Chapter 69 No Way Out

"Then there's no time to waste, I have to hurry. What if they figure out what you're doing and set up an ambush at the teleport location? I'd be dead before I knew it." Gu Fei was also very good at summarizing experience. The ambush he encountered when he logged in today was really hard to defend against.

Xi Xiaotian looked at him and said, "Since the other side has someone familiar with the game's quests like you said, they probably already know where you're going."

Gu Fei paused. "You're right, I need to be more careful."

After saying that, he checked the heavy sword strapped to his back. This was something Xi Yao Wu picked up at random when she went to get the coordinates, and it was an important tool for him to resist the buoyancy.

"I'm going." Gu Fei seized the time, shook the scroll that Xi Yao Wu had given him, and disappeared in a flash of white light.

On the surface of Yun Jiao Lake, the water players of the three major guilds were all splashing around. Xi Yao Wu came over for a stroll, teleported away with the scroll, making the three guild leaders think they had lost again. But Duanshui Jian confidently told them that Xi Yao Wu's behavior looked like she was just scouting the way, and if the other party wanted to do a quest, the content wouldn't be so simple.

As for why they were scouting, no one could guess. No one expected that it would be because Qian Li Zui couldn't swim.

"What do we do now?" The three guild leaders had also personally stayed at the scene to supervise.

"After testing the waters and finding out that we have defenses, perhaps they will look for other methods. From the perspective of convenient combat, the land is undoubtedly more suitable. I think Qian Li Zui may still choose to break through from the shore..." Duanshui Jian was analyzing when, before he finished speaking, a white light suddenly appeared on the lake, followed by a "plop." Gu Fei teleported to the location and fell into the water.

This was a resounding slap in the face for Duanshui Jian's analysis. Duanshui Jian blushed, didn't say anything, waved his hand, and the swimming experts who had been selected earlier sank into the water with him, drew their bows, and let their arrows fly.

"Shoot for the head!" This was the instruction Duanshui Jian gave.

But Gu Fei wasn't willing to use the "Magic Bubble" scroll just yet! He wanted to hold his breath first, and use the scroll when he couldn't hold on anymore, which would give him a little more time.

Several arrows flew over. Although their speed was greatly slowed in the water, people's actions were also slowed down, so neither side had an advantage. However, Gu Fei, a guy who couldn't swim, was really clumsy in the water. This was completely different from fighting on land. Moves required strength from the ground, but now he was suspended in the water, and he couldn't get any force from treading water.

Fortunately, Gu Fei was carrying a heavy sword, so he sank fast enough, which was beyond the expectations of these players. In addition, they were all aiming for his head, so Gu Fei's descent allowed him to avoid all the arrows. Only Duanshui Jian, after missing two arrows, flexibly adjusted his attack angle based on Gu Fei's sinking speed. Gu Fei wasn't idle either. He blocked with his sword in front of him and slowly swiped it twice, actually blocking two arrows. Unfortunately, the fifth arrow still hit him. His own and the opponent's attack rhythm and speed had changed in the water, and Gu Fei couldn't adapt to this rhythm for a while.

In this exchange, Gu Fei had already sunk to the bottom of the water, and the dark hole without a barrier was right in front of him. Gu Fei seized the time, preparing to use Instant Move, but when he opened his mouth, he swallowed a mouthful of water.

"Careless..." Gu Fei was ashamed, he had forgotten such an important thing in his haste. So he didn't economize and took out the "Magic Bubble" scroll, tapped his head, and used it. Bubbles instantly gathered densely around Gu Fei's head. Gu Fei tried it slightly, and now there was no more difficulty in breathing. Pleased, he recorded the time, and then cast an "Instant Move."

This skill didn't have any obstacles in the water. Gu Fei immediately flashed to the entrance of the hole, and then he heard a "snap." Gu Fei was so depressed that he wanted to curse: a lot of trap clips had been dropped at the entrance of the hole.

