"Full speed ahead, head to the Cloud Suburb Lake. We must stop the A Thousand Miles Drunk quest at all costs!!!" The four guild channels echoed with their guild leaders' messages. Only the higher-ups knew about being tricked by Ye Xiaowu. The four guild leaders felt embarrassed, so they didn't bother explaining. The four guild players were digging in the Cloud Mine when they suddenly heard that they had to return to the Cloud Suburb Lake to stop A Thousand Miles Drunk. They were at a loss. They vaguely remembered that their guild leader said he would stop A Thousand Miles Drunk quest at all costs.
"What are they doing?" It was inevitable that some people would ask.
"We'll talk after we're done, hurry!" This was the response they received.
The players from the four major guilds swarmed out of the Cloud Mine and headed toward the Cloud Suburb Lake. In the direction of the Cloud Suburb Lake, the moment Angus closed his eyes, the sun had already set, and the beautiful scenery could no longer be seen. Courtney once again hugged Angus tightly in her arms, but after a moment, as if she had made up her mind about something, she put Angus aside, turned around, and started digging a hole.
"Help." Gu Fei called out to the other three.
With the four of them and an NPC working together, a large hole was quickly dug. Courtney jumped into the hole with Angus in her arms and gently placed him down.
"Are we going to bury ourselves too?" Imperial Shenming whispered.
"No." Gu Fei said, "It's a bit crowded with two people."
The two girls stared at the two of them. Courtney didn't linger in the hole with Angus this time. After putting him down, she jumped out and stared. Finally, she picked up a handful of soil and sprinkled it down.
"Huh? Should we do something? "Imperial Shenming asked.
"Why are you asking me!" Gu Fei said and turned to Courtney, "Do you need help?"
Courtney shook her head. Gu Fei shrugged helplessly, so the four of them didn't move and watched as Angus's body was slowly covered by the soil.
"The four guild players really aren't here. Did they really get tricked?" Gu Fei whispered to Xi Xiaotian.
"I did trick them away, but I think they'll be back soon. You don't think that they left this place completely, do you?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Our place is too conspicuous." Gu Fei looked left and right. This was the best place to enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the Cloud Suburb Lake. At the same time, it could also be enjoyed from any position in the Cloud Suburb Lake, as long as one could see it.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The NPC picked it," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then they might be back soon. Can this woman hurry up?" Gu Fei was anxious.
"There's movement in the reeds," Imperial Divine Ming suddenly said.
"You saw it?" Gu Fei was delighted.
"En!" Imperial Divine Ming nodded.
"Coordinates!" Gu Fei said.
"…" Imperial God Ming glared angrily.
"Approximate location," Gu Fei said.
Imperial Heaven Shenming suddenly had an idea, and shot an arrow in that direction. Gu Fei raised his sword and was about to charge forward when Xi Xiaotian said, "Of course there are people in the reeds. How do you know they're from the four major guilds?"
Gu Fei was stunned when he heard this. Ambushing wasn't something that the four big guilds could do. Men and women who were in love all liked to lay in ambush in the reeds beside the Cloud Suburb Lake. Perhaps Imperial God Ming only saw the actions of a couple?
"I just saw someone moving." Imperial God Ming honestly said what he saw, "If it's a normal player, there's no need to be so sneaky, right?" From time to time, there would still be people getting up from the reeds, but they would hold hands and leave openly. They wouldn't crawl with their bodies exposed.
"There's no problem with what you saw. The problem is that we can't be sure even if we get close." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Threatening them is good." Gu Fei still raised his sword and went forward.
"You're just bored out of your mind when you're not killing people, right?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"It'll take a while for her to be buried!" Gu Fei said.
"I think we can help out now." Xi Xiaotian turned around to look at Courtney. After seeing that the soil had completely covered Angus, she sped up her movements and wasn't as hesitant as before.
"Let's try." Gu Fei stepped forward and lightly scattered the soil.
