All roads lead to Rome. Yunjiao Lakeside was just an open-air location, so there were naturally countless options to get to this place. The biggest advantage of the path opened up by the system wasn't that it was close, but that it allowed players to focus on their journey and wouldn't be harassed by monsters along the way. If players wanted to take a shortcut, they would inevitably be harassed by monsters along the way. They might even bump into a high-leveled area. Not only would they not be able to get through, but they might even lose their lives if they tried to force their way through.
These problems weren't a problem for these four people. First, they were fast, and second, Gu Fei and Yutian Shenming were fast at clearing monsters. If they could avoid the monsters, they would. If they couldn't avoid them, they would kill them in two or three hits. It didn't take long before they reached the back of the mountain range beside Yunjiao Lakeside.
"Let's go up from here!" Xi Xiaotian raised his head and said.
The other three nodded. This place seemed to be Yunjiao Lakeside's territory. There weren't many monsters, and the atmosphere was ambiguous. Yutian Shenming was clearly excited.
Yunjiao Lakeside was also very large. When the four reached the top of the mountain, they could only see the rippling lake and the reeds. It was a bit far.
"The small wooden hut is over there." Gu Fei pointed. This target was relatively close.
"Haha, isn't that the place where you were killed by the Honor Kill?" Slender Waist Dance laughed.
"Look, what a big lake." Gu Fei said.
The three looked at him strangely, not knowing why he was suddenly sighing.
"Someone swam like this before." Gu Fei gestured.
"You're looking to die!" Slender Waist Dance clenched her teeth.
Xi Xiaotian laughed and looked around: "I don't see any NPCs here."
"But there's already a forest here. If there are people in the forest, they should be protecting the forest, right? Looking for people in the forest is troublesome. "Yutian Shenming said.
"Yeah, follow closely. Don't get lost." Gu Fei said.
Yutian Shenming was in tears, but he knew that Gu Fei was not mocking him this time. It was a genuine and kind reminder, so he could not reprimand Gu Fei for not keeping his promise.
"I think it would be more efficient if we split up," Xi Xiaotian suggested.
"Or we can shout out her name. Maybe she'll come looking for us," Yutian Shenming said.
"Mm, let's do it this way. The three of us will split up and look for her. Yutian, you stay here and call her name." Gu Fei nodded.
"I …" Yutian Shenming felt that he was asking for trouble.
So the three of them split up, and Yutian Shenming's affectionate call to Courtney echoed on the hillside. In the end, Courtney did not appear, and many players were woken up. Many figures came out from the haystacks and bushes. They all tried to look in this direction, wanting to see which idiot had lost his wife.
Gu Fei and the other two each picked a direction and split up. Be careful of ambushes. This was Gu Fei's warning to everyone. Luckily, NPCs were stylish. They would not bend down to hide in the reeds, so the target should still be very obvious. Not long after the three of them split up, Xi Xiaotian sent a message to the three of them, saying that he had found the target by the lake. Gu Fei and Slim Waist Dance quickly arrived. Yutian Shenming sent a message to Gu Fei: "Have you come to pick me up?"
Gu Fei sighed, and could only run over to fetch this guy. Xi Xiaotian and Slim Waist Dance did not act rashly. They still stood on the hillside and followed Courtney from afar. When Gu Fei and Yutian Shenming rushed back, Xi Xiaotian pointed and said, "Looks like you were right. There is indeed an ambush."
Gu Fei took a look and couldn't help but laugh. The reeds were very high, but Courtney still showed half of her body when she walked normally. However, the movement of her footsteps seemed to be a little too strong. The reeds within a radius of tens of meters would tremble along with her. The figure inside was basically faintly discernible. This ambush was a little too stupid.
