Chapter 427 Hawkwood, join the battle!
Campfire in the Catacombs of Casas.

Hawkwood sat by the fire, distracted by the shining dragon head stone in his hand.

After obtaining the Glorious Dragon Head Stone from the Ancient Dragon Peak, he actually thought for a while that he had walked out of the shadow of the past and became strong enough.

Although he was soon shocked by Li You's new attitude, he was not hit by it. After all, Li You gained the power by defeating the nameless king.

In response to Li You's invitation, Hawkwood considered it and decided to go back with him to face his former comrades.

However, after he was teleported back to the Fran Fortress, the closer he walked towards the spirit temple, the heavier his steps became and the faster his heart beat. The courage that he had gathered with great difficulty also dissipated like the ebbing tide.

Hawkwood himself did not realize that the shadow of the forest and fortress he had escaped from was still hanging over his heart, weighing heavier than he could have imagined.

It was not until today when he returned to his hometown and approached the sacred temple that the lingering past resurfaced from his heart and devoured him.

That's why he lost his mind when he arrived at the temple, why he didn't even notice the obvious big hole on the ground, and why after he fell, all the negative emotions surged up and shattered his fighting spirit.

After being scolded by Li You, Hawkwood recovered a little bit of his spirit, but looking at the shining dragon head stone in his hand and the Fran greatsword on the ground, he still found it difficult to regain his fighting spirit.

Courage is something that, once lost, is very difficult to regain.

The familiar sound of metal clashing and the low roars of his comrades seemed to still echo in his ears. Hawkwood shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of these hallucinations.

However, he shook his head so much that it almost left an afterimage, and the sound in his ears still lingered.

Hawkwood was stunned, and then his expression suddenly changed: "...No!"

In his body, some remaining blood seemed to have received a call and began to pulsate tenaciously. Hawkwood originally thought that the power that had disappeared from his body after he escaped from the Undead Squad was now awakening in his body again.

That was the residue left in his body, but it was indeed the bloodline power of the Undead Warriors.

The power of wolf blood.

And at this moment, that power was calling out to him, because he was near the Farran Temple, and because the Undead Squadron's warriors were fighting.

Hawkwood's body moved involuntarily. He grabbed the Farlan sword on the ground with his hands and used his legs to support his body.

“No, wait…!”

Hawkwood was a little terrified, but the undead warriors summoned by wolf blood could not resist. He just held the sword and walked towards the Faran Temple.

——At the same time, inside the temple.

The previous collision sound was replaced by a new sound of iron hammering, which immediately echoed in the temple.

"clang--!!"

The blue-silver blade collided with the broad sword, sparks flew everywhere. As the weapons crossed, the qi and air flow collided, and in the end, Li You was the better.

But from the outside, it seemed that Li You was wielding a samurai sword and directly fighting off the undead army wielding huge swords.

"Da da--"

The street dance team warrior took two steps back, and a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes under the helmet. But he, or the entire undead team, was now engulfed by the consciousness of fighting, so he only paused for a moment, and immediately swung the sword in his hand again!
"Whoohoo-"

The heavy swords were wielded by the Street Dancers, making them whirring. Although the Street Dancers were all undead according to the setting, they were taller than the players in the game, and the same was true when compared to the Desperate Brother. The extra-large swords, which were very heavy for the players, could be used as straight swords by them.

The Undead Warrior raised his sword and swung it left and right, forcing towards Li You.

Li You moved quickly and retreated, just in time to avoid the Undead Squad's two consecutive horizontal swings, then swung his sword to block and deflect the heavy downward blow that followed.

"clang--!!"

This blow was even heavier. Li You and the Undead Squad warriors each bounced back and took two steps back before they could stand firm.

Li You moved the five fingers holding the knife and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The fighting power of the Undead Squad in front of him was okay, not too exaggerated. If it was just him alone, Li You was confident that he could end the battle by himself.

But obviously, the Abyss Watchers and the Faran Undead Squad are not the name of one person, they are an army.

Even if only the core members of the Undead Corps become the Fire Kings, their number is definitely not small.

