Inside the tavern, Broken Arrow and the others didn't know what to do. Ye Xiaowu was killed as soon as he left the Priest Academy. It seemed like he had been targeted. There was no need to worry about who it was. The key was that he definitely couldn't send money over now.
"Let's go!" Broken Arrow gritted his teeth and led everyone out of the tavern.
"Eh, we can leave without paying? Can we? "Gu Fei kept mumbling behind them. The veterans were annoyed to death.
The tavern attendant didn't stop them. He just saw the veterans walking out, so he stood by the door and loudly announced the punishment for not paying for drinks and not paying for things that were broken. Gu Fei listened carefully because he felt that he needed to know the rules.
He didn't know if the system guards teleported here, but Broken Arrow and the others were intercepted by a large group of system guards as soon as they left the tavern. Gu Fei also became a spectator. He squeezed into the crowd of other players and came to watch the show. Normal players hadn't seen such a large group of system guards before, but Gu Fei had. Back in the Luminous Village, they were trampled by a group of guards like this. Although the veterans were tough, they probably couldn't do anything to this group of city guards.
Everyone was waiting to watch the show. Who knew that the city guards didn't have any intention of making a move. Broken Arrow and the others were also very calm. They didn't even take out their weapons. They already knew the rules from Ye Xiaowu. Only a life for a life! Everyone just owed a small debt, so they didn't have to pay with their lives. The system guards were just a symbolic gesture. The owner felt that it wasn't logical to empty the players' pockets out of nowhere!
The guards announced the rules again, giving all the players a deeper understanding of the tavern's rules. After that, they began to forcefully collect fines. To make it look real, the guards came to grab people and directly searched their pockets. The veterans still didn't resist. Ye Xiaowu told them that resistance wouldn't be good. This was all to make it look real. Everyone just had to cooperate. After all, the system guards wouldn't steal anything else from their pockets.
More than a dozen people's pockets were all searched, and then the system guards announced how much fines they had forcefully collected, how much money was left, and how they would collect it. The players' horizons were truly widened.
After nearly half an hour, the system soldiers finally finished their mission and left. The veterans were finally free, and they hurriedly rushed towards the Priest Academy. Gu Fei hurriedly jumped out to stop them, shaking his head. "If we had known this would be the case, we wouldn't have had to wait so long. I thought the system would force me to stay in the tavern if I didn't pay! "
"Let's spar again in the future when we have time. We are in a hurry to save people." Water Breaking Arrow said with a dark face.
Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you confused? Sparring is just a formality. Aren't we enemies? "
The veterans looked at each other in dismay. Originally, they had the advantage in numbers and felt that they were the ones taking the initiative. They could fight and retreat whenever they wanted. How did the situation reverse now? These two people dared to take the initiative to challenge them and not let them go?
"Don't talk about me. If I let you guys go now, the audience wouldn't agree." Gu Fei said.
"Well said!" There was a round of applause. The onlookers clapped until their hands were red. They liked Gu Fei for being so considerate of their emotions.
"Thank you, thank you." Gu Fei cupped his hands in thanks to the crowd.
Water Breaking Arrow and the others had a straightforward style. They didn't want to say anything more in this situation.
"Cover, retreat." With a single sentence, the veteran soldiers calmed down from their earlier anger at Gu Fei and Gu Xian. They quickly adjusted themselves to their combat state and split into two groups. The Thieves, Archers, and mobile players began to retreat, while the rest stayed behind to deal with Gu Fei and Gu Xian.
But Gu Fei had already seen through their intentions. He raised his sword and waved it, creating a wall of electricity to block the path of those who wanted to retreat. He strode towards them.
The veterans were depressed! It was this surreal thing again. They were getting more and more annoyed with this kind of thing.
"Can we break through it?" The veterans had never seen a wall of electricity before and wanted to try.
"No, we will be paralyzed." Water Breaking Arrow hurriedly said. After all, he had been with Ye Xiaowu for a long time and knew a lot about Gu Fei. "This is his wall of electricity."
The veterans had actually been taught a lesson and knew that Gu Fei knew a thing called "wall of electricity". But without seeing it, who knew what it was? These uncles had zero knowledge of the game. Even something as common as Fireball couldn't be imagined if you didn't show it to them. They were even worse than Gu Fei when he first entered the game.
