Chapter 4 The Four Guild Leaders' Troubles

The four guild leaders were frowning. Courtney was right in front of them. Each of them sent their best quest-digging players to pester and cajole her, but they couldn't unearth any quest clues. As for where Qianli Zui had gone, they had no idea. Yun Zhong Mudi was the first among the four to contemplate murder. He wanted to try forcing Courtney to drop something, to see if he could get any clues that way.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Ni Liu Er Shang said, shaking his head. "She's just an NPC with no connection to the quest right now. Would you randomly kill NPCs in the city just to test if there's a quest? I don't think you're unaware of the consequences of attacking these civilian NPCs, right?"

Attacking civilian NPCs would result in a merciless attack from the system guards, even if it was just accidental. In this regard, the system was clearly biased, only favoring their NPC brethren and not considering the players at all.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. I refuse to believe that if we attack him now, guards will come to his rescue," Yun Zhong Mudi said.

"I just want you to know that there will be severe penalties for attacking system NPCs for no reason. Perhaps guards won't attack during this extraordinary period, but will it deduct your city war points?" Ni Liu Er Shang asked.

Yun Zhong Mudi paused, then suddenly smiled again: "If it really will deduct my city war points, I think you'd be even less likely to stop me, right?"

Ni Liu Er Shang was also stunned. He honestly had no such sinister intentions at that moment. He was simply analyzing and considering that killing Courtney was not a good idea, but apparently, the reputation he had built up was not like that. At this critical moment, Yun Zhong Mudi did not hesitate to view him from a dark angle.

"It wouldn't be bad to deduct your points. It would be best if you died twice more. If you want to kill him, then go ahead!" Ni Liu Er Shang said in annoyance, and simply didn't argue.

"What about you two?" Yun Zhong Mudi looked at Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Hei Se Shi Zhi.

The two were hesitating when suddenly they all received a message in the guild channel: "Guild Leader, someone wants to see you."

"Who is it?" the four asked.

"I don't know, but he says he knows where Qianli Zui and the others are!"

"Ah?" The four were shocked and quickly asked for directions. Then, they rushed over together, their movements perfectly synchronized.

The four guild leaders were afraid of dying and losing honor points, so they didn't easily approach people now. The players around them were also helping them stay alert, not allowing any unfamiliar faces to get close. Until this extremely tempting news appeared, the four dared not delay. While going to find the person, they also gathered a defensive team.

The person appeared in front of the four. Wu Shi Zhi Jian was a little surprised at first glance: "He looks a little familiar, I think I've seen you before?"

The person sighed.

"Why do you know where Qianli Zui is?" Ni Liu Er Shang asked.

"Because I know the sequel to their quest."

Such a familiar line! The four were stunned. Wu Shi Zhi Jian immediately remembered: "It's you! Aren't you the kid who was with Hongchen Yixiao?"

The other three also "Oh"-ed when they heard this. They also remembered that Hongchen Yixiao wasn't actually alone. He had a companion with him.

"Damn, are you trying to make us look like fools for the third time?" Yun Zhong Mudi felt angry and suddenly slashed out with his sword.

Duanshui Jian turned to dodge, his arm quickly rising, the short crossbow in his hand already aimed at Yun Zhong Mudi's temple. He didn't attack. Even if he did, it wouldn't be anything to a warrior. However, this action showed his superb PK skills. He didn't attack, seemingly expressing that he had no malice.

"You really have some misunderstandings," Duanshui Jian said helplessly.

The four guild leaders didn't speak.

Duanshui Jian had already put away the short crossbow. He said, "Now you can't find Qianli Zui at all, and you can't sabotage his quest. You also suspect that I'm a spy sent by Qianli Zui to deliberately mislead you? Do you have a direction now?"

Yun Zhong Mudi now had an absolute reverse-thinking. Hearing Duanshui Jian say this, he smiled and said, "In that case, I'm even more confident in moving this NPC."

The other three heard this and were also moved. Perhaps it was precisely because there was an important plot on this NPC that Qianli Zui was worried about them killing her, so he deliberately found this guy to fool them. This statement almost tricked them again!

"Hongchen Yixiao also asked me to remind you that you must never touch Courtney again, otherwise, you will witness an unstoppable Berserk Boss," Duanshui Jian said.

