Chapter 387 You Are Just Smiling Coffins?
Aincrad.
On February 1st, the strategy progress was 64%, level 65.
The environment on the 65th floor is like a resort island, just like the Alola region of the Pokémon world.
"Master, why didn't you participate in the offensive strategy earlier? With you and Mr. Madara, wouldn't it be possible to get out soon?"
Kirito was lying on a beach in his swimming trunks, basking in the sun and taking a sip of soda.
Recently, for some unknown reason, Izuna, who had never participated in the strategy battle, suddenly entered the front line to participate in the strategy, which made the entire strategy team breathe a sigh of relief. Now the players in the strategy team feel particularly relaxed.
When Quan Nai appeared for the first time, the closed beta players who were hiding in the strategy group recognized him immediately and were extremely excited, but they did not dare to recognize Quan Nai.
They didn't dare to expose their identities as beta testers, and they didn't dare to expose Izuna's.
For those unknown players.
They were all cheered up by Quan Na's joining, because Quan Na was so powerful, beyond their imagination.
In particular, the damage dealt by Quan Na was completely unreasonable, causing many players to speculate that Quan Na might have some unique hidden skill.
Nowadays, Izuna is called the ‘Sword Master’ by players.
If it weren't for Izuna's joining, how could the strategy team have broken through 14 floors in a row at the speed of the team?
You must know that in the first two months, the strategy team could only reach 12 levels a month, and later on, it could only reach six or seven levels a month.
However.
In fact, a month ago, when they had just finished conquering the 50th floor of 'Deep Sea Hunter', the conquering team was in a completely different state.
In that battle, two Pokémon died.
In that battle, in order to allow players to have output space, Pokémon played an unparalleled role. They used various skills to control the two bosses.
However, it is precisely because of this that these Pokémon can easily attract the hatred of the Boss. In addition, since they are underwater, the Pokémon cannot move very fast, which also leads to deaths.
In fact, just looking at the number of deaths, this doesn't seem to be a big deal.
But the death of the Pokémon and the painful howls of the two 'neglecters' were really impressive.
This scene did not scare away ordinary players, but it made many trainers shy away.
They don't want to lose their Pokémon.
As a result, 300 of the 800 trainers who had been insisting on rotating strategies on the front line left after that battle, which greatly damaged the morale of the strategy team.
This will not affect the speed of the strategy in the short term.
But as time goes by, the original trainers' combat volume increases, their rotation speed increases, and their mental pressure increases, which will soon affect the whole team.
Trainers and Pokémon are the core forces in the strategy battle. When their combat power decreases, problems will naturally arise in the entire strategy process.
If Izuna and his Katy Dogs hadn't suddenly joined in and had a very good battle with Madara and Madara's Katy Dogs, perhaps they wouldn't have been able to clear even the sixth floor this month.
".When we get to the 100th floor, I will tell you why."
Izuna glanced at Kirito and said nothing.
The reason why he suddenly helped the players with their strategy was because this was a request from Dak's side.
Dak felt that the players were too slow to conquer the 50th floor in half a year. The difficulty of the next 50 floors would probably take a year to pass, so he sent the powerful combination of Quanna and Katigou. Got in.
The effect of Madara + Izuna is not a simple 1+1.
Especially now that both have the blessing of passive skills, they are even more powerful than they were during the closed beta period.
Regarding the strategy.
Madara didn't care, speed or slowness didn't matter to him.
Anyway, he thought it would be okay to slowly lead a team in this game, and it felt pretty good to watch his weak female apprentice become stronger step by step.
This is an experience that Madara has never had in Qiwu.
Because Qiwu is a super genius, he was a child prodigy who had already opened three magatama and awakened the wood escape blood succession limit when he was six years old.
What Madara taught his daughter, Qi Wu could learn it in no time.
Although this has basically never made Madara angry, he still can't get any sense of 'successful development' experience.
"100th floor."
Kirito began to guess what the master would tell him on the 100th floor.
He had already begun to imagine that when Izuna was on the 100th floor, he wanted him to go to the gym in a certain place in Neon, inherit the true mantle of Uchiha-style swordsmanship, and become the next successor to the gym.
"The murder guild hasn't been solved yet?"
Suddenly, Izuna interrupted Kirito's thoughts.
At the same time, he also took out a knife made by Lisbeth and admired the blood lines on the blade.
