Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

On this day, the originally peaceful immortal settlement was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown weirdos.

"Uh-huh!"

"Boom——!!"

In order to resist the intruders, the instructor from the Deep Church, who was leading the simple villagers to hold an open-air bonfire party, resolutely opened his arms and rushed towards them with his body ablaze!

"I'll clean the bastard's curse~"

“Gah——!!”

The villagers who were deeply touched by their mentor's sacrifice did not choose to escape. Instead, in order to protect their homeland, they rushed forward together and fought with the intruders!

But opposite them, the leader of the invaders just raised his knife and pointed this way: "Kill them all."

"Okay!"

"Ouch——!!"

The intruders also rushed out suddenly!

"Wha—!"

After a while, there was only one body left at the campfire meeting site.

The extremely vicious leader of the invaders picked up the light ball wrapped around the ownerless soul from the remains of the mentor.

An evil smile appeared on his face: "Go on, there's the next one!"

…

Deeper into the undead settlement, at the end of the dilapidated stone bridge.

In order to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, the villagers arranged a large number of wooden barrels here, stuffed with all the gunpowder that could be found in the village.

The villagers with important responsibilities stood on the simple watchtower behind the bridge end, throwing homemade improvised explosives-flame pots at the enemies to stop their advance.

But today.

"Bang——! Bang——!!"

Gunshots echoed one after another. Under the repeated blows of the extremely terrifying weapons in the hands of the invaders, these villagers who were determined to defend their homeland fell one after another.

The intruder even detonated the gunpowder barrel in reverse, blowing up the strong man who was guarding the gate here and one of the few in the village into a corpse.

Ruins everywhere.

Soon, the corner of the watchtower.

The haggard old man who was locked in a cage looked at the murderous group of people in front of him and was speechless: "...Oh, you are..."

A strong hand directly pulled open the steel cage: "Come out!"

…

Continuing down the watchtower is the main road in the village, which leads to the most important building in the village, the simple church dedicated to the sacred tree.

Another instructor is patrolling this avenue with volunteer villagers and their guard dogs.

Protecting the sacred tree is their main purpose, because the sacred tree carries the curse of the villagers and is the key to maintaining the existence of the undead settlement.

But today.

"Shua——"

"Zila——!!"

"boom--!!"

There was a continuous sound of knives, electricity, and explosions, and the villagers and the cute white puppy were all killed and blown away.

The instructor who led the team was also filled with grief and anger. He once again shouted the heroic line "Poor child, come to me", and with his body covered in flames, he rushed towards the intruder!

It had no effect. The man's sword flashed, and the last mentor fell down.

Then, the group of people came to the door of the Holy Tree Church along the road. The leader of the intruder pushed the closed thick wooden door.

"Can't open it from this side? Just rest!"

He was extremely cruel and kicked him!

"Crack——!"

The heavy old wooden door shattered!

…

Inside a simple church dedicated to the sacred tree.

The building is tall and spacious, but that's about it.

In the center is a flat and open field, surrounded by high walls, and a large tree with a vague human shape is pondering against the wall in a corner of the field.

A sparse group of villagers gathered around the big tree, kneeling and praying.

"...That's it, the cursed tree."

Looking at the tree, Li You also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally arrived!

Although he came to the third world of souls as if he were going home, speedrunning all the way was also very hard, right?

Fortunately, the fiery fat tutor aunt and the hospitable villagers gave him a warm welcome, which made him feel a little comfort on the boring express road.

Sure enough it has to taste like this!

He turned around and looked at the villagers lying on the steps outside the broken door, the living corpse dog, and the body of the fat aunt and mentor, and nodded slightly.

Thank you! It made me feel the warmth of returning to the village again!

Li You silently bowed his head to greet them for a moment.

Seeing his inexplicable movements, Aggie and V looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

It's okay, this person is just generating electricity again.

"...Okay, no more wasting time."

Li You then turned around and pulled out the knife.

"Let's go, it's time to chop down the tree!"

Of course, although he was very excited, he did not forget to tell his companions how to deal with it.

"...This cursed tree was originally the sacred tree of the undead settlement. Its function is to absorb curses and resolve filth."

As Li You said this, he took out handfuls of God's Flying Snow from his backpack and distributed them to Aiji and V.

"It's easy to guess what happened next. The sacred tree absorbed too many curses and mutated. After all, even a tree can't just eat it, right?"

After using the flying snow of God, he adjusted his ninja tool again and switched to the fire blower.

"So the cursed tree has become like this. I won't talk about growing into a human form. Do you see those egg-like pustules on its body? That is the product of the curse, and also its weakness. We will aim at these eggs in a while.

"Also remember, this thing is basically only afraid of fire, and other attacks are not effective. And don't hit anything other than the eggs, it won't work."

Aiji and V nodded after listening.

