Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

After smelting all the mined cobalt blue and palladium, Xi Yao obtained 34 cobalt blue ingots and 58 palladium ingots respectively.

Xiyao then used the smelted cobalt ingots to create a new tool - a cobalt pickaxe, a "meat queen" primary tool with 110% pickaxe power. He also used palladium ingots to create a set of protective gear.

From the information book, we can learn that palladium ore contains rich life force. Anything made of pure palladium, whether it is equipment or weapons and tools, can benefit from the life force within it... In fact, to put it bluntly, it will increase life recovery after being injured.

After finishing all this, it was already evening, and the sunset glow outside emitted a golden orange light, shining on the grassland. However, Xi Yao was obviously not interested in the outside world, and was just flipping through the contents of the information book.

"Well... should we go to the corrupted land and destroy the demon altar now?" Although Xi Yao didn't quite understand the reason for doing this, he still set out to go to the corrupted land, even though night was approaching.

After coming outside, Xi Yao impatiently took out the Blade of Destruction from the void storage space, and then held it in his hand with difficulty.

"Hiss... How heavy is this thing?" Xi Yao panted while looking at the Blade of Destruction in his hand.

Then Xiyao thought of a way. He dragged the Destruction Blade along, which would reduce the consumption of energy... but the grass on the ground was cut open...

After dragging it for a distance, Xi Yao shook his head, thinking that it would be better to put the Blade of Destruction into the void space first and take it out when needed.

Just when he had just opened up the void storage space, Xi Yao suddenly saw a supernatural event - a suit of purple armor floated in the air and slowly walked towards him.

Seeing this, Xi Yao was stunned for a moment, then raised the Blade of Destruction with difficulty. The next second, the Blade of Destruction quickly slashed towards the floating armor!

However, what was even more bizarre was that the arm armor of this suit of armor actually stretched out and directly caught the Destruction Blade that was falling towards it!

Xiyao: ???

Seeing this, Xi Yao immediately drew out the Broken Ark and rushed towards the Armored Phantom Demon, then stabbed it - blocked it! Then he slashed it fiercely!

The next second, the armor shattered instantly and scattered all over the ground. Xi Yao put the Blade of Destruction into the void space, walked over, and picked up a piece of armor fragment.

"The evil aura...it is indeed the enemy of the Evil God Shenshangji." After saying that, Xi Yao squeezed the fragments in his hand hard, and then it turned into an invisible black and purple gas.

"It seems we have to speed up, otherwise more enemies will appear." As he said that, Xi Yao accelerated towards the direction of the corrupted land.

……

After fighting all the way, Xi Yao finally arrived not far from the Great Rift of Corruption. However, there were still several soul-eating monsters harassing him... No, it should be said that they were corrupters.

The Corruptor is formed after the original Soul Eater absorbed the scattered essence. The biggest difference is that the former can spit out corrupted saliva to carry out long-range attacks.

However, perhaps because they had absorbed the essence of the gods, the corrupted ones became smarter and each of them stayed far away from Xi Yao and launched long-range attacks instead of fighting him with their fangs in close combat.

Xi Yao kept waving Eternal Night to block the corrupt spit, but several of them still hit him... At this moment, a corrupted creature flew towards Xi Yao, as if provoking him.

Xi Yao seized the opportunity, flew up immediately and rushed towards the Corruptor! The Corruptor realized something was wrong and wanted to fly away, but it was too late. Xi Yao had already stabbed the Broken Ark! Then Xi Yao grasped the charged Broken Ark and slashed at the Corruptor! Only rotten flesh and blood fell down.

Then Xi Yao quickly turned around and swung the Broken Ark at the other Corrupters. Nine sword energies struck accurately and killed all the remaining Corrupters.

After dealing with these enemy monsters, Xi Yao ran towards the Corruption Rift without any hesitation and then jumped down.

As he fell, Xi Yao pulled open the visor of his palladium helmet, poured a bottle of healing potion down his throat, and then wiped the corners of his mouth.

"The Evil God's Death Chronicles... is really terrifying..." Xi Yao muttered to himself.

Although Xi Yao's words sounded discouraging, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, but determination.

"But it's also very exciting?" Xi Yao said half-jokingly... As soon as he finished speaking, he fell underground in the corrupt land.

Then Xi Yao drank a bottle of light potion, and the light he emitted illuminated the entire dark and corrupt underground.

He then looked around and found several demon altars on the left.

Let’s finish the work early and go back early... Thinking of this, Xi Yao took out the divine hammer from the void storage space and walked towards the devil’s altar.

"Bang!" The first hammer fell! The demon altar emitted a faint purple light.

"Bang!" The second hammer hits down!

"Bang!" The third hammer!

"Bang!" The fourth hammer fell, and Xi Yao frowned slightly. He didn't expect this thing to be so hard.

Then Xi Yao stood still, raised the divine hammer, and then smashed it towards the demon altar even harder!

"Rip--rip!" After the last hammer fell, the light emitted by the demon altar immediately went out, and then it tore apart like a rag doll, and a bunch of purple particles flowed out.

