Chapter 620: Tangled
"It's milk porridge."
Kizmer replied, and Ling Ze glanced inside.
It was a pot of cereals between rice and wheat boiled in milk, then seasoned with salt and added with nuts and dried fruits, which made Ling Ze a little in a trance, wasn't this a pot of fruit oatmeal porridge cooked with milk?
"I didn't expect to see oatmeal here, Kizmer, can you teach me how to do it? What materials are needed? โ
Asuna's eyes lit up, this girl has a strange obsession with food, even in this game where every second counts, she will find time to practice her cooking skills, it can be said that she likes to eat very much.
"Of course you can, but in the cities of the Terrans, do you also eat milk porridge? I don't know, but I'd like to see it when I have the chance. โ
Kizmael agreed, and she was glad that Asuna liked the dish.
"It can't be said that the Terrans like it, the eating habits of the Terrans are still quite different in different regions."
Asuna replied seriously, this is true, different regions and living habits will form different cuisines, some small countries may have only one cuisine, but like the big foodie empire, believing that "the people take food as the sky", it is really a country's cuisine that can beat a group.
"Is that so? It's really curious. โ
Kizmael looked yearning, but it soon dimmed again, she had no chance to go now, because the war was not over, and whether she would live until the end of the war was something she was not sure of.
"So, what's next for you? I can continue to rest in the camp, and of course, it doesn't matter if I leave for the mission right away, I can do it. โ
After thinking of the current situation, Kizmel quickly finished the porridge in the bowl, and then said to Ling Ze and them.
"Neither, we're going to go back to the Terran town first."
Everyone looked at each other, and Ling Ze stood up and gave an answer, which naturally surprised Kizmer a little.
"Yes, do you need my help? My spell can send you around Terran towns, saving you time on the road. โ
After a brief moment of surprise, Kiesmael quickly returned to normal and offered to help them.
Although everyone was a little curious about this "teleportation spell", they finally chose to decline Kizmail's kindness, because unlike the natives of this world, it is their daily routine to kill monsters to gain experience, and they don't need to use this teleportation spell to avoid monsters, they have to kill all the way back.
After saying goodbye to Kizmer, the group left the "Dark Elf Camp" and quickly crossed the canyon shrouded in thick fog, looking back to see that the banner of the "Dark Elf Camp" had been obscured by the thick fog.
"We should be able to come back here."
Asuna asked, obviously frightened by her previous experience of not being able to find a way out, so she worried that she would not be able to return.
"Don't worry, no problem."
Ling Ze replied firmly, the current situation is different from before, and it is easy to find it back now.
Kirito opened the window and called up the map label, and at this time, most of the "Misty Forest" occupying the southern half of the third layer was still unclear, but the pavilion when he came up from the second staircase yesterday, the cave where the queen spider lurked, and the entrance to the "Dark Elf Camp" were all marked with points of light, and you should be able to find them back by looking at the map.
The group rushed into the mist, and under the leadership of Ling Ze, they soon came to the ancient road and began to move in the direction of the town, they had to go back to take over the task first.
"Kasha Kasha!"
A strange noise came into Ling Ze's ears, and he immediately stopped and motioned for everyone to prepare for battle.
Two seconds later, several slender black shadows that had lowered their bodies leaped violently from the depths of a large thick fog.
There are five beast-type monsters in the "Misty Forest", and there is only one monster of this size in front of you, with a bright yellow mane that stretches from the head to the back, and a long, thin nose bridge for a wolf.
"It's a howling wolf!"
Kirito immediately shouted, and Jerome naturally went up directly, the "main tank", "deputy tank" and Ling Ze stood at the front of the team, and the target of the sneak attack of these five exaggerated "roaring wolves" was naturally them.
Ling Ze kicked out and directly kicked a "roaring wolf", according to reason, the skill of "physical arts" is far less powerful than the orthodox weapon because the weapon is "hand" and "foot", but Ling Ze's foot damage is considerable, which can be called "a kick with 20 years of skill".
โduang๏ผ duang๏ผ โ
Jerome resisted the collision of the "roaring wolf", and he could even resist the collision of a higher-level boss, so it was naturally no problem to resist such a "little guy".
"Switch!"
Kirito shouted, and then he, Asuna, and Klein immediately rushed up, taking advantage of the time when the "Howling Wolf" was stiff, and a crazy output of speed and speed.
"Whew!"
The HP of several "roaring wolves" immediately began to drop rapidly, but the worst one was the one that was kicked away by Ling Ze, and its HP had dropped to a dangerous yellow area.
However, at the same time as being kicked off the battlefield, it also got a good opportunity, "yellow blood" triggered its passivity, the wolf propped up its body, posed in a sitting position and raised its head, shook its slender throat and made a wolf howl of "Ahh
"Roaring wolf" has the ability called "calling friends", and this monster is quite dangerous behavior, one is not good, will be surrounded by a group of "roaring wolves" to beat the group, so when encountering "roaring wolves" either quickly resolved, or you have to be ready to kill a group of combat.
The players of "Wind Forest Volcano" are bold and bold, and they came out to kill monsters and level up, so they naturally chose the following options, and after killing a few in front of them, they chose to continue to wait for the follow-up wolves to come.
Nearly 20 "roaring wolves" surrounded from all directions, if one or two players meet alone, eight achievements will kill the wolf's mouth, this kind of group monster is the most troublesome, after all, there is no group attack aoe in SAO, it is impossible to "mow the grass without equals" to clear the monster.
However, in front of the "Wind Forest Volcano" team, these more than 20 "roaring wolves" were a bit insufficient, and there were only two on average for one person, and the battle ended very easily.
