CHAPTER XXXI

Trotting all the way to this town known as the town of the beginning, May finally put his mind at ease, fortunately the system is not really as undisciplined as he imagined - although the medicine is useless, but at least the food still works, well, although I don't understand how the data can fill the real stomach, but this kind of thing doesn't need May to worry about.

By the way, according to the information obtained from a guy caught in the town, it has been three months since SAO started, and at the end of the first month, the players successfully opened the area where the lord was located with the help of a certain "cheater", and successfully reached the second layer, and then, the players seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate, and began to work hard to try to clear the game, so the progress has been greatly accelerated, and in two months, the players on the front line have reached the twenty-sixth floor.

Unfortunately, although players can freely teleport to various levels that have been opened through teleportation crystals, May can't do that, perhaps due to system limitations, and he must personally arrive in a certain town before he can set up a teleportation point there and teleport.

According to the current progress, if you want to reach the fiftieth floor, players will need at least two months, that is to say, May only has two months, from the first floor to the fiftieth floor before everyone else and kill the lord, the task is difficult, but it is not impossible to complete, after all, the floor that has been cleared must have maps drawn by other players, which saves a lot of time, and May, unlike other players, has to start from scratch and slowly become stronger......

After all, since the system weakened May, it proves that May in its heyday was far above the highest level in this world.

So...... It's time to go!

Glancing at the map in his hand again, May is firmly heading towards his destination!

"Huh? Wrong? Where's the north? Why can't I find the north......"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Woo-a-a

"Help, help!"

As a wail came, May frowned slightly, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and rushed over without hesitation.

It's been a month since he came to this world, and in this month, May has quickly come to the twenty-second floor, but the number of layers that the frontline players have really opened up has only reached thirty-one, and this is a mistake in estimation before May, because he only considers the speed of clearing the level according to the player's current progress, but does not count the difficulty of increasing layer by layer, therefore, the higher the number of layers, the greater the difficulty of the strategy, and the longer it takes, which is naturally a good thing for May.

In the past month, May has also seen a lot of situations, whether it is players who have completely collapsed and completely retreated to the first layer of the starting town, or players who have overcome their fear and fought on the front line, working hard for everyone's clearance, and many more, hovering between the two, neither reaching the first line, nor completely despairing, not daring to go to unknown areas, but still trying to level up......

And May's most contact is naturally these guys who are not high or low, although they don't look down on them, but at least, they are still much more courageous than those cowards who squat in the town of Initiation all day long, plus, after all, they are just ordinary people, so when these people are in danger, May can still save them.

However, this time, it seems that he will not be needed......

The black-clothed swordsman had a cold face, quickly waved the long sword in his hand, and slashed the monsters that pounced on him one by one, and for each monster, he almost only made a sword, but he accurately hit the monster's vital point, and killed it in one sword. Although there are many monsters, they can't help him at all - if it weren't for the group of ordinary players around him, I'm afraid the monsters have already been killed by him alone.

It is worth mentioning that although the strength of the ordinary people is average, their fighting spirit is very commendable, and despite the help of the black-clothed swordsmen, they are not completely relieved, but firmly stand with the helpers against the enemy - well, well, I admit that they are not very useful.

Standing in the bushes and looking at it for a while, realizing that she was no longer needed, May simply turned around and prepared to leave, but before she could take a few steps, there was a scream behind her that almost broke through the sky!!

"Ah!!!!h

Quickly turned around and looked at the situation in front of him, it turned out that it was only a few steps away, and the ordinary players who were not strong enough to fight finally had a leak, and the girl in blue leather armor among them had somehow been pushed to the ground, and several lizardmen and mobs around jumped up at the same time, and stabbed her fiercely with the simple spear in his hand, while around, her companions only had time to let out an exclamation!

"Lucky !!"

And the black-clothed swordsman was stunned, but he couldn't get away from more mobs, even if he had ignored all the attacks and tried his best to pounce, but it was too late.

Those who have the ability to save have no chance, and those who have the opportunity to save have no ability, this is almost a dead end!

There was a loud bang, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the figures of the girl in blue and the three lizardmen monsters were completely shrouded in the smoke that was stirred up.

The girl's companion let out a few cries of pain and rushed into the smoke without hesitation.

The black-clothed swordsman couldn't help but shout, "Wait! Don't be impulsive! ”

In the next second, several black shadows had already flown out upside down!

The black-clad swordsman's heartbeat almost stopped, but then he could see clearly that the black shadow that flew upside down was not those players, but the three-headed lizardman mob from before.

"Hey, hey, I said, that's how you treat your lifesaver? It's too much! Or is it some special welcome ceremony? ”

The smoke and dust gradually fell, gradually revealing the figure inside.

A young man who didn't look too old was holding a strange greatsword that looked thicker than himself in one hand to parry the slashes of several players around him, while behind him, the girl in blue was sitting on the ground in embarrassment, looking frightened.

Before he had time to think about it, the little monster behind him had already chased after him with a strange scream again, and the black-clothed swordsman had to turn around and resist. When he completely cleared the light and turned around again, the young man had already walked away, leaving only a faint back.

"Ah...... Seems to be a good talker...... It's a pity that I didn't have time to ask his name......" Looking at the disappearing back, the black-clothed swordsman muttered slightly.
