Hu Die Lan
Chapter 740 Diversified Assault
The five of them listened to the news reported by the scouts as they advanced. The Colorful Clouds players had not left the Priest Academy and were still stationed there.
"Too cautious," Gu Fei said with emotion. "That guy is really very wary of my pursuit. Is he planning to just defend the Priest Academy like this?"
"Probably not, right?" Jian Gui said. "He should have seen through our temporary recruitment style. Priests are definitely a scarce profession, so he's guarding the priest camp to send small teams to attack our team. The main target is probably our priest."
"Tell everyone to protect our priest," Gu Fei said.
"Hahaha, noob, did you need to say that? Priests are always the main target for protection," Xi Yao Wu mocked Gu Fei's game knowledge.
"That's good then," Gu Fei said nonchalantly.
"Almost there. Are we... splitting up or do we have a plan?" Jian Gui still hoped that everyone could cooperate a little.
"How about we hide close to them, then deliberately make some noise? That way, they'll definitely come to check it out, but not too many people will come. We can take the opportunity to wipe out a few," Yu Tian Shen Ming excitedly came up with an idea.
The four of them were silent, as if thinking. After a while, Jian Gui turned to look at the other three: "Are we splitting up or do we have a plan?"
"Damn..."
"Yu Tian's method is a bit childish, but the idea of luring the enemy is still worth considering," Xi Xiao Tian said.
"Sister Xiao Tian, you're a good person," Yu Tian Shen Ming said, moved to tears.
"She's a good person?" Gu Fei scoffed.
"What do you mean?" Jian Gui was serious, ignoring the attitude problem of these two.
"Uh, we should first conduct several tentative attacks, at least to find out the strategies they will use when facing various attacks," Xi Xiao Tian said.
Jian Gui nodded: "You're right. Then let's play it freely, each taking a safe way to attack for a round, how about that?"
"I've been waiting for these words," Gu Fei said, agreeing and setting off at the same time.
"Wait for me!" Xi Yao Wu followed closely.
Yu Tian Shen Ming looked around. Yun Duan City was his turf. He could finally recognize the road by looking at the buildings. So, he quickly found a good long-range attack position.
"Sister Xiao Tian, come with me!" Yu Tian Shen Ming cordially greeted. Xi Xiao Tian was the same class as him, and it was good for the two of them to attack from the same position, so she followed Yu Tian Shen Ming. After a while, they went into a dead end...
"Hide here?" Xi Xiao Tian asked.
Yu Tian Shen Ming really wanted to tear open the wall and drill through it. How could he make a mistake again with a beauty in front of him? When did this dead end appear? Yu Tian Shen Ming slapped his thigh: "Damn, the city war has refreshed the layout of the city. It must be to confuse those city-attacking bandits."
"Is that so? Then which way should we go?" Xi Xiao Tian asked.
"This way, this way..." Since it's a dead end, the exit is unique. At this time, Yu Tian Shen Ming can confidently lead the way.
While the two of them were lost in the alley, Gu Fei and Xi Yao Wu had already brazenly rushed out of the street. Looking around, there were a bunch of Colorful Clouds players inside and outside the Priest Academy, standing in an orderly manner, guarding against possible attacks from all directions. As soon as the two of them showed up, before they could even shout out their opening lines, someone on the other side had already discovered them. The archer's arrows and the mage's spells were always the fastest to launch, and the two quickly shrank back into the street to avoid them.
"The defense is very tight!" Gu Fei said.
"Mm!" Xi Yao Wu said, already disappearing before Gu Fei's eyes.
"Hey!" Gu Fei called her.
"You go attract their attention," Xi Yao Wu said in the air.
"Where's Jian Gui?" Gu Fei asked.
"I agree with Xi Yao Wu's suggestion," Jian Gui sent a message to Gu Fei. He was also in the air.
Gu Fei was helpless. He couldn't stealth, and he didn't have the advantage of quietly approaching those two. He had to be cannon fodder to attract fire. He shouted loudly and rushed out of the street. Spells and arrows greeted him unceremoniously. Gu Fei dodged frantically, pretending to rush forward. Han Jia Gong Zi, sitting in the center of the team, issued an order, and the team split open from the middle, forming a U-shaped crane wing formation. The team took the initiative to meet Gu Fei, wanting to wrap him in the crane wing.
