Hu Die Lan
Chapter 810 Break the Net, Then Take the Bait
"He's even worse than me..." Yun Zhong Mudi sneered. He thought trembling hands could be understood as nervousness, but shaking legs must be fear, right?
"Success or failure depends on this!" Yun Zhong Mudi gritted his teeth. He didn't know what other way he could kill Qianli Yizui after missing this opportunity. This opponent was just too, too, too difficult to deal with. The idea that numbers meant strength was completely overturned in front of him. All they could see now was the flexibility and mobility Qianli Yizui displayed single-handedly. As for their numbers… it was as if they didn't exist.
"Keep updating the position," Yun Zhong Mudi thought as he sent another message to the scout who had spotted Qianli Yizui.
"He's stopped," the scout suddenly said.
"Stopped?"
"Yeah..."
Yun Zhong Mudi was anxious, very anxious. The scouts were spread out far, so they had spotted Qianli Yizui relatively early. He hadn't even entered their attack range yet, so why had he suddenly stopped?
"Does he know?" Yun Zhong Mudi wondered, and two words immediately popped into his mind: traitor!
Yun Zhong Mudi and Black Index Finger were both guarding against this! That's why this time they hadn't mobilized all their forces. They had each selected old subordinates and brothers they could completely rely on. The other participating guilds had also carefully selected their people according to their requirements. This ambush was truly focused on quality over quantity. The primary requirement for participating players was trustworthiness.
He hadn't expected that despite all the precautions, the news had still leaked? The level of the bastard that the other side had bought off was quite high! He was actually someone they had considered trustworthy... Yun Zhong Mudi and Black Index Finger had discussed privately and had determined that if there was a traitor, they must have been bought off, rather than being planted from the beginning. The reason was simple: if there had been a mole from the start, how could their encirclement plan have succeeded? So it was only possible that someone in the guild had been bought off with gold coins after that.
Looking at the brothers behind him, all of whom he trusted one hundred percent, Yun Zhong Mudi couldn't believe that someone among them would be bought off by the opponent. He felt extremely heartbroken. But then he thought, maybe it wasn't someone from his side. Maybe it was one of Black Index Finger's men. Black Index Finger and Yun Zhong Mudi were cooperating on this big plan, and their thinking was becoming more and more synchronized. As soon as the scout said that Qianli Yizui had suddenly stopped moving, he immediately began to examine his own ranks. In the end, he couldn't believe that there would be a traitor among these brothers either, so he also thought that Yun Zhong Mudi's subordinates were the problem. As a result, the two of them stared at each other.
"Sigh..." they both sighed.
"What do we do now?" Yun Zhong Mudi said.
"We can't just wait like this. Let's move our teams, expand the range, and then contract it. What do you think?" Black Index Finger said.
"Let's wait a little longer?" Since they hadn't brought many people this time, it was quite impossible to create a super large encirclement and then shrink it down, especially with a top-notch runner like Qianli Yizui.
"He's moving! He's continuing!" The scout finally sent another message.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"We were overthinking it," Yun Zhong Mudi said with a smile.
"That's right, maybe he was just receiving a message or something," Black Index Finger said.
"All teams continue to prepare! Concentrate!" Yun Zhong Mudi ordered.
Everyone waited in full battle readiness. The several PK value-carrying players who were being used as bait continued to scatter around this area as if nothing was happening. No matter which of them Qianli Yizui attacked, the encirclement could be launched instantly. Mages would bombard the area, archers would harass and restrict movement, other classes would block the escape routes, and lurking players had already set up traps in advance. Everything had been carefully calculated. Yun Zhong Mudi silently reviewed all the details in his mind again, and felt that there were no flaws.
Qianli Yizui's coordinates were being reported by wanted mission players, and his specific movements were being reported by scouts along the way. To prevent any weaknesses from being noticed, all the scouts arranged this time were doing fixed-point reconnaissance. Once he left their line of sight, the next scout's line of sight would pick up, without needing to follow him step by step, just observing from a distance.
