All roads lead to Rome, and Yunjiao Lake was just an open-air place. There were countless options to get to this place. The biggest advantage of the path created by the system was not that it was close, but that it allowed people to focus on their journey. There would not be any harassment from monsters along the way. Meanwhile, if players tried to take a shortcut, they would inevitably be harassed by monsters along the way. They might even bump into a high-level area. If that happened, not only would they not be able to pass through, but they might even lose their lives if they tried to force their way through.
However, these problems were not a problem for the four players. Firstly, their movement speed was fast. Secondly, Gu Fei's Divine Cry was also very fast in clearing monsters. If he could avoid the monsters, he would. If he couldn't, he would kill them in two or three hits. It did not take long for them to arrive at the back of the mountain range beside the Cloud Suburb Lake.
"Let's go up from here!" Xi Xiaotian looked up and said.
The other three nodded their heads. From the start, this place seemed to already be the territory of the Cloud Suburb Lakeside. There weren't many monsters, and the atmosphere was rather ambiguous. Imperial Sky Divine Ming was clearly a little excited.
The surface area of Yun Jiao Lake was also very large. When the four of them reached the top of the mountain, they could only see the rippling lake and the reeds where no one could be seen even though the grass was blown by the wind.
"The cabin is over there." Gu Fei pointed. This target was relatively close to them.
"Haha, isn't that the place where you were killed with Honor?" Slender Dancer laughed.
"Look, what a big lake." Gu Fei said.
The three of them looked at him strangely, not knowing why he suddenly sighed.
"Someone once swam like this." Gu Fei gestured.
"You're courting death!" Slim Waist Dance clenched her teeth.
Xi Xiaotian smiled and looked around. "I don't see any NPCs here."
"But there's already a forest here. Judging from the people in the forest, they're probably the guardians of the forest, right? Finding someone in the forest is troublesome. "Imperial Sky Divine Ming said.
"En, follow closely. Don't get lost." Gu Fei said.
Imperial God Ming was on the verge of tears, but he knew that Gu Fei was not mocking him this time, but was genuinely reminding him out of goodwill. This made him unable to reprimand Gu Fei for not abiding by the agreement.
"I think it's more efficient for us to split up," Xi Xiaotian suggested.
"Or we can shout out her name, maybe she will come looking for us." Imperial Sky Divine Ming said.
"Mm, let's do it this way. The three of us will split up and look for her. Yutian, you stay here and call her name." Gu Fei nodded.
"I … …" Imperial Sky Shenming felt that he was asking for trouble.
So the three of them split up, and the hillside began to echo with Imperial Divine Cry's affectionate call to Courtney. In the end, Courtney didn't appear, and many players were awakened. Many figures emerged from the bushes and bushes, trying to see which idiot had lost his wife.
Gu Fei's group of three each chose a direction and dispersed. Beware of ambushes. This was Gu Fei's warning to everyone. Fortunately, NPCs had their own style. They wouldn't bend down to hide in the reeds, so their target should still be very obvious. Not long after the three of them split up, Xi Xiaotian sent a message to the three of them, saying that he had found a target by the lake. Gu Fei and Thin Waist Dance quickly arrived, and Imperial God Ming sent a message to Gu Fei: "Are you here to pick me up?"
Gu Fei sighed, and could only run to fetch this guy. Xi Xiaotian and Thin Waist Dance didn't act rashly, still standing on the hillside and following Courtney from afar. When Gu Fei and Imperial God Ming rushed back, Xi Xiaotian pointed and said, "Looks like you were right, there is indeed an ambush."
Gu Fei looked and couldn't help but laugh. The reeds were very high, but Courtney still revealed half of her body when walking normally. It was just that the movement of her walking seemed to be a bit too big, and the reeds within a radius of dozens of meters would tremble with her. The figure inside was simply faintly discernible. This ambush was a bit too stupid.
