The four of them looked at each other. They didn't know how to talk to the NPC in this situation.
Fortunately, a quest was still a quest. The system couldn't freeze the screen at this moment and keep "Loading" right? So after a moment of silence, Courtney finally turned her head.
"Are you okay?" Gu Fei asked. Talking to an NPC like this was a bit funny and weird. In the end, he didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the game and couldn't get into character.
Courtney seemed to understand Gu Fei's concern. She nodded and got up, still hugging Angus tightly in her arms.
"What are you going to do?" Gu Fei asked directly.
"Find a place to bury Angus." Courtney said softly.
"Where to?" Gu Fei asked.
"Cloud Suburb Lake." Courtney said.
"We're going back there?" Gu Fei was startled.
Courtney obviously didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. She didn't say anything else and walked in front with Angus' corpse.
"What do we do if we encounter another battle?" Gu Fei was depressed. They could already see the opponent's background. They were from the four big guilds. Gu Fei couldn't underestimate the power of their combined numbers.
"We don't even need to go to Cloud Suburb Lake. If they chase after us, we'll crash into them." Imperial Shenming said.
"I have a risky idea." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Speak." Gu Fei said.
"Let Courtney go by herself." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh?" Gu Fei thought about it.
"Then wouldn't she be killed by the guild? Even though she's strong, I think she's still within the range of a player to kill. She's not even as strong as the Misty Assassin. "Imperial Shenming said.
"Indeed not." Gu Fei nodded.
"If we go together and run into people from the four major guilds, they'll definitely think of a way to ruin our quest, no matter the cost. But if it's just the NPC, they might think that our quest isn't here. What reason do we have to make things difficult for a strong NPC? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"I'm afraid they won't think so because of that guy." Gu Fei was worried about Ye Xiaowu. "That guy is from the game company. He's very familiar with the quests in the game. Just like now, even we don't know if Courtney will have anything to do with us after burying Angus, but he definitely knows. "
"That's perfect." Xi Xiaotian smiled. "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too much. If he thinks that he's infallible, he might even lead himself astray."
"What do you mean?" Gu Fei said.
"For example, if we don't follow Courtney, then we don't know what we can do next, but he will know. As long as there is a possibility that we can complete the quest without following Courtney, then he will think that we have taken this quest route. He will think that we have changed the direction of the quest," Xi Xiaotian said.
"What if there's no such way?" Gu Fei said.
"Parallel world missions always have a high degree of freedom. Different ways of doing things will lead to different mission routes. This has been proven by many players. Especially for such a complicated mission, it was impossible for it to be a one-way mission. So I think it's entirely possible that there are some twists after this plot. Let's pretend to be like this! "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Have you two finished discussing? Courtney is about to leave!" Slim Waist Dancer shouted.
"There's someone over there!" Imperial God Ming looked around and also discovered something.
"Who?" Gu Fei asked.
"It stopped moving. I can barely see it from this distance. I think it's a Godly Archer. It's a Godly Archer who chased after us from afar. "Imperial God Ming said.
"Not a bad chance." Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei thought about it and finally nodded, "Let's do it this way!"
Thus, the four of them no longer cared about where Courtney went and pretended as if nothing had happened. Their footsteps were firm and no one looked back.
"What's going on!" There were only the three guild leaders left at Cloud Suburb Lake. After Gu Fei and the others left, they didn't dare to chase too quickly, but they couldn't just let the other side finish the quest. After that, the three of them all sent Godly Archers to track the direction of the other side and observe their movements from afar, waiting for an opportunity to act.
The Godly Archers all maintained their eyesight to the limit to observe. Other than being able to count five people, they didn't find anything else. The guild leaders kept asking what was going on, and the scouts were a little annoyed. What could they see from so far away? The guild leaders' orders were to put safety first and just observe from afar. Now that they were asking, if they didn't go forward and die, what could they find?
