Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 390: The Immortal Slash that went astray, recent achievement rewards

When the white light that occupied his vision faded, Li You found himself back in a spiritual space similar to the one where he had seen the illusion of the Sakura Dragon, with the blood shadow of the Sakura Dragon floating in front of him.

Li You: Oh, so it turns out that God of Zero has finally started.

He stared at the blood shadow in front of him with some vigilance, wondering why this resentment appeared again.

Because he used two Undead Swords? But this isn't a bad thing for Yinglong, right?

He was just thinking when he saw the light flashing again in front of him. The knife that could not be seen clearly after the fusion appeared again, and its outline was still blurred.

And then, something happened that surprised Li You.

The blood shadow formed by the Sakura Dragon's resentment actually circled around the knife for several times, and then... crashed into it!
Li You: ???
suicide??
Of course not. In fact, the blood shadow of the cherry dragon smoothly passed through the blade and emerged from behind.

But there were changes. The blood shadow became a little smaller and the color became a little lighter, while the shining Immortal Slash was stained with a faint blood color, like red ink spreading in water.

"This is…?"

Li Youzheng was a little puzzled, but the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal emerged and the blood shadow flashed back, then sank into silence again in the Divine Crystal.

The colored Immortal Sword rose and fell, making a low humming sound, as if calling Li You.

Li You hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife.

The moment he touched the Immortal Slash, the whole sword shone brightly again!

Li You couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, he had left the spiritual world and returned to reality.

In his hand, he was holding a brand new Immortal Sword, and the light on the blade was gradually fading.

Everyone around, including Rhodes himself, perked up and looked at the knife in Li You's hand.

It was a large sword, more than 1.5 meters long, with a double-edged blade with an open door, but with the dark red blade of Bailei integrated in. The hilt was in the shape of an open lotus, but smaller in proportion, and the opening was turned towards the handle, which was wrapped with dark straps.

The whole knife now looks like a magic blade, smooth, sharp and deadly.

Rhodos was a little stunned: "This... is somewhat different from the characteristics of the soul itself... What's going on?"

Li You frowned slightly, already understanding something.

During the fusion process, the two Undying Swords also absorbed his energy and the power of the Sakura Dragon, which should have been majestic. Li You had actually been able to vaguely sense that the new Undying Sword after shaping should be closer to the sword that belonged to his brother Yi Xin.

But because of the intervention of that resentment, it has now become a somewhat gaudy appearance in Li You's opinion.

"Tsk..."

Li You opened the system panel with some dissatisfaction.

Anyway, let’s take a look at the effect first.

[Undead Slash: Blood Shadow]

[Item Description: A fusion of the two Undead Swords, Kaimen and Bailei, which can cut off the immortal. It is attached with the remaining resentment of the Dragon God, and is full of murderous intent.]

[Weapon Feature 1: Glaze. The Undead Slash is made of the source of glaze, the blade is immortal, sharp and incomparable, and will never be damaged.]

[Weapon Feature 2: Bailei. This knife can kill all immortals who rely on physical strength and extraordinary abilities. The wounds caused by this knife cannot be healed.]

[Weapon Feature 3: Open the door. Open the door to the underworld and use the blood of the dragon as a sacrifice to call back the souls of the dead who have a connection with the knife holder and revive them in their prime.]

[Weapon Feature 4: Immortal Slash. Injecting various forms of energy into the blade, Immortal Slash will convert it into blood flames, which burn the body and soul and are extremely difficult to extinguish. The blood flame can also be transformed into a blade to release the Immortal Slash.]

[Weapon Feature 5: Shadow of the Dragon God. This knife bears traces of the god's resentment. By infusing it with the same divine power, it can summon the blood shadow of a dragon to frighten the enemy and devour their will, but this will strengthen the power of the dragon's resentment.]

Li You was stunned.

Woc? Can summon the bloody shadow of a cherry dragon? Isn't that awesome?

Woc? It becomes stronger after summoning? This is the end of it?

His mood was full of ups and downs. The new Undead Slash had five characteristics enchanted, which was indeed powerful, but the first four characteristics of the fused Undead Slash were all there before, at most they were slightly strengthened, not to mention that he couldn't use the mysterious door opening at all.

