From the moment he went against the current and led the group into the forest, he had followed Young Master Han's plan step by step.
Using one's own people as bait for Gu Fei's AoE spell to kill them?
This was only a very small part of the trap. With this method, the first person to fall into the trap might fall for it, but after the first person was killed by Gu Fei's spell, the next person to fall would be the same as Upstream's previous judgement. The melee classes would be stopped, and the ranged classes would be used instead.
When he went against the flow and made this judgment, he had truly fallen into the trap.
The melee classes didn't dare to get close, and ranged classes were restricted in the forest. No matter how many people the Waterflower Mercenary Group had, their battle strength had already been weakened to the limit. This was the main point of Han Family Young Master's battle plan.
Using one's own people as bait, and Gu Fei would kill them. This entire scene was actually the bait, luring him to go against the current and make the decision that Young Master Han was waiting for.
Upstream's judgement couldn't be said to be wrong. If this was a normal fight, Waterflower wouldn't have lost even if she had the advantage in numbers.
Unfortunately, he wasn't facing an ordinary opponent. He was facing an elite team made up of top experts.
Everyone in the group exerted their full strength, causing more splashes to bloom. The people who stirred up the water were at a loss as to what to do. In such a situation, Upstream's emotions were unstable, and he finally made a major mistake in his command, giving Gu Fei an opportunity to take advantage of.
29 people! There were only 29 left, and the majority were Priests and Paladins. The players in charge of fighting in the Waterflower Mercenary Group finally had the ultimate configuration of their dreams. Every one of them could now have a professional Priest and a professional Paladin behind them. This was a treatment that only the top experts in the guild could receive. But at this moment, not a single one of them could smile.
There was silence in the forest. Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and Yutian Shenming seemed to have discussed it and suddenly stopped attacking. Han Family Young Master was still hiding behind the tree. Brother You was still hiding in the tree. Only Unscathed In Battle was casually standing in front of the 29 people.
From the start of the battle, Unscathed In Battle's fall from the tree was exposed to the public. However, he was not the one leading the attack. However, Unscathed In Battle didn't really care. Today's battle was a glorious one for him. More importantly, he had earned a lot of points today, which was very rare. He had always been the one with the lowest points among the six members of the mercenary group. Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and Yutian Shenming had points for killing enemies. Han Family Young Master and Brother You had bonus points for non-combat elements. As for him? The number of enemies he killed in every battle was limited. Sword Demon saw that he always got one, two, and three points, which was quite pitiful. He actually gave him five points for protecting Han Family Young Master and Brother You.
What a shame! This was simply a shame. The number one warrior in the game also had pride, but in this mercenary group, he was actually reduced to a bodyguard. Unscathed In Battle had always been looking forward to a chance to show off, and today he finally got it.
But fortunately, Gu Fei saved him at the beginning, or else he would have been beaten out of the game. Unscathed In Battle shuddered at the thought of it. If he had been killed, he wouldn't even have a reason to get five points for being a bodyguard.
Unscathed In Battle's imagination was running wild! He treated the 29 people in front of him like they were nothing.
The young master of the Han Family also leisurely walked out from behind the tree, smiling as he watched the river flow upstream.
Against the Current also smiled bitterly. He was at his wit's end. Today's loss wasn't like the guild battle. That loss had a lot of elements to it, and no one was willing to accept it. But this time, it was a complete and utter defeat, so they had to accept it even if they didn't want to.
Just as he was about to say a few pleasantries, the air in front of him suddenly rustled, and the branches and leaves suddenly parted to the sides. A figure had already sprung out, drifting toward Upstream at lightning speed.
But the people at Water Flower saw it clearly, and they all came to a realization. "Wow, so it's a steel wire!"
The person who flew out was, of course, Gu Fei. He was holding a rope in his hand, and it was tied to who knows where on the tree. In short, he was flying over like Tarzan. Everyone saw this, and when they connected it to Gu Fei's ghost-like movements, they immediately felt that they had found a suitable scientific theory.
"Dual Flame Flash, flash!" Gu Fei didn't just fly, he also used a big move. He was full of mana after eating the fruit, so he didn't move much after using Dual Flame Flash. He just pointed downwards. With this swing, Dual Flame Flash turned into a flaming dragon, flying over the heads of the Waterflower Mercenaries who were still marveling at his steel wire technique. Those who were unlucky enough to be standing in Gu Fei's path were killed one by one.
25！ Waterflower Mercenaries lost four people in one go.
