Hu Die Lan

Chapter 542 Lao Duan, You've Misunderstood Again

The cheers of the Extremely Cold Deep players abruptly stopped as Gu Fei climbed the tree. Everyone reverted to their expressions from seconds before, when they were enjoying Gu Fei's idiotic look as he challenged the trap pit, mouths agape as they stared upwards.

Climbing a tree wasn't anything special in the game, but suddenly climbing a tree in such a close one-on-one PK was a PK technique that even the players living in the Great Forest of Lin Yin hadn't developed yet.

"How did he do that?" People whispered to each other. Some even simulated the action in pairs, bending over so others could step on their heads to see if it was a quick way to climb a tree. The truth was, setting aside Gu Fei's Instant Movement skill, being able to accurately step on a round head and quickly borrow strength was also a skill! Because this step had to be very fast, since the two were fighting, not deliberately stiffening their necks to be used as support. If you weren't fast enough, if the person turned their head and dodged, or if you stepped too hard and knocked them down, the purpose of borrowing strength wouldn't be achieved.

Then, seeing Gu Fei gracefully turn and dodge six consecutive Arrow of Severed Water shots on a single log, everyone became even more silent. The crowd thought that cheering for Arrow of Severed Water again would be unfair: his opponent was such a terrifying guy, asking Lao Duan to win was too much to ask, they couldn't make things so difficult for Lao Duan.

Although Arrow of Severed Water knew that continuing to shoot arrows would be difficult to hit Gu Fei, he felt that he still had the initiative in the current situation. Gu Fei was standing on the tree, and any slight mistake would cause him to fall or be hit by an arrow, while he didn't seem to be able to make any threatening attacks against him.

Suddenly, a burst of light flashed in the upper air, Arrow of Severed Water was startled for a moment, and quickly took a step to dodge, another lightning bolt avoided his feet. Arrow of Severed Water's face turned pale again. It had only been a few minutes! How could he forget that he was also a mage? Arrow of Severed Water really wanted to slap himself.

Even so, he was still at an advantage!

The speed of a mage's spell attacks couldn't compare to that of an archer's arrows, especially since most spells had a somewhat flamboyant prelude. Even with Gu Fei's skill, he couldn't change this.

Arrow of Severed Water clearly assessed the situation and immediately stopped hesitating, raising his head to shoot again.

The crossbow strings rang continuously, and short arrows were fired in succession. Gu Fei on the tree remained the same, turning left, turning right, sidestepping, bending over, looking like he could fall at any moment, but he just didn't fall, and not a single arrow hit him.

Arrow of Severed Water was very patient. He hid his Snipe, unwilling to use it. He didn't want Gu Fei to even adapt to the speed of Snipe. He wanted to wait until Gu Fei's dodging showed a flaw before delivering a sudden blow. What's more, not using Snipe was a kind of pressure on Gu Fei. Using it casually would at least give him a lot of relaxation during the subsequent cooldown time. Snipe wasn't some high-level unannounced skill, all the data was available in the official information, and everyone knew the normal 45-second cooldown. Arrow of Severed Water wanted Gu Fei's spirit to remain tense, not even giving him this 45-second breather.

In the game, it was too difficult to make the body feel fatigue, but mental fatigue was exactly the same as in the real world. Arrow of Severed Water wanted to force Gu Fei to become mentally exhausted first.

Drawing an arrow from the quiver, loading it, and shooting again, Arrow of Severed Water performed this set of actions skillfully. As soon as he finished loading the arrow, he raised his crossbow and shot, and then it was Gu Fei's performance time.

During the attack, Arrow of Severed Water also tried to attack Gu Fei by calculating the lead, but he found that Gu Fei's dodging wasn't the kind of desperate running in an "s" pattern that made it impossible to aim, but rather calmly dodging after seeing the direction of Arrow of Severed Water's attack. This was undoubtedly a method that only people with excellent judgment and reaction could adopt. Arrow of Severed Water tried to distract Gu Fei with some tricks, but he didn't succeed. He found that Gu Fei's eyes didn't seem to have him in them, but only the crossbow in his hand. Gu Fei was focusing all his attention on guarding against where the crossbow was pointing, as for whether Arrow of Severed Water was alive or dead, crouching or standing, he didn't care.

"I don't believe you can keep dodging forever!!" Arrow of Severed Water's stubbornness also came up. He emptied one quiver after another, not giving up, replenishing arrows and shooting again. Gu Fei would also return one or two spells to him from time to time, such as lightning, area-of-effect spells, and small fireballs. Arrow of Severed Water dodged and counterattacked. The two of them, in this way, maintained a certain distance, going back and forth.

"Uh..." Someone in the audience yawned first, and immediately it spread like H1N1, and yawns began to rise and fall.

For the two people's PK, everyone had gone from the initial amazement to aesthetic fatigue. If a climax didn't come soon, everyone was ready to abandon this pit.

"It's been almost half an hour, right?" One guy asked his friend.

"24 minutes and 34 seconds..." The friend next to him was obviously so bored that his balls hurt, he stopped watching the PK and started watching the time.

"Can they even decide a winner this way?" At the beginning, the audience's mentality was the same as Arrow of Severed Water's, they all thought that Arrow of Severed Water had a slight advantage, and that Gu Fei on the tree would make a mistake, but after so long, the facts spoke louder than words...

