Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 559: Laofu Ancient Ruins, Spiral Sword Upgraded
After a short while, Li You finally calmed down.

Although I hate the Horned People from the bottom of my heart, now is not the time to settle these things. Anpahe reminded me in advance for this reason. Besides, if I delay any further, I will have a conflict with Leida and her group.

The most important thing is, according to Melina, there are not many Horned People left now, and it is not easy to find them.

Of course, even so, he still couldn't be lenient. Li You had already made a reservation to go to Bonnie Village.

"...By the way, Meimei, why do you know all this?" After calming down, Li You thought of another question.

Melina just said: "...My mother told me." She refused to say more.

Li You didn't ask any further questions. After all, he and Melina were not that familiar with each other.

"So, what should we do with these wizards?"

There were also witches and pot girls wandering in the hall below. After learning about their experiences, Li You was not sure what to do.

Should we save them? Given their condition, Li You was not sure if there was any way to save them in the cyberpunk world with the most advanced biotechnology he had ever visited, not to mention that he could not bring these people to other worlds.

Even though Aggie has basic medical skills, it is obviously too difficult for her to do this.

"You don't have to worry. They... have almost lost their consciousness and have become something closer to wild beasts. The Messermo army's efforts to save them have obviously failed. So, just let them sleep." Melina remained calm.

Since she said so, Li You naturally no longer hesitated. He sent away all the witches and pot girls as quickly and efficiently as possible, and simply cleaned up their bodies.

Melina prayed silently for them and then disappeared. Li You and his friends did not delay any longer and continued to move forward.

After passing through the buildings here and going forward, we finally arrived at the bridge mentioned by Ampah. The bridge was black in color, just like the color of Shadow City. If we looked down at the bridge, we could only vaguely see a foggy forest and ruins because of the huge height difference.

There are no enemies on this side of the bridge, except for a few large bats occasionally, and there is only a fire knight guarding the end of the bridge.

"Boom boom boom——"

This Fire Knight wore a helmet with an extra large hood, and could release a unique prayer that had never been seen on other Fire Knights before. As he raised his hands, a burning red cloud appeared above Li You and the others' heads, and small fireballs fell like rain!

"Oh? The Star Rain Flame Prayer version?"

Li You immediately saw a familiar flavor in this prayer.

Among the legendary magic of the old man's body, there is one called Star Rain, which is said to be the oldest pyroxene magic. It can summon dark nebulas to rain down magical star rain. In the game, only Teacher Se Lian can use it.

However, the setting of this magic is very high, but the actual performance in the game is very humorous. It can basically be regarded as the worst legendary magic.

The prayer used by the Flame Knight in front of him is obviously the sister version of the Star Rain.

"But games are games, numbers are numbers, there is no such thing as balance in this world."

So Li You did not take it lightly. He directly pulled out the spiral sword and raised it high to the sky.

An invisible field then spread out, covering the group of people, and all the falling fire rain was instantly annihilated and disappeared after entering the field!
Flame Knight: “!?”

Li You grinned at him, and then V and Yuzu behind him rushed out together!
"Shh-"

One of them left an afterimage, and the other dragged an arc of electricity. They flashed past almost instantly, and the two swords, one on the left and one on the right, had swept past the Flame Knight.

Blood suddenly spurted out of the body of the fire knight guarding the gate, and he fell down immediately.

And from him, Li You actually found a prayer scroll called "Rain of Fire".

“It’s really easy to understand.”

In fact, in Li You's opinion, the two spells, Star Rain and Fire Rain, have great potential if their fatal flaws can be solved. So he put the scroll away and planned to study it when he had the chance.

After defeating the enemy, the ancient ruins of Laufer are within sight.

When a group of people climbed up to a higher place with the rumbling elevator and light shone through the gaps in the buildings, it meant that they had arrived at the ancient ruins.

Walking out of the side tower of the viaduct connected to the elevator, the scene before your eyes is completely different from other places in the Shadow Land.

Although dilapidated, the ruins are magnificent in scale and simple in style, scattered across a lush land.

The terrain here is uneven, with hills, pools and waterfalls integrated into one. There are also animals such as jumping rabbits, deer and flying birds. Even the dilapidated ancient buildings are covered with moss, which is green and full of vitality.

However, everything is located on this extremely high ground. If you go to the edge and look down, you will only see terrifying cliffs.

"This is the ancient ruins of Laufer, quite interesting." V looked into the distance, "It's rare to see green in this area. And... that's the spiral tower across the way, right?"

After exiting the side tower of the viaduct, you can see the tower shrouded in black shadows in the distance ahead. It seems to be floating in the air without support, and is even higher than the ancient ruins here.

