Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 429: The Second Firewood

The Cinderella Undead Squad has not fallen yet, but it is obvious that the previous attack has also caused considerable damage to him.

However, because he was in the Farran Temple, his injuries were slowly healing and he would soon be back to normal... Hawkwood, who was lying on the side, was not so lucky. He was almost dying and couldn't even move.

In addition, the wolf blood aura on his body was masked by the body of the little dragon man, so after the Fire King's Undead Squad struck him with a sword, they didn't even look at him again, but looked at Li You.

Seeing the Fire King's Undead Squad looking up, Li You rushed forward and slashed with another knife!

"call out--"

"clang--!!"

It was unknown how many times that the Fran Sword collided with the Thunder Moon Shadow. Li You did not use his full strength and jumped back to avoid it. At this moment, a dragon-hunting arrow flew from the air and shot towards the Undead Team!
The Fire King's Undead Squad wanted to dodge, but his injuries somewhat affected his movements. His feet trembled slightly, and he was shot in the left chest by an arrow.

"Pfft."

In the Fire King state, the Undead Squad leader's internal energy also expanded. Now, even if he was hit by a dragon hunting arrow, he would only take a step back and would not be knocked down. If he was in the energy gathering state ready to attack, he could even withstand the dragon hunting arrow.

But the injury still had to be accepted. The tip of the dragon hunting arrow came out from the back of the Cinder King Undead Squadron, and the corrosive energy eroded his body, which was then offset by the flames in his body. The Undead Squadron raised their great swords and rushed towards Edge!

Li You and V followed closely behind, but the Undead Squad had anticipated this and immediately turned around and swept across, forcing the two to retreat, and then immediately rushed towards Edge with a wolf-like leap!

He also seemed to think that he should kill off the squishy guy who was using the Dragon Hunting Arrow to continuously deal long-range damage first. After all, he couldn't take down Li You in a short time.

Seeing the Cinderella Undead Squad rushing towards her quickly, Aggie did not panic but quickly retreated. The Undead Squad's speed slowed down a little due to their recent injuries, which gave her enough time to react.

Of course, there is another person who has always been by her side.

Yuzu held up the Dragon Hunter Shield and blocked the charge route of the Cinder King Undead Team without knowing when! The Wolf Arrow Step had no ability to turn around halfway, so the Undead Team could only charge forward!

"Boom-!!"

There was a heavy sound similar to the sound of a bell, and Yuzu, who was in human form, was knocked into the air. He landed safely only because the tentacles behind him grabbed the ceiling and the wall. His skin cracked all over his body, and blood kept pouring out, but he recovered at a much faster speed than the Undead Squad.

The Fire King Undead Squad was not feeling well after being hit like this. They staggered back two steps, and their right hand could not help but tremble, affecting the injuries on their body.

And Edge had taken the opportunity to create some distance and bent the bow again. At the same time, behind him, Li You swung his sword again!

Although his speed slowed down due to his injuries, the movements of the Fire King's Undead Squad were still much faster than Li You. Therefore, he immediately turned and dodged, avoiding Li You's blade and Edge's arrow, and turned around to rush towards V who was farther away!

Li You did not expect that the Fire King Undead Squad had come to their senses and decided to avoid him. He immediately turned the blade and slashed at them, but he only cut a piece of the Undead Squad's fluttering cloaks.

The torn cloak had black stains spreading out, and was instantly blown away by the strong wind created by the movement of the crowd.

The Cinderella Undead Squad leaped up, holding the Farlan Greatsword upside down with both hands, with flames rising, and stabbed towards V!

V didn't expect that the Undead Squad would turn around and rush towards him. Are they planning to pick on the weak first?
Judging from the actions of the Cinder King Undead Squad, he seemed to have really thought of this. First it was Edge, then V. Both of them were seriously injured and dying on the spot after being hit by the Cinder King Undead Squad. This was no joke.

V thought of the fighting power of Salivan whom he had faced before, and remembered Li You's evaluation that "Salivan's strength is probably second only to the King of Fire". He also knew how powerful he was, so he instantly activated Saniwestin, leaving an afterimage on his body, and dodged.