"Hahahaha, then I'll just go and see," Yun Zhong Mudi laughed loudly and immediately assembled the team in the guild channel. They had seen Courtney's combat power. It was indeed very strong, but with the strength of a thousand-member guild, they could still take it down. Now she didn't have the uncontrolled hatred of chasing only Qianli Zui like before.

"It's good that you're dead, at least it can make the other three guild leaders believe what I'm saying," Duanshui Jian said.

The other three were already eager to try. Hearing this, they felt that it wouldn't be a bad thing to continue to wait and see. Yun Zhong Mudi sneered. He naturally had his own ideas in his mind. He was just going to attack and try. If this NPC was really as invincible as this guy said, he would just retreat. How much loss would that be?

"Team One at twelve o'clock, Team Two at one o'clock, Team Three at three o'clock, Team Four at five o'clock, Team Six at six o'clock, Team Seven at eight o'clock, Team Nine at nine o'clock, Team Ten at ten o'clock, everyone get into position!" Yun Zhong Mudi issued orders in the guild. The Muyun Guild was divided into ten teams, ready to attack. After all, Courtney was not the kind of wild, dedicated Boss that would actively attack people. She could be classified as a passive monster.

"Attack!" With Yun Zhong Mudi's order, the warriors from ten directions surrounded her. A passive monster that wouldn't take the initiative to attack was too advantageous for players to form a formation.

Five swords, five shields, ten warriors almost gathered around Courtney at the same time.

Attack, instant kill.

Everything happened extremely neatly. There was no ambiguity. At the same time as the ten people attacked, they died.

This was not all. In the white light of the ten people blooming, Courtney's arrows were still flying.

Ten arrows, instantly killing ten more people.

The players were shocked. Shooting people through was called "penetrating attack" in the game. It was a common attribute on archers' bows and crossbows. Generally, it was a chance to trigger secondary damage after penetration, and it was usually greatly weakened.

Courtney's ten arrows all penetrated. Was the damage weakened? No one knew. No one knew what her original damage was, they only knew that when her arrows came out, they were instant kills. Including five constitution-type heavy-armored warriors, they were all instantly killed.

This attack power was indeed much stronger than her last berserk state. The players who surrounded her didn't dare to move. With instant-kill-level damage, the players had no way to deal with it at all. Rely on sacrifice to push forward? If they could resurrect in place, they could try it, but here...

The players didn't dare to move, but Courtney didn't stop. She drew her bow and shot again. This time the players could see clearly that there were more than ten arrows, and the attack was not a fan shape, but a circle. Courtney spun around while shooting arrows, and the arrows were shot out in a 360-degree circle.

The arrows were very fast, and the players had no ability to dodge. Those who were hit by the arrows died instantly. Then, penetrating attack, another round of death.

The arrows were still shooting, and there was anger, determination, and sadness on Courtney's face. She would no longer allow anyone to destroy her protection of Angus.

The faces of the three guild leaders, Wu Shi Zhi Jian, changed. The mood of eager anticipation had vanished. At this time, they were all ordering the guild players to retreat. Courtney's arrows would kill you if you were hit. Parallel worlds have never had damage immunity, and countless wronged onlookers can testify.

Yun Zhong Mudi was the one who wanted to run the most. What formation, what recovery, what cover, he didn't care about anything at this time. There was only one word: escape.

Escape as far as you can.

Tragedy always belongs to short-legged people.

Courtney didn't chase, she just stood in place and shot arrows, but not only was her attack high, the number of shots was also high, and even the range was extremely far. The players didn't know how far they had to run to make her stop attacking, they could only run for their lives.

When Courtney stopped, there was no one within a hundred meters.

Not to mention the Muyun Guild, even the three major guilds had accidentally been hit by attacks while evacuating.

Muyun Guild? Almost all the thieves and archers who escaped were alive. Courtney's attack, 360 degrees, 20 arrows at a time, two people per arrow, ten attacks were four hundred people. The Muyun Guild had worked very hard to run away. In the end, only 274 people survived, and the dead included Yun Zhong Mudi himself. When Courtney's arrows flew over, he was no different from a level 1 newbie who had just left the academy. He instantly fell to the ground. The Muyun Guild created the record for the largest scale guild destruction in Yun Duan City.

