Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

In a shopping mall in Dongfang Town, Shen Yue followed Prism with brisk steps. She seemed to be curious about everything around her, and she pointed at various products and asked Prism, who responded with a little helplessness.

...After a while, Prism paid the bill, picked up the shopping bag, and planned to go home to make lunch for her brother...At this time, Shen Yue beside her suddenly put her arm around her slender jade arm, and said with a chuckle:

"Hehe, my Jing'er, I finally know what you are doing, hehe... hey, you smell so good~" As he said that, Shen Yue rubbed his head gently against the jade arm he was holding in his hands.

Prism was slightly stunned, and regardless of the strange looks from the people around him, he almost dragged Shen Yue out of the mall quickly. Then he pulled his arm out of Shen Yue's hand and said coldly: "...What do you want to say?"

Shen Yue scratched his head: "Hehe, I didn't quite understand why you came to that place at first, but now I realize that you were buying groceries to cook for me, hehe."

"..." Prism was silent and turned towards her home... At this moment, she could feel that the scene was somewhat familiar, just like when she met Yu Yuleng yesterday.

"Hey, Jing'er, what delicious food are you going to make for me? After dinner, can you take me around here? By the way, let us two sweet and soft girls get to know each other, hehe."

"..." Prism held her forehead and shook her head speechlessly. Then she walked back home, and Shen Yue followed her briskly. Just as she was about to put her arm around Prism's arm, she dodged sideways.

"Hey, what's wrong with girls hugging each other? Aren't all you Terra people like this?" Shen Yue pretended to be displeased.

"..." Prism remained silent and did not answer. He continued to walk quickly towards home. Shen Yue followed him with an angry look on his face, talking non-stop, trying to find a topic to talk about with Prism.

...Just like that, not long after, Shen Yue told Prism the main information she had learned from the TV... Seeing that the latter still looked indifferent, she was really unhappy and said:

"Hey, is the culture of Terra that I know fake?! Don't we have anything in common?"

...In fact, it’s not that Prism doesn’t understand what Shen Yue is talking about, but that Prism is simply too lazy to care.

……

When he returned to his home, Prism took out the key to the front door and glanced at Shen Yue beside him. He was about to say something... Suddenly, Shen Yue jumped up slightly, a little excited:

"Eh? How come I forgot about the place I wanted to see the most? Is it because I heard about it from my mom and I almost forgot about it?" After saying that, Shen Yue turned to Prism and said:

"Jing'er, do you know the [Sinking Sea]?"

Prism didn't want to answer, but when she thought of the peaceful and tranquil underground ocean, her mood, which had been a little annoyed by Shen Yue's harassment, recovered a little, and then she said lightly:

"It's a site of an ocean kingdom located under the desert of East Continent. It's...very nice and reassuring..."

"Hehe." Shen Yue rubbed her hands. "Jing'er, from what you said, you must have been to the sea... Bah, you must have been to the Sea of ​​Sinking, right?"

Prism nodded slightly in response. Seeing this, Shen Yue became even more excited: "Hey, Jing'er, can you take me to the Sunken Sea to play? Right now?"

Prism thought for a moment, recalling the experience when he went there with Xi Yao... Looking at the situation, it seems that he only needs to tell the guards that he knows about the existence of the Sunken Sea, and then register some information before he can dive...

How about... go there and relax while we still have time?

After all, since yesterday afternoon, her mental state has probably declined a lot because of her brother...

"Okay." After some thought, Prism said silently. Hearing this, Shen Yue jumped up happily and hugged Prism.

"Hehe, Jing'er, you're the best, muma~" Shen Yue was about to kiss Jing Jing's face, but the latter pushed her away and said calmly: "...Wait here, I'll come out after I put the ingredients away."

"Hehe~Okay!" Shen Yue was obviously very happy. She continued, "Jing'er, now I declare that from now on we will be... um, how do you say that word? It seems to be... turtle what rice?"

"Best friend." Prism corrected casually... Suddenly, she realized that she was just adding fuel to the fire. Just as she was about to say something, Shen Yue laughed and hugged Prism's arm.

