When they heard the system notification, the listless girls suddenly jumped up.
"The Lord has been defeated!"
"We can go to the sixth floor now!!"
"Let's go!!"
As they cheered, the girls came to the side of the Teleportation Crystal and quickly teleported to the sixth level's starting town. This was also Fangzheng's order. Although the path would open after every battle, most players wouldn't immediately head to the next level. This was because no one knew what was on the next level. Therefore, many players would rather wait a little longer, waiting for others to scout the path before heading there after obtaining accurate information.
The girls under Fangzheng were naturally the most adventurous. They were skilled and daring, not to mention that Fangzheng had specifically instructed Asuna and the others to immediately explore the sixth floor once the Lord of the fifth floor was defeated. Since they did not need to fight the boss, they could rest and recharge their energy. Naturally, they gathered their energy and went to the sixth floor.
"Don't accept any quests yet. Let's explore the surroundings and see what kind of monsters there are here."
Everyone was already very familiar with Fangzheng's search process, so when they arrived at the sixth floor, Asuna immediately gave the order. Then, she thought for a while and quickly made a decision.
"Miss Aster, take Green Leaf, Qi Hai, Shi Nong, Lifa, and Miss Ling Yin to take care of the swamp. I'll take the rest to the forest. Don't stray too far from the safe zone. If you encounter an enemy, return immediately after confirming the situation. We'll gather here in 30 minutes."
"Got it."
After hearing Asuna's order, Aster nodded, then led her people out of the town and walked in the direction of the swamp. Asuna took a deep breath and led another group of people to the forest.
The map of the sixth floor was different from the previous few floors. Everywhere was covered in fog, just like entering a haze. Visibility was limited to a distance of two to three hundred meters at most. Everything in the distance was shrouded in the hazy fog, appearing and disappearing. Fortunately, this was a game, and everyone had their own game map. Otherwise, if they got lost in the swamp, they might not be able to get out.
"Ugh …. This place is so weird …. The swamp is so disgusting …."
Stepping on the slippery swamp, Lifa had a bitter look on her face. Aster glanced at her.
"Be careful, there might be a bottomless swamp here."
"Eh?"
Lifa was taken aback when she heard Aster's reminder.
"Is there such a thing as a bottomless swamp?"
"They exist in real life."
While looking around, Esther said faintly.
"But in this world, I'm not sure. Still, it's better to be careful. We once saw a young girl being dragged into the Bottomless Swamp, and she almost didn't come back."
"Woo …"
Lifa shivered when she heard Aster's words. Then, she cautiously looked at her feet. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that a bottomless swamp would appear in the game world, but considering the nature of the game.... who could say for sure?
"Esther is right. It's better to be careful."
Ling Yin smiled and patted Lifa's shoulder. At the same time, she looked around speechlessly.
"But this layer of fog is really thick. I wonder what kind of monsters are in this layer …."
"In any case, it's better to be careful."
Shi Nong, who was holding a spear in her hand, was still silent. She looked back from time to time to confirm the safety of the people behind her, while reminding them in a low voice.
"Our vision here is very poor, and the swamp's situation is not very good. The ground is slippery and soft, not suitable for fast movements. I have to report this to Mr. Fangzheng."
"Woo …."
While Qi Hai looked like he was half-asleep and half-awake, sleepwalking beside everyone.
"Monsters, hurry up and come out. The longer they don't come out, the more uneasy I'll feel …."
Lifa muttered to herself. She took another step forward, but she suddenly felt that what she was stepping on was not the soft and sticky swamp from before, but something that could move ….
What is it?
Lifa lowered her head curiously. She lifted her foot and looked down. Then, her expression changed. Under her feet, several huge centipedes were crawling around. Some had even climbed onto her shoes!!
"Centipede! Ahhhhh!
Along with an ear-piercing shriek, Lifa jumped up as though a spring had been installed in her body. She swung her leg with all her might, trying to get rid of the centipede on her leg. But the centipedes did not care about Lifa's struggle and resistance at all. Instead, they slowly climbed up her legs.
"Help!! Help!! Help me, Shi Nong!! "
Feeling the sensation of a centipede on her skin, Lifa felt her entire body soften. She hugged Shi Nong tightly and used so much strength that she almost strangled Shi Nong to death.
"Wait, wait, don't use so much strength …."
Shi Nong struggled to break free from Lifa's "bear hug" while slapping the centipedes on her body hard. But the centipedes seemed to have locked onto Lifa, and she could not get rid of them no matter what.
"Qingye, help me pull her away!!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming!!"
Hearing Shi Nong's cry for help, Qingye hurriedly ran over. But just as she was about to step forward to help, a faint sound suddenly appeared in the thick fog not far away.
"Kacha kacha kacha …."
What's that sound?
Everyone was taken aback when they heard the sound. They turned around and saw three or four centipedes the size of a human crawling out from the fog. They straightened their upper bodies, and dozens of densely packed legs were waving non-stop, matching the realistic mouthparts and swaying tentacles of the centipedes ….
"Centipedes!!!"
At this moment, Qingye also screamed. She desperately swung her weapon and retreated, directly knocking into Ling Yin. Ling Yin was knocked down by Qingye and almost fell to the ground. She was already paralyzed with fear, alright?
"….?"
At this moment, Qi Hai tilted his head as though he had just woken up from a dream. He scanned the surroundings and picked up his weapon.
"…. Are we going to fight?"
"Get ready to fight."
Esther glanced at the chaotic rear and gave an order. But ….
"Get down!! Don't climb up!!! "
"Don't hug me. How can I fight if you hug me like this?"
"Centipede!! Centipede!!! What a big centipede!!! "
"What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? "
The rear had completely fallen into a state of panic.
"…."
Esther silently looked at the chaotic rear, then raised the sword in his hand.
"Qi Hai, protect them. I'll deal with these enemies."
Before his voice faded, Esther lowered his body and rushed towards the centipede monster in front of him.
