Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

And Yi Guang was entrusted this time to collect the special material "Sphinx Core" in the pyramid ruins located on the second floor.And Kirito, who was entrusted by Asuna with him, went to the pyramid on the fifth floor with Asuna himself to obtain a material called "Mirror of the Sun".

In short, it is a very boring job of brushing and brushing...

Although Yi Guang's current level doesn't look very high, like Kirito's Lv.58, but with the help of external modules and "God's Domain", Yi Guang is not afraid of any dungeon challenges at all.If it wasn't for Yi Guang who could suppress his own strategy progress, the current players' strategy levels might not be forty. Of course, Yi Guang wouldn't do that, and it wouldn't be good for the growth of the players' overall strength.Moreover, Yi Guang has every reason to believe that the reason why Tan Lidou made so many feces-feeding operations of flying mothers is largely to suppress his cheating.For example, in this "world mission", the meaning of "you can't pass the level alone or with a few people" is almost written in the mission report.

Indeed, it is really impossible for Yi Guang to complete this "world mission" by himself.The number of materials required and the scope involved are too wide. Unless you are a programmer like Tan Lidou who can adjust the data at will in the game world, it is really impossible to complete it by yourself.As for Yi Guang, who was born in the combat department, in terms of controlling the world authority, he was just as scumbag as Tan Lidou's combat skills and experience.

After a short distance, Yi Guang and the system entered the edge of the forest. Due to the existence of the previous world boss, there should be a large number of high-level undead monsters entrenched here.Even in the fringe areas, the undead monsters here are higher than in normal areas, so the drops of "zombie bones" and other materials will be more abundant than in other areas.Therefore, this place has become a place for some powerful "bone diggers" to dig.Along the way, Yi Guang has seen several players above Lv.40 release various AOE skills here, ravaging the bones of these materials.

"Without buying and selling, there is no killing. Who would have thought that the second layer that we speculated at the time might become the biggest obstacle for newcomers, but now it has become a large-scale production base of 'zombie bones'." Seeing this, Yi Guang couldn't help shaking shook his head.

"Producing materials is the original sin..." The system also responded with a certain sigh of emotion, and at the same time smashed a skeleton warrior who wanted to attack him into pieces, "Just like Mr. Barbatos back then, he lived and died within a day." I don’t know how many thousands of times I’ve been reincarnated.”

Because of the hard work of these "bones diggers", not only the advanced players in the game have a large number of "zombie bones" to upgrade, but also the safety of the newbies who are leveling on the second floor is greatly guaranteed.After all, the refresh points with the most dense monsters and the highest difficulty are almost completely occupied by this group of "bone diggers". Lack of "chicken rib area".This kind of area is reserved for newcomers to upgrade, which is not bad.

"Well, from the map, the pyramid should be here." Yi Guang looked at the map again, constantly correcting his direction, "This group of 'absentees' understands the truth, and the population here has become more and more sparse. Woolen cloth."

As Yi Guang and the system moved towards the depths of the forest, the number of monsters encountered on the road increased, but the number of players decreased.This is not surprising, the appearance of the pyramid made these well-informed "bone diggers" suffer a lot. High-level monsters from the pyramid began to haunt this area where there were only a large number of low-level undead.Several veteran "bone diggers" accidentally overturned their cars in this place and became part of the undead creatures.Since then, most of the "bone diggers" no longer dare to come to the center of this area to work, and only dare to move around the forest.Only a very small number of high-level and skilled players dared to go deep, and even obtained very rare materials from those high-level pyramid monsters at this stage, making a fortune.

"It sounds like those very common 'dungeon mob teams', even if you can't clear the dungeon at all, you still have to earn something from the mobs." Yi Guang shook his head, "It's really 'seeking wealth in danger. ', this group of low-level players are not afraid of overturning."

"There are quite a few players who have overturned their cars, but humans are such creatures. If there are successful cases ahead, they will think 'it must not be me', 'he can and I can' and other ideas." The system shook its head and smoothly Another few skeletons were shot to death, "The end result is that some people get rich, and some people are killed by monsters."

"It can only be said to be innate...huh?"

While speaking, Yi Guang noticed that there seemed to be unusual movements in the forest ahead.He immediately interrupted the conversation with the system, and then exerted force on his feet, running towards the depths of the forest ahead at high speed.Seeing him like this, the system was taken aback for a moment, and then a golden light flashed in his eyes, and there was faint data flowing through that golden light.The system subconsciously nodded, as if it understood something, and showed a slight smile.

