Against the Drunken Singing Bandit and Archer two-in-one speed pursuit team, they were completely routed by Gu Fei's attacks. Eternal and the others, who had been focused on retreating, also stopped in their tracks. They turned around to look at this inconceivable scene. At this moment, they rejoiced that they had a character with speed like Boundless Mang in their party. Otherwise, with their Movement Speed, they might not have been able to see this scene.
"Abnormal … Too abnormal …" Everyone muttered to themselves, saying the same thing.
They knew that this wasn't the end of Dancing for Wine, but even if it was only two or three hundred people, being beaten to this state by a single person was still a shocking thing to hear.
"Can one really fight against a multitude in an online game?" A bunch of people looked at each other. Any normal gamer would never be able to keep up with Gu Fei's valiance.
Gu Fei, who was electrocuting people all over the mountain, paid great attention to his mana recovery. In a situation where he was completely in control, even after electrocuting so many people, his mana didn't decrease. Instead, it increased. At this moment, it was already full. With Upstream's command, everyone seemed to have found the right direction. They turned around and ran into the embrace of the main group. Gu Fei didn't let them go. He continued to chase behind them, releasing lightning and thunder. Upstream's face was like a sky filled with lightning, flickering between bright and dark.
"Magic formation!!!" Upstream took a step forward and roared angrily.
As the guild leader, Dancing for Wine's magic formation was personally led by him. It was their signature dish in group battles. As long as one stepped into the range of their magic formation, no one had the ability to escape. As their coordination grew more and more proficient, the magic formation's attack range reached its maximum. The positions that their magic formation couldn't reach wasn't a problem with their skill, but rather a setting of the game: Mages' magic control could only reach so far.
The Thief and Archer team returned to their party with their heads lowered, not daring to speak. They also felt very embarrassed, and were even too embarrassed to raise their heads to ask for a reply from the Priest.
No one paid attention to them. The Mages obeyed the summons of Countercurrent and stood at the front. Everyone raised their staffs high, waiting for Gu Fei to come over and then stew him in a pot of fire. However, when Gu Fei was about thirty meters away from them, he stopped moving.
The mages gripped their staffs so tightly that their hands were sweating. They stared at Gu Fei, but … Yes, Gu Fei did not take another step forward.
Thirty meters was outside of a mage's attack range! As expected of a Mage, he understood this data very well. All the Mages had been holding back their energy, waiting to erupt! In the end, Gu Fei stopped just as they were about to spit out blood. Everyone held their breaths and suffered internal injuries.
Countercurrent was indeed worthy of being the guild leader. When the Mages were about to spit out blood, he still maintained his calm and shot a chain of fireballs towards the sky, sending a message: "Advance!!!"
The Mages lined up and moved forward.
If the enemy doesn't advance, I'll advance! With this thought in mind, the enemy retreated.
"F * ck!!!" Countercurrent finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spat out blood. With Gu Fei's movement speed, in the time it took for them to advance, he had already taken three steps back. It was impossible to close the distance between them and Gu Fei.
The only ones who could close the distance were the Thieves and Archers. But this team … Going against the flow and looking back, the Thieves and Archers were all like withered willows. They didn't even dare to raise their heads. They couldn't be counted on at all …
According to Shan Ziling's understanding, if they had a Priest to heal them at that time, they wouldn't have been so utterly defeated. But the problem was that they didn't have one, and when Qianli got drunk, his movements were erratic, making it difficult for them to figure out what to do. Moreover, his eyes were sharp. Everyone wanted to take turns to eat bread, but in the end, he would attack whoever ate the bread.
Countercurrent finally understood. A team without a Priest couldn't suppress Qianli's Drunken, and a team with a Priest couldn't catch up to Qianli's Drunken … This was a dead end! Countercurrent looked at his team and asked a question: "Do you have a Priest that adds Agility?"
