Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 401: A magnificent view ahead! Irithyll of the Frost Valley!
Going down along the hall mechanism of the Fran Undead Corps is the blocked Casas catacombs.

Kasas was originally a country of sand and gravel, where swordsmen were famous for their fighting style that was as swift as the wind and as aggressive as fire.

Of course, looking at it from another angle, they also like to fight while doing street dance.

But the strength of these swordsmen should not be underestimated. Under the leadership of King Vonir, Kasas once destroyed many countries and became the overlord. Therefore, Vonir was called the Overlord.

But unfortunately, even after becoming the overlord of all nations, Vornir was still not satisfied. He tried to become the last dead corresponding to the "first dead" - the ancient god Nit, and even tried to touch the power of the abyss.

As for the result, it goes without saying that anyone who dares to touch the abyss will definitely not have a good ending if he doesn't have something.

Vonir eventually fell into the abyss, and all the warriors of the entire Kingdom of Kasas turned into corpses, becoming a country of death, and the Kasas swordsmen turned into street dancing skeletons.

Such a large-scale abyss erosion incident naturally attracted the attention of the Fran Undead Squad, who inherited the blood of the Wolf Knight. In the conflict between the two sides, the Undead Squad finally won and suppressed the Overlord Vornir and his Skeleton Legion.

In the battle between street dancers, the Fran Street Dance Team was finally victorious.

This is probably how the Undead Corps suppressed the Abyss. To this day, the Undead Corps' fortress still guards above the Catass catacombs.

“…until Li You dug a big hole at the entrance of the fortress.” V said slowly.

"Now that I think about it, Li You is really guilty of a heinous crime." Edge nodded in approval.

Li You, who was leading the way and explaining history to his companions, said: "???"

He wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no problem at all.

So he could only say: "...In that case, let's just send Vornir back to the abyss as soon as possible."

"No, how about just killing him?"

At this time, a figure loomed in the old passage ahead. It was a tall skeleton warrior wearing tattered scale armor and a short cloak.

It held a strange hook sword with a sickle-like blade in each hand and patrolled back and forth in the passage.

Li You already knew that the "enemy distribution" in this world was quite different from that in the game. Except for those special individuals, such as the slave giants and cursed spiders in the Deep Church, most other enemies would not stand still in their original positions, but preferred to patrol everywhere.

So Li You didn't think much about why a street dance skeleton that shouldn't be there appeared in the passage ahead.

He just spoke through the mental link to remind: "Prepare for battle!"

Yuzu, Edge, and V all responded, “Understood!”

Just at this moment, the street dance skeleton in front had also discovered Li You and his group, so he immediately flashed quickly, his figure appeared and disappeared, rushed up quickly, and threw out several short throwing knives!

However, V on the side noticed the direction of the attack, raised his knife to block, and deflected all the flying knives. On the other side of Li You, Yuzu had already casually transformed into a sledgehammer and rushed forward!

"Roar--!!"

The street dance skeleton naturally wanted to dodge. In the underground cemetery of Casas, there were a total of four types of Casas swordsman skeletons, namely, those holding scimitars and wooden shields, those holding large scimitars, those holding a single hook sword, and the one in front of him holding two hook swords.

Relatively speaking, the Kasas Skeleton Swordsman wielding dual hook swords has the most graceful movements and is also the most difficult to deal with.

But it moved quickly, and Yuzu's reaction was not slow at all. Seeing that the skeleton in front of him wanted to run away, Yuzu roared, waved his hand and smashed the sledgehammer in his hand heavily to the ground!

The biomass structure that makes up the sledgehammer's head instantly shattered under Yuzu's control, and turned into missiles, scattering towards the hip-hop skeleton!
The Kasas swordsman really didn't expect this move, and was almost hit head-on, and his originally erratic figure was completely exposed. Yuzu stepped forward again, and the biomass quickly gathered on the original spear in his hand, and turned into a new sledgehammer, smashing heavily on the hip-hop skeleton!

"Boom-!!"

This blow was heavy enough, and as everyone knows, blunt blows have a miraculous effect on skeletons, even the Kasas swordsmen are no exception. After being hit by this blow, the hip-hop skeleton was directly knocked away, and the bones all over its body were scattered.