"Closer, closer..." This was already the last scout. Here, they could already see the trap that Qianli Yizui would eventually approach. Everyone forgot to breathe.
"He's about to enter! Everyone be careful..." Yun Zhong Mudi shouted.
"Looking at his direction, the target of his attack is likely to be... Fuck, why did he stop again!!!" The scout shouted.
"Everyone, don't panic." Yun Zhong Mudi was very calm this time. It was just a momentary stop. Perhaps he had been sending messages earlier and suddenly needed to make a serious, lengthy reply, so he stopped again. There was no need to create a tense atmosphere for himself.
"It's already countdown time. Everyone, don't relax!" Black Index Finger also cheered everyone up at this time.
Everyone knew that this opportunity was hard-won. There was no need for him to say such nonsense. Everyone was focused! Their minds were filled with that black, terrifying figure.
"He's looking around..." The more the scout looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. After Gu Fei stopped this time, he looked left, looked right, but didn't look towards the trap area at all, as if he was looking for something.
"Looking around?"
"He's detouring!" At this moment, the scout shouted again.
"Fuck, there really is a traitor!!!" Black Index Finger jumped up.
"Let's see where he's detouring to first," Yun Zhong Mudi said, suppressing his impulse this time.
"He's going left, going left... If he goes any further, I won't be able to see him..." the scout replied.
"Going left..." Yun Zhong Mudi's face turned green. He turned his head and saw Qianli Yizui below the hillside, looking up at them. After seeing the pile of people lying on the ground, he smiled and waved at them.
"Traitor, traitor..." Yun Zhong Mudi was muttering only these two words.
"Damn it, what's there to say? Brothers, let's fight!!!" Black Index Finger was right next to Yun Zhong Mudi. He turned his head and saw Gu Fei, knowing that this trap had completely failed. He directly issued the challenge.
All the players had been prepared for a long time, so this first wave of attacks was not ambiguous at all. However, it was completely different from what they had prepared for. At this time, four-fifths of the players who were supposed to be ambushing couldn't even see Gu Fei, let alone attack him. As for blocking the retreat route, it had become a legend. The attack at this time seemed more like self-defense.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to die?!" Black Index Finger saw that Yun Zhong Mudi was still in a daze, and unceremoniously slapped him on the head.
"Death is not necessarily the case," Yun Zhong Mudi said with a wry smile. They didn't have many people, but they still had a thousand or so. He believed that as long as he commanded properly, Qianli Yizui wouldn't be able to do anything to them. A thousand-man kill was just a legend. However, if Qianli Yizui couldn't do anything to them, but they couldn't do anything to Qianli Yizui either, then this ending was equivalent to losing for them.
Gu Fei easily dodged this wave of attacks below the hillside. The players who were ambushing in other places hurriedly rushed in this direction. Black Index Finger didn't plan to give up so quickly. He commanded six squads to detour from the left and right, still wanting to intercept Qianli Yizui's retreat. He also had archers and mages frantically firing arrows and attacks downwards, playing a long-range game with Qianli Yizui, which was at least safer than playing close combat.
Under Black Index Finger's command and coordination, Qianli Yizui had tried to rush up several times but was pushed back by the attacks, making the guy more and more excited as he fought. Qianli Yizui was still trying stubbornly, hoping that his six dispatched squads could reach his rear if he entangled for a while longer, so that the encirclement could succeed!
"Brothers, hit him, hit him hard!" Black Index Finger shouted. People who didn't know the situation would have thought it was a cruel battle, but in fact, it was just a bunch of people pressing down on one person below the mountain, not daring to let this person get close at all.
"We can start charging now..." Yun Zhong Mudi calmly observed the situation and suddenly said. He saw the six teams that were supposed to cut off Qianli Yizui's retreat route. They had actually completed the roundabout maneuver. Yun Zhong Mudi didn't expect Qianli Yizui to be completely unprepared for such a simple tactic. Was he too confident?
