Chapter 8: First Encounter with Kirito

Night is falling.

After dinner, Zhang Chai and Klein, along with five other members of the Wind Forest Volcano, left the base and walked in the main neighborhood of Lombal with a smile and a smile, preparing to go to the 28th floor of the Wolf Plains to level up.

Illuminated by the orange lights of the rows of street lamps on both sides of the street, the scene of Lombal has a dreamlike beauty and the excitement of a night festival.

This is the otherworldly style that Zhang Chai can't see with his own eyes in the real world, and he was infected unconsciously, and he couldn't help but let out a small exclamation, this world is really beautiful!

"We'll be at the portal soon." Klein's face became solemn, "When we get to the 28th floor of the Wolf Plain, everyone must remember their battle position!" If you are surrounded by wolves, I, Blair, and Cordoso are the avant-garde, acting as a tank, and after resisting the first round of attacks,

Marlow, John, Good, and ZZ, who were in the back, immediately attacked alternately, taking on the role of DPS, and quickly outputting monsters that fell into hard stuns, understand? Especially ZZ, you don't have a lot of combat experience, so be careful! If you don't have HP, you have to call for help from others. ”

Zhang Chai nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood. However, when he was about to face his first official battle, he was inevitably a little nervous.

Klein waved the sword in his hand high and shouted, "Good! Let's go! ”

……

At this moment, a certain floor, within the labyrinth.

A group of smiling men and women slowly surrounded a young girl in a black cloak.

"Kid, hand over the props you just exploded, or ......" The leader of the surrounding girl was a woman with bright red hair and a halberd, probably thirty years old.

"Rosaria, don't talk nonsense with this chick, she even dares to rob the prey of our Orange Name Crime Guild's 'Titan Hand', she's really tired! Rush straight up and slaughter her! A big man in an iron helmet next to him shouted impatiently.

The red-haired woman named Rosaria shook her hair, showed the cold and flickering halberd in her hand, smiled at the girl in the center of the encirclement, and sighed pretendedly: "Child, today I blame you for being unlucky and provoking our Titans." But don't worry, we're going to put you up a tombstone here to remember. ”

"Huh." The girl coldly glanced at the people surrounding her, and the corners of her good-looking mouth curled slightly, "Orange Crime Guild? Interesting. Let's go up together. ”

"Huh?" Rosalia looked stunned, and then smiled coquettishly: "Hey, you say, did I hear it wrong?" She wants us to go along? ”

The big man in the iron helmet sensed that something was wrong, but when he looked carefully at the thin and weak girl in front of him, he felt that he was too careful, so he echoed and laughed wildly: "Then we will do what she wishes, let her understand what is called the truth of self-immeasurability before she dies!" Everybody! ”

"Oh! Oh! Oh! ”

The other members of the Titan's Hand screamed loudly, then raised their various weapons and lunged at the girl.

"A bunch of idiots." The girl commented lightly, stretched out her hands hidden under the cloak, and slowly showed the weapons in her sleeve robe.

"It's!" Rosaria, who had also rushed over together, saw the movements of the girl's hands clearly, and her pupils suddenly dilated, revealing an incredibly shocked look, but her eyes were immediately replaced by greed.

Before the members of the Titan's Hand could get closer, at this moment, the girl's delicate body had already jumped high, and after spinning in mid-air for most of the circle, she suddenly dived down!

Whew! Whew! Whoosh......

Two brilliant silver rays bloomed wildly from the girl's hand, and they quickly swung a cross-web of light, enveloping all the members of the Titan Hand inside.

No one could see the girl's movements clearly, all they could see was the afterimages that had already passed by and the dazzling silver light.

"Ahh Devils, evil ghosts! Yes...... Save ......"

In the next second, the terrible screams and wails were intertwined, like a grand and grand bloody dinner, and just listening to the sound made people shudder.

After a series of human bodies burst into pieces, only the girl with a straight body remained, standing lonely on the land of this empty labyrinth area, and commented lightly, "Boring." ”

……

28th floor, wilderness area, wolf plain.

Whew!

A giant wolf with two tails, a fiery red body, and four bone spurs on its spine roared and galloped across the grass, trying to give Zhang a sneak attack from behind.

Klein, who was busy dealing with other giant wolves, accidentally caught a glimpse of it and couldn't help but exclaim, "ZZ! Watch your back! ”

However, before Klein could shout, Zhang Chai had already kicked away a giant wolf in front of him steadily, and immediately raised an iron sword in his hand with his backhand, and with a pop, he turned around and plunged the blade into the giant wolf that attacked him.

Oh......

The giant wolf howled, and its body exploded into a pile of shards, which eventually dissolved into nothingness.

