"Pretty fast!" Gu Fei said with satisfaction, he liked efficiency.

But after the two of them greeted Gu Fei, they both widened their eyes. "In the city?" they asked, surprised.

"What's wrong?"

"You've already succeeded in attacking the city?" Gui Tong asked.

"No way, I'm on the defending side," Gu Fei said, knowing Gui Tong would continue to ask, so he simply explained the situation with the factions.

"I see," Gui Tong nodded.

"Is this Cloudrise City? Where are the clouds?" Yan Xiaozhu asked.

"Don't know," Gu Fei scratched his head. The naming of main cities in the game mostly directly reflects the regional style or scenery. The words "Cloudrise" sound like it's located above the clouds, so Cloudrise City should be a mountain city with a very high altitude, with clouds floating halfway up the mountainside. But in fact, the scenery of Cloudrise City couldn't be more ordinary. Outside the city are plains, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes... everything, except clouds.

"See that clock tower over there?" Gu Fei pointed to the tallest building in the main city. "That's very high. After going to the top, you can sometimes see clouds next to it."

"That's considered Cloudrise?" Yan Xiaozhu said disdainfully.

"That's enough. A city full of clouds is your Mistywind City," Gu Fei said.

"Is there anything you need my help with?" Gui Tong asked.

"Let's talk as we walk!" Gu Fei led the two out of the city gate. Both sides were lined up with troops, and the battlefield was empty, with only a scavenger picking up stones in the center. Gui Tong and Yan Xiaozhu didn't understand and looked at Gu Fei, hoping he could explain.

"It's a stalemate. Don't touch the NPCs, or they will attack," Gu Fei said. Previously, he and Jian Gui had learned a little from You Ge about the system soldiers' attitude towards neutral players: "I will not offend others unless they offend me." But this "offend me" doesn't only refer to attacking the system guards. For example, if three siege players attack a certain guard, and a neutral support player is healing or buffing them, this will also be judged as an opponent by the system and attacked.

You Ge joined the battlefield originally not wanting to fight, but he couldn't help himself. He always accidentally walked to places where help was needed. Players would call out to him, "Bro, give me a strength buff," etc. If You Ge gave the buff, the system would treat him as an enemy? If he didn't, a bunch of people would glare and point fingers, which he couldn't stand either!

"How's the fighting on your side?" Gu Fei asked as they walked.

"Who knows? What can we see on our side!" Yan Xiaozhu said. Spectators are absolutely at a disadvantage in Mistywind City. After twenty or thirty meters, they can't see anything. It's said that recently, players from Mistywind City and Shadehaven City are jointly protesting to the game developers, believing that the settings of these two cities are too strange and greatly affect players' leveling lives. The fewest players in the top rankings on the game's experience leaderboard are from these two cities. But although the overall proportion is small, both cities are also home to high-end players. Shadehaven City once had Waterdeep, and Mistywind City now has Gui Tong, both of whom are in the Five Strongest tier. And in terms of overall level, according to official statistics, the main city with the lowest average level is neither Mistywind City nor Shadehaven City, but Moonlit City. Of course, everyone knows the reason, so recently there's been a lot of arguing about this on the official forum!

As the three walked, Gu Fei explained what he hoped Gui Tong would do. The more Gui Tong listened, the slower his pace became, and finally he simply stopped. "Underwater?"

"Yeah!" Gu Fei finally showed a little humanity and asked, "Can you swim?"

"No! You should have asked earlier!" Gui Tong felt he couldn't complete this task.

"Actually, that's not the key. I can't either, but I've been there. Look..." Gu Fei taught him his diving technique, but it was obviously not convincing. Gui Tong's expression was very resistant.

"It's just a game, it's not difficult. Even if you drown in the end... well, you don't lose a level during the city war, and you're not registered here. That's right, you can just teleport back to Mistywind City! Yeah, I think that's good. Don't come up in the end, just drown and teleport back, saving a teleport scroll. Xiaozhu, can you swim? If not, go down together," Gu Fei said sincerely. In theory, third-party players shouldn't enjoy the no-level-loss treatment, but the system this time was either being very generous or too lazy to set it up in detail, so third-party players also benefited. After discovering this, the third-party players leveling up today were extremely arrogant, fighting monsters, snatching territory, and PK-ing, all without fear of death, since their lives were worthless!

