Chapter 680

Chapter 680

Creatures that can drop food material at a 100% chance are usually limited to monsters that have no inherent level or power . These creatures are like the animals of the real world .

They are rare and are usually only good at running away, a characteristic helped by their unique skills . Also, monsters that can drop food material at a 100% chance are usually very good at running away or are very rare in quantity . This means a player would need great skill or luck to stumble upon them .

The Ragout Rabbit is this type of special monster .

Compared to monsters on this floor, it's completely lacking in the fighting department . But, this pathetic monster more than makes up for this with its drop material . The players are going after it like it's a rare piece of equipment . The drop material can also be sold for a higher price than rare equipment .

The only monster known to drop S-grade food material in SAO, one such monster is in his hands right now .

There are monsters out there that can drop food material at a 100% chance . But, compared to a harmless monster like this, players would forgo the former to pursue a creature like a Ragout Rabbit . It's safer and the food material dropped from harmless monster are usually of a higher grade than food material dropped from hostile monsters .

Wu Yan isn't eager to kill this monster right now . According to the original story, this is the only known monster to drop S-grade food material . Killing it right now would be a waste, no?

The Ragout Rabbit also possessed higher intelligence than other monsters, when Wu Yan examined it with his curious eyes, the rabbit stared back with a pair of malicious eyes . The rabbit is probably thinking it can scare Wu Yan into loosening his grip so it can run away . Gnashing its teeth with seething hatred, the rabbit acted like it would bite anyone that got close to it .

Wu Yan was amused to say the least . He didn't think a rabbit would behave like this . And, coming from a cute monster like this, it had the opposite effect of scaring people, Wu Yan felt like laughing out loud after seeing its cute performance .

"Maybe there's something that's driving it to behave this way?"

Wu Yan shook his head with a grin . He took out a needle and he pricked the rabbit .

Squeak

The rabbit mewled as a new abnormal status got added to its slightly decreased HP bar . The monster is now paralyzed .

The monster froze up before its limbs went limp . Struggling to keep its eyes open, the rabbit dangled in Wu Yan's hand after having its motor ability robbed by paralysis .

Wu Yan grabbed the rabbit by its ears and he started making his way towards the closest town .

Normally, a player would use a teleport crystal to go back to town lest some nasty players gang up on them and rob them of this prized material . There are red and orange players in this game and they will do anything to enrich themselves, even killing others . In view of this, using a teleport crystal is worthed it .

Moreover, the case is further bolstered by the fact that the food material can be sold for a price equivalent to hundreds of Item Crystals, one teleport crystal is a small price to pay for safety and certainty .

Granted, Wu Yan is probably the only one in this game who can walk around with a Ragout Rabbit dangling in his hand .

74th floor of Aincrad, Kamdet...

This is the main city closest to the labyrinth of this floor . This place is located 30-minutes walk away from the labyrinth of this floor, a forest stood between the labyrinth and the city .

The 74th floor is currently the highest floor reached by the players . Only players who stood at the frontlines are operating on this floor . Less-capable players stayed away while careful players are still busy adjusting themselves to the difficulty of this level . This is the reason why the main city is less populated for now .

This is about to change, however...

A circle of light illuminated the teleport platform . One by one, players came out of the portal here . They were sporting similar equipment .

They caught the attention of the other players here because their conduct and equipment suggested that they came from a very organized guild .

When the newly-arrived players were done with their assembly . The plaza was filled with a platoon of 50 or so guild members . Their armors and protective equipment had mostly white motives that finished with red-gilded ends . They also had cool-looking capes . It took the other players no more than 2 seconds to identify them .

The Knights of the Blood Oath!

A girl with chestnut-colored hair came last . She had a skeleton-faced bodyguard with a ponytail following her around .

Her beautiful face formed a deep chasm of contrast with the ugly bodyguard behind her . But, the bodyguard didn't let this get to him, he followed like this is completely natural .

The guild members all greeted Asuna with a puffed-up chest .

"Asuna-sama!"

Asuna gave a perfunctory nod .

Asuna looked much more serious than her usual self . Her cold and serious face made others feel the subconscious need to back away from her .

Asuna's business face drew a smile on Wu Yan's face . He knew about her true self and this business mode was a fresh view for him .

The guild members assumed this is what Asuna is like off-duty . Even the captain of KoB is not cognizant of her real personality .

Wu Yan and Lisbeth are the two players who Asuna treated with her sincere self . Meanwhile, Silica who made a good impression on Asuna was also included in this list . Other than them, Asuna hid her true self from the rest .

The KoBs are here to challenge the labyrinth .

The monsters here are on another level compared to monsters of the lower floors . They are here mainly to gauge the level of the monsters . They are also here to get used to the patterns of the monster here so the clearing progress will be smoother down the road .

Asuna looked at the KoBs . Wherever she looked, the members all puffed their chests out in pride . They wanted to give her a good impression but she casually glanced over all of them .

"Let's go..."

Asuna said .

"Okay!"

As they were ready to march out of the city, a familiar figure greeted everyone with his outstanding attire . He came through the main entrance of this plaza .

"That's..."

A player gasped in utter shock .

"It's the Fae Swordsman!"

The KoBs exchanged glances, they couldn't believe their luck . They got to see a legendary player in the flesh!

Asuna flinched in surprise but she quickly regained her composure . She was grinning but she froze up when she saw the Ragout Rabbit in his hands .

"Nn?"

Wu Yan also took note of the KoBs who were technically blocking the entrance, he spotted Asuna who was leading them and he greeted her .

"Yo, Asuna..."

He greeted her with the hand that held the Ragout Rabbit .

"You came here as well?"

Asuna kept staring at the Ragout Rabbit, she completely ignored Wu Yan's nonchalant greeting .

Wu Yan noticed this and he silently cursed .

Crap...