They have long been accustomed to Li You's foresight, and they didn't ask him how he knew these things.

Yuzu on the side was ready, and Li You patted him on the shoulder: "How is the recovery?"

Yuzu nodded and said: "Weakness... is over!"

"Very good! "

Li You was also very satisfied.

Whether it was the first generation of Lordran or the third generation of Lothric and its surroundings, the time in the soul world seemed chaotic.

The group had been in this world for a long time, but the tilted sun in the sky had hardly moved, and time seemed to be still.

But fortunately, Yuzu's recovery depends on his own biological clock, so it has no effect. At this time, his previous weak state has ended.

Although in the world of biochemistry and extinction, even if Yuzu is temporarily weak, the impact is not great, but in the dark soul, this is a lack of combat power, and must be cautious.

But now, Yuzu has recovered.

Li You nodded to him: "Tyrant form!"

"Ah——! ! "

Yuzu took off the gas mask, tore off his clothes, and his whole body quickly expanded to more than three meters high!

He took the broken naginata from Li You, and the dark red biomass wrapped around it, making it more handy.

"Ready, all right!"

Li You also drew his knife: "Go! "

A group of people rushed into the open space where the big tree was. A villager who heard the noise looked back, but was immediately stepped into the ground by Youzi!

"Roar--! !"

The other villagers responded and turned back, but it was too late. Li You had already led people to kill the big tree!

With a tremor that shook the ground, the Cursed Tree slowly turned around.

The tree was quite large, at least more than 20 meters high from the root to the crown.

Its trunk swelled and became similar to a fat body, with dry and slender arms and legs on both sides, no head, and extended dry branches on the body.

The Cursed Tree was dark green all over, with dry bark all over the body. There were no leaves on the branches extending from the top, but pus bags hung on them, which contained the dry corpses of zombies.

Of course, we can't forget that if the Cursed Tree is regarded as a human form, then the large number of white pus bags growing between its legs are its of eggs——this is also the tree's weakness.

There are also a small number of eggs on its legs, arms, and back, but they are not as concentrated as between the legs.

It is because of this very worthy of complaints that it is called the egg-left tree.

The cursed tree is obviously unconscious and is purely driven by the curse accumulated in its body. So Li You didn't bother with it. As soon as the tree moved its legs and turned around, he flashed through the tree's legs, raised his hand, and the purple-red flame sprayed out!

"Whoosh--"

The glazed fire burned the tree's eggs. The flame with both burning and purification characteristics caused great damage to the tree. The flame almost pounced on it, and the tree's eggs burst one by one!

"Puff puff puff--"

"Woo woo woo--! "

The cursed tree whimpered like an echo in the valley, and trembled all over. Before it could move, it fell on its back powerlessly.

At the same time, Yuzu and others had already taken action!

Aige and V scattered the God's Snow, and purple flames were wrapped around their weapons. Although similar, the flames of the God's Snow were different from those used by Li You, and the effect was not as significant.

But when used in conjunction with weapons, the damage was enough.

Aige carried the Black Knight Axe and chopped at the abscesses attached to the tree's left calf and right palm. V jumped up with the help of Yuzu and chopped at the balls of the tree's right elbow.

"Puff——! Puff——!! "

The results of both of them were outstanding, breaking those abscesses easily!

As for Yuzu himself, he cooperated with Li You, spraying flames from his mouth, burning the remaining abscesses on Dashu's legs!

V, who had just landed, took a look and twitched his mouth.

Somehow, this scene reminded her of the guy with a fire in his crotch that she met with Li You before...

Li You certainly didn't know what she was thinking about. He was busy with Yuzu's joint output, and he didn't even use a knife. The blowtorch sprayed flames and quickly burned all of Dashu's eggs!     "Puff——!"

As if it was awakened by severe pain, Dashu trembled and propped up its body. Its slender legs actually supported its body and sat down heavily on the ground!

"Bang——! !"

The brick and stone ground shook violently, followed by a rumbling sound!

Amid the loud shattering sound, the ground under Dashu's feet suddenly collapsed, and everyone fell down together!

"Bang——! ! "

But Li You was well prepared and called V in advance. The grappling hook pulled the two of them down at a constant speed. On the other side, Edge hung on Yuzi's back and also landed safely.

This underground space is quite spacious, but it is dark and has a considerable height difference from the ground. There is shallow water in the underground cave, and a candle is burning in one corner of the cave.

This is the cave house of wandering souls and the sacrificial site of the "Accumulator" oath.

"Boom!"

The cursed tree fell heavily to the ground, but the violent impact did not seem to cause any damage to it.

On the contrary, its abdomen squeezed again, and another white pustules appeared. That's not all, there is also a pale, slender, but huge arm, sticking out from the crack!

"Woo woo woo!"

