SAO World, July 21, 2024, 35th Floor, Lost Forest.

"You have that lizard to give you a reply, so you don't have to give you the recovery crystal." In a wooded forest, a woman with a mature female body said casually to a certain Lori with a small winged dragon on her head.

"You are! If you don't go to the front line, do you need crystals? Lori, who has a small ponytail, shouted at the big sister with her hands on her hips.

"Of course I do, I'm not like the girl idol Sirika, there is a man to reply to you." The adult woman curled her fingers around the bangs in front of her and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hey, ...... two"

Although there were other teammates around him who were adjusting, after some quarrels, Celica still left a sentence "I don't need props, and I will never team up with you again, there are so many people who want to team up with me!" He walked alone in the direction of the town, and disappeared into the sea of trees in the forest.

After an hour or two, night fell, and the whole forest was embraced by darkness, except for a few glowing plants that were doing their best to spread light.

"Hey, there's someone fighting over there." Yukikaze was walking in the forest, walking casually, when he suddenly heard the sound of a battle not far from him, "Just go over and have a look." ”

Leaving the team without permission, Sirika entered the forest alone and encountered a huge crisis, she was surrounded by a group of ape monsters, and only half of her health was left.

However, with the recovery skill of the winged dragon "Bina", for the time being, Sirika has not yet reached the point of despair. Well, it's really only temporary, because in the next moment, Silica, who was hit home plate by the ape monster, instantly dropped from green to red.

Oops, the current amount of health, even one hit ......

Silica, who wanted to recover her HP, dug into her item bag and found that her recovery items were gone.

"Ahh Looking at the rod that was about to fall, Sirika cried out in almost despair.

And at this moment, Bina, who had been hovering beside her, rushed over and blocked in front of Sirika. Positioned as a rear auxiliary demon, Bina can't withstand a blow from an ape monster even if she is a winged dragon. As long as this big stick hits Bina's body, then its HP will be reduced to zero.

But just as the stick was about to be added, the ape monster shattered into pieces and disappeared into the void. And along with this scene, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air. Subsequently, the ape monsters surrounding Sirika and Bina were almost completely wiped out at the first time.

Sirika hugged her demon for the first time, and then checked it anxiously, and found that Bina did not have any injuries on her body, and after her blood volume did not drop at all, she breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that the ape monsters surrounding her had all disappeared.

In the distance, a Lori in a black gothic dress was strolling away, as if she hadn't done anything at all. However, there is only one player here except for Celica herself, so the truth speaks for itself.

That's right, Xuefeng and others also have player logos, which is to better act in the game.

"Well, please wait." Celica saw that Lori was thinking about leaving from afar, ignoring other questions in her heart, and shouted, "You saved me and Bina just now, thank you very much!" ”

"Well, my name is Celica, may I ask what your name is?"

After hearing Sirika's inquiry, Lori, who had a black double ponytail, turned her head and looked at Sirika with her blood-red eyes for a while, and then said indifferently: "My name?" My name is Yukikaze. ”

Dragon's Sirika? It seems that he accidentally robbed Kirito of his chance. Anyway, since I took over the commission, this kind of thing was expected.

It's just that he actually encountered the same incident as Kirito.,Should it be said that it's the will of the world?

"Snow Wind?" After repeating the name of the snow wind, Celica frowned and thought for a while, "This name is so familiar, I always think I've heard of it somewhere?" ”

Is the name Snow Wind? Black double ponytails? Black gothic dress? All of this information seemed to point to someone extremely famous, but Celica didn't remember who the other party was.

“…… Ah, please wait! At this time, Celica, who saw Xuefeng walking away, put down the demon in her hand, and immediately stood up and ran after Xuefeng.

From the beginning, Yukikaze, who had the intention of saving people casually, after saying his name, planned to leave here and go to find the guild hut of the orange guild "Titan's Hand" in the information provided by Kirito.

In other words, since Yukikaze reached a commission with Kirito, Kirito finally remembered who Yukikaze and the others were. Seeing that Kirito had regained his memory, Yukikaze told Kirito part of the truth and agreed that Kirito would add his account to his friends list.

Anyway, as long as Yukikaze wants to, all the functions for friends will fail, so there is no need to worry about being harassed by Kirito's and others.

However, after Kirito learned the truth of this game, he struggled for a long time, but finally accepted the facts. At the same time, I also understood that if you want to clear this game, there are only three ways: dedicate at least 6,000 people's lives as sacrifices to summon the gods, or men can get through 100 floors, and plug-in recharge to the account.

After that, Kirito occasionally helped Yukikaze complete some in-game commissions, and then got some items from Yukikaze as a reward.

