Chapter 1 Masters

Of course, the masters were not just from the Young Master Elite Squad. The mercenary groups at the rear had also received the call. Zongheng Sihai's plan was to first organize a team of elites to break through the monster blockade and then assess the monsters' actions.

The Young Master Elite Squad traversed the crowd to the front, where they saw the heads of the various mercenary groups gathered. Wushi Zhi Jian was smiling as he said to everyone, "We'll have to rely on you all this time."

"Just as I thought..." Han Jia Gongzi said in the mercenary channel.

"Yeah, they've called up all the mercenaries. They're planning to use us as cannon fodder to lead the charge!" You Ge also realized.

"No choice, we still have to go," Jian Gui said calmly.

This was indeed the helplessness of the mercenary groups. Sometimes, even knowing they were cannon fodder, they had to charge forward.

"Everyone, my skill lasts for 25 seconds, so make the most of this time to push forward!" Yin Yue announced, referring to his battle formation skill, "King's Order." It was clear that everyone was preparing to use their trump cards at this moment. The members of the Young Master Elite Squad never expected to have the chance to experience Yin Yue's overpowered skill and were all marveling at the vicissitudes of life.

"However, if someone else could assist, the skill duration could be extended a little." Yin Yue added after he finished speaking. The others didn't quite understand. Wushi Zhi Jian also came up and asked, "What do you mean by that, Brother Yin Yue?"

Gu Fei followed Yin Yue's gaze and saw that he was looking toward Yingzhong Yuezi's side. In Yingzhong Yuezi's formation was Mang Mang de Mang Mang de. "Could he be talking about her?" Gu Fei was thinking when he saw Mang Mang de Mang Mang de also turned her head, obviously having heard Yin Yue's words. She had a blank expression, stretched out her hand, and gave Yin Yue the middle finger.

Gu Fei smiled and turned his head away, hearing Yin Yue say to Wushi Zhi Jian, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm just afraid that I'll die and the skill will be interrupted."

"Oh, don't worry about that." Wushi Zhi Jian waved his hand and called up two priests, pointing at Yin Yue: "You two, specialize in healing Brother Yin Yue."

In a team battle, one person was assigned two priests. It was clear how much importance was placed on Yin Yue's skill.

"Melee classes, get ready. Archers and mages will provide assistance as appropriate, but be careful not to injure our own people." The commander, Daoying Nianhua, spoke.

So warriors, thieves, martial artists, and the like stepped forward one after another, temporarily forming a team. Knights began to bless them, priests were mixed in, and mages and archers retreated to the back of the team, standing ready. Because the mountain road was narrow, their retreat was quite far, and they could barely see the battlefield in front.

"What kind of blessing do you want?" You Ge asked Gu Fei with a smile. Gu Fei stuck his sword into the ground and stood casually in the melee class team. The surrounding players cast admiring glances, muttering, "He really is a melee mage?"

Luo Luo came up with her staff, smiling: "Do you want to specialize in being a priest?" After saying that, she cast a healing spell.

"Don't waste it..." Gu Fei wiped his sweat, "Just take care of the girls."

"Them? It doesn't seem necessary anymore..." Luo Luo smiled. Gu Fei looked over there and saw a large group of priests surrounding the girls who were preparing to fight, such as Xiyao Wu, Qiyue Lie, Lie Lie, and Liuxia Liuyue de Yu, ready to offer their services!

"Whatever you want!" Gu Fei was speechless and turned his gaze to the battlefield in front. A few meters away, the bandit gang was blocking the mountain pass. Breaking through here would lead to the plains, where the players wouldn't need to fear these level 30 creatures.

"Isn't there a Boss leading the team? Where is it?" Gu Fei asked.

"Isn't that it?" Luo Luo pointed to him.

Gu Fei pointed over there, and sure enough, there was a bandit whose attire looked very imposing, very different from the other small thieves. Taking a closer look, Gu Fei suddenly realized: "Isn't that Suo Tu? I didn't recognize him in clothes!"

The players looked sideways: Did this person have some unspeakable relationship with Suo Tu?

Time waits for no one. The journey through the Wulong Mountains was delayed by the cliff, and many players were already eager to log off. After the players quickly prepared, Daoying Nianhua pointed out the tactics: "Charge straight from the side, don't get entangled with the Boss first."

The players were eager to try, and Daoying Nianhua raised his arm straight: "Zongheng Sihai archers, get ready, give the enemy an appetizer first, release!"

At his command, countless arrows flew in arcs from the rear of the team, over the players' heads, toward the bandit group.

"Let's go!" The melee players roared and rushed out after the arrows, waving their weapons.

Yin Yue raised his King's Sword, ready to use King's Order, when two figures, one black and one red,嗖嗖, rushed out at a speed that surpassed everyone else.

Daoying Nianhua slapped his thigh, angry beyond words. This motley crew was just not good, with no discipline at all.

"Don't charge, team, team!" Daoying Nianhua was still shouting! The two people in front looked at each other, looked back at the people behind them, and shouted together, "Keep up!"

How could they keep up? Among the melee team, there were many warriors, but even if they were pumped with chicken blood, they couldn't catch up with Gu Fei and Xiyao Wu! People like Jian Gui, although their speed was also very fast, knew how to coordinate with the speed of others.

