Chapter 132 The Wrong Map

Gu Fei charged out with his sword. The alley they spoke of, very close to the Priest Academy's main entrance, was actually behind them, on Right Street. It circled around the back of the Priest Academy, leading to Left Street. The main city streets in the game were all interconnected like this, with many variations. Looking at Brother Yu's map, if it weren't for the annotations, it would basically look like a spider web.

The group ignored the attacks from Broken Water Arrow and his four companions, watching Gu Fei leave. Then, they turned around. Han Jia公子 quickly took the telescope, raising it to observe the five players' reactions. From their position, they could see Gu Fei's actions, and having planned their strategy for so long, they had no reason not to know that Left Street and Right Street were connected in this way. What would their reaction be upon seeing Gu Fei enter this street?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. The five continued to fire their arrows methodically. Knowing that they posed little threat to the target, they persistently harassed them. Han Jia公子 seemed lost in thought, not focusing on his healing duties, relying entirely on Dao Xiang Mu and Lin Mu 森森 to keep everyone patched up.

The group appeared to disregard the attacks from Broken Water Arrow and the others, but as the saying goes, this was merely strategic disdain for the enemy. In reality, everyone was getting hit by arrows frequently, and the priests were working very hard. With Han Jia公子 not paying attention, Dao Xiang Mu and Lin Mu 森森 were under a lot of pressure. They muttered to themselves, wasn't the agreement to immediately go to the resurrection point at times like these? But seeing that no one spoke up, they were too embarrassed to say anything. The two hid behind Jian Nan You, constantly healing those who were hit by arrows.

However, there was one person who remained relaxed at this time—Gu Xian.

This guy had long ago moved a rock to sit in the safe zone. While everyone else faced the arrows outside, he crossed his legs inside and asked Ye Xiao Wu, "Your people are here. Aren't you going out yet?"

Ye Xiao Wu and his two companions remained silent. They had also received a notification, vaguely aware of Broken Water Arrow's plan. They were seeking cooperation, and had no mind to pay attention to Gu Xian's annoying provocations.

Gu Xian saw that the three weren't talking and didn't seem upset. It was as if sitting on this rock, leaning against the wall, was happiness enough for him. He hummed a little tune, patiently waiting.

The Old Soldiers, except for the five archers and two mages, were still nowhere to be seen. Han Jia公子 and the others grew increasingly suspicious, constantly keeping in contact with Gu Fei, probing for information about his situation.

Gu Fei went straight ahead after entering the alley. This was a narrow alley, much narrower than the Left and Right Streets outside. Five people could barely walk side by side. Such a small, out-of-the-way place wouldn't attract any players to set up stalls. Moreover, this alley circled from West Street to East Street, a pointless detour. Besides enriching the main city's roads, it was hard to imagine any other use. At this moment, there wasn't even a single player walking on this road. This saved Gu Fei some trouble. He could see all the way to the end. In any case, there was nothing going on in this alley. As for the branching alleys that might appear along the way... he would take a look when he passed them.

"Any news?"

"Nothing."

"Any news?"

"Nothing!"

"Any news?"

"Nothing!!"

Han Jia公子 and the others suddenly began to repeatedly ask for news. Gu Fei always gave the same reply. Finally, they grew impatient. "Why is there nothing?"

"Damn it, nothing is nothing. Do you want me to make something up for you?" Gu Fei said helplessly.

"Where are you? Are you almost out of Left Street?"

"Not even close!" Gu Fei said.

"Really? Are you running at full speed?" Han Jia公子 asked.

"Always at full speed," Gu Fei said.

Then Han Jia公子 looked at Brother Yu's map and said, "This map isn't accurate!"

Arithmetic was also one of Brother Yu's strengths. This map even had a scale, making it easy to calculate the distance of this detour alley. Gu Fei's attributes were known, and his speed was known. Using the relationship between speed, distance, and time, it could be determined that if Gu Fei was running at full speed, he should be approaching the exit of Left Street by now.

But the fact from Gu Fei's mouth was that he was still far from seeing the exit. The map was clearly wrong.

