Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 189 The night devil’s lair is upgraded!

afternoon.

Li You stood in the open space in front of the entrance to the abandoned dungeon, holding a knife and standing quietly.

Brother Chonggun of Xianfeng Temple who was captured by him, and the Wei Ming soldiers who were originally responsible for guarding, all stood on one side of the open space, keeping a distance from Li You, and whispering something from time to time.

Li You's eyes were slightly closed, and his whole body showed a relaxed posture, but the energy in his body was actually roaring.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes!
Li You suddenly jumped up high, the knife in his hand was instantly wrapped with energy, and he swung it in the air!
A shapeless vacuum wave flew out along the edge of his blade and hit the dirt, leaving a shallow mark on the ground.

Li You then landed lightly, danced the sword into a sword flower, and then put it back into its sheath.

He glanced at the marks on the ground and frowned slightly.

"…Failed again."

He inserted the katana into the ground with its sheath, closed his eyes again, and began to think deeply.

The Wei Ming soldiers on the side looked at each other in confusion.

"...Tell me, what on earth is this...Master Li You practicing? It's been a long time."

"...I don't know, but did you see it? He just released a vacuum wave from his sword. That is something only the masters of Wei Mingren can do. Why does he still seem dissatisfied?"

"...If I knew, I would still be here guarding the gate? I would have lived in the castle tower with those samurai masters!"

"...By the way, those two bald men over there...oh no, those two monks are pretty good, aren't they? Why don't you go and ask?"

"...I won't go. Those monks and soldiers in Xianfeng Temple only care about money. No one can do anything without money. I don't want to deal with them."

The two spear masters from Xianfeng Temple stood a little further away and actually listened to most of the discussion of Wei Ming soldiers.

But when they looked at each other, they didn't understand what Li You was practicing.

In fact, they were very surprised.Li You started practicing swordplay at noon. At the earliest time, if he didn't use his special skills to fly across the floating boat, he would only be able to stimulate his energy to form an air current, which was purely for good looks.

But soon, he continued to improve his swordsmanship through continuous practice, and soon he was able to use an air blade formed by his strength without using any special skills.

This has shocked the two spear masters, because as members of the strongest fighting group in Xianfeng Temple, their mastery of the way of energy is only at this level.

But Li You was not satisfied yet and continued to practice.

And just now, he had even been able to arouse his energy and form the prototype of a vacuum wave.Although it was still far from being formed and could not cause any harm, it proved that Li You had surpassed them in the use of energy.

And all this happened in just half an hour.

The two gunsmiths really couldn't believe it.

Is it possible that in the past few decades, we have been living in a dog’s belly?

Of course, Li You didn't know what the people around him were thinking. He was just practicing his sword very simply.

However, he didn't just sit there and daydream.Others looked at him as if he hadn't moved, but in fact he slipped into the fragmented world and practiced again and again.

After all, as long as he doesn't clear the level after entering the World Fragments, he can exit and re-enter at any time without disappearing.Moreover, in the fragmented world, the time of the main world will be suspended, and even if you are injured, it will not be reflected back to reality.

Wouldn't this be the perfect training ground?

So Li You looked at the sword that he had only practiced for less than an hour. In fact, he had been in and out of the fragmented world dozens of times. Only then could he quickly improve his strength to such an extent.

However, even so, he has not yet achieved his original goal.

Because what he wanted to practice at the beginning was actually... releasing Ba Zhi's thunder.

After watching the battle between Genichiro and Wolf, and witnessing Genichiro's use of Tomoe's Thunder, the memory in Li You's mind also awakened.

He felt that he could control Ba Zhilei now.

However, he tried countless times according to the memory of using Genichiro's body to release Tomoe's thunder, but he never succeeded.

"It's not a matter of method, it's probably...I can't release Ba Zhilei myself."

After coming to this conclusion, Li You was helpless.

This time it's not a skill issue, it's a hardware issue.

It seems that if you want to release Ba Zhilei on your own, it depends on whether the system will give you face.

He recalled a joke he had seen before:
Even the dogs in the Palace of Origin can thunder, but the wolf (wolf) cannot.

"Hey...I'm really worse than a dog now."

Well, it was just a joke after all.The dogs in Genno Palace can thunder because they have special magatama hanging around their necks.

In short, after confirming that he could not learn Ba Zhilei for the time being, Li You finally decided to stop and rest for a while, and at the same time put away the knife at hand.

