Chapter 110 Fire Wheel Descends

The burning fire wheel descended from the sky, faster than an archer's snipe, and at such a short distance, dodging it would only be possible if one moved the moment the mage began chanting. People like Gu Fei and his companions, waiting until the fire wheel was already visible before crying out and trying to dodge, were too late, no matter how high their agility. As for Gu Fei… he still hoped the fire wheel wouldn't actually hit him. This was the kind of thought that only completely inexperienced players would have.

The fire wheel descended, engulfing the group. This was the second time Gu Fei had suffered a major blow, after being hit by Xiao Yu's Whirlwind Slash. The fiery flames burned him, and his health plummeted instantly. Gu Fei was depressed; why was it that those who hurt him always seemed to be friends?

But after all, Bing Liuli was not Gu Fei. Area-of-effect spells like Heavenly Fire Wheel had a wide range, but their single-target damage was relatively low. Unless there was a significant level difference, this skill was far from being an instant kill.

Gu Fei himself had used Heavenly Fire Wheel to make others scream, which had given him a psychological shadow. When Bing Liuli's fire wheel appeared, it made him nervous, and he was still praying for a priest to show up in time to save him, just like last time. Who knew the power would be so limited, and his health only dropped a little before stopping.

In this kind of spell-heavy battle, the other five seemed much more experienced than Gu Fei. Although they were hit head-on by the Heavenly Fire Wheel, they didn't panic. Taking advantage of Gu Fei's momentary health drop, they continued their attack. Facing one against five, they didn't feel any fear.

Gu Fei also woke up as if from a dream. Seeing that the others were about to cast spells again, he quickly swung his sword.

Double Flame Flash; the two mages were planning to use this skill too. Although this skill's damage was very low, Gu Fei had just taken a Heavenly Fire Wheel. If he took two Double Flame Flashes from the mages on top of that, even if it didn't kill him instantly, the Double Flame Flash's five-second burn would be enough to deplete his health.

Unfortunately, the recovered Gu Fei reacted even faster. He swung the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, and the two mages' Double Flame Flashes died halfway through their incantation. Along with that, the two mages also died heroically.

Having taken a Heavenly Fire Wheel and been hit twice by the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword, it would be strange if the fragile mages weren't dead.

As for the priest among them, he was pathetically trying to heal himself and hadn't noticed that his companions were already on the verge of death.

The archers, when approached in close combat, performed even worse than the mages. They originally thought that the two mages would quickly finish off Gu Fei, but who knew that they would be the ones to fall in the end? The two archers became nervous and quickly retreated to create distance, but how could Gu Fei give them the chance? He stabbed out twice.

Gu Fei could be considered an all-agility mage. No matter how fast the archers were, it wouldn't be easy for them to show their advantage within these few meters. Although Gu Fei wasn't as fast as them, reaching out and delivering a sword was always enough. Each of them took a sword to the back, white light flashed, and they disappeared.

Similarly, Heavenly Fire Wheel plus two sword strikes, and the archers couldn't withstand it either.

Looking back, the priest was just standing there, holding his staff, stunned. He had just healed himself and was preparing to help his companions, but in this short moment, his four companions had already been taken down by Gu Fei.

At this time, the priest felt lost, lonely, and helpless.

But Gu Fei had no sympathy. He quickly stepped forward… the priest's speed was far too different from Gu Fei's. The difference was so great that it could be seen within a few meters. The priest, who wanted to escape, had only turned halfway when Gu Fei caught up.

"Double Flame Flash, flash!" Gu Fei shouted with great pleasure. The two mages had always only been able to chant half of their spell, which must have been very depressing for them, right?

However, this priest was clearly of the constitution type. He didn't die after taking Gu Fei's "Double Flame Flash," after all, it was currently the skill with the lowest direct damage among the mage's skills. As for the subsequent 5-second burning damage, that had nothing to do with his weapon. It would be easy for the priest to endure, as he also knew the healing art!

Gu Fei wasn't polite and gave him another "Double Flame Flash." The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword displayed its magical damage vividly, and the priest finally fell as well.

All of this had happened in the blink of an eye. The flames of Bing Liuli's Heavenly Fire Wheel were still slowly receding. Of the six people trapped in the fire wheel, only Gu Fei remained.

"Awesome!" Gu Fei gave Bing Liuli a thumbs up. "You killed them all."

Unfortunately, Bing Liuli wasn't Xiao Yu and knew very well. She smiled and said, "My PK value didn't increase!"

Her words reminded Gu Fei, and he quickly pulled up his character information. On his PK value, there was a bright red 6.

"Damn it!" Gu Fei lost control of his emotions. Clearly, they were the ones who attacked him first! According to his calculations, at most the priest hadn't attacked him, and then 1 point of PK value would be added to his account.

1 point of PK value? 6 points?

Dizzy! Gu Fei realized that he had killed that guy in the trading street, and he already had 1 point of PK value. The regulations about self-defense or killing players with PK value didn't apply to him anymore because he was already a "person with PK value."

