Hu Die Lan

Chapter 753 Snatching the Opportunity

Chapter 210 Berserk Without Reason!

“How could it go berserk for no reason!” The four guild leaders were frantic. Bosses usually went berserk when their lives were in danger. How could it go berserk at full health right from the start? If it went berserk again before dying, would there be any justice?

“It triggered something. The item is on her,” Ye Xiaowu said.

“What do we do now?” The four guild leaders were in tears. He had only exchanged one sentence with Ye Xiaowu when Courtney fired another volley of scatter shots, instantly killing anyone hit. There was no additional damage, just pure physical attack. Courtney’s attack power was extremely formidable.

“It’s pure physical attack, only heavily armored warriors or constitution-based warriors can withstand it,” Ye Xiaowu pointed out. In fact, most priests also invested in high constitution, but they mostly wore cloth armor with very low defense. Parallel World claimed that equipment had no class or level requirements, but it did have attribute requirements. High-level armor required both constitution and strength. Priests usually had enough constitution, but not enough strength. To equip themselves, they could, of course, invest in strength. However, the only benefit was defense. The strength attribute itself did not help the priest’s abilities in any way. So how to choose was a topic that players had been studying.

This was obviously not the time to study these things. Warrior classes had always had the habit of protecting their teams. At this time, faced with Courtney’s berserk scatter shots, many warriors had proactively stepped forward to take the hits. But Ye Xiaowu’s reminder was not in vain. Warriors also had many types due to different stat distributions. Although their defense was not low after wearing heavy armor, berserker warriors who prioritized attack and madly increased strength could not act as shields at this time. They were still within Courtney’s instant-kill range and died miserably.

The four guild leaders frantically issued orders, and heavily armored warriors and constitution-based men stepped forward to act as shields.

Courtney did not care who was standing in front of her. She just desperately fired arrows while charging forward. Heavily armored warriors and constitution-based men could indeed withstand one of her arrows, but before everyone could cheer, Gu Fei instantly teleported over and added a Twin Fire Slash, killing them just as cleanly. Then, he flipped over and rolled on the ground, specializing in attacking the lower body while avoiding another wave of Courtney’s attacks. Players were complaining endlessly. Either of these characters appearing alone would be troublesome, but players could still deal with it. But now that they were attacking together, their damage was so high that they were really unable to resist.

The most disgusting thing was Courtney’s special aggro. She did not care about other players trying to lure her away. She was single-mindedly chasing after Gu Fei. This made the players grit their teeth.

“What to do? What to do?” The four guild leaders were relying on Ye Xiaowu. Ye Xiaowu opened his mouth but could not say anything. He would have a way to deal with any Boss or NPC. But wanting to deal with Gu Fei was something he was far from capable of. How could he know what Gu Fei would do next? This was a real human, not a robot he had designed. Gu Fei was now using ground-based knife techniques, rolling around on the ground. The reeds were so high that they could not even find Gu Fei’s shadow.

“Where is he?” Ye Xiaowu watched Gu Fei crouch down and disappear, unable to find him.

“How would we know!” The four guild leaders were angry. They were all waiting for this guy to come up with ideas, but at the critical moment, he was useless.

“Let the heavy armor cover, my mage group is coming over.” Ni Liu Er Shang really did not want this NPC to die, but looking at the current situation, he gritted his teeth and made the contribution.

“Guild Leader Ni Liu is truly understanding and a role model for us all.” The three guild leaders were so hypocritical!

Ni Liu Er Shang was too lazy to pay attention to him. The warriors in the circle began to retreat instead of surrounding and attacking from above, making space. But the warriors' movement could not compare to Courtney's. Pursuing at high speed, she caught up to the warriors in one step. As soon as she got close, she took out her dagger. As the blade flashed, the warriors fell even faster than those hit by arrows. It was impossible to surround the NPC in the core and bombard her with mage spells in comfort.

Ni Liu Er Shang did not care about these things at all. With a command, the mages who had arrived cast area-of-effect spells, covering a pile of warriors around Courtney as well.

“Damn…” Wu Shi Zhi Jian cursed inwardly. Ni Liu Er Shang was definitely doing it on purpose. Seeing that the warriors over there were from their Zongheng Sihai, he did not consider it at all and directly bombed them together.

