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

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly, a sound of heavy footsteps came from above, like a tank with legs moving forward, and the ground trembled with every step.

A huge shadow was cast, and Ye Yi instinctively looked up, cursing in his heart, "Fuck!"

A giant who was more than three meters tall, wearing heavy armor, with a big sword on his waist and a big shield on his back, appeared at the top of the stairs.

The knight stopped, lowered his bucket helmet, and a pair of eyes flashing blood-red light looked through the gap in the helmet.

"His eyes glowed red, like those of a blood-thirsty patient who's had an attack... but judging by his behavior, he didn't seem to have lost his mind."

Ye Yiyi thought about it and was hesitating whether to take out his weapon, but the giant in front of him suddenly turned sideways and made way for the blocked staircase.

"Damn it! You scared me! I thought we couldn't get up here!"

Ye Yiyi cursed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He nodded slightly to the knight and stepped into the passage.

The Holy Blood Knight also nodded slightly in response, then walked down the stairs with a "clang! clang!" sound and headed to the lower level.

"This is too exciting." Ye Yiyi patted his chest lightly.

This three-meter-tall Holy Blood Knight stood there like a small mountain!

If he picked up the big sword at his waist and chopped him down, he might be able to chop him into the ground with one blow!

After the knight left, Ye Yiyi looked around and took in the environment on the upper level.

This is also a wide corridor with a layout similar to the lower level, but it is a little more detailed.

However, apart from the Holy Blood Knight who came before, there were no Holy Blood Priests here, which made it seem very deserted.

Ye Yiyi stepped into the corridor on the right and found that there were many steel doors displayed there.

He tried pushing, but the steel door wouldn't budge.

"Looks like I need a key."

Ye Yiyi took out the key chain and looked for the corresponding symbols on the key according to the symbols marked with white strokes on the door.

After a while, he found the key with the same symbol.

"These symbols are most likely numbers." Ye Yiyi thought.

Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it gently, and the steel door opens.

"Who?"

Behind the door, a Holy Blood Priest who was sitting at the bedside desk turned around in surprise.

"Fuck! So this is the bedroom!"

Ye Yiyi's expression darkened, and he immediately stepped forward, took out a silver-cast iron throwing knife, covered the mouth of the Holy Blood Priest with one hand, who had a horrified expression, and stabbed the silver-cast iron throwing knife into the priest's throat with the other hand.

"Uh...uh..."

Blood flowed from his throat, and all the strength of the priest was gone. After a weak struggle, he died.

"That was a close call! That was a close call! Luckily I reacted quickly..."

After gently placing the priest's body on the bed, Ye Yiyi quickly closed the bedroom door and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the other party shouts out, he will be exposed!

Only after killing the priest did he look around the bedroom.

Suddenly, something on the desk caught his attention.

Ye Yiyi showed a look of joy, "Could this be..."

Chapter 75 [Hymns of Beasts and Birds] (Updated 5/16)

"Could this be the hymn praising the Lord of Holy Blood?!"

On the desk in front of him, in addition to the ink bottle and quill pen, there were also many yellowed papers and a book with a blood-red cover.

Ye Yiyi showed a look of joy. If this was really the hymn book, then half of his purpose of going to the Church of the Holy Blood would have been achieved!

He picked up the blood-red book, and a light curtain popped out.

[Hymns of Beasts and Birds]

"what?"

Ye Yi opened his mouth wide, looking a little confused.

"Beasts and birds? Shouldn't it be the Lord of Holy Blood?"

He continued to look down.

[Hymns of Beasts and Birds]

Requirements: Faith 22

Attribute correction: Faith B

Durability: 123/130

Skill cost: 15

Item Description: A book of hymns praising animals and birds.

A hymn book held by the shepherds of the Shepherds of the Beasts.

Psalms that can strengthen beasts and birds.

Wild beasts are born in the wilderness, and birds are born in the mountains and forests.

The pure wildness under the laws of nature is the pure faith that shepherds can only dream of.

Combat Skill: Roar of the Beast

Imitating the terrifying roar of an angry beast can boost morale, dispel abnormal status, and temporarily increase energy recovery speed.

