A young man with glasses who was passing by looked around and saw the sound of dripping water. The towering trees were beating in exactly the same way, without any changes.
"If we don't solve this anomaly, we may not be able to get out of this forest."
Leng Shuang's eyes scanned around, looking for anything unusual, and Asuna looked around vigilantly to prevent any strange abnormalities that might occur.
'Crash...'
'Crash...'
Apart from the sound of rain and wind, there was no other unusual sound.
The chill was becoming more pronounced. The new high school students had huddled together to resist the biting cold, and their lips had turned a little pale.
"If something weird appeared directly, we could still take action to solve it, but this... we don't even know where it is? Besides, we don't even know if there is anything weird in this forest."
The passerby shrugged and said helplessly.
"I have a way, let's try it."
Lin Ye's words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Asuna's beautiful eyes were fixed on this man, a man who was only one level higher than her. Having experienced several strange events, she knew that any strange player who could get to this point would not be a simple character.
"Since it is the forest that blocks our way to the villa, I suggest destroying this forest."
Silence spreads.
This method seems very unreliable.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
"It's raining now, we can't burn it." Leng Shuang touched the wetness and dampness on the tree trunk.
If it was a sunny day, they could set it on fire, but in the current situation, it was impossible to set it on fire. The fire could not be started at all, unless they used specific weird objects, but using weird objects to burn the forest was not cost-effective.
The forest has not been completely burned, but people are probably the first to be eroded by the weirdness and become new weirdness.
"cut."
Lin Ye looked at the young man with glasses passing by and said, "Brother, as an experienced player, you must have a way to cut down the trees!"
"You think too highly of me. I definitely can't chop down such a large forest by myself, but chopping down a few trees shouldn't be a problem. I brought some very suitable tools with me."
Next second,
A passerby held a red metal chain with ferocious teeth in its hand - a chainsaw.
Is it a prop from a 'weird game' or a real tool?
You can't tell just by looking at the outside.
"Brother Zero, I hope your judgment is normal,"
The passerby pulled the chain saw, and the roar of "sizzling" sound rang out for an instant, diluting the sound of rain and cold wind.
Lin Ye, Asuna and the others made way.
"By the way, Miss Leng, you have to protect me. The forest has been destroyed, and the hidden monsters may appear and attack me."
Leng Shuang nodded.
Having experienced several strange events and missions, they have become more or less wary of some unusual changes.
Lin Ye and Asuna's focus is on protecting the safety of the newcomers.
"Sizzsssssssssss..."
‘Click…’
A big tree cracked.
'boom……'
The big tree fell with a loud bang.
The first tree fell.
Everyone looked around vigilantly, but did not notice any changes.
"To the north."
The passerby didn't hesitate and swung the chainsaw towards the thick tree to the north.
The sound of "sizzling, sizzling..." continued to be heard, wood chips flew, and yellow wood powder scattered, but quickly fell to the ground under the washing of rain.
The second big tree fell.
The third one.
There is still no change.
This made the passers-by who were cutting trees wonder if Lin Ye's judgment was wrong again, and whether that guy was deliberately making fun of him.
'boom……'
A fifth tree fell.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew up, and the wet leaves fluttered and scattered.
The sound of "whoosh" was particularly harsh amid the noisy sound of rain. In an instant, Leng Shuang's vigilance reached its highest level, and a sharp black dagger appeared in his hand.
'Shuh! '
A black shadow jumped out from the muddy ground and pounced on the passers-by.
"drink!"
Leng Shuang shouted, bent his body slightly, and rushed forward with the dagger in his hand stabbing straight forward.
But the figure behind him avoided it at a slight distance.
The sudden change in just a few seconds caused the new high school student and the beautiful career woman to change their expressions drastically. The black shadow whose face could not be seen clearly seemed like a monster from hell, constantly releasing a terrifying aura.
"Don't run around,"
Lin Ye warned coldly, "Running around will only make you die faster."
These words made the career beauty nod vigorously, but her body involuntarily moved closer.
The high school student wanted to get closer to Asuna, but Lin Ye happened to pat his shoulder and said, "Go to the back."
"Oh oh oh!"
The high school student immediately obeyed and went to the back.
And now,
Leng Shuang's agile body continued to fight with the dark shadows in the woods.
Lin Ye praised the skill endlessly.
An absolute expert, not on the same level as him, a wild player.
"Brother, keep chopping down the tree. We've forced it out."
The moment the black shadow appeared, it showed that their method was correct and cutting down trees was an effective way to leave the forest.
The passerby immediately picked up the chain saw and said, "You think cutting trees is easy!"
"I'm not good at physical activities." Lin Ye shrugged.
"hehe."
The young man with glasses started again, "sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
The black shadow tried to stop him, but Leng Shuang stopped him forcefully.
'boom……'
A sixth tree also fell.
The wind suddenly died down and the rain gradually weakened.
This is the most obvious hint.
"quick,"
When Lin Ye shouted, the passers-by immediately put away their chainsaws, turned around and ran to the north. The two newcomers reacted even faster. The desire to survive had made them want to escape from here, but they knew that without the protection of the old players, they would only die faster.
And now,
They can run free.
"Asuna, take care of the two newcomers."
Asuna glanced at this and nodded.
"Miss Leng,"
"You're not leaving?"
"We are teammates after all. If I really let you stay alone, it will affect our subsequent cooperation."
Leng Shuang did not answer, his eyes fixed on the black shadow. Until now, the shadow was hiding in the intersecting shadows of the jungle and did not reveal a circle.
"Back off in order."
The cold frost slowly retreated,
The black shadow tried to launch an attack but was stopped by Lin Ye.
Leng Shuang narrowed her eyes slightly because she found that she didn't catch Lin Ye's movements at all.
A few minutes later,
The six people retreated from the forest one after another, and the black shadow finally gave up as if accepting failure.
"Unable to leave the forest, or do they know they have no chance of attacking us in the clearing?"
No one can answer this question.
The group of six were now standing on a green open space, which formed a sharp contrast with the forest wet with rain and wind a second ago. Here, birds were singing and flowers were blooming, and the air was filled with pleasant scents. In the blue sky, the dazzling sun was hanging high, releasing light and heat that warmed people's hearts.
Everyone had a trance feeling as if they had entered another world.
"villa."
A European-style villa was located on an open space about a hundred meters away. A figure appeared. It was a maid wearing a black and white maid uniform. She was bending over and using a watering can to water the plants.
She didn't notice the person coming from a distance, but was concentrating on her own affairs.
"I suggest we take a break first. Miss Leng and I both need it." said the passerby.
It takes a lot of effort to cut down trees with a chainsaw, but he cut down six thick trees in total.
Leng Shuang naturally had no objection.
The newlyweds had already collapsed on the ground, both of them were covered in stains, especially the career beauty's high heels, the heel of which had broken. She took off her other high heel and tried to remove the heel of this one as well.
"I'll help you,"
Asuna took action.
'Shuh! '
A slender Western sword flashed by and cut off the heel of the high-heeled shoe flush.
Lin Ye became more and more certain that this 'Asuna' was the heroine of Sword Art Online, Honzina.
"Brother Zero, you asked me to cut down the sixth tree in the end because there were six of us?"
"Ah."
"What if I don't cut it?"
"Maybe...someone will be left in that forest!"
Lin Ye looked towards the lush forest he had broken out of.
Looking from this angle now, the forest is green and full of vitality, and has nothing to do with gloom and depression.
"It's just a possibility,"
Lin Ye smiled.
But he felt the gaze from Leng Shuang.
Given the situation at that time, if nothing unexpected happened, she would be the last person left in the forest.
