Chapter 29 A Drifting Idea

Gu Fei quickly relayed the drifting idea to Jian Gui, who also poked his head out, looking around, searching: "Really? Is there such a spot?" After all, Jian Gui's profession required close-quarters combat; he didn't have a deep understanding of this kind of long-range hidden ambush tactic.

"I think it's a stalemate right now, it won't hurt to try any idea," Gu Fei said.

"Okay, you call the people!" Jian Gui said.

"How many people can that spot hold?" Gu Fei asked.

"If you squeeze, six people, no problem," Piao Liu said.

"Only that many?" Gu Fei was quite surprised; he thought it could hold dozens of people. Rooftop space was usually quite large.

"Six people can stand in excellent positions. Any more, they'd either need to be closer, exposing themselves; or further back, obstructing their view, unable to attack," Piao Liu explained.

"Okay, give me the coordinates, I'll bring people right away," Gu Fei said.

"Remember to set up an ambush at the Mage Academy," Piao Liu said.

"Why?" Gu Fei also remembered that Piao Liu had specifically mentioned the Mage Academy ambush before; there didn't seem to be any reason.

"Because the area attacked from this position will be exactly their mage team. A large number of mages will be sent to the Mage Academy. Why don't we seize this opportunity?" Piao Liu said.

"Oh, I understand!" Gu Fei sent a message to Piao Liu while telling Jian Gui to arrange the ambush at the Mage Academy, and he began to gather mage manpower. Of course, those with high spell damage were prioritized. Besides him and Piao Liu, Gui Tong, as one of the Five Little Strong Ones, was naturally not bad. Huo Ran Yi was a former Top Ten Mage, with equipment as a foundation, and now that his level had returned, he was considered a strong player. Then there was Yun Xiang, although not as prominent as those characters, he was definitely not a Waterball. Waterball also wanted to come, but Gu Fei gave him an enthusiastic participation card, throwing him directly onto the substitute list. Gu Fei was too clear about Waterball's capabilities. Now was an important moment, so it was better to strive for excellence.

With five people, there was still one missing. The girls from Rebirth Purple Crystal were certainly not strong, so the last mage spot had to be selected from the newly joined players. After the mages reported their spell damage, it was clear at a glance, but the name of the player with the highest damage made everyone lack confidence. This mage's name was actually "Worthless."

"Let's go with him! I'm curious, to dare to call himself such an ID, he must have something extraordinary about him, right?" Gu Fei said in the Stealing People Group's team channel.

"You're wrong to think that way. Judging people by their ID is just as undesirable as judging people by their appearance. Online game IDs are generally just for fun, sound good, look good, or are easy to remember. Most have no inner meaning, like Yu Tian Shen Ming. Can you explain the meaning of that name?" Piao Liu said.

"I swear you're dead!!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming roared.

"Okay, everyone welcome Worthless Mage to the team," Gu Fei said. The mage with the ID Worthless had already joined the team, very politely, saying "Hello everyone" as he entered, leaving a good first impression on everyone.

Then Piao Liu reported the coordinates and the route to get there. Everyone detoured separately, naturally passing through Yu Tian Shen Ming's ambush location. This guy was gnashing his teeth, constantly cursing Piao Liu's back in front of him.

"Has everyone arrived?" Gu Fei was nearby and didn't need to travel too far, so he continued to deal with the Caiyun Jie team, which could be considered drawing their attention. The team commanded by Han Jia Gongzi was indeed different. If it were an ordinary team of two or three hundred people, Gu Fei felt that with a combination of stealth, harassment, and ambushes, he could always steal a few people. But with Han Jia Gongzi's command, the other team advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and more importantly, they were very patient, not greedy for merit, first ensuring the safety of their own lives, obviously knowing the key to this battle of attrition.

"Yes, everyone's here," Piao Liu replied to the message. Their five mages were all in position.

"Do I still need to come up?" Gu Fei asked. He felt that the firepower of these five people was already very strong, after all, they were not at the level of casual players like Waterball.

"For safety, come anyway!" Piao Liu suggested.

"Okay, I'll be right there." Gu Fei was still going back and forth with Caiyun Jie. At this moment, he withdrew and turned a corner, heading towards the coordinates Piao Liu pointed out. Gu Fei not only ran faster than those mages, but he could also instantly teleport to places ordinary people couldn't reach. In less than two minutes, he arrived at the designated location.

