Telekinesis ability (highlight the health bar): Extreme (Level 2) → Extreme (Level 4) (690,000/800,000)

After entering the Mysterious Tower and discovering that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his ability to brighten his health bar, Ji Xing naturally did not give up on its development.

‘Regional battlefield’ is a new application method developed after the regular mode, duel mode, and second blood, which has upgraded it by two levels.

In fact, this is just a transfer station. What Ji Xing really wants to develop is the "racial battlefield", to obtain the ability to make humans light up red bars and demons light up blue bars, and feed them back to the main body.

This immortal disease incident happened to be an opportunity for him to become familiar with the application of new abilities and continue to deepen the development of the ability to brighten the health bar.

In his field, the 'human race' can be singled out, but if he wants to turn only the 'immortal sick race' into a hostile party, he still needs some time.

The fish in the river that are not infected with the immortal disease and the insects in the forest all have a blue health bar. Ji Xing is working hard to distinguish them through micro-control, and his experience in the ability to brighten the health bar is slowly increasing.

Here, he moved slowly towards the black crystal mine to practice his abilities, while the 20 players, already in groups of two, spread out around Ji Xing as the center to eliminate the undead disease.

Kirito and Asuna were responsible for the 11 o'clock position. At this time, the two of them had used more than twenty combos to kill a white ape infected with the immortal disease and an innocent giant centipede.

Asuna felt like her whole body was numb: "This ability is easy to use, but an ordinary centipede would need more than ten blows to die..."

"If Asuna hates it, don't force it. If you find bugs again, just leave it to me." Having been together for so long, Kirito has gained some emotional intelligence, and agreed: "It is indeed a very convenient ability. It makes it easy to deal with immortal diseases.

A lot."

Under the rules of the Mysterious Tower, the undead disease has been weakened by one level, which means there is no need to deal with the corpse. When the time is up, the undead disease corpse will also be refreshed and cleared by the system.

However, without the ability to brighten the health bar, it is difficult to kill the undead sick body. Even if it is decapitated, the body without the head can still move. Some people suffered this disadvantage when exploring the 46th floor.

But it's different now. As long as the health bar is empty, you can be sure that the opponent is really dead, and you can always check your own situation. It was originally very dangerous and suddenly only less than three points are left.

It is human nature to follow the wind and think about the waves.

After killing another undead sick body with Asuna, Kirito looked at the full health bars above his and Asuna's heads, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"Asuna, wearing this protective suit is too bulky, and my movements are greatly restricted. With this health bar ability, I want to see if I can move faster without wearing it... and practice my sword skills."

Asuna knew that the last sentence was what Kirito was thinking about. Ever since he learned about the mysterious team and was defeated by Toguro Di several times, Kirito became more attentive and diligent in his training.

Kirito is the one who takes saving the world as his own responsibility more than himself.

Thinking about Ji Xing's performance just now, Asuna understood what Kirito meant and said, "I will always keep an eye on Kirito-kun's health bar changes."

"Thank you, Asuna."

Kirito drew out the menu and changed his clothes.

Wearing the usual leather armor, Kirito immediately felt relaxed. Although he couldn't use his original knife because he was worried about being infected with the undead virus, he didn't need a very good knife to cut down monsters on the 17th floor.

The immortal disease will not significantly increase the strength of the infected person, but will only increase the 'vitality'.

Kirito jumped on the spot, nodded slightly to Asuna, and walked in front of her.

About a hundred meters away, by coincidence, they saw a black tiger infected with the undead virus, which was also a common monster on the 17th floor.

"Kirito-kun, be careful."

Asuna reminded her. She was prepared to take off her protective clothing and practice herself if nothing happened during Kirito's sword practice.

It's not that Kirito is being used as a test subject, but he knows that Kirito won't agree to being a test subject, so he simply doesn't argue with Kirito on this matter.

Standing about 20 meters away, her eyes were fixed on the black tiger crossing Kirito, and she was paying attention to Kirito's health bar. With the current level of the strategy team, there would be no surprises when dealing with monsters on the 17th floor.

I saw Kirito moving dexterously, cutting or cutting with a knife, lifting and pressing down. The black tiger was chopped like a big stupid cat, unable to touch Kirito at all, but within a few seconds, his health bar dropped to zero and he died.

Kirito looked happy. He felt that such a target was really good for practicing swordsmanship. It would neither kill nor fail to kill him with one strike. He could also clearly see the damage of each strike. But when he looked at Asuna,

He saw that he was surprised and worried.

"Kirito-kun, your health bar!"

Kirito was startled, and quickly raised his head, only to see that the half-meter-long blood bar had been emptied, and the number at the back told him that it was '85 drops'!

How could it be?! I wasn’t touched by it!

"It was deducted after killing the black tiger." Asuna quickly stepped forward and pulled Kirito away: "I'm afraid it was caused by inhaling the undead virus. Kirito-kun, you'd better put on the protective clothing quickly!"

Inhaled the immortal virus? Kirito was startled and recalled the situation when Ji Xing explained ten minutes ago.

