Infinite Trial from the Giant

"Okay, it's almost time to start."

Dozens of players were sitting around the central square of Tolbana. Xia Tian, ​​Loki, Asuna, Liz and Kirito were among them. However, they did not gather together. Instead, they stayed separately and listened to the man named Diabel below who started to organize a strategy meeting.

After rescuing Asuna from the labyrinth area, Xia Tian and Loki explained the details of the battle to her all the way back to Tolbana. When the three returned to Tolbana, Xia Tian was once again urged by Liz, informing her that the strategy meeting was about to begin, so the three of them went to the central square together. After seeing Asuna following behind Xia Tian and Loki, Liz, who was sitting next to Kirito, also showed a meaningful smile, which Xia Tian simply chose to ignore.

"Hair dye is not sold on this floor. This color is really eye-catching." Sitting next to Xia, looking at Diabel's blue hair below, Loki couldn't help but whisper.

Ignoring Loki, Xia Tian didn't care about Diabel's hair at all. He was thinking about the issues related to the strategy for the first level BOSS.

Unlike Liz who only thought about completing the main goal, Xia Tian also included additional goals in her plan. The content of additional goal one happened to be to deal with the floor boss of the first floor, the Kobold Lord. According to the exclusive rules, the reward for the additional goal would only be given to the fighter who caused the most damage.

The highest damage value. This condition does not seem to put any pressure on Xia Tian when Lisi has no intention of participating at the moment. After all, even if Diabel does not assign them to the front line to deal with the BOSS, as long as they find the right opportunity to attack the BOSS, the damage caused by Xia Tian will definitely exceed that of Lisi.

However, there is a problem.

Are there other fighters here besides myself and Liz?

If other fighters join the battle, the result will be hard to predict.

Xia Tian's eyes slowly swept over the players sitting around in the field.

If there were fighters in the field, he who had come into contact with Asuna, and Liz who was with Kirito, would easily reveal their identities, but they had no way of confirming who the fighter was. After all, it was impossible to judge who the fighter was just by looking at the surface.

Xia Tian’s only advantage is that besides Asuna, he also has Loki on his side. Compared to Liz, who is in close contact with Kirito, his identity is still a little confusing.

"Thank you all for coming here today. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Diabel."

In the center of the field, Diabel briefly introduced himself and then got down to business.

"Today, our team found the boss's room on the top floor of the tower. We must defeat the boss and reach the second floor to tell everyone who is still waiting in the town of origin that this death game will end one day. This is our duty as we gather here now, right, everyone!"

"Will it end one day..."

In addition to Xia Tian and Liz, Loki, Kirito, Asuna and the other players in the field all had a different emotion because of this sentence. It was a feeling similar to seeing the dawn and hope. It must be said that Diabel's words ignited the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of the players present to some extent. After the low discussion died down, a warm applause broke out in the field.

"Then let's officially start the strategy meeting now. First, please ask everyone present to form a team. We can't rely on just one team to conquer the floor boss. We need to form a team again in the form of a team."

really.....

Asuna, who had been keeping her head down, moved involuntarily after hearing what Diabel said.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the boss will require you to form a team of six. Since you are entering the maze alone, you probably don't have any companions. If you can't find another team, just team up with us for now."

Before the meeting started, Xia Tian had already proposed this to Asuna, and she had only replied, "I'll consider it." But now it was clear that Xia Tian was right. He silently looked out from the edge of his cloak and found that most of the players in the field seemed to have known each other for a long time. When Diabel finished speaking, they had already gathered together.

Asuna silently withdrew her gaze, gave up the idea of ​​actively talking to others to form a team, and tacitly agreed to Xia Tian's previous proposal.

"There are only three of us. The full staff should be six, right? How about finding three more? By the way, Xia Tian, ​​don't you know those two people over there? They don't look like they have any team, so why not bring them in?" Loki said, looking in the direction of Liz and Kirito.

If possible, Xia Tian really wanted to pull Liz and Kirito in to make up the numbers. However, you have to know that Xia Tian and Liz have different goals. The latter only wants to complete the main goal, and according to the original plot development, if she had always maintained a two-person team with Kirito, she would inevitably be assigned to deal with the monsters summoned by the BOSS, and that would probably be exactly what Liz wants. The main goal only requires participation. Is there a better way to participate than to be responsible for dealing with the monsters on the edge and leave the BOSS to others?

So it goes without saying that Liz would refuse to team up with them.

"Are you short of people? How about joining us?"

Just when Xia Tian was thinking about how to put together a team of six, a voice came over.

A tall man with a braid on his head came up to the three people, followed by two other young men.

"There are three of you and three of us, which makes six in total. That should be no problem, right?" At this time, the man with braids spoke again.

Where have I heard this loud voice before?

When this thought flashed through his mind, Xia Tian did not hesitate, nodded, and replied: "Okay."

After Xia Tian agreed, the other party sent a team invitation, and Xia Tian immediately clicked to agree. After the other three people joined the team, both sides were stunned at the same time.

"Summer and Rocky?"

"N?"

"Sat and Kzar?"

Xia Tian really didn't expect that he would meet his teammates from the previous fight against the giant toad BOSS in this place.

"Ha, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you two here again. I couldn't recognize you without your cloaks." N, who also recalled the past, seemed very happy at the moment. When they were fighting the giant toad, everyone was wrapped in cloaks, so they didn't know what each other looked like, but N still remembered their names, especially that time, it was thanks to Xia Tian that the giant toad was finally defeated.

"I didn't expect to meet you again. I hope you can give me more advice this time."

"Each each other."
