"Full speed ahead. Head to the Cloud Suburb Lake. We must stop Qianli's Drunken quest at all costs!!!" Their guild leaders' messages echoed in the channel of the four major guilds. Only the higher-ups knew about being tricked by Ye Xiaowu. The four guild leaders felt embarrassed, so they decided not to explain. The players of the four major guilds were digging in the Cloud Mine when they heard that they had to return to the Cloud Suburb Lake to stop Qianli's Drunken quest. They were confused. They vaguely remembered that their guild leader had said that they would stop Qianli's Drunken quest at all costs.
"What are they doing?" It was inevitable that some people would ask.
"We'll talk after we're done. Hurry up!" This was the response they received.
The players of the four major guilds poured out of the Cloud Mine and rushed toward the Cloud Suburb Lake. In the direction of the Cloud Suburb Lake, the moment Angus closed his eyes, the sun had gradually set, and the beautiful scenery could no longer be seen. Courtney hugged Angus tightly in her arms again, but after a moment, as if she had made up her mind about something, she put Angus aside, turned around, and started to dig a hole.
"Help," Gu Fei called out to the three of them.
The four of them and one NPC worked together and quickly dug a big hole. Courtney jumped into the hole with Angus in her arms and put him down gently.
"Don't tell me you want to bury yourself as well?" Imperial Sky Divine Ming said softly.
"No," Gu Fei said. "It's a little crowded with two people."
The two girls glared at the two of them. Courtney didn't linger in the hole with Angus this time. She jumped out after she put him down. She stared at the hole and finally sprinkled a handful of soil.
"Huh? Should we do something? "Yutian Shenming asked.
"Why are you asking me!" Gu Fei said and turned to Courtney. "Do you need help?"
Courtney shook her head. Gu Fei shrugged helplessly. The four of them didn't move and watched as Angus's body was slowly covered by the soil.
"None of the four great guilds are here. Did they really get tricked?" Gu Fei whispered to Xi Xiaotian.
"Yes, they did, but I think they'll be back soon. You don't think they've all left, do you?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"Our place is too conspicuous." Gu Fei looked left and right. This was the best place to enjoy the most beautiful scenery of Yun Jiao Lake. At the same time, it could also be enjoyed from any position in Yun Jiao Lake, as long as one could see it.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The NPC picked it." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Then they might be back soon. Can this woman hurry up?" Gu Fei was anxious.
"There's movement in the reeds," Yutian Shenming suddenly said.
"You saw it?" Gu Fei was delighted.
"Mm!" Yutian Shenming nodded.
"Coordinates!" Gu Fei said.
"…" Yutian Shenming glared at him.
"Approximate location." Gu Fei said.
Yutian Shenming suddenly had an idea and shot an arrow in that direction. Gu Fei raised his sword and was about to charge forward when Xi Xiaotian said, "Of course there'll be people in the reeds. How do you know they're from the four great guilds?"
Gu Fei heard this and was stunned. Ambushing wasn't something the four great guilds could do. Couples loved to ambush in the reeds of Yun Jiao Lake. Maybe what Yutian Shenming saw was the actions of a couple?
"I just saw someone moving." Yutian Shenming honestly said, "If it's a normal player, there's no need to be so sneaky, right?" From time to time, people would get up from the reeds, but they would hold hands and leave. They wouldn't crawl with their bodies exposed.
"There's no problem with what you saw. The problem is that we can't be sure when we get there." Xi Xiaotian said.
"It's good to scare them." Gu Fei still raised his sword and went forward.
"You're bored out of your mind when you're not killing people, right?" Xi Xiaotian said.
"It'll take a while for her to be buried!" Gu Fei said.
"I think we can help now." Xi Xiaotian looked back at Courtney and saw that after the soil covered Angus completely, she sped up her movements. She wasn't as hesitant as before.
"Let's try." Gu Fei walked forward and sprinkled some soil.
