A circle of people tensely watched the changes in their surroundings. The air seemed to be filled with the oppressive aura of the super Boss. Everyone stopped talking, and the surroundings became silent. The only sound...

"Crunch, crunch..."

Everyone couldn't help but look back in disdain at Gu Fei in the center of the circle. He was seriously eating an apple.

"Can you be a little quieter while eating an apple?" Han Jia Gongzi despised him.

"It's not that I'm loud, it's just too quiet," Gu Fei said.

Everything in the game was simulated, and apples were naturally simulated to be the best flavor. Sweet and crisp, it was impossible to take a bite without making a sound. But now it was too quiet, and even the sound of Gu Fei swallowing the bitten apple and grinding it in his mouth was so clear.

Everyone couldn't stand it anymore.

Yu Tian Shen Ming took the lead and took out an apple, loudly chomping on it. Next was Zhan Wu Shang, who ate even louder than the previous two, perhaps because the warrior had greater strength.

Han Jia Gongzi took out a wine bottle. Jian Gui still maintained his silent style, taking a piece of bread and quietly stuffing it into his mouth.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?!" You Ge panicked. With a great enemy in front of them, these people were too unserious. Finally, he glanced at Bai Shi Jing Lun beside him, who at least wasn't eating anything. You Ge felt a little comforted.

But only two seconds later, Bai Shi Jing Lun had already pulled out a string of grilled fish from his pocket... Gu Fei had recommended it to him when they disembarked in Linshui City, and he only managed to get it before leaving. If it weren't for buying these two strings of fish, he wouldn't have been short of money to pay for the boat fare. The reason he was taking it out so slowly was just because he wasn't as skilled at taking things out of his pocket as those people were.

You Ge envied Gu Fei. He also wanted to stand in the middle of the circle of people; it really looked safe there.

But just five seconds after this thought arose, You Ge began to rejoice that he wasn't in the middle of the circle.

As Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted, "Here it comes!" everyone immediately threw away the things in their hands and turned towards the direction Yu Tian Shen Ming was facing. Except for Bai Shi Jing Lun, who put the grilled fish back into his pocket, but couldn't get his hand out for a long time.

"It's coming!!" You Ge anxiously reminded him.

"Just a moment, I haven't found the slot to put the food in yet..." Bai Shi Jing Lun said.

With a great enemy in front of them, everyone glanced sideways. This person's pocket slots were divided into zones? He really had character.

The Mist Shadow Assassin had already emerged from the mist and appeared before everyone. But no one rushed to attack; they had decided to see what the Boss would do when the target of its hatred was completely protected, whether there were any exploitable flaws, or, perhaps, program loopholes.

They soon saw it.

When the Mist Shadow Assassin rushed to about five meters away from the crowd, he suddenly leaped up and went straight over their heads. Then there was a clear pause in mid-air. The Mist Shadow Assassin was upside down, holding daggers in both hands, suspended in the air.

"Damn it! Dodge!!" Someone shouted. The circle of people who had been closely united around Gu Fei scattered with a "whoosh." Almost at the same time, the Mist Shadow Assassin swooped down from the air, even faster than when he was on the ground.

However, that pause when he ascended into the air had given Gu Fei plenty of preparation time. This was the problem with the rhythm of npC's attacks that Gu Fei had always despised. The designers might have just thought that such a sudden stop and advance had rhythm, stirred people's emotions, and was cool. But for a fighting expert like Gu Fei, the Mist Shadow Assassin's characteristic was obviously speed. If the rhythm was sped up, no one could stop him. But as a result, there was such a flaw in his movements. It was unknown whether the designers didn't understand or deliberately left a loophole.

In any case, the Mist Shadow Assassin was now swooping straight down. Those guys had been protecting Gu Fei at first, but now they had all dodged, leaving the Mist Shadow Assassin to face Gu Fei alone, while they waited for an opportunity to attack.

Gu Fei pushed his sword forward with both hands, going for his old method to block the Mist Shadow Assassin's attack. Unexpectedly, this time the impact was greater than any previous time. Gu Fei had thought that since he was pushing upwards from below, supported by the ground, he wouldn't be sent flying again, but the force pressing down was overwhelming. His outstretched arms bent, and the sword and dagger rushed straight towards his head.

Gu Fei quickly bent his legs and leaned back, actively flipping over to the ground. This increased the area of force, reduced the pressure, and resisted the Mist Shadow Assassin's assassination from the sky.

After falling to the ground, Gu Fei managed to withstand the blow, but it wasn't easy. At this time, his whole body was suppressed by the attack, feeling like it was about to spasm. Gu Fei's mouth trembled uncontrollably, and the apple he was holding in his mouth immediately fell out.

As a result, the fallen apple was like a signal. The scattered guys suddenly surrounded and attacked at this time. Knives, swords, daggers, and fists all smashed onto the Mist Shadow Assassin's body.

Everyone's eyes turned red. It was actually blood mist spreading out from the impact of bodies, and what surprised everyone even more was that this blood mist was spraying from Gu Fei's body. The Mist Shadow Assassin didn't even need to land at this time; he flashed past everyone's heads and flew into the mist.