There were still players who were brave and willing to sacrifice themselves. Just as a small scout was about to continue to follow and find out something even if he died, he suddenly realized that the other side had already split up.
There were four people on one side and one person on the other.
One of them was heading in their direction, while the other four were heading in another direction. Among the four, there was a Red Shirt and a Black Robe. Of course, there was A Thousand Miles Drunk.
"Guild leader, the latest situation is that they have split up." The news was quickly passed on.
"Split up? What does that mean? "
"One person and four people have split up. One person is heading in our direction, getting closer and closer … Uh, it seems like an NPC. The NPC seems to be heading back to Cloud Suburb Lake. A Thousand Miles Drunk and the others aren't with the NPC. "
"Has the quest been completed?" The three guild leaders were shocked. Ye Xiaowu had said that once the quest was completed, the defending side would be in danger.
"Where did A Thousand Miles Drunk and the others go?" Sword Without Oath asked his subordinate.
"I don't know … Looking at the direction … It seems like they're heading towards the resurrection camp!!!" After making this judgment, the scout himself was shocked.
"F * ck!!" Sword Without Oath jumped up. "Which resurrection camp?"
"The one in the southwest corner!"
The defending players of the two camps that had been destroyed were too traumatized. Once they heard the news, they panicked. Sword Without Oath knew that it was too late for their entire army to return now, so he hurriedly contacted the other guild leaders and told them that the defending players had made a move again. It seemed like they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on the resurrection camp, so they should be prepared.
The players were in an uproar. The two camps that had been destroyed could be said to have been the defending players' own destruction. At first, they had been carelessly instigated by Gu Fei Jian, and the guards of the camps had been treated as spies to be killed. Moreover, they had been wiped clean. Such a huge joke was something that everyone was too embarrassed to say. It was these two camps that had such a big gap, and the defending players had taken advantage of it. However, the remaining five camps were all guarded by elite guards. The defending players did not have many people, so how could they take over the other camps?
Although they felt that this matter was exaggerated, no one dared to ignore the news that the three guild leaders had jointly issued. Therefore, the various guilds dispatched their manpower to gather at the resurrection camp in the southwest corner. The three guild leaders also continued to send out Godly Archers to follow Gu Fei's group of four from hundreds of meters away.
The three guild leaders also knew that with the current strength of the defending players, there was no way they could take down the remaining five resurrection camps. However, Thousand Miles Drunk and the others had such intentions. The three guild leaders could not help but suspect that they had obtained some sort of powerful reward from the quest they had just completed. Almost at the same time, the three of them recalled what the knowledgeable Red Dust Smile had told them. "The players of Moonlit Night City have completed the quest and received the help of the Werewolf Army."
"Could it be that they received help from NPCs?" The three of them looked at each other and shouted almost at the same time. Next, they quickly thought of Courtney's powerful combat strength. Could it be that Thousand Miles Drunk and the others had successfully obtained a group of forest guards? That would be a devastating blow to the attacking players.
"Quick! Look around and see if there are any NPC squads gathering. "The three guild leaders hurriedly began to dispatch their subordinates. The three of them did not forget to inform Countercurrent of all this messy news. They heard that this guy had just been killed by an Honor Kill. He must be in great pain, but there was no way he could just escape from his troubles. The three of them told Countercurrent half of their intention was to make things worse, to make things even more troublesome for Countercurrent.
"Did you guys add that guy as a friend?" Mudi Yun Zhong asked.
"I'm contacting him." Unsworn Sword said. He knew who Mudi Yun Zhong was referring to.
Ye Xiaowu, full of confidence, had come to stop Gu Fei again. In the end, he was killed by Gu Fei before he could even do anything. He was quite depressed. After leaving the resurrection camp, he was slowly returning to Yunjiao Lake when he suddenly received a message from Unsworn Sword, asking him about Thousand Miles Drunk's next step.
"Next step? That depends on how they interact with the NPCs. Didn't you guys send someone to scout? "Ye Xiaowu asked.
