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

When the dragon claws dispersed the black fog, it roared loudly.

"Now!"

Ye Yiyi placed the spear at his waist, concentrating his mind, and then launched the combat skill [Charge and Stab]!

On the simplified light screen beside him, the concentration value representing the blue bar dropped from 68 to 58.

"Here we go! Unintelligent creation!"

Ye Yiyi shouted loudly, then took a step forward, his body almost turning into a lightning afterimage!

The power of thunder and lightning attached to its body gathered at one point, and the gun tip flashing with lightning pierced through the thin and ethereal black fog, moving from far to near without any delay, and finally landed on the forehead of the unconscious creature!

With a "clang" sound!

The cast iron spear head was completely immersed in the non-intelligent object.

The power of thunder and lightning surged, spreading rapidly around the body along the pitch-black steel shell!

"It's going to explode! Retreat!"

Ye Yiyi raised his head and roared, then let go of the spear in his hand and ran backwards.

Upon seeing this, the Hellfire Dragon released the paralyzed mindless creature, flapped its wings to stir up a strong wind, and its huge body suddenly retreated.

Large swathes of purple lightning raged wildly on the unconscious creature that remained in place, and dazzling sparks continued to burst out from the cracks in the steel.

Finally, the giant steel puppet lost power with a loud bang and turned into black mist and dissipated into thin air.

【The curse has been lifted! 】

Soul Echo +3300!

The proficiency of the combat skill [Dash and Stab] (1/30) has been improved!

On the simplified light screen beside Ye Yiyi, several rows of bright red characters appeared out of thin air.

"Finally done!"

Ye Yiyi let out a long breath, the lightning on his body dissipated, and then he collapsed to the ground powerlessly, looked up at the blue sky, and laughed heartily.

Unexpectedly, the extremely powerful Chujiansha BOSS in the game was killed so easily by him and the Flame Prison Dragon!

The Hellfire Dragon and I are so awesome!

"Brave human hero, it is thanks to you that we can destroy the evil."

The huge head of the Fire Hell Dragon suddenly appeared above Ye Yiyi, casting a large shadow.

"This is a relic left behind by the iron monster after its death, and it is also your trophy!"

Chapter 4 [Universal Cauldron] and [Cursed Bottle]

"Trophy?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

After all the hard work of defeating monsters, there must be rewards. Great! The old monster exploded with gold coins!

"Let me see."

He sat up and took a piece of ordinary... pottery from the shiny black claws of the Fire Hell Dragon?

The Fire Hell Dragon retracted its claws, squatted on the spot like a big cat, and let out a dull growl.

"This item may seem ordinary, but it is a precious relic from the ancient times when kings ruled the land. Don't underestimate it."

"So awesome?! Wait, I think I know what this is."

Ye Yiyi looked at the light curtain on the "pottery fragment".

[Remaining fragments of the universal cauldron]

Item Description: A fragment of the universal cauldron once used by one of the ancient kings, the "Heavenly Forger".

It has the abilities of "differentiation," "fusion," "manufacturing," and "recording," and can be used to craft various items. However, due to being broken, the Universal Cauldron lost most of its "recording."

Collecting Universal Cauldron fragments can increase the types of crafting items.

The Heavenly Forger, who harnesses the power of heaven and earth to forge wondrous objects, is the metaphysical being of the workshop.

Ye Yiyi was delighted after reading the contents of the screen.

It turns out to be this!

In the game, the universal cauldron is not only a necessary item for players to make various props, but also an extremely important plot item.

In the later stages of the game, when players travel to the broken continent where the land nations are located in [Border], they will need to use the assembled universal cauldron to open the workshop of the Heavenly Creator.

But let’s not talk about what will happen in the later stages for now. What really makes Ye Yiyi happy is that after getting the universal cauldron and a corresponding piece of fragment, he can create the most practical output item in the early stages.

And the corresponding fragment...

Ye Yiyi looked up and glanced at the endless mountains in the distance.

...hidden in the ancient ruins of this fairy mountain range!

"Seeing your delighted expression, I know this item is quite to your liking."

The Dragon of Hellfire lowered its massive head. "Then, hero of humanity! Please accept this as a token of gratitude for fighting alongside me!"

Anything else for me?

Ye Yiyi looked up at the Fire Prison Dragon in disbelief.

Brother Gu Long, are you really not giving Bao Longzi away?

Then he smiled, rubbing his hands together and said, "Haha, I'm so sorry, just take the spoils. Of course, if it's a gem like the one we got before... I can accept it if you insist on giving it to me."

The Fire Dragon was silent for a moment, thinking that he was indeed a hero of mankind. It would take him ten thousand years to learn such a shameless skill.

It stretched out its dragon claws, silently scratched the scales on its neck, dropped two small bottles, and handed them to Ye Yiyi with shining eyes.

The Dragon of Hellfire spoke, "Nameless human hero, I imagine you have also awakened from your slumber, with the goal of finding your name and defeating the Fallen King.

"This item was given to me by the Holy Maiden of the Cursed Temple. It has the power to restore life. Unfortunately, I am too big to use it, so I am giving it to you. I hope it will be of some use."

