips, shook his head, and threw the silent firefly away.

But something unexpected happened suddenly.

The firefly that escaped from Ye Yiyi's clutches suddenly spread its thin wings, and the blue light on its abdomen lit up again, and it flew away at high speed into the distance.

"?"

Ye Yiyi was a little confused.

Even fireflies pretend to be dead these days?

He pulled out the Invisible Hunter's front finger and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Crack!"

The bowstring was activated, and a white puppet hand quickly condensed into shape and flew forward, grabbing the escaping firefly in its palm, and then squeezing it hard.

"Humph! You want to escape? Can you escape from my Five Finger Mountain?"

Ye Yiyi grinned and took the dead firefly, and then saw light jumping out.

【Magic Firefly】

Item Description: A firefly with crystallized light-emitting organs.

One of the materials used to craft props.

Can be found in Crystalline Infestations.

Fireflies, crystallized by the erosion of magic, are extremely close to magic.

Therefore, it can be found in places where fireflies gather in large numbers.

Find strange items imbued with magical powers.

"A place where a large number of people gather?"

Ye Yiyi thought about it and called back the dung beetle that was having a little too much fun.

If it continues to chase, all the fireflies nearby will run away.

"So what constitutes a large gathering?"

He pondered and pulled the trigger to release [Silent] and [Silent], hiding the life breath of himself, the insect, and the horse.

Without the troublemakers, the panicked swarm of fireflies gradually calmed down.

Ye Yiyi watched them circling around the crystal columns and crystal clusters, flying through the deep purple and blue clouds, like shining meteors flying around a stellar megastructure.

This scene is indeed beautiful, but beauty cannot be eaten.

Rather than appreciating the beautiful scenery, Ye Yiyi hopes to satisfy his desire to collect.

But judging by the density of the fireflies in front of our eyes, it is difficult to call it "large".

But soon, he found a place in the forest where a large number of fireflies gathered.

It was under a large tree that was completely crystallized, with the crystals inside emitting a faint purple fluorescence.

Hundreds of fireflies of various colors are now circling and dancing around a strange flower that emits dazzling blue light.

The light they emitted when combined together illuminated the area like daylight.

"That should be it."

Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to ride forward, he heard Virgil snort, turn his head to look to the side, and his heavy hooves rubbed against the ground.

"Huh? Are there guests?"

Ye Yiyi narrowed her eyes, turned her head and looked to the side following Virgil's gaze, but saw nothing.

But Virgil's feelings were not false, and Ye Yiyi could still clearly feel its timidity and fear.

Although Virgil is no longer the same after various enhancements, he has never experienced a life-and-death battle. He only has strength and is still afraid of the breath of other powerful beasts.

It would be the same even if it could kick the beasts to death with one kick.

"That's not okay."

Ye Yiyi thought, "After all, it's my horse. How can I carry such a small load?"

While waiting silently, Ye Yiyi suddenly heard the crackling sound of electric arcs and the swaying and rubbing sound of the crystal tree canopy.

Deep in the dark and mysterious forest, some huge creature is slowly approaching.

Virgil under him trembled even more violently. Ye Yiyi remained silent, and just looked in the direction where the electric arc sound came from with the fearless dung beetle.

Soon, white flashes of dancing electric arcs appeared in the gaps between the treetops.

The deep breathing of the giant beast was like a huge bellows blowing, blowing a bloody wind.

"coming."

Ye Yiyi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Crack!"

The sound of crystal clusters being crushed was heard, and a ferocious tiger wrapped in thick crystal armor, with wing-like diamond-shaped crystals floating beside it, its body wrapped in white arcs of electricity, and a pair of big eyes as bright and dazzling as car lights finally emerged from the forest.

"This is……"

Ye Yiyi was suddenly stunned.

Although the other person's appearance had changed greatly, Ye Yiyi still recognized this old acquaintance.

"...Southland Giant Tiger?"

Chapter 503 [Thunder and lightning] and magic lightning.

When Ye Yiyi left the Fairy Mountains and headed towards the Principality of Rit, he encountered a ferocious giant tiger suffering from a bloodthirsty disease on the way.

In order to defeat the giant tiger at that time, he spent a lot of effort. In the end, he relied on a sneak attack to blind it, and only killed it after slowly draining its health bar.

When he met this ferocious tiger again after several months, Ye Yiyi was no longer the same person he used to be. He was no longer the weakling who could only win by sneak attacks.

Therefore, even though the giant tiger in front of him changed its appearance drastically, with arcs of lightning and thunder as mighty as the power of heaven and a pair of ferocious tiger eyes as bright as the sun, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt a bit of curiosity from the bottom of his heart.

"What on earth did it eat to grow into what it is now? It can even control lightning and thunder, completely unlike an ordinary beast?"

"If I kill it, will I get some strengthening materials for Virgil or the dung beetle, just like I did with the Lotus Curse Frog?"

As soon as this idea came into being, it became unstoppable like a flame fanned by wind.

The giant tiger from the Southland that I encountered was literally covered in blood and had the ability to cause people to enter an abnormal state of "bleeding".

Its power comes from the divine contamination of sacred blood.

Then, is it because of similar reasons that this giant tiger in front of us has mastered the power of thunder and lightning?

Ye Yiyi moved his eyes and looked at the crystal wings floating on both sides of the giant tiger.

It is a bit inaccurate to call it wings, because it is composed of seven or eight suspended diamond-shaped crystals arranged in sequence, and from the outside it looks like a strange existence called wings.

"This shape looks strangely familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere..."

Ye Yiyi muttered to himself and searched in his mind.

The giant tiger did not notice Ye Yiyi's existence. It strode over with its head held high. Its eyes, emitting dazzling light like car lights, swept around and then landed on the flower under the crystal tree.

"Roar……"

The giant tiger lowered its head and growled, its eyes shining brightly, just like a Tesla electric tower, shooting out countless dazzling arcs of electricity out of thin air.

The fireflies were pierced by the electric arc one after another, and the charred insect corpses fell from the sky to the ground like raindrops.

The fireflies that luckily survived were frightened and fled in all directions, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Seeing the troublesome little bug disappear, the giant tiger took a step forward, and the light in its eyes made the crystal flowers even more eye-catching and dazzling.

"Which flower is it targeting?"

Seeing this, Ye Yiyi's face suddenly turned dark.

I'm so sorry, I found that flower first.

But presenting evidence and reasoning with Tiger to prove that whoever discovered it first owns it is not a feasible approach.

The world of beasts is simpler and purer, and whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.

So Ye Yiyi simply stopped hiding it, and immediately removed the concealment effect, and then fell from Virgil who was sent back to the alien space.
