At night, the forest is dark and deep, but it is not silent at all.

In SAO, monsters don't sleep even at night, and groups of monsters swagger through the forest.

Because the vision is not clear, it is more deterrent than during the day.

Xia Qianshi squatted on a big tree, staring at the bottom of the tree, a gust of night wind brushed his cheeks, and there was a slight coolness.

Xia Qianshi had already taken off his fiery knight uniform at this time, changed into a pitch-black night suit, and hid in the darkness.

After using the 'Hide' skill, the concealment rate is as high as 90% depending on the environment.

Hordes of monsters passed under his nose, but he was calm and unmoved.

He's waiting for a monster called Goblin King.

Goblin King is a layer 8 boss, and its height of two meters makes it appear 'petite' among many bosses, making it suitable for assassination.

According to his calculations, every night at 9:58 p.m., a group of 13 Goblin Kings would pass under the tree.

At this time, it will be 9:30 p.m., and there will be 28 minutes before the monsters arrive.

The waiting time is extremely long, but the most important thing Xia Qianshi lacks is patience.

What's more, he's been like this for the past 15 days.

"Bang dang!"

"Bang dang!"

The 11 Goblin Kings walked over, causing Xia Qianshi's pupils to shrink slightly.

There are 2 fewer than expected, which means that this group has fought with other monsters before.

Won, but also lose 2 companions.

Correspondingly, the level and attributes of the surviving monsters have also increased.

However, this was not enough to make Xia Qianshi change his plans.

When a Goblin King who fell behind passed under the tree, with the "rustle" sound of the wind blowing the leaves, Xia Qianshi had already appeared behind it.

Short Knife Technique - Secret Attack!

The dagger-like dagger slashed into the back of the Goblin King's head, and the moment it was pulled out, the weapon changed from a dagger to a rapier.

The fiery red sword skill light on the thin sword completely illuminated the night, Xia Qianshi maintained a Western fencing posture, and stabbed forward-

In an instant, the flaming sword pierced the heart of the Goblin King!

Rapier Skills - Shine the Spark!

The short knife and the thin sword intertwined with brilliance in the air, and in an instant, Xia Qianshi had already used two sword skills, which were the skill combinations that he could kill the Goblin King in the shortest time after calculation.

The Goblin King's corpse turned into debris and disappeared, and only then did the remaining Goblin Kings react and roar and attack Xia Qianshi.

The Goblin King's body is extremely thick, and a glittering mace in his hand is full of spikes, which left players with very painful memories when they first conquered it.

Xia Qianshi had no intention of fighting them head-on, and with a sweep of his body backwards, he blended into the darkness and hid behind a big tree.

Concealment rate 10%...... Concealment rate 30%...... Concealment rate 50%......

When the concealment rate reaches 80%, the Goblin King, who is looking for his father's enemy, is angry and continues to hurry forward as if nothing had happened.

Xia Qianshi appeared from the darkness again, like a messenger of the night, harvesting the life of the Goblin King.

……

This kind of killing lasted for nearly an hour, and only 3 Goblin Kings were killed by Xia Qianshi.

The record is remarkable, but Xia Qianshi is a little dissatisfied.

According to his plan, it was supposed to be this night to slaughter the Goblin King.

But because of the increase in the other party's level, the plan has changed a little.

If you go any further, you'll enter the activity zone of other monsters.

It's a human-faced snake-body monster called 'Naga King'.,The gatekeeper boss on the 49th floor.,It's not strong in itself.,But it has a metamorphosis obstruction skill.。

Poisonous, frog-changing, petrified...... These skills torture players unspeakably.

Xia Qianshi and the others also wasted a lot of effort to kill it.

Now there is only one of them, but the Naga King has two, and under normal circumstances, he would not be their opponent.

Do you want to let go of this experience and increase the strength of the already strong Naga King?

"Shh————!h

With the sound of the bushes being pushed away, Xia Qianshi rushed out of the bushes.

At this time, he had already changed into a set of ink-colored full-body armor, held a black big sword, and rushed straight into the center of the three goblin kings!

"Ahh————!h

Discovering Xia Qianshi's uninvited guest, the three goblin kings roared in unison, and the mace full of barbs in their hands waved down brazenly!

Looking at the three monsters that flew towards him, Xia Qianshi just clenched the hilt of the big sword with both hands, and used the strength of his waist to twist his upper body to the extreme, and a cyan light began to shine on the big sword.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three maces, which were enough to beat people to the point of bursting their brains in reality, hit Xia Qianshi's head, but he was not moved at all, and the combat recovery skill instantly filled up the HP value he had dropped.

At this moment, the sword technique he had been accumulating for a long time was finally completed, and the cyan sword skill light exploded in the center of the three monsters like a tornado!

Great Sword Technique - Hurricane!

When the cyan blade storm dissipated, the three Goblin Kings were long gone.

Under the huge level difference between the two sides, even the former gatekeeper boss can only be killed in seconds.

Tonight's mission is completed, Xia Qianshi returns to the cave as a temporary base, lights a bonfire, prepares to make some dinner, and then sleeps.

The bonfire burned with branches, making a subtle popping sound of 'creaking', and next to the bonfire were three fish strung with branches, which was the dinner that Xia Qianshi had prepared for himself.

His cooking skills are only level 1 so far, and the food he makes is naturally not delicious, but only swallowable, which makes him miss Asuna's cooking very much.

"I don't know what happened to them......"

In this ghost place, Xia Qianshi has been trapped for 15 days.

"The guild is not here, and I don't know if there will be any trouble......"

Xia Qianshi's heart was very confused.

The Ayn Grant Liberation Army is a behemoth, and because it is huge, it is more likely to cause chaos.

The president has mysteriously disappeared for half a month, and although the metal tablet of the [Resurrection Room] can prove that he is still alive, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate.

Xia Qianshi has never been like this, and he can't wait to return to the guild, but this is impossible.

The monsters in this forest are not small monsters that can be slaughtered by people, even if with Xia Qianshi's level attributes, he can kill any boss group below level 20, but there is another factor that restricts him - that is, equipment durability and logistics supplies.

Xia Qianshi was very happy, because of his special fighting style, he had several sets of equipment in his backpack at any time.

If it were an ordinary player, I'm afraid that I would have died a long time ago because the durability of the equipment was reduced to zero.

But even so, he had to avoid head-on contact with monsters as much as possible to minimize the durability of his equipment.
