Chapter 15: The Trap

June 2023

"I didn't expect the 19th floor of the Del Underground Palace to let us discover the treasure chest!" [Moonlit Night Black Cat Group Thieves] Dakar rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at the treasure chest in the center of the labyrinth room in front of him.

"Let's go! I didn't expect us to be so lucky, it seems that we can get a few more pieces of furniture in the union hut. "[Moonlit Night Black Cat Regiment Hammer Envoy] Tie Xiong was very surprised, you must know that treasure chests appear randomly in the labyrinth area room, and the probability of appearing is extremely low, if you use specific numbers, the chance of refreshing the treasure chest in the maze room is 0.15%

The items in the treasure chest, even if you have a black hand, will produce an item material worth at least 5W Kell, and the Moonlit Black Cats recently bought a union hut and used up almost all of their union savings.

Originally, the people of the Black Cat Group on a Moonlit Night didn't expect to buy some furniture and decoration in the empty hut in a short period of time, but if this treasure chest was obtained, they could even decorate the hut directly.

Although I haven't opened a treasure chest, everyone knows that the treasure chest is not easy to take, and I heard some rumors that there are basically guardian monsters near the treasure chest, so it's better to be careful.

"I don't think our strength can cope with it.,What if the monster is too difficult to fight.,I have inside information.,The guardian monsters near the treasure chest monster are generally about 3 levels higher than the number of layers they are in.,We can't beat it.,So we'd better call Kirito!" Sasamaru said with a little smugness, because he happened to have a friend who had encountered the treasure chest.

"Then tell Kirito to call Yukito. Tetsuo stretched out his hand and clicked on the virtual window projected in front of him.

"Let's wait now, stay here and don't wander around, if you leave this treasure chest and refresh it, you'll be out of luck. Sasamaru leaned lazily against the wall next to him and emphasized. ”

"Did they encounter the treasure chest?" Kirito was a little surprised, he knew that the appearance rate of the treasure chest was extremely low, and among the people he knew, only Tang Wenke's team had only encountered it once in the maze of the empty island for the first time, and he thought that he would simply help the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group take this treasure chest and then confess everything, he drank some wine yesterday but woke up at noon today, and now his brain is still a little confused.

"Urgent mission has been triggered: the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group is about to be wiped out because of the trapped box because Kirito concealed the rank, although Kirito heard your advice and is ready to confess the truth of everything, but it seems that something happened. The current moonlit night black cat group coordinates x: 1209y: β€”386z: 8796 task reward: 2 points points failure penalty: randomly transform into a female anime character for a week'

Quickly swallowed the black bread in his mouth, drank a bottle of water and smoothed his throat, "Ahem, cough, system, are you sure that the punishment for failure is not wrong?Shouldn't it be some kind of obliteration?" I almost choked to death by the black bread, and I got up.

"Host, you read the punishment right, erasing the host is an unreasonable behavior, it will consume the few energy resources of the system, and for the host, it seems that it is much more terrifying to transform into a woman. "The system is very indifferent and says terrible things.

I hurriedly took out the teleportation crystal, and wanted to teleport to the coordinates that the system said, "I'm sorry, the coordinates you teleported are in the labyrinth area, and you can only explore by yourself, and you can't teleport" The system's reminder made my heart half cold, and I quickly took the portal to the 19th floor, and then used the crystal to reach the entrance of the maze, and looked for the past according to the coordinates given by the system.

The labyrinth of Sword Art Online is large and complex, and the 19-story labyrinth is made up of dungeon rooms, which hide all kinds of monsters, traps, and of course, treasure chests.

The treasure chest encountered by the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night is a trap, this trap takes advantage of the player's greed, when the players are not calm enough to open the treasure chest directly, then the exit will be closed, and a large number of powerful monsters will appear in the dungeon.

The level of the monster is about 3 levels higher than the average level of the player's team that triggered the trapped chest, and the reason why the black cats on the moonlit night in the original book were wiped out was because Kirito hid his level, which caused the other members to be completely unable to resist the monster's attack, and finally all died!

"It's really unlucky, this task must be completed!" I pulled my hair a little frantically, this is a parkour dungeon, I've been stuck here for 5 minutes, I don't know if Kirito has opened the trap, you must hold on!

On the other side, "So, I'm going to open the treasure chest and see what treasures can come out!" Dakar looked at the team.

"Why do I have a sense of foreboding? Something doesn't feel right?" Kirito frowned, looked around, was there an ambush, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart,

"Don't open the treasure chest! That's a trap!" Kirito remembered, there is another kind of treasure chest called a trap box, but only some elite players know about it, so Kirito didn't care much, and now the inexplicable threat should be this treasure chest, Kirito who reacted and shouted anxiously.

