The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

Chapter 34 Strange! Transformation!

A few minutes ago.

Li Xia and his five companions saw the red smoke spreading from the attack of the [Man-eating Grass with Fruit] from another direction of the Man-eating Grass Forest.

Realizing that someone might be in danger in this area, they immediately rushed over here.

Twenty seconds ago, they were very close to here, with only a bush of one or two hundred meters in between.

Then, they also noticed the weirdness of this area.

In the field, a blonde girl was dealing with a high-level elite wild monster called a humanoid dragon, and was in danger.

Outside the field, in two different directions, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a one-handed sword and a small shield and a teenager about fourteen or fifteen years old actually hid behind the trees to watch the battle.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to plan to take action at first, but after seeing the blonde girl's wonderful response performance when facing the humanoid dragon, he might have a heart of love for talent, so he took action at the last moment.

The other teenager should have used the invisibility potion in advance to hide his figure.

After all, when they just came here, that is, when they were more than 200 meters away, they did not see the boy's figure at the first time. It was not until the invisibility potion expired that the boy's figure was revealed, and was noticed by the few people who accelerated into the 200-meter range.

Yang Jie, Wang Teng and the other four did not feel anything about the middle-aged man and the boy.

But when Li Xia saw the two, he was very surprised.

The middle-aged man's face was exactly the same as the game character created by Kayaba Akihiko in the later period of the SAO game world.

The boy was the male protagonist of this series: Kiritani Kazuto, referred to as Kirito.

He was surprised that Kayaba Akihiko would appear here. After all, the "hero saves the beauty" plot in this place is a link that belongs to Kirito in the subsequent patch set, and it has nothing to do with the old underworld of Kayaba.

He was also surprised that Kirito was not the rescuer who happened to pass by here as shown in the anime patch set, but arrived early, waiting for the hero to appear when Asuna was about to die and capture her heart.

"Strange, Kirito is this kind of person?"

"Also, where did he get his invisibility potion? That thing is rare."

Many questions surrounded his heart.

But Li Xia knew that this was not the time to think about it.

He had to save Asuna quickly.

The sword in the girl's hand had been knocked away by the gorilla-like humanoid dragon, and the whole person was thrown out.

Before getting up, a bloody mouth had already bitten down.

A scene was about to be staged.

Fifty meters...

Forty meters...

Kayaba Akihiko saw that the girl seemed to be hit by some system information and had really reached her limit, so he controlled the 10th-level uncle account he created to attack. He rushed out from one side, jumped high and swung the sword, and accurately slashed the left eye socket of the high-level humanoid dragon.

On the other side, Kirito saw that the time was ripe, and he also controlled his level 12 character to kill. In the air, he performed a 720-degree spiral dance like a gymnast, and then cut the other eye of the humanoid dragon with a sword.

The humanoid dragon was also in pain after being hit by two heavy blows in an instant:

"Aohou..."

It immediately abandoned its prey Asuna and transferred all its hatred to the two people who suddenly appeared.

'Huh? There are people around besides me? '×2!

The middle-aged man and the young man stared at each other for a moment, and then turned to face the humanoid dragon.

But before they could finish off the monster, five figures rushed out from the side of the slope!

"Puchi, Puchi..."

Five high-burst skills hit the humanoid dragon almost in order.

It was Li Xia and his five companions who completed the finishing blow.

"Bang."

The high-level elite monster exploded into a spot of light and disappeared.

The experience bar of the five people moved forward a little bit.

Li Xia, who used the high attack damage of the "Shadow Dagger" to complete the last attack, not only gained double experience, but also got an item reward.

"Are you okay? How much health is left?"

Li Xia turned around, his eyes passed Kayaba and Kirito, and fell on the girl who was looking at him in a daze.

She was covered in dust and was in a mess.

She didn't have the grace of the shining girl in the later period.

It seems that she still needs to be tempered.

You can't live without madness.

Asuna now lacks a lot of things.

"Thank, thank you... I'm fine."

At the most desperate moment, she was rescued by several high-level players who suddenly appeared, and the girl's heart was already in a mess.

She didn't know who to thank specifically and who to thank the most.

At this time, Kayaba Akihiko, who had already looked at Li Xia and others with interest, nodded to the five people, and then turned and left.

He originally admired the dying blonde girl, and saw a little potential in her to become a member of the front-line strategy team, so he planned to save her and recruit her to serve him in the middle and late stages.

Now, the person has been saved, but it is not just his favor.

There is no point in staying here.

And this time, I met Li Xia, a young man worth looking forward to, which is a pleasant surprise.

Very good skills, and a very high understanding of the SAO skill tree. When it reaches the 100th floor, it must be very interesting to fight against him:

'Young man, grow up well and quickly, but don't die halfway; I look forward to the moment when you finally stand in front of me and swing your sword at me. '

"Uncle, thank you."

Asuna stood up and bowed almost ninety degrees in the direction Kayaba left.