Yun Zhong Mudi regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He only had two chances to die, so he, who had always been at the forefront of the battle, had not been in the front this time.

He shrank back in the team, ready to calmly command, and also so that if Courtney was really "invincible", he could retreat calmly.

How would he know that Courtney would be so perverted? Yun Zhong Mudi was in tears.

"Now the three of you should believe what I said, right?" Duanshui Jian said to Wu Shi Zhi Jian and the other two.

The three looked at each other.

"Could it be a misunderstanding?" Ni Liu Er Shang said.

"Hongchen Yixiao... is in District Seventeen now, right?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked.

"Yes, he can't contact you anymore," Duanshui Jian said.

"Tell us what we should do next first," Hei Se Shi Zhi said.

"The forest to the north! Qianli Zui and the others need to go there to get some necessities," Duanshui Jian said.

"What are you waiting for, chase them quickly!" The four major guilds issued orders one after another.

"With those people's speed, they've taken a step ahead, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up," Duanshui Jian said.

"What should we do then?"

"We can only go to the next location of their mission in advance," Duanshui Jian said.

"Oh? Which side is it?" the three guild leaders asked.

"Follow me." Duanshui Jian led the way, and the three were depressed when they saw where he was going: "Is it still near Yun Jiao Lake?"

Duanshui Jian nodded.

The three sighed. They originally thought that Yun Jiao Lake was a good ambush location, but now it seemed that Qianli Zui could also perform extraordinarily well.

"Hurry up!" Duanshui Jian said.

"Let's go," the three guild leaders led the team.

"What's the situation now? Wait for me..." Yun Zhong Mudi sent a message in pain.

"Old Brother Yun Zhong, you're only one death away... You should stay at the resurrection point and be in a daze!" The three guild leaders comforted him.

"Don't even think about getting rid of me like this," Yun Zhong Mudi said in grief and indignation.

"What are you saying? We are also thinking about your safety, Brother Yun Zhong," the three guild leaders said.

It would have been better if they hadn't said that. As soon as they said that, Yun Zhong Mudi was shocked and fearful again. Only one more death... Maybe these three guys would really take the opportunity to attack him. He was now in a situation of internal and external troubles. What should he do?

At the northern end of Yun Jiao Lake, Xi Xiaotian and the other two quickly went around the lake and came to this place. It was a forest. It didn't look very big. Courtney said that the things were placed in her residence. Everyone thought that this girl wouldn't be living in a tree hole. There should be a small house in the forest, which would be a relatively easy target to find.

After entering the forest, Xi Xiaotian suggested that they split up to find it. Xiyao Wu nodded and walked to the right. Yutian Shenming appeared extremely calm and strode to the left. With a beautiful woman in front of him, Yutian Shenming decided that he must not show timidity even if he got lost.

"What are you running around for? Follow me." As a result, Xi Xiaotian grabbed him back.

Yutian Shenming naively thought that no one would know about his little problem. It was really wishful thinking.

Feeling very embarrassed, Yutian Shenming followed Xi Xiaotian to act together. Sure enough, they found a small house in the forest. Yutian Shenming excitedly wanted to break in, but suddenly stopped in front of the door, took two steps back to the original place, and whispered to Xi Xiaotian: "There's movement inside."

"What movement?" Xi Xiaotian was notifying Xiyao Wu of their location.

"It seems like someone is inside," Yutian Shenming said.

"No way?" Xi Xiaotian was stunned.

Yutian Shenming walked around the small house. The small house was really too small. There were no windows on the walls, but a skylight was opened on the roof.

"Could it be a battle?" Yutian Shenming muttered. This was the reason why he didn't dare to enter the house rashly.

"Wait for Xiao Xi to come over," Xi Xiaotian said.

The forest was not big, and Xiyao Wu didn't run far. She received Xi Xiaotian's message and ran over soon. She didn't care when she heard that there was someone in the house. She strode forward: "Look at how scared you are, I'll go take a look."

"Xiao Xi, don't." Xi Xiaotian quickly stopped her. "There are people in the other party's camp who are completely familiar with the mission. Maybe he anticipated this step and sent people over to set a trap." Xi Xiaotian said while vigilantly looking around.