"Go around." Sniper God walked to the wall with his hands in front of him. The others understood and rushed over to step on his palms. Sniper God raised his hand and the person used the momentum to jump up. He climbed up the wall in two or three steps. The whole process took less than two seconds. Then the second person, the third …
"Aiya, professional!!" Gu Fei sighed in admiration. The other side had a total of five Archers and two Thieves. By the time Gu Fei rushed over, four of them had already climbed up. The fifth person had a bit of a problem. He was a middle-aged man who was out of shape. When he tried to climb up, he was blocked by his beer belly. His beer belly was very elastic, and he almost bounced off. Fortunately, Broken Arrow and the others had already grabbed him and dragged him up.
This person felt ashamed. The others also lamented, "Machine food is not delicious!"
"Sigh, I have to socialize every day." The person sighed. Sniper God and the other person couldn't go up in time. He waved his hand at them, "You guys go first."
With that, Sniper God ran and pulled out his crossbow and fired at Gu Fei. To be honest, he wasn't in the mood to use the crossbow. He felt that it was too slow, but there was no other way. What else was more like a gun than this?
Water Breaking Arrow and the others did not hesitate and immediately retreated along the roof. Gu Fei didn't bother with the five that got lost. It was a pity that he only managed to block two people with Wall of Electricity. Wall of Electricity was the spell that consumed the most mana that Gu Fei currently had. He had used up almost half of it.
The other veterans also scattered and found cover. They pulled out their crossbows and fired at Gu Fei and Gu Xian.
Gu Xian was at a loss. He was still waiting for people to rush over and fight with him. In the end, they all scattered in all directions and started a gun fight.
"What's the meaning of this? We were hiding in the tavern, but now they're hiding? These people are quite vengeful and petty! "Gu Xian said to Gu Fei.
The two of them weren't close. Gu Xian shouted, and the veterans could hear him. Naturally, he was suffering from internal injuries again! We're such a professional street fight, how did it become petty? Who's holding a grudge!!!
In a moment of anger, everyone's firepower was focused on Gu Xian. Pa pa pa, they fired randomly.
The veterans naturally had their reasons for moving around. The range of the crossfire was also quite wide. If they really had guns in their hands, even eight Gu Xian wouldn't have been able to escape. But in the end, they were harmed by the game. In reality, no matter who it was, once the trigger was pulled, the speed of the bullets would be exactly the same. Even if it was a handgun, the speed of the bullets would be faster than the speed of sound. In shoot-em-up movies, the heroes would often listen to the sound to determine where the bullets were. Wasn't this ridiculous? That was a distance of twenty to thirty meters. The bullets were faster than the sound of sound, and the head would explode before the sound arrived.
In the game, the crossbow's firing speed was far slower than the handgun's firing speed. Because of the different classes, attributes, and equipment, there was a difference in firing speed. To make up for this difference, the veterans had to revise their coordination. But at the moment, they hadn't practiced to this extent. Everything was still based on the habits they had when they were soldiers. After not playing for so many years, it was inevitable that they would be rusty. In addition to the differences in the game's settings, there were many flaws in their teamwork. The crossfire that they fired felt like it was a mess and full of loopholes. One by one, they watched as Gu Xian dodged and dodged the firepower and ran behind cover to hide.
Then, they saw the kid suddenly raise his hand and shout, "I'm not coming out. If you want to fight me, come at me yourself."
"F * ck, you're too lazy!" Gu Fei was depressed. He was still entangled with the Sniper God and the other Archer who hadn't escaped in time. It was a different situation when the two of them held the crossbow. They were of the same class, had the same attributes, and had similar equipment. Even if their firing speed wasn't as fast as guns, at least when they worked together, they wouldn't end up in a situation where one of them had already hit the target while the other was still halfway. The two of them kept a distance from Gu Fei and attacked him from both sides, leaving Gu Fei at a loss. The two of them were Archers who weren't any slower than him! He couldn't catch up to them just by running.
Gu Fei could only dodge the attacks of the two of them while attacking the others. He wanted to find a close combat opponent. He saw Mountain Axe hiding behind a pile of wooden barrels and thought to himself, "This guy is passionate about fighting, let's go find him."
However, Mountain Axe's thoughts were different from Gu Fei's. He was passionate about fighting because it was the method he was best at killing targets. It was the most powerful weapon for him to complete his mission. However, he knew that this weapon couldn't complete his mission, so of course he wouldn't use it. If he fought with Gu Fei now, it would make the other comrades who wanted to shoot at Gu Fei more cautious. So, when he saw Gu Fei moving towards him, he didn't think twice and ran away.
