"That's fast!" Gu Fei was pleased. He liked efficiency.
After greeting Gu Fei, the two of them widened their eyes in shock. "The city?" The two were shocked.
"What's wrong?"
"You've successfully attacked the city?" Strange Eye asked.
"Of course not, I'm defending the city." Gu Fei said. He knew that Strange Eye would continue asking, so he decided to tell him about the faction.
"I see." Strange Eye nodded.
"So this is Cloud City? Where are the clouds? "Yan Xiaozhu asked.
"I don't know." Gu Fei scratched his head. The name of the main city in the game was usually a direct reflection of the regional style or scenery. The word "Cloud" sounded like it was sitting on top of the clouds. Logically speaking, Cloud Cloud City should be a mountain city with a very high altitude, with clouds floating halfway up the mountain. But in reality, the scenery of Cloud City couldn't be any more vulgar. Outside the door, there were plains, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes … there was everything but clouds.
"Do you see that clock tower over there?" Gu Fei pointed at the tallest building in the city. "That's really tall. When you reach the top, you'll sometimes see clouds beside it."
"That's the clouds!" Yan Xiaozhu said disdainfully.
"That's about right. The streets are full of clouds. That's your Xiayu City." Gu Fei said.
"What do you need my help with?" Strange Eye asked.
"Let's talk on the way!" Gu Fei led the two out of the city. Both sides were lined up. The battlefield was empty except for a trash picker picking up rocks in the middle of the field. Strange Eye and Yan Xiaozhu didn't understand. They looked at Gu Fei, hoping that he could explain.
"We're in a stalemate. Don't touch the NPCs, or else you'll be attacked, "Gu Fei said. Previously, he and Sword Demon had learned from Brother You about the attitude of the system soldiers towards neutral players. They wouldn't attack unless they were attacked. However, this "offending me" didn't just refer to attacking the guards. For example, if three attacking players attacked a guard while a neutral support player healed them and blessed them, the system would deem them as enemies and attack them.
Brother You sneaked into the battlefield because he didn't want to fight, but he had no choice. Brother You would always accidentally walk into a place where he needed help, and the players would call out to him, "Brother, add strength" or something like that. Once Brother You added strength, the system would treat him as an enemy! If he didn't add it, he wouldn't be able to take it if he didn't add a bunch of people who were glaring at him.
"How's the fight over there?" Gu Fei asked as he walked.
"Who knows? What can we see over there!" Yan Xiaozhu said. Spectators were the absolute weakest group in Xia Wu City. They couldn't even see a chicken feather if they were more than twenty to thirty meters away. It was said that the players of Dawn Fog City and Forest Shade City had recently joined forces to protest to the game company, saying that the settings of these two cities were a bit too evil, which greatly affected the players' leveling lives. On the game experience leaderboard, these two cities had the least number of players. However, even though the overall ratio was small, both cities were at the top. Forest Shade City's former Water Depth and Xia Wu City's current Strange Pupil were both at the level of the Top Five. In terms of overall level, according to the official statistics, the main city with the lowest average level was neither Xia Wu City nor Forest Shade City, but Moonlit Night City. Of course, everyone knew the reason, which was why the official forum had been arguing about it recently!
As the three of them walked, Gu Fei told them about what Strange Pupil of Hope had done. Strange Pupil's footsteps slowed down as he listened, and in the end, he stopped. "Under the water?"
"Yeah!" Gu Fei finally had some humanity left in him. He asked, "Do you know how to swim?"
"Nope! You should've asked that earlier! "Strange Pupil felt that he wouldn't be able to complete this mission.
"Actually, that's not the point. I don't know how to swim either, but I've been there before. Look …" Gu Fei imparted his diving skills to Strange Pupil, but it was clearly not convincing. Strange Pupil looked very reluctant.