"Hehe, yes, I remembered it as soon as you mentioned it. It's called besties. Hehe~ Jing'er, now, I declare that we will be best friends from now on!!"

Prism had to admit that this was the second time she wanted to curse.

……

Xi Yao and Yu Yuling walked in the Star Plague Land. Under the protection of the twelve pairs of cherry butterflies, the latter was obviously fearless. He even closed his eyes slightly, opened his arms as if to hug, and walked slowly...

Just as he said himself, Yu Yuling really enjoyed the atmosphere of Star Plague Land.

Xi Yao walked in front, occasionally slashing his sword energy at other enemy monsters to smash them... and then after a while, Xi Yao turned his head slightly and looked at Yu Yuling helplessly.

"What?" Sensing Xi Yao's gaze, Yu Yuling opened one eye and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Star Plague Land like me?"

"This is truly unique," Xi Yao said, "However, if we continue to walk through the Star Plague Land like you do, it will probably take us a while."

"Huh..." Yu Yuling exhaled deeply, then he slowly opened his other eye and retracted his open hands, saying in a low voice: "That's true... I have to go back early to taste my sister's cooking..."

Xi Yao didn't reply and was just about to fly high into the sky to travel quickly... Suddenly, a sudden violent vibration all around interrupted his action.

"Is it an earthquake..." Xi Yao pondered, while Yu Yuling beside him gently waved his hand: "Although I have never been to the Star Plague Land before, I know that it is not located in the earthquake zone of the Terra continent.

The geographical location of the place where [Heavenly Star] descended is particularly unique. Since human records began, there has never been an "earthquake" here that can be called an "earthquake"... Moreover, such a tremor cannot occur in a non-plate compression zone."

Xi Yao was thinking about something... At this moment, he suddenly realized that the already strong tremors around him were still getting stronger... After a while, Xi Yao clearly felt that the ground under his feet seemed to be cracking.

No... Xi Yao didn't have time to think about anything else. He immediately looked at Yu Yuling, who still had a calm face, and said, "Fly high!"

"Hmm?" Yu Yuling curled his lips and smiled gently as he looked over. "You seem to have made a mistake. You are the one who needs to get away quickly. That thing's hatred towards you may be higher than mine."

Xi Yao had no time to savor these words, and he quickly flew upward while leaning backwards... Then Yu Yuling suddenly put away his happy expression, replaced it with solemnity, and then flew high...

The next second, the ground where the two had been standing suddenly sank... Then a huge light gray machine quickly jumped out and slammed down to the ground. The violent shock it caused even shook the dust on the ground into the air.

"There's no need to hide it from you." Yu Yuling quickly came to Xi Yao's side and said calmly, "From the moment I felt the vibration, I knew what the reason was."

"...What is this?" Xi Yao asked, looking at the huge machine on the ground that had stopped moving and was the same color as the Star Plague enemy.

This machine is full of technology, and its appearance is somewhat similar to that of a crab, except that it only has four mechanical steel legs for support. There are some strange crystal blocks inside its light gray metal shell, which are now dim.

"That's what I'm going to say, because I know what it is." Yu Yuling nodded gently, and turned to look at Xi Yao: "Do you want me to tell you?"

“…I’ve already asked you.”

"Okay." Yu Yuling chuckled, "When I was still in [Seeking God], I got a piece of news:

The Empire's former partner: Jiaden, after confirming the existence of the Star Plague Land, released news that he wanted to build a machine for exploring the Star Plague Land... and now it seems that, huh... we have encountered it."

"Jiaden's creation..." Xi Yao was thinking about something.

"Yes." Yu Yuling nodded gently, "But now... the guy behind the scenes who controls this machine seems to be very interested in us."

"Again..." Xi Yao held his forehead with his hand, "There are already three, isn't that enough..."

"……what are you saying?"

Yu Yuling turned his head slightly and asked... At this moment: above the ground, the huge machine suddenly caught fire, and at the same time, the crystals inside lit up in unison, emitting a faint green and red-orange light.
