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

Ye Yiyi shook his head, "But you didn't understand what I meant."

"So what does Lady Michaela mean?"

The Blood Knight looked over.

"If the Folding Tower is repaired, it will not fall into the hands of any person or organization in this era."

Ye Yi glanced at everyone expressionlessly.

"Whether it's the Sons of Cyber, the Hall of Peace, or the Rodno Empire and the Kingdom Alliance."

Leo and Valer looked at each other, somewhat confused.

Fabio understood, but he closed his eyes, lowered his head and sighed deeply.

As one of the guardians of the White Feather Knights Hall passed down from generation to generation, he knew more secrets about the border than the other two messengers.

About the nations on land, about the secrets of ancient sages and kings.

"I'm going to do what I have to do. As for you, at least save your lives first and survive."

Ye Yiyi glanced at Fabio, then turned and walked towards the giant tree.

"Ms. Michaela!"

Leo tried to persuade him to stay, but was persuaded by Fabio.

"It's no use, Leo. You can't stop it."

"If we can't stop it... what about the folding tower?"

Seeing Ye Yiyi walking away, Leo glared angrily and growled, "Are you really going to hand over the Folding Tower to someone else?"

"It's better than falling into the hands of the insect people and the insect worshipers."

Fabio spread his hands and shook his head. "Besides, your level is too low. You don't understand the significance of Lady Michaela's existence."

"What do you mean, old man?"

Leo was furious, "You want to duel me?!"

"idiot!"

Master Kite Knight looked at his old friend's frustrated look and couldn't help but curl his lips in a disdainful sneer.

"So you don't understand."

"Curse Hunter Mikaela! He's not from this era!!"

On the other side, Ye Yiyi turned into clouds and mist, passed through the city, and came to the foot of the Immortal Tree.

He looked down at the bottomless pit with branches entwined at his feet, his gaze passing over the flying and wandering insects and into the depths.

"That's the base structure of the folding tower."

Chapter 570: Insects and Grass.

The base structure of the Folding Tower is located deep underground in the ancient city of Bona.

This was not beyond Ye Yiyi's expectations, because he had made such a guess from the beginning.

Except for those magnificent and immovable structures, most of the buildings in the countries on land are difficult to be properly preserved over thousands of years.

Therefore, Ye Yiyi now sees that most of the ancient ruins explored are either located in deep mountains and forests, or deep underground.

The same is true for the base member of the folding tower.

The passage that Fairport once used to secretly enter and exit the underground had long been exposed to the sunlight when the Skyworm fell.

What Ye Yiyi saw now was the immortal tree deeply rooted in the pit, and the swarms of immortal insects surrounding the trunk. These were the plans he had carefully planned for many years to help the Insect Worship Cult seize the Folding Tower.

Now, that has become an obstacle preventing Ye Yiyi from repairing the folding tower.

Ye Yiyi stood beside the deep pit, looked down at the corpses of the Skyworm scattered all over the pit, and shook his head slightly.

"So what's the point of making so many plans? If you don't have enough strength, people will die at any time, leaving behind a mess for others to clean up, which only adds to the trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a crystal man, then performed the technique of flying without support, opened two crystal wings of light behind him, and fell from the top of the deep pit.

The insects in the pit sensed the invasion of foreign enemies and began to riot.

In just a moment, a group of black insects that looked like wasps, but had two pairs of sharp sickle claws on their chest and abdomen, and sharp hooks on their slender tails, came towards them.

"It looks similar to those sickle locusts, except it has more limbs for attack, and it's also much larger... Could it be an evolved version of those sickle locusts?"

Ye Yiyi glanced at it, but didn't care at all.

Although these insects are immortal and have great endurance, and can withstand various attacks without dying, they are still insects after all, and are not a big deal.

"Buzz!"

He raised his hand and waved, summoning a ball of misty spiritual fog from the void to attach to his body. Then he waved his wings of light, pulling out a long spiritual fog comet tail like a meteor, and plunged into the insect swarm at high speed.

"Crack, click, click!"

The ferocious insect swarm scattered as soon as it rushed forward, and the body of the leader was smashed into pieces by Ye Yi Yi. The pus in its body had not yet splashed out before it turned into crystal crystals wrapped in the spiritual mist.

The surrounding insects either swung their claws to cut or raised their tails to stab.

The fierce attack landed on the crystal clear diamond body, but only a "ding-dang-dang" sound was heard, without even a white mark left.

As the misty spiritual fog swept past, these ferocious insects quickly turned into crystalline sculptures under the erosion of magic power, and fell from the sky along Ye Yiyi's trajectory.

Soul Echo +345.

Soul Echo +345.

……

Total soul echo +5175.

Current soul echoes: 258384.

