Although the strategy process of the second layer is a bit thrilling, under the command of the leader named Chu Xuan, the real boss is told in advance that the real boss is "Taurus King Asterus" instead of the original Taurus Admiral Balun The General Taurus, and the trigger condition of the maze boss is that the Taurus Admiral's health bar will not appear until the last one.

Under his command, the Raiders team, including Kirito, managed to avoid being "stunned".

In SAO, there are only two situations when you are attacked by monsters.

The first is when the health bar is lost after being attacked, which is an attack that directly deals damage.

The other is that it does not deal direct damage and does not deduct the player's HP, but will enter a state such as stun, paralysis, etc.

The first layer may be Akihiko Kayaba, considering the novice stage, most of the wild monsters in it do not have debuff attacks, and only kobold thieves will have a very low probability of triggering the paralyzing effect.

Once the player enters a negative state, they can only use treasures such as recovery crystals unless they wait for its effect to end on its own, but unfortunately, those high-level items will not be available at all if they are not on the upper floors.

And at the beginning of the second layer, there were wild monsters that completed the stun effect, that is, the Minotaur clan, once they were stunned, it was a very dangerous result, and Chu Xuan didn't know where the intelligence information about the boss came from, but An Yi knew that these materials were obtained by completing the mission based on the location of the mission deduced from the original plot.

There are quests to pick up in the woods near the second layer of the maze area, and after completing it, you will get detailed information about the boss in the maze area.

Because of this, the suspicion caused by impersonating the Zhongzhou team was perfectly cleared, and Chu Xuan's external reply was that he had heard this name and was very interested, so he thought that no one used it, but he didn't expect to meet this game studio here and announce that it would be renamed the Demon Team.

Yes, these 17 reincarnation squads from Infinite Terror, the unified explanation to the outside world is the names of different game studios, and these teams are all gold mining teams and game teams that they know in reality.

For Chu Xuan's explanation, players who don't know the inside story, for example, although the beta players wonder why they have never heard of these game studios, but this explanation is also acceptable, plus Chu Xuan has always created an excellent image, basically no one will investigate any details.

In this regard, Neos and the others hated it so much, but they were helpless, after all, Chu Xuan's reason was closely related to everyone, if he insisted on refuting him, it would lead to flaws in everyone's external explanations, and it would be troublesome if it caused confusion about the original character template.

I have to say that Chu Xuan has been operating very well in public relations, and has worked hard to create an excellent image of a leader.

During the second layer, he not only solved the data problem of the maze boss, but also discovered and solved the mystery of the broken weapon forging, and revealed the truth of the forging fraud, which not only recovered the player's losses, but also added a lot of aura to him and the demon team he led.

Chu Xuan, who had all kinds of deeds, naturally became the leader of the team, and although the other teams were not in harmony, they had to give in under the general trend, but Neos was the only one who had always been vigilant against Chu Xuan.

He was the only person who was face to face at close range at that meeting, and he clearly remembered the strange behavior that appeared on Chu Xuan's body at that time, and the system notification that the first layer of the maze boss strategy was successful then appeared.

To say that the two are just a coincidence, Neos is not at all convinced.

Neos, who had elegant golden hair and a unique temperament of the Western race, squinted at Chu Xuan intently with crimson eyes.

If it were another person, he would still believe that it was a coincidence, but only Chu Xuan, this person was definitely planning something, but he would not be able to find a flaw for a while.

However, now he had reason to suspect what Chu Xuan was planning to do.

"I have a reason to refuse your request for the B team I lead to withdraw!" Facing Chu Xuan's request, Neos refused without hesitation: "Whether it is the player's HP or 'Cool Time' is above the safety line, your request is unreasonable." ”

"Or ......," Neos smiled meaningfully, "are you planning something again?" ”

Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and didn't say a word, just stared at him, and Neos, who looked at him without a trace of emotion, couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"Boring little cleverness." I don't know if it's an illusion, Neos vaguely heard the other party say such a sentence, and when he was about to refute, Chu Xuan pushed his glasses again and said lightly.

"Your question, I can tell you accurately that it is wrong, the reason why Team B retreats at this time is because in my calculations, I can determine that the next wave of Taurus King's attack is more than 80% of the probability of range stun, does not letting you retreat at this time increases the risk chance?"

"Can this kind of thing really be calculated to this extent?" Kirito whispered to Asuna.

Although I know that some high-end players, including himself, can occasionally calculate the enemy's next attack through the way the boss attacks, but this situation is a bit exaggerated to think if it is accurately calculated.

"......" Neos said a word with a calm face, although he was a little unhappy, but he also knew that what Chu Xuan said was really not, but he couldn't just compromise like that, because he always felt that something was wrong, and the boss's blood bar was only the last small section, and because of this, the attack would have a berserk attack such as a range stun, but ...... What's wrong there?

"If there are no objections, ask the leader of Team B to immediately lead the players out of the strategic position." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and gave instructions mercilessly.

"You guy......" Neos' eyes narrowed slightly, wanting to say something, and then his eyes suddenly calmed down: "Okay, as you wish." ”

When he passed by Chu Xuan, he left a sentence in a low voice: "I have already caught a little footprint left by you, don't think that you can be proud for too long, I will keep an eye on you." ”

Chu Xuan lowered his head slightly, as if he ignored Neos's words, he slowly pushed his glasses, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"Huh."

……

When the men of Team B began to retreat in an orderly manner under the command of the Taurus King's sword skills, one of the team members suddenly found that there was an extra person next to him, wearing the same equipment as a gorgeous and delicate dress.

"Hey! What are you doing? Why haven't you retreated yet? ”

Instinctively, he asked curiously, and then suddenly remembered something......

Where did this person come from!

An Yi glanced back at him, revealing a warm smile, and he stretched out his index finger to his lips elegantly:

"Quiet, watch me pretend."
