"Let's go, the nest should be in the direction where the spiders just appeared."

After a brief hiccup, Kizmael looked northwest and signaled that everyone should go in that direction.

Everyone followed her without hesitation, continuing to walk towards the depths of the dense forest.

"That's... What Kizmer meant just now is that there will be no physical monsters in this game? ”

As she walked, Asuna suddenly came to Ling Ze and Kirito's side, her expression was a little subtle, which made Ling Ze instantly understand that Asuna was a little afraid of that kind of thing.

"Uh... Do you mean ghost-like? ”

Kirito asked rhetorically, and Asuna nodded cowardly, apparently she was really afraid of things like "ghosts", so she came over to make sure.

"Well... Anyway, at least I haven't seen it during the closed beta, and it's a mystery whether disembodied monsters can be defeated with a sword, so even if ghosts do exist, we'll definitely have the means to attack them. ”

Kirito thought about it for a moment and gave a detailed answer.

"That's good, that's good..."

As if reassured of something, Asuna nodded, and returned to Kizmail.

"Forehead ......"

Kirito was confused, apparently not understanding what Asuna was trying to do.

"It's understandable that when you don't have a weapon in your hand, a horror game is a horror game, but once you have a weapon in your hand, once you have enough ammunition, then a horror game isn't scary at all."

Ling Ze explained with a smile, which made Kirito speechless, but this is quite in line with what Asuna said just now, spiders can be killed if they become monsters, and isn't the same for ghosts?

As they walked along, they encountered a number of "bush spiders" and a monster of higher rank than it, the "Miscellaneous Forest Spider", which was not difficult to deal with, and soon they found a small hill.

On the flanks of the hill, a natural cavern can be seen, with an open mouth that resembles a large black mouth.

Instead of moving forward immediately, the crowd stopped to observe, and near the entrance to the cave, there were about ten small tarantulas running around, and looking at this scene, it should be the nest of poisonous spiders they were looking for.

"Do you want to defeat those little spiders one by one?"

Asuna's scalp was a little numb, although she basically had no sense of fear when facing the big spider monster, but at this time, she began to get goosebumps when she saw those small spiders, for her, those were real spiders, spiders belonging to the category of insects.

"No, those should be background decorations."

Kirito replied, much to Asuna's bewilderment.

"Background decoration?"

Asuna asked, confused, she really didn't understand.

"It's supposed to be a small animal that is used as a background other than monsters, such as a butterfly flying nearby, a cat on the street, and something like that, and it doesn't have the ability to attack."

In the face of the novice player's fateful questioning, Kirito was very patient, and he used some very vivid descriptions.

"I see, I don't understand everything, it's too much trouble for you to keep asking, or you can make a slang list or something like that for me next time, after I memorize it all, I shouldn't keep asking."

Asuna was obviously a little embarrassed, but it was something she had to deal with, after all, she was a pure novice gamer.

"This kind of thing is suitable for asking Argo for an information monger, but that guy should charge a hefty fee."

Ling Ze made a joke, but looking at Kirito's frozen face, he knew that this was not actually a joke, and that guy Argo would definitely be able to do such a thing.

But if you put it another way, you can really get it for free, for example, with the reason of "science popularization for all novice players", of course, it is also a bit unbearable to use Argo's sympathy in this way.

"Isn't your language unified yet? In ancient times, when the earth was cut off, the Terrans were divided into nine nations, so maybe this was not a good thing. ”

While several people were talking, Kizmael interjected again, and her words obviously revealed a lot of information.

"The earth is cut off? Does it refer to the formation of floating islands? ”

Ling Ze opened his mouth and asked, if it was a "big cut", it was a month ago, it was a "network connection interruption" incident not long after SAO officially became a game of death, in fact, it was a "physical transfer" in the real world, and Kayaba Jinghiko specially reserved sixty minutes so that the players' bodies could be sent to the hospital.

But when Kizmael speaks of "the earth is cut off", she is clearly referring to another thing, after all, she is the original inhabitant of this world.

"Yes, that's what the book says."

Kizemer responded, but as Ling Ze was about to continue asking, the "Dark Elf Knight" shifted the conversation to the mission he was on.

"Let's go, let's go in and investigate the spider cave, and we need more certain information before we can report to the commander that we have found the spider's nest, and we can't just look at it at the door."

The "Dark Elf Knight" led the way in front, and everyone immediately followed, and Kirito quickly reminded everyone in a whisper:

"The information mentioned below comes from my memories of the closed beta period that I am about to lose value, and it may not be useful, but it can be used as a reference."

Kirito first came up with a "disclaimer" before he began to talk about his previous mission experience during the closed beta period.

"This quest to defeat poisonous spiders is divided into two phases, the first stage is to find the relics of the dark elf scout in the basement of the cave, and then take it back to the camp to be successful, and the second stage is to return to the cave again and defeat the spider queen who lives in the depths of the second underground layer, so this time you only need to search on the first floor."

As he spoke, everyone had followed Kizmel to the cave, and the little spider at the door suddenly dispersed, which made Asuna also breathe a long sigh of relief.

"I don't like this kind of natural scene......"

Asuna said her thoughts with a look of disgust, no way, this kind of thing is really too difficult for her.

"It's dark, it's eerie, and it gives you goosebumps."

Looking at the dark hole, Asuna still hesitated, and could not take that step, the maze she played before was a man-made maze in the maze tower, and there would be oil lamps or glowstone and other things on the walls to illuminate, so at least it would not be bothered in terms of brightness.

