Under the concentrated fire of everyone, the second HP of the "Two-Headed Ancient Giant Tortoise" like a small mountain was finally about to disappear completely.

As we all know, monsters will "go berserk" when they enter the "red blood area" and change their attack patterns, so Ling Ze and the others, who don't know what tricks this "two-headed ancient giant tortoise" has, chose to retreat first, which can be said to be very cautious.

Standing a little farther away, they could see the whole picture of the "two-headed ancient giant tortoise", and they could see all its movements, and at this time, the two necks, front and back fins, and tail of the old turtle seemed to be wrapped around the turtle shell.

"It's not going to spin, is it?"

Seeing this action of the "Two-Headed Ancient Giant Turtle", everyone guessed as a matter of course, and it was indeed the case.

The "Two-Headed Ancient Giant Tortoise" spun violently, and it was completely impossible to see how it was exerting its force, but it did spin, but fortunately it was not outrageous enough to fly into the sky.

However, its high-speed rotation in the water caused a terrifying "big whirlpool", and if it was swept up in this whirlpool, even a large ship would capsize, and after the ship capsized, the people on it would not be spared.

"Luckily, we were able to retreat quickly."

Klein wiped a cold sweat, and then took advantage of the opportunity for the "two-headed ancient giant tortoise" to stop, and drove the "Tilnelle" forward quickly, with a fiery red hot angle of attack, violently slammed into the giant tortoise's flank, which was much softer than its back, and stabbed it deeply.

After a moment of silence, the "Two-Headed Ancient Giant Turtle" HP bar cleared, and the turtle shell on the monster's back spewed out several white vapors, and then its huge body swelled entirely, shrouded in blue light and exploded into data fragments.

The whole lake of Karudella has regained its calm, and after crossing the lake that is separated by a system of water, a short row should be a short way to the next village, which is a small village called "Usko".

"Forward!"

Klein shouted and continued to drive the boat forward.

The rowing gameplay of this layer is very novel, yes, but in the previous layers, you can directly rush out of the road and take shortcuts, but this layer can only go according to the planned waterway, which somewhat restricts the player's play, no way, even if your skills are good, no matter how good the equipment is, you can't directly "dry land boating", right?

"Wow! It's unbelievable, you guys actually did it, I can't help but wonder, if I give you a little more time, will you all be able to take on the boss alone? ”

The Tilnelle was moving forward, and suddenly, a player came after her, Argo the Mouse.

She wasn't swimming, she wasn't riding a gondola, she was gliding across the water, and she seemed to be faster than the Ternier, and she just caught up.

"You guy, what good things did you get again?"

Everyone was shocked for a while, and was taken aback by this guy who suddenly appeared, this "mouse" is really elusive.

Argo slid with his left foot with a "boom" and raised his right foot high for them to see, she usually wore boots, and the slippers on her slippery feet at this time were equipped with a very light-looking wooden float, which seemed to be a prop that could walk on the water.

"Is there anyone else who sells such things? If you found out earlier, you wouldn't have to work so hard to build a ship, right? ”

Kirito was dumbfounded, this shoe was too convenient, it looked much more convenient than taking a boat, and it was much more flexible.

"You think too much, the agility conditions required for this equipment are quite high, and you must also make every effort to reduce the weight of the equipment when using it, and if you lose your balance slightly, the whole person will fall into the water, and it is absolutely impossible to fight in this state."

Argo spread her hands, not that she didn't want to popularize, but that this prop didn't have the conditions for popularization at all.

"Come up and talk, there's just one seat."

Ling Ze beckoned Argo to get on the boat, and it was a little strange for her to run beside her.

Argo didn't refuse, she simply flipped up from the side of the ship, and the agility was like this.

"Let's go, go to Usko."

The name "Usko" is still what they heard from the mouths of NPCs, if the main block "Lobia" is the "Water City", then the "Usko" with the same style as "Robia" should be "Floating Village".

"Usko" is composed of more than a dozen huts, roads, and squares, and floats in the middle of the "oxbow lake" with balsa logs, and the whole village is constantly rubbing with the uninterrupted ripples, and if you stay here for a long time, you will be stunned.

Although the concept of "seasickness" does not seem to be designed in SAO, at least none of them have experienced the feeling of "seasickness".

Klein parked the Tillnelle at the dock in the corner of the village and tied it to a cable, which had no anchor because it wasn't that big.

There is only one restaurant in the village, located in the middle of the village, which is a restaurant with a tropical atmosphere, and an open-air terrace, where the NPCs are dressed up in cool clothes.

Since there were no other players, everyone sat down casually, and those scantily clad NPCs immediately stepped forward to serve, of course, just the normal service of ordering and serving.

"Take all the tasks that this village can take first, and then rush to the dark elf camp while doing the tasks."

While eating, everyone chatted about the next arrangement, which made Argo, a supernumerary, feel very novel.

"Aren't you going to participate? That Christmas Stronghold. ”

Argo asked curiously, it stands to reason that it was time to return to "Robia", because if he didn't go back, he might really not be able to participate.

The so-called "Christmas Grand Gala", which is a free and generous event where you can eat and drink to your heart's content, is not an official event, but is jointly organized by the "Four Guilds", and the venue is the Transfergate Square of the main block "Lobia" on the fourth floor, and the time is 5 o'clock this afternoon.

Since it was the first large-scale event led by a player, and there was no need to go to the front line to kill enemies, there were many players who participated, and the "Four Guilds" made use of the large amount of crab meat, shrimp meat, and bear meat accumulated during the mission, and it was said that they prepared a very hearty meal.

Of course, the reason why the name "Christmas Zhuangxing" is used is definitely to hope to recruit more players, and this event is also the result of the compromise made by the "Four Guilds", because it is impossible for anyone to hold it alone.