Courtney didn't say anything and the four of them quickly got to work. Not long after, the soil was covered, and a low mound was piled up on the ground. Just as Imperial God Ming was muttering to himself about whether or not he needed a tombstone, Courtney gently placed the necklace on the mound, took a few steps back, and gazed at it.
The four of them didn't dare disturb her and could only wait.
They waited until Courtney said to them, "Thank you."
Gu Fei let out a long breath. He guessed that Courtney and Angus's love story had come to an end. What came next should be a derivative of the story, which was what he needed to continue the mission!
"You're welcome." Gu Fei had actually thought about how to continue the mission. He had already found the entry point. "Why did Angus become like this? What's wrong with the water storage and drainage project at the bottom of Yunjiao Lake? Why do you think he's dead? "
"I don't know." Courtney shook her head. This answer was like thunder to the four of them.
"But …" Courtney suddenly continued.
"I love 'but'!" At this moment, Yutian Shenming was so touched that tears streamed down his face.
"Shut up." Gu Fei stopped him from making any noise and listened to Courtney.
"My teacher told me about Angus's death. He said there was an accident during the water storage and drainage project, and Angus died at the bottom of the lake. So I came here to become a caretaker. I hope I can stay with him forever. It's good now. I know Angus will always be there. "Courtney pointed at the grave. After so many years, she had long felt disheartened. She only had a glimmer of hope when she heard Gu Fei say, "Angus is not dead." Although she did not see Angus in the end, compared to the years when she only knew that Angus was at the bottom of the lake, which was unreachable, Courtney actually looked a little satisfied to be able to hold Angus's body in her arms and stay so close to him.
"But why did Angus become like this? If it wasn't like this, he shouldn't have died! Don't you want to find out the real cause of Angus's death? "Gu Fei said. It was obvious that Angus's body had been attacked to death, but Courtney had never asked how he died or who killed him from the moment she found his body. It seemed like she didn't plan to ask either.
"What's the use of knowing that? All I want is to be with Angus. Although he's dead now, I will always be with him, "Courtney said.
"I lost …" Gu Fei had no choice but to tell the truth. "Alright, actually we need to find out the cause of Angus's death. Do you have any clues that you can provide?"
Courtney shook her head.
Xi Xiaotian interrupted, "You might not be able to ask like this. If she thinks like this, there might be some clues that happened to her, but she won't use these kinds of things as clues to remember. "
Gu Fei thought for a moment. "That cabin by the lake, is it yours?"
"No, that's Teacher Gilkino's," Courtney said.
"Oh? When did he start living here? Tell me about him, "Gu Fei hurriedly said.
"After he told me about Angus's death, I left the teacher and moved to Yunjiao Lake to be a forest caretaker. He often came to Yunjiao Lake to take a walk and visit me. Later, he said he liked the scenery and tranquility here, so he built a cabin. He often came here to do some research, and sometimes he would ask me for help, "Courtney said.
"What kind of research?" Gu Fei asked.
"The teacher said that the water storage and discharge project of Yunjiao Lake was not perfect, and he needed further research to optimize it."
"Right, in your chat with Angus, you mentioned that you were a little uneasy about the project. What was it?" Gu Fei asked.
"I once accidentally saw the teacher arguing with someone about the project. I've never seen the teacher so angry. I only heard him say that the project was absolutely impossible, but the project still continued after that, so I thought it was a little strange."
"Later, Angus said that he wanted to use magic to solve some problems in the project. Do you know what it was?"
"I don't know." Courtney shook her head.
Gu Fei looked at the other three. "Did any of you think of any problems?"
"You've been here for so long, have you tried to find Angus's body from the project at the bottom of the lake?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
Courtney nodded. "The teacher told me not to try, but I still did it secretly. But the entrance to the project seemed to be sealed by magic, and I couldn't get in. "
"How did you dive into the water?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"There were some special magic tools for diving during the project, and Angus secretly gave some to me," Courtney said.
"Can you lend it to us?" Xi Xiaotian asked.
"Of course." Courtney nodded. "It's in my residence in the forest north of the lake. You can go get it yourself!"
