Villain in Comics

The content of the quest is to get the ovules dropped from man-eating plants, but the chance of dropping this item is very small. The two teamed up to kill nearly a dozen of them on the road, but they did not gain anything. The only good news is that Kirito has been upgraded. .

Waving the novice sword in his hand, Kirito found that the feeling of fighting became stronger and stronger, as if he had returned to the scene of killing monsters by himself and upgrading during the closed beta test.

"Snapped--"

The subtle sound caught Long Xikey's attention, and he turned around cautiously. The sound just now was obviously not a sound that a monster could make.

After seeing Long Xikey's actions, Kirito also became alert.After a day of fighting, the two of them already had a good tacit understanding. Almost after Long Xikey's reaction, Kirito also held the novice sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight.

Then, a person appeared in front of the two of them, not an NPC, but a real human being.

The man's age seems to be similar to Kirito, and his height is also a little taller than Kirito. The armor on his body was purchased in Horuka Village like Kirito. She purchased a light leather armor and a round shield. Weapons Like Kirito, it was a novice sword used in the early days, but the sword did not leave the scabbard.It seems that the person in front of him is planning to fight.

Seeing that the girl in front of her had no plans to fight, Kirito and Long Xikey put down their hands on the weapons. When the girl saw the movements of Long Xikey and Kirito, she showed a stiff smile and lowered their heads.

"Hug... I'm sorry, I scared you. I should have said hello." The girl's face was pale, and she didn't know if it was because of nervousness or what.

"...No, we are overreacting here, right? Xikey." Kirito responded timidly after hearing this, and turned his head to Long Xikey.

"........."

Long Xikey didn't say anything, just looked at the girl in front of her to see what she was going to say next.

"Congratulations...Congratulations on your upgrade, it's really fast."

The girl's words made Kirito shrink his neck, then glanced at Long Xikey next to him, then shook his head with a wry smile and thought, "This guy in front of you is leveling up faster than me, but he didn't say it, so he had to face it. The girl said, "It's not too fast.... To be honest, aren't you too fast? We thought it would take two or three hours to see someone coming to this forest."

"Ahaha, I thought I was the first to come here, because the road here is really hard to find." The girl burst into a hearty laugh.

This person is also a beta tester, and this idea popped up in the minds of Long Xikey and Kirito. The two looked at each other, and it seemed that the two had the same idea, and then the two nodded lightly and continued to look in front of them. of this girl.

"You should also be on the quest of 'The Secret Medicine of the Forest', right? Huh? Your weapon doesn't seem to be a one-handed sword." The girl asked, seeing the weapon on Long Xikey's body.

'A sickle?...' Looking at the weapon held by the boy in front of him, the girl's heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Although it is said that the most basic equipment can be purchased in nearby towns, she has never met an NPC who sells scythe weapons, even in the previous closed beta.

And the strange two-color pupils of the young man in front of her made her feel a lot of pressure, as if the cold expression could freeze her inner soul!

"Ah...my name is Lislett."

The girl who was stared at by Long Xikey said her name.

"Long Xikey."

"Kirito."

The two of them said their names in unison, and then there was a strange atmosphere between the three of them.

"...Then since we have known each other... let's level up together! I believe we will level up soon."

Lislet's laughter broke the dead silence. After listening, Kirito thought for a while and nodded. In his opinion, although he likes the upgrade of being alone, but now is an extraordinary period, if the three of them fight together , the upgrade speed will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Long Xikey didn't have any opinion on this, and directly sent out a team invitation to the girl.

"Huh? It's almost level five!? It's so fast~~~~~~~"

After entering the team, Lislet couldn't help exclaiming when she saw Long Xikey's level.

You must know that I have also been in this town since last night. Except for a short rest and necessary rest in the middle, I spent the rest of the time trying to level up. I didn’t expect that the guy with the scythe in front of him was almost level 5!A whole level higher than himself!

However, after seeing Kirito's level, Lislet's heart was slightly balanced.

Since the team setting of the two is 'non-hidden level', Lislett can easily see the level of the two from the team information, and this is also the primary setting for team formation in this game.

After all, as a member of a team, if you don't know the level and occupation of each member, then the team's combat cooperation will be greatly reduced, or it will lead to the possibility of team destruction due to improper cooperation... ....