"It's right there." Li You also looked at the black tower that reached the sky, quite curious.

Edge was very pragmatic: "So, how do we find the Sealed Tree? Our map master?"

Li You glanced at her and said, "Anyway, I'll go check out the terrain here first."

As he said that, he transformed into a dragon man and flew into the sky in an instant.

Flying high in the sky, Li You quickly scanned the surrounding terrain. The structure of the ancient ruins was quite complex. It might be because of the long history and geological changes. Not only the ruins buildings, but also the land blocks here had a lot of fractures, thus forming the intricate terrain of the ancient ruins.

Generally speaking, the Laofu Ancient Ruins are divided into two major areas, the northeastern part where Li You and his team are located, and the southwest part near the spiral tower. Between these two areas is a cliff that is so deep that you can't see the bottom at a glance, and there are only two ancient stone bridges connecting them.

However, like other ancient buildings and plots of land here, the two stone bridges have been broken in the middle.

"...I see. If this were in a game, it would be hard to find the way."

Li You understood this, but unfortunately, he didn't need to go through the complicated maze designed by the old thief, after all, he could fly.

However, Li You actually enjoyed the process of opening up new land and exploring maps, but he did not have such leisurely time now, as he had to find the sealed tree as soon as possible.

Although there was a record of the Sealed Tree in the ancient books found in Ampah, there was no information about its specific location, so they could only search all the way there.

Li You vibrated his dragon wings and flew around the ancient ruins at the fastest speed, observing the area below. Because the ruins were large and the terrain was complex, Li You had to fly as low as possible to avoid missing the target.

"Judging from the direction of the main road, most of them are leading to the Spiral Tower... Could the Sealed Tree be over there?"

After circling the area twice, Li You had an idea in his mind. He told his companions and then flew to another area in the southwest, intending to explore the way first.

However, just as he flew over the broken bridge, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and immediately flew sideways to avoid it!

"call out--"

A golem arrow as big as a siege crossbow, wrapped in a storm, flew past his previous position, and the storm on the arrowhead almost brushed Li You's arm.

Li You turned his head and saw a black stone golem holding a large bow standing on the platform of the broken bridge below! The sniper just now was it. At this moment, the golem was bending the bow and drawing an arrow, and was about to shoot a second arrow.

"There are these golems here too... so what!"

Li You's figure suddenly flashed, avoiding the second arrow that was flying towards him, then he raised the spiral sword, ready to rush over to deal with the golem.

"Just an antique golem..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw two more people standing on the platform around the black stone golem, holding bows and aiming at him. Li You: "…………Can you at least wait for me to insert the flag before you come?"

Of course, the Black Stone Golems would not care about his feelings. The three golems had already pulled their bows together and shot out storm arrows one after another!

The firepower of three golems is completely different from that of one, so Li You had to flap his wings to dodge quickly.

However, at this moment, a spiral fire storm suddenly swept towards Li You from another direction!

Li You: "!!"

Fortunately, the attack here did not coordinate well with the previous big bow golem. Li You seized the momentary gap, flew in a large arc, and avoided the attack.

But when he looked over there, he discovered that a huge black shadow rose from the pool at the end of the other stone bridge. It turned out to be another furnace golem standing up!
The furnace golem bent slightly and pointed its head towards Li You. Then the flames in its body began to spin and it spewed out violent spirals of flames again, rolling towards Li You!

Li You: “Tsk!”

"The Wicker Man, at this very moment..."

The Furnace Golem is no longer a troublesome enemy to him now, and the Spiral Sword is a natural weapon to defeat these big guys.

However, Li You also admitted that the fireballs that the Burning Golem was tracking were very troublesome, and the current spiral firestorm was the same. This kind of attack had a large range, fast speed, and wide spread. If you didn't use the flame field, it would not be easy to dodge.

Unfortunately, the Spiral Sword's flame field currently has a fatal weakness: after the field is opened, the core of the field, the Spiral Sword, cannot be removed, otherwise the field will be lifted.

The fire field can of course be opened in mid-air, but in this way, it would be difficult for Li You to dodge the storm arrows from the black stone golem next to him.

Facing the pincer attack from the two golems, Li You made a decision in a flash. He temporarily gave up the attack, flew backwards quickly, avoided the subsequent storm arrows and the incoming vortex of fire, and distanced himself in one breath.

After flying out of the golems' search range, Li You glanced at the land mass in the southwest and grinned: "With so many guards here, it seems there's no escape. The Sealed Tree must be over there!"

The four wings behind him spread out again, and Li You turned into a shadow and flew towards the location of his companions.

……

"There are four golems blocking the way?"