However, Gu Fei was not the real Tarzan. Even when he practiced martial arts, he did not practice the ability of a monkey flying around on a tree. When Gu Fei returned to the highest point, he found that there was no place for him to land. As a result, Gu Fei could only follow the law of conservation of energy, turning potential energy back into kinetic energy and flying back.
This infuriated the people at Water Flower Mercenaries.
This was because all the martial arts, science fiction, and even the animal world that he usually came into contact with would use such a flying posture. After a swing, he would definitely land on another tree in a very natural and unrestrained manner. No one expected Gu Fei to be so unscrupulous. After flying out, he couldn't find a place to land, and then flew back without any backbone.
If he kept going back and forth like this, wouldn't it be like playing on a swing?
Swings were the main prop used in romantic dramas to send flirtatious messages. Everyone was currently acting out a hot-blooded fight scene, so this was obviously very out of place. Gu Fei also felt that he couldn't keep swinging like this, and made a prompt decision. As he swung back, he drew his sword and chanted, "Teleport, move!"
The advantage of an instant skill was that there was no need to set up a pose. He could use it whenever he wanted.
As soon as Gu Fei finished chanting, he disappeared from the end of the rope. The people at Water Flower Mercenaries were still looking up at Gu Fei, but when they saw that he had disappeared, they all looked up at the trees, wondering if he had flown up again and would pull a rope down when they weren't paying attention. Suddenly, a scream came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw Gu Fei swinging his sword behind them. Not only him, but the thief had also appeared out of nowhere. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused elsewhere, he took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
The two of them killed two people at lightning speed, then disappeared and found a random tree to hide in. With the guidance of the Han Family Young Master, who was extremely good at maps and coordinates, the places he pointed out were definitely in the blind spots of the large group of people. Poor Yutian Shenming, who had no sense of direction, couldn't enjoy the guidance of the Han Family Young Master. He could only lie pitifully on the tree and sneakily shoot arrows.
The Sword Demon and Gu Fei, one in stealth and the other in teleportation, would suddenly appear to harass them as soon as their cooldowns were up. They would quietly appear, take two or three lives, then disappear again.
Above them, Yutian Shenming would occasionally shoot arrows. On the other side, Unscathed In Battle would carry his two greatswords and feint a charge. The number of people at Water Flower Mercenaries dwindled, and those who hadn't died weren't far from having a mental breakdown. The only thing they gained was a deeper understanding of the cooldown of Gu Fei's Teleportation.
After repeated torment, Water Flower Mercenaries couldn't come up with any good countermeasures. They could only watch as their numbers dwindled one by one. When there were only five people left, the Han Family Young Master once again floated out from behind the tree. He looked at Upstream and smiled, "Let's forget about it?"
Against the Current sighed and squeezed out a smile. "See you later!"
The Han Family Young Master nodded. Upstream gestured to the remaining four people on his side. They all had tired expressions on their faces, and didn't raise any objections. They simply retreated.
In the semi-finals of the mercenary competition, the six people from Childe Elite Group actually won once again, achieving a 'perfect' score.
Having killed to this extent, just the experience and gold reward alone were already very generous. Needless to say, the six members of the elite group were naturally overjoyed. However, on the surface, they maintained a calm expression. This was because the moment they stepped out of the teleportation point, Upstream had been waiting for them!
They couldn't help but give their usual praises. Upstream's intention to win them over was already too obvious. They were just short of saying that they would all be his bosses once they entered his guild.
But at times like this, the pretentiousness of these experts became even more prominent.
Yutian Spirit pretended to be aloof and disdainful.
Unscathed In Battle pretended to be low-key, so humble that it made people feel disgusted.
Brother You felt a little lonely. He knew that in terms of strength, he still didn't have such a high level. They were so enthusiastic towards him mainly because of the others.
Sword Demon's reply was more serious, "Let's not think about this for now."
The Han Family Young Master didn't say a word. He was originally a member of Drinking and Singing …
Gu Fei was the person they were most looking forward to. He waited for the others to express their opinions one by one before putting on a helpless expression, looking like he was going with the flow.
Upstream also knew that forcing things would only cause annoyance, so he didn't say much. He laughed and said, "Then I'll look forward to working together in the future. If there are any difficult missions, I'll definitely ask for your help!"
The mercenary group was, of course, open for business. No matter how bad the Han Family Young Master was, he couldn't reject the goodwill that was delivered to his doorstep. He naturally laughed and said, "We're all so familiar with each other, of course we'll help if there's anything!"
It was rather strange for a match to be lost in such a joyous manner.
There was great harmony before the battle, and it was still great harmony after the battle. This competition finally ended in harmony.