Of course, Gu Fei didn't know the complexity of this. With Ye Xiaowu, the four major guilds rushed here from the Cloud Mine. With their manpower, it was naturally faster to find Courtney. The four major guild leaders all sent their trusted aides to communicate with Courtney and try to dig up quests, but they found nothing. Ye Xiaowu also didn't give the four a clear hint, which made the four of them a little unhappy. Making such a stupid ambush was naturally a competition between the four of them. They all wanted to get the quest, so they personally led their subordinates to circle around Courtney. No one was willing to back down. Every time it came to a critical moment, the cooperation of these guys was always a joke.
"There's a problem. Even if the Han Family Young Master knew we were coming here to do quests, how did he know we were looking for this NPC? Normal players wouldn't know this NPC by the Cloud Suburb Lake, right? Is the Han Family Young Master someone who often comes here to play? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"I don't think so …" Gu Fei said. The Han Family Young Master was an evil guy that people couldn't stand. Love? It was a waste of such a beautiful word to put on that guy. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was committing a crime.
"And I don't think it's him. I don't think that guy would make such a funny ambush. Look, look, his butt is exposed and he's still crawling!" Gu Fei said.
"No matter who it is, how did they know we were looking for Courtney?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"There are so many players, so there must be someone who knows there's an NPC here. It's a quest, so wouldn't we have to interact with NPCs, so we came to try?" Gu Fei said.
"How could they be so stupid?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Also, you said that their setup was very exposed. Uh, if it was an ambush, then it was exposed. But maybe their goal was to protect us and prevent us from interacting with Courtney. Maybe the ambush was just a convenience?" Xi Xiaotian continued to analyze.
"What you said makes sense." Gu Fei nodded and looked back at the other two. "What do you guys think?"
"There should be a lot of men and women in the bushes. Why didn't any of them come out when they stepped over here?" Yutian Shenming also knew how to think.
"This …" Gu Fei was startled and immediately reacted. "The bushes were filled with their people?"
"Looks like it …" Xi Xiaotian nodded. "They came one step earlier and had already set up the trap. The ones that didn't move in the reeds were the real ambush. These guys following them, maybe they were just a cover? " Even Xi Xiaotian couldn't guess that these guys following them were ready to rush over and snatch the quest at any time.
"They set it up beforehand? Do they know Courtney's movement route?" Slender Waist Dance said.
"Uh, maybe there are players who are familiar with this NPC?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Wait, it can't be that guy, right?" Gu Fei suddenly thought of someone. He pulled up his friend list and saw that he was indeed online. He sent a message over. "You're here to cause trouble again?"
"Qianli Drunk is here." Ye Xiaowu, who received the message, ignored Gu Fei and quickly revealed the information to the four guild leaders.
"How did you know?" The four were shocked. They had all left spies along the way, but none of them had received any information about Qianli Drunk. How did this guy know first?
"He sent me a message. He guessed that I was here," Ye Xiaowu said.
"You guys … What's your relationship?" The four were confused.
Ye Xiaowu didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked, "You all have spies, right?"
The four nodded and explained the situation of their spies.
"Looks like they didn't take the main road. They took a detour," Ye Xiaowu said.
The four guild leaders nodded. This was something that couldn't be prevented. The map was so big. If they wanted to take a detour, they would be everywhere. The four guilds couldn't watch the entire Yunjiao Lakeside.
"He noticed me. It looks like he's already noticed the situation with the NPC. That means he's nearby." Ye Xiaowu said and looked around.
The four guild leaders were full of confidence. "We've already set up an ambush in the reeds. The NPC is also surrounded by our guild's most elite members. No matter how strong Qianli Drunk is, I don't think he can fight us head-on. "
"He has to come into contact with this NPC, right?" The four asked Ye Xiaowu.
"Although it's not absolute, there's at least an 80% chance that he took this route. Now that he's here, there's no doubt about it. "Ye Xiaowu said.
"Then we'll wait for him to walk into the trap!" The four were happy. They could kill Qianli Drunk again.
"Unless he …"
"Unless he what?" The four became nervous when they heard that there was a twist.
"Qianli Drunk!!" Suddenly, someone shouted in the reeds. They'd obviously found their target.
"Where?" The four guild leaders said in unison.
"The northwest slope!"
