Fang Zheng originally thought that the matter would just pass, but he soon realized that he had thought too simply.

"Take a break and prepare to reorganize. Next, we will start cleaning the core area of ​​this floor."

Putting away his weapon, Fang Zheng glanced at the monsters disappearing around him, then gave orders loudly.

"Eri, go ahead and scout the way, but be careful. Most of the monsters on this floor are plants. Pay attention to both sides of the road and be wary of any plants."

"Okay, Mr. Founder."

After hearing Fang Zheng's order, Ying Lili nodded, then quickly activated the three-dimensional maneuvering device and disappeared into the forest at a rapid speed.

“That’s great…”

Looking at Eriri's flying figure, Yuki couldn't help but sigh, then she came to Fang Zheng with a smile and looked at him.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, can you make one for me? I also want to fly in the sky..."

"I think so too...it seems very interesting..."

Leafa also came over at this time, raised her hand carefully and spoke.

“This is not easy and requires a long period of training.”

Fang Zheng did not object to their use of the 3D maneuvering device, but he was still planning to observe the situation for a while. Besides, not everyone was suitable for using this kind of thing. The use of the 3D maneuvering device required the user to have a good sense of space and reaction ability, which was the basic requirement for a pilot.

If you can't spin on the spot a hundred times in a row and still walk in a straight line to the finish line, then giving you the three-dimensional maneuvering device would be a death sentence.

"I'll think about it...Okay, when we reach the 50th floor, I'll let you give it a try and see who among you can handle it."

"OK!"

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Yuuki and Leafa looked at each other excitedly, then cheered and clapped their hands, then ran away with a smile. Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly as he watched the two people's backs going away. Then he looked at Asuna on the other side. At this moment, Asuna was standing not far in front of the team, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

"Mr. Fang Zheng!"

At this moment, Ying Lili fell from the sky and landed in front of Fang Zheng as lightly as a swallow.

"I've finished exploring. There aren't any particularly troublesome monsters ahead. I just need to be careful of the Piranha Plants."

"Piranha Plant?"

"Um."

As she spoke, Eriri took out a piece of drawing paper—on it was clearly a drawing of a flower that was larger than a person.

"They seem to hunt through their roots and are very stealthy. All in all, we'd better be careful."

"Understood."

Fang Zheng nodded and then looked at Asuna.

"Asuna, organize the team and let's move on. Be careful of the plants on the ground!"

“…”

However, Asuna did not respond as usual, she just stood there, motionless.

"Asuna?"

Looking at Asuna's reaction, Fang Zheng walked over curiously and patted her shoulder. Then Asuna trembled suddenly and came back to her senses.

"Hey? Mr. Fang Zheng? What's going on..."

"We need to clean up and get ready to move on."

Looking at Asuna, Fang Zheng repeated his previous words and continued looking at her.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm just daydreaming..."

"...Okay, you lead the team. Pay attention to the roots on the ground."

"yes."

Asuna had recovered by now. She reached out and slapped her face hard, then drew the rapier from her waist and looked at the others behind her.

"Keep going, let's go!"

After hearing Asuna's order, the others quickly stood up, reorganized their formation, and continued to move forward.

In front of them was a field full of flowers. Everywhere they looked, they could see large tracts of colorful flowers dancing in the wind. The sweet fragrance of the flowers drifted in the wind, making people feel happy. Because of this, the girls' originally tense moods became much more relaxed.

However, within this beautiful scenery, dangers are also hidden.

"call!!"

As everyone was walking through the flower field, suddenly a few things that looked like plant spirits jumped out, waving their branches and leaves to attack Fang Zheng and his group. Not only that, these plant monsters would also spray some pollen that would trigger various DeBuffs around their bodies, so as long as the players went up to fight, they would inevitably come into contact with the pollen and be attacked by DeBuffs.

If it's something like sleep, it's not a big deal, but paralysis and frenzy are pretty deadly DeBuffs.

Fortunately, Founder's team is not worried about this small problem.

"attack!"

Fang Zheng gave the order while raising the pitch-black sword in his hand and swung it out with force. The next moment, the sword in Fang Zheng's hand suddenly split into a long whip blade that swung forward, passing through the pollen zone and directly slashing the plant monster's body.

At this time, other girls with transforming weapons also quickly took action. Black Cat shook the umbrella in her hand, and her umbrella quickly stretched out, and then broke into pieces like nunchakus. Then Black Cat turned her hand and swept forward, knocking another plant monster to the ground.

As for the third plant monster, before it had the chance to exert its power, Shi Nong and Gabriel, who were holding bows in the distance, shot several arrows at it, breaking its defense.

By the way, even Fang Zheng hadn't expected that Gabriel, a otaku who just ate and waited for death all day, had better archery skills than Shi Nong. She could even shoot three arrows at the same time and make curved arrows that could turn... If Shi Nong was gifted, then Gabriel could be considered non-human.

But because of this, Gabriel has completely left the front-line troops, hiding in the back all day long BIUBIUBIU... This can be considered a certain level of laziness.

For the Dark Moon Sword, these ordinary plant monsters were obviously no problem at all. Most of them were destroyed in no time, with only the last one left...

“Drink it!!”

Just when the last plant monster was running low on health, Asuna hurriedly stabbed out with a sword and attacked the core area of ​​the plant monster.

But Asuna didn't notice that when she attacked with her sword and stabbed the plant monster in front of her, reducing its health to zero, her right foot stepped on a tentacle on the ground that looked normal.

And the next moment...

"ah--!!"

Along with a scream, the tentacle that was pretending to be dead on the ground suddenly jumped up like a poisonous snake that was awakened, wrapped around Asuna's right foot, and lifted her directly into the air!