"Of course! Currently, Thousand Miles Drunk and the others have split up with the NPCs. The NPCs are on their way back to Yunjiao Lake, while Thousand Miles Drunk and the others are heading to the southwest resurrection camp. "Unsworn Sword said.
Ye Xiaowu was startled. Leaving the NPCs and heading to the southwest camp? What kind of plot was this? Were they going to the southwest camp, or were they going somewhere along the way? Ye Xiaowu thought about it carefully, not forgetting to ask, "Where did they go with the NPCs?"
"They went to the Cloud Mine," Unsworn Sword hurriedly said.
"The Cloud Mine … Could it be …" Ye Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this. He then connected the dots to the southwest camp and immediately came to a conclusion. "Quick, gather in the direction of the Cloud Mine."
"Why do we have to go there?" Unsworn Sword was stunned. What kind of place was this?
"Just listen to me!" Ye Xiaowu was full of confidence.
Unsworn Sword understood that this kid didn't want to reveal too much information about the mission. But now, Unsworn Sword no longer doubted Ye Xiaowu's "knowledge." At Yunjiao Lake, Ye Xiaowu had told them about Courtney's route, and that Thousand Miles Drunk and the others would definitely come here to find this NPC. Unsworn Sword hurriedly passed on Ye Xiaowu's message to Mudi Yun Zhong and Black Index Finger. Both of them had the same thought and did not doubt it at all. The three guild leaders hurriedly led their troops to the Cloud Mine.
"Then why are the three of them going to the southwest camp?" Unsworn Sword asked.
"Nothing much. It's just the shortest route back to the city. They want to go back to the city to complete a plot, and then head to the Cloud Mine," Ye Xiaowu said.
"What are they doing?" Unsworn Sword asked.
Ye Xiaowu did not reply.
"Will you die if you say a few more words?" Unsworn Sword was depressed.
"Sorry." Ye Xiaowu was very secretive this time, unlike when he helped the other party complete the mission in Cloud Fog City. He felt that the situation was different this time. In Fog Cloud City, Thousand Miles Drunk had destroyed the interests of the opposing guild, so he felt that he could reveal some information to help them make up for it. But now, Ye Xiaowu felt that Thousand Miles Drunk was unfair to all of the guilds attacking Cloud City. If he revealed too much information and allowed any guild to benefit from this battle, then it would be unfair to the other guilds. After thinking about it, he felt that he should say as little as possible this time. The current situation was not bad. As long as the other party realized the danger of Thousand Miles Drunk, they would take it seriously and listen to his arrangements.
"If it's the southwest camp, then he should probably go through the west gate, right? I will organize some people to ambush him, "Unsworn Sword said.
"That won't help. His current quest is already completed. Killing him will only save him a few steps. When he returns to the main city, he will receive the next order and still head to the Cloud Mine. I think you should save this time and quickly go to the Cloud Mine to make arrangements! "Ye Xiaowu suggested.
Unsworn Sword accepted this suggestion and urged his subordinates to move quickly. On the way, they would naturally meet up with Courtney. At first, everyone was very frightened and prepared to run, but they quickly realized that Courtney was not hostile at all. She was just slowly walking while holding a disgusting corpse.
Unsworn Sword hurriedly asked Ye Xiaowu about the situation. Ye Xiaowu disagreed, "Don't worry about the quest. She won't attack you guys anymore. "
"Yutian, how is it? Is there anyone watching?" Gu Fei, who was walking on the main road, asked Yutian Shenming about the situation.
"Following, always." Yutian Shenming said.
"Still the same few people?"
"Yes."
"This tail is very annoying!" Gu Fei said.
"Why don't we put on another act." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh?" Gu Fei looked at her.
Xi Xiaotian walked to the leveling area on the side of the road, casually chatted with a player, and returned to the three of them, "Use teleportation!"
"Oh? What were you doing just now? "Gu Fei was confused.
"Just chatting for a bit. I was just putting on a show for those guys." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Putting on a show?" Gu Fei took out a scroll.