It was inconvenient for them to observe the outside if they hid in the reeds. Now that they'd received a clear report, they poked their heads out slightly. As expected, the familiar and terrifying black figure was running down from the northwest slope. The four guild leaders were full of confidence before, but now they felt nervous for no reason. They each ordered, "Get ready!"
Everyone held onto their weapons and hid themselves, waiting for Gu Fei to enter their encirclement before launching an ambush. Unexpectedly, Gu Fei didn't run over. He stopped when he was a hundred meters away and shouted, "Courtney! Angus isn't dead! "
These words were clearly heard by everyone in the reeds. The players were confused. They didn't know what Qianli was up to. Ye Xiaowu said gloomily, "He really did this."
"What's going to happen?" The four guild leaders were shocked.
The answer was out. Courtney, who had been closely grouped with them, suddenly froze when she heard the shout. She quickly turned her head to look at Gu Fei. Gu Fei consolidated his results and shouted again. Courtney didn't say anything and quickly ran toward Gu Fei.
"F * ck!" The four guild leaders finally knew what Gu Fei was up to. This NPC didn't need the players to come and serve her. She could be summoned by shouting. This defied common sense in online games. Normally, in online games, the players would pretend to be the grandsons of the NPCs and carefully serve them in exchange for rewards. However, this NPC was too useless. She looked like she was in a hurry to complete some kind of quest.
"Stop, stop her!!!" The four guild leaders had an idea and decided to surround this NPC.
"No!" Ye Xiaowu quickly stopped them. But the players obviously listened to their guild leaders. Who cared about Ye Xiaowu? They all went forward to block the way.
"What's wrong?" The four guild leaders hurriedly asked Ye Xiaowu.
"Stopping her is making her an enemy. What do you think will happen?" Ye Xiaowu said.
Two streaks of white light. The seemingly unremarkable female forest watchers attacked without the slightest hesitation. The players wanted to surround the NPC and not let her leave. In the end, she came over and stabbed two of them to death. Then she didn't make things difficult for the others. She just continued to run. Her speed was actually quite fast.
"Is it a Thief?" NPCs that could fight usually had a profession. The players saw that this NPC used a dagger and moved so quickly, so they quickly came to this conclusion.
"Godly Thief, Sharpshooter, Lurker, three professions," Ye Xiaowu said. This was where NPCs were shameless. They didn't have the same profession as players and often had multiple professions.
"If we kill her, will the Drunk Qianli quest not be completed?" The four guild leaders asked.
Ye Xiaowu froze and then nodded. "Indeed, it won't be completed on this line."
"Say so earlier!" The four guild leaders grumbled at Ye Xiaowu and immediately ordered the players to prepare to kill Courteney.
Ye Xiaowu hesitated but finally opened his mouth. "If you kill her, your quest will also be stuck here!"
"Stop, stop, stop!!!!" The four guild leaders roared and then turned to glare at Ye Xiaowu. "What's going on?"
"Both of you are in the same quest system," Ye Xiaowu said.
"But didn't you say there would be multiple routes? Can't we just take another route? "The four said.
"That's right, but I have to remind you that my goal is to stop the destruction and influence of Qianli's Drunk. It's not to help you guys with the quest," Ye Xiaowu said.
"You said that a long time ago!" Unchung Mutsu said.
"Are you saying that you won't give us any hints about the other routes?" "That's right," Jiang Chen said. "Are you saying that you won't give us any hints about the other routes?
"That's right." Ye Xiaowu nodded.
The four guild leaders glanced at each other. In the guild channel, their subordinates anxiously urged, "Do we do it? Do we do it? We're about to run out! We're about to run out! "
"Do it!" Unsworn Sword blurted out. Unchung Mutsu and Black Index Finger also nodded resolutely. This Cleric claimed that he wouldn't help on other routes, but on this route, when did he give any hints? The four guilds had been busy for so long, but they still couldn't figure out what this quest was about. What information, what background, what did Qianli mean when he was drunk? Why did this NPC run when he heard it?
