Hu Die Lan
Chapter 538 The Profound Depth of Connotation
After leaving LinYin City, Broken Arrow plunged into the forest, heading straight for the area Deep Freeze had reserved for themselves. He was doing his best to help the Deep Freeze guild improve. Although it was still far from the jungle combat he envisioned, he had expected this and never expected these players to reach that level.
After all, everyone was just here to have fun in the game, not to be drilled. Right now, they had a certain amount of motivation due to novelty, anticipation, and the desire for victory, but that motivation could disappear at any time. Broken Arrow only hoped to help these guys make some progress while they were motivated, giving them an advantage in forest PK for a while.
So far, the effect was quite obvious. At least Broken Arrow had helped them get rid of many obvious bad habits and taught them many good habits they should have. In these aspects, the Deep Freeze players already had PK details that others were unaware of. Their abilities were already above average.
"I've taught them everything I can help them with, and the rest isn't really suitable for the game... They can practice on their own from now on. Now that Xiao Wu has started a head-on conflict with Qianli Yizui and the others, it seems it's time to say goodbye to Waterdeep." Just as Broken Arrow was thinking about this, he suddenly received a message from Waterdeep asking where he was.
"Coming over," Broken Arrow replied, not thinking much of it. He was usually in the forest with everyone at this time, so it was normal for Waterdeep to ask if he wasn't there.
"Okay. Waiting for you." Waterdeep replied simply, attaching his coordinates.
Broken Arrow still didn't suspect anything. Waterdeep was one of the people he had taught skills to, and also one of the best in his mind. He was smart, had a strong ability to learn, and knew how to draw inferences about other cases from one instance. He could quickly integrate the things Broken Arrow taught him into the game. Moreover, his attainments in the game were much higher than Broken Arrow's. He could combine some skills and rules in the game to better display what Broken Arrow taught him. At this time, Broken Arrow had to learn some things from him in return. In addition, Waterdeep was a great friend. Broken Arrow liked this friend quite a bit.
Deep in the forest.
Broken Arrow finally saw Waterdeep's figure, and at the same time, he immediately saw the person next to Waterdeep. A black mage robe fell to the ground, and a dark purple longsword was stuck straight into the ground in front of him. The halo of the sword didn't dim at all in this dimly lit forest.
"This guy came so quickly..." Broken Arrow was a little surprised that Gu Fei acted so quickly. It seemed like he was still communicating with Ye Xiao Wu not long ago, right? In the blink of an eye, he was actually standing in this forest waiting for him. He thought that he would be a little conflicted about this because of Waterdeep and the others. Even if he took action, he wouldn't come to Deep Freeze's side. Now he realized that he was wrong. Qianli Yizui's personal will was very firm. This kind of personal relationship didn't seem to affect his behavior at all, not even a little bit. Look, not only did he not avoid Waterdeep, he was directly standing with Waterdeep waiting for him.
While thinking about these things, Broken Arrow had already arrived in front of the two.
"You're quite brave! You actually walked over without any hesitation when you saw me standing here," Gu Fei said.
"Hey! We agreed that I'd go first!" Waterdeep said quickly, afraid that Gu Fei would start communicating with body language immediately.
Broken Arrow just smiled and said, "I'm here to find Waterdeep, why would I be afraid?"
"Okay, you two can talk about your business first," Gu Fei nodded.
Broken Arrow looked at Waterdeep, "It seems you already know the gist of it."
Waterdeep nodded, "But I don't understand what you're thinking."
"It's very simple. Because of him, you and your guild have encountered very unfair treatment, and we just want to compensate you for it," Broken Arrow said.
"Is that what you've been doing all along?" Waterdeep asked.
"Yes." Broken Arrow nodded, "Although it's just some skills, and I can't guarantee that you'll be able to win the final victory in the main city battle with these, at least your PK level in the forest has indeed improved a lot. I think you can see that very clearly." Broken Arrow said.
Waterdeep nodded, "That's right, you've been a great help to us, and this help is something that ordinary people can't provide unless it's you."
Broken Arrow just smiled.
"But..." Waterdeep suddenly changed the subject, "Although it's out of good intentions, have you ever thought that maybe others will reject your good intentions?"
"You would reject it?" Broken Arrow was a little puzzled.
"No," Waterdeep said, "But, you don't seem to have asked us at all."
"You wouldn't reject it even if I asked!" Broken Arrow said.
"But at least I have the right to choose. I don't need this kind of imposed will. There are already too many involuntary things in reality. Now it's just a game, and I insist on absolute freedom. I don't need anyone to make decisions for me in anything." Waterdeep said.
