Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

Deep beneath the jungle—

Prism held a life crystal in both hands, his body trembling with excitement, his face revealing an unconcealable joy.

"This is your last life crystal, right?" Xi Yao asked while chewing a life fruit.

"Hmm..." When Prism said this, his voice trembled a little.

"Then, the next step is to find the life fruit." Xi Yao said, and swallowed his sixth life fruit, then took out his pocket watch and looked at it: 8:41 p.m.

"It's so late..." Xi Yao muttered to himself, then turned his head to look at Prism, who was absorbing the energy of the life crystal and trembling with excitement.

"So excited?" Xi Yao asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How can I not be excited to be the one who has used fifteen life crystals..."

Hearing this, Xi Yao shrugged, and then looked deeper into the cave... He could vaguely see that there was no way out of the cave below... Then he turned his head and looked at the prism:

"It's late now, and there's no way down there. Let's go back and I'll tell you about tomorrow's plan later."

Prism nodded, and then Xi Yao took out two bottles of teleportation potion...

……

After leaving the jungle, Xiyao and Prism walked towards Dongfang Town... Xiyao took out the Book of Terra, read it while walking, and said:

"Next, our goal is to synthesize something called the Holy Cross Medal... It can be combined with the Obsidian Shield to form a Holy Cross Shield, and it is immune to the negative effects caused by most enemy monsters..." Xi Yao read out the words in the book.

"The Holy Cross Medal... I remember the synthesis steps of that thing were very complicated..." Prism said.

"It is complicated, but it is absolutely necessary to synthesize this thing." Xi Yao said, and turned a few pages.

...After a while, Xi Yao suddenly muttered to himself: "...So...we are so backward in development at this stage..."

"what?"

"...I discovered that not only the shield, but many of our things are still from the Terran era. Now they can be upgraded..."

"So, your next goal is to develop yourself?" Prism asked.

Xi Yao nodded, then suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the prism: "Are you going to collect with me, or stay here to research?"

Hearing this, Prism was stunned for a moment, then he realized: "...You don't...really think that I can forge a brand new set of thief armor that has never been recorded?"

"It's not impossible." Xi Yao said with ease.

"...I don't want to. It's such a waste of time. You don't really think that the knowledge I have learned can compare with those professionals?" Prism said.

"...Okay then... whatever you want." As Xi Yao said this, he had already seen the lights of Dongfang Town.

"Well, let's divide the tasks. After all, it's not efficient to stay together... I'll give you a notebook later. It will contain the materials for synthesizing the Holy Cross Medal. Go collect two copies."

Seeing Prism nod, Xi Yao continued: "As for me, I will go to the jungle to find the life fruit... and try to replenish the vitality of both of us."

Xi seemed to speak in a relaxed tone, not noticing that Prism was looking at him in shock.

"Life Fruit is different from Life Crystal. It can only grow in the jungle... In other words, Life Fruit is rarer than Life Crystal..."

"As long as you are willing to look for it, you will always find it. Besides, this book contains the shortcut to finding the crystal of life that my guide mentioned." Xi Yao said with a smile, and then showed the Book of Terra.

"Also, when you finish collecting the materials, the Life Fruit I'm looking for should be almost there... Then we'll kill a few treasure chest monsters and get a blue thing called Titan Gloves, then we'll go to the Sunken Sea..."

"The Sunken Sea...where is that?"

There is a reason why Prism doesn't know about the Sunken Sea. After all, the desert is a place full of dangers for ordinary people... Not to mention the little-known Sunken Sea, which is located underground in the desert?

And those who have reached the Sunken Sea have never told anyone about the magnificent ocean beneath the desert.

After all, perhaps for the current Terra continent, the Sunken Sea is the last place where people can feel at ease... Therefore, no one who has been to the Sunken Sea would want it to become known to everyone.

"Uh... The Sunken Sea is... Never mind... I can't explain it right now... Let's talk about it later..."

Xi Yao turned his head and looked at the prism and said… However, he accidentally bumped into the wall of a house.

"Woo..." Xi Yao covered his nose, and then he found that they had returned to Dongfang Town... So, after saying goodbye to Prism, Xi Yao planned to go back to his home.

...But when passing by the square, Xi Yao discovered that at the end of the day, the residents of Dongfang Town had returned one after another...there were even a lot more people!

After all, Dongfang Town has gained sovereignty and is a legal region, so naturally more people are coming...

Seeing this, Xi Yao held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Then, let's build a house..."

……

Afterwards, Xiyao once again built a large number of houses based on the requests of the new residents... It was not until six o'clock the next morning that the construction was completed...

After the house was built, Xi Yao held his forehead and muttered to himself: "Or... let's hire a construction team..."

Afterwards, Xi Yao returned to his home and used a special resting method. After sleeping for about an hour, he was fully restored to health.

After a good rest, Xi Yao took out a notebook and wrote down the names of the materials, appearances, and most importantly, how to obtain the Holy Cross Medal.

...After that, they started to act according to the plan. Prism went to collect the materials in the notebook, and Xi Yao set out on the journey to "visit" the jungle again.
