Three Sighs of Flowing Maple quickly wiped his face, but in the end, his black face was smeared with dirt. Everyone continued to hold back their laughter. Those who had more amazing endurance clenched their teeth and said, "Go wash up!"
"Hurry up and think of a way! We definitely can't let them escape!!!!" Three Sighs of Flowing Maple roared hysterically before hurrying off. Everyone looked at each other. In their eyes, their guild leader was always calm and collected. Who would have thought that such a small matter that didn't affect the overall situation would provoke his anger? The human heart was the hardest thing to understand.
Three Sighs of Flowing Maple temporarily left, and the group of people continued to study the hidden lock on the wooden door.
After confirming that no one in the guild had the legendary unlocking skill, everyone began to discuss the problem of the key. With so many people in such a big guild, there were still some capable people. Someone quickly pointed out that when they arrived, Gu Fei and Sword Demon had left from a certain place, and Gu Xian was lying in a certain place. Coincidentally, there was an NPC assassin sleeping there. Was there a key?
There was no need to guess if there was a key or not. That NPC was always sleeping there. They would know once they went to take a look. Immediately, a few people ran over there. Gu Fei, who had shaken off Three Sighs of Flowing Maple's dust, was peeking through the hole and noticed the situation. "Their reaction is so fast. They seem to have already discovered that there's something wrong with that assassin."
Sword Demon was also startled. "Then what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Pray that the key hasn't refreshed yet, so they'll just think that there's nothing strange there!" Gu Fei said.
"This quest seems quite complicated. I believe that the quest item won't refresh so quickly!" Sword Demon replied. As the reality became more and more consistent with Gu Fei's analysis, Sword Demon already began to believe that this quest didn't appear on the list, but still existed. He was different from Gu Fei's indifference. After all, he was a veteran gamer, so he more or less cared.
"En, I hope so. Did you find anything? "Gu Fei said.
"This is the only place left." Sword Demon looked ahead. The small firewood room had been searched. At this time, the Sword Demon was staring at the firewood piled high in the corner. Because it was a VR game! These things could all be moved. Searching this kind of place was actually quite tiring. It was not like before, when you moved the mouse up and found that the shape had changed. Now, you had to be a laborer.
Everything outside the woodshed was as Gu Fei and Sword Demon had hoped. The players who touched the sleeping assassin did not find anything. They could only continue to rack their brains to do mental work. Meanwhile, Gu Fei and Sword Demon were sweating profusely as they did physical work. Finally, the Sword Demon, who had been working hard to move firewood without complaint, made a discovery and shouted excitedly, "Got it!"
On the other side, Gu Fei quickly dropped what he was doing and came over. He found that there was a cellar under the pile of firewood that Sword Demon had moved away. The two quickly cleared the firewood on top and then were stunned. The cellar was a cellar, but it was a locked cellar.
Sword Demon squatted down and pulled it. The lock was very strong. He wanted to take the key to the door of the firewood room to try, but the size didn't match.
"Let's look!" Gu Fei said as he rummaged through the pile of firewood. The other places had been carefully searched. If there was a key, it could only be in this pile of firewood. Unfortunately, luck had left them this time. The pile of firewood was thoroughly searched, but there was nothing to show for it.
"How do we do this..." Gu Fei opened the diary and looked for clues in it. The Sword Ghoul was so tired that he was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. He looked at the ceiling and suddenly had a thought. Could it be that the two keys are also on the sleeping assassin, but these two keys respawned at different times, so the players picked them up and messed things up. That's why I can't get two keys at once.
"That's possible." Gu Fei nodded, then said, "But in the near future, no one will come to this place except for players looking at it through the fog. If there really is a key, it's likely that it's in their hands. Unless the key's refresh time is many days, and it's picked up by someone else before they start their quest …"
"Oh no!" The Sword Ghost suddenly shouted. "It looks like we didn't discover anything during the search just now, but now that we've discovered something suspicious, we'll definitely be discussing it in the guild. With so many people in the guild, there's no doubt that someone has discovered this NPC. Moreover, the person who happened to find the key is probably rushing over right now with the key!"
"That's not necessarily true." Gu Fei said, "I've learned about the situation of this courtyard. Before the mission began, the only clear and transparent space in Xia Fog City was their largest trading market, but the backyard space was limited. Look at the flowers, grass, and trees, although the environment is good, it is not a square, and it is far from the main entrance, so it has always been deserted. Even after the mission was occupied, there was no one guarding the backyard. It was not until I climbed over the wall in the backyard that people began to set up here. "
"What you said can only guarantee that there will not be many people who have a chance to touch this key, but in the past few days, after all, there are people who are looking through the fog here. I promise you, if such an NPC is found, there will definitely be a lot of players who will come to find out." Sword Demon said.
