Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 544: Shadow City Main Gate

From the exit of Ensis City, there is a vast field, which is not much smaller than the previous cemetery plain. It is also well connected and you can tell at a glance that it connects several areas.

If it was in the game, Li You would definitely explore around first to find the entrances to each area. But this time was different after all, he finally got the exact clue of Kara's location, and didn't want to waste any time at all, and went straight to the towering city in front of the avenue.

He asked Leida, and Leida said that she wanted to stay there and wait for other companions to arrive, so she let Li You go first.

So this time Li You rode on Nazaré himself, and let Youzi and the other two ride on Merrimac behind him. They crossed the road between the reeds, knocked down the Black Iron Knights who were patrolling on horseback, and rushed to their destination as quickly as possible.

——Soon, outside the military camp in front of Shadow City.

Compared to the city of Ensis, this seems to be the base camp of the Messermo army. The endless military camps not only occupy the large plain in front of the Shadow City, but also cover the hills on both sides.

Li You estimated that the scale of the military camp in the game must not be so large, but what appeared before his eyes was a black ocean anyway.

Inside and outside the military camp, there were a large number of soldiers and Black Iron Knights walking around. Li You looked at the hill next to him and saw the figures of the army's strongest assistants - the perfumers.

"...We can't just force our way in." Li You's eyebrows moved slightly as he thought about how to deal with the situation.

These military camps scattered all over the mountains would be fine if they were just for ordinary people, but the soldiers inside have impressive combat capabilities.

Li You and others had seen it before. Even the most ordinary soldiers had the ability to use strange flames to attack. The flames would not only explode, but also chase the enemy. It was very rare.

Although the most common Messermo soldiers were able to use fire, they relied more on props, but that was also part of their strength. How could it not be a reflection of the army's strength to be able to distribute consumable enchanted props to low-level soldiers?

So Li You would not look down on him at all.

"Messermo's fire? It's definitely different from ordinary fire."

Li You rode Nazare and stopped on a slightly higher hill. He took out a pair of binoculars and observed the movements of the military camp.

Soon, Merrimack also stopped not far behind him, and his companions got out of the car and came to his side: "Have you figured out how to get in?"

Li You put down the telescope and said, "Looking at the situation, forcing in is the worst option. Forget about the army, there is also a furnace golem over there. So let's sneak in... You guys go back and rest first? Wait for my news."

Yuzu and Edge didn't have any objections, but V looked at Li You and said, "When you sneak in, remember to let us out quickly. Don't let me know that you went in alone."

Li You: “…OK.”

V took one last look at him, then, together with Yuzu and Edge, stood on the teleportation circle summoned by Li You and returned to the companion space.

Li You also breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the Crystal Holy Bell.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as the three returned to the companion space, V grabbed Edge and said, "Edge, tell me more about that man."

Aiji's face was filled with anticipation for the upcoming gossip, and he could hardly hold back his smile: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything I know."

--outside world.

Li You, who had equipped himself with the magic of invisibility, the Moon-Hidden Spirit, and a camouflage cloak, was walking cautiously along the edge of the military camp towards the Shadow City.

Magic and seances both cause invisibility and can be stacked. As for the camouflage cloak, its effect can basically be regarded as the "invisibility veil" amulet of the magic circle.

Of course, Li You also cast the "spy" magic that eliminates sound on himself, basically making it so that he would not be discovered at all from the outside.

But his set of BUFF stacking is not perfect. Apart from anything else, if Aggie comes, she will be able to find Li You in a hidden state, because these magics cannot completely hide his life and magic aura.

That was why Li You moved cautiously along the edge of the military camp.

But he was not really worried in his heart. Even if his own aura was not completely concealed, it was unlikely that the people in this military camp would be so sensitive as to detect his presence.

"Can you find me with my quadruple buff? If you can find me, I..."

"boom--"

Before Li You could figure out what to bet on, he heard a burst of flames. Flames rose from the furnace golem in the center of the military camp, and the side decorated with a mask turned towards him!
Li You: “???”

"This hot pot golem can't sense me, right?"

Surprised, Li You immediately stopped his actions, lowered his body, and tried his best to restrain his magic power.