The guild was silent. The knowledgeable people realized this problem at this time: to suppress Qianli's Drunken, they had to have a speed that could keep up with him. From this perspective, it seemed like they had a thousand people fighting against Qianli's Drunken, but in reality, there were only three hundred people. The short-legged Warriors, Mages, and Priests didn't have a chance to fight the opponent at all. Even if there were some who added Agility, how could these professions be so extreme as to put all their points into Agility? Without this speed as a guarantee, they wouldn't even be able to face Qianli's Drunken face to face.
Having more people didn't mean that you had more power. Having more useful people was more power! By the time Countercurrent realized this, it was already too late. The three hundred people they had were no match for a single Gu Fei. In Shan Ziling's report, not only did he point out that Gu Fei definitely had the ability to recover his mana, he also suspected that Gu Fei even had equipment that could recover his health. Coupled with his agility, he was able to dodge more than 95% of the attacks that were aimed at him. He was basically immortal. In the previous exchange, Shan Ziling felt that the biggest damage that Gu Fei suffered was probably when he rushed into his own Flaming Tree Thousand Layers Flames.
At the end of the report, Shan Ziling earnestly pointed out to Countercurrent: With Drunken Qianli's awareness and skills, he had the ability to drag them down. Shan Ziling reminded Countercurrent. They didn't lose a level in the city battle, so they could afford to waste time. But Drunken Qianli could afford to waste time even more, because he was just one person with no mission or burden. If he wanted to cause trouble for Singing and Wine, he could go all out and kill at least hundreds of Singing and Wine's people every time. If he died, he would come again, and then he would bring back a few hundred more. If this continued, would they still be able to fight the city battle?
Shan Ziling's description of this ultimate scenario made Countercurrent's heart tremble. But in front of him, he was riding a tiger and couldn't back down. A thousand people had already rushed over, and then silently retreated with their tails between their legs. What kind of logic was this? At this point, did he want face or did he want his future? Going against the current, he once again encountered a difficult time to make a decision. In his heart, he deeply hated Shan Ziling for being so hateful. His analysis was so clear and logical, so why didn't he publicly say it in the guild channel so that everyone could understand? Why did he have to send a private message? If he said that to the guild members, even if they understood, it would be the same as giving in to a thousand miles of drunkenness. The one who gave the order was him, and now the one who made the decision was him. How could he still be the guild leader?
At this moment, Countercurrent even had the thought of throwing in the towel. Beside him, after seeing Gu Fei pull away from them and then stop to watch them, they began to watch Countercurrent, waiting for the guild leader to make a decision.
Countercurrent looked up the hillside, and Gu Fei also seemed to be looking down the hillside. Countercurrent wished that he could send a private message to Gu Fei at this time, but unfortunately, the system deprived him of this right. Even if they retreated now, what if Qianli didn't give up and chased after them again? Huh! If that was the case, the mage would be able to trap him with an array; if he didn't chase after them, then they could just shamelessly pretend that their plan had failed, and let Shan Ziling bring a few more people to pretend to inquire about Qianli's whereabouts, turning a big problem into a small one and a small one into nothing …
With an idea in mind, Countercurrent quickly began to implement it. He issued an order in the guild channel, which meant that if Qianli didn't attack, the array wouldn't be able to display its power. If they pretended to retreat, he would definitely come forward. The mage would hide behind them, and as soon as he entered their range, the array would be destroyed.
After everyone heard this, they also felt that there was no other way, because they really couldn't catch up to Qianli, so they could only think of a way to lure him over. At this time, Shan Ziling sent a private message to Countercurrent, "You better think carefully, if Qianli gets drunk and decides to retaliate …"
Countercurrent closed the message and blocked Shan Ziling. This guy only knows how to private message, private message your ass!!! Countercurrent was so annoying. Shan Ziling sent a message but didn't get a reply, and when he tried again, the system rejected him. Knowing that he had been blocked, he was confused. Did I say something wrong? Shan Ziling pondered.
