Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 318 Cuckoo?

Hearing Ashimi's words, Bai Shi nodded.

There is indeed an 'Eternal City' nearby.

That is another 'Eternal City' opposite to the 'Eternal City' Nokkron, Noxstella.

Faced with Ashimi's request, Bai Shi naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Well, let's go look for it later."

"It would be great if we could find the Teardrop Holy Grail."

"With the power of the Teardrop Holy Grail, your strength will be able to be further improved."

Ashmi responded excitedly:
"Yes! Master, the Teardrop Chalice is of utmost importance to me."

'I feel like I only need one more holy grail to perfect my imitation.'

'By then, I will be able to help you more.'

Bai Shi touched his chin.

Ashmi feels like only one more is needed?
It was even less than he had expected. He originally thought that at least three in total would be needed.

But it doesn't matter how many he wants, because he knows the locations of all the "Eternal Cities" on the border and how to get there.

As long as Ashmi doesn't need four or five Teardrop Holy Grails, it won't be a problem.

After all, he only knew the locations of three "Eternal Cities".

Bai Shi was already looking forward to the time when Ashimi could imitate perfectly and display his full strength.

If you and I join forces, how can we be the enemy? !

Bai Shi's own strength is already very strong.

When Ashimi can imitate perfectly, all enemies will have to face the mixed doubles of the two of them.

Now at the border, Bai Shi felt that the number of opponents he could not contend with could be counted on one hand.

Maliks, Radagon, Godfrey, Dragon King, Elden Beast...

Even the ones mentioned above are not impossible to defeat in mixed doubles.

Besides, even if mixed doubles doesn't work...

When that time comes, the worst that can happen is that I can call Melina and Lani to fight together.

If it still doesn’t work... then don’t blame Feng Ling Yueying for being ruthless with her knife.

No matter what, the Teardrop Holy Grail must be collected by Ashmi.

The increase in Ashimi's strength is equivalent to the increase in Baishi's combat power.

Now that you are here, you must take a trip to the 'Eternal City'.

After all, this is the only way to the Shadow of Disaster and the Lake of Corruption.

There are a lot of good things in Noxstella, which is completely different from the remote and poor place like Tower Town.

Moreover, Bai Shi had a weapon in his hand that had been covered in dust for a long time.

That was the Star Shadow Sword that was obtained from the town of Selia.

The Shadow of the Stars has a similar material to the Hunting Finger Knife, and probably has the same origin.

This alone is enough to make people look forward to its power.

It’s a pity that the power contained in the sword was sealed, and even the fighting skills could not be released.

Without the ability to use special powers, it is just a high-quality blank weapon.

Since it was created in the 'Eternal City', perhaps a way to remove the seal can be found in it.

I haven’t found any relevant information in Noklon before, so now I can only look forward to Nok Stella.

Bai Shi looked at the seemingly endless road ahead and shook his head.

The underground basin of the Ansel River is really huge, completely different from the short walk in the game.

He had just been flying all the way to explore, but even so, he still hadn't seen the end.

Bai Shi had no choice but to continue moving forward along the mainstream of the Ansel River.
-
After a while, a different scene finally appeared in front of us.

The area ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a huge cave with a large number of architectural ruins left in it.

The huge fire platform was still burning fiercely.

The light of the flame was just enough to allow people to see what was inside.

Several strangely shaped humanoid creatures roamed the ruins like wandering ghosts of the old dynasty.

Their bodies were dark and stiff, their movements were slow, and they were tall but hunched over.

Its body had the texture of dried mud, and there were wet blue bubbles on its back, as if it were a swamp itself.

The icy-blue-glowing fishing spears in their hands seemed to be warning other creatures that they would not be easily provoked even if the dynasty collapsed.

Bai Shi knew that they were the last remnants of the ruins of the lost dynasty, the Mud People.

But compared to these clay people, a terrifying monster is more eye-catching.

At the end of the ruins, two tall statues of sages stand on either side of a ruined stone arch.

The statues of the two sages were the same as those in other places on the border, that is, unknown old men holding stone slabs in their hands.

