Just as everyone was discussing nervously, Gu Fei continued to harass them. Lightning was a guaranteed hit, and no one could dodge it. Casting two AoE spells at the same time was quite troublesome. Now that Gu Fei was near, everyone was running around like headless chickens, trying to avoid being roasted on the fire.
Gu Fei was lucky enough to experience a full-strength Mage for the first time. Invincible in melee combat and returning to ranged combat, Upstream wanted to cry but had no tears. Someone suggested that the Rogues and Archers go back to cut off his retreat, and then the big team would close in and the Mages would kill him. But the Rogues and Archers shook their heads like a rattle drum. Their reasoning was realistic: if they could stop him, they would have done so already. Why would they need to teach them?
"I did, but not as much as him. It's far from enough." Some of the classes that had added some Agility were worried.
"We have to take a few more steps, or else we won't be able to make it."
The Mages lined up and moved forward.
Even as they struggled, Singing to Wine still maintained the pace of retreat. They were about to reach the end of the hill and reach the plains. Along the way, they had lost about ten people. Their losses weren't big, but the problem was that they couldn't do anything to Thousand Miles Drunk. Upstream hoped to hear a voice. He hoped that someone would come out and make a compromise, but there wasn't …
The big team didn't care about them. The Mages listened to Upstream's call and stood at the front. Everyone raised their staffs high, waiting for Gu Fei to come and cook him with a sea of fire. In the end, when Gu Fei was about thirty meters away from them, he stopped moving.
As expected of the guild leader, Upstream still maintained his calm even when the Mages were about to vomit blood. He shot a chain of fireballs into the sky and sent a message, "Advance!!!"
Upstream had an idea and quickly began to implement it. He gave the order in the guild. The meaning was that if Thousand Miles Drunk didn't advance, the magic circle wouldn't be able to unleash its power. They would pretend to retreat, and he would definitely advance. The Mages would hide behind the formation, and once they were in range, the magic circle would be destroyed.
"He'll throw spells while running." The Warriors and Priests shook their heads.
"That means to hit him with the magic circle, it'll take six meters longer than it would for a normal person …"
"Yes."
"Should we team up with Warriors and Priests to attract aggro?" someone suggested.
Compromise? Truthfully speaking, this was something that could only be thought of from the guild's perspective. In all fairness, even if they died, they wouldn't lose a level, so there was nothing to be afraid of. That was why even though everyone had been bullied so badly, they were still discussing how to deal with Thousand Leagues Drunk. Most of the ordinary players weren't like Counter Current or Fan Ziling, who didn't consider that they would be unable to progress smoothly in War City if they were entangled by this Boss. At this time, they were already immersed in researching how to deal with this Boss, unable to extricate themselves.
"Fire Tree Thousand Layers Flames!!! Run!!! "Everyone ran, but the slower ones were still burned. At this distance of thirty meters, Gu Fei's sneaky casting of spells was really not easy to notice. Those who were injured by the fire were also hit by Gu Fei's lightning, and one of the Mages actually died. The Mages went crazy. At this distance, Gu Fei could hit them, and they could also hit Gu Fei. Thus, they all chanted their spells, but with so many of them moving together, they were too big of a target. Not to mention that even though there were many of them, they couldn't set up an array to cut off Gu Fei's escape route, because Gu Fei was in the range of the Mages. At this time, when he saw the other side attack, he quickly retreated. That area of effect spell ignited, and the place where Gu Fei had been standing was abnormally dense with flames. Who knew how many Mages had cast spells in that position, and if Gu Fei was hit, he would undoubtedly die, but the problem was that he couldn't. At this time, he circled to the edge of the flames, raised his hand, and secretly cast a Heavenly Flaming Wheel. The Mages counterattacked, and Gu Fei ran again …
And according to the commander of the pursuit team, Fan Ziling, if they had a Priest to heal them at that time, they wouldn't have been so utterly defeated. But the problem was that they didn't have one, and Thousand Leagues Drunk was erratic, making it difficult for them to figure out his position. Moreover, his eyes were sharp, and everyone wanted to take turns eating bread, but in the end, he would attack whoever ate the bread.