"You're inhumane!" Even so, Yan Xiaozhu still protested Gu Fei's suggestion of drowning directly.

Gui Tong was also quite angry, but since he was already here, he had to say, "Let's go take a look first!"

As the three were walking and chatting, the system NPCs of course didn't pay attention, but the guild players on the opposite side were staring intently. What was going on? They had tried so hard to get into the city gate, but these people were coming and going so freely. Who were these people?

Gui Tong felt the atmosphere was strange at this time. "Since you're on the defending side, then those..." She pointed to the guild troops opposite, "Those are all enemies!"

"Yes," Gu Fei said.

"Isn't this too arrogant?" Gui Tong said.

"It is arrogant, but they don't dare to come over," Gu Fei said.

"Why?"

"See all the stones on the ground? They'll get hit if they come over. Isn't it like this in your Mistywind City?" Gu Fei asked.

"If Mistywind City was like this, no one would attack the city," Gui Tong said. That was the truth. If you only saw such a big stone flying towards you right before it hit, what could you dodge? You'd just die.

"Let's do this first, then sneak through the chaotic crowd over there," Gu Fei said, "Don't fight the NPCs, and don't buff other players."

"Got it, neither of them knows how to buff," Yan Xiaozhu said impatiently.

"I heard that handing out bread and water isn't allowed either," Gu Fei said seriously. This was something Gu Fei made up, hoping the two would take his words seriously. Because he had crossed that chaotic crowd many times and had almost been provoked by the passionate fighting to rebel with the players. You Ge was also like this; otherwise, would he have learned his lesson and died five times? It was really the environment that influenced the individual. That atmosphere made you feel like you wanted to rush up and start a massacre.

Once they entered the battlefield, Gu Fei realized the difference between women and men. Yan Xiaozhu, who was usually quite lively, now had a very indifferent look in her eyes. A player next to her shouted, "Beauty, over here, give him a stab!"

"Beauty, here, Whirlwind Intercept!"

Neither of them even looked and walked on their way. On the other hand, Gu Fei was immersed in the intense murderous intent and almost couldn't control himself.

"This is too much suffering," Gu Fei thought painfully. This was a huge temptation for him, and he had to mobilize all his inner and outer cultivation to calm his mind and nurture his energy to restrain himself.

Gu Fei had already sent a message to Jian Gui after picking up the others. In fact, this task had nothing to do with Jian Gui, but Jian Gui also wanted to see what was going on and immediately rushed back to Cloudrise Lakeside, arriving even before them.

The local customs and culture of Cloudrise Lakeside had to be introduced. Gu Fei had just said, "Be careful not to step on people," when the two girls asked in confusion, "What people?"

Gu Fei was a practical type, so he immediately threw a spell, and a bunch of people jumped up and cursed again. But when they saw that they were two beautiful girls, they were momentarily at a loss. Everyone always felt that girls wouldn't do such bad things. Of course, the bad deed was indeed not done by the two girls; the culprit was squatting next to them!

"Who the hell is it? Doing it again and again, looking for death?" A few people who couldn't take it anymore cursed for a long time before stopping.

"You're too bad..." Yan Xiaozhu said to Gu Fei.

"I just want to speak with facts. If I describe it verbally, can you experience it so vividly?" Gu Fei spread his hands.

When they arrived at the place, Jian Gui was already waiting. Everyone had met in Mistywind City before, so they casually exchanged a few greetings.

"I didn't remember the location wrong, right?" Jian Gui said.

"That's right," Gu Fei took out the torn paper and checked it again, then looked around. "Find a piece of wood!"

"Wait a minute, I said I'd come take a look, I haven't said I'd agree yet!" Gui Tong said.

"Then take a look," Gu Fei said.

Yan Xiaozhu walked a few steps towards the lake and kicked the muddy shore with her foot, looking like she was about to vomit. "Sis, it's so dirty, do you really want to go into this water?"

"You're making it dirtier by touching it. This kid is naughty!" Gu Fei criticized Yan Xiaozhu.

"You're really unkind, asking people to help with such a thing," Yan Xiaozhu said.