Gu Fei saw that this formation would trap him inside, which was really not good. With Han Jia Gong Zi's shameless command, he would even blow up his own people along with the enemy. He would need to use Instant Movement for dozens of meters to escape. He had no choice but to retreat. Han Jia Gong Zi naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to send a mobile team to chase Gu Fei. Seeing that Gu Fei was about to leave, he immediately recalled the team. Gu Fei saw that the other side wasn't chasing, and immediately got energetic, returning to harass them. Han Jia Gong Zi responded in the same way. The two sides pulled and tugged like this for several rounds. Han Jia Gong Zi shouted: "Are you bored? Can't you do something meaningful?"
"Who said I'm not meaningful now?" Gu Fei said.
"We've blasted a line of spells. Do you think a stealthy thief can come over?" Han Jia Gong Zi said.
"Oh?" Gu Fei was too focused on watching. The other side's firepower was fierce, and Gu Fei had to be very careful to ensure that he wasn't hit, so he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
At this time, a message flashed again. Gu Fei didn't want to make the same mistake as before, so he opened it in the midst of his busy schedule. It was Jian Gui's message: "He's right."
Gu Fei looked around, but couldn't see Jian Gui. He estimated that he was hiding in some corner! So, he helplessly nodded to Han Jia Gong Zi: "You're ruthless!" After saying that, he withdrew. He was just about to call Jian Gui and Xi Yao Wu when suddenly two figures flew out from the front battlefield, one black and one red.
Seeing Gu Fei withdraw, some of the Colorful Clouds players subconsciously stopped. Although the spell isolation zone was still there, the firepower wasn't strong. Jian Gui and Xi Yao Wu just rushed over like this. The other side shouted to surround them. Jian Gui buried his head and rushed forward. A *Mist Shadow Assault* had already stabbed out. Of the two people facing him, one was struck with white light, and the other was knocked away. On Xi Yao Wu's side, she disappeared as soon as she passed through the spell zone. The mages didn't hesitate and threw another spell at the place where she disappeared, but still didn't blast anyone out? Everyone was surprised. Han Jia Gong Zi knew about Xi Yao Wu's skill and quickly shouted: "Ignore her, keep blasting!"
But no one could see her, and there was no direction. The mages bombarded wildly, not knowing if they were dead or not. Anti-stealth players had already been ordered to rush over. Just as they were preparing to scout, they immediately became very conspicuous targets because they were too far forward. Before the anti-stealth could even be used, they were stabbed in the waist.
"She's here!!" The man shouted, but when he turned his head, there was no one there. Others were at a loss and didn't know whether to attack or not. If they attacked now, they didn't know if Xi Yao Wu would die, but this person would definitely die. Everyone couldn't make up their minds and looked back at the commander. Han Jia Gong Zi knew that it was no longer necessary. Xi Yao Wu was already close. How many knives could a thin-blooded thief withstand? This person was already destined to die. So, he issued a very inhuman instruction: "Attack!"
Before everyone's attack arrived, the thief had already been killed. So, everyone had even less psychological obstacles. Spells rumbled down. Xi Yao Wu was not made of iron after all, and her life still had a limit. At this time, she showed her body and wanted to run, but she was still a little short. In the end, she was shot down on the spot. On the other side, Jian Gui's *Mist Shadow Assault* killed people even more neatly than Xi Yao Wu. Of course, he was also more leisurely when he flashed away, but a bunch of fire spells and arrows were chasing after him. Jian Gui followed Gu Fei to learn actual combat, and his reaction had really improved a bit. While running, he was actually dodging the attacks coming from behind with a lot of thought. Gu Fei saw this scene at the street corner and nodded repeatedly. This had really shown some improvement. At least, his dodging was no longer like ordinary players who either resisted to the death, reacted reflexively, or dodged randomly. Jian Gui's dodging, at least, had a thought process and rhythm. Although it was still far from his own level, this path was definitely the right one to take.
Of course, Gu Fei didn't just watch. He appropriately killed from the corner to meet him. The sword light shone, blocking as many attacks as possible for Gu Fei. Jian Gui didn't have time to thank him, and quickly took the opportunity to run into the street corner. Those tracking arrows with turning functions were not difficult to deal with with Gu Fei around.