Possessing hymn chapters: [Wild Hunt], [Nature's Law], [Call the Eagle to Dive], [Gallop]

"Uh……"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was confused.

"Another Hymn Catalyst I've never seen before... What is the Beast Shepherds? Why haven't I heard of this name?"

This wasn't the first time he'd come across an item that wasn't in the game.

For example, at the beginning, in the Poison Basin of the Fairy Mountains, he found the Flying Insect Hymn in the ruined magician tower.

He had never seen that hymn book in the game.

I also saw the hymn called "Metamorphosis" for the first time.

Now he has found a hymn book about animals and birds. How can Ye Yiyi not be confused?

Some people in front praise the flying insects, and some people behind praise the beasts and birds.

This is outrageous. Although there is freedom of belief, there is no need to praise everything we encounter, right?

Looking down at the dung beetle sticking its head out from his robe, Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and spoke to it.

"Little dung beetle! You're in luck!"

"?"

The dung beetle waved its tentacles and looked at Ye Yiyi in confusion.

"I mean, when I get back and start raising my faith, I'm going to write a hymn in praise of dung beetles, with you as the protagonist... Ugh! I mean a hymn in praise of the Lord of Dung Beetles!"

"???"

After stuffing the confused "Lord of the Dung Beetle" back into his robe, Ye Yiyi glanced through the hymn chapters in the hymn book, and then his eyes lit up.

"Are these all auxiliary and functional hymns?"

For example, the effect of [Wild Hunt] is very simple - it increases physical attack power.

And this [Law of Nature] is a hymn used to bully weak enemies. Its effect can be roughly described as: if the enemy is weaker than you, make the enemy weaker and make you stronger!

In other words, this is the law of the jungle.

"It is indeed the naked law of nature." Ye Yiyi sighed.

As for [Call the Eagle to Dive], it does not mean calling an eagle to dive down from the sky to attack the enemy, but gliding from a high altitude for a very long distance like an eagle.

The effect is equivalent to "paragliding."

"Oh no, now I'm Link!"

Ye Yiyi stared at his right hand and fell into deep thought.

Should he chop off his right hand and find an ancient Fury to replace it with an ultimate hand?

The last one is [Gallop], the effect is also very simple - increase movement speed.

These are all hymns that Ye Yiyi has never seen in the game.

"Since there are so many new kinds of hymns, there should be new kinds of magic as well."

Ye Yiyi thought to himself, and then he thought of the magic created by the insect magician that was not in the game.

"Adding so many new things, this pioneering work is so cool!" Ye Yiyi exclaimed.

After putting away the [Hymn Book of Beasts and Birds], he continued to check the table and picked up the yellowed white papers.

There was a long string of words written on the paper in a rather fancy handwriting that Ye Yiyi couldn't understand.

After looking at it for a while, he felt dizzy and had the illusion of spreading out a Latin textbook, so he simply looked directly at the light curtain.

【Hemolytic Weapon】

Spell Slots: 1

Skill cost: 20

Requirements: Faith 18

Item Description: One of the hymns praising the Lord of Holy Blood.

Can give weapons a bleeding effect,

After hitting the enemy, the hemolysis will stop temporarily, and the blood bar will continue to slowly accumulate.

It is said that the Lord of Holy Blood is a natural god born from holy blood.

In order to compete with the gods for the food of faith, he gave his followers hemolytic weapons.

This is a hymn sung by believers to praise this act.

"Wow! I haven't even found the Holy Blood Lord's hymn book yet, and I've already obtained the hymn praising the Holy Blood Lord."

Ye Yiyi glanced at the item description and raised his eyebrows.

"This hymn's effect adds a bleeding effect to weapons, overlapping in functionality with the Blood Bead."

There were still hundreds of blood-coated beads in Ye Yiyi's four-dimensional chrysanthemum, which could not be used up in a short period of time.

It cannot be said that this hymn is completely useless; it can only be said that it is of no use at all.

Putting the yellowed white paper away, Ye Yiyi went on to check the next one.

Blood-soaking Ceremony
