Chapter 30 The Most Pathetic Siege in History

Yuèxià Dúbái was naturally no match for Gu Fei. He could only rely on his two priest companions to heal him from time to time to survive. Learning from his previous battle with Gu Fei, the two priests stood far away from him to prevent Gu Fei from interrupting their skills with a single reach. The two knights each cast a Strength Blessing on themselves. At this time, knights were generally better than priests in terms of combat power, but unfortunately, they couldn't pose any threat to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei wasn't focused on Yuèxià Dúbái alone either. From time to time, he would give each of the other two a slash. It seemed like the three of them were surrounding Gu Fei, but it was they who were in a fluster. It could be called the most pathetic siege in history.

Only Yuèxià Dúbái knew what he was feeling. At this moment, what was bothering and startling him was Black Finger halfway up the mountain.

They had been climbing the mountain for a while, reaching about two-thirds of the way up in the morning. This warrior's movement speed was indeed appalling. Among the pursuers behind him, Sword Demon and Yùtiān Shénmíng, the two speed types, were getting closer and closer. But what was even more terrifying was that during Black Finger's climb up the mountain, the opponent's score was soaring again.

There were six opponents in total, five of whom were right behind him. The only one not under his nose was obviously the one earning the points.

Black Finger was still in a daze at first. Suddenly, the opponent's score jumped by six points. Black Finger stopped in his tracks. He increasingly felt that he seemed to be escaping one sea of suffering only to jump into a fiery pit. What kind of enlightenment was this? Wasn't it too bold?

"Dúbái, how many people are still up there?" Black Finger sent a message. The opponent's score had just increased by one again. Black Finger was now looking at the total number of their own people, but he already knew how many had been killed on the mountaintop. He just couldn't believe it.

"Five!" Although Yuèxià Dúbái was in the middle of a fight, and he was very willing to avoid Gu Fei's attacks, it was useless no matter how he dodged. So, he simply took the hit and replied to Black Finger.

"How could this be!" Black Finger was stunned. He had no doubt that someone capable of taking down fifteen people would also be able to take care of the remaining five by the time he reached the top of the mountain. And then, wouldn't the three of them be heading to their deaths for nothing?

"Ouch!" Just as he was thinking, one of the guys next to him cried out. He had suddenly stopped, and Yùtiān Shénmíng immediately hit him accurately with an arrow. "Old Black, what do we do?" This person was very anxious. He knew that there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind, but there had to be a decision, right? Now that they were neither advancing nor retreating, and arrows were still being shot at them, the three of them swayed left and right on the mountainside, dodging the arrows. At first glance, they seemed to be dancing happily.

Black Finger looked into the distance and saw that some of his team members were rushing towards them, but they certainly wouldn't be as fast as the guys chasing them from behind. Just as he was hesitating, Yuèxià Dúbái sent another message: "Old Black, where are you? Have any of our people gone over to your side?"

Yuèxià Dúbái realized that he was really confused. When they had been killed down to 12 people, he hadn't thought of calling for reinforcements. He had been hoping to exhaust the last quarter of Gu Fei's mana and then take him down, but it had ended up like this. He didn't even know that Black Finger was chasing them up the mountain.

"I'm, halfway up the mountain..." Black Finger replied.

"Ah? Hurry up and get up here! He's out of mana!" Yuèxià Dúbái shouted.

Hearing this, Black Finger was also energized. He immediately urged the two guys beside him, "Quick, quick, keep climbing the mountain."

"What's wrong?" one of them asked.

"That mage is out of mana," Black Finger shouted. If they went up and took care of this mage, then five plus three would be eight people in total. If they could hold off the attack of those five people until the reinforcements arrived, then even if all eight of them died, the others would be trapped on the mountain and wouldn't be able to escape. Then they would win this mercenary war! Black Finger calculated in his heart.

Gu Fei's efficiency was indeed very low without mana. Moreover, there were still two priests on the other side. After the two knights realized that they couldn't attack Gu Fei at all, and the Strength Blessing was useless, they simply switched to Life Blessing to restore health. One of these knights was even a Holy Knight who had changed jobs at level 40 and also had healing skills. In the end, they didn't even bother with the encirclement. They stood scattered, taking turns healing Yuèxià Dúbái, who was being attacked.

This situation lasted for a while, and the others realized that the current situation wasn't dangerous at all. Without mana, Gu Fei's attacks were really weak. If the Flame Baptism wasn't enchanted, it was so weak that it could be ignored. And the enchantment was sometimes there and sometimes not, so the others in charge of healing weren't very busy. Moreover, the three of them took turns, and if they managed their time well, they could even free up time to eat fruit to replenish mana. It was an endless cycle.

Only Yuèxià Dúbái was suffering as a punching bag, and he was being slashed and burned. It was quite miserable. As for Gu Fei, everything he was doing in this situation was useless! The others gradually relaxed. If Yuèxià Dúbái didn't still have a bitter face, they would have been happy to watch Gu Fei's futile performance.

