The forest path that leads to the labyrinth area is surrounded by a warm air, and the terrifying atmosphere of the night is completely gone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe morning light shining through the treetops caused several pillars of light, and butterflies fluttered between the gaps in the pillars of light. It's a pity that this is just a visual effect without a physical body, and even if you chase it, you won't be able to catch a real butterfly.

Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia's footsteps stepped on the soft and lush grass, making a pleasant-sounding rustling sound. This is a rare team-up between Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia during this time.

Walking on the path in the forest, Zheng Shuanglong solemnly asked Lixia: "Lixia, do you still have any nostalgia for this SAO?"

Hearing Zheng Shuanglong's sudden question, Lixia couldn't reply for a while, so she had to look at her body. With his head down, he shyly pinched the corners of his clothes. A little overwhelmed.

Looking at such a shy Lixia, Zheng Shuanglong smiled softly and said softly: "Lixia, if there is no special nostalgia, we should almost leave this SAO, and in more than two years, it is almost time to go back and see......"

"Do you want to go back to see your father?" Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Lixia raised her head and said with a little joy.

"Well, it's back to the Semlia Continent, and I haven't been out for such a long time, and I miss Yuguro, Akagi, and Sharon a little bit, they have ......worked hard for more than two years," Zheng Shuanglong, who replied like this, habitually used enemy search scanning around. There is no reaction from the monster at the moment.

Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Lixia was very happy, although she had already made up her mind when she left, but, for such a long time, Lixia would still miss them, and being able to go back was really a very happy thing for Lixia, second only to the happiness of staying by Zheng Shuanglong's side, but-

"That, Zheng, if we leave, what will happen to the other players, we are the main force of the game, if we leave, they will ......" The gentle Lixia can't let go of these poor players who are trapped here by Akihiko Kayaba.

"What's the solution, it's their fate. I don't have the generosity to strangers to the point of giving freely, even if it's a gesture. Looking at Lixia, Zheng Shuanglong said softly and gently, full of endless indifference.

This is Zheng Shuanglong, gentleness, generosity, kindness, these are just paid to the people around him, for strangers, Zheng Shuanglong will always show endless indifference.

"Then, what about Asuna, Argo, Liz, and Silica, I can't bear to leave them here." The gentle Lixia looked up at Zheng Shuanglong, then immediately lowered her head and said softly.

Hearing Lixia say this, Zheng Shuanglong reached out and touched Lixia's purple and silky hair, and said gently: "For them, it is naturally in another attitude, their information in the real world, we are almost clear, so after they get out, with a little operation, we will soon be able to find them and rescue them......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Shuanglong paused, thought for a while, and said, "Well, after all, we have been together for more than two years, so let's do a little good thing and leave." ”

"In Sword Art Online, the boss of the floor every twenty-five multiples is particularly powerful, and now we are on the seventy-fourth floor, so after the floor boss of the seventy-fifth floor is completed, we will leave. That's a bit of a friendship, isn't it? ”

"As for the property of our Void Brigade in this SAO, let's hand it over to Kirito, he is an excellent lone player, presumably with the support of such a large amount of property, his strength will be several times over, and he will become the strongest player except for the head of the Blood Alliance Knights."

"Our real estate is divided equally between Argo, Lizbet, Asuna, and Sirika, and we don't have any use in keeping them anyway. What do you think, Lixia? ”

At the end, Zheng Shuanglong picked up Lixia's chin with his hand, looked at Lixia's seductive and delicate beautiful face, and asked softly.

"No... Yes... Opinion ...... "Lixia, who was shy and fainted by Zheng Shuanglong's frivolous movements, stammered.

Truth be told, Lixia really wanted to find a place to hide, and if there was a big enough crack in the ground right now, Lixia might be able to get into it right away. Really, really too shy.

However, because Zheng Shuanglong was holding his chin with his hand, there was no place to hide, so Lixia could only endure the feeling of shyness, and closed her eyes shyly with a blushing face, not daring to look at Zheng Shuanglong.

Just as Zheng Shuanglong was about to kiss him, the player reacted almost outside the range of Zheng Shuanglong's search for the enemy. Focusing your gaze behind you, you can see several green arrows flashing to indicate the player's presence.

Zheng Shuanglong, who sensed the presence of the player, frowned, let go of the finger that was picking Lixia's chin, quickly opened the main menu, called the map out of the main menu, and then set it to visible mode so that Lixia could also see it.

On the map showing the terrain of the surrounding forest, a green light appears to show the player's location due to the effect of the enemy-searching skill. There are a total of twelve players.

"That's a lot ......" Looking at the number of players displayed on Zheng Shuanglong's map, Lixia said in surprise.

Zheng Shuanglong nodded in agreement with what Lixia said. If there are too many teams, it will be difficult to cooperate with each other, so it is usually five or six people to form a team. And this time it's twelve, more than double the number.

"And you look at the way they line up." Looking at the group of light points that rushed towards us from the edge of the map, Zheng Shuanglong prompted.

They did not march in scattered columns, but in two columns that were quite neatly arranged. If it's in a dangerous labyrinth, it's okay, but in the practice area of this kind of monster that doesn't have any powerful monsters, it can be said that it is quite rare to form such a neat formation.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Shuanglong turned off the map and said, "Let's confirm a little, it's not those guys, well, let's hide next to it and let them walk over." ”

"Hmm." Lixia nodded obediently. Leaving the road with Zheng Shuanglong, he climbed the dirt slope, and after finding a bush that was about as tall as his height, he hid under the shade of the trees over there. This is a great vantage point to see the road below from above.

"Zheng, they're coming!" After hiding, Lixia whispered and put her finger in front of her lips. Squatting lower, you can hear the sound of footsteps coming from you with a rather regular pattern.

