Hu Die Lan
Chapter 259 Deadly Loop
"Stop talking nonsense, help me!" Han Jia Gongzi stood on the hilltop, enjoying the view for a moment before spotting the Black Hand Mercenary Group's large force rolling towards them. As for the Drifting this and the Left Hand Writes Love, Right Hand Writes Handsome, they were not even in his line of sight.
"Drifting, let's decide the victor!" Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted excitedly as he charged forward, asking, "Which one?"
As a master, he naturally had some knowledge. Seeing so many Drifting, he knew it was just a clone skill, not worth making a fuss about. For Yu Tian Shen Ming, perhaps having four Drifting to vent on at the same time wouldn't be bad.
"Enough nonsense. Which one do you think?" Gu Fei roared.
Yu Tian Shen Ming's question of "Which one" was a bit unprofessional, but it was a no-brainer. Other masters could tell at a glance that Gu Fei was holding down the real one. Why? Because the other three, even without anyone holding them down, were on the ground, baring their fangs and claws. If the one Gu Fei was holding down was fake, then one of the other three was acting, and heavens, that guy was quite willing to abandon his dignity.
Yu Tian Shen Ming also reacted at this moment, walking over triumphantly, looking at the Drifting on the ground and laughing: "Little punk, you have this day too!"
Gu Fei wanted to curse! He was just a mage, pinning Drifting down with skill. To hold him down firmly required strength. Fortunately, Drifting was weak, but it wasn't easy. What if his hand got tired and he loosened his grip, and Drifting opened his mouth to say "Kai," causing the Fallen Clothes Red Lotus to explode?
Yu Tian Shen Ming was still laughing gleefully when the little thief rushed over, and Right Hand Writes Handsome's cold arrows were also released. In actual combat, Yu Tian Shen Ming was not ambiguous, but he focused on Right Hand Writes Handsome, dodging the opponent's cold arrows and immediately returning an arrow. This guy was truly clever, knowing that even if he was a master, close combat with a thief would be troublesome, so he quickly dodged to the side and started shooting at Right Hand Writes Handsome.
"Damn it!" Gu Fei was anxious. He was still trying to seal Drifting's mouth, so how could he deal with the thief? Yu Tian Shen Ming had actually abandoned him. Gu Fei really regretted getting himself into such a situation. If he let go now, and Drifting's "Kai" was still effective, it would be a big problem.
But it must be said that the elite group's guys were quite reliable at critical moments. Yu Tian Shen Ming's shooting had drawn away Right Hand Writes Handsome, and just as Gu Fei thought the thief was going to chop him up, Zhan Wu Shang had already arrived in time with a charge, slamming into the thief's waist from the side.
The thief screamed miserably and was sent flying by Zhan Wu Shang, right to the edge of the mountain. He tumbled and rolled down, his screams echoing from the top of the mountain to the bottom. Everyone at the top, who had been fighting fiercely, couldn't help but stop and stand at the edge of the mountain, looking down together.
"Too cruel," said Left Hand Writes Love.
"Mm!" Jian Gui nodded.
"Excessive!" Yu Tian Shen Ming also said.
"I didn't mean to," Zhan Wu Shang said helplessly. He had simply chosen the most effective attack method in that situation.
Even the Black Hand Mercenary Group, who were advancing from afar, couldn't help but stop at the scream that echoed from the top of the mountain to the bottom. There was a commotion in the ranks.
"What was that?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Sounds like some kind of terrifying creature."
"Damn it, do they have pets?"
"Are there pets in Parallel World?"
Endless gossip and discussion...
Only Gu Fei was still busy, still unsure if Drifting's "Kai" was still effective. Seeing that the others had stopped fighting and were all running to the edge of the mountain to enjoy the scenery, he was both angry and anxious.
After roaring a few times, everyone woke up as if from a dream. Jian Gui was standing next to Left Hand Writes Love, and the two immediately started fighting again. Yu Tian Shen Ming was next to Right Hand Writes Handsome, and the two immediately retreated a few steps, creating distance to shoot at each other again. Zhan Wu Shang turned around, wanting to deal with the Drifting held down by Gu Fei, but Yu Tian Shen Ming shouted anxiously, "No, leave that one to me."
"Go to hell, hurry up!" Gu Fei finally couldn't help but swear. As a teacher, he had been careful enough, but life! There were always times when you were so depressed that you wanted to die. At this time, a few swear words would have a miraculous effect, especially for those who didn't often swear. Why not?
Yu Tian Shen Ming seemed determined to personally kill Drifting. Seeing that Zhan Wu Shang ignored him and still came forward, he shouted "Gongzi" and, ignoring Right Hand Writes Handsome, fired a sharp sniper shot at the Drifting on the ground.
