"ah--!!"

With a scream, Asuna was hung in the air. According to Asuna's reaction, she could escape from danger by cutting off the tentacle with a sword. But for some reason, Asuna, who had been fighting bravely before, seemed to be a different person this time. She screamed in fear, struggled constantly, and even dropped her sword, but she didn't want to fight!

What's going on?

To be honest, Fang Zheng was quite surprised to see this scene. You know, this could only be a mistake made by novices or immature rookie fighters. Asuna had fought with them for so many floors, and was a leader among them. How could she make such a mistake?

In Fang Zheng's opinion, this was just as incredible as an eighth-ring wizard making a mistake when reciting a magic missile spell, causing the magic power to backfire.

In fact, not only Fang Zheng, but even the other girls were a little surprised by Asuna's reaction. After all, Asuna has always been the stronger one in the team. They never thought that she would be hung in the sky and shivering like a little girl!

However, Restia and Esther obviously didn't care about this. With the extension of its tentacles, a huge carnivorous plant poked its head out from the flower field. It opened its mouth and dozens of tentacles quickly wrapped around Asuna. At this time, Restia and Esther had already rushed into the flowers. With the flash of swords, the next moment the tentacles wrapped around Asuna were cut off by the roots. Then Asuna screamed and fell directly from the sky.

"Bang!"

But just before she landed on the ground, Fang Zheng rushed over and grabbed her collar, pulling Asuna and throwing her to the side with the impact force. Then he saw a tentacle "swish" passing by Asuna and hitting the flower field.

At this time, Shi Nong and Gabriel also reacted. They quickly raised their longbows and shot at the Piranha Plant, forcing it to retreat. Then the others quickly surrounded it and started fighting.

A carnivorous plant was nothing to Fang Zheng and his group. Therefore, they didn't waste much time and completely destroyed it. However, when Fang Zheng walked back to Asuna, he couldn't help but frowned.

It was not because of anything else, but because there seemed to be something wrong with Asuna in front of him.

She was sitting in the flowers in a daze, her eyes dull, and she looked as if she had been seriously frightened. This would not be strange for other girls, but it was very strange for Asuna. Fang Zheng knew that Asuna was a very determined and persistent girl.

You have to know that they have been in this game world for almost half a year. Most people have gradually become familiar with the life in the game, and many people no longer have the sense of urgency that they had before to clear a hundred levels in one go. Even Leafa, Kuroneko and others would occasionally go out for a walk, shopping, have a meal, relax, etc.

Of course, there are also people who wish they could stay here forever, such as Gabriel. She even said publicly, "When I think about seeing Vinay's stinky face when I go out, I might as well stay here forever."

But unlike them, Asuna is very serious and hardworking every day, and is always the hardest working one in the team, so much so that others can hardly keep up with her.

And because of this, Asuna is not very sociable in the team.

This is one of the reasons why Kuroneko didn't object to Eriri drawing Asuna's book. If Eriri had used Aoba or Leafa, who were close to Kuroneko, as the material, Kuroneko might have reconsidered. But Asuna is different. In the Dark Moon Sword team, she gives people the impression of being a study committee member who is too serious and responsible. Everyone thinks that people like her are very powerful, but...

Well, but I never thought about being like her.

However, Asuna's current behavior is obviously abnormal.

"Asuna?"

Looking at the girl sitting in the flower field, Fang Zheng frowned. At this moment, Asuna seemed to come back to her senses, was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Zheng, I..."

"What's wrong with you? You look very wrong. This is not the kind of mistake you would make."

“I…I…”

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Asuna's face turned red. She said "I" for a long time, but finally lowered her head and said nothing.

It seems that the situation is not normal.

"That's all for today."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately made a decision and turned to speak to everyone. He had originally thought of defeating the lord of this floor in one go today, but Asuna's performance was too abnormal, and she was the main attacker in the team. Fang Zheng couldn't beat the lord when she performed so poorly, so he quickly spoke to the others.

"Today's battle ends here. You can go back and rest. We will fight again tomorrow from the teleportation crystal."

"Okay, Mr. Founder."

The girls didn't care about Fang Zheng's request to return, they nodded and turned to leave. After all, this wasn't the first time Fang Zheng suddenly stopped the Boss Raiders on the way, and everyone knew that any small mistake could put their lives in danger, so in this case, they would rather be careful than act rashly.

Looking at Asuna's back as she staggered away with the main group like a wandering ghost, Fang Zheng frowned, then he waved to Eriri who was standing not far away.

"Eri, come here."

"What's wrong?"

"What did you talk to Asuna about that day?"

Thinking carefully, Fang Zheng could find that Asuna's abnormal behavior seemed to have started from that time. But if she and Eriri had a quarrel, it was not obvious. At least Eriri's behavior was normal and there was nothing wrong. And Asuna did not seem to have any problems with Eriri.

"Nothing..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Ying Lili frowned and thought hard for a while.

"I just apologized to her and promised not to draw again, and she forgave me."

"that's all?"

"Oh, by the way, she also asked me how many books I had drawn, and then said she would confiscate them, so I gave her the book I had."

"All?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, while Ying Lili nodded.

"Yeah, I thought she was going to delete it, but she took it away instead... What happened?"

"It seems that this is where the problem lies."

Fang Zheng sighed, while Ying Lili's eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh? Just because of a few notebooks? Is that so serious?"

"I guess you can't understand..."

Looking at the stunned Eriri in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly. Although Eriri was also a young lady from a good family, she had grown up with notebooks almost since she was a child, and she had drawn a lot in the notebooks. For Eriri, notebooks were a normal part of her worldview and there was nothing to worry about.

But Asuna is different!

During his interactions with Asuna, Fang Zheng discovered that Asuna was very similar to some of the "good students" he had met in school before. She was very obedient, studied very hard, was very serious, and basically knew nothing else.

Letting such children come into contact with this book would undoubtedly be a major cleansing of their worldview.

Looking at Asuna's absent-minded look, if it happened in the real world, she would probably make the front-page headlines like "Three-good students have fallen into depravity, Green Dam protection is urgent".

"It seems that I have to have a good talk with her."

After determining the crux of the problem, Fang Zheng made a decision immediately.

At least, it can't go on like this.
