Chapter 47 A Desperate Gamble

"Jian Nan You, get your ass out here!" Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shen Ming continued to shout as they strode through the mist. They still hadn't revealed themselves, just creating a sound disturbance. Jian Gui provided coordinate guidance, stealthily staying close to Jian Nan You's seven-member group.

Jian Nan You hadn't forgotten this, and immediately told Huo Ran Yi to carpet-bomb the surrounding area.

By this time, Jian Nan You's group's goal was different from the beginning, so their response to Jian Gui was also different. Before, they hoped to identify his location and directly kill him, but now they only sought to force him back, so he wouldn't keep watching them.

However, Jian Gui was more audacious than they imagined. Seeing the opponent's spells coming in layers, he would have to retreat in advance to maintain stealth. So, he simply canceled his stealth state and appeared magnificently in front of the seven.

Jiao Shui and Huo Ran Yi immediately locked onto the target and launched an attack, but Jian Gui easily dodged it.

In terms of movement speed, he was stronger than Gu Fei. In terms of judging the opponent's moves, he also possessed a judgment ability that Gu Fei didn't have in online games. For example, when Huo Ran Yi raised his hand, where the center of the spell was, how large the spell's range was, and when to start running to avoid it – mages like Yu Tian Shen Ming or Piao Liu could see this at a glance, and Jian Gui could too.

Zhan Wushang was said to be the number one warrior in online games, and Yu Tian Shen Ming was said to be the number one mage, but they were only prominent because Jian Gui didn't choose those two classes. Jian Gui's strength in the online gaming world had already transcended class boundaries; he was number one no matter what he played. Even now that he was a thief, he wouldn't neglect research into other classes, something Gu Fei never did. That guy probably didn't even fully understand the mage class he played.

Facing such an opponent, Jiao Shui and Huo Ran Yi couldn't easily hit him. Compared to Gu Fei, he just wasn't as aggressive in directly shooting down the opponent's attacks, but he still left the two helpless.

Moreover, Jian Gui acted like a Boss, occasionally retreating into the mist to rest, but soon he would emerge again, continuing to hover around the seven.

The seven were frustrated by such blatant surveillance.

"Now the Boss's aggro should all be on that Qian Li Yi Zui; do we still need to maintain this formation?" Hei Shui felt miserable seeing the assassin acting so freely. After being pushed into the wall of fire by Gu Fei and dying, he had dropped back to level 39, no longer an assassin, but back to his humble thief life.

The difference between level 38 and 39, or level 40 and 42, even if there was a two-level gap, didn't have an absolute impact on strength. But level 39 and 40 were an absolute watershed. Because after level 40, you could change classes, which would have class modifications. There would be characteristic enhancements for certain attributes of the new class, and the data gained from stat points would also be stronger. So, unless a level 40 guy was hopelessly hopeless, it was really impossible to lose to a level 39 guy.

Falling back from level 40 to 39 was like driving a car before and now having to ride a bicycle. The difference was too great.

"Calm down!" Jian Nan You understood Hei Shui's feelings, but what they needed most now was not impulse: "Be careful he doesn't lure you into a trap."

Jian Nan You was really overthinking things. Jian Gui was just playing around. How could the Young Master elite team set up traps at this time? The strongest killer was playing with the Boss. Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wushang had turned into wandering, boastful singers. What traps could Han Jia Gong Zi and You Ge, a priest and a knight, set up?

But him developing this mentality was the real trap. The layers of fog had clouded his heart, and Jian Nan You began to become suspicious. And he kept using his suspicion to influence those around him.

Actually, they didn't need to be calm at this time; what they needed was some impulse, some passion. Audaciously find a direction and stride out, ignoring the screaming harassment and Jian Gui's advancing and retreating following. The Young Master elite team didn't have any big moves to do anything to them.

But now, Han Jia Gong Zi had grasped their psychology, using the foggy weather to torment these guys until they were out of their minds. They felt that behind the fog was an army of thousands, just waiting for them to walk into the tiger's mouth.

Under such sustained tension, the seven began to become increasingly restless. Due to the different psychological qualities of each person, the symptoms manifested with varying degrees of severity. Jian Nan You could still grit his teeth and continue to calmly think of countermeasures, but Hei Shui finally completely collapsed. Seeing that Jiao Shui and Huo Ran Yi's attacks had once again failed, he suddenly shouted, "I'll fight you!" and dashed out of the team towards Jian Gui.

"Hei Shui!!" Jian Nan You shouted loudly to stop him. The two next to him hadn't anticipated this guy's sudden reaction either, and couldn't stop him in time. Hei Shui rushed straight towards Jian Gui, ignoring everything.

They needed impulse, they needed passion, but they didn't need a single person's solo passion. The consequences of that were not as good as the seven continuing to suspiciously persevere.

Seeing Hei Shui rushing towards him, Jian Gui calmly retreated. Hei Shui completely ignored the shouts of his companions behind him and followed closely, using Swift Travel to create wind under his feet. In the blink of an eye, he chased Jian Gui and disappeared into the fog.

