Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 204 Lingyi Picking Workers Bell Pearl

Bai Shi saw Blaze leaning against the wall in the corner.

Blaze had now removed his cape, wearing only close-fitting black armor.

The once fluffy and smooth hair was soaked and stuck to the body, making the person look smaller visually.

Even the wolf head, which was originally quite handsome, has now become very funny.

The long wolf muzzle causes the head to look a lot like a bicycle seat.

He was soaked all over, with water dripping onto the ground, looking like a drowned dog.

There was also a huge 'popsicle' placed next to Blaze.

A closer look at the hilt revealed that it was Blaze's weapon, the Royal Greatsword.

The royal giant sword carries an icy magic power, emitting chill all the time. It must be even more unbearable for Blaze who has obviously fallen into the water.

Wrapped around the royal greatsword was the heavy fur cloak he had always worn, which was now frozen to the sword.

Blaze spotted Bai Shi when he jumped in, and said awkwardly:

"Oh... Lord Baishi, you are here too."

Bai Shi nodded and walked to Blaze's side.

While releasing the power of sunlight, Bai Shi asked Blaze:
"what happened?"

"Did you fall into the water just now?"

Blaze raised his head, looking at nowhere with a bit of embarrassment.

"Uh—, yes."

"At that time, I was careless... I was attacked... I didn't stand firmly, and I was knocked down."

Bai Shi held back his laughter and helped Blaze dry his body.

He also discovered that the sunlight seemed to be slightly suppressed here, but it was not a big deal.

"Knocked down? The opponent must be strong."

Blaze reached up and scratched the tip of his nose.

"Indeed, she is not weak. She looks a bit like Esti whom I met before."

"But it seems a little different. It walks on all fours like a wild animal."

"But its head is definitely the same as the one I saw before, Esti. I won't be mistaken about that."

Bai Shi nodded and began to explain to Blaze:
"Those should be the larvae of the Esti. After growing up, they will eventually become what they are on the sand dunes."

"Come to think of it, you've arrived here in just a few days since leaving Red Lion City. That's pretty fast."

Blaze couldn't use the blessed teleportation like the Faded Ones, so he just ran here. He ran here in just a few days, so his legs must be very strong.

"I'm still somewhat confident in my leg strength."

"But it's also thanks to finding a shortcut, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."

Blaze began to tell about his journey since leaving Red Lion City.

Because he is a beast of the shadows, his leg strength is pretty good.

At that time, Blaze ran almost all the way, but when he reached the edge of a cliff, he found that he seemed to have run to the wrong place again.

However, on the edge of the cliff, Blaze saw Nimgefu below.

Although he was a little directionally challenged, Blaze still easily recognized the foggy forest where he had stayed and been active for a long time.

Instead of changing the route now, try going this way.

He found that the cliff didn't seem to be particularly steep, and thought that he might be able to climb down, so he actually climbed all the way down from the cliff.

After Blaze came down from the cliff, he was in the area near the fog forest, and then he easily reached the crater.

After finally coming down from the weightless area to the Eternal City, Blaze lost his way again in the vast city ruins.

In the end, he chose the place with faint lights.

However, Blaze did not choose to go to the bottom of the building complex to find out what was going on like Bai Shi. Instead, he jumped directly between the buildings and ran over from the roof.

When passing by one of the rooftops, a falling star beast that came out from nowhere attacked and hit Blaze.

This blow directly knocked him off the top of the building.

Recalling the scene at that time, Blaze still felt a lingering fear.

At that time, he thought he was finished.

After all, he didn't know there was water underneath. If there was an abyss underneath, he might have fallen and been injured.

In the water, Esti, who had knocked Blaze down, did not chase him.

Blaze saw some Esti hanging upside down on the edge of the building nearby, so he simply didn't go ashore and swam directly in the water in the same direction as before.

Although this method successfully avoided fighting along the way, they arrived at the destination safely.

But the royal giant sword used by Blaze, which continuously released cold magic, made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He was afraid of the cold to begin with, and the icy water and the huge royal sword on his back made him extremely uncomfortable. Only now that he was on shore did he feel a little better.

After listening to the whole process of Blaze's arrival here, Bai Shi felt a little helpless.

What exactly is the matter with Blaze's lost attribute?

Forget it, even though there are always accidents every time, at least we can get to the destination.

"So that's it..."

"Anyway, since we have met here, let's act together from now on."

Blaze nodded.

He had no reason to act on his own. As long as he could quickly find the hunting finger knife that Lani was looking for, it didn't matter what the process was.
-
Bai Shi and Blaze looked down from where they were now.

The interior of the building was also in great disrepair, with floors destroyed on a large scale, and the conditions of other floors could be easily seen from above.

In one of the layers, there was a very bright white flame.

Bai Shi observed carefully and found that the source of the light was a torch held by a strange creature.

They must be the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion who were left here.

In short, it’s definitely right to go down.

After Blaze put his cloak back on and carried the royal sword on his back, the two of them jumped down from the building and moved down one floor at a time.

Soon, they arrived at the floor illuminated by white spiritual fire.

There, Bai Shi also saw the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion holding torches of spiritual fire.

As the Storm King's slave army, the Fallen Eagle Legion was sent to explore the underground 'Eternal City' and was subsequently trapped here forever.

But now it’s hard to say that they can still be called soldiers because of their appearance.

All their clothes had disappeared, and they were naked, wandering around with only various weapons and spiritual fire torches in their hands.

The soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion had pale skin, thin and skinny limbs, and haggard faces.

The skin becomes thinner towards the ends of the limbs.

There was no skin at all on the hands and feet, and the texture of the flesh was exposed, all scarlet.

Their eyes were also extremely empty, completely devoid of mind. To be honest, Bai Shi felt that their current appearance was a bit like the lower-level servants transformed by vampires in certain film and television works.

