Chapter 409: Dragon Temple, Ancient Flying Dragon!
The top of the ancient dragon.

This area was contrary to the norm, with sunshine all day long and the sky bright, as if it was in a different time and space from Lothric.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking far ahead, the towering Ancient Dragon Temple built on the cliff stands majestically. At this moment, the sound of faint bells can be heard coming from deeper in the temple.

“Ding! Ding!”

When the bell sounded in his ears, Li You calmed his mind, re-examined the current situation, and checked his system panel.

As expected, just as the mission notes said, any functions and props involving teleportation, space transfer, and cross-border communication are not available.

He couldn't call out his companions, couldn't use the system function to teleport back to his companions' space, and couldn't use the spiral sword fragments to return to the Firelink Shrine.

In a word, he can only rely on himself here.

"...Okay, let's think about it calmly. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Li You took a deep breath.

"Now I am no longer a weakling who needs to rely on Yuzu to defeat the final boss. Besides, there are still five chances to revive... Gulongding can challenge it by himself."

Fortunately, although the system rarely cheats him in this regard, Li You has always paid attention to improving his own combat effectiveness. He is afraid that he will encounter difficulties where he cannot rely on his companions.

That's it for now.

He immediately sorted out his equipment. The characteristics of the collector's suit continued to take effect, providing him with a stable increase in ability. At the same time, various props obtained in the past, such as attribute coins, perfect beads, etc., were silently providing bonuses. This gave him powerful basic abilities, far exceeding the level of the values ​​displayed in the attribute panel.

Fortunately, the challenge at Ancient Dragon Peak this time only required him to face it alone and not run away, instead of blocking most of his system functions. Otherwise, Li You, who had lost these enhancements, would be in real trouble.

He carried the Blood Undying Slash on his back and the Lightning Moon Shadow on his waist. He could also take out and use the weapons of his companions, so Li You hung V's Awakening and the Lightning Moon Shadow together. The two swords, one long and one short, were quite a good match.

Then there was the Primal Spear, the Sun Sword, the Crystalline Rapier… These weapons that could be used, had their own quality and characteristics, and would not easily affect his movements were all hung on his body in order to maximize the special effects of the Collector's Set.

Not to mention, the increase in power gained by carrying an additional +9 awakening weapon is higher than that of hanging three or four +0 weapons. Unfortunately, Yuzu's naginata is too big and too heavy, and it is of a level that will affect his movements when carried on his back, so he can't hang it together.

However, Li You thought about it and pulled out the Black Knight's axe, swung it twice in the air, causing gusts of whistling wind in the air.

"If I use this, can't I gain an extra weapon boost?"

Although the Black Knight Axe is a weapon for special attacks against demons, and the main attackers on Ancient Dragon Peak are dragons and their followers, the Black Knight weapon also has a characteristic that it is suitable for dealing with enemies of larger size, so it is also suitable here.

Carrying the Black Knight's axe on his shoulder, Li You waved his hand and took out the ninja tool that he had not used for a long time - the glass umbrella, in order to use it as a shield in case of emergency.

"Okay, now it's time to go!" Li You raised the Black Knight's axe, swung it vigorously, and pointed it at the high temple. "It's just Ancient Dragon Peak. Watch me pass it with my life!"

However, after saying this, Li You paused and whispered to himself: "...I wonder if Brother Dixin has arrived here. If he does, maybe I can call him over to help."

But in the end, Li You still carried the axe and headed towards the temple.

"Gah——!!"

As soon as he turned the corner in front, a snake-man warrior wrapped in cloth strips and holding a large sickle-shaped hatchet screamed and rushed towards him!
This is the snakeman warrior that we also saw behind the Demon King’s gate. There is only one alive there, but there are snakemen everywhere on the Ancient Dragon Peak, and there is even a giant snakeman.

Facing the snakeman warriors rushing towards him wielding large axes and holding small leather shields, Li You also raised the Black Knight Axe vigilantly.