"Archers, strengthen your attacks, pay attention to the rhythm, and don't stop!" Black Index Finger's legs weren't shaking at this time, but his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that many people around him were looking sideways: he was just doing some command, but he was actually working so hard. What a talent!
Black Index Finger was really nervous at this time! At such a critical moment, if the archers' sustained attacks weren't strong enough, giving Gu Fei an opening, all their efforts would be in vain again once a teleport scroll was used.
Fortunately, everyone had been mentally prepared for this situation, and the archers had also carefully studied and coordinated. At this time, they were also very competitive. No one made a mistake due to nervousness. Each of them was steady and steady. Gu Fei really couldn't spare any time to even chant, let alone use a teleport scroll under their continuous attacks.
Chased by the archers' arrows, Gu Fei suddenly began to retreat. He turned left, and now he was returning the same way. After a few steps, he had already disappeared behind the hillside. Yun Zhong Mudi and Black Index Finger shouted, and quickly led people to chase after him. A group of people saw Qianli Yizui being chased away by them helplessly, and they were very energetic. Amidst a series of battle cries, they prepared to rush down the hillside. The person walking on the outermost side glanced sideways and vaguely saw a bit of Qianli Yizui's figure. The direction of his movement stunned him, and he exclaimed in surprise: "He seems to have turned in!"
"Turned in? Damn it!!" Yun Zhong Mudi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately became alarmed. The others also realized what the situation was, and quickly began to move horizontally.
"At this time, he actually rushed back into our originally designed ambush location, but our ambush has already been scattered. This guy..." Yun Zhong Mudi grabbed a handful of his hair. He realized that they had obviously been fooled again. Qianli Yizui had performed a feint to the east and attack to the west all by himself. His goal was still those players with PK values, but he obviously knew that these guys were bait, poison. Even so, he still didn't give up. He messed up the fishing net and hooks first, and then greedily rushed towards the bait again.
"Are those guys still there?" The battle had been going on for a while, and Yun Zhong Mudi had forgotten about those bait guys. He quickly sent a message to inquire.
The message could not be received... The cold system prompt. Another handful of Yun Zhong Mudi's hair was pulled out. These idiots, had they been waiting there the whole time?
The bait didn't want to wait in place, but when Qianli Yizui turned around earlier, they immediately lost their value and were immediately forgotten. Even the original scouts had returned to their teams to participate in the battle at this time, but they didn't have anyone calling them. The opponent was Qianli Yizui, and each team was aiming for a hundred people. There were only ten or so of them together, and there was definitely not a single priest. Did they want to send themselves to Qianli Yizui to help him complete his mission? The bait, like everyone else, hadn't expected Qianli Yizui to dismantle their net and still come to eat the food. They thought staying in place was the safest thing to do, but they didn't expect Qianli Yizui to turn around and catch them off guard.
Gu Fei was also quite surprised that these guys were so obedient and stayed in place waiting for him. He had expected that these guys might run out, and then he would have to chase and kill them all over the place. But now it was good, they were lined up neatly in front of him. How could Gu Fei be polite? He went up and slashed three of them with one sword. The faster archers on the hillside had also caught up, and were shooting wildly at Gu Fei from above. Gu Fei immediately began to use unpredictable footwork. The archers watched Gu Fei right under their noses, but they just couldn't aim. They aimed at this position, and when they released the string, the person was in another direction.
Yun Zhong Mudi, with his short legs, arrived a step later. When he saw this scene, he immediately knew that the earlier suppression by the archers was also a pretense. This guy's footwork was really too flamboyant, and flamboyant footwork was the archer's nemesis. Predictive shooting was much more difficult than fixed-point shooting.