But it was not dead, and the scattered bones were still being dragged by an invisible force, trying to gather again. But Yuzu had already taken another step, and the sledgehammer was raised high and smashed down for the last time!
"boom--!!"

Now the street dance skeleton could no longer dance and became completely dead.

"Okay, let's keep going." Li You called out.

But when he turned around, he saw V squatting on the ground, studying the broken bones of the street dance skeleton with great curiosity.

"Tell me, what force brings them together and allows these skeletons to move like humans?" V asked before Li You could speak.

"…Your question stumps me." Li You said helplessly, "Skeleton soldiers are a standard feature of fantasy worlds, right? Usually, they are moved by magic or something like that?"

V thought: "I don't know if I can learn it."

Li Youqi asked, "You want to learn this?"

V asked back: "Necromancer, how cool! Aren't you interested? Are you a man?"

Li You: "6."

Men like darkness, right?

"... Let's go. Go out through this iron door and you will reach Vonir's room."

There is an iron gate in front of the passage, behind which is a rugged cave with a large number of bones scattered on the ground and an old wooden suspension bridge.

Not far behind the gate, you can see a joystick, which is obviously used to control the iron gate.

As usual, this kind of mechanism can be easily solved by using Yuzu's tentacles. The gap in the iron gate is large enough, and there is enough space to extend the tentacles to open the mechanism.

With a loud rumbling sound, the iron gate slowly rose and the road was clear.

But at the same time, when everyone took a few steps forward, the white bones on the ground began to twist and started to piece together into skeleton soldiers, and then rushed towards Li You and his group, trying to surround them!
But at this moment, a bright red circle suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Li You and others, and the flashing danger prompt warned everyone.

Unfortunately, the skeleton soldiers were brainless in the physical sense, so they naturally didn't understand what that meant, and they continued to rush forward. Beside Li You, V saw the right moment and pressed his hand with a mechanical glove down!
A powerful gravitational force suddenly appeared, like a heavy burden, pressing down all the revived skeleton soldiers to the ground! They lay on the ground and struggled, but they were unable to break free from the shackles of gravity, and even their bodies seemed to be falling apart.

V looked at them and asked, "Their bones were all piled together just now. How did they tell which bone was theirs when they put them together? Aren't they afraid of taking the wrong one?"

Li You's mouth twitched: "...I think, even if I take the wrong one, it won't have any impact, right?"

V thought it made sense: "That's true."

As she spoke, she flipped her hand, and the direction of gravity suddenly changed, from sucking the skeleton soldiers to the ground to pushing them outwards!
"boom--!"

With a burst of flying sand and rocks, all the skeletons were pushed off the cliff by the exploding gravitational waves!
Edge looked at the gravitational mechanical gloves flashing red on V's hands and felt a little envious: "This thing is really useful, but it's a pity that it requires a brain-computer chip to control it precisely."

V said: "The energy consumption is not small, but fortunately there is sufficient backup energy."

She shook her hands and turned off the gravity gloves.

The enemies had been cleared, and the group crossed the bridge and pushed open the stone door at the end of the passage ahead, and came to a hall shaped like a tomb. However, there was no coffin in the center of the hall, only a stone table, on which was placed a holy grail made of a human skull.

This is the skull grail that seals the Overlord Vorniel. If touched, the Overlord's abyss will be released and drag those in the room into its domain.

Li You stopped here for a moment and thought about where the onion had gone.

Didn’t he come down first? Why didn’t I see anyone along the way?

Could it be that he was sent back to the campfire by the street dance skeleton?
It shouldn't be...

But he certainly didn't see any trace of onions, and there was no sign that anyone else had been along the way.

After thinking about it, Li You decided to go back and talk about it. Anyway, Brother Onion shouldn't have a car accident here, so the most likely possibility is that he got lost somewhere again...

So he didn't hesitate to walk forward and poked Vonir's Holy Grail.

"Wolnier? Wake up!"

Deep darkness then seeped out from the Skull Holy Grail, and the darkness continued to gush out, covering the entire hall!

Even Li You lost his vision for a moment. After the darkness finally dissipated a little and they could barely see, they realized that they had arrived in another space.