The four guild leaders realized that whether it was this route in front of them or the other routes that they hadn't discovered yet, it was all the same to them. If they left this NPC behind, they wouldn't know how to complete the quest. Instead, they would let Qianli have a chance to complete his quest. It wasn't worth it. Rather than that, they might as well give up this opportunity. What was even better was that Against the Current guy's quest was also interrupted!!!
Perhaps this last point was the reason why Unsworn Sword and the others were so determined. Against the Current didn't even have time to say anything. The three of them had already organized their own guilds to attack Courteney.
"F * ck, you three!!" Against the Current's thoughts were more meticulous. At the beginning, he had already considered the gains and losses of the quest, but the other three's determination surprised him. Then, he saw that the three of them didn't even pay attention to him and rushed forward to attack. It took him a moment to realize that he was different from the three of them! His quest was still on this route, so he wasn't completely clueless. He still had a chance to complete this quest.
"Guild leader Against the Current, think of the big picture!" Unsworn Sword said sincerely.
"We know that your guild seems to be involved in this quest, but look, right now, Qianli is closer to the end after getting drunk. We have to do this," Unchung Mutsu said.
"The sacrifice of Singing and Drinking will be remembered by all the players in Cloud City." Black Index Finger was acting like a representative here.
The three of them echoed each other. Against the Current was furious, but what could he do? Even if he could save her, he had no clue. During this period of time, the kid who was assigned a mission thirty miles away had been running around like a dog. He would go around and talk to people whenever there was something. Previously, when he found out that Courtney was an important person, he went against the flow and sent someone thirty miles away to try and probe her 800 times, but to no avail. It seemed like there was no difference whether he had a quest or not. He didn't know how to continue. Against the Current thought. He made up his mind and didn't say anything else. What was the point of saying anything? Turning hostile? One of them couldn't beat three guilds.
With the guild leader's order to kill, the players didn't stop Courteney. The thick-skinned Warriors stacked together and started to provoke Courteney.
Ye Xiaowu couldn't help but say, "It's useless. She won't generate aggro right now. She'll just get drunk on Qianli."
"F * ck, what kind of monster is this!" The four guild leaders cursed.
"Surround her with people," Ye Xiaowu reminded.
"We've done that a long time ago," the four guild leaders said. In terms of commanding, none of them were weak.
But it wasn't that easy. How could they just focus on killing the NPCs? Gu Fei discovered that this group of people wanted to fight to the death, and had already rushed over to provide support. He teleported into the encirclement and actually cooperated with Courteney's attack, slashing out an opening with his sword.
"What did you just say?" In the end, Courteney stopped running. She pulled Gu Fei over and started saying her lines.
Gu Fei didn't answer. He took out the necklace and showed it to Courteney. Courteney held it, tears welling up in her eyes. She muttered to herself, "Angus, it really is Angus!"
"Where is he?" Courteney quickly asked Gu Fei.
Suddenly, there was a mess of screams around him. Gu Fei looked around in surprise. The surrounding players were all crazy for some reason. They suddenly attacked and screamed at the same time. It was so noisy that he couldn't hear anything.
"Is this going to work?" The four guild leaders asked Ye Xiaowu. They hoped that the sound waves would disrupt Gu Fei and Courteney so that they wouldn't be able to communicate.
Ye Xiaowu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's useless against NPCs, but it might work against players …" This player's weird tricks were beyond his imagination.
"Stop wasting time! If we don't escape, how are we going to see Angus? "Gu Fei roared.
The NPC was indeed unaffected by the noise. He nodded firmly. "I must see Angus!!!"
"It's over …" Ye Xiaowu shook his head.
"What's over?" The four guild leaders didn't understand.
Courteney took out the longbow on her back and nocked ten long arrows at once. She raised her hand and released. The arrows flew out in a fan shape, instantly killing ten people!
"F * ck, she's stronger than me!" Gu Fei was shocked.
"The boss is going berserk," Ye Xiaowu said to the four guild leaders.
