Hu Die Lan
Chapter 189 Instantaneous Movement
Waist Dancer pouted, disgruntled, and said, "It's all because of this crummy game company. They don't explain anything clearly. I thought I could use skill scrolls to create a unique skill tree, but who knew that after I bought this Teleport, they told me I needed lightning-based mana to use it?" In the players' eyes, game operators could never do anything right.
Gu Fei nodded and asked, "So how many scrolls did you buy?"
"Wasn't it enough to get tricked into buying one? How many more do you want me to buy?" Waist Dancer tapped Gu Fei.
"You only bought one, and it just so happened to be Teleport. I think you're my lucky star, aren't you?" As Gu Fei spoke, he clapped his hands on the scroll. A stream of light appeared between his fingers and then seeped into his body. The system chimed in, granting him new mana. Just like that, Gu Fei learned the Instantaneous Movement skill.
"You used it?" This time, Waist Dancer was dumbfounded.
"Yeah!" Gu Fei responded, opening the skill tree to look at the description: Use powerful mana to distort space, allowing the caster to instantly appear in the location they desire...
Killer intent! Just then, Gu Fei suddenly startled, feeling a sharp killing intent close by. He turned his head and saw Waist Dancer glaring at him fiercely, looking as if she wanted to strangle him to death.
"What's wrong?" Gu Fei quickly asked.
"Who told you to use it? Who told you to use it?" Waist Dancer shouted.
"Then why did you give it to me?" Gu Fei was taken aback.
"I just wanted to show it to you!" Waist Dancer said.
"It's useless if you keep it," Gu Fei said.
"To sell! It's money," Waist Dancer yelled.
"Wouldn't it be over if you sold it to me?" Gu Fei said.
Waist Dancer immediately reached out her hand. "Two thousand gold coins."
"That's so expensive..." Gu Fei stuck out his tongue.
"I bought it for 1800 gold coins, I'm only making 200 gold coins off you." Waist Dancer's business was extremely transparent.
Gu Fei didn't mind it. He simply nodded and reached into his pocket. He quickly pulled out a money bag, casually counted a few coins, and handed them to Waist Dancer.
Such smoothness surprised Waist Dancer. As she took it, she muttered, "I can't tell, you're a rich person too?"
As a result, Gu Fei smiled and said, "That's 200 gold coins, let you earn a profit first. As for your cost, I have to pay in installments, I don't have that much money."
Waist Dancer looked at the money bag and counted, sure enough, there were only 200 gold coins. She gritted her teeth and could only accept it first. As for whether Gu Fei would pay the remaining 1800 gold coins, it would depend on Gu Fei's character.
"I'm going to suddenly appear in their formation now, catching them off guard. Give me some cover." Gu Fei adjusted his equipment. At this time, the arrow rain of the Traversing Four Seas arrow formation was still sparsely falling, but it wasn't much of a threat to these two agile experts. Waist Dancer had eaten bread and was full of life. The two of them suddenly jumped out of the ditch again.
"Instantaneous Movement, move!" Gu Fei began to chant as soon as he stood firm after jumping out of the ditch. Although it wasn't an attack-type spell, the method of using it was exactly the same. Gu Fei's finger was pointing to the location he wanted to move to: the very center of the Traversing Four Seas arrow formation.
At this time, Waist Dancer flashed in front of Gu Fei, using her body and daggers to block the incoming attacks.
Gu Fei successfully chanted, and the space he was in suddenly twisted. If the stealth and disappearance used by thieves made people slowly blur and become transparent, then teleportation was a very violent tearing apart of a person in an instant. To others, Gu Fei looked like a piece of glass that shattered instantly.
At the same time, the space at another location underwent the same distortion. Compared to the scene of Gu Fei disappearing, this was like a reverse playback. The space suddenly twisted into pieces, and then the pieces reassembled. A lively Gu Fei reappeared before everyone's eyes.
Instantaneous Movement lived up to its name as instantaneous. It was so instantaneous that Gu Fei didn't notice it at all. The main thing was that the scenery changed suddenly. He looked back in surprise, and Waist Dancer's cover work wasn't even finished yet.
However, what was even more deadly was that Gu Fei's teleportation didn't reach the location he was pointing to.
Gu Fei only moved from behind Waist Dancer to a place five meters in front of her. This distance was far from the location Gu Fei was pointing to!
"What are you doing moving there?" Waist Dancer was exasperated.
"I don't know!" Gu Fei was also at a loss. He was sure that his finger couldn't be wrong, so why did the location only change so little?
The Instantaneous Movement skill description didn't mention how much the specific movement distance was, only that the distance moved would be proportional to the mana consumed. Gu Fei checked his mana at this time. He had only used a tiny bit, so it was obviously not because of insufficient mana that he failed to complete the teleportation.
Before he could figure this out, the opponent's second wave of attacks had already arrived. The target of this attack was locked on Gu Fei, who was closer to them.
Gu Fei's sudden approach of those five meters had a very serious impact. It was these five meters that allowed him to enter the range of the "Tracking Arrows" of the archers in the front half of the opponent's arrow formation.
