Chapter 57: The Underground Labyrinth
I guess this update is probably the same today. For some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy, nausea, and my body was cold and hot, which looked like a cold... So we might have to go back to sleep, above.
PS: Thank you to the gift from the classmate of the Benniao Gaofei. It’s very comforting and happy.

Zhou Chao released his superpower to wrap around the weird computer with Peikai as the core, and ran quickly to the starting town with Lala and Asuna.
It didn't take long before the three of them arrived in front of a building.
"It's here." Asuna said, looking at the dark door hole in front of her.
"Okay, Lala and I go down, you stay outside." Zhou Chao looked at the door hole in front of him and decided to say. Asuna's firm voice rang out as soon as he finished speaking.
"I'll go with you too."
"No!" Zhou Chao refused without hesitation, "Don't forget that the original condition for opening this maze was that the strategy progress of the Ain Gelangt Tower reached 65th level. In other words, only players above level 70 can enter the exploration, and you are only at level 26 now, and entering is completely a death sentence!"
"I know, but I have a systematic map and systematic skills that can help you guide and identify monsters!" Asuna insisted.
"That's not possible!" Zhou Chao said without a trace of hesitation.
After saying that, he ignored Asuna, greeted Lala and led Peikai to rush into the door opening first.
"Lara, let's go in."
"Don't worry, Zhou Chao is very strong and will definitely pass the test smoothly. Asuna stays outside and waits for our good news." Lala said to Asuna with a smile.
After saying that, he ignored Asuna and turned around and ran into the doorway, gradually disappearing from Asuna's sight.
Asuna, who watched Zhou Chao and Lala leave, did not speak, and her expression was full of worry.
...
On the other side, after a safe passage, Zhou Chao and Lala finally encountered monsters - a group of monsters composed of dozens of mutated super-large frogs. The gem-like eyes flashed with red light, and the bottom was plugged and aroused, making a "croaking" frog croaking.
"Lala, you shouldn't have to protect it anymore, right?" Zhou Chao said, seeing the monster appearing. As for what he said, it refers to a computer that was wrapped by him with superpowers to help resist the damage of the system repair program.
"It's still necessary. Without it, I can't turn on the console inside." Lala said with a distressed look on her face, "so I'll deal with these monsters."
"Forget it, let me do it first. Wait until I can't deal with you before taking action." Zhou Chao was a little moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and refused. After all, seeing a girl who is younger than him struggling in front but enjoying it safely behind him, this kind of thing just makes people feel embarrassed. Zhou Chao is not a soft man, and he really doesn't have that kind of face to accept it. Even if there are no other people here, the girl's strength is better than him...
"oh."
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chao cheered up, drew out the sharp weapons that had been renewed, and stared at the group of frog monsters in front of him.
Then the next moment, Zhou Chao climbed under his feet. In the bright silver-white Masek light, Zhou Chao's body rushed to the front of the monster frog like a cannonball. The system weapon in his hand swung and cut it on the monster frog's body.
"puff!"
After the muffled sound, a pink crack appeared from the monster frog.
Zhou Chao, who succeeded in one blow, kept moving his sword and slashed at a monster.
Then the second one...
The third one...
The fourth...
Fifth, sixth, seventh, eight...
"Sure enough, it's more exciting than using superpowers to hit people at a long range, such close-fitting flesh-like figures with real swords and guns!" During the battle, Zhou Chao said in a slight mood.
It can be said that in the past four months, Zhou Chao, who has been playing in the front line with Asuna every day, has made money by fighting monsters and collecting materials, has caused a lot of violent factors in the body of Zhou Chao. When fighting monsters, he no longer has the perfunctory and casualness when he first came to this world, and has become active and proactive. So thanks to this blessing, Zhou Chao's close combat technology, which was originally not much stronger than ordinary people, has also become much sharper. At least it should be fine to deal with three or four gangsters without using superpowers.
But even so, Zhou Dynasty still felt very difficult to deal with these frog-like monsters.
There is no way, after all, the level gap between weapons and monsters is there. If Zhou Dynasty had not used superpowers to affect the properties of the weapon to a certain extent, making it semi-virus, and even if it was impossible to break the monster's defense, it would have been impossible to cause frog monsters!
In addition, Zhou Chao also felt threatened under the attack of the frog monster. I don’t know if it was because he was distracted by the second use of the protection of Peikai computer, which made the superpowers not pure enough. The attacks of these frog monsters of unknown levels actually caused the shock of Zhou Chao’s superpowers, so he himself was also affected to a certain extent, even so serious that if he was not a real person rather than a normal game player, perhaps the HP would have been exhausted under the attack of these monsters and turned into a pile of fragments and disappeared into the space.