Li You fought with the Undead Squad warriors near the end of the spirit temple. In addition to the two of them, there was also a melee going on inside the spirit temple.

Inside the Faran Temple, the bluestone ground was littered with corpses of the Undead Army, with various causes of death, and in some places there were even small hills of corpses.

However, these corpses were not completely dead. Under the influence of the undead curse and the constraints of the Faran Temple, even if they fell down, they would quickly get up.

Although there was only one Undead Soldier standing there when Li You and others pushed the door open, more of them woke up soon after.

At this time, V, holding the samurai sword, faced a revived Undead Soldier alone. She was no match for him in a head-on fight, but with her speed advantage and agility, she managed to make the Undead Soldier, who was known for his street dance agility, spin around in circles.

The Undead Warrior also swung the Fran sword in his hand as fast as the wind. He used rolling jabs, dagger attacks, and three-step street dance, but he still couldn't catch the slippery V.

Li You usually dodges enemy attacks by judging the moves and actions, but V is simpler, she relies on reaction and speed.

If we only talk about the panel, V, as a cyborg, is stronger in this aspect than Li You.

While dodging, V's knife kept slashing at the street dancer, tearing open wounds and causing him to bleed profusely. The street dancer roared, and became more and more courageous, chasing V and swinging his sword, but with little effect.

In addition to this one, there is a third resurrected Undead Warrior. Originally in the game, this Undead Warrior was suspected to be eroded by the Abyss, had red eyes, and would attack indiscriminately.

However, the third member of the Undead Team in front of him did not do so. He still only chased after the people on Li You's side.

In the eyes of the undead team members who still have a shred of rationality, they probably have to deal with external challengers first and then deal with their internal problems.

This undead team was naturally taken over by Yuzu and Edge.

Oh, and there's Patch with his big shield and spear.

Yuzu was holding a large metal shield with raised lines on the blackened shield. It was the Dragon Hunter Shield. For Yuzu in human form, this shield was just right. He also held a Dragon Hunter Sword and Gun, but it was only for emergency use. Yuzu's main task was to protect Edge.

He roared and raised his shield to block the attack of the Undead Squad. The heavy Farlan Great Sword encountered the even heavier and exaggerated Dragon Hunter Great Shield, and could only bounce away unwillingly, failing to achieve any results.

While Yuzu was holding back her opponent, Edge was holding a gilded bow, drawing the bow and drawing an arrow. However, this time she was no longer using the gilded arrows that came with the bow. Instead, she was using huge silver arrows that were as big as iron spears. The terrifying arrow tips were flashing with cold light.

This is a dragon hunting arrow, an arrow used to hunt ancient dragons in the Age of Gods, and also used by the Silver Knights. As you can imagine, if such an arrow is used on a person, it will definitely penetrate easily.

With a whistling sound, the dragon-hunting arrow wrapped in dark green energy flew out!

A dark silver light mixed with green light flashed, and the dragon-hunting arrow pierced the third undead soldier's chest fiercely. The huge impact force caused him to fall backwards without resistance!
"Boom-"

Before the Undead Warrior could get up, the huge arrow in his chest had already pulled out of his wound, leaving a horrible hole in his chest. His whole body trembled and blood gushed out.

The big arrow then disappeared, and then appeared in the recycling quiver behind Yuzu.

There were only a few arrows in the recovered quiver, but it was almost full.

Edge came behind Yuzu, pulled out another big arrow with his backhand, bent the bow and shot it again!

This arrow was even more powerful, and it went straight through the head of the Undead Soldier who was still struggling to get up, and shot him to the ground.

This time, he finally stopped struggling.

"Drink——!!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and Patch, who had been hiding in the shadows in the corner behind Edge, rushed out, raised the Yanchi gun in his hand, and pierced the body of the Undead Soldier on the ground with one shot!

"Drink, ha, drink!"

Patch stabbed several times before stopping. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and smiled at Edge and Yuzu: "No need to thank me!"

Aggie: “…………”

Grapefruit:"………"

Even Yuzu was overwhelmed by Patch's shamelessness.