The sound of water surged behind him. Gu Fei looked back and saw several knife-wielding thieves rapidly approaching him, and their movements were extremely agile, as if they were not affected by the resistance of the water at all.

At this time, Duanshui Jian also took out a test tube and gently crushed it. Instantly, a patch of oily flowers bloomed from the test tube, and then adhered to Duanshui Jian's body. His movements immediately became as agile as those thieves, and he quickly swam towards Gu Fei.

"Hehe, you have magic scrolls, and we also have magic potions. Magic Fish Oil, increases underwater mobility by 100%. Basically, it's no different from being on land." Duanshui Jian regretted not being able to explain it to Gu Fei. At this time, he was gesturing to the thieves, reminding them that the primary target of attack was the bubble on Gu Fei's head. As for the archers, they didn't need to use any Magic Fish Oil. Their actions being faster wouldn't mean that their arrows would become faster. The arrows wouldn't be affected by this Fish Oil.

Several players saw Qian Li Zui standing at the entrance of the hole, unable to move, and were secretly delighted. Moreover, they were acting as usual, while Qian Li Zui's actions in the water would be slowed down by 50%. This was really a godsend.

A group of people darted towards Gu Fei like torpedoes. At this moment, they had the belief that they would win. Even if they sacrificed themselves, they would shatter Qian Li Zui, or shatter the big bubble on Qian Li Zui's head.

So big! It's really big! How could it be impossible to attack such a big bubble? The player who had rushed to the front stretched out his hand, and the bubble was within reach.

Suddenly, several currents of electricity shot straight up from the ground. Even the lake water seemed to tremble under this powerful attack. The electric light flickered, and it didn't seem so bright in this lake water. However, it clearly blocked this group of people. A wall of electricity. At this critical moment, Gu Fei chanted a Wall of Thunder.

Several players knew that something was wrong, but they couldn't stop... Traveling so fast on the road, it was impossible to stop instantly, especially in the water. Several guys desperately floundered, but they still floundered onto the wall of electricity one after another.

Electric light surged, and together with the water, encompassed the several players. The players twitched, but couldn't even scream. When they opened their mouths, the lake water poured in.

But there was still one person, Duanshui Jian. He didn't come from the same direction as the thieves, so he didn't hit the wall of electricity. At this time, he swam to the flank and continued to attack Gu Fei. But Gu Fei was now at the entrance of the hole, with the wall of electricity blocking him in front, leaving only a narrow gap for Duanshui Jian to approach Gu Fei. Duanshui Jian had almost no space to attack.

But Duanshui Jian's goal was just the bubble on Gu Fei's head. This bubble had no defense. Duanshui Jian raised his short crossbow, preparing to fire a five-shot burst through this gap and directly blow it up.

Gu Fei looked at Duanshui Jian and smiled, then suddenly bent backwards.

Duanshui Jian burst into tears. Gu Fei's bending back actually hid his bubble head in the hole. In this way, the angle of the gap was not enough to shoot, and the places with enough angle were all blocked by the wall of electricity.

Duanshui Jian didn't retreat. He could only shoot randomly into the gap, hoping that the arrow would drift randomly and bounce off a wall to break Gu Fei's bubble head.

Unfortunately, Duanshui Jian didn't have such great luck. What was even more fatal was that without the bubble head, he quickly reached his breathing limit, and his life began to decline. Duanshui Jian swam towards the surface of the water while continuing to throw swords into the gap without giving up. The guys stuck to the wall of electricity also faced this crisis after the wall of electricity disappeared. But seeing Gu Fei right in front of them, these brothers with the torpedo spirit decided to let their lives decline, and eliminate Gu Fei before that.

"Wall of Thunder!!" Gu Fei shouted.

The brothers heard it clearly and were startled. They were about to swim forward when they hurriedly dodged backward. As a result, after retreating, it was just a bluff, and there was no Wall of Thunder at all. After such a toss, the lives of several people were drowned a little more. The people did not dare to neglect. Quickly rushed towards Gu Fei at full speed, but at this time the trap on Gu Fei's feet had also reached the time to fall off, and quickly walked towards the hole.