"Should I say it's a coincidence? I actually met you guys... It seems that our fight with Tan Li has a big impact on the trajectory of this world."

Just when Yi Guang noticed movement in the forest and was running towards this side.In the depths of the forest not too far away from them, two players in gorgeous armor were being chased by a group of warrior-type monsters who looked like they were made of yellow sand and held scimitars. Running around like headless chickens.This group of monsters is not only very different from the surrounding undead creatures in terms of style, but also looks extremely strong. When they swing their knives at will, the surrounding skeleton monsters are easily crushed.

However, the two hunted players are not weak, except for the obviously extraordinary armor that has been strengthened at a high level and looks very gorgeous.While running away, the two did not allow those monsters to chase and kill them. Instead, they used their skills in turn after escaping for a while, effectively suppressing the Huangsha warriors behind.Even after a few rounds of sword light, two Huangsha warriors were killed by them.It's just that there are too many of these Huangsha warriors, even if two of them are killed, it still can't change the status quo of their escape.

"I'm sorry, sister, I accidentally pulled too many monsters! It's obviously the second floor, isn't this monster too powerful?!"

"After all, it is a new version of the monster launched from the [-]th floor! This strength really deserves to be a monster from the [-]th floor."

"Sister, instead of lamenting the power of these forty-story monsters, you might as well think about what to do!"

"What should we do? That's it, let's just keep running, take them around in the forest, grind slowly, and we can always clean them up."

"I think we're going to get killed by them before then."

"How is it possible, it's just a mere monster, don't be afraid, Yuuki... Tsk tsk, it's so exciting!"

The two players were having such a conversation while running.The army of monsters behind them was getting closer and closer, and in front of them was a cliff on a hillside.

"It's a good opportunity ahead!" The player called "Sister" shouted, "The place in front can get away from them."

Saying that, the two figures jumped on the hillside, rolled along the mountain wall and fell down.But at this time, their eyes were tumbling, and they saw a shocking scene.

A strange figure jumped onto the cliff, with golden flames wrapping the opponent's body.They only felt a wave of scorching heat faintly passing over their bodies, and then heard a loud noise from above the cliff.

"boom--!!!"

Author's message:

PS: I am addicted to "Monster Hunter: World", and I don't care about coding, but I managed to get out of such a big chapter.

But I still have to say: "Monster Hunter: World" is really fucking fun!

Chapter 423 What a coincidence, it turned out to be you

When Yi Guang arrived at the scene of the accident, he found that the scene he saw was a little different from what he had imagined. While he was a little surprised, he was also slightly relieved.

There are two reasons for my surprise: first, the number of monsters is more than I imagined; second, the strength of the two chased players is stronger than I expected. With so many high-level monsters chasing, These two people were able to fight back against these monsters while running, and performed the "operation of A", which really surprised him.

Is there such a character in this group of "miners"?

With the help of "Magic Release·Flame", Yi Guang flew above the forest at a low altitude. The two spells of "Secret Agent" and "Invisibility" concealed his figure, and he had a panoramic view of the situation below.Seeing the situation at the scene, there should be no sacrifices, which made Yi Guang somewhat relieved that he hadn't come too late.The strength of these two people allowed them to survive safely, and their luck was that Yi Guang discovered them in time.

"Forget it, let's deal with these guys first, and then think about other things."

After locking the direction of the group of monsters and grasping the movements of the two hunted players, Yi Guang started to move.He revealed his figure, his whole body was burning with raging flames, and he flew towards that cliff like a big bird.And at this time, it happened to be the time when the two players rolled down the hillside.

"boom--!!!"

Blazing flames suddenly erupted in this forest.The terrible high temperature caused the surrounding air to undergo a drastic and rapid compositional change, and the resulting change in air pressure formed a "mushroom cloud" in the air similar to that after a nuclear explosion.It is equivalent to the destructive effect of the "cloud explosion bomb" explosion in reality, spreading in this forest.

"Fuck, when did this world start to follow the laws of physics?" Seeing the mushroom cloud he set off, Yi Guang couldn't help complaining, "Tan Lidou, are you so hardworking?"

Of course, Yi Guang also understood that now was not the time to complain about Tan Lidou, and at the same time as he casually said this, he immediately swooped down.At some point in this world, the laws of physics began to be obeyed. In this way, the move I just made might be the same as the real cloud bomb, which has the danger of suffocating the creatures in the surrounding area.

