Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

The Godseeker stands alone before the tomb of Zeratos, the Radiant Dragon.

He quietly looked at the ancient dust flying down from the towering cliffs, thinking back to his current defeat and loneliness, and couldn't help but sigh with mixed feelings.

……

But, he didn't know... the person who could decide his fate in the future...

Already awake

……

The surface, the corrupted land—

Xi Yao had been through a lot of fighting. Not to mention that the enchanted sword was covered with disgusting black and purple unknown liquid, but even his body was cut by the Soul Eater's sharp fangs.

Ever since leaving the Corrupted Rift, more and more monsters seem to have appeared... They have gone from acting alone to coming in groups to cause trouble, making it more difficult for Xiyao to deal with them.

Finally, after killing the last soul-eating monster that came to cause trouble, Xi Yao finally got a brief respite. Then he took out a bottle of weak healing potion and drank it in big gulps.

"Hoo... Guide, how far is it!?"

"Hmm... not far away... do you see that green patch in the distance? That's the grassland. Once we get there, we'll be out of this area..."

Before Andrew finished his words, Xi Yao heard the word "grassland" and ran over at a 100-meter sprint.

"..." Andrew looked at Xi Yao's back, smiled silently, and then slowly walked over.

As soon as Xi Yao stepped onto the green grass, he felt all the fatigue in his body disappear instantly, and what followed was fresh air and the fragrance of green grass.

"...Guide...we...we finally escaped from that place...I didn't feel it before, but now I feel that the grassland and forest are really amazing!" Xi Yao couldn't help but sigh as he bathed in the sunshine of the grassland.

“You can’t even stand this level, but I understand that this is your first time entering there.

Okay, let’s keep moving forward. If I remember correctly, after passing this grassland, there is a jungle ahead.

Our trip this time is to reach the end of the continent - the ocean, which means we have to cross this jungle.

But when you get there, you have to explore the caves deep in the jungle. You should know that there are a lot of treasures in the caves of the jungle."

After saying that, Andrew walked in front of Xi Yao.

……

Dusk has arrived and the moonlight is faintly visible.

After a day's journey and fighting in the corrupted land, Xi Yao was already exhausted, so he simply sat down against a tree.

Andrew looked into the distance, shook his head, and said:

"...Xi Yao, it's almost evening now. It's best not to go out exploring at night, so let's set up camp here and rest for a while, and set off tomorrow."

Xiyao agreed, then took out the rabbit he had just slaughtered on the road from his backpack, walked to a nearby pond, skinned it, and cleaned it.

……

The sun sets, and night falls...

Suddenly, Andrew raised his head abruptly, as if he had noticed something. He looked around quickly, then glanced at Xi Yao in the distance, and pondered for a while.

Then Andrew stood up and gradually disappeared into the night.

by the pond

"Guide, it's been washed and the internal organs have been processed... Hmm? Guide?"

Xiyao held Tutu's ears and shouted loudly, but he didn't find the guide nearby.

"Guide?"

……

"Guide, are you there?"

……

"Guide, are you dead or have you run away?"

After saying that, Xiyao put the rabbit down and looked around for Andrew.

Suddenly, he felt a strong hostility, as if something was staring at him.

"who?!"

Xi Yao instinctively drew out the enchanted sword and turned to chop behind him, but found that there was nothing behind him and he was just chopping at the air.

"...

...Oh, I see. The guide wanted to scare me when I wasn't paying attention... But it's really boring... Who will take care of the wound if I get cut by my enchanted sword?"

Xi Yao then cleared his throat and said:

"Hey, guide, don't hide. I saw you under that big tree, right?"

Although Xiyao said so, there were so many big trees here that no one knew which one Xiyao was referring to.

……

"If you keep hiding, I will roast the rabbit until the skin is golden and the meat is juicy and tender. Then I will eat the whole roasted rabbit in front of you, without leaving any juice!"

……

"Didn't you say that the night is dangerous? What's wrong with you? Are you still childish?"