Having said that, Li You also asked Genichiro if there were any blacksmiths above the master level in the city, but unfortunately the answer he got was no.

There are several old blacksmiths in the city, but their level, the strongest one is only at the quasi-master level, which is comparable to Rupert of Hallan City, who is a gunsmith. There is really no way to help him deal with the fragments of the Moonlight Blade.

In desperation, Li You had no choice but to continue using the knife given to him by Genichiro.

By the way, just today, the errand devil finally sent the reply from Harlan.It also came with a package, which contained Alexei's handmade meteor darts, sensory-disrupting bombs in special containers, and some scattered specialties.

Speaking of this sensory jamming bomb, Li You remembered the time when his survivors organized light guards in Harlan City.

I have to say that although the place of Harlan is "beautiful", Li You still misses it after being away for so long.

As for the interference bomb itself, of course it is also useful.Li You plans to use them as secret weapons, and then give the inner army a little black technology shock.

Li You nodded to Brother Chonggun and Wei Mingbing, telling them to do their own thing, and then returned to the abandoned dungeon.

Because the number of Chonggun Brothers was indeed limited, Li You did not send them to practice with Ashina's soldiers, but gave them the task of guarding the abandoned dungeon.

This is considered their duty, guarding the main hall at Senboji Temple, and guarding the dungeon at Ashina Castle...

Yuzi is still working on infrastructure at Hukou Stairs, while Aiji is in the dungeon.

Li You came to the deepest part of the dungeon, where Aiji was standing, looking at several pale figures in front of him.

The first Night Stalkers hatch.

He originally placed the nest late at night the day before yesterday. Logically speaking, it should not hatch until tonight, but in fact, Li You got the hint that the night demons were hatching at noon.

——Just after Aggie’s unique ability awakened.

【Aggie (Queen of Night Demon)】

[Favorability: 82, Trust: 87. 】

[Unique function: spiritual link. 】

[Active ability can link consciousness with other creatures by stimulating mental power.When linked to the Night Devil, the individual Night Devil can be completely controlled; when linked to non-Night Devil creatures, different results will occur depending on the individual's mental strength and acceptance. 】

[The strength of this ability depends on the mental strength of the companion. 】

Not surprisingly to Li You, Aiji's unique ability is related to mental power.

Judging from the system description, it should be strengthened on the basis of the Holy Mother.

Previously, Aggie could only have a limited impact on other night demons through instinctive methods and his telepathic talent.

But now, her ability has become effective on all creatures, and will continue to increase based on her own mental strength.

At the same time, with the awakening of this ability, Aggie officially advanced from the "semi-adult Night Demon Queen" to the complete Night Demon Queen.

Everything complements each other.

But what made her feel lucky was that her head was not completely transformed into a night demon because of this.

After she completed the advancement of the Night Demon Queen, the core of the Night Demon's Lair seemed to respond to the birth of the Queen. Not only did all the Night Demons that were still gestating accelerate their hatching, but the core of the Night Demon's Lair itself also underwent great changes. The change.

【Night Devil's Lair (tiny scale)】

[Item introduction: A primary lair that can breed a small number of night demons for you. 】

[Overview of lair attributes]

[Core level: Level 2 (can only breed 12 Night Demons at the same time). 】

[Hatching speed: Level 2 (breeding and hatching time: 40 hours). 】

[Hatchable species]

[Ordinary night devil (both speed and agility, basic intelligence, afraid of ultraviolet light). 】

[Perception Night Demon (has both speed and agility, is not afraid of ultraviolet rays, needs to be transformed with a living humanoid creature, and the intelligence after transformation remains the same as the mother body.)]

[Nest defense: None yet. 】

[Special functions: transformation of night devil, protected by the queen. 】

[Lair core experience value: (282/500)]

[Nest energy reserve: (96/2000)]

【Function Menu】

[Breeding Night Demons: Breeding Night Demons through the nest, the time required is related to the core level, and it needs to be in an area rich in nutrients, or artificially provide food. 】

[Night Demon Transformation: The lair can transform living humanoid creatures into sentient night demons, which have the ability not to be afraid of ultraviolet rays. After the transformation is completed, some memories can be retained, and the intelligence remains the same as that of the mother body. 】

[Queen's Protection: When the Night Demon Queen is near the lair, the nest's core experience acquisition speed is increased, the Night Demon's breeding speed is increased, and the core energy consumption is reduced. 】

[Other functions have not been unlocked yet. 】

[Fixed feature: Night demons hatched in the core of the lair have the ability to spread viruses, but when leaving this world, all night demons and the viruses they spread will be forcibly cleared. 】

……

When Li You and Aiji arrived, they saw eight night demons that had hatched and were catching bugs in the dungeon, as well as the night demon's lair, which had been enlarged by less than half.

