At around seven o'clock in the morning, when Ling Ze returned to the "Dark Elves" camp for breakfast, Asuna, Kirito, Klein and the others had just gotten up, they were resting well, and they all looked full of energy.

"Brother Ling Ze, did you go out last night?"

While eating breakfast, Kirito asked a little strangely, this morning he thought he was the first to wake up, but he didn't find the figure of Brother Ling Ze.

"Well, I went out in the morning to practice the meeting."

Ling Ze also replied casually while eating, which made Kirito show a surprised expression, and this closed beta player was even more puzzled, and seemed to think it was incredible.

"But isn't there a thick fog outside? How do I get back when I'm out? Is there a Dark Elf Guide with you? ”

Kirito put down the food in his hand, he seemed to be a little concerned, in fact, he had wanted to get up early and go out to practice, but the thick fog outside the "dark elf" camp dispelled his thoughts, after all, he didn't think he could find his way back to the camp in the thick fog.

"Guide? Not really, but I did run into Kizmel last night, triggering some hidden plots. ”

Ling Ze avoided the important and did not talk about how he found his way in the dense fog, but talked about the "hidden plot" triggered yesterday.

"Oooh oh?! What hidden plot?! Lonely men and widows, life-saving grace, in the middle of the night, is it a personal promise?! ”

Kirito was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know that there was a "hidden plot" here, but before he could ask, Klein was very excited and began to talk nonsense.

"What is this......

Ling Ze had no choice but to hold his forehead, and he didn't know how to complain, although what Klein said was still decent, but even if there was really that kind of benefit, it was not tempting for Ling Ze, after all, what kind of beauty had he never seen?

And he has four little wives at home, so he can't come to this kind of virtual game to find a sense of existence.

Ling Ze told his companions the information he learned yesterday, which made everyone a little embarrassed, it turned out that Kizmel still had this hidden setting, but the sigh was only to this extent, listening to Ling Ze's bland narration, it was difficult for them to have any strong "empathy".

"Let's go, today's task seems to be quite simple, crusade against poisonous spiders, let's find out the spider's nest."

After eating and drinking, Klein, as the "president", began to call on everyone to go, and everyone naturally responded.

"Are there any shortcuts?"

Klein winked at Kirito, Kirito must have completed this task, it depends on whether he has any way, if Kirito can't do it, then they can only go to the forest to find clues little by little.

"I might be disappointing, the location of the spider's nest is randomly configured, so although I completed it, the memories at that time were useless, and I had to fight the poisonous spider while looking for a nest somewhere in the forest."

Kirito spread his hands, obviously there was nothing he could do.

"Let's go!"

Seeing this, Klein was not disappointed, and shouted vigorously.

When the group left the cafeteria, they saw Kizmer in full armor, and she would accompany them on this mission.

Everyone left the valley camp and entered the misty forest again, this time it was much easier than last time, firstly because of the "native" Kizmel to take action, and secondly, because Ling Ze's spiritual strength had increased again, and his perception and range of seeking enemies had been very exaggerated.

"Always be ready to use the antidote."

Among the many abnormal states of SAO, "damage toxin" is the most common one, although the poisonous spider here can release, only the level 1 "micro poisoning" and the level 2 "light poisoning", neither of which is too dangerous, but it is necessary to make the right response, if there is not enough antidote, "micro poisoning" and "light poisoning" will also kill people.

"20 bottles in total."

"I'm pretty much the same."

"Sufficient."

Everyone checked the number, and on average, each person had about twenty bottles, which was enough to cope for a while.

"What about Kizmer? Is the antidote sufficient? ”

Ling Ze asked Kizmer, who had been silent next to him, which made Kirito and them all pay attention, the player's potion cannot be used by NPCs, and after getting to the upper floor, he can only use the "crystal props" for whoever he wants, but the "crystal props" are very rare and expensive, and it is estimated that no one will be willing to use them for NPCs.

"I brought a couple of bottles with me just in case, but basically I don't need the potion because I have this.

Kizmer, who was named by Ling Ze, was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that there was anything about her now, but then she opened her mouth with some pride, and raised her right hand wearing well-fitting leather gloves to show everyone as she spoke.

She wore a ring on her index finger, which looked quite large, and the gem on it was glowing intensely, and the color was a green color very similar to that of the "antidote".

"What is this?"

Ling Ze and the others, who were illiterate, naturally stared dryly, even Kirito, who obviously hadn't seen this ring before.

"This is an item given to me by Her Majesty along with the saber when I qualified as a Knight of the Guard, and I can use an antidote spell every ten minutes."

Kizmael said proudly that her pride was not in the efficacy of the ring, but in the way in which it was obtained.

But unfortunately, the players in front of her apparently care more about the effect of the item than the glory it symbolizes.

"It's also fantastic......"

Kirito muttered in surprise, although he tried his best to endure it, but in the end he couldn't hold back, because since the official launch of this game until now, even counting the playing time during the closed beta period, he has never heard of it, let alone seen this kind of equipment.

This is a piece of jewelry that allows you to use the "Detoxification Skill" without any restrictions, and although it has a 10-minute cooldown, it is enough to make people excited.

And if even the level 5 "lethal poison" can be detoxified in an instant, then it is really a super invincible rare item that can be described as "SSS".

Kirito and Klein's unpretentious envy had apparently been noticed by Kizmer, who coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then explained:

"Even if you show that expression, I can't give it to you, this ring is based on the little magic left in the blood of our Ruthra people as the source of the spell, you humans should not be able to use it."