Even so, she was burned by the exploding flames caused by the falling Undead Squad of the Lord of Fire. The flames were so hot that even a small piece of the veil on her face was burned.

"…Why are you still hitting people in the face?!"

V cursed as he ejected the projectile launcher in his left hand and fired a shot at the Cinder King Undead Squad. The explosion of flames and electricity covered his upper body and also made the Undead Squad groan. Never mind the damage, at least it was an eye for an eye.

The Cinderella Undead Squad dispersed the flames, but saw that V had already avoided them and kept a long safe distance, so they couldn't help but squint their eyes.

For him, the overall strength of each opponent can still be roughly sensed. Li You has the most vigorous Qi and magic power in his body, and is obviously the strongest enemy. The second is the one who resists the big shield, whose strength is also extraordinary.

As for the remaining Edge and V, the Undead Squad all noticed that they were obviously much worse in terms of physical fitness. It should have been a good breakthrough point, but one was protected by Yuzu and the other was so fast that they couldn't catch up.

In the Fire King form, although the Undead Squad also endured the torture of fire, causing his mind to be a little unclear, it was still smarter than the state of being eroded by the abyss in the first stage. So after thinking briefly with his remaining rationality, he turned around and looked at Li You who was chasing behind him.

"boom--!!"

The great sword of Fran fell down with a bang!

Li You was on guard this time, reacting in advance and raising his knife to block the attack. He was also swept by the flames, but fortunately the Collector's Suit could provide stronger defense than V's Dancer Armor, so nothing happened.

This time, the Fire King Undead Squad was no longer distracted and just focused on Li You, using street dance sword techniques frequently and waving the dagger in his left hand continuously, forcing Li You to retreat again and again.

"...Tsk, the Fire King form is really troublesome!"

Li You had to admit that the power of these Cinder Kings was really strong after being released. Take the Undead Squad for example. If he was facing the second stage of him before coming to the Dark Souls World, even if he could dodge the attack, he would hardly have a chance to counterattack. Even if he counterattacked, it would probably just be a scratch. If he was hit by a knife, he would still be seriously injured on the spot.

Soul Three is at the end of its days, and its power has dropped severely, but even so, a strong man at the level of the King of Fire cannot be insulted.

Even now, Li You knew that he could not keep passively resisting, so he took advantage of the moment when the Undead Squad's greatswords were swung again and launched the Feather of Mist Crow!

"call--"

Li You's body turned into black smoke and dissipated, keeping a distance. The Fire King's Undead Squad obviously did not have the ability to break the Feather of the Mist Crow, but with his pupils burning with flames, he found out Li You's landing point with a glance, so he accumulated strength in advance and chopped him down with a sword!
But at this moment, a faint whistling sound came from behind, and Edge's arrows and V's bullets flew one after another!
At this moment, the Fire King Undead Squad used their remaining sanity to think for a while and felt that they should deal with Li You first, so they ignored the attack from behind and still struck down with a sword!
Li You's figure indeed appeared at the point where the Fran sword landed, but although he was predicted in advance by the Undead Team, he was not panicked. He raised his hand, opened the glass umbrella, and blocked it in front of himself!
Facing the falling swords of the Fire King's Undead Squad, Li You suddenly turned the glass umbrella!

"Qiang——!!"

The flaming Fran sword collided with the rotating glazed umbrella, and flames rose from the divine bird pattern on the glazed umbrella, offsetting the flames on the sword. The rotating umbrella also reduced the force of the sword by nearly half.

But even so, Li You was still slid back by the sword of the Fire King Undead Squad, and his feet plowed two furrows on the ground, and he finally stood firm. The energy in his body flowed wildly, fighting against the energy of the Undead Squad that invaded his body, and he struggled to offset it.

Fortunately, such a collision did not make the Undead Squad feel uncomfortable. Moreover, he chose to hit Li You hard, which exposed his back to the attacks of Edge and V.

"Boom——!!"

The electric projectile exploded on the Undead Soldier's back, and the dragon-hunting arrow followed, piercing his chest again.

The Fire King Undead Team trembled all over, but did not care about those things. They raised their hands to continue chasing, but Li You's figure suddenly flashed, and he turned into four, running in different directions!