After the furnace golem turned towards Li You, it did not make any further moves, but the flames in its body continued to rise, ready to go. It remained like this, and Li You could only accompany it, playing the wooden man and not letting it move.

But the problem is that the wicker man is just a man-made golem. It can take as long as it wants, but Li You can't do that. Moreover, after the furnace golem reacted, the knights and soldiers in the barracks also noticed the abnormality and sent people to check it out.

"……whispering sound!"

When a Black Iron Knight holding a sledgehammer and a large shield led a small team of soldiers to Li You's vicinity and began to search carefully inch by inch, Li You finally gave up his last bit of hope.

"In this case, we have no choice but to take action!"

The spiral sword appeared in Li You's hand. He restrained himself for the time being. When the search team was almost next to him, the magic power and divine power that had been suppressed in his body for a long time suddenly burst out!

"boom--!!"

A blazing fire wind swept over, the storm mixed with flames, engulfing all the surrounding Messermo soldiers. Even the Black Iron Knight was attacked by the fire wind, roaring in pain and retreating repeatedly.

And this was just the instantaneous explosion when Li You transformed. He turned into a dragon man and soared into the sky!
Li You still remembered the first furnace golem he had dealt with before, and he also knew that their weakness should be the flames burning in their wicker basket-like bodies. So he immediately wanted to imitate the last time and pierce the torso of the furnace golem with the spiral gun, relying on the flames in the gun to interfere with and suppress the golem's fire, so as to easily suppress it.

However, just as he flew into the sky, he saw the flames in the trunk of the Furnace Golem suddenly erupted, and huge fireballs erupted, and then, as if with a spirit, they tracked towards Li You!

Li You: "!!"

He had seen this flame with tracking ability not long ago. It was the same characteristic of the fire used by the Messermo soldiers, and the Furnace Golem seemed to have the same ability.

The fireballs that erupted were flying all over the sky like a flaming meteor shower, and they were chasing him one after another. Even though Li You had a high resistance to fire when he was a dragon man, he didn't want to be touched by this obviously weird fireball.

So he didn't have time to throw the spiral gun. He flapped his four wings and began to fly in a big circle around the Furnace Golem, leaving all the fireballs that were chasing him behind.

The fireballs from the Furnace Golem lasted for quite a while before stopping, and Li You dodged them in a very dangerous way. Although the fireballs would explode on their own after flying a certain distance, their strong tracking ability was still very threatening.

Moreover, in the military camp on the ground, some Black Iron Knights were also drawing their bows and shooting arrows at him in the air. Li You obviously did not intend to be hit by the arrows and had to dodge them. Li You flew around the Burning Furnace Golem three times before finally avoiding the last fireball. However, the Burning Furnace Golem was not going to give him any rest time. Its body was shaking slightly and it was about to erupt a second rain of fireballs!
“——That’s enough!”

Li You roared angrily and stopped dodging. He took advantage of the brief moment when the Furnace Golem had not yet finished accumulating power and threw out the spiral gun!

"boom--!!"

The spiral gun turned into a red light, piercing through the flames burning inside the furnace golem and piercing into the center of its body. Just like the previous golem, this golem also began to move randomly due to the interference of the spiral gun.

Because it was located in the military camp, the chaos at this time directly caused a catastrophe for the ordinary soldiers at its feet. In the flames created by the furnace golem, the Messermo soldiers wailed as they were burned to death and fell down.

"Shhhh-"

On the hill a little further away, the Black Iron Knights were not affected, and they continued to shoot at Li You with their bows. However, Li You was free now, so he was not afraid of them. He grabbed all the flying arrows in his hands, and then squeezed them, and his own dragon flames rose from the arrows.

Li You then aimed at the mask of the Furnace Golem and threw the burning arrows in his hand like short spears one by one!

"boom--!!"

Balls of flames exploded on the Furnace Golem's mask, cracking the hard mask. Li You let out a final long howl, and turned into a meteor of fire, crashing into the Furnace Mask!

"Boom--!!"

In the violent explosion, the mask of the furnace golem was completely shattered. Li You certainly learned from his previous experience. At the same time, the flames in the golem's body were completely suppressed and swallowed by the spiral sword.

