Chapter 202 Trapped

The only good news was that although this person's archery was superb, at least the damage wasn't too terrifying. Yu Tian Shen Ming was still alive after taking this arrow.

These experts had simply been in contact with Gu Fei for too long and had developed a habitual way of thinking. Anything that wasn't an "instant kill" was considered non-threatening damage. But how easy was it to achieve an instant kill in this game? Even Gu Fei needed to rotate his Twin Incineration to inflict double damage to instantly kill many players nowadays.

Although Yu Tian Shen Ming was just an Archer with low health, he was still a well-known expert on the rankings, and his equipment was very strong. Especially after making a hefty 250,000 yesterday, he'd snapped up two more top-tier items. Against existences like Gu Fei or Xi Yao Wu, who had equipment that defied the rules, instant kills were simply impossible on him. In reality, the enemy archer's sniping attack had only taken off a quarter of Yu Tian Shen Ming's health.

"The damage isn't high; it only took off a quarter," Yu Tian Shen Ming reassured the others.

"Tch!" Zhan Wu Shang immediately dismissed it. If it only took off a quarter on Yu Tian Shen Ming, then he had even less to fear.

The Young Master Elite Group breathed a sigh of relief, but Jian Nan You and his crew were about to have their eyes pop out. As former members of a PK gang, they had sharp eyes. They had taken in Yu Tian Shen Ming's equipment and had a good estimate of his stats. For such a character to have a quarter of his health wiped out by a single sniping attack, and to still say "the damage isn't high"...

Although they had all been instantly killed by Gu Fei, they hadn't reached that level of thinking. Their judgment of player damage was still based on a normal mindset. In their minds, Gu Fei was a special existence, unlike Jian Gui and the others, who had completely normalized Gu Fei.

"Charge!" Zhan Wu Shang saw that the enemy's damage wasn't abnormal, so he stopped twisting around and charged forward with his chest puffed out. There were only three opponents, but they were more than ten, and all experts. Would it be reasonable to be afraid?

Apart from Gu Fei, who took the lead and charged out, Jian Gui and Hei Shui, the two Thieves, stealthily roamed around. The others maintained a balanced pace and continued to advance steadily, mainly because running too far would take them out of the Priests' healing range. An action like Gu Fei's would definitely be criticized as mindless, lacking teamwork, and not understanding coordination if an average person did it. But this was Gu Fei! Everyone could only be envious. What else could they say?

As the team advanced, Yu Tian Shen Ming and Jiao Shui, the two Archers, also retaliated. Their shots echoed loudly against the giant rocks. Duan Shui Jian and the enemy archer's counterattacks weren't as arrogant as before and were much more restrained.

*Is this all they've got for an ambush?* Everyone was wondering inwardly. Seeing that Gu Fei was already close to the giant rock, they all felt that the battle was about to end. Once Gu Fei used Instant Shift to float up, the top of the giant rock would definitely be littered with corpses.

Just as they were thinking this, Gu Fei, who had been charging forward, suddenly side-stepped to the left. The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword in his hand flashed with fire as he slashed at the empty space to his right. The air to the right blurred, and a figure quickly flashed out, also side-stepping backward to barely avoid Gu Fei's sword. Then, with a flick of his right hand, the Thief revealed that he was also holding a short crossbow. With a "pang," he fired an arrow at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei tilted his head to dodge it. He chased after him to strike, but the Thief sprinted away at top speed, running much faster than Gu Fei, a full-Agility Mage.

"Everyone be careful; it seems they don't just have this many people!" Han Jia Gongzi's expression tightened. Hong Chen Yi Xiao should be well aware of his side's strength. To think that he could take them down with two Archers with good archery skills? That was too naive. Now it seemed that there must be other helpers lying in ambush here.

"Be careful of your surroundings." Seeing that Gu Fei had been ambushed by a stealthy Thief, Jian Nan You quickly reminded everyone. Huo Ran Yi raised his hand and cast Skyfall Firewheel, a common anti-stealth method used in team battles when there were no anti-stealth skills. The left side was shrouded in a blaze of fire, but no Thief appeared. Huo Ran Yi then cast Fiery Tree Thousand Flames to the right, but still, no one was seen. Just as everyone was pondering, they suddenly saw arrows flying in from all directions.