Singing to Wine began to wriggle as the team retreated. The mage was originally standing at the front, so now that the team was reversed, they naturally retreated to the back. If Qianli got drunk, suddenly spread out, and then activated the array, it would indeed be very interesting. Everyone thought …
"He's moving!!!" In the guild channel, the spy in charge of monitoring Qianli sent a message. Everyone was excited, did he take the bait? Countercurrent's face was full of tears. In fact, he hoped that Qianli would stop chasing after him after getting drunk, and then turn a big problem into a small one and a small one into nothing! Who would have thought that Qianli would step into his trap after getting drunk … How could Countercurrent not know that this would attract endless revenge from Qianli? He was afraid of this, so he blocked Shan Ziling to vent his anger. But he had no other choice, he had to give himself a way out. He bluntly told the guild members that if Qianli couldn't deal with him after getting drunk, then retreat. Countercurrent couldn't bring himself to do this …
"Coming, coming. Mages, get ready!" This time, everyone didn't need to command Countercurrent anymore. They actively prepared for battle, especially those Thieves and Archers who had been bullied by Gu Fei. They kept urging in the channel, hoping that the mage would avenge them. They were so anxious that Countercurrent wanted to strangle them to death … Why didn't anyone in the guild who understood what was going on! Countercurrent forgot that there were people who understood what was going on, it was just that they privately messaged him, making him very unhappy.
"It's about time, just a few more steps and he'll be in range." The mages said to each other.
"We have to go a few more steps, or else we won't be able to spread out."
"Yes."
"But what do we do now? Pretend that we don't know he's behind us? " Doesn't that sound fake? "
"Should we hurry up a few steps and pretend that we're running away?"
"I don't think we need to pretend that we're afraid, because there's no need to be afraid in the first place. Just leave if we can't hit him normally, numb him, and when he lets his guard down, take a few more steps forward and we'll counterattack!" Someone said.
Everyone discussed how to get Qianli to take the bait after getting drunk. Their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, and Countercurrent wanted to die.
"We should be able to hit him from our side!!" A mage at the end, the one closest to Gu Fei in a straight line, reported.
"Relax, numb him, lure him to the bait, oh my god!!!" As this person was talking about the guidelines, a lightning bolt flashed down from the sky, and the mage closest to Gu Fei was struck until he was limp inside and out.
"He's making a move!!" Everyone shouted, and reflexively turned around to counterattack. In the end, Gu Fei retreated, and they couldn't catch up with his speed. Gu Fei was still out of their spell range, and the mages could only watch helplessly.
"What do you mean by that?" Everyone was dumbfounded. Gu Fei suddenly closed in, and with another lightning bolt, he struck that person again.
"Priests, Priests!!!" That person was about to explode from another hit, and he shouted for help. There were quite a few Priests in the army, and some promptly came over to help. The mages didn't know what to do, but the soles of their feet suddenly heated up …
"Fire Tree Thousand Layers Flames!!! Run!!! "Everyone ran, but those who were a bit slower were still burned. At this distance of thirty meters, Gu Fei was sneakily casting spells, and it really wasn't easy to notice. Gu Fei added another lightning bolt to the injured mage, and one of the mages actually died. The mages went crazy. At this distance, Gu Fei could hit them, and they could also hit Gu Fei. Thus, they chanted spells, but with so many of them, they were too big of a target. Moreover, even though there were many of them, they couldn't set up an array to cut off Gu Fei's path of retreat, because Gu Fei was in the range of the mages. When he saw the other side attack, he promptly retreated. That area of effect spell ignited, and the area where Gu Fei had been standing was unreasonably dense. Who knew how many mages had cast spells in that area, and if Gu Fei was hit, he would undoubtedly die, but the problem was that he couldn't. At this time, he circled to the edge of the flames and raised his hand to secretly cast a Heavenly Flaming Wheel. The mages counterattacked, and Gu Fei ran again …
"What's going on?"
"We seem to be being kited …"
"This is a mage's way of fighting, would Qianli still fight like this when he's drunk?"