The Undead Squad was also stunned when they saw it, then they reacted and swung their swords to cut it down!

He used street dance sword skills, leaned forward and spun around, flames swept across, and the sword blade cut through the bodies of the two "Li You", but the two Li Yous immediately shattered like phantoms and disappeared.

When the Fire King Undead Squad came to their senses, they saw two Li You standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right, each holding the Thunder Moon Shadow in their hands, and golden light shining on the blades!

"drink--!!"

The two Li You shouted at the same time and rushed towards the Undead Squad!
"boom!!"

The Undead Squad showed no sign of weakness, and Fran wielded the greatsword like the wind!

Of course, the two Li Yous were one real and one fake. At this time, the remaining phantom body rushed forward and was torn into pieces by the flaming Fran sword. Li You himself pretended to attack, but in fact he was retreating instead of advancing. The golden light on the blade flashed by so quickly that he did not summon lightning at all.

His divine power is limited now, so he has to save it for the most critical moment and not waste it carelessly.

But that time is coming soon.

When the Fire King's Undead Squad saw Li You's real body escaping, they snorted coldly and were about to chase him, but at this moment, they heard a loud dragon roar from behind!

"Roar--!!!"

The Undead Squad turned around in shock, only to see that the little dragon man who had been pierced in the abdomen by their sword had unexpectedly recovered from his near-death injury.

That’s not all, he actually approached behind him silently, holding two shining ancient dragon stones, raised his head and roared!

At this moment, inspired by the Ancient Dragon Stone, the skinny little dragon man's body seemed to have some of the majesty of a real ancient dragon.

Behind Hawkwood, a huge shadow emerged. It was obviously an ancient stone dragon, floating in the air behind Hawkwood. Although only a head and two claws were revealed, it was also full of courage!

The phantom of the ancient dragon and the little dragon Hawkwood roared together, and their sharp claws slammed towards the Cinder King's Undead Squad!

The Cinderella Undeads wanted to run, but a red warning halo lit up around them, and the gravitational field pressed down again! V was already firing at full power!

It's not that Li You doesn't want to use the Giant Whistle, but it's mainly because summoning the Giant's arm requires a pre-swing, and it's easy to miss without assistance. In comparison, the activation speed of the Gravitational Mechanical Gloves is much faster than that of the Giant Whistle or its prototype, the Cybernetic King Kong, so it can catch the Undead Team at the critical moment.

The Fire King's Undead Squad, who wanted to dodge, slowed down for a moment, while the sharp claws of the ancient dragon's phantom had already fallen!

"Boom!!"

The pair of huge phantom dragon claws slammed down hard on the Undead Squad, and right after that, the phantom dragon head bit down, and real flames gushed out of its mouth!

"Boom——!!"

The Cinder King Undead Squad roared in anger and pain in the flames, but it was in vain. Hawkwood had been waiting for a long time, and his first move was a precise strike!

When the boiling flames burned out and the ancient dragon's shadow finally dissipated, everyone saw the Fire King's Undead Squad half-kneeling on the ground, with the greatsword of Fran stabbed into the ground to support their bodies, and the flames on the sword were almost extinguished.

Li You and Hawkwood could both feel that the Cinder King Undead Squad was indeed seriously injured. The damage caused by the Ancient Dragon Shadow to him was much higher than Li You expected.

But this is reasonable. If the power of ancient dragons is really as useless as the value in the game, then wouldn't it be clownish for Hawkwood and the warriors of all generations who have believed in dragons to pursue this power?

But in the same way, even Hawkwood's long-accumulated ancient dragon power was not enough to defeat the Undead Squad in the form of the Cinder King. The Undead Squad leader trembled, and the sparks on his body lit up again, and he stood up again. The flames were rekindled.

Li You on the side frowned slightly.

The tenacity of the Cinder King Undead Squad was even greater than he had expected. It seemed that the previous Cinder King Aldrich had somewhat embarrassed the Cinder King. Regardless of the actual combat power, its mental toughness was not even comparable to that of the Undead Squad.

But it doesn't seem strange. That bastard is just a drowned pig that only knows how to eat people. He is also the only inferior creature among the Fire Kings who is not worthy of respect. It is normal for him to be embarrassed.