Patch was panting, but he didn't notice that behind him, another Undead Soldier who was lying on the ground slowly stood up! This one was different from the previous one, and there was a bright red light flashing in his eyes!
Edge was startled and immediately drew out the next arrow, aiming at the hip-hop team. Patch was immediately shocked and said quickly: "Don't! I was just joking, playing..."

"call out--!!"

The dragon-hunting arrow flew past his head and pierced the shoulders of the undead soldier behind him!

Patch shrank his head, then turned around and saw the red-eyed Undead Squad, and quickly ran away, hiding behind Edge and Yuzu.

"Stay away and don't get in the way." Edge said coldly and pulled out another big arrow.

Patch nodded repeatedly and retreated back to the corner.

This time, Edge didn't rush to continue the attack, but reported in the mental link: "The Red Eye Undead Squad has been spotted!"

"Pfft-"

Coincidentally, at this moment, Li You had just defeated his opponent. His lightning moon shadow passed through the chest of the street dance team warrior and then pulled out again. The opponent's body fell weakly and fell on the small altar at the end of the spirit temple.

As for V, her speed was even faster than Li You, and she was originally planning to come over to help.

Then, everyone saw the red-eyed undead army standing up from the pile of corpses on the ground and appeared in different locations of the temple.

"Red eyes? Be careful, their consciousness is confused and they can't predict their targets..."

Before Li You finished speaking, he saw three Undead Squad warriors with red eyes flashing, leaving their nearest enemies behind and looking at him!
The three undead soldiers took a step forward at the same time, holding the Faran Greatsword in both hands and raising it over their heads, and then... they suddenly rushed out, and the Faran Greatsword stabbed upwards!
One of the iconic moves of the Undead Squad, Wolf Bolt!

It is said that Hawkwood was kicked out of the street dance team because he couldn't learn this move (not true).

Looking at the Undead Squad warriors rushing towards him from three directions, Li You was full of questions.

"???"

No, why are you all coming towards me?
Aren't you, the Red-Eye Undead Squad, supposed to beat up anyone you see?
The companions reacted quickly. V raised his hand and activated the gravitational field, covering one of the Red Eyes hip-hop dancers and slowing him down. On the other side, Edge also drew his bow, but it was a pity that it was not so convenient to shoot a large bow and arrow, so she failed to catch up.

Li You took a quick look, ejected the grappling hook, and swung out from the encirclement gap created by V.

Three members of the Undead Team rushed over one after another and almost collided with each other, but they also did not attack "their own people". Instead, they looked at each other, seemingly confused, not knowing what they were looking for.

Seeing this scene, Li You and others were also a little surprised.

But then, the three members of the Undead Team turned around and saw Li You and others, so they raised their swords again and were about to pounce on the invaders!
But suddenly, there was a rumbling sound, and the small altar at the end of the mausoleum trembled, and the entire altar shrank back, revealing the underground entrance that had been covered up.

This entrance was originally to be opened after defeating the Undead Corps, and it was the road leading to the Catacombs of Casas.

But why, it is open now?
Not to mention Li You and others, even the three members of the Red-Eyed Undead Team were stunned and looked towards the entrance.

Clear footsteps were heard, along with the sound of metal dragging and colliding on the stone steps, and a figure gradually emerged from the entrance.

The Undead Squad's battle uniform and the heavy Flandersword, but without the silver pointed helmet, revealed a face that Li You was very familiar with.

Of course, this person is Hawkwood, the escapee who just climbed out of the underground cemetery.

Li You: "???"

No, what happened?
He originally thought that the mechanism of the Faran Temple suddenly opened automatically, triggering some hidden BOSS that was not in the game, and he was on guard, but the result was like this?
Hawkwood? Seriously?

Come to think of it, why did he come here again?
Li You subconsciously thought that he had thought it through and finally made a decision, but then he saw the fear on his face, which was obviously not an act.

Li You was a little confused, so what was Brother Huixin thinking?
In fact, even if we don't talk about him, Hawkwood himself was also confused.

He was completely pulled back by the call of his blood instinct, and even the mechanism that opened the entrance to the underground cemetery of Casas was not controlled by his consciousness. It was not until he stepped into the Faran Temple that his body finally returned to his control.