"So, it is really possible for people who are looking through the fog to get this key?" Gu Fei said.
"Very likely, and maybe they are already here, unless they happen to be offline at this moment."
"Wait, if they find this key, of course they will think about how to use it, and then, this small woodshed with a lock is a pretty obvious target, right?" Gu Fei said.
Without waiting for Sword Demon to answer, Gu Fei had already begun to look at the small woodshed. "Although the system has always been very shameless, isn't it a bit too much to hide a cellar so thoroughly under the pile of firewood?"
Sword Demon turned his head. There was no need to discuss the system's shamelessness. He understood the meaning of Gu Fei's words. "You mean, when this guy touched the key, he also found that it was used to open this woodshed, and he also found this cellar. He suspected that there was something good inside, but unfortunately, he couldn't open it and couldn't get it, so he used the firewood pile to hide it?"
Gu Fei nodded. "That's why he buried it without leaving any clues."
"Yes! This is super possible. " Sword Demon understood the psychology of all kinds of players very well. "If this is the case, this guy will definitely not come out at this time."
"Uh … I think this person is so scheming, he will definitely come out at this time!"
"Why?"
"Because the longer we stay inside, the more likely we are to find the cellar he hid. Moreover, he will worry that we are actually coming for this cellar, so he will be more eager to pull us out and clean us up, right?" Gu Fei said.
"Then isn't his action a bit too slow?"
"So it is very likely, as you said, that he is not online right now," Gu Fei said.
Sword Demon was silent for three seconds and said, "So after analyzing so much, what conclusion did we reach?"
"We are safe for the time being, but we have to leave as soon as possible. Right now is the peak period for players online, and this person may come at any time, "Gu Fei said.
"Leaving is a bit difficult …" Sword Demon glanced out of the hole again and was surrounded.
"Come, let's clean up here first." Gu Fei pointed to the cellar. "That guy is online and hears that someone entered the firewood room. He will definitely have doubts and come to take a look. If he finds that the cellar has been touched, he will probably strengthen some defensive measures, which is not good for us; if he finds that it has not been touched, the situation will remain the same, which should be better. "
Sword Demon said as he moved the firewood, "What if he remembers the original shape he moved out?"
Gu Fei was speechless. "If he is really that careful, then I am convinced …"
The two quickly piled up the firewood, hid the cellar, and clapped their hands. Right now, there was no hope of opening the cellar, and there was a danger that someone could open the door and enter at any time, so there was no time to waste here. It was necessary to leave as soon as possible.
Both of them were very busy. Gu Fei observed the other's movements from the hole to see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of. Sword Demon was describing the situation to Han Family Young Master in detail to see if there could be any help from the outside.
"Won't they come out if they die?" Han Family Young Master always wanted to taunt them first.
Sword Demon, who was used to this, ignored it calmly and continued to talk about business. "Right now, I estimate that there are about three hundred people outside." The number of people observed from the small hole was limited. Sword Demon estimated based on the density of people's positions and his memory of the outside space.
"Let Qianli kill them all!" Han Family Young Master continued to taunt.
"Do you have any ideas?" Sword Demon continued to ignore him.
"Not at the moment. You can't explain the situation clearly … I have to at least observe from the overall situation." Han Family Young Master said.
"There is no time." Sword Demon said, "The other party may open the door with the key at any time."
"If it really doesn't work, let's forcefully go offline first …"
"I think this method is feasible." Gu Fei interrupted.
This was actually also a taunt from Han Family Young Master. Who would have thought that Gu Fei would agree with it. Han Family Young Master and Sword Demon were both shocked. But forcefully going offline was something Sword Demon would never consider even if he was beaten to death.
"How about this, Qianli will go out and attract attention. You take the opportunity to sneak out. One dead is better than two dead. "Han Family Young Master suggested again.
"This method works too." Gu Fei nodded again.
"Absolutely not!" If Sword Demon was asked to attract the firepower to cover their escape, he would do it without hesitation. But if others were to sacrifice for him, he would feel bad.
"Then let's just kill them directly. Kill as many as you can. If you can rush out, then do it. If you can't, then die." Gu Fei began to simplify the complicated problem.
"Agreed. Who says we're definitely going to die? "Sword Ghost's blood was boiling.
"We will definitely die, but it depends on how many we can kill before we die." Gu Fei was not interested in imaginary miracles. He was fully aware of the extent of his strength in this situation. Do you want to rush out without dying? Unless you have unlimited mana.
"Okay … You two just wait. There will be a chance." Han Family Young Master suddenly threw out a sentence.