Piao Liu, Gui Tong, Yun Xiang, and Huo Ran Yi were all acquaintances. Gu Fei saw the mage who dared to call himself "Worthless" at a glance. Worthless was exceptionally excited after Gu Fei came over and stood with them.

"Hello," Gu Fei said, greeting him for the first time.

"Too cool," Worthless said excitedly. "I'm actually with the top three mages in Parallel World. Why, why can't this game take pictures?"

"Hehe..." The three great mages chuckled.

"Ahem, now that everyone's here, let's start. If we delay too long, they might become suspicious. Is the arrangement at the respawn point ready?" Piao Liu asked.

"No problem." Jian Gui was efficient, of course. Jian Nan You had already led a team to surround the Mage Academy.

"Then get ready. Twelve o'clock direction, five stars overlapping, center of a thousand li, I'm the apex, Gui Tong upper left corner, Yun Xiang upper right corner, Huo Ran Yi bottom left corner, Worthless bottom right corner, no problem?"

"No problem," the four answered.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Fei asked.

The five looked sideways. Piao Liu couldn't help but open his mouth and despise, "You call yourself a mage?"

"Sorry, I don't think I've ever cooperated with mages like this before," Gu Fei said.

"Twelve o'clock direction, understand?"

"Understand," Gu Fei nodded quickly.

"Okay, just attack in that direction. Do you know the spell radius of Heavenly Fire Wheel and Fiery Tree Thousand Flame?" Piao Liu asked.

"Uh, did you guys measure it?" Gu Fei asked.

"..."

"That guy, the one wearing the blue magic hat, see him?" Piao Liu began pointing.

"I see him."

"Okay, use him as the spell center and drop a range spell," Piao Liu said.

"Then what about the five stars and apexes or something?" Gu Fei asked.

"I'll give you a lesson after we're done. Let's do it first. I'll count one, two, three. Qian Li, cast on one, we'll cast on two, three," Piao Liu said.

"Why?" Worthless was a little confused.

"You'll know soon," Piao Liu said to him.

Gu Fei was depressed, but he had to obey. So Piao Liu started counting one, two, three. After one, Gu Fei chanted the spell. Piao Liu controlled the timing of two and three. This guy, who was in fact the strongest mage in Parallel World, had already calculated how much slower Gu Fei's spell was. The count of two and three was just right, and then the five chanted together. Although their chanting speed was not completely consistent due to differences in equipment or stat allocation, it was not as great as Gu Fei's, which could be counted.

It was the first time Gu Fei had formed a magic array with mages. Although he chanted first, the six spells finally converged together. Six Heavenly Fire Wheels appeared in the sky. Gu Fei immediately understood what was meant by five stars overlapping. It turned out that the spell centers of the five were all located on the circumference of Gu Fei's spell, and the connection of the five circle centers was a perfect pentagram. With Gu Fei's keen eyesight, he could instantly see how standard the pentagram formed by the connection of the five mages' spell centers was. It was evident that these five were not mediocre. If he had really brought Waterball, he might have ruined things.

Six Heavenly Fire Wheels fell, and there was an uproar in Caiyun Jie's formation. This ambush came suddenly, without warning. Everyone could only dodge as much as possible, while priests urgently tried to rescue them. After the six released Heavenly Fire Wheel, Fiery Tree Thousand Flame followed, chanting in the same rhythm. Gu Fei had chanted Heavenly Fire Wheel earlier, so he just needed to continue that rhythm.

Fiery Trees rose from the ground, drawing a neat burning pattern. The distribution of these five mages' spells from this pentagonal position also directly reflected who was stronger. Piao Liu and Gui Tong cooperated with Gu Fei to completely wipe out the area they covered. Huo Ran Yi was slightly inferior, and Yun Xiang and Worthless were obviously a level below. Especially Yun Xiang, who was even worse than Worthless. The most players survived in his area. Yun Xiang was very embarrassed, feeling that he had failed the organization's trust in him.

But this wipeout did not achieve the desired effect. Some people still survived, clearly because the overlap of the pentagon was still a bit loose. Gu Fei was about to speak when he saw Piao Liu continuing to wave his staff, chanting loudly: "Double Lotus Azure Fire."

