Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 519: Initial Test of the Ashes System, "Half Wolf" Appears

The hovercraft descended smoothly between large chunks of floating rubble and groundwater rushing down the walls of the pit.

Although the falling meteor disrupted some gravity, it did not affect the flight of the hovercraft.

Of course, if you descend to the bottom of this pit, you will probably see a broken meteorite, and the entrance to the Eternal City is on the inner wall of the pit. However, since the depth of the pit is much more exaggerated than in the game, it is really difficult to get down without some tricks.

Under Li You's instructions, the hovercraft quickly arrived at a protruding platform in the middle of the pit. A gate-like entrance could be seen on the platform. With Li You's eyesight, he even discovered the shadow of a man-made building deep inside.

The group then walked into the cave and found themselves inside a spacious, tall, but long-ruined building. Cold, pale spiritual fire was burning in the candlesticks on the four walls. There was a huge pit in the middle of the floor paved with square bricks, through which one could directly see the floor below.

Judging from the marks on the edge of the fracture, the building must have collapsed much earlier than the big pit outside.

Going down and forward, and walking out of the building, the vast underground space appears in front of everyone.

This place is buried deep underground, so it is an eternal night. Only the light projected from somewhere on the mountain wall and the flickering flames of the spiritual fire candlesticks illuminate the space.

In front of them, exquisite, tall, and solemn buildings were lined up one after another, stretching all the way forward. Even though the main parts were still hidden in the darkness, since most of these buildings were now tilted and collapsed, the visual impact brought by civilization and prosperity itself was still not diminished at all.

"Is this the Eternal City you mentioned?" Edge and V's eyes lit up. Although they had heard Li You's general description before, they were still surprised to see such an exquisite building in the underground world.

"Where have we reached yet? You haven't seen the true beauty of the underground world." Li You just smiled.

This is not the main way to Noklongn, and this building is actually just a corner of the Eternal City, so that the real iconic scene of the underground world - the false night sky, has not yet appeared in front of everyone.

There are no other enemies in this area, only a silver teardrop-shaped deformed creature that will shoot silver spears that branch out of its body to attack, but it poses little threat.

After dealing with them, and then moving forward along the outside of the collapsed building, you will be able to return to a spacious building. This place is also broken and dilapidated, but there are some skinny guys with pale and rotten skin, moving around like zombies.

They held spiritual fire torches in their hands, and could also use swords, spears, iron shields, bows and arrows and other weapons. As soon as they saw Li You and others, they attacked without hesitation.

Although these strange enemies looked very familiar and made people feel like they were at home, Li You and his companions still eliminated them without mercy.

After shooting an arrow through a white man holding a bow in the distance, Edge couldn't help but ask, "Who are these guys...?"

"I remember they were human soldiers who came to investigate the Eternal City. They were called the Fallen Eagle Legion." Li You answered simply, "They must have been trapped underground for too long and turned into this. They are just the ghosts of history. Don't worry about them."

"Compared to this, the real underground world lies ahead. Are you ready?"

After dealing with the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion, they moved forward and finally arrived at an undamaged building, where the first blessing along the way was also found.

There is no need to rest, but Li You also noticed that the blessing here has not been lit up by anyone.

"It seems that no other Faded Ones have been here before." He knew it in his mind, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

If Kara had never been here, it would be difficult to determine her whereabouts. But on the other hand, he should be able to gain something from this trip.

"Let's go."

Walking out of the circular lobby, there is a completely open space in front of you, an exquisite square. The previous darkness disappears in an instant, and the bright starlight illuminates this underground world!
Yes, what illuminates the earth at this moment are the twinkling stars in the "sky".

A rock wall could be seen right above everyone’s heads, and in the distant sky, the underground world had long lost its boundaries. There were no more constraints above, and instead there was a seemingly infinite night sky!

In the night sky, the twinkling stars radiate dazzling light, and even in the distance you can see a purple-red nebula. If you can stand high up, you will almost have the illusion that you are floating in the universe.

"Is this... the starry sky of the Eternal City?" This time, even Yuzu's eyes widened. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have thought that deep underground, there would be such a gorgeous starry sky?

Li You looked at their expressions and was very satisfied.

"That's what I want to see."

When he first started playing the game, he felt the same shock when he first went down to the underground world through the Shifra River elevator in the foggy forest.

