Chapter 553: The Big Hole in the Coffin, Michaela's "Fragments"

Deep in the pit, there is another world.

A large pit formed a vast underground space, which continued to extend forward, and the entire pit was filled with floating purple mist. The huge sarcophagus that I had seen before on the Blue Coast was stacked and staggered in various places in the pit, connecting to form a downward path.

And in the big hole, there were more gray mud monsters that had been seen before crawling around, and from time to time there was a fat and ugly humanoid monster walking around.

"That kind of monster, I remember it was called a blood monster?" Li You had also seen a small number of blood monsters in other places in the Shadow Land. Leida mentioned that this group of guys seemed to be related to the Mother of Truth.

"Yes, they are relatively common enemies in this shadow land, although I don't know where they came from..." Xu Liye consciously acted as an explainer, but he didn't know much more than Li You.

Li You came to the edge of the entrance cliff and looked down. He saw the shadows of a large number of sarcophagi in the thick fog below the pit, and there seemed to be more space.

So Li You picked up Xu Liye and left: "You should be able to shout to find the direction, right? You lead the way."

As they spoke, Li You and V went down along the sarcophagus, going deeper and deeper. They left the slow-moving mud monsters alone, but still had to clear out the wandering blood monsters.

Fortunately, although the blood monster was big in size, its movements were relatively slow, making it a sitting duck for the two men, so they just chopped at it.

As for Xu Liye, he was held in Li You's hand the whole time, and he didn't dare to speak. Although he was treated as a pendant, he knew that he had no fighting ability, so he was naturally happy to be taken by the boss to see Tolina as soon as possible... but he was a little nauseous because of the shaking.

"Pfft-"

The lightning and moonlight penetrated the fat torso of the last blood monster, twisting it and tearing all his internal organs apart. As Li You pulled out the knife, the blood monster also fell to the ground, and the rough fork spear in his hand fell to the ground.

"These blood monsters seem to be able to use the power of hypnosis?" Li You looked at the fallen spear fork, which was coated with lavender hypnotic oil. In the game, that was a sign that could induce an abnormal state of sleep.

After finally taking a breath, Xu Liye pressed his chest and said, "Yes, that is the power of Lady Tolina. These blood monsters should have been attracted here by Lady Tolina, so - Wow!!"

He had just said half of his words when Li You suddenly rushed out, and the sudden gust of wind blocked the rest of Xu Liye's words back into his stomach.

Li You increased his speed to full speed, and the two blood monsters blocking the way in front of him only felt a few gusts of strong wind and flashes of swords before their eyes, and their bodies broke into pieces.

By the time Hullie recovered, Li You had already reached the cliff at the end of the clearing. Here, another cross pierced diagonally into the ground.

Xu Liye was also stunned, not caring about the discomfort in his stomach: "This is... the cross sign of Lady Michaela? Here?"

"What's so strange about this? He threw his body parts everywhere, which is too normal here." Li You said, reaching out to touch the cross sign.

Xu Liye obviously wanted to refute. Although he was obsessed with Torina and the charm on her body had been lifted, he was a weak person and still felt that he was on Michaela's side. However, due to Li You's dominance, he naturally did not speak.

However, Li You's expression suddenly changed after he touched the cross mark. V and Xu Liye saw it clearly.

V immediately approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li You withdrew his hand: "You will know when you see it for yourself." As he said that, he put Xu Liye down.

V and Hullie stepped forward and reached out to touch it, and the words that Michaela had carved appeared in their minds:
"Abandon my love here."

V was also startled. Although Xu Liye's expression could not be seen due to his mask, his body began to tremble.

Li Youze was thinking that from the words engraved on this cross, many things could be confirmed.

He looked around again, and then found a floating white light spot in the open space not far away. Li You took out the soul-calling bell and shook it gently. A kneeling white soul body condensed in the light spot.

"Sure enough."

In the game, this kind of white soul body is distributed in many places, including the main body. They are all souls of the dead, playing the role of supplementing the background and answering questions.

However, at the border, Li You had only seen these floating white dots of light, and these souls did not seem to appear directly like in the game. But with the Soul Summoning Bell, Li You could make them appear and listen to what they had to say.

After the kneeling white spirit appeared in front of him, Li You tried to touch it, and heard the words engraved in its soul:
"Master Mikaela, you have given up something that you should never give up. If you can't even save half of your own body, how can you possibly save all living beings?"

"...Sure enough." This statement was very straightforward. Saint Torina represented Michaela's "love", but she was also abandoned. Li You even doubted whether Michaela, who had abandoned everything, was still the same person.

He returned to the cross, looked at the upright flag, thought for a moment, and suddenly drew out the spiral sword!
Under the surprised gaze of V and Hullier, Li You smashed the golden mark hard with the spiral sword!
"Click——"

There was a familiar cracking sound, and the cross broke in the middle and fell.

Xu Liye was horrified: "How can this be...what did you do!?"

Li You didn't even look at him. After the cross sign broke, all the light converged and finally gathered into a floating limb and a body.

