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

"Yes, the Deep Hollow."

Alatron patted the shoulder of the boy next to him and smiled at Norsley again.

"As I said before, that place was built by the Witch-sama. It is the abode of the dead."

Before we knew it, the topic had come full circle and returned to the starting point.

"The witch... is in the Deep Depression?"

Norsley's tone was a little dazed, "So, it's so close?"

"I've heard from Kanol that you, my lady, are also looking for the witch, right?"

"Hmm...that mysterious depression, where can I go to find her?"

“I don’t know where exactly it is.”

Alatron shook his head, and the psychic lady pursed her lips expressionlessly.

Fortunately, she has no feelings or emotions, so she won't be disappointed.

But Ye Yiyi noticed that the dead people behind him were not disappointed. Instead, a hint of hope and yearning emerged from the depths of their eyes.

He looked thoughtfully at Aratron and heard him continue.

"The witch's abode is a strange space, not on the border. It is an ancient cemetery from the distant past. Only those recognized by the witch and holding the seal of the cursed can enter."

"Then... do you have it?" asked Norsley.

"Of course... yes."

Alatron remained calm in the face of the dead, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Since you distinguished guests have come from afar, why don't you take a rest in the village first?"

Ye Yiyi and Norsley looked at each other and both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Aratron was lying, he didn't have the seal.

He said this to the dead.

"No need to rest, I still have important things to do." Ye Yiyi sighed slightly and declined politely.

"Important matter? To be honest with you, Master Gu Long, I have done some research on this place. I wonder what exactly it is? Can I help?"

"Yes……"

"Roar!!"

Ye Yiyi was about to speak when he suddenly heard a sharp roar, followed by a dazzling purple beam of light shooting from the ground into the air.

“Heaven…heaven!”

The dead boy stared at the sky and screamed in shock.

"The stars...the stars were shot down!"

Chapter 361 The Dragon of Progress, Great Progress!

"The stars were shot down?"

Hearing the screams of the deceased boy, Ye Yiyi was shocked.

But the first thing he thought of was not the stars, but the sudden dragon roar.

Could it be that the Dragon of Yanjin has already woken up?

He quickly turned around and looked up, and saw a purple pillar of light spanning the sky and earth, standing next to the Day and Moon Tower in the center of the city.

The light was so dazzling that it even completely obscured the moonlight from the nearby daytime moon, dyeing almost half of the city purple.

Ye Yiyi was stunned and suddenly felt a little surprised and confused.

"Isn't this the pillar of light that knocked the Dragon of Evolution down from the sky?"

He still remembered that when he saw the Yanjin Dragon being shot down by the stars, it was attacked by the same beam of light as this one.

But this beam of light was supposed to come from the stars...

He looked up at the top of the light column, and saw a star in the shape of a canoe, which was now being pierced directly through the bottom of the boat by the light column.

Hazy light spots spread out from the hull, and then the hull broke into pieces and fell diagonally from the air.

"Om~~~"

A long and sad wail sounded in the sky, like a small boat destroyed by huge waves, about to fall into the "seabed" called earth.

"The star... was killed?"

Behind him, Alatron stared blankly at the falling stars, muttering in confusion.

"...But in this city, who can shoot down the stars?"

"Boom!!!"

As the stars fell and the pillars of light disappeared, a strange buzzing sound could be heard again in the sky.

It seemed like a signal, and a large number of stars gathered from all directions of the city, including the starfish that Ye Yiyi had seen before, the scorpion with a lantern hanging on its tail, and the Pegasus with wings running in the sky.

At this moment, they gathered beside the Day-Moon Tower, like the moon guarding the center of the tower. The mist of various colors gathered together and turned into a thick nebula in an instant, covering the sky above the city.

The next moment, a heart-pounding meteor shower fell from the sky.

"Roar!!"

The roar of an angry dragon resounded through heaven and earth, and a pillar of purple light shot into the sky again, hitting a star that looked like a swimming fish.

"Om~~~"

The fish swung its star-shaped tail, which was as long as its body, with a whimpering sound, and disappeared into the void, avoiding the fatal beam of light.

As a result, the meteor shower's attack became more and more fierce, mixed with various attacks from stars in different shapes.

"Om!!"

A deep purple ring appeared out of thin air beneath the nebula, and several meteorites wrapped in flames fell from it.

"boom!!"

A huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the steel city trembled in the explosion. The violent shock wave crossed the many high towers and swept across the entire city. The fierce wind blew in the face, blowing the dead people behind Aratron who were screaming in fear to the ground.

"Don't you want to know what my important business is?"

