Hu Die Lan
Chapter 193 Adapt to Circumstances
Gu Fei's magic attacks were known for their ability to instantly kill countless players. His damage was indeed terrifying, and fragile classes simply couldn't withstand a single blow. However, the ones holding the three shields were the Parallel World's tankiest heavy armor warriors. These guys would choose extreme constitution builds, making their HP incredibly high to begin with. Now, with these magic-resistant shields raised high, it wasn't surprising that Gu Fei couldn't instantly kill them.
As for the other seven people, they were hiding behind the shields. When the Heavenly Fire Wheel's attack landed, the system would naturally calculate the damage against the shield's owner. The seven of them wouldn't be affected at all.
At this moment, the experienced Jian Gui had already identified the three shield-bearers.
"Too abnormal!" Jian Gui was losing his cool. "Prison of Solitude Shield. High physical defense, high magic defense, and it also absorbs fifty percent of physical and magical damage. Physical and magical defense each strengthened by 30%, plus 20 to constitution. Damn! They actually have three of these identical, abnormal pieces of equipment?"
"If the shield is already this strong, and you factor in their whole set of equipment, wouldn't even the strongest attacks be like toys?" Yu Tian Shen Ming also paled in shock. With the three of them fully equipped, Yu Tian Shen Ming's strongest skill, Snipe, was useless.
"I can still be of some use. At least my Backstab and Muffle are used from behind, so I can avoid their shields." Jian Gui forced a smile, but it was filled with helplessness. The opponents were practically huddled together, and with people behind the three, where would Jian Gui find the chance to sneak up for a Backstab?
"Looks like I have to rely on myself." Gu Fei took a few steps forward and raised his sword. "Fire Tree, Thousand Heavy Flames, arise!"
Unfortunately, Gu Fei didn't add any points to intelligence or spirit, so casting this spell was always a bit slow. Experienced players could roughly tell what spell it was just by looking at the direction the mage's finger was pointing, not to mention that Gu Fei's incantation was quite loud, with a hint of "See what you can do about this."
Heavenly Fire Wheel? You guys held your shields up to the sky. Now it's Fire Tree, Thousand Heavy Flames. Surely, you can't step on the shields on the ground, can you?
That's what Gu Fei thought, and that's exactly what they did. The three heavy armor warriors deftly pressed the Prison of Solitude Shields to the ground, and the other seven jumped onto the shields. Gu Fei's slow spell then "whooshed" into existence. The ten of them seemed to be in the middle of the flames, yet remained calm and unhurried.
"They can do that too!" Gu Fei was in tears.
"The speed at which you cast spells is really..." Jian Gui and Yu Tian Shen Ming were also speechless. Frankly speaking, their constructive method seemed to be specifically designed for Gu Fei. The seven people moved aside, the shields were pressed to the ground, and then the seven jumped on. What a complicated procedure! If they hadn't encountered a mage like Gu Fei, they wouldn't have had time to do it.
"Wait until I use two spells to blast them together." Gu Fei said as he pulled out a fruit. Four grand spells were Gu Fei's current mana level. He had already used three.
"No need to try," Jian Gui said. "To be honest, your spell casting is too slow. It's not hard to dodge. I think they're just standing there on purpose, just to test your damage."
As Jian Gui said, after the three spells were launched, the three heavy armor warriors stood up the Prison of Solitude Shields again. A small gap was left between the two shields, and Yin Yue stood out with a smile. "Brother Qian Li, what a terrifying spell damage!"
Gu Fei squeezed out a smile. He was busy swallowing an apple and didn't have time to talk.
"What about your three brothers? Aren't they coming?" Yin Yue looked towards Han Family's Young Master and the other two who hadn't come over.
Gu Fei was still eating the apple and didn't speak, so Yu Tian Shen Ming answered, "Do we need to use everyone to deal with you?"
Gu Fei and Jian Gui simultaneously turned their heads and stared intensely at Yu Tian Shen Ming.
"That's just a figure of speech..." Yu Tian Shen Ming said with a grin.
"You spoke my mind!" Gu Fei finally swallowed the apple. "We didn't need everyone to begin with. I alone is enough."
As soon as he said this, Jian Gui's intense gaze turned to Gu Fei again. In his mind, Gu Fei wasn't such an arrogant and ignorant person. He found this ten-person organization to be quite tricky. The three heavy armor warriors alone were difficult to deal with, not to mention that Yin Yue had an extremely powerful skill that he hadn't used yet.
Yu Tian Shen Ming also opened his mouth wide. "What do you want to do?"
"Get closer." Gu Fei stepped forward, but Jian Gui grabbed him. "Do you want to teleport into their formation? That's useless. You don't have the ability to instantly kill them. A few of them can squeeze you, and no matter how good you are, you won't have any room to maneuver!"
Jian Gui raised a very realistic PK problem in the current Parallel World virtual reality game.
