Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

The three of them first heard a roar from the Abyssal Scourge, and then a large number of fangs pierced through the sea and flew out, flying towards Xi Yao with a clear purpose. Elias saw it and raised his gun to smash the fangs one by one, and Xi Yao, who was supposed to dodge, stopped where he was.

However, what Xi Yao couldn't understand was why the Abyss Sea Scourge chose to fire its fangs in the sea. You know, the fangs had become slower due to the resistance of the sea water, otherwise it would be difficult for Elias to hit them one by one. Wouldn't this just be a waste of his own physical energy?

Wait, something is wrong... Xi Yao carefully felt the turbulence around him, but could not detect any movement of the deep sea disaster insects wandering in the sea. The sea surface was also calm, and the acidic bubbles floated in a regular pattern, as if the sea snake had never been there.

Xi Yao guessed that the Abyssal Scourge had fled... After all, from the beginning of the battle till now, the Abyssal Scourge had never attacked the three of them even once, while it itself was covered in wounds. As a creature with wisdom, escaping was the most obvious choice.

Of course, the premise is that the Abyssal Scourge really thinks so.

...Xi Yao inserted the Flame Frost Blade into the sand, then slowly walked towards the sea and looked around the Sulfur Sea from left to right. Then he took out the last handful of worm bait and scattered it on the sea.

Xi Yao looked at the calm sea and murmured, "As a top predator, it is a taboo to be in comfort and forget about worries."

Elias and Prism also realized the current situation. The Abyssal Scourge ran away because it was no match for the three of them...which made sense.

Not long after, Xi Yao turned around and said to the two people who had flown to his side: "Okay, we have almost finished testing the waters, now let's leave this wasteland."

Elias pinched his chin, then spread out his left hand and said, "So, the result of our battle is just a test? Although we also discovered a special technique of Hell's Descendant."

Xi Yao nodded: "The triggering conditions of the Hell Coming skill are quite demanding for shooters, but the effect gain is very obvious, so you can seize the opportunity to trigger it in the future."

After saying that, Xi Yao walked towards the sand where the weightless candles were placed, picked up the candle, extinguished the flame on it, and put it into the void storage space. He also took out three bottles of teleportation potions.

But just as Xi Yao was about to throw the potion to the two, he accidentally noticed the scales left on the surrounding sand. Yes, they were the scales scattered by the Abyssal Scourge during the battle. Most of them had been broken under the attack of the three people, but there were still a few intact ones.

"Scales..." Xi Yao murmured, then he threw the two bottles of potion in his hand to Prism and Elias respectively, then walked towards the scales scattered on the ground around him and picked up two relatively complete scales.

"Why are you picking up other people's scales?" Elias walked over and asked. Xi Yao did not answer him immediately, but turned his head to look at the prism.

"Prism, is the Hyperion necklace on you?"

Prism nodded, and then took out the Haibo necklace that Xiyao had given him from the storage pocket on his waist. Seeing this, Xiyao turned his head and looked at Elias and said:

"You know the Desert Scourge, right? It's a type of sandworm that still survives and thrives in the extreme desert environment. This Hyperion necklace is one of the trophies from defeating it."

"So what do you want to express..." Elias said while pinching his chin, and suddenly he found that the pendant on Haibo's necklace seemed to be somewhat similar to the shell on the surface of the desert plague insect, and he immediately realized it.

"Oh... I have an idea." Elias nodded quickly. He knew what Xi Yao was planning to do by picking up the scales of the Abyss Sea Scourge.

It should be noted that the essence trophies of creatures are particularly similar to their own structure and characteristics. So is there a possibility that we don’t need to kill the creatures completely, but only need to use their body surface tissues to create part of the essence trophies?

Although this idea sounds particularly fantastic, in fact it is just a fantastic idea... Ugh... In fact, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Without practice, people cannot directly deny it.

...Xi Yao put several intact scales into the void storage space, and finally took another look at the calm Sulfur Sea...It must be said that the sea can indeed calm people down.

Even though it is now a barren sea, it once had blue water.

……

Jiaden turned off the experimental subject control terminal and looked up at the two mechanical bionic eyeballs in the glass chamber. The biggest difference between the two eyeballs was the color of the iris, one was scarlet red and the other was emerald green, both of which were emitting a dim light.

Jiaden crossed his fingers and murmured, "The experimental results show that the body performed very well. It actually broke through the fourth layer of alloy glass."

After saying that, he pressed the holographic button on one side, and several numbers and letters immediately appeared: 16:12 p.m.

"There's still some time before nightfall, so let's just wait." After saying that, Jiaden called up a holographic control panel and took control of the scout closest to Dongfang Town.

"The test personnel should be notified to avoid unnecessary casualties." Jiaden muttered to himself calmly, being particularly rational.

……

Xi Yao pulled out the Flame Frost Blade from the Void Storage Space and chopped the spherical robot in front of him into pieces. The scout, which was split into two equal parts, flashed a lot of sparks, and then fell to the ground and could not get up again. Beside him, Prism's face was a little solemn, and Elias felt more confused and surprised.

...Just now, the three returned to Dongfang Town. At the same time, a spherical robot flew over quickly as if it had been waiting for a long time, and conveyed to the three people a preview that Xi Yao, as a test subject, would face the third test subject tonight.

When Xi Yao first heard the news, he refused without much thought, because the three of them had just experienced a battle... although they were not injured at all. However, since the experiment was to be conducted, why not give them a day to adjust their condition before conducting the experiment? After all, the test results would be more accurate.

However, the AI ​​of the scout in the state of executing commands was only set to transmit, but not to receive... In other words, Xi Yao's words of rejection could not be transmitted to the controller of this so-called experiment... Immediately afterwards, Xi Yao opened the void storage space, drew his sword and slashed the scout with it.

...After doing all this, Xi Yao put away the Flame Frost Blade again, turned around and looked at the two people behind him. After a few seconds of silence, he was about to speak, but Elias got ahead of him:

"So, that fellow Jarden is going to experiment on you again tonight?"

Xi Yao nodded: "Yes, it comes from a madman's experiment."

Prism also spoke up: "It will be conducted after 7:30 p.m. According to the three tests Xiyao mentioned before, this will be the last one."

"Maybe it's just the last time temporarily." Xi Yao corrected, then closed his eyes and shook his head gently.

"Forget it, let's adjust our states first and gather at the battle field in the south before 7:10. There, we..." Xi Yao said, and suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his raised and clenched left hand.

"Let's go and accept the madman's third experiment." Xi Yao said lightly.