"Yes, they will." Unexpectedly, someone still held such an optimistic attitude, "Lao Duan's arrows will run out sooner or later, right?"

"Hey, hey, don't lend Lao Duan any arrows! If he comes to borrow them!" This voice quickly spread among the audience, and every player firmly clutched their own arrow pouches.

"Can't there be some change..." After all, some people still had some expectations for this PK, hoping there could be a climax.

"Sigh!" Most people had pessimistic expressions on their faces.

"That guy just keeps dodging like that, why doesn't he come down?"

"Afraid of the trap array on the ground, right..."

"But there aren't any there..."

"Shhh!!!" Someone immediately covered his mouth. Although they hoped the fight would end sooner, everyone still hoped that Arrow of Severed Water would win, and they didn't want Gu Fei to know this important news.

"Lao Duan might as well chase him up the tree." Someone suggested.

"If he climbs halfway up the tree, and a wide-range spell comes down, how will he dodge?"

"Sigh... it looks like we really can only wait for Lao Duan's arrows to run out." Everyone sighed deeply.

Compared to these spectators, Arrow of Severed Water in the midst of the battle showed no signs of anxiety, and his mental fortitude was obviously very strong. More importantly, he didn't regard Gu Fei as a normal person at all, and didn't expect to be able to deal with him in a few minutes.

"This PK is no longer a matter of skill! It's a competition of spirit, it depends on who can maintain their concentration to the end in this situation!! I have a greater advantage by taking the initiative, his mental exhaustion must be greater than mine, I can't lose!" Arrow of Severed Water cheered himself on.

Another ten minutes passed, and Arrow of Severed Water continued to concentrate on dealing with this mental competition, but suddenly heard Gu Fei speak, breaking the balance of the situation.

"Why did you only arrive now." He heard Gu Fei say.

"There are many traps in the forest, so I had to be more careful." A voice from behind him answered.

Arrow of Severed Water quickly turned his head, and saw Sword Demon. He didn't know when he had arrived behind him, less than three meters away.

Arrow of Severed Water was too focused, and didn't realize that someone had arrived behind him.

"Your task." He suddenly heard Gu Fei say from the tree. Then, he saw Gu Fei stretch out, and gracefully jump down from the tree. After landing steadily, he even walked a few steps happily, not afraid of the traps that might be on the ground. Although there weren't any, Gu Fei's mentality shouldn't be like this...

Arrow of Severed Water was a little confused. He vaguely felt that he thought he was taking the initiative, but he was actually being led by the nose. He thought this was a contest of mental will, but in reality, it seemed to be a delay. Was everything just to have Sword Demon come over and complete his daily task? It really came back to a very genre-appropriate origin... this is a game.

Arrow of Severed Water looked at Gu Fei pacing around, and suddenly realized that the positions he was stepping on at this moment were all the ones he had run through before. This guy was using spells to attack him from the tree, forcing Arrow of Severed Water to run and dodge. Especially with large-scale spells, the running distance would be very long. And during this process, he had actually memorized all the traces that Arrow of Severed Water had walked, and at this time, only walking on these positions, it didn't matter whether there were traps on the ground or not.

After taking a few more glances, Arrow of Severed Water collapsed again. Gu Fei wasn't just taking a leisurely stroll at this time, but was reviewing the positions that Arrow of Severed Water had walked through, trying to find the best position to attack Arrow of Severed Water from. He was actually doing preparations so nonchalantly, had he already been regarded as a fish on the chopping board?

Gu Fei was a professional in combat, so he was naturally very efficient. Before long, he had already chosen a plan. He looked up and saw Arrow of Severed Water looking at him. He tilted his head and looked at Sword Demon behind Arrow of Severed Water: "Do you need my help?"

Before anyone could answer, the spectators couldn't stand it anymore: "Fight one-on-one!! Shameless!!!"

Cries of abuse were everywhere, but none of the parties involved were annoyed. Sword Demon said calmly, "No need." Gu Fei said "Oh" and then stood still.

Arrow of Severed Water looked at this one, and then at that one. Although they were enemies, and although they were the balance breakers that Ye Xiao Wu had mentioned, Arrow of Severed Water already had some understanding of these two guys' character. He believed that even if the two of them were going to gang up on him, they wouldn't use such tricks to deceive their opponent. Since Sword Demon said "No need," it seemed that Qian Li Zui wouldn't interfere next, and he would be dueling Sword Demon himself.

Arrow of Severed Water turned around and looked at Sword Demon. Of course, Sword Demon wasn't as terrifying as Qian Li Zui, but he had also defeated Apple Vinegar, and the two of them were now less than three meters apart. At this distance, with the speed of Misty Shadow Raid, even if he knew how to dodge, it was still very suspenseful.

However, with traps all over the ground, this guy would also be worried and wouldn't use such a direct attack method. Arrow of Severed Water thought, and raised his short crossbow again, his hand still as steady as ever.

Sword Demon's figure suddenly disappeared. Arrow of Severed Water cried out in his heart that things were bad. When Sword Demon reappeared, he was already in front of him, and the daggers in his left and right hands stabbed at him at the same time. Arrow of Severed Water only made a partial dodge with his subconscious, and his heart was full of tragedy.

He miscalculated again. He had never expected that an old-school hardcore player like Sword Demon would be so rash as to completely disregard the existence of traps on the ground...
