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

"Sa!"

The giant crystalline pillar stirred up a strong wind and flew into the starry night sky, and soon disappeared from Ye Yiyi's sight.

After a long time, the ground trembled slightly, and then the sound of a huge object falling to the ground was heard in the air.

"It flew for at least several kilometers, right?"

Each leaf has different colors.

Although it can improve the efficiency of using strength, this degree is too outrageous.

Moreover, he always felt that adding a growth curve to the game was too far away from reality.

There is a soft cap on attribute upgrades in the game. In other words, after reaching a certain level, the gains from further upgrades will decrease until the hard cap is reached.

At this point, the gain increase will be minimal if you go further, it's purely for the sake of characteristics.

But in reality, it seems to be the other way around.

The improvement in intelligence is not very obvious, but the strength is real.

Not only did Ye Yiyi not feel the soft cap, on the contrary, he felt that after his strength rose to 70, the gains gained at each new level were far greater than the previous level.

This means that the improvement in strength from 70 to 90 far exceeds the improvement in strength from 10 to 70.

"If I reach 100 like this, won't I become Superman?"

Now that I have a bio-force field, I can also shoot "laser beams" from my eyes... although I have to switch accounts.

As for Man of Steel, Infinite Life can definitely be considered its superior replacement.

After all, Ye Yiyi has never truly broken through his defense since he traveled through time. Even the long sword that appeared directly in his body due to spatial factors could not hurt him.

Batman asked Superman if he could bleed, and Ye Yiyi could pat his chest and say... Wait, the divinity of the Lord of Holy Blood and the Holy Blood seemed to be able to make him spray blood out of his pores?

Oh, that's okay.

Now all that's left is a freezing breath.

"Oh, by the way, I haven't tried physical flight yet."

His eyes suddenly lit up.

He now has a divine force field, and maybe he can use it to fly.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. He lowered his head and swept across the empty pit, letting the dung beetle hold on to his clothes. Then he bent down slightly to accumulate strength.

In his perception, the divine power field evenly covered every part of his body.

Then he suddenly leaped up and turned into a black shadow and soared into the sky.

Looking at the forest below his feet getting farther and farther away from him, Ye Yiyi looked up. The brilliant galaxy hung high in the sky, and the azure moon cast its bright moonlight.

The misty clouds were close at hand, but were surpassed by him in an instant.

The cold wind whistled in my ears, making the dung beetles scream and shout in the cosmic light, saying it was so exciting!

But Ye Yiyi had a strange expression on his face and was counting silently in his heart.

Soon, the countdown ended and the upward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

The adjacent gravity recaptured it, but the divine force field had no reaction, allowing it to be pulled downward by gravity.

"Okay, this force field only seems to work when I exert force. It can't affect the outside world out of thin air, nor does it respond to gravity."

"It seems that relying solely on the force field, I can't fly physically."

Ye Yiyi sighed silently, then switched to the Mage, transformed himself into a ball of colorless cloud, and flew towards the distance in a chosen direction.

He found nothing in the last ossuary, not even the holy tablet. It was time for him to end his forest journey and return to Platinum Crystal Town.

After flying in the air for nearly three hours and crossing most of the forest at high speed, Ye Yiyi finally saw the town with lights on on the ground.

"Wait a minute? Why is the fire so bright?"

He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he quickly widened his eyes and looked over carefully.

"Fuck! The town's on fire!"

Chapter 540 Platinum Crystal Town in Flames.

"Why is the town burning?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the flames that covered the entire town from afar, feeling puzzled.

The fire was so bright that even the brilliance of the stars and the eternal moon in the sky was dimmed. It was like seeing a bright red flower blooming in the dark abyss, beautiful but strange.

However, Platinum Crystal Town is an important border town of the Fire Sparrow Flower Kingdom and a vital bridgehead leading to the Ten Thousand Stone Crystal Forest. The town is not only guarded by the Fire Crown Knights, but also has a bishop-level figure from the Fire Sparrow Monastery in charge.

Moreover, the monks of the Fire Sparrow Order mastered the sacred hymns of fire and were all experts in playing with fire. How could they possibly allow the town to be engulfed in flames?

"Was the fire caused by accident, or was there an external enemy?"

With doubts in his mind, he quickened his speed and soon arrived above the town. He then transformed himself into a human form, performed the Kongyou Wuyi technique, and spread his wings of light to float in the air.

“It stinks…”

He looked grim, and just as he turned back into human form, he felt a burnt and foul smell rushing straight to the top of his head, making him dizzy.

What else could this smell be? It's naturally the stench of flesh and blood being burnt by flames!

He glanced at the streets and houses below him that were engulfed in flames. Nowhere within his sight was intact; all were ruins engulfed in flames.

The streets illuminated by the flames were littered with charred corpses and debris.

Among them were mercenaries, civilians, merchants, slaves, as well as kingdom soldiers and Knights of the Fire Crown.

"This is not a simple fire..."

His eyes fell on a Fire Crown Knight who was cut in half at the waist, and his eyes were deep and gloomy.

The same was true for the other corpses, all of which were killed directly by cruel means, and very few of them were left with their bodies intact.