Courtney didn't say anything and the four of them hurriedly got to work. Not long after, the soil was covered and a low grave was piled up on the ground. Just as Imperial God Ming was muttering to himself about whether or not he needed a tombstone, Courtney gently placed the necklace on the grave and took a few steps back, staring at it.
The four of them didn't dare disturb her and could only wait.
They waited until Courtney said to them: "Thank you."
Gu Fei let out a long sigh. He guessed that Courtney and Angus's love story had come to an end. What came next should be a derivative of the story, which was the plot he needed to continue the quest!
"You're welcome." Gu Fei had actually thought about how to continue the quest and was familiar with it. He had already found the entry point. "Why did Angus become like this? What's wrong with the water storage and drainage project in Yunjiao Lake? Why do you think he's dead? "
"I don't know." Courtney shook her head. This answer was like a bolt of lightning to the four of them.
"But …" Courtney suddenly continued.
"I love 'but'!" At this moment, Imperial God Ming was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
"Shut up, you." Gu Fei stopped him from making any more noise and listened to Courtney.
"The news of Angus's death was told to me by my teacher. He said that there was an accident during the water storage and drainage project, and Angus died at the bottom of the lake. So I came here to become a forest guard. I hope I can stay with him forever. Now it's good, I know that Angus will always be there. "Courtney pointed at the grave. After so many years, she had long felt disheartened. Only when she heard Gu Fei say that "Angus isn't dead" did she have a glimmer of hope. Although she didn't see Angus in the end, compared to the years when she only knew that Angus was at the bottom of the lake, it was unreachable. To be able to hold Angus's body in her arms and stay so close to him, Courtney actually had a trace of satisfaction on her face.
"But why did Angus become like this? If not, he shouldn't have died! Don't you want to find out the real cause of Angus's death? "Gu Fei said. It was obvious that Angus's body was attacked to death, but Courtney hadn't asked how he died or who killed him since she found his body. And from the looks of it, she didn't plan to ask either.
"What's the use of knowing that? All I want is to be with Angus. Although he's dead now, I will always watch over him. "Courtney said.
"I lost …" Gu Fei had no choice but to tell the truth. "Alright, actually we need to find out the cause of Angus's death. Do you have any clues that you can provide?"
Courtney shook her head.
Xi Xiaotian interrupted, "You can't ask like this. If she thinks like this, maybe there are clues that happened around her, but she won't use these kinds of things as clues to remember. "
Gu Fei thought for a moment. "That little house by the lake, is it yours?"
"No, that's Teacher Gilkino's," Courtney said.
"Oh? When did he start living here? Tell me about him. "Gu Fei said hurriedly.
"That was after he told me about Angus's death. I left my teacher and moved to Yunjiao Lake to be a forest caretaker. He often came to Yunjiao Lake to take a walk and visit me. Then he said he liked the scenery and tranquility here, so he built a little house. He would often come here to do some research, and sometimes he would ask me for help, "Courtney said.
"What research?" Gu Fei asked.
"Teacher said that the water storage and discharge project of Yunjiao Lake wasn't perfect, and he needed further research to optimize it."
"Right, in your chat with Angus, you mentioned that you were a little uneasy about this project. What was it?" Gu Fei asked.
"I accidentally saw the teacher arguing with someone about this project. I've never seen the teacher so angry. I only heard him say that this project was absolutely impossible, but the project still continued after that, so I thought it was a little strange."
"Later, Angus said that he wanted to use magic to solve some problems in this project. Do you know what it was?"
"I don't know." Courtney shook her head.
Gu Fei looked at the other three. "Did any of you think of any problems?"
"You've been here for so long, have you tried to find Angus's body in the project?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
Courtney nodded. "Teacher told me not to try, but I still did it secretly. But the entrance to the project seemed to be sealed by magic, so I couldn't get in. "
"How did you dive into the water?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"There were some special magic tools for diving during the project, and Angus secretly gave some to me," Courtney said.
"Can you lend it to us?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"Of course." Courtney nodded. "It's in my residence in the forest north of the lake. You can go get it yourself!"
