Chapter 252 Tactics

Bai Shi Jing Lun possessed strength that allowed him to take on multiple opponents at once, so he usually didn't need to cooperate with others. Even when in a team, his partners were mostly melee fighters, so he had absolutely no experience cooperating with other classes.

When Jian Nan You and the other five rushed out of the flames, Bai Shi Jing Lun didn't even realize it was his投杀 (tou sha, lit. "throwing kill" - a skill or tactic) of Huo Ran Yi that had caused it.

Having crossed the wall of fire, Jian Nan You lowered his head and charged towards Gu Fei, leaving him with no way out. At this point, was there any choice other than to kill his way forward?

Jian Nan You charged, Hei Shui held his dagger and ran a curved path to Gu Fei's flank, Jiao Shui fired arrows to disrupt Gu Fei's movements, and the knight continuously cast blessing skills to apply mental blessings to his teammates fighting in front, increasing their magic defense. Dao Xiang Mu and the other priest ignored whether their side had already taken damage, and continuously spammed healing spells.

They had practiced this formation countless times, and countless experts in the game had fallen to their encirclement.

Even Gu Fei didn't dare to be careless. The opponent's three-pronged attack was almost seamless, but unfortunately, Hei Shui, who was ambushing on the left, seemed to be a bit slow.

What a pity! If that thief's speed could have been a bit faster, he might not have been able to escape this formation. Gu Fei thought as he stepped aside to the left.

Almost at the same instant, Jian Nan You's footsteps abruptly stopped, and the charge skill was cancelled. He extended his left hand shield and smashed it towards Gu Fei's face, while simultaneously slashing with his right hand sword. Hei Shui on the left had also arrived, but due to his poor position, he couldn't use Backstab or Garrote, so he could only use a normal attack.

It was still an ambush, but for Gu Fei, it wasn't difficult to resolve. The opponent's attack positions were all too high, so as long as he lowered his body and used Twin Incineration again… Gu Fei was planning when he suddenly heard Bai Shi Jing Lun shout, "Arrow coming!!!"

Gu Fei was immediately startled upon hearing this, and quickly turned his body to the side. He heard a "whoosh" as an arrow flew past under the shield that Jian Nan You had slammed over, barely grazing the corner of Gu Fei's clothes.

How sinister!

Gu Fei broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected that the loophole in the opponent's previous three-pronged attack had actually been rehearsed into a trap by these guys. After he had flashed into this position, Jian Nan You immediately followed up with a shield smash to the face, which was actually to block Gu Fei's line of sight. Hei Shui and Jian Nan You weren't the main killers in this attack; the real killing move came from Jiao Shui. These two melee guys were just there to divert attention and provide cover.

If someone hadn't reminded him, Gu Fei would have definitely been hit by this arrow.

But even though he had barely dodged it, he had also revealed a huge flaw. This turn had sent his body right into Hei Shui's attack, and he was stabbed hard by Hei Shui. Fortunately, it was just a normal attack and wasn't a big deal. Gu Fei saw that Jian Nan You was raising his shield again to block his face, and knew that it wouldn't be wise to get entangled like this, so he quickly retreated several steps.

With his vision clear, Gu Fei saw that Bai Shi Jing Lun had charged towards Jiao Shui, wanting to eliminate this threat. But they had a very tactical sense of cooperation. The knight disregarded everything and tried to stop him. Although he was thrown out by Bai Shi Jing Lun after a few punches and kicks, at least he had the intention. If they hadn't encountered the two perverted kung fu combinations, Jian Nan You and the others wouldn't have lost at all.

Bai Shi Jing Lun threw the knight aside and went to deal with Jiao Shui. Of course, Jiao Shui wasn't stupid enough to engage in a close-quarters fight with Bai Shi Jing Lun. He had an advantage in running away compared to Bai Shi Jing Lun, so he immediately turned and ran. It was also at this time that Gu Fei's wall of electricity disappeared, giving Jiao Shui room to sprint. But his brothers were still fighting here, so he obviously couldn't just run away. However, thinking that if he could lure Bai Shi Jing Lun away like this, the remaining members of his team could besiege Gu Fei, it might not be an opportunity. So he ran while turning back to fire arrows and tease Bai Shi Jing Lun.

Unfortunately, Bai Shi Jing Lun's mind was firm, and he was only focused on killing Jian Nan You to earn money. Seeing Jiao Shui run far away, he completely ignored him. More importantly, Jiao Shui's attack posed no real threat to him. He easily dodged it by twisting his body.

Gu Fei was also not at a disadvantage fighting two opponents at once, but he only had enough mana for one Twin Incineration, so he didn't want to waste it and was looking for a good opportunity to attack.

Bai Shi Jing Lun turned back to support him, and Dao Xiang Mu and the other priest desperately tried to stop him, but they were easily knocked to the ground by Bai Shi Jing Lun with a punch and a kick. That priest was persistent! Even after falling to the ground, he refused to give up and quickly stretched out his arm and hugged Bai Shi Jing Lun's calf, shouting to Jiao Shui, "Shoot!!!"

This method was considered a controversial PK tactic in the game: enduring the damage to get close and hug the opponent, restricting their movements. In general, experts wouldn't bother with this method, but Jian Nan You's seven-member team obviously didn't have this principle. As long as it was beneficial to the outcome, they would choose all possible solutions.

Bai Shi Jing Lun was also careless for a moment. He didn't expect the opponent to be so shameless that they would even use抱大腿 (bao da tui, lit. "hugging the thigh" - an act of desperation). Jiao Shui had already fired two arrows嗖嗖 (sou sou, whooshing sound) as soon as he heard the prompt. With Snipe on temporary cooldown, he used Double Shot.

