Survival: King Picking Game

And, it must be done quickly.Because although I know it was three years ago, I don't know the exact time... If everything has already happened and is irreversible, then there is no point in that.

——"Let's head towards that volcano, Miss Lisbeth." Li Pingan turned around, said in a deep voice, and took the lead to head towards the volcano.

"Huh? Wait...wait for me!" Lisbeth reluctantly looked away from the long sword, and followed Li Pingan's footsteps in a panic.

They stopped and went all the way, not even having time to rest or stop for a meal. After asking passers-by, Li Pingan and Lisbeth came to the place where jade steel was sold.

As a result, the owner of that place, a gray-haired old man, told the two that Luke's father left here not long ago with a look of haste.

Li Pingan frowned, and Lisbeth, who had heard him tell the whole story along the way, also looked at Li Pingan worriedly.

"...There is no other way." Li Pingan took a deep breath, "I can only speed up the pace further... What comes next depends on luck."

His summoned creatures and pets, except for the two rituals and Xingjia Shirayuki, are all in the SAO world.If it is called hastily, it is likely to cause some accidents with bad influence.For example, in a situation where everyone is watching, suddenly disappearing or something...

...Besides, there is no girl who can help me well now.

After finally arriving at the end of Ash Curtain Forest, the two of them had already established themselves at the foot of Blair Volcano.

The air here is humid and warm, without the feeling of midwinter.The ground was strewn with large rocks and rocks, and volcanic ash and gravel were buried in the gaps between the two.But on the other hand, not even a blade of grass can be found here.

The originally gentle slope of the foothold, the farther away from the forest, the more steep and steep it appears.

There is still a thin layer of volcanic ash floating around here.With volcanic ash filling the air above, the light is naturally not much brighter.However, although the field of vision is not good, it is much more normal than in the forest where a large amount of volcanic ash remains.

In order to prevent the volcanic ash from invading the eyeballs and causing blurred vision, it is necessary to wear goggles and a mask to block the entry of dust.

In addition, on the Blair volcano that sealed Holvanier, the concentration of its spirit body is naturally the highest on the mainland.

Li Pingan and Lisbeth searched around the foot of the volcano for a while, and then found a fork in the slope of the volcano. There was indeed a cave not far from the first furnace workshop.The entrance of the cave can only barely accommodate one person, as if someone forcibly punched a hole in the slope of the volcano.

But in a place where the spirit body is so densely distributed, it will affect people's health, which is the so-called "acute spiritual poisoning".

In order to prevent the occurrence of spirit poisoning, jade steel is needed.

The so-called "Jade Steel" refers to the material steel of Japanese knives, which is called Hegang or Jade Steel.This is a kind of steel tempered by the traditional Japanese method.

Except for a small amount of rich iron ore in Japan, there were no fuel ore sources that were prone to high temperature in ancient times.In this case, a low-temperature smelted block steelmaking—that is, jade steel—was formed.

In this world, though, jade steel seems to refer to a special metal.It is also the basic material for casting "Magic Sword" and "Holy Sword", and even using prayer contracts. It can be said that it is the most precious resource in this world.

By the way, the jade steel used by Li Pingan and Lisbeth to prevent spirit poisoning was given to them by the kind old man in the smelting workshop.Goggles and face shield are included too.It can be said that it helped a lot and saved a lot of time.

Of course, another reason is that he is also worried about Luke's family who just stepped into Blair Volcano, and he hopes that Li Pingan and Lisbeth will go to help.

The lamp Li Pingan took out from his backpack was made of jade steel instead of candles.

I tried to learn the unique ability of this world before, the "prayer contract" which is very similar to "magic" in various senses, and found that it was surprisingly simple.

The principle is that by chanting prayers, and then using jade steels of different sizes as catalysts to attract spirit bodies in the air, incredible power can be released.

After Li Pingan chanted the prayer he had just learned, the stone began to glow by itself.Relying on the lighting provided by Yugang, the two proceeded cautiously to the depths of the cave.

Chapter 145 Enter! Sudden Earthquake! T

According to the description in the original work, as long as it is in the cave of Blair Volcano, it seems that Holvanier can be encountered everywhere.

The male protagonist Luke and the others, the twisted fleshy body they saw three years ago, is one of the parts - that is, the "end" of Holvanier.

In other words, it was the monster named "Hol Vanir", which spanned all the caves here... such a huge volcano.

If Holvanier's body really occupies all the caves of this volcano, then how big this human body is is indeed a shocking guess.

——The language circulating in the legend, describing its appearance like a god and demon: "Collapse the mountains, split the earth, and use the sea as drinking water"—maybe it is not a lie but a true record and portrayal.

...And thinking about it a little deeper, what kind of structure is the holy sword that can seal such a terrifying behemoth?It is even more unimaginable.

Although Li Pingan is a completely egotistical person, he is not an idiot after all.He is well aware of the limits of his abilities.

——It is absolutely impossible for him to compete with Holvanier head-on.

In fact, since this is a special mission scene, there is no player level limit for entry at all.

And if you want to judge, the power of Holvanier's body is definitely far higher than that of ordinary silver-level.Although the rest of the humans are still outsiders, and they all appear to be relatively weak, but overall, the difficulty of this scene is probably at the black iron level.

Maybe in the future, he can easily defeat Holvanier, and maybe in the future, Li Pingan will be able to twist a monster the size of a mountain into meatloaf with one finger, but that's a matter of the future.

...so, one must proceed with caution.Even if what needs to be faced, it may only be a part of Holvanier's body, the attack of the end limbs.

Although the entrance of the cave next to the tunnel that the two chose to enter was narrow, the passage became wider as they walked in.Finally, with Li Ping'an's hands alone, this lantern, which uses jade steel as the source of light energy, can no longer illuminate the left and right walls and ceiling at the same time.

What Li Pingan and the others could see were the subtle undulating rock textures on the ground and the volcanic ash floating near the light source.

In addition, the cave is full of heat and humidity that make people sweat profusely, which makes people feel bored.

In the beginning, Li Pingan talked to Lisbeth from time to time.

But soon, considering the sweltering heat in the cave, the moisture in the skin needs to be continuously evaporated, so the two simply closed their mouths and just walked in silently.

...Of course, they are not lacking in water, but purely to save energy.

... To be honest, at this time, the backpack space that the player imprints comes with is really useful.One grid can hold all the water needed by one person for half a year.

Li Pingan remembers that in the original novel, when Luke and Youying from the Military Kingdom stepped here for the second time, they were heading for the seal of the holy sword. One of the difficulties they encountered was the lack of water.

In the volcano, the air temperature is very high and it is very stuffy because of the small space.Water consumption is very fast.In addition, the passages in the caves in the volcano extend in all directions, and the routes are very complicated. If you are not careful or if you are unlucky, you will easily get lost in it... At that time, it will be a real hopeless situation.
