From the moment he went against the current and led the group into the forest, he had followed Young Master Han's plan step by step.
Using one's own people as bait for Gu Fei's AoE spells?
This was only a very, very small part of the trap. With this method, when the first person falls down, the opponent might fall for it. However, after the first group of people is instantly killed by Gu Fei's magic, if another person falls down, just like Against the Current's judgment just now, they will definitely stop the melee classes from going up, and instead choose the ranged classes.
When he went against the flow and made this judgment, he had truly fallen into the trap.
The melee classes didn't dare to get close, and ranged classes were restricted in the forest. No matter how many people Waterflower Mercenary Group had, their combat power had been greatly reduced. This was the main point of Young Master Han's plan.
Using one's own people as bait, Gu Fei would kill. This entire scene was actually the bait, luring him to go against the current and make the decision that Young Master Han was waiting for.
Upstream's decision wasn't wrong either. If this was a normal fight, Waterflower wouldn't have lost even if she had the advantage in numbers.
Unfortunately, he was not facing an ordinary opponent. He was facing an elite team composed of top-notch experts.
Everyone in the group exerted their full strength, causing more splashes to bloom. The people who stirred up the water were at a loss as to what to do. In such a situation, Upstream's emotions were unstable, and he finally made a major mistake in his command, giving Gu Fei an opportunity to take advantage of.
29 people! There were only 29 people left, and most of them were Priests and Knights. The players in charge of fighting in Waterflower Mercenary Group finally had the ultimate configuration of their dreams. Every one of them could now have a professional Priest and a professional Knight behind them. This was a treatment that only the top experts in the guild could receive. However, the players who were enjoying the treatment of experts couldn't bring themselves to laugh.
The forest was silent. Gu Fei, Sword Ghost, and Imperial Divine Ming seemed to have discussed this beforehand and suddenly stopped attacking. Young Master Han was still hiding behind the tree, and Brother You was still in the tree. Only Wushang stood casually in front of the 29 people.
From the start of the battle, Wushang's fall from the tree had been exposed to the public, but he wasn't the one leading the attack. However, Wushang didn't really care. He had killed to his heart's content in today's battle. More importantly, he had earned a lot of points today, which was very rare. He had always been the one with the lowest points among the six members of the mercenary group. Gu Fei, Sword Ghost, and Imperial God Ming were awarded points for killing enemies, while Young Master Han and Brother You were awarded points for non-combat elements. There was a limit to how many enemies he could kill in each battle. The Sword Ghost always gave him one, two, or three points, which was quite pitiful. He actually gave him five points for protecting the young master of the Han Family and Brother You.
What a shame! This was simply a disgrace. The number one Warrior in the game had his own pride, yet he had fallen to become a bodyguard in this mercenary group. Zhan Wushang had been looking forward to a chance to perform, and he finally got it today.
Fortunately, Gu Fei had saved him at the start of the match. Otherwise, he would have been ganged up on and eliminated. Zhan Wushang shuddered at the thought of it. If he was killed, he wouldn't even have a reason to get five points as a bodyguard.
Zhan Wushang was letting his imagination run wild! He had already disregarded the 29 people in front of him.
The young master of the Han Family also leisurely walked out from behind the tree, smiling as he looked upstream.
Against the Current also smiled bitterly. He was at his wit's end. Today's loss wasn't like the guild battle. That loss had been a fluke, and no one was willing to accept it. But today's loss was a complete and utter defeat. Even if they didn't want to accept it, they had to accept it.
Just as he was about to say a few pleasantries, the air in front of him suddenly rustled, and the branches and leaves suddenly parted to the sides. A figure had already sprung out, drifting toward Upstream at lightning speed.
But the people at Water Flower saw it clearly, and they all came to a realization. "Wow, so it's a steel wire!"
The person who flew out was, of course, Gu Fei. He was holding a rope in his hand, the top end of which was tied to some tree. He flew over like Tarzan. Everyone saw this, and when they connected it to Gu Fei's ghost-like movements, they immediately felt like they had found a suitable scientific theory.
"Dual Flame Flash, flash!" Gu Fei didn't just fly, he also used a high-level skill. Having just eaten the fruit, he was full of mana. After using Dual Flame Flash, he didn't move it much, but just pointed it downwards. With this swing, Dual Flame Flash became a flaming dragon, flying over the heads of the Waterflower mercenaries who were still marveling at his steel wire technique. Those who were unlucky enough to be on Gu Fei's flight path were instantly killed by him one by one.
25！ Another four people from the Waterflower mercenaries were gone.