"It's a game, it's not that difficult. Even if you drown in the end … Hmm, you won't lose levels during the city war, and you won't be registered. That's right, you'll be teleported back to Xia Wu City! Hmm, I think this is a good idea. You don't have to come back in the end. Just drown and teleport back. That'll save you a Teleportation Scroll. Xiao Zhu, do you know how to swim? No, we can go down together, "Gu Fei said sincerely. Theoretically, third-party players should be able to enjoy the benefits of not losing levels. However, this time, it was unknown whether the system was being kind or too lazy to set up the rules, but the third-party players were able to enjoy the benefits of not losing levels. After realizing this, the third-party players who were leveling up today were extremely arrogant. They killed monsters, fought for territory, and PK. They did not care about their lives anymore. Their lives were worthless!
"You're inhumane!" Even so, Yan Xiaozhu still objected to Gu Fei's suggestion of drowning.
Strange Pupil was furious, but since he was already here, he had no choice but to say, "Let's go take a look first!"
The three of them chatted as they walked. The system NPC did not look at them, but the guild players on the other side were staring at them. What was going on? They had tried so hard to get through the city gate, but these people were so carefree. Who were they?
Strange Pupil felt the atmosphere was strange. "Since you're the defender, then these …" She pointed at the guild players on the other side. "They're all enemies!"
"Yes," Gu Fei said.
"Then isn't this too arrogant?" Strange Pupil said.
"It is, but they don't dare to come over," Gu Fei said.
"Why?"
"Do you see the rocks on the ground? They'll just come over. Isn't this the same in Xiayu City? "Gu Fei asked.
"If Xiayu City is like this, then don't attack this city," Strange Pupil said. This was the truth. You only noticed the rocks when they were right in front of you. What's the point of hiding? You'd just die.
"Let's do this for now. We'll sneak into the crowd and pass through," Gu Fei said, "Don't fight the NPCs, and you can't buff other players either."
"Got it. Why would we buff other players?" Yan Xiaozhu said impatiently.
"I heard you can't even pass bread or water," Gu Fei said sternly. This was Gu Fei's lie. He hoped that the two of them would take his words seriously. He had passed through the crowd many times, and he had almost been provoked by the fighting spirit to rise up with the players. Brother You also died five times because of this. Otherwise, you wouldn't have learned your lesson and died five times. It was the environment that affected people. That atmosphere made people have the urge to rush up and start a massacre.
When they entered the battlefield, Gu Fei finally understood the difference between men and women. Yan Xiaozhu was usually a lively girl, but now her eyes were cold. There were often players shouting beside them.
"Beauty, over here, give him a stab!"
"Beauty, over here, Whirlwind."
The two of them did not even look and walked on. On the other hand, Gu Fei was immersed in the thick murderous intent and almost could not control himself.
"This is too much suffering." Gu Fei was in pain. This was a great temptation to him. He had to use all his cultivation to calm himself down.
Gu Fei picked them up and sent a message to Sword Demon. Actually, this quest had nothing to do with Sword Demon, but Sword Demon also wanted to see what was going on, so he immediately rushed back to Yunjiao Lake, arriving earlier than them.
The customs and culture of Yunjiao Lake had to be introduced. Just as Gu Fei said, "Be careful of stepping on people," the two girls asked curiously, "Who?"
Gu Fei was a practical person. He immediately cast a spell. The group of people jumped up and cursed again, but when they saw the two beautiful girls, they were at a loss. Everyone thought that girls would not do such bad things. Of course, this bad thing was not done by the two girls. The murderer was squatting beside them!
"Damn it, who is it? Over and over again, are you looking for death? "A few of them were angry and cursed for a long time before stopping.
"You're too bad …" Yan Xiaozhu said to Gu Fei.
"I just want to speak with facts. I want to describe it verbally. Can you understand it so vividly?" Gu Fei spread his hands.
When he arrived, the Sword Ghost was already waiting for him. They had met in Xia Wu City, so they casually greeted each other.
"Did I remember the location correctly?" Sword Demon said.
"That's right." Gu Fei took out the torn paper and checked it again, then looked around, "Find a piece of wood!"
"Wait, I said to take a look. I haven't agreed yet!" Strange Pupil said.
"Then take a look," Gu Fei said.
Yan Xiaozhu walked a few steps into the lake and kicked the mud. She looked like she was about to vomit, "Sis, it's so dirty. Do you really want to go into the water?"
"Why are you still doing it when it's dirty? The more you do it, the dirtier it gets. This kid is so naughty!" Gu Fei criticized Yan Xiaozhu.