There are two things that fascinate him the most about this game. One is Kayaba Akihiko’s fantastic designs, including but not limited to monsters and maps; and the other is the weapon patterns that are difficult to see in the real world. .
"Um."
When Kirito heard Izuna mention this, his expression turned gloomy.
Half a month ago, a guild called [Smiling Coffin] suddenly became famous.
And the way he became famous was by killing people.
There are many recreational players in the lower area, and some of them are tourist parties who enjoy admiring the scenery in the game.
The members of the guild [Smiling Coffin] attracted many tourists to a closed room by releasing the slogan of "discovering a wonder".
A closed room is a hidden room in the map. Such a room may not spawn monsters, but it must have one characteristic - it is impossible to use the teleportation crystal to leave.
The ending is also predictable. The weak tourists were lured into the closed room and then killed by the members of [Smiling Coffin].
This incident shocked all the players in SAO.
After all, those red-named players killed people with a clear purpose in the past, basically for rare equipment, props and other things.
However, [Smiling Coffin] killed people just for fun.
What good things can a group of players who are at the bottom and whose levels may not exceed Lv.10 have that are worth coveting?
They just simply like to kill these players, listen to their begging voices, and see their desperate expressions.
So the severity of this incident made everyone hate this guild.
[Avengers] and [Wanderers] have been tracking down the existence of this guild, but
After half a month, this guild still hasn't disappeared, and is still carrying out murder activities from time to time, which is enough to show the achievements of the two guilds.
But it's not that they haven't collected any intelligence at all.
Only a few people know about Zack's torture method.
No one can withstand Zack's torture, because he has a special skill that can make the person he attacks feel 100% pain.
Under Zack's torture, they learned that the [Laughing Coffin] guild has a total of 52 people, with an average level of Lv.58, and no trainer.
Zack has led people from the [Avengers] to encircle and suppress 28 of them in half a month, and there are still 24 people alive.
This group of people are waiting, and they will jump out and take action after the number of levels of the strategy is increased and there are more places to hide.
"Don't worry about it, just focus on the strategy, I'll take care of the next guild."
"Eh? Master, do you know where they are?"
Kirito was confused, and when he looked to the side, Izuna and Growlithe had disappeared, leaving only one sentence.
"Growlithe can be found."
"Woof!"
... .
On the 20th floor, there is an underground maze that no one has ever discovered.
A group of players with red IDs on their heads sat around here, sitting expressionlessly in this dark corner.
Although the death of several guild members was not a pity for these murderers, they were not happy either.
The lips and teeth are cold, and they might be the next to be killed.
The death of their accomplices constantly put pressure on their hearts. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around them, no one knew whether it would be their turn next.
Many of them have already begun to regret joining this murderous guild on impulse.
They even thought about hiding for a while, and returning to ordinary life when they turned yellow again.
However, for now, no Red Name can safely live to the period of becoming Yellow Name.
Bang.
Suddenly, something fell to the ground.
Everyone looked and saw that it was a round ball, and it seemed that there was liquid flowing out.
Someone threw a fluorescent stick, and instantly everyone's scalp numbed, drew out their weapons and stood up suddenly, and looked around with their backs to each other.
It was a human head.
When they saw the head, the mouth on the face was still opening and closing, as if the person didn't realize that his head had fallen off.
"Who is it?!"
"Damn, how was it discovered."
"Could it be that there is a traitor who surrendered to the enemy?!"
Some people began to doubt their companions around them. The tense atmosphere made them on the verge of collapse. They looked around with ferocious faces, and no one was willing to believe it.
"You are just smiling coffins?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness on all sides, and it was impossible to tell where the person was.
"Don't pretend"
A Red Name started to curse, and halfway through his words, a kunai shot directly into his throat.
He couldn't kill him, but he was frightened by the red name and collapsed. He sat on the ground and dared not move. He held his neck with both hands and argued painfully on the ground.
"Look at you guys, die."
The person who came was naturally Izuna.
Izuna was able to find the location of the Smiling Coffin so quickly not because of Caterpie, but because he went offline to find Kayaba Akihiko to investigate the coordinates of this group of people.
This group of people seriously slowed down the pace of the SAO players' strategy, but Kirito and Zack couldn't get rid of this group of people in a short time, so Izuna had to take action.
