Chapter 13 Switching
Ze Yi heard the loud and piercing metal scream, and when he heard it, he said in a slightly trembling voice, "What's going on?"
"You ask me, I'll ask who is going!"
Kirito said as he used the primary blood recovery potion to restore the amount of blood that had reached the yellow area.
At this time, the two reached a consensus in an instant, back to back to each other, and put the sword in their hands in front of them, guarding against the owner of the voice.
As the screams grew louder, the huge figure in the distance got closer and closer, gradually revealing its appearance.
The black belly has several green stripes on it, which looks intimidating. The cold bee needle with its tail sways in the air, looking like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, ready to harvest the player's life at any time. Coupled with a body up to 100 centimeters long, the whole looks imposing.
"Angry queen bee" is its name, along with two green HP strips a few centimeters long in the upper right corner of the view.
Seeing this huge poisonous bee, Zeyi was shocked and asked, "Wasn't the Field boss of the realm between the forest and the grassland already destroyed?"
At the key points of the outer area of each level, a MOB called "FieldBoss" is set up at the key points of each layer of Aingrunte, which serves as the gatekeeper of the level leading to the maze area.
The FieldBoss lair is flanked by cliffs or other barriers such as torrents, and it is impossible to advance extremely thin without defeating the boss.
In other words, the various levels of the floating city, which appear to be in the shape of a disc, are actually divided into multiple areas.
The FieldBoss between the grassland and the forest is a giant wasp with 3 HP bars, and it has two basic skills: "Biting" and "Stinging".
Until the HP of the three is reduced to one, it is no different from a normal Wasp except for its larger body.
But the problem is when the third HP bar appears, when Bumblebee will appear with the third skill "Command".
Because it is a "FieldBoss", the players of the strategy did not pay too much attention to the wasp's compound eyes that gradually turned red, and by the time they realized it, the crisis had already been created.
The huge wasp let out a piercing roar and activated the "Command" that had just appeared, and for a moment there was a dense "buzzing" sound around it.
Dozens of level 3 wasps appear around the player, surrounding them and firing their stings.
In one moment, about five players died, and the remaining health bars also dropped to the yellow zone.
If it weren't for the timely arrival of a player and joining this tragic strategy battle, I'm afraid that none of the players at that time would have been able to get out of that place.
When the news reached the town of Origin, it caused an uproar. Thankfully, the players of the strategy returned with victory, otherwise the desperate players would never have been left alone.
And now that terrible monster suddenly appeared in front of Zei and Kirito, they couldn't help but panic.
Zeyi looked at the queen bee who was only a few meters away from them suspiciously, "How could we provoke this guy?" ”
"How do I know?" Kirito broke his mouth, "This guy only has two HP bars, and he's not a FieldBoss, so he shouldn't have the perverted skill of "Command". ”
Looking at the 30-centimeter-long poisonous needle of the queen bee, and then at the 1-meter-long thin sword in his hand, Zeyi felt that he had no sense of security.
Unfortunately, the queen bee didn't care, she formed a < body, and then a buzzing vibrating sound came from her abdomen, and she swooped down quickly.
Zeyi endured the fear in his heart and confirmed the protruding state of the bee's abdomen with his amber eyes.
When he saw the huge poisonous needle sticking out of his buttocks, emitting a pale yellow light effect, Zeyi jumped up.
Click!
The poisonous needle that made this sound and protruded forward, stabbing only the cold air.
At this time, the queen bee had an attack stiffness, and Zei and Kirito took the opportunity to attack.
0.5 seconds
0.7 seconds
When Ze Yi silently recited in his heart for 1 second and stabbed the queen bee with his sword, the queen bee suddenly ended her attack and stiffened, biting Ze Yi's left arm.
The injured Zeyi hurriedly retreated, and at the same time observed that his HP had dropped by one-third, almost to the yellow zone, and the only thing he was fortunate about was that he did not trigger the debuff such as "poison".
Kirito on the other side slashed at the queen bee with his sword skills, dropping its first HP bar to the yellow zone, but he was also bitten by the queen bee, which was a bit more than worth the loss.
"Its attack is only stiff for 1 second, so we need to be more careful."
Zeyi shouted to remind Kirito as he struck a sword technique.
The faint blue light is accompanied by a pleasant system sound, and the sword skill accurately kills the poison bee's weak point - the connection between the abdomen and the poison needle, and empties the queen's first blood tank.
As the queen bee's first HP slot went blank, she screamed and flew into the air again. After a rapid maneuver, he advanced again.
This time, the body is still in < shape. Zeyi stared at the giant poisonous needle on the enemy's tail, and dodged it with a sideways move before the queen bee attack was about to hit.
It's a pity that he was one step slower and was pricked by the queen bee's poisonous needle, and this time he was not as lucky as last time. Not to mention that the amount of HP is reduced by one-third, it is also attached to "poison".
Although it is said that the poisonous bees here all carry toxins, there is a clear level setting for the strength of the "poison" attribute in SAO.
According to the level of SAO, ordinary poisonous bees carry a level of "weak poison", while the queen bee's toxin is a higher level of "mild poison".
"Light Poison" lasts for 10 seconds and reduces the poisoner's HP by 20 per second. These amounts of blood are not too dangerous to put aside in normal times, but at this moment, they are a catalyst for death.
After all, the poisoner either concentrates on keeping an eye on the queen bee's movements to prevent its next attack; EITHER DISTRACT FROM THE "POISON" DEBUFF.
The former may inadvertently ignore the continuous bleeding of "poisoning", and is very likely to bleed and die; The latter has the potential to give the queen bee a chance to be fatally killed by a single blow.
But the only thing that is fortunate is that Zeyi is not alone.
Kirito reminded in a hurry, "Use the antidote potion quickly."
"What about you?"
While blocking the queen bee's attack, Kirito loudly reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense! If you don't get rid of the poisoning, we're both going to die today. ”
Zeyi quickly pulled out the window, took out a bottle of antidote, and drank it. Since it is a small disinfectant, it can only temporarily alleviate the "light poison", and if you want to completely eliminate it, you need to use another bottle.
ALTHOUGH ZEI WOULD LOVE TO ELIMINATE THIS DANGEROUS DEBUFF COMPLETELY, REALITY TELLS HIM THAT HE CAN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE KIRITO WON'T LAST LONG.
Looking at Kirito again, after blocking the impact of the queen bee, he used the queen bee's attack to stiffen and was taking a short break.
Seeing Zeyi, who had temporarily relieved his poisoned state, Kirito said with a serious face: "Later, we will use the attack switch to kill it."
"Attack switch?"
Ze Yi was stunned for a moment, he had always been alone for the sake of efficiency, and the only time he had fought side by side so far was this time, and he didn't know what attack switching was.
"Deliberately creating a short gap in battle and swapping places with your companions is called "switching."
After saying it loudly, Kirito took the lead in rushing over, and after Zeyi nodded heavily to show understanding, he also rushed over.
The queen bee swooped down as well, her whole body in a straightened state, and her huge jaws pounced on Kirito.
Kirito blocked Queen Bee's bite with his blade and shouted at the same time.
"Switch!"