Gu Fei didn't not know this, and he didn't plan to charge at the beginning, but Xiyao Wu took the lead and rushed out. Gu Fei vaguely felt that he was fighting against the Rebirth Purple Crystals guild, and his blood boiled, so he immediately charged out as well.

At this time, the arrows released by the archers in the rear had already landed in the bandit formation. The attacked bandits, of course, would not sit idly by. Suo Tu waved his broadsword, and the bandits also roared and rushed up, and in the blink of an eye, they were already engaged in close combat with Gu Fei and Xiyao Wu.

"Double Flame Flash, flash!" Gu Fei roared, twisting his whole body, while stepping forward, and in one fell swoop, he had already rolled into the bandit formation. The firelight drew a circle around him, making the other players gasp: Was that Double Flame Flash or Whirlwind Slash?

Xiyao Wu was not to be outdone. She didn't need any skills at all, and her normal attacks mostly solved the problem with one strike, and her efficiency was also extremely high. As soon as Gu Fei's Double Flame Flash was over, Xiyao Wu flashed to his side and quickly cleaned up the bandits who were approaching, and said to Gu Fei triumphantly, "Hehe, the skill's on cooldown, right!"

The other players were stunned, and Daoying Nianhua also pinched his thigh: "Damn it, these two undisciplined people even have coordination between them?"

Gu Fei's swordsmanship was still powerful even when he couldn't use his skills for a while. The sword light flickered, and the surrounding bandits were stabbed with blood, which could repel half of the attack, and the other half was left to Xiyao Wu.

Before long, the skill cooldown ended.

"Make way." After Gu Fei said a word, Xiyao Wu understood and went to the side. Gu Fei chanted a spell, and Double Flame Flash howled and made another circle, and the area around him was clean again.

Daoying Nianhua pinched his thigh again, and shouted to the two of them, "Charge outward, charge outward!"

At this time, the other players had also engaged with the bandits. Infected by Gu Fei and Xiyao Wu, everyone was full of blood and killed in all directions. The level 30 monsters seemed very weak in the hands of these masters for a while.

At this time, the great thief Suo Tu waved his broadsword, and the bandit team began to fight and retreat. The players were proud: This is very simple! Why break through? Just wipe them out here.

Just as they were feeling that they were gradually forcing the bandits back, Suo Tu suddenly raised his broadsword again. The bandits, who had just been on the verge of defeat, suddenly cheered up again, and their shouts rang out again. They picked up their weapons and fought with the players again.

The players suddenly suffered attacks from multiple directions. They calmed down and observed the current situation, shouting "I靠!"

"It's a pocket formation!" Daoying Nianhua pinched his thigh again. The bandits couldn't withstand the players' charge and retreated. After retreating a gap, they suddenly began to counterattack, and bandits on the left and right sides launched a pincer attack. Looking at it this way, it was clear that a pocket formation had been set up at the mountain pass, and now they were trying to swallow the vanguard players. It was unknown whether this formation was formed by the bandits unintentionally, or if it was intentionally lured.

In short, the players who were surrounded on three sides were much more laborious than before. Before long, Yin Yue's "King's Order" skill had expired, and the players' fierce momentum immediately decreased compared to before. Yin Yue was nibbling on fruit in the formation. Everyone was still expecting him to recover his magic power and continue to give everyone this skill, but Yin Yue smiled bitterly to himself: Magic power can be recovered, but this skill has a cooldown of 10 minutes! Can this battle last for ten minutes?

One row of bandits fell, and another row immediately topped them, sealing the players tightly in the middle. Daoying Nianhua was very anxious, constantly calling on everyone to rush out. Daoying Nianhua was clear that these elite players could compete with their opponents, but the problem was that such a competition was a war of attrition.

The system monsters were not afraid of death. The front row fell and the back row stopped, and the rotation was very easy. Players were different, and it was impossible to use this kind of suicide tactic. Players who had exhausted their mana should retreat and be replaced by new players, and the key to the problem was here: On this narrow mountain road, it was impossible to effectively carry out this kind of rotation, which was why Daoying Nianhua was anxious to arrange manpower to break out of the encirclement.

At present, it seemed that only Gu Fei and Xiyao Wu were able to maintain their forward pace in the monster encirclement. The two of them were extremely efficient at clearing monsters. Especially Gu Fei, after his Double Flame Flash, the area around him was clean, and he could take a big step forward. Other players noticed this clue and felt that this was the best breakthrough point, and immediately adjusted the main attack direction to this direction.

Daoying Nianhua was overjoyed, feeling that everyone had successfully found a breakthrough, but before he had time to be happy, he saw Gu Fei feint with his sword, no longer charging at the forefront, and returned to the player formation with an apple in his mouth.

Daoying Nianhua was furious: "What are you doing making trouble at this critical moment!"

"No way, I'm out of mana!" Yutian Shenming, as an archer, was not in the charge formation, and was standing near Daoying Nianhua with his bow at this time.

Daoying Nianhua wanted to cry but had no tears. At such a critical moment, he retreated from the formation to eat fruit to replenish his mana. The time wasted had been enough to affect the battle.