After the lair was upgraded, everything else was fine, but what Li You didn't expect was that there was an additional function that could transform the perception of night demons.

And judging from the system description, the energy required to transform a sentient night devil is only 100 points.

Coupled with the improved number of gestations and hatching speed, this means that if he is ruthless enough and chooses to strengthen the night devil nest with all his strength, he will soon be able to have a team of sentient night devils who are not afraid of ultraviolet rays and possess intelligence. army!
The strength of the core of the Night Demon's lair finally began to show signs.

However, Li You thought about it and still felt that this thing could be used as a means of enrichment, but it could not really be used as a trump card.

Your own strength is the most important thing.

Of course, when necessary, it must be used.

For example, right now, while Li You is practicing swordplay outside, Aiji is experimenting with her newly awakened abilities on the newly hatched night demons.

So what Li You saw when he came in was four night demons holding swords, guns and sticks, waving them in unison.

"Woo-ga——!"

The night demons roared, just like humans training as soldiers, waving knives, stabbing guns, sheathing knives, and sweeping guns.

Aggie stood at the edge of the collapsed dungeon, eyes slightly closed, commanding the night demons through spiritual links.

When she heard Li You's footsteps coming in, she didn't move. Instead, the four night demons turned their heads and looked at him, with a clear blue light flashing in their eight eyes.

Li You: "Good guy?"

Then, the blue light in the eyes of the four night demons faded, and Aggie opened his eyes and turned his head:
"Li You. Sorry, I'm not used to spiritual links yet."

Li You smiled and asked, "Are the other four Night Demons looking for food?"

Ai Ji nodded: "Yes. The energy of the nest has bottomed out, and I sent them to hunt beasts at Xianfeng Temple."

Li You had no objection, and then asked: "How are you practicing the link with other creatures that are not night demons?"

Facing Li You's expectant gaze, Aiji could only shake his head.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, a night devil immediately grabbed a huge black cricket the size of a basketball from its nest.

Li You subconsciously wanted to kill it with a dart.

Yes, these things crawling all over the floor are actually crickets, not cockroaches...

But looking so dark and haunting dirty places, Li You felt there was nothing wrong with treating everyone equally.But Ai Ji obviously planned to use it as a demonstration, so Li You suppressed his restless hand.

Ai Ji closed his eyes again, and then Li You saw that the legs of the black cricket that had been struggling suddenly became quiet and seemed to have become spiritual.

But then, Aiji's eyes opened, and the cricket trembled all over and ascended to the sky on the spot.

Li You: "...?"

"what happened?"

Aiji said helplessly: "It is too difficult to use the ability of spiritual link on creatures other than night demons."

"Those creatures that are too weak will be killed immediately by my mental power. As for individuals with sufficient mental power, as long as they have a little sense of resistance, I can't affect them.

"I'm still not proficient enough in this ability. I have to continue practicing."

Li You also nodded, but still said: "Be careful to be moderate when practicing. The feeling of mental exhaustion is very uncomfortable. You don't want to experience it."

Aggie said he understood.

Li You wanted to say something else, but there was a shout from the entrance of the dungeon, it was one of the Chongbun brothers.

He walked to the stairs and said to Li Youyi below:

"Sir! Lord Ashina Genichiro wants to see you!"

Li You said: "Just right. Go and send a message and ask him to come over!"

Brother Chongstick is gone.

Soon, with the sound of familiar footsteps, Genichiro arrived inside the dungeon.

"What's wrong, Li You, I'm very busy. Didn't I say before that when the night demon you mentioned hatches, then... hmm!?"

While talking, Xian Yilang had already arrived at Li You's side.He immediately saw the night demons below.The ferocious look surprised him.

"This is...the Night Stalker?"

Li You nodded: "Yes, this is my warrior."

Genichiro looked at him: "So, what exactly can they do? You have kept me waiting for so long, and I hope they are worthy of this expectation."

Li You smiled and snapped his fingers.

