The day after the celebration banquet, Zheng Shuanglong and Argo carried a large number of purchases on their backs and planted themselves in the labyrinth area on the second floor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After five days of sleepless struggle, under the escort of Zheng Shuanglong, a powerful one-handed swordsman, intelligence expert Argo finally completed the exploration of the second layer of the maze and discovered the room of the boss located in the depths of the maze.

Then, after five days of hard work, the two quickly left the maze area without even a short test of the boss's attack and defense mode.

After all, five days of intense exploration can consume a person's spirit very much, and who knows if there will be mistakes in fighting in such a mentally demanding situation. And in boss battles, a mistake means death.

In the case of only one life, it is better to be cautious, and, most importantly, the Void Brigade is not ready for the boss battle. Weapons, armor, supplies, enhancements, in short, there's a lot to do.

Therefore, after returning from the labyrinth area, after a little rest for a day, Zheng Shuanglong's Void Brigade began to get busy. Under the command of the Ice Maiden Claire, they were divided into several teams and quickly carried out various preparations, striving to do their best.

After all, boss battles are not just the kind of thing that can be done by wielding weapons to fight, but there are a lot of complicated preparations behind it. And these detailed, assistive, and complex preparations are the key to really determining the outcome of the boss battle.

It is precisely because of these careful preparations that when you attack the boss, you will not make that kind of low-level mistake.

And if you want to use the Void Brigade with Lixia, Fei, Theo, Claire, Shino Asada, Asuna, and Zheng Shuanglong as the main combat force to attack the boss of the second layer of the maze area, there will be more equipment work to be done.

If you don't do a good job in all aspects, you will go to the boss, which is not to attack the boss, but to give away the head.

For this reason, a powerful batch of weapons and equipment is necessary, as is a surprising amount of supplies, and the consumption of a large number of Coles is absolute. A series of busy preparations are indispensable.

…………

Probably because sword skills are the biggest selling point of SAO, where the variety of humanoid monsters is much higher than the average RPG game.

However, this tendency is only relative, after all, although some non-human monsters are not as powerful as humanoid monsters, but after attaching some dangerous negative effects, they are much more terrifying than humanoid monsters in hunting.

Moreover, it is not only that monsters with such status attributes are more dangerous than humanoid monsters, but there are also some other monsters that are too much of a headache to hunt than humanoid monsters. For example, Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna are now going to hunt flying monsters.

The monsters of the flying system are not very strong, and the combat effectiveness and damage are not particularly high, but they are surprisingly very tricky. Because SAO can't use magic. The only means of attacking from a distance are weapons that belong to the [Flying Sword] category, and these weapons are secondary weapons in any case.

Betting everything on the flying sword skills, using the throwing dagger to beat the flying monster to the ground, this kind of Xiao Li flying knife-like martial arts feelings of the battle scene is a bit longing.

However, in this SAO death game, players who add points according to this characteristic are estimated to not even be able to rush to the tenth floor, which is completely an act of death. In other games, even if it is not, in this death game, to die is to really die, and players who cherish life have not been stupid enough to be so stupid. In addition, the throwing weapons and ammunition of the SAO are not unlimited, and it is a tragedy when the stocks carried are thrown away.

Because of this, Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna, who were assigned by Claire to "fight the materials exploded by flying monsters in order to strengthen the weapons of the Void Brigade", were a little weak.

Although Zheng Shuanglong throws flying knives in the real world, in this game, Zheng Shuanglong's flying knife skills are very bad. Completely unworked. In addition, the thin sword with a range that is not very far away makes Asuna, hehe, feel so troublesome about hunting flying monsters Zheng Shuanglong in the western area of the second layer of this hunt.

Why is it that on the second layer, the weapon enhancement material is burst out by flying monsters, Kayaba Jinghiko is really annoying enough. Zheng Shuanglong, who was thinking so, walked out of the west gate of the main block on the second floor with Asuna and walked towards the place where the flying monster was.

Although fighting flying monsters is troublesome and annoying, however, if there is a cute beautiful girl around, it will really make people feel a lot better.

Asuna, who has long chestnut hair and shines dazzlingly in the afternoon sun, is such a lovely beautiful girl, Asuna's no makeup, this beauty is a little indescribable. It's really nice to have such a beautiful woman around to communicate. Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, who was staring at the passing player with envy and jealousy of "burn you", he laughed sincerely and happily.

The players who can participate in SAO are basically senior players, in other words, the vast majority of players in the entire SAO are otaku otaku, and showing affection in such a player group and being a winner in life is really a resentful thing.

However, as a well-known winner in life in the entire SAO (Zheng Shuanglong is a male player in the entire Void Brigade, plus whether it is Fei, Lixia, Theo, Claire, Shina, Asuna, Xili, who have a lot of appearances that exceed the horizontal line, even the newly joined Argo and Lizbet are also very cute, above the horizontal line, how can such Zheng Shuanglong not be the winner of life), isn't it normal to enjoy such envy and jealousy.

As if sensing that strange eyes, and as if she was not very comfortable with the time alone with Zheng Shuanglong, Asuna looked sideways at Zheng Shuanglong, whose long clothes were swinging in the wind, and her lips moved slightly as if she was saying something. However, when Zheng Shuanglong turned her gaze, she twisted her head to the side.

Collecting materials or something, why do you want me and Asuna to do it, Zheng Shuanglong thought with a little headache. Whether it's Lixia, Fey, Shino, or Claire, it's better than teaming up with Asuna, at least, so that you can do some intimate things while collecting materials. And Asuna's words can really only be seen, not eaten, after all, not cooked enough. In game terms, it's not good enough.