He will lose 1 drop of blood if he inhales the undead virus.

Why did I directly deduct 15 drops of blood?!

Ji Xing from a distance glanced at them and said in his heart: 'You underestimated the immortal disease, and overestimated the resistance of these players. They really can't stand it without protective clothing. If there is no more health bar, Kirito will

Maybe one for one with Black Tiger.'

Fortunately, only Kirito and Negishi Yoshiyuki were able to ride the wind, and both of them became more honest after their defeat.

The group of people advanced without any danger, eradicating all the immortal bodies infected with the immortal disease.

…

At the same time, the 45-story military town.

Kayaba Akihiko, Yu Gu and other high-level players are paying close attention to the situation of the elimination team.

The feedback from the frontline was quickly received, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even the players who had resentment due to the situation of the Demon-Sealing Thread did not want those 20 old comrades to fall victim to the villain's troubles.

"The next step is to investigate the players of Fairy Dance, focusing on the information about the Fairy King." You Gu said calmly: "On my side, I have already sent people back to reality to report to the superiors as soon as possible, and we will soon lock in the information.

We will check all the players who fit the profile of the Fairy King one by one.

On the other hand, I would also like to invite Argo the Rat, and ask everyone to contribute. I really didn’t expect that there is such a powerful guy hiding in your intelligence guild, Argo. This ability to brighten the health bar should also be useful in defeating bosses, right? That Ji

How long has Xing been in the game? If this hadn't happened this time, everyone would have been kept in the dark!"

It was obviously something that should be praised, and everyone was shocked and happy that such a person appeared in the Argo Guild. But when You Gu said it, there was a sinister feeling that contained evil intentions, as if he was accusing Argo of hiding Ji Xing before.

, just for their own guild and not caring about the overall strategy.

Many people were slightly unhappy because this bastard was here again, using chicken feathers as arrows.

If it were before, Argo would probably stab him back with the same displeasure, but at this moment she remembered a conversation she had with Ji Xing before.

'You said You Gu is not necessarily a fool?!'

'As for the mysterious tower that concerns the world's safety, the military's presiding officer should not be an idiot. Think about it, what would happen if You Gu was replaced by an iron-blooded, tough general? Everything in the mysterious tower will be taken over by the military.

Control, all players must act under the unified arrangement of the army...'

‘Hey, it’s really scary to think about it. So that guy Yu Gu is acting stupid to reconcile the conflict of ideas between the military players and us other players? To make it more enjoyable for us to conquer the Mysterious Tower?!’

'It's very possible. Of course, I'm not 100% sure. It might be that he's really stupid... Anyway, just treat him as usual. It's okay if he's really stupid and it's okay, but it's even better if he's pretending to be stupid and quarreling with him.'

Is this guy... really acting stupid?

Argo stared at You Gu twice, feeling that what Ji Xing said made sense, but in his heart he really didn't want to believe that this annoying guy had hidden secrets.

"Why, does General You Gu think that after the truth about the Demon-Sealing Thread is revealed, he can use the righteousness of 'saving the world' to suppress us? Do you also want to control what kind of game Ji Xing chooses? From today on, everyone will

Everyone has to obey orders?!"

So she became extra "unbridled" in her answers. Later, when she saw You Gu looking like he had eaten a fly, she had to apologize to herself and was secretly being screened by the center.

Suddenly he was stunned.

No, why should I listen to Ji Xing? I will do whatever he tells me to do?

I am the president!

…

On the other side, due to the military blockade, Nobuyuki Sugou only found out the situation two days later when the players completely solved the immortal disease incident on the 17th floor and headed to the 8th floor.

The expected heavy losses for the strategy team did not appear at all. The players who had dealt with the 17th level of immortality were all alive and well, unscathed!

He was immediately dumbfounded.

"No! It's impossible!"

"Protective clothing is not that effective!"

The immortality disease was a man-made disaster that he carefully selected after enduring it for two years. He couldn't accept the ending of just killing some casual players!

The 15-day deadline is also a yoke he gives to the players. If they want to solve it within the deadline and prevent the truth about the Mysterious Tower from spreading, the players must be more aggressive, which will also make them more likely to suffer losses.

What he wants to see is that the players are working hard despite his little tricks, but in the end they are helpless! What he wants to see is Kirito kneeling in front of him, and Asuna begging him not to continue.

The pitiful look!

The difference between reality and ideal is too big.

Solving the 17th-level immortal disease in two days without any damage was definitely not in any of his plans or expectations!

After another three days, even the immortal disease on the 8th floor was cleared, and Sugou Nobuyuki paid the price of two cannon fodder who didn't know his identity and were arrested, and finally knew what the problem was.

"Ji Xing...bastard! This guy came out of nowhere and ruined my good deeds!"

No! I've endured enough! Even if I can't inflict heavy damage on the strategy team this time, at least, I must at least get Asuna first and give them some color!

He calculated, his expression becoming more ferocious.

…

Because the longer the delay, the wider the scope, even if more players who obtained protective suits joined in, it took five days to completely solve the final second layer.
To be continued...
