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

The proficiency of the combat skill [Dash and Stab] (6/30) has been improved!

Glancing at the simplified light curtain, Ye Yiyi drew out his spear and let out a long breath.

The Eagle-Wing Knight, whose lower abdomen was stabbed, gradually lost his ability to move as the Nephila spider died suddenly, and finally fell to the ground.

"Lord Changhong Guanri, this is the sixth knight soul to fall under your spear. Do you have any comments you would like to make?"

The True Lord with the Changhong Guanri in his hand said nothing and remained silent.

"The silent veteran is so reliable!"

Seeing that Chang Qiang didn't answer, Ye Yiyi could only exclaim in admiration.

Then he put the gun behind his back and squatted down to touch the corpse.

About two hours after jumping off the cliff, Ye Yiyi had already entered the depths of the woods.

Although the broken spire has not been found yet, there are still other gains.

For example, the eagle-winged knights who roam the woods and are controlled by the spider.

Including the first one, Ye Yiyi has eliminated 6 in a row.

Along the way, in addition to the harvest of 660 soul echoes, he also harvested 6 silver iron ores, 6 garbage residues, 8 fairy mints, 35 tear stones, and a source of curse.

[Source of the Curse (1)]

Item Description: After the great war, after a long time, the faint remnants of the cursed power finally condensed into beads.

After use, you can obtain a small amount of soul echo.

The echo of the soul is the residue left after the death of life. Only with the help of the Saint can the residue become the power of the Seeker of Name.

Ye Yiyi was very familiar with the Source of the Curse and used it frequently in the game.

There are many types of this thing, ranging from low to high scores. For example, the [Source of Curse (1)] in Ye Yiyi's hand can only obtain 50 soul echoes after use.

The prices range from 1 to 5.

The specific usage is that when you are upgrading or buying things, you find that the soul echo on your body is two or three hundred short, and you are too lazy to teleport out to find soldiers to swipe, so you take this thing out of your backpack and squeeze it to make up the difference.

After looting all the Eagle-Wing Knights on the ground, Ye Yiyi took out the Blue Demon Claw and took a sip to replenish the blue bar. Then he casually threw down a rainbow stone and continued to move forward.

Rainbow stones are very conspicuous road signs. To prevent getting lost, Ye Yiyi leaves one wherever he walks.

Anyway, there are tear stones everywhere in the forest, and you can pick them up as you walk, so much so that Ye Yiyi couldn't help but start to wonder: Could this basin be the place where the ancient kings released the [Holy Sun]?

After walking another energy bar, Ye Yiyi did not meet the Eagle-Wing Knight on the way. He took a short rest, ate a fairy mint, and continued on his journey.

At this time, he felt that the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot, but he didn't care too much.

The roads in the forest are easier to walk on than the rugged mountain roads. The treetops block the sunlight all year round, so there are no weeds to get in the way.

But the ground covered with dead and fallen leaves often hides unexpected "surprises".

"Paji"

Accompanied by the sound of juice bursting, Ye Yiyi suppressed her nausea, lifted her foot, and looked under her feet.

A spider that was neither big nor small, but colorful and obviously poisonous was stepped on by him and turned into a paste.

"Fuck! That's disgusting!"

Ye Yiyi frowned and wiped the tree trunk with her feet to wipe off the bursting juice.

He didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, he just thought it was disgusting.

When he saw the two palm-sized spiders before, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, he had already shot them to death.

He felt a little overwhelmed after stepping on a spider to death with his bare feet.

Being stabbed to death with a weapon and being trampled to death are two completely different things!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but caress Changhong Guanri Zhenjun who had pierced through six new wives.

"Brother, you've worked so hard!"

The further they walked, the uglier Ye Yiyi's expression became.

Because he suddenly realized that the "surprise" just now was not accidental.

I don't know when it started, but the number of insects around began to increase.

Needless to say, he knew many poisonous insects such as spiders, centipedes, and scorpions, but there were also many that he didn't recognize, and their number was huge.

Every few dozen steps Ye Yiyi would step on an unknown little cutie.

In the end, he had become so relaxed that he was too lazy to find a tree to wipe his feet.

It’s useless to wipe it anyway, so you might as well feel it with your heart.

Well, don’t tell me.

Listening to the sound of bugs exploding underfoot is quite relaxing.

Before he knew it, Ye Yiyi developed a strange habit.

"Swish..."

After walking like this for about 10 minutes, a strange rustling sound suddenly came into Ye Yiyi's ears.

Unlike the sound made by insects crawling over dead leaves, it was more like the sound made by dead and rotten leaves being crushed by a heavy object.

Ye Yiyi became alert, found a nearby tree trunk to hide behind, and then quietly looked towards the place where the sound came from.

Deep between the tree trunks, a giant creature, half a person's height, more than ten meters long, and completely black and red, gradually appeared.

"Holy crap! Giant millipede."

Ye Yiyi was surprised and obviously recognized the giant insect.