“What is this doing?” Ye Xiaowu was shocked to see the other side’s tactics.

“This is a necessary sacrifice,” Ni Liu Er Shang said calmly.

“Are you confused? This is a Boss-level NPC, do you know how much health she has? You’re bombing with area-of-effect spells so many times, sacrificing so many people? Do you think you can wipe out her health?” Ye Xiaowu said.

Ni Liu Er Shang was also stunned. After the area-of-effect bombardment just now, a pile of players died, but Courtney was still standing. Ni Liu Er Shang suddenly felt a little panicked. That’s right! He didn’t know how much health this target had at all. Was this kind of bombardment, even with his own people, really effective? “This…” Ni Liu Er Shang stammered, vaguely feeling that he had made a mistake somewhere.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian had sacrificed a bunch of warriors. At this time, after hearing Ye Xiaowu's reminder, he reacted and was in tears: "What the hell, this isn't Qian Li Zui! This is a Boss!"

"Dizzy!" Ni Liu Er Shang finally realized where the problem was. The battle with Qian Li Zui had trained them into the habit of bombing both enemies and themselves. Qian Li Zui was a player. Faced with such a wave of large-scale, overlapping bombardments, he could not avoid it and would naturally die. But now this was a Boss. Could the Boss's health be at the same level as a player? Wanting to kill the Boss with a wave of coordinated shots after stacking some people was taking the Boss too lightly.

Ni Liu Er Shang broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the mistake he had made. This wave of bombardment was so refreshing, directly blasting open a hole in the pile of warriors from Zongheng Sihai. Courtney took the opportunity to rush out, continuing to shoot randomly.

"Maybe we killed Qian Li Zui just now?" Ni Liu Er Shang comforted himself!

"Qian Li Zui certainly didn't die," Ye Xiaowu said.

"How do you know?"

"Qian Li Zui is actually her current aggro target. If Qian Li Zui dies, her actions will lose direction," Ye Xiaowu said.

"So, according to this, we just need to kill Qian Li Zui, right?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian was pleasantly surprised.

"Why do you sound so surprised?" Yun Zhong Mu Di said, "Didn't we decide to kill the NPC to cut off his quest because we found Qian Li Zui difficult to deal with?"

"It was Qian Li Zui who refused to enter our ambush and was yelling outside that we were forced to do this. Now that he has fallen in, we should treat him as the main target," Wu Shi Zhi Jian’s thinking was very clear.

"Wait, you said that NPC is following Qian Li Zui's footsteps?" Ni Liu Er Shang suddenly said.

"She will certainly make some intelligent judgments and counterattacks based on the attacks around her, but the general direction of her advance will not change," Ye Xiaowu said.

"Then don't you think the direction she's moving in seems to be towards us?" Ni Liu Er Shang was shocked.

"Damn it!!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian exclaimed. He only saw a blur in front of his eyes, and a black figure suddenly flashed out.

Gu Fei!

Qian Li Zui!

No one expected that at this time, he would not rush out of the encirclement to continue his task. Instead, while the players were being tormented by Courtney and at a loss, he sneaked to the headquarters of the four guild leaders.

Instantaneous movement. When Gu Fei suddenly appeared in front of the few people, it was too late for them to run.

"Twin Fire Slash!!!" Gu Fei twisted his body to attack, and no one could dodge it. But the experts among the guild leaders each had their own tricks and withstood Gu Fei's attack. Poor Ye Xiaowu. Gu Fei only completed the first spin of the Twin Fire Slash and he was already dead. Gu Fei was very sorry. He hadn't even said hello!

The four guild leaders had no intention of fighting Gu Fei. They took this hit because Gu Fei suddenly teleported and flashed in the middle of them. The four of them only hated being so close to the other guys. At this time, while suffering Gu Fei's attack, they ran in four directions, praying that Gu Fei would chase after one of the other three, but definitely not chase after them.

The four guild leaders happened to be four short-legged guys. They all knew that if Gu Fei wanted to chase them, it would be a matter of moments. While running wildly and calling for help, they looked back to see who would be unlucky.