"Wow, a new move?" Gu Fei exclaimed. He saw flames rolling in the direction Piao Liu pointed, resembling his Falling Clothes Red Lotus, but this time it was no longer blooming with himself as the center, and two bloomed at once. The range was completely larger than Heavenly Fire Wheel and larger than Fiery Tree Thousand Flame.

"Frostfall." "Beacon Fire Cities." Immediately after, Gui Tong and Huo Ran Yi also released their ultimate moves. Frostfall was also a surging range spell, while Beacon Fire Cities cut off a bunch of players' retreat routes, blocking them within the sea of fire.

Yun Xiang and Worthless looked at each other, feeling very lonely. They didn't have such unique ultimate moves. At this time, they could only each throw a Chain Fireball to make themselves seem not so idle. At the same time, they saw Gu Fei also standing aside without any moves, feeling greatly comforted. See, it's not just the two of us. The number one mage in Parallel World is also lonely at this time.

Who knew that as soon as the two had this thought, they saw Gu Fei also waving his sword, shouting, "Electric Current Wall," another barrier facing Huo Ran Yi's Beacon Fire Cities from afar. Caiyun Jie players had no way out left or right. Yun Xiang and Worthless burst into tears. Masters are indeed masters. We're still not good enough!

Huo Ran Yi's skill had now recovered to its original strength. Beacon Fire Cities was released one after another, and the Electric Current Wall directly formed a three-sided wall. His Fiery Tree Thousand Flame had an extremely short cooldown, and at this time he could release it again, throwing it out again where it had just burned out.

Caiyun Jie players were blocked on three sides. Those with weak lives had already died, and those who hadn't were all supported by the priests' healing. At this time, there was only one way out left, and they rushed together in this direction. This direction was directly facing Gu Fei and the others. It looked like they were running towards them, but the problem was that they would be out of the six people's line of sight if they ran any closer, and they couldn't be attacked anymore.

Yun Xiang and Worthless had no ability left, and they were all hoping that one of the four great gods would come up with another ultimate move to completely surround the opponent.

The ultimate move came. Gu Fei rushed out of the ambush, took a few steps, and shouted "Instant Movement," throwing himself directly out.

Piao Liu and the others ignored Gu Fei's actions and continued to release spells seriously. Yun Xiang and Worthless were envious while trying to prove their existence.

Gu Fei landed with Instant Movement. Several players happened to rush out of the three-sided wall, thinking they were saved, but who knew they would encounter the most powerful damage among mages: Gu Fei's Double Flame Flash combo.

Two circles of fire passed, and several people died cleanly. Those who rushed out behind were all finished off by Gu Fei. These people were all low on health, and Gu Fei's Double Flame Flash was enough to kill them.

"Left! Right!" Han Jia Gongzi was still not flustered at this time, calmly directing the surviving players to set up a pocket formation again to trap Gu Fei. At the same time, the archers were already working, releasing arrows in the direction Han Jia Gongzi indicated. The arrows flew in an arc, with some of the style of the Across the Four Seas Arrow Formation. After all, Caiyun Jie had a lot of contact with Across the Four Seas players. They often played around with this signature move and learned it quite well. At this time, following Han Jia Gongzi's direction, the arrows passed in an arc. Although the damage of this shooting method was weakened, it was enough to interrupt spells.

But at this time, the people Caiyun Jie should have killed had already been killed. Piao Liu's planned magic ambush tactic had been a great success. It was just that Gu Fei, in order to maximize efficiency, had thrown himself out, and was now surrounded and unable to break out.

A black figure killed out!

Jian Gui was not just watching the scenery. He was constantly looking for opportunities to attack. Seeing Gu Fei trapped and unable to escape, he immediately approached, aiming for a slightly weaker point in the encirclement and using Mist Shadow Raid.

The first target was killed instantly, and then the other targets staggered. Gu Fei's reaction was also extremely fast. He immediately stepped forward, and the fire from Double Flame Flash rolled up. Those who had been seriously injured by Jian Gui were easily finished off by Gu Fei. Even the fastest priest could not be faster than Gu Fei's skill.