However, after the battle was over, they soon noticed something else, it was the sharp metal sound of "bang", one after another, irregular, but everyone was familiar with this sound, it was the sound of swords clashing with swords.
After all, the name of this game is "Sword Art Online", and the sound of swords colliding with swords is not an uncommon sound in this game, but, in this "misty forest", there will be no ordinary monsters that can manipulate weapons like the kobolds on the first layer and the minotaurs on the second layer, and the monsters here are basically beasts, dryads and other non-human monsters that cannot use weapons.
Therefore, in this forest, there are only three possibilities for swords to swords: "forest elves vs. dark elves", "elves vs. players", and "players vs. players".
"Shouldn't it be a battle between players? Who would compete in such a dangerous place? And if it's not for the competition......"
Kirito spoke, preferring to believe that what was going on was a battle between the "forest elves and the dark elves".
"Just check it out, maybe you can help."
Klein said with a big grin that they have now joined the camp of the "Dark Elves", and if it is really the "Dark Elves" who are fighting the "Forest Elves", then they can also help, and they will be rewarded.
This war between the "dark elves" and the "forest elves" does not exist as one side of the righteous side.
According to the setting of the closed beta period, there is a place called "Sanctuary" on the floor above, which is sealed with some kind of powerful props, "Dark Elf" and "Forest Elf" are fighting because of the "Sanctuary", there are a total of six keys to the "Sanctuary", hidden in various places on each floor, and the player's ultimate task is to collect these keys for their side.
Killing the "Forest Elf" will also get the "Event Contribution", which can also be used to exchange rewards, although there are no particularly good items.
"Let's go, let's take a look, maybe it's a hidden plot!"
As a gamer, I always have an inexplicable passion for things like "adventures" and "hidden plots".
The "Wind Forest Volcano" team, which was confident in their own strength, did not hesitate or choose, and directly chose to approach the location where the sound came from.
Under the leadership of Ling Ze, they came to the scene of the incident without any detours and began to peep in secret.
The first thing they saw was a "bright flash", which was the special effect light of "sword skills", which was flickering intermittently.
One of the two sides of the battle was a "Forest Elf Male Knight" wearing a green cloak fluttering in the wind, with long golden hair, snow-white skin, and ears protruding from the sides of his head, but his appearance and body shape were completely different from the one Ling Ze had encountered before.
The "Male Knight of the Forest Elves" seemed to be fighting someone fiercely, and he was completely defenseless behind him, and standing behind him were five human players.
The five human players formed a semi-circular formation, all of them wearing similar blue backgrounds and silver equipment, which belonged to the clothing style of the "Holy Dragon Alliance", although they were not equipped with a truly unified uniform, but they were all forcibly equipped with a similar set, which was similar to the practice of the "Wind Demon Ninja Army".
"Are they doing the Emerald Key mission?"
Klein quickly saw that these guys were doing the same task they had already done.
"That's right, and they've chosen to side with the forest elves, but there's a critical issue......"
Kirito frowned, his face a little distorted.
"The forest elf... And the Dark Elves... It's not right......"
Kirito muttered a little weakly, he felt his head was dizzy, he was a little confused about the direction of things, everything was racing in the unknown direction.
Not only did the "Forest Elf" who was fighting the "Dark Elves" change their appearance, but the "Dark Elf Royal Guard" with black skin and purple hair, that is, the "Dark Elves" who were supposed to be Kizmer, also changed their appearance at this time.
The "dark elf" was dressed in black and purple metal armor, holding a long saber and a small iris shield in his hand, as well as light black skin and blue-purple hair, these characteristics were very similar to Kizimail, but at a glance, it was obvious that this was another "dark elf", because this was a male "dark elf", and even the most basic gender was different.
The "Dark Elf Knight", whose hair was combed all back, was almost the same height as the rival "Forest Elf Knight", with many muscles on both arms, and a handsome and fierce face, which seemed to give him the upper hand in battle.
Under Kirito's blank gaze, the "Dark Elf Male Knight" took a sharp step, and while dodging the "Forest Elf" long sword, he stabbed forward and hit the opponent, and the blonde "Forest Elf Knight" was knocked several meters away by this blow, and fell down after letting out a groan.
"Is this the normal outcome? Will the side we choose lose? โ
Ling Ze probably understood that if they had stood still like those of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" at that time, then the "Dark Elf Knight" Kizmel would have the same fate as the "Forest Elf Knight".
Sure enough, the plot continued, and the "Dark Elves" did not confirm the status of the "Forest Elf Knights", but instead looked at the players of the "Holy Dragon Alliance" with hostile eyes, apparently they had also had an unpleasant conversation before, making the "Dark Elves" full of hostility towards them, treating them as people who had to be killed.
The "Dark Elf" held its weapon alof, and the saber bloomed with a purple light, which was the special effect light that unleashed the "Sword Technique".
"What to do? Want to go up and help? โ
Now there are two choices in front of Ling Ze and them, one is to help the "Dark Elf Knight", after all, they have joined the camp of the "Dark Elf", but helping the "Dark Elf Knight" has to be the enemy of those five players, which seems a little unreasonable.
"If we continue to develop, it is the forest elf knight who was sent flying to launch a fatal blow, he successfully killed the dark elves, but he himself ran out of oil, and finally had to hand over the task to those players."
Kirito's face was entangled, according to reason, they shouldn't have made a move, after all, this is the beginning of someone's plot, and the result of them going in and intervening is afraid that it will directly make the task of the five players fail.