Pouring Wine While Leaning always commanded the arrow formation to shoot while moving towards the ditch, just wanting to bring the ditch into the attack range of the "Tracking Arrows." That way, when the opponent showed their head again, they could be eliminated with certainty. At this time, Gu Fei suddenly took the initiative to enter this attack range. The archers, who were already prepared, immediately used "Tracking Arrows" without hesitation.
Dozens of arrows flashed with white light. After the bowstrings sounded, they rushed towards Gu Fei like dozens of meteors.
There was no such thing as dodging Tracking Arrows. Although Gu Fei's skills allowed him to knock down a few, it was impossible for him to knock down these dozens. Waist Dancer, who originally wanted to step forward to cover Gu Fei, saw this scene and knew that even a god would have difficulty saving Gu Fei this time. She sighed and very nimbly flashed back into the ditch first.
Gu Fei was also helpless. He tried his best to get closer and cast a spell, but he still failed. Dozens of Tracking Arrows pierced Gu Fei, and he was taken down without any suspense.
Just as he was sent outside the guild hall, Yu Tian Shen Ming's message chased after him: "Were you using Instantaneous Movement just now?" Yu Tian Shen Ming was a member of the Traversing Four Seas arrow formation, and also one of the culprits who shot Tracking Arrows at Gu Fei just now. He saw everything that happened in the battle clearly.
"Yeah," Gu Fei replied.
"Where did you get the scroll?" Yu Tian Shen Ming asked.
"Bought it from Waist Dancer," Gu Fei said.
"How much did it cost?"
"2000 gold coins."
"You're really rich!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming exclaimed.
"Installment payments... so far, I've only paid 200 gold coins," Gu Fei said.
"Waist Dancer is so rich, and you two have such a good relationship, why would she need any money!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"We're just ordinary friends. Besides, having money isn't a reason to give things to others for no reason," Gu Fei educated Yu Tian Shen Ming.
"Tsk..." Yu Tian Shen Ming dismissed it.
"How's Waist Dancer?" Gu Fei was busy being shot to death at the time, and he couldn't see Waist Dancer's situation behind him before he died.
"She nimbly hid back in the ditch again," Yu Tian Shen Ming said.
"Hurry up and finish the fight. After you're done, come and study this Instantaneous Movement with me," Gu Fei said.
Gu Fei was accidentally defeated this time. Not to mention dealing with the Traversing Four Seas arrow formation alone, Waist Dancer was powerless against even a small team of twenty or thirty people.
The ending was no longer in suspense. The Rebirth Amethyst girls scattered on the map were found and killed by their opponents one by one. The Traversing Four Seas guild easily won this round. Rebirth Amethyst was finally unable to continue cheating. With their strength, being able to get to this round had to be said to be very lucky.
The girls were well aware of this, and most of them weren't very interested in this kind of PK competition. At this time, most of the girls were not very disappointed when they were eliminated. After everyone casually said a few words outside the teleportation array, they happily went to do their own things.
Waist Dancer was very busy in the competition, but now that the guild competition was eliminated and the mercenary competition was also eliminated, she suddenly had nothing to do. She was the only girl with some disappointment.
As for Gu Fei, of course he was also disappointed to lose such a reasonable opportunity to kill people. The two of them rarely lamented together for a while, until Yu Tian Shen Ming emerged from the large formation of more than 700 people in Traversing Four Seas and found the two of them at the base of the wall.
As soon as he saw the beautiful woman, Yu Tian Shen Ming temporarily abandoned his enthusiasm for discussing magic with Gu Fei. He greeted Waist Dancer with a beaming face, seemingly not seeing Gu Fei at all.
Unfortunately, Waist Dancer wasn't in a good mood at this time, and Yu Tian Shen Ming was from the opposing camp just now. Since he was an archer, he was naturally a member of that very annoying arrow formation. Waist Dancer wasn't very nice to him. After casually greeting him, she walked away singing a sad song.
"Ah, her voice is so nice..." Yu Tian Shen Ming watched with eyes full of infatuation.
"Grapes," Gu Fei called.
"Ah!" Yu Tian Shen Ming quickly and earnestly turned around. But when he looked around, there was no sign of grapes at all.
Gu Fei couldn't help but sigh. This Yu Tian Shen Ming was a typical guy who looked at what was in his bowl while thinking about what was in the pot. Compared to Ying Zuo Yue Zi's messy "A tree that stands out in the forest" theory, he seemed to be the pervert.
When Yu Tian Shen Ming saw that there were no grapes, he knew that he had been tricked by Gu Fei. He was a little embarrassed, so he quickly took the initiative to talk to Gu Fei about the teleportation spell.
After listening to Gu Fei's explanation, Yu Tian Shen Ming carefully asked Gu Fei about his posture at the time, the speed of his chanting, the direction of his gaze, whether his fingers were straight, and a series of other details. He raised nearly ten hypotheses. Just as Gu Fei was stunned by his explanation, he casually asked, "What do you think it could be?"
"I think it might be because the newly learned spell isn't skilled enough, so it couldn't move that far." Gu Fei felt ashamed of his lack of game knowledge.
"Oh... that... that's probably one of the possibilities." Yu Tian Shen Ming was even more ashamed than Gu Fei in his heart.
