The four of them looked at each other. They didn't know how to talk to the NPC in this situation.
Luckily, a quest was still a quest. The system couldn't freeze the screen at this moment and keep "Loading", right? So after a moment of silence, Courtney finally turned her head.
"Are you okay?" Gu Fei asked. He felt that it was a bit funny to have this kind of conversation with an NPC. In the end, he didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the game, so he couldn't get into character.
Courtney seemed to understand the meaning behind Gu Fei's concern. She nodded and got up, still hugging Angus tightly in her arms.
"What are you going to do?" Gu Fei asked directly.
"Find a place to bury Angus." Courtney said softly.
"Where to?" Gu Fei asked.
"Cloud Suburb Lake." Courtney said.
"We still have to go back there?" Gu Fei was startled.
The meaning behind this sentence was something that Courtney obviously didn't understand. She didn't say anything else and walked in front with Angus' corpse.
"What do we do if we run into a battle?" Gu Fei was depressed. The opponent's background was clear. They were from the four big guilds. Gu Fei couldn't underestimate the power of their combined numbers.
"We don't even need to go to Cloud Suburb Lake. If they chase after us, we'll crash into each other." Yutian Shenming said.
"I have a risky idea." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Speak." Gu Fei said.
"Let Courtney go by herself." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh?" Gu Fei was deep in thought.
"Then wouldn't she be killed by the guild? Although she's very strong, I think she's still within the range of players who can kill her. She's not even as strong as Haze Assassin. "Yutian Shenming said.
"Indeed not." Gu Fei nodded.
"If we go together and run into people from the four big guilds, they'll think of ways to ruin our quest. But if it's just the NPC, they might think that our quest isn't here anymore. What reason do we have to make things difficult for a powerful NPC? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"I'm just afraid they won't think so because of that guy." Gu Fei was worried about Ye Xiaowu. "That guy is from the game company. He's very familiar with the game's mission plot. Just like now, even we don't know if Courtney will have anything to do with us after burying Angus, but he definitely knows. "
"That's perfect." Xi Xiaotian smiled. "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to know too much. If he thinks that he's infallible, he might even lead himself astray."
"What do you mean?" Gu Fei said.
"For example, if we don't follow Courtney, then we don't know what we can do next, but he will know. As long as there is a possibility that we can complete the quest without following Courtney, then he will think that we have taken this quest route. He will think that we have changed the direction of the quest," Xi Xiaotian said.
"What if there isn't such a path?" Gu Fei said.
"Parallel world quests always have a high degree of freedom. Different ways of doing things will lead to different quest routes. This has been proven by many players. Especially for such a complicated quest, it's impossible for it to be a single path. So I think it's entirely possible that there's a twist after this plot. Let's pretend like this! "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Are you two done discussing? Courtney is about to go far!" Slim Waist Dance shouted.
"There's someone over there!" Yutian Shenming looked around and found something.
"Who?" Gu Fei asked.
"It's stopped moving. I can barely see it from this distance. I think it's a marksman. It's a marksman who chased after us to observe our movements from afar. "Yutian Shenming said.
"Not a bad chance." Xi Xiaotian said.
Gu Fei thought about it and finally nodded. "Let's do it this way!"
So the four of them didn't care about where Courtney went. They pretended that nothing had happened and walked in another direction. Their footsteps were firm and no one looked back.
"What's going on?" There were only the three guild leaders left at Cloud Suburb Lake. After Gu Fei's group left, they didn't dare to chase after them too quickly, but they couldn't just let them go like this. After that, the three of them sent marksmen to track the direction in which they left. They observed their movements from afar and waited for an opportunity to act.
The marksmen all kept their eyesight to the limit to observe. Apart from counting five people, they didn't find anything else. The guild leaders kept asking what was going on, and the scouts were a bit annoyed. What could they see from so far away? The guild leaders' orders were to put safety first and just observe from afar. Now that they kept asking, if they didn't go forward and die, what could they find?
