Hu Die Lan
Chapter 349 Continuing the Journey
Players who could become part of this scenic view had a certain level of speed. Currently, the only one who could withstand Gu Fei's Double Flaming Flash with that speed was probably Xi Yao Wu, wearing her set of fire-resistant magic equipment.
The person before him was just another ordinary player from LinYin City. This record-breaking feat of surviving Gu Fei's sword strike clearly didn't belong to him. As the white light flashed, Gu Fei's downward momentum didn't stop. The firelight from the Dark Night Flowing Light Sword continued to scatter in the wind, piercing through the white light, making it look as if Gu Fei had blown his head off with one strike.
The onlookers turned pale with fright. Someone shouted, "The Great God is killing people again!" Instantly, a large blank space appeared around Gu Fei, everyone holding their weapons in front of their chests in a defensive posture.
"Everyone, don't be nervous, it's just a bounty mission. How could I randomly kill innocent people!" Gu Fei said.
"Oh..." Everyone understood that it was a bounty mission, and they had seen Gu Fei enter and exit the bounty mission office earlier. However, Gu Fei's claim that he never randomly killed innocent people only earned him a chorus of "Tch~". 54 PK points, that was 54 lives. Did anyone believe someone like that when he said he wouldn't randomly kill innocent people?
In any case, the players' tense mood eased up a little. Gu Fei flashed away to continue his escape, while the onlookers craned their necks under the eaves of the Round Log Tavern, searching for the system guards. Suddenly, a magnificent sound of rising from the ground came from mid-air, and several figures soared into the air one after another, still maintaining their order in the air.
"So cool!" The players exclaimed with yearning.
By the time these figures landed one after another, the onlookers had changed their cheers to cries.
Who would have thought that these system guards would use Earth Fissure Slash to get on the roof, and also use Earth Fissure Slash when jumping off the roof?
Although they weren't intentionally targeting the players, there were always unfortunate people who happened to be standing under their blades. How could these blockhead guards avoid it? They swung their swords down, scattering even the white light of the players' deaths.
And those who were lucky enough not to directly face the blade could only hate that Earth Fissure Slash was an area attack. The first slash took away most of their health, and before they could escape, the second slash followed closely, and white light rose...
Amidst the screams, Gu Fei looked back and was caught off guard by the tragic scene of white lights blossoming beside the tavern. Facts told us that watching might indeed be dangerous.
Gu Fei continued to run, the guards continued to chase. He led these guys for another stretch, and as he was about to be caught up, Gu Fei slapped the Chasing Wind Badge, activating the badge's teleportation function: bounty mission completed, teleport directly back to the mission issuing office.
Gu Fei already knew the guards' movement speed by heart. After reviewing the map of LinYin City for a day, he could roughly determine the route they would take from their current location to the bounty mission office. Knowing the distance and the speed, he also knew the time, simple physics.
With this time, Gu Fei could do a lot of things. For example, eat an apple to replenish his mana.
The bounty mission board still had a pile of tiny numbers. To be honest, there were some big numbers last night, but they had all been cleared by the Cloud Piercer City mercenaries or the brothers under Water Serpents.
After replenishing his mana, he accepted a mission. He checked the coordinates with his badge, and the route was already planned in his mind. At this time, Gu Fei also had a good understanding of the general location of the system guards.
As the first very deliberate PK-washing operation in history, Gu Fei's plan was perfect. The only difficulty was the first wave. In the first wave, he couldn't predict the movements of the system guards. Gu Fei was worried that they would spot him as soon as he left the resurrection area, making it difficult to shake them off. He originally had no confidence in whether he could complete the first mission while being chased all the way.
Fortunately, thanks to the onlookers, he had bought some time in the first wave, and after successfully completing a mission, he could use the Chasing Wind Badge to create a distance between himself and the system guards. And after each subsequent mission, he could create even more distance.
A simple and wonderful cycle.
Unless the target of the mission happened to be right next to the guards, which would require some more effort.
However, in such a large LinYin City, the probability of such a coincidence was really low. In any case, Gu Fei hadn't encountered it yet. After two hours of hard work, Gu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. His PK value had finally dropped to 29 points. The bounty missions had eliminated 24 points, and the automatic clearing accounted for 1 point every two hours.
Below 30, there would be no more system guards actively pursuing him. He just needed to avoid the fixed guards in the main city and the roaming patrols, which was much easier.
Should he reduce his PK value to zero in one go, or seize the time to catch up with the team that had already set off? After hesitating for a moment, Gu Fei shouted a few times in the mercenary channel.
"Yo, not in jail," Han Jia Gongzi's first reaction was.
"My PK value is already 29," Gu Fei announced his achievement.