This place seemed to be a gentle downward slope, as if it was in a closed cave. There was no light around, and only a conspicuous soul light ball in front.

Of course, the undead's tendency to move toward light is often used to set traps, and the old undead know this. For example, the lonely soul light ball in front of us is so conspicuous that it is obvious that there is something fishy going on.

Even V, after several lessons, has realized this.

"This is clearly an ambush!" she said with great conviction, "but no ambush can stop me from picking up trash!"

Needless to say, the term "picking up trash" was also learned by her from Li You.

Li You: "…You can see there's an ambush, can't you control your instinct to move toward light?"

But no matter what, the BOSS still needs to be defeated.

"Look up."

Everyone looked up when they heard that, and including Yuzu, they were all stunned.

They all have the ability to see in the dark, so even though the space here is dim, they can still see the huge object above their heads clearly.

It was a huge skull wearing a crown!
Connected to it was naturally a skeletal body, with the huge upper body lying on the ground, and the soul light ball that everyone saw was surrounded in front of him.

And just the way it lies on the ground, its head height is almost as high as Yuzu's giant form.

V couldn't help swallowing and almost cried out in surprise: "This is... Overlord Wolnir? How do we fight this thing?"

Yuzu was surprised: "It... is so big!"

However, Li You said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult to deal with. The specific situation of this space is unknown, but according to my understanding, it may be a fragment space like the border of the abyss. Overlord Wolnir is hiding here, using the holy objects he stole from the priests in the past to keep himself from being dragged into the abyss."

He took out a flare, lit it, and threw it at his feet, saying, "Look, aren't there three big gold bracelets on his hands? We just need to hit these things. Break them all, and Vornir will fall into the abyss."

Yuzu and the other two now understood that they could just attack the weak points.

"That's easy."

Li You nodded: "As long as we don't get close to the soul light ball and don't attack Wolnir, it won't wake up, so we can make arrangements in advance."

"Aggie, V, here, hold this..."

After a while of whispering to each other, everyone took some miscellaneous things from Li You and placed them under Wonnier according to his instructions.

When all the props were arranged, Li You nodded, asked everyone else to step back, then he walked to the soul light ball and reached out to pick it up.

At this moment, the three golden bracelets on Wolnir's arms suddenly lit up, and it woke up from hibernation, supporting its huge body with its arms!

The height of Warnir's back or head is nearly 15 meters. Although only half of its body can be seen, its total length is more than 40 meters. Among all the humanoid bosses in the Soul series, its size ranks among the top.

The Warnir that Li You encountered might have just been woken up and was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to get entangled with Li You. So as soon as he woke up, he immediately stretched out his right hand, and a light burst out in his hand, and a huge sword began to take shape in his hand!
People with a dark face would never see Wolnir drawing his sword at the beginning of the game.

But Li You was well prepared and shouted, "Now!"

In the back, Edge and V pressed the detonator at the same time! "BOOM--!!!"

Under Warnier's left hand, a large amount of explosives that had been buried in advance exploded at this moment!

The fire and loud noise shocked everyone's senses. In order to ensure that the problem could be solved in one go, Li You took out 90% of the explosives that he had stockpiled in his backpack!

The effect was surprisingly good. In the violent explosion, the two large gold bracelets on Warnier's left wrist, which was supporting the ground, made a "bang" sound and exploded into pieces of golden light at the same time!

Vonnie screamed immediately, and the holy sword that he had not yet summoned died in his belly, and his entire huge body was dragged and slid backwards!

And just as he slid down to a certain position, Li You also pressed the detonation button!

"Boom——!!"

There was another familiar loud noise, and another minefield that had been buried in advance exploded again, and was precisely stuck at the moment when Wonir's right bracelet passed by!

"state--"

Along with another echo, the only remaining gold bracelet on Warnier's right hand was blown into flying golden light!

Overlord Warney suddenly roared. No one knew how a skeleton like him could make such a sound, but Li You could hear deep despair in its roar.

It was as if several invisible hands stretched out from the deep darkness below, grabbed Wolnir's huge body, and dragged it down with irresistible force! In just one second, Wolnir's figure disappeared into the darkness.

