Gu Fei’s contact with the enemy forces naturally stopped the movement of the coordinates. With the location pinpointed, Yun Zhong Mudi and Black Finger immediately contacted all available manpower to converge on their position, all the while anxiously monitoring the progress of the battle.
“All the mages have been wiped out, and four-fifths of the archers are dead…” The two received the grim report, stunned.
They could understand that over two hundred people were being suppressed by Qianli Yizui, but such a one-sided massacre was quite abnormal. Mages, especially, with their high attack power but weak constitution and poor mobility, were always the focus of protection in a team, second only to priests. It was simply illogical that the mages would be wiped out right off the bat.
“How did the fight go?” Both guild leaders posed the same question to their respective guild members.
Their guild members then provided detailed descriptions, admitting their mistakes and fully praising the mages for their selfless acts of self-destruction, even though they failed to blow up the enemy, only managing to blow themselves up while Qianli Yizui calmly ate an apple on the sidelines.
The two guild leaders who heard the report both turned ashen.
“Who was in command?” The question of the two sounded quite calm.
“No one was in command! It was a collective effort.” The answer.
“A collective effort, a collective effort…” Both guild leaders muttered the phrase, their blood pressure rising rapidly, their faces turning from ashen to a rusty red.
A collective effort meant they couldn't even single out someone to criticize. They couldn't possibly scold over two hundred people, could they? The law did not punish the masses, after all.
The two looked at each other, both seeing the other holding back a mouthful of blood.
“mLgB!” Black Finger spoke first.
“A bunch of trash!” Yun Zhong Mudi continued.
“Exactly!” Black Finger said.
“They actually circled around Qianli Yizui, it’s infuriating…” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“In this situation, they shouldn't have used a square formation at all. They should have used a circular formation, so that no matter how Qianli Yizui circled, they could easily keep up with the horizontal rotation,” Black Finger said.
“That's right! That's why I say, this bunch is trash!!” Yun Zhong Mudi cursed.
“I'm about to be driven mad too…” Black Finger said.
“It's too late to give them the message now, the ranged attackers are all dead,” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“Next, Qianli Yizui will just play them to death with ranged attacks,” Black Finger said.
“I think we should just tell them to scatter?” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“Oh?”
“Judging from the previous teams that were killed, Qianli Yizui always prioritizes attacking the targets of his wanted quests. This shows that he’s still prioritizing clearing his PK value. So now, if we just have them all scatter, Qianli Yizui will definitely choose his quest targets to hunt down first. This way, our losses can be reduced considerably,” Yun Zhong Mudi analyzed.
“I think we can have the melee classes hold their ground and defend, with the priests strengthening their healing. That way, we can still wear him down. Qianli Yizui only has high damage in melee. His ranged attacks are much weaker compared to his melee attacks,” Black Finger said.
“What if he forces his way into melee range?” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“I think he’s still wary of over two hundred people. Otherwise, he would have charged up for melee a long time ago. What could archers and mages do to stop him from going melee?” Black Finger analyzed.
“What you said makes sense.” Yun Zhong Mudi thought for a moment and agreed with Black Finger's statement.
“Let them hold on and resist! They should be able to hold out until we arrive,” Black Finger said.
After Yun Zhong Mudi nodded, the two guild leaders gave their orders, remotely dictating the battle strategy.
The reply they received, however, made them want to vomit blood. The players on the front lines told them that Qianli Yizui wasn't afraid of melee at all and was currently chasing them down and hacking them to pieces.
“Surround him! Can't so many people surround him?” The two guild leaders questioned in unison.
“We can't surround him, we really can't,” the player who answered the two was in great pain but also very certain.
“What exactly is the situation?” Yun Zhong Mudi was at a loss.
“How can you not be able to surround him?” Black Finger also found it unbelievable.
“His movements are too fast, we can't catch him! There are also electric walls creating obstacles, sudden shifts with Instant Shift, instant kills with Dual Flame Burst, and a skill that pushes people away. Also, he just jumped on top of people's heads! How can we surround him?” The player on the front lines described Gu Fei's methods in detail.
“How many are dead?” The two guild leaders asked with blank expressions.
“I don't know…”
The meaning of "I don't know" was, of course, that they were too busy to count. The two guild leaders were seized by panic. Could it be that this team of over two hundred people would be completely annihilated?
A complete annihilation was unlikely. Gu Fei did use many skills to avoid being surrounded in the melee, but in this situation, he could no longer calculate his mana usage. He would often run out of mana and have to retreat from the battlefield. After replenishing with fruit, he would chase after them again, repeating the process. Thus, each time he charged, he could only kill twenty or thirty people at best.
