Bronze mixed with special colored armor, gray cape, gray helmet, this is the guild clothing of most of the army.

The sound of messy footsteps continued until the safety zone was reached. After the footsteps stopped, the leader who seemed to be a team leader turned around and said loudly: "Everyone rests!" ”

Hearing this, the members of the army sat down as if they had been liberated.

And the figure who looked like a team leader turned around, and after seeing Ling Xue and a few people clearly, there was a slight stunned look in his eyes, obviously recognizing a few people.

"Hello, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Kobaz from the Ayn Grant Liberation Army Guild." A strong man with an eye-covering helmet stepped forward, and after introducing himself, he said to Ling Xue: "I didn't expect to meet His Excellency Xue Yin here, it's really rude." ”

"Just say anything straight, you don't need to beat around the bush." Ling Xue replied lightly. He instinctively felt that it was something very wrong to encounter the army, a guild that had long since withdrawn from the front line, on the 74th floor, but he couldn't say what was wrong for the time being.

"Hi. Since His Excellency Xue Yin has said so. Kobaz nodded and said, "Your Excellency Xue Yin, the maze in front of you should have already recorded a map, right?" ”

"Well, sort of." Ling Xue was noncommittal.

"Can you make a copy of this map and trade it for us?" Kobaz held out his hand and said his purpose.

"What did you say?!"

Before Ling Xue could speak, Klein said excitedly, "Do you actually want us to give it for nothing?" Do you know how much effort it takes to just explore a map? ”

"While we distribute intelligence and volunteerism to every regular player, we are also fighting to liberate all players from this world as soon as possible. Therefore, it is your duty to assist us. Kobaz, rightfully pointing at Klein, said loudly.

"Hey~~ Obligation?" Ling Xue let out a meaningful light "hey". A gleam flashed in his eyes. He said lightly: "What if I don't want to give it?" ”

Listening to the guy in front of him say his purpose, Ling Xue also had a rough guess in his heart.

"I hope Your Excellency Xue Yin can cooperate with the work."

As he spoke, Kobaz, dressed in gray armor, had already lightly placed his hand on his weapon, and the threat was self-evident.

"Robbership? I like it. Ling Xue gently licked the corners of her mouth, and also put her hand on the hilt of her knife, but said with a smile on her mouth: "After coming to this game, I haven't opened a killing ring for a long time, and this time it's good to kill it at once." ”

It's strange to say. Although Ling Xue was obviously smiling on her lips, the words she said were chilling.

"Ling Xue!"

Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Asuna hurriedly rushed to Ling Xue's side, held Ling Xue's hand on the hilt of the sword, and then frowned and looked at the gray armored man in front of him, and said coldly: "The map is for you, but please leave quickly." ”

"Of course. Asuna-sama who is still shining can understand the following. Kobaz smiled as he accepted the map backup that Asuna had traded.

"Stand up for me, it's not time to rest yet!!"

After calling out the group of players who had sat down to rest, the army group followed the map provided and headed deeper into the labyrinth.

"These guys...... It can't be that you want to attack the boss of the level, right? "Look in the direction the army group left. Klein frowned.

"Probably not." Although Asuna had guessed in her heart, she still couldn't believe it: "Just a few of them?" And it's already tired like that. ”

"It's not impossible. Rather, it will definitely go. ”

With her hands on the back of her head, Ling Xue glanced boredly at the group of soldiers who had left. In my heart, I was secretly pouting, cutting, I thought I could fight. But he said, "Otherwise, what do they want a map for?" ”

"Maybe it's to make it easier to walk through the maze." Asuna gave a reason that she couldn't even believe.

"Actually, I guessed a little bit about why the army suddenly appeared on the 74th floor." After hesitating for a moment, Ling Xue still told the guess in her heart.

"Then say it quickly, Ling Xue." Asuna turned her head anxiously.

"Actually, as you know, Ayn Grant will enhance the boss setting every 25 floors."

Seeing the two nodding, Ling Xue continued: "Actually, based on the information I have in my hand, I have a guess. Because the boss will be strengthened every 25 floors, the boss of the previous layer will be relatively weakened before the arrival of each 25th floor. I wonder if the army is trying to take advantage of the relative weakening of this boss to attack it, and then use it to close the gap with the rest of the guilds in one fell swoop. Because a guild overthrows a boss on its own, the influence of this is self-evident. ”

"No...... No......" Asuna said in disbelief. Are those guys in the army so naïve?