Ye Yiyi took the two exquisite bottles wrapped in gold wire, looked down at them, and was immediately stunned.

[Cursed Bottle]

Item Description: A unique creation of the Cursed Temple, a holy grail bottle born from both curse and blessing.

After filling up the Blessing Drop, use it to restore health and focus.

Resting at the Holy Monument will replenish your energy.

To defeat the Decayed King and remove the curse, the unknown hero awakens from his grave.

This gift to the unsung hero is both a blessing and a curse.

Ye Yiyi thought to himself that he was familiar with this thing!

The one placed in Dark Souls is the Elemental Bottle, and the one placed in the Ring of Magic is the Chalice Bottle. In layman's terms, they are the Blood Bottle and the Blue Bottle.

But if he remembered correctly, these two bottles should be handed to him personally by the Holy Lady of the Cursed Temple as proof of his status as an unknown hero after he arrived at the Temple.

Ye Yiyi looked up at the Fire Prison Dragon with a strange expression.

Moreover, the Dragon of Hellfire himself is one of the unsung heroes who returned from death.

What does it mean that it handed the "Curse Bottle" that symbolizes curse and blessing to itself?

Feeling Ye Yiyi's strange gaze, the Fire Prison Dragon slightly shifted his gaze away.

"Hero of humanity, seek the Holy Monument. It is the resting place of ancient heroes and a place of rest and refuge. It can also lead you to the Cursed Temple. There, the Holy Maiden of the Temple will show you the way.

“Also, if you leave the Fairy Mountains to the north, you will reach the Forest Mist Plain, which is where the capital of the Principality of Rit is located and is also the only way to the [Southern Border].

"Well, hero of humanity, we'll meet again someday. May you find your own name."

After saying this, the Hellfire Dragon flapped its four wings, stirring up a strong wind, and its huge body soared into the air.

Ye Yiyi looked up, suddenly remembered something, and shouted loudly.

"Wait a minute! Brother Gu Long, if I want to find you later, where should I go?"

A dull dragon roar was heard, along with the huge sound of a giant creature breaking through the air.

"West of the Forest Mist Plains, the Hellfire Volcano."

Watching the dark ancient dragon disappear on the other side of the mountain, Ye Yiyi withdrew his gaze with some disappointment.

What a wonderful dragon! It brought me so many good things. And it flies so fast! I should have let it take me for a ride.

Ye Yiyi lowered his head in thought.

As for the last words of the Dragon of Hellfire - may you find your own name.

The so-called unsung heroes actually mean what they say.

Namely, the heroes who have lost their names.

They were already dead, but were awakened from death by the Cursed Temple.

This awakening is not without a price, and the price is the names of the heroes...

Names are important things and are the link between people and the world.

Not all heroes can accept this price.

Perhaps, this includes the Dragon of Hellfire.

Ye Yiyi sighed. Now that Brother Gu Long had flown away, he didn't know whether he was still alive or not.

He looked around and ran over to pick up the spear.

【Principality Soldier Spear】

Durability: 78/100

Combat Skill Proficiency: [Dash and Strike] (1/30)

Well, with a durability of 78, it’s not a big problem and can still be used.

As for combat proficiency, this is easy to understand.

Every time a player consumes concentration points to use combat skills and successfully completes the attack, his proficiency will increase by one point.

Once the proficiency bar is full, the player will have "learned" the skill. Using other weapons at this point will also allow the player to use the learned skill by consuming focus points.

For Ye Yiyi of the Hamster Party, collecting weapons and learning many combat skills is also a kind of fun.

After putting away his spear, he picked up the cursed bottle in his hand, shook it and looked at it.

There are still quite a few drops of Blessing Water left in the red bottle, enough for about three sips. The blue bottle is a little less, probably only enough for one sip.

However, once you find the holy monument, you can transfer the drops of blessing in the red bottle to the blue bottle.

After all, Ye Yiyi now has infinite life and does not need the red bottle at all. As long as the concentration value is sufficient, he can continue to use combat skills to output.

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi raised the red bottle, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.

“Dudu…ha! So cool!”

Ye Yiyi smacked his lips and thought it tasted better than Red Bull and more like Monster.

From now on, the red bottle will be called Red Devil’s Claw, and the blue bottle will be called Blue Devil’s Claw!

Let’s take a look at the universal cauldron.

Ye knocked on the broken pieces of the universal cauldron, and a cool feeling suddenly surged into his brain, along with various information.

"Let me see what items I can make in the initial state. Hmm, rainbow stone, secret pickled meat, wooden arrows, throwing knives..."

"Only four, it feels a bit too few."

Ye Yiyi recalled the item introduction in the game: the rainbow stone is similar to a road sign, and it will emit rainbow light when left on the ground.

It’s just that this light is invisible to ordinary people, only unsung heroes can see it, so it can serve as a signpost.

As for the secret cured meat, the raw materials are made from wild beasts. It can slowly restore a small amount of health and fill the stomach.

Its positioning is similar to the dripping stone in Soul 2 that is expelled from the soul register on a daily basis. Both are recovery methods that replace blood bottles.

As for wooden arrows and throwing knives, there is no need to explain much about these two.
