Chapter 184 The Archer's Miscalculation

That sneaky archer looked shifty and was truly insidious. After everyone heard about the treasure chest, they followed Gu Fei and Yue Zhong Yu in a straightforward manner, but this guy probably occupied a high vantage point, watching from afar. He seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack with cold arrows, which was not to Gu Fei's liking at all.

For such a person, Gu Fei wanted to use the same method to teach him a lesson, letting him know how it felt to be ambushed.

The wind hadn't stopped, and the rustling of the grass completely covered Gu Fei's footsteps. Gu Fei lowered his body and slowly advanced through the grass, his eyes fixed on the archer's figure. This guy jogged up the hill, changed his position, and immediately drew his bow and arrow again, motionless.

He's got the look! Gu Fei secretly praised, noting the stillness before action. But this was for the best. If he weren't so focused, and kept looking around, Gu Fei would have worried about being discovered!

So, stepping to the sound of the wind, Gu Fei approached the other party step by step, finally arriving behind him. The archer didn't notice at all, continuing to stare at the hillside below. Gu Fei followed his line of sight and saw the wooden stake with the treasure chest, as well as the bushes where he and Fei Lian had been lying.

A sly smile appeared on Gu Fei's lips, and the staff in his hand was raised high, swinging down with a "whoosh."

The sound of the wind was too abnormal. The archer finally noticed, but before he could turn around, the staff had struck his carotid artery. There was an acupoint near the carotid artery that could cause unconsciousness without much force. The game's simulation was very realistic, but this strike in the game was based on the character's stats. Gu Fei didn't believe his attack power was enough to cause unconsciousness, so after the staff hit, he immediately followed up with a kick, wanting to knock the person down and prevent him from getting up again.

Unexpectedly, the person was standing on a hillside. He heard the movement and was turning around when he was kicked. His body tilted and he fell to the ground, then rolled down the hill with momentum. His head hit countless trees along the way. Gu Fei was worried that this guy would become an idiot by the time he rolled to the bottom of the hill. But seeing his momentum, what was more worrying was that if he didn't stop him, he would roll into the lake. He quickly opened his friends list and sent a message to Xiao Yu: "The person is coming over, catch him."

"Who?" Xiao Yu asked.

"The enemy who shot you," Gu Fei said.

Then he saw Xiao Yu pop her head out from behind the wooden stake. Gu Fei waved at her, but seeing that she didn't react at all, he quickly sent another message: "Just stand there and wait, he'll be there soon."

As he spoke, Gu Fei quickly headed down the hillside.

Xiao Yu stood by the wooden stake, eagerly waiting. Sure enough, after a while, she saw something rolling down. Could this be the "person" Gu Fei was talking about? Xiao Yu calmed herself, and after seeing the thing clearly, she confirmed that it was a person. She jumped over, raised her leg, and stepped on the person, then sent a message to Gu Fei: "Received."

The guy being stepped on didn't react at all. It seemed that his head had hit trees all the way down, and he had passed out.

"Okay!" Gu Fei replied while quickly approaching. Xiao Yu was looking in that direction, and when she saw another thing rolling towards her, she was shocked: "There's another one!"

She had just been sniped, and although she had rested behind the wooden stake for a while, her health recovery was limited. Now that she encountered another enemy, she was a little lacking in confidence. Fei Lian, seeing the movement on this side, had also emerged from the bushes. Seeing that there was help, Xiao Yu didn't care who it was and immediately shouted, "Come quickly, there's another person."

Fei Lian was naturally surprised, and quickly drew his bow and arrow, rushing over. He raised his eyes and saw a figure rushing down the hillside, and immediately released an arrow.

Gu Fei had rushed to a distance where he could see their faces. He was about to greet them when he realized that the two of them hadn't recognized him because the light in the forest was a bit dim. Fei Lian raised his hand and shot an arrow at him.

Gu Fei quickly dodged and grabbed the arrow, angrily saying, "It's me!"

"Oh!" Xiao Yu recognized Gu Fei's voice and quickly stopped Fei Lian: "Don't shoot, it's one of us."

Fei Lian had no intention of shooting a second arrow at all. After the first arrow was shot, he didn't expect the other party to catch it with his hand. He was stunned!

Gu Fei rushed out of the woods and came to the two of them, casually returning the arrow in his hand to Fei Lian, and smiling at the two of them: "It's okay."

Fei Lian blankly took it, a little at a loss. Xiao Yu didn't notice these details at all, just excitedly shouting, "Treasure chest, treasure chest." Then she hugged the treasure chest, "The mission is finally complete."

"Mission?" Fei Lian asked blankly.

"Yeah, our guild mission, to retrieve the stolen treasure chest." Xiao Yu raised the treasure chest high.

Fei Lian looked dejected. If he had known it was someone else's mission item, why would he have come to steal it? Now he remembered that his intentions were also not good. It was only because of the sudden appearance of the archer that he stood with these two guys. Now that the problem was solved, he... Fei Lian thought, taking a step back.

