Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 760: Searching for the Witch in the Forest
"You are Brock right? I've heard of you."

While Brock was studying the spiral sword, Li You looked at him and started chatting with him again.

Brock raised his head and glanced at him. "Then it seems that you are well-informed! But did I ask you to introduce yourself to me? You said it, and what should I say? 'You must be that guy on the street', is that so? I don't even know your fucking name!"

Li You really made him laugh this time. If Brock had not been a blacksmith and had gone to the modern world with his brother to perform crosstalk, he would probably be a good performer.

"So what's your name?" Brock glanced at Li You and then turned his attention back to the spiral sword, but he was still talking.

"My name is Li You. As you can see, I am a traveler from another world." Li You replied.

Brock was indeed not surprised at all: "In the Nine Realms, this kind of thing is not surprising, but your armor and this weapon are both craftsmanship I have never seen before. It seems that the place you come from is really far away from here."

Li You was wearing the collector's robe that he had used for a long time, and of course he was also covered with weapons. In the world of God of War, Li You would ensure that he was always in a state where he could fight with all his strength.

However, the other weapons on his body did not arouse Brock's interest. He just took a glance at them at most.

He seemed to think that even though these were powerful magic weapons, they were not worth mentioning in front of the spiral sword.

After observing the spiral sword for a long time, Brock finally picked up his hammer and carefully knocked on a certain part of the sword. The spiral sword immediately made a crisp sound.

The wrinkles on Brock's face instantly relaxed, and he wielded the hammer again, this time casually hitting the tip of the sword and the handle, causing the spiral sword to jump twice on the anvil, and then he put away the hammer.

"Okay! Go ahead and try it out!"

Brock turned his hand and used the hammer to pick up the spiral sword and threw it at Li You. Li You caught it and danced in the air, and he immediately noticed the difference.

If Brock hadn't made the adjustment, he wouldn't have felt it before, but now, after a comparison, he immediately found that the spiral sword in his hand had become much lighter and more agile after the adjustment, and he was particularly handy when dancing with it.

Even though it seems like Brock only knocked three times, it was actually very serious. When he upgraded Kratos' Leviathan Axe in the game, he only needed to hit it once.

"Indeed……"

Li You subconsciously looked towards the woods next to him. In the game, after Kratos completed the first upgrade of his battle axe here, undead warriors immediately rushed out of the woods to serve as his whetstone. But on Li You's side, all the undead warriors in the woods had already been chopped down by him just now.

Li You was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head.

It is not necessary to have an enemy to test the sword, he can fully feel the power of the spiral sword now.

He shook the spiral sword lightly, and it immediately transformed into a spear. After it circled around Li You's body, it turned into a long sword in a flash.

Li You made several sword moves, then threw the sword, caught it again, and began to practice. The sword body turned into a knife, an axe, a stick, a whip... Li You used almost every form, and finally changed back to the original form. Li You turned around and stabbed it into the ground in front of him with his backhand.

"call--"

After finishing the drill, Li You let out a long sigh, feeling indescribably refreshed.

He looked up at Brock and wanted to thank him, but the Smurf snorted: "Why are you looking at me? Are you going to charge for the acrobatics just now? I didn't ask you to perform this! If you have nothing else to do, get out of here and don't delay my business!"

Although he said so, Li You still saw a flash of satisfaction on his stinky face, so he smiled: "Okay, see you next time."

"Hmph!" Brock just snorted but didn't refute and went to deal with his materials.

Li You thought that maybe he could ask Brock to help him make a set of armor. After all, in addition to making weapons, these two dwarves are also top-notch armor masters.

But there is no rush. He can deal with it after he reunites with his brother. Now Li You still has to continue his mission.

Yes, although Brock is a god-level blacksmith, he is not the person that the system task requires Li You to find.

[Main Quest 1-3: Find the witch in the forest and gain her minimum trust (in progress).]

The mission requires you to find the "Witch of the Forest", who is another key figure in the main storyline of the game.

We have to move forward, and how to gain her trust is also a question that needs to be considered. Although she is not as vigilant as Kratos, she will not trust others so easily.

