Hu Die Lan
Chapter 465 Descending from the Sky
As Gu Fei had expected, when the eight of them stood on the wall together, the sky was turning white, and dawn had arrived in the game. Gu Fei casually grabbed a rope and scrambled up the wall in a few quick movements, quickly ending the eight players’ excitement of successfully scaling the wall and making them feel deeply ashamed.
Although the nights in the game weren’t completely dark, the change in the sky at sunrise was still very significant. The beautiful scenery of the sunrise wasn’t diminished by the fact that the nights in the game weren’t completely dark. However, all of this didn’t exist in Xiawu City. Gu Fei only watched as the fog in front of him became clearer and clearer.
Players who could continue to live in Xiawu City must be extremely patient. Because of this fog, they missed out on a lot of things. While Gu Fei was thinking, he put away his grappling hook.
“Is there anyone down there?” Gu Fei turned around and saw that the eight players were cautiously poking their heads out to observe the scene in the backyard of the government affairs hall, so he asked casually.
“A lot of people…” the eight players said.
“Really?” Gu Fei quickly came over to peek and took out his telescope to observe from a closer distance.
“They’re players… Misty Flower is indeed prepared.” Gu Fei confirmed that these people who weren’t there yesterday had appeared today and sighed, saying to the eight players.
The eight players looked at the telescope in Gu Fei’s hand with surprise.
“Did you make that yourself too?” Number Two asked cautiously.
“No, I borrowed it.” Gu Fei quickly said. He suspected that the eight players were going to regard him as an omnipotent creator.
“There’s also bad news,” Gu Fei said. “When I poked my head out just now, it seems I was seen.”
Gu Fei was so frank that the eight players felt quite ashamed. After looking at each other, they all suddenly realized and nodded together, saying, “Actually, we were too…”
The Misty Flower players knew that their opponents would climb over the wall, so they were naturally paying close attention to the top. None of Gu Fei and the others escaped their notice. But after those eight guys were discovered, they all chose to remain silent, perhaps afraid of being blamed for their mistakes, so in the end, none of them escaped being discovered. Until the last moment when Gu Fei frankly admitted that he had been discovered, the eight players, with guilty consciences, looked at each other and immediately realized that they were all the same.
What a terrible team, Gu Fei thought to himself. Such a simple detail could explain a lot of problems. These eight players not only had no trust in each other, but also no sense of responsibility. They only followed the team to get what they needed for themselves. Whether they should bear some responsibility or consider the situation for others, these guys didn’t seem to have thought about it at all!
“What do we do now?” the eight players looked at each other.
“What would he do? Will he come again?” Before arranging the defense of the backyard, Liu Feng San Tan and his accomplices had also raised this question.
“It’s a wall more than ten meters high. How did he climb over it?” someone asked.
“He naturally has his own means.” Liu Feng San Tan said, “We just need to be prepared and make him give up.” This was actually Liu Feng San Tan’s guiding principle for carrying out their mission all along, and it was also an important reason why he had easily let Gu Fei leave last night: he didn’t want to engage in PK with players in this courtyard. He was worried that this would become a basis for Jordaeno to deduct their completion rate. Therefore, he tried his best to arrange their manpower in the open, hoping that players with bad intentions would see that they were prepared and give up early.
“That’s best.” The others nodded, they had always agreed with Liu Feng San Tan’s policy.
“Call some brothers to guard the backyard! It’s the final moment, let’s all work a little harder.” Liu Feng San Tan said. Now they couldn’t find anything to improve their mission completion rate, but every day of peace would slightly increase the mission completion rate. Now Misty Flower had no other way but to rely on this to drag on until the mission completion rate reached 100%.
“Just like this, I’m afraid it won’t make him give up…” Piao Liu finally couldn’t help but speak. Although Liu Feng San Tan had also invited him to participate in the discussion among the core members of the guild, Piao Liu knew his limits. The players in this guild didn’t blindly admire him, a master of the Five Little Strongs level. Although he was sitting at this table now, he didn’t have the same status as the others. His words carried little weight, so Piao Liu didn’t bother to say much. He just listened to these people’s discussions, but in the end, he couldn’t help but speak. In his opinion, the plans these people were proposing now posed no threat to Gu Fei at all. They all underestimated Gu Fei’s strength too much.
“What do you think, Brother Piao Liu?” Liu Feng San Tan said.
“Nothing. Just don’t underestimate him, he’s stronger than you think.” Piao Liu said.
Piao Liu knew that some people would not like to hear these words. Sure enough, half of the people present curled their lips. Helpless, Piao Liu had no choice but to shut up.
Fortunately, Guild Leader Liu Feng San Tan didn’t completely ignore Piao Liu’s words and finally said to everyone, “Then let’s send more people over there?”
Send more people? How much more? More than the PK value he had accumulated at once? Piao Liu smiled wryly, but in the end, he didn’t open his mouth again.