But Gu Fei wasn't a real Tarzan. He didn't train his martial arts skills like flying around trees. When Gu Fei returned to the highest point, he found that there was no place for him to land. So, Gu Fei could only follow the law of conservation of energy, turning potential energy back into kinetic energy and flying back.
This infuriated Waterflower's men.
This was because all the martial arts, science fiction, and even the animal world that he usually came into contact with would use such a flying posture. After a swing, he would definitely land on another tree in a very natural and unrestrained manner. No one expected Gu Fei to be so unscrupulous. After flying out, he couldn't find a place to land, so he flew back without a backbone.
If he kept going back and forth like this, wouldn't it be like he was on a swing?
Swings were the main prop used in romantic dramas to send flirtatious messages. Right now, everyone was acting out a hot-blooded fight scene, so it was obviously very out of place. Gu Fei also felt that he couldn't keep on swinging like this, so he made a prompt decision. As he swung back, he held up his sword and chanted, "Teleport, move!"
The advantage of an instant skill was that there was no need for a pose. He could use it whenever he wanted.
As soon as Gu Fei finished chanting, he disappeared from the end of the rope. The people at Water Flower were still looking up, savoring the feeling. When they saw that Gu Fei had disappeared, they all looked up at the tree, wondering if he had flown up again, and when no one was paying attention, he would grab a rope and drop down. Suddenly, a scream came from behind them. Everyone hurriedly turned around to see Gu Fei dancing with his sword behind them. Not only him, but the thief had also appeared out of nowhere. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was focused elsewhere, he took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The two of them killed two people at lightning speed, then disappeared and found a random tree to hide in. With the guidance of the young master of the Han Family, who was extremely good at maps and coordinates, the places he pointed out were definitely in the blind spots of everyone else. Poor Imperial Shenming, who had no sense of direction, couldn't enjoy the same treatment as the young master of the Han Family. He could only pitifully lie on the tree and sneakily shoot arrows.
Sword Ghoul and Gu Fei, one in stealth and the other in teleportation, would suddenly appear as soon as their cooldowns were up. They would quietly appear, take two or three people's lives, then disappear again.
Above them, Imperial Shenming would shoot arrows from time to time. On the other side, Wushang would carry his two greatswords and make a feint of charging. The number of people at Water Flower decreased, and those who hadn't died weren't far from having a mental breakdown. The only thing they gained was a deeper understanding of the cooldown of Gu Fei's teleportation.
After a few tries, Water Flower's people couldn't come up with any good countermeasures. They could only watch as their numbers decreased one by one. When there were only five people left, the young master of the Han Family once again floated out from behind the tree. He looked at Upstream and smiled, "Forget it?"
Against the Current sighed and squeezed out a smile. "See you later!"
The young master of the Han Family nodded. Upstream gestured to the remaining four people on his side. All four of them had tired expressions on their faces, but they didn't raise any objections and simply left.
In the semi-finals of the Mercenary Competition, the six young master's elite group had won once again, achieving a 'perfect' score.
Having killed to this extent, just the experience and gold reward alone were already very generous. Needless to say, the six members of the elite group were naturally overjoyed. However, on the surface, they still maintained a calm expression. This was because the moment they stepped out of the teleportation point, Upstream had been waiting for them!
They couldn't help but give the same old compliments. Upstream's intention to win them over was too obvious. He was just short of saying that they would all be his masters once they entered his guild.
But at times like this, the pretentiousness of these experts was even more apparent.
Imperial Shenming was pretending to be aloof and disdainful.
Wushang was pretending to be low-key, so humble that it made people feel disgusted.
Brother You was a little desolate. He knew that he wasn't that strong yet. The other party was so enthusiastic towards him mainly because of the others.
Sword Ghost's reply was more serious, "Let's not think about this for now."
The young master of the Han Family didn't say a word. He was a member of Drinking and Singing in the first place …
Gu Fei, the person they were most looking forward to, was avoiding the topic and waiting for the others to express their opinions. Only then did he put on a helpless expression, looking like he was going with the flow.
Upstream also knew that forcing things would only cause annoyance, so he didn't say much. He laughed and said, "Then, I'll look forward to working together in the future. If there are any difficult missions, I'll definitely ask for your help!"
Mercenary groups were obviously open for business. No matter how bad the young master of the Han Family was, he couldn't reject good intentions that came knocking on his door. He naturally laughed and said, "Since we're so familiar with each other, of course we'll help if there's anything!"
It was rather strange for a match to be lost in such a joyous manner.
There was great harmony before the battle, and it was still great harmony after the battle. This competition finally ended in harmony.