"Block it, block the opening, don't let him run out!!!" The place that Yun Zhong Mudi and the others had carefully chosen was a natural pocket formation on the hillside. One pit was a small leveling area, which was a popular place for players to occupy for leveling. There were many such places in this mountainous area. Once a team occupied it, basically no outsiders would bother them, and the monster spawn rate was just right. It was the most popular leveling area near Yun Duan City, extremely popular and extremely sought-after, occupied non-stop twenty-four hours a day. However, this terrain was also too conspicuous. If Qianli Yizui really walked up to it, he would be very likely to become suspicious. Yun Zhong Mudi and the others also had ways to deal with this situation, but before they could implement it, Gu Fei detoured and pulled them out first, making all their arrangements fail spectacularly.
At this time, Gu Fei had still entered the pocket, but Yun Zhong Mudi didn't feel optimistic at all. The people who were originally arranged to block the opening had run elsewhere due to the readjustment of tactics. There were not enough people to seal the opening in a hurry. Yun Zhong Mudi was shouting loudly, but he didn't move himself, so his subordinates, and some players from other guilds, silently didn't move. Everyone could see that it was a problem to block the opening right now. Facing Qianli Yizui, wasn't this just sending them to their deaths? The guild leader only knew how to shout, but he didn't take the lead himself. Wasn't he just trying to get others to act as cannon fodder to buy some time?
At a critical moment, the command was not effective. Yun Zhong Mudi was secretly angry that everyone really didn't have a spirit of sacrifice, but it was really hard to say this. Yun Zhong Mudi could only bite the bullet and set an example. Although his warrior's legs were short, there was some gravity acceleration as he slid down this hillside, so he was also swift. While sliding down, he shouted: "Everyone come down and block the opening."
Yun Zhong Mudi's subordinates saw that the guild leader was taking the lead, so naturally they couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore. They also started to slide down while biting the bullet. The archers were happy. They could continue to fire arrows from the high ground, and it didn't matter whether they hit or not, because they didn't have to run down. At this time, the players from other guilds looked at each other. Should they listen to Yun Zhong Mudi's command and act as cannon fodder? That was a question.
"Damn it!! Hurry down!!!" Yun Zhong Mudi, who was taking the lead, was of course the first to land. When he looked up, he saw that the people from other guilds besides his brothers were all hesitating and not acting. Yun Zhong Mudi was furious! It was a matter of life and death to not be united at this time! Looking back at the distance, the six flanking squads couldn't be counted on now. The ones left beside Black Index Finger above were all archers, and the mages would be in place soon, but once the mages were in place, the attacks would completely cover this area. At that time, Qianli Yizui would definitely break through, and he seemed to be standing a little too far forward.
Everything happened earlier than Yun Zhong Mudi had expected. While dodging the arrows, Gu Fei had cut down several people and began to evacuate in advance. Yun Zhong Mudi had less than a hundred people who had come down, and there were only four or five rows of people lining up at this opening. In order to prevent Qianli Yizui from teleporting through the wall of people in an instant, they had to divide it into inside and outside, which was as weak as it could be. Looking at the momentum of Qianli Yizui rushing over, it was as if they didn't exist at all.
"There's no way to run..." Yun Zhong Mudi didn't expect that taking the lead would lead to such a result. At this time, if he ran away, he would really lose face, so he could only bite the bullet and go up. He hoped that Qianli Yizui wouldn't rush from his side! Yun Zhong Mudi was praying, and the next second he fell into an ice cellar, because he heard Gu Fei greeting him: "Hello, Guild Leader Yun Mu!"
"So it really is me?" Yun Zhong Mudi also knew that as soon as he came down, he would be Qianli Yizui's number one target. He had really become the leader of the cannon fodder this time. Sacrificing himself in the line of duty, he hoped to gain some prestige in the guild! Yun Zhong Mudi was also considered a great expert, but he didn't have any hope of surviving. Although he knew that there were many priests waiting behind him to heal him, could they keep up with Qianli Yizui's methods?
Turning around, Double Flame Flash, Palm Thunder, Lightning Spell...
Several instant-cast spells arrived in one breath, so seamlessly that the current fighters known for their combos would be ashamed to find a hole to hide in.
"Killing people is really damn skilled and smooth!" Yun Zhong Mudi said helplessly, and then became cannon fodder.