Although he doesn't have much contact with games, he still knows the most basic common sense.

Lislett's words made Kirito a little helpless. One of his internal beta players has not been able to level up as fast as someone who played this game for the first time... But Kirito is also very clear that the monsters along the way are basically the same. They were all destroyed by Long Xikey.

Kirito basically doesn't shoot very much in battle, and implements the role of support, only when he encounters a big chaos monster.The experience value distribution of team strategy is calculated based on the ratio of damage to monsters, so Long Xikey's level is almost 2 levels higher than his.

When leveling up, he obviously added a little strength, but it didn't do as much damage as Long Xikey, who had completely increased his agility. This was what made Kirito a little depressed.

"Well, that... well, it's nothing, let's do it together!"

Lislet seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

Kirito nodded after hearing this, while Long Xikey focused his attention on Lislett.

She's not really such a pretty girl, maybe she's used to seeing her, so she has high eyesight~~~~ But Lislett in a knight costume gives people a very heroic feeling, especially her tall figure makes her Looks more like a real female knight.

The next battle also proved that Lislett is worthy of being a beta tester.

The intuition of fighting is very good. Although it is not as good as Long Xikey and Kirito, it is also in the top class among the beta testers.

She is quite clear about the attack range of the one-handed sword, the behavior of monsters, and the timing of using sword skills.Although it seemed a little too defensive in Long Xikey's eyes, considering the current situation, it was a matter of course.

In the end, Lislet naturally attracted the attention of the monster, while Long Xikey and Kirito took the opportunity to attack the monster's weakness with all their might. The three of them kept turning their prey into polygonal fragments.

Although the hunt went well, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the three of them are in a rather strange situation.

The three of them haven't talked about the current situation of SAO since the beginning. Is Kayaba's declaration true?If I die here, will my self in the real world really die too?What will this world be like in the future...?

Looking at the figures of the two fighting next to them, Lislett thought that Kirito and Xi Key must have these questions in their hearts, but the three of them only talked about this mission from beginning to end.And the dialogue is quite natural.

Chapter [-] The battle between them

The team of three made the battle more efficient.

Where they are now is the 'Lost Forest', but along the way has continued the same unchanging scenery, so boring that the body is about to melt like butter.

At least Long Xiyao feels this way at the moment.

From the top of the surrounding grass, there was a sound of Xixi Susuo, and close to the man-eating plants with their big mouths, they emerged from the gaps in the trees. This was their favorite way of sneak attack, and many animals died. Under this trick.

But apparently they were unlucky today. Before the big mouth full of barbs and strong corrosive mucus had touched the prey, Lislet easily blocked the attack of the man-eating plant with a round shield.

The man-eating plant that was blocked from attacking had not had time to retract its big mouth, and was easily cut off its neck with a sickle by Long Xikey on the side.

The dark green juice spurted out immediately, and the originally straight rhizomes gradually softened.

This time, I hit the target beautifully, and at the same time as the head of the huge flower rolled down, the whole body exploded. …

"Huh - so boring, is it already level 6?"

The level has risen again, and Long Xiyao still adds all the ability points to the agility.

"abnormal......."

Lislet, who was beside her, muttered aloud.

Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Long Xikey and Kirito.But the two of them didn't say anything. Kirito was fine, he was used to such things, and Lislett, who had just joined the team, was seeing Long Xikey's strange attacking ability, agile speed, and super-fast upgrades. After the method, they just said angrily 'perverted'......

Seeing Lislett's indignant look again, the corners of Long Xiyao's mouth habitually twitched.This Lislett is still very interesting from a certain angle~~~~~~

"Oh, still no... It's been an afternoon, and I haven't found a single one!"

Lislet checked the materials she had just revealed during the battle, and found that apart from some plant roots and sap, there were no items from her and Kirito missions.

"...still didn't show up."

Then Kirito also let out a sigh.His voice sounded tired.Five hours have passed since Kirito, Long Xikey and Lislett went hunting together.The three of them together should have knocked down nearly [-] piranhas, but there is still no 'flower' that can burst ovules.

Kirito shrugged and said, "Maybe the probability of appearing is different from when it was in the beta test... I've heard in other MMOs that when the game officially starts operation, the drop rate of rare treasures will be lowered."