The cursed tree echoed, and the arm on the abdomen grabbed the closest Yuzu and Aggie with a speed completely opposite to the body!

"Roar!"

But Yuzu is naturally not easy to mess with. When he opened his mouth, a large piece of flame spewed out again!

Yuzu's ability to spit out flames comes from the T-Veronica virus. In essence, it spits out its own blood, so it can't be used all the time.

And of course, his flames have no special features, but just pure high temperature!

The blazing flames burned the big white hand, and it scalded it and shrank back involuntarily. And Edge took advantage of the situation, jumped up with the help of Yuzu's push, and chopped down heavily with the black knight's axe surrounded by purple fire in his hand!

"Puff--"

The ferocious axe blade of the black knight's axe cut a huge wound on the tree's arm, but no blood flowed out of it, but dark cursed substances spread out.

The cursed tree trembled violently, and the crown began to shake, trying to shake off the "fruits" wrapped in zombies hanging on the branches!

Those "fruits" were wrapped in the bodies and pus of zombies, which was also a way of attack for the cursed tree.

But Li You still didn't intend to let it succeed.

"Yuzu--!"

Yuzu responded loudly, and then raised his hand. On his arm, he held the whale spear gun he had obtained before!

"Roar!!"

Yuzu screamed, and the fine steel harpoon flew out!

"Puff"

The steel fork accurately intercepted a falling ginseng fruit, took it directly and nailed it to the stone wall of the cave house!

"There are more behind!"

Li You said, and he and V raised their knives and stepped forward to start chopping the eggs of the big tree.

Yuzu responded, and the whale spear gun in his hand kept spewing, knocking the falling fruits one by one!

However, although the whale spear gun has unlimited ammunition, the harpoon it sprays will automatically disappear after a period of time, unless it is equipped with a rope, so it cannot be reused.

Just like the shells dropped by firearms with unlimited ammunition, they will be refreshed after a while.

I don't know which programmer designed the system like this. He searched and searched, and he had no chance to find loopholes.

Li You complained in his heart.

But fortunately, even if it refreshes and disappears, it will take at least ten minutes, so there is no need to worry for the time being. It is better to say that the bigger problem is that Yuzi's aim is not that good, so from time to time, he would miss, and those fruits also fell to the ground smoothly.

The ginseng fruit of the tree exploded, turning into a piece of pus, covering the surrounding ground and emitting a foul smell.

This pus obviously cannot be touched, otherwise it will be as painful as burning.

But fortunately, most of the fruits were knocked away by Yuzi, and one or two scattered ones fell on the ground, posing little threat.

At the same time, the concentrated fire of Li You, Aggie and V has made the cursed tree unbearable.

Li You and Aggie swung their knives and chopped the pale arm of the tree, leaving it scarred. And V aimed at the tree's eggs and kept stabbing with the scepter!

"Puff puff puff——"

One by one, the pus bags were punctured, and the knives were chopped on the claws of the tree, and these attacks were entangled with the purple fire given by the flying snow of the gods.

The tree's fighting power was weak to begin with. After such a series of blows, it finally whimpered and fell to the ground.

"Woo——"

"Boom——!"

The tree's originally dry limbs and the new arms on its abdomen all drooped helplessly, and the fat trunk fell completely.

This sacred tree that has been carrying the curse in the immortal settlement since ancient times has finally ended its mission.

The body of the cursed tree also turned into a masterless soul and dissipated. Its own twisted soul containing the curse was taken by Li You.

However, there was another item that came with it.

A small furnace with a round shape, a dark silver crystal shell, and a dark furnace with a little starlight inside.

This is Kurland's smelting furnace, which is the key prop for the "refining" of the soul of the fire king Ludos, and is also required to fuse the two immortal swords.

Li You was very satisfied with the smelting furnace, and he didn't even care about the soul of the cursed tree.

"Light a fire, we will return to the Fire Sacrifice Site immediately!"

Li You put away the smelting furnace and came to the cave of the wandering soul. The place where the candle was lit was where the extinguished campfire was located.

However, next to the campfire, there was a body that was smashed to death. It looked like an old man, wearing an old armor wrapped in cloth strips.

This is the Paladin Fodorink, but now he has turned into a crazy wandering soul and became the oath bearer of the accumulator.

In fact, if you come here before defeating the tree, Fodorink is still alive. If you talk to him, he will give you the oath of the accumulator. But Li You killed all the way to the tree and didn't come to him in advance.

This is mainly because Li You had just tried to swear an oath at the old wolf of Fran not long ago, but found that he could not get the oath of the Fran Guard from the old wolf because he was not an ash or an undead.

In theory, the oath should be made by both living people and undead people, but it may be because the "program" of the old wolf of Fran is not smart enough. After its body died, it can no longer recognize ordinary people.