Holding the spiral sword, Li You continued to move towards the mountain.

It is worth mentioning that, just like in the Ring of Magic world, this world, the land called Midgard under his feet, is much larger than in the game, and the terrain is much more complicated than in the game.

This is why Li You didn't just turn into a half-dragon and fly over there. The topography of this area is very different from that in the game, and the distance is at least several times farther. Under the suppression of external divine power in this world, with his current divine power storage, he might run out of fuel and crash halfway through the flight before finding the witch's house.

What else can he say? Just walk over there!

Li You walked the path that Kratos and his son walked in the game, and also walked through some areas that he had never seen in the game. The enemies blocking his way were also of various kinds, from all kinds of undead warriors to alien soldiers with toxins wrapped around their bodies, which also made Li You recall his experience when he played the God of War difficulty.

Following the method of Atreus in the game, Li You cracked the circular gate of the shelter that blocked the way (not really), crossed the empty wilderness that was originally infested with mountain monsters, and collected some resources unique to this world.

For example, steel produced by the dwarf kingdom, ores that condense special powers, and so on. Most of them are materials with item descriptions in the game.

Li You threw these things into the system backpack. Although he didn't know whether they could be used to forge armor later, he had plenty of space in his backpack anyway.

……

at the same time.

Kratos and Atreus, father and son, had just left home not long ago and were still interacting cordially and friendly with the undead warriors.

“Ahhhh——!!”

Kratos's battle cry is extremely loud, his footsteps can shake the earth, and the Leviathan Axe in his hand can easily tear apart the bodies of the undead warriors, killing them completely.

As for Atreus, he is still a young boy. Although he can shoot arrows to support Kratos in battle, most of the time he just launches some insignificant attacks.

Although players say that Atreus, who can output damage from a distance and will not die even if his health bar is empty, is the real God of War, the one we control is just an old father with a bad temper and osteoporosis. If he dies accidentally, his son will have to dig out the resurrection stone to save his life.

But playing with memes is just playing with memes. Atreus at this stage can’t even assist Kratos, let alone be a true god of war.

After another encounter with the undead warriors, Atreus asked Kratos, "Did I help?"

Kratos replied: "If you want to help, distract the enemy. You are responsible for all enemies that are not within my attack range, but remember to ensure your own safety."

Atreus understood: "No problem!"

Kratos didn't say much. In this journey, Atreus must become a qualified warrior, otherwise he would not be able to make it to the end.

But there is still a long way to go, and they still have some time to let Atreus grow.

Atreus is still too young, just like a kid who just went out, interested in everything. "Father, will we meet other people on the road?"

"meeting."

"Friendly?"

"will not."

"..."

During this conversation, the father and son continued to move forward.

——The other side at this time.

When a faint more moist scent appeared in the air, Li You also arrived at the entrance of a valley.

His location had left the Highland Wild Forest and came to the estuary area near the Lake of the Nine Realms.

Looking from the entrance, the valley ahead was shrouded in a layer of fog. Li You used his magic power to explore and vaguely sensed that there was a force in it that could make people lose their way, but it had no malicious intent. Even if ordinary people or animals accidentally entered, they would only go around in circles and find themselves back at the entrance.

The shape of this valley is very different from what Li You remember, but Li You has an impression of its existence.

In the game, when Kratos and his son walked to the wilderness, they found traces of wild boars on the ground. Kratos told Atreus that a warrior must always remember to practice his skills, so he asked him to track.

Although they encountered a mountain monster on the way, Kratos and his son, who cooperated more and more tacitly, defeated it without much effort, continued to move forward, and found their prey, the wild boar.

Because the wild boar's skin was protected by magic, Atreus' arrow failed once, and it was only when he caught up with the wild boar a second time that he successfully shot him.

Then, Atreus chased the wild boar into the misty valley and met the witch of the woods.

This was the experience of their meeting in the game, and Li You also planned to start from this.