Such a weird scene made Edge and V feel a chill down their spines.

But then, they saw the skull holy grail appear out of thin air, and this time it did the opposite, sucking in the surrounding darkness.

Soon, the surrounding scene changed again. When the darkness completely dissipated, everyone returned to the previous tomb. Everything was peaceful as if nothing had happened.

But the burning and twisted soul in Li You's palm proved that everything that had just happened was real.

Li You put Overlord Wolnir's soul into the pendant and turned to look at everyone: "How is it? I said it was simple, right?"

Edge and Yuzu both nodded, but V's focus was still on Vornir himself. "That Overlord, how did he get so big? You should know this, right?"

"I only know that he shouldn't have been this big originally. It was the power of the abyss that made him become like this. As for the details, I really don't know." Li You replied.

He didn't lie to V. There was indeed no consensus on the size of Warnier.

Of course, Li You hadn’t paid attention to the news about Soul III for a long time before he traveled through time, so if there were new soul theories later, he really didn’t know about them.

To put it another way, he was not that keen on soul studies.

Li You is certainly not indifferent to the background stories of the Soul series, and he would discuss and speculate on the plot with his friends. But doing soul research is another matter.

The soul study community is very "cruel" and many things are hard to come to a conclusion. For example, the true identity of Rosaria and whether the giant king Yum is a giant have been debated for many years, and when it comes to some deeper background, no one can convince anyone.

In fact, because of the old thief's storytelling style of being evasive and unwilling to speak clearly, the study of the soul itself requires a well-founded and logically self-consistent theory. As long as various inferences do not make obvious mistakes, they are all possible.

However, the soul study circle is not large, there are many troubles, and the fighting between various soul study factions is quite fierce.

So Li You hasn't watched any soul learning videos for a long time.

Li You: Don’t touch soul studies, or you will become unfortunate.

Although he has arrived in the world of souls, there are not many people he can communicate with in this end times, so Li You doesn't care about the truth behind the scenes.

It is more practical to advance the process as quickly as possible.

So Li You coughed and said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs..."

Before he could finish his words, he was startled and the cell phone in his bag started to ring.

"Beep beep beep——"

Everyone in the group was stunned for a moment, but Li You immediately realized that the call should be from the prosthetic puppet.

He picked up the phone and it was as he expected.

"Hello, Administrator." The voice of the cyborg puppet came from the receiver, "I have encountered difficulties in the task you assigned. I find it difficult to complete it. I think you may need to operate it remotely."

Li You: "Huh?"

However, he looked at the screenshots of the video that were transmitted by the prosthetic puppet, and then he understood.

"Okay, I understand." He adjusted his goggles, "Activate remote operation mode."

The cyborg puppet replied: "It has been activated."

Then, the view in Li You's eyepiece changed, showing the scene in front of the street dance team hall. At the same time, there were two familiar people in front of the hall.

Anri, and Horace.

The two were looking at the artificial puppets at this time. An Li said, "I don't care who you are. Please move aside. We won't mind you digging a trap. We have limited time. Please don't force us to do it."

Horace on the side naturally couldn't say anything, but he also clenched the Exile's sword in his hand - this was the sword that Li You insisted on giving to him, and it was at least much better than his original halberd.

But at this moment, the originally pale and featureless face of the prosthetic puppet changed, and finally took shape into Li You's face with distinct features.

He stretched his neck and looked at Anli and Horace: "How are you, both of you?"

Both An Li and the others were shocked: "Li You...!? What's going on?"

Li You then gave a brief explanation through the prosthetic puppet.

"What you see is my magic puppet, which can be controlled remotely. As for the trap over there... I'm sorry, I dug it."

Before Anri could ask, Li You continued, "I'm sorry I can't explain the specific reasons to you, but as for the Street... Undead Squad, this salary king, I hope you can leave them to me to deal with."

"As compensation, I will provide assistance when you go to the Frigid Valley next time. What do you think?"

Anli and Horus exchanged a glance, then said, "Even if you can't help us in the Frost Valley, we won't refuse. It's thanks to you that Horus and I were able to get out of the Deep Church smoothly, and you also gave him an excellent weapon. What reason do we have to refuse this request?"

