But even if the bullet was sent into this body, it could only barely make the opponent stagger. Wenger's huge body rushed over with astonishing momentum and speed.

Not long after leaving Wenger's head and wandering around for a while, the two encountered the massive body of Wenger in a dilapidated stone building complex. The body seemed to have some kind of visual perception, and as soon as they met, the headless body suddenly rushed towards them.

In a hurry, Sun Yang took out his shotgun and fired all the bullets, but the effect was only to slightly slow down the opponent's charge.

"The gun is not powerful enough? The distance is too close! Let me do it!" Rukatiye rushed forward, holding the big sword tightly with both hands and swung it out, catching the two red rusty double swords weighing dozens of kilograms that the opponent swung forward.

Having been fully strengthened, Rukatiye's strength was equal to his opponent's, and she even had a slight advantage. However, she had followed Sun Yang for a while, absorbing a large number of souls to gain her current strength, and this body did not seem to have the ability to absorb souls to strengthen itself.

It is obvious that this body, which has been inexplicably transformed and survived for a long time, does indeed contain enormous power.

Rukatiye thrust hard, sending the massive figure, two heads taller than her, flying. Wenger simply took two steps back, the two broadswords wielding effortlessly in Wenger's raging hands.

Rukatiye's greatsword, forged from Gulan steel and reinforced with the power of a wedgestone by a local blacksmith, trembled slightly. Her weapon was much lighter than the other's, a disadvantage in this situation.

From the brief exchange, Rukatiye realized that the two men were likely on a different level of combat skill. While the husk before him looked like a mindless berserker, the combat experience it had accumulated from constantly fighting and surviving high-intensity battles was not wasted.

In terms of combat experience, even as an elite member of the Miller Knights, Rukatiye was far inferior to this notorious and terrifying berserker. In terms of the intensity and frequency of the battles, Rukatiye couldn't even keep up with the other one.

In terms of physical performance, Rukatiye held the advantage. With Sun Yang's assistance, she was able to unleash far more power than she had in the past, and this was her only chance of victory.

But as a weapon, her sword was too light. In combat, manageable weight could be used as an advantage, as a heavy blow from the opponent could be fatal to any warrior.

Rukatiye took a deep breath and charged forward again, slashing furiously with her greatsword. Wenger, taller than her and with a greater reach and effective attack range, could only hold up her two swords to block Rukatiye's blows.

Only by using faster, more sustained, and more powerful attacks than her opponent can she win in battle. When the opponent's arms can no longer support them and their energy is exhausted, she can defeat this powerful enemy.

"For Miller's homeland!" Rukatiye shattered the opponent's defensive stance. She split the transformed and forged muscles and bones, destroying the opponent's hardened arm joints, forcing the body to be unable to block.

Then she thrust the tip of her greatsword beneath Wenger's ribs, crushing his liver, gallbladder, lungs, and heart. The force was so great that it sent Wenger flying into the air and piercing him into the ground.

But even so, Wenger's body did not disappear or cease functioning—his body was no different from an undead being. And because he lacked a head and this crucial weakness, ordinary swords and knives could not destroy him.

"Damn it!" Rukatiye quickly drew out her greatsword and took out a bag of fragrant mucus to smear on the blade.

This mucus is packed with magical power, and before it evaporates and is exhausted, it can give the blade greater sharpness and armor-piercing ability.

The joints of Wenger's arms were wriggling and repairing, and it wouldn't be long before he could fight with all his strength again.

"I should have expected this. A body that can move at this time must have something remarkable." Rukatiye swung the sword again. Only the dancing azure light could be seen in the air. Wenger's heavy, hard body was cut into dozens of pieces by her.

It could no longer move. After trembling a few times, Wenger's body turned into a cloud of dust.

"Huh..." Rukatiye gasped and looked back at Sun Yang, "Prepare some powerful weapons next time~ I won't be able to handle two more."

Sun Yang put down the shotgun that he had rarely taken out. He had originally planned to take out the laser gun, but now he didn't need it.

