Chapter 15 Heaven's Wrath

More and more players gathered on the coastline, all staring wide-eyed at the approaching sailboat. If they knew the person steering the boat hadn't figured out how to stop, they'd regret their decision to spectate.

Reality is often cruel. Gu Fei didn't find anything resembling a brake in the cockpit. After asking the two women, he naturally didn't get any answers either. Helpless, Gu Fei could only steer as much as possible to avoid crashing directly into the players on the shore. Xi Xiaotian and Mang Mangde Mang Mang also took action, standing on the high observation deck and waving frantically at the players, signaling everyone to "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The crowd on the coast was in an uproar, and with the sound of the waves and the wind, no one could hear their shouts. But their wild gestures attracted a lot of attention. As everyone's attention turned to them, several sharp-eyed archers shouted, "Beauties!"

"Two of them!" someone added.

"What's going on?!" everyone asked, scrambling to find out.

Intense curiosity aroused an even stronger reaction from the crowd. Not only did no one move, but everyone crowded forward, some even wading into the water fearlessly. When they realized the sailboat was trying to turn, everyone became alarmed!

"The boat is running away!" Everyone pointed at the boat, chasing after it in the direction Gu Fei was trying to avoid.

This was a classic case of: Heaven may send calamities, but man can defy them; man brings calamity upon himself, and there is no escape.

Gu Fei couldn't turn any further. Turning any more would mean turning around and heading back out to sea. Seeing the players' enthusiasm, Gu Fei felt they would be even more disappointed if he turned around and left. So he gave up and left the cockpit, shouting to the two girls on the observation deck, "Hey, come down quick, get ready to run! We're going to be mobbed!"

Gu Fei had plenty of experience being mobbed, so he had a good sense of judgment. In the current situation, no matter how the boat ended up, they were sure to be surrounded.

"Coming!" Xi Xiaotian was the first to climb down.

"Hey!" Mang Mangde Mang Mang seemed to still be busy with something up there, not moving. Gu Fei urged her, "Hurry up!"

"Almost done!" Mang Mangde Mang Mang replied. Gu Fei saw her swing her arm forcefully, and then she jumped out of the observation deck.

With a "thump," she landed on the ground, gritting her teeth, and then cast a healing spell on herself. Gu Fei saw she was still holding something in her left hand. Looking closely, he was speechless. The girl had actually taken the telescope off the observation deck.

"Let's go!" Xi Xiaotian had also climbed down. The two of them ran towards the stern of the boat, but after a few steps, they saw Gu Fei standing still.

"Hurry up! Jump down and swim ashore! Do you want to be mobbed?" The two of them went back and pulled at Gu Fei.

"No! No!" Gu Fei was unusually nervous. "I can't swim."

"But I can teleport," Gu Fei added calmly. "So you two go on ahead!"

The two girls didn't hesitate and quickly ran to the stern. They could already feel the water rising, and the buoyancy was decreasing. The bottom of the boat was starting to bump against the ground. If they waited any longer to jump into the water, they would plunge into the mud.

Although Gu Fei didn't plan to jump into the water, he followed the two women to the stern. The two girls, side by side, flew directly into the water.

The water splashed up in a wave. Soon, their heads emerged from the surface, and they waved at Gu Fei.

At this time, the rocking of the boat was becoming more and more violent. A boat was indeed a boat; it was less stable on land than on water. Gu Fei grabbed the railing with one hand and waved to the two women with the other. He watched them swing their arms and swim away.

Gu Fei swayed back and forth, holding onto the railing on the deck. The players at a lower vantage point couldn't see him. The surrounding players were actively discussing what had just happened: two beautiful girls on the observation deck suddenly climbed down and jumped off. What did it all mean?

But among these players eagerly waiting for the sailboat to approach, some had already realized something was wrong. How did such a large boat stop? Gu Fei and the others hadn't thought about it, but some of the players knew.

How to stop? Anchor.

So, the sharp-eyed archers were the first to notice that the ship's anchor was still hanging neatly on the side, with no intention of being lowered. By this time, the ship was not far from the shore. Experienced sailor-level players had already judged that the ship was aground and was continuing to move forward due to inertia.

Then, after someone let out a strange cry, many people began to run away and dodge. But there were always a few slow-witted people who were still looking up at the observation deck, savoring the sight of the two beautiful girls. What was the meaning of their actions? What were they implying by one jumping and one climbing down?