"The benefits are quite good. These insects are indeed of higher quality than those sickle locusts before."

After smashing the swarm of insects in the air, Ye Yiyi glanced at the light curtain and nodded with satisfaction. Then he saw a dazzling golden light flashing in the deep pit from the corner of his eye.

"Thunder crackle!"

"not good!"

In a hurry, he dodged quickly, but the golden lightning seemed to have eyes. It turned sharply in the air and hit him directly.

【!!paralysis!!】

The golden electric arc surged, causing the crystal's body to freeze and temporarily depriving it of control.

"No way! My crystal body isn't completely insulated, but at least it has nothing to do with flesh and blood, right? How could it be paralyzed?"

His expression was confused, and his body flew to the side uncontrollably, hitting the dark blue tree trunk heavily.

“Sizzle!!”

Even though the tree trunk was as hard as iron, the bark was cut open by the stiff light wings behind Ye Yiyi, and some illusory white spiritual mist emerged.

The flying insects wandering nearby suddenly turned around and swarmed towards the torn part of the tree trunk like flies smelling manure, then wrestled and bit each other, swallowing up the thin spiritual mist.

"Boom boom boom!!"

Ye Yiyi bumped around all the way until he hit a narrow branch sticking out from the tree trunk, finally slowing down his momentum.

He looked up at the insects fighting high above, his crystal-clear cheeks twitching uncontrollably for a long time before he saw that the resistance bar symbolizing "paralysis" on the light screen in front of him was completely reduced.

"That's outrageous~"

He rubbed his face, sat up his upper body, looked down at the lightning that was gradually disappearing in his body, with a strange expression.

"This seems to be... divine lightning? It seems to be the same anti-aircraft catalyst that shot down the dung beetle earlier."

But the problem is that he is now underground. How could there be an air defense device in this deep pit?

Or was it that the air defense devices that were originally on the surface fell to the bottom of the pit after the pit collapsed?

"What kind of 'fall-resistant king' is it? It's not broken even from such a high altitude?"

He looked speechless and looked down from the edge of the branch, then saw golden light shining at the bottom of the dark pit.

"Grass!"

He cried out in surprise and jerked his head back.

The golden lightning shot into the air, but it was far away from where he was.

"You didn't hit me?"

He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, and saw a ball of dark yellow fog bursting out of the air, followed by large pieces of broken insect limbs falling down.

One of the insect limbs, which was suspected to be a forelimb, happened to fall on the branch where he was.

"This length...are you serious?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the limb that was almost as long as his height with confusion, and looked up again with a blank expression.

With such big front legs, could there be other heavenly insects in this place?

But there was nothing above his head, even the swarms of insects that he had just seen gathered together had disappeared.

Looking at the light curtain again, the number of soul echoes did not increase at all.

This means that the owner of the amputated limb was not killed by him.

But what about the bugs?

It’s impossible that they can all be destroyed by one golden thunder, right?

But shouldn't these bugs be considered "friendly forces"? Why are they being struck by lightning?

He looked down again and saw a lot of insects still wandering around the edge of the tree trunk, which proved that his idea was correct.

But why are there other bugs attacked by air defense facilities besides myself who are not friendly forces?

"Something's wrong..."

He frowned, thinking back to what he had seen before, and then reacted.

"When I hit the tree just now, did something come out of the bark?"

He looked around, then looked at the bluish-black trunk at the end of the branch.

"Those insects gathered together earlier, seemingly to devour something that was overflowing from the tree...something that flowed out of the Undying Tree."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and walked to the tree trunk. He reached out and gently stroked the rough trunk that was as hard as iron, then curled up his fingers and knocked it.

“Ding~ding~”

"It sounds pretty hard."

He nodded thoughtfully, drew out the Youjue Shave Life Sword and chopped it at the tree trunk.

"clang!"

Black and red sparks flew! The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out!

The tree trunk cracked, and some white spiritual mist emanated from it, turning the scattered black and red sparks into a scorching wave of fire.

"So fierce?"

Ye Yiyi's crystal face was illuminated by the firelight.

No, what's flowing in this tree is oil?

Why does my flame seem to be burning?

He looked back in surprise and found that there was still some white spiritual mist floating in the air. He quickly put away his weapon, and his body suddenly turned into a ball of cloud and rushed forward, wrapping up the spiritual mist that had not yet dissipated.

After a while, he regained his human form, and a thumb-sized spiritual white crystal appeared in his hand.

He looked down, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This thing... the difficulty of condensing into crystal is actually on the same level as the essence of a star?"

Having said that, the white spiritual mist is not a concept, but something that actually exists.

"So what exactly is this thing?"

He lowered his eyes to look at the light curtain.
