Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 329: Border Bank - Corruption Lake Branch
A vast red ocean appeared before Bai Shi's eyes.

The scarlet corruption, thick to the point of being black and pus-like, was boiling violently in the lake.

In the very center of the lake, towering scarlet trees seemed to penetrate from top to bottom, supporting this underground space.

Scarlet mist filled the air, pink fungi covered the rock walls, and the sky was filled with the scent of disease.

However, such an environment is not without vitality.

On the contrary, the unique ecology of scarlet corruption is spreading vigorously here.

The corrupt butterflies fluttered their wings and danced in the scarlet mist, while the corrupt followers and cursed frogs swam freely in the corrupt lake.

The mushroom people paced in the lake, occasionally kneeling down to worship the giant tree in the center of the Corruption Lake.

Bai Shi was looking at the corrupt lake in front of him, observing the situation.

Suddenly, Baizhi ignited the remaining fire and let the flames burn his body fiercely.

Something was invading his lungs.

Bai Shi understood immediately that when he breathed, the strong smell of corruption penetrated into his body through every pore.

Fortunately, the raging flames burning from the inside out burned the corrupt mycelium, and the strange feeling disappeared immediately.

Fire is the most direct means of dealing with scarlet corruption.

Bai Shi's face looked somewhat confused and doubtful.

Should we say that it is worthy of being the place where the true body of the corrupt god is sealed?

The concentration of scarlet corruption here is completely different from that in the Ionian swamps in Galid.

After all, the scarlet corruption in Galide is just the area affected by the aftermath of Marlennia releasing her corrupt power.

The scarlet corruption here is probably equivalent to the level that General Latan had to endure back then.

Just by looking at the color, you can tell that the center of the lake can definitely be compared to the corruption that erupted right next to Malenia.

While the very edge of the lake might not be as terrifying, it was certainly far more terrifying than the Ionian swamps in Gaelid.

Bai Shi did not dare to be careless and kept the remaining fire burning.

Squatting down, Bai Shi stretched out his hand and reached into the corrupt lake water.

The corrupt lake water seemed to have life as it clung to his hands.

After feeling the flames, the corrupt lake water quickly moved away from Bai Shi's hands very sensitively.

This is not really a lake, but more like some kind of swarm of life, some kind of red tide.

Seeing this situation, Bai Shi began to think deeply.

He has always had doubts about the seal of the scarlet corrupt god.

Although he was in a sealed state, he was able to transfer the power of origin directly to Malenia out of thin air.

You have to know that Malenia is not an ordinary person who can occupy a body casually.

That is a pure golden Outer God, a golden demigod born from the "self-fertilization" of Marika and Radagon.

And it happened right in front of them, in the Golden Dynasty Rodel.

If the corrupt god is in a sealed state, then it is a bit too free.

According to Baizhi's cognition, the seal should be something that crushes the person to death and completely isolates him from the outside world.

If there is a leakage of power that can affect the outside world, it means that the seal is loose.

However, the Water Swordsman's sealing method seems a little unusual.

With the help of the goblins, this seems to be a seal in the conceptual sense.

Stagnation will bring sedimentation, sedimentation will cause corruption, but flowing water does not corrupt.

As it should be, the upper and lower reaches of the Ansel River are all normal, only the middle is firmly occupied by corruption.

Although Bai Shi could understand that this method was clever and could restrict gods with terrifying and unpredictable strength.

But I always feel that this is still very dangerous...

It seems like an area has been left directly for corruption to operate.

Now the corrupt gods might just be unable to leave the Corruption Lake.

It's not necessarily the case that one is completely sealed and cannot use any power at all.

It's very dangerous, so you'd better be more careful.

But as a god that can be sealed by humans, it is somewhat embarrassing.

Bai Shi is temporarily under the Flowing Water Sword bestowed by the fairy. The strength of the Flowing Water Swordsman can reach the level of the king and god.

Although it has not been reached yet, Bai Shi is only a tiny bit away from that level.

Bai Shi is not arrogant, but he also thinks that he is definitely not inferior to others.

Without such self-confidence, how can you be king?

The Flowing Water Swordsman can seal the corrupt god, so even Bai Shi will not be so passive when facing the corrupt god now.

What's more, there are differences between gods. Not every one of them is as strong as Pi Dan and the Fake Supreme Will.

So, if there is benefit, Bai Shi doesn't mind corrupting the gods.

He also wanted to see the true strength of the gods.

Bai Shi stood up and shook his hands subconsciously even though there was no corruption on his hands.

With the embers burning, the corrupting power of the lake could no longer erode the white consciousness.

