Hu Die Lan
Chapter 126 Fallen Robe Red Lotus
The spirited Drifting began to take charge. After observing the surrounding environment and the spawn locations of the small monsters, he directed Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome to lure the monsters while arranging the girls' positions.
The girls were all very self-aware, which was good. Knowing their own strength was lacking, they listened to the arrangements and guidance from the expert. No pretension, no questions, and certainly no objections. Each of them exuded cleverness, and in addition, Luo Luo's hands were very skillful, often using healing spells to touch Gu Fei.
Gu Fei stared at Luo Luo blankly.
Luo Luo returned Gu Fei's gaze meaningfully.
In the clear blue sky, a group of otherworldly creatures flew south...
"Everyone, take your positions!" Drifting shouted.
Gu Fei suddenly became anxious. How could Drifting be so interested in the ladies and neglect his friend! He had only arranged things for the girls, but hadn't given him anything to do. He quickly flew over and blocked Drifting's path, "Brother Drifting, what about me? Where should I stand?" Although Gu Fei liked to go straight in with his sword, it was obviously impossible to carry out this kind of tactic in a mage leveling group. Since that was the case, he could only stand somewhere like the girls and throw down a Heavenly Fire Wheel or something.
Drifting glanced at Gu Fei, "Qian Li, you move so fast, what position do you need? The monsters can't even catch you."
"Oh..."
"Why don't you lure monsters too? The more people lure monsters, the faster we'll level!" Drifting said with a smile.
"Okay." Gu Fei nodded. Avoiding the heavy work was not Gu Fei's style. Moreover, for him, luring monsters was more interesting than standing in one place and throwing spells. Although Gu Fei had tried his best to treat casting spells as practicing hidden weapons, there were obviously no hidden weapons as large as the Heavenly Fire Wheel in real life. Therefore, Gu Fei wasn't very interested in area-of-effect spells, which was completely the opposite of the thinking of ordinary mages.
With everything arranged, Gu Fei and Liu Xia were responsible for luring monsters from the east, Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome were responsible for luring monsters from the south, and Rebirth Purple Crystal's female members stood in two rows at an angle in the northwest direction, while Drifting stood at the vertex of this angle.
"Let's begin!" Drifting announced.
The four monster-lurers set off, each rushing towards their target with different techniques.
Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome's monster-luring skills were very skilled, and their cooperation was seamless. It was clear that they were born for this kind of work. In no time, they had organized the monsters from the south and brought back a trainload.
On the other hand, Gu Fei and Liu Xia were a stark contrast. There was no cooperation between the two of them, and it seemed that Liu Xia hadn't spent much time in mage groups. Her monster-luring skills were extremely crude. In addition, it was her first time facing monsters ten levels higher than herself, so she was inevitably nervous. After luring four of them, she ran too fast and lost three. When she turned around to try to lure them again, she was surrounded by NPC monsters.
The monster-lurer was being lured by monsters instead. Gu Fei really didn't know what to say. He quickly turned back with his train of monsters and threw a few fireballs, luring away Liu Xia's monsters and saving her.
When the two of them ran back with their monsters, Gu Fei's side still had a trainload. On Liu Xia's side, there was only one monster behind her, which could at most be considered a hand-held tractor.
Everyone was sweating profusely. Liu Xia's face was also slightly red, and she stuck out her tongue at Gu Fei apologetically.
"Beauties, get ready. The train is about to enter the station." Drifting called out. The girls nodded and raised their staffs to summon Heavenly Fire Wheels.
Drifting looked up and shouted "Oh my god!" in his heart. Gu Fei had completed his monster-luring task and was now watching the situation from the sidelines. Drifting's distressed expression happened to fall into his eyes. Gu Fei was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Kid, now you know how powerful they are!"
In the sky, the bright Olympic five rings reappeared in the martial world, shining brilliantly and fluttering in the wind.
If everyone had the same awareness, the spells would be positioned perfectly. Obviously, these Heavenly Fire Wheels were overlapping. Drifting didn't expect that everyone's Heavenly Fire Wheels could be so accurate, but it was truly a spectacle to be able to piece together such a pattern.
He had leveled with newbies before, but he had never leveled with so many newbies at once. Drifting was moved by the scene, and the "fall" in his command was slightly tearful.
"Fall!" The girls shouted娇气势气势.
The fire wheels fell, and as Gu Fei had expected, these chaotic attacks would definitely not be able to clear the monsters. Moreover, due to the appearance of the five-ring spectacle, the effect of this wave of attacks was definitely below Drifting's expectations.
Gu Fei possessed cross-level spell damage, as well as the vision and accuracy honed by twenty years of immersion in hidden weapon skills, which allowed him to turn the tide with a Fire Tree Thousand Heavy Flames in this situation. What would Drifting, who also hadn't attacked with the girls, do?
Gu Fei noticed that the situation this time was slightly more complicated than yesterday. Four people were luring monsters, and there were more monsters than he had lured alone yesterday. Moreover, after this wave of attacks, the monsters seemed to be scattering in all directions.
