Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 534: Golden Needle Knight, Leida!
Underworld, on the banks of the Shivra River.

On the edge of the cliff under the illumination of the false starry sky, many plants unique to the underground were swaying gently. The souls of the ancestors with blue translucent bodies were scattered everywhere, either patrolling or chanting prayers.

Suddenly, a patrolling ancestral spirit discovered something, looked up, and saw a strange rectangular shape that had never appeared in their memory floating in the air, with blue fire spewing from its tail. It passed over everyone's heads and flew into the distance.

“Uuuuuu, ahwuuuu!!”

The ancestral man shouted and pointed at the "box" in the air, but by the time his companions gathered, it had already flown away.

It was naturally Li You's hovercraft. The target of the hovercraft was the tall temple on the top of the distant cliff, which was separated by the bottomless cliff and could only be seen from afar.

That is the Mongwen Dynasty Temple, the lair of the Blood King Mung, and the boudoir where he and the god-man Michaela "spent the night together".

In other words, in the game, that is the final BOSS battlefield of Blood Dynasty. Of course, it is impossible to fly directly from the Shivla River in the game, you have to go around a big circle.

When he arrives at the Dynasty Temple in front, he will face the Bloody King Mung, who is also the real demigod that Li You will face.

Monger is not as weak as Greg and is not an enemy that can be easily dealt with. However, Li You has no intention of rushing in to fight him. He is not the mute protagonist of the Souls series who just attacks anyone he sees.

His purpose was just to find Michaela... Of course, this was actually the same as kicking Monger's bedroom door directly. However, he planned to observe the situation nearby first before deciding whether to kick the door.

So when the hovercraft approached the tall temple, Li You gave the instruction: "Turn on the optical camouflage."

The cyborg puppet in charge of driving immediately executed the order. After a faint dazzling light flashed on the outer layer of the hovercraft, the entire body of the vehicle blended into the background of the starry night sky.

Then they flew over their destination.

From this angle, you can clearly see the building below. It is an open, uncapped, majestic temple. The thick stone pillars give it a feel of ancient Greek architecture. The huge stone statues of sages lined up on the top of both sides of the temple also add to the solemnity.

However, inside the temple, there were many places on the ground and stone pillars where golden-red blood flames were burning. Those blood flames climbed up the towering stone pillars, making the face of the sage's stone statue look somewhat evil.

And at the deepest part of the temple, at the top of the wide stairs, there is a huge cocoon covered with fluff, emitting an inexplicable fluctuation.

Without Edge's perception, Li You could clearly see that a crack had appeared on the front of the giant cocoon below, and a thick but dry arm stretched out from it and hung down weakly. Strands of blood continued to overflow from the cocoon, dripping down the dry arm to the ground, forming a small puddle of water.

That arm belongs to the god-man Mikaela, and in the game, the Blood King Mung emerged from this pool of blood.

So it is not difficult to guess that before the player Fader arrived, he should have been busy with Michaela...

Li You was familiar with all of this, but the problem was that he did not feel any special power fluctuations from the pool of blood. The Blood King... was not in it.

Or rather, judging from the mess on the ground in the temple, the Blood King Mung has probably been defeated.

Did another demigod fall underground without being noticed?

And more importantly, everyone saw that at this moment there was a knight in a white cloak standing quietly in front of the giant cocoon.

"Li You, that man's cloak, is it..." V turned his head and asked.

Of course, Li You did not miss this point and nodded: "Ah, that's it - the golden interlaced tree."

"Then let's..."

Before he could finish his words, the knight below suddenly raised his head!
The man looked up into the sky. Although he was wearing a helmet, his sharp gaze, like a piercing needle, was still clearly felt by everyone.

Everyone stopped talking, and even the hovercraft froze in mid-air. After a while, the knight finally lowered his head again.

The companions also breathed a sigh of relief, and then switched to a mental link to talk: "What should we do now? Capture the person?"

Li You thought for a moment and said, "No. We will land in front, take the right path, and then try to make contact with this person."

At this point, Li You naturally had some guesses. The people and things he was seeing now were probably the characters and events related to the DLC plot content that he was unable to play.