"I've already found half of the area of this forest, is there still half of the area left?" Looking at the map in front of him, Xue Feng said indifferently, "If the information is not wrong." Of course, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, you can advance the progress of the training when you go back. ”

Celica, who had already come to Xuefeng's side, trembled after hearing the second half of Xuefeng's words, as if she saw some unfortunate person unstoppably sliding towards the abyss: "That, that ......"

"Is there something wrong?" Xue Feng glanced at Celica beside him, and turned back to do his own thing. Xuefeng is not an idiot or Lori control.,As a genuine Lori,For a little Lori's sticking to the door,There's almost no reaction.。

Although I feel that the other party's attitude is not good, but for some reason, I feel that it is normal and I don't need to care. Celica categorized it as the reason why the other party was strong: "That, can I go with you?" I...... I'm ...... alone."

"Oh, if you want to follow, just follow along." In this regard, Xue Feng, who knew the other party's thoughts, just responded casually. Saving people to the end and sending Buddha to the west is just a way for me anyway.

Watching Xue Feng kill the monster in front of him with a few swords in his hand, Celica looked at Xue Feng beside him with almost admiration, although he looked about the same size as himself, but his strength was very different.

The other party should be a member of the strategy team, right? It's really powerful, Celica, you can't admit defeat, one day you can do it to this extent! By the way, she came to the thirty-third floor, there should be something. What is it?

Therefore, although Yukikaze's route clearly deviated from the way back to the city, the protected Sirika had various things in her mind and did not react to Yukikaze's route.

After several laps in the forest, a small wooden house finally appeared in front of the two of them. The sign on the cabin clearly indicates that this is a guild hut, and that this guild is still an orange guild.

"Looks like this is it, the guild hut of the Orange Guild 'Hand of the Titans'." Xue Feng chuckled, and then took out another sword with the same pattern as the Mo Dao type sword in his hand, "I hope everyone is here today, otherwise it will be very difficult for me if one or two people get away." ”

When Sirika saw the wooden house and recognized the meaning of the sign, she was startled, and a lot of bad thoughts suddenly came to her mind. But most of these thoughts disappeared as soon as they came to her head, because beside her was a Lori who looked lovelier, more beautiful and noble than herself.

"The Orange Guild? Yukikaze, what are you...... What are you doing?! He exclaimed in surprise when he saw that Yukikaze beside him had combined the two swords together to form a war bow that was much taller than Yukikaze's own.

"What to do? It's as simple as sending them to prison. As Xue Feng said casually, he let go of his right hand that was holding the bowstring, and a pure arrow of light slashed through the void in an instant, shattering the door of the hut completely.

The guild huts of ordinary guilds are systematically protected, but the orange and red guilds are not among them.

"You guy is ......" The miscellaneous soldiers who rushed out finished the classic debut lines, or should it be said to be the death lines? In short, Xue Feng didn't wait for the others to finish speaking, and went straight in.

Of course, Yukikaze didn't kill the other party, but just cut off everyone's legs, making it impossible for them to escape for the time being.

"Who the hell are you? Why attack us? The adult woman who had fallen out with Celica before that asked in a fierce voice, "Aren't you afraid of killing us, Red Name?" ”

"Although I think it's okay to kill you directly......"

Xuefeng's words made Sirika and everyone present tremble, because Xuefeng's tone was not at all casual talk, but could really kill at any time.

"It's just that I took a commission to take all of you to prison. So I won't kill you, but your future will be spent in prison. Yukikaze's next words silenced Sirika, but made the others continue to tremble.

"The client must be very clear to you, so I won't say more. In this game of death, there are still people who can abide by their own morality after others kill their friends. ”

Xue Feng said with a hint of admiration, not worried that the other party would take this opportunity to launch the teleportation crystal, because at the moment before the attack, Xue Feng used the administrator authority to locate the teleportation crystal ineffective area.

"Should I say that I really deserve to be human? So I only took all the experience of the other party's level as a price, and helped him complete this commission. ”

Because the members of the Orange Guild, who often travel back and forth to various floors to find prey, know that there is a tourist guild leader who was once wiped out by himself and others, and has been looking for someone to avenge them at the forefront.

A few of them, who had just laughed at each other before this, focused on clearing the strategy group, no one would avenge him, and the result was that he was directly slapped in the face the next moment.

"Who the hell are you?" At the moment before the cloister crystal was activated, although she had already guessed it in her heart, the adult woman who was the president still asked through gritted teeth.

"I am Yukikaze, the owner of the Watchman Dragon's House."