To sacrifice the blood of Dragon's Blood, wouldn't you have to first find someone to stuff the Dragon's Blood Crystal in your backpack into his body?
But not everyone can bear the Dragon's Blood, otherwise Yinglong wouldn't have only had two Dragon's Blood sons for so many years.

At the same time, the fifth characteristic, which was supposed to be the finale ability, was messed up by the resentment of the Sakura Dragon and turned into the ability to summon it.

What is this, a devil's deal?

He had finally managed to suppress the resentment of this restless Sakura Dragon, so how could he dare to summon it casually now?
Li You couldn't help but complain, you are just a resentment, your original body died long ago, how can you still cause so much trouble?

I'll always find a way to pin you down!
I don’t know if this Immortal Slash can be restored after pressing it... Li You thought with a grin.

But no matter what, this new Undead Slash has been strengthened after all. Although he doesn't dare to use its biggest special skill for the time being, maybe it can be used as a trump card?
If it is really used, it will probably hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by ninety-nine, without any ambiguity.

Shaking his head, Li You swung the knife, and a few drops of blood suddenly spilled from the knife and fell to the ground, making a "sizzling" sound.

Li You: "......"

Rhodos: “…”

Everyone: "..."

Why does this knife feel so dangerous?
Rhodos came back to his senses, coughed, and said, "Well... I almost forgot that the remaining part of the soul can also generate a scabbard. Wait for me."

He continued to operate the smelting furnace, put in the remaining ownerless souls, and finally refined a dark scabbard, which he handed to Li You.

This scabbard is not like the scabbard of a samurai sword. It has no straps and is made of neither metal nor wood. It feels very cold to the touch and has an opening on the side. Li You put the Immortal Slash into it, and the murderous intent really subsided.

Li You, Rhodes, and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you very much."

Rhodos also nodded and warned: "This knife... I don't know what happened, but it is quite dangerous. I can feel that it has the ability to kill the undead. You must... be very careful when using it."

"Don't draw this knife unless you have the intention to kill."

Li You nodded. He naturally understood this principle.

Rhodes said no more, and finally said: "In addition, I see that the soul of this sword seems to be a little incomplete. If we can find a weapon that matches it, maybe it can be integrated again... Then, maybe this sword will not be so ominous."

Li You was stunned: "Oh?"

Can it be integrated again?
【Ding! 】

[Item description has been updated. ]

Li You looked carefully and saw an extra line of small words in the introduction column of Immortal Slash Blood Shadow.

【Note: Can be fused. 】

Li You: "......"

Your uncle.

If Rhodes doesn't tell you, you won't tell him, right? What a pitfall!

He couldn't help but curse the damn system in his heart for the first time in a long time.

This system hasn't caused him much trouble recently, and he almost let his guard down!
After greeting the system in his heart and thanking Rhodos, Li You jumped down from his throne, came to Andre, and handed him the Undead Blood Shadow.

"Well, old man, I'm in trouble."

Andre's expression was no longer kind and cheerful, but a rare solemn expression. He nodded slowly and took the Immortal Slash: "This sword is also integrated with the source of glass, right? It happens that I have almost studied this material, I think I can strengthen it."

Li You nodded. He had great faith in Andre's blacksmithing skills. He had been swinging hammers from the Age of Gods to the end of the Age of Fire. Even a dog could become a famous craftsman, not to mention that Andre was already a master with superb skills in the Age of Gods.

Andre took the Immortal Blood Shadow and went to make a fire and swing the hammer. As for Li You, he thought about it and felt that he didn't have anything else important to do, so he could take a break.

In the past few days since I came to the Dark Souls world, the intensity and intensity of the battles have been quite high. Although I have had a few simple breaks in between, I am still a little tired.

So Li You counted down on the spot and teleported back to the camp with his companions.

After he left, Rhodos on the throne looked at the place where he had just been, thinking deeply.

"Can he cut off the immortal blade...? If this gets out, he'll be in trouble."

"Huh - I wonder how far this living hero can go?"

Thinking of this, Rhodes slowly closed his eyes.

Refining is also very energy-consuming, he needs to take a break.

……

Companion space.

Li You sat down on the old wooden chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Once Mr. Andre has finished strengthening, we will go to the Fran Forest to find Mr. Obeck."