There were still players who were brave and willing to sacrifice themselves. Just as a small scout was about to continue to follow and find out something even if he died, he suddenly realized that the other party had already split up.
There were four people on one side and one person on the other.
One of them was heading in their direction, while the other four were heading in another direction. Among the four, there was a red shirt and a black robe. Of course, Qianli was with them.
"Guild leader, the latest situation is that they have split up." The news was quickly passed.
"Split up? What does that mean? "
"One person and four people have split up. One person is heading in our direction, getting closer and closer … Uh, it seems like an NPC. The NPC seems to be heading back to Cloud Suburb Lake. Qianli and the rest are not with the NPC. "
"Has the mission been completed?" The three guild leaders were shocked. Ye Xiaowu said that once the mission was completed, the defending side would be in danger.
"Where did Qianli and the rest go?" Sword Without Oath asked his subordinate.
"I don't know … Looking at the direction … It seems like they're heading toward the resurrection camp!" After making this judgment, the scout was shocked.
"F * ck!" Sword Without Oath jumped. "Which resurrection camp?"
"The one in the southwest corner!"
The defending players of the two camps that had been destroyed were too traumatized. When they heard the news, they panicked. Sword Without Oath knew that it was too late for their entire army to return now, so he quickly contacted the other guild leaders and told them that the defending players had made a move again. It seemed like they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on the resurrection camp. He told them to be careful and be prepared.
The players were in an uproar. The two camps that had been destroyed were the defending players' own doing. At first, they were casually provoked by Gu Fei's Sword Demon, and the guards of the camps were treated as spies to be killed. Moreover, they were wiped clean. Such a big joke was too embarrassing to say. It was only these two camps that had such a big gap that the defending players took advantage of it. However, the remaining five camps were all guarded by elite guards. The defending players did not have many people, so how could they take over the other camps?
Although they felt that this matter was exaggerated, no one dared to ignore the news jointly issued by the three guild leaders. Therefore, the various guilds dispatched their men to the resurrection camp in the southwest corner. The three guild leaders also continued to send out Sharpshooters to follow Gu Fei's group of four from hundreds of meters away.
The three guild leaders also knew that the defending players would not be able to take down the remaining five resurrection camps with their current strength. However, Qianli's group had such intentions. The three of them could not help but suspect that they had obtained some powerful reward from the quest just now. Almost at the same time, the three of them thought of what the knowledgeable Hongchen Yixiao had told them. "The players of Moonlit Night City have completed the quest and received the help of the Werewolf army."
"Could it be that there are NPCs helping them?" The three of them looked at each other and shouted almost at the same time. Next, they quickly thought of Courtney's powerful combat strength. Could it be that Qianli's group had successfully obtained a group of forest guards? That would be a devastating blow to the attacking players.
"Quick! Look around and see if there are any NPCs gathering. "The three guild leaders quickly began to dispatch their subordinates. The three of them did not forget to inform Countercurrent of all this messy news. They heard that this guy had just been killed by an Honor Kill. He must be in great pain, but there was no way he could escape from his troubles just like that. The three of them told Countercurrent half of their intention was to make things worse, to make things even more troublesome for Countercurrent.
"Did you add that guy as a friend?" Unchung Mutsu asked.
"I'm contacting him," Unsworn Sword said. He knew who the guy Unchung Mutsu was referring to was.
Ye Xiaowu, full of confidence, had come to stop Gu Fei again. In the end, he was killed by Gu Fei with a single slash before he could do anything. Ye Xiaowu felt quite depressed. After leaving the resurrection camp, he was slowly returning to Yunjiao Lakeside when he suddenly received a message from Unsworn Sword, asking him about Thousand Miles Drunk's next move.
"Next step? That depends on how they interact with the NPCs. Didn't you send someone to scout? "Ye Xiaowu asked.
