On the first floor of the Ayn Grant world, on the faint labyrinth passage, the wind that blew from nowhere shook the torches on the walls, and the flames flickered and reflected on the damp stone slabs, reflecting two long shadows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kirito took a deep breath, looked at the enemy in front of him and smiled slightly bitterly, just after accidentally taking a sword, his HP instantly dropped to eighty, although this is not much overall, but this does not make him optimistic at all, because it means that he has taken two steps towards the abyss of death.

It's been two weeks since SAO opened the service.,Judging from Kirito's previous experience in the closed beta.,At this time, players should break through to the third or even fourth layer of the game.,After all, the speed of player upgrades in the early stage is very fast.,But now it's not to mention the third or fourth layer.,Even the maze area of the first layer is almost rarely reached.。

The real threat of death not only has serious punitive consequences for players, but also makes them more conservative in their game.

Take Kirito as an example, the half-human, half-beast monster with only the lizard's head and tail in front of him is not strong, it's just a miscellaneous soldier in the labyrinth area, and when he is in the internal test, he can definitely fight to get injured and quickly solve the other party, and it may never take more than a minute, but now that three minutes have passed, the monster still has half of its blood left, which was completely unimaginable before.

Fear of injury, so timid, so that the time of the battle is prolonged, but the prolongation of the battle time leads to an increase in the probability of the player making mistakes, and finally leads to a much greater possibility of death than before, this is a strange circle that all experienced players know, but now no one can break this spell, because there is only one life, even if you know that this is not right, who can not be afraid?!

Thoughts crossed his mind, and before the enemy's sword could attack again, Kirito jumped back and distanced himself from each other.

At this point, he has no good way but to hope that he will attack the boss of the first layer as soon as possible, and then build up the confidence of players and let everyone participate in the game's strategy.

With the double-edged sword in his right hand in the center of his body, Kirito took a pose and then rushed towards the lizardman with great speed.

"Horizontal phalanx slash!"

With a low roar, the sword in Kirito's hand slashed horizontally, and the blade stabbed deeply into the lizardman's thinner abdomen with aqua blue light effects, and the blow was successful, but Kirito didn't stop there, the sword quickly transformed, tearing the lizardman's chest again from left to right, and then the third and fourth slashes followed.

Four consecutive attacks draw a square of aqua blue light around Kirito and then spread out dazzlingly. This is the most important sword skill in SAO, and it is the only thing that players can rely on in this world without magic. With the help of the system, players can complete attacks with unimaginable movements, which is the key to their resistance to monsters with rough skin and thick flesh.

Bright light illuminates the walls of the labyrinth, then fades away. At the same time, the HP bar on the head of the lizard that was hit disappeared completely. Bright red light splattered out instead of blood, and with a heavy scream, the lizardman's huge green body struggled and fell backwards, stopping abruptly at an unnatural angle - and then there was a loud sound like glass shattering, and it exploded into tiny angular shards in front of Kirito.

This is the 'death' of this world, short, concise, a complete annihilation that leaves no trace, and although he has seen this scene more than once, Kiriri's heart is still full of throbbing, because he is not sure if the next time he will become like this.

Leaning against the wall of the maze and slowly sliding to the ground to rest, Kirito looked at the time shown on the timetable and smiled bitterly, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and if he didn't leave the maze now, he wouldn't be able to get back to town before dark.

I don't know if it's because the stealth system is too well developed, SAO is a game where players also need to rest, otherwise they can easily lose control of their bodies under the influence of fatigue value, and like most games, this monster generally has the blessing of ability in the dark, and almost no one will choose to fight at night unless necessary.

Despite knowing that a trip to the maze tomorrow would be a long delay on the road, Kirito's decision to rush back to town as soon as possible for safety reasons, after all, as a solo player, he didn't have a teammate who could keep vigil for himself at night.

But just as he was about to get up and leave, there was a strange noise from the other corner of the labyrinth not far away.

It's a mixed sound of sword impact and glass breaking.,It's mostly this sound when the average player fights.,It's strange because I've never heard such a dense sound in Kirito's impression.,-- SAO is a game that's very close to reality.,So most of its monster settings are strong individuals.,But there's no one in the online game.,Even those monsters that live in groups are so strong that they're very strong.,When you encounter them, players either take a detour.,Or lead out and kill them one by one., The kind that rushes directly is basically looking for death by itself.