"There is indeed such a possibility... Then what should I do? The level has almost risen, and the durability of the weapon has consumed a lot. Do you want to go back to the village first?" Lislett suggested at this time.

Since she belongs to the class of close knights, the durability of her equipment wears down much faster than the two of them. After nearly an afternoon of massacres, the durability of her equipment is almost exhausted.

"All right......."

At this time, Long Xikey's freshness of fighting monsters gradually decreased from the previous kind of fighting monsters, not to mention that the current three people's Kerr is enough for them to have a place to live tonight. After Lislett's suggestion, Long Xi key is accepted.Kirito also nodded.

However, at this time, the 'Lost Forest' had no plans to let the three of them leave. A sturdy vine that was stronger than the roots of any plant blocked the way for the three of them.

"This......."

The green flowers hissed out their tongues like venomous snakes, and from time to time their tips showed sharp barbed fangs.

"What to do? Fix it?"

The two turned their attention to Long Xikey at the same time. After all, the highest level in the team was Long Xikey, and the corresponding ability to lock the enemy and distinguish should also be outstanding, at least the level of the monster in front of him could be seen.

But looking at the monster's appearance, it doesn't seem to be very low......

While Kirito and Lislett were waiting for Long Xikey's analysis, the monster did not hesitate at all. While screaming like piercing the eardrums, dozens of vines with the thickness of the arms spread from the side!

It's full of sharp spikes!Countless fine marks were drawn on the original yellow-colored ground.

"Be careful, level 9 monsters."

Long Xikey's voice made the hearts of the two who avoided the attack of the vines tremble.

Level 9, according to their current level, is already a relatively difficult boss.What's more, they are not in the best state at this time, their weapons and equipment are worn to varying degrees, and they don't know if they can resist the monster's attack.

"Are you ready? Go ahead as we said earlier!"

As soon as Long Xikey gave instructions, the two immediately dispersed to fulfill their respective responsibilities.

Before starting to prepare to attack, both Kirito and Lislet were temporarily away from the range of the monster's attack.The huge vine still stayed in its original position, using only its flexible tentacles to track the movements of the three killers.

It seems that the monster is probably thinking about who to attack first this time.

Although Lislett couldn't understand what the enemy was thinking in her hard-skinned mind, she could still sense that the other party was looking down on her.

'Let it know how good we are! ' Lislett's heart encouraged herself.

Lislett was farther in front of the enemy, Kirito kept a certain distance and moved around the monster, and Long Xikey was on the other side of the target.After arriving at a certain place, Kirito's movement path suddenly became a straight line, and he rushed towards the monster in one go.

In response to Kirito's offensive, Long Xikey on the other side also took the same action.Lislett kept slashing the vine tentacles that had spread to support the two of them.

The monster's attention was attracted by Lislet's attack, so the response to Long Xikey and Kirito was half a beat.This is also because it underestimates the relationship between the three.Long Xikey and Kirito quickly rushed towards the vine, planning to attack its rhizomes from the left and right sides at the same time.

The vines and limbs of this monster are extremely tough, so hard that they can be used directly as armor or weapons.While it is possible for a greatsword to break the shell based on the weight of the sword and the speed at which it is swung, this cannot be done with a one-handed sword.

Therefore, Kirito aimed at the seam between the opponent's huge head and limbs, that is, the part of the rhizome.

In order to avoid the approaching Kirito, he swept a tentacle of the monster.

When an object with a size and weight similar to that of an adult whizzes past near the top of the head, no one will be afraid of it.However, since the monster has to be distracted to deal with Long Xikey on the other side, the attack point is not accurate enough.Dodging an attack of this magnitude was not difficult for Kirito.

Kirito approached the rhizome, which had sunk into the ground to support his huge body.If you look closely, the joint part of it is very obvious.Kirito swung his novice sword while running, but he didn't slow down, so he slashed the weapon at the monster with the strength of his whole body.

"how so!?"

Kirito's slash did hit the seam between the head and the limbs.However, the strength of the rhizome under the opponent's head that has been supporting its heavy body for a long time is also extraordinary, and it seems that it is not easy to inflict heavy damage on the opponent with a single blow.