And since the oath of the Fran Guard could not be obtained, Li You was too lazy to make another trip to try the accumulator oath here.

After lighting the campfire in the Wandering Soul Cave House, Li You led everyone and teleported back to the Fire Sacrifice.

…

"——Welcome back, Lord Li You."

He was still greeted by the gentle greeting of the fire keeper, who nodded gently to Li You.

However, Li You was a little anxious, and simply replied "Thank you for your hard work", and walked past her and came to the side of Rhodos on the throne.

"...Oh, you're back."

Rhodos seemed to be taking a nap, and he woke up only after Li You approached.

"Sorry, I seem to have fallen asleep."

Li You looked at him, and the remains of Rhodos were still burning with flames. His face was charred, but a trace of pain could be seen.

At this time, Li You was not in a hurry. He looked at Rhodos and asked: "It must be painful to pass on the fire and be burned by the flames."

He used an affirmative tone, and Rhodos was stunned. Seeing Li You's expression, he said: "Turning your body into firewood, letting the first fire burn and devour your flesh and soul, how can it not hurt?"

"But even so, for thousands of years, generations of kings have thrown themselves into the flames one after another, just to maintain the remaining light.

"I became the King of Fire according to my own wishes, and I am deeply proud of it. So you don't have to worry, I will not leave here, because I am the king, and this is my throne.

"As for you, just go and do what you want to do. I can see that you are also here with a unique mission, right?"

Li You nodded. In the game, players can sometimes hear Rhodos mumbling in his sleep, groaning and praying for death and liberation.

Although he always told Ashes that he was bathed in the glory of being a king, the pain of becoming the food of the First Fire could not be ignored after all - it was the pain that gnawed the soul.

But even so, Rhodos would rather stay on the throne and turn into firewood again.

It can only be said that he does have his own persistence, just like everyone who is still alive in the soul world.

In other worlds before, the thing Li You did most often was to save people, save people, and save people. Although he would occasionally complain about it, he was actually used to it.

But in the world of Dark Souls III, he was a little hesitant about whether to do so.

In the world of Souls III, there are really not many living people left, and the only ones who are alive are those who have their own missions or goals. Once they have completed their mission, they will basically choose to end their lives.

For example, Brother Onion, Siris, or Brother Igor with the Hammer.

Li You can certainly help these people, but what about after that? If he forcibly intervenes to let them survive, wouldn’t it be against their own wishes?

Li You hasn’t figured out what to do yet. For example, during this trip to the Undead Settlement, he also got the remaining bones of the old woman Loretta that the thief Greyret was looking for, but he hasn’t handed the things to him yet.

“…Hey, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing that Li You was a little distracted, Rhodos also asked.

Li You came back to his senses, shook his head vigorously, and decided to talk about it later.

He then took out the smelting furnace from his backpack and handed it to Rhodos.

“Oh, so you found the smelting furnace.”

Rhodos’ eyes lit up rarely.

“It looks quite old, but it seems to be usable, very good.

“Then, just treat it as my old talk, you must remember to bring the deformed soul. ‘Refinement’ is the technique of solidifying the characteristics of the soul and then taking it out. As long as the deformed soul is refined, the corresponding power can be obtained.

“Of course, the two weapons with souls like yours can also be combined into one.

“Come on, give them to me.”

Li You naturally did not hesitate, and took out the two Undead Slashes, Kaimen and Bailei, and handed them to Rhodos.

Rhodos stroked the two knives and murmured: “These two knives are condensed with the soul of the forger. They are really rare weapons. Don’t worry, I will not let the forger down.”

As he said, he activated the smelting furnace with the power of soul and fire. The two Undead Slashes gradually lost their shape in his hands and turned into two floating souls, one red and one black.

Li You couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Not only him, but also Yuzu, Edge, V, and even old man Andre, who had never left the forge for thousands of years, came to the campfire to watch.

“…Oh, this is really rare. "He whispered.

In front of Li You, Rhodos threw the two souls into the smelting furnace, and the souls intertwined and merged in the furnace.

Then, as Rhodos threw a large number of ownerless souls (from Li You) into the furnace, the fused two souls gradually stretched and were about to condense into shape!

At this moment, the smelting furnace shone brightly, and Li You's chest suddenly shone with a brilliant light. The Sakura Dragon God Crystal in his body responded to the fusion of the two Undead Swords!

Li You's eyes widened instantly, feeling his divine power and energy being swept away, surging out and rushing into the smelting furnace!

Rhodos was also very surprised: "This power is..."

But the next moment, a beam of light had already rushed straight to the dome of the fire sacrifice site!

"Buzz--!!"

Li You barely opened his eyes, and a long sword with a gleaming light was floating in front of him.

"Is this... the fused Immortal Slash?"

He stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword.

"Boom--!!"

Instantly, there was only a vast white light in front of Li You's eyes!