Yutian Shenming thought it made sense. He set up his bow and arrow and aimed randomly.

"That bastard Qianli hasn't come over yet," Xiyao Wu sent a message to Gu Fei.

The door opened with a "creak".

Without thinking, Yutian Shenming shot an arrow.

"Damn it!" A word, a figure flickered in the door. The voice sounded familiar.

Then Gu Fei walked out with a dark face and glared at Yutian Shenming: "What are you doing?"

The three were dumbfounded, and Yutian Shenming said in surprise: "How did you get here first?"

"Oh, it turns out the teleportation scroll is closer to here," Gu Fei said.

The faces of the three immediately darkened.

"Why didn't you give us the teleportation scroll just now!" Xiyao Wu was angry, although she didn't remember it at the time.

"Oh, didn't you want to swim over? I thought it was your hobby," Gu Fei said.

"Hobby your sister!" Xiyao Wu cursed.

"Did you find the things?" Xi Xiaotian didn't argue about this.

"Found it." Gu Fei took it out for the few of them to see. It was a scroll. Magical props always seemed to be scrolls.

"What kind of scroll is it?" the three asked.

"Magic Bubble, it says that it can generate a spherical magic barrier on the surface of an object after use," Gu Fei said.

"What does that mean?"

"Are you asking me?" Gu Fei was surprised. He was still waiting for someone to explain it!

"Is there only one?" the three asked Gu Fei.

"There are three." Gu Fei took out two more scrolls.

"I want one." Xiyao Wu pounced over. Gu Fei dodged and kicked her into the house.

"To be safe, should we go back and ask Courtney how to use it?" Xi Xiaotian said.

Gu Fei nodded: "Let's ask, don't waste it by using it blindly."

"But the people from the four major guilds are still there," Yutian Shenming said.

"Let's sneak back and take a look first." Gu Fei said while dodging Xiyao Wu's attack from inside the house.

"To be safe, let's use the teleportation scroll. They shouldn't be able to figure out that route," Xi Xiaotian suggested.

Gu Fei nodded, shook a scroll, and the four flew out. Then, they ran towards Courtney again.

After scouting from a distance on the hillside, there was nothing unusual around Courtney. Who would have thought that just 100 meters away from her, more than 800 players had been killed. Seeing that there was no movement, the four immediately went forward.

Gu Fei went straight to the point and took out the "Magic Bubble" scroll and asked Courtney how to use it.

Courtney was also straightforward. She took one and gave Gu Fei a demonstration on his head. She shook the scroll, and it quickly turned into countless bubbles, which were very closely united around Gu Fei's head. Gu Fei was very at a loss with such a huge bubble head, and the other three laughed so hard that they couldn't wait to roll on the ground to have a good time.

"That's it! The magic bubble will wrap around your head and provide oxygen for you to breathe. One scroll can last about fifteen minutes," Courtney said.

At this time, the dense small bubbles on Gu Fei's head were constantly merging with each other, and soon they all merged into one large bubble. Gu Fei's head was clearly visible inside, but such a large bubble on his head was even more laughable, and the three of them were about to laugh to death.

"If you use two together, will the effect be superimposed?" Xi Xiaotian asked, not forgetting to ask something serious while laughing wildly.

"Yes," Courtney nodded.

"Fifteen minutes, I don't know if it's enough to complete what needs to be done at the bottom of the water. To be safe, let's just send one person? Two scrolls can guarantee at least half an hour," Xi Xiaotian said.

"If I had known it was so simple, I wouldn't have come to ask her, what a waste," Gu Fei said painfully.

"Before you get to the mission location, can this still be on your head?" Xi Xiaotian asked.

"No," Gu Fei said.

"That's a pity," Xi Xiaotian said regretfully.

"Hey, you two, have you laughed enough?" Gu Fei glared at the other two.

In the reeds directly opposite Courtney, there were guild guys lying down. They were quickly reporting to the guild leader: "Qianli Zui appeared and is in contact with Courtney!"

"Damn it!!!" The three guild leaders who were fully ambushing according to Duanshui Jian's arrangement were furious and glared at Duanshui Jian.