"Damn it, a counterfeit!!" Brother Yu said indignantly. If he hadn't done such a precise calculation, he wouldn't have known that the map was actually wrong.

"What are your current coordinates?" Han Jia公子 asked Gu Fei again.

After Gu Fei reported them, Han Jia公子 roughly located them on the map... According to Brother Yu's map, Gu Fei was inside a wall, not on the street.

Brother Yu was very ashamed, saying sheepishly, "I... I haven't really studied the accuracy of this map."

Han Jia公子 frowned, "It seems that there's only one version of the map for each city in the game, right? There aren't any others, are there?"

Brother Yu nodded, "I've paid special attention to this issue. Indeed, I've never seen two versions of the map in the same main city. After the original creator draws it, others copy and sell it. Some cities don't even have one version. For example, Mist City. When I went there last time, I wanted to collect a map, but the city didn't have one."

"These maps are drawn by players. Inevitably, there will be some deviations. We need to verify them to find the problems. But what if it's them?" Han Jia公子 suddenly raised this question.

"Are you talking about Broken Water Arrow and his group?" Brother Yu said, suddenly startled. He subconsciously glanced back at the Priest Academy. Although he didn't see that person, he had already thought of his understanding of the game, which was even greater than his own.

"That guy, perhaps he can see the inaccuracies of the map at a glance," Han Jia公子 said.

"Possibly..." Brother Yu said.

"Or perhaps, he simply has the main city map from the game company. Although the system doesn't provide it, it's impossible for them not to have it internally..." Han Jia公子 said.

"So the map that Broken Water Arrow and his group have must not be wrong," Brother Yu said.

"But they know that if we have a map, it must be wrong," Han Jia公子 further analyzed.

"This..." Everyone was stunned, pondering this sentence. The Old Soldiers had the correct map, while their map was wrong. At the same time, the Old Soldiers also knew that their map was wrong, so they also knew what kind of map they were using to command and arrange things.

In other words, seeing Gu Fei enter Left Street, the Old Soldiers had the correct guidance as to where he would end up.

But as for where the two mages who entered Right Street would go, Han Jia公子's guidance based on the map in their hands might not be accurate.

Now it just seemed like there were differences in the length of the alleys, but who could guarantee that this road wasn't drawn completely wrong?

Gu Fei had been running for so long, but he had vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although he didn't have a map in his hand, he had remembered the direction of the alley after looking at Brother Yu's map twice. But at this time, he felt that the direction he was walking in seemed to be getting more and more off. If he continued in this direction, it seemed impossible that he would appear on Left Street.

Could it be that he had taken the wrong path? Gu Fei was also a little worried because there were more forks in the road after entering this alley than he had grasped from looking at the map. Gu Fei didn't dare to turn around randomly. He stubbornly walked to the end, and as a result, he was in the current situation.

"The map is wrong?" Gu Fei also had this thought in his mind. He looked at his current coordinates, feeling that he needed to reassess his route. Immediately, he used Instant Movement, suddenly teleporting more than five meters into the air.

The surrounding houses were only two meters high. Gu Fei's Instant Movement was higher than the rooftops. He did this on purpose, wanting to have a higher line of sight for a brief moment.

In the high altitude of more than five meters, Gu Fei's figure flickered and paused slightly before beginning to fall. He seized the time to quickly look around. In that instant, he caught sight of several agile figures running in a certain direction.

"Is it them?" Just as this thought flashed through Gu Fei's mind, he didn't have time to look any further. His body had already sunk down, landing on the roof. From this height of more than two meters, he could no longer see the situation in that direction.

The game was full of running players. It would be too rash to conclude that they were the Old Soldiers. Gu Fei looked around and saw a taller building a few meters away. Immediately, he moved over there.

By the time Gu Fei reached the building, the cooldown on his Instant Movement hadn't ended. So he took out his flying hook and threw it directly up. After it firmly hooked on, he used his hands and feet to climb up quickly. He hurriedly looked in the direction he had seen the figures before, but there was no one to be seen.