"See!" Xi Xiaotian looked at Gu Fei with disdain. "If you don't pay attention to what she wants, you won't think of what she wants to do, and you won't be able to dig out the clues in her mind."
"Diving tools? Are we going to rely on these things to see what's going on in the tunnel at the bottom of the lake? "Gu Fei asked.
"Of course. As for the questions you asked, we'll analyze them as we go! " After Xi Xiaotian said this, the four of them left together. Slim Waist Dance looked back and saw Courtney sitting quietly next to Angus's grave.
"Enemy sightings ahead!" Yutian Shenming suddenly pointed at the hillside, and the four of them looked up. The people from the four major guilds had finally arrived. Of course, not all of them. Even though their opponent was A Thousand Miles Drunk, the four guild leaders still mustered their courage to form a fast-moving vanguard team when they thought about how the mission would fail if the enemy completed it. After sprinting all the way, they finally arrived at Yunjiao Lake first.
Gu Fei was eager to fight with his sword, but Xi Xiaotian stopped him. "Don't fight if you don't have to! If anything happens to you, wouldn't it be a pity if you fail the mission? "
Gu Fei thought about it and agreed, so for the sake of the bigger picture, the four of them chose to run. In the entire Cloud City, there wasn't a better place to hide than the bank of Yunjiao Lake. The four of them entered the reeds together, and as soon as they bent down, they couldn't see anything outside.
"Head north." Gu Fei said.
"If we swim directly from here, it's the north side." Slim Waist Dance had experience.
"I don't mind." Xi Xiaotian said.
Yutian Shenming imagined the scene of the two beauties soaking wet and revealing their curves. His nose was about to bleed, and he desperately nodded his head.
"I'll cover you guys." Gu Fei said.
"Why are you so uncooperative!" Xi Xiaotian criticized.
"I don't know how to swim." Gu Fei said.
The three of them froze.
"What? Is it strange that you don't know how to swim? "Gu Fei wasn't happy.
"That's it! You three swim over, and I'll block here. Just now, it was Cheat Zitian and Courtney, so I think you can continue with the plot. You guys go over and take the items. "Gu Fei said.
"Hmph? You still want to stay here and kill people, don't you? "Xi Xiaotian said.
"The terrain is pretty good." Gu Fei said.
"Then we're going." Xi Xiaotian said.
"Hurry." Gu Fei pushed the three of them behind him, and suddenly jumped out of the reeds. He threw out an AoE spell and yelled, "I'm going to kill people. If it's fine, dodge!!!"
This spell and yell shocked countless players. Everyone craned their necks to look left and right. Yutian Shenming looked back and couldn't help but sigh. "A one to one ratio of male to female. This is such a rare scene in the game!"
The shocked players didn't know what was going on. They were very close to Gu Fei and noticed that he was the one making a ruckus. They hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Hurry, they're going to PK. Look." Gu Fei pointed at the four guilds' advance troops running down the hill.
"Why are they going to PK again!" The players at Cloud Suburb Lakeside had been trained many times, so they weren't surprised by this scene. They all cooperated and left the scene. Everyone ran all over the place. Xi Xiaotian looked back and said, "There's no need to swim. They'll just run away in the chaos."
Although they were swimming in a straight line, swimming wasn't as fast as usual. They walked around the lakeside. Although it was far away, it was faster.
"Hey, take this chance to leave!" Slender Waist Dance yelled at Gu Fei.
"You guys go. I'll cover you." Gu Fei yelled.
"He wants to stay here and PK. Fly away." Xi Xiaotian cursed.
"If you die, the mission will fail!" Slender Waist Dance yelled.
"Don't worry. I won't die even if you die!" Gu Fei patted his chest confidently. Previously, he had demonstrated the power of the Earth Hall Kung Fu. He realized that Cloud Suburb Lakeside was a good place for him to fight against multiple enemies. He was only afraid of the enemy's Mages. However, the enemy's Mages hadn't arrived yet.