"Li Lingzhi is dizzy. Asuna. Seeing Asuna's obvious expression, Ling Xue sighed and said, "I heard that since the elite forces were wiped out on the 25th layer, the army guild has been in a state of paralysis for a while. Although it is said that it is necessary to regroup after withdrawing from the front line, it is actually because there are already divisions within this guild, and many players have left this guild one after another. ”

"Then why didn't they disband?"

Although she is the vice president of a large guild, Asuna's experience is undoubtedly a little less. Ling Xue hadn't answered yet, but Klein on the side said, "Ling Xue also said that it was because of interests." Although the current army is already sick, it is also a big guild anyway, not to mention the benefits brought back by the combat players, just the life players are a piece of fat, and no one is willing to let go. ”

Seeing that Asuna still looked like she didn't understand, Ling Xue smiled helplessly and said, "I'll say it simply." Now the army. You can think of it as a tough bone. The food is tasteless. It's a pity to abandon it, so no one wants to let go. That's probably what it means. ”

"If it's really as Ling Xue guessed, then this operation is probably ordered by some high-ranking member of the army without authorization." Klein said, holding his chin.

"Well, regardless of him, let's start brushing it too. They are killing themselves, and we can't do the thankless effort to dissuade them. "Ling Xue cares about these lives? Just kidding, since becoming a youkai. Is there still less life in your own hands?

"Now, Ling Xue, let's go and see if we're okay?" Just as Ling Xue turned around and was about to walk towards the portal, Asuna looked at the direction in which the army left, pulled Ling Xue's sleeve, and said in a daze.

"Hey?" Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, and was about to turn her head to say something when she saw the weak look in Asuna's eyes.

Can't you watch your life pass away......

"Okay." After thinking about it, Ling Xue still nodded.

"Yes." Seeing that Ling Xue agreed so simply, Asuna was stunned at first. Then he nodded happily.

"There's really no way, so let's go and have a look." Klein scratched his head. looks like there's nothing you can do,

"Huh? Does Klein Sang go too? Asuna was stunned.

"There's no way around it, isn't it? Who made us already have a team? Klein smiled and pointed to the team information in the upper left corner.

"Ahh Seeing that Klein and his guild members were all smiling, Ling Xue scratched her head and sighed.

After deciding, the group also looked at the map and walked in the direction of the boss room.

"Shhhhh

With a scream, the blue lizardmen turned into shards of light. Klein, who maintained the posture of the knife, waited for the stiff time to pass, straightened up and glanced at the minimap, spread his hands and said, "Walking forward, it's the boss's room, they won't really go to the boss's room, right?" ”

"It's impossible, the monsters haven't been cleared along the way." Asuna smiled reluctantly, waved her hand and said, "Could it be because they felt too tired later, so they ......?"

"Ahh

Before he could finish speaking, a scream came from the deepest part of the labyrinth.

"Ling Xue !!"

Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, and Asuna looked directly at Ling Xue.

"Well, let's go, Klein, and you guys should keep up." Ling Xue nodded at Asuna, and after giving a command, she and Asuna quickly ran towards the boss's room.

After turning a corner, the two of them in the distance can see the black and blue demon door wide open, the boss will not open the door by himself, coupled with the scream just now, then the answer is naturally self-evident.

"Ahh

As he approached the door, another desperate sound came from it.

"Those idiots!!" Asuna scolded angrily as she ran, and the speed of her feet seemed to increase by two or three points.

Stopping in front of the door, the two finally saw the situation inside.

The altar-like room, around which a pile of blue flames burned. With the help of the blue flames, Asuna and Ling Xue's eyes widened. One is surprised, the other is excited?

In the center of the room was an azure head with an antelope-like head, a bull-like body, and a cobra-like tail. Coupled with the two azure eyes on his face, he was like a demon.

“TheGleameyes。 Shine the Eye...... But why do I think it's more appropriate to call it a blue-eyed demon? ”

Feeling the heavy atmosphere, Ling Xue tugged at the corners of her mouth, not because she was afraid, but because she was excited.

At the feet of the blue-eyed demon, those in the army were prostrate in fear and trembling, waiting for death to come. (To be continued......)