Gu Fei saw that it would be too late if he didn't act, and he quickly stepped forward to prepare to use his sword and cast a spell. Unexpectedly, Drifting's thoughts were faster than him, and he was closer to the monsters. He had already stepped into the monster group in two steps.
Gu Fei was stunned. He swallowed back the chant that he had already started. If Drifting was in the monster group, and he cast a spell, wouldn't he burn him too? What was this guy doing?
Gu Fei was anxious. The girls also discovered that the monsters seemed to be rushing towards them, and they were also in a panic. At this moment, Drifting, who was in the monster group, raised the staff in his hand, and everyone heard his roar, "Fallen Clothes Red Lotus, Bloom!"
A loud boom echoed. This was the sound effect that only occurred when raging flames burned in the game.
Flames resembling flower petals bloomed around Drifting, rolling out in layers, wave after wave. The surrounding monsters were swallowed up circle by circle, and were burned to ashes in an instant.
Gu Fei, who had never been interested in area-of-effect spells, was stunned. This spell was too impressive. But what was even more awesome was Drifting. The attacks in the parallel world not only had no damage protection for teammates, but also had no protection for himself. In other words, if you dropped a Heavenly Fire Wheel on your own head, you would suffer the same consequences.
At this time, Drifting was in the center of this red lotus woven from flames. Could he still be alive? Was this guy sacrificing himself to save the situation? Gu Fei was still in a daze when all the monsters had been wiped out, and the flames disappeared with a swoosh. Drifting was standing in place, and the mage robe that had been lifted by the heat wave was slowly falling down. The dazzling red light in his hand gradually faded away.
Everyone was stunned for a full half a minute. Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome exchanged glances, and a smug look appeared on their faces.
The girls finally reacted and exclaimed in unison, "Wow, so beautiful!!!"
Drifting was stunned, and a lonely look appeared on his face.
Gu Fei couldn't help but sigh sympathetically. As an expert, he would often experience this kind of loneliness of not being understood, especially in front of this group of girls. Drifting, just accept your fate!
"What kind of spell is that?" The girls surrounded Drifting, asking questions.
"A skill that comes with the staff." Drifting replied casually. Being surrounded by everyone and receiving admiration was the scene he had initially envisioned, and he had been somewhat disappointed when it didn't happen. Now that it was finally being made up for, Drifting was a little distracted. He was surrounded by the girls, but his eyes pierced through them and looked at Gu Fei outside the circle.
Gu Fei leaned on the ground with his sword in one hand, and gave Drifting a thumbs up with the other.
Drifting smiled and nodded in response. Leveling continued.
And the method that Drifting came up with to solve the girls' "Five Ring Heavenly Fire Wheel" problem was exactly the same as Yu Tian Shen Ming's: draw a circle.
If they cast spells at a fixed point, then no one would miss. The problem was solved for the girls, but the difficulty for the monster-lurers increased a lot. Moreover, since there were two groups of people luring monsters, how could everyone arrive at the circle at the same time? This was a headache.
Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome showed the demeanor of experts at this time, and said to Gu Fei and Liu Xia in a very caring tone, "Just lure your monsters, we'll coordinate with your rhythm."
"Thanks." Gu Fei said. For the skill of monster-luring, online game knowledge was more important than kung fu. In this regard, Gu Fei was just like an ordinary person, with no advantages to speak of.
Leveling started again. Gu Fei and Liu Xia lured monsters on their own. On the other hand, Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome observed the situation on Gu Fei's side while skillfully luring their monsters. They walked in a circle, strolled, and finally arrived at the same time as Gu Fei.
At Drifting's command, the Heavenly Fire Wheels of several mages slammed down on the monsters in the circle. And Drifting, like Gu Fei, chose to use Fire Tree Thousand Heavy Flames.
Drifting could use area-of-effect spells to kill people in the tavern, and his Cedar Staff was so powerful that he didn't need to prepare to trade with others. From these aspects, it could be seen that this guy's spell damage was definitely abnormal.
After the girls' neat Heavenly Fire Wheels and Drifting's Fire Tree Thousand Heavy Flames, the monsters were cleanly wiped out.
Everyone cheered. In this way, leveling could finally proceed steadily.
"Qian Li, you won't have any fruit to eat today!" A girl said playfully to Gu Fei.
"I'll get tired of eating it all the time," Gu Fei said.
"It's okay, I'll give you healing spells to eat." Luo Luo cast a healing spell.
Gu Fei stared at Luo Luo blankly.
Luo Luo stared at Gu Fei meaningfully.
In the clear blue sky, a group of otherworldly creatures flew south...
The subsequent leveling went smoothly, with Drifting performing his Fallen Clothes Red Lotus a few more times at the enthusiastic request of the girls.
Drifting didn't say much about the specifics of this skill. Although the girls had a burning gossip soul, they still had the qualities that online game players should have. Seeing that Drifting seemed to want to keep it a secret, they didn't ask any more questions.
However, after watching Drifting use it a few times, they could still make some discoveries. At least this skill was not released at a fixed point, but like Anti-Magic, it was activated around the character. No wonder Drifting was in the center of the skill, but nothing happened to him.