"Wahahaha, garbage Drifting, finally killed by me! You're still a hundred and eight thousand miles behind me!" Killing a mage who had already lost his resistance and whose life had been reduced by Gu Fei actually made Yu Tian Shen Ming feel unprecedentedly proud. Right Hand Writes Handsome's arrows also hit Yu Tian Shen Ming in succession, but his earlier shout of "Gongzi" had worked, and Han Jia Gongzi's recovery spell was timely healing him.
With only two of their own and six opponents, plus a priest, Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome wouldn't be stupid enough to resist to the death. Right Hand Writes Handsome threw a tracking arrow at Yu Tian Shen Ming and ran down the mountain. Left Hand Writes Love also wanted to escape, but he was in close combat, and his opponent was the Sword Demon, whose speed was superior to his. How could he escape so easily? And You Ge, who had nothing to do, also came up to help, and under the combined attack, Left Hand Writes Love's feints and attacks were directly ignored. They endured his fists and feet and simply and effectively killed him.
Right Hand Writes Handsome's speed was fast enough, and in a short while, he had run down a third of the mountain. Yu Tian Shen Ming wanted to chase, but Han Jia Gongzi stopped him: "The opponents are coming, let's go!" The rest of the Black Hand Mercenary Group was coming in force.
Gu Fei didn't even have time to eat a piece of fruit before following the others down the mountain. On the way, Drifting sent a text message, saying depressedly: "This isn't fair!"
"Your magic is too powerful, we were forced to," Gu Fei replied.
"If you do this again, I'll bite your hand!" Drifting said.
"Don't do that, you're the number one mage, how can you do such a degrading thing?" Gu Fei laughed, not taking it seriously. If he could really open his mouth and bite his hand, wouldn't he be able to say "Kai"? (Interested students can try it, simulate it, see if you can bite your hand or not)
The group hurried down the mountain. The sneak attack on the highest peak could be considered a success, but in reality, they only gained three points. No matter how skilled or awesome Drifting was, he was only worth one point in the system's eyes.
After descending the mountain, the six returned to the depression where they had hidden before. Gu Fei finally had some free time and took out a piece of fruit, wanting to eat it. But he suddenly remembered how he had blocked Drifting's mouth earlier, and his palm was stained with the guy's saliva. He felt disgusted and quickly put the sword in his pocket, using his right hand to eat the fruit instead.
"Where do we go now?" You Ge asked.
"We don't need to go anywhere, just stay here," Han Jia Gongzi said.
"Huh?"
"They went up the mountain and can't see us, so they can only look again. This is still a blind spot they don't know about. So, even the place they searched once is as good as not searched. They have to start all over again, so leave two or three eyes, go down the mountain, and then..."
"No way, can it be that simple?" The masters had already understood Han Jia Gongzi's intention. He was using this blind spot at the foot of the mountain to successfully lead the Black Hand Mercenary Group into a dead cycle through a sneak attack. The two sides would go back and forth between sneak attacks and searching, just like repeating a system task.
"We're going to wear them all down with dozens of sneak attacks?" Yu Tian Shen Ming said in disbelief.
"If they were NPCs, they would probably be worn down so easily," Han Jia Gongzi said. "Unfortunately, they are humans. If they have any brains, they should realize that we will sneak attack again."
"Hmm, that makes sense."
"So, their understanding is that they can't split into two groups, but now leaving three or five people is clearly giving away points. Even with a master like Drifting sitting there, they won't do it. What kind of action will they take?" Han Jia Gongzi said.
The group quietly looked at Han Jia Gongzi, waiting for him to announce the answer.
"Please look forward to it!" Han Jia Gongzi said quietly.
"Damn it!!" The masters were depressed.
This time, it wasn't that Han Jia Gongzi was being secretive. He really couldn't accurately predict what kind of solution the other party would take in this difficult situation. He wasn't familiar with his opponent, so he couldn't guess their thinking. Han Jia Gongzi himself had envisioned several answers, and now he could only wait and see which of his assumptions matched the opponent's decision.
The Black Hand Mercenary Group returned to the top of the mountain from afar, panting. The six had long disappeared. They circled around the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, and saw a person standing foolishly in the wilderness. They asked and found out that it was Right Hand Writes Handsome, who had been running all the way. The main force had gone up the mountain, and he had gone down the mountain.
If it was an ordinary guild, this kind of tactic would easily make them feel like they were being played, and they would lose their composure. But the Black Hand Mercenary Group was used to doing tasks. They could endure the invincible, shameless, and rogue system, so they could withstand this kind of thing.
Just as Han Jia Gongzi had expected, the Black Hand people had the brains to guess that they would sneak attack again. Leaving eyes was a must, but leaving three or four people as eyes was definitely not feasible. If leaving three or four people wasn't feasible, then, conversely, they would naturally leave everyone behind.
"Everyone stay, Xiao Yi, Xiao Xi, Xiao Ying..." The团长 Black Finger randomly pointed at a few people, "You guys find a forest each and take a good look! Report back as soon as you find anything."
"Okay!" The团员 members took their orders and each went down the mountain in a different direction.