Although Sun Yang knew that Wenger's physique was unusual, his size still surprised him a little. After all, in the game, when he was summoned as an ally, his model was a size larger than the other teammates.

No wonder the rumors describe him as terrifying. Although there are many humans in the Dark Souls world who have become abnormally tall due to their powerful souls, there may not be a hundred such big guys in the entire continent.

Most mortals were considered quite tall if they reached around 1.80 meters, so in the far east, Wenger, with his tall stature and fierce fighting skills, stood out.

This body was also incredibly strong. Sun Yang's shotgun blasts were useless against it.

"I feel a lot more refreshed now... Hey, being able to kill Wenger, even a stronger Wenger... would be a military achievement that would allow me to jump several levels in rank within the regiment... Forget it, I can't go back anyway. I just want to be happy." Rukatiye scratched her head. Because she had become an undead, she was feared by the people in the Knights Templar.

"I think there are probably very few such powerful warriors—" Before Sun Yang finished speaking, he saw Rukatiye's expression suddenly become serious. She looked in a certain direction and shouted loudly:

"get out!"

With sporadic sounds, several humanoid creatures with exaggerated lion-like faces emerged from the nearby bushes. They were dressed in simple cloth, holding huge double-edged steel axes and wooden shields, and looked very menacing.

"What are you? Can you speak? Or are you all already zombies?" asked Rukatiye.

"We are not zombies, at least not yet," the lion-headed man said. "Are you from the Miller Knights?"

"...At this point, I'm no longer surprised to see a talking beast-headed man. There are so many strange things in Dolan Gureg." Rukatiye pursed his lips.

"No, Miller's Knight. We are from Froza. A lot of things happened after the destruction of Froza, so we settled here." The lion-headed warrior in the lead folded his arms.

"There are no people with lion heads in Froza. I don't know where you got Froza's shield and weapons, but impersonating them is not a wise idea. It will bring you fatal disaster." Rukatiye's voice was very dangerous.

"We don't need to disguise ourselves, Knight Miller. We were experimented on by Andil, so we can continue to live soberly in this place, and the price is that we become like this." said the lion-headed Froza man.

"You know the big guy I just killed, right?" Rukatiye continued to ask.

"Wenger, yes. Wenger was killed on the battlefield by the Iron King's troops, his head chopped off. That Andil used his body for experiments... His mind remained conscious, but his body only retained the instinct to fight."

"We couldn't resist Andil. We no longer had the ability or manpower to fight back. Everyone wanted to survive. The battle was too long and too difficult," said the Froza people.

"Didn't you reattach his head so that you can live together?" Sun Yang interrupted from behind.

"He said he likes quietness, and that his body and head have a connection. If he were to stay around us, we might get hurt. Well, actually, several of our brothers and sisters have been killed by his body. Knight of Miller, although I don't like you, you deserve our respect." The lion-headed Foroza man saluted Rukatiye.

"I'm just fulfilling the duties of a knight. I also saw a lot of other messy things here, and many warriors who can become invisible. But they didn't show any hostility, so I didn't take any action. Do you know what happened?" Rukatiye asked curiously.

"You can think of this place as Andil's abandoned testing ground. We and other miscellaneous things are piled here. Those invisible warriors were sent by the king to monitor us and the southern border. They also voluntarily accepted transformation, and at least they can stay sober now. Are you from the south? The people there should have lost their minds." The lion-headed Froza man said a lot proudly.

"Are you so willing to accept transformation?" Rukatiye looked at these people. He could still tell the genders from their hair and body shapes.

"If your homeland is destroyed, and the new country you are loyal to faces the spreading curse of the undead, as well as this strange and distorted space environment...sometimes you have no choice. At least King Pancrad can guarantee that we can stay here safely. Knight Miller, can't you go home either? You look like an undead already." said the Lion-headed Froza.