A night devil immediately jumped up high and jumped onto the wall nearby. It climbed to a position close to the ceiling with extremely flexible hands and feet.

Then, another Night Demon stood there, but opened its mouth to the first Night Demon, and spit out a mouthful of acid!
"Gah-!"

The first Night Demon moved quickly, even if it was hanging on the wall, it easily avoided the acid spit.The acid liquid fell on the wall and immediately corroded the stone mountain wall into a small pit.

Genichiro raised his eyebrows: "...Oh?"

Then, the other two Night Demons came to a dark boulder together. They joined forces and bent down. With the scream of "Woo-ga", the boulder was overturned by the two Night Demons!
Genichiro was finally completely moved.

He looked at the Night Demons. These humanoid creatures had powerful speed and strength, as well as the ability to attack from a distance. They also obviously had high physical defense.

Most importantly, they obey orders.

Genichiro immediately realized how powerful this creature called "Night Demon" under Li You was!
He immediately asked: "How long will it take to breed the next batch of night demons? Do we need to supplement the food?"

But Li You replied: "The next batch is still the same, it will take nearly two days. But there can be twelve."

"Food is indeed needed, but it is not limited to human food. They can absorb even some nutrient-rich water, soil and other substances that normal people cannot eat."

To be precise, Night Stalkers can indeed eat animals and insects that humans do not eat, but water and soil cannot be absorbed, and they must be converted into energy by the core of the nest.

But the result is the same, so there's no need to explain it so clearly to Genichiro, he won't understand either.

Genichiro thought for a moment, understood, and then said:

"Our people caught a large number of rats today. It is possible that the news of my grandfather's illness stimulated the guys in the inner palace."

"If we take the worst plan, they may try to launch a tentative attack within a day. This Night Demon... is not enough!"

Li You said: "As I said before, unless I am given at least a few months to prepare, the Night Demons can only be used as a surprise force, not as the main force."

"However, after all, the inner government has not received the news that the old man has really passed away, so it will definitely not launch a full-scale attack. If it is just a tentative attack, with our current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to block it, right?
"At that time, we will also have more time to prepare."

Genichiro also nodded. He looked at the night demons below again and made a decision:
"If the inner government launches a tentative attack, the Gu Ying people will definitely go first, followed by the Red Army."

"I'll ask someone to send over some of the clothes worn by the Eagles. You let them wear them, and we... ambush those rats!"

Li You smiled: "No problem. I think the Guyingzhong must have suffered too much, and they can also give the inner government a good heartache."

Genichiro also nodded, and then said: "By the way, I have other things to ask you for."

"My sensei, Kigatabu, wants to see you."

Li You was stunned: "Huh?"

Genichiro briefly explained: "He heard about you, Kawarada Naomori and Yamauchi Norizen. After those two people went back, they publicized your deeds."

"Now all the Ashinians know your existence, and they also know that you have the strength to defeat Naomori Kawarada.

"But even so, there are still people who are dissatisfied with you, so they found the leader of Ashina's seven spears, Masataka Oniwa Katabe, and hope that he can serve as a representative and come to meet you for a while."

Li You understood: "I just asked the Onishabu to come forward."

Genichiro did not deny it: "I, a member of Wei Mingzhong, have always respected the strong. If you have the strength that can be recognized by my teacher, Kigatabu, then no one will trouble you again in the future. "

"So if you have time, I suggest you go there."

Li You thought about it and realized that he really didn't have anything urgent to do now. It wouldn't be a bad idea to meet Kigatabu, the most iconic early boss in the game. After all, when the war with the inner government begins, the Otome Gate will indeed be handed over to him.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go."

……

Soon, in front of Otou's door.

This is a vast battlefield, with fine white snow covering the original loess, burying the bodies of Ashina and Naifu's dead soldiers under it.

The last attack by the inner government took place here. Because the battle was so brutal, there are still a large number of corpses that have not been collected.

In order to prevent the spread of epidemics, Ashina's party could only wrap the corpses of the deceased, together with horse corpses, discarded weapons and other items in tattered straw mats, and then set fire to them in the open space.

The guardian of Otemon, the leader of Ashina's seven guns, Genichiro's military teacher, and the first BOSS that must be defeated in the regular process, Oniwa Katabe Masataka, is waiting for Li You on this battlefield. .

The Onigata has a dark complexion, a fleshy face, and a fierce appearance.He is extremely tall and burly, not inferior to Ronaldo, the armored warrior.