Of course, Gu Fei didn't know the complexity of this. With Ye Xiaowu, the four major guilds directly rushed here from the Cloud Mine. With their manpower, finding Courtney was naturally even faster. The four guild leaders all sent trusted aides to communicate with Courtney and try to dig out the quest, but in the end, they found nothing. Ye Xiaowu didn't give the four of them too clear a hint, which made the four of them a bit unhappy. Making such a stupid ambush was naturally a competition between the four of them. They all wanted to climb up to the quest, so they personally led their subordinates to circle around Courtney, no one willing to back down. At every critical moment, this group of people's cooperation was always a joke.
"There's a problem, even if the Han Family Young Master knew that we were coming here for a quest, how did he know that we were looking for this NPC? Normal players wouldn't know about this NPC by the Cloud Suburb Lake, right? Is the Han Family Young Master someone who often comes here to play? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"I don't think so …" Gu Fei said. The Han Family Young Master was an evil person that people couldn't stand. Love? Such a beautiful word was simply a waste of natural resources to be added to that guy. Just thinking about it made one feel like a crime.
"And this shouldn't be him. I don't think that guy would make such a funny ambush. Look, look, his butt is already exposed, and he's still crawling!" Gu Fei said.
"No matter who it is, how did he know that we were looking for Courtney?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"There are so many players, so there must be some who know that there's an NPC here. It's a quest, so wouldn't we interact with NPCs, so we came to give it a try?" Gu Fei said.
"How could they be so ignorant?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Also, you said that their setup is very exposed. Uh, if it's an ambush, then it's exposed. But maybe the other party's goal was to protect us, to prevent us from coming into contact with Courtney, and the ambush was just a convenience?" Xi Xiaotian continued to analyze.
"What you said makes sense." Gu Fei nodded, then turned around to look at the other two, "What do you guys think?"
"There should be a lot of men and women in the bushes, so why didn't a single pair appear when they stepped over here?" Imperial Shenming also knew how to think.
"This …" Gu Fei stared blankly, then immediately reacted, "The bushes are already filled with their people?"
"Seems like it …" Xi Xiaotian nodded, "They arrived a step earlier and have already made arrangements. The ones in the reeds that aren't moving are the real ambush, and these guys following us are probably just a cover? " Even Xi Xiaotian couldn't have guessed that these guys following them were ready to rush over and snatch the quest at any time.
"They made arrangements in advance? Could it be that they know Courtney's movement route?" Slender Waist Dance said.
"Uh, maybe there are players who are familiar with this NPC?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Wait, it can't be that guy, right?" Gu Fei suddenly thought of someone. He pulled up his friend list and saw that he was indeed online, so he sent a message over, "You're here to cause trouble again?"
"A Thousand Miles Drunk is here." Ye Xiaowu, who received the message, ignored Gu Fei and quickly revealed the information to the four guild leaders.
"How did you know?" The four were shocked. They had all left spies along the way, but none of them had received any information about A Thousand Miles Drunk's appearance, so how did this guy know first?
"He sent me a message. He also guessed that I was here." Ye Xiaowu said.
"You guys … What's your relationship?" The four were puzzled.
Ye Xiaowu didn't answer this question, but instead asked, "You all have some spies, right?"
The four nodded, then explained the situation of their spies.
"It seems like they didn't take the main road, but took a detour." Ye Xiaowu said.
The four guild leaders nodded. This was something that couldn't be prevented. The map was so big, and if they wanted to take a detour, they would be everywhere. The four guilds couldn't watch the entire Yunjiao Lakeside.
"He noticed me, so it seems like he's already noticed the situation with the NPC. This means that he's already nearby." Ye Xiaowu said, looking around.
The four guild leaders were full of confidence. "We've already set up an ambush in the reeds, and the NPC is also surrounded by our guild's most elite members. No matter how strong A Thousand Miles Drunk is, I don't think he can go head to head with the four guilds. "
"He has to come into contact with this NPC, right?" In the end, the four asked Ye Xiaowu.
"Although it's not absolute, there's at least an eighty percent chance that he's going this route. Since he's already here, then there's no doubt about it. "Ye Xiaowu said.
"Then let's wait for him to walk into the trap!" The four were happy. They could kill A Thousand Miles Drunk again.
"Unless he …"
"Unless he what?" The four became nervous when they heard that there was a twist.
