Chapter 14: Killing

"Switch!"

Kirito stepped back as he shouted, while Zei took advantage of the queen bee's attack to stiffen and unleash his sword technique, slashing out one-third of the queen bee's health with a single sword.

The pain-biting queen bee screamed and attacked again, but was blocked by Zeyi with a thin sword.

"Switch!"

Kirito took a step forward, and the fiery red blade slashed at the queen bee from top to bottom, directly erasing one-third of the queen's health.

At this point, the queen bee's health bar has dropped to the yellow zone, and one more sword attack will cause death. But Kirito and Zeyi didn't relax at all, their nerves were even tighter than before.

No one can guarantee that this "Angry queen bee" has any hidden skills.

So the two of them carefully guarded against Queen Bee's skills, and after a few turns, Queen Bee's HP bar reached the red zone.

Nervous sweat flowed from Zeyi's face, and even the hand holding the thin sword became trembling at some point. He was really afraid that the queen bee would unleash her hidden skills and take away the remnants of their blood.

The danger of death did not come in the end, and even though the queen bee was about to die, she still did not release her hidden skills, and Ze Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this.

"Also, after all, it's just a trigger-type monster, and it can't have a hidden skill that a boss has."

Kirito blocked the queen bee's attack, and at the same time, Zeyi switched and easily killed the queen bee with one sword.

With the pleasant sound of the system, the queen bee's entire huge body shattered into polygonal pieces.

EXP+1000

Kell +1000

Cheniv's test ×1

"What the hell is Cheniv's test piece?" Zeyi clicked on the dark green item on the dropped panel with his right hand in confusion.

It was a dark green object, and it looked like a ring, but the ring was surrounded by tiny spikes, which looked very strange.

Zeyi tried the equipment, but was told that it was a mission item and could not be used.

"What the hell is this thing for!"

Kirito walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Zeyi asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Kirito embodied an item in his sight and threw it to Zei.

Ze Yi subconsciously clicked, and his attributes instantly appeared in Ze Yi's sight.

Blast sword +0

Number of enhancements remaining: 10

ATK +40

Attack Speed [SPT] +30%

Agility [AGI] +10

Durability: 100/100

"Wind Sword!" Zeyi looked at Kirito in surprise, "You don't even want this thin sword?" ”

"The weight of my equipment is almost full, and that thing is useless to me anyway, so you can dispose of it as you like."

As he spoke, Kirito took out some white bread, held a piece of it in his mouth, and handed it to Zeyi. Zeyi, on the other hand, took out a small pottery jar and touched the lid with the fingers of his right hand.

A pop-up menu floats up, and after selecting "Use", the tips of your fingers glow light purple. This is the "object lock mode" callout state, so he touches the white bread he is holding in his left hand with his right hand.

Suddenly, with a slight effect sound, one side of the white bread was dyed white, and although it didn't look much different from the other, the taste was completely different.

The small clay pot contained the reward that Zeyi had received after accidentally discovering and completing the task of "Counterattacking Cow".

There are very few players taking on the quest there, perhaps because it takes so long.

After applying the cream, Zeyi took a bite of the bread, and the rustic cake flavor spread in his mouth, the cream was sweet and smooth, with a refreshing and sour taste like yoyo.

"It's delicious."

This delicacy, which is eaten after the battle on an empty stomach, is not only more unpalatable than usual, but also alleviates the fatigue of the battle.

Zeyi ate his own white bread in an instant, and then looked at Kirito on the other side with greedy eyes.

Kirito ate and chew slowly, and there is still 1 piece of white bread left. However, after seeing Zeyi's gaze, he quickly finished the last piece, without the elegance at the beginning.

"Hey, you're so afraid that I'll rob you?"

"I just think it's time for you to cut back on your meals."

"How is that possible, it's you who should be reduced!"

After the life-and-death battle just now, Zeyi and the young man next to him developed a deep friendship. Each other knows each other's IDs.

But the two of them looked like the same kind of people, the kind of players who were used to being alone, so no one proposed to form a team.

After returning to the town, Zeyi ran to the blacksmith shop, eager to strengthen the weapon and prepare for the future boss raids.

Kirito is not interested in this, after all, his current weapon is enough to deal with the boss of the first layer, so the two are separated in the town.

Walking down the bleak street to the blacksmith's shop, Zeyi was blocked by a figure.

With her curly blond-brown hair under a gray cloak and her trademark beard, Zeyi instantly recognized her as the rat of the day, and of course, her thick, piercing nasal voice.

"Can you give me that thing?"

Zeyi was a little puzzled, "Something." ”

Argo thought that Zeyi wanted a reward, and snorted coldly, "Say, what are your conditions?" ”

"On what terms?" Zeyi looked at Argo even more suspiciously, "Is your brain broken?" ”

After making sure that Zeyi wasn't playing with her, Argo said, "Chenif's test specimen."

It turned out that Argo had accepted a series of missions, the last of which was to find Cheniv's test specimen, and the only hint she was given was the four bold words "Destroy the Bees", which really made her scratch her head.

She also asked another friend (Kirito) if she had dropped a dark green item during the Battle of Bumblebee, and she was overjoyed to learn that it really was. But then she was told that the dark green necklace was called "Cheniff's Test Object", which was only one word different from the name of the item she was looking for, which made her depressed for a long time.

She searched the forest for a whole week, but to no avail.

Of course, this is not to blame her, because the "Angry Queen Bee" is extremely difficult to trigger.

This quest only appears after killing a bumblebee, and requires a total of 50,000 poisonous bees to be killed.

The original arrival had already killed quite a few players, but the quest didn't trigger due to their eagerness to enter the experience-rich maze area. This is why Zeyi and Kirito happened to encounter each other later.

Of course, Argo didn't know it at the time, and she even thought that this serial quest was a hoax, an unfinished product when it was originally designed.

It wasn't until Zeyi triggered the Poison Bee that she finally realized that this task was actually a related task.

A related task is the goal of a task that appears only when another related task appears.

In the penultimate part of the chain of quests, you need to complete another quest, "Angry Queen Bee", and after killing the Poison Queen, "Cheniv's Experiment" will be dropped.

When she first received the news, she was still ready to "complete the task even if it takes too much".

Thankfully, it was Zeyi who promised to help her, and she didn't have to be in a wrestling affair with other players.

"Can you give me the Cheniv's test piece?"