Of course, he would not shoot an arrow at the wild boar when he knew its identity. This "wild boar" is not only the last one in the Nine Realms, but in fact it is not a wild boar at all. He is just trapped in this body. He is actually a friend of the witch and appears in human form in the fifth generation plot.

If Li You took out his bow and shot an arrow at the person, the person might die on the spot. Then the friendship would turn into enmity, and he would be chased and hacked by the witch in the forest.

Anyway, knowing the identity of the wild boar, Li You just needs to follow him and he should be able to pass through the misty valley and find the witch.

According to the traces found by Kratos and his son in the game, this wild boar usually moves around near this wilderness. Li You found a hidden place and waited for a while. Sure enough, he saw the wild boar with yellow magic runes on its body appear at the edge of the valley.

"It's him."

Unfortunately, as mentioned before, this wild boar was trapped in its current form. Due to the reverse influence of the flesh on the spirit, he gradually began to think that he was really a wild boar. Only the witch's reminder could help him stabilize his cognition.

Therefore, Li You could not go up to talk to him and ask him to lead the way. Now that the companion function has not been unlocked, he cannot seek help from Edge.

There was no other way, he could only wait until his wild boar friend was willing to return to the witch on his own.

This wait lasted for quite a while.

Li You remained hidden and followed the wild boar, but the wild boar was still very busy, wandering here and there and refusing to go home to rest.

Fortunately, Li You had plenty of patience, so he just kept waiting until it got a little dark.

When he saw that the wild boar friend, after circling for so long, finally found a female wild boar in heat, and was grunting and preparing to press on her, he was finally stunned.

"What the hell..."

Li You really couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'll fuck you!"

He took out his hand cannon and fired a shot into the sky!
"boom--!!"

The unprecedented loud noise scared the two wild boars over there. The female wild boar was frightened and suddenly lunged forward. She subconsciously kicked her hind legs backwards, causing the other wild boar to fall backwards suddenly. She trembled all over and almost couldn't get up.

"Ah this?"

Li You didn’t see it clearly just now, but that wild boar friend... was he kicked near a vital point?

This...shouldn't be blamed on him, right? After all, he wasn't the one who hit me, right?

After thinking about it, Li You decided that he should go over and take a look. What if the wild boar friend was really injured in the vitals? If he didn't deal with it quickly, what would happen if he didn't have any offspring? He was the last one.

By the way, it wasn't Li Youxian who called him "Wild Boar Friend" because his original name was too long and Li You couldn't remember it...

Many of these people in Northern Europe, even the monsters, have very long names, which are really hard to remember. For example, every skin-changing mountain monster in the game has its own name. Li You is not sure if they have any allusions, anyway, he can't remember them.

In short, in order to check the injuries of his wild boar friend, Li You walked out of his hiding place and approached that side.

The fallen wild boar friend naturally saw Li You. A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly overwhelmed by pain and animality, and he continued to struggle and roar.

"Don't worry, I have a healing potion... By the way, will this work for you?"

at this time.

"Roar--!!"

A roar suddenly sounded, and the ground shook. Li You turned around suddenly, and saw a mountain monster with yellow paint on its body, chasing a group of sheep or other animals, rushing out from the other side of the field!
Like other mountain monsters, he was carrying a huge stone pillar, roaring, and swinging the pillar down, but he didn't hit even a deer.

The mountain monster roared in anger, and his stomach also roared at the same time. At this moment, his nose moved and he turned his head to look at Li You and the wild boar.

"Roar--!!"

Li You knew at a glance that he couldn't avoid this battle.

"Well, I'll use you to test my sword. Anyway, there are so many skin-changing monsters along the way, so if I kill one or two less, it shouldn't cost Kratos much experience."

Thinking of this, Li You raised his hand, and the Shield of Aegis covered the wild boar friend lying on the ground. He then drew out the Spiral Sword, transformed it into the form of the Black Knight's Axe, and faced the mountain monster.

"Come on, there are still a lot of your relatives to fight with in the back, so it's a good opportunity for me to practice!"

The mountain monster naturally didn't understand what he was saying, and only roared angrily: "Roaroo ...
