Waterfront City West Gate. Finally, Jian Nanyou managed to move to this side without any mishap.
"Is everyone here?" He asked the others in the channel.
"Yes … …" The other five replied. At this time, Jian Nanyou was still in a small alley. He peeked outside and only found the glue that was pretending to be a stall in the small street market on the street of the city gate. Glue had often set up stalls on the street near the city gate when he was still a beginner. He was able to put on a show and no one suspected anything.
As for the other four, Jiannan You scanned the area carefully but still couldn't find them. He was satisfied. He couldn't even recognize them, let alone those strangers.
"Da Nan, what do we do now? Do we charge out? "The one who sent the message was Flaming Cloak.
"It's a little troublesome. There seems to be a lot more people at the city gate." Dao Xiangmu said.
Jiannan You quickly realized the problem. Compared to when he went to the East Gate, everyone had gathered again. With this delay, the number of people at the city gate had increased exponentially. Previously, Jiannan You was prepared to gather everyone's strength and charge out. As long as they killed all the enemies, they wouldn't know where they went. Jiannan You was originally confident.
But now that the number of enemies had increased, not to mention killing all of them, even killing their way out was a problem.
The channel was silent.
"How about this." Glue said, "I'll lure them away and they'll find a chance to charge out."
"Let me do it. As a Cleric, I can attract all their attention." Dao Xiangmu said.
Everyone was silent. Dao Xiangmu's words weren't wrong. Glue would definitely not be able to attract all of the enemy's attention. Only a Cleric would have a chance. However, the problem was that Glue was an Archer and had an advantage in speed. There was a chance for him to escape, but if a Cleric was exposed, he would definitely die.
"Then I'll go." No one spoke. Dao Xiangmu had made up his mind and was about to appear. Jiannan You suddenly sent a message: "No one go."
"Why?" Dao Xiangmu was puzzled. Jiannan You was never an emotional person.
"It's useless even if you lure them away. If you stand out, you'll be killed. How many steps can you take?" Jiannan You said.
Dao Xiangmu thought about it and agreed. How could someone without speed lure the enemies away? He would be killed before he could even take two steps.
"Then what do we do?" someone asked.
"Listen to me!" Jian Nanyou already had a plan in mind.
"Good idea!!!" After Jian Nanyou finished speaking, everyone slapped the table and cheered.
At this moment, more than ten guilds of Waterside City had gathered at the Western City Gate. Everyone was a team with perfect class composition, and they all wanted to occupy the best position under the city gate. The atmosphere was very incompatible, and they all looked at each other with fire in their eyes. They were waiting for the results of the negotiations between the presidents of the Priest Academy. If there was any disagreement, this place would immediately turn into a battlefield. At this moment, every team was preparing for battle, calculating what kind of methods they should use once the battle began.
But at the same time, they did not forget another important mission: keep an eye on the players coming and going.
The atmosphere was so tense that it was about to freeze. Everyone's palms were sweating as they gripped their weapons.
Suddenly, on the street closest to the city gate, a priest rushed out in panic. At this moment, the eyes of the players below the city gates lit up.
"Is it him?" Just as this trace of hesitation flashed in everyone's hearts, they saw an arrow fly out from the alley that the priest ran out from, and hit the priest's shoulder.
The players below the city gate were already in an uproar, and they moved closer to the priest without any prior agreement.
The priest's footsteps did not stop. He wanted to continue running, but a chain of fireballs chased after his footsteps and hit his back. At the same time, a homing arrow flew over.
A white light flashed! But within the circle of light, an object fell down.
With a bang, the object fell to the ground. When the white light dissipated, everyone could clearly see that it was a magic staff.
Almost at the same time, an archer had already rushed out from the alley. He glanced at the approaching players, and hurriedly rushed towards the magic staff on the ground. But immediately after, a warrior valiantly rushed out and used Charge to hit the archer's waist. The archer was sent flying with a whoosh. The warrior wanted to pick up the magic staff, but his movement was a bit too slow. The experts below the city gate had already reacted. Roaring angrily, the mages' spells and the archers' arrows flew out at the same time. With the magic staff as the center, the mages set the surroundings ablaze, while the archers fiercely shot at the warrior. How could the warrior take even half a step forward? In a panic, he retreated back into the alley.
"Quick, the magic staff!!!" A shout came from who knew where. The various guilds' teams fiercely rushed forward. Those with greater speed had already surpassed the crowd, but when they were still a few steps away from the magic staff, flames immediately fell from the sky, turning them into flying ash. Everyone stopped in their tracks. At this moment, anyone who dared to pick up the magic staff would immediately become the target of everyone. After this pitiful player was sacrificed, everyone thought of this logic.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other. The magic staff was just a few steps away from them, but no one dared to go and pick it up. Everyone was quickly discussing in their private chat channels what they should do. Some people had already reported the situation here to the guild leaders.