Li You smiled and said, "Thank you. Then please go down through the 'trap' over there. It is actually a passage I dug specifically to lead you directly to the campfire in the underground cemetery of Casas."

Anri looked at Horace again, and the two of them played dumb for a while, then Anri said, "No problem."

Li You snapped his fingers and said, "Okay! To be honest, I just defeated the master of the Catass Underground Cemetery, Overlord Wolnir, so you can come all the way over to the Frigid Valley."

"I will wait for you in this tomb chamber and we will go together."

After leaving the last words, Li You cut off the remote control, and the face of the prosthetic puppet returned to its default pale appearance.

Anri and Horace took another look at the cyborg puppets, and without hesitation, they jumped down from the pit.

——Inside the tomb, Li You put away his cell phone.

His companions also heard the conversation between him and Anri. Aggie asked, "Didn't we plan to go deeper underground? Are we not going?"

Li You's expression was also somewhat serious: "No, now the Ashes are all gathered here, and we don't have that much time to go shopping."

"Although the traps we dug can temporarily prevent others from fighting the Undead Team, it is hard to say what will happen to the other Cinder Kings if we move forward. Places like the Demon Ruins are not the target of others, so we can leave it for later.

"Be prepared. When we go to the Frigid Valley and the areas beyond, we must go all out and clear them as quickly as possible!"

After hearing this, Yuzu and the other two nodded solemnly.

Let’s go ahead!

They didn't have to wait long before they heard footsteps in the entrance corridor, and then a familiar figure appeared in front of everyone.

Anri, Horace, and the third person who came from nowhere, Onion.

"Huh?" Li You was also stunned, "Yang... Jack Baldo? Why are you with Anri and the others?"

Jack Baldo smiled and said, "Oh, you're talking about this. I was ambushed by someone at the door of the Undead Squad and fell into a trap. I thought the person who dug the trap had bad intentions, so I walked back along the road to find that person."

“In the end, I didn’t find the person, but instead fell into a trap in the underground cemetery and ended up lost. Luckily, I just ran into these two knights. Thanks to their help, I was able to get here safely! Hahahaha!”

Li You: "..."

Anli, Horace: "..."

Li You couldn't help but hold his forehead. He was wondering where Onion had gone, and it turned out that this guy chose to turn around on the spot.

But at least I met Anri and the other guy, and they brought me here, so it’s good that the result is good... probably.

Anri on the side nodded secretly to Li You, and the meaning was very clear, "We won't tell him that you dug the trap, don't worry."

Li You could only nod his head to express his gratitude.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go. By passing through this tomb, we can reach Irithyll in the Frost Valley."

As he spoke, Li You suddenly smiled.

"If there are friends who have never been to Irithyll, then I have to remind them."

"——There is a magnificent view ahead."

The three Ashes and Li You's three companions all looked at each other, some seemed to be thinking about something, while others were confused.

After defeating Overlord Wolnir, the stone door that blocked the front of the tomb opened automatically, revealing the still dark and narrow stairs at the back.

Everyone lined up and walked carefully up the dark and gloomy stairs. After passing through the extremely depressing underground cemetery, they walked up the stairs to the top, and the cold moonlight shone in from the small door at the end.

And when the group walked out of the stone gate, the scene before them suddenly became clear!
The moon hangs high in the blue sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the elegant Gothic-style fantasy city in the distance, dyeing the entire city blue and silver.

There are even faint auroras floating in the deep sky, as if casting an illusory veil over the city.

Further away in the city, you can vaguely see the spire of a church-like building standing tall.

This is the ancient phantom city, Irithyll, the Frost Valley.

Seeing such a scene suddenly, even V, who had seen a lot of things, was shocked and speechless. And even the Ashes who had been to Irithyll, or Li You who had seen it countless times in the game, now came here in person, and they all had a different feeling.

The city in the distance was deep, cold, elegant, and mysterious, but it seemed to be calling out to them silently, attracting everyone to throw themselves into her arms.

As the little doll in the coffin whispered:
"Wherever you go, Irithyll is always beside the moon; wherever you are, Irithyll is still your home."