"It seems that you can't use this trick casually in the future, you must control the range of release..."

While thinking this way, Yi Guang swooped down like a hunting eagle, caught the two players precisely, and then went up into the sky.Fortunately, all players in this game wear armor with considerable defensive power when they enter the battle, and the armor of high-level players is endowed with a mess of resistance by various strange "modules". and skills.Therefore, even if they were affected by the aftermath of the explosion and the short-term hypoxia, the two players were still alive and kicking.

After they were caught by Yi Guang, they even struggled subconsciously and yelled for a while.These two players, who were very heroic in the face of monster chases, also behaved like ordinary little girls at a loss when they encountered sudden changes that they could not understand.

"what's the situation?"

"Why... are we flying?!"

Yes, the two players saved by Yi Guang are women.Although their bodies were covered in armor, they couldn't see their real faces, but judging from their height and posture, they should not be very old, and Yi Guang estimated that they were only twelve or thirteen years old.After realizing this, Yi Guang was somewhat surprised—these two people's talents are a little too good, right?To have such skills at such an age, even in this "death game" world, can be said to be outstanding.

Such two people should not be unknown, and depending on their level... Both of them are Lv. Not to mention a little low.No wonder they were chased by this group of monsters. The number of monsters was one thing, but their low level was another.

But why is the level of players with this technology so low?

With such doubts in mind, Yi Guang brought the two little girls to a safe place, and the system was already waiting at the destination.

"It seems that luck is good this time, and I caught up."

The system saw Yi Guang who was slowly landing, then looked at the two people in his hands, and couldn't help nodding.In this year, they encountered this situation more than once.Although it is not difficult to survive in this game with the current abilities of the players, there are always some dangerous areas in this game, and there are always some adventurous players who run into such places to die.Or those players of the collection system went to the edge of these dangerous areas to collect in order to pursue rare items with high interest rates, but unfortunately encountered high-level monsters and died... In this self-evolved quite perfect, among the monsters In the "game world" which has an extremely interactive ecology and is almost indistinguishable from the real world, this kind of thing often happens.

But even so, human beings' instinct to love death and pursue profit still drives a large number of players to walk on the edge of these dangerous zones.This is actually easy to understand. Now this group of players who have passed the period of fear of the "Game of Death" itself has begun to develop towards the group of adventurers in the two worlds of "Su Qing" and "Dungeon Encounter" up.

To become stronger, or to make money, the mentality of many players has unknowingly changed from "wanting to break the level" to pursuing these two goals.Even within the "Strategy Group", there are some people who just carry out raids to obtain more powerful "modules" and weapons-this is not bad, because "Killing other players can have a chance to obtain the opponent's body Items or equipment 'modules'", some unscrupulous players in order to become stronger and make money even formed a "killing guild" to obtain resources from other players.

And because this game is different from the original, it does not restrict newcomers from the outside world to join the game. Therefore, in addition to attracting a group of relatives and friends of the first-time players and special teams sent by various countries in the early stage, many of the follow-up players are specially from various places in Neon. Even people from all over the world came to the Bugster autonomous region in the neon capital circle to buy equipment and join this game.To put it simply, this group of people is living a miserable life, or they are desperate for the real world, and they deliberately come to have fun or experience a different life-needless to say, there are definitely a lot of mentally abnormal and heterogeneous people here.

Therefore, the "Laughing Coffin" guild in the original work also appeared in this magically modified game, and the scale and momentum were larger than in the original work.However, because the player base is much larger than the original book, this group of people has not reached the point of being out of control.Instead, under the stimulation of this group of people, a group of radical groups appeared in the strategy group and among the ordinary players, which was completely opposite to their purpose, with the highest goal of hunting down "killer players" - "Hunters".

As a powerful lone ranger, Yi Guang has dealt with both of these groups.As far as Yi Guang's own emotional and moral standpoint is concerned, he is naturally more inclined to the "Hunter" organization, and the other party even once offered him an olive branch, hoping that he could join, and promised him such a high position as the vice president of the guild .But firstly, Yi Guang's identity is a bit troublesome, and it's inconvenient to hang out with others; secondly, although the purpose of "Hunters" is good, but their behavior style is a bit too extreme, making them rejected by mainstream players just like "Assassin's Guild".Therefore, considering various factors, Yi Guang declined their invitation, and only contacted them as a peripheral partner, providing some clues about the "Murder Guild" or simply helping to crusade.