"What do you mean by that?" Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Gu Fei suddenly closed in. Pa! Another bolt of lightning struck the person from before.
"I think it's more reliable for the Thieves to sneak behind him. You guys don't have to take the initiative to attack, just stand behind him. When our Mages move forward, he will retreat. At this time, you guys block him. As long as you have a few seconds, our Mages can take a few more steps forward, and the formation will fall down …"
Thus, someone suggested to split up and form a large encirclement, and then slowly shrink back, but this was also rejected. This was a hillside, and Thousand Leagues Drunk was looking down from above. With so many people's movements, they could clearly see the enemy's eyes. How would they have the time to make such a large movement? Would they foolishly stay in place and wait for the enemy to surround them?
"What about the Archers? What about gathering the Archers and firing at the same time?? "Someone suddenly suggested.
If the enemy doesn't advance, we will advance! Everyone thought so, and so the enemy retreated.
"Abnormal … too abnormal …" Everyone muttered to themselves, saying the same sentence.
At the end of the report, Fan Ziling earnestly pointed out to Go Upstream: With Thousand Leagues Drunk's awareness and skill, he has the ability to drag them down. Fan Ziling reminded Go Upstream. They didn't lose a level in the city battle, so they could afford to drag it out, but Thousand Leagues Drunk could afford to drag it out even more, because he was just one person with no mission or burden. If he wanted to cause trouble for Singing and Wine, he could go all out and kill at least a few hundred Singing and Wine players every time. If he died, he would come again, and then he would bring another few hundred. If this continued, would they still be able to fight the city battle?
"Considering his reaction speed and movement speed, I think it'll be ten meters …"
Singing and Wine's formation was personally led by him, their guild leader, and was their signature dish in team battles. As long as one stepped into the range of their formation, no one had the ability to escape. As they became more and more adept at coordinating with each other, the formation's attack range had already reached its maximum. The position that their formation couldn't reach was not because of their skill, but because of the game's setting: Mages' magic control could only reach such a distance.
"Can one really fight against many in an online game?" A bunch of people looked at each other. Any normal gamer would never be able to keep up with Gu Fei's strength.
Thirty meters, that was outside the mage's attack range! As expected, the other side was also a mage, so he understood this data very well. All the mages had been holding back their energy, waiting to explode! In the end, Gu Fei stopped the moment they were about to explode. Everyone held back, suffering internal injuries.
Everyone discussed how to get Thousand Leagues Drunk to take the bait. Their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high. Go Upstream wanted to die.
"He just doesn't use it, but that doesn't mean he can't …"
"I think we don't need to be afraid, because there's no need to be afraid. If we can't hit him normally, we'll just leave and numb him. When he lets down his guard, we'll take a few more steps forward and we'll counterattack!" Someone said.
"He's attacking!!" Everyone shouted, and reflexively turned around to counterattack, but Gu Fei retreated. They couldn't catch up to his speed, and Gu Fei was still out of their magic range. The mages could only watch helplessly.
"We should be able to hit him now!!" Someone at the back, the mage closest to Gu Fei in a straight line, reported.
Go Upstream finally understood. A party without a priest couldn't suppress A Thousand Leagues Drunk, and a party with a priest couldn't catch up to A Thousand Leagues Drunk … This was a dead end! Go Upstream looked at his own party and asked a question, "Do you have a priest that adds agility?"
"This is how mages fight. Would A Thousand Leagues Drunk still fight like this?"
Singing to Wine began to wriggle as the party retreated. The mages were originally at the front, and now that the party was reversed, they naturally retreated to the back of the party. If A Thousand Leagues Drunk got close, suddenly spread out, and then set up a magic circle, it would indeed be very interesting. Everyone thought …
"Fifteen meters? Stop joking. He's basically walking around within thirty meters, and hasn't taken a single step closer. His positioning is extremely accurate. Damn it, he's a mage after all. "
"Ten meters … Even if we all die, we won't be able to get that distance …" The Thieves said.