"Crap, an ambush!!!" Jian Nan You shouted. His team had quickly gathered into a group. At this time, he was very worried that the Young Master Elite Group would fight on their own and be instantly wiped out. But when he turned his head to look, he saw that they had gathered even faster. Zhan Wu Shang, You Ge, and Yu Tian Shen Ming stood in a tripod formation, protecting the Priest Han Jia Gongzi in the middle. They were moving closer to Jian Nan You and his team, intending for everyone to form a square formation.

The quality of Jian Nan You's team was naturally beyond reproach. At this time, they quickly accepted the four of them into their ranks. The three Priests and the Mage Huo Ran Yi were protected in the core, while Zhan Wu Shang and Jian Nan You stood at the forefront of the most intense barrage of fire. The Knight quickly cast a defense-boosting blessing on everyone.

Everyone could now see the situation they were in. The level 30 training area they were currently in was well-known in Bai Shi City and was called White Stone Forest.

Bai Shi City was named after its white stones. It was unknown if all the trees had grown in the neighboring Lin Yin City, but the area around Bai Shi City was extremely barren. As far as the eye could see, it was desolate. And in this large, desolate wilderness, there were gray-white stones of all sizes scattered everywhere. The 9527 Stone near the wilderness camp was one of these representative stones.

White Stone Forest was an area where white stones were especially concentrated. The one that Ye Xiao Wu and his two companions were lying on was one of them. Besides this, there were many others around, but they were all different sizes and shapes. And at this time, these guys who had suddenly appeared were using these white stones as cover, launching their attacks in one go after Gu Fei and his group had stepped into their encirclement.

Penetrating the enemy, ambushing. It was a simple tactical trap. Han Jia Gongzi lectured everyone in a very pained voice, "Comrades, look, this is the harm of showing off individual heroism."

"Yes, yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement. If Gu Fei hadn't been so eager to rush over as soon as he was attacked, they might not have been so hastily lured into the trap.

"Everyone, understand. Qian Li hasn't killed anyone in a long time. He's probably lonely," Zhan Wu Shang said.

"Where's Bai Shi Jing Lun?" You Ge asked. He noticed that Bai Shi Jing Lun wasn't in the circle that everyone had gathered in.

"Isn't he over there? Look, another case of heroism." Han Jia Gongzi shook his head repeatedly. Bai Shi Jing Lun obviously didn't have any team awareness either. While everyone was gathering, he continued to charge forward to support Gu Fei. Everyone had reason to believe that if this person's movement speed was comparable to Gu Fei's, he might have been moving forward alongside him all the time.

They were still able to joke around despite being surrounded and attacked because after taking a few arrows, everyone quickly realized that although the enemy's firepower was fierce, their attacks weren't that great. After carefully observing their surroundings, they saw that these guys who were flashing out from behind the white stones or lying on them were all using bows and arrows, but their classes weren't all Archers.

Archers, especially after being promoted to Divine Archers, had significant archery stat bonuses. In addition to their class skills and the requirements for archery-related equipment, the way ordinary classes used bows and arrows was completely different from how Archers used them. The classes of the players ambushing them were diverse, but they were all using bows and arrows. Although it seemed like their archery skills were decent, without the support of their classes, they weren't worth worrying about.

What surprised these guys even more were the faces of these people. They were weathered faces that made Yu Tian Shen Ming exclaim in surprise, "Damn, where did all these uncles come from so early in the morning?"

This exclamation had a theoretical basis. Although anyone could play online games, the main consumer base was still young people. There were already fewer uncles in their thirties and forties, and those in their thirties and forties generally had stable careers. Even if they did play, they would basically have to wait until after work. It was rare to encounter such people early in the morning, but at this time, they encountered a whole bunch of them, which couldn't help but surprise these old-timers.

A powerful ambush, but the ambushed targets were fine, chatting and laughing without a scratch. This made the ambushing uncles quite depressed. Ye Xiao Wu, who was still lying on that large stone, sighed, "Without the support of a class, it's really hard to bring out the power of archery."

The archer next to him said disappointedly, "Even with support, it's not that great. These arrows are too slow."

Ye Xiao Wu was depressed. "We can't exactly create guns in this game, can we?"

"If we really had guns, this ambush would have crippled half of them. We might have already wiped them all out by now," the man said.

"Even like this, it's a good drain. If they don't find a way to break out, they won't last long either," Ye Xiao Wu said.

"Have Lao Lei and Da Lei figured out how to play a Mage yet?" Duan Shui Jian asked.

