Hu Die Lan
Chapter 347 Taking a Step Ahead
“Why do we have to set off right now?” the gathered Cloud players couldn't help but ask.
“Because opportunity is fleeting,” Unsworn Blade said, his expression as serious as a big bad wolf.
“What about the many brothers who haven't arrived yet?” someone asked.
“Those who log on tomorrow can catch up to the next station on their own,” Unsworn Blade announced.
“Where's the next station?” someone asked.
Unsworn Blade looked around, beckoned the players who asked the questions closer, and said mysteriously, huddling together, "Private message."
A chorus of curses…
“What about Qianli?” Sword Demon and the others were just discussing this issue internally.
“Him? Can he even leave LinYin City? Being with him will only drag everyone down,” Young Master Han's words were ruthless.
“Are we just going to ditch him like that?” Yu Tian Shen Ming felt it was unbearable.
“Or you can stay and help him,” Young Master Han said.
“How can I help?” Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.
Young Master Han spread his hands, and Yu Tian Shen Ming was lost in thought.
Young Master Han finally said, “Fine, it’s too painful for me to maintain your self-esteem. I'll be blunt, you trash are just burdens to him. Help him? Not being around him to drag him down is helping him."
“Damn it, you're the trash! Let's go," Yu Tian Shen Ming said angrily, taking the first step.
“Yu Tian, you're going the wrong way,” Sword Demon said expressionlessly.
So Yu Tian Shen Ming turned around 180 degrees expressionlessly and continued walking.
“Let’s go, let’s go!” The main force finally started to move, but the looseness was only external. The allocation of various classes and their positions in the team were unconsciously arranged, providing enough time for attacks from any direction. The archers even shot arrows randomly in all directions from time to time. Players were often accidentally hit, but they swallowed the curses that came to their lips. With such a large group of people, only an idiot would go up and make trouble with them.
They walked all the way to the edge of LinYin City without seeing any movement from Water Deep and his group. Next, they would enter the forest. Everyone's expressions were solemn as they stared at each other. After exchanging words of farewell, they buried their heads and entered.
They advanced more cautiously. Sakura Tsukizi led people to scout for traps at the front, with warriors and priests accompanying them to protect them.
Mages would cast area spells in all directions whenever they had the chance, and archers constantly shot arrows at the trees diagonally above, although they often hit their own people when they fell down, no one complained. Knights constantly cast spiritual blessings on everyone, raising everyone's magic defense to a higher level. Behind them were warriors, shaking and hitting every tree they passed. As for the thieves, they remained outside the team, responsible for reconnaissance and warning, each responsible for a fixed direction. If anyone sent back information or sacrificed themselves, Unsworn Blade would immediately know which direction the enemy was in.
Learn from a fall, grow from a pit. The Cloud players had found ways to prevent all the tricks that Water Deep and his group used in the forest. This time, there shouldn't be any more problems, right?
Indeed!
Water Deep's brothers were still there, but many had gone offline, and their numbers had also sharply decreased.
Many of the mages had also gone to jail, so there was still an impact.
In addition, Water Deep was drunk and unconscious, and the others couldn't come to a harmonious and unified method for a long time, so they went their own way. In the end, they were accurately and effectively repelled by the Cloud players in the forest. A surveillance team that had been following them all along never found a suitable opportunity to strike and eventually watched the other side leave the forest.
Mixed feelings!
The moment the last of the Cloud City players stepped out of the forest, everyone's feelings could only be described as mixed. They had finally escaped this nightmare-like forest that had swallowed many of them.
"Well done," Unsworn Blade said to Young Master Han, heavily patting him on the shoulder.
"Hehe, this time the money wasn't spent in vain, right?" Young Master Han said indifferently.
"Hahaha, it's too polite to say that, what money are you talking about." Unsworn Blade strode away. Speaking of which, he really didn't have any complaints about the fee paid to the Young Master Elite Team this time. LinYin City was the most intense conflict with the most severe losses, and everyone had only just passed halfway, but the result was that the other half ended so easily and safely, how could he not be happy?
He was willing to spend this money. He may have had opinions, suspicions, and complaints about the Young Master Elite Team before, but the facts proved that this team was indeed a great help in solving problems. It was really wise to hire this team for this mission. Unsworn Blade even expressed his concern for Gu Fei, who had not left with them due to being offline.
"Money, did we get money this time too? Where is it?" Yu Tian Shen Ming, Zhan Wu Shang and the others stared at Young Master Han with wide eyes after Unsworn Blade left.
