Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 779: Climbing the Mountain, and the Thunder Dragon Leiselel
The climbing process was smooth.

After climbing up to the mouth of the human face sculpture, under the illumination of the light of the world, all the black breath was lifted, and Kratos also returned the Rainbow Bridge Stone to Li You.

So theoretically speaking, Li You can indeed go ahead with Youzi and find his own goal.

However, Atreus was very interested in dragons, and after thinking about it, Kratos felt that it would be a good experience to let Atreus see it, so he took the initiative and asked Li You if he had time.

For Kratos, this could be considered a request, and Li You would certainly not refuse.

So he continued to climb the mountain with the father and son, and watched Kratos and Atreus cooperate to crack the various mechanisms in the mountain.

The group first entered the cave inside the giant face statue, where there was a statue of a stag guardian. They had to use the elf mechanism here to open the door hidden in the mountain wall before they could continue moving forward.

Then they pushed forward to the heart of the mountain, which used to be a mine with a lot of mining equipment left behind.

So the father and son began to look for a way forward in this mine.

Of course, Kratos did not forget to open and loot all the treasure chests they saw along the way.

Ordinary treasure chests, legendary treasure chests, coffin treasure chests, and three goddess treasure chests. No matter if it was something Li You remembered, or an old wooden box that was obviously empty, Kui Ye would not let it go, and he would open them all or smash them.

Li You: Happy.

From this point of view, although the official dialogues in the game complaining about Kratos' love of looting everywhere are actually more of Easter eggs, in this world, they seem to be reflected on Kratos as well.

Watching Kratos opening coffins, Atreus seemed to feel a little embarrassed and explained to Li You: "Well... my father said that the dead can't use these resources, but we can, so..."

Li You smiled and said, "I understand. Resources are resources. They are mainly used to strengthen ourselves. It doesn't matter where they come from."

"That's right." Mr. Kui walked out from behind the mechanism with a small package of materials he had just looted. "Our journey is not over yet. We need to make adequate preparations before then."

Atreus: "..."

He suddenly wanted to tell Kratos the origin of those "Bones of Light".

——In any case, they continued to explore.

There are still many undead warriors in the mine, of course there are also nightmares of various subspecies, and occasionally you can encounter liches.

The undead warriors and nightmares were no longer a problem for the father and son. Even the lich, which was originally more difficult to deal with, became easier to break its protective magic after Atreus' bowstring was endowed with the power of the Light of the World. Then the lich was met with a set of fierce attacks from Kratos and was sent away directly.

The journey was smooth. Except for sending away a few undead warriors who rushed towards them to die, Li You and Youzi hardly participated in the battle.

Although he was basically watching the battle the whole time, Li You found it quite interesting to watch Kratos and his son fighting and advancing the map from this perspective.

Similarly, Kratos' "read it" and Atreus' translation and record-keeping are indispensable along the way.

God of War 4, full name: "God of War and His Osteoporotic and Bad-Tempered Old Father".

In addition, the group also encountered Brock's stall in the corner. Kratos was obviously a little surprised and a little dissatisfied: "You have always been able to bypass the Black Breath?"

Brock responded bluntly: "Don't think I can bring you guys along, you big guy!"

In short, Kratos strengthened Atreus' equipment here before continuing on his way.

After making a big circle and opening the gates on both sides of the isolated mine, they pushed out the abandoned mine cart and secured it with a huge hook. Kratos and his son were ready to continue upwards.

"Roar--!!"

It was also at this time that a familiar roar was heard from the big pit in the mine, and a mountain monster covered in ice-blue color crawled out from it!
"Kids, get ready!"

Kratos immediately rushed forward shouting!

The Leviathan Axe chopped heavily on the mountain monster's knee, and then chopped it several times. Atreus bent his bow and shot an arrow from a distance, accurately hitting one of the mountain monster's eyes, effectively disrupting his movement.

"Well done kid!"

Kratos shouted again and was about to swing his axe to kill the mountain monster, but at this moment the mountain monster growled and waved his hand to sprinkle a piece of frost!
Seeing this, Kratos was also slightly startled and deployed his shield to block, but was still knocked back a distance. The mountain monster seemed to understand the principle of fighting with long-range first, and after waving the stone pillar in his other hand to repel Kratos, he roared and rushed towards Atreus!
"child--!"

Li You's eyes moved, and he was also planning to take action. Yuzu had already strode towards Atreus.

Unexpectedly, Atreus shouted, "Don't help me!"

Then, he jumped up from the rock where he was standing, avoiding the charge of the mountain monster, recited a short sentence in Old Norse, and quickly shot an arrow!
A group of wolves formed from magical shadows pounced out as he shot the arrow, all howling as they rushed towards the mountain monster!
The wolves' charge, bites, and magical damage caused the mountain monster to roar in pain, losing its balance and naturally interrupting its subsequent attacks.