This is the art of the fan club. Do other 3A companies have this level of art? (Tactical retreat)
"call out--"

At this moment, an arrow burning with spiritual fire flew over, interrupting Li You and his group's enjoyment of the magnificent scenery.

Li You was furious. He grabbed the arrow and twisted it. The crimson flame replaced the spiritual fire on the arrow. He threw the arrow with his backhand. The flaming arrow flew out and instantly pierced the Fallen Eagle soldier who shot the arrow! However, the other Fallen Eagle Legion soldiers had already surrounded him with iron swords and spears. The spiral sword turned into a spear in Li You's hand, and then he waved his hand forward and pointed: "Kill them all!"

Everyone took action immediately!

——The battle was short and not intense.

They are just a group of soldiers who have lost their minds. Although they still have some instinct to work in groups and as a team, they do not pose any obstacle to Li You and his team.

After Li You dealt with several enemies, he suddenly thought of something, ran to the garden on one side of the square, and brought back two things.

It was a small gray square box and two plants with a large number of white bell-shaped buds hanging on them.

"What is this?" V is always the most curious.

"This is what I said before, the ashes with souls." Li You showed the box, "And this is the cemetery lily of the valley, a special plant needed to enhance the power of the soul."

"So, using this urn can bring out the soul of the original owner? Just like the necromancy in the game?" V also became interested. She has always been passionate about those "dark" magics.

“Although the manifestation may be somewhat similar, the essence is different.” Li You said, “This is not necromancy.”

"Oh, it's almost the same anyway." V ​​came close to Li You and grabbed his arm directly: "How do you use this thing? Can you show me?"

Li You was helpless. Seeing that V was about to hang on him, he was afraid that she would not let go unless he showed her, so he said, "Okay, wait a minute. I'll find something."

He opened the system menu, fumbled in his backpack, and finally took out a small dark bell, which had been gathering dust in his bag for a long time.

[Soul-Calling Bell: After shaking, you can call the soul of the deceased and talk to it. The specific effect depends on the condition of the soul. 】

[Note: In some special worlds, wonderful changes may also occur. ]

This bell was obtained through achievements in the Sekiro world. Its original function was to summon souls for conversation, a bit like the DND's talk with the dead spell. However, Li You has never actually used it... After all, he is not playing a detective mystery game. It would probably only come in handy if he went to the wizard's world.

However, the system did note that this bell can have different functions in special worlds, so...

Li You held up the small square box with one hand, and injected magic power into the soul-calling bell with the other hand, and shook it gently. As the bell rang, the urn in his hand also lit up slightly, and then a soul light spot appeared in front of him and quickly condensed into five human figures.

"Oh?" V looked over with eyes wide open, and Yuzu and Edge were also attracted.

Those five figures were actually quite familiar to everyone. They were the soldiers of the Fallen Eagle Legion holding large shields that they had just dealt with. Except that their entire bodies were whitish soul color, everything else was exactly the same.

"This is summoning souls." V went up and pinched those souls and found that although they had bodies that were close to physical entities, the feel of touching them was completely different from that of flesh and blood.

V was very satisfied after seeing the "necromancy" he wanted to see, but he immediately asked: "There are other ashes, right?"

"Of course there is. I came to the underground this time just for another set of ashes. I'll show it to you when the time comes." After dealing with V who was acting like a child at this time, Li You said, "Let's go, let's continue going down."

Go down from this square, and there is a boss battle in the game, and the one you have to fight is the Simulated Teardrop. It is also like the ashes we can obtain, and it will copy all the states of the player.

However, defeating it here will not give you the ashes, as the eldest brother's ashes are deeper in Noklongn.

As we walked down the road and through the narrow stairs between the buildings, the main part of the Eternal City of Norklong came closer. Ahead was a large but ruined temple, with a grand stone bridge to Norklong on one side.

"There is a special enemy ahead. From it, we can see the characteristics of the ashes I am looking for. You all wait for a moment. I will go there alone..."

Li You was explaining to his companions the precautions for fighting against the Mimic Tears, but he was suddenly startled, and then turned his head sharply and looked at the bushes under the tree beside him: "Who is there!"

After a brief silence, a figure walked out from behind the tree, followed by a magnetic voice: "...I can also ask the same question, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Seeing the man's posture, his companions were stunned, because although he was wearing armor, carrying a big sword on his shoulder, and wearing a handsome fur cloak, what was on his neck was a completely black wolf head!

"Half-wolf" Blaze!