As a result, the deeper they thought, the worse they were hit.

Those who were only knocked over by the boat were lucky. The most pitiful were those who were crushed under the boat. The soft sand provided the possibility for this to happen. At first, no one realized what had happened. Everyone was marveling at the stopped boat. Later, several people rushed out of the crowd, screaming and pounding on the bottom of the boat. When others asked, they learned that their friends had been crushed under the boat and were frantically sending text messages for help.

"Wow! You won't die like that?" Everyone exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's amazing!" A black-robed mage in the crowd echoed in amazement.

Several players around him looked at him with surprise. They had the impression that this person wasn't there a moment ago.

"Stop gawking, let's think of a way!" The black-robed mage said, squeezing out of the crowd, seemingly to "think of a way."

Compared to the poor wretches trapped under the boat, more players were concerned about the two beautiful girls on the observation deck. It wasn't that they were so obsessed with beauty. It was just that these two living beings were on this miraculously appearing sailboat. If this was a mission, then these two living beings were definitely important clues.

Some players were figuring out how to dig out the players crushed under the boat, while more were figuring out how to climb onto the several-meter-high deck.

After squeezing out of the crowd, the black-robed mage went to an inconspicuous corner and looked back. After waiting for a moment, he finally saw the two girls sneaking out from the other side of the boat.

The black-robed mage was naturally Gu Fei. No one knew there was another person on the boat, so he used teleportation to flash directly into the crowd, pretending to be a spectator. It might cause some surprise, but Gu Fei was sure that even if they were surprised, they wouldn't connect him to the boat.

After circling around, Gu Fei met up with the two girls, who were naturally wet and disheveled. Xi Xiaotian put on her cloak again, obscuring her face in shadow, and urged the two to hurry.

Linshui City was surrounded by a large body of water, but the town was not as unique as Lin Yin City, which was located on an island with a castle. After entering the city gate, the architectural style of the city was very ordinary.

"I'm going to wash off my PK!" Gu Fei said goodbye to the two women.

"I'm going to polish this telescope again." Mang Mangde Mang Mang had forcibly broken the telescope off from its connection to the observation deck. Now the break was jagged and uneven, and the feel was very poor.

"See you later." Xi Xiaotian didn't say what she was going to do. The three of them turned in different directions at the city gate. Gu Fei grabbed someone and asked for directions to the bounty mission office, Mang Mangde Mang Mang asked where the player's general store was, and Xi Xiaotian… had already run off with her head down.

The three of them were busy with their own affairs, but the trouble they had caused was not over.

Players on the shore were frantically busy. Some were digging holes, some were building ladders. After some tossing and turning, the sailboat stuck in the sand lost its balance and fell with a crash. This time, it was very sudden. The result was that the players who were originally under the boat were rescued, but more players on the side of the boat were crushed on the beach. This time, some even died. At the same time, everyone realized that the boat was empty.

A supernatural event? Everyone was shocked.

Everyone pondered, researched, and investigated…

This time, the sharp-eyed archers were the first to make a discovery again. They pointed to the water again and said, "Look, what's that?"

So all the archers began to exclaim, while the other players were so anxious they were scratching their heads.

Finally, after everyone could see clearly, a new round of discussions began.

How could there be several Linshui City guards swimming in the water? This was really worth investigating.

"What kind of mission is this? Such a big spectacle!" Everyone was excited.

In full view of everyone, the first guard walked ashore. Everyone restrained the urge to applaud, their eyes following the guard's every move.

The guard didn't do anything special, just changed from swimming to running.

He treated the surrounding players as if they were nothing, running forward as if no one was there. When a player tried to stop him and ask him a question, he simply stepped on him and walked past. This was the highest level of disregard.

The second, third, fourth… guards continued to land on the shore from this spot. If they had anything to do with the previous ship, they didn't even look at it once. Everyone did the same thing: land, run. If someone blocked their way, they simply stepped on them.

There were still guards swimming towards the shore. The first guard to land had already entered the main city.

What was the meaning of all this? Countless people had wracked their brains trying to figure it out.

Should they follow the ones in front to see what was going on, or should they continue to wait and see what else would come ashore? It was really too difficult to decide.

Gu Fei, completely unaware that he had caused such confusion to the players in this area, had successfully completed two waves of bounty missions. He had just accepted another mission with a PK value of 2. After completing this one, his PK value would be back below 30.
