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

Ye Yiyi put down his weapon and looked at the things in front of him.

The light did not come from the enemy, but from a deep red translucent light curtain standing across the tunnel.

Through the light curtain, you can clearly see the deep tunnel filled with skeletons behind.

Ye Yiyi reached out and touched it, and was surprised to find that this light curtain was solid.

Not only that, wherever the fingers touched, the light curtain rippled like water waves.

This deep red light curtain was like a seal, blocking the road in front and preventing any possibility of passage.

"I understand the sealing light curtain, but why do you want to seal this road?"

Ye Yiyi pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

There are several possibilities for blocking the road.

Or maybe this is an escape tunnel, sealed to prevent anyone from escaping without permission.

Or this road leads to a dangerous area, where there are dangers everywhere and many enemies, and the light curtain is a protective measure.

Looking at the map, Ye Yiyi felt that the second guess was most likely.

"It's absolutely impossible to go back and take a detour. It would waste too much time."

In this case, the only way is to find a way to dismantle this light curtain.

In many places in the game, there are such sealing light curtains blocking the way.

There are generally three ways to pass through the sealing light curtain.

One is to get some special props that can pass through the light curtain without destroying it.

In other words, a pass.

The second is to kill the sealer who set the seal, which is very similar to the locking fog wall that appears when fighting some bosses.

The blocking fog wall will not disappear unless the boss is killed.

Similarly, the light curtain will not disappear unless the sealer is killed.

In this case, the sealer will generally not be too far away from the light curtain.

Because it is too far away, the sealing light curtain cannot exist.

Now that the bishop who was most likely the sealer was dead, there was only one possibility left.

Near the sealing light curtain, there is an energy source that maintains its seal.

Ye Yiyi searched around and cleared out all the bones and rubble on the ground. Then, under the pile of bones right in front of the light curtain, he found five blood-coated beads emitting a faint red light.

There were five bloodthirsty beads arranged in a pentagram formation, and below them, there was a strange pattern drawn with blood bead powder.

"This should be the energy source of the light curtain."

Ye Yiyi looked up at the light curtain in amazement.

"This guy is so wealthy that he actually uses five bloodthirsty beads for energy. There must be something extraordinary behind this tunnel!"

He leaned over and picked up the blood-coated beads in the array without encountering any obstacles along the way.

"It seems this is a one-way defensive passage. Otherwise, the placement of the beads would be too random."

As the bead was picked up, the pentagram array became ineffective, and the crimson sealing light curtain in front of him dimmed and disappeared.

"The seal is lifted!"

He looked down, and the blood-coated beads in his hand collapsed, turning into crimson sand that fell from between his fingers.

"It seems that the blood power in the bead has been used up."

Ye Yiyi picked up the staff and continued to move forward.

The road ahead may not be as peaceful as before.

As he continued to move forward, Ye Yiyi could faintly hear the sound of flowing water through the thick stone wall.

"Is this an underground river? No, this should be the sound of sewage flowing through the drainage pipes?"

Ye Yiyi was a little curious. After so many years, there were still working drainage pipes?

"Maybe it's because it's raining outside, so the sewer pipes are working properly."

"Crack!"

As he was thinking, he stepped on another bone and broke it.

This kick seemed to trigger some signal.

"Click, click, click..."

A faint sound came from under his feet. Ye Yiyi looked down and saw that the bones in the rubble were shaking.

"Absolutely! They're really skeleton soldiers!"

Ye Yiyi showed a look of surprise, took a step back slightly, and at the same time took out the servant hammer.

The bones on the ground moved without wind and gathered together out of thin air, piecing together a skeleton from nothing.

Through the empty eye sockets, Ye Yiyi saw a wisp of black smoke curling out of the skull.

"It's indeed a cursed creation. This thing is much more terrifying than an alien god. No wonder the Holy Blood Cult wants to seal this road."

The skeleton reached out and touched the top of his forehead, as if to confirm whether the head was properly installed.

"What's this ancestral head-patting thing?"

Then it turned around with a creaking sound and looked at Ye Yiyi.

"Boom!"

The skeleton's skull flew off and sank deep into the dark tunnel.

"Perfect!"

Ye Yiyi smiled, holding the slave hammer in both hands, with a cool posture as if he was swinging a baseball bat.