It was time to learn magic, his former trump card.

Otherwise, when he finds Kara, he might find that Kara has become a great magician, while he, the master, can only shoot the soul gun. That would be very embarrassing.

"To get from the Undead Settlement to the Faran Forest, you have to pass the Sacrifice Road. Before that, you have to go to the tower and talk to the archer giant."

The tower where the archer giant launched the intercontinental missile is the hub of the road leading to the living sacrifice from the undead settlement. Only by going down along the road can you reach the Faran Forest.

The Fran Forest is also an important transportation hub, with two forked roads leading to the Deep Church and the Fran Fortress respectively.

However, because the Dark Ring must be used before defeating any Fire King, Li You does not plan to challenge the Fran Street Dance Team for the time being. Although this group of people are the early BOSS, they are also Fire Kings after all. If he defeats them, Li You can only take the route of extinguishing the fire.

Then someone will definitely ask, how can you go to the later maps if you don’t fight the street dance team?
Hey, isn't this easy? Can't we just wait for the hovercraft to be repaired and fly over there?
Fly directly from Faran Forest to Lengli Valley!
As for the Kasas Underground Cemetery guarded by the Street Dance Team, and the Demon Ruins Smoky Lake, Li You was not in a hurry to go there. It was not impossible to go back from the Lengli Valley later. He would see what happened then.

"Let's skip the hip-hop team and go to Frigid Valley. But I don't know if the barrier of Irithyll Bridge covers the whole city or just the bridge... We can still go to the Deep Cathedral and see Rosaria."

Li You closed his eyes and rested while thinking about his future course of action.

In fact, he already has an overall plan, but some details have not yet been finalized.

The main quest of Soul 3 is to complete the mission of Ashes. It doesn't say that he must pass on the fire, but he is given the Ring of Darkness, which obviously still induces him to choose to pass on the fire.

There are three endings in the game, plus the hidden ending, which makes four endings in total. They can be simplified into spreading fire, extinguishing fire, usurping fire and seizing fire.

Not to mention passing on the fire, it's just about continuing the sacrifices from generation to generation to maintain the damaged light.

Then there is Londor. They want to create a world for wandering souls and usurp the Original Fire. Li You has no interest in this, but is very interested in destroying their plans.

If the fire is put out, the outcome is uncertain. No one knows what the deep sea era will look like after the initial fire disappears, but judging from some vague hints, it is likely not a good era.

As for seizing the fire, it is an extension of the ending of extinguishing the fire, that is, when the fire keeper is extinguishing the initial fire, kill the fire keeper and snatch the flame away.

"Ashes crave embers," this sentence, which can be heard in the opening CG and the hidden ending, is probably the best annotation for this ending.

So on the whole, although it is still lingering, at least there is still light in the Age of Fire... Li You never likes taking uncertain risks, so if you ask him, he is still inclined to pass on the fire.

What's more, there are additional rewards.

Therefore, Li You’s current actions are arranged based on the final outcome of spreading fire.

What he had to do was simple. Before challenging the four Cinder Kings, he had to defeat all other bosses that could be defeated, and at the same time, maximize the strength of himself and his companions. When the enemy was only the four Cinder Kings left, he planned to pinch the Dark Ring, let it attach to his body, and then defeat the four Cinder Kings as quickly as possible, seize the firewood, and finally challenge the Cinder King incarnation to complete the main quest of Soul III.

Perfect plan.

It’s a matter of execution.

Li You was also thinking that based on the comprehensive judgment of the strength of the enemies in this world, the strength of the four Fire Kings might be more exaggerated than he had originally expected.

But if he got the Ring of Darkness, he wouldn't have much time to try and make mistakes, and he would have to devour the soul of the Lord of Cinder in one go.

So before that, we need to maximize all aspects that can be strengthened.

"…In that case, we really have to go to Ancient Dragon Peak? Painting World? Ring Seal City?"

Li You was thinking.

Ancient Dragon Peak is a hidden map in the main game, while Painting World and Ring City are two DLCs of Soul 3. Among these three places, except for Painting World, the difficulty of the other two places is quite exaggerated, and Li You originally planned not to go there.