Everyone couldn't care less about the Boss. They just looked at Gu Fei lying at their feet. From his face, they could see specks of blood like he had been pricked by needles. Han Jia Gongzi healed him while asking, "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Gu Fei got up from the ground.

Everyone was surprised. He was injured so strangely and terrifyingly, but he seemed to be fine.

Han Jia Gongzi looked at the spots on his face: "The blood can spurt out like this; you're bearing the force very evenly!"

The Mist Shadow Assassin's downward strike was too strong. Although Gu Fei had managed to block it, the force alone had already caused him damage this time. Gu Fei's health had begun to drop when he was pressed down by the Mist Shadow Assassin. If it weren't for Han Jia Gongzi's two timely healing spells, he would have died now.

This strike didn't directly attack the body, but the pressure attacked the whole body, resulting in a strange scene of blood bursting out all over without obvious wounds. Even now, everyone didn't believe that Gu Fei was unharmed by this strike.

"I'm really fine," Gu Fei said, wiping a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Wow, you're spitting blood and still saying you're fine," everyone exclaimed.

"It's just a game! That's just a sign of decreasing health; there's nothing to be surprised about," Gu Fei said.

"Damn it! Who asked you to lecture us!" The masters all despised this newbie to the game.

"But, let's not use this kind of luring method again!" Gu Fei said. On the surface, he was fine, but this strike had caused him a lot of pain, and he was too embarrassed to express it.

Under this strike, his injuries could be said to be all over his body. The wounds were faint and didn't hurt much, and with the weakening of the simulation system, the pain disappeared. What remained on his body was actually itching. Every place where blood had just seeped out felt like tiny worms were crawling. Gu Fei used super-strong endurance to avoid scratching in front of everyone. Because he knew that as long as he was healed and his health was restored, the symptoms would definitely disappear. So he endured again and again, and calmly talked to everyone.

But Gu Fei didn't want to suffer this kind of sin again, so he firmly opposed tempting the Mist Shadow Assassin to make this kind of straight up and down impact again.

"Scatter, scatter, don't surround me!!" Gu Fei drove everyone away.

"Then you continue to attract the Boss's attack, and we'll seize the opportunity to attack from the side," Han Jia Gongzi said. This was their initial plan.

"Is this really okay?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.

"Try a few more rounds, and I can confirm my deduction," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"What?"

Han Jia Gongzi didn't speak, but nodded with You Ge.

"Here it comes!!!" Before Yu Tian Shen Ming could continue to ask, Jian Gui suddenly shouted. Although everyone didn't surround Gu Fei in a 360-degree circle this time, the seemingly random positions were actually monitoring a direction each. At this time, Jian Gui, who was facing away from Gu Fei, was the first to see the Mist Shadow Assassin emerge from the mist. The target was naturally the one facing away from him: Gu Fei.

"It's always like this, isn't it annoying!" Gu Fei was now completely familiar with the Mist Shadow Assassin's attack methods and routines. Obviously, the system was also unable to automatically generate any new moves or skills, and just used those few tricks back and forth. Gu Fei had long been clear about it. He held his sword across his chest and leaned back, the sword and dagger colliding.

This collision would always cause the Mist Shadow Assassin's figure to pause a little. This was the opportunity that everyone around was waiting for. They would attack first, regardless of whether they could hit or not.

The pause after the collision was too short. Gu Fei had already been sent flying by this strike, and the Mist Shadow Assassin immediately followed up. Everyone's attacks missed, including Bai Shi Jing Lun's fist. This time, he was really a bit far away and didn't even have time to finish the journey. Yu Tian Shen Ming's Tracking Arrow did capture the Mist Shadow Assassin, but he soon sadly discovered that the Tracking Arrow wasn't as fast as the Boss.

Just like when Gu Fei and the Mist Shadow Assassin were fighting alone, the positions of the two quickly shifted with this collision. Everyone quickly rushed towards the direction where the two disappeared. When they arrived, the Mist Shadow Assassin was gone, and they saw Gu Fei getting up from the ground again, smiling at everyone and saying, "It won't be like this every time."

The Mist Shadow Assassin had several attack methods, some of which didn't offer any opportunities, like just now. At other times, there would be opportunities. Everyone was waiting for this real opportunity.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded. The harder the Boss was to deal with, the higher the value. Everyone patiently waited for the opportunity to appear.

At the same time, the self-disciplined game worker Ye Xiao Wu had nothing to do and ran to the monitoring team to take a stroll, but saw a bunch of people surrounding a certain screen. When they saw him coming in, they immediately greeted him: "Manager Ye, come and see, someone is killing a level 60 Boss."

"Level 60 Boss? Which one?" Ye Xiao Wu became excited when he heard this.

"Mist Shadow Assassin!"

"Wow, how many people are killing it? How many have died?" Ye Xiao Wu rushed over to grab a spot.

"It's been a while, and it seems like no one has died yet," the colleague from the monitoring team replied.

"How is that possible!" Ye Xiao Wu was shocked.
