Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"Return..." Elias pinched his chin, "Could it be because Jiaden's creation was destroyed by us?"

"Perhaps the essence of God is sealed in that madman's creation." Xi Yao replied.

"I guess that when the Wall of Flesh and Blood collapsed, he took the opportunity to absorb some of the God's essence and eventually used it on these steel creations. This is why we destroyed them again and again, but each time we changed the world... After all, I don't believe that simply destroying a pile of bulky steel can change the world."

Elias spread out his left hand again: "In this case, can I understand that we are the first people to know that the sacred mine has reappeared?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be it." Xi Yao nodded, then pulled out the environmental blade that was inserted into the soil, leaving a deep blade mark.

"Okay, now, let's set off for the sacred land and collect all the divine metals we can see." Xi Yao held the Environmental Blade in one hand and looked towards the southwest.

……

The surface of the sacred land -

A gorgeous sword shadow was circling around Xi Yao quickly. The aqua blue and bright pink sword light was particularly gorgeous, and was particularly suitable for the fairy-tale scene in the sacred place.

[The Power of Heaven]

This is the environmental power that the Environmental Blade gains from tuning in the sacred land. When using it, Xi Yao holds the sword in one hand and keeps spinning it to cut. His movements are so fast that he can cut through a sphere with a radius of five meters with himself as the center within half a second without any dead angles... It can be said that no monster can get close to him under this attack.

Of course, Prism and Elias did the same, hiding far away and watching Xi Yao's test of the tuning of the Environmental Blade. After all, this attack with no blind spots does not distinguish between friend and foe.

...After a while, Xi Yao slowly stopped attacking, and after realizing that the power of heaven was a dangerous double-edged sword, Xi Yao silently switched to clarity and purity, and then looked at the two people who were far away.

"Alright." Xi Yao shouted, "Next, let's go to the underground cave."

……

Sacred Underground Caverns

God's Metal - The sacred ore is dark gold in color, and its specific gravity seems to be as light as aluminum. It constantly emits a faint sacred golden light around it.

The distribution of the sacred ore is relatively dense, which allowed Xi Yao to mine a lot of it in half an hour. Roughly speaking, there are about 400 pieces, which can be melted into an ingot if 4 pieces are melted into one ingot, which is 100 sacred ingots.

However, since he wanted to make battle armor after all, 100 sacred ingots were still too much. Thinking of this, Xi Yao decided to mine for a while longer, so he advanced deeper into the cave.

...At this moment, a large number of bright pink particles suddenly flashed in front of Xi Yao, and at the same time a chaos spirit appeared.

But it had barely shown its head for half a second when the blade of the Environment Blade penetrated its abdomen. At the same time, Elias, who was behind, raised Hellfall and fired several explosive bombs. Prism knew that he didn't need to take action, so he stood still. Then, Xiyao fiercely slashed the blade down again, and just like that, he gutted a Chaos Spirit.

【Show up and it will hit you in seconds】

"This is the nth one..." Xi Yao pulled out the Environmental Blade from the Chaos Essence and muttered to himself.

Since we first arrived at the Sacred Cave, this kind of enemy monster has appeared intermittently. Although the threat posed by the enemy monster is not great, a pink man suddenly appears in front of us with a "whoosh" sound... It is still easy to scare people.

After dealing with the Chaos Spirit, Xi Yao took away a wisp of Soul of Light and was about to go deeper... But at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a strange object and turned to look at the place where the Chaos Spirit died.

I saw a bright pink exquisite cane lying quietly on the ground, still emitting a faint pink light... Xi Yao knew that this was a dropped item transformed from the Chaos Spirit's own essence.

Xi Yao picked it up, looked at it carefully first, then took out the Book of Terra and read it, and finally found the introduction page of this cane in the chapter on special drops.

[Chaos Teleportation Rod: Focus your mind, fold space, arrive in the blink of an eye, chaos interweaves. ]

Xi Yao found it difficult to understand the brief introduction, so he put away the cane, planning to study it carefully when he returned, and then continued to go deeper into the cave.

……

Another half an hour passed, and the total amount of mining of the sacred mine reached 800+. Xi Yao looked at his pocket watch again: 12:22 a.m.

"It's about time to go back..." Xi Yao muttered, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the prism, "By the way, do you want to go to the surface and borrow some milk from the unicorn?"

Prism shook his head gently: "Bilan has been weaned and is now eating grass. Just take her to the grassland for a few laps every day."

"The unicorn is weaned so quickly?" Ellis asked, "Then it must grow very fast. Will that creature hurt me one day?"

Prism thought for a moment and said, "Blue is very well behaved, just don't bully her."

At this time, Xi Yao had already taken out three bottles of teleportation potions, and then threw them to the two of them: "Now that things have come to this, let's go back first and make quick adjustments. We will go to the jungle underground cave again in the afternoon."

……

Earlier in the morning, in the northern battlefield of Xunshen——(see the first half of Chapter 224)

Half an hour after a battle started, a city fell, and the result was a crushing victory for the Xunshen army.

……but……

After the war, a major who was the commander of the battle gathered the soldiers together... However, the major did not say anything after the gathering, but only faintly let out a crazy and excited laugh, which puzzled the soldiers...