The archer said dismissively, "Those two taciturn guys aren't that they don't know how to play, it's just that they always feel like Mages have to shout out their incantations, and they're too embarrassed."

"They'll get used to shouting," Duan Shui Jian said.

"Look, isn't that Lao Lei?" The archer pointed in a direction. Duan Shui Jian looked over and saw that there was also someone lying on that small stone. He had originally been playing as an Archer, but the effect of a Mage playing as an Archer was already as weak as could be. This person had obviously finally been unable to endure his weak attacks. He put away his bow and arrow and quietly pulled out a magic staff. He crawled forward a few steps, pointed the staff forward, and mumbled a few words.

A ring of fire spread out in the sky, but these experts had rich gaming experience. From the beginning, they had already figured out the distribution and classes of their opponents. Mages, who possessed ranged fire attacks, had been closely watched all along. This person's actions had been seen in advance, and they had taken precautions. As soon as the ring of fire appeared, everyone moved together, dodging this Skyfall Firewheel.

The Mage missed his attack and was about to launch a second one when a Thief suddenly flashed out from behind him with a sinister smile, raising his dagger to stab.

How could Han Jia Gongzi's team just passively resist without using any tricks?

Standing in the circle and letting them attack wildly was a ruse to attract their attention and firepower. Jian Gui and Hei Shui, the two Thieves who had been stealthed from the beginning, had now been ordered to counter-attack these attackers and create an opening.

For some reason, Hei Shui had developed an inexplicable dislike for Mages, so he chose a Mage as his target. Now that he had finally climbed up this stone, he stabbed the Mage lying on the ground with his dagger.

Who would have thought that the Mage would suddenly roll over at this moment, kick his legs out, and kick Hei Shui into revealing himself? Hei Shui was shocked, but at this time, he was bent over stabbing people with his dagger, his dagger was below him, and his butt was above him. He couldn't pull back in time. He saw the old face in front of him grin at him. He reached out with both hands to grab Hei Shui's arms, raised his right leg, supported it on Hei Shui's lower abdomen, and then pulled forward and kicked...

Mages were weak, but there was no problem for him to perform such a move. Hei Shui was kicked off the large stone by this rabbit-kicking-hawk move, head down, and landed face-first in the mud.

*What the hell is going on?* *Has Qian Li Yi Zui possessed me?* Hei Shui was dazed. He didn't expect that there would be a second Mage who could deal with him so wretchedly.

"What are you spacing out for! Come over here!!!" The team shouted at Hei Shui. He was suddenly revealed outside, all alone, and immediately became a target. He didn't have the reaction speed and skill of Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun. Could he survive if all the arrows were aimed at him?

Hei Shui's reaction was really fast. As soon as he heard the shout, he regained his senses and immediately dashed towards the team, rolling and crawling. But the level of these archers was really solid. Even at this speed, they were still hitting him accurately with their arrows. The only thing he could be thankful for was that most people's damage output wasn't that great. Although Hei Shui's equipment wasn't top-notch, it wasn't ordinary either. In addition, the team came to meet him, and the three Priests worked together, so he wasn't instantly evaporated.

But the experienced members of the team could already see that even like this, Hei Shui might not survive. At this time, the damage he was taking was completely greater than the healing from the three Priests.

Without saying a word, Jian Nan You changed direction and charged out to meet him, and arrows immediately flew toward him. Jian Nan You had higher defense and had a sword and shield to protect himself, so he could last longer than Hei Shui. At this time, Han Jia Gongzi also diverted some of his operations to heal Jian Nan You. His technique was so impressive that Dao Xiang Mu and Lin Mu Sen Sen admired him to the point of worship. Giving him someone to heal exclusively was a waste of his talent. He had to be given several people at once for him to take care of to make the most of his abilities.

Jian Nan You charged out quickly and met Hei Shui, shielding him and finally bringing him back.

"What happened?" Everyone asked him.

"I don't know. It seems like this guy noticed me as soon as I got close," Hei Shui said, depressed.

"These people may not be so easy to deal with." Han Jia Gongzi rarely showed a worried expression. He turned his eyes and pointed in a direction: "Move over there."

"What about Qian Li and Bai Shi?" Everyone asked.

"Do whatever they want." As Han Jia Gongzi spoke, he sent a message to Jian Gui: "Don't rush to attack. These people may not be so simple."

