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

The heavy-slashing sword was cleverly deflected by the waving shield.

The Blood Knight Master's eyes widened. How could the final blow, which he had launched with all his might, be so easily neutralized by the opponent?

"No! That's... a shield counter!"

A combat technique that uses a shield to cleverly deflect an opponent's attacks and expose their weaknesses.

I didn't expect him to have such exquisite skills...

The Holy Blood Knight watched Ye Yiyi point his staff at him, exhaled a long breath, and closed his eyes resignedly.

The next moment, a white light flashed, and a burst of magic power was shot out at almost zero distance.

"Puch!"

The Holy Blood Knight Master's head exploded, his health bar dropped to zero, and he died!

Soul Echo +6600

The proficiency of the combat skill Storm Return (3/50) has been improved!

Item Stinger Ring proficiency (14/20) improved!

"call……"

Ye Yiyi sighed deeply and put away the staff.

"I won by luck." He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"My victory was entirely due to the advantages of terrain and equipment. If I were surrounded by three people in an open area, I really couldn't defeat them all together..."

But no matter what, the final winner of this battle still belongs to Ye Yiyi.

"The Bishop and the Holy Blood Knight are dead. It's time to clean out the Holy Blood Priests here."

He took out the ferocious and broken fang again and slowly walked out of the bishop's room filled with smoke.

Then he smiled kindly at the Holy Blood priests who were gathered in the corridor in confusion.

"It's your turn."

Chapter 79 [Bloodthirsty Relief Pendant] and [Blood Coagulation Gem]

It took nearly 20 minutes, and all the Holy Blood Priests of the Secret Holy Blood Temple were killed.

Soul Echo +4004

There are a total of 32 Holy Blood Priests and 12 Holy Blood Knight candidates.

This also includes those knights who are unwilling to undergo the divine surgery.

While killing them, the knight denounced Ye Yiyi for indiscriminately killing unarmed people, calling him a demon who regarded human life as worthless!

Ye Yiyi was speechless about this, so he kicked open the closed door of a room, pointed at the skinned corpses on the floor and asked the knight what this was.

The knight was speechless, but a Holy Blood Priest who didn't want to die answered for the knight.

"Those are the bodies of the failed divine operations. Someone will throw them into the sewer later."

Ye Yiyi then asked the missionary, in order to research this operation, many people must have died. Did you use people who volunteered to participate in the research?

The priest said no, saying that they imported slaves from the neighboring kingdom for human research.

Ye Yiyi asked again how many slaves were used. The priest said there were too many and he couldn't remember them all. He only remembered that rooms like this where corpses were stored sometimes had to be cleaned three times a day.

The priest also said that slaves were worthless anyway, so it didn't matter what they were used for, and no one would care about their life or death.

So Ye Yiyi questioned the knight, "Aren't slaves unarmed? Who is the real devil?"

The knight replied as if it was a matter of course, "Slaves are not human beings! How can they compare with us?"

Ye Yiyi was speechless and cut off the knight's head with a sword.

"There's nothing to say to these guys who don't treat people as human beings." He concluded.

Then he came to the rooms where the air-dried bacon was hanging and sent all the quasi-Holy Blood Knights who were undergoing transformation by the Holy Blood Worms to the west.

Soul Echo +6160

"One actually has 220 soul echoes? This is much more than the hundred or so knights and priests." Ye Yiyi sighed.

As a result, the total amount of soul echoes in his body officially exceeded 6, totaling 63530.

"That's enough to level up ten times."

Next comes the corpse-touching and exploration phases.

He hadn't explored the corridors on the first floor yet. Now that he had cleared out the monsters, he could enter and exit freely.

After searching around, he found that the many corridors on the first floor were a bloody slaughterhouse!

Judging from the layout of the room here, it was originally a repair room for skilled slaves, but was later converted into a laboratory by the Holy Blood Order.

In these rooms, Ye Yiyi discovered a large number of human organs that had been prepared as specimens.

Various organs were soaked in a special solution in glass bottles, including hearts, lungs, kidneys, small intestines, and calves of various sizes...

One of the rooms is specifically used to dry freshly peeled human skin.

In addition, there are a large number of human skin scrolls marked with surgical details, as well as instructions for various skinning techniques.

Ye Yi felt nauseous after watching it.

So the skin can be reused, right?

Seeing that there was nothing that could jump out of the light curtain, he simply collected all these things together and burned them all.

In addition, he also found a room specifically used for making blood-coated beads, and harvested nearly fifty blood-coated beads.

But after a careful search, Ye Yiyi did not find any trace of anesthetic.

It wasn't until he found a blood-stained hammer that he suddenly realized what was going on.