However, the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion are obviously not servants of vampires, but a slave legion under the previous Storm King, and are normal creatures in the border area.

And now, it has been eroded by an unknown force in the 'Eternal City' and has mutated into this appearance.

Here underground, they lost their food and their fire.

In the end, they chose to burn the corpses of their companions and ignite the cold spiritual fire.

Baizhi tried to communicate with them using the storm.

Stonewell's storm troopers had also lost their minds, but with the help of the storm they could still recognize themselves as their own people.

But the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion did not react at all.

It was not known whether it was because they had completely forgotten or because of the hatred of being left here to die, but they instead rushed towards Bai Shi and Blaze, brandishing their weapons.

The soldiers in the distance threw spiritual fire at the two men.

It was obvious that they had lost the ability to communicate and their minds had been completely worn away.

White consciousness summoned a storm to help them escape.

After dealing with the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion who were wandering here, Bai Shi did not rush forward, but began to observe this floor.

The Fallen Eagle Legion is only distributed from here onwards, and no trace of their activities was found in the building just now.

They might have come in from somewhere else and came directly here.

That is to say, there may be another more convenient route that can allow a large number of people to enter the 'Eternal City' from there.

Bai Shi looked around the area, then used the wind to explore the surroundings, and finally found a place buried by collapsed rubble.

It was buried under rubble and building debris, but a faint breeze blew through the gaps, and behind it was a passage.

Bai Shi took out the Sword of Night and Fire and released the Comet Stream at the area covered by rubble.

The tremendous magical power instantly penetrated all the rubble and building debris.

The cave was reopened, and sure enough, there was a rock tunnel behind it.

Now Bai Shi was in a hurry to go to the Dark Night Realm, so he did not explore the passage here, but just took a quick look.

This building is embedded in the rock mass, unlike other buildings in the residential area. The passage behind it is also dug out of the rock mass.

Then this might be a mountain in Nimgfu.

The Fallen Eagle Legion probably came down from here before.

But after entering, it seemed that there was another collapse, and the previous road was completely blocked again.

Although we don't know when they came down to explore, but since no one came to rescue, I'm afraid Stonewell was already fighting with Ge Fulei's army at that time.

These soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion had no way to escape and were eventually turned into monsters here.

Bai Shi remembered this location and waited to explore upwards in the future.

In this way, we can send people in from here to carry out archaeological and excavation work.

Bai Shi and Blaze continued forward and reached a hall from the stairs on this floor.

The decorative style of this hall is more gorgeous than the previous residential area, and it is also very well preserved with almost no damage.

Walking out of the hall, an open courtyard appeared in front of the two.

Before they had time to appreciate the intact and magnificent buildings here, soldiers from the Fallen Eagle Legion rushed in from all directions of the courtyard.

Bai Shi and Blaze each dealt with a part and easily solved them all.

After all the mutant soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion were eliminated, Bai Shi came to the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.

There was a corpse lying on the ground, holding an object that emitted a faint glow in its hand.

Bai Shi remembered that there seemed to be a bell bead of a Lingyi picker here. Could this be it?

Bai Shi picked up the glowing object from the corpse's hand.

It was a small ball with a rough surface, irregular patterns on it, and was covered by a force.

Judging from the appearance, this is undoubtedly a bell bead.

Bai Shi tried to inject magic power into it, and the bell bead quickly responded.

After a while, the bell bead suddenly cracked.

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then a large number of Lingyi lily of the valley fell from the bell beads to the ground.

These lilies of the valley in Lingyi Cemetery are big and small, but most of the flower buds are very small, which means that the grade is not high.

The most numerous are lily of the valley 1 to 3 at Lingyi Cemetery, with more than twenty flowers in total.

The more advanced ones have some with 4 or 5 flowers, about ten or so, and only one each of 6 and 7.

There are more than forty lilies of the valley from Lingyi Cemetery, and these are all the items in this bell bead.

Afterwards, the bell bead turned into ashes in Bai Shi's hand and disappeared from then on.

Bai Shi had no choice but to put all the lilies of the valley into his own space disc.

It seems that the bell beads in reality are quite different from those in the game.

It seems to be a disposable storage item that uses a special method to store items.

It’s a pity that you can’t buy unlimited items like in the game.

But after thinking about it, Bai Shi felt relieved. After all, it was completely like creating something out of thin air.

After putting away the lily of the valley, Bai Shi continued to walk around the courtyard.

Soon, Bai Shi found a teardrop corpse in the building on the right.

Unlike the silver teardrops defeated previously, this teardrop's liquid body has a silver core.

Bai Shi picked it up. The shape of the core was like an embryo, with several tubular tentacles on it.

This is the teardrop larva, the key item that can complete the secret technique of "rebirth".

Bai Shi put the teardrop larvae into the space disc and found a portion of ashes in the next place.

These are the ashes of the Great Shield soldiers, which can summon the spirits of several Fallen Eagle Legion warriors holding the Reverse Eagle Tower Shield.

These large shield soldiers are positioned as the first line of defense in the legion, fighting in conjunction with their comrades.

They will actively attract hatred and contain the enemy.

Under the solid defense of the big shield, other soldiers can attack with confidence.

In addition, these large shield soldiers will also throw spiritual fire from behind their shields and engage in simple group combat.

In the game, these large shield soldiers are quite powerful and are top-tier tanks.

Especially for the fragile mages, it gives them a greater sense of security.

Prayer can also give various buffs to the big shield soldiers, and then easily defeat various bosses.

After the ashes were properly collected, there was nothing left worth collecting in this courtyard.

Bai Shi also forcibly opened the room on the left that could not be opened in the game and took a look, but there was nothing inside.

Bai Shi and Blaze walked through the gate and went down the narrow stairs.