At this moment, the giant millipede was slowly wriggling its extremely long body, and its countless limbs were moving in an orderly manner, circling around a dilapidated black building.

"Wait, is this the spire?"

After observing carefully again, Ye Yiyi was finally able to confirm it.

The building surrounded by giant millipedes not far away is the broken spire seen on the top of the mountain.

After searching for such a long time, they are finally approaching their destination, but Ye Yiyi just can't be happy.

"I knew it wasn't that simple."

Ye Yiyi frowned and thought.

The giant millipede in front of us is undoubtedly an enemy, and a more difficult one at that.

In Ye Yiyi's impression, giant millipedes are usually raised by magicians to guard the magician's tower.

Wait a minute!

Ye Yiyi's expression was shocked, and he suddenly reacted.

So, the Broken Spire this millipede is guarding is actually a magician's tower?!

During the normal course of the game, players will encounter the first giant millipede guarding the Nameless Magician's Tower outside the capital of the Dukedom of Rit.

After defeating the giant millipede and entering the magician's tower, you will get a book on "Concentration Cultivation" and the corresponding basic magic.

For players who are not magicians, this is the first time they come into contact with magic in the game.

And now, an ownerless magician's tower suddenly appeared in front of Ye Yiyi.

So it goes without saying what to do.

Ye Yiyi rubbed his hands together, his face full of eagerness to try.

Although the millipede in front of me has a lot of health, high physical resistance, and can even use magic, how does this conflict with my plan to search the magician's tower and learn magic?

Cricket Giant Magic Millipede...

Ye Yiyi sat down cross-legged beside the tree trunk, took out the universal cauldron and started making props.

A silver cast iron ore fell into his hand, and with a flash of light, the ore disappeared, and ten silver-bladed thin-bladed throwing knives appeared in his hand.

【Silver Iron Throwing Knife】

Production requirements: Metal ore × 1 (usable materials: Silver iron ore × 5)

Attribute correction: Strength B, Skill A, Mystic C

Item Description: The finished product obtained by processing metal ore, one of the items that can be crafted.

A light and sharp throwing knife that can be used to throw at the enemy to cause damage.

A throwing knife made of silver cast iron ore, which can penetrate defenses, penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and accumulate bleeding volume.

Ten throwing knives might not be enough, so Ye Yiyi simply made twenty more.

A total of thirty throwing knives that can cause "bleeding" damage are enough to give this giant magic millipede a hard time!

Ye Yiyi stepped on a passing centipede to death, then walked out of the tree trunk and into the sight of the giant millipede.

"Russing..."

Sensing that an invader had entered the territory, the giant millipede, half a man's height, suddenly stopped, raised two long tentacles from its head, and made a series of chilling and strange noises.

The battle seems to be imminent.

Chapter 9 Encountering a giant millipede and trying my best to defeat it

As Ye Yiyi approached, the giant millipede's upper body covered with a black and red shell suddenly stood up, and the countless deep red insect limbs in its mouth danced wildly, making a series of chilling noises.

Even though Ye Yiyi was used to stepping on bugs, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw this scene, and he took half a step back.

This fucking bug is so fucking disgusting!

Compared to those cute little ones that burst with just one kick, this thing is a fucking devil!

"Why do I have to fight this thing?"

Ye Yiyi muttered to herself, feeling a little regretful.

But in order to learn cool and handsome magic in advance, he still gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

“Rustle!!”

The giant millipede made sharper noises and its upper body swayed more vigorously.

This is a warning to intruders!

If you get any closer, it will attack!

Ye Yiyi paused for a moment and looked up at the dilapidated spire behind the giant millipede.

The spire in front of us appeared to be in a shaky and half-ruined state.

Half of the gate had collapsed, and the entrance was covered with moss-covered bricks.

The tower walls have collapsed beyond recognition, with rubble everywhere, and there is no trace of its former appearance.

However, Ye Yiyi was sharp-eyed and saw the intact stairs inside through the broken outer wall.

The stairs extend all the way to the top floor, which is the core part of the Magician's Tower. The magic that Ye Yiyi wants to learn should be there.

"This tower has been collapsed for decades, and the magician himself is nowhere to be found. It's really sad that this bug is still guarding here."

Ye Yiyi sighed and looked away, then turned to look at the giant millipede in front of him that issued a warning.

"Brother Malu, could you please not be so hostile? I'm just going in to take a look, and I promise I won't take anything!"

Such a diligent and conscientious insect reminded Ye Yiyi of the big yellow dog that guarded the house in his hometown.

Unless it was necessary, he really didn't want to kill such a loyal thing.

Even though it is black and shiny, and has thousands of legs, it is still a bug.

"Russing..."

The giant millipede made a strange noise, and its limbs, which were already twisting dizzyingly, became even more chaotic.

Suddenly, it raised its head towards the sky and spewed out large clouds of green smoke from the mouths of the dancing demons.

The green smoke gathered together in the air, gradually condensed, and finally turned into long, sharp green thorns.