Of course, if you wait for the player's level to rise up later, it will be another matter to rely on high ability values to return to the low-level area to crush it, but now that you haven't even broken through the first layer, how can there be such an existence?

Thinking that there was some new monster in the labyrinth area, Kirito quietly lurked towards the area under the encouragement of curiosity, but the sight he saw made his pupils shrink.

There were no new monsters at all, and the party fighting in front of him was the lizardman monster he had fought before, and not one, two, but as many as five, and only one figure was besieged by them.

"It's him!"

With short blond hair and golden and silver eyes, although he has only seen one time, Kirito will never forget the other party's figure for the rest of his life, because it is the black Grim Reaper who took the lives of hundreds of people on the first day of the service!

Holding his breath slightly, looking at Mo Wen who appeared in front of him again, Kirito subconsciously became vigilant, even if he had stealth skills, he didn't need to make this kind of action by himself in theory, but he still couldn't control himself, just like an ordinary person, after all, Mo Wen's impact on people was too profound, making people feel scared unconsciously.

I hadn't seen each other in any area before, and Kirito thought that this one had died at the hands of that monster because of carelessness, but looking at the scene of the battle in front of him, Kirito knew that he was still too naïve.

The other party is fighting, it's just playing!

Walking among the monsters, Mo Wen seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, leisurely dodging the monster's attacks again and again, obviously those lizardmen danced the scimitars in their hands, but they couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes, and on the contrary, Mo Wen's attacks were terrifyingly fast, and the continuous sword light seemed to be using sword skills all the time, constantly cutting at the lizardman's body, and after a while, a lizard monster screamed and was blown to pieces.

However, because the pace of progress has not stopped, only a moment later, Mo Wen came to the warning area of another monster, brandishing a scimitar, and another lizardman also joined the siege, and at this time, with Mo Wen's attack, a second screaming dead lizardman was born.

"Isn't it!"

Whispering softly, looking at the extremely efficient way of farming monsters in front of him, Kirito was completely shocked, and at the same time, his heart was full of doubts.

Is this really something that humans can do?

Although theoretically speaking, as long as a person reacts fast enough, is bold enough, and has enough combat experience, then he can indeed play combat like Mo Wen and use ordinary attacks as sword skills, but the reason why theory is theory is because he can't do it!

Kirito is already a master as a lone player, but if he dies, he can only dodge the attacks of two lizardmen at the same time, and no matter how much it is, it is impossible, and Mo Wen can dodge five monsters, which is almost ten times more difficult than him, after all, with the increase of monsters, the amount of prediction that needs to be predicted is increased geometrically, and to use ordinary attacks to play the effect of sword skills like Mo Wen, not only does it need to have a certain amount of martial arts experience, know how to attack in tandem, but also need to be far beyond the speed and agility of ordinary people, Kirito secretly estimated, If Mo Wen also has this level of strength in the real world, then the other party must be able to grab bullets with his bare hands, but how is this possible?

Looking at the scene in front of him, which was extremely unusual, Kirito, who didn't know the truth at all, suddenly recalled a rumor he had heard before.

The reason why the Black Reaper guy is so powerful is either because he is with Akihiko Kayaba, or because he has a plug-in in his hand.

This is the opinion of some players, and it is very marketable.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can easily take root and sprout, especially when Mo Wen's body flashes with the brilliance of upgrading twice in a row, Kiriti's heart is even more convinced.

Although Mo Wen's efficiency of farming monsters is very high, he can upgrade two levels in a short period of time, which means that the other party's level is not high, and it is not even as good as him, a lone player.

And in this kind of death game, there was no leveling before it was so powerful, so there are only two possibilities, one is that the other party has a plug-in in hand, so there is no need to upgrade or not, and the other is that the other party is related to Kayaba Jinghiko, and has been active in other areas before.

Because I never thought that someone was not afraid of microwave brain-burning, and could log in to the game normally one after another as if he died, Kirito's thinking gradually distorted, and slowly walked in the wrong direction, if he didn't know that he was not the other party, I'm afraid he would have gone out to question the other party at this moment.

And Mo Wen, who was fighting, didn't seem to notice that there was such a hidden hostile guy around him, killing the lizard monster all the way, and he gradually walked towards the depths of the labyrinth.
