Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 125 'Acquaintances'
Bai Shi heard the cry for help and looked at where he was.

It is the only way to get to Gaileed, the Saint's Bridge.

Bai Shi immediately knew who was asking for help.

There was no doubt that Alexander was stuck in the pit again.

Bai Shi had never expected that Alexander would be stuck in a pit in this world and unable to get out.

It seems that he still can't escape the character setting.

And from what Alexander said, he has been stuck here for several days?

What on earth is going on?
Is it the restraining power of the plot? Forced world line to converge?
No matter what, since I have met him, I might as well go and meet him.

Bai Shi let Torrett run up the hillside.

Torrett ran and jumped on the stones nimbly and soon climbed up the hill from the path.

After reaching the top of the hill, Bai Shi still couldn't find Alexander.

After all, this world is much bigger than in the game, and the area of a hill is already quite large.

In fact, it was already evening.

This is the case even though Torrett has been running non-stop today, never taking a break, and has been running along the avenue.

Even with Torret's strength, he only managed to travel about one-third of the way. You can imagine how big this world is.

As it was already dark, Bai Shi searched carefully for a while.

After a lot of effort, I followed the sound and saw the unique figure next to a cliff.

I saw a huge pot growing in the ground.

The pot is huge, and the entire ochre-yellow body is very round.

Two thick stone arms grew on both sides of the pot, and there was a huge red lid on top of the head.

This guy is none other than the warrior pot 'Iron Fist' Alexander.

Alexander put his arms on the ground, supporting his body, like a person in deep thought.

Ever since he heard the news about the battle festival, he immediately rushed to Galid in a panic.

But unfortunately, on the way, he ran to the top of the hill to look ahead.

As a result, when he stepped back to adjust his perspective, he accidentally got stuck in the pit.

But for some unknown reason, something seemed to have stuck him in the pit, making it impossible for him to escape by his own strength.

As a result, he has been stuck here for a long time and has not been able to get out.

At first he tried for a long time, but to no avail, so he changed his mind and started asking for help.

When he first started asking for help, he was shouting all the time, hoping to attract the attention of people around him.

But unfortunately, there has been no response.

Later on, I was so tired that I started shouting every 10 minutes.

As the date of the battle festival drew closer, he became anxious but helpless.

As a pot, he neither eats nor drinks at all.

What Alexander was really worried about was not whether he could escape. Anyway, he would be fine if he didn't eat or drink.

Instead, he was worried about whether he could make it to the battle festival on time.

The warriors in the body can't wait any longer and keep urging me.

The pot is a ritual product, and they don't need anything else to sustain their lives.

Just like the magic circulation system in the golems' bodies, the pots also have similar abilities.

When they were born, the ceremony had already given them life through human flesh and blood, turning them into extremely special beings.

Although they have life, they are like inorganic matter.

There is no need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate, all energy structures come from magic power.

This is how they were designed when they were first created.

Therefore, Pots are free to choose their own path.

In Hu Village, there are oil pots, medicine pots and other pots.

They will put corresponding objects into their bodies and integrate them into themselves.

Although the living pots are born of flesh and blood, they are actually very kind.

If you choose to become a warrior pot, you must put the corpses of other warriors in your body.

Inherit their dreams of becoming heroes and keep moving towards the top.

But Alexander felt that he would disappoint the warriors in his body.

However, there is always a way out. Today, his call for help was finally responded to.

Bai Shi appeared in front of Alexander riding on Torret.

Alexander's current perspective was similar to that of a human lying on the ground, so he only saw four horse hooves appear in front of him.

"Oh! Hello! Can you help me?"

"As you can see, I'm stuck in this pit and can't move. It's really frustrating."

Bai Shi got off Torrett, walked up and touched Alexander's body.

The feel and texture are quite rough, and it feels like it is very hard.

"Well, of course."

"Tell me what to do."

Alexander was very happy when he heard this, he was finally saved.

"Ohh! Thank you so much. Please use whatever weapon you have to hit my bottom."

"I think as long as the weapon I use is big enough, I can definitely get out of this predicament."

"Don't worry about hurting me. I'm very strong. After all, I've been exercising."

"Oh, by the way, your intuition is very accurate. The side you are facing now is actually my face."

