NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 205
204. Proposal From ‘Old Driver’
The third floor of Aincrad.
The design theme of this floor is forest, but the scale and momentum are completely different from the forest area of the first two floors. The smallest tree here has a trunk diameter of one meter and a height of more than ten meters!
Looking around, it is full of big trees in the sky, and the subtle sunlight through the gaps between their overlapping branches and leaves gives people an atmosphere of an imaginary world.
“Wow–!
Just as Kiriko kept rubbing the back of her head, the long brown-haired rapier player gave a small cheer and ran to the forest with brisk steps.
Asuna, who was constantly spinning while enjoying the scattered sunlight, gave the three of them a feeling like a fairy in the forest.
“Awesome…the view alone is totally worth the price of climbing here! 35
Asuna said with a smile, her brown eyes filled with endless joy.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Nangong Yu couldn’t help asking.
“How does it feel? 99
“not bad.
Even though Edwise’s answer was still the same, but Nangong Yu still sensed the joy hidden in the depths of her silver-gray eyes.
But this is no wonder, although Edwins has experienced too many things, he has already seen through the world a little bit, and now he is only interested in the strong.
But facing this kind of scene that only exists in fantasy, even she can’t avoid it.
Asuna’s performance is already full of explanations, the attractiveness of these 513 fantasy landscapes to girls.
At this moment, Tong Zi coughed lightly and said to everyone.
“That…sorry to disturb you while enjoying the view…”
“What’s wrong?”
Nangong Yu asked gently, which also made Tongzi point to the north with some embarrassment.
“If you walk right from that road, you will be the main block, and if you turn left, you will be in a forest, and you can reach the next village through the forest.”
“…
“It was supposed to go to the main block first to activate the transfer gate, but I want to leave this task to those who follow.””
“…continue. 99
“As for the reasons, for personal reasons, I want to go to the forest on the left to complete a piece of work. For the celebration party…”
Speaking of which, Kiriko scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
Nangong Yu nodded understandingly.
“Really…then you can go to work first, I plan to go to the main city with Edwins first.
The two here didn’t have any opinion at all, but Asuna’s smile slowly disappeared.
On the other hand, there was a fierce light in her eyes.
“and then?”
Facing the cruel words of her best friend, the black-haired girl continued to speak timidly.
“…Well, I think it’s better to supply supplies first. If (abcf) Goasuna agrees, our four-person team will be disbanded here first…”
“Why? Don’t you and Nangong have a good relationship? What does it have to do with walking together?”
“that…”
In this regard, Tongzi’s expression instantly stiffened.
And Nangong Yu seemed to understand something, watching the development in front of him with interest.
Kiriko and Asuna became good friends despite knowing that there was a place he didn’t know.
But he really never thought that Asuna would be able to do this for Kiriko…
In this case…
Nangong Yu said, taking advantage of the situation.
“You have also contributed a lot in this strategy battle, let’s go celebrate a little together. Could it be that you didn’t see us as friends?
“No, no! How could I have such an idea!”9
Seeing this, Asuna also helped.
“If not, what’s the point of celebrating together? 35
“Good, good…”
Facing the assistance of his best friend, Tongzi struggled for a long time and finally nodded.
If she had known, she shouldn’t have told Asuna about Nangong Yu and the others…
“But before that, let’s go to the next village to celebrate.
Nangong Yu thought for a few seconds and then made a sound.
The news that the second floor was opened has definitely spread, and now that the portal is not activated, there are definitely a lot of people running to the third floor.
There may even be someone who has followed the traces they left before, and it is not necessarily the case that they have climbed the spiral stairs…
In order to avoid trouble, it is better to run away early!
After walking through the ancient forest road for more than ten minutes, the surrounding air suddenly changed.
Every step forward, you can clearly feel that the originally soft and beautiful fantasy forest has slowly transformed into a wild with cold hostility.
“The strength of the enemies that appear here is similar to that of the monsters in the second-layer labyrinth area. Almost all of them are animal or plant type, so they can’t use sword skills. 35
As an old driver, Kiriko spoke hard to several people.
Even though the information she possesses is only the data during the beta test, it is still much better than the three cute newcomers who don’t know anything.
“Also, the area here is a ‘fog forest’, and there are often thick fogs that make it very easy to get lost, and even the system map is difficult to see clearly. So even in battle, we must not leave this place. Road, we must pay attention to this! 35
“what?
“There seems to be something behind…”
At this moment, Nangong Yu and Edwins stopped.
His words also made the two girls slightly startled.
Asuna opened her eyes wide and looked back. At the entrance of the forest, which was slightly off the road, there was a slender dead tree.
The pale yellow trunk is fifteen centimeters in diameter and about two meters in height, which can be said to be much smaller than the surrounding towering trees. However, the two tree holes above were emitting a blue-white brilliance like eyes, and the branches extending to the left and right were also swaying like slender claws.
After the dead tree and Asuna stared at each other for a few seconds, the tree root on the right made a rubbing sound, and took a step forward from the ground.
A wobbly walk turns into a menacing sprint in the blink of an eye!
“It’s a plant-type ‘tree demon seedling’! It has several special abilities, one of which is that when it grows on the ground and doesn’t move, the player’s enemy search skills can’t find it!”
The black-haired girl said loudly, and at the same time she stretched her right hand behind her and drew out her beloved sword.
In less than thirty seconds, the dryad’s mouth was pierced straight by Nangong Yu’s tempered sword, and the poor fellow burst out with a sad ‘swipe’.
After taking the beloved sword back into the scabbard, Kiriko shook her head helplessly.
“It’s over… we’re still affected by the ability of the Dryad Seedling.””
“ability?
“Well, yes. In addition to the previous ability, this guy also has the five senses confusion skills of ‘body swapping back and forth’.
After speaking, Tongzi looked at the surrounding situation.
At this time, the four of them had already deviated from the ancient road before, and a slight mist gradually filled the surroundings.
However, Tongzi’s pretty face flashed a trace of excitement.
“If I remember correctly, it should be around here!”
“Task?
“Yes. 35
Looking at the confident Tongzi, Nangong Yu couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
Immediately, the black-haired girl put her hand to her ear and listened carefully.
“Everyone, pay attention a little bit and see if there are any strange noises or anything.”
“Strange sound?
“…All in all, it’s the sound of swords colliding with swords.”
However, when he heard this, Edwin said suddenly.
“In the southwest.””
The voice fell, and she walked straight over there.
Nangong Yu quickly followed without any hesitation.
With Edwise’s sharpness to swords, it’s not surprising that he could detect such a thing.
Staring blankly at the backs of the two as they gradually moved away, the two girls also reacted from their astonishment.
Apparently they didn’t hear anything…
“Wait! If it’s too far away, it’s easy to get lost!! 35
“Tongzi, slow down…”