Gu Fei was in tears. The so-called wise man sometimes makes mistakes. Gu Fei often failed because of his neglect and indifference to the game rules. It seemed that he needed to strengthen his spiritual civilization construction regarding PK, deeply imprint the PK rules in his mind, and achieve a powerful awareness of the consequences of every action.

PK value… since entering the game, he had been most intimate with this thing. He had only just abandoned it three hours ago, and it was already缠上了 (chan shang le, clinging to) him again.

Bing Liuli naturally didn't know about the many changes in Gu Fei's mind at this time. She said with regret, "That guy sneaked away."

Bing Liuli was talking about Can Mengsi (Dream Death). The equipment data provided by Gu Fei clearly all belonged to this person, but now they had let him escape. Could this be considered a miscalculation by Gu Fei?

Gu Fei smiled calmly. "Isn't he still here?"

After saying that, Gu Fei leaped up, spun in the air, and delivered a beautiful roundhouse kick.

A figure appeared behind Gu Fei. Can Mengsi tilted his head, with a large footprint on the right side of his face.

"So handsome!" Leng Liuli clapped.

Gu Fei smiled, inwardly disapproving. Amateurs watch the show, experts watch the technique. A good roundhouse kick is indeed dashing and beautiful, but in actual combat, this kind of kick has limited value. Simply put, first, there must be space to perform it. During the performance, the supporting leg during the jump and rotation, as well as the time required for recovery, are major flaws. In short, such large movements are rarely used in real高手 (gao shou, expert) matches.

Gu Fei was using it at this time, first, to bully the opponent who was an amateur, second, Can Mengsi's position was really帅 (shuai, handsome), so Gu Fei couldn't help but use this move that he usually hardly ever used, and third, Gu Fei's kicking method had been researched and modified by himself. Compared to a normal roundhouse kick, Gu Fei's was only half a move. In game terms, he had shortened the skill casting time! The flaws would naturally be less.

Bing Liuli couldn't see this point and could only praise "So handsome." Gu Fei felt that this praise was neither nutritious nor meaningful.

Looking at Can Mengsi again, he had already taken three kicks from Gu Fei. Two legs had hit his head, and the damage was always limited, but he was clearly a little stunned by Gu Fei's kicks. Five seconds had already passed, and he was still maintaining the posture of tilting his body and face, like a freeze-frame in a movie.

Gu Fei was happy to let him be stupid here. He hadn't dealt with Can Mengsi yet because he was intentionally delaying time.

From the beginning of standing in front of the mailbox to block the way, Gu Fei wanted to confirm who was holding Frost Memories, and then judged that it should be Can Mengsi. So Gu Fei took the lead in solving the other guys, leaving Can Mengsi alone, in order to buy time for Han Jia Gongzi and the others.

To drop Frost Memories after being killed once was such terrible luck, and Jian Gui had already experienced it once today. He believed that most people wouldn't be so unlucky. To get Frost Memories back, chasing and killing was necessary.

Ordinary players who possessed top-quality weapons would of course always carry the equipment with them. This situation was different from Can Mengsi. The Frost Memories on him could be transferred at any time, which further increased the difficulty of recovering it.

In fact, Gu Fei didn't have high hopes for retrieving Frost Memories. What he wanted to do was mainly to help Jian Gui vent his anger. Besides, having a fight was really too感动 (gan dong, touching/moving).

But in any case, Frost Memories was still a major goal. After killing Can Mengsi, the next stop would naturally be his revival point, the Thieves' Guild. Gu Fei was now waiting for Han Jia Gongzi and the others to go there in advance to make arrangements.

Can Mengsi was stunned for five seconds before he recovered.

Holding a dagger, he looked at Gu Fei but didn't know how to strike.

Running away was the best policy. As Can Mengsi made this decision, Gu Fei's sword had already been swung.

If Can Mengsi wanted to run, Gu Fei really couldn't do anything about it. After the thief activated the level 30 skill疾行 (ji xing, Swift Travel), Gu Fei wouldn't be able to catch up no matter what. Seeing that Can Mengsi had returned to normal, Gu Fei immediately took action. He had to entangle the opponent here until Han Jia Gongzi and the others were ready.

The Dark Night Flowing Light Sword danced, the sword light intertwined, forming a sword net. Can Mengsi was trapped in it, completely at a loss, but fortunately, several dodges and blocks successfully parried Gu Fei's attacks, which made him feel relieved. Of course, he couldn't see that this was completely intentional by Gu Fei.

In this stalemate, Gu Fei even pretended to be anxious to attack, in order to fool the opponent. This did gradually give Can Mengsi confidence. Seeing that although the opponent was attacking, he had defended against all of them, Can Mengsi secretly得意 (de yi, complacent) that his reaction and speed were not bad.

By holding on like this, reinforcements would arrive soon.

Can Mengsi actually had the same expectation as Gu Fei. As a result, neither side's wishes were fulfilled.

Gu Fei suddenly heard a high-pitched female voice behind him shouting, "Yo, fighting!"

Then he heard Bing Liuli's surprise, "Lie Lie."

"Ha, I came over to see if there was anything going on, and it turns out you're fighting. I'll come help you!" Lie Lie shouted.

Can Mengsi felt a chill in his heart, and so did Gu Fei.
