Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"Really?" Prism turned his head and looked at Xi Yao.

"Of course... Oh, by the way, you too..." After saying that, Xi Yao couldn't help but think of the first time he encountered Prism...

"...Are you praising or criticizing me?" After Prism said this, she raised her foot and stepped on the green grass of the sacred land.

Xi Yao smiled without saying anything, and then stepped on the grass of the sacred land.

"Answer me." Prism said, turning his head slightly.

"Ahem... both... To be honest, the impression you give me is that of a rose with thorns..."

“……” Prism slowly stopped walking and stood there in silence.

Xi Yao shook his head and looked into the distance... Then he found a very conspicuous mountain about three hundred meters away.

However, the entrance to the cave on this high mountain showed obvious signs of artificial modification. The entire entrance was supported by several metal brackets, and a flag was fluttering in the wind.

"That is……"

"That is a cave passage built by the Kingdom of Inastan." Prism came up at some point and answered Xi Yao.

"Huh? Why do you say it was built by that country?" Xi Yao asked her.

"The flag next to the cave entrance is the flag of the Kingdom of Inastan." Prism replied.

"...Really...wait, cave passage? Well, it just so happens that our trip to the sacred land this time is to go to the cave to obtain the soul of light..." After saying that, Xi Yao walked towards the cave passage built by the Kingdom of Inastan.

"But there are probably guards there..."

"Huh? So what if there are guards guarding it?" Xi Yao turned around and asked puzzledly.

Hearing this, Prism held his forehead speechlessly: "...Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Do you think the Kingdom of Inastan is a charity? That passage will not be allowed to people who do not belong to their country..."

"Uh...it seems to be the case..." Xi Yao then held his forehead to hide his embarrassment.

Prism closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened her eyes again, she found a bunch of yellow light balls hovering in the air not far away. These yellow light balls had a pair of thin wings on one side, which allowed them to float in the air...

However, a yellow ball of light seemed to have discovered the prism, changed its position, and slowly flew towards her.

"...Hmm? Is this...an enemy?" Prism pointed at the yellow ball of light that was slowly flying towards her.

"It should be... Be careful, don't be fooled by its harmless appearance..." However, before Xi Yao finished speaking, he saw the prism enter stealth mode...

The next second, three blue beams flew towards the yellow ball of light at high speed! They smashed it directly! Then some golden dust slowly fell down.

"Uh... I forgot that you are not a normal girl..." Xi Yao said, holding his forehead.

"I've seen this kind of monster in a book. It's called a goblin. Apart from now, the last time it appeared in the world was decades ago..."

Xi Yao walked over, grabbed the golden dust on the ground with one hand, and with the other hand he cut open the void space, took out the Book of Terra and opened it.

(The Book of Terra: This is the information book left by the guide. Now the name is officially confirmed, and the previous text will be revised.)

"Fairy dust... can be used to refine medicine, make weapons and accessories... It seems I should collect some..." As he said this, Xi Yao took out a glass bottle from the void space and put most of the fairy dust into the bottle.

"Xi Yao, there are still a lot of goblins over there." After Prism said this, he pointed at the group of goblins not far away.

Xi Yao looked over and shook his head after a moment: "Uh... they may be holding some mysterious ceremony... let's just ignore them..." After saying that, Xi Yao looked again at the cave leading to the underground sacred place on the mountain in the distance.

"... Never mind. If all else fails, we can just find a random spot to dig..."

Prism was silent for a moment and then stepped forward: "In fact, we can kill those guards, so that we can go in..."

"It's better not to kill any more people... I have eight lives on my hands now..."

"8 is a lot? How about you guess how many people I have killed now?" As he said that, Prism took off the Statis mask.

After a moment of silence, Xi Yao shook his head: "I don't want to guess..."

"Then I'll tell you... Since I joined the Red Plan, I've killed... um... about 150 people... Oh, that doesn't include the Inastan Royal Army. If you count them all... it's close to 300 people."

"You..." Xi Yao held his forehead and looked at the prism.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Prism said, playfully sticking out his tongue and licking his pink lips, then smiled slightly.

Xi Yao looked at Prism: "...Prism, I hope you can be a normal girl again. I don't want to be a companion with a dark girl..."

Prism smiled and shook his head: "Mayor Xiyao, this is Terraria. In such a cruel world, no matter who you are, you have to become stronger if you want to survive... As for those normal girls, which one can survive on her own? I think you should understand this truth, right?"

"...I will change you..." After Xi Yao finished speaking, he cut open the void space and took out a black box with a half-black and half-purple key attached to it.

"How long has this thing been gathering dust..." Xi Yao muttered to himself as he looked at the compressed agate drill in his hand.

Then Xi Yao inserted the key into the keyhole on the black box and twisted it a few times. The black box immediately underwent a complex mechanical deformation. After just a few seconds, the palm-sized box turned into an agate drill.

The agate drilling rig is not big, about the size of a motorcycle, and can barely accommodate two people.

"Did you make this?" Prism asked in surprise.

"No, this is something made by Jiaden. It seems to have been looted from a laboratory more than half a year ago..." Xiyao said, and then sat on the agate drill...

...Then Xi Yao was stunned by the complicated holographic control panel on the agate drill.

"High technology..." Xi Yao couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you going to dig a tunnel here?" Prism asked.

"No... I'm just getting familiar with the operation first..." As he said that, Xi Yao placed his hand on the holographic control panel, and then began to familiarize himself with the operation.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Prism turned her head and looked around, then she said softly: "I'll go clean up the enemies around first."

"Well, go ahead..." Xi Yao was operating the agate drill with his head down. He just responded and didn't say anything else.