"A Thousand Miles Drunk!!" Suddenly, someone shouted in the reeds, obviously finding the target.
"Where?" The four guild leaders said in unison.
"The northwest slope!"
If everyone hid in the reeds, it would be really inconvenient for them to observe the outside. Now that they had received a clear report, they all poked their heads out slightly. Sure enough, the familiar and terrifying black figure on the northwest slope was flying down. The four guild leaders were full of confidence before, but now they felt a little nervous for no reason. They each ordered, "Get ready!"
Everyone held onto their weapons and hid themselves, waiting for Gu Fei to enter their circle before launching an ambush. However, Gu Fei didn't run over at all. He stopped when he was about a hundred meters away and shouted, "Courteney! Angus isn't dead! "
These words clearly traveled into the ears of everyone in the reeds. The players were all confused, not knowing what trick A Thousand Miles Drunk was playing. Ye Xiaowu was already depressed. "He really did this."
"What will happen?" The four guild leaders were shocked.
In the end, the answer was already out. Courteney, who had been closely surrounded by them, suddenly froze when she heard this shout. She quickly turned her head to look at Gu Fei. Gu Fei consolidated his results and shouted again. Courteney didn't say anything and quickly ran in Gu Fei's direction.
"F * ck!" The four guild leaders finally knew what Gu Fei was up to. This NPC didn't need the players to actively serve her. She could be summoned over by shouting. This went against the common sense of online games. Usually, the players would pretend to be the grandsons of the NPCs and carefully serve them in exchange for rewards. But this NPC was too useless. Looking at her, it seemed like she was in a hurry to complete some kind of quest.
"Stop, stop her!!!" The four guild leaders had an idea and decided to surround this NPC.
"No!" Ye Xiaowu hurriedly stopped them. But the players obviously listened to their guild leaders. Who cared about Ye Xiaowu? At this time, they all went forward to block the way.
"What's wrong?" The four guild leaders hurriedly asked Ye Xiaowu.
"Blocking her means becoming enemies with her. What do you think will happen?" Ye Xiaowu said.
Two streaks of white light. The seemingly unremarkable female forest watchers attacked without the slightest hesitation. The players wanted to shamelessly surround the NPC and not let her leave. In the end, she came over and stabbed two of them to death with a wave of her hand. Then she didn't make things difficult for the others. She just continued to run quickly. Her speed was actually quite fast.
"Is it a Thief?" NPCs that could fight usually had a profession. The players saw that this NPC used a dagger and moved so quickly, so they quickly came to this conclusion.
"Godly Thief, Sharpshooter, Lurker, three professions." Ye Xiaowu said. This was where NPCs were shameless. They didn't have the same profession system as the players. They often had multiple professions.
"If we kill her, will we not be able to complete the Thousand Miles Drunk quest?" The four guild leaders asked.
Ye Xiaowu froze and then nodded. "Indeed, we won't be able to complete this quest."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" The four guild leaders complained to Ye Xiaowu and immediately ordered the players to attack together and kill Courteney.
Ye Xiaowu's face showed a hesitant expression, but in the end, he still said, "If we kill her, your quest will also be stuck here!"
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!!!!" The four guild leaders roared together. In the end, they turned to stare at Ye Xiaowu. "What is going on?"
"Both of you are in the same quest system," Ye Xiaowu said.
"But didn't you say that there would be multiple paths? Can't we just take the other paths? "the four said.
"That's right, but I have to remind you that my goal is to stop the destruction and influence of the Thousand Miles Drunk. I'm not helping you with the quest," Ye Xiaowu said.
"You said that a long time ago!" Yun Zhong Mudi said.
Against the Current understood the deeper meaning. "You mean, you won't give us any hints for the other paths, is that right?"
"That's right." Ye Xiaowu nodded.
The four guild leaders looked at each other. In the guild channel, their subordinates anxiously urged, "Do we do it? Do we do it? We're about to run out! We're about to run out! "
"Do it!" Sword Without Oath blurted out. Yun Zhong Mudi and Black Index Finger also nodded resolutely. This Cleric claimed that he wouldn't help on the other paths, but on this path, when did he give any hints? The four guilds had been busy until now, but they had no idea what this quest was about. What information, what background, what did Thousand Miles Drunk mean? Why did this NPC run when he heard it?