The view from this building was much better. Gu Fei looked down at the alley he had come from, winding and twisting. The final direction... was submerged in a cluster of houses. He still couldn't tell where it led, but it was indeed getting farther and farther away from Right Street of the Priest Academy. If he could still circle back, it would really be quite tortuous.

At this time, Han Jia公子 and the others over there had just asked Gu Fei for his coordinates and studied the map, realizing that the map was wrong. So they quickly asked Gu Fei about the situation.

"The road ahead is very winding," Gu Fei said, pretending to be profound. Han Jia公子's response was much more straightforward: "The map is wrong."

"Oh, you guys know too?" Gu Fei asked in surprise.

"Where are you now?" Han Jia公子 asked.

"Didn't you just ask me for my coordinates?" Gu Fei said.

"The key now is not the error in the map, but the fact that the other party knows about the error in our map. They are likely using this to play tricks with us, tricking you into circling in that alley to waste time," Han Jia公子 said.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain!" Gu Fei said.

"Can you be a little more humble!!" A chorus of protests came from the channel.

"I'll be right back. You guys hold on!" Gu Fei said.

"Get lost!!" A wave of curses followed. Although they had their suspicions, they still didn't see any unusual movements from the other side. Broken Water Arrow and his group were still playing with their arrows. What would their next move be?

"Wait, I have a discovery!!" Gu Fei suddenly sent a message, and at this moment, he had already leaped down from the building he was on. Just as he glanced around, Gu Fei saw several more running figures, one after another, leaping up by bracing themselves against the walls between the houses, and then flying over. Each person's movements had the same rhythm, forming an overall stable pace. If the fleeting glimpse before could be regarded as players running wildly, the strong sense of rhythm of the group in front of him could very well explain the problem. This kind of discipline and coordination must be that group of Old Soldiers.

Gu Fei landed on the rooftop and ran towards that direction. The houses here were connected, some high, some low, and sometimes he had to walk on single walls. In short, it was very difficult to walk. Gu Fei didn't usually practice kung fu or this kind of thing, so he was stumbling along. His eyes were fixed on that direction, and he saw the other party's figures appear again, still at the same spot, suddenly rising and falling one by one. But just from these two times, Gu Fei could see that the distance between them was widening. Gu Fei estimated that they were developing roads in places where there were no roads, just like him, but they were much more professional than Gu Fei. They looked like they knew qinggong (light body technique).

Qinggong, this very mysterious thing in novels, actually didn't exist. The heroes with qinggong could walk on walls without disturbing a speck of dust. Gu Fei, on the other hand, was climbing over eaves and walls, often using his hands. Dust? What's the point of disturbing that? Gu Fei would just kick down bricks and tiles, often disturbing passersby. If Chu Liuxiang had his style, he would have been arrested one hundred and eighty times. How would he have the chance to open a yacht and flirt with beautiful women?

"What's the situation? What's the situation?" Han Jia公子 and the others had finally waited for Gu Fei to suddenly say he had clues, but after asking repeatedly, there was no sound. Gu Fei was focused on staring at the people, and the road was really difficult to walk, so he couldn't bother to reply. But after chasing for a while and finding that he only had agility, and couldn't really catch up with the other party on this road, he stopped to reply briefly: "I saw them. I'm chasing."

"Isn't this a trap?" Brother Yu asked suspiciously.

"Doesn't seem like it. They seem to be on their way," Gu Fei said.

"How many people?"

"Didn't count clearly, a string of..." Gu Fei used the measure word "string" to describe the beauty of the Old Soldiers' skillful roof hopping. Gu Fei was doing the same thing, so he knew how difficult it was.

"Location," Han Jia公子 asked.

Gu Fei reported the coordinates, then smiled and said, "What are you doing with the location? The map is wrong anyway."

"What is their direction of advance?" Han Jia公子 asked again.

"Southeast direction," Gu Fei said.

Gu Fei's coordinates extended in the southeast direction... Han Jia公子 calculated in his mind, then suddenly glanced at their current coordinates, startled, "Priest Academy... has a back door???"

