Chapter 24: The Soul Stone
twilight
Under Shirley's training, Hou Ye, who was already tired like a dog, was finally liberated. With Shirley's support, the www.biquge.info returned to her home.
"You're going to stay with me for the next few days." Shirley said, "It's easier to do anything then." ”
Hou Ye, who was lying on the bed and was weak and aching, snorted, and did not refuse Shirley's proposal. He was so tired that he lay on the bed and fell asleep in barely a breath, not even eating dinner.
In this way, Hou Ye, who was painful and happy, spent seven days under the guidance of Shirley, and every day, Hou Ye could almost feel his progress.
Early in the morning of the eighth day
After breakfast, Hou Ye said goodbye to Shirley. He had to fulfill Akara's request, or what if he lost such a powerful gem in his backpack? He won't be able to afford it then.
After preparing all the necessary consumables, Hou Ye once again embarked on a journey to the evil cave.
According to the previous route, Hou Ye, who had spent two and a half days, once again stood in front of the evil cave.
Eerie as always.
After making sure that there were no other job changers around, Hou Ye solemnly took out the Brilliant Starlight Ruby from his backpack, then aimed it directly below the seal, and gently put it down.
There was no movement.
"Could it be that I'm misplaced?" Hou Ye, who looked left and right, looked up and down, but didn't notice any change, couldn't help but wonder if he had misplaced it, and was about to bend down to put the gem again, when a dazzling light suddenly appeared.
"Is that you?" There was a light sound, the voice was ethereal and illusory, and it seemed very unreal.
Hou Ye, who had already taken a few steps back when the light appeared, raised his head and looked up and down at the person who suddenly appeared...... No, it shouldn't be a person, it's a soul to be precise.
A mage robe that looked luxurious and expensive, with a hint of consternation on his slightly feminine face. It seems that he didn't expect that the person who woke him up would be the person in front of him.
"Ahem!" Clearing his throat, Hou Ye opened his mouth and said, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Hou Ye, and I was asked by Lord Akara to put that gem there." ”
The soul looked down and saw that the gem beneath him was emitting a soft glow, a thick energy pouring out of the light and into his body, and it was this energy that maintained the form of his soul.
"Lord Akara......" A trace of gratitude appeared in the eyes of the soul, but it was fleeting, and Hou Ye did not see it.
raised his head and put his gaze back on Hou Ye's body.
"Hou Ye? I have the impression that the last time you were with Shirley, I saw it all. "So, tell me, what is your relationship with Shirley?" ”
The soul's words made Hou Ye stunned, it knows me? Do you know Shirley? Who is he?
"It should be a friend...... Hou Ye thought for a while and said.
"Friend...... the soul muttered, as if relieved, and his tone softened considerably, "My name is Vio, and I'm a mage. ”
Vio? I always feel like I've heard this name somewhere......
"By the way, Lord Akara told me to take the gem and come to the Evil Cave and place it directly below the seal, and said that when the time comes, I will understand what to do next. So...... What should I do next? ”
"It's simple." Vio pointed to the gem under him, "Just take the gem back to camp and give it to Acala." ”
"It's that simple?" Hou Ye was a little incredulous. At that time, what Akara said was so mysterious, he thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that he would come to the evil cave and put a gem, and then bring it back.
"Of course." "But it's not in a hurry. If you're going through it, just go for it. Just don't lose it. After speaking, Wei Ao's soul seemed to have lost its energy, gradually becoming dim, and then disappeared in front of Hou Ye's eyes.
“…… I really ......" Hou Ye had the urge to scold his mother, but fortunately, since Vio said that this gem was not in a hurry to return it to Akara, then treat it as an experience, anyway, with so many consumables, you can't go back without doing anything.
Picking up the gem, the originally brilliant gem had become dim at this time, and the powerful attribute was gone, and it turned into a ......
Brilliant Star Ruby (Soul Stone)
jewel
It cannot be placed in the insert hole of the equipment
Durability: 100 out of 100
Consumes one durability within twenty-four hours
"What the hell is this?" Hou Ye rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong, what kind of attribute was this? Soul Stone? What is this?
Hou Ye suddenly had a feeling of unreality.
Not to mention that this gem itself is a gem that only appeared in the Diablo Three. He had never heard of the Soul Stone in the game, and not only did it not increase durability, but he also dropped a little durability every day, which he had never seen in his life!
"The change of the gem should have something to do with the mage named Vio......" Hou Ye guessed, after all, the change of the gem only changed after he appeared.
"Forget it......" Throwing the gem into the backpack, Hou Ye simply stopped thinking about these things, "After I go back and return the gem to Akara after the experience, this matter will be over, why do you think about this, you wasted your brain cells in vain." ”
"Then ...... next" Hou Ye took out the map, confirmed his location, and headed in the southeast direction, "Let's go to the hinterland of the Blood Wasteland." ”
According to the information marked on the map, the closer you get to the edge of the Blood Wasteland, the fewer demons there are, and the further you go inside, the more they are, and many of them are even painted by the map's maker with a bright red cross with a sign of extreme danger written on the side.
In the two days from the camp to the evil cave, he has killed a lot of sunken demons and zombies he encountered, and his experience points have reached level 5 3840/90000, so the goal this time is to upgrade to level six, and then unlock the skill rune. He was quite curious, the power of skill runes in this real dark world!
After walking for more than an hour or so, Hou Ye finally saw a small Sinking Demon Camp. However, although it is a small camp, the number of Sinking Demons in it is definitely not small, dozens of Sinking Demons are dancing their unique dance of the Sinking Demon Clan around a cauldron, and the three Sinking Magicians are waving their wizard staffs, chanting something in a whisper.
Looking at such a number of Sinking Demon Camps, Hou Ye felt no waves in his heart, if it was said that he had encountered so many Sinking Demons before he reached the fifth level, he would definitely have to make a low-key detour in shock, but now...... Hehe!
Rapid Shooting!!
He took out the short bow from his backpack and slowly pulled the bowstring towards the Fallen Demons.
In an instant, the arrows flew towards them furiously.