The four guild leaders realized that whether it was this path in front of them or the other paths that they hadn't discovered yet, it was all the same to them. If they left this NPC behind, they wouldn't know how to complete the quest. Instead, they would give Thousand Miles Drunk a chance to complete his quest. Rather than that, they might as well give up this opportunity together. What was even better was that Against the Current guy's quest was also interrupted!!!
Perhaps this was the reason why Sword Without Oath and the others were so determined. Before Against the Current could say anything, the three of them had already organized their own guilds to attack Courteney.
"F * ck, you three!!" Against the Current's thoughts were more meticulous. At the beginning, he had already considered the gains and losses of the quest, but the other three's determination surprised him. Then, when he saw that the three of them didn't even pay attention to him, he realized that he was different from the three of them! His quest was still on this path, so he wasn't completely clueless. He had a chance to complete this quest.
"Guild Leader Against the Current, think of the big picture!" Sword Without Oath said sincerely.
"We know that your guild seems to be involved in this quest, but look, right now, Thousand Miles Drunk is closer to the end, so we have to do this," Yun Zhong Mudi said.
"The sacrifice of Singing and Wine will be remembered by all the players in Cloud City," Black Index Finger said.
The three of them echoed each other. Against the Current was furious, but what could he do? Even if he could save her, he had no clue. Thirty Miles Away had been running around like a dog during this period of time. Whenever there was a situation, he would go and talk. When he found out that Courteney was an important person, Against the Current had sent someone from Thirty Miles Away to test her again and again, but to no avail. It seemed like there was no difference whether he had a quest or not. He didn't know how to continue. As he thought about it, he steeled his heart and decided not to say anything else. What was the point of saying anything? Turning on them? One of them couldn't beat three guilds.
With the guild leader's order to kill, the players didn't stop Courteney. The thick-skinned Warriors stacked together and started to provoke Courteney.
Ye Xiaowu couldn't help but say, "It's useless. She won't generate aggro right now. She'll just go to Thousand Miles Drunk."
"F * ck, what kind of monster is this!" the four guild leaders cursed.
"Surround her with people," Ye Xiaowu reminded.
"We've done that a long time ago," the four guild leaders said. In terms of commanding, none of them were weak.
But it wasn't that easy. How could they just focus on killing NPCs? Gu Fei discovered that this group of people wanted to fight to the death, and had already rushed over to provide support. He teleported into the encirclement and actually cooperated with Courteney's attack, slashing out an opening with his sword.
"What did you just say?" Courteney actually stopped running and pulled Gu Fei to say her lines.
Gu Fei didn't answer. He took out the necklace and showed it to Courteney. Courteney held it with tears in her eyes. She muttered to herself, "Angus, it really is Angus!"
"Where is he?" Courteney quickly asked Gu Fei.
Suddenly, there was a mess of screams around him. Gu Fei looked around in surprise. The surrounding players had all gone crazy. They suddenly attacked and screamed at the same time. It was so noisy that he couldn't hear anything.
"Will this work?" The four guild leaders asked Ye Xiaowu. They hoped that the sound waves would interfere so that Gu Fei and Courteney couldn't talk.
Ye Xiaowu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It doesn't work on NPCs, but it might work on players …" This player's weird tricks were really beyond his imagination.
"Stop dawdling! How are we going to see Angus if we don't escape! "Gu Fei roared.
The NPC was indeed unaffected by the noise and nodded firmly. "I must see Angus!!!"
"It's over …" Ye Xiaowu shook his head.
"What's over?" The four guild leaders didn't understand.
Courteney took out the longbow on her back and nocked ten long arrows at once. She raised her hand and released. The arrows flew out in a fan shape and instantly killed ten people!
"F * ck, she's even stronger than me!" Gu Fei was surprised.
"The boss is going berserk," Ye Xiaowu said to the four guild leaders.