"Ha... Well, you're right." Rukatiye was no longer in the mood for conversation. Normally, she was at least somewhat enthusiastic towards Sun Yang, but now she was completely venting her frustration and irritation. However, the Lion Head across from her didn't mind at all; it seemed Rukatiye's attitude was the norm.

"If you are familiar with this place, I would like to ask for directions. How to get to Gaidole in Pyroxene Town? It would be even better if you know what the current situation there is." Sun Yang hurriedly asked about the business.

"From here, head east into the valley. You'll pass through a rocky canyon called the 'Faros Gate,' and then you'll reach the pyroxene town of Gaidol. Also, as I mentioned before, this is where Andil discarded his experimental materials. Don't think all that's left are corpses or anything like that. There are also many curse frogs discarded here. Be sure not to get involved."

"Many curse frogs hide beneath this area, as they prefer dark and damp environments. Don't go into the caves below. We've boarded up the entrances, making them very conspicuous. Don't step on them, or they might collapse. Finally, if you want to pass through the Pharos Gate, the valley's passage is occupied by a creature with a human upper body and a poisonous scorpion lower body. You'll have to defeat it or find a longer route."

"If you plan to challenge that scorpion woman, you can go find Scorpion Tucker. He's a pretty good guy. He's the same species as the one blocking the door, but one is crazy and the other is still sane. He will help you. If you don't understand his language, I can help you translate." These Froza lions pieced together a lot of methods and precautions, and Sun Yang wrote them down one by one.

"That's great. I have two last questions. What's the situation inside the Pharos Gate? Do I need to make any armed preparations? And have you seen a birdman nearby?" Sun Yang quickly asked all the questions he needed to ask.

"No need. Before that scorpion woman blocked the door, we communicated with the people in the Faros Gate and did business. Those are the poor people who have fled there from all over the world. You will meet many short and sturdy Garum people. Communicate with them and give them some necessary supplies, and they will take you to Pyroxene Town. As for the birdmen? I'm not sure, but my scouts reported some time ago that someone fell into a cave. That's the lair of the cursed frogs, and we will never go in there." The Lion Froza people told everyone all the information they knew.

"Birdman?" It was also the first time that Rukatiye heard Sun Yang was looking for a birdman, but she did not ask on the spot. Instead, she waited until they were alone before asking in detail.

"Then I will go find Scorpion Tucker and talk to him first." Sun Yang did not delay and went directly to the area where the other party was.

Amidst the vast ruins, one could see a number of lion-headed Froza people, with a few invisible figures wandering nearby. Sun Yang was curious about whether he could speak to them, but was interrupted by a lion Froza person.

"Don't ask. They don't like outsiders chatting with them. They hate the Froza people, or to be more precise, all outsiders. If it weren't for King Pancrad's previous order, we would have fought long ago." The lion-headed Froza man explained.

The floating transparent guard was wandering aimlessly, but it seemed that under that transparent body, all eyes were fixed on Sun Yang and the Froza lions.

285 Inside the Cave

With the help of the local Froza people, Sun Yang successfully communicated with Scorpion Tucker.

Scorpion Tucker could not speak the local language, but because the people of Froza became familiar with Scorpion Tucker and accepted his transformation, they were able to communicate with each other unexpectedly.

Although the lion-headed Foroza man and this creature that looks like the upper half of a human body grafted onto a giant scorpion do not seem to be bred normally.

But in fact, they were created using two completely different technologies.

The Froza people were transformed and experimented on in their souls and bodies by Andil. These lion people could not explain the process. They were all drowsy during the experiment, and when they regained consciousness, they looked like this.

Scorpion Tucker and Sun Yang, the other scorpion girl Rukatiye was about to face, were created by an Ancient White One. They were truly artificial life forms, creatures shaped by the hand of that Ancient White One.

One is acquired, the other is like this when you are born.

As for the name of this ancient white being, Sun Yang was very clear. There was only one creature with this name: the White Dragon Sith.

In Soul II, there's a unique concept: soul reincarnation. Many powerful characters from previous generations of Soul II are reincarnated as background characters in the game, or transformed into bosses with different appearances.