“Very good… huh!?”

Atreus was very excited, but he did not notice that he fell on the edge of the big pit where the mountain monster had climbed out.

"Atreus!!" Kratos also shouted and was about to rush over.

But before that, Yuzu had already reached out, and several tentacles quickly extended from under his wrist armor, accurately wrapping around Atreus' ankles and holding him firmly.

Atreus was still in shock at this time, until he followed the direction of the tentacles and saw Yuzu and Li You, and then he felt relieved.

Kratos breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Atreus was out of danger, and then immediately turned to look at the mountain monster next to him.

“Ahhhh——!!”

With a roar, Kratos flew up, knocked away the stone pillar wielded by the mountain monster, broke the curved horn on his head with a punch, then took the Leviathan Axe in his hand and chopped it down heavily!
"Pfft-"

Blood splattered as Kratos swung his axe three times in succession, completely killing the burly mountain monster.

When he took a breath and jumped off the mountain monster's body, Yuzu pulled Atreus back and let him stand firmly on the ground.

"Thank you, thank you." Atreus didn't know how to communicate with Yuzu, but Yuzu nodded at him as a greeting.

Atreus was just feeling a little happy when he saw Kratos coming in front of him again, and he immediately lowered his head again.

"Your actions just now were too careless." Kratos said in a deep voice.

"...Yes, father. I'm sorry, father." Atreus admitted his mistake honestly.

However, Li You said, "But the control of the battle situation was quite accurate, and the response was also appropriate. If he hadn't miscalculated his final position, it would have been perfect."

Atreus' eyes lit up slightly, and he glanced at his father secretly. Kratos was silent for a moment before he said, "Your judgment of tactics is okay, but you must remember that the battle is not over until your opponent is completely defeated and you are completely safe. You cannot relax before then."

To Kratos, this was indeed a compliment, and Atreus was greatly encouraged: "I understand, father!"

"Get ready to move upward."

"Yes, father!"

After Atreus ran towards the mine cart excitedly, Kratos looked at Li You and Yuzu again and nodded slightly.

There was nothing in this area of ​​the mine. Li You, Kratos and the other three boarded the mine cart that had been prepared earlier. A huge grappling hook lowered from a high altitude locked the body of the mine cart, and as Kratos pulled back the Leviathan Axe that froze the mechanism, the cart began to rise, sending the four of them to a higher place like an elevator.

However, this simple elevator could not reach the top of the mountain directly, but it allowed them to save a long distance and reach a higher place in the heart of the mountain.

It is worth mentioning that after the elevator arrived at this floor, Atreus found a paper lantern used by giants for praying on the ground - in fact, it was the giant version of the Kongming lantern.

On the way, they saw some broken lanterns. Li You knew what they were, but he didn't explain and just let Atreus think about it. After seeing this intact Kongming lantern, Atreus suddenly realized its purpose, added some words on it, and then used a flint to light the candle below and released the lantern into the sky.

Watching the dim lights rising higher and higher, Kuiye patted his son's shoulder and asked, "What did you write?"

"I ask them to bless my mother."

Li You did not disturb the rare warmth between the father and son. He just looked ahead and saw another real mine elevator parked at the end of the road.

By riding this mine cart upwards, you can reach a place very close to the top of the mountain. In the game plot, Kratos and his son were attacked by a dragon during this process.

With the information, Li You observed carefully and indeed found traces of a dragon high on the mountain wall.

So, after the father and son finished talking, Li You spoke up to remind them: "There is a mine elevator ahead, but I saw traces of dragon activity on the top, and I'm afraid the noise of the elevator rising will attract his attention."

Kratos and Atreus' eyes moved, Kratos was alert, Atreus was excited but also a little afraid, but no one questioned Li You's judgment.

Kui Ye even asked: "What do you think?"

Kratos took the initiative to ask Li You about his plan, which was a rare thing. Obviously, Li You had a high degree of trust in Kratos. He also said: "Although the dragon activity nearby is bad news, there is also good news."

"Remember the curse on me? The one that works on certain people and makes them hate me? In addition to this curse, I have another similar one, but it only works on dragons."

Atreus understood: "So you mean..."

"Well, that dragon is my prey in the first place. Because of the curse, he will probably target me first. When the time comes, you guys just keep moving forward and find a safe place to get off. Yuzu and I will attract the dragon's attention and lead him to an open area to kill him."

"Oh..." Atreus obviously felt that this was not a good idea, but when he thought about it, Li You had originally told them not to interfere with his dragon hunting, so there seemed to be no problem.

It was Kratos who said, "Okay. But if you can't solve it and it affects us, don't blame us for interfering."

This means, if you two can't beat them, I will help.

Of course, Li You understood what Mr. Kui meant, and said with a smile, "Okay, no problem."