"How strange it is to suddenly fly while walking. Now that there is this process of coming into contact with people, if it was me, I would think: Oh, the contact bought a scroll! "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Too cunning!!" The three of them said in unison.
"Teleport!" Xi Xiaotian didn't think much of it.
The four of them teleported and disappeared. The scout quickly reported what he saw to the guild leader. As expected, after listening to their detailed description and combining it with Ye Xiaowu's deduction, the guild leader came to a conclusion: they sped up the process, contacted the seller, and traded a teleportation scroll, and teleported back to the city!
"We have to hurry!! Since they have this kind of idea, they might even use the teleportation scroll to buy time. "Ye Xiaowu said.
Unsworn Sword was depressed, "Can't you tell us what they can do in the Cloud Mine?"
"This … I really can't say. As long as you guys defend the Cloud Mine to the death and destroy them when they appear, then this line of communication will be broken." Ye Xiaowu said.
Unsworn Sword had no choice but to follow the plan. However, he had already privately informed his trusted subordinates: when they reach the Cloud Mine, they have to dig three feet into the ground and study the place thoroughly.
After using the scroll, the four of them appeared in the barren land again. From here, they naturally didn't encounter any disturbances at all.
"Are you sure they have already left?" Gu Fei asked Xi Xiaotian.
"Yes! With so many people, it would be too obvious if they left. Not many people would see them. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then how do you know?"
"If you happen to have some friends who are active in that area, you would also know." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then where did they go?" Gu Fei asked.
"Then how would I know? From the direction of the description, it seems to be in the direction we left. "Xi Xiaotian said.
"It can't be for Courtney, right?"
"I hope not..." At this time, Xi Xiaotian couldn't be a hundred percent confident, she just hoped that her plan would work.
Of course, her plan was quite effective. When the four of them returned to the Cloud Suburb Lake, Hawkeye's Cry of the Heavens found Courtney. She was sitting quietly on the hillside, Angus's body lying in her arms. The four of them hurried over.
"Look, Angus, your favorite scenery is about to appear!!"
When the four of them came to her side, they heard Courtney speaking softly to Angus.
The four of them looked in the direction she said, only to see the sky full of light, reflecting the reeds by the lake in a golden color, but the lake water was orange. When the wind blew, the lake rippled, and the sound of reeds swaying could be heard. Courtney had a smile on her face, her hand caressing Angus's face, gently closing his eyes.
Slender Waist Dance's eyes turned red, Xi Xiaotian looked elsewhere, and Imperial Cry's expression... made Gu Fei want to kill him. This guy was obviously fantasizing about hugging a beautiful girl and sitting here watching the scenery.
In the reeds at the bottom of the hillside, there were some players lying in the middle, not daring to move, anxiously sending a message: "Guild leader, Thousand Miles Drunk and the others are back!! They are now with NPCs!!!! "
"What?" The four guild leaders were shocked! At this time, Upstream had already run to the Cloud Mine to meet up with the others. However, the four guild leaders were not so stupid, so they each left some people at the Cloud Lake. This was because this place had become a battlefield during the quest several times, so they felt that they should pay more attention to this area. So, they left some people to observe the situation here. Of course, waiting for an opportunity to contact this Courtney and see if there would be any quests was also a very important mission...
Who would have thought that in the end, Thousand Miles Drunk would come, and they could only watch helplessly as Thousand Miles Drunk met up with NPCs.
"What's going on?" The four guild leaders stared at Ye Xiaowu.
"You and Thousand Miles Drunk are together?" Unsworn Sword said.
"No wonder you know the quest so well, and communicate with Thousand Miles Drunk. Of course you would know what you should know," Against the Current said.
"A player with knowledge? You really know how to make our imagination run wild! "Mudi of the Cloud held back his anger.
"Cut the crap!" Black Index Finger roared.
With the four guild leaders attacking, Ye Xiaowu didn't even have a chance to explain...