At this time, he was wearing armor, a helmet decorated with antlers, and a large cloak made of snow-white animal fur.

However, after the continuous battle, the antlers on the helmet had been cut off in half, the cloak was torn in half, and it was stained with blood stains that could not be washed away.

He folded his arms, his favorite piece of sickle spear stuck upside down on the ground, while his beloved horse ghost Lu Mao stood quietly aside.

Around him, warriors and soldiers formed a circle and were cheering for him.

When Li You came, he saw this scene.

He couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

This looks like the formation of the world's best martial arts competition, so is there going to be another fight soon?

Although he will not shy away from a fight, and he even looks forward to confronting the strong, but don’t you, Mr. Wei, have any other way of communicating?

However, what Onigatabu said surprised him.

The Oni-shaped Department's tiger eyes first stared at Li You, looked him up and down, and then said:

"You are that Li You."

Li You nodded.

"Humph."

After hearing this, the Onigatabu blew out white air from his nose, with a fierce look on his face, and said word by word:
"Thank u!"

Li You: "???"

People around: "???"

What the hell?

Kigatabu continued: "...My student, Genichiro, he is burdened with too many things and pushes himself too hard."

“In order to protect Ashina, whom Isshin-sama captured, he will risk everything, and this is also his responsibility.

"But as a division commander, I feel really uncomfortable seeing him like this. If I let him continue like this, he will definitely drag himself into the abyss of destruction.

"At this time, you showed up."

The ghost-shaped part took two steps forward and came to Li You.

"What I know is that you made many unique suggestions to Genichiro, giving him a lot more work in his already busy schedule!"

Li You: Ah this.

However, Kigatabu changed the subject and added: "But I can also see that although Genichiro is busier after you came, there is something different in his eyes."

"He seemed to really see the hope of saving Ashina, and there was life in his eyes.

"These changes are all thanks to you. As his teacher, I sincerely thank you! What you brought to Genichiro is something I can never give him."

Li You was stunned when he heard this.

In the game, Onigatabu doesn't have many lines. As the first BOSS in the normal process, most players still have the impression of him as a newbie teacher with shameful statistics.

But in this world, Li You saw the other side of the Ghostly Division outside the battlefield.

In fact, what Li You didn't know was that this was also reflected in the original game.

When the player defeats Onigatabu and kills him, Onigatabu's line is to apologize to Genichiro for failing to guard the city gate.

And if he is resurrected for the second time when fighting the Kigatabu, he will say something similar to what he said to Li You just now, that is, "Genichiro is burdened with too many things" and determine that the protagonist wolf is also his burden. one.

So the character of Kigatabu has actually not changed from the beginning.

However, Li You knew that in order to protect the Otate Gate, the Onigatabu stayed here day and night, almost never leaving.

Because of this, Li You has been staying in the castle tower for two or three days, and this is the first time he has officially met with the Onigatabu.

Facing the sincere but fierce-looking thank you from Onigatabu, Li You thought about it and said with a smile:
"You're welcome. I also recognize Genichiro very much, so I'm willing to help him."

After hearing this, Onigatabu was slightly startled at first, and then laughed: "Hahahahaha! That's right! After all, he is my student, the grandson of Isshin-sama! That's a one-in-a-million person!"

"Li You, you are very good, and I admire you very much! So come on, I will teach you the unique marksmanship of Onigatabu-sama to dominate the battlefield!"

Everyone: "Huh??"

Kigatabu was still laughing: "Don't be surprised! Genichiro told me a long time ago that you want to learn marksmanship, right?"

"Sase Jinsuke and the others also told me that they want me to weigh you, that's just right!

"You come and learn marksmanship from me. As long as you learn it fast enough and well enough to satisfy me, then from now on for Wei Minzhong, your words will be equal to mine!

"How do you feel?"

After Li You heard this, he still didn't know that the Onishabu just wanted to find a reason to teach him marksmanship.

Li You was also touched by Onigatabu's delicate style of acting, especially since he knew that Onigatabu was originally a bandit.And of course he would not refuse the other party's kindness.

So he smiled and said: "I can't ask for it."

"Very good!" Under Li You's somewhat horrified gaze, the Oni-shaped part drew his gun, got on his horse, distanced himself, and then shouted to him,

"Then come on! Take out your gun and charge towards my Ghost Deer Hair! Let me see your strength!"

Li You: "..."

Give me back the emotion I just felt!