The four of them continued along the road, passing through the traps set by the giants in the past, and arrived at the mine elevator. Kratos pushed a heavy boulder on the elevator platform off the edge, and the entire platform immediately began to move upwards.

But there was a huge rock on the other side of the platform, so the elevator got stuck before it could go up very far.

Li You rubbed his hands and said, "I can move this thing..."

But Kratos stopped him: "No, there is a box on the stuck platform."

As he said that, he jumped over, smashed the lid of the box with one punch, and accurately took out valuable resources from the large amount of debris inside.

Li You: “…6.”

You looted more thoroughly than I did when I was playing games.

And how do you manage to accurately grab the resources you need?
"Okay, let's continue." Kratos jumped back onto the platform and said to Li You.

Li You was too lazy to complain. He came to another huge counterweight rock, put his hands on it, pushed hard, and pushed this rock into the abyss.

The elevator then continued to run.

"Li You, you are also very strong!" Atreus was a little surprised. "I mean, you don't look as strong as your father, but you are still so powerful... When can I be as strong as you?"

Li You looked at him and thought, "Do you want a strong body? Just take a shot of the special virus newly developed by our secret department, and I guarantee that you will instantly turn into a devil muscle man and can climb the 30th floor without taking a breath."

Of course, it was impossible to say that. Li You finally said, "You are still young. Maybe when you grow up, you will become stronger. After all, you have your father's example."

"Let's hope so." But Atreus didn't have high expectations.

As the freight elevator went up, some undead warriors jumped down from a high place and attacked them.

In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the elevator, Li You and Yuzi did not do OMO this time and directly joined the battle. As a result, the undead warriors were chopped off by Kratos, beheaded by Li You, and thrown off the platform by Yuzi, which hardly affected their journey.

When the top of the mountain, or rather the top of the cave, came into view, Atreus became excited: "We are almost there! Even if the dragon appears now, it can't stop us..."

"Stop for a moment." Li You interrupted the kid's flag-planting behavior and drew out the spiral sword, "There's movement."

Only then did Atreus notice that, except for himself, the other three had entered a state of combat readiness.

And the next moment, a violent roar came from the other side of the cave!
"Roar--!!"

There was a sudden flash of light, and a breath of yellow lightning pierced through the darkness from the shadows on the other side of the cave, heading precisely for the platform where the four people were!

At this moment, you can clearly see a huge dragon crawling on the mountain wall over there!
But everyone was prepared. Yuzu let out a low roar, raised the big shield in his hand, and blocked everyone!
"boom--"

The lightning quickly fell on the big shield, but the shield did not move at all. Instead, a magic circle emblem appeared on the shield, which absorbed part of the power of the lightning and reflected it back as a beam of light.

However, this counterattack had no effect on the huge dragon, and the light beam was also bounced off by its hard armor. The dragon roared and rushed over!

"Boom-!!"

The elevator platform suddenly shook violently, and the wooden structure under everyone's feet began to tear apart. Atreus was also shocked: "Father!"

"Don't panic!" Kratos responded loudly, asking Atreus to hold on tight.

Next to him, Li You had already pulled the longbow transformed from the spiral sword in his hand, and the dragon-hunting arrow was already on the bowstring, and then it whizzed out!

"call out--"

This dragon is called Leithelel, and it is a dragon that can use the power of thunder and lightning.

His shell is actually quite hard. In the game's plot animation, Kratos's Leviathan Axe did not cause any damage when it chopped it down. However, the dragon-hunting arrow used by Li You has a special attack against dragons, and he himself has the bonus of his title. With this charged arrow, even Lethral's hard shell was broken!

“Ah…!!”

The dragon-hunting arrow pierced into Leselel's skull, but unfortunately, even the size of the dragon-hunting arrow was too insignificant for the giant dragon whose head and body were tens of meters long. He did not suffer too much damage, but was instead enraged. His neck bulged, lightning flashed inside, and he was about to exhale again!
"Father, Li You! It's coming again!" Atreus reminded.

But Kui Ye just reminded him: "Pay attention."

Atreus then realized that he had subconsciously overlooked something: the grapefruit had disappeared without a trace. Similarly, the angry Lethrael did not notice this either.

next moment.

"Roar--!!!"

Another long and distant howl sounded, and from the other side of the dark cave, a huge figure crashed into Leselir!

"Boom!!"

After a loud bang, Retheler was also hit and his body trembled violently, and he was thrown to the other side of the mountain wall, and the black shadow pounced on it right after him. In the melee between the two, a huge gap was knocked open on the mountain wall next to them, and they immediately rushed out from it.

Li You looked at Mr. Kui and his son at this time: "Then as I said before, let us deal with this guy. You guys find a place to dock first. See you later."

As he spoke, he spread his phantom wings and flew towards the hole created by Lethral.