"It's coming, it's coming. Mages, get ready!" This time, everyone didn't need to command Go Upstream anymore. They all actively prepared for battle, especially the Thieves and Archers who had been bullied by Gu Fei. They kept urging in the channel, hoping that the mage would avenge them. They were so anxious that Go Upstream wanted to strangle them to death … Why didn't anyone in the guild who understood what was going on? Go Upstream forgot that there were people who understood, but they privately messaged him, which made him very unhappy.
The Thieves and Archers returned to their party dejectedly. Every one of them lowered their heads, not daring to speak. They felt very embarrassed, and were even too embarrassed to raise their heads to ask for a reply from the priest.
"Relax, numb him, lure him into the trap. Oh my god!!!" As this person was talking about the guidelines, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, and the mage closest to Gu Fei was struck.
"F * ck!!!" Go Upstream finally couldn't hold it in and spat. With Gu Fei's movement speed, in the time they took to move forward, he had already taken three steps back. Wanting to close the distance between them and Gu Fei like that was just a fantasy.
"This is the boundary of the spell formation. Just this alone requires us to circle him ten meters. In reality, we still have to circle him another five meters, for a total of fifteen meters, to be absolutely safe."
They knew that this wasn't the end of the fight, but even if it was only two or three hundred people, it was still a shocking thing to be beaten up like this by a single person.
The mages' hands were almost sweating as they gripped their staffs tightly. They stared at Gu Fei, but … That's right, Gu Fei didn't take a single step forward.
Gu Fei was having fun, and even threw a Wall of Electricity once. However, this thing was very passive, and as long as it was touched, it wouldn't do any damage, so it could be considered a bit of fun.
The ultimate scenario described by Shan Ziling made Go Upstream's heart shudder. But in front of them, they were riding a tiger, and it was hard to get off. A grand army of a thousand people had already charged over, and then silently retreated with their tails between their legs. What kind of explanation was this? At this point, did they want face, or did they want their future? Go Upstream once again encountered a painful moment of choice, and in his heart, he hated Shan Ziling for being so annoying. You analyzed the situation so clearly and logically, why didn't you publicly say it in the guild channel so that everyone could understand? Why did you have to send me a private message? If you did that, I would have a headache … If I told the guild members this reasoning, even if they understood, it would be the same as admitting defeat to Thousand Miles Drunk. The one who gave the order was me, and now the one who made the decision is me, how can I still be the guild leader?
Go Upstream looked up the hillside, and Gu Fei also seemed to be looking down the hillside. Go Upstream wished that he could send a private message to Gu Fei at this time, but unfortunately, the system had deprived him of this right. Even if he wanted to retreat now, what if Thousand Miles Drunk didn't give up and chased after him? Huh! If that was the case, then the Mage would be able to trap him with a magic array; if he didn't chase after him, then he could just shamelessly pretend that his plan had failed, and let Shan Ziling bring a few more people to pretend to inquire about Thousand Miles Drunk's whereabouts, turning this big matter into a small matter, and small matter into nothing …
Go Upstream closed the message and blocked Shan Ziling. This guy only knows how to send private messages, private messages, private messages your ass!!! Go Upstream was so annoying. Shan Ziling sent a message but didn't get a reply, and when he sent another, the system rejected him. Knowing that he had been blocked, he was baffled. Did I say something wrong? Shan Ziling pondered.
"It seems like we're being kited …"
"Don't we have any classes that add Agility?"
The guild was completely silent. At this time, everyone realized this problem: In order to suppress Thousand Miles Drunk, they had to have a speed that could keep up with him. From this point of view, it seemed like they had a thousand people fighting against Thousand Miles Drunk, but in reality, there were only three hundred people. The short-legged Warriors, Mages, and Priests simply didn't have the opportunity to fight. Even if there were some who added Agility, how could these classes be so extreme as to put all their points into Agility? Without this speed as a guarantee, even if they wanted to fight Thousand Miles Drunk, it would be impossible.