How could Gu Fei not know this situation? When the three of them were surrounding him before, he slashed left and right, and the two priests were a little nervous, spamming healing spells. Gu Fei was hoping to quickly exhaust their mana and then kill them one by one. Who knew that the others weren't so stupid? After being highly nervous at the beginning, they immediately made a clear judgment. There was no point in continuing in the current situation.

Gu Fei suddenly stopped, and sheathed his sword. The others looked at him suspiciously. Gu Fei spread his hands: "Anyway, I can't kill you, so what's the point of fighting?"

"What trick do you have up your sleeve now!" Yuèxià Dúbái was very nervous. In his heart, Gu Fei was sinister and vicious.

"Didn't you see the situation just now? It's just a waste of time." As Gu Fei spoke, he sent a message to Han Jia Gongzi: "It's not going to work. The challenge has failed. I'm out of mana. They have five people left, three priests, and a Holy Knight who keeps healing. It's endless."

"Hang in there, we'll be up there soon," Han Jia Gongzi said.

"Is that so?" Gu Fei strolled to the edge of the mountain. Yuèxià Dúbái and the other five were basically like air to him in his eyes. To be honest, Gu Fei found it quite boring to fight these two non-combat classes.

"Oh, your people are almost here." Gu Fei stood at the edge of the mountain. The first thing he saw was Black Finger and his three men rushing in front. Not far behind them were Sword Demon and Yùtiān Shénmíng. Behind them were Han Jia Gongzi, Zhan Wu Shang, and Brother You. Further behind, the four sub-teams of the Black Hand Mercenary Group were rushing over from different directions.

Gu Fei was now standing carelessly at the edge of the mountain. This was a great temptation. One of the knights on the other side was stunned for a moment, then tiptoed towards him. When the other four saw this, they immediately understood his intention. Instantly, the top of the mountain became silent.

"Sword Demon, Yùtiān, you two run faster! Catch up to them!" Gu Fei waved his arms. The five people had no intention of paying attention to that side at this time. The knight heard Gu Fei shouting and yelling, afraid that he would suddenly turn around. He quickened his pace, finally reached behind Gu Fei, and was about to reach out when Gu Fei suddenly turned his head.

The knight's arms were already raised in front of him to push Gu Fei. Seeing that Gu Fei turned his head at this time, he didn't care about anything and pushed Gu Fei with all his might.

But how could Gu Fei's turn be accidental? He quickly turned sideways, reached out, grabbed the knight's arm, and pulled him forward. But then again, this knight was just trying to push Gu Fei down. He didn't have the kind of courageous and suicidal momentum. He just thrust his arms forward. Gu Fei couldn't possibly pull the other party down with that little force.

But Gu Fei really didn't want to miss such an opportunity. While exerting force with his hands, he also tripped him with his legs. Gu Fei used all the wrestling skills he could think of. It was no exaggeration to say that Gu Fei's wrestling was very sloppy. It wasn't dashing at all. It even had a bit of a scoundrel's look, but no matter what, this knight was finally taken down by him. That's right, "taken" was the most appropriate description. Gu Fei himself would be embarrassed to say he wrestled or threw him.

Even more tragic was that the two of them were seen wrestling by the crowd who were climbing the mountain and chasing them. Everyone was stunned, wondering what kind of fierce battle had broken out on the mountaintop, that even such a low-class scuffle had occurred.

But the other four people on the mountain were greatly inspired by this scuffle. Yuèxià Dúbái's mind moved, and he quickly shouted at the three of them: "He has no mana now, so he can't hurt us. Grab him and throw him down."

Gu Fei was also stunned when he heard this. Indeed, there was such a rogue way of fighting in this realistic online game. It often appeared on the side with more people. They would resist the opponent's attacks and then grab the opponent in close combat. When Gu Fei was fighting against the people of Yúnzhōng Mùdí outside the resurrection point that day, the other party had hesitated about whether to use this method.

After all, this kind of fighting method was regarded by players as a very unskilled and rogue method. Whoever really used it would be a garbage person in the spotlight. The more skilled the players in the later stages of the game, the stronger this idea became.

But as the saying goes, even a rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry! Yuèxià Dúbái and the others had been bullied by Gu Fei to this point, so who cared about manners or skills? They were going to capture Gu Fei alive aggressively.

To be honest, Gu Fei was really afraid of this. If he slashed with his sword, they wouldn't dodge. The four of them would just squeeze him in the middle. Gu Fei had no strength, and no matter how skillful he was, it would be difficult to use his skills in this situation!

He had to dodge!

So, on the top of the mountain, Gu Fei had a bitter face, running east and west while being surrounded by the four people who had transformed into mountain-top pushers.

"Fortunately, I have the advantage in speed." Gu Fei wiped his sweat. If that kid Piaoliu was out of mana at this time, he would definitely be done for! Gu Fei sighed in his heart.