However, in this way, Zhou Chao also confirmed one thing, that is, his superpowers are not absolutely invincible in the SAO world! But if you think about it carefully, it is normal.
As mentioned earlier, the Zhou Dynasty's superpower may be a strong brain wave reflection, so in other words, the Zhou Dynasty's superpower is an radio wave, which is not much different from the data signals that make up the SAO world. Therefore, the two can completely influence each other, such as the distortion phenomenon caused by the Zhou Dynasty's superpower and Masek.
So in the same way, electromagnetic waves exceeding a certain intensity can also interfere with Zhou Chao's superpowers! In the game, in addition to players, the BOSS and monsters are gatherings of radio signals. And so on, high-intensity, high-level monster attacks can interfere with his superpowers, and indirectly damage him to some extent, or even kill him!
After discovering this situation, the Zhou Dynasty immediately did not dare to rely on superpowers to resist as before. It changed its fighting style and moved quickly with small steps like a drunkard. While avoiding the attack of the frog monster, it counterattacked.
As a result, the Zhou Dynasty's situation became much more stable again. Then the Zhou Dynasty cheered up and actively chopped the frog monsters... Finally, nearly twenty minutes later, the group of frog monsters in front of him were cut into pieces.
"call."
Zhou Chao, who had dealt with the frog monster, held his sword in front of him and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
"Zhou Chao, let's change me next time." At the same time, Lala walked up to her and spoke.
"Okay." Zhou Chao clicked his mouth and agreed helplessly. There is no way, he is not good at his health and cannot blame others.
Then the two of them rested for a while, then set off again and explored the depths of the maze. However, not far away, another group of monsters appeared in the passage, blocking Zhou Chao and Lala.
"Leave it to me." Lala said confidently. Then she stepped forward and came to the front of the monster.
This time the monster was a few lizard-like monsters similar to Komodo dragons. They were dark green all over and had bright spots, making it look a bit cartoonish.
The next moment, the monster opened its big mouth and a black shadow ejected towards Lala. Lala calmly turned sideways, letting the monster's attack, then rushed forward, rushed to the monster's big head, stretched out her hands, grabbed the monster's big mouth, and used force with both arms, immediately raised the lizard-like monster hand that was obviously much larger than her.
"Haaaaa."
Then he threw his arm and threw it at the other two monsters.
"Bang!"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhou Chao felt the shock of the ground on the maze under his feet.
Lala was in a state of power and rushed forward again to the lizard monster that was smashed into a ball. She clenched her fist and slammed it on the lizard monster one after another.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
Not long after, the three-headed lizard monster broke into a pile of fragments under Lala's fist and disappeared into the air.
Seeing Zhou Chao Wuyan, who had solved the monster so easily, suddenly felt hurt in his heart.
Then the two of them did not rest and set out again to walk into the depths of the maze...
Monsters came out, Zhou Chaohang, eliminate monsters, and then monsters came out, Lala, eliminate monsters, and then monsters came out, Zhou Chaohang... In this way, they didn't know how long it had passed when they were taking turns. This underground maze that cannot be guided by players in the current game world was explored by the two, and they found the secret room room that should have an operating table.
"It's there, right?" Zhou Chao said as he looked at the portal that released bright light inside.
"Well, that's it." Lala used the Peikai computer twice and confirmed.
Zhou Chao, who got the affirmative answer, nodded and walked towards the room, followed by Lala. But the next moment, the space environment of the entire corridor suddenly changed, from the original darkness to a mysterious space with purple and gray, and then a white light flashed and slashed towards Zhou Chao with a bitter aura.
"Zhou Chao, be careful!" Lala shouted.
Zhou Chao, who heard the call, dared not hesitate and immediately expanded his superpower to the maximum, forming a barrier to cover his body. At the same time, he jumped and jumped away from the spot. However, immediately afterwards, Zhou Chao still felt a pain in his head and body, and a very bad feeling surged into his heart.
"day!"
"Zhou Chao!" Lala shouted.
"Don't stand stupidly, hurry up and enter the control room!" Zhou Chao said loudly, and at the same time his mind turned sharply, controlling his superpowers to land on his chest, tightly closing the cracked wound.
Obviously, this is the root cause of the pain.
"Oh!" Lala looked at Zhou Chao with some concern when she heard this, and then rushed towards the control room with firm eyes. Obviously, Lala also knew that what to do at this time was the most correct one.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chao glanced at the skeleton head, holding a huge sickle, and a black cloak covered with a body, floating in the air, looking like the legendary death-like boss, and quickly set off and rushed towards the control room.
Chapter completed!