Ni Liu Er Shang once again demonstrated his meticulous mind. He realized that Gu Fei's sudden attack on them was not a meaningless act of showing off. This was a quest, a quest for a kill with honor! However, Gu Fei's quest should be Wu Shi Zhi Jian. Ni Liu Er Shang felt a little calmer after thinking of this. The other three looked back to see who the unlucky one was. He looked back to see how Wu Shi Zhi Jian was killed.

So he saw Qian Li Zui, with the blade less than one centimeter away from him.

"Why me?" Ni Liu Er Shang blurted out.

"Why not you?" Gu Fei asked strangely.

"Isn't your quest Wu Shi Zhi Jian?" Ni Liu Er Shang said.

"It was, but it isn't anymore." Gu Fei said gloomily, "I don't know which group of people was guarding my offline spot to ambush me when I logged in today. The quest failed, so I had to change it to you."

Ni Liu Er Shang was in tears. He was the one who was guarding Gu Fei's offline spot to ambush him…

"This is a kill with honor…" Thinking of this, Ni Liu Er Shang's legs went soft. But he did not give up. He tried his best to support himself. He had an ice shield, he had mana support, but he was swept to the ground by Gu Fei.

Twin Fire Slash, Palm Thunder, Lightning Spell, Fireball Spell, Barrage of Fireballs.

Gu Fei used all the skills he could. Ni Liu Er Shang was quite resistant. The ice shield was a shield with hit points, but it was shattered in a moment under Gu Fei's powerful attacks. Mana support used the consumption of mana to bear the loss of health after being attacked. Mages had far more mana than health, so this skill was very practical.

But Ni Liu Er Shang could not hold on in the end.

He could not get help. The damned reeds around him made him disappear from everyone's sight. Even if a priest arrived, they would not be able to cast skills if they could not see him.

Ni Liu Er Shang's mana was not infinite, and besides, the defense coefficient on his body was not working during the mana support effect, so he was bearing 100% of the damage.

Ni Liu Er Shang's only gain was that he fully experienced how powerful Gu Fei's attack was.

A white light finally rose, and Ni Liu Er Shang was killed with honor. The system announced the news among the city defenders, and there was jubilation. Jian Gui and others sent congratulatory messages one after another and asked in surprise how the task was completed by killing Ni Liu Er Shang.

Even Yu Tian Shen Ming and the other three who were preparing to approach from a distance did not understand. Gu Fei's plan did not seem to include this episode.

Ni Liu Er Shang's support bought time for the other three guild leaders. Yun Zhong Mu Di was only two hits away from being completely killed, and he was running through the reeds, crawling and rolling. Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Hei Se Shi Zhi were not much better off. While hiding in a panic, they prayed that Ni Liu Er Shang would die a little slower.

The three of them finally escaped their fate. If there was a real opportunity, Gu Fei would not mind giving them a supplementary attack.

Reinforcements were rushing towards this side, but Courtney was also quickly arriving. The places she passed were all white lights. In fact, she was much more imposing than Gu Fei.

Gu Fei shrank back into the reeds and moved out of sight of the players.

His movement speed hardly slowed down due to the change in posture. This was another benefit of kung fu. Ground-based kung fu, how to roll on the ground at high speed was a basic course. Gu Fei took this opportunity to make good use of it.

Ye Xiaowu was dead.

One of the four guild leaders was dead, and the other three had escaped death. They were still in a state of panic.

The players were in chaos, not knowing how to proceed. Gu Fei was elusive in the reeds, occasionally flashing to someone's feet and reaping their lives. Courtney was an NPC. Shameless, she did not need to see Gu Fei to know his movements clearly. She followed Gu Fei's movements and charged out, unstoppable.

When Gu Fei rolled out of the reeds, the players realized that this guy had actually broken through.

And the berserk Courtney could not be stopped by the players in a chaotic situation. She also successfully stepped out of the reeds.

Gu Fei ran, and Courtney followed closely behind him without any effort. The combination of three agility classes in one made her movement speed unknown. What's more, she was in a berserk state.

"They're coming over!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming and the other three were ambushing in the small forest on the hillside. They finally saw Gu Fei leading Courtney out of the encirclement.

"It seems like we don't need to help," Xi Xiaotian said, watching. Agility-less professions could not catch up with the two of them. Agility professions came out to make trouble, and Courtney turned around and fired a scatter shot… Agility, no health, flowers blooming everywhere, extremely magnificent by the reeds.