Ranged classes all had the possibility of kiting. Currently, Mages often used Ice Whirlwind to slow down their opponents, and then gain the advantage of speed to kite them. There were also some Mages who, to save trouble, sacrificed some Intelligence and put their points into Agility, then used a pair of high quality shoes to kill those classes that didn't have Agility. As for Gu Fei's current equipment, from a conventional Mage's point of view, he used his points to gain an absolute advantage in movement speed, then relied on his equipment to maintain powerful magic damage, and now he had equipment to maintain his mana. This kind of equipment, in fact, didn't even need Gu Fei. Even if Imperial Divine Cry, Drifting, Sword Ghost, and any other expert in the game had this kind of equipment, the results would definitely not be bad. Just like now, if the enemy advanced, they would retreat, and if the enemy retreated, they would harass. The only difference was that if the enemy had three hundred Archers and Thieves, these people would definitely be defeated. Gu Fei, on the other hand, was more proficient in close combat, so he could send these three hundred people running all over the mountain.
"A few steps is useless, really."
"Clerics, Clerics!!!" That person was about to explode with one more hit, so he shouted for help. There were quite a few Clerics in the main army, and some quickly came to heal him. The Mages didn't know what to do, but suddenly, the soles of their feet became hot …
Having more people didn't mean that you had more power, but having more useful people was more power! By the time Upstream realized this, it was already too late. The three hundred or so people they could use were not Gu Fei's opponent at all. In Shan Ziling's report, not only did he point out that Gu Fei definitely had the ability to recover mana, he also suspected that Gu Fei even had equipment that could recover health. Coupled with this person's quick reaction, he could dodge more than 95% of the attacks, he was simply immortal. In the previous exchange, Shan Ziling felt that Gu Fei's greatest damage was probably when he rushed into his own Flaming Tree Thousand Layers Flames.
"Array!!!" Upstream took a step forward and roared.
"Why?"
"It's about time, just a few more steps and he'll be in range." The Mages said to each other.
"Will he run?"
"Teleport, six meters. At that moment, he can still jump out of the array … "
At this moment, Upstream even had the thought of throwing in the towel and quitting. Around him, seeing Gu Fei pull away from them and then stop to watch them, they began to watch Upstream, waiting for the president to make a decision.
"What's going on?"
The only ones who could close the distance were the Thieves and Archers. But this team … Going against the flow and looking back, the Thieves and Archers were all like withered willows. They didn't even dare to raise their heads. They couldn't be counted on at all …
Hearing this, everyone felt that there was no other way, because they really couldn't catch up to A Thousand Miles Drunk, so they could only think of a way to lure him over. At this time, Shan Ziling sent a private message to Upstream, "You better think carefully, if A Thousand Miles Drunk decides to retaliate …"
"Should we hurry up a few steps and pretend to escape?"
Against the Drunken Singing Bandit and Archer two-in-one speed pursuit team, they were completely routed by Gu Fei's attacks. Eternal and the others, who were originally focused on retreating, also stopped in their tracks and looked back at this inconceivable scene. At this moment, they were extremely glad that there was a character with speed like Boundless Mang in the team. Otherwise, with their movement speed, they might not have been able to see this scene.
"F * ck, I forgot he could do that …"
Gu Fei, who was electrocuting people all over the mountain, was paying attention to his mana recovery. In a situation where he was completely in control, even after electrocuting so many people, his mana didn't decrease, but instead increased. As soon as the command was given, everyone seemed to have found the right direction. They turned around and ran into the embrace of the main force. Gu Fei did not let them go. He continued to chase after them, releasing lightning and thunder. Going Against the Current's face was like a sky filled with lightning, flickering between bright and dark.
"He's moving!!!" In the guild channel, the spy in charge of monitoring A Thousand Miles Drunk sent a message. Everyone was excited, did he take the bait? Upstream's cheeks were streaming with tears. In reality, he hoped that A Thousand Miles Drunk would stop chasing them and turn this matter into a small one, then a small one into nothing! Who would have thought that A Thousand Miles Drunk would step into his trap … Going against the flow, how could he not know that this would attract endless revenge from A Thousand Miles Drunk. He was afraid of this, so he blocked Fan Ziling to vent his anger. But he had no choice, he had to give himself a way out. He bluntly told the guild members that if A Thousand Miles Drunk couldn't deal with him, then retreat. Upstream couldn't bring himself to do this …