But Gu Fei obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and Xiao Yu was oblivious and had long forgotten about it. As a result, the two of them didn't pay attention to his existence at all. Seeing that neither of them was hostile to him, Fei Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes began to wander over the guy under Xiao Yu's feet.

This guy was an archer, an archer with top-quality equipment, and he happened to be an archer. Fei Lian swallowed.

"Fei Lian, aren't you an archer? See if you can use this guy's equipment," Gu Fei said.

"What?" Fei Lian was shocked. He couldn't have heard wrong, right? Although these two weren't archers, this was top-quality equipment! Selling it on the market and buying the top-quality equipment they needed for their professions would be the same!

Fei Lian looked at Gu Fei and then at Xiao Yu, but neither of them was paying attention to him.

Xiao Yu was holding the treasure chest and studying it, trying to open it without success.

"Why can't I open it!" Xiao Yu complained, while holding the treasure chest and smashing it against the wooden stake twice.

"Don't smash it, let me see." Gu Fei also went over to study the treasure chest. Fei Lian was petrified. Were these two guys really not interested in top-quality equipment and prepared to give it all to him?

The archer lying on the ground had long been kicked aside by Xiao Yu. Fei Lian carefully squatted down, approaching. He looked at the two again, still studying the treasure chest!

Fei Lian finally felt relieved and boldly turned the guy lying on the ground over, first reaching for the bow he was still holding.

"It's probably a mission item, just a box that can't be opened." Gu Fei couldn't find any mechanism on the box after a long time, and came to this conclusion. He turned around and saw Fei Lian turning the person over.

"Wait..." Gu Fei said.

I knew it! Fei Lian was exasperated. If you didn't want to give it, you should have said so earlier! Why make me happy first, then let me down! This guy was torturing him in a roundabout way. He thought he was magnanimous! Fei Lian was full of displeasure, but after all, the spoils belonged to others, and he had nothing to say. He had no choice but to retreat to the side with a dark face.

"I know this person..." Gu Fei said with a wry smile.

"Ah?" Fei Lian was surprised.

"Yu Tian Shen Ming," Gu Fei said.

"That name sounds familiar..." Fei Lian showed that he was also a veteran player.

"He used to play a mage," Gu Fei said.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Fei Lian nodded repeatedly, "There is such a person, is it him?"

Gu Fei nodded.

"Let's wake him up first! Xiao Yu, carry him to the river," Gu Fei said.

"Why don't you carry him?" Xiao Yu was still studying the treasure chest.

"I can't carry him," Gu Fei said with a wry smile. Saying such a thing made Gu Fei feel ashamed. Fortunately, it was a game! Gu Fei comforted himself.

"Hmph, I have to do it." Xiao Yu walked over triumphantly, picked up Yu Tian Shen Ming with one hand, and asked as she walked, "You said you know this person?"

Why is this girl always slow on the uptake! Gu Fei nodded as he pondered.

"Then he still shot us!" Xiao Yu said.

"It might be a misunderstanding, let's wake him up first." As Gu Fei spoke, the three of them arrived at the lakeside. Xiao Yu threw Yu Tian Shen Ming on the ground, and Gu Fei scooped up lake water and splashed it on his face. Fei Lian then realized a major problem: Yu Tian Shen Ming was actually unconscious, how did Gu Fei do it? There didn't seem to be any skills that caused a stun state. Even if there were, the stun state in the game was not the same as a human being fainting. It was just that the system forcibly prevented the character from moving.

After splashing water for a while, Yu Tian Shen Ming finally woke up. He slowly opened his eyes, suddenly came to his senses, and rolled over on the spot, already busy drawing his bow and arrow. As a result, the water flowing into his nostrils took effect, causing him to sneeze several times.

"Stop it, it's me," Gu Fei said.

"Ah! Qian Li!" Yu Tian Shen Ming also recognized Gu Fei.

"What's going on?" He put away his bow and arrow, stood up, and reached out to touch the bumps on his head, as well as the neck that had been hit by Gu Fei's staff. The pain was still there.

"Could it be a sap, there are already level 36 thieves!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming was shocked. Players like him were already rushing day and night, but they hadn't reached level 31 yet. The sudden appearance of a level 36 character was alarming!

"Ahem..." Gu Fei coughed dryly, not answering this question, but instead asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm doing a mission, here to guard the treasure chest." Saying that, he saw the treasure chest in Xiao Yu's hand and said with a wry smile, "What are you holding it for? It's a mission item, there's nothing inside. Only players who have received the 'Retrieve the Treasure Chest' mission can use it."

As a result, Xiao Yu not only didn't put it down, but held it even tighter.

"Could it be that you..." Yu Tian Shen Ming was stunned.

"What exactly is going on? Is this game's mission designed to pit two groups of players against each other?" Although Gu Fei hadn't been exposed to many online games, he knew that aside from guild wars, there were no game missions that forced players to PK.

As soon as Gu Fei finished speaking, Xiao Yu was already shouting, "Oh no! Sister Qi Yue and Sister Luo Luo are dead!"