"Xi Yao Wu is dead," Jian Gui said, first mourning his teammate.
"I'll go and comfort her," Gu Fei said.
"Really comforting?" Jian Gui suspected. Between these two, it was usually a challenge. Would such a warm thing as comforting happen?
"Of course," Gu Fei replied without ambiguity, and immediately sent a message to Xi Yao Wu: "How many more times can you die?"
"Get lost, I'm busy!" Xi Yao Wu said.
"What are you busy with?" Gu Fei asked.
"Didn't you see that the one I'm killing is a thief?" Xi Yao Wu said.
Gu Fei was stunned, realizing that Xi Yao Wu was now busy with hunting. He quickly criticized her: "Then why are you still replying to messages? Do your job seriously!"
"..."
"Coincidentally, she just killed a thief. It's probably no problem for 25 times," Gu Fei said to Jian Gui.
"It's not a coincidence. I discussed it with her. We were both worried that we wouldn't be able to come back after rushing up, so we just brought two thieves to the resurrection point to kill for fun," Jian Gui said.
"Then she has two people to kill for fun now?" Gu Fei was jealous to death.
"I don't know if she's okay," Jian Gui said, a little worried.
"No problem," Gu Fei replied confidently.
"How do you know?"
"She was just chatting with me! I don't think she's worried at all," Gu Fei said.
As the two were chatting, suddenly a gust of wind came from the sky.
"Yu Tian has made a move!" The two of them poked their heads out together. Gu Fei glanced at the time: "Why only now?"
"Lost?" Jian Gui said.
"Definitely," Gu Fei nodded.
An arrow flew from a three-story building around the Priest Academy. Yu Tian Shen Ming liked this feeling of sniping from a high position. Over time, whenever he had such an opportunity, he would immediately look for such a position, then take everything into his eyes, and then calmly shoot arrow after arrow, shooting in all directions.
However, facing 40th-level players who were also not bad, Yu Tian Shen Ming's sniping was not enough to kill them instantly. After shooting one person with an arrow, that person just screamed and immediately looked for the direction the arrow came from. A priest quickly healed him, and this arrow was not a threat at all.
Yu Tian Shen Ming prepared to come again, but forgot that there was Han Jia Gong Zi, who had a strong sense of direction, in the other party's formation. With just this one arrow, it was enough to identify his direction. At this time, he scanned towards this side, took out his telescope, and could Yu Tian Shen Ming not be exposed? Han Jia Gong Zi had just taken the telescope back from Gu Xiao Shang when he left the city.
"There!" Han Jia Gong Zi pointed his finger, and the archers from Colorful Clouds bent their bows one after another. Yu Tian Shen Ming's damage was stronger than ordinary archer players, but he didn't have any special equipment in terms of range, just like ordinary people. At this time, he could shoot the crowd, and the crowd's counterattack could also shoot him. Arrows flew like rain towards the third floor of that building.
Yu Tian Shen Ming was depressed to death that he was recognized and suppressed with a counterattack after only shooting one arrow. He originally wanted to show off in front of the beauty, but now he shrank back and didn't even dare to show his head, and quickly looked to the left and right and said: "The firepower is so fierce, you must never show your head." Yu Tian Shen Ming reminded Xi Xiao Tian, who was also shrinking her body on the side.
"Understood," Xi Xiao Tian smiled.
"I'm coming!" Gu Fei jumped out to make trouble at this time, thinking that the other party's archers were all busy tossing Yu Tian Shen Ming, so he could have less pressure on his side. As a result, this appearance made Yu Tian Shen Ming sad. Because as soon as Gu Fei appeared, all of the other party's firepower immediately concentrated on Gu Fei. A remote three-story sniper archer? Let him snipe! If he doesn't have the ability to kill instantly, just pretend he doesn't exist.
Yu Tian Shen Ming suddenly discovered that the other party's attack had stopped. He stretched his head and peeked, and found that it was because Gu Fei had taken to the streets that they had immediately ignored him. This kind of contempt really made Yu Tian Shen Ming, this self-proclaimed expert, feel extremely humiliated. Although being humiliated in the face of Gu Fei had become a habit, now that there was a beauty in front of him, he had to fight for a breath even if he couldn't get steamed buns. Yu Tian Shen Ming glared angrily, gnashing his teeth. If the system didn't allow it, he would be able to pull open three bows now.