"Of course! Currently, Qianli's group of four has split up with the NPCs. The NPCs are on their way back to the Cloud Suburb Lake, while Qianli's group of four is heading to the resurrection camp in the southwest direction, "Unsworn Sword said.
Ye Xiaowu was startled. Leaving the NPCs and heading to the southwest camp? What kind of plot was this? Were they going to the southwest camp, or were they going somewhere along the way? Ye Xiaowu thought about it carefully, not forgetting to ask, "Where did they go with the NPCs?"
"They went to the Cloud Mine," Unsworn Sword hurriedly said.
"Cloud Mine … Could it be …" Ye Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this. He then connected the dots to the southwest camp and immediately came to a conclusion, "Quick, gather in the direction of the Cloud Mine."
"Why do we have to go there?" Unsworn Sword was startled. What kind of place was this?
"Listen to me!" Ye Xiaowu was full of confidence.
Unsworn Sword understood that this kid didn't want to reveal too much information about the mission. However, Unsworn Sword no longer doubted Ye Xiaowu's "knowledge". At the Cloud Suburb Lake, Ye Xiaowu had told them about Courtney's route, and that Qianli's group would definitely come here to find this NPC. Unsworn Sword hurriedly passed on Ye Xiaowu's message to Unchung Mutsu and Black Index Finger. Both of them had the same thought and didn't doubt it at all. The three guild leaders hurriedly led their troops to the Cloud Mine.
"Then why are the three of them going to the southwest camp?" Unsworn Sword asked.
"Nothing much. It's just the shortest route back to the city. They're going back to the city to complete a plot, and then they'll head to the Cloud Mine," Ye Xiaowu said.
"What are they doing?" Unsworn Sword asked.
Ye Xiaowu didn't reply.
"Will you die if you say a few more words?" Unsworn Sword was depressed.
"Sorry." Ye Xiaowu was very secretive this time, unlike when he helped the other party complete the mission in Fog City, because he felt that the situation was different this time. In Fog City, Qianli's drunkenness destroyed the other party's interests, so he felt that he could reveal some information to help them make up for it. But now, Ye Xiaowu felt that Qianli's drunkenness was unfair to the other guilds in Cloud City. If he revealed too much information and allowed any guild to benefit from the city war, then it would be unfair to the other guilds. After thinking about it, he felt that he should say as little as possible. The current situation was not bad. As long as the other party realized the danger of Qianli's drunkenness, they would take it seriously and listen to him.
"If it's the southwest camp, then he'll probably go through the west gate, right? I'll organize some people to ambush him, "Unsworn Sword said.
"That won't be of much help. His current mission has already been completed. You killing him will only save him a few steps. When he returns to the main city, he will receive the next order and still go to the Cloud Mine. I think you should save this time and quickly go to the Cloud Mine to make arrangements! "Ye Xiaowu suggested.
Unsworn Sword accepted this suggestion and urged his subordinates to move quickly. On the way, they would naturally meet up with Courtney. At first, everyone was very scared and prepared to run, but they quickly realized that Courtney was not hostile at all. She was just slowly walking while holding a disgusting corpse.
Unsworn Sword hurriedly asked Ye Xiaowu about the situation, but Ye Xiaowu didn't care, "According to the mission, don't worry about them. She won't attack you anymore. "
"Yutian, how is it? Is there anyone watching?" Gu Fei, who was walking on the road, asked Yutian Shenming about the situation.
"I'm following, I'm always here," Yutian Shenming said.
"Still the same people?"
"Yes."
"This tail is very annoying!" Gu Fei said.
"Why don't we put on another show," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Oh?" Gu Fei looked at her.
Xi Xiaotian walked to the leveling area on the side of the road, casually chatted with a player, then returned to the three of them, "Let's use teleportation!"
"Oh? What were you doing just now? "Gu Fei was confused.
"Just chatting for a bit, just acting for those guys to see," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Acting for what?" Gu Fei took out the scroll.
