Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"Warning! Intruder spotted! Warning! Intruder spotted!"

When the red light and alarm sounded, Xi Yao immediately realized that he was being treated as a hostile invader!

The two pulse turrets showed no mercy. The one in front gathered energy, and the next second, a pulse bullet was fired at Xi Yao at high speed!

Xi Yao dodged sideways immediately, while the other machine had already gathered its energy and fired another pulse bullet!

Xi Yao immediately raised his hand and blocked it with the Cthulhu Shield. Although the block was successful, at this time, the other one was fully charged and fired a pulse bullet.

The two turrets fired alternately like guns, with almost no delay. Xi Yao could only hold up his shield with one hand, barely resisting the attack from the turret in front of him.

However, before Xi Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, the mechanical door of the control room suddenly opened! Several pulse turrets appeared beside the door.

However, unlike the ones in front of Xiyao, their lower bodies are equipped with wheels, which means they can move around at will!

The turret at the front gathered its energy as soon as it saw Xi Yao, and in less than a second, it fired a pulse bullet!

Xiyao immediately raised the Cthulhu Shield to block. However, when he raised the shield, his body accidentally leaned forward, so the Cthulhu Dash was directly activated!

(Is it similar to when you laid the hell platform, walking and stopping, and then activating the shield? Anyway, I often do this.)

With this charge, Xi Yao directly slammed the front turret heavily into the wall!

The other turrets were stunned for a moment before they realized that the invader was fighting back? As an invader, he actually dared to fight back? He must be punished!

Then, the other two turrets began to shrink and deform rapidly under Xi Yao's eyes, and finally turned into a fist-sized spherical object that could fly!

Suddenly, a ball quickly fired out pulse bullets! Xi Yao raised his shield to block it.

While the ball in front of him was still gathering energy, Xi Yao raised his magic sword and slashed at it. But who knew that it was extremely agile and dodged the attack by turning sideways.

Suddenly, Xiyao realized where the other ball had gone.

He turned back suddenly, only to see a pulse bullet approaching him!

Xi Yao had no time to dodge, and the pulse bullet hit him directly in the chest!

"puff……"

Xiyao didn't feel much pain after being hit by the pulse bullet, but the voltage was a bit...

Suddenly, the ball behind Xiyao also fired a pulse bullet, and Xiyao immediately turned around and used the magic sword to deflect it!

But at this moment, another ball fired a pulse bullet at Xiyao!

Xi Yao gritted his teeth. It turned out that standing between two enemies to fight was not a wise choice.

He immediately used Cthulhu Dash to avoid the attack, then immediately made a tactical retreat.

Well, it was a tactical retreat, definitely not an escape.

The maneuverability of the two spheres was extremely exaggerated, just like dragonflies, and they caught up with Xi Yao in a flash.

Xi Yao kept circling in the control room, with two balls chasing closely behind him.

Xi Yao was walking around and accidentally pressed a button. Suddenly, a blue figure appeared in a corner of the control room!

Xi Yao was startled by the sudden figure and failed to dodge, and was hit in the back by a pulse bullet!

While Xi Yao was running away, he glanced at the blue figure out of the corner of his eye, only to find that it was just an image projected by a holographic projector.

But Xi Yao seemed to have thought of something, and immediately used Cthulhu Sprint to rush towards the projector. Then, Xi Yao did something that looked very stupid.

He walked behind the projection of the holographic projector. If one didn't look carefully, he almost merged into the projection.

Xi Yao prayed secretly, hoping that what he thought was correct.

The two balls immediately flew in front of Xi Yao, and he was about to fire pulse bullets, but hesitated for a moment.

Then, a sphere emitted a red beam of light, which immediately dispersed and swept across the projection of the projector.

Suddenly, the alarm sounded, the red light disappeared, and the two spheres flew back into the mezzanine.

At this time, a mechanical voice sounded:

"Target detected: Kaden

Laboratory alarm cleared!

Welcome back, Master.

In the 379 days, 10 hours, 31 minutes and 34 seconds since you left, 12 experimental projects have been completed, 7 have been advanced, and a total of 14 experimental reports have been generated. Please check them!"

Afterwards, the entire laboratory began to play pure music that made people feel happy and joyful.

Xi Yao breathed a sigh of relief. His guess was correct. The projected figure was indeed the owner of this laboratory.

Now that the crisis is over, he can sweep... well, take a look around here.

Xi Yao walked out of the complex control room, passed through a corridor, and came to a large space.

There are almost no features in this space, just a giant sphere floating in the air and several chandeliers.

Besides, there wasn't even a chair in the space.

Xi Yao walked around the place and found nothing, so he had to go somewhere else.

After passing through a long passage, Xi Yao came to another space.

This space is like a laboratory. Several energy battery factories are constantly manufacturing batteries. There are also a large number of control panels here. The data displayed on them are all incomprehensible to Xi Yao.

Just when Xiyao thought there was nothing here, a box in the corner caught Xiyao's attention!

Xi Yao trotted over and opened the box skillfully.

There were some metal pieces and circuit boards of unknown function, a few bottles of purple potions, and a few gold coins... But the most eye-catching thing was something that looked like a blueprint.

(I wanted to write a diary, but I found that the number of words in the diary is too high! If I write it, someone will definitely say that I have added too many words.)

The text and data on the blueprint were difficult and obscure, and Xi Yao couldn't understand them at all, so he simply put them in his backpack.