Jian Gui broke out in a cold sweat. Gu Fei's movements were too fast. He stepped up and struck with his sword. The light of the fire was so bright that it seemed like he was going to kill himself. But as the flames from the tip of the sword brushed past his nose, Jian Gui knew how precise Gu Fei's attack had become. It was estimated to be close to the level of cutting down flies on the tip of his nose.

"Retreat quickly." Jian Gui turned to flash, but this time, in order to save Gu Fei, he had rushed in too deep. The gap he had torn open had already closed, and a group of thick-skinned warriors were ready to come up and crush the two to death.

"You flash." Jian Gui suddenly held out his hands, signaling Gu Fei to step on them.

"I'm going to help Xiao Yao Wu." Jian Gui smiled.

"Hehe." Gu Fei smiled and didn't fail Jian Gui's kindness. He stepped on Jian Gui's hands. Jian Gui used his strength to lift him up, and Gu Fei stretched his legs and stepped on the wall, stepping onto the roof in one step. Below, Jian Gui was instantly submerged by the sea of people. Could the Caiyun Jie players who had been killed in large numbers be in a good mood? Jian Gui struggled to support himself a few times, but ultimately could not continue and was sent to the Thieves Guild.

Arrows flew behind Gu Fei. Gu Fei scrambled all the way back to the ambush, rolled over, and jumped in. The five people next to him kept clicking their tongues.

"With that wave just now, we wiped out at least forty people from the other side, about thirty of whom were mages. Quite a success," Gui Tong said.

"Uh, but it seems like there's no chance for another one," Piao Liu said, looking up at the sky. Arrows were flying and falling. None of the six had a chance to lean out again.

"Change places?" Gu Fei asked.

"There doesn't seem to be such a beautiful cover nearby," Piao Liu said.

"I think we can transfer strong defense people over now to provide frontal cover. As long as they help us block the opponent's archer attacks, we are map weapons and can directly advance on the frontal street," Yun Xiang suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea," Piao Liu agreed.

"Wait for the Mage Academy to end!" Gu Fei said. Now some people had been transferred there to do the kill-farming work.

"How are you doing?" Gu Fei messaged Jian Gui at this time.

"Xiao Yao Wu is too stingy, she won't give me one," Jian Gui said dejectedly.

"Snatch it, why be polite with her," Gu Fei said.

"She'll kill me too, right?" Jian Gui asked.

"Uh, it's not impossible..."

"Not good, something's wrong at the Mage Academy!!" Jian Gui suddenly said.

"What?" Gu Fei asked quickly.

"Self-destruction, those guys are playing self-destruction!!" Jian Gui said.

Self-destruction! Gu Fei finally understood this mage-specific term. Casting a range spell together with oneself in Parallel World was called self-destruction. Gu Fei also used this ultimate move often, and his instant-kill damage made it especially terrifying.

The Mage Academy concentrated the main forces of Rebirth Purple Crystal and Exceptionally Heaven-defying, and the other side's large number of mages had also been sent there. However, the respawn point was completely random. With more than thirty people, Jian Nan You could not predict where each mage would appear, but reminded everyone to attack as soon as there was a white light.

Some people were shrouded in spells as soon as the white light appeared, but there were always some who weren't so quick. These resurrected mages released spells on the spot without saying a word, including themselves and those around them, friend or foe, all within the range of the spell.

This was something no one had expected. More than thirty mages, concentrated in one area, began to self-destruct together. Spells overlapped unconsciously, covering a wide area and impossible to defend against. Jian Nan You realized something was wrong and quickly organized the team to withdraw from the Mage Academy first, not to force the opponent so hard. At the same time, he secretly cursed himself for being too radical. In fact, it would have been foolproof to station archers outside the academy gate to ambush the mages, but Jian Nan You wanted everyone to participate in the ambush, but he didn't expect it to backfire. The opponent actually used self-destruction.

And the shortcomings of the miscellaneous army were revealed at this time. Faced with unexpected and sudden changes, everyone reacted according to their instincts. No one realized that they should listen to commands, and many even forgot who they should listen to.

The Mage Academy was in chaos. The Caiyun Jie mages seemed to be able to die 250 times, each of them brave and fearless, chasing after the Rebirth Purple Crystal and Exceptionally Heaven-defying players and self-destructing.