But no matter what, Li You and others also raised their weapons and were on high alert. The Undead Squad was really seriously injured, but just as injured beasts are the most dangerous, the Undead Squad at this time should not be underestimated.

But when everyone was about to take action, they saw Hawkwood had already raised his Flan Greatsword and rushed towards the Undead Squadron with a roar!

“Ahhhh——!!”

Li You: “……!?”

He's crazy?
Hawkwood rushed forward quickly, but the Cinderella Undead Squad had already stood up. Seeing this, he thrust out a sword without hesitation!

But what no one expected was that Hawkwood did not dodge or evade, but rushed towards the sword!

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared in the burning eyes of the Fire King Undead Squad.

"Pfft——!!"

The sound of a blade piercing flesh was heard, but not just once. Hawkwood collided head-on with the Cinder King Undead Squadron's Flan Greatsword, and the sword pierced through his body, but his own greatsword also pierced through the Undead Squadron's chest!

As the flaming blood spilled, the Cinder King's Undead Squad trembled violently and took a step back involuntarily.

Hawkwood held his own Flan sword tightly in one hand and grasped the blade of the Undead Army's sword with the other hand. His hand was cut by the sword and blood flowed, and then it was burned by the flames on the sword.

“Li You——!!” Hawkwood roared loudly!

A whistle sounded, and a huge bony hand broke out of the ground, grabbing both the Cinder King Undead Squad and Hawkwood in its hand.

Not far from the two of them, Li You put down the Thunder Moon Shadow, inserted it into the ground, and then pulled out the Blood Immortal Slash from behind.

Without the suppression of divine power, the Blood Immortal Slash kept jumping in his hand, and the dragon-shaped blood shadow on the blade was rolling faintly, as if trying to break free from his control.

However, Li You only increased the strength in his hand and clenched the Immortal Slash. Then, in his eyes, flames, lightning, and storms flashed one after another, and the divine power that was deliberately reserved burst out!
"Rumble--"

The fire storm swept across, and Li You had transformed into a dragon man!
Compared to Hawkwood's little dragon, Li You's current form was much more majestic and powerful. He clenched the Blood Undying Slash, which had calmed down instantly, and flapped the four wings behind him, and rushed forward immediately, with the blade shining brightly!
Under Li You's control, the ferocious Blood Immortal Slash instantly swung out countless blood-colored blade beams!
The divine version of the secret of One Heart!
Supported by the power of the dragon man form, the sword skill Li You used this time almost had the sharpness to cut through space!
"咻咻咻——!!"

The blood-red blade light enveloped the Undead Team. In front of the blade light, even the defense of the Fire King form was easily broken!

"Pfft-"

Flesh and blood flying everywhere!
The exploding power wave blew Hawkwood away violently. Although the Fire King's Undead Squad still wanted to resist, Li You had already retreated half a step, put away his sword briefly, and then... swung out a final horizontal slash!
"Shua——!!"

With this strike, the movements of the Cinder King's Undead Squad suddenly froze. He held up the Farlan Great Sword and wanted to take the blow, but he could no longer move.

"puff--"

Blood spurted, and the greatsword of Farran slipped from his hand and fell to the ground with a clang. The Undead Squad of the Cinder King finally fell to their knees helplessly.

Behind him, Li You wrapped his body with four wings, having already released his dragon-man form, and the Blood Immortal Slash was also put back into its sheath.

He turned his head to look at the Cinderella Undead Squad, and the Undead Squad was also trying hard to look back at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and several different expressions flashed through the eyes of the Undead Squad captain, but they finally stopped at calmness.

Beside Li You, the little dragon Hawkwood staggered forward, holding the greatsword of Fland. Perhaps because of his severe injuries, which were close to death, his dragon-human transformation was collapsing, and his original face was revealed.

The Undead Squad looked at him again and nodded imperceptibly.

With just this one action, Hawkwood seemed to collapse. He fell to his knees with a thud, pounded his fists on the floor, and let out a mournful roar!

"Ahhhh...!!!"

The captain of the Undead Squad seemed to want to say something, but his life force was already gone. The flames from the wounds all over his body completely devoured his flesh.