"There's no choice! Drifting said that you're the only one who knows this kind of spell. Or can you recommend someone else? Who else knows it?" Gu Fei said.

"Drifting recommended it?" Yan Xiaozhu's eyes lit up. "Sis, help him out!"

"Are you kidding me? You change your face so quickly? Does Drifting have such a big influence? Do you like him? That kid isn't a good person either. He almost killed me in your city," Gu Fei said.

"Why don't you go die then?" Yan Xiaozhu shouted.

"Is anyone going to control this kid? She's lost her mind!" Gu Fei shouted.

Yan Xiaozhu was angry, but after Gui Tong called her, she immediately calmed down, only glaring at Gu Fei a few more times.

"How deep is the water over there?" Gui Tong asked.

"Three or four meters, I think?" Gu Fei asked Jian Gui.

"Four or five meters, I think," Jian Gui said.

"Three, four, or five meters," Gu Fei said to Gui Tong.

"You're too unreliable!" Gui Tong couldn't help but say.

"If you really need to know the exact answer, I'll measure it properly for you," Gu Fei said.

Gui Tong was silent for a moment. "I have one more question."

"What?"

"How do you chant underwater?" Gui Tong asked.

"Ah... how do you chant? How do you chant?" Gu Fei asked Jian Gui.

"How would I know? Who's the mage?" Jian Gui said.

"You know my mage skills very well!" Gu Fei said, embarrassed.

Gui Tong was really helpless and hardened her heart. "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself!"

"Agreed? Great, Jian Gui, quickly find a piece of wood!" Gu Fei said, and while speaking, he took out a rope from his pocket and gave Gui Tong one. "Tie this around your waist. Don't we both not know how to swim? We'll have them pull us up later. Jian Gui, find some more people to help."

"Then what do we need the wood for?" Gui Tong asked.

"To hold on to while floating over there. Don't you also not know how to swim?" Gu Fei said.

"I can just fly over," Gui Tong said.

"Fly? Oh... you can fly!" Gu Fei suddenly remembered that Gui Tong knew some kind of "Flight" spell. Back in Mistywind City, when they were climbing the walls, Gui Tong had flown up there gracefully.

"Then I'll still find some wood. My Instant Move doesn't have that kind of range," Gu Fei sighed. Jian Gui had already picked up a piece of rotten wood for him and also called out to the surrounding area. The same group of brothers were still there and were still so enthusiastic. As soon as they heard they were going to do it again, they hurriedly gathered around.

"Let's go!" Gu Fei pushed the wood into the water, paddling while holding it. He looked back and saw Gui Tong still standing on the shore, so he quickly called out.

"You go first. I'll fly after you get there. I can't stay in the air for too long waiting for you," Gui Tong said.

"I can't stop in the water and wait for you either. See if you can keep up with my speed," Gu Fei asked.

"Then I'll go a little later," Gui Tong said.

So, when Gu Fei had floated half the distance with the wood, Gui Tong waved her staff, and everyone felt as if a small whirlwind had passed by. Gui Tong had slowly floated into the air, flying in the direction Gu Fei was heading.

"Wow!!!" The players were surprised. They had never seen this spell before.

Yan Xiaozhu was also quite proud, holding the rope tied around Gui Tong's waist, and turned around to say, "It's like flying a kite."

Gu Fei looked up and felt quite depressed. It was so dashing to fly in the air. Look at him, paddling stupidly here. Today's task was really not dignified at all. Hacking people was more comfortable.

In this moment, Gu Fei was almost at the point. This little bit of distance didn't matter. Gu Fei looked up and saw Gui Tong also looking at him from above, so he called out, "Almost there! Get ready."

A trace of nervousness flashed across Gui Tong's face, which was the fear brought by the unknown.

"Don't be afraid, just grab me after you fall," Gu Fei said.

Gui Tong didn't say anything.

"Are you ready? Take a deep breath."

Gui Tong closed her eyes.

"Too far!"

"Here it comes!" Gui Tong shouted, and suddenly she fell from mid-air. Gu Fei quickly pulled out a heavy object from his pocket, and even holding the wood, he sank down with it. Gui Tong fell next to him with a splash, and Gu Fei grabbed her, let go of the wood, and the two quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

Gu Fei had experience and opened his eyes as soon as he went underwater. He looked around and saw that Gui Tong's eyes were still tightly closed, and her expression was very stiff.