The Priest School was already in a mess. The guild leaders were still discussing the current situation, unable to find a suitable solution. Then, they saw a Priest resurrect in the Priest School. Before anyone could see clearly, the Priest went offline with the white light of resurrection. While everyone was still in a daze, they received a report from the west gate: A Priest has died, and a magic staff has been dropped.
When the guild leaders heard this, they immediately led their members and rushed towards the West Gate, understanding the situation and the details of the situation along the way.
"The magic staff is on the ground, no one dares to touch it!"
This was a good situation, but not a long-term solution. This was because the items on the ground would be refreshed when the time was up. And this time limit was only five minutes.
From the Priest School to the west gate, even the fastest person couldn't reach it in five minutes. In other words, before the guild leaders arrived with their people, someone had to pick up the magic staff. Otherwise, everyone would be drawing water with a sieve.
At this moment, the guild leaders were considering the fastest possible situation. They all reminded their subordinates: Look for opportunities to snatch the magic staff. Even if you can't get it, you must see who picked it up and that person's class.
At the same time, the guards at each resurrection point were warned to be 120% vigilant.
West gate. The atmosphere was extremely tense. At this time, it had been half a minute since the magic staff had fallen to the ground. It seemed like no one was moving, but in reality, the people in the front row were moving forward in an extremely imperceptible way. Everyone wanted to enter a certain range, a distance where they could reach out and pick up the magic staff. That way, even if they died immediately, it would be worth it. Unless his luck was extremely bad, and his death just happened to drop the staff he had picked up.
After a minute, everyone's intentions were exposed. At this time, they had actually shortened the distance by one step. This was a change that could be seen with the naked eye. The players in the back row were a little surprised. In their eyes, unknowingly, the players in the front row had actually opened up a distance between them by one step. Only now did they realize that the effect of many a little makes a mickle was truly terrifying.
Someone suddenly rushed out from the front row!
In reality, when everyone stood in a row, it was impossible to be at the same distance from the magic staff. Some people were slightly further away, while others were slightly closer. The person who attacked was the closest to the magic staff. He was only two steps away, a distance that could be reached with one step and a bend. He finally couldn't hold back and made the first move.
He was fast! But others were faster than him.
He was the closest to the magic staff, but someone was closer to him than he was to the magic staff.
The two players beside him immediately attacked when they saw this guy move. The two of them worked together and killed him on the spot. And among the two, one of them was more cunning. He used this opportunity to cleverly advance his position, and after his successful attack, he wanted to grab the magic staff. As a result, there were players who had been watching him closely and attacked him.
The situation at this time was already on the verge of breaking out, and now they had already touched it twice. The chain reaction was completed quickly. Everyone fought, rushing forward to grab the magic staff while clearing the dissidents around them.
The scene was chaotic, and the players used all kinds of methods.
Someone almost picked up the magic staff in the chaos. The people around him saw that it was too late to stop him, and hurriedly kicked the magic staff away. The ground was full of people's feet, and the magic staff couldn't have rolled far. But the first person missed this opportunity and immediately died in the chaos.
The second player found an opportunity in the chaos. He had just bent down when his butt was kicked hard, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. But his arm was still stretched out to grab the magic staff, and he failed. In the end, he was trampled to death by the players.
Everyone finally realized that bending down to pick up the magic staff in such a chaotic situation was simply looking for death. So no one made such a rash move. The players who rushed close to the magic staff all desperately stretched out their legs, trying to step on the magic staff.
Crowding, fighting, spells, death. The players who had nothing to do with them looked at the scene in front of them in horror. At this time, Jiannan You and a few of his brothers were sneaking out of the alley at the side, and they walked out of the west gate. Nobody noticed them, as everyone's attention was on the magic staff on the ground.
However, everything was just a show put up by Jiannan You and the others. Even the Cleric who died wasn't one of them. He was just an extremely low-level newbie player that they had randomly identified on the street. He convinced the newbie player to sacrifice himself with 50 gold coins and a decent piece of Cleric equipment.
As for the magic staff on the ground, it was just an ordinary magic staff that the newbie player threw to the ground the moment he died. Anyone could do that.
Jiannan You predicted that these guys would have preconceived notions when they saw the scene just now, and nobody would think that it was just a show and use appraisal to verify its authenticity.
Jiannan You was the last to walk out of the west gate. He looked back at the players who were still fighting over the ordinary magic staff on the ground, and left a disdainful smile.