……

"I'm bored, let's go roast some rabbit~"

After saying that, Xiyao grabbed the rabbit's two ears, then used a clean branch to pierce the rabbit's body, and roasted it next to the campfire...

……

Suddenly, Xi Yao felt like he was being stared at again.

...I knew you, Guide, must be nearby. I can feel you staring at me again...

But... why do I feel uncomfortable when you stare at me... even uncomfortable...

Xi Yao was thinking, when suddenly, the feeling of being stared at intensified, and he felt as if something was approaching.

Are you here? I knew you wanted to attack me from behind... hehe...

Suddenly, Xi Yao stood up and turned around abruptly, lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, and said:

"Guide, I have already guessed what you are going to do. Guess what..."

After saying that, Xi Yao raised his head and opened his eyes.

"Foolish to the point of..."

Before Xi Yao finished speaking, he suddenly froze in place, his mouth opened so wide that it seemed as if he could swallow the roasted rabbit alive in one bite.

It turns out that the person behind him was not Andrew...but an eyeball with a diameter of about 3 meters! ! ! ! !

The eyeballs stared at Xi Yao, and the black and blue pupils trembled from time to time.

Xiyao stared at it without moving. And the big eyeball also stared at Xiyao with its terrifying pupils, but did not move...ah, it did not move its eyes.

The atmosphere was in a very awkward deadlock for a while.

“what the f*ck*”

After Xi Yao uttered an international friendly greeting, he immediately fled in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, Big Eyes immediately twisted itself, yes, it twisted itself, and then chased after it.

With the speed boost from the Hermes Boots, Xi Yao was slightly faster than the big eyeball, but still seemed to be relatively still.

Suddenly, the eyeball rushed towards Xiyao, quickly shortening the distance between them. When it was about to collide, Xiyao used the Cloud Bottle to perform a double jump and avoided the collision.

Seeing that the eyes seemed hostile, Xi Yao took out a torch, walked around in circles, and stuck the torch into the ground while running. There was no other way, it was too dark around here, so he had to stick some torches so that he could be flexible.

After sticking a total of 39 torches into the ground, Xi Yao drew the enchanted sword from its scabbard and prepared for battle.

The giant eyeball continued to rush towards Xi Yao several times in a row. Xi Yao also seized the opportunity and launched multiple attacks.

Afterwards, the big eyeball slowly turned itself, but this time it did not rush towards Xi Yao immediately. Instead, it floated in the air, and its huge black pupils stared at Xi Yao.

At this time, some tissues were separated from its huge pupils, and these separated tissues quickly turned into small eyeballs as soon as they were separated from the main body.

These little eyeballs shook their bodies and then immediately charged towards Xi Yao.

Xi Yao thrust his sword into the pupil of a small eyeball that was leading the way. Just as he was about to pull out the enchanted sword, he was attacked by several others and his left shoulder was hit violently.

Xi Yao immediately took a few steps back and swung the enchanted sword with difficulty. The sword energy generated by the enchanted sword made a precise strike, clearing all the little eyeballs one by one.

After clearing out these miscellaneous soldiers, the pupils of the big eyeball trembled violently, and then it rushed towards Xi Yao, but the speed was obviously much faster.

Xi Yao used what we Terrans often call the kite-flying tactic. He relied on the speed of the Hermes Boots and utilized the sword energy of the enchanted sword to cause damage to the big eyeball from a distance.

……

In the distance, a towering tree stood on the plain. Behind it, Andrew was leaning against the tree with his arms folded across his chest. His expression was calm. From time to time, he would stick his head out to look behind him at the scene of Xi Yao and Big Eyes fighting.

Andrew raised his head slightly, looked at the moonlight tonight, and his eyes became sharp.

"...

...The Eye that gazes upon all things? ...The remains of the evil god's flesh - the Eye of Cthulhu..."

Andrew suddenly stopped talking to himself and closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