The hole should have been very dark, but the "Magic Bubble" not only provided breathing, but also had the function of lighting. The bubble was like a big light bulb, emitting a faint light, illuminating the cave, and also making Gu Fei as conspicuous as a light bulb. The brothers behind him chased urgently, and Gu Fei also worked hard to move forward, forward, forward.

"Bubble, bubble!!!" The people at this time estimated that they no longer had time to kill Gu Fei, their only goal was to pierce the bubble. They knew the role of the bubble, and naturally understood the importance of the bubble in this task.

"Explode!!" One person suddenly threw the dagger in his hand with all his strength. His movements were not slow, but the thrown dagger was the same as the arrows shot, but it was not affected by the Magic Fish Oil effect, and it drifted so slowly in the water. However, the target was close at hand, and there was no reason not to throw it.

With a "whoosh," the water flow surged, and Gu Fei, who was originally close at hand, suddenly disappeared. Six meters away, the big headlight continued to shine with a faint light.

Instant Move. At the critical time, the cooldown of Gu Fei's Instant Move finally came.

Several people collapsed. Their lives had turned red, they had no time to chase closer to this distance of six meters, and they had no time to swim out of the water to breathe. They would collectively drown in this water hole.

White light, blooming in the water one after another. Several people died one after another as their lives reached zero. Gu Fei looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous. If those guys caught up, he might be able to deal with one or two, but with so many of them, moving freely and calling him, even a god would be hard to resist.

"Everything is going well, I'm continuing to move forward." Gu Fei reported safety to the three people outside.

On the surface of the water, Duanshui Jian poked his head out and gasped for breath. A small boat with Love written on it and a heart pierced by an arrow slowly came over. The owner of the boat was Wu Shi Zhi Jian. He saw Duanshui Jian soaking in the water at a glance and enthusiastically waved to him: "Lao Duan, how's the situation?"

"You're too late." Duanshui Jian said.

"Damn it, no one can row the boat, it's a pain." Wu Shi Zhi Jian realized that he needed to learn how to operate a boat, otherwise he would have to bring a boatman when he went boating on the lake with Gu Xiao Shang in the future, which would be too obtrusive and disappointing.

"How's the situation?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian thought a little more and quickly returned to the topic.

"Not good." Duanshui Jian frowned.

"What?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian also became anxious.

At this time, several players who drowned in the guild channel reported: they failed to complete the task, and Qian Li Zui escaped with a bubble head.

"Alas!" Duanshui Jian slammed the water hard, stirring up countless splashes.

"What to do next?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked, while signaling the boat operator to bring the boat over and pick up Duanshui Jian.

The boat operator was obviously not skilled either. After almost being killed by the boat, Duanshui Jian still silently swam to the shore by himself.

"What's the situation?" Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi both came up. Over there, Wu Shi Zhi Jian was scolding, and the boat operator couldn't get the boat close to the shore for a long time, spinning around in place.

"Didn't stop him." Duanshui Jian looked back at the water with regret. Breathing was the first priority in water battles, but Qian Li Zui had an absolute advantage in this regard, and as a result, he escaped so easily.

"What to do next? Didn't you say that if this task is completed by him, the attacking side will be finished?" The two guild leaders were anxious.

"That's right."

"Then what to do, tell me quickly!" The two guild leaders roared.

"It seems... there's no way." Duanshui Jian smiled bitterly.

Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi were stunned. Was that it? One person easily passed through the water and hid in a hole, and then their Cloud City's eight hundred guilds' siege mission would be declared over? Was all this too simple? The two guild leaders didn't want to believe this was true.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian's love boat finally docked. He reprimanded the boatman a few more times before rushing over. Seeing the ashen expressions of Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi, he knew that something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"We lost..." Ni Liu Er Shang squeezed out four words from his mouth.

"What?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian was shocked and turned to glare at Duanshui Jian: "How could this happen?"

Duanshui Jian was silent.