This is how the White Dragon Sith was reincarnated. Its soul was transferred to a spider in Gaidole, a town in Pyroxene. After the White Dragon Sith's soul attached itself to it, the spider grew rapidly, bursting through its cage, and in a short time transformed into a spider as massive as an ancient dragon.

Duke Gaidole of Pyroxene Town, who loved spiders so much that he kept hundreds of spiders in his room and in the town, was so frightened that he turned into a zombie after witnessing his beloved spider break through the iron cage, turn into a giant and leave the room.

By this point in time, there were probably no normal humans left in Gaidol, the town of Pyroxene. The White Dragon had no intention of treating civilians kindly. In its first generation, it was a scientific research enthusiast, capturing saints for human experiments and even creating many snakemen to help it capture experimental materials.

The white dragon Sith has always been committed to transforming himself into an immortal ancient dragon. He creates artificial life and studies the secrets of reincarnation in order to achieve this ultimate goal.

In Dolan Gureg, there's also a well-known scientific madman named Andil, who is also a guy who can kill many people in order to restore ancient technology. If these two scientific madmen meet, it's like a turtle meeting a mung bean, they will fall in love.

Sun Yang couldn't imagine what it would be like for these two guys to work together on scientific research. Moreover, he really couldn't figure out how the scientists in this world could create life with their own hands. It was simply incredible.

You can't just stuff a soul into a pregnant woman's belly and give birth, right? Or simply create a flesh-and-blood womb and perform artificial intervention?

The original work didn't mention any of this, and Sun Yang didn't dare to speculate. But the research results were right in front of him, so he had to believe it. All he could say was that these two top academic experts probably had their own unique ways of researching.

By the way, another character from the first Dark Souls, Manus, also came over.

However, after his soul was broken into four parts, it was directly transformed into four dark fallen children with different personalities and characteristics who longed for souls.

Honestly, the thought of those Dark Fallen being reincarnated from Manus made Sun Yang want to rant. Was this also considered a gender swap? That fuzzy boxing champion turned into four Dark Fallen, drawn to a powerful soul? Either way, it felt weird.

Although the Dark Fallen's ability to cause trouble is still very powerful.

According to Scorpion Tucker, his companion had gone mad, often becoming inexplicably violent and rampaging. He even attacked him, his constant companion. Unwilling to see his companion gradually lose his mind, he begged Sun Yang to kill his companion, and he would personally assist.

They seemed unable to kill each other, and the damage they inflicted was non-lethal. Perhaps the White Dragon Sith, who created them, had set up this insurance to prevent the specimens from killing each other.

The number and combat effectiveness of the Lion Froza people are far from the level when they served King Pancrad before. They are unable to defeat the mad Scorpion Woman.

Before defeating the mad scorpion girl, Sun Yang and Rukatiye hurried down to the cave below the ruins of the Lost Land. He lifted the wooden planks laid by the Foroza people and jumped into the damp cave.

"I'll leave you a rope. Hey, be careful~" the Lion-headed Froza man shouted from above. It was really difficult for them to deal with the cursed frog. The petrifying spray was a very deadly thing for many people.

Rukatiye turned on the headlamp, borrowed a sawed-off shotgun and a handful of bullets from Sun Yang, and asked him to keep an eye on his back.

The cave was filled with the resounding croaking of frogs. Rukatiye remained calm, however. The petrifying mist sprayed by the curse frogs had a short range, making it extremely dangerous for close combatants, but relatively easy to deal with for mages or archers.

"Are you interested in telling me what's going on with that birdman now?" Rukatiye said while watching from behind.

"I've heard of a birdman who's good at processing souls and creating special weapons. It's said he's also a creature created by the White Dragon Sith." Sun Yang responded.

"White Dragon Sith? What do you mean it was also created by White Dragon Sith? Do you know what the Ancient White Ones they're talking about are?! How long have you lived? This isn't something the Ancient Dragon Academy should know, right?" Rukatiye was a little confused. "How do you know so much?"