But the snake man did not play by the rules. It seemed to be waving a hatchet, but when it got close, it suddenly stretched out its neck, and a long snake head rushed out, opening its mouth wide to bite Li You!

Fortunately, Li You had anticipated this move. He nimbly dodged to the side with the heavy Black Knight axe, avoiding the bite and turning around. The axe drew a full arc in the air and hit the snake man's neck hard!
"Pfft-"

The ferocious blade of the Black Knight's axe almost cut off the snakeman warrior's long neck instantly, and blood spurted out. It hissed and trembled and took a few steps back. It tried to retract its neck, but it only retracted halfway before falling down.

But just as Li You retracted his axe, another snakeman warrior holding two daggers rushed over from the other side of the path.

Li You wanted to respond, but several snake warriors on the cliff farther away also discovered him at the same time, so they stretched their necks, spit out fireballs from their mouths, and attacked him from afar!
"Tsk——!"

Li You didn't have time to complain, he suddenly stepped on his feet, burst out with strength, and instantly accelerated to rush towards the snake man holding two daggers in front of him. Under his hands, the black knight's axe was lightly raised, and as Li You sprinted, a dim trajectory was outlined.

After Li You flashed past, the snakeman warrior holding two daggers was cut in half by an axe.

After killing the second snakeman instantly, Li You dodged again and hid behind a huge rock at the intersection. He stuck his head out and looked at the snakemen in the distance, but immediately attracted several fireballs that hit the side of the huge rock.

Li You was not in a panic. He stretched out his hand and the echo appeared in his hand.

"Playing remotely, huh? Come on!"

He raised the Echo, leaned out and aimed at the snake people!

"boom--!!"

……

Naturally, even if a group of snake people could spit fireballs, their long-range attacks were far inferior to Li You's sniper rifle, and they were quickly knocked down.

There were two smarter snakemen who saw that they couldn't win the shootout, so they thought about rushing towards Li You. Unfortunately, they were only a little smarter. The echo was powerful and had unlimited bullets, and the output was almost uninterrupted. They were pierced by bullets wrapped in arcs halfway and fell to the ground and died.

In this way, Li You successfully arrived at the first campfire on Gulongding.

Yes, this is only the first campfire, and the next one is the first BOSS of Ancient Dragon Peak, commonly known as "One-Sword Dragon" - the ancient flying dragon.

The battle against the ancient flying dragon BOSS in the game is a story-based battle. You just need to run all the way to the designated location, then fall down and attack, and you can solve it with one sword.

As long as the last jump doesn't go astray, the difficulty of this BOSS battle will be only due to the big and small snake men along the way.

However, considering that he was chased around by a giant sandworm in Smoke Lake before, Li You thought that it would be better not to assume that the ancient flying dragon would just stand there and wait for him to fall and attack like in the game.

Who knows, by then Li You might be halfway through his run, and when he looks up, he will see Yidaolong's big mouth waiting for him on the other side of the passage, ready to receive the takeaway.

So he thought about it and decided to find another way.

Although there are now five more resurrections, we are not really immortal, so there is no need to be so rigid.

He did not walk along the stairs on the left side of the campfire towards the temple, but turned right and went down the same way he had just come. There was an elevator at the corner of the road, which directly connected to the Dragon Temple, allowing him to skip the battle area of ​​the One-Sword Dragon.

Entering the elevator, the spider rune Li You carried in his backpack lit up, and he used it to climb up the inner wall of the elevator and climbed up along the way. Halfway up, seeing that the distance was right, Li You shot out the grappling hook and pulled himself into the temple.

He came out from a ruined temple, on the second floor corridor. Although the dome and interior furnishings were badly damaged, one could still vaguely see the grand occasion of the past.

"jingle--"

As soon as he came up, he heard a clear bell sound coming from not far away. The bell sound echoed far away, resounding throughout the entire temple.

Without hesitation, Li You drew out the Black Knight's axe, followed the sound, rushed along the corridor, and dealt a heavy blow to the snake-man priest sitting in the stroller!
"Pfft——!"