And in this process, Yi Guang has also seen the deaths of various players, and naturally there are many victims that he was only one step away from saving.Therefore, the system just said that just now, and he has already taken it lightly.Before he came to this world, he had already lost sight of it. He is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he has no surname. Of course, he cannot save everyone.It is enough to do what you can and pay attention to proportion.

"Thank you for saving us."

"Thank you."

After Yi Guang settled everything down, the two rescued players expressed their gratitude to Yi Guang.And Yi Guang made some negotiations with them, and by the way raised his own question on the sidelines, that is, why these two are so strong, but their level is so low.

However, Yi Guang received a series of answers, which surprised Yi Guang a little.Especially when the two players disarmed themselves, revealed their true colors, and reported their IDs, Yi Guang secretly sighed, "What a coincidence, it's you guys".

"I'm Lanzi, and this is my younger sister, Yuuki. I'm really grateful. I'm a bit too underestimating the enemy for a while, really..."

"Originally we went to the second floor to brush the bones, and then we just heard that a high-level dungeon appeared here, so we wanted to hunt those guard monsters to see if we could drop some rare materials."

"These monsters are very intelligent. We accidentally let one of them run away, but the other party called for friends. A large group came."

"We're actually not very keen on Raiders. We're currently stationed in a peaceful area on the 22nd floor. We, and our friends, don't really want to leave this world, so we don't really care about levels. We do Raiders and upgrades just for money."

Chapter 424 This World Is Great

After being rescued by Yi Guang, the two sisters told Yi Guang a lot of information under Yi Guang's insinuation.The first thing that surprised Yi Guang a little was their identities.

Lanko, Yuuki.

Although the former name is not very eye-catching in the original work of "Sword Art Online", as the younger sister of the owner of this name, the name "Yuki" has left a very deep impression on many people in the plot of the original work.About two years after the timeline of the original work, in the newly born "Aincrad" world after the events of "Sword Art Online" and "Dance of the Fairy", this little loli, who is only over 12 years old now, takes the name of " In the name of Absolute Sword, he defeated many powerful swordsmen including Kirito and Asuna with his self-created sword skill "Holy Chant" in the game, leaving a legend of his own.

However, while completing this legend, the girl's life is coming to an end.At that time, Kirito and Asuna, who had just met her, didn't know that this seemingly energetic little girl with top game skills was actually in a terminally ill state.Because when the sisters were born, their mothers suffered heavy bleeding due to an accident, and when they received emergency blood transfusions, they came into contact with virus-infected blood and became HIV carriers. The whole family has cases of that dreaded virus.

Modern medicine is not a panacea, AIDS, the official scientific name "acquired immunodeficiency syndrome".Like cancer, it is a terminal disease that can still make the modern people who claim to be technologically prosperous talk about it. It can only be alleviated, but it cannot be cured. Once the disease occurs, life will wander between life and death.Because the whole family became carriers of the virus, after the incubation period ended one after another, the sisters and their parents both developed symptoms of AIDS and began to receive treatment.During this process, the parents of the two sisters passed away one after another due to complications caused by AIDS, and the sisters were also dying under the threat of the virus.

In the original book, the sisters did not participate in the "Sword Art Online" incident, but three months after the "Sword Art Online" incident, they accepted the doctor's advice and joined the "Medicuboid" "In the experiment.At that time, due to the influence of the "Sword Art Online" incident, the "full stealth" technology was demonized by public opinion, and no one was willing to participate in the experiment. The sisters became the first batch of experimental subjects and entered another completely independent virtual world.And after the "Sword Art Online" incident ended, the "full stealth" technology entered other games after the vigorous development, and began to conduct normal network interpersonal communication.

And now, Yi Guang unexpectedly met the pair of sisters in this world of Tan Li Dou Mokai, which made Yi Guang rarely have a positive impression of Tan Li Dou.Because the two sisters look very healthy, and even because of the strengthening of the "module", they can be called "supermen"-you know, everything in this world is "real", so the illness of the two sisters, after entering When this world is strengthened, it is equivalent to healing without medicine. From this point of view, Tan Lidou has done a good deed.

"Because we don't have family anymore outside and are sick all the time, we don't feel like there's anything wrong in the world."

"We don't want to go out, maybe you don't know, every day in bed waiting for death to approach step by step, looking at the pity eyes of doctors and nurses every day, enduring the pain that hurts the bone marrow every day."

"The members of our 'Sleeping Knight' are all people who have similar experiences to ours. We are patients who have been treated in the same hospital."