With one foot on the wall, Yu Tian Shen Ming struck an incomparably heroic pose and shot an arrow fiercely.
Ignore me, ignore me, ignore me!! Yu Tian Shen Ming muttered fiercely in his heart, releasing his resentment through the arrows one by one. Xi Xiao Tian also helped from the side this time, and worked hard with him, but with the two of them attacking together, facing a team with a priest as a backer, they still couldn't cause effective damage. Except for the priest responsible for healing, no one cared where their arrows were shot.
Yu Tian Shen Ming was very annoyed, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Oh, there's already someone here?"
Yu Tian Shen Ming hurriedly turned his head and was startled, the one who climbed up from behind was actually Piao Liu.
"Damn, what are you doing here! Get down, get down!!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming stopped shooting arrows and came over to push Piao Liu down. Piao Liu had already taken the lead and drilled up: "Isn't it to harass their team here?"
"Yes, but what's that got to do with you? I heard that you've already died back to your main city. Why are you back here again? Why are you so shameless?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
Piao Liu didn't listen to Yu Tian Shen Ming's rambling at all, because Xi Xiao Tian's beauty, when she turned her head, also amazed him.
"Hello, I'm Piao Liu," Piao Liu went up and greeted the beauty.
"Xi Xiao Tian," Xi Xiao Tian saw Piao Liu reaching out and went up to shake his hand.
Yu Tian Shen Ming was furious. Not only did he come to occupy his sniping spot, but he even dared to get close to the beauty beside him. He was really rebelling. Just as he was about to say something, Piao Liu's gaze had already moved away from Xi Xiao Tian and looked at the street below with some regret: "This is a bit too far for me!"
"Yeah, so why don't you hurry up and get lost!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"I was just passing by, but this location is really good. It must have been hard for you to find it, right?" Piao Liu said.
"Bullshit, I took a fancy to this place at a glance," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"Seeing is seeing, finding is finding," Piao Liu said.
"Get down!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming roared.
Piao Liu smiled and waved goodbye to Xi Xiao Tian, walked to the front and prepared to turn down. Suddenly he turned his head back, and sure enough, he saw Yu Tian Shen Ming aiming his bow at his back. Piao Liu smiled bitterly: "What are you doing? Preparing to miss on purpose?"
"Do I need your permission to miss?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"Look there!" Piao Liu suddenly pointed, Yu Tian Shen Ming turned his head to look, but there was nothing. He heard a "boom" behind him, a heavy object landing. He turned his head and saw that Piao Liu was long gone. He had jumped down directly.
"Damn, you think you can run away like this?" Yu Tian Shen Ming caught up a few steps, and continued to aim at Piao Liu's back on the roof of the building below. Suddenly he realized that something was wrong, turned his head and saw that Xi Xiao Tian was looking at him!
Doing this doesn't seem very good... Under the beauty's gaze, Yu Tian Shen Ming's rationality recovered quickly, and he finally gave up this opportunity to miss. Piao Liu's attack range as a mage was not as good as Yu Tian Shen Ming, so he naturally had to choose a location closer to the front. Then he saw Gu Fei jumping around in front of the other party's formation like a monkey, making Piao Liu, who was also a mage, feel very ashamed. Mages should be noble and elegant, waving their sleeves and reaping large swathes of life, without getting a speck of dust on themselves. Like Gu Fei, who was covered in sweat after a PK, it was really a disgrace to the identity of a mage!
Piao Liu really couldn't bear it any longer and sent a message to Gu Fei: "Hey, can you be a bit more like a normal mage? Can you use your long-range attack advantage at this time?"
"Oh? You're back?"
"Yeah, I'm back and enjoying your dance."
"Oh, where are you?" Gu Fei looked around.
"You're diagonally above and to your left. Don't look for it, you can't see me there. I say, this position is very good. Why not use it? Although it can't hide too many people, with you, me, and Gui Tong, why not use so many elite mages who are among the best in parallel worlds?" Piao Liu said.
"That idea sounds good!" Gu Fei said.
"Go call a few mages and set up a team in the Mage Academy to prepare for an ambush!" Piao Liu said.