...However, almost in an instant, a large number of [Sage Spirit] summons floating in the air around the major suddenly shot a large number of poisonous needles at the soldiers, directly killing the front-line soldiers who had no defense against the major!

The remaining soldiers quickly realized something and wanted to scatter, but it was too late. In another moment, the major swung an icy whip horizontally and hit a large number of soldiers in front of him. At the same time, a huge ice flower was released from the ice whip, chasing the soldiers as if it had life!

...The major attacked his own soldiers without any hesitation, as if he was facing the enemy with decisiveness...In the end, the major killed the hundreds of soldiers gathered in front of him one by one with surprise attacks and pursuit.

...To put it simply, in a battalion of the Xunshen Army, a commanding major killed all of his own soldiers.

…After a massacre, the major quietly put away the cold whip and looked at the group of sage spirits beside him.

"Thank you for your hard work, my servant." The major said lightly, his voice was slightly hoarse and particularly cold.

The major then looked up at the bright moon in the sky again, then slowly reached out to take off the Yuanquan helmet, revealing his face.

Cold, his whole face was cold. Whether it was the look in his eyes or the curve of his mouth, it all revealed the word cold.

...Suddenly, the major slowly opened his mouth, and finally put on a crazy smile, then he looked up to the sky and laughed, which seemed particularly crazy in this night.

The major didn't laugh for long. Soon, he put away his crazy smile and his face turned cold again, looking like a completely different person.

"Enough, enough." The major muttered to himself lightly, then tore off the major's badge hanging on his waist, scratched a mark on it with his fingernails, and then threw it on the ground casually.

On the Terra continent, only defectors would do this... massacring soldiers, tearing up military badges... It was obvious that this major had defected from [Seeking the God] and the Jungle Empire.

"I am not a citizen of the Jungle Empire. After so many years, it is time for me to withdraw from this so-called [God-seeking]... As for the equipment given by the Empire, heh, I will accept it."

The major muttered to himself, and then suddenly closed his eyes... When he opened them again, those cold eyes actually revealed a hint of tenderness.

"It's been thirteen years. I hope you still remember me."

After the major finished speaking, he controlled a pair of cloak-shaped wings with lava-colored fluid flowing behind him and flew away. As a defector, he had to leave the area occupied by [Xunshen] as soon as possible.

……

A few hours later—

"Major Yu has defected."

Deep underground in the jungle, in the Imperial Military District office, a lieutenant colonel of the stationed troops reported what they encountered while stationed - the bodies of almost all the soldiers in the battle were found, as well as the military badge that symbolized defection.

"..." After hearing the news, the commander of the summoner army of the God-seeking Army in the office crossed his fingers and placed them in front of his forehead, remaining silent without saying anything.

"Commander, should we send out sanctions troops to hunt down the mutineers?" asked the lieutenant colonel. At the same time, the admiral slowly stood up and waved his hand gently.

"Actually, your report is not necessary. The monarch will know it at the first moment." The commander said lightly.

"…Because of the crystal ball?"

"There are quite a lot of unnecessary questions." After the commander said this, he picked up the major's badge opposite the general's desk and crushed it forcefully, with a large amount of mahogany fragments scattered on the ground.

"...The monarch said that there is no need to hunt him down." The commander said, "He is not a citizen of the empire. He voluntarily joined the [God Seeker] when he was a child and has made great contributions over the years.

...But if he wants to leave...because of his special ability, the monarch will never let him go...so, he has no choice but to leave [Seeking God] and leave the empire."

After finishing speaking, the commander paused, and then continued: "The following paragraph is what I think. The monarch only issued an order not to pursue and kill."

"But, that guy killed an entire battalion in order to escape, and took away a major-level amount of military equipment. Is the monarch really going to let him go?"

"Can you find a single traitor all over the continent? And then mobilize a large army to send soldiers across half the continent just to kill a traitor?" The commander said coldly, "These are the monarch's exact words."

"...The garrison in Karlan City is basically completed, and the second round of garrison soldiers can come." The lieutenant colonel did not dwell on the topic of pursuit, but reported the progress of the garrison.

The commander turned to look at a painting of a deicide hanging on the wall, then waved his hand and said, "Go away."

…After the lieutenant left, the commander was silent for a while, then shook his head and murmured to himself: "Yu Yuling, don't come back if you leave, get out of here."

"You know that the monarch has a crush on you because of your special abilities and will never let you go, so you resorted to this last resort and defected... No, this is not a last resort. This is your only way to escape from [Seeking the God] and the empire..."

The commander walked to the filing cabinet in the corner, unlocked it, opened a drawer, and took out a document.

[God-seeking Army—Holy Golden Source Army Enlistment Order]

"Yu Yuling, I don't know whether to say you are stupid or smart." The commander said coldly.

"After this battle, you will be a special unit of the God-seeking Army - a soldier of the legendary [Holy Golden Source Army], but you escaped..." The commander said, silently shredding the document.

“Even admirals may not be able to join the Holy Golden Source Army. As a major, you joined early because of your special abilities, but you fled from [Xun Shen] and the Empire just when you were about to become one… Hehe…”

"The situation is chaotic now, so there is no need to hunt you down... After this, the monarch will find you sooner or later and torture you to death."
