Chapter 1

Han Jia Gongzi sat comfortably atop the tree, watching the people on the map scurrying around like ants, a sense of pleasure welling up in his heart. The eight squads of the Mu Yun Mercenary Group moved towards the four vertices and the center point of the square map. The squad at the 0,0 coordinate was the first to arrive, and then stayed in place, without moving.

"Update coordinates, update coordinates," Han Jia Gongzi called out to the others in the mercenary channel. Although he had a good vantage point from the height, there were some places Han Jia Gongzi couldn't see, such as behind the hillside, in the small woods, and in some uneven areas. At this time, he had arranged for the others to hide in these places, making it impossible for him to grasp their precise positions.

After the four reported their coordinates in succession, the corners of Han Jia Gongzi's mouth twitched slightly: "Yu Tian, even I have to admire you. May I ask, are you running in a straight line?"

"Of course," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

"Keep running, I bet you can't get out of this forest," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"I say, Yu Tian, wouldn't you? How did you do the bounty missions? Wasn't that also finding coordinates?" Gu Fei asked.

"Yu Tian's coordinate notebook can't be used now, right..." You Ge reminded him.

"Oh..." Gu Fei reacted. Yu Tian Shen Ming had a notebook that recorded a large number of Cloud City coordinates. When he needed to go to a coordinate, he had to consult his notebook first. Even if he couldn't find it directly, he would at least find something close, and next to it would be recorded a landmark, such as: Little Thunder Tavern. So Yu Tian Shen Ming pointed at these familiar places and walked, so he could successfully reach the coordinate.

"Keep the channel clean! No chatting!" Han Jia Gongzi criticized the two, and then issued a series of instructions.

"Jian Gui, wait for my order to rush out of the woods, then run fast towards 0,400!"

"Qian Li, after Jian Gui starts running, rush out from behind the hillside and move towards the woods at 366,365. Be as fast as you can."

"You Ge, your low ground should be connected to the small hills at 426,375, right? Start moving towards here now."

On the other side, in the mercenary channel of the Mu Yun Mercenary Group, the leader Yun Zhong Mu Di was personally leading a team to search while also giving commands.

"Any discoveries on the high ground?"

"None!"

"What about the squads?"

"7 o'clock in position, no discovery."

"6 o'clock in position, no discovery."

...

Of the eight squads of the Mu Yun Mercenary Group, except for the squad heading towards 1 o'clock, which had the farthest journey, the other seven squads had arrived in succession.

"Everyone get ready, after 1 o'clock arrives, immediately start searching clockwise," Yun Zhong Mu Di sent a message.

Before he could even send out the command, intelligence came from the high ground: "Target found, target found."

"Position!"

"Running out of the woods from the 11 o'clock direction, currently moving towards the 10 o'clock direction," the high ground scout reported. Ordinary people could only do this much, dividing the map like a clock and then roughly describing the direction. Being able to judge the coordinates with the naked eye like Han Jia Gongzi, as he said, was talent.

"Keep an eye on him, report his movements at any time! The nearest Second Squad and Third Squad go and intercept him," Yun Zhong Mu Di ordered.

From the moment Jian Gui appeared, the eyes of the four high ground scouts never dared to leave him. The high ground also had some blind spots. If he suddenly drilled into a pit or went around a hillside, it was possible to lose track of where he went. As a result, none of the four noticed that on the other end of the map, a figure rushed out from behind the hillside and ran wildly, disappearing into a small forest in the blink of an eye.

"Jian Gui, you're almost there, stop," although the humans in Han Jia Gongzi's eyes had turned into ants, he could still basically identify friend from foe: the lonely ones were his own people, and the groups were the enemy.

"He stopped!" the high ground scout reported.

"Position!" the squad preparing to intercept Jian Gui asked.

"Uh..." the scout couldn't describe it for a moment. If Jian Gui was moving, he could describe it as "towards x o'clock direction", but now that he was standing still, it stumped him.

"Position!" the squad members asked again.

"Uh, the direction you're currently moving in is slightly to the left, then keep going and you can probably bump into him. The other team, you can go slightly to the right!"

"Ah, a little more to the left! You're too far to the right!"

"The team on the left, a little more to the left!"

"The team on the left is too far to the right, a little to the left, too far to the left, a little more to the right!"

"A little more to the right..."

"A little more to the right..."

"Too far, a little to the left, sigh, that team is too far to the left again, towards the right..."

The two teams just completely collapsed like that. "Private chat!!!" the two teams roared in unison.

"Oh..." the scout finally reacted, one person responsible for each team, and began to guide the way. And Jian Gui had not moved this whole time, so everyone's eyes were not so tightly fixed on him, and as a result, the angle of view shifted slightly, and a figure was seen rushing towards the four hills where they were located.

"Ah!!! Another one found!" the scout shouted.

"Where?" Yun Zhong Mu Di quickly asked.

"Running towards us!"