"Calm down. Everyone has a few secrets. I can even travel to other worlds." Sun Yang comforted him.

"It's hard for me to accept that I'm traveling with someone who's probably over a thousand years old," Rukatiye said. "I'm traveling with someone who's ten times older than the old leader. It's... hard for me to get used to."

"I'm not that old, not even fifty. I just asked around and met an apprentice of the Fire Hero. That guy told me a lot of stories from ancient times. I think it's the only one who can be called the Ancient White One and can mess with the human body." Sun Yang thought about it and thought that explaining it by saying I played games or Yun Guo was too outrageous, so he picked a more reliable lie.

"There really are people who survived from ancient times... It's incredible." After hearing the explanation, Rukatiye's curiosity about the source of the information was no longer there. "So, what are you looking for this birdman for?"

"I'm looking for a magic consultant. I don't have the ability to analyze magic equipment, so I want to find someone who can understand these people. It just so happens that the birdman I'm looking for can use souls to create weapons with special magical powers, and I want to ask her to be my advisor." Sun Yang installed an integrated high-precision sensor on his arm, which can detect life characteristics and suspicious movements at close range. Although he didn't understand the principle, many humanoids are using this.

It was said that it was originally used to rescue the wounded after a disaster or search for survivors in the wild. However, the humanoids found it very convenient to use in combat environments, because it is very practical for searching for potential life forms and suspicious movements at close range.

Sun Yang raised his hand and glanced at the display screen. There were a few bright spots on it, and then he fired several shots at the corner.

Several animal cries were heard, and several cursed frogs crawling at the corner had their heads pierced through and lay there motionless.

"Like the magic advisors around many lords? You can easily take out so many things. I'm not surprised to say you are a lord." Rukatiye also fired several shots at the area behind him, killing the cursed frog that was about to crawl over for a sneak attack.

"Well, I'm not a lord, Rukatiye, maybe you should read more books..." Sun Yang felt that he couldn't explain something clearly to Rukatiye.

"Ahem, I used to read some novels. But are you sure the birdman you are looking for is here? If not, I've been working for the Foroza people for nothing. I'm not opposed to helping others, but if I want to help the Foroza people, I'd better forget it. At least I have to get some benefits." Rukatiye quickly passed over the topic. She was not a person who liked reading.

"It's hard to say. Not every adventure brings rewards, but every adventure comes with risks." Sun Yang raised his hand and glanced at the sensor. "Our rewards are here."

Deep within the cave, a wooden door stood sealed shut. It was unknown when or who had built the door frame and planks, but it was now firmly shut. If one listened closely, one could hear the sound of deliberately suppressed breathing.

"I saw it," Rukatiye stared at the door, "a large soul is lingering inside."

"What the hell did you see?" Sun Yang stared at the wooden door for a long time. Although he had a subtle sense of touch, there was no visual change. He looked at the sensor on his wrist and saw a bright spot.

"Sun Yang, this is a skill that requires practice to master. I don't think someone like you who can sleep for a long time when there is nothing to do can learn it." Rukatiye complained sarcastically.

"I... Rukatiye, only after people learn to rest can they truly figure out who they are. Rest is very important. As the saying goes, learning to rest is like learning to exercise." Sun Yang stammered and talked about a lot of nonsense.

"What weird logic are you talking about? Sun Yang, you are just lazy. I don't mind this kind of thing. Just get things done. Why work so hard? I only took the time to contact you because I couldn't get it done." Rukatiye shook his head.

"...You are really a good woman, Rukatiye." Sun Yang suddenly commented.

"Oh wait, don't be like that. We, um, it's just, you know," Rukatiye said, a little embarrassed. "It's just that this atmosphere is not suitable. We are still in the middle of a battle and will face a big scorpion later... I need to concentrate on the battle."

"It's just a simple comment. I've met many unreasonable women in the past. They throw tantrums as soon as they encounter any difficulties... It's really terrible." Sun Yang said.