In addition, from the situation when it was used for the first time, it could be seen that the damage of this skill was extremely domineering. Perhaps it was a cross-level equipment like the Dark Night Radiance Sword, Gu Fei guessed. However, since Drifting's level was 41, only four people in the entire parallel world could use Appraisal to see his equipment. Therefore, everyone didn't know if Drifting had other equipment to enhance his spell damage.
Leveling continued until the girls were ready to disband, and there were no more accidents. This in itself surprised Gu Fei. At least, he thought he should have heard Yu Tian Shen Ming shouting "Help!" Could it be that this kid was so lucky today that he didn't receive any tricky tasks?
After asking, it was indeed the case. After solving the black-hatted person in the tavern, Yu Tian Shen Ming's tasks had been smooth sailing.
"How many times?" Gu Fei asked.
"15 times," Yu Tian Shen Ming replied smugly. This efficiency was absolutely amazing. Gu Fei conservatively estimated that the coordinate refresh and teleport function of the Wind Chasing Crest saved him two-thirds of the time.
"It looks like it's going smoothly. Just pray that you don't get a guy who only has one minute left to clear his PK value!" Gu Fei said.
"You're an idiot. I'm looking for guys with a PK value of 2 or more! The rewards are higher, and I'm not afraid of being short on time." Gu Fei was rarely confused, and Yu Tian Shen Ming seized the opportunity to mock him.
"Do you still need my help?" Unfortunately, Yu Tian Shen Ming also had a handle in Gu Fei's hands.
"Big brother, I was wrong..." Obviously, the handle that Yu Tian Shen Ming had was not powerful enough.
"Alright, I'm going to log off. You should prepare to finish up too!" Gu Fei said.
"Log off what? Let's stay up all night!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
Gu Fei ignored him.
Damn it, I have to look at other people's faces to do a task. How depressing! As a top expert, Yu Tian Shen Ming still had to vent some of the grievances in his heart. This wasn't complaining about Gu Fei, but just feeling indignant for himself. He could say that he was once a famous figure, but now he would encounter tasks that he couldn't handle on his own. While sighing and lamenting that he was not what he used to be, Yu Tian Shen Ming shot and killed his sixteenth target of the day.
"Be earlier tomorrow!" He sent a message to Gu Fei.
"I'll try my best!" Gu Fei replied, while he was also saying goodbye to Drifting and the others.
Gu Fei and the girls from Rebirth Purple Crystal were about to log off, while people like Drifting, who could squeeze into the top five experts in the game, were obviously the kind of people like Yu Tian Shen Ming who played day and night. You definitely couldn't use human schedules to speculate about them.
When they heard that everyone was no longer going to continue leveling, the three of them were surprised, and then said that everyone should leave first, and the three of them were going to find a place to continue.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" Gu Fei asked Drifting. With Drifting, Gu Fei didn't have to cast spells to attack, which made him relax a lot. Gu Fei was really afraid that after the apples, he would throw up bananas, peaches, and pears. You said that there were only so many common fruits in the world, and it would be too unharmonious to become incompatible with them in order to play an online game.
"Let's make an appointment tomorrow!" Drifting said.
"I'll contact you again." After adding each other as friends, Gu Fei waved goodbye to him. Drifting watched him leave.
"Let's go!" Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome came over to call Drifting.
"That Qian Li Zui is not simple," Drifting said.
"How so?" The two of them were puzzled.
"Although I didn't see him officially attack, his spell damage is very high," Drifting said.
"How do you know?" Left Hand Writes Love asked.
"Do you remember the first time we lured monsters? Those girls cast Heavenly Fire Wheels in a mess, and most of the monsters were only hit once or twice," Drifting said.
"I remember. It was good that you used Fallen Clothes Red Lotus to solve it, otherwise they would have been in trouble," Left Hand Writes Love said.
"That's right, because of their attacks, the monsters went towards them. But at that time, I noticed that most of the monsters that Qian Li Zui lured over didn't change direction and still chased after him," Drifting said.
"What's wrong with that?" Left Hand Writes Love asked.
"Stupid, that means most of the monsters' aggro was still on him! He used Fireball to lure the monsters. It takes some time to lure them and bring them over. At this time, they were hit by Heavenly Fire Wheels, but they still couldn't pull away the monsters' aggro. Think about how high the damage of his Fireball must be!" Drifting said.
Left Hand Writes Love reacted and was immediately amazed. "Could it be as high as yours?"
"I don't know about that. It's a pity that those girls' spell damage is too low. They can't kill the monsters before I act. Otherwise, I should be able to roughly estimate the damage of his Fireball," Drifting said regretfully.
"How could it be as high as yours? How abnormal would his equipment have to be? His speed should be a full Agility build," Right Hand Writes Handsome was an archer and had more experience in judging the relationship between Agility and movement speed.
Drifting said, "The problem is either his sword or his clothes. I've appraised him many times, but these two pieces of equipment are always not displayed."
The two people behind him nodded.
"Let's go, let's take a look at the leveling area here. Let's see if there are any monsters without fire resistance, so that I can roughly estimate how much damage he has," Drifting said, and had already stepped towards the other end of the leveling area.