Xi Yao also took away other things in the box. After all, a thief never leaves empty-handed, and a passing goose will pluck feathers.

Xiyao opened a door, and suddenly, the metal detector started beeping. He took it out and took a look:

Sea Prism found nearby!

Xi Yao was stunned for a moment. Sea Prism Crystal?

He raised his head and looked around, only to see a huge prismatic blue crystal right in front of him.

The closer Xi Yao got to the crystal, the clearer the words on the metal detector became.

Could this crystal be a sea prism? Xi Yao pondered, reached out and touched it, and found that there seemed to be some kind of energy surging in it.

After thinking for a while, Xiyao decided to take the sea prism crystal away.

He took out a platinum pickaxe and hit the huge crystal... After a while of fiddling with it, all the sea prism crystals went into Xi Yao's backpack.

After doing all this, Xi Yao took out the teleportation potion.

……

Back on the surface, it was already night.

Xiyao returned to the cabin and saw Andrew and Amidius drinking tea together.

Amidius took a big sip of tea and looked embarrassed: "It's so bitter. So humans all like to drink this?"

Andrew took a sip of tea: "Well, humans do like to drink this... but not like you do, you have to savor it carefully, understand?"

Amidius nodded and took a sip of his tea.

"I know you didn't reach the Sulphur Sea through the East, right?" Andrew said suddenly.

"..."

Xi Yao could only remain silent.

Andrew smiled and said:

"What's wrong? I don't mean to blame you."

Andrew pointed at Amidius:

"Not only did you defeat the Desert Scourge, you even rescued the King of the Ilmeris Ocean Kingdom, Amidias, from the Sunken Sea. I didn't expect that.

Go to the damn Sulphur Sea, isn't your trip worth more than going to the Sulphur Sea?"

Xiyao also smiled: "Well, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? Come here, I'll give you something."

Xi Yao moved closer and saw Andrew handing a pocket watch to Xi Yao.

Xi Yao was a little stunned when he looked at this exquisite pocket watch made of pure platinum.

"You should have some sense of time, otherwise you won't know what time it is when you go exploring underground. Take it."

Although Andrew asked him to take it, he had already stuffed the platinum watch into Xiyao's hands, and then stretched out his hand towards Xiyao:

"Okay, give me the backpack."

Xiyao handed him the backpack, and Andrew began to search through it.

"Hmm? Where's the necklace dropped by the Desert Scourge? Where's the weapon?"

Xi Yao pointed to his neck and said: "I'm wearing it. Wearing it can help you breathe underwater, right?

As for weapons, I didn’t take any since I didn’t have any I could use.”

Andrew nodded and returned the backpack to Xiyao.

"Sort the things in there and put them where the materials are. They won't be used right now." Andrew was about to leave when he suddenly turned back:

"Oh, by the way, try to understand the blueprint later. Just treat it as a story. I'll give you something good tomorrow." As he spoke, Andrew had already gone upstairs to sleep.

……

So Xiyao and Amidius were the only ones in the huge living room.

Xi Yao had just sorted the things and put them in the box when Amidius called him over.

Xiyao provided him with a new home, and he decided to tell Xiyao everything he knew:

……

"...Our Ilmeris Ocean Kingdom has countless, inexhaustible treasures.

However, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Ilmeris is just a treasure house.

However, our kingdom is hidden under the sea, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to find the treasure. Therefore, our kingdom continues in peace.

...I am the son of the royal family, and the throne will naturally be passed to me.

However, I thought that I would lead the kingdom to a more prosperous life.

...However, everything in the world is subject to change.

I vaguely remember that one day, a man sneaked into Ilmeris. Instead of expressing hostility, he negotiated with me.

He was not like other people who longed for countless gold and silver treasures. Instead, he hoped that I could hold a summoning ceremony to summon the sealed Moon God.

He said that after this was accomplished, I would gain unparalleled power and supreme authority.

But, I refused.

I naturally knew what summoning the Moon God meant, and I also understood that man's ambition and madness. He would never do anything stupid.

When he was rejected, he just nodded slightly and left Ilmeric without saying anything more.

However, what I didn’t expect was that the man’s retribution came so quickly…”

After saying this, Amidius stroked his forehead.

"Who is that man?" Xi Yao asked him.

Amidius shook his head:

“I don’t know… I just remember that he had red hair and wore gorgeous golden armor… Okay, let me continue.

…That night, a man came to Ilmeris.

She unleashed a vast sea of ​​scarlet fire that enveloped Ilmeris... seeming to unleash all her wrath upon our kingdom...

...Our kingdom gradually sank, and became what you call the underground ocean..."

Amidius finished, trembling and covering his head.

That was his deepest fear.

Xi Yao thought for a while and said, "Then how did you get swallowed by a clam?"

“It’s my personal guard—the Colossus Clam.

In order to protect me during that disaster, it swallowed me into its mouth and kept me safe...

However, it suddenly lost its mind for some reason, and no matter what I said, it refused to open its shell... So, I was trapped in its body..."

……

(OK, let me ask for your opinions.

Do you think it’s better for the protagonist to be alone, or to have another teammate?

Actually, I think the protagonist has NPC (crossed out)

In fact, I think it’s enough for the protagonist to have a guide and others. After all, one more teammate is just one more burden, but you can’t say for sure.