"You're so unkind. You asked for help for something like this," Yan Xiaozhu said.
"I can't help it! Drifting said you knew this kind of spell. Why don't you recommend someone else? Who else can do it? "Gu Fei said.
"Brother Drifting recommended someone?" Yan Xiaozhu's eyes lit up. "Sis, help him!"
"Damn, you can't be serious, right? You changed your attitude so quickly? Drifting has such a big reputation? You like him? That kid is not a good person. He almost killed me in your city, "Gu Fei said.
"Then why don't you go die?" Yan Xiaozhu roared.
"Is there anyone who can control this child? He's lost his mind! "Gu Fei shouted.
Yan Xiaozhu was angry, but after being called out by Strange Pupil, she immediately calmed down. She just glared at Gu Fei again.
"How deep is the water?" Strange Pupil asked.
"Three or four meters, I think?" Gu Fei asked Sword Demon.
"Four or five meters, I think," Sword Demon said.
"Three or four meters," Gu Fei said to Strange Pupil.
"You have no idea!" Strange Pupil couldn't hold it in anymore.
"If you really want to know the exact answer, I'll measure it for you," Gu Fei said.
Strange Pupil was silent for a moment. "I have another question."
"What?"
"How do I chant it underwater?" Strange Pupil asked.
"Ah … how do I chant it? How do I chant it? "Gu Fei asked Sword Demon.
"How would I know! Who's a sorcerer? "Sword Demon said.
"This … you know how good I am as a sorcerer!" Gu Fei was in a difficult position.
Strange Pupil was at his wit's end. He said, "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself!"
"You agree? That's great. Sword Demon, get me a piece of wood. " Gu Fei took out a rope from his pocket and gave it to Strange Pupil. "Tie this around your waist. We don't know how to swim, right? Ask them to pull us up. Sword Demon, get some help. "
"What do you need a piece of wood for?" Strange Pupil asked.
"Carry it and float it over. You don't know how to swim either, right?" Gu Fei said.
"Just fly over," Strange Pupil said.
"Fly? Oh … you can fly! " Gu Fei suddenly remembered that Strange Pupil knew a flight spell. They had all climbed the walls in Xiayu City, but Strange Pupil had flown over them.
"I still need a piece of wood. I can't teleport that far." Gu Fei sighed. The Sword Ghost had already picked up a piece of rotten wood for him. He called out to the people around him. The group of brothers from before were still there, and they were so enthusiastic. When they heard that they were going to come back again, they all hurriedly came over.
"Let's go!" Gu Fei pushed the piece of wood into the water and flopped around with it. He turned around and saw Strange Pupil still standing by the shore. He quickly called out to him.
"You go first. I'll fly when you arrive. I can't stay in the air for too long," Strange Pupil said.
"Big Sis, I can't stay in the water and wait for you. Can you just follow me at this speed?" Gu Fei asked.
"Then I'll go later," Strange Pupil said.
When Gu Fei had floated half the distance with the piece of wood, Strange Pupil waved his staff. Everyone felt a small whirlwind blow past them. Strange Pupil was already in the air, chasing after Gu Fei.
"Wow!" The players were shocked. They had never seen a spell like that before.
Yan Xiaozhu was quite pleased. She held the rope around Strange Pupil's waist and turned around. "It's like flying a kite."
Gu Fei looked up and felt quite depressed. It was so cool to be flying in the air. Looking at himself, he was foolishly flopping around. Today's quest was really not dignified at all. Still, the quest to kill people was more comfortable.
Gu Fei was almost at the destination. The distance was not a big deal. Gu Fei looked up and saw Strange Pupil looking at him from above. He called out, "It's almost time! Get ready. "
Strange Eye's face flashed nervously. This was the fear of the unknown.
"Don't be afraid. Just grab me when you fall," Gu Fei said.
Strange Pupil did not say anything.
"Are you ready? Take a breather. "
Strange Pupil closed his eyes.
"I'm going too fast!"