"Wow, Waterdeep, you're so profound," Gu Fei said in surprise.
"Of course, I'm a man of substance," Waterdeep replied.
Gu Fei's hand twitched, almost communicating with Waterdeep with body language first.
Broken Arrow fell silent at this time. After a long time, he looked at Waterdeep and said, "Then I'm really sorry. If there's a next time, I'll remember to ask you for your choice. As for this time, I originally came here today to say goodbye to you. I think the help I've given you is about enough."
"Thank you for your help, although you didn't ask me if I needed it..."
"Then, take care in the future," Broken Arrow said.
"I will, as for you... take care now!" Waterdeep nodded and glanced at Gu Fei, "It's your turn."
"What about Hongchen Yixiao?" Gu Fei had never been one to procrastinate. Since it was his turn, he immediately got straight to the point.
"Then you should ask him." Broken Arrow smiled. As someone who had fought against Gu Fei, he was still so calm when facing him again. Broken Arrow was the first person Gu Fei had encountered like this. Even someone like Bai Shi Jing Lun would have a psychological shadow after fighting Gu Fei, because even if they were both kung fu experts, Gu Fei brought these people a shock, and a deeper shock at that. It was a distant and terrifying gap that only those in the know could understand. As for ordinary players who were not experts, they would often think about leveling up, strengthening their equipment, and honing their skills to come back for revenge. But look at Bai Shi Jing Lun, after fighting Gu Fei twice, he no longer mentioned the grievances he had accumulated for many years. This was a deep awareness, a high-level understanding!
Gu Fei's finger suddenly rose. Broken Arrow didn't want to wait until Gu Fei made a move before dodging. He knew that Gu Fei's speed wasn't the most terrifying thing. What was terrifying was the follow-up moves that followed quickly. That kind of rhythm of switching moves often gave people the illusion of "faster." Broken Arrow knew how difficult this was to deal with, and he also knew that Gu Fei wasn't here to chat with him. Seeing Gu Fei stretch out his finger, he immediately made a sideways leap, smoothly lay on the ground, and then rolled over, already flashing behind a tree.
"Awesome!" Waterdeep, who hadn't had time to leave yet, admired Broken Arrow's smooth positioning and sprayed out these two words after a long while.
Gu Fei was also stunned for a long time before saying, "Why are you running? I wasn't even planning to make a move yet..." Gu Fei's finger did move, but what was wrong with moving around and changing poses when he was standing? He had to admire Broken Arrow's sharp eyes, not even a small movement escaped his eyes; at the same time, he had to admire his oversensitivity. He just raised his finger, did he need to dodge so quickly?
Broken Arrow behind the tree didn't make a sound. He wouldn't expose himself so easily. He was the expert in the forest. Making full use of the terrain advantage, Broken Arrow didn't think Gu Fei would be his opponent.
"Come out, I know you're behind there!" Gu Fei strode forward and kicked the tree twice. Broken Arrow behind a certain tree smiled slightly. As expected, although this Qianli Yizui was skilled, he was still a novice in this forest environment. He actually didn't notice at all that he had flashed behind that tree, and immediately used the blind spot blocked by that tree to hide in two different places in a row.
"Still not coming out!" Gu Fei suddenly leaned down and slashed out with his sword, aiming straight for Broken Arrow's lower body behind the tree. As a result, this sword naturally slashed into empty air. There was no one behind the tree at all.
"Huh? Where'd he go..." Gu Fei was surprised, and Waterdeep also moved. He knew that this was what Broken Arrow often emphasized to them: in forest combat, pay attention to blind spots, both your own and the enemy's. It was relatively easy to grasp your own blind spots, but if you wanted to accurately judge the enemy's blind spots, you would need extremely rich experience. You must know that if there was a slight deviation in judgment here, you might be exposed in the process of using blind spots to cover yourself. Even if it's just a finger... that already indicates your position, so what cover is there to speak of?
When Broken Arrow shrank behind the tree, Waterdeep expected that he wouldn't really hide behind that tree. He would definitely use Gu Fei's blind spot to switch to a position that Gu Fei couldn't see. But Waterdeep didn't expect that Broken Arrow would complete the switch without even him noticing. In that instant, Broken Arrow had actually summarized the blind spots of both of them at the same time...
"This Qianli Yizui's undefeated myth... maybe it's really possible that it will be broken by Old Broken in the forest..." Waterdeep suddenly had a faint premonition in his heart.
Gu Fei had already stood up again, holding the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword in his hand. He had no idea where Broken Arrow was hiding. Looking at this dense forest, he suddenly felt that it was so vast.