Bai Shi circled around Alexander, but couldn't find any difference between his so-called face and his bottom.

Moreover, Bai Shi did not find anything resembling eyes or other organs.

We have no idea how they see things, which is enough to be listed as one of the world's most difficult problems.

Bai Shi came behind Alexander's butt.

After thinking about it, Bai Shi finally decided not to use the dragon hunting sword and spear.

You have to know that at this moment Alexander was not yet a very powerful warrior.

I guess I have just reached the threshold of the hero level.

If I use my current strength with the Dragon Hunting Sword and Spear...

Even if he controlled the force and hit Alexander with the flat surface of the sword or spear, it would be possible to break him.

So Bai Shi stood behind Alexander, then raised his foot high and stomped hard on the ground.

The magic power spread out from under his feet and covered all the land around Alexander.

This was the ground-stomping technique that Bai Shi had learned from the Crucible Knights before, and it was the same technique that he had used against the Night Knights before.

However, this time, Bai Shi controlled the force and did not hurt Alexander, but only blew away the land.

Alexander was just wondering why Bai Shi hadn't made any movement for so long?
Just as he was about to speak to warn him, he found that the ground around him was shaking.

Within a second or two, Alexander's entire pot was shaken out of the ground.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

With a "click", Alexander landed on the ground and had an intimate contact with the ground next to him.

"What a beautiful shot!"

"I never thought that there would come a day when even a clumsy body like me could fly, hahahaha."

Alexander got up from the ground, brushed the dirt off his body, and laughed heartily.

At the same time, Alexander was secretly surprised that this person's strength was so powerful.

And when Alexander saw clearly what Bai Shi and Torret were wearing, he was even more shocked.

This man's clothes were gorgeous and domineering, and he looked very powerful.

He is more than a warrior, he is just like the hero described in various legends.

This person's background must be very extraordinary.

Bai Shi smiled and walked up to Alexander.

Bai Shi liked this generous and enthusiastic warrior pot very much in the game.

"Your body is really strong. It looks like it's made of the same material as an ordinary cracked pot, but it's many times harder." Alexander crossed his arms over his chest, feeling very proud.

"Oh, yes, I always work out after all."

"And there are so many warriors in my body. They won't allow me to break down at will."

"It was your attack that surprised me. It was really powerful."

"Even though it didn't hit me directly, I felt like I was almost broken. Wahahahaha."

Bai Shi saw that Alexander was full of energy and naturally knew that he was joking and just flattering each other on business.

Bai Shi asked:
"Are you going to the battle festival in Gaileed?"

Alexander was a little surprised, and then asked Bai Shi in surprise:
"Oh, so you're going to the battle festival too?"

Bai Shi nodded.

"Yes, I want to participate and see how powerful the legendary General Shattering Star is."

Alexander was very happy to find someone who shared the same goal as him.

"You and I think exactly the same thing. I think we will get along very well."

"Come to think of it, I haven't even introduced myself yet. I'm Alexander the Iron Fist. As you can see, I'm a warrior."

Bai Shi also simply gave his name.

"Just call me Baishi."

Alexander thought for a while. The name sounded familiar to him, as if he had heard it on the road.

But it seemed that when others were talking about this name, I was on my way and didn't pay attention.

No matter what, we know each other now.

"Great, I'm glad to meet a strong warrior like you."

"By the way, this is for you as a thank you for helping me."

Alexander reached out to his red lid.

With one hand he opened the lid a crack, and with the other hand he pulled out a huge piece of meat.

"This is a delicacy called Brave Meat. It is said that it is a food that only brave warriors and kings in the wilderness can enjoy. Eating it seems that it can temporarily increase your strength."

Bai Shi took the huge piece of the hero's meat and looked at it carefully.

Well, it looks a bit like the legs of some creature.

Bai Shi looked at the piece of brave man's flesh in his hand, and then looked at Alexander.

Bai Shi remembered that pots like the Warrior Pot would absorb the corpses of warriors into its body and then use them to increase its strength.

And this piece of brave flesh was taken out from his body...

Is this thing a piece of brave man's flesh, or a piece of brave man's flesh?
Bai Shi was indecisive for a moment, and his expression changed involuntarily.