"Sigh, why are you running too …" Gu Fei was depressed! He was pulling his hair out! He thought he had found a bunch of good opponents to practice with, but these people didn't seem to be passionate about this sport! They just liked to hide and shoot from afar … It seemed like Old Man's words were right. The most effective way to defeat an opponent was with a gun! This group of people who had killed on the battlefield clearly understood this principle.
If it was a simple race, Gu Fei wouldn't have a problem catching up to Mountain Axe. However, the others weren't just for show. Due to the game's setting, their firepower coordination was a bit problematic. However, even if they couldn't kill Gu Fei, they could still create a lot of obstacles. Under these circumstances, Gu Fei had no way of catching up to Mountain Axe. Turning around to chase after the others was obviously the only result. He wanted to use Teleportation to get close to one of them, but the veterans in the tavern had been tormented by this skill. It was an insult to their intelligence to not think of Gu Fei's method now. Teleportation of five to six meters! Everyone remembered this number. They wouldn't give Gu Fei the chance to get close to anyone.
Gu Fei was running all over the field. He hadn't been able to use a single skill for a long time, and he had even been hit by two arrows. Fortunately, they weren't shot by the two archers, so the damage was low and it wasn't a big deal. However, his mood was very similar to that of the veterans in the tavern.
"Control the situation, retreat in order!" Sniper God was one of the most accomplished shooters. He had completely experienced everyone's firepower coordination. If they wanted to play well in the game, they needed to practice together. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have listened to Ye Xiaowu's nonsense. He said that every class had to cooperate in the game, so it was best to pick a spot for every class … If they were all Archers now, the situation would be much better. Although they had control of the situation, it would be very difficult to deal with this Thousand Miles Drunk. He was only stubbornly looking for someone to kill. If he gave up and wanted to leave, everyone's firepower wouldn't be able to stop him. There was a difference in mobility! This guy was quite mobile. If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen Archers. What a waste of these guys' skills … Sniper God muttered again.
The veterans obeyed and began to retreat, starting from the one furthest from Gu Fei. The first to retreat were the two Priests. One of them was Xiao Chen, who had been killed by the Sword Specter. As soon as he turned around, he saw a person floating behind the other Priest like a ghost.
"Old Wu, behind you!!!" Xiao Chen shouted immediately.
The Priest called Old Wu didn't have time to turn around. His head was pressed down by the person behind him, and he was sent flying into the wall. Old Wu's skills were even worse than Xiao Chen's. This guy used to be a cookhouse soldier. Xiao Chen would sometimes go on missions with the team, but there was no need to bring someone to cook for them. Therefore, Old Wu's fighting skills were really not worth mentioning. But this time, he was killed, and he didn't even have the time to turn around to see who it was.
When the others turned around, Old Wu was already gone. Gu Xian was standing there happily. Everyone was going crazy. "Weren't you hiding there and not coming out?"
"You're not young anymore. Haven't you been tricked before?" Gu Xian said disdainfully.
Gu Fei sweated. This was Gu Xian's distraction technique. When he was young, he often fell for it and got tricked out of many extra meals.
"Aren't you guys in a hurry to get to the Priest Academy? Isn't this the fastest method? "Gu Xian smiled as he rushed toward Xiao Chen. The veterans only prevented Gu Fei from getting within five meters of them. Of course, the distance between them was not a problem. Xiao Chen and Old Wu were already preparing to retreat. The two of them were very close to each other, and Gu Xian immediately rushed over. The others came to his rescue with arrows. Gu Xian didn't hide anymore. He took a few arrows and dragged Xiao Chen over to use him as a shield. The rest of the firepower was focused on Xiao Chen. Then, he hugged Xiao Chen and threw him against the wall. Just like that, the two Priests took an express delivery to the Priest Academy.
"F * ck!" Sniper God jumped up angrily and started firing at Gu Xian. Gu Xian ducked his head and hid again. He didn't forget to shout again, "I'm not coming out this time."
Did anyone still believe him? Not only did the veterans not believe it, but they also organized people to encircle and annihilate Gu Xian. Old Thunder and Big Thunder, the two grenadiers, attacked again. As a result, the pile of sacks at the foot of the wall began to shake. Gu Xian, this kid, had crawled into the pile of sacks. He couldn't reach the sky or the ground, and his magic was wasted.