"He's here!" Strange Eye yelled. He suddenly fell from the sky. Gu Fei quickly pulled out a heavy object from his pocket. Even the piece of wood he was holding sank with him. Strange Pupil fell beside him with a splash. Gu Fei grabbed her and put down the piece of wood. The two of them quickly sank into the water.
Gu Fei was experienced. He opened his eyes the moment he was in the water. He looked to the side. Strange Pupil's eyes were still tightly shut, and her expression was stiff.
They soon reached the bottom of the water. Gu Fei shook Strange Pupil's head. This was the signal they had agreed on. Strange Pupil's expression was still stiff, but she slowly opened her eyes. However, she quickly closed them again. Gu Fei knew how it felt. He shook her head helplessly, indicating that she was fine. He dragged her towards the water barrier.
Strange Eye held his breath and knew that he could not stay underwater for too long. Finally, he opened his eyes in one go. It hurt! But the feeling was exactly the same as what Gu Fei had described. She was relieved. She looked at Gu Fei, who was gesturing to her. Strange Pupil reached out and touched the water barrier. Gu Fei nodded, indicating that it was the water barrier.
Strange Pupil took a step back. She took out her staff and pointed it at the water barrier. She covered her mouth with her left hand, preparing to cast a spell. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, bubbles appeared between her hands. Obviously, water had gone into her mouth. Of course, she could not make any sound, so she could not cast the spell. Gu Fei could not care less. He quickly reached out and covered her mouth. Gu Fei did not know if he had done it, but he tried his best. Strange Pupil struggled for a while, and Gu Fei received a message. "Be gentle, I can't even open my mouth!"
Gu Fei quickly loosened his grip, and Strange Eye took the opportunity to complete his incantation. With a tap of his wand, a bright blue light appeared, and a few rays of light climbed up the Water Barrier. Wherever they passed, a thin layer of ice formed.
Before Gu Fei could rejoice, the water barrier became so fragile. There was no need for anyone to break it. The water pressure at the bottom of the lake easily broke it. Gu Fei and Strange Pupil felt a strong suction force coming from the hole. After the barrier disappeared, the lake water flowed rapidly, and the two of them were about to be sucked in.
"Pull!!!" Gu Fei immediately sent out a message.
"Mistake!!!" The Sword Ghost replied quickly. It turned out that the moment the barrier was broken, there was a strong pulling force coming from the rope. At this moment, the players on the shore were casually holding onto the ends of the ropes. They weren't prepared to exert any strength at all. Faced with such a sudden force, no one was able to react in time. With a whoosh, several people lost their grip. The players who were holding onto the ends of the ropes tightened their grip. Who would've thought that the two of them wouldn't be able to resist the suction force? They were directly dragged into the water along with the ropes. At this moment, the two of them didn't dare to hold onto the ropes and let go. One of them knew how to swim, so he swam up on his own. The other could not. He struggled in the water, screaming for help. It was a mess on the shore.
Gu Fei's reaction was fast. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the rock at the entrance of the cave. However, his little bit of strength was also very weak. This grab was just a formality. In the next step, he had already let go of the rock. With a whoosh, he was washed into the cave. Strange Pupil did not even have time to react. He was already in the cave. Gu Fei helped out at the last moment. Even though he did not manage to separate the two of them, he managed to grab hold of Strange Pupil and he was swept into the cave even faster.
"Teleportation Scroll!" Gu Fei said as he reached into his pocket. He would not lose a level if he died, and he could return to Xia Wu City on the way. Gu Fei was just joking. He was not an irresponsible person. Not losing a level if he died and helping Strange Pupil escape were two different things.
He took out the Teleportation Scroll and used it immediately. The scroll did not lose its effect underwater. He immediately set up a Teleportation Formation.
"F * ck!" Gu Fei cursed and drank a mouthful of water. The Teleportation Formation had appeared, but the two of them were no longer within its range. The water had swept the two of them away, but the Teleportation Formation was still operating!
Gu Fei was dizzy from the force of the water. Strange Pupil was probably not faring any better. The river was full of waves. Gu Fei only knew that he was still holding onto the person, but he could not see clearly.
Gu Fei struggled to look ahead. It was dark, so he had no idea what was in front of him. However, an idea came to him. He let go of Strange Pupil and pointed forward. "Teleport!"