Kirito, who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, but actually observed the situation calmly, took out a map and a dozen potions from his backpack and handed them to the girl:

"Give it to you.

These should be enough for you on your way back to town.

Live well and beat this damn game together. "

He was obviously anxious, but he didn't dare to show it.

His original plan to save the beauty as a hero turned out to be superfluous.

‘Mistake, mistake, I shouldn’t have used the effect of the invisibility potion to get so close before. The hiding just now was probably seen by those five people. ’

Therefore, he could only change his plan and try his best to let the girl accept his kindness and benefit from him, leaving a breakthrough for continued communication in the future.

In case Asuna refused, he put the things on the ground in front of the girl and turned around and left.

You can't stay here for long, for fear of something bad happening.

"Thank you."

The girl still bowed and bowed.

I am really grateful to the heroes who saved her, and I am really grateful to these people for allowing her to live.

"Well, let's talk about it later."

Kirito walked in a hurry.

From the perspective of outsiders, it is a social fear of being embarrassed to live with many people.

But Li Xia always felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that the kind and simple Grandpa Tong in the original novel was disguised?

The real Kirito, after experiencing the backstabbing from his teammates who were testers, is actually already a very real guy?

never mind.

Why do you want so much?

As long as Kirito still performs normally, learns and masters the dual-sword style, and then serves as their side's insurance to challenge Kayaba and clear the level on his behalf.

Who doesn't want to win?

As long as Kirito took out the dual-sword style for the first time, the target of the confrontation was not the 74th floor Kakugo boss but Kayaba Akihiko, and Kayaba did not deliberately collect all aspects of Kirito's data in advance; as long as Kayaba and Kirito were duel , someone exposed the former and asked him to turn off the system assistance and have a fair fight with Kirito.

With the two major factors superimposed, GM Kayaba Akihiko is likely to overturn.

And this was originally a small tentative gift prepared by Li Xia for Kayaba.

It's best to clear the level as early as possible.

If Kirito fails, it won't be too late for them to try again.

Because of this, not only did he not suppress or interfere with Kirito's growth these days, he also vaguely reminded Kirito in advance of the importance of the afternoon of the first day of the open beta.

"Is this Kazuto Kiritani who is a little different from the original work really reliable?

Plus, he actually forgot my voice! "

During the transaction with Kirito in the real world, although he used the transformation technique to disguise himself, his voice did not change at all.

Well, it's been almost a month and it's normal to forget about his voice.

"And Kayaba, why are you here?"

So many doubts.

…

"From here, you can go to the nearest town, Holunka Village, or to Torbana in the north. If you go there, we can go together. Of course, you can also go back to a farther place but the level of wild monsters The lowest starting town, Asuna, where do you want to go?”

"I have to go back to the starting town to see if my friends have returned..."

The girl's voice gradually became lower.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

The two sides said goodbye.

Li Xia was not in a hurry to invite the other party to join the guild.

This girl is still waiting for the final transformation of her character.

At that time, Asuna will be the real shining Asuna.

Only then will it be possible to grow into a strategy ghost in the later stages of the original work.

…

After the girl returned to the tavern in the starting town alone, she found that her best friend was not around, and a bunch of hair on her forehead fell down without any energy.

Immediately, his lips trembled and he hid in the bed and fell asleep.

This night, she slept very uneasily. Because she had a dream, and the beginning of the dream was extremely beautiful. She dreamed that the "exit button" of the game appeared, and she successfully returned to the real world, met her parents and brother, and her family prepared a rich meal for her. dinner.

But in the blink of an eye, she saw the scene of her best friend Tu Ze being surrounded by man-eating plants and then abandoning her.

She wanted to grab her friend's clothes, but she was awakened from this dream.

"It turned out to be just a dream."

Standing up from the soaked pillow at the head of the bed, her nose suddenly sore and her eyes blurred.

I opened the door and went out for a walk, and heard a lot along the way.

"I have been trapped in the SAO game world for three weeks, and more than 300 players have died."

"It is said that the beta testers suffered the most losses. They seemed to have been deceived by their inherent knowledge and experience during the closed beta."

"You deserve it, let them leave us ordinary players behind..."

"Oh, so many people have died, and it's been so long, but we haven't even found the first-level gatekeeper boss yet. This is simply incomparable to the closed beta period."

"When can we enter the next level?"

"When can I clear the 100th floor and leave this hellish place?"

How did these people know that if it weren't for the intervention of some people that changed a lot, and if it still developed according to the original timeline, then more than 1,800 players would have died by now!

In a few days, this number will have to be increased to two thousand!

More than 300 people have died now, which is already a blessing among misfortunes.

…

Start in the town square under the clock tower.

The blonde girl chewed a piece of black bread for a gold coin, thinking a lot in the rain.

When she slowly stood up, her aura changed:

"I was left behind.

It's no different from those ordinary players.

Is this my current situation?

But even if I die...

At least I have to choose my own way of dying!"

Her eyes became particularly determined and sharp.