The skeleton was stunned and reached out to touch his head, but found nothing.

"Click!"

The skeleton that had just been put together suddenly fell to the ground.

Ye Yiyi glanced at the light curtain, but did not see the soul echo jump out.

"Just like in the game, it's impossible to kill it in one go."

He walked past the skeleton rack and headed deeper into the corridor.

After a while, a skull appeared in front of him, with its jaw opening and closing continuously and making a "crunching" sound.

"So, the skull is the real body?"

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment, then swung the hammer and smashed the skull that made the noise into pieces.

"Shut up! You bastard!"

Soul Echo +121

The soul echoed and Ye Yiyi nodded with satisfaction.

This is much higher than knights and priests!

Continue to move deeper, and skeletons will keep crawling up from the ground along the way.

While the skeleton was freely assembling, Ye Yiyi grabbed the skull and smashed it to pieces with a hammer.

Then he smiled as he watched the skeletons scattered all over the floor.

Anyway, these skeletons have no weapons and are not a big threat, so Ye Yiyi just treats them as entertainment.

But as they went deeper, skeletons appeared more and more frequently, the tunnel in front of them became wider and wider, and the sound of flowing water coming from the stone walls became louder and louder.

"I should be almost there, right?"

He smashed a skull casually and looked at the bones scattered on the ground, thinking in his heart.

Finally, after walking through a slightly winding tunnel, Ye Yiyi's eyes suddenly opened up.

"Wow! It's so big!"

Chapter 82 Underground Caves and Lava Sea

"Wow! It's so big!"

Ye Yiyi looked at the empty scene that suddenly appeared in front of him and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"This is actually an underground cave?!"

Looking up, you can see numerous stalactites emitting bright cold light.

They stand in the gray-white karst craters that look like those left by meteorite impacts. Some stalactites are even so high that they are connected to the top of the cave, like a huge cold light tube.

These karst pits, arranged layer by layer like terraces, filled the cave in front of Ye Yiyi.

And those pits are covered with a layer of crystal clear lake water like turquoise gems.

These lakes are fed by cracks in the cave walls.

The lake water flows out from the cracks, filling a thin layer of the pit, and then flows continuously to the lower layer along the "terrace", and finally falls into a large stone pit covering a large area.

Eventually, the lake water will overflow from the edge of the pit, turning into a huge waterfall and pouring down to a deeper level.

The sound of water that Ye Yiyi heard on the way came from that waterfall.

Looking at this scene, Ye Yiyi always had a sense of unreality as if time and space were distorted.

"I was in an underground pipe before, how did I suddenly end up in an underground cave?

"And I haven't heard there's a cave under the capital, have I?"

As he thought about it, he casually took a step to the side.

A skeleton running from behind slammed on the brakes, almost failing to stop, and finally stopped at the edge of the cliff.

It touched its forehead and seemed to be relieved.

"Goodbye!"

Then a kick came from behind, and the skeleton flew out in a spin, finally landing in a large pit covered with a thin layer of water, and was smashed into pieces.

"Humph! You're running with parts dropping onto the ground, making such a deafening noise. Are you afraid I won't know you're coming?"

Ye Yiyi snorted disdainfully, then summoned the light screen map and carefully explored his current location.

His current location was a cliff with a hole cut into the rock wall.

However, not only was this cave not marked on the map, the map also showed Ye Yiyi in a pipe.

"What does it mean?"

He turned the map over and over in confusion. There was no pipeline here at all, so why was the location displayed in the pipeline?

"Wait a minute, the map of this pipeline looks like it has a dark filter!"

He stretched out his hand and tapped on the light screen. Then, he didn't know what he tapped, and the filter on the map suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, the arrow symbolizing Ye Yiyi also became solid.

"Huh? Doesn't this mean upper and lower floors?"

Ye Yiyi seemed to understand something, and then looked up.

At the top of the cave, among the densely packed stalactites that looked like spike traps, there were dark metal pipes visible.

"I understand! This cave is located even below the capital's sewers!"

Ye Yiyi suddenly understood, and felt a sense of surprise as if he had discovered a treasure.

Who knew that there was an extremely open area under the sewer!

"This map is becoming more and more three-dimensional. Now I should find a way to go up it."

He pushed the light curtain aside, then took out a telescope and looked at the cave below.

"That is……"