Before the release of the DLC of The Circle of Fame, many environmentalists had speculated that Michaela's cocoon would be the entrance to the DLC, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

But Li You was not concerned about that. He was only concerned about where Kara was going and what the relationship was between her and the knight below.

Following Li You's instructions, the hovercraft landed in the middle of the Dynasty Temple. The group got off the car one by one and made all preparations.

There should have been a large group of enemies in front of the Dynasty Temple, including a Blood Noble and a large number of Platinum Sons who had defected to the Blood King, but now there were only corpses on the ground.

Li You didn't waste any time here. He directly lowered the huge stone elevator in front of him. After taking it, he returned to the top of the Dynasty Temple and came to the cocoon where the god fell asleep.

The knight seen before also turned around and looked at Li You and his group.

At this distance, Li You finally saw clearly that the knight was wearing a set of fine black armor with a little gold decoration on it. The shape of the helmet also made Li You feel somewhat familiar.

Over the black armor, he wore a snow-white cloak and a tubular coat embroidered with golden interlaced trees, and around his waist hung a gorgeous and light golden sword - everything matched the descriptions of Blaze, Iggy, and Baizhi.

A Golden Needle Knight who serves the god-man Mikaela.

The knight looked at Li You and his companions, but he showed no hostility. Instead, he asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

Hearing this voice, Li You was a little surprised - this knight was actually a woman? She was wearing full body armor, and Li You had never noticed it before.

At this moment, Li You's mind was racing as he thought about various possibilities, but he didn't speak immediately.

However, after just a moment's hesitation, he saw the female knight in front of him grasping the hilt of the sword at her waist.

The atmosphere immediately became tense, and a chill emanated from the female knight.

But at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise outside the temple, and the elevator that Li You and others had taken before rose up again, attracting everyone's attention.

Then, three or four blood nobles, along with two white battlefield doctors, rushed into the temple from the entrance!

This group of people were filled with murderous intent. When they saw Li You and the female knight standing in front of the cocoon where the god fell asleep, they immediately rushed up with roars!

"The remnants of the Blood Dynasty?"

Seeing this, the female knight immediately drew out the golden sword from her waist. She ignored Li You and the others, only gave them a warning look, and then headed towards the group.

The Blood Nobles and the White Doctors on the battlefield can both be considered the privileged class of the Blood Dynasty, and they are definitely not easy to deal with. In the game, the Blood Nobles alone are considered a small elite monster. However, the female knight's snow-white cloak fluttered behind her, and she rushed forward alone without hesitation.

When she was still some distance away from the other party, she raised her left hand, and the holy seal in her hand emitted light, and then a golden halo was emitted by her!

The golden halo rotated and cut towards the enemy formation. Its power was quite exaggerated. The blood noble who was hit first was cut in half after he hit the halo head-on!

And the halo did not even disappear, but continued to stagnate in mid-air, spinning, forcing the blood nobles who came later to take a detour and reduce their sprint speed sharply.

But at the same time, the female knight had already raised the golden sword in her hand!

The surging magic power was injected into the sword body, and the slender sword lit up. More than ten golden flying swords appeared out of thin air and surrounded the second blood noble.

As the female knight swung her sword downwards, a large number of golden flying swords immediately pierced the second blood noble!

Not only Yuzu and the others, even Li You were a little surprised: "This one... is really strong!"

He could easily kill two blood nobles in succession before the opponents even reached the melee range. With such strength, it is no wonder that he could suppress Blaze.

There were only two blood nobles left, but there were still two white battlefield doctors. They fell behind and had already started releasing blood flies. Under their guidance, swarms of bloodthirsty flies attacked the female knight.

The female knight did not panic. She raised her hand again and released another small golden halo. The casting distance of the halo was quite long and the speed was very fast. Before the two battlefield white-masked men could react, it had already cut into their faces!
"Pfft-"

Blood splattered, and the aura with strong holy power easily cut the necks of the two white battlefield doctors. They covered their necks and knelt on the ground, dying in pain.