"What's the panic? There are four of you, didn't you prepare?" Yun Zhong Mu Di criticized his subordinates for their lack of composure.

"But, the speed is so fast!" the four exclaimed, hurriedly preparing for battle.

"Fast, how fast can it be? Can it be faster than your arrows? Once the Swift Travel is gone, how fast can he be!" Yun Zhong Mu Di said. He had specifically arranged for four archers on the high ground so that they could launch attacks from afar when they discovered the target.

The four archers had already nocked their arrows and were ready for a sniper attack, just waiting for Gu Fei to enter their firing range.

As Gu Fei approached, Gu Fei's attire became increasingly clear, and the four of them opened their mouths wide: "This... is not a Swift Travel thief."

"What is it then?"

"Seems to be... a mage..." Gu Fei's Night Spirit Robe billowing in the wind at high speed had already deeply betrayed him. There were only two professions that wore robes, mages and priests. And priests were non-combat professions, and would never come charging over with such momentum.

"What are you afraid of with a mage, you're four archers!" Yun Zhong Mu Di scolded his subordinates for being useless. He had not witnessed it with his own eyes, and could not imagine how fast a mage could move.

The four scouts were full of questions at this moment, and didn't even bother to look at the messages in the mercenary channel. Seeing Gu Fei enter the firing range, one of them gave an order, and the four of them released the bowstrings in their hands.

Four arrows flew out like shooting stars chasing the moon.

Gu Fei was full of confidence. If he was still at level 30, he would definitely not be able to dodge the sniper fire of the archers if he charged up like this. At that time, it wasn't that he couldn't see the trajectory of the arrows, but that his body couldn't reach the required movement speed. But now he was already level 39. In comparison, the speed increase from skills was far less obvious than Gu Fei adding 9 levels of agility and getting a pair of Wind Chasing Boots. Gu Fei no longer took the sniper fire of these ordinary characters seriously.

The four scouts on the hilltop thought that Gu Fei would definitely be taken care of this time, but they saw the black figure change direction four times in a whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, and the four arrows had been left behind him, and the distance between them was already half as close.

"Ah! How is this possible!" the four exclaimed in unison, mouths agape.

"Tracking Arrows, quick, Tracking Arrows!" one of them called out to his three companions while fumbling to nock an arrow. The most powerful sniper attack had just been used and was on skill cooldown, so it could not be used again.

The drawback of archers needing skillful techniques for attacking was showing again. It was said that masters who used hidden weapons had to have very steady hands. And wasn't that also true of archers? At this time, one of the four scouts was not mentally strong enough, and seeing Gu Fei approaching rapidly, he couldn't get the arrow aligned no matter what.

Fortunately, the other three performed normally, the bowstrings sounded, and with a peng peng peng, three Tracking Arrows with white light flashing on their tips flew out.

Gu Fei, who didn't even care about the speed of sniper attacks, wouldn't take Tracking Arrows seriously. Although the tracking function made it impossible to dodge, why should he dodge? The Night Spirit Sword in his hand thrust out, and the tip of the sword shook three times in a row, knocking off the three arrows.

The mouths of the four scouts were so wide open that their chins almost fell to the ground. In this moment of distraction, Gu Fei finally rushed in front of them.

"Dual Flame Flash, flash!" Gu Fei struck with his sword. Archers were also a profession with low health, and couldn't withstand Gu Fei's big move. As the firelight flashed, two of them had already flipped over. The other two were immediately at a loss, archers who were approached always had a sense of confusion.

Gu Fei calmly stabbed a few times, and the two archers couldn't avoid or fight back. They turned to run, but they weren't as fast as Gu Fei. In the end, they died with a face full of憋屈 (beiqu - repressed feelings).

Until their deaths, the four scouts did not understand: was this really a mage? They seemed to have heard him use the mage skill Dual Flame Flash, but could Dual Flame Flash kill people instantly? Was it an illusion?

After being teleported out of the arena after death, the four of them stared at each other, and the members of the two squads that went to encircle Jian Gui were still sending them messages with a biu biu biu: "Location! Location!"

"Location your mom! We're dead!" the four said unhappily.

Yun Zhong Mu Di was greatly surprised when he received the news of the four's deaths. From the time the four reported discovering the target to the time they were killed, how long had it been? Yun Zhong Mu Di finally realized from the side that the speed that shocked the four scouts was not an exaggeration.

"Fourth Squad, Fifth Squad, advance towards the high ground."

"Have the Second Squad and Third Squad found the previous target?"

"Not yet!"

Han Jia Gongzi, at the far end of the treetop, clearly saw Gu Fei rushing up the hilltop and causing a flash of white light, and then received the message that Gu Fei "solved" the problem.

"Very good, Qian Li, return the way you came!"

"Jian Gui, Swift Travel to 223,398."

"You Ge, update your coordinates."

"Yu Tian, did you get out of the woods?"

"......"