"You're trapped in your own trap!" Sniper God was amused by his actions. He continued to fire at Gu Fei while moving toward Gu Xian's hiding place.
There was a pile of sacks, but Gu Xian was nowhere to be seen. Everyone knew that he had piled himself up in the middle, but then things got awkward again. This was a game! These sacks couldn't be damaged by magic, and arrows couldn't penetrate them either. If they wanted to attack him, they would have to move the sacks.
The veterans communicated in the channel, and the four of them temporarily put down the crossbows in their hands and surrounded them. As they approached, the sacks suddenly exploded. Gu Xian punched and kicked the sacks out one by one, using them as hidden weapons. The four people who went up were at a loss. Gu Xian leaped and kicked the wall, using the same method as the Hundred Eras Strategist to fly directly to the top of the wall. He sighed and said, "Can't you just stay here for a while?"
Sniper God was furious. He ordered everyone to open fire, but Gu Xian, who was already on the top of the wall, took a few steps back and disappeared.
The four comrades who were in the sacks were indignant. They immediately went forward to build a human ladder, and two of them were sent up together. As soon as their heads appeared, Gu Xian appeared again. He lifted his left foot and kicked one down. The other was so shocked that he didn't want to go up, but Gu Xian reached out and grabbed him. Instead of pushing him down, he pulled him up and threw him over his shoulder onto the roof.
The people under the roof didn't know what happened after that. They only saw a white light rise from the roof.
The firepower was too concentrated on Gu Xian, and Gu Fei quickly closed the distance. The veterans couldn't react in time. Gu Fei directly teleported in front of one of them and raised his hand to strike. The veterans were still quite skilled, so they weren't completely defenseless. With a flash, they managed to dodge the sword.
Gu Fei had expected this. He had purposely let him dodge the strike. His left hand had already formed a Lightning Palm, and he slammed it into the gap left by the man's dodge.
With a push of his palm, lightning was released, but the man did not die immediately. The pushing effect of the Lightning Palm took effect at this moment, and the man was involuntarily sent flying backward, directly crashing into a brother who was standing not far behind him. Gu Fei reacted quickly. He used his remaining mana to quickly add another Lightning Spell. The man didn't even know if he could stand still after being sent flying. How could he dodge this? Lightning descended from the sky, and it was another white light.
At this point, Gu Fei had used up all his mana. Seeing that there was a good corner next to him, he immediately dashed in. He grabbed a fruit and started eating, while poking his head out to see what the veterans were doing.
At this point, Gu Fei and Gu Xian were no longer in their line of sight. According to the principle of Gu Fei and Gu Xian taking the initiative and they being passive, this was a good opportunity for them to immediately head to the Priest Academy. But after such a blow, Gu Fei felt that they might impulsively stay and continue fighting. But when he poked his head out, he saw that the other side was retreating in an orderly manner.
"As expected of a professional. Very calm!" Gu Fei praised. He silently looked at the route they were retreating, and didn't jump out to stop them. He seriously finished eating the apple. The advantage of people with less mana was that they had less time to recover their mana. Gu Fei didn't need to be perfect. He just needed to replenish his mana before he moved. According to his calculations, although he started a little late, he still had time to go around these people and intercept them again. Who asked him to be an all-agility mage?
※ ※ ※
【Butterfly Knot: Recently, people keep asking me about Gu Fei's mana and the consumption of spells. I feel that the article has already introduced it many times! But since people keep asking, I will calculate it for everyone. "Heaven's Descending Fire Wheel" and "Cinder Tree" area-of-effect spells consume more mana than "Double Flame Flash". But because Gu Fei used "Double Flame Flash" frequently and the other two rarely, his "Double Flame Flash" consumes a lot of mana. It is equivalent to an area-of-effect spell (Because of his high proficiency, Gu Fei's "Double Flame Flash" is much more powerful than normal mages). So Gu Fei's mana is enough for four "Double Flame Flash" or four area-of-effect spells. The remaining bit is enough for a small spell like lightning or fireball. In addition, "Wall of Electricity" is equivalent to two area-of-effect spells. Teleportation has also been introduced in the article. Different mana consumption, different teleportation distance. Even the largest distance requires almost half of the mana, so the mana consumption of this skill will vary according to the situation. Well, that's about it.】