In addition, whether you can go to the painting world or even the ring city also depends on whether another wanderer in the world, the slave knight Gale, will appear. At present, the only place that can be reached by a definite method is the Ancient Dragon Peak.

"I still have to go there after all."

Apart from anything else, Li You was indeed interested in the power of the ancient dragon, and he wanted to use it to feed Yuzi.

The two flying dragons in the dragon training ground turned out to be fake dragons. Yuzu tried them and bit into them, and as he said, it was like biting into mud.

Regardless of whether these two flying dragons were fake in themselves or became like this because they were infected by human pus, they have no value to Yuzu.

So if you want to find a real dragon, or at least a descendant of an ancient dragon, you still have to go to the Ancient Dragon Peak.

To be honest, Li You has been wanting Yuzu to unlock the dragon form for a long time.

Transform into a giant dragon! Transform into a dragon knight! Who can resist such temptation? Even Yuzu herself wanted a flying form.

So you still have to go to Gulongding.

Li You opened his eyes.

"It's settled. When we've defeated most of the bosses except the Cinder King, we'll go to Ancient Dragon Peak."

With the goal set, Li You also relaxed.

"That's great, let's take a look at the new achievement rewards."

He opened the system panel.

[Congratulations on completing the achievement: Illusionary Dance. ]

[Achievement content: Defeat the dancer in the Frigid Valley. ]

[Achievement Rewards: Achievement Points × 1800, Dancer Suit × 1. ]

……

【Congratulations on completing the achievement: Twisted Dragon. 】

[Achievement content: Defeat the demon king Osroais. ]

[Achievement Rewards: Achievement Points × 1500, "White Dragon Breath" Scroll × 1. ]

……

【Congratulations on completing the achievement: Belated Hero. 】

[Achievement content: Defeat the hero Guda. ]

[Achievement Rewards: Achievement Points × 1800, Prisoner Chain × 1. ]

……

[Congratulations on completing the achievement: Cursed Tree. ]

[Achievement content: Defeat the cursed tree. ]

[Achievement Reward: Achievement Points × 800, Birch Seeds. ]

One prop for each BOSS, no problem. Li You looked at the specific effects again.

[Dancer Set: The dancers of Frigid Valley wear close-fitting armor. The crown and veil with aurora color can give the wearer extremely high attribute resistance. The armor itself has excellent defense and will not affect movement. ]

Li You: "Oh?"

The effect looks good, with high attribute resistance, which should be very useful when facing specific enemies.

And this suit is not like the Platinum Queen suit in Dead Cells, which is to say, he can also...

Ahem, forget it.

Let’s go back and see who is interested between V and Edge.

[“White Dragon Breath” Scroll: A scroll that records the magic “White Dragon Breath”, which can emit a crystalline breath that extends along the ground and has high penetration. You can tear up the scroll to release it directly, or memorize the magic and activate it with magic power.]

"A scroll..."

Li You was not too surprised by this familiar method of use. A closer look revealed that the magic learned in the Souls series was actually scrolls, which players could only use after memorizing them with a spell teacher or at a campfire.

The memory magic is actually basically the same as the setting of a well-known board game system.

So Li You didn't waste any more words and put the scroll away.

It was impossible to tear it, and he still didn't understand how to get the "memory space". However, the White Dragon Breath magic itself had limited strength, so it could just be put in the backpack and collect dust.

As for the rest…

[Captive Chains: The broken chains that once bound the hero Guda can increase strength and agility attributes (+5) and improve recovery, but the damage received will also increase. ]

Li You: "Good guy."

It feels like it loses one attribute compared to the original Guda Lock in the game, but it has an additional recovery ability, which is equally tempting.

His current strength and agility are only around 30, and wearing this will definitely be a significant increase.

So Li You hesitated for a moment and hung the Guda lock around his waist.

After attribute upgrades, virus reinforcements, armor updates, and the addition of a bunch of miscellaneous small props, he has become increasingly tougher. At least it is difficult to kill him with small-caliber firearms, so Li You's fighting style has also become a bit rough.

But after putting on the Guda lock, he had to return to his cautious style.

It's not a bad thing.