"What did you do to the guards?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked. In their minds, Gu Fei's abilities had been infinitely magnified, and they really doubted if there was anything he couldn't defeat. But this time, they overestimated Gu Fei.
"Didn't do anything," Gu Fei answered truthfully, then asked, "How are you guys doing?"
"Us? We're waiting for a boat," Gu Fei could already sense the resentment in Han Jia Gongzi's words.
"A boat to Linshui City," You Ge added.
"We've been waiting for two hours," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"F*ck," Zhan Wu Shang had nothing else to say, so he could only swear.
"Could it be that the boat still hasn't arrived by the time I get there?" Gu Fei chuckled.
"Sorry, I can already see the boat now," Han Jia Gongzi said calmly.
"You should set off immediately. With your speed, you should be able to get here in about an hour, enough to catch the 11 o'clock boat," You Ge said.
"How long does the boat take?" Gu Fei frowned.
"About half an hour, according to the information I have," You Ge said.
"Oh, that's okay, I won't be offline too late," Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll get there right away."
Several hardcore night owls rolled their eyes.
Gu Fei packed his things and stepped out of the LinYin City bounty mission office. He walked slowly on the street, and the system guards who had been following him finally disappeared. Gu Fei breathed easily, feeling that the air in LinYin City was much fresher.
All the way to the city gate, a large group of people seemed to be seeing someone off. Gu Fei casually glanced at them, and as a result, he realized that he knew them. And when those people saw Gu Fei, several pairs of eyes widened, and one person was already clamoring to draw his broadsword, shouting, "I'll kill you!" and slashed at him.
This time, it was Gu Fei's turn to widen his eyes. The person was charging straight at him from a distance of two meters, waving his broadsword wildly and shouting incessantly.
"Uh, too much, right?" Gu Fei smelled the alcohol drifting in the air and looked at the group of people, each with red eyes and faces, leaning on each other and staggering.
A mage stood up again, pointing his staff at Gu Fei and "Lei lei lei lei lei lei"-ing for a long time, then turned to look at the people around him: "What was it again, the lightning thing?"
"Lightning spell...uh, descend!!!" This person pointed at Gu Fei and shouted. Forget that he wasn't a mage, even if he were a lightning mage, adding an "uh" to the incantation would make it impossible for the spell to work.
But it finally reminded the person in front. As the mage raised his staff to cast again, and Gu Fei was preparing to take some measures, someone finally reached out and pulled the mage's arm away, saying, "Forget it!"
"Mang Mang! It's this guy," Lan Yi, the Great Mage, pointed at Gu Fei, finally saying something coherent.
"I know," Mang Mang of Mang Mang nodded. He had already settled things with him back in Cloud Piercer City, so there was no need to continue the entanglement.
Lan Yi's drunken brain was clearly not sharp enough. He swayed and mumbled something indistinctly, but the hand that was about to cast a spell was finally withdrawn. Mang Mang of Mang Mang looked at Gu Fei: "You're going to catch up with them too, right?"
"Yeah!" Gu Fei nodded. "Where are Yue Zai and the others?"
"They left last night. I met up with some friends," Mang Mang of Mang Mang replied.
"You've been meeting up since last night?" Gu Fei sized up the condition of these people, who were drunk to the core. It was believable that they had gone through a long drinking battle.
Sure enough, Mang Mang of Mang Mang rubbed her eyes, and weariness appeared on her face as she nodded and said, "Yeah!"
"Then now, do you still want to continue with the mission?" Gu Fei looked at the people in front of him, who were clearly Mang Mang of Mang Mang's old friends in Yueye City, and it would be reasonable to mingle with them from now on.
"Of course, a promise is a promise, you have to see it through," Mang Mang of Mang Mang said. "Let's go together!"
"Uh, let's go!" Of course, Gu Fei had no reason to refuse.
Mang Mang of Mang Mang said goodbye to her old friends one by one and set off with Gu Fei. Both of them knew the route. Gu Fei had been told by the elites of the Guild, and Mang Mang of Mang Mang was even more exaggerated. Ying Zuka Yue Zai was afraid that she would take the wrong path and not be able to reunite with them, so she had described it to her in detail one hundred and eighty times.
However, there was an extra priest in the group, and unfortunately, Gu Fei's speed was dragged down. It was absolutely impossible to arrive in one hour. As for two hours... Gu Fei looked at the time. If it took two hours to arrive...
"We, it seems we won't make the 11 o'clock boat, right?" Gu Fei said.
"Don't worry! That ferry says there's an offline area, it won't affect you going offline on time," Mang Mang of Mang Mang glanced at him.
"Is that so, that's good," Gu Fei smiled brightly.