The snakeman priest originally wanted to shake his staff to summon a magic ball of light, but Li You chopped it in half almost from head to tail with one axe!
The snake man priest naturally died at this point, but when Li You turned around again, he saw a knight in black armor carrying a big sword, who had just climbed up the stairs from the first floor of the mausoleum and was rushing towards him along the corridor!
The knight's armor was exactly the same as the knight in the Demon King's room who was in the meditation posture of "setting foot on the ancient dragon's path".

This is the Dragon Blood Knight.

The Dragon Blood Knight was summoned by the Serpent Man Priest who was just cut in half by Li You, and he was also one of the defenders of the Dragon Man Temple. If the Serpent Man Priest was not killed, then even if this Dragon Blood Knight was killed, it would continue to summon the next one.

Even in rare cases, the snakeman priest might summon a Havel warrior... that would be a big win. Fortunately, although Li You always had a bad face, he didn't run into a Havel warrior as soon as he arrived.

The Dragon Blood Knight was already chasing after them. The Dragon Blood Greatsword in his hand was also called the Dragon Blood Greatdagger, which was the shortest greatsword. And because it was not wielded by the usual horizontal swing and vertical chop, but a spiral sword technique close to the real European classical swordsmanship, it was not affected much in this narrow passage.

On the other hand, Li You really couldn't use his Black Knight Axe here.

The terrain was unfavorable, but Li You was not panicked at all. He waited for the Dragon Blood Knight to run towards him along the corridor. After a lot of effort, he finally reached him. Li You leaned on the corridor railing, flipped over and jumped back to the lower level.

The movements of the Dragon Blood Knight on the second floor also obviously froze for a moment. He looked at Li You below, and Li You even waved at him: "Come down!"

Dragon Blood Knight: “…”

He didn't say anything, and wasn't as stiff as Li You imagined. He just ran back down, but imitated Li You and flipped down from the guardrail.

Li You raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

How come you, an immortal, have knees?

But Li You was not in a hurry. Seeing the Dragon Blood Knight jumped down, he grabbed the hook and pulled himself back.

"Come up here!"

Dragonblood Knight: “…”

Although he has a physical body, his existence seems to be closer to that of a spirit, so he has no ability to curse. He can only carry the sword and chase after Li You in a dull manner.

However, Li You was not really bored enough to play with him, he just wanted to test how strong his mobility was.

Seeing that the Dragon Blood Knight wanted to climb the stairs again, Li You didn't say anything more and jumped down directly from the second-floor railing. He raised the Black Knight's axe high, and then chopped it down swiftly with the force of splitting mountains and splitting rocks!

The Black Knight's Axe was originally used by the Black Knight to fight against huge demons, so its characteristic is that it is strong and powerful!
This is how this thing is supposed to be used!
"Qiang——!!"

The Dragon Blood Knight reacted quickly, and stepped aside quickly, allowing the Black Knight's axe swung by Li You to embed deeply into the stairs. Then, he rolled back again, and swung the sword towards Li You!
Unexpectedly, Li You suddenly shouted, exerted all his strength, and pulled up the Black Cavalry's axe!

The Black Knight's axe brought up pieces of flying gravel, and the double-sided axe blade went straight to the Dragon Blood Knight's abdomen. This time, even if he realized that something was wrong, he didn't have time to dodge.

"Qiang——!!"

The Black Knight's axe tore through the Dragonblood Knight's armor, leaving a horrible hole in his abdomen, blood gushing out. But the Dragonblood Knight took two steps back, and was unwilling to fall down. Instead, he raised the dragon-patterned shield behind him, ready to make a final stand.

But Li You didn't intend to waste time with him.

He took a step forward, grasped the Black Knight's axe with both hands, and smashed it to the ground. He dragged half a step, and the friction between the axe blade and the brick and stone steps produced a large amount of sparks!

