Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Uncle Editor?" Elyse asked in surprise and delight, "Why are you here?"

"Because I noticed you came to an interesting place." Bai Yu looked around and touched his chin and said, "Is this hell?"

"Yes, but strictly speaking, this is the first of the Four Hells," Elyse explained, her little hand unconsciously lifting her hair to tidy up her appearance. At the same time, she glanced behind Bai Yu and asked in a feigned and innocent tone, "Is the editor alone?"

"I'm the only one here for now. If you feel lonely, I can also call Yu...Wuming Ghost over." Bai Yu's hands were already in the hand seals of spiritualism.

“No, no!” Elysee immediately waved her hand: “Sister Wuming is so busy, let’s not disturb her.”

The word 'disturb' is very well used.

Of course, Bai Yu didn't care about the little girl's inner thoughts at the moment. He was more interested in the newly opened map.

The copy is equivalent to the area where resources are produced, and it is also a box-style map, very similar to a certain six-character game with a colon.

The dragon vein is a straight road, which feels like climbing a tower. You will always encounter a gatekeeper every time you walk a certain distance.

What is the situation in hell?

Will it be that kind of open world with two words?

Bai Yu asked, "Do you know anything about hell?"

Elyse said, "I've read about the four levels of hell in a book. Each level has its own unique landscape and scenery."

"The standard scenery of the first level of hell is red earth and blood rain... The blood rain here almost never stops. It is the blood of sinners, and it is also the endless river of blood in hell."

"Every piece of land here is stained red with the blood of sinners, so everything in hell is filled with sin. The red rain is the same, and it will make our souls polluted by sin."

Bai Yu raised his hand to catch the red raindrops falling from the leaves: "Doesn't that mean that this blood rain is very dangerous?"

"It's okay. With a pardon, our sins will be cleansed upon leaving Hell. But we must be careful. Once we exceed the limit, we must leave Hell immediately, otherwise we will leave behind damage." Elyse said this before realizing, "But Editor, you don't seem to have a pardon."

"It's not a big deal." Bai Yu raised his hand, and the blood rain evaporated in his palm: "This thing can't pollute my soul."

He just tried it, but the red rain was swallowed by the gray fog as soon as it touched him.

The so-called sin appears very fragile in front of the power that can interfere with fate, and can even be regarded as a tonic.

【TIPS updated】

[One of the rules of hell: The rain here will pollute the soul, and amnesty is needed to cleanse the soul of pollution]

"Amnesty." Bai Yu raised an eyebrow: "Interesting design."

The supernatural systems of the East and the West are different, and even the development and use of realms are different.

He also glanced at the still falling bloody rain and asked, "Do we have to wait until the rain stops?"

Elise smiled and said, "Of course not... It's better to say that once you come to hell, you're bound to get wet. After all, no one brings an umbrella. The blood rain in the first level of hell isn't very dense, so even if you continue for ten hours straight, it won't have much of an impact."

She took a step forward, raised her hands to maintain her balance, and spun twice in the bloody rain. She stomped her feet in the drizzle, "There's really no problem. Let's go, Uncle Editor!"

Bai Yu nodded.

The two of them embarked on a journey to hell, one after the other.

If you come here alone, you will definitely feel bored and miserable... because the scenery in hell is really not worth mentioning, and even a bit monotonous.

Hills, plains, red soil, woods, and the occasional lakes are mostly stagnant water with sparse weeds. It is not as horrifying as described in Dante's Divine Comedy, but walking here will indeed give rise to a sincere feeling that "this is hell."

It is bare and there is nothing on it, as if it is a lifeless land.

Compared to here, the Dragon Vein Realm is much more lively. The scenery there changes every kilometer. Although it is a spliced rogue-like game, there are some changes in the scene, which shows that a lot of effort has been put into it.

But in hell, the scenery is all the same. After walking for more than ten minutes, Bai Yu began to wonder if he was lost. He always felt like he was walking around in the same place.

If it weren't for the little girl Elyse chattering like a lark, he might have already quit hell and given a 3-point bad review.

"So your roommates have started to get excited?" What Bai Yu heard most from the girl was about her roommates.