However, due to this delay, the remaining two blood nobles also rushed to the front of the female knight. They raised the heavy and gorgeous heavy rapiers in their hands and attacked the female knight together!

But at this moment, the golden sword in her hand finally moved!
The female knight stepped forward and attacked, swinging the greatsword in her hand deftly and swiftly, faster than the opponent's stabbing sword, cutting through their attack path, and the sharp sword tore the flesh of the two men!
All this happened in a flash. In the blink of an eye, the female knight had passed the two blood nobles and gracefully put away the golden sword.

As for the two nobles, their bodies immediately cracked and fell to the ground, turning into corpses.

V quietly asked Li You in the mental link: "What do you think of her swordsmanship and movements?"

Li You replied seriously: "My swordsmanship is probably not inferior to mine, and my speed is comparable to your Sian Weston. I'm afraid I'm not using my full strength yet."

V also admitted: "This guy is not easy to deal with."

In front, the female knight walked back without hesitation. The team of elite soldiers she had just killed seemed to be just a group of roadside pawns to her.

but……

"boom--!!"

A gunshot was heard, and then a bullet infused with magic power almost passed by the female knight's helmet and hit the second blood noble who stood up silently behind her.

The blood noble was pierced by the golden flying sword, but he did not die. Instead, he was waiting for an opportunity. However, he was shot in the head by Li You.

"You missed one." Li Youyao said to the female knight.

The female knight also looked back at the fallen blood noble, remained silent for a moment, then slightly quickened her pace, came to Li You, and asked again: "...Who are you?"

Li You had already thought it through, so he spoke in a deep voice: "We are here to pursue... the god-man Michaela."

After hearing this, the knight was silent for a moment before he said, "...Really?"

Li You was keenly aware that although she was still looking at him and his group, her attitude had changed. So Li You knew that he was right.

According to the convention of Souls series DLC, no matter whether this female knight will be the enemy of the protagonist Fader in the end, at least she should not be hostile to him now.

In addition, Li You knew her background from Baizhi in advance, so he only needed to make the explanation a little vague and he should be able to get away with it.

Sure enough, the knight hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's right. You must have been guided by Lady Michaela to arrive here at this time. Thank you for your help just now. I'm sorry, I almost thought you were an enemy."

The female knight stood up straight and said seriously, "My name is Leida. Like you, I followed the guidance and pursued that lord."

"Since you came here because you felt guided by Mistress Michaela, then this is what Mistress expected of you. You are our companion - this is true for all of you."

Leida said, and then gestured to everyone: "Then what you have to do next is to touch the withered arm. After that, you will also be guided to the shadowy land where Master Michaela is."

The Land of Shadows?

Li You's heart moved. That was a brand new area he had never heard of. It seemed to be the DLC map.

It turns out to be related to Michaela.

It seems that although he was not able to play the Old Man Ring DLC ​​before traveling through time, he seems to be able to make up for it now.

Leida continued to explain to Li You: "...In the Shadow Land, there are my companions, who are the ones who are guided by Lady Michaela just like us. If you are lucky enough to meet them, I believe they will lend you a helping hand."

Finally, she raised her hand and looked at Li You: "Come on, touch that withered arm and go to the shadow land."

"I still have to wait for my companions to arrive and deal with the attacks of the remnants of the Blood Dynasty. After I finish this, I will go there too. See you then."

When Li You heard her mention "companions", he was also moved, but he did not ask immediately.

Although the female knight named Leida seemed very friendly at the moment, Li You would never forget her coldness when she first met him and her ruthlessness in battle.

Li You was sure that this woman was definitely not a kind or easy-going person.

Therefore, he was cautious and did not ask about Kara immediately. Otherwise, if something unexpected happened, it would be a bad ending.

So Li You didn't show any strange expression on his face. He listened to her quietly and nodded: "So, as long as we touch this arm, we can go to where Lady Michaela is, right? Then let's set off immediately!"

Leida seemed satisfied with his momentum and nodded: "Go ahead, and have a good trip. I have a feeling that you will become a partner we can rely on."

Li You also smiled: "Yes, I also have a hunch that I will gain something in that 'Shadow Land'."