"No, right?" Everyone asked in surprise. Although they were in different main cities, the styles of some major buildings were roughly the same. None of the main cities they were familiar with had a safe zone with a back door. Could it be that White Stone City was so different?

The crowd rushed back to the front gate of the Priest Academy and looked inside. The first thing they saw was Gu Xian sitting on a large rock by the gate like a gatekeeper, dozing off. Then they noticed Ye Xiao Wu and his two companions. These three guys had been ignored for a long time, but at this time, they were all standing with their backs to the front gate, raising their heads and looking at the tall building facing the gate.

This building was the proper Priest Academy... Or, if the Priest Academy was understood as a school, this tall building would be the main teaching building of the school. This building wasn't a church. Except for the twelve thick white stone pillars, it was just an ordinary slab building facing north and south. There weren't many windows, and the lighting and ventilation were probably not good. At first glance, the living comfort was not very good, but Ye Xiao Wu and his two companions were looking at this broken building as if they were entranced.

Han Jia公子's heart shook, "They don't want to jump over from here, do they?"

"Is that even possible?" Everyone was confused. They had never had such a crazy idea.

As a result, the Old Soldiers had already given them the best interpretation. Suddenly, several heads appeared on the top of the Academy building. Then a long rope was hung down to the ground. The Old Soldiers grabbed the rope and slid down without saying a word, five at a time!

Not only Han Jia公子 and the others, but all the players in the Priest Academy were stunned. There was actually such a way to do it!

Everyone often saw this scene in Hong Kong movies. The people who often played like this were called the Flying Tigers. They often flew in aggressively to strike the remaining bandits after the protagonist had settled the situation, and then put the male and female protagonists on ambulances...

However, because of the game's limitations, the Old Soldiers had simple equipment and didn't have such a flying momentum. They just grabbed the rope and slid to the bottom. The players watched blankly. Some had already begun to consider deeper questions: Everyone saw how they came down, but how did they get up there?

"What should we do?"

This move was too unexpected. The Old Soldiers had actually chosen such a path. In this way, they no longer had the disadvantage of not having a priest! They would directly charge out from the safe zone together with their three priests. And after these two bloody lessons, they must know the importance of the priests. These three guys would definitely be protected like treasures in the middle. And after being bullied by the shameless tactics of the experts twice, would they still sit still and wait for death?

Just as everyone was wondering what to do, they suddenly saw another figure on the roof, a black robe, a purple sword.

"Qian Li!!" Everyone shouted. This person's appearance was always so crucial and so stylish!

Gu Fei walked a bumpy road, and later, when he encountered difficult places, he simply used Instant Movement to fly over. This chase could be considered a final rush. The other party had already sent down five people, and there were still four who were preparing to go down. Gu Fei finally arrived.

Raising his hand and lifting his sword, he slashed at one person. That person also quickly rolled away on the spot, but in that instant, both of them were stunned. Gu Fei regretfully said to those who were expecting him in the courtyard, "This is also considered a safe zone..."

You could cast spells and make slashing motions in the safe zone, but you could never accurately hit anyone. The two had noticed this problem when they had just exchanged blows. The other three who were going to come and help now knew the situation and were immediately delighted.

Finally, the game rules also gave them an advantage! The Old Soldiers were happy, so they ignored Gu Fei and went to become Flying Tigers while grabbing the rope.

Gu Fei chased to the edge of the building, looking at the Old Soldiers grabbing the rope below in surprise, "I said, the safe zone... is only safe for players, it doesn't care about ropes, right?"

Gu Fei had experience with this. A few days ago, he had used a fire spell to burn Papercut Clothes's paper cards in the safe zone. It was clear that only the players were safe in the safe zone. The Old Soldiers' faces turned pale when they heard Gu Fei's words. Gu Fei had already taken out a dagger from his pocket. This white board dropped by the level 70 werewolf was very sharp. Cutting ropes and cutting meat was very practical. With just such a gesture...

"Ah!!!!" The first Old Soldier screamed and fell down. Gu Fei quickly raised his knife to cut the second rope.

There are still three ropes hanging people. Guess how many ropes Gu Fei will cut?