Kizmail's words made Kirito and Klein a little embarrassed, after all, this was too straightforward.

Several people hurriedly opened their mouths to explain, saying that they didn't mean what they wanted, but they had never seen such equipment, even if it was misunderstood as an "uninformed hillbilly", it was better than being regarded as a "gangster who coveted other people's equipment".

"Prepare for battle, our goal is here."

Just when a few people had been chattering endlessly, Ling Ze suddenly spoke, and this made Kirito and them immediately quiet, and they all pulled out their weapons and waited, Ling Ze's words they would not take as a deaf ear.

Soon, several shadows moving at high speed in the shade of the trees approached as if they were gliding, their height almost about the waist of a human, and the width of about two or three people, with many slender feet under them.

"This is a bush spider, and the only way to attack directly is to bite with sharp teeth, but if you touch the spider silk that they shoot from the asshole, your movement will be hindered, so be careful to avoid the spider silk it fires."

Mr. Kirito, the "Monster Encyclopedia", immediately pointed out the "roots" of this spider monster almost the moment he saw it.

This efficiency, knowledge reserves, and information retrieval speed can only be described as "genius", and Kirito's guy has a hand, well, although it is a little vulgar in terms of wording.

Asuna glared at him speechlessly, but didn't say anything, and the old men of the "Wind Forest Volcano" didn't react, they were all concentrating on dealing with the enemy.

"Squeak Squeak!!"

The "bush spiders" were not even more interested in talking, and the huge spider monster pounced without stopping.

Asuna faced one alone, and she avoided the venomous spider that flew at her with a magnificent step, and then the blade in her hand sparked into the spider's huge eye.

Although the poisonous fangs and sticky spider silk are definitely not to be underestimated, among the insect-type monsters that will appear in the third layer, the "bush spider" is relatively easy to deal with.

It can neither fly nor escape, it doesn't have a hard shell, and even the way it attacks is a very simple type, so even if it's just Asuna herself, she can easily deal with it, and the only thing that is a little troublesome is those spider silks, which will constantly limit the running position, which is not very friendly to agile players.

But under the situation of hierarchical suppression and technical suppression, Asuna quickly turned out to be this vicious-looking spider monster.

The six "bush spiders" that came to attack did not even cause any damage, and they became Kell, experience, and materials.

"You're really strong, even stronger than I thought."

Kizmer, who also killed a "bush spider", sighed, Ling Ze smiled secretly in his heart, this is a sure thing, after all, they are at the forefront of all players, Kirito's level should be on par with this Kizmer knight, they are all eighteenth, which can indeed be considered very high in the third layer.

And this is also the reason why they can easily deal with these six "bush spiders", if they were to come to another team, it would definitely be enough for Kizmel to be busy, and she would have to deal with six by herself, and maybe she would be a little injured.

"Speaking of which, this spider is disgusting enough, and I have goosebumps all over my body when I see it, and I almost have weak legs."

Klein wiped his sweat and complained, and then he looked at Asuna with a calm face, logically speaking, girls generally can't stand this kind of thing, right?

"Asuna, aren't you afraid?"

Klein asked directly, and Asuna said very calmly:

"What's there to be afraid of? Such a large spider is not so much an insect as a ferocious beast, right? In the face of this beast, just kill it, wouldn't it? ”

Asuna took what she said for granted, but Klein was a little uncomfortable, he always felt that something didn't sound right, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

"Asuna, how brave it is, my sister Tierniel is just like you, as long as there is a physical monster, whether it is a bug or a mud monster, she will not be afraid......"

Hearing Klein's conversation with Asuna, Kizmael let out a brief laugh, and the "dark elf" knight looked at Asuna, who was much shorter than her, with a particularly warm eye, as if he were looking at his own sister.

However, her voice lowered as she spoke, Ling Ze's eyes were complicated, and Kirito and they were directly startled, after all, they didn't expect that a joke between their companions would actually get feedback from NPCs.

After seeing everyone's strange expressions, Kizmel immediately whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm talking too much." ”

Then she raised her right hand as if to change the mood.

"By the way, what do you mean by that action you just did?"

After saying that, Kizmer raised his hand and waved it forward, which made Kirito and the others even more dumbfounded.

"It's the way the Terrans praise each other for their bravery and good at war."

However, Asuna didn't have any special reaction, she has always had a sense of substitution, so she became the second person besides Ling Ze who could talk to Kizmel normally.

After explaining, Asuna also raised her right hand and went directly to pat Kizmel's raised right hand, and after a crisp "snap", Kizmel put down her hand and looked at her palm for a while, and finally gently clenched her fist as if she wanted to save her feelings.

"I see, we elves don't often have physical contact with other companions, but it's a good way to compliment."

Kizmer looked serious, and after saying that, she raised her right hand again, this time facing Ling Ze and them, as if she wanted to give everyone a high-five, probably to express her praise to everyone.

At this time, Kirito and the others naturally eased up, and with complicated feelings, they all went over and high-fived Kizmail, and the light and crisp sound continued to sound.

"In fact, you don't have to high-five everyone every time, you can high-five the people around you, if you are far away, you can just give a thumbs up, which is also the meaning of praise, in short, this is a non-mandatory mutual encouragement."

Ling Ze "snapped" and high-fived Kizmer, and then took the opportunity to give her a science popularization, he didn't want to have such a "high-five ceremony" after every battle in the future.

"Oh? Is that so? ”

Kizmer nodded blankly, although she didn't quite understand it yet, she did take Ling Ze's words to heart.