"It's already been spent," Young Master Han said.
"How was it spent?" The two's eyes widened even more.
"I gave it to Water Deep," Young Master Han said.
The two's eyes narrowed a little, but they were still slightly wider than normal: "Gave it all? You should have left us some, we were busy too!"
"What were you busy with?" Young Master Han said impatiently, "In the end, Water Deep was still settled by Ren Xi Yao Wu. Did you see her come and ask me for money? Can you two old and young masters learn from a girl's awareness?"
"Damn, is she a normal girl? She is the richest player in the game!!!" The two pointed their middle fingers at Young Master Han. It was too cheap of Young Master Han to ask the two of them to learn the game's richest player's awareness of gold coins.
"Alright, alright!" Unsworn Blade was happy enough and began to remind the players to celebrate with moderation: "It's already late, and the distance to the next main city should be three hours away if nothing goes wrong. Let's hurry up and get on the road!"
"Oh oh oh!!" The morale of the players was definitely high at this time.
"The LinYin City guys may not let go so easily. Sword Demon, you take some thieves, sneak behind the team, and secretly pay attention! If there are no problems after walking a distance, then you can catch up. What do you think?" Unsworn Blade now felt that the Young Master Elite Team was unprecedentedly reliable, and entrusted this important task to Sword Demon in the team.
"Very good!" Sword Demon nodded.
So Unsworn Blade selected some thieves from each team and guild and let Sword Demon lead the team to command them. Currently, there was a shortage of manpower, and many mercenary groups had withdrawn. Unsworn Blade could only let the people in the guild take the risk.
While the others were in front, Sword Demon led some thieves to cover the rear, and the Cloud players continued to advance towards the next station.
Those players who were not present at this time successively received messages from their own side, informing everyone that they had left LinYin City overnight to go to the next station, and asked them to hurry up and get on the road after seeing the message.
Most of the players saw the message early, but there were also those like Gu Fei, who did not log on until after dinner the next day before learning of this news.
The message to him was naturally very different. Gu Fei's journey was not that simple. If he didn't solve the problem of his 30+ PK value, he would be a disaster wherever he went. The wanted mission was released throughout the entire game, and Gu Fei would be chased and killed wherever he ran in the main city range. Gu Fei's current PK value was 54. At this time, countless voices of worship for this God of Slaying had appeared in the game, inquiring about the origins of this God.
Others were still like this, so how could Gu Fei not pay attention?
Before logging on today, he did a lot of homework for the first time. He lingered in the forum area of LinYin City, extensively learning about the relevant information here. No one wanted to drop five levels, and no one wanted to be in jail forever. Gu Fei only had one way out, which was what he had done countless times: wanted missions.
He was determined to wash away his PK value.
This was easy for him in normal times, but it was full of difficulty at this time.
First, of course, the powerful guards would start arresting him as soon as he appeared. Don't question how they found you. Players can use Wind Chasing Emblem to refresh coordinates every minute. How can you deal with the shameless system that has a coordinate tracker that refreshes every second?
Second, Gu Fei was not familiar with LinYin City, very unfamiliar. In Cloud City, he was so skilled that he could know the terrain and the number of people nearby by looking at the coordinates. This was accumulated from countless times of chasing and killing people in the streets, but in LinYin City, he had to pay attention to the coordinates under his feet and the coordinates of the intersection ahead while running, and with pursuers behind him, this was too unfavorable.
The first difficulty was that Gu Fei had to wash away the PK value to solve it, and the second difficulty was what Gu Fei had prepared for all day today.
He spent almost half a day familiarizing himself with the LinYin maps hand-drawn by the players in the forum, familiarizing himself with the coordinates of each location, and calculating in his mind what could be used in the locations of those coordinates. In addition, he also wanted to understand what rules loopholes could be used in the 30+ system wanted missions, or whether there were any defects in these guards. Unfortunately, there was absolutely no information in this regard.
Gu Fei was the first God to have a PK value of over 30. He had no predecessors to learn from. He was the first pioneer to eat crabs and then pass on experience to those who came later.
Gu Fei was quite annoyed. If he logged on, even if Hong Chen Yi Xiao was online, he probably wouldn't have time to get some information.
Map, map, terrain, terrain, location, location. All he could do was memorize these things and make his mission in LinYin City more efficient.
The Super Martial Arts Genius was not a false reputation. With his precise mastery of various skills, we should not have any doubts about Gu Fei's memory. After repeated memorization and self-examination for half a day, Gu Fei was confident that there would be no mistakes, so he confidently connected to the game.