The defense of the backyard was handed over to one of the core members. After this person made the arrangements, he introduced his deployment to everyone triumphantly, “I’m really looking forward to seeing what that guy will do in the face of such a defense.”
“Kill in…” This time, Piao Liu, who was wisely sitting in the corner, coldly threw out a sentence.
“Kill in!!” When the eight players asked what to do, Gu Fei answered exactly that.
“Force our way in?” The eight players were surprised. Fighting Misty Flower head-on was too reckless. There were only nine of them in total.
“Their defense is only aimed at me. You eight are an unexpected force, enough to catch them off guard,” Gu Fei said.
“Catch them off guard? There seem to be almost twenty people down there, right? There are only nine of us in total!” Number Two said, and immediately reacted after speaking, looking at Gu Fei in surprise, “They’ve used more than twenty people to deal with you alone? What exactly are you?”
The other players also realized this and looked at Gu Fei. Gu Fei spread his hands and said, “Aren’t we not supposed to ask about each other’s backgrounds?”
“The opportunity is only right now!” Gu Fei continued, “You were all discovered when you poked your heads out just now. Now the other party knows that the opponent is not just me. The weak defense of twenty-odd people won’t exist except right now.”
“A defense of twenty-odd people… is weak?” Number Two was surprised again.
“Decide!” Gu Fei looked at the eight players.
The eight players looked at each other and finally felt that Gu Fei’s analysis made sense, so they nodded together.
Gu Fei quickly took out his grappling hook and hooked it on the wall, saying to the eight players, “I’ll go down first to attract their attention, and then you slide down. Number Three and Number Seven, you two find what you need in the yard as quickly as possible. Number Eight, you find a place to hide in the backyard, and when it’s chaotic, find a chance to sneak to the front yard to find your mission NPC. You have movement speed, so it shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
Number Three, Number Seven, and Number Eight all nodded.
“The others, do you see that door in front of you? If you have permission, you can enter there. If you don’t have permission, immediately return to the rope and retreat. We’ll make other plans,” Gu Fei said.
“Okay!” Everyone nodded.
“Then seize the time and act immediately! I’ll go down first!” As soon as Gu Fei finished speaking, he threw the rope over the wall with a flick of his hand, grabbed it with one hand, and jumped out. With a “whoosh,” he slid down.
“He’s here!!!” Alarms immediately sounded in the yard. The location Gu Fei had chosen was the closest to the small door behind the building, reducing the time it would take for everyone to rush toward the government affairs hall. It also happened to be where half of the other party was carefully defending, which was exactly what Gu Fei wanted: all gathered together, so he could solve them all at once.
The eight players on the wall heard the shouts below and poked their heads out together. They saw Gu Fei grab the rope and slide down a section, then suddenly push off the wall and leap into the air. A sword had already flashed in his hand in mid-air. As he fell, the sword light danced, and flames flew like swimming dragons, surrounding him.
“This…” Someone among the eight players seemed to have remembered something.
“What are you hesitating for? Get down quickly!!” Three players had already grabbed the erected ropes, flipped over the wall, and slid down.
Screams erupted at the base of the wall. Gu Fei’s descent from the sky was a real head-on blow, and the circle of Double Flame Slash all hit the other party’s heads. Four people were instantly killed on the spot, and the other three who were hit by the sword turned pale and their HP bars were a bloody red, retreating in panic.
Gu Fei spun and landed steadily, took a step, turned around, and a 900-degree Double Flame Slash. The players surrounding him seemed to have agreed to be killed by him.
This spin left no one alive. 900 degrees, two and a half rotations, no one with strong vitality could withstand two of Gu Fei’s Double Flame Slashes. Forcibly dividing a skill into two segments and smashing it onto others, Gu Fei’s skill subverted the game’s settings.
After displaying his divine might, the Misty Flower players began to feel uneasy, and their footsteps to rush up and surround him were no longer as firm. The first three players who slid down from the wall had arrived. There were mages and archers, each using their skills to strike at the opponent.
“The ones above, hurry!!” Gu Fei shouted and then took the initiative to attack, rushing straight to the back door of the building. When he flew down, several Misty Flower players immediately contracted toward the front of the door, obviously a pre-arranged deployment. Gu Fei had expected this and had already saved mana for these people.
Three more players slid down from the wall, namely Number Three, Number Seven, and Number Eight. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, Number Three and Number Seven began frantically searching in the backyard. Number Eight had already seen a bush in the yard and rushed over, diving into the bushes.
The last two players began to climb down the rope, and the two ends of the government affairs hall were already noisy. Misty Flower’s reinforcements had arrived quickly. As early as when the nine players showed their heads one by one, the guards who discovered nine heads had reported the situation to the guild leader. Liu Feng San Tan was surprised that there were so many opponents and quickly dispatched manpower here.