"Mr. Tan Lidou, who funded our hospital, asked us if we would like to experience a new, healthy life, and then distributed the 'player drive' as a test product to those of us who are willing to participate in the experiment, Here we are."

"It was scary at the beginning, but we are already dying, and we are already satisfied when we can regain our sense of health. So, we all live an extra day to earn a day, and this idea of ​​​​playing this game .”

"But now we can initially adapt to this world, and we still have to find a way to survive. Therefore, we have to make money in this world, buy a bigger house, and then live in this world with everyone in the guild."

After all, they are two 12-year-old little girls. Even though they are precocious, they were a little wary of Yi Guang and the system at first, but under the conversation between Yi Guang and the system, two spiritual old monsters, they soon became like two little girls. Chirping like a bird.From their conversation, Yi Guang also obtained a lot of useful information.

"I suddenly felt that the existence of this world is not entirely a bad thing." After listening to these words, Yi Guang said to the system after thinking for a long time, "But what is the purpose of that guy Tan Lidou? This world has indeed saved the lives of these two children, and others who have suffered the same fate as them."

"Of course it makes sense!" Yuuki nodded fiercely, "I know, normal people like you, especially the strong ones in the 'Strategy Team', feel that this world is a heinous crime, and want to conquer this world and go out .But for us, this world gives us hope to live."

"Yes, no matter what other people think, we really like this world." Lanzi also looked at Yi Guang with a complicated face, "That Mr. Tan Lidou, although he may not be a good person, But for us, it is indeed similar to the existence of a savior. Although we have no right to interfere with others hating him, we feel that since you said such things, Brother Lansa, then we have been favored by Mr. Tan Lidou People should talk about their feelings. Of course, I am a little presumptuous, please forgive me. "

"It's okay, Tan Lidou's crimes are his own fault." Yi Guang shook his head, then looked at the surrounding forest, "There is no crime in this world itself, although Tan Lidou is a bastard, but the world he created The world is great."

"That's right, this world is great." Yuuki also nodded, and said in a sad tone, "Even if it's okay to say it a hundred times psychologically, we still don't want to die so early. We I also want to experience a normal life, I want to fall in love like a normal girl, get married and have a child of my own, this world..."

"Yuki..."

As the older sister, the slightly more mature Lan Zi suddenly interrupted her younger sister. Of course, she knows what attitude most people in this world have towards this world and Tan Lidou who created this world.Yuuki's sincere words may be an unbearable curse to others, a curse that this world will never be conquered.

"Brother Lansa, sister Musashi, really..." Lanzi looked at Yi Guang and the system apologetically, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"It's okay, as I said, this world itself is very great." Yi Guang waved his hand, signaling them not to be afraid, "It's just that the person who created this world is just a lunatic."

"Even after those players break through the level, this world will still be preserved." The system also said, "This world, no matter from which point of view, is an irreplaceable treasure. The technology that created this world is even more important." It’s a miracle that humans can’t comprehend. No one with a little brain would think of destroying the world after breaking the level.”

"Yes, no matter how this matter is resolved in the end, this world will have an extremely profound impact on the entire human race." Yi Guang also agreed, "The only one who needs to pay for this incident is Tan Lidouhe as an accomplice It’s just Kayaba Akihiko.”

In fact, there is still the second half of the sentence that Yiguang and the system did not say, that is: Even if this world no longer exists, it has been transformed by Tan Lidou's technology, and the players in this world, including Yuki sisters, cannot called normal people.Although it is hard to say whether the power obtained in this world can be used in the real world because of the difference in rules, but the physical characteristics of these players are definitely not human anymore.To put it bluntly, it is like the bodyguards that Yi Guang has encountered before, transformed into Bugsters, part of their bodies have been permanently digitized and energyized.

From this point of view, even if the Yuuki sisters return to the real world, they will still have a healthy body, and there is a high probability that they are too healthy.Probably playing with a boulder in the chest... Well, it seems indecent for a girl to play this, but it is very strong anyway.But it might be a little scary to say this, Yi Guang and the system think it's better for them to find out by themselves.

"Oh? Yes, is that so?" Yuuki asked with some surprise, "Will you really keep it?"

"Yes, as long as the brains of those in power outside are not broken." Yi Guang nodded, "Okay, we've chatted for a long time, do we need us to send you out?"

"No, no need." Lanzi shook his head, "The level of monsters here is not high, we are enough."
