Infinite Trial from the Giant

"Is that guy okay?" Loki couldn't help but whisper as he looked at the other person sitting motionless against the wall.

"Loki, what do you think of the sword skills just now?" Xia Tian asked.

"Your sword skills are good, but you are obviously a novice," Loki replied.

"Why?" Xia Tian followed up his words and asked.

"You know it yourself..." Loki was a little helpless, but still answered: "The kobold just now had only a little blood left. In that situation, anyone with a little experience would not choose to attack with sword skills. The result of him doing so is just a waste of energy."

Indeed, no matter whether it is Xia Tian or Loki, if the opponent has only a trace of blood left, neither of them will use sword skills to attack, especially Xia Tian. His control over the amount of damage is even better than Loki.

But it also proves that not every newcomer is like Xia Tian.

After secretly saying this, Loki added, "Also, the fighting style just now, although the three consecutive hits of the Kobold will leave a big flaw, it is too dangerous to hide so close to the Kobold, especially when you are alone." Loki has never advocated attacking and defending by getting close to the Kobold and taking advantage of the flaws after the three consecutive hits of the Kobold. Xia Tian is fine, at least he has me by his side to support him at any time. This guy is really too brave to be alone. Does he think he is not dying fast enough?

The noise caused by the conversation between the two seemed to finally reach the ears of the rapier user in front. He saw the other party's hooded head turned towards this side, paused for a few seconds and then turned back. The back that was originally leaning against the wall slowly straightened up. The rapier user stretched out his hand to hold the wall and planned to continue moving forward.

"Hey, this isn't looking good. His condition..."

Before Loki could finish his words, the figure in front of him suddenly lost his balance and fell down.

Hearing the sound of someone falling to the ground with a bang, Xia Tian and Loki both stood there in a daze.

.......

"I just found out today that if you are too tired from fighting here, you will faint. It seems that we were right to maintain a certain level of energy before." Loki looked at the figure lying on the ground and suddenly felt a headache. "But how tired does one have to be to faint directly? What should we do now? If we stay here, the kobolds he just killed will spawn again."

Indeed, just as Loki said, it won't be long before the kobolds that were just knocked down will refresh and revive again. If the two of them don't care, there is no doubt that the fallen rapier user will be torn into pieces by the refreshed kobolds. If the two of them intervene, they will have to deal with the constantly refreshing kobolds before the other party wakes up. If it refreshes once or twice, it will be fine, but now the other party has obviously fainted, and it is completely unpredictable when he will wake up. The longer the time, the greater the danger they face.

Xia Tian was a little hesitant about whether to take care of it.

Judging from the rapier and the attire, the opponent is most likely Asuna. But even if not, to be able to use sword skills of that level, he is definitely a powerful and reliable player. Xia Tian has not forgotten what he had talked about with Loki before about the guild. It would be a waste if a player with such strength died here.

Let's confirm the other party's identity first.

Thinking of this, Xia Tian took a step forward, leaned down and reached out to pull open the hood on the other person's head.

"Xia Tian?" Loki, who was standing behind him, looked at his movements and asked in confusion.

Long chestnut hair, delicate face, the face revealed under the hood was exactly as Xia Tian had originally expected.

Asuna.

"Female...female?" Loki, who also came forward at this time, was stunned when he saw the face under the hood.

Apart from Liz, whom they had met in the forest near Medei last time, the number of female players that Xia Tian and his partner had met, including Argo, could be counted on one hand. It was the first time that they had ever seen a lone female player like Asuna. At the same time, Loki was even more shocked when he found out that the sword skill he had just used was actually performed by a female player.

"Look around." After Xia Tian gave the order, he directly opened the menu, found Liz in the friend list, and then sent her a message.

"Ask Kirito if there is any way to get the unconscious player out of the maze area."

After all, this is a game world, and the weight of objects players can carry is strictly regulated by the system. It's okay to carry some medicines, props, and replacement equipment, but it's impossible to lift a player up and carry him out. Even Xia Tian, ​​a fighter, is limited by this.

Not long after, Liz gave a reply.

"They said we can just put him in a sleeping bag and drag him out. What? Your companion is unconscious? If you can't save him, just give up. There's no need to sacrifice yourself."

Ignoring Liz's subsequent nonsense, Xia Tian turned to look at Loki.

"Loki, get your sleeping bag out."

Ever since they had to spend a night in the forest after falling unconscious due to a broken connection, Xia Tian and Loki have each prepared a sleeping bag to avoid having to sleep outdoors again.

"Sleeping bag? Why?"

"Put her in, and you are responsible for dragging her, and I will deal with those monsters." Xia Tian said, pointing at Asuna on the ground.

"Put...put it in? I see, is there another way?" Loki really didn't expect there was such a method. He then called out the menu, materialized his single sleeping bag, and walked towards Asuna.

"It's a bit rude to drag you out, but in this situation, you should be thankful to be alive. You don't want to be left here and die without knowing anything, do you?"

After seeing that Loki was ready, Xia Tian turned around and walked back the way he came.

Even without Loki's switch, these ogres and other monsters still could not pose any threat to Xia Tian. In order to speed up the process of leaving the maze area, Xia Tian sometimes deliberately used an efficient strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries when dealing with these monsters. He would often let the monster's attacks brush past his body, and then get close to the opponent to deliver a fatal blow. After the battle was resolved, he would use potions to recover and continue moving forward. Xia Tian made perfect use of the advantage of digitized health points. He knew very well how much damage each attack of the monster could cause, and as long as the blood volume was kept above the safety line, there would be no problem.

However, this fighting style frightened Loki, who was following behind. If he did not trust Xia Tian, ​​he would probably have decisively given up on Asuna and gone to help Xia Tian.

But even so, the word "be careful" still followed Xia Tian all the way out of the maze.