"This NPC is so strong! If we keep carrying her like this, can we keep her as a pet?" Yu Tian Shen Ming fantasized.

Gu Fei had already run closer and called out to the three of them: "Withdraw."

The three of them jumped out of the small forest and joined the running team. The people from the four major guilds dared not chase after them. Soon, Courtney thought she was in a disengaged state and immediately stopped moving. She started rehearsing lines with Gu Fei again.

"Where is Angus?" Courtney, who had just killed people like flies, seemed to have tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Give me the things." Gu Fei asked the three to collect the small pieces of paper from their hands and handed them to Courtney.

"Ah!" Courtney exclaimed. Of course, she recognized what these were. Soon, she turned over the dialogue notes that the two had passed to each other in the past. She saw those Angus's soliloquies of longing and confession.

"Angus, why don't you come to see me?" Courtney would naturally be curious.

"Because something terrible happened to him," Gu Fei said.

"Yes, he was dismembered by you," Yu Tian Shen Ming silently complained. Gu Fei kicked him away with both feet. Courtney completely ignored these things and just asked: "What happened to him?"

"Something seemed to have gone wrong in the Yun Jiao Lake bottom water storage and drainage project. Angus, his body was obviously modified. He is not an ordinary human. He is in great pain," Gu Fei said.

"You're very into the role," Xi Xiaotian complained. Gu Fei glared at her.

"Then where is he now?" Courtney asked.

It was finally time to tell the truth. Gu Fei took a deep breath: "He… is already dead." Courtney was stunned and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Damn, what's going on? She died? A critical hit?" Gu Fei was anxious and quickly squatted down to check the situation.

"Does she have any top-quality equipment on her body? Can we take it off?" Yu Tian Shen Ming was also very anxious.

Gu Fei glared at him.

"There should also be some thief-type stuff, right? I saw her using a dagger at close range," Xi Yao Wu said.

"You two be quiet!" Gu Fei was angry. He tried Courtney's breath like he was testing a human and found that she was not dead.

"What to do now? Are we going to find a doctor for her?" Gu Fei said.

"Maybe she'll wake up on her own," Xi Xiaotian said.

"We can't wait here, right? Those guys might come over again," Gu Fei said, and he dragged Courtney up from the ground.

"Let's go to the forest over there to hide?" Xi Xiaotian pointed to one side.

"Yeah!" Xi Yao Wu and Yu Tian Shen Ming nodded, and the three of them walked over there.

"Come and help!!" Gu Fei was furious. He was actually the weakest of the four.

Inside the forest, Courtney woke up not long after they put her down. It seemed that the system did not dare to define her coma as lasting for three days and three nights to waste the players' time.

Courtney's face turned very pale, and her eyes were dull. She looked at Gu Fei and asked: "How did he die?"

The other three also looked at Gu Fei, seeing how he would explain that he had cut off the person's arm.

Gu Fei was very calm: "I'll take you to see."

"Can the body still be there?" Xi Xiaotian and the others were dubious.

"Maybe it will be!" Gu Fei said, "That disgusting thing, would you guys pick it up?"

"Hey, don't say that, it's very pitiful!" Xi Yao Wu was angry.

"That's not what I meant, I'm just being objective," Gu Fei said.

Leaving the small forest, the four of them and one NPC went to the direction of the Yun Duan Mine. The place where Angus was killed was already empty. Before Gu Fei and the others could find Angus, the Boss-level NPC, with the combination of three professions, had amazing eyesight. Or rather, she was guided by the system, suddenly accelerated, and ran in one direction. The four of them followed closely.

Angus was lying quietly on the ground.

The severed arm was bloody and mutilated, and the clothes had been torn apart, obviously searched for equipment by the players. Underneath the torn clothes, his abnormal rotten flesh was exposed. The expression on his face still retained the ferocity before his death. His hair was like dead grass, and his eyes, which had not been closed in time, stared blankly at the sky, making people feel his helplessness and sorrow.

Courtney covered her mouth, not letting herself make a sound, just crying quietly. She suddenly squatted down and hugged Angus in her arms.

Still not crying out loud, the four of them stood quietly behind her.

=============================

The lag these past two days is getting more and more excessive, what's going on, what's going on! Power! The power to stop my lag!