"Yes, but only a little bit." Elyse sighed softly. "It's impossible to expect them to strive for success. They're usually just short-lived... Angelica comes from a good family, so she won't have trouble finding a husband. Frey talks about wanting to work at the Roman City Hall, and she certainly has the emotional and intellectual quotient, but as long as Angelica's around, I think it'll be quite difficult for her to realize her dreams. As for Peggy... she's the very definition of laziness, so let's not talk about her."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Your roommates all have distinct personalities. They sound like they're all nice girls."

Elysee nodded. "I have my reservations about whether they are all good children, but... they are indeed very kind to me."

Miss Witch said somewhat lonely: "But we are not the same kind after all, and I will never be able to truly open my heart to them."

She was a Gorgon, and she had a blood feud to avenge. The time she spent with her roommate was ultimately tinged with falsehood, and this was something she couldn't let go of.

Bai Yu patted her head and said, "Everyone has their own secrets. No one can live like a blank sheet of paper. Even the best of friends can never be the same person."

"So... the editor uncle is the same?"

"Take me for example... no matter how close my friends are to me, I have never revealed your existence to them." Bai Yu smiled slightly and selectively told the truth.

Elise lowered her head without revealing any expression, but the hair that was being touched suddenly wrapped around his wrist and fingertips, like a clingy cat actively rubbing against the scent of the person she loved.

The snake hair revealed her intimate thoughts.

In fact, proactively revealing your situation is also a necessary part of the strategy.

Her roommate's various magical actions broadened her horizons and greatly improved her emotional intelligence... The occasional exposure of her vulnerable side is also a great way to win over others.

After all, Wuming Gui is not here at this time, but who knows what the next time may be, so today is the best time to get closer.

Just when Elyse was secretly delighted that her plan was effective and was planning to go a step further.

Suddenly, a sharp wolf howl was heard in the distance.

The wanderer from hell arrives.

Bai Yu looked around and found that he was surrounded by several werewolves without realizing it.

There is not a trace of the charming atmosphere left.

Elyse's snake danced wildly, its purple eyes filled with murderous intent.

How dare you ruin my good thing...you're looking for death!

Chapter 316 Running in both directions

Hell is certainly not a back garden. Taking a walk here is like picking Ganoderma lucidum in the wild area. There is a risk of being invaded.

But the danger is not the enemy jungler who comes to gank, but the wild game everywhere.

Game from hell.

Bai Yu took two steps back at the werewolf with white mist coming out of its mouth, not because of fear, but because...

"What a big tone." He waved his sleeves: "Ellie, here is..."

Before she could finish her words, Elise raised her hand and snapped her fingers twice.

Two bolts of lightning pierced through the eyes of the werewolf in front.

The latter fell to the ground after letting out a scream, and then turned into a pool of blood, with not even a bone left.

Intermediate Magic: Thunder Fang

Instant magic, and it is two-shot instant magic.

What is European-style Iaijutsu?

Just got it and you have mastered it?

Bai Yu was about to ask about the past few days, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Elysee stomping her right foot on the ground and shouting, "Stand up!"

The ground lit up with the light of summoning magic, and an undead warrior roared out of the magic circle and engaged in close combat with a werewolf.

This undead warrior was wearing armor that gleamed with bronze, with will-o'-the-wisp flickering in his eyes. He held a two-handed heavy sword in his hand and chopped off the werewolf's head in three moves.

The other werewolf bit and attacked the undead warrior's right leg, which was only left with bones, but it had no effect.

Even if a dog bites a bone, the undead warrior will not feel any pain as only a bare skeleton is left.

The werewolves who tried to form a circle were wiped out in less than half a minute.

However, their level is not high, only around level thirteen.

It would be a trouble for a first-level transcendent, but Bai Yu and Ailishe are already at the second level, so naturally it will not cause any trouble.

"You've already mastered two new kinds of magic."

Bai Yu approached the undead warrior, looked around it twice, and marveled at it. Seeing this skeleton warrior, he felt like he was dreaming of Diablo 2.

Elysee shook her head and said modestly but seriously, "I haven't mastered it yet. I'm still familiarizing myself with it... I learned these two types of magic naturally after leaving the Library of Truth, but I only know the form, not the reason. I need to thoroughly understand the core of magic to fully master it."

