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

"boom!!"

The clay pot shattered on the surface of the light wall, followed by a violent explosion and raging flames, but it had no effect on the insects on the other side of the wall.

The reason why a "natural barrier" is a natural barrier is that it cannot be crossed.

Whether it is for those on the other side of the wall or for those on this side of the wall.

Even the King Choosing Knight was unable to attack across the chasm, and could only use the king's magic of the same time and space type to create a golden light spear to bind Ye Yiyi in place.

So man, what are you trying to do by throwing a fire pot at the wall?

As if seeing that the tossing pot attack had no effect, he reached out and touched behind him again, but touched nothing. Subconsciously, he turned his head to look at his butt, scratched his head in confusion, and looked at Ye Yiyi with an innocent look.

Baoxia, Yudinana, and Ye Yiyi stared at the "knight" at the same time, and the three of them were silent, not saying a word.

"Your Highness..."

In the end, Yudena couldn't help but whisper in his ear.

"...Is that guy one of your knights? Was he trying to escape just now?"

"..."

Ye Yiyi lowered his eyes and remained silent. He suddenly didn't know what to say. He just put his hand on his forehead and sighed silently.

Bao Xia opened the vertical eye on his forehead slightly, looked up and down at the strange man, and murmured.

"Nameless Masked Man…Soul Five?"

what does that mean?

Soul Five is the other party's name?

But why is he called the nameless hooded man?

Baoxia was puzzled, but this was the name given by the eye on his forehead.

He was not unfamiliar with the fact that the other party existed in the form of a spirit. The spirit-summoning magic of the Zhige Hall could summon similar beings.

However, the style of the other party's clothing was extremely unfamiliar, and different armor parts were mixed together, making it impossible to determine its exact origin.

In addition to the dirty turban on his head and the small sickle with purple light held in his hands.

When these images are put together, it feels like a scavenger who has put on armor by scraping it from a corpse somewhere?

"Don't pay attention to him, just pretend he doesn't exist."

Ye Yiyi withdrew his gaze, ignored the little goblin's curious eyes, and was unwilling to explain further.

Ye Yiyi was not surprised at all that the guy ran away.

If it dares to attack such a large number of insects by just rubbing a small sickle with resin, it must be a god, not the incarnation of the Soul Five.

Just look at the disabled character performance of the Undead. No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't beat four people with two fists. Two high-level World-Destroying Insects can kill people like cutting vegetables.

He no longer paid attention to Hun Wu and Bao Xia who were looking at each other in confusion, but turned his head to stare at the swarm of insects behind the natural wall and asked casually.

"Yudnana, haven't these bugs appeared before?"

The "before" he asked about was referring to the ten minutes or so he was away.

"They did appear, but only a few unlucky ones who were burned to death by the flames of fraternity on the ground after entering. There were nowhere near as many as there are now... Also, after you disappeared, Master Qianyu's puppets disappeared as well."

"Puppet..."

Ye Yiyi narrowed her eyes and shook her head.

"That Demon Zero Babu? Is it VI Qi Zero? The Dream Doll? For now, don't worry about it. It helped us in a crisis before, so it shouldn't be an enemy. We may run into it again later."

"Ok."

Yudenna nodded absentmindedly, then looked at the bugs behind the wall of light.

"But what about those bugs? Could it be because His Highness has returned?"

"I'm not sure, but it's worth exploring..."

Ye Yiyi turned the light gun and a smile appeared on his face.

Because the presence of these insects was so low, he didn't even think of asking Yuechen about their origins while he was roaming the sea.

But it's not a big problem. Bugs of this magnitude only look intimidating, but in fact, there is not even a single high-level world-destroying bug.

Even if they face the combination of Future Beak and Mercy King, they are just eating up the food and pose no threat at all.

Thinking of this, he raised the Moonlight Spear and released the "Light Falling Dusk" for group use.

Attacks that need to be transmitted through space naturally cannot pass through the light wall, but what if the launch location is right behind the light wall?

Then, in the sky above the insect swarm, streams of light and darkness intertwined, covering the ceiling that emitted a cold light and bringing a gorgeous dusk into the hall.

Immediately afterwards, countless holy lights emerged from the dusk, and then turned into glowing meteors that covered the sky and fell from the sky!

The piles of world-destroying insect swarms turned into riddled corpses in the splashing rain of light, and their lives were completely buried in the gorgeous rain of light.

“It’s so beautiful~”

Yudena looked up at the scene, her eyes sparkling, and she praised it from the bottom of her heart.

Bao Xia and Hun Wu also looked at the rain of light all over the sky. In addition to admiration, the former also felt a numb sense of shock in his heart.

He could see that Ye Yiyi was performing magic, but he had never seen or even heard of such gorgeous and terrifying magic.

It was only at this moment that he suddenly remembered that Ye Yiyi's public identity had always been that of a magician...

But where can there be such a magician in this world?

Bao Xia glanced at Ye Yiyi, who was stepping on the World-Destroying Bug, punching the Big Rooster and the Kind Man, and even changed his clothes after the fight, and lowered his head silently.

As for what happened while he was unconscious...

I don’t know either, and I don’t dare to ask.

As for Soul Five, he had actually prepared for the marathon as early as the dusk appeared, but only later discovered that this was magic cast by friendly forces.

But the problem is, facing this magic that is no less powerful than the means of the "Gods".

What’s the point of just running a marathon?

Or just unplug the network cable...

Soon, the light rain stopped, and Ye removed the light walls one by one. He looked at the piles of insect corpses pouring down to his feet, and looked at the light curtain expressionlessly.

After clearing all the bugs blocking the road with one move, the number of soul echoes he obtained was zero.