"How strange it is to suddenly fly while walking. Now that there's this process of coming into contact with people, if it was me, I would think: Oh, the contact bought a scroll! "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Too cunning!!" The three of them said in unison.
"Teleport!" Xi Xiaotian didn't think much of it.
The four of them teleported away, and the Scout quickly reported the scene to the guild master. Sure enough, after the guild master listened to their detailed description and combined it with Ye Xiaowu's deduction, he came to a conclusion: They sped up the process, contacted the seller to trade for a teleportation scroll, and teleported back to the city!
"We have to hurry!! Since they have this kind of thinking, they might even use the teleportation scroll to buy time, "Ye Xiaowu said.
Unsworn Sword was depressed, "Can't you tell us what they're doing in the Cloud Mine?"
"This … I really can't say, as long as you guys defend the Cloud Mine to the death and destroy them when they appear, then this line of communication will be broken," Ye Xiaowu said.
Unsworn Sword had no choice but to act according to plan. But he had already privately informed the guild's trusted aides: When they reached the Cloud Mine, they had to dig three feet into the ground and study the place thoroughly.
The four of them, who had used the scroll, appeared in the barren area again. From here to the Cloud Lake, there was naturally no disturbance at all.
"Are you sure they've already left?" Gu Fei asked Xi Xiaotian.
"I'm sure! With so many people, it would be too conspicuous if they left, how many people would see them, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then how do you know?"
"If you happen to have some friends who are active in that area, you would also know," Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then where did they go?" Gu Fei asked.
"How would I know? Listening to the direction of the description, it seems to be in the direction we left, "Xi Xiaotian said.
"It can't be for Courtney, right?"
"I hope not …" At this time, Xi Xiaotian couldn't be a hundred percent confident, she just hoped that her plan would work.
Of course, her plan worked quite well. When the four of them went back to the Cloud Lake, Hawkeye's Yutian Shenming found Courtney. She was sitting quietly on the hillside, Angus's body lying in her arms. The four of them hurried over.
"Look, Angus, your favorite scenery is about to appear!!"
When the four of them came to her side, they heard Courtney speaking softly to Angus.
The four of them looked in the direction she was talking to, only to see the sky full of light, reflecting the reeds by the lake in a golden color, but the lake water was orange. When the wind blew, the lake rippled, and the sound of the reeds swaying entered their ears. Courtney had a smile on her face, her hand caressing Angus's face, gently closing his eyes.
Slender Waist Dance's eyes were red, Xi Xiaotian looked elsewhere, and Yutian Shenming's expression … made Gu Fei want to kill him, this guy was obviously fantasizing about hugging a beautiful girl and sitting here watching the scenery.
In the reeds at the bottom of the hillside, there were some players lying in the middle, not daring to move, anxiously sending messages, "Guild Master, Qianli and the others are back!! They're with NPCs now!!!! "
"What?" The four guild masters were shocked! At this time, Upstream had already run to the Cloud Mine to meet up with the others. However, the four guild leaders were not so stupid, so they each left some people at the Cloud Lake. This was because this place had become a battlefield in this quest many times, so they felt that they should pay more attention to this area. So, they left some people to observe the situation here. Of course, waiting for an opportunity to contact this Courtney and see if there was any quest was also a very important mission …
Who would have thought that in the end, Qianli Drunk came, and watched as Qianli Drunk met up with NPCs again.
"What's going on?" The four guild masters all stared at Ye Xiaowu.
"You and Qianli Drunk are together?" Unsworn Sword said.
"No wonder you're so clear about the quest, exchanging information with Qianli Drunk, of course you know everything you should know," Against the Current said.
"A player with knowledge? You really know how to make our imagination run wild! "Unchung Mutsu suppressed his anger.
"Cut the crap!" Black Index Finger roared.
With the four guild masters attacking, Ye Xiaowu didn't even have a chance to explain …