Bai Yu put his hands in his pockets and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. The enemies here aren't very strong anyway, so consider it a training opportunity."

Elise is responsible for killing monsters, and I am responsible for gaining free experience. We both have a bright future.

His gaze fell back on the werewolf that had vanished in a pool of blood. "What about these werewolves? Are they also shadow forms?"

"What is a shadow body?" Elyse asked in confusion.

"When you go to the Dragon Vein Realm later, you'll see for yourself and know for yourself."

"Dragon Vein Realm? Ah, that mysterious realm in the East!" Elyse asked in surprise, "I, I can enter it too?"

"I can even go to hell, what do you think?"

"That's different. Some Eastern transcendents have the opportunity to obtain a certificate of amnesty as long as they register with the church." Elise said, "There's a professor of pharmacy from the East at the Royal Academy. He said he's of mixed blood, born in the West. Although he later went to the East, he had no chance of gaining recognition at that time, nor did he have the qualifications to enter the Dragon Vein Realm."

The girl was very curious about this.

"Only by reaching the Transcendent Realm within Daxia can one obtain the Dragon Vein Seal." Bai Yu acknowledged the professor's statement. "He obviously achieved this breakthrough elsewhere, so naturally he didn't have this opportunity. The Dragon Vein is a treasure trove. In comparison, this hell does look rather shabby..."

As he was speaking, he noticed something on the ground, bent down, and picked up a gleaming tooth from the ground.

Werewolf Fangs

【Consumables】

[Throw it to release a close-range wolf howl]

A combat tool?

"Is this a dropped item? It doesn't look like essence." Elise squatted down and took a look.

Bai Yu threw the wolf's fang casually, and it flew out. A shock wave was heard five meters away, heading forward, with decent power.

"The dropped item... is this kind of item?"

"Well, each type of evil spirit has different drops." Elise nodded. "Werewolves are considered a type of group evil spirit."

"Evil spirits are the common monsters in hell?"

"That's what the book says. Evil spirits are the aggregation of the souls of sinners in hell. There are countless sinners in hell. Their souls melted in the river of blood, but their obsessions and sins have not disappeared. The drifting blood rain is their madness; the crimson earth is their cruelty... Hell is their place of execution from which they cannot escape. No matter how many times it is destroyed, those evil thoughts and sins will gather again and be reborn from the blood-soaked earth... These are evil spirits." Elise repeated the knowledge in the book word for word.

"So, according to church teaching, when we destroy evil spirits in hell, we are also purifying evil thoughts and sins."

...It's probably equivalent to periodic monster spawning.

Bai Yu understood it simply and directly.

This is somewhat similar to the Dragon Vein Realm, but also different.

The images left by the Dragon Vein Realm are records left by our predecessors and are also precious treasures left by our predecessors to future generations.

The evil spirits in hell represent a cycle that cannot be eliminated by sinners in the world, and the same goes for evil thoughts and sins. They gather in hell and fight against the souls of the living.

Evil spirits cannot be killed, so the extraordinary people use this place as a trial site, which is a win-win situation for both parties.

"The evil spirit should have other benefits besides the dropped items." Bai Yu said affirmatively.

Just like defeating Liuying in the Dragon Vein Realm can gain dragon vein energy to temper and strengthen the soul.

"This is it." Elysee searched around for a while. "Lucky, I got it on the first try."

She picked up a gray gem the size of half her pinky fingernail and placed it in her palm: "This is the essence."

"What essence?"

“The essence of the soul.”

"What's the function?"

"Strengthening the soul also has a certain probability of gaining certain knowledge and memories."

"This doesn't seem to be any different from the dungeon." Bai Yu sighed. It was all the same logical chain, killing and then looting. It was like this in the game, and it was also like this in civilization.

"Whether you're a mage or a knight, once you arrive in Hell, you have only one thing to do: kill evil spirits, gain Soul Essence, become stronger, then kill stronger evil spirits to gain even more Soul Essence." Elyse summarized the Transcendent's ridiculously simple circular logic. "Of course, if you're unlucky and get killed by an evil spirit or someone else, you'll still lose Soul Essence."

"Ah?" Bai Yu was shocked. This was different from what he expected: "Can a living person also be detonated by essence?"