Alexander noticed the change in Bai Shi's expression and was a little confused.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with the thank-you gift?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have anything on me to thank you with right now. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until later to repay you."

Bai Shi shook his head.

"No, compensation is optional."

"What I'm more concerned about is what the Hero's Meat Block itself is."

"Because I heard that the Warrior Pot will put the body of the warrior inside, um..."

Alexander didn't react for a moment.

It was not until Bai Shi finished his last sentence that Alexander understood what he was worried about.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to think that way."

"But don't worry, this is definitely not human meat. It's some kind of pickled beast meat that I got from somewhere else."

"If you don't believe me, why don't you come and see the structure of my body? You will definitely feel relieved after seeing it."

After saying that, Alexander didn't give Bai Shi time to refuse, and raised his red lid with both hands.

Alexander squatted, then leaned forward so that Bai Shi could easily see what was inside his body.

Bai Shi took a closer look and found that the structure inside Alexander's body was far beyond his imagination.

There are things like blood vessels on the wall of the pot, which are closely integrated with the secret patterns of the ritual. They must be the remains of the ritual of the birth of the living pot.

And there are a lot of things in the pots and jars further down.

There is a net bag sewn with cloth on the top, which separates the top items and things from the lower layer.

This net bag is filled with some strange items, basically everything.

The small ones resemble glowing stones, while the large ones resemble various intact weapons.

These were all picked up by Alexander during his travels, including the brave man's meat just now.

After all, Hu is a species that neither eats nor drinks, so he didn't keep these for his own use.

When Alexander encountered warriors he liked, he would send some of them out from here.

And under this net bag, there were many piled up body parts, emitting a strong smell of blood, and there was blood accumulating inside.

The pile of body parts included the armor they wore in life, as well as broken and mangled weapons.

Bai Shi was amazed at the internal structure of Alexander. He didn't expect it could be played like this.

After confirming that the piece of brave man's flesh was indeed not human flesh, Bai Shi felt relieved and hung it next to the storage bag beside Torrett.

"So, shall we set off together to Gallid?"

Bai Shi took the initiative to bring it up.

Alexander was tempted, but after thinking for a while, he realized that he would never be able to catch up with the horse.

Especially this horse doesn’t look like an ordinary horse. It has two horns on its head, which is very extraordinary.

Alexander patted his body and said to Bai Shi:
"Oh, no, I can't keep up with the horse."

"You go ahead, but don't worry, I will definitely meet you at the battle festival."

"Hahaha, then we'll be comrades fighting side by side."

Bai Shi nodded, said goodbye to Alexander, and then set off for Gaileed.

Alexander looked at the direction where Bai Shi left after crossing the Saint's Bridge and pondered for a while.

"Hmm? Why does it feel like the direction he's heading is a little different from what I imagined?"

"Well, maybe he took the wrong path."

"Alas, it seems that he can't hear my reminders now. I wonder if he can make it to the battle festival."

Alexander walked down the hillside, crossed the Saint's Bridge, and headed in the direction he had chosen.

Alexander didn't know at this time that the direction he was going was strange.

This path would lead him to the side entrance of Gale Tunnel, causing him to almost fail to reach Galeid.
-
Bai Shi said goodbye to Alexander and continued on his way.

Even though it was already night, Bai Shi had no intention of resting and wanted to hurry over there.

Torrett had no objection and never slowed down.

Suddenly, a conspicuous sign standing on the ground attracted Bai Shi's attention.

It was a wooden sign, erected on the ground beside the road, and the sign was very large.

The sign read in crooked handwriting:

"There is a treasure ahead →"

Seeing this wooden sign, Bai Shi suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Just, there is a feeling of confusion.

What the hell is this?

This style of painting doesn't fit in with this world.

Bai Shi looked in the direction the sign pointed.

In the darkness of night, there were lights from some torches, perhaps someone was exploring there.

In the dim light, you can vaguely see that there is a ruin surrounded by a cemetery.

There is indeed a possibility that cemeteries and ruins may contain treasures.

But at the border, what you are more likely to encounter next to the tombstones is not treasures, but the dead born.

Bai Shi held his forehead with one hand and sighed.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is probably another mark left by an acquaintance.