Right between the two tall statues, a pale Esti was hanging upside down, stretching her slender body to her heart's content.

Just when Bai Shi discovered Esti, it had already looked over.

Seeing the living life, the huge jaws in Esti's mouth collided with each other, making a loud noise.

The next moment, dense rubble rose into the air under the influence of gravity magic and flew towards Bai Shi.

A large area of purple magic power also appeared in front of Bai Shi, blocking him.

When these pieces of gravel touched the gravity magic, they were immediately controlled by Bai Shi in turn.

Bai Shi was about to take action to reflect the fragments back, but Ashimi suddenly emerged from his body.

"Host, leave it to me!"

Bai Shi put down the hand he had just raised, nodded, and handed the Esti to Ashimi.

Uncontrolled debris fell from the sky like rain.

It looked like the Teardrop Holy Grail was right in front of them, and Ashimi was even more excited than usual.

Seeing that the gravel didn't work, Esti reached out and grabbed the ground.

Following Esti's movement, two huge boulders were condensed and smashed towards Bai Shi and Ashimi.

After condensing his body, Ashmi rushed towards the upside-down Esti at a rapid speed.

This time, the weapon she held was the Lianxing Sword in the hands of the demi-human swordsman.

Facing the boulder coming towards him, Ashimi put the Lianxing Sword back to his waist and increased his speed again.

A cold glow of magic shone on the curved blade of the Lianxing Sword, and a bit of starlight moved along the pyroxene on the blade towards the tip of the sword.

As the starlight reached the tip of the sword, Ashimi swung the sword, and icy cold air immediately filled the ruins of the dynasty.

The chaotic cold sword energy slashed out in a circle, surrounding Ashimi's body tightly.

The huge rock released by the upside-down Esti was cut into small pieces in the air by Ashmi.

When the cold sword energy dissipated, there was no trace of Ashmi in front of Esti, and only rubble and frozen river water were left on the ground.

Esti twisted her body, trying to find Ashmi.

However, the body that had not completed the transformation was too slow, and even such a simple movement was very slow.

When Esti found Ashmi again, she was already right in front of him. With the help of the Lianxing Sword, Ashmi escaped into the starlight and instantly attacked Esti, who was hanging upside down.

The Lianxing Sword in her hand was lit up with tiny dots of starlight, densely arranged like real stars.

Deep blue magic power spread from the sword, and a dazzling starlight formed an illusory blade, slashing towards Esti.

Imitating the previous battle between Bai Shi and the demi-human swordsman in the prison, Ashimi used Ongi's special skill.

The sword swept left and right as Ashmi moved, easily cutting Esti's body into several pieces.

As Ashimi spun in the air, the last sword slashed from top to bottom, splitting the upside-down pale skull of Esti in two.

Seeing how Ashimi could easily replicate the moves of the Demi-Human Sword Saint and was even able to use the Star Chain, Bai Shi nodded in surprise.

Ashmi now not only copies his own power, but also has his own learning ability.

Because of the characteristics of the mimetic teardrop, she learns incredibly quickly.

Ashmi is now becoming more and more like a real human being.

At first, Ashmi only had an imitated appearance and the common sense instilled by the Knox Dynasty.

But she is completely unable to understand these things in her essence, she is just wearing human skin.

Now, Ashimi has gradually become a real human being through constant contact with humans.

The Knox Dynasty's teardrop-like technology was actually completed at the last moment.

Ashmi's existence is the best proof.

As long as there is a strong enough imitation object as a host, Ashimi can exert extremely strong combat power.

Even if it's not Ashimi, the other replicant tears are quite powerful.

Unfortunately, the 'Eternal City' at that time had already taken certain actions that brought upon it divine punishment.

Because of that action without knowing the truth, the Knox Dynasty blasphemed the 'Supreme Will'.

There was a gap in the fighting power of the "Eternal City". In the end, such a powerful dynasty did not even have someone who could fight against Esti.

Without an object to imitate, the mimetic tears are useless.

Be it the replicant tears or the dragon soldiers, none of them had the chance to show their strength, and they were buried deep underground along with the destruction of the 'Eternal City'.