Li You took another step forward, and the Black Cavalry's axe swept across the ground, then suddenly raised it up!

"puff--!"

The axe's sharp blade penetrated the flesh, then cut through the armor, and finally got stuck in the thickest part of the breastplate. However, the axe's remaining power continued to move upward, directly lifting the entire Dragonblood Knight into the air!
"Puff-"

The Dragon Blood Knight fell heavily to the ground, and then turned into a wandering soul and disappeared.

Li You spun the Black Knight's axe in the air in a fancy way, then placed the top end downward and placed it heavily on the ground.

"Dragon Man Temple, breakthrough completed!"

He looked around and announced with a smile on his face.

"...Well, it's just lacking an audience."

Li You pulled up the axe helplessly, put it back on his shoulder, and then returned to the first floor of the sacred temple. He first lit a campfire on one side, and then walked out from the exit opposite the campfire.

Here we return to Ichiro's battle site, with the final falling attack taking place nearby.

On this road, snake warriors were patrolling and guarding. Among them, the back of a giant snake man several meters tall and holding an exaggerated chain axe was particularly eye-catching.

"call out--"

The Black Knight's axe swept through the air, neatly splitting the body of the snakeman warrior guarding the exit of the spirit temple from behind. After knocking it down, Li You observed the direction where Yidaolong originally appeared - there was no movement.

he mused.

"It seems that we must enter through the main gate to start the trial and make the ancient flying dragon appear?"

At the moment, it seems feasible to skip the One-Sword Dragon, but there is no doubt that the Ancient Flying Dragon is part of the Ancient Dragon Trial. After all, the Flying Dragon Trial has official suggestions.

The mission at Ancient Dragon Peak requires him to pass the trial, so he still has to fight Yidaolong...

However, if the difficulty can be reduced, Li You will certainly not refuse.

So he showed the Thunder Moon Shadow.

In the soul world, snakes are degenerated dragons. The lightning that is effective against dragons is naturally effective against snake people as well.

Li You stabbed another small snake man not far away in the back, then raised the Thunder Moon Shadow, and the golden lightning wrapped around it pounced on the giant snake man!

At the moment of contact, lightning spread throughout the snake man's body!
"Gah——!!"

Li You then drew out the Black Knight axe again and rushed forward!

"call out--!"

……

Not long after, Li You had killed all the snake people along the way, leaving no one alive, and also looted all kinds of stones in the venue.

I have to say, it is worthy of being the top of the ancient dragon, the stone resources are really rich.

Afterwards, Li You used the grappling hook to cross the closed gate again, returned to the outside of the gate, and honestly pulled the lever to open the closed city gate.

This time, just as he took a few steps into the gate, he heard a dragon's roar, and a gray-white two-legged flying dragon flapped its wings and landed on the square behind the city gate!
This dragon looks exactly like the flying dragon of Lothric City, but its size is more than twice as large.

Ancient flying dragon!
Li You watched the ancient flying dragon walking towards him. He raised his hand without hesitation and shot out the grappling hook. He rose up, then spun in the air. He changed hands with the grappling hook and pulled himself to the city gate behind him.

But at the same time, the ancient flying dragon suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of scorching fire!

The gushing flames swept towards Li You, and the momentum was almost enough to burn him to ashes!

However, Li You was already experienced in this type of fire breath attack. He shot out the grappling hook in his right hand again, and at the same time, he unfolded the glazed umbrella in his left hand, protecting his body behind it, and then he left the flame area.

That’s not all. Li You put away the glazed umbrella in mid-air, took out the Black Knight’s axe again, and used another mountain-splitting move, smashing it heavily on the ancient flying dragon’s head!

The battle ends...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li You saw that the boiling flames below suddenly dissipated, and under the flames, the bloody mouth of the ancient flying dragon had opened at some point, looking up to the sky, waiting for him to fall into its trap!
Li You: "!?"

But at this time, even he had no time to dodge. The ancient flying dragon suddenly stretched out its long neck and swallowed Li You into its mouth!
