238 In the forest of the night
Level 1 players only have two skill slots.
This is something that has been mentioned before.
It is not until level 6 that the player adds a third skill slot, and until then they can only use two skills, only less, not more.
And among Luo Zhen's two skill grids, one of them has been occupied by the "Flying Sword", and the remaining skill grid was originally intended to consider what to fill in after the Rainbow Flower Butterfly, but now that he has chosen the one-handed sword as a weapon, Luo Zhen naturally has to set the "One-handed Sword" skill up, otherwise he can only use the flying sword sword skill.
Both skill slots are weapon skills.
Such a combination should be quite rare among low-level players, right?
If it's an ordinary player, then only one weapon skill will be selected, and the other skill will either be a production system, or a passive system that can assist in combat, and if you choose two weapon skills, it means that the player can only improve the proficiency and power of one of the skills, after all, no matter what kind of player you are, you can't wear two different types of weapons at the same time.
It's the same with Kirito.
After using "One-handed Sword" as his main skill, Kirito's second skill is "Seeking Enemies".
As the name suggests, this is a skill that is used to spot enemies.
Players who set up this skill can improve their ability to identify enemies, which can not only increase the chance of spotting enemies to a certain extent, but also gain abilities such as night vision, provided that the skill proficiency meets the requirements.
Kirito who got this skill is better at finding the enemy's traces than the average player, and after entering the forest, he frequently finds the red cursor of the monster, so that Luo Zhen can avoid it.
It's just that even if he doesn't avoid it, Luo Zhen won't be approached by monsters.
The reason is simple.
"Woo! Woohoo! ”
The rainbow butterfly flying next to Luo Zhen would frequently make such a cry when Luo Zhen approached the monster that had not yet been discovered.
That is, some of the unique characteristics of demons with high perception ———— detect enemies.
In other words, even if he doesn't have the skill of "Seeking Enemies", Luo Zhen can be warned by the rainbow butterfly and know that there is an enemy nearby.
In such a situation, even knowing that SAO has become a death game, Kirito can't help but cast envious glances.
"It's really much more convenient to have demons, and you don't even need to waste your skills, just replace them with demons."
Kirito said such things with envy.
Pity...
"I can only know that there are enemies nearby, and I can't see the monster's cursor without the skill of 'Seeking Enemies', let alone where the monster is."
Luo Zhen replied as he pulled the bronze sword he was wearing at his waist out of its scabbard.
Because...
"Then let me tell you if I have the skill of 'Seeking Enemies'."
Kirito pointed ahead.
"There's a monster there, and it's our target, and the cursor is a bit of a thick red."
Although the monster's cursors are all red, players can roughly judge the strength of the enemy according to the intensity of the color.
If it's a monster with a much higher level than you, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to win, and the cursor on your head will appear dark red thicker than blood.
If it's a miscellaneous fish monster whose level is much lower than your own, and no matter how many you kill, you can't increase much experience, then the cursor will be almost white and light pink.
Enemies of similar rank are represented by positive red, which is a bit dangerous if it is thicker than red, and relatively safe if it is lighter than red.
Kirito is referring to the former.
There are monsters in front of them that are somewhat too dangerous compared to the current level of the two of them.
And as he approached, Luo Zhen also saw the other party.
———— "small man-eating grass".
This is the official name of the monster.
It's obviously a "small" monster in the name.,But the other party's height is a meter and a half.,The appearance is as the name says.,It's a grass.,With the body of a pitcher plant.,The lower body is a myriad of moving roots wriggling.,There are curly vines with sharp leaves on the left and right sides.,The head is a large mouth for predation.,Between opening and closing.,Constantly dripping mucus.。
The level of the piranha grass is level 3, and the vernier is naturally thicker than the red.
Considering safety concerns, the two should avoid such monsters.
However, as Kiritto said, the other party is the target of the mission of the two of them.
Luo Zhen immediately looked at the other party's head.
Luo Zhen and Kirito's quest prop is the ovule of a small man-eating grass.
It will only drop on flowering maneats.
If the other party is a monster that will drop ovules, there should be flowers on the head.
Luo Zhen stared at the other party, but Kirito, who had the skill of "Seeking the Enemy", saw through the target first.
"Not what we want."
Here's the answer.
"It's not that easy."
Luo Zhen shrugged.
Of all the small maneats, the flowering part probably has a spawn rate of less than one percent, otherwise, the reward for this quest would not be such a high-performance weapon.
It's because it's hard to get the goal of the mission that the reward for the mission is so high.
In the past, some unlucky players would hunt here for three whole days in order to complete this task, and finally give up.
As a player who has done this task before, Kirito naturally knows this.
But...
"As long as you keep knocking down ordinary small man-eating plants, the chance of the flower version appearing will increase."
Kirito stared at the small man-eating grass that was slowly walking on the ground, and subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Moreover, the level of the small man-eating grass is level 3, as long as we keep defeating them here, the experience points will increase a lot, if you stay up a little late, it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade to level 5 before dawn."
That's pretty efficient.
You know, the most suitable level for Tier 1 is Levels 1-10.
Once this level is exceeded, the amount of experience gained in this tier will be hopelessly small.
Therefore, during the closed beta period, players formed a large-scale strategy alliance at level 5-7 to challenge the boss of the defending layer, and after several shocks, the door to the second floor was opened.
Being able to reach level 5 overnight, how can this be inefficient?
Of course...
"Where there's profit, there's danger, isn't it?" Luo Zhen said disapprerovingly: "Not to mention that the monster level here is higher than ours, in addition to the flower version that is the target of the mission, there will also be another kind of man-eating grass with a round fruit with the same chance, if you accidentally attack the fruit during the battle, it will burst with a loud sound and emit smoke, gathering all the man-eating grass in the surrounding area, right?" ”
Surrounded by a group of monsters with a higher level than itself, it is needless to say what the consequences will be.
Kirito also knew that Luo Zhen didn't need his own reminder at all, but he couldn't help but say a few words.
No way.
"If you die, Mom, Xiaozhi, and I won't feel good."
Leaving such a whisper, Kirito took a step ahead of Luo Zhen and rushed forward.
Looking at Kirito like this, Luo Zhen was silent.
"Woohoo!"
At this time, the rainbow butterfly sounded a warning sound.
In the other direction, a second small man-eating grass approached with slow steps.
"Whew..."
Luo Zhen let out a breath and clenched the bronze one-handed sword in his hand.
"Come on!"
At Luo Zhen's shout, the small man-eating grass let out a hiss and rushed over.