The huge furnace golem suddenly lost all its power. Its arms, which had been raised, dropped down and swayed slightly, and its entire body fell down with a bang!

"Boom-"

A dull sound echoed, mixed with the screams of the soldiers. When the furnace golem fell, it was unknown how many of its own people were crushed to death.

Even the powerful and quick-reacting Black Iron Knights did not have time to organize an evacuation, and it was even more difficult to control the situation at this time. They could only shout at the top of their lungs and try to gather their subordinates. Chaos suddenly broke out inside and outside the military camp.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li You had already retracted the spiral gun, crossed the military camp area, and got on the elevator leading to the interior of Shadow City.

However, even though he, the culprit, had left, the chaos and noise here still attracted quite a lot of attention.

On a hill farther outside the city, Dann, who worked hard without complaint, arrived quickly and just happened to see the Furnace Golem fall down, and also witnessed the chaos in the military camp.

And at the deeper and higher edge of Shadow City, a figure covered in a black robe was standing on the edge of the terrace, looking at the fallen Furnace Golem from afar.

"That hotpot guy was knocked down? That's a bit surprising. I wonder who did it." The man muttered to himself, "Should we go back and take a look?"

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Since we have defeated the golem, it should be heading towards Shadow City. We will run into it eventually."

"I'd better focus on the mission. This is all for Lady Mikaela... Lady Mikaela?"

The figure was stunned for a moment, then repeated it somewhat inexplicably: "...Yes, for Lady Michaela."

Then, the figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

——The main gate of Shadow City.

After reaching the top in the wide wooden elevator, Li You walked down from the elevator. In front of him was an open square. At the end of the square was a statue of Queen Marika with her arms open to embrace all living beings, but the head of the statue was missing.

There are high walls on both sides of the main entrance square, and the walls are filled with weapon racks of various sizes. You can also see that each of them has a closed door.

Although the square is wide, there is some water accumulation and the ground is uneven, as if it has been in disrepair for a long time, or has been cracked by being stepped on by something heavy.

Li You stepped into the square and looked around: "This place is so open, it looks like there will be a boss battle..."

"Boom boom boom!!"

Before he could finish his words, in the corner on the right side of the square in front of him, an object that Li You originally thought was a pile of dirt suddenly emerged from the ground with a vibration. It turned out to be a huge beast that poked its head out!

The giant beast looked like a combination of a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus, with a short, thick horn on the tip of its nose, a hippopotamus mouth, and its body covered with white fur.

After it emerged from the ground, it roared, took a step, opened its mouth wide, and pounced on Li You! A disgusting stench emanated from its big mouth, and it seemed as if it wanted to swallow Li You whole!

Li You was annoyed: "Today is the day to plant a flag no matter what I say, right? Are you really going to assign a BOSS to me?"

He quickly stepped forward to create some distance, avoiding the attack of the white-skinned hippopotamus. Then he drew out the Blood Immortal Sword and slashed it at the hippopotamus's tail.

"Pfft-"

The hippo's long tail broke off with a sound, but unfortunately nothing fell off the tail. Instead, it stimulated the beast to become violent.

It first slammed headfirst into the wall on one side of the square, then turned around in great anger, roared and rushed towards Li You again, biting down with all its might with its big mouth full of jagged fangs!

However, Li You did not dodge or evade, but just stood there waiting.

“Ah ...

The hippopotamus bit down without hesitation, but it bit nothing. However, its not-so-smart brain did not notice anything wrong at the first time, and it even chewed it in its mouth before realizing that Li You had run away.

The hippo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but become even angrier, and roared again!

"Why are you yelling so loudly? Do you know that you are disturbing others?"

An angry shout came from above his head. The hippopotamus barely raised his head and saw that Li You had changed his posture and was floating in the air.

Li You, who had transformed into a dragon man, stretched out his hand and gently wiped the Blood Immortal Slash, and the blood blade became more and more hideous and terrifying.

He then pointed the knife at the hippopotamus and said: "I don't have time to play bullfighting with you, so I'll just slice you up!"

As he spoke, Li You's figure suddenly turned into red light and stabbed towards the hippopotamus!