Otherwise, even if they couldn't win, the 'Eternal City' wouldn't be destroyed so easily by Esti and the others.

After moving his body for a while, Ashimi dissipated again and turned into a silver mist and returned to Bai Shi's body.

By the way, Ashmi also brought back a piece of trophy picked up from the upside-down Esti.

Discolored Forging Stone7.

Although Bai Shi is not short of forging stones now, the more forging stones of this high quality the better.

After getting rid of the upside-down Esti, Bai Shi turned his attention to the ruins of the ancient dynasty here.

The civilization here should have belonged to the Uru Dynasty, which is of the same lineage as the Ude Dynasty on earth.

Unlike the Ude Dynasty on earth, the place is now in complete ruins.

The clay people wandering here are the last inhabitants, and they still leave a vivid trace of the existence of the ancient dynasty.

In addition, these huge braziers are still burning for some reason.

I don’t know if it’s because there are clay men constantly adding fuel to it, or if it’s some black technology from the ancient dynasty.

There were some clay figures in the ruins walking towards Bai Shi, but their movements were too slow.

Bai Shi watched for a long time but couldn't tell whether they were moving towards him or just wandering aimlessly.

Bai Shi simply passed through them directly, and they had no way to deal with it.

Ignoring these clay figures, Bai Shi began collecting among the ruins.

Soon, Bai Shi collected a large number of various cemetery lilies of the valley nearby.

The quantity and quality of these lilies of the valley are quite good, so I'll leave them to Roderica later.

In addition, Bai Shi also found the ashes of two clay priests.

Unlike ordinary clay figures holding harpoons, clay figure priests can use oracle bubbles and oracle big bubbles.

Although I couldn't figure out what they were for, I took them away anyway.

After searching the ruins, Bai Shi walked forward and hung upside down where Esti had been originally.

In the middle of the two huge statues of sages, behind the huge archway is the only way to the "Eternal City" Noxstella.

But there is another place between here and Nox Stella.

Bai Shi sighed.

Is it finally coming?
If possible, he actually didn't want to go this route.

Because right ahead is a huge anthill filled with giant ants.

Bai Shi doesn't have any particular aversion to giant ants, he just thinks it's okay as long as they are not giant cockroaches.

If it was a giant cockroach, Bai Shi would definitely turn around and leave.

Or they would only go in if it is completely burned without leaving any ashes.

However, once the number of these giant ants increases, the impact on the spirit is quite large.

Bai Shi released starlight above his head, and the road ahead was suddenly illuminated.

Looking at the bright road ahead, Bai Shi finally walked into the downward passage ahead.

Just after taking a few steps inside, a series of rustling sounds were heard from within the cave.

A group of huge red and white ants appeared in front of Bai Shi. There were dozens of them, filling the entire passage from top to bottom.

When Bai Shi saw this scene, his scalp tightened involuntarily.

Bai Shi quickly released a flame from his hand, and the surging flames immediately formed a vortex, sweeping down the passage.

After a struggle, the ants above the cave fell down like dumplings.

The corpses of these ants fell on the bodies of their kind on the ground, and then they were all smashed into ashes and scattered.

The flying ashes on the ground flowed along with the water and returned to the ant nest.

After a few seconds, the entire cave began to tremble under the intensive footsteps.

Just by listening to the noise, Bai Shi could feel the terrifying number of ants that were about to appear.

Bai Shi licked his lips, and the flame in his hand did not stop at all, sweeping towards the cave in front.

After a long time, there were finally no more ants in the cave in front of Bai Shi.

Bai Shi remained vigilant until he was sure that no more ants came out to die, and then he felt relieved.

Looking at the ant ashes that could hardly be washed away by water, Bai Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the number of ants in the cave should be acceptable, right?

Bai Shi walked into the ant nest.

All I saw was the nest was filled with piles of corpses, and the ants had completely disappeared.

The ants abandoned the invaded nest and chose to move to another place, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Looking at the many broken corpses wearing Dujuan gear, Bai Shi was stunned for a moment.

"Dujuan's body?"

"Hmm...it's still fresh..."
