The piranha-shaped monsters that only appear in adventure novels are actually very weak, with low attack power, low defense power, and large size. The easy part to deal with is here.

Mana looked at the three in front of her, and at the same time glanced guiltyly at the swamp shrouded in mist behind the piranha.

There must be other monsters there, but Mana hasn't learned the skill of finding enemies. Even if there are really scary monsters there as she imagined, she can't find the monster's cursor.

Tightening the sword in her hand, Mana moved her steps slowly, her concentration unprecedentedly concentrated.

As long as you treat them calmly, these monsters are not her opponents at all.Knowing this, the psychology of fear is more or less relieved a lot.

As she thought, only three monsters were not enough to fear.Just as she thought, after solving the three monsters, a group of monsters followed.

Immediately, a chilling sense of fear rose in my heart.No matter how weak this monster is, this number can't stand it...

The distance from the monster was only about ten meters, and Mana felt chills all over her body when she thought that she would soon be surrounded by this kind of monster that kept showing terrifying jagged teeth.

She had no time to think about where Liar had disappeared.

She tried to analyze her situation.There are groups of piranha monsters in front of them. Plant-type monsters usually have the ability to spit poisonous mist, and this kind of monster with a huge mouth but no eyes cannot sneak attack.Therefore, it is unrealistic to go around a blind spot to attack this.

Is it only left to face the enemy head-on...

If Mana was careful, she would have noticed that among the three monsters she just killed, only one had vines growing underneath, probably because the vines spread too widely, causing her to mistakenly think that the three monsters were the same .

That monster is a rare monster that cannot be killed.

Once that monster is killed, it emits a special smell that attracts all nearby piranhas.In other words, it was herself who got her into this besieged situation, and of course she wouldn't know it.

She tried to use the concealment skill of her second skill slot, but it had little effect.After activating the skill but still being accurately captured by the monster, she understood that for this kind of monster without visual senses, concealment is of no use at all. Eyes of the monster are yet to be verified.

"Ah-ah-"

Mana kept waving the sword in her hand to activate the sword skill. The short CD time does not mean that there is no lack of it. She was bitten by the monster a few times, and her HP was slowly decreasing.

The monster's attack power is not high. As we know before, this kind of monster is very weak, but the recovery speed of the potion that restores HP is so slow that even the damage of this monster can't keep up.

If it goes on like this, she will definitely die.

There was a constant roar in the throat, and the girl's crisp voice became sharper.

Mana, who gradually became red-eyed, began to focus only on the present. She just thought that even if she was attacked by the monster behind her, her HP would not return to 0 immediately. This kind of flower is usually a normal attack, and the probability of activating skills is very small. , the chance of falling into a frozen state is also very small, even if the RP is poor enough to be attacked by it to freeze, the duration will not be very long.

But she overlooked one point, weak monsters have their unique damage moves.

Mana fell into a paralyzed state because the monster behind her released a poisonous mist.

Mana, who was kneeling on the ground and unable to move, saw the dense monsters surrounding her, eating away at her HP bit by bit, but she didn't panic at all. The five senses seemed to become extremely sensitive at that moment, and the surroundings seemed to be slow. The movements are the same, the sound is good, and the scenery is good, they all pass slowly as if they are about to welcome her death.

With a wry smile, Mana let go of her hand, and the sword that fell on the ground instantly shattered into pieces and dissipated in the air.

Even if she wasn't paralyzed, she couldn't stand it anymore. Just now, the durability of the weapon was about to reach its end. After these two days of struggle, she forgot to repair the weapon.With the shock of landing, the last bit of durability also disappeared.

Without weapons, how do you rush out from this group of monsters?

The virtual and real death approached at the same time, Mana quietly closed her eyes.

Die like this, without feeling pain, maybe it’s not a bad thing...

While she was quietly waiting for death, those piranhas were attacked fiercely and decisively.

Mana opened her eyes in surprise because she heard the sound of fragments scattered after the monster died for no reason.

In front of him was a dark blue figure, which was extremely obvious against the surrounding dark red background.Before Mana could react, the blue color flashed in front of her eyes in an instant, and then, the dying wailing of the monster sounded behind her.

She turned around sharply, watching the figure slashing at the monster very quickly, and the knife in her hand displayed a high-speed attack that did not match the characteristics of its weapon at all.The ruthless sword skills are also quite different from the innocence she used when she used them.

She felt that she had been hit hard.The flora that was about to kill her was almost solved by this mysterious figure who suddenly appeared in a few breaths.

And when a few minutes passed, the other party put away the knife calmly, and turned around slowly, she was speechless in a daze.

Those sharp gray-blue eyes were just seen not long ago, and they frightened her for a while.

After taking off the cloak, the man revealed an extremely handsome face, as handsome as a magazine model, and his broken black hair became a little messy due to the action just now, which made him look indescribably good-looking.It's just that the eyes are too sharp, very scary.

He frowned and stared at Mana, his expression seemed to be dissatisfied with something.

Mana took a step back in fright. She couldn't remember offending this person.

Turning his eyes away in disdain, the man walked up to Mana and stretched out his hand towards her.