After listening to Li You's explanation, Youzi and the others understood the situation. V said, "So the air defense here is quite strong. It's not easy to get over there."

"It's not that difficult to just get through, or just walk over it on the ground, we shouldn't be trapped. The problem is that we still have to race with Leida." Li You changed back to human form and shook his hands, "The key is to find the Sealed Tree. We can't delay."

"Then let's smash all those golems." On this point, Edge and V came up with the same idea tacitly. "Li You, go deal with the Furnace Golem, and leave the Blackstone Golem to us."

"Okay." Li You certainly wouldn't object. "Those black stone golems aren't equipped with halberds for close combat. You can pay attention to that."

"But then again, Mr. Messermo really likes things like the Furnace Golem." V made some simple preparations while complaining, "Although it's gratifying that he burned Horned People, I still doubt that he has any special fetishes, right?"

Li You: "...What are you thinking about?"

On his wrist, the mark left by Melina flickered slightly.

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!"

——The middle section of the ancient ruins of Laufer.

After Li You escaped, one furnace golem and three black stone golems lost their target and entered power saving mode again, standing motionless in the same place.

In fact, Li You's problem just now was indeed the route he flew. In order to go faster, he flew between two ancient stone bridges. As a result, he was attacked by golems near both bridges at the same time.

This time, he and his companions split into two groups, kept a distance from each other, and moved towards their respective goals.

As for Yuzu, he still transformed into a wooden dragon, carrying Edge and V, but he did not fly into the sky. Instead, he changed the color of his body, becoming like a tree trunk, and blending into the vegetation on the broken bridge.

The three black stone golems were already in power saving mode, and Yuzu's camouflage even concealed her aura, so they didn't notice at all.

As for Li You, although he had cast invisibility magic on himself, the Furnace Golem's perception was still as sensitive as ever. It sensed his approach from quite a distance away, and then immediately bent down and erupted with a spiral fire storm once again!
"You alone are not enough!"

But this time, without the black stone golem with a longbow next to him to restrain him, Li Youlong easily avoided the fire storm after transforming into a human, and changed direction to accelerate towards it.

Facing the Furnace Golem that was planning to track the fireball, he quickly flew to its head, shouted, and threw the Spiral Sword again!
On Youzi's side, Li You's early exposure surprised them a little, but the three of them also believed in Li You's strength, so they would not lose their composure.

Yuzu continued to camouflage and sneak, but the Black Stone Golem's enemy-seeking radar was obviously much worse than that of the Furnace Golem. It was not until Yuzu and the others were almost sticking to the face of the first one that they finally discovered something.

"Roar--!!"

But it was too late, Yuzu swooped forward swiftly, slamming the nearest black stone golem to the ground, breaking its great bow and destroying its body.

The other two raised their bows to provide support, but then they saw several black rocket launchers flying towards their heads and chests!
"Boom--!!"

The explosion caused a large amount of fire and smoke, and also caused some damage to the outer shells of the two golems, but it was still too early to scrap them.

But V's purpose was not to destroy, but to delay. The rockets she fired this time would emit a large amount of magical smoke, enough to disrupt the perception of the two golems.

"They're confused, fire a few more shots!"

In the thick smoke that made it impossible to distinguish friend from foe, Edge's voice sounded at the right time, providing instructions to V: "Follow the location I marked for you!"

"No problem!" V picked up the rocket launcher.

"Boom boom——"

Under the continuous bombardment of the two, the two Black Stone Golems were unable to sense the enemy, and their companions were nearby, preventing them from shooting indiscriminately.

In the short time that their programs were confused, Yuzu had already dismantled the first golem into pieces.

After a brief communication with Edge and V, Yuzu immediately rushed to the second stage!
——With the cooperation of the three, the three black stone golems here soon turned into parts all over the ground. The only intact thing was their magic furnace, which was what Li You specifically asked to preserve.

At this time, at the end of another bridge, Li You had just pulled the spiral sword out of the body of the Burning Golem whose flames had gone out. The flames of this Burning Golem also became the fuel for the spiral sword.

However, even so, the Spiral Sword's fire level has not increased.

"But Four has no Kansai!"

Li You flapped his wings, crossed the cliff, and came to the side of Youzi and the other two. Youzi had already collected the three magic furnaces and placed them in front of him.

"They're all here."

"very good!"

Li You regained his human form, then raised the spiral sword and stabbed at the three magic furnaces!

After the spiral sword sucked all the energy out of each magic furnace, it would explode like dry and cracked rocks. After the third magic furnace exploded with a "bang", the flames on the spiral sword finally jumped and became more vigorous!

Li You couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face: "It's promoted, it's promoted!"