After the flames dissipated, all that remained were the vigorous souls of the Undead Squad of the Fire King Fran and the charred skulls on the ground.

This is the Undead Soldier's Cinderella. Unlike Aldrich, their Cinderella has several heads, their bones are black but complete, and they all wear the iconic pointed helmet.

The Undead Team achieved the title of Fire King as a whole, so the firewood was also calculated together.

Li You did not rush to pick it up, but squatted beside Hawkwood and patted him on the shoulder.

Hawkwood's body trembled, but he finally recovered. He raised his upper body and looked at the floating soul in front of him and the firewood on the ground, and was momentarily absent-minded.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "...You can take the firewood away."

Li Youze looked at him: "Are you okay?"

Hawkwood shook his head. "From the moment I woke up from the grave, I knew that this day would come."

“The Fortress of Farlan was destroyed long ago, and they were awakened from their graves only to be burned again... This is what is called a king.

"But even so, they are still obsessed with their so-called duty and want to hunt the Abyss... What a bunch of idiots."

Hawkwood laughed sadly, but then said, "But I still have to thank you. I can see that these guys are also looking for a place to be buried. If you can kill them, it will also end their suffering."

"Let's go, take their souls and their heads, and find the next king.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I won't say anything like 'mission is over' to commit suicide."

Hawkwood laughed at himself again, "It's just that the Undead Squad was killed. What does it have to do with me? I'm no longer a member of the Undead Squad."

"I'm just... tired and need to rest."

Seeing him like this, Li You felt relieved, so he didn't say much, patted him on the shoulder again, collected the souls of the Undead Squad and the firewood of the Fire King, and then walked out of the Faran Temple with his companions.

Only Hawkwood was left sitting alone in the mausoleum, staring at the corpses scattered all over the ground, lost in thought.

——Outside the mausoleum.

Li You and his group had just arrived here when a noise was heard from a big tree beside the road and Patch poked his head out.

"...Oh? Looks like you guys won. That's awesome."

He climbed down the rope, brushed off the leaves on his body, and came in front of Li You.

"You are worthy of me, hehe, I knew you could do it." Patch rubbed his hands and said, "You don't have to thank me, it's just a piece of cake. Of course, if you are willing to give me a little soul in return, I don't mind, hehe!"

Li You raised his eyebrows and looked at him without saying anything. Patch was stared at for a while, sweat oozing from his head. He laughed dryly, "...Ahaha, look at you, I was just joking. You really have no sense of humor."

Li You laughed, shook his head and said, "It's okay. Anyway, you helped a little. How about this, I will buy all the things you steal from Irithyll with Greyrat at a 10% markup. What do you think?"

"That's not stealing, that's picking up! Their owner died a long time ago!" Patch retorted immediately, but then smiled and said, "Thank you so much, brother! Without further ado, I'll go find that old man now!"

Watching Patch running away happily, Li You also shook his head.

In fact, for Li You now, the things they can retrieve from Irithyll are no longer of much value, but Greyrat has always wanted to help him in this way, so Li You naturally would not discourage his enthusiasm.

V next to him asked, "So, why did this guy suddenly want to help us fight the Undead Squad?"

Li You said: "Although I'm not sure, I guess we should thank our friend for that."

Edge and V both understood, and even Yuzu quickly realized: "...I see."

"Yes." Li You also nodded, "Time waits for no one, let's go back and rest, and then prepare to go to the City of Sin."

"--clear."

Elsewhere, Patch was gathering his bits and pieces.

When he heard the echo of the transmission in his ears, he stopped and looked at the road again. Li You and others had already left.

Seeing this, Patch put away the obscene smile on his face for a rare time, and whispered to himself with a slightly serious expression: "It's already the second salary king so soon... Old Rat, your eyesight of people is still as sharp as ever!"

"In this way, I have repaid your favor!"

However, Patch was serious for only a moment, and the familiar smile returned to his face. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Never mind! The Undead Squad has been dealt with, so there must be some good stuff in their warehouse, right? Although the warehouse is hidden secretly, it can't be hidden from my uncle Patch!"

"Hey, hey, hey, honey, here I come!"

Having said that, Patch happily headed towards the Faran Temple again.