Looking at the hand with sharp knuckles, Mana took a few steps back in fright. She suddenly misunderstood that this man was going to beat her...

And what she did was to make that person stare at her hand, his expression darkened, and the person grabbed Mana's hand and took her away...

"Hey!"

If he was dragged away for no reason, who knows where he would be taken?Mana completely forgot about this person's evil appearance, in fact, it was this person who rescued her from the crisis of death just now.

The man turned his head and looked down at Mana, who was a head shorter than him. His eyes were no longer so fierce, but the message of "Don't defy me" revealed in the deep gray blue was very strong. Let Mana take a look. The son shut up and was led away obediently.

And after 10 minutes, Mana let go of her hanging heart, because this person just took her to the nearest village.

This is a very small village, not even a supply store, only some villager NPCs.It should be purely for players to settle down and rest when they are tired from fighting monsters. Maybe there are also tasks related to the map of the swamp here.

She was taken by that person to a farm house. A couple in their 40s lived in a two-story wooden attic. According to the NPC's dialogue when they entered the door, there should be their teenage children upstairs.

After entering the room, the man let go of the two holding hands and walked straight towards the NPC.Mana stood at the door, watching the man skillfully manipulate the window, and then said a sentence in a slightly deep and pleasant voice, and the NPC gave a corresponding reply after recognizing it.

The man's voice was suppressed very low, but he couldn't hide the clear and clear voice that was unique to the young man inside. It may be that he hasn't spoken for a while, and his voice is still a bit hoarse.

This person...is a college student...

Thinking of the juniors of the same line that Liar said, Mana realized something.

This person doesn't look much older than himself, but he is already a college student...

I don't know how long I will be trapped in SAO, and the fact that I might confess my life here makes Mana feel a big block in her heart.School, you are still in class, next year will be the third year of high school, if this continues, does she still have hope of being admitted to university?

Speaking of Liar...

It was only then that Mana remembered the missing person. She called out the window in a panic, and then called up the map. Seeing that the location of Liar shown on it was at the edge of the swamp just now, she suddenly panicked.

She ran to that person's side regardless, and tugged at the sleeve of his dark blue cloth.

"That... Lial... he's still hovering around the place just now..."

"It's too dangerous, go save him..."

Since he is a junior, then of course this person should be worried about his seniors.

Mana looked directly into those gray-blue eyes, and she no longer had any fear at this moment.This person's vision was not always so sharp, and now he maintained a kind of indifference.

"are you an idiot."

It was the first time this man spoke to her, and Mana blinked, digesting the meaning of his words.How can such sarcastic words be said to someone who is talking for the first time, it is too rude.

His peaceful gaze became a little dull. There was no expression on this person's face, and the tone of his speech was flat. It felt like a cold sculpture. It was beautiful, but it was not angry, and some were just uncomfortable. .

Is this guy the one with the sharp eyes?

Mana had the illusion of such doubts.

"He'll be fine." The man shook off Mana's hand, walked to the stairs leading upstairs, and pointed to the upstairs.

"You can live here."

"Don't go near that guy again."

"He's dangerous."

Mana didn't understand the meaning of his words at first, but later realized that he was referring to Liar, and immediately felt a stronger sense of confusion.

The icon of Lial on the map is moving steadily towards the town on the other side. Since the icon is still there, Lial is still alive.

Think about it carefully, Liar is already a master of level ten, how could he fall into the hands of those monsters?It was probably just being entangled by a large number of monsters. At that time, the two may have separated because of the direction of the monsters. Since they are fine now, there is no need to worry too much.He has already gone to the opposite town, probably to adjust his state for tomorrow's battle. When he passed by, he saw that the town had a good supply storefront.

Post a message later...

As for this mysterious boy, Mana subconsciously didn't want to think about it, let alone take it to heart. There is no reason for this subconscious behavior.

Some things, it will be a headache to understand.

Mana went up to the second floor, and the NPC waiting there was a half-grown kid, probably the naughty child the couple downstairs said.

As soon as Mana approached, the kid turned his head, and spoke the lines written in the system long ago in an undulating and stiff tone unique to NPCs.

"Are you just going to rely on the traveler in my house? If you want to live in my house, you have to buy me sugar."

This is a mode of NPC. At this time, as long as you say YES or other affirmative words that can be recognized by NPC, you can move in, and then you only need to pay a certain rental fee to let the child buy candy.

Mana was still not used to talking to NPCs, so she nodded in panic and said "OK."

She went to the room to have a look, it was very spacious, there was a big bed covered with quilts, fresh vases were placed on the round wooden table, and light blue curtains were hung on the windows that made people feel at ease.Just by looking at it, I knew it was much more comfortable than an empty hotel.

She suddenly felt very comfortable. Just now she paid the three-day accommodation fee, which was only 150 cole, which was the same price as the hotel in the town of beginning.

She was going to go downstairs to thank the man.

It might be a little late, but make sure to say thank you, thank you for his life, thank you for bringing her here.

But downstairs, there are only two NPCs, a woman in a sweater sitting on a rocking chair and an uncle wiping farm tools.

That person is gone...