"Click. But it was too late, and with the light of the treasure chest, the stone door at the exit slammed down, and at the same time, the eyes of the dozens of stone figures that they thought were decorative sculptures on the edge of the dungeon lit up with scarlet light.

"Damn!" Kirito took a step slower, just one step shorter, he could use his weapon to block the fall of the stone gate, thinking of the rumored trapped box, Kirito felt a burst of despair in his heart, the monster is 3 levels higher than the average level of the team, I will not be in danger of life, but, what should they do!

Dakar looked at the treasure chest that was empty, and then looked at the monsters that were gradually surrounding him, and couldn't help but stiffen his limbs, "Trapped, trapped, deceive, right!"

After a short period of fear, he suddenly remembered that the monster here was only 3 levels higher than himself, so he would not be killed, "Die!" While the stone man had not been fully activated, Dakar mustered up the courage to stab the stone man with the short sword in his hand, γ€Ž-9γ€γ€ŽTrap stone man lv??hp:2000』

With the damage value and monster attributes of the attack, Dakar was stunned, and the other members of the team were also shocked, the red light in the stone man's eyes jumped, and his hands were raised high, and a red glow was raised, which was a signal to attack!

"Trap Stone Man lv38hp: 2000" This is the data in Kirito's eyes, 3 levels higher than everyone in the team! Kirito roared angrily and rushed forward with regretful feelings.

"β€”1890" Dakar fell to the ground with a scream, and the other stone figures around him raised their fists and smashed down.

"Dakar! Don't!" Iron Hero roared, raising a hammer-shaped hammer at one end and a sickle-shaped hammer at the other, and rushed forward, "-10", a very low damage jump.

"Dakar! Escape Crystal!" Kirito shouted as he repelled the stone people who kept coming, there was only this way to get out of here quickly, the Escape Crystal was an extremely expensive item, more than 8 times more expensive than a similar prop Teleportation Crystal.

The Moonlit Black Cat Regiment has an escape crystal, and because it can escape immediately in an environment like the dungeon, it was given this price, because Dakar's agility is the highest in the team outside of Kirito, so the escape crystal is in Dakar's hands.

"Oh, oh, okay!" hurriedly took out the crystal and tried to crush it back to the city, "I'm sorry, you're in combat mode, please quit fighting mode and use this item!" The bright red hint stung Darkar's eyes deeply, and the stone man's fist fell.

Like many players who died in the game, Dakar's body collapsed weakly, and after only a second, it exploded into countless points of light and dissipated, adding one more person to the Black Iron Palace's death list.

"Dakar...."Kirito was stunned when he saw this scene, and fell to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes, and self-blame and remorse immediately surrounded him, and the monsters around him didn't give him time to be sentimental, and leaned over to the three surviving members of the Black Cat Group and Kirito on the moonlit night.

"Ahh

"Sasamaru.." Hearing the screams of his partner, Kirito's unconscious eyes came back to his senses, and he staggered to support his body and wanted to help, but he was smashed out by the oncoming stone hammer, and his state became worse than ever.

"Kirito, I'm coming" I shouted loudly when the stone door was opened by a mechanism outside, and then turned on the taunt skill in the sword, but fortunately the damage caused by everyone to the monster was not high, and I succeeded in attracting the hatred of a dozen stone people around me.

"Tang...."Kirito didn't have the slightest surprise of being saved, he desperately wanted not to die with Dakar, all of this was caused by his own reasons, but at the same time, he was also a little lucky, fortunately Tang Wenke arrived in time, otherwise the black cat group on a moonlit night today might be wiped out because of his own reasons, looking at the few stone people around him who were not ridiculed by Tang Wenke, Kirito rushed forward with his sword.

"Sword Technique: Sword Fan" flashed eight sword shadows in front of him, and he hit eight attacks at the same time at a very fast speed, and all the monsters around him were hit with the DEBUFF of "disability" and a "-1900" and "-2000" damage, and the two critical hits directly killed the machine stone man, taking advantage of the gap in the stone man's encirclement, I picked up Sasamaru who was surrounded by the stone man.

"Kirito!" I shouted

"Huh?" Kirito looked at Tang Wenke, a figure kept enlarging in his eyes, and Kirito was a little confused.

"Lose you Sasamaru!" I breathed a sigh of relief after sending Sasamaru out, and at the same time used my swordsmanship skills to severely damage the stone figures around me.
