Vol 9 Chapter 178: puppet?

Xie Chen said helplessly, "Well, go ahead and sleep, I'll leave first. By the way, you must not really fall asleep, otherwise, if someone maliciously PK, my guard will be gone."

Kirito nodded: "I will pay attention, thank you for your concern."

After Xie Chen and Asuna left, Kirito lay down again, extremely comfortable.

Asuna returned to the headquarters and began to deal with the daily affairs of the guild. Xie Chen ran out alone to collect some materials and did the task by the way. Of course, the most important thing was to find the fragments of the long sword.

In the Western leveling zone, Xie Chen got a herb, which Asuna said could be used as a condiment material. After Xie Chen saw it, he put it away, and then he discovered that the herb here can be used as a condiment. There are a lot of seasonings or ingredients.

As Xie Chen collected these things, he gradually moved away from the original place and went deep into this leveling area. I found an entrance, thought about it, and walked in.

The environment here is a little different from the outside, it is more like an autumn farm, a golden grain swaying in the wind, and the green outside is very different.

Xie Chen stood at the entrance with interest for a while, then walked forward alone with a sword in his hand. After walking a certain distance along the country road, he saw a scarecrow. After approaching it, he suddenly changed from the identification of the item to a red name, becoming an active attacker!

The scarecrow was originally erected stiffly in the field, but now it suddenly became active, and then ran towards Xie Chen. There were also two birds that had originally inhabited it. The strange thing was that there were still a few birds flying there, but they were not hostile at all, and they still had yellow names.

Xie Chenyan froze and stood there waiting for the scarecrow to come over. It was the two birds who attacked Xie Chen first. Xie Chen turned around, avoided the hard claws of the two birds and gave them a sword. When the sword went down, they cut off one third of their blood.

Xie Chenxin was a little strange. In terms of his level, these two birds should have suffered more damage, but now it was only one-third, which was a bit abnormal.

But Xie Chen didn't think too much, because the scarecrow's attack had already appeared before his eyes. Xie Chen stepped forward and raised his sword to meet the tree branch that was struck by the wind. The fragile, seemingly dry tree branch became extremely hard at this time, and when Xie Chen cut it off, it felt like cutting off a sword.

The chopped branches turned into broken pieces of light and disappeared, but the Scarecrow did not respond at all, and the amount of blood lost was different from Xie Chen's estimate, much less than usual. At this time, he slashed with the other arm fiercely. Said it is an arm, but in fact it is still covered with branches.

With a slight movement in Xie Chen's heart, he didn't hide, but watched the sharp branch scratch his arm. Then the words "-142" appeared on Xie Chen's body.

Xie Chen raised his brows and let go of his heart. Although the defensive power of the monster here is a bit strange, it still does not violate the MMO of SAO's hierarchical system. The damage caused by the scarecrow of just 60th level to him is negligible.

After auzw.com made this point clear, Xie Chen simply solved the two birds and the scarecrow. When checking the items they dropped, Xie Chen raised his eyebrows. These items seemed to be different from other areas.

Except that the money dropped is more unexpected than the normal hunting area, there are some strange materials. Xie Chen doesn’t seem to have seen it before, so I plan to show it to Lisbeth to see if she knows what it is. thing.

Xie Chen kept walking along this road. Almost all the monsters on the road were scarecrows, there were birds flying in the sky, and a few dog-type monsters appeared from time to time.

When Xie Chen felt almost ready to go back home, he saw a small wooden house that seemed to be someone inside, so he walked over. This kind of place should be an NPC, but it does not rule out the possibility of humanoid monsters.

When Xie Chen rented a distance of two meters outside the door, he stopped. At this time, he could see the situation inside through the half-open door. Simple tables and chairs, and a bed. Some farm tools are piled up in the opposite corner. And the man dressed as a farmer sat there polishing the **** in his hand. He seemed to have noticed someone. He looked back at Xie Chen, then turned his head back, and said faintly, "Young man, no one has been here for a long time. You come to my old man, what's the matter? "Yes, this farmer is an old man with gray hair and a beard.

Xie Chen paused for a while, then walked a few steps forward, entered the house, and said, "I came here accidentally. May I ask you who?" Although I don't know what this NPC is, but experience Tell him that there is always nothing wrong with being polite.

The old man seemed to sighed, and then said: "That's right, then you should be fine now. I have something to ask you to do. Are you willing?"

Xie Chen smiled slightly, there really is a task, so he asked: "I don't know what do you want me to do, old man?"

The old man stood up slowly, walked over Xie Chen, and said to Xie Chen: "Young man, come with me."

Xie Chen followed him and left the house again. Then the old man said at this time: "Look at the sword in your hand, you should be a swordsman."

Xie Chen nodded: "Yes."

The old man continued: "That's right, otherwise you won't be able to come here through the rice fields. Have you encountered those puppets?"

puppet? Xie Chen thought for a while, and then realized that what he said should be those straw talents. So he nodded and said: "Yes, I met a lot on the road."

The old man turned around and looked at Xie Chen with a little excitement in his eyes, and his hands trembled slightly and said, "You beat them all, right?"

"Well, I came here after defeating them all. Could it be that those... puppets, are there any weird things?" Xie Chen asked. In fact, he asked only to comply with the mission requirements. It is easier to get the task. ..