It was hard to tell which part of the human body the limb belonged to. It was clearly a piece of corpse, but it did not make people feel scary or disgusted. Instead, it had a sense of sacredness. There was no blood oozing from the broken end, but a clean golden light.

When Xu Liye saw the piece of body fragment, he almost couldn't help but bow down to salute, but Li You grabbed it casually and attached it to his hand through the air.

"Obtained props: Michaela's body parts, I wonder what the use of them is." Li You said to himself.

Hurier: “???”

"What the hell are you doing!?"

Li You was too lazy to pay attention to him. After testing it, he put the body parts into the system backpack: "Don't worry about it. If you want to see Tolina, don't talk nonsense." In fact, up to now, Xu Liye has no use to Li You, and he is also the indirect pusher who caused Kara to be cheated by Michaela. However, Li is not a person who does not distinguish right from wrong. That incident is not the fault of Xu Liye, so he will not vent his anger.

And according to experience, in Lao Zei's DLC, all NPCs must have their own roles. If in the game, Xu Liye's branch quest is obviously strongly related to Tolina, so Li You brought him along as well.

"Okay, let's go and continue looking for people." As he said that, Li You picked up Xu Liye again and continued to move forward. Xu Liye was angry but dared not say anything.

Continuing down along the road built of staggered huge sarcophagi, Li You saw some familiar enemies, such as stone worms made up of round stones connected together, tomb-guarding bird golems that he had seen in other places in the Shadow Land, and more mud monsters.

V originally thought that these crawling molten mud monsters were quite amusing, but then he learned from Hullie that the so-called molten mud was actually mud formed by the accumulation and decay of the flesh and blood of the dead. He almost couldn't hold back.

However, these enemies did not pose any obstacle to Li You and V. They were much easier to deal with than the Flame Knights in the Species Collection. So soon, they broke through and came to the depths of the sarcophagus cave.

"Are you sure? Saint Tolina is here?" Li You asked Xu Liye.

Hurier nodded: "I, I can smell that unique fragrance. Lady Tolina must be nearby."

"...I don't quite understand your search principle." Li You also tried to smell it, but he only smelled some kind of flower fragrance floating around and couldn't tell the direction. But anyway, it's good to be able to find the person.

"According to the map, we should go this way, but this road doesn't go down, but goes deeper." Li You still felt a little strange, "Based on the distance, we should be above the sea now."

"Isn't that dangerous?" V said, "Yuzu isn't here. If it's like last time and the place is flooded, it won't be easy for the two of us to get out."

Li You: "...Just shut up, your bad words have come true many times."

V (whistling): "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Li You glanced at her and didn't continue the topic, otherwise he was afraid that he would really withdraw his flag on the spot: "After all, with Saint Tolina here, it shouldn't be... huh?"

He suddenly paused and said nothing, which made V and Hullie nervous: "What's wrong? Could it be..."

"No, there is an enemy." Li You said, letting go of Xu Liye and drawing out the spiral sword.

Then, a translucent spirit emerged on the road ahead.

It turned out to be a lion hybrid holding a huge iron sword, but its body was light gold in color, and it obviously possessed divine power.

After seeing Li You and the other two, the lion hybrid spirit immediately rushed up with an iron sword in hand!

Li You raised the spiral sword, which had turned into a big sword, and ferociously blocked its attack. However, the lion hybrid did not stop and continued to press forward with swift and fierce attacks!

"Oh?"

During the fight with the spirit, Li You realized that the magic power in its body was very strong, so that although it was a spirit, it was stronger than a normal lion hybrid, with more outstanding strength and speed.

Moreover, it could actually use prayer. As it took a stance and swung its sword, a light golden halo shot out and slashed towards Li You!

"The prayer that Leida used?"

Li You naturally recognized this move, and combined with the holy magic power all over the lion hybrid spirit, it was obvious that it was also a guard placed here by Michaela.

"That's really straightforward, but what a pity...!"

Li You dodged the flying halo with a flash, then thrust the fire sword in his hand straight forward, deflecting the lion hybrid's sword and piercing its chest on the spot!

As the flames on the Fire Sword rolled up, the lion hybrid spirit dissipated, leaving only a piece of parchment with words on it. Li You picked it up and saw that it was the prayer of "Overlapping Halo".

"Oh, I have to thank Michaela for that."

Li You put away the parchment and looked at Xu Liye beside him: "Where to go next?"

Just now, Li You put Xu Liye down, but he did not think of running away. Instead, he was trembling with fear and planned to join the battle.

Although he could only release the poison secretly from a distance, which was not only ineffective against spirits but also almost touched V, so he was kicked by V, but at least he made his attitude clear.

So Li You didn't bother to mention him and gave him some basic respect.

And Huliye put away the dark green poisonous perfume bottle in his hand and said, "...I think it's just ahead."

Following his instructions, Li You came to the end of a stone coffin, which stretched out diagonally from the cliff, and beyond the end was a bottomless abyss.

Then Hurier pointed downwards: "Right...there."

Li You: "......"

He seemed to see the figure of an old knight wearing a red turban, pointing at the cliff below and saying to him: "Jump down, you won't die."

Li You: You are amazing.