"He just doesn't use it, but that doesn't mean he can't …"
Long-range classes had the possibility of kiting. Currently, mages often used Ice Whirlwind to slow down their opponents, and then gain the advantage of speed to kite them. There were also some mages who, to save trouble, sacrificed some Intelligence, added some Agility, and then used a pair of high-quality shoes to kill those classes without Agility. And Gu Fei's current equipment, from a conventional mage's point of view, used Agility to gain an absolute advantage in movement speed, then relied on equipment to maintain powerful magic damage, and now had equipment to maintain mana. This kind of equipment, in fact, didn't need Gu Fei. Even if Yutian Shenming, Drifting, Sword Demon, and any other expert in the game had this kind of equipment, the effect wouldn't be bad if they used the conventional way of fighting. Just like now, if the enemy advanced, they would retreat, and if the enemy retreated, they would harass. They could also harass the entire guild. The only difference was that when the enemy's three hundred Archers and Thieves moved out, these people would definitely be defeated. And Gu Fei was better at close combat, so he could beat these three hundred people until they ran all over the mountain.
A full-strength mage, Gu Fei, was lucky enough to experience it for the first time, going against the current. Invincible in close combat, returning to long-range mages, going against the current wanted to cry but had no tears. Someone suggested that the Thieves and Archers go back to cut off his retreat, and then the big team would close in, and the mages would kill him. But the Thieves and Archers shook their heads like a rattle drum. Their reasoning was also realistic. If they could stop him, they would have done it already. Why would they need to teach them?
So someone suggested that they divide into several groups to surround him, and then slowly shrink back, but it was also rejected. This was a hillside, and Qianli was drunk looking down from above. So many people's movements were seen by the enemy. There was no room for such a big movement. Would people foolishly stay where they were and wait for the enemy to surround them?
Just as everyone was nervously discussing, Gu Fei continued to harass them. Lightning was a sure hit, and no one could dodge it. Casting two AoE spells at the same time was also quite troublesome. Now that Gu Fei was near, everyone was running around like headless chickens, to prevent themselves from being put on the fire.
Gu Fei was having fun, and even threw a Wall of Electricity once, but it was very passive. As long as someone didn't go up and touch it, it basically didn't do any damage, so it was a bit of fun.
Even as they were tossing and turning, Drinking and Singing was still able to maintain the pace of their retreat. They were about to reach the end of the hill and reach the plains. Along the way, they had lost about ten people. Their losses weren't that great, but the problem was that they couldn't do anything to Thousand Miles Drunk. Going against the current hoped to hear a voice. He hoped that someone would come out and make a compromise, but there wasn't …
Compromise, to be honest, was something that only the guild could think of. In all fairness, even if they died, they wouldn't lose a level, so there wasn't anything to be afraid of. That was why everyone was still discussing how to deal with Qianli, even though they were being bullied so badly. Most of the ordinary players weren't like Going Against the Current or Shan Ziling. They didn't think about how they would be able to smoothly progress in the war. At this time, they were completely immersed in figuring out how to deal with this Boss, Qianli, and couldn't pull themselves out of it.
"Should Warriors and Priests form a team to attract aggro?" someone suggested.
"He'll run, right?"
"He'll run and throw spells at random." The Warriors and Priests shook their heads.
"Don't we have classes that add Agility?"
"We do, but we don't add as much as him. There's still a long way to go." Some classes that added Agility were worried.
"I think it's better for Thieves to sneak behind him. You guys don't have to take the initiative to attack, just stand behind him. When we Mages move forward, he'll retreat. At that time, you guys can block him. As long as you have a few seconds, we Mages can take a few steps forward, and the magic circle will fall …"
"A few steps won't work, really."
"Why?"
"Teleport, six meters. In that instant, he can still jump out of the magic circle … "
"Damn, I forgot he knows how to do that …"
"This means that if we want to hit him with the magic circle, we'll need to move six meters more than a normal person …"
"Considering his reaction speed and movement speed, I think it'll be ten meters …"
"Ten meters … Even if we all die, we won't be able to get that distance …" the Thieves said.
"This is the boundary of the magic circle. Just this alone will require us to move ten meters. In reality, we still have to move another five meters, for a total of fifteen meters, to be absolutely safe."
"Fifteen meters? Stop joking, he's basically walking around within thirty meters, he hasn't even taken a single step forward. His movement is extremely precise. Damn, he's a Mage after all. "
"What about the Archers? What if we gather the Archers and fire together?? "someone suddenly suggested.