"See?" Xi Xiaotian looked at Gu Fei with disdain. "If you don't pay attention to what she wants, you won't be able to think of what she wants to do, and you won't be able to dig out the clues in her mind."
"Diving tools? Is she going to rely on these things to see what's going on in the tunnel at the bottom of the lake? "Gu Fei said.
"Of course. As for the things you asked, let's analyze them as we go! " After Xi Xiaotian finished speaking, the four of them left together. Slender Waist Dance turned around and saw Courtney sitting quietly next to Angus's grave.
"Enemy sightings ahead!" Imperial Shenming suddenly pointed at the hillside, and the four of them looked up. The people from the four major guilds had finally arrived. Of course, not all of them. Even though their opponent was A Thousand Miles Drunk, the four guild leaders still mustered their courage to form a fast-moving vanguard team when they thought about how the mission would fail if the other party completed it. After sprinting all the way, they finally arrived at Yunjiao Lake.
Gu Fei raised his sword and was eager to fight, but was pulled back by Xi Xiaotian. "Don't fight if you can avoid it! If anything happens to you, wouldn't it be a pity if the mission fails? "
Gu Fei thought about it and agreed, so the four of them chose to run for the sake of the bigger picture. There was no better place to hide than the Cloud Suburb Lake in the entire Cloud Suburb City. The four of them entered the reeds and couldn't be seen outside.
"North." Gu Fei said.
"If we swim directly from here, it's exactly north." Slender Waist Dance was experienced.
"I don't mind." Xi Xiaotian said.
Imperial Shenming imagined the scene of the two beauties soaking wet, and his nose was about to bleed, so he nodded his head.
"I'll cover you guys." Gu Fei said.
"Why are you so uncooperative!" Xi Xiaotian criticized.
"I don't know how to swim." Gu Fei said.
The three of them froze.
"What? Is it that strange that you can't swim? "Gu Fei was dissatisfied.
"Let's do this! The three of you swim over, I'll block here. Just now, it was Deceiver and Courtney, so I think you can continue with the plot. You guys go and take the item. "Gu Fei said.
"Hmph? You still want to stay here and kill people right? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"The terrain is pretty good." Gu Fei said.
"Then we'll go." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Hurry." Gu Fei pushed the three of them behind him and suddenly jumped out from the reeds. He threw out an area of effect spell and shouted, "I'm going to kill people, if there's nothing to worry about, dodge!!!"
This spell and shout startled countless players. Everyone craned their necks to look around. Imperial Shenming looked back and couldn't help but exclaim, "A one to one ratio of male to female. This is such a rare scene in the game!"
The shocked players didn't know what was going on. They were very close to Gu Fei and noticed that he was the one making a ruckus. They hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Hurry, they're going to PK. Look." Gu Fei pointed at the four guilds' advance troops running down the hill.
"Why are they going to PK again!" The players at Cloud Suburb Lake had been trained many times, so they weren't surprised by this scene. They all cooperated and left the scene. Xi Xiaotian looked back, "There's no need to swim. We'll take advantage of this chaos and run away."
Even though they were swimming in a straight line, they couldn't move as fast as they usually did. They walked around the lake. Even though it was far, it was faster.
"Hey, take this chance to leave!" Slender Waist Dance called out to Gu Fei.
"You guys go, I'll cover you." Gu Fei yelled.
"He just wants to stay and PK. Fly away." Xi Xiaotian cursed.
"If you die, the quest will fail!" Slender Waist Dance yelled.
"Don't worry, even if you die, I won't!" Gu Fei patted his chest, full of confidence. Previously, he had demonstrated the power of the Earth Hall Kung Fu, which made him realize that the Yunjiao Lake was a good place for him to fight against a group of enemies. He was only afraid of the enemy's Magicians, but the enemy's Magicians had yet to arrive, right?