After confirming that the current corruption was not enough to affect him, Bai Shi felt a little relieved.

Looking at the huge lake of corruption, Bai Shi sighed.

This is the lake of corruption that our old man is surrounded by!

The first cyber bathtub for young people. Do your other games have such a bathtub?
Hidetaka Miyazaki got inspiration from his own bathtub, and hopes that all players can enjoy the fun of taking a bath. The reason behind it is enough to cause third-degree burns.

Bai Shi stood on the shore, looking at the vast Lake of Corruption, feeling a little strange.

The terrain inside the Corruption Lake is not quite the same as I remember.

In his impression, the Corruption Lake was very empty and there were only a few kinds of living creatures.

Although there are five mechanisms that can summon the buildings and platforms submerged at the bottom of the lake, there is only a small amount of space in total.

But now the corrupt lake in front of Bai Shi looked completely different.

These large buildings are completely unfamiliar.

The buildings here have obvious architectural style features of ancient dynasties similar to the Ulug and Ud dynasties, and buildings of all sizes are scattered in the Corruption Lake.

The smaller ones are the ruins of the community, dilapidated and occupied by creatures such as cursed frogs.

The huge buildings could not even be seen in their entirety, and were looming in the red fog.

Several huge staircases illuminated by braziers emerged from the Lake of Corruption, leading to a series of vaguely magnificent buildings.

Although the corrupt followers have collective wisdom, they never seem to have displayed their talent and ability in construction.

From this perspective, it is probably the ruins of an ancient dynasty.

In addition to the large number of buildings filling the space, the lake is also very lively now.

The density of creatures living here is extremely high, to the extent that a meteorite thrown at random can kill a large number of cursed frogs and corrupt followers.

Not only do the densely packed corrupt dependents live and roam here.

A group of species that Bai Shi was very familiar with also took root here and multiplied into a large population.

They wore deformed giant horn ornaments on their heads, and a large number of mushrooms grew on the top of their heads and between their horns.

On the body, bones and flesh are exposed from under the skin, covered by a thick layer of mycelium.

These are a group of ancestral spirits infected by corruption.

Bai Shi noticed these corrupted ancestral spirits and felt a little strange. Corrupted ancestral spirits did exist in version 1.0, but they were already abandoned.

However, its appearance here, although surprising, seems to be reasonable.

After all, the people of the ancestors are the remnants of the ancient dynasty, and this place was originally their residence.

Moreover, the people of the ancestors follow the teachings of nature, reject metal and civilization, and attach importance to the law of reincarnation of life and death.

Corruption is indeed the law of reincarnation, and life and death reach abundance in the continuous cycle of corruption.
-
Bai Shi shook his head.

Although the terrain has changed a lot, the existence of the most important large corridor should not have changed.

I just don't know where the Grand Corridor is now.

No matter what, let’s find a way first.

Bai Shi took the first step in exploring the Lake of Corruption.

Then he was surrounded by a large number of cursed frogs that rushed out of the lake.

With huge eyes of the dead, the cursed frog launched a surprise attack on Bai Shi from the Corrupted Lake.

Faced with the unexpected intruder, the cursed frogs were very excited.

The curse frogs inhaled a large amount of air in one breath, puffed up their abdomens, and then exhaled violently.

A large number of curse frogs attacked at the same time, and the black and yellow sudden death mist instantly enveloped Bai Shi's body.

Bai Shi looked at these little cuties and waved his hand with a cold expression.

A strong wind suddenly blew up, dispersing the fog filled with the breath of death and cutting all the cursed frogs into pieces.

As the mascot of fs club and the permanent guests in Laozei's game, the curse frogs are quite "likable".

Although the curse frogs will hide in various corners waiting to attack, and they always come in a group, their strange appearance is actually very pleasing to the eye after looking at them for a long time.

This is the best proof that Lao Zei has raped the players’ aesthetic taste (sad).

At least Bai Shi doesn't like the cursed frogs that have raped characters in the game many times.

Especially when you see it in person.

Although a wave of curse frogs were wiped out, Bai Shi had to face more than just these guys.

The noise made by the cursed frogs attracted the attention of other creatures in the Corrupted Lake.

Like a chain reaction, the scarlet and corrupt lake water began to boil.

The scarlet waves hit the shore one after another, and the red tide continued to surge towards the white consciousness.

The dependents of corruption emerged from the lake of corruption.

They floated in the lake with their arms raised high, and dense silk threads sprayed out from their special organs, locking onto Baizhi like homing missiles.

At the same time, the corrupt ancestors on the ruins of buildings in the distance were also ready.