The three of them retreated along with the couple that had scattered. Many people noticed that Yutian Shenming had two pretty girls with him and looked at him with envy. Yutian Shenming immediately noticed their gazes and understood their thoughts. He was proud of himself and didn't want to expose them.
The advance troops arrived like a gust of wind. Gu Fei stood in the reeds, afraid that the enemy wouldn't know where he was. Seeing that they were close, he lowered his body and disappeared into the grass.
However, the four guilds were experienced and didn't dare to be rash. Qianli could hide and run when he was drunk, but he had to make such a big commotion. It was very suspicious. They immediately reported the situation to the guild leader and asked for instructions.
"Another diversion?" The fourth guild leader was very alert after falling into the trap. "Where are the others with him?"
"I don't know."
"Damn, why didn't you keep a closer eye on them?"
"I knew it was going to be a PK, so all the lovers ran out. It was a mess. I couldn't keep an eye on them!" The members of the advance party were innocent.
"In such a situation, why didn't Qianli take advantage of the chaos and leave?" The fourth guild leader had a headache. They couldn't guess Gu Fei's intentions.
"Is it a bluff, or does he have a reason to stay?"
There were also core players from various guilds in the advance party, such as Four Seas' Reflection of Time, and Drinking and Singing Fan Ziling. At this time, they were all gathered together, discussing the intentions behind A Thousand Miles Drunk's move. Hundreds of Agility-class players stopped outside the reeds and stared at the reeds. They didn't dare to make any rash moves.
The three people mixed in with the lovers had already run far away. Looking back, the other party didn't dare to move forward and foolishly stopped outside the reeds.
"What are those idiots doing?" Yutian Shenming was puzzled.
"They're confused. I think they don't know what our intentions are." Xi Xiaotian laughed.
"Ignore them. Let's go get the quest item. Diving magic equipment. I wonder what it is?" Slender Waist Dance said.
"Isn't the biggest problem with diving difficult to breathe? It's probably something that makes breathing easier after using it! "Xi Xiaotian said.
"That's pretty fun." Slender Waist Dance said.
"Let's go." The three ignored Gu Fei and ran.
Gu Fei crouched in the reeds in loneliness. He waited and waited, but no one came. The four major guilds had already suffered from Gu Fei's unpredictability in the reeds. They wouldn't play with him this time. They had decided to wait for the Mages to come and bombard the area. As for the advance party, they would shoot from afar if they had nothing to do.
Gu Fei had no choice but to stand out. "Why don't you come in?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
What answered him were countless arrows.
Gu Fei hurriedly crouched and teleported to another place. Looking back, he saw another wave of arrows biting at where he had just been like locusts.
No one was willing to enter the reeds. Gu Fei's game couldn't continue. He helplessly took out a teleportation scroll.
White light flashed. An idiot in the advance party cheered. "Qianli got drunk and was killed!"
"What the hell? Did someone attack that way? "Someone immediately cursed back.
"What's going on?" The four guild leaders were all tensed up!
"He escaped with a teleportation scroll," someone reported.
"We're in trouble!!!" The four guild leaders were dumbfounded. Now that they had completely lost track of the other party, who knew where their mission was headed?
"It's all that bastard's fault!!!" Sword without an oath was, of course, talking about Ye Xiaowu.
"Yes! That bastard! "The other three echoed.
Ye Xiaowu crouched alone in the 17th zone.
He had been killed. Such an unarmed little Mu had fooled the four guild leaders. How could the four let him go so easily? Before sending him back, they had already informed the guilds. So the moment Ye Xiaowu's resurrection point appeared, he became the target of a frenzy of attacks.
Twenty-five times happened in the blink of an eye. Ye Xiaowu wanted to send a message to explain, but the guild leaders had already deleted him.
Ye Xiaowu knew that Qianli got drunk was the next step of their mission, but he didn't have the strength to stop it.
The four major guilds had the strength to sabotage the mission, but they didn't know what Qianli got drunk's next step would be.
That was how tragedies were made.