Ye Yiyi turned around against the strong wind, looked at the uneasy Aratron in the rising mushroom cloud of fire, and stretched out his sharp clawed thumb to point back at the mushroom cloud.

"That is one of the purposes of my trip, an extremely special flying dragon."

"Flying Dragon..."

Alatron also obviously heard the dragon's roar, and looked hesitant.

"But how could a flying dragon achieve this? And as far as I know, the only flying dragon in the area near Feilong Mountain is the Poisonous Flying Dragon..."

"It's the Poisonous Flying Dragon." Ye Yiyi said firmly, "I saw it go from the descending passage to the depths of the Dragon Soul Fortress with my own eyes. Angel saw it too."

"Yes, I saw it too." Angel nodded palely.

"How is it?" Ye Yiyi looked at the silent Alatron, "I plan to kill him, do you have any ideas?"

"I remember you said this was one of your goals? What about your other goals?"

"The others are: one is to enter the Day-Moon Tower, that tower... and destroy the alien moon in the tower... and the other is to destroy the stars and obtain the dust on them."

After a brief silence, Aratron raised his head, looked at Ye Yiyi, and nodded heavily!

"……I have!"

"Oh? Which one do you mean?"

"All!"

"interesting!"

Ye Yiyi couldn't help but smile, and Norsley beside her couldn't help but look at the magician.

They both realized that Alatron was telling the truth.

In other words, he did have a way to help Ye Yiyi.

"But why?" Ye Yiyi asked again:

"You've also contracted the Resurrection Disease, right? In other words, you're not a pure dead being now, you don't have immortality... and helping me would very likely put you in danger, or even death. Even so, you're still willing to help me?"

"You saved Kanol and the others..."

Alatron raised his head and looked at Ye Yiyi seriously.

"So I will definitely repay this favor...or rather, this life-saving grace!"

"I do not believe."

Ye Yiyi shook her head, and Norsley also lowered her lifeless eyes.

Once again, they realized that Alatreon was lying.

"……I knew it."

Alatron gave a wry smile but offered no explanation. Instead, he looked at the dead boy beside him.

"Kanor, lead everyone into the big tree hole. Don't come out of the tree hole until I come back."

"But..." The deceased boy was a little worried.

"Just listen to me."

Aratron smiled gently and looked up at the dead.

"I will come back and lead everyone to the resting place of the dead. That is my promise, so please believe me, just like when I led everyone to escape from the testing ground."

His words were gentle, yet full of convincing power.

The dead had no objections and retreated safely into the village, disappearing into the large wooden house in the distance.

Only when there was no one around him did Alatron look at Ye Yiyi helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face as if his lie had been exposed.

"...My clumsy lies were indeed full of flaws in the eyes of Master Gu Long..."

He bent down, knelt on one knee in front of Ye Yiyi, and bowed his head deeply to him.

"I dare not ask Lord Gu Long to forgive my deception, but I hope to demonstrate my worth and win your precious kindness and insignificant help."

"This……"

Seeing this scene, Ye Yiyi didn't react at all, but Angel was stunned.

It was precisely because he was also a magician that he knew how serious such etiquette was.

The first thing every aspiring magician must learn after entering the Hall of Stopping War is to forget about fear.

They are fearless. No matter whether it is the ancient ruins scattered across the land, or the ancient existences that have only appeared in legends, or even the stars in the sky, they are all objects that can be studied in the eyes of magicians.

They are the complete opposite of believers who worship a certain existence. Even ancient dragons are nothing more than powerful and peculiar beings in their eyes.

Therefore, they will not bow down to any existence, because sooner or later those things will be studied thoroughly by them and then trampled under their feet.

It is precisely because of this extreme lack of awe, desire for exploration and thirst for knowledge that led to the birth of many forbidden magics, and caused Ronmoya to suffer disaster and become a crystallized ruin.

Even so, the magicians have never lost their inherent pride.

In other words, it is almost impossible to make a magician kneel down willingly.

But Aratron did it anyway.

Angel couldn't imagine what kind of help could make a magician willing to give up his dignity and beg for it?

So he leaned over to Ye Yiyi, who was frowning, and briefly explained in his ear the significance of the kneeling ceremony for a magician.

Ye Yiyi's expression changed after hearing this, and the look he gave Alatron became strange.

Is there such a saying among magicians?

But come to think of it, the first book on concentration practice he got was the chapter about exploration and inquiry.

Study everything and elucidate the truth.

If we hold fear and awe in our hearts towards all things in nature, including the ancient dragons, how can we conduct research and even clarify the truth?