A short walk from West Street is a meadow divided into north and south by a wide canyon, where huge bison graze leisurely. Passing through here, it's the area where the ruins monsters are infested.

"Although it is not very likely, I still have to say that being pricked by the poisonous needle of a poisonous bee will cause two or three seconds of paralysis. If you notice that the other person is paralyzed, you must immediately come to cover it, and this must be kept in mind. Seeing Zheng Shuanglong, who was about to reach the hunting point, he looked at Asuna beside him and said seriously.

"Understood, Captain!" For Zheng Shuanglong's instructions, Asuna nodded very frankly.

Looking at Asuna, Zheng Shuanglong continued: "According to Argo's intelligence, if you travel too much south, you will attract the [Excited Mantis], which also needs to be paid attention to. ”

"Yes, got it." Asuna nodded again.

The natural stone bridge over the 10-meter-deep canyon through the bison area, though wide enough, was still a little nervous to walk over, and when they reached the other end of the bridge without incident, they sighed at the same time.

"What would happen if that bridge fell down just now?" Looking at the deep canyon, Asuna asked in a low voice.

Hearing Asuna's whisper, Zheng Shuanglong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll see, well, according to Argo's regional strategy book, if you reach level five, you shouldn't die." However, if you want to climb up, you have to go all the way south, and there are many slimy monsters at the bottom of the valley, and it is very troublesome to get back to the ground. ”

"That's right." Looking at the strategy book in Zheng Shuanglong's hand, Asuna nodded and said softly.

From Asuna's face, Zheng Shuanglong felt as if there was some emotion in addition to being relieved, so he kept looking at her. may be keenly aware of Zheng Shuanglong's question. Asuna glanced at the canyon behind her and said, "Commander, nothing, I just thought about it a little." If it's a boss object.,Trying to scout.,Upgrade the level.,Defeat in a series of actions such as strategy battles.,That's no way.,I think so.,But only this situation where I fall from a height and die because of my own inattention.。 ”

"That's right, if it's in a general game, falling and dying will just be a laughing stock, but in this world it means the end......" Hearing Asuna say this, Zheng Shuanglong didn't really guess what was going on in the girl's heart, after all, the girl's heart was the most difficult to understand.

Looking at the deep valley, Zheng Shuanglong smiled with emotion: "However, Asuna is Asuna, she can see so open." After all, even in the real world, because you tried your best, but after doing your best, it was still the result, so there was no way to die, and there shouldn't be many people who would think like this, right? Whether you are sick or have an accident, you should be very unwilling when you die! I've learned the philosophy of life, Asuna-chan. ”

"Captain, you already have Claire and Shino, please don't say such touching words." Asuna stared coldly at Zheng Shuanglong with a carefree gaze for a while, and then said succinctly and dissatisfiedly: "The harem man, the crystal palace or something is too bad, the head of the group." ”

"Uh-huh. Asuna, I've made progress, and now I already know the harem man, the Crystal Palace, this kind of house term, come on, strive to become a professional house after the 100th floor. Zheng Shuanglong looked like "her daughter has grown up", gently patted Asuna's shoulder, and said with emotion.

"Since we have to complete the 100th floor, we must first do our best to achieve the goal of attacking the second layer of the boss. So let's get started. Target, 100 in 2 hours! Gently displaced, Asuna, who turned sideways to avoid Zheng Shuanglong's slapping, pulled out the thin sword hanging from her waist, and pointed the tip of the sword in the opposite direction of the stone bridge, a depression surrounded by low trees. Loud voice.

A hundred in two hours, really fake? So hard to !! Zheng Shuanglong, who sighed like this, also drew his one-handed sword, ready to kill the depression.

After all, Asuna, as a member of the group, is so serious, so Zheng Shuanglong, as the head of the group, is so embarrassed to be lazy.

The Wind Hornet is a bee-shaped monster with green stripes, mainly black. Fifty centimeters in length, it would undoubtedly be the largest insect in the world if it existed in reality, but among the monsters of Aingrant, it could only be classified as the smallest class. Since it is on the second layer, the parameters such as HP and ATK are not very high.

That said, it is not surprising that the bee-like creature larger than a human head is dragging the glowing and ice-axe-like poisonous needles that grow on its tail and buzzes towards it, and the highest priority command from the primitive part of the brain is to avoid it urgently. If you want to hunt the Wind Wasp, you must master the essentials of using reason to suppress all instinctual fears.

In this regard, both Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna have done very well.

“…… Hah! With a shrill shout, Asuna's rapier used her sword technique [Thrust] to draw a silver trajectory through the sky, accurately hitting the abdominal junction where the wasp's weak point was located. Squeak, emitting a metallic scream, and the giant bee turned into polygonal fragments.

"Twenty-four!" Glancing at Zheng Shuanglong as a competitor, Asuna briefly shouted such a sentence, and her pupils slightly revealed a look of victory.

I think I'm underestimating. Zheng Shuanglong, who had such a sentence in his mind, raised the sword in his right hand and pointed it towards the newly brushed wasp.

Since he had already entered the wasp's reaction circle, this guy captured Zheng Shuanglong's figure with his curved compound eyes, and he flew high above. Hovering at a height of five meters, a buzzing sound erupts from the abdomen, and a rapid swoop descends.

Then, it was cut open by Zheng Shuanglong with the one-handed sword in his hand. Zheng Shuanglong's sword can even cut fallen leaves in half, let alone such a large wasp.

Although the body is an imaginary body, although the strength cannot be exerted at all, after all, Zheng Shuanglong has experienced all kinds of bloody battles before he stands in this position.

The so-called "It's horrible!" The idea never rose in Zheng Shuanglong's heart. (To be continued.) )