Over here, the Mage's attack, Hei Shui's appearance, and then being kicked, and being met were all things that happened in an instant. Gu Fei was dodging the incoming arrows while charging, so he didn't notice what happened over there. He just saw that the large stone was right in front of him, and he was about to use Instant Shift to fly up when the sky above him suddenly darkened. A figure was flying down like a big bird, and the raised foot was chopping down at Gu Fei.

"Flying Swallow Slash, don't take it head-on!" Bai Shi Jing Lun, who was behind him, saw it clearly and shouted. Gu Fei's Kung Fu skills were naturally superb, but in the game, there were some settings that would affect the outcome of the fight, so they had to be taken into consideration. For example, the Flying Swallow Slash skill had a special stat bonus. This bonus depended on the height the skill user jumped from. The higher the height, the stronger the judgment and damage of this skill would be. Bai Shi Jing Lun was afraid that Gu Fei didn't know the characteristics of this skill. At this time, this person was flying down from a giant rock several meters high with a Flying Swallow Slash, and its power was extremely great. Although Gu Fei's spell damage was fierce, the skills of the Mage class were extremely weak from a judgment point of view. If he directly resisted, and failed to instantly kill the other party, this Flying Swallow Slash would definitely flatten Gu Fei.

If the skill didn't have this characteristic, such an attack from above with no support under his feet was a taboo in combat. Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun's insight was such that they had already seen from these guys' figures that they were definitely not ordinary players, and it was impossible for them not to understand this principle. The fact that they were still choosing such an attack method at this time was obviously because they were confident.

Gu Fei listened to Bai Shi Jing Lun's advice and didn't meet the attack head-on. But seeing the other party relying on game skills to be so arrogant, Gu Fei wasn't willing to show weakness. He raised his hand and pointed, and the guy who was flying down in the air was immediately stunned. Gu Fei on the ground had disappeared!

"Behind!!!" Duan Shui Jian on the large stone quickly reminded him. Gu Fei had actually used an Instant Shift to float directly into the air.

Duan Shui Jian's mouth was fast enough, but it was still not as fast as Gu Fei's sword. At this time, a Twin Incineration was slashed out in the air, and the other party immediately experienced the harm of having "no support under his feet." In this empty space, no matter how good your abdominal muscles were, no matter how fiercely you twisted, the space and range of movement were still extremely limited. It was impossible to dodge Gu Fei's deliberately planned sword strike.

The guy who was hit by the sword wasn't instantly killed. After landing on the ground, he rolled away quickly and avoided Gu Fei's attack range. After the first exchange, he had suffered a great loss, but this person didn't panic at all. Furthermore, there was no surprise on his face, which was extremely rare among players. When ordinary people fought Gu Fei and were hit by Gu Fei's attacks, even if they weren't dead, the significant drop in their health was enough to turn their faces green or white. But this person was expressionless, as if he hadn't noticed the drop in his health after this sword strike.

Gu Fei didn't hesitate. After landing, he immediately chased after the direction the other party had rolled away in and struck out with his sword. Two Twin Incinerations and one Instant Shift. Gu Fei's lackluster mana disadvantage was once again revealed. He didn't even bother to use magic for this sword strike. When the other party saw Gu Fei's sword coming, he didn't panic either. He twisted his body and stepped aside, but he didn't know that this level of dodging was completely within Gu Fei's calculations. He changed his move and chased after him, slashing over.

The unchanging look on this person's face finally changed. He had realized that the opponent in front of him was extremely skilled, but it wasn't difficult for him to dodge this sword strike again. He turned around again and avoided the sword. This time, he didn't want to be passive. At the same time that he twisted his body, he swept a whip kick directly at Gu Fei.

This kick had a large range and was aimed directly at Gu Fei's head. The imposing momentum of thunder could be imagined that if it were real, it would be enough to knock someone unconscious.

Gu Fei took a step diagonally, and his body flashed past this attack. The sword in his hand turned and slashed again.

If it were reality, Gu Fei would never have used such a counterattack, but in the game, there seemed to be no need to care so much. Gu Fei thought, the incantation for Twin Incineration had already been chanted. Bai Shi Jing Lun, who was behind him, was dumbfounded when he saw this: "Wow, damn, it really is a game. He's even using this move. It's too obscene!"

A flame was slashed out by the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, aimed directly at the other party's crotch, which was exposed high in the air after the whip kick...