But this "spider's nest", the lighting object is only a few mosses that emit a faint light, almost the same as a pitch black, and you can only rely on your own way to illuminate it.

"Luckily, there are prop torches, and those who use one-handed weapons are responsible for lighting."

Small torches, with a narrow illumination range, and extinguishing when they fall into the water, are quite unreliable, but this damp spider's nest can only rely on this.

Except for the "main tank" and "sub-tank" with shields, as well as those with two-handed weapons, the rest of the people picked up torches, although it is true to use one-handed weapons, but usually the left hand is empty, and it is not used to fighting with torches, so there is no way, so they can only adapt.

In contrast, Kitzmer, who has the "dark vision" trait of the "dark elves", is much more relaxed, and she is not affected in the dark cavern in the slightest.

And besides her, it is Ling Ze, who has long been accustomed to dark vision, and there is at least a little bit of light in it.

"The spiders in the cave are different from the ones outside, most of the spiders in the forest are frontally tough, while the spiders in the cave are basically agile."

Kirito continued to provide information, and this time his information was not wrong, because Ling Ze had already detected several spiders that were rapidly approaching, and the speed was much faster than the ones outside.

"Be careful, it's coming."

Ling Ze reminded him early, and Kirito, Asuna, and Klein naturally put on a posture and prepared for battle.

"Squeak Squeak!!"

It's still a familiar call, this time the spider is not bigger than the outside, and it even looks smaller, but the smaller size does not mean that the danger is smaller.

These "cave spiders" are of a higher level than both the "Bush Spider" and the "Grove Spider", and have more complex speed and attack patterns, making them a test of reflexes in dark caverns.

"Squeak!"

The "cave spider" scurryed over and crashed directly into Jerome, who was walking in front, and Jerome hurriedly raised his shield.

"It's so fast!"

Knocking a "cave spider" flying, Jerome shouted in surprise, but by this time everyone already knew it.

The five or six "cave spiders" rushing back and forth, if it were an ordinary team, it was estimated that they would have been in chaos, but in front of Ling Ze and them, these "cave spiders" still failed to make any waves after all.

"Reflexes" Kirito, Asuna with agility, Kizmel with "dark vision" ability, and Ling Ze, who is not affected by darkness at all, are just the four of them, they can easily deal with these "cave spiders".

"This layer is basically this kind of cave spider, just pay attention to it, don't be sneak attacked, they are really fast, but the corresponding attack is weak."

Kirito held up the torch to remind everyone that holding the torch didn't seem to affect his combat effectiveness, and he single-handedly killed one.

"Understood."

Asuna nodded very seriously, although she was hypocritical for a while before coming in, but after entering the cave, she was always focused, not only did not lag behind, but also played at a high level normally.

Everyone walked cautiously all the way, and soon the first layer was cleaned, and it was another treasure chest cleansing, and the relics of the "dark elf" were near the entrance of the second floor, which was the last place they arrived.

"I've got the stuff, let's go back."

Kirito suggested, and Kizmer nodded dryly.

"Going back with these things should be convincing enough."

Kizemael solemnly put away the "badge" object, and she didn't lead everyone to the second level, because she was aware of the danger

"Wait, someone's coming."

Just as the group was about to go home, Ling Ze suddenly frowned, and in his perception, a team of human players was quickly rushing towards this side.

"Huh?! Players? ”

Kirito exclaimed in surprise, but he quickly figured it out.

At present, the "spider nest" they are in is no longer a separate space, it is the same as the "Labyrinth Tower", it is a "common area" shared by everyone, and the second floor has been open for so long, it is very normal for some players to come here.

"Coincidentally, it's Diabel and them who came."

Ling Ze's face was a little strange, good guys, it was this group of unlucky people who followed behind their butts, it was like this last time, and this time there was still no change.

"Ahh Shall we hide? ”

Klein touched his face, and he didn't know what to say, if he was blocked by Diabel and them, it would be really embarrassing to explode.

The most important thing is that Klein is afraid that Diabel will be annoyed and angry, not to mention the matter of the second-layer boss battle, and eat ashes behind their butts twice in a row, those guys must be holding back their anger.

It's not a "safe zone", and it won't be fun if those guys get angry and a conflict does break out.

"There's nowhere to hide here, and it's far from the last forked intersection, so there's probably no way."

Kirito is also very helpless.,There's no place to hide here.,Even if it's a "concealment skill", it's not very useful.,The place is so big.,Diabel They take a torch and shine a photo.,Naturally, you'll find them "hidden".

"I have a way, but I can only hide two or three people."

Kizmael quickly understood what Ling Ze was up to, and she didn't want to meet the rest of the human team, but her cloak with the "Concealment Spell" effect wasn't big enough to hide all ten people in her group.

"Look at me, you all go to the corner and stand silent."

Ling Ze shook his head, at this time, it was really up to him to perform, just in time to try the newly unlocked ability.

Although they had doubts in their hearts, Kirito still followed Ling Ze's advice, but in order to reduce the hatred after exposure, they still asked Kizmer to hide herself and Kirito with a "concealment cloak".

I have to say that the effect of Kizmail's "concealment cloak" is very amazing, and the "concealment" that is obviously performed in front of him is almost impossible to find, unless he is holding a torch in front of him and taking a hard shot.

Now everyone is relieved.,Without Kirito here,Their hatred attraction will be directly reduced by more than half.,Kirito for the players of the "Raiders Group",The effect of pulling hatred is simply better than the best "tank",No way,Whoever asked him to grab the "final blow" will grab a quasi,Even if you know that there is no justifiable reason to blame him,,It's difficult for players to keep themselves psychologically balanced.。