Soon after, the figure of the group appeared on the winding path ahead.

All are swordsmen by profession. Wears the same bronze metal armor and dark green combat uniform. The equipment is all quite practical, but the large shield held by the six people in front of them has a fairly obvious castle motif carved into it.

The weapon of the avant-garde six is a one-handed sword. The six guards were armed with huge axes and guns. Because everyone pressed the edge of their helmets quite low, there was no way to see their expressions. Looking at them in such a uniform way, it felt as if these twelve people were all the same kind of NPC controlled by the system.

Seeing this, it was already certain that they were members of the super-huge guild "army" based on the bottom floor.

Lixia beside her also seemed to have noticed their origins, and Zheng Shuanglong could feel that Lixia was now nervously holding her breath.

For the average player, the Army is definitely not a hostile existence. It can even be said that they are the most enthusiastic groups in promoting the prevention of criminal acts. However, their approach is too extreme, and as soon as they find a player with the symbol of the offender - because of the color of the arrow, they are also commonly known as "orange players" - they immediately attack indiscriminately, disarm those who surrender, and send them to the prison area of the Black Iron Palace, where they are imprisoned. As for the treatment of those who do not surrender and fail to escape, all kinds of horror rumors have long been spread in the streets and alleys.

In addition, because they often operate in large teams and occupy the practice area for a long time, there is a consensus among the general player that "don't approach the 'army' easily".

What's more, one of the leaders of the [Army], the Tooth King, was offended by Zheng Shuanglong so badly that the [Army] and the Void Brigade have never dealt with each other.

Originally, the members of the [army] were mainly in the low-level areas below the 50th floor, carrying out the work of maintaining law and order and expanding the territory, and they were rarely seen at the front line. But now - it's really weird, are they going to challenge the boss. It's a little impossible!

Under the bated breath of Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia's gaze, the twelve heavily armed warriors made the metallic sound of their armor rubbing against each other, and the footsteps of their heavy boots, strode through the road below the two of them, and finally disappeared into the dense forest.

After confirming on the map that they had left the range of the enemy, Zheng Shuanglong, who was in a squatting position with Lixia, touched his chin, looked at the back of the [army] members leaving, and said, "It seems that the rumor is true......

Lixia, who got up, gently straightened the corners of her clothes, and asked puzzledly, "Rumors?"

Zheng Shuanglong, who stretched his waist, replied relaxedly: "Hmm." I heard from someone who was well-informed that the "army" had changed its course and was preparing to move to the upper floors. Originally, they were also guilds with the goal of complete raids, but they suffered a lot of damage when they raided the twenty-fifth layer, so they changed their policy from a strategy game to strengthening the organization, and they did not come back to the front line. As a result, I heard that there have been voices of dissatisfaction within the country recently. Therefore, the policy has changed again, and it is said that their current idea is that instead of sending many people into the labyrinth like last time, which will lead to chaos, it is better to send a small number of elite troops and rely on the results they have obtained to show the guild's will to completely attack the game. Reports at the time also said that their first troops should have been on the verge of appearing. ”

"Well-informed life, is it Argo?" Lixia, who didn't care much about the rumors, gently tidied up the placket of Zheng Shuanglong's shirt and said.

"That's right, it's the Argo who doesn't do his job, she, after the intelligence room opened, she basically didn't provide any information about the boss room, it's really too good to be serious." Zheng Shuanglong, who had a little headache about Argo's current condition, complained softly.

After complaining, Zheng Shuanglong looked at the direction in which the [army] was leaving, and muttered softly, "Do you rely on actual actions to promote your guild?" Silly, where does the current strategy group still need the scum of the [Army] level that is not high enough, is the Tooth King already crazy, so it's not fun. And it's really terrible to be on this kind of floor that you haven't been to yet......"

Lixia, who heard Zheng Shuanglong's soft muttering, said uncertainly: "Maybe...... They're going to attack the boss...... After all, the next layer is the seventy-fifth layer of the multiplier ......"

Although Lixia's expression was a little uncertain, both Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia understood that what Lixia said was correct, and Lixia was very powerful in terms of intelligence gathering, psychological analysis, etc.

Nodding slightly, Zheng Shuanglong agreed: "That's why so many people came?" But it's still too messy. No one has ever seen the boss of the seventy-fourth floor. In addition to our Void Brigade, other player strategy bosses usually have to go through continuous reconnaissance to confirm the boss's combat power and tendencies before recruiting a huge team to attack the boss, right? ”

Looking at the direction of the [Army] player's departure with a little worry, Lixia said softly, "Only when conducting boss raids do you need to help each other with each other. Those people don't know if they mean it......?"

Waving his hand not too carelessly, Zheng Shuanglong said with a smile: "It's hard to say...... But those guys should also know that they can't just challenge the boss. Forget it, don't talk about them, we won't be able to play this game for long anyway, let's go quickly. I hope I don't run into them in there......"

"Hmm." Nodding, Lixia jumped down the path three meters below with a light movement. Of course, Zheng Shuanglong also jumped down together at the same time as Lixia jumped.

It was almost noon. Zheng Shuanglong and Lixia kept an eye on the map while moving as fast as they could.

Luckily, I didn't encounter any monsters on the way through the forest. After walking through the forest, the two of them saw a grassland with many light blue flowers. The road runs through the entire grassland to the west, and at the bottom you can see the labyrinth area of the 74th floor, which stands in front of you as if you are showing your majesty.

From the beginning of the attack on the seventy-fourth floor of the current frontline, it has been the seventh day so far, and the boss's room should be about to be discovered. (To be continued.) )
