Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

Corruption

Following Andrew's suggestion, Xi Yao first laid three layers of platforms on the surface that could move up and down freely, and also laid a rope leading to the huge corrupt rift.

After doing all this, Xi Yao slid down the corrupted rift along the rope, while the tree demon Kali stayed on the surface on standby.

280 meters below the Corruption Rift

At this time, Xi Yao's surroundings, whether it was the ground, walls, or even his head, were covered with a layer of solid ebony.

The underground terrain is relatively open, but it is extremely dark all around.

This ebony stone seemed to be able to absorb light. The light emitted by the torch could not illuminate the road in front of Xiyao at all, resulting in darkness around Xiyao.

Seeing that the torch had no effect, Xi Yao took out a bottle of yellow potion from his backpack and drank it.

In an instant, everything within a radius of 2.5 meters with Xiyao as the center was illuminated by the light!

What Xiyao drank just now was the "Light Potion". It was specially sold by the blasting expert after he learned the purpose of Xiyao's visit. One bottle cost 5 silver coins, and Xiyao bought 10 bottles directly.

The effect of the light potion is that within 1 hour, it will emit a light that is not dazzling but has extremely strong intensity, centered on itself.

(Don’t ask me why it’s 1 hour. After all, you should know that 1 minute in the game actually means 1 hour.

The duration of the Radiance Potion in the game is 10 minutes, so it's already good that I didn't make it 10 hours?)

The surroundings became a little brighter because of the light potion. After Xi Yao was slightly amazed, he began to look around.

In a deep pit not far from Xi Yao, there were several slightly trembling purple spheres emitting a dim purple light.

The purple sphere is similar to the energy core of the Corruption, storing a large amount of dark power.

However, since the dark power of the corrupted land is too great, one bead cannot store it all, so several of these beads will appear.

At present, all the beads are in the deep pit in front of Xi Yao.

Suddenly, Xiyao felt the death gaze eye floating above his head was agitated, and then a laser shot towards Xiyao's back!

Xi Yao immediately turned around and saw several Soul Devouring Monsters appeared here without knowing when! They bared their fangs and flew towards Xi Yao!

The Death Gaze was firing lasers at them, but it ignored a Soul Eater lurking in the dark!

"Roar!"

In an instant, the Soul Eater rushed out, and its pair of sharp fangs looked even sharper in the dim purple light!

Xi Yao took a look and said that it was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to try the power of the grass sword again!

Xi Yao quickly drew out his grass sword and slashed at the charging soul-eating monster!

"Chua!" The grass sword easily cut through the soul-eating monster! It was cut into two halves! Disgusting black and purple liquid flowed out.

However, Xiyao had long been immune to this stench.

After all, compared to the strange smell of decay in the corrupted land, perhaps... the stench emitted by the flower buds in the Evergreen Corridor is even worse.

Xi Yao looked in front of him again and saw that several soul-eating monsters had been killed by the Eye of Death.

(Death Gaze seems to have been nerfed? I guess I'm not the only one who feels its attack speed has slowed down?)

After dealing with the threat, Xi Yao jumped into the deep pit and used a double jump when he was about to hit the ground.

Xi Yao looked at the three purple spheres suspended in the air before him, and just as the guide had said, he swung his platinum hammer and smashed them down!

"Pong!"

The sound of hitting it was very crisp, just like hitting glass... I saw a crack like a spider silk appeared on the sphere, and then it immediately cracked!

Suddenly, Xi Yao felt his whole body trembling, and felt an inexplicable fear!

But this feeling only lasted for less than three seconds. Xi Yao quickly recovered and looked down, only to see a musket and a pile of musket bullets on the ground.

Xi Yao picked up the gun. He knew it was a shooter's weapon, but he still put it in his backpack.

If he doesn't need it, he can sell it for money. It just so happens that the merchant is recycling items at a "high price".

After that, Xi Yao smashed towards the second bead.

"Pong!"

The moment the beads shattered, a terrifying scream rang out from all around...

Coming back to his senses, Xi Yao looked at the ground and saw a thorn lying quietly on the ebony stone.

Xi Yao picked it up and waved it around, only to find that it was a mage's weapon.

After all, he could feel that his magic power had disappeared a little.

Xi Yao sighed and prepared to smash the third bead.

Just as the hammer was approaching the bead, Xi Yao suddenly remembered what the guide said:

When destroying the third bead, it is best to throw a dynamite down to destroy it.

Once you drop the explosives, get back to the surface quickly.

Although Xi Yao didn't know why he had to do this, he did it anyway. He took out a detonator, lit it, and placed it next to the beads.

He then quickly used the grappling hook to get back up, pulled up the rope, and returned to the surface 280 meters above.

This process took less than half a minute.

After returning to the surface, Xi Yao was waiting for the detonator to explode.

He vaguely remembered that the blasting expert said that the later his detonator exploded, the more powerful it would be!

But it's been almost a minute, and it's not exploding yet?

In this situation, if it really explodes, will it become a nuclear weapon?

Xi Yao shook his head, dismissing this terrible idea, and looked at the platforms on the side.

The guide said that the platform was used to deal with the 80-meter-long insect.

But now Xi Yao is quite confused. Where is the 80-meter giant worm that the guide mentioned?

However, Xi Yao still hoped that the giant insect would not appear.

On the side, the dryad Kali was controlling the thorns of the corrupted land out of boredom.

Carly used magic to control the thorns, rolled them into a ball, and then casually controlled them to throw them onto a tree nearby... A deep mark immediately appeared on the bark of the tree.

Xiyao's eyes lit up

Isn't this her way of attacking? Controlling thorns!

But at this moment, suddenly!

"BOOM!"

A loud bang that shook the sky came from underground. Xi Yao realized that the detonator had exploded, but he didn't care.

Suddenly, Xiyao felt the ground beneath his feet trembling!

Xiyao was a little panicked

Could it be that the detonator really paralyzed the underground of the corrupted land?

After all, it was delayed for a minute. If what the blasting expert said was true, then it might really have become a nuclear weapon?

But Carly suddenly became serious and began to cast a natural blessing spell.

"Roar!"

With a roar, in an instant, a giant worm emerged from the huge crack of corruption!

"Roar!"

There was another terrifying roar, and then it rushed straight towards Xi Yao!

This giant insect has extreme maneuverability, just like a speeding train!

Before Xi Yao could even react, it rushed forward from below!

Xi Yao immediately used his grappling claws to hook onto the upper platform, successfully escaping from the giant insect's hunting.

The giant insect missed its target and simply drew a semicircular arc in the air before breaking through the ground and burrowing into the ground.

Xi Yao quickly calmed himself down, gripped the grass sword tightly and stared at the giant insect.

This giant worm's body is covered with countless spikes, and those spikes are so sharp that they seem to be able to cause a scar with just a slight scratch...

There is an eyeball every one meter or so on its body, and several eyeballs are staring at Xi Yao, refusing to look away until they burrow into the ground.

Xiyao was very confused at this moment.

Is this the 80-meter giant worm the guide was talking about?

Why didn't it come just now? It came after the third bead exploded...

Wait, a third bead?

Xiyao recalled some of the things the guide had said before, and instantly understood...

Those three beads are the fuse that lures out this giant insect!