"So this anesthesia refers to physical anesthesia..."

After completely searching the first floor, Ye Yiyi found some coins, some miscellaneous items, and several hymn books.

But these are all hymns praising the Holy Blood, and the chapters of the hymns are very similar, and no hymns praising the Lord of the Holy Blood are found.

So Ye Yiyi went back to the second floor where corpses were scattered all over the floor and searched the rooms along the way one by one.

The second floor was the personal rooms of the Holy Blood priests. Ye Yiyi dug deep into the ground and accepted everything that came his way. No matter if it was useful or not, he would pack it all up and take it away.

In this way, he did find an ornament with special powers.

【Bloodthirsty Relief Pendant】

Item Description: A portrait ornament engraved with the bloodthirsty face of the natural god, the Lord of Holy Blood.

When the surrounding characters fall into abnormal state and bleed,

Can speed up the accumulation of bleeding scale and bleeding damage.

The Lord of Holy Blood craves the blood of fellow gods.

To this end, he ordered his followers:

Launch an attack on the heretical gods!

Bathed in the bloodthirsty joy, they jointly established an immortal kingdom of God on earth.

"This accessory is great! It's a magical item when used with the blood beads!" Ye Yiyi's face was full of joy.

The Blood Bead can use the power of blood to cause rapid bleeding. If there is an accessory bonus, wouldn’t the bleeding speed be further increased?

"nice one!"

Ye Yiyi found a rope, threaded the pendant through it, and hung it around her neck.

Then, he found a holy monument in a room in the middle corridor.

But to his surprise, there was another door inside the room where the holy tablet was placed.

"There's actually a secret door here?"

Ye Yiyi was a little surprised. After activating the holy tablet, he opened the unlocked door and looked outside.

Behind the door was a dark staircase leading down, and no one knew where it led.

Ye opened the light screen map one by one, checked the location, and then found a clue.

The road behind the door is not drawn on the map.

"So this is a hidden road." Ye Yiyi fell into deep thought, "Few people know about it, so it's not drawn on the map.

In this way, this holy monument is equivalent to a signpost or a relay station."

He looked at the map.

After exploring the secret Holy Blood Temple, he should have gone to the skull on the map to investigate the existence of the remaining cursed creatures.

If he returned the same way, he would not only have to continue wandering in the sewers, but he would also have to take an extra long detour.

"That would be a waste of time. Since we're already here, we might as well just leave."

After making the decision, he returned to the corridor, ready to search the secret Holy Blood Temple, and then use the holy monument here as a starting point to explore the unknown road behind the door.

After searching all the rooms in the corridor, Ye Yiyi found a blood gem that could be used to enchant weapons.

【Blood Coagulation Gem】

Item Description: A special gem found in a river of blood that never coagulates.

It has sacred symbolic meaning and is regarded as a symbol of the Lord of Holy Blood.

Used for enchantment slots for weapons or armor.

Can grant a qualitative enhancement of "bleeding" or "bloodsucking".

"This is also a good thing. It can be used to make bleeding weapons or blood-sucking weapons."

Weapons that have undergone a qualitative change in "bleeding" are corrected by the "mysterious" attribute, which can increase the accumulated bleeding and the basic damage of the weapon.

The qualitative change of "Bloodsucking" is also affected by the "Mysterious" correction, and can restore health according to the damage caused by the weapon.

Since the health recovery effect has a cooldown, it cannot be triggered continuously.

Therefore, this qualitative change is generally used for large weapons that can cause a lot of damage at one time, or daggers used for executions.

"I have unlimited health, so bloodsucking is useless to me. As for bleeding, I can embed it on weapons that can't cause bleeding."

After putting away the blood coagulation gem, Ye Yiyi returned to the bishop's room.

As the big boss, he left this place to plunder last.

The first is the weapon of the Holy Blood Knight.

A three-meter-long spear, a long-handled axe, a big sword and a big shield!

Because the Holy Blood Knight's armor was severely damaged, Ye Yiyi directly used the universal cauldron to decompose it.

Harvest a total of 7 Silver Iron Ore, and 12 Raw Iron Ore.

【Raw cast iron ore】

Item Description: Common metallic iron ore, found in mines around the world.

A material used to craft props, it can also be used to forge sturdy weapons and armor.

The mining and smelting of iron ore is a symbol of mankind's transition from wilderness to hegemony.

After putting away the ore materials, Ye Yiyi continued to check the weapons.

First of all, there is that three-meter-long gun!

【Holy Blood Knight Spear】

Requirements: Strength 20, Skill 18

Damage Modification: Strength D, Skill C

Durability: 237/300

Skill cost: [0/18]