If you want to fight many with one, instant kill is an indispensable ability. If you can't instantly kill someone, then the other person is likely to withstand the damage and squeeze you. Then you can't stretch your hands and feet, so how do you fight? When Gu Fei faced Yun Mu guild alone, Yun Zhong Mu Di hesitated whether to use this method.
"Don't worry, I won't be that stupid." Gu Fei patted Jian Gui with a smile. "If necessary, you two give me support."
After Gu Fei finished speaking, he walked towards the ten people alone. Han Family's Young Master, who had been watching from afar, couldn't help but be stunned, and said to You Ge beside him, "What's this guy doing again? Is he going to solo them?"
"Probably." You Ge replied blankly.
Yin Yue and the other ten were also surprised by Gu Fei's actions. Watching him walk up alone, step by step, they couldn't figure out Gu Fei's intentions.
"What should we do, boss? Stick to the original plan?" Someone asked Yin Yue.
"Stick to the original plan." Yin Yue gritted his teeth. "This mage is too scary. As long as we eliminate him, the rest won't be too difficult to deal with."
The others nodded, all prepared. Watching Gu Fei approach slowly, step by step, twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters... The atmosphere became more and more tense, but Gu Fei suddenly stopped, and the scene froze.
"What does he want to do?" The ten of them were a little nervous.
Although they had the Prison of Solitude Shield to protect them, Gu Fei's magic damage was just as abnormal as the shield. Facing another abnormal skill user, the non-abnormal were inevitably nervous. Subconsciously, the seven all squeezed closer to the three heavy armor warriors.
Gu Fei didn't have anything special in mind. He just received a message, so he stopped to reply.
"What are your plans?" Han Family's Young Master asked.
"Adapt to the situation," Gu Fei replied.
"Even if you die, take down three or five with you," Han Family's Young Master said.
"I'll try," Gu Fei replied.
He continued forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was five meters away. Gu Fei could clearly see Yin Yue's shameless face, and also noticed the nervous expressions on those people's faces.
Gu Fei's pace slowed down, and the tension on the other side's faces became more intense. They still couldn't figure out Gu Fei's intentions. As a mage, walking closer and closer was just asking for death, wasn't it?
Four meters, three meters... Gu Fei was still walking forward, but Yin Yue couldn't hold back any longer. Suddenly, he reached into his pocket, took something out, and waved it. "Charge!"
The order was clearly "charge," but the others all shrank behind the shields, disappearing from sight. Gu Fei was wondering what kind of reverse thinking command this was when suddenly a golden light flashed from the opponent's formation. Yin Yue's group healing skill had been activated. Then, the three shields roared like a wall as they slammed towards Gu Fei. Gaps were left between the shields, and the warriors' favorite two-handed greatswords were thrust out from within.
So it's a charge! Gu Fei realized. Because everyone was hiding behind the shields, Gu Fei couldn't see their movements and lost his ability to judge. Now, with the support of Yin Yue's "King's Order" skill, this charge was even more ferocious than any warrior charge Gu Fei had ever seen.
Moreover, the five people with three shields and two swords were lined up in a row. No matter how fast one's reaction and speed were, it was impossible to dodge this charge. Even Swift Waist Dance in sprint mode couldn't do it.
Perhaps only one person in the entire game could dodge it: Gu Fei. And it had to be the Gu Fei from after last night, because after last night, Gu Fei possessed the fastest movement skill: Instantaneous Movement.
Almost at the instant the opponent's sword and shield collided with Gu Fei, Gu Fei's Instantaneous Movement was successfully activated, and with a "whoosh," he teleported away.
The opponents were blindly charging behind the shields and had no idea that Gu Fei was no longer there. On the contrary, the people behind them, who hadn't followed them in the charge, suddenly saw Gu Fei appear before their eyes.
Yin Yue was holding his King's Sword, and the brilliant golden light emanating from the sword illuminated everyone except Gu Fei.
Besides Yin Yue, there were four other people who saw Gu Fei appear: two knights, a warrior, and a priest.
They either didn't have the charging skill, or they hadn't activated it. They were chasing behind the five guys who had charged out. Suddenly, they saw the air in front of them seem to shatter for a moment. When it returned to normal, Gu Fei had appeared before their eyes.
As the others were opening their mouths in surprise, Gu Fei had already swung his sword. "Dual Flame Flash, flash!"
The purple-black sword light and the fiery red Dual Flame Flash swept across the three people in front of him.
Yin Yue and his two knight brothers.
Under the "King's Order," everyone's attributes had been greatly enhanced. But they still couldn't withstand Gu Fei's Dual Flame Flash, which combined physical and magical damage. Yin Yue's two brothers were instantly killed on the spot. Only he was still alive.
Yin Yue's equipment was excellent, and his magic defense was quite high. It was like this when he was level 30, and now at 40, his equipment had taken another step up. As for Gu Fei, in addition to greatly improving the proficiency of Dual Flame Flash, he had discovered that he could combine swordsmanship to unleash both physical and magical attacks at the same time. His improvement was not as significant as Yin Yue's.
Just like that day in Moonnight City, Gu Fei still failed to instantly kill Yin Yue this time.