Even if it has become a completely different life due to the infection of corruption, the skills it once possessed will never be forgotten.

The people of the corrupt ancestors put red fluorescent arrows, which contained corrupt souls, on their bows.

The next moment, these slender arrows flew over from the limit of visual range.

Although they are not the familiar ancestral people, the 'sniper rifle' is equally terrifying.

The storm surrounded Bai Shi, stopping all these reckless flying objects.

The red dragon thunder descended, turning the corrupt lake water into a thunder prison.

All the corrupt followers nearby were turned into ashes under the thunder of destruction.

The dense corpses sank into the scarlet lake of corruption and were instantly decomposed into basic nutrients, nourishing the spread of corruption again.

Bai Shi looked at the densely packed corrupt creatures in the lake and laughed.

I don’t know if it’s because of the strong corruption, but the life force of the Cursed Frog and its corrupt followers increased, and they exploded quite a lot of runes.

The essence of Rune is the power of life, which is related to the strength of life force.

Therefore, no matter what kind of life it is, even the Esti who came from the starry sky will explode with runes after their death.

It seems that these creatures are too close to the power of the corrupt gods and have been subtly influenced.

Moreover, the biological density here is ridiculously high, and it can only be an ecosystem in which the power of corrupt gods participate.

The leaked power nourishes the corrupt creatures, allowing them to continue to multiply in this incomplete abundance.

So how many corrupt creatures are there here?
Ten thousand? One hundred thousand? Or more?
There's no way to estimate it.

Bai Shi only knew that he was going to kill a lot of people.

Having witnessed the power of the false supreme will, Bai Shi now needs Rune.

There are so many of them, that’s a good way to get souls.

Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, start!
5x Rune acquisition rate (60 minutes remaining).

The red mist drifted from the shore into the lake, giving shape to the storm.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, not only the red fog but even the lake water was blown away from the shore.

After dispelling the scarlet corruption around his body, Bai Shi felt inexplicably refreshed.

Purple gravity waves spread from under Bai Shi's feet, rapidly expanding to the entire Corruption Lake, and together with the storm locked onto the dense biological reactions in the lake.

"I will kill you all within these sixty minutes without leaving a single piece of armor."

Gravity locked the tides of the Corrupted Lake, and the corrupt creatures in the lake suddenly discovered that the water they once swam in had become extremely viscous.

The storm echoed in the underground cavity, and dark clouds appeared.

The next moment, a tornado rose from the ground and raged in the lake.

The corrupted followers swept up by the storm were all torn to pieces in the air.

Red dragon thunders continued to emerge in the dark clouds, and violent thunder and tornadoes swept through the Corruption Lake.

The entire Corrupted Lake was completely covered by the White Consciousness's indiscriminate bombardment. Every moment, countless corrupt creatures were shattered and then turned into runes.

Bai Shi drank several bottles of Blue Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottles in succession and restored his magic power which had almost run out under such a large-scale attack.

The size of the Corruption Lake is quite exaggerated. It is quite difficult to cover it with an attack. Even with the current Bai Zhi, it would take some effort.

Bai Shi was very satisfied as he felt the rune continuously flowing into his body.

These corrupt creatures rely on the power exuded by the corrupt gods to reproduce, and now Bai Shi is equivalent to drawing power from the corrupt gods in disguised form.

Now only gods can satisfy Bai Shi's need to continue upgrading.

However, soon, the owner of the Corruption Lake seemed to be disturbed by Bai Shi.

Two huge monsters rushed out of the Corrupted Lake, breaking through the thunder and storm all the way and came in front of Bai Shi.

One of the giants was a dragon soldier that Bai Shi was very familiar with.

But now this dragon soldier has been completely corroded by corruption.

Its body was covered with mycelium, and the decaying butterfly completed its incomplete wings and turned them into its wings.

As for the other huge creature, it was an alien monster with the head of a corrupt ancestor spirit and the body of a skinny beast.

It holds a thick branch covered with corrupt buds, like supreme authority.

These two powerful creatures had long since become vessels of corruption.

Bai Shi looked at the two giant beasts in front of him and smiled.

It’s a little interesting.

Bai Shi suddenly raised his right hand, and the Sword of Night and Fire was placed across his body, burning with flames and reflecting a blazing arc of light.

With irresistible majesty and murderous aura, Bai Shi walked towards the two huge containers of corruption step by step with blazing eyes.

　The prophet who predicted the knife war yesterday was dragged out and stabbed. Today, it really happened in school. Police cars and ambulances showed up during class (shivering)