The strange thing is that these purple particles did not diffuse into the air, but floated quietly in the air, constantly rotating...

Then Xiyao took out the prepared glass bottle and put the purple particles in it. Then Xiyao held the glass bottle, looked at the particles and muttered to himself:

"Is this... the Shadow Soul?"

Xi Yao planned to go back and take a closer look, so he swung the divine hammer again, and the next second he smashed it hard at another demon altar!

However, just as Xi Yao was about to strike for the second time, he suddenly sensed a strange aura. He immediately threw down the divine hammer, then instinctively pulled out the Eternal Night, and then looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, a pair of red eyes appeared from the wall in front of Xiyao, and then slowly floated towards Xiyao.

After seeing the appearance of the evil spirit clearly, Xi Yao immediately and decisively slashed Eternal Night at the evil spirit. However, the evil spirit was like a ball of gas, which was chopped into pieces and then reassembled.

Xi Yao did not believe in evil and stabbed out Yong Ye again, directly piercing the evil spirit! However, the shattered gas reorganized again.

Seeing this, Xi Yao took a few steps back, somewhat at a loss, until he reached the wall.

"Could it be that Eternal Night has no effect on dark monsters?" Thinking of this, Xi Yao immediately pulled out the Broken Ark, and then stabbed it fiercely at the evil spirit in front of him!

"what!!!"

The evil spirit suddenly let out a creepy scream, then quickly floated back, and its eyes changed from mockery to fear.

"Light restrains darkness? That makes sense..." As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yao rushed forward and slashed the Broken Ark towards the evil spirit!

"Ah!!!" As the creepy scream lingered underground in the corrupted land, the evil spirit dissipated into a pile of gas.

After solving this small obstacle, Xi Yao walked towards the demon altar, picked up the divine hammer on the ground and smashed it down hard.

……

As an ancient sword energy accurately hit the evil spirit, it instantly dissipated into a ball of black gas.

Xi Yao quickly took out a glass bottle, put the scattered shadow souls after destroying the demon altar into it, and then took out the teleportation potion.

"So every time a demon altar is destroyed, an enemy monster will appear?" As he said this, Xi Yao pulled up the mask of his palladium helmet and then drank the teleportation potion.

……

After returning to the wooden cabin, Xi Yao first opened the Book of Terra and looked up the information about the Shadow Soul.

"This thing has so many uses?"

Xi Yao looked at the contents of the book with some surprise. It recorded all the information about the Shadow Soul, how to obtain it, its uses, etc. However, its uses actually filled up several pages!

After learning some information, Xi Yao cut open the void space and took out 20 glass bottles, each of which contained 2 shadow souls.

"Put it away first." After saying that, Xi Yao stood up and walked to the box specially used to store materials and put four glass bottles in it.

Then he looked at his pocket watch. It was already 12:15 p.m. After taking off his palladium armor, Xi Yao stretched and returned to his room.

……

At the same time, in the Kingdom of Inastan, on the southern front.

The regular army of the Inastan royal family is fighting against the Abyss Society, the largest illegal organization in the Inastan Kingdom. The battlefield is filled with smoke and artillery fire.

The commander-in-chief of the Inastan Kingdom’s army, Bai Hu, was leading the battle with his wounds. At this moment, a communicator came over, saluted Bai Hu and other commanders, and then read out the intelligence:

"Good news, the Abyss Society's Red Army has been routed. Optimistic predictions show that there are less than five enemy troops left. Commander-in-Chief, should we pursue them and annihilate them?"

Hearing this, the white fox first spat out the dirt in his mouth, then wiped his mouth. The next second, his eyes became firm and murderous: "Chase! Don't let any of them go!"

"Yes!" The communicator saluted again and then quickly ran to the front line.

Then the white fox shook his head: "I didn't expect that... the Red Project of the Abyss Society would actually breed such a group of monsters... Only 93 people can fight a tug-of-war with our more than soldiers equipped with the primary weapons of the Heretic God's Age of Death..."

White Fox muttered to himself, then took out the communicator, twisted the antenna and said, "Hello, I'm Commander-in-Chief White Fox. How is the war on the Western Front going? Over."

After hesitating for two seconds, the other party replied: "We have already reached the base of the Hellfire Society. There is a high possibility of successfully annihilating them. After all, the teleportation potion has no effect here. Over."

"So, what if they have external help and drink the wormhole potion to escape?" asked the white fox.

"...I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief. As you know, the space barrier cannot prevent the wormhole potion...and the space barrier has been a little unstable recently..."

"No matter what, I hope that when I see you again, you will be holding Chris's head in your hands. Over." After saying that, the white fox crushed the communicator expressionlessly.

A young commander nearby asked timidly, "Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief, why do you require us to wipe out all these organizations?"

"...You know, the seal has been broken, and now the evil god Shenshangji has returned to the world. If large illegal organizations like the Qinglian Society, the Hellfire Society, and the Abyss Society are not completely annihilated, then after they develop for a period of time, the kingdom will not be able to fight them alone..."

After saying that, the white fox shook his head, then looked up at the moon in the sky.

"Fortunately, we have the advantage now," said the white fox.