Soon they reached the bottom of the water. Gu Fei reached out and shook Gui Tong's head, which was the agreed-upon signal. Gui Tong's expression remained stiff, but her eyes began to open cautiously, but as soon as she opened them, she closed them again. Gu Fei knew the feeling and shook her head again, signaling that she was okay. At the same time, he was dragging her towards the front of the Water Barrier.

Gui Tong was holding her breath and knew that she couldn't last too long underwater, so she finally took a deep breath and opened her eyes. Stinging! But this feeling was exactly as Gu Fei had described, which put her at ease. She looked at Gu Fei beside her, who was pointing to something in front of her. Gui Tong reached out and touched the Water Barrier. Gu Fei nodded vigorously, signaling that it was this.

Gui Tong took a slight step back, took out her staff with her right hand, pointed it at the Water Barrier, and covered her mouth with her left hand, preparing to chant. But as soon as she opened her mouth, bubbles immediately came out from between her fingers. Obviously, water immediately entered her mouth, so of course she couldn't make a sound, and the spell couldn't be cast. Gu Fei couldn't care about anything else and quickly reached out to help her press her mouth shut. Gu Fei didn't know if he had pressed it shut or not, but he tried his best. Gui Tong struggled twice, and Gu Fei received a message: "Lighten up, I can't even open my mouth!!"

Gu Fei quickly lightened his strength, and Gui Tong took the opportunity to complete the chant. The staff pointed, and a blue light appeared. Several rays of light meandered and climbed on the Water Barrier, and where they passed, frost condensed, and instantly a layer of thin ice formed.

Before Gu Fei could be happy, he realized that the Water Barrier became so brittle after freezing. Without anyone needing to destroy it, the water pressure at the bottom of the lake directly shattered it. Gu Fei and Gui Tong both felt an extremely strong suction force coming from the hole. After the barrier disappeared, the lake water was rapidly flowing into it, and the two of them were about to be swept in.

"Pull!!!" Gu Fei quickly sent a message.

"Miscalculated!!!" Jian Gui replied quickly. It turned out that at the moment the barrier was destroyed, an extremely strong pulling force suddenly came from the rope. The players on the shore were just casually holding one end of a rope in their hands and hadn't prepared to exert force at all. Such a sudden force caught no one by surprise. With a whoosh, several people let go. The people holding the front end of the rope reacted and grabbed on tightly, but with just the two of them, they couldn't compete with this suction force at all. They were directly dragged into the water with the rope. At this time, neither of them dared to hold on to the rope. They let go one after another. One of them knew how to swim and swam up, but the other didn't and splashed around in the water, shouting for help. The shore was in chaos.

Gu Fei reacted quickly and waved his hand to grab the rocks at the entrance of the hole, but his little strength was too weak. This grab was just a formality. In the next step, he had already let go, and he was swept into the hole by the water. Gui Tong didn't even have time to react and went straight in. Gu Fei grabbed her hand at the last moment, which prevented the two from being separated, but grabbing Gui Tong made him be swept in even faster.

"Teleport scroll!" Gu Fei thought, quickly reaching into his pocket. Dying without losing a level and returning to Mistywind City were just Gu Fei's jokes. He was definitely not such an irresponsible person. Dying without losing a level was a different matter from helping Gui Tong get out of trouble at this time.

He took out the teleport scroll and used it immediately. The scroll didn't lose its effectiveness underwater and immediately created a teleportation array.

"Damn it!!!" Gu Fei cursed and took a gulp of water. The teleportation array was out, but the two of them were no longer within the teleportation range. The water had taken the two of them away, but the teleportation array was still rotating in place!

Gu Fei's head was dizzy from being hit by the water. Gui Tong was probably not in a good state either. The raging river was full of tumbling waves, and Gu Fei only knew that he was still holding onto her, but he couldn't see clearly.

Gu Fei struggled to look forward, but he didn't know what was ahead in the darkness. But an idea came to him. He let go of Gui Tong and pointed forward: "Instant Move!!"