——The Wolf Blood card automatically finds the way, and everyone who has used it says it’s good.

Then, he saw the three Undead Squad warriors who were eyeing him covetously, as well as Li You and others further away.

Hawkwood immediately began to sweat.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the three undead soldiers who were corroded by the abyss saw his familiar outfit and had already lost their minds. They immediately put down Li You and others and turned around to rush towards him!

Hawkwood: “!!!”

"Wait for me……"

He stopped talking halfway. He was too nervous to notice it just now, but now he could clearly see the red light flashing in the eyes of the three street dance team members.

Hawkwood was stunned immediately!

"You...? No, it's impossible. How could this be..."

Before he could finish his words, the Red-Eyed Undead Squad at the front leapt up and slammed down at Hawkwood mercilessly with the sword in his hand!
In Hawkwood's eyes, the familiar blade of the Farlan Greatsword rapidly enlarged, and the scarlet eyes of his former comrade were reflected in the corners of his eyes, in which there was almost no trace of rationality.

"call out--"

"Shua——!!"

There was a loud noise, and a dragon-hunting arrow flashed by, knocking the leaping undead away; the gravitational field pressed down, slowing down the two people behind.

Then, golden lightning swept over, tearing the bodies of the last two undead soldiers into pieces!
"Boom——!!"

What followed was Li You's roar: "If you don't want to fight, don't come back and make trouble!"

But Hawkwood seemed to be oblivious. Right in front of him, three undead soldiers with bloodshot eyes were severely injured by Li You and his men, but even so, the three did not fall down, but stubbornly got up.

But Hawkwood knew that this was not because they had a strong will to fight, but because they had been eroded by the abyss and knew nothing except fighting to the death.

A stream of dark red blood splashed from someone's body and splashed onto Hawkwood's face, carrying with it a burning temperature and a fishy smell.

It was a touch that he was very familiar with in the past.

In this short moment, the memories of his past life in the Farran Undead Squad burst out like a volcanic eruption, breaking through the shackles he used to hide and occupying his mind.

The life-threatening test of joining the team, the arduous training in the Fran Fortress, the battle against the enemies eroded by the abyss, and finally, the day when he decided to leave the Undead Corps and become a deserter.

All of this kept lingering in his mind, and finally converged into a surging wave!

On the side, the undead warriors shot down by Edge's dragon-hunting arrows have climbed up. Corroded by the abyss, they have a stronger ability to resist death.

He ignored the holes on his body left by the dragon-hunting arrows, and leaped forward with his Fran sword in hand, using standard street dance sword techniques, swinging his sword close to the ground towards his former teammate who was still in a daze!

"Hawkwood--!!" Li You shouted angrily.

However, just when he thought that Hawkwood was going to die here for the last time, the discouraged brother who had been distracted suddenly raised his head.

The panic on his face had disappeared without a trace, and now there was not a single unnecessary expression on his face, only solemnity, and his hand was tightly clenched around his own Flan sword.

Facing the rapidly approaching Red-Eyed Undead Squad, Hawkwood suddenly took a step back, just in time to block the opponent's attack distance, and the sword that was sweeping towards the ground missed.

Hawkwood then took a step forward, raised his greatsword without hesitation, and stabbed it into the back of the Red-Eyed Undead Soldier who was facing away from him!
"Pfft——!"

Hawkwood did not hold back with this sword, and it went straight through the chest of the Red-Eyed Undead Squad, even stopping when it pierced the ground.

Li You: “……!!”

Is this... how he dealt with Hawkwood?
The Red-Eyed Undead Soldier had already been pierced through the abdomen by Edge's dragon-hunting arrow and was just barely able to move. Hawkwood added another sword strike and he immediately lost the ability to move and fell to the ground.

Hawkwood then drew out the Fran sword and this time turned to Li You.

Li You was also looking at him. The two men looked at each other. Li You could no longer see any hesitation in his eyes, only an indescribable determination.

Although he didn't quite understand his thoughts, Li You could understand that Hawkwood in front of him was no longer the "discouraged brother" he mentioned - at least not now.

Hawkwood picked up the Farlan Great Sword and said in a deep voice: "...I will help you kill them!"