If such a cruel method was only used to kill the enemy, Ye Yiyi might not say anything more.

After all, the gap was too big, so this became inevitable, just like when he fought the wild wolf before, he didn't expect that the opponent would explode into a pool of blood mist.

But attacking innocent civilians, the elderly, the weak, women and children, and even slaves, how is this behavior different from massacre?

He looked somewhere with a sullen face, and the wings of light behind him fluttered, carrying him away into the distance.

Along the way, he released cosmic auras to scan for possible survivors.

But until he landed in front of the Crystal Rock Tavern, he didn't find a single living person.

And not only the people, even the livestock here were slaughtered cleanly.

"Sweeping the ground three feet deep, leaving no one alive... This is definitely not something an ordinary gangster would do."

Ye Yiyi glanced at the many horse carcasses in front of the tavern and found the one that Harwell had ridden.

In other words, the old magician didn't have time to leave when the unknown force started the massacre in the town.

He looked up at the blazing tavern in front of him, walked up the stairs with a cold expression, and stepped into the ruins that had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

He couldn't sense any residual magic in the air. In other words, Halville might not have fought with the attacker.

There are only two possibilities. One is that the other party had already left before the other party attacked, or even left the town, and did not meet the attacker.

But the horse was still there, and there was also Eighty-Eight beside him, so this possibility was not high.

Another possibility is that the old magician had no time to fight back and was killed by the attacker.

But even though the old guy has some personality issues, he is still a magic master who has traveled far and wide and experienced life and death. It's not like he would just be dead without any movement, right?

So he planned to go to Halwell's room to see if he could find any traces.

If he really found the bodies of the other party and Bashiba, he would have to re-evaluate the attacker's origins.

Stepping into the dilapidated, smoke-filled Crystal Rock Tavern, the dung beetle also ignited its spiritual fire all over its body and poked its head out to look around.

"This attack seems to have come very suddenly..."

He looked around, his eyes sweeping across the messy hall and the many mercenaries and guests who had died tragically.

These people did not die in the fire, but were beheaded, the same way as the many dead people on the streets outside.

Ye Yiyi discovered traces of fighting, indicating that some mercenaries had tried to resist.

But the gap was too big, and the mercenaries present had no power to fight back. They were cut in half by the sword in just one encounter, like wind blowing through a wheat field.

Therefore, the causes of their deaths were mostly the same.

Except for a few guests who were still seated and had their heads chopped off, most of the other mercenaries were beheaded from the waist.

Ye Yiyi could imagine that scene.

The attacker came in from outside, and the mercenaries who were close to him immediately became suspicious and stood up to negotiate with him.

After the negotiations failed, the mercenary tried to resist, but was chopped to the ground.

The attacker then drew his sword and slashed across, killing everyone in the hall with one blow.

The other mercenaries reacted and stood up, so they were cut in half.

The guests who were not mercenaries did not react and were still sitting in their seats, so they were beheaded.

The whole process may take less than a minute.

The attacker acted swiftly and with extraordinary methods. He was definitely not an ordinary strong man.

Naturally, Ye Yiyi thought of the Curse Master.

Because this method would be too outrageous if it was a normal attack, so it should be the effect of some kind of combat skill.

If we were to say which force on the border has the strongest combat skills, it would be the Curse Master.

"So, that group of people actually came for me?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head silently again, thinking that it was unlikely.

Unless it was a whole team of Kingchoosers, led by a king, he really couldn't imagine that there was any Curse Master who would have the courage to confront him head-on.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Yiyi is the "God Killer" who once killed a king.

If that's the case, then the only person in this tavern worthy of the Curse Master's attack is Halville, whom he had come into contact with before, right?

"But how did they know I was here? Could it be that insect man..."

He turned his head to the northeast, found the outline of the insect man who was still on the move, and shook his head again in his heart.

That guy has been on the road all this time without stopping. Now he is almost at the border of the Iron Kite Knight Kingdom. Logically, he doesn't have the time.

Besides, how did it know that Halville lived here?

Although their whereabouts were not hidden, not everyone could know them.

"Or is there another reason?"

"Wow~"

The sound of the ceiling collapsing reached his ears. Ye Yiyi collected his thoughts for a moment and walked towards the stairs.

On the way, he suddenly stopped and looked at a fat, charred corpse that was sizzling and smoking in the flames.

Even though the body was beyond recognition, Ye Yiyi still recognized it.

"Doss..."

The fat businessman who had offered the 88-month slave contract, said he would improve the living environment of slaves, make reforms, and vowed to become bigger and stronger.

After parting a few days ago, we met again. Who would have thought that it would be in the midst of a raging fire? What about under such circumstances?

Ye Yiyi's expression moved, then she pursed her lips, turned around and walked up the ruined stairs.

Go to the third floor filled with thick black smoke and find Halville's room.

The wooden door had already shattered into pieces, as if it had been smashed violently.

Ye Yiyi stepped in, looked around, but suddenly froze.

There was no trace of the old magician in the room. There were two bodies lying on the bed, a man and a woman. They were two strangers that Ye Yiyi did not recognize at all.

"Not here? Where's the old man?"

He frowned and searched around the room, but he found nothing of value except a few bags of coins.