The opposing players couldn't surround him, couldn't beat him, and couldn't chase him. At this point, they had already turned around and were running towards the main city as fast as they could. Thieves and archers, who had speed, had already run off long ago, and no one blamed them. In this situation, anyone who could run would run.
Gradually, they saw support teams rushing in from all directions. The players were overjoyed. This hellish situation had finally come to an end. Those who had survived until now were all grateful for their good fortune.
Gu Fei, of course, also saw these players coming from multiple directions and had anticipated this multi-pronged pursuit long ago. At this point, he didn't hesitate at all. After killing one more time, he took off in long strides.
A bunch of short-legged players watched their own ranks being chopped into a broken mess by Gu Fei, watching Gu Fei leave like a shooting star while they could do nothing, the sorrow in their hearts only they could know.
“Where's Qianli Yizui? Where's Qianli Yizui?” Yun Zhong Mudi and Black Finger, who had rushed out from the main city road, finally made contact with this remnant force. Their eyes swept over the scene, and they had a rough idea of the losses. There was definitely a loss of over a hundred people, without a doubt. The clever two guild leaders also calculated the losses from another perspective. They asked the players at the wanted quest office what Qianli Yizui's PK value was at this time.
The answer was 387.
The two were silent, doing a subtraction. They already knew that this team had lost at least over a hundred to Gu Fei. It should be two hundred.
“387 PK value. If he dies, he's heading straight for level zero,” Yun Zhong Mudi said to himself.
“The problem is, how can we kill him?” Black Finger said. When the two of them arrived, Gu Fei had already disappeared. They hadn't even seen a ghost.
“The wanted quest can display his coordinates every five minutes, but that's useless. If he wants, he can fly to Yueye City or something at any time. We can't possibly chase him over there,” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“Even if we chased him there, what do we do if he suddenly flies back?” Black Finger said.
“But with so much PK value, he has to clear it, right?” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“That's right, he's clearing it, using our people to clear it,” Black Finger said with a painful expression. At this point, all the forces had gathered here, but Qianli Yizui was nowhere to be seen. Players who had accepted the wanted quest could see the coordinates change every five minutes, but should they chase him or not? Everyone was at a loss. In the main city streets, Gu Fei would escape by climbing walls and roofs. Let alone in the vast wilderness, there was no way to surround him or block him. People also had speed and teleport scrolls.
“This…” Yun Zhong Mudi was stunned. “We were a little rushed before. Perhaps we should make good use of this.”
“You mean use players with PK value as bait?”
Yun Zhong Mudi nodded. “We need a convenient place to ambush him, and wait for him to come to us.”
“What if he doesn't come?”
“Do we have any other options besides that? You know his coordinates, but can you catch him?”
“I think we can gather a team of archers. Even if they can't kill him, they can constantly harass him. They don't have to be afraid of him counter-killing them. As long as they keep their distance, archers will never be caught by him. With constant harassment, he'll always have moments of carelessness,” Black Finger also had an idea.
“Then he'll just leave Yunduan City,” Yun Zhong Mudi said.
“Damn it…” Black Finger forgot about that move again. “It seems we can only do as you said.”
“Think of a place!” Yun Zhong Mudi pondered.
“It's finally over!!!” The Drifting three-man team in the parliament hall breathed a sigh of relief. The two guilds, a total of 2100 people. Drifting stubbornly sent all the names to Gu Fei, and also asked Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome to copy them down separately, without missing a single one.
“I wonder how this guy's clearing is going,” Drifting thought, and went to another query point in the data room. The data room contained various intelligence about the main city, including the PK value rankings of the main city's players. Of course, this was just to display the data; quests and such still had to be done at the wanted quest office.
“387…” Drifting saw the top spot at a glance and spat out a mouthful of blood, sending a message to Gu Fei: “Are you clearing PK with wanted quests?”
“Yeah!”
“Cleared to 387 points?” Drifting asked.
“How did you know?”
“I can check anything here.”
“Oh, those wanted targets, it's impossible for there to be just one person there, it's all teams, I can't help it…” Gu Fei explained.
“387 points, how are you going to manage this?”
“The people from Black Alliance and Mu Yun can't accept it anymore. The more they accept, the more PK value I get. Find me some other people,” Gu Fei said.
“What do you mean by other people?” Drifting's face was turning green.
“Other people means all the other players in Yunduan City besides those two guilds,” Gu Fei said very seriously.
“I'll kill for 19 PK value, accept me!!!” Drifting was just about to reply like this, but looking at the PK value list in front of him, he paused, then suddenly laughed, and quickly responded.
“If we don't require a guild, isn't this PK data perfect?” Drifting said with a smile to Left Hand Writes Love and Right Hand Writes Handsome.
The two were silent for a long time, then Left Hand Writes Love asked suspiciously: “Is our wanderer faction really born to serve their guard team?”