"We're not going to go, are you going to participate?"

Ling Ze looked at Argo, he thought that this girl was probably going.

"Of course I'm going to attend, so many people get together, it's so convenient for me to gather information of interest, besides, Diabel specially invited me.

I'll go when I'm done gathering information about the village of Usko, and I'm here with you just to get first-hand information. ”

Argo replied as a matter of course.

"Then we'll wait for you to finish collecting, and save yourself any more messing."

Ling Ze said with a smile, which made Argo a little speechless, and she also counted on the "Wind Forest Volcano" to help her.

"Then I'm going to charge double the price!"

Argo said viciously, this kind of patron who sits and watches her hard work, how can she be willing to slaughter a sum of money.

"Go ahead, money is not an issue."

Klein took over the conversation, and he pretended to be a big deal, which really made people want to give him two blows when they saw it.

"Eat, I'll go gather information."

After a cocktail and a few bites of food, Argo got up and took his leave, and began to rush around gathering information, which was to be published in the next issue of the "Strategy Manual".

Argo is using this kind of down-to-earth efforts and adventurous spirit to silently support the frontline strategy group.

However, even so, there are many people who are very disgusted with the person "Mouse" Argo, and even the production and sale of the "Strategy Manual" that has helped everyone a lot is taken for granted because she is a "closed beta player".

Of course, Argo's "all information can be sold" style of acting does make it difficult to trust her completely, and even the content of the conversation between them just now, if someone asks, she will definitely sell it at a price.

No one knows why she would rather carry out this policy with infamy, but she must have her own reasons, and she is probably willing to sell this reason, but the information about herself is very expensive.

"If you look at it this way, it seems that only us and the people of Akyll's team on the front line will not participate in this strong guild."

Kirito sighed that Achill had sent a message to ask them before, and the big black man felt that he was a little embarrassed to hold a "strong party" for himself, so he didn't want to participate.

"It's really not appropriate to say that the name of the Zhuang Guild is really inappropriate, isn't it generally spontaneous for the warriors who go out to fight?"

Ling Ze couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he didn't know what the leaders of the "Four Guilds" thought, maybe he wanted ordinary players to understand that it was not easy for their frontline players.

"Looks like it's snowing?"

Ling Ze looked out, the huts floating on the lake on the outskirts of the restaurant, the dry straw roofs had been dyed white, and the children of the NPCs who lived here were running out of the house excitedly while cheering.

The snow was very heavy, and the snow that kept falling quietly had accumulated about five centimeters before I knew it, and it looked like the "village of Usko" was emitting a faint white light.

Ling Ze and everyone looked at the snow scene in the restaurant together, and the feeling of enjoying the snow in the lake still has a unique flavor.

"Really, you're so laid-back!"

Braving the wind and snow, Argo, who had finally finished inquiring about the information, rushed back, and she came up with a jumping complaint.

But it's a pity that the world of SAO has not evolved completely after all, and the change of the four seasons is just a "season system" for players, and there is actually no too specific temperature feeling, so even if it is snowing outside, Asuna and Argo are still showing their legs, and they don't look very cold at all.

"Good work, it's a thousand kolls."

Ling Ze's response was very simple, and he directly threw Argo a thousand kore, and then Argo, who was still angry, immediately smiled.

"Atmosphere! Atmosphere! Say twice as much, twice as much! ”

Argo didn't expect Ling Ze to be so easy to speak, she just said twice was actually just a joke.

"If it's okay, I'll leave first, and I'll rush back to attend the Zhuang Xing, bye-bye, I hope you all the best."

Argo didn't stay much after getting paid, although she regretted that Ling Ze and their "Wind Forest Volcano" and Achill couldn't participate, but this kind of great opportunity to get a bunch of information, she wouldn't easily miss it.

"I hope you're doing well too."

Ling Ze said goodbye to Argo, and then replenished consumables in the snow-covered "Usko Village", and also took over the task that Argo had inquired about.

"The Ternier! Let's go! ”

After doing what had to be done, the crowd set sail again.

Although it was snowing heavily, their vision was only slightly hindered, and the ship sailed without any problems, and they continued south along the waterway and river.

Soon, they saw a huge gray tower looming in front of them, extending to the bottom of the upper floor, that is, the "Labyrinth Tower" that towered over the southernmost part of the fourth floor, and further on, they were almost to the maze area.

However, when they arrived here, Ling Ze and the others did not continue to move forward, but turned to the southeast at the fork in front.

Soon after advancing, the color of the tall cliffs on the left and right sides began to change little by little, and the black basalt-like surface was carved with dense and slender parallel lines, almost like a carved work, and after walking for a while between the strange cliffs, the front was blocked by a completely white wall.

It was a wall, but it was just a fog that was so thick that it was substantial, and the "Tirnelle" rushed headlong into the thick fog.

The moment the "Tilnelle" rushed into the thick fog, the fog dissipated as if it were a deception, and everyone's vision suddenly became wider, and the cold and wet air seemed to carry the refreshing fragrance of the forest, and in front of them was a circular lake several times larger than the "Lake Karudeira".

"Is that the castle of the dark elves?"

Looking at the pitch-black silhouette that appeared in front of them, Asuna and the others were a little shocked, standing in the middle of the lake, there was a majestic castle with a majestic appearance, the top of the castle covered by thick snow, protruding four minarets of different heights, and the tip of the pennant was hanging, and the black cloth was the coat of arms of hornhorn flutes and scimitars.

"It's the banner of the Dark Elves! Sure enough, it's here! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were according to the previous task prompts, all the way to find here, here will be the "Elf War" activity mission again, like the third layer is ten consecutive tasks, although the fourth layer has changed a lot, but at least this has not changed.