"There's no way to remedy it?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian pressed.

"There's only one way." Duanshui Jian suddenly said.

"Damn! You have a way, why didn't you say it sooner, you're wasting time." Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi were originally looking like they were going to drown themselves, but when they heard this, they jumped up again.

"The only way is! To achieve the result of this task before Qian Li Zui does." Duanshui Jian said.

"What does this mean?" The three guild leaders were a little puzzled.

"As a two-way task, the content of the task is actually similar. The difference is the result. If you complete it, it will create a situation where the attacking side has an advantage; if Qian Li Zui completes it, it will be the defending side that wins." Duanshui Jian said.

"Wait. Why is it that if we complete it, we only have an advantage, but if he completes it, he can win?" Ni Liu Er Shang asked.

"Because two of your attacking side's camps have already been captured." Duanshui Jian said.

The three were stunned.

"Does this mean that after this task is completed, our other five camps will be captured at the same time? Resulting in our defeat?"

"That's right." Duanshui Jian nodded.

"What exactly is this task? Also, Qian Li Zui has already done the last step, how can we possibly catch up with him?" The three asked.

"We can directly jump to the last step of the task." Duanshui Jian said.

"Is that okay too?" The three were surprised.

"Of course."

"Then this is too casual, right? You can directly perform the last step and easily complete it, this..."

"Do you want to listen to my explanation, or hurry up and grab the task?" Duanshui Jian interrupted. "The explanation can be put aside for a while, now there is a very important question: with the current Cloud City siege situation, the guild that completes this task will occupy an absolute leading position in the siege points ranking... So, who among you will complete it?"

The three guild leaders looked at each other when they heard this question. This was the result they had been pursuing in the city battle, but now the opportunity was placed in front of them so simply, of course they all hoped to complete it themselves, but how could they get rid of the other two? Force? Impossible, the game is not reality, and people will be resurrected after death. If they keep entangled, no one will get any results. This problem can only be resolved peacefully.

"My suggestion is, draw lots, everyone depends on luck, how about it? The two who don't draw should not resent it, and don't deliberately destroy..." Duanshui Jian said.

"The two? What do you think?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian looked at the two.

"Let's do it this way!" Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi took a deep breath and agreed.

"Very good." Duanshui Jian nodded and casually picked a reed from beside him, broke three sections, one long and two short, and put them in his hand for the three to see: "Whoever draws the long one, the task will be completed by him."

"Okay." The three nodded.

Duanshui Jian held the three reeds in his palm, and the three guild leaders stepped forward one by one to draw.

"Hahahaha!!!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian laughed, and the result was self-evident.

Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi returned to the expression of wanting to jump into the lake, depressed and wanting to die.

"Lao Duan, quickly take us to the task. Ni Liu and Hei Se, come and help too? Although this task was drawn by our Zong Heng Si Hai, I, Wu Shi Zhi Jian, will never swallow the benefits that can be given to the two of you alone." Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

Ni Liu Er Shang and Hei Se Shi Zhi had an expression of disgust as if they had eaten flies, but they still reluctantly nodded.

"Okay, Guild Leader Wu Shi, call someone from your guild who is the fastest, and go to the Cloud Mine with me. Do you have teleport scrolls? Save time, take them all out if you have them! The rest of you go to xxx, xxx this area." Duanshui Jian said.

The three major guilds wouldn't even have a teleport scroll, but many people were not in front of them at this time. The three asked around and barely collected three.

"Is it enough?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked.

"It's enough." Duanshui Jian nodded, and Wu Shi Zhi Jian's manpower was also given, it was Dao Ying Nian Hua, one of his most trusted cores.

"Let's go, you also hurry up." Duanshui Jian and Dao Ying Nian Hua flew away. The three guild leaders Wu Shi Zhi Jian also led their troops towards the coordinate area that Duanshui Jian said.

The Cloud Mine was already very lively at this time.

"Find! There must be something very important here, be sure to find it for me, look carefully!!!" Yun Zhong Mu Di roared in his guild channel.