Finally, the birch seed given by the cursed tree. Its effect is very simple. You can throw it on the ground, and the seed will quickly grow into a birch tree. Everyone within a certain range of the birch tree will be hit indiscriminately by the archer giant. Of course, the premise is that the birch tree must grow in a place that the giant can reach.

After a certain period of time, the birch tree will dry up on its own and turn back into seeds.

The seeds can be used three times in total, but if you are lucky, the birch tree may drop new seeds when it dries up.

Li You touched the seed and understood in his heart that this item was a mercy from the system, a life-saving straw in case he did not develop well before coming to Soul Three and could not defeat the BOSS.

Including the problem of the archer giant's indiscriminate attacks, it can also be solved by using special tender white branches, and then the giant will only attack his enemies.

But it is obvious that Li You doesn't need this much now.

“…Okay, put it away.”

Li You stretched and planned to take a nap to get some energy. Otherwise, when we meet Mr. Obek later, he might think that we are Nine-Wise Warriors and it would be funny if he refused to teach us magic.

But then again, Mr. Obek himself is not very smart. Even if he is really a Nine-Wise Warrior, as long as he wears a sage ring, he can trick Obek back to the Fire Shrine. This...

Oubeck: I was wrong. I'm so angry.

In addition, there was the spell teacher Komicus who was abducted back before, and Yuel from Londor. They also came to the Fire Festival, but Li You had not talked to them yet, and they would go together when the time came.

Li You stood up and was about to move to another place, but a voice called out from behind: "…Um, Mr. Hero."

He paused, then turned around. The one who called him was naturally the thief brother, Greyrat.

"…Hero, I would like to ask you something."

He was still obviously a little timid, and said, "Excuse me, have you ever been to the Undead Settlement? I asked you for something before, but I don't know..."

"No, no, of course I'm not rushing you, and my business isn't important, but... I still want to know what the situation is."

Li You looked at him and shook his head helplessly, but still answered:
"I've been there, and I found the person you wanted to meet, but... it's bad news, my friend."

Greyrat's face was covered by a turban, so his expression couldn't be seen, but his emotions were reflected in his body language.

When he heard the first half of Li You's sentence, he straightened up with some excitement, and his eyes lit up for a rare time. But when Li You finished the second half of the sentence, he was shocked again and almost fell to the ground.

"She...I...she..." The thief was obviously incoherent for a while before he gathered himself, "How is she?"

Li You didn't say much, but took out the bones belonging to Loretta that he found in the Undead Settlement and handed them to him.

Greyrat was struck by lightning and froze completely.

After a long while, he stroked the old and mottled scars on the broken bone and murmured, "... So, she is dead..."

His consciousness was obviously a little scattered, so Li You helped him sit down on a chair beside him to calm him down. He pressed his hand on his face and did not speak for a long time.

"…Thanks, I had anticipated this. This makes it much easier for me. Thank you for your help, hero."

Li You shook his head slightly and said nothing.

In fact, Greyratet is not short. It is better to say that he has a broad frame and long hands and feet. If he stands up, he should not be much shorter than Li You.

But he had been stealing for many years and had low self-esteem, so he had long been accustomed to living in a crouched position. Even when he was walking or talking to Li You, he was hunched over.

Li You did not try to persuade him to think more positively. Such words were meaningless. He just patted Greyrett on the shoulder, told him to relax himself, and then took his companions and left the camp.

……

Shortly after.

After getting the +4 Immortal Slash from old man Andre, Li You was teleported back to the Immortal Settlement.

Because he had fought his way in from the main gate and chopped down trees before, Li You did not light the campfire at the Undead Settlement, so he ran again this time.

However, he still did not go to the cemetery where the giants could perform long-range attacks. There were not many valuable things there. He would search for them after meeting the archer giant.

After cutting off the mentor, villagers and dog patrols along the way, and then dealing with the three big men in red carrying large vats, Li You stood under the high tower of the archer giant.

After taking a look at the closed gate, Li You turned around and saw a knight wearing dark animal-head armor and carrying an exaggeratedly large square hammer sitting on the edge of a low cliff beside the road.

The knight had also been looking at Li You and the others. When he saw him looking at him, he couldn't help but speak in a hoarse voice: "...What are you looking at, you guy?"

Li You just smiled.

Isn’t this what I’m looking for, Brother Yiguo?
