Tang Hao and Asuna, who were standing next to Kirito, also saw the email. Asuna's expression changed significantly. The death of a player meant the death of a real person. Although she had already accepted this fact, she still felt scared.
Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat … Skeleton Soldier?
He wasn't sure if there were such monsters in SAO, but if he remembered correctly, the fifth floor of the Crimson Moon Forest should only have Hopping Monkeys and Rabbids, and they were both level 17 to 18, which was suitable for Players between level 15 and 20.
For most players at this stage, this leveling area was relatively difficult, so it was basically impossible for Players below level 15 to level up in the Crimson Moon Forest. Those who dared to go were players who had a certain level of confidence and had a high leveling rate. That was also the reason why he arranged to establish a guild on the fifth floor of the Crimson Moon Inn.
But now, Skeleton Soldiers appeared in the Crimson Moon Forest and killed some players …
Bone King!
If Tang Hao was a local player, he might have found it strange. But now, he was almost certain that those skeleton soldiers had something to do with the Bone King … Although the chat room said that the Bone King would only launch a full-scale invasion after two hundred days, no one said that the Bone King wouldn't take any action before then!
"Kirito, Asuna, let's go back!"
Almost without a second of hesitation, Tang Hao called the two of them and immediately went back the way they came.
It took them a long time to explore and kill monsters, but now that they had the map, it only took them less than half an hour to return to the safe town on the eighth floor, and then directly jumped to the fifth floor through the teleportation circle in the town.
The teleportation circle was similar to a toll station, and as long as you paid a certain amount of money, you could freely go back and forth between the floors. Every town had more than one teleportation circle, and naturally, Tang Hao chose the one closest to the Crimson Moon Inn.
As soon as the three stepped out of the teleportation circle, they saw Klein running toward them.
"Kirito, Asuna, Ritian boss, great, you're finally here!" Klein shouted while running with an anxious look on his face. He was indeed anxious. They had just decided to establish a guild with zero death rate as their slogan, but in the blink of an eye, some players were killed right next to them. Wasn't this the same as ruining their reputation?
Although the dead players hadn't joined their guild yet, and the incident had nothing to do with them, it was still something that happened right next to them.
Klein wasn't a person who liked to shirk responsibility, and he habitually took the responsibility himself.
"Don't worry, tell me what happened." Tang Hao ran over and asked.
"It's like this …" Klein took a deep breath, "I set up a guild in the Crimson Moon Inn according to your instructions, and there were indeed a lot of people, but suddenly, I received news that a strange Skeleton Soldier appeared in the Crimson Moon forest, and some players were to to be.. I didn't think too much at all. After all, it Hao was to hear, to him to to to to to, but, the Hao, said. was to say, to him to, to, and San, and said, and said.
Level 19 was nothing in front of Tang Hao, and even Asuna was already Level 21. But in the entire Aincrad, a Level 19 player was already a top-tier player.
"How many players were killed?" Asuna asked.
"I don't know the exact number, but as far as I know, there were at least twenty."
"Twenty, tsk …" Even Tang Hao felt a little heartache. Players who could train in the Crimson Moon Forest were all strong, and considering their character, perhaps not every one of them could join their guild, but there were always suitable ones. When they grew up, they could even become the backbone of the guild. But now, all of them were dead.
"Are those Skeleton Soldiers very strong? How many? What about their level? "
Klein was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "The number is not clear, and the level … is also not clear."
"Huh?" Tang Hao and the other two were at a loss.
Klein quickly explained, "It's true. According to the players who were lucky enough to escape, these Skeleton Soldiers have very high attack power. They can reduce a full health player's hp to zero in two or three hits. Their defense is also ridiculously strong. Normal attacks can only deal a single digit damage, and they can't deal any damage at all. They also checked the level of the Skeleton Soldiers, and all they saw was a question mark."
"This …" Kirito seemed to have thought of something, and his face slightly changed, "Before I entered SAO, I read a lot of official information. This game has a hidden setting. If the monster's level is more than ten levels higher than the player, the level of the monster won't be shown to the player. The player must use special tools or skills to detect the monster."
"There's such a setting?" Tang Hao was completely clueless.
"Yes."
Klein exclaimed, "Does that mean those skeleton soldiers are at least level 30?!"
If that was true, with a ten level suppression, ordinary players wouldn't be able to deal with them.
The four of them talked as they walked, and soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Crimson Moon Forest. It was still a safe zone, and the monsters couldn't enter. However, there were already dozens of players standing around, and many of them were talking about something.
"Everyone, our guild leader is here!"
Klein's voice attracted everyone's attention. They had long been curious about Tang Ritian, a player with a great name and a great battle record. But now that they saw him … he looked ordinary and didn't seem like a big deal.
Of course, Tang Hao's name was like a tree's shadow. After all, Tang Hao's battle record was still there. Killing seven Bosses in two days was not something anyone could do. Furthermore, when Klein was establishing the guild, he had helped him brag a little. He said that killing Bosses was like killing a son, and that he could kill a child with one hit. Thus, even if some people didn't think much of it, most people were still excited.
This was especially so for the few players who were crying. Their friends or family had just been killed by the skeleton soldiers, and they were hoping that someone would avenge them. Their gazes toward Tang Hao were filled with fervor and anticipation.
Under the gaze of the players, Tang Hao stretched out his hands, "I've heard from Klein that everyone encountered trouble in the Crimson Moon Forest, and some players died because of it. The problem is quite serious, so I won't waste any more time. Next, I will personally go to the Crimson Moon Forest to find out what happened. Who wants to go with me?"
"…"
The scene suddenly became silent. Tang Hao looked around, but no one took the initiative to stand up.
Kirito noticed the awkward silence, so he immediately stood beside Tang Hao, "I'll go with you!"
"Me too!" Asuna was a little slower, but her tone was firm.
In fact, these two people had already decided to follow Tang Hao. Now, they deliberately stood up, mainly to support Tang Hao. Klein and his friends also came back to their senses and immediately expressed their position, they will go with Tang Hao to the Crimson Moon Forest.
But even so, the surrounding players were still hesitating.
Tang Hao secretly sighed. Although he was a little disappointed, it was understandable. After all, they only had one life, and so many high-level players had died. Who would dare to take the risk?
"If that's the case, then our [Raider God] guild …"
"Excuse me …"
Before Tang Hao could finish his sentence, a big bald player in the crowd raised his hand, "Can I join you?"
Tang Hao looked over. This player had dark skin, a burly body, and looked like an African. He was also quite old. He said, "My name is Agil, level 18, one of the survivors of the Crimson Moon Forest. Maybe I can be of help to your operation."
Agil, this was also one of the main characters in Sword and Sword Dominion. In the game, he was also a member of the clearers. He was strong, and most importantly … his character was trustworthy.
The most important thing for Tang Hao to choose his teammates was their character. Strength could be slowly improved, but if their character was bad … like Kibaou, it was better to stay as far away from them as possible.
As soon as he saw it was him, Tang Hao did not hesitate and directly waved his hand.
"Group up!"