The three of them retreated along with the couple that had scattered. Quite a few people noticed that Imperial Shenming had two beautiful girls by his side and looked at him with envy. Imperial Shenming immediately noticed their gazes and understood what they were thinking. He was pleased with himself and didn't want to expose them.
The advance troops arrived like a gust of wind. Gu Fei stood in the reeds, afraid that the enemy wouldn't know where he was. Seeing that they were close, he ducked down and disappeared into the grass.
However, the experienced members of the four guilds didn't dare to be rash. A Thousand Li Drunk could hide or run, but he chose to make such a big commotion. It was very suspicious. They hurriedly reported the situation to the guild leader and asked for instructions.
"Another diversion?" The fourth guild leader was very cautious after falling into the trap, "Where are the others with him?"
"Don't know."
"Fuck, why didn't you keep a closer eye on them?"
"I knew it was going to be a PK, so all those little lovers ran out. It was a mess, I couldn't keep a close eye on them!" The advance troops were all innocent.
"In this kind of situation, why didn't A Thousand Li Drunk take advantage of the chaos and leave?" The fourth guild leader had a headache, they couldn't guess Gu Fei's intentions.
"Is he bluffing, or does he have a reason to stay?"
The advance troops also had core members of the guilds, such as Four Seas' Reflection of Time, and Drinking and Singing Fan Ziling. They were all gathered together to discuss A Thousand Li Drunk's intentions. Hundreds of Agility-based players stopped outside the reeds and stared at the reeds, not daring to make any rash moves.
The three people who were mixed in with the couple had already run far away. Looking back, the enemy team didn't dare to move forward and foolishly stopped outside the reeds.
"What are those idiots doing?" Imperial Shenming was puzzled.
"They've been knocked out, I think they don't know what our intentions are." Xi Xiaotian laughed.
"Ignore them, let's go get the quest item, a diving magic tool, I wonder what it is?" Slender Waist Dance said.
"Isn't the biggest problem with diving the difficulty of breathing? It's probably something that makes breathing easier after using it! "Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's pretty fun." Slender Waist Dance said.
"Let's go, let's go." The three ignored Gu Fei and ran.
Gu Fei crouched in the reeds in loneliness, waiting left and right, but no one came. The four guilds had already suffered from Gu Fei's unpredictability in the reeds before, they wouldn't play along this time. They had already decided: wait for the mages to come and bombard the area. As for the advance troops, they had nothing to do at the moment and would shoot randomly from afar.
Gu Fei was helpless and could only stand out. "Why don't you come in?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
What answered him was countless arrows.
Gu Fei hurriedly crouched and teleported, changing his position. Looking back, he saw another wave of arrows biting at the spot he had just been standing at like locusts.
No one was willing to enter the reeds, Gu Fei's game couldn't continue. Helplessly, helplessly, he took out a teleportation scroll.
White light flashed. One of the fools in the advance party cheered, "A Thousand Miles Drunk has been killed!"
"Killed your sister? Did someone attack in that direction? "Someone immediately cursed back.
"What's going on?" The four guild leaders were all tensed up!
"He used a teleportation scroll and ran away." Someone reported.
"We're in trouble!!!" The four guild leaders were dumbfounded. Now that they had completely lost track of him, who knew where their quest was headed?
"It's all that bastard's fault!!!" Unsworn Sword was obviously talking about Ye Xiaowu.
"Yes! That bastard! "The other three echoed.
Ye Xiaowu crouched alone in the 17th area.
He had been killed. This defenseless Little Mu had tricked the four guild leaders, how could they let him go so easily? Before sending him back, they had already informed the guilds. So the moment Ye Xiaowu appeared at the resurrection point, he became the target of a frenzy of attacks.
25 times happened in a flash. Ye Xiaowu still wanted to send a message to explain, but the guild leaders had already deleted him.
Ye Xiaowu knew that Thousand Miles Drunk was the next step of their quest, but he didn't have the strength to stop it.
The four major guilds had the strength to sabotage the quest, but they didn't know Thousand Miles Drunk's next step.
That was how tragedies were made.