"There isn't a single high-level world-annihilating insect. They are all small insects without even a soul."

He shook his head and stepped onto the insect mountain, stepping on the broken insect corpses on the ground.

Bao Xia didn't know how to answer, so he and Soul Five just followed each other.

"The road leading to the warehouse is also blocked."

Yudenna looked at the other end of the square, at the door that was tightly blocked by insect corpses, and turned to look at Ye Yiyi.

"Your Highness, there are so many bugs here that they might have blocked the main passage. How about we go around through the laboratory on the third floor?"

In fact, the second floor can also be bypassed, but the highest point of the insect mountain under feet is more than ten meters high, and the corridor on the second floor has long been submerged in it. Ye Yiyi can even step directly on the insect corpses to reach the third floor.

He didn't comment on this, but simply asked, "Who originally owned the laboratory on the third floor?"

"The second to eighth floors are all the labs of the inchworm. It seems to have gone to a higher level now, so we can safely go to the warehouse via the stairs inside."

The inchworm, formerly known as the mineral-loving earthworm, is a strange magical life form composed entirely of "inchworm".

Looking back now, the Stone Gold Earth Dragon is actually another name for the mineral-loving earthworm.

Alice once told him that ore-loving earthworms are creatures with a special diet that can digest ores and rocks and break them down into silicon, iron and oxide.

When they were young, they were carbon-based flesh and blood creatures, but as they grew up, they gradually transformed into silicon-based creatures. This change in life form made Ye Yi, who heard the popular science for the first time, call it "nonsense".

By now, he has long been accustomed to it.

After all, even the "living lightning" can be transformed into the "Merciful Prince" in the opera house, so it is not unacceptable for a mineral-loving earthworm to become a "meter-sized earthworm".

"So how did the inchworm come into being?"

He asked as he stepped on the insect corpses and walked towards the corridor on the third floor.

"Could it be that he ate too much of some strange metal when he was little that he became like that?"

"It doesn't seem so."

Yudena thought for a moment and shook her head. "I heard from those biologists that the inchworm looked like this when it was born."

"Born like this? Then what about its mother?"

"I do not know."

Yudenana shook her head. "It's said that when the inchworm was found in the mine, it had already eaten all of its metalized counterparts."

"eaten?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows and suddenly remembered the cursed Stone-Gold Earth Dragon King she had met before.

If I remember correctly, that guy also ate other of his kind and imprisoned the souls of the entire ore-loving earthworm tribe in a secondary metal body. Only one lone earthworm was left, which ran to the outskirts of Lupe Rainforest and was eventually hunted by Lupe's hunters.

But the difference is that he feels that the "eat" that Yudenna mentioned has nothing to do with the soul, it is just eating.

Thinking of this, he stepped onto the corridor on the third floor, looked around, and saw at a glance the extremely eye-catching steel cave on the wall of the corridor in the distance.

That is a cave formed by melting and solidifying metal. There is another similar hole on a higher level. It is the hole that the inchworm drilled when it left the laboratory.

I don't know where that thing went. What if it broke something in the workshop again...

Ye Yiyi was a little worried, but considering that the most important thing at the moment was to restart the core of the entire workshop, he didn't think much about it and just let the little goblin lead the way.

Behind the cave is a strange cave with many circular lava tunnels with a diameter of two meters.

Not only the third floor, but the entire floor used to house and study inchworms seemed to have become like this under the power of that creature.

In those tunnels that glowed with a faint red light and looked like half-solidified magma, one could vaguely see the remains of various metal equipment and skilled slaves that had not yet completely melted.

In addition, the floors themselves are made of metal. After being completely melted, these metals solidified and recast, forming this huge lava cave that is large enough to accommodate earthworms.

Although Ye Yiyi was now wearing the king's ceremonial attire whose appearance had been modified by Yuechen, and she didn't have to worry about her clothes and shoes being damaged, Baoxia and Hunwu were unable to walk on the semi-solidified high-temperature ground.

As a last resort, he had to grab one person in each hand and take them to fly across this dangerous environment.

On the way, he discovered many high-level world-destroying Zergs that had already died and whose bodies had almost blended into the surrounding environment.

With the help of the passive effect of the Eye of All-Seeing Inscription, Ye released his puppet hands one by one and found several intact rune and spell inscriptions on their corpses, as well as several "turbid stones" that only high-level World-Destroying Insects can produce.

In addition to the several inscriptions he had already obtained, there was also a curse inscription that he obtained for the first time.

In addition, he also found a thick book made of special steel that had never been melted.

After following Yudinana through the melted stairs to the first floor and going deeper inside for a distance, Ye Yiyi finally left the lava cave and found a locked door at the end of a corridor.

Putting down the two people in his hands, he released Yuangungun to open the door, and at the same time took out the two new items to check.

[Cursed Inscription Hammer Fusion]

Item Description: Special impressions recorded by the painters of Kagetsu Nagaki.

It is also one of the incantations that transcribes impressions into patterns.

The inscription shaped like a hammer head will give the "ruler" special characteristics of affinity.

Allows the Brander to manipulate metals containing the element of rudiment.

The more metal the better, the easier it is to manipulate.

This is the impression the artist observed from the inchworm.

It is said to be the source of the power that controls the scale.

It is very similar to the hammer that symbolizes the Creator.

"Control the ruler? How?"

After reading the instructions, Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned.

Could it be that it can be manipulated like an inchworm, melted and recast or something?

Or could it be that it was because of this inscription that the world-destroying insects were given the confidence to challenge the inchworms?

As he thought about this, he looked at the thick metal book again.