“Good.job! It's really a high-level player at level 40! Zhang Chai was safe, and Klein finally breathed a sigh of relief and showed a smile of relief.

After calmly killing the several giant wolves surrounding him, Zhang Chai rushed to Klein's side and said with a smile: "It's not because of your good teaching, otherwise, even if I have level 40, it won't be so easy to deal with these monsters." ”

When Klein heard this, an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly shirked and said, "Look at what you said!" ZZ: Your reflexes are better than all six of us, but you just suffered a little bit in terms of experience and equipment. After cleaning the battlefield, I'll take you to the market with you to build some good equipment to put on. ”

"Thanks, President." Zhang Chai nodded, but his eyes were always paying attention to his surroundings, for fear of missing the arrival of the male protagonist Kirito.

You must know that the development of the plot in the early stage of Sword Art Online is a huge turning point and watershed, and if you don't take advantage of this opportunity, it is very likely that you will lose the opportunity to complete the default quest main line.

Here it comes!

After killing a few giant wolves again, Zhang Chai saw a man wearing a black cloak and a scabbard behind him on a hillside not far away, quietly staring at Klein who was slashing monsters, who else could there be besides Kirito, the male protagonist of Sword Art Online!

When the main lord came, Zhang Chai's mood became a little nervous in vain......

As if sensing Kirito's gaze, Klein turned his head to look at it, his face changed slightly, "Isn't that Kirito!?" ”

Klein immediately shook off the giant wolf in front of him and shouted to the two members of the Wind Forest Volcano next to him, "The rest of the miscellaneous soldiers are please!" ”

After shouting, Klein quickly ran up the hill, ready to go and greet Kirito. And Zhang Chai, who was on the side, also followed.

After running up the hill, the first thing that caught Zhang's eye was a pair of dark and deep eyes, with that fair face that revealed a little coldness, and slightly messy black hair, which made people feel unapproachable.

He's Kirito, there's no doubt about it!

Zhang Chai unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Kirito!" Klein smiled at Kirito, who didn't move, "I still thought about it, I haven't seen you lately, I didn't expect you to come to practice at night." ”

Speaking of this, Klein noticed that there was an icon printed with a half-moon shape pattern on the place where Kirito's head showed the amount of HP blood, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The mark on your head...... Did you join the guild? ”

Kirito didn't seem to want to say more, so he lowered his head and said, "Well, almost." ”

At this time, a member of the Wind Forest Volcano at the bottom of the hillside shouted to the top of the hillside, "Hey! You can go to the next spawning spot! ”

Kirito was expressionless when he heard this, and he didn't plan to stay longer, preparing to leave alone.

Seeing this, Zhang Chai on the side felt a tightness in his heart, he must not let go of this good opportunity! But in order not to arouse Kirito's vigilance and hostility, he had to look at Kirito and Klein intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly said, "President, do you know one thing?" ”

Klein was stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Chai said in a quick tone: "It is said that in the labyrinth area of the 27th floor, there is a mechanism hidden on a certain wall!" After activating the trap, a secret door will appear in the wall, which contains a treasure chest. ”

Kirito, who was originally planning to leave, heard Zhang Chai's words, and involuntarily stopped his steps to move.

Klein quickly retorted, "There will be treasure chests in that kind of place in the labyrinth area?" No kidding! Anyone with a little experience knows that this must be a terrifying trap! ”

Zhang Chai nodded, and said very strictly: "That's right, there is indeed a trap in there!" But greed blinds people's eyes, and almost all the members of a young guild that has just been established are buried in this trap! Alas, for these young people, dying in Sword Art Online means dying in the real world as well...... President Klein, don't you think that's ridiculous? ”

The 27-layer secret door trap that Zhang Chai said is the black cat group on a moonlit night in the original anime and the tragic scene of the lucky death of a tragedy.

Klein replied with a sigh of relief: "It's ridiculous, but we're used to it, aren't we?" All we can do now is to do our best to avoid such evils. ”

Hearing this, Kirito frowned, then raised his steps and passed Klein, said "goodbye" and walked down the hill to leave.

Zhang Chai noticed the expression on Kirito's face, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Judging from Kirito's character, after hearing such news, now Bacheng will go to sweep the secret trap to ensure the safety of those rookie players.

Even if Kirito didn't go immediately, before the Black Cat Group on the Moonlit Night encountered the trap of the 27th Floor Secret Door, Kirito, who had been reminded by Zhang Chai's 'unintentional', would definitely step forward to prevent the Black Cat Group on the Moonlit Night from entering, so as to avoid the tragedy of the destruction of all the members.