That priest also wouldn't let up, and having only been hugging one leg just now, he seized the opportunity to wrap both of Bai Shi Jing Lun's legs in his arms. Bai Shi Jing Lun didn't have time to break free. Jiao Shui's Double Shot had already arrived. Suddenly, he raised both hands, one in front and one behind, and brought his palms together. The two arrows were actually pinched by him at the same time.

"Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl! Beautiful!" Gu Fei cheered for him. Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl wasn't originally a move for catching hidden weapons. Bai Shi Jing Lun had made some changes and used it here, but Gu Fei still easily saw through it.

This shout made Jian Nan You and the others feel chilled. Especially the one hugging the leg. He had thought that he had bought time at all costs, but seeing that the other party still had the leisure to observe the situation here, he knew that Jian Nan You and Hei Shui's combined attack posed no threat to that mage, and his leg hug was completely meaningless.

Jian Nan You knew that the defeat was inevitable by looking at the situation. He couldn't even run, because other than Hei Shui and Jiao Shui, the other four didn't have the speed. But it was equally meaningless for two more people to stay and sacrifice themselves. Jian Nan You winked at Hei Shui, signaling him to leave first. Hei Shui understood Jian Nan You's thoughts and left immediately without any hesitation, and also waved to Jiao Shui, who was still trying to shoot another arrow at Bai Shi Jing Lun.

Jiao Shui gritted his teeth, fired the arrow casually, and then turned and ran out. The two of them, one in front and one behind, became the preserved seeds of the revolution.

Jian Nan You was originally worried that Gu Fei would hinder Hei Shui, and was prepared to intercept him. But who knew that Gu Fei didn't care at all about Hei Shui leaving. Jian Nan You had long felt that the two of them were only targeting him, but he didn't know that they were targeting him so specifically. Judging by the situation, as long as they eliminated him, they wouldn't bother with anyone else at all.

Jian Nan You glanced back. Bai Shi Jing Lun had already broken free from the one hugging his leg, and was now ignoring the other three and charging straight at him. He immediately winked at the three of them, signaling them to leave first as well. Jian Nan You decided to hold on a little longer to increase his brothers' chances of survival.

It was a pity that this hope was just a bubble. With Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun joining forces, who could withstand a single blow?

With the sword coming from the front and the shield blocking, Bai Shi Jing Lun had already approached from behind and grabbed him. With a wave of his hand, he抱身投 (bao shen tou, body throw) him out. Jian Nan You was depressed. He was going to die anyway, so why was it the same way twice?

Gu Fei was about to step forward to follow up with a Twin Incineration when several sharp sounds of wind rang in his ears. Before he could even look, he quickly retreated. Bai Shi Jing Lun also turned around and dodged repeatedly. Looking to the side again, a group of players appeared at the street entrance, pointing at Gu Fei and shouting, "He's here!!"

At the same time as they spoke, the archers' tracking arrows fell like rain, and fire wheels rolled in the sky, while fire trees bubbled on the ground.

While waving his sword to knock down the arrows, Gu Fei ran to dodge the spells that were about to appear. Bai Shi Jing Lun was doing the same, but he was more graceful than Gu Fei. He jumped up, kicked off the wall next to him, and used another Flying Swallow Slash to get onto the roof.

Jian Nan You also held his shield over his head to dodge, but cursed in his heart, "These guys are ruthless enough!"

He recognized these people. They were originally the ones he had hoped would add bricks and tiles to Gu Fei's PK value in the Warrior's Camp. As a result, these guys weren't reckless. After recognizing the strength of the Gu-Bai duo, they didn't act rashly. Instead, they gathered their manpower before officially taking action, finally finding Gu Fei at this critical moment.

Their appearance could be considered as having saved Jian Nan You's life, but he didn't feel grateful at all. These guys were indiscriminately throwing area-of-effect spells at this area, completely ignoring his existence. If he was hit by all of them, not only Gu Fei, but even he would be finished.

The knight and two priests among the seven-member team had originally prepared to leave, but this sudden change caused the three of them to stop. They quickly came up to support Jian Nan You. The knight's Holy Healing and the priest's Heal were both used on Jian Nan You without any hesitation.

Jian Nan You's movements were slow, but with the support of these partners, he stubbornly stepped out of the sea of fire with his shield over his head. Before he could even catch his breath, the flames were back. How could Gu Fei let him go so easily? He flashed towards the same direction as him, and arrived with a leap. Twin Incineration had already been unleashed heroically.

Jian Nan You subconsciously raised his shield to block. If it were normal, Gu Fei would have a follow-up move to go around the shield and cut Jian Nan You before activating the spell. But this time, he didn't have time to launch a follow-up move. The enemies at the street entrance continued to approach and attack, all targeting Gu Fei. Gu Fei wasn't so noble as to sacrifice himself to give Jian Nan You a hit. So when this sword struck Jian Nan You's shield, he shouted "Flash" and activated the spell.

Watching Jian Nan You come out踩着 (cai zhe, stepping on) the sea of fire, Gu Fei also hoped that his life would be insufficient to withstand his attack. But the result was not as he wished. Jian Nan You's three brothers were not fake. Their rapid healing spells kept Jian Nan You refreshed. At this time, he blocked Gu Fei with his shield and continued to move forward without stopping. And Gu Fei was entangled by another wave of arrows and spells.

"Bai Shi!!!" Gu Fei shouted. At this time, he really didn't have time to deal with Jian Nan You and could only let Bai Shi Jing Lun take action himself.

Bai Shi Jing Lun was obviously not capable enough to cope with this kind of big scene. He was now standing safely on the roof, but he didn't know whether to first solve the large group of people or continue to chase Jian Nan You. Hearing Gu Fei call him, he quickly replied loudly, "What?"