"Damn it!!" Jian Nan You cursed, and the six hurriedly moved in that direction. Hei Shui's loud shouts came from the fog, but unlike Gu Fei and the Fog Hidden Assassin, there were no sounds of weapons clashing. As the six rushed closer, Hei Shui's shouts suddenly stopped. Only one figure remained in the fog. As Jian Nan You and the others approached, Jian Gui stood there nonchalantly and said expressionlessly, "He's level 38."

A thief above level 40 could not be an assassin's opponent after class change, not to mention that Hei Shui was facing the number one expert in the online game world. He had also lost his composure and only relied on passion. If passion worked, it would be called a passionate manga. Unfortunately, this was an online game, so Hei Shui was defeated without any suspense. It only took Jian Gui five seconds to finish him.

"Still too slow!" Jian Gui thought, "If it were Qian Li, it would only take one second to finish him." This was the mark of an expert, never complacent, always pursuing a higher realm, although Jian Gui's pursuit was a bit too high.

"Don't let that kid go!!!" Huo Ran Yi was also angry. He felt guilty about Hei Shui's death earlier. Although it wasn't his responsibility this time, it also affected his mood. There was a bit of madness in his shout as he raised his staff.

Silence.

Everyone was waiting for Huo Ran Yi's incantation, but the guy raised his staff but didn't utter a word for a long time. It was quiet all around.

Huo Ran Yi discovered in horror that he couldn't remember what the incantation should be!

Scientific studies have shown that tense emotions often impair a person's memory. Common examples include being unable to remember the countless exercises reviewed during an exam due to tension, not being able to clearly introduce one's situation during an interview due to tension, and exaggeratedly, even one's own name may not be remembered for a while. Huo Ran Yi had now forgotten the incantation he had chanted countless times. The pressure these people were under at this time was too great. Not wanting to die was only a small part of it; a large part was being trapped here, the frustration brought about by helplessness, and so on. With so many negative emotions, how could anyone be completely unaffected?

Hei Shui had already lost his balance first, and Huo Ran Yi seemed to be launching an attack but suddenly went mute, which Jian Nan You thought was also bad, so he quickly reminded the others, "Everyone, don't panic!"

"Then what should we do?" Jian Nan You hadn't come up with a clear idea for a long time, which was one of the reasons why everyone was becoming more and more uneasy.

"Fight! Charge!!!" Jian Nan You finally gritted his teeth and said. It couldn't be like this at this time. Everyone's emotions were completely out of control. Psychology was very important. Looking at various sports events, athletes were generally divided into three levels: body, psychology, and technique. If one of them failed, it would be difficult to achieve great things.

At this time, instead of letting everyone mess around, it was better to just charge. Frankly speaking, Jian Nan You was actually too out of balance. When he told everyone to charge, he wasn't thinking about fighting hard, but about throwing caution to the wind.

"They're going to charge!!!" Jian Gui saw it clearly and immediately retreated to avoid them. No matter how skilled he was, he knew that he hadn't reached Gu Fei's level of defying the heavens, capable of fighting six or seven top experts alone.

"Earlier than expected!" Han Jia Gong Zi said. He had hoped that the opponent would lose control one by one, and then be defeated one by one, but after one was killed, they collectively lost control and came in droves.

In a head-on confrontation, it was now six against six. The newbie with soft hands wouldn't help, and even if he did, it would be negligible. Both sides were top experts, and the Young Master elite team wasn't sure of complete victory in a head-on confrontation; otherwise, they would have rushed up long ago. Why would they make people mentally collapse?

This change was a bit sudden, and Han Jia Gong Zi was caught a bit off guard. Zhan Wushang and Yu Tian Shen Ming were still singing on the periphery as he had instructed! In this hasty situation, Zhan Wushang's speed certainly wouldn't be enough to intercept them. As for Yu Tian Shen Ming... with Zhan Wushang, he had Zhan Wushang's speed. Without Zhan Wushang, his speed in the current environment was negative.

As a result, it was three against six, and only Jian Gui was a high output, making the situation quite unfavorable.

"Do your best to stall! You two, hurry over here." Han Jia Gong Zi issued instructions to both sides in one sentence. The tactics, strategies, and deceptions that could be used had come to an end at this time. What followed was a close-quarters battle, and it could only be a battle of courage between the two sides.

Han Jia Gong Zi faintly felt that something was wrong. A battle of courage? The opponent was clearly at the top.

Jian Nan You and his party had changed their formation. He held his shield in the center, at the very front, with Jiao Shui and Huo Ran Yi on the left and right, and the two priests and one knight pressing at the rear, striding towards Jian Gui.

You Ge had buffed Jian Gui, and Han Jia Gong Zi looked at the opponent's momentum and sighed, "Let them go if it doesn't work. There's no rush at this time."

Jian Gui didn't speak, just tightened his grip on his dagger.

Good evening, update is here, happily cast your monthly votes!!

Ahem, I didn't want to compete for monthly votes this month, but at the end of the month, I saw that the gap between the top of the category list and the previous book wasn't too big, so I had an outbreak. The effect of the two-day outbreak was gratifying, and the distance between me and the guy in front was sometimes far and sometimes near, elusive; Hu Die will continue to work hard in the last two days, and I hope that students with monthly votes can support me more... Ahem, I'm not good at chasing people. In fact, I still like others to chase my back, wa ha ha ha, I hope it can be realized~~
