34 Chapter 34 - Ten Percent Chance of a Fatal Blow (1/2)

The lakeside on the outskirt of Yunduan City was silent. Nobody, even the ones hiding within the bushes, dared to move. The two players lying on their stomach stared at Gu Fei who had a weird smile on his face.

”I'm Thousand Miles Drunk. Sorry for what happened earlier,” Gu Fei said to the two.

They exchanged glances.

”My name's Fei Lian,” said the person on the left.

”I'm Ascension,” said the one on the right.

”Nice to meet you both!” Gu Fei extended his hand and shook each of their proffered hands.

The two players did not know each other prior to this, so they exchanged greetings as well. The bushes they were in shook as they introduced themselves to one another, looking absolutely impure from afar. June's Rain, who was still hiding behind the tree stump, was pure-minded, yet even she had to ask out of curiosity, ”What're you three doing? Stop fighting already!”

”It's nothing! We're cool now! We're not that stupid to fight in a situation like this!” Ascension said to June's Rain as he waved his hand.

Unfortunately, he had raised his hand too high. His hand was like a beacon of light in the darkness, revealing their position clearly to the Archer. An arrow unerringly flew toward them.

”Ughhh!” Ascension reached back and touched the arrow that had struck his waist, looking at his HP, ”I'm dead.” He really did die after saying these words.

”Move!” Gu Fei shouted toward Fei Lian.

”What are you shouting at me for?!” Fei Lian was stunned. He only managed to react again after he saw Gu Fei quickly roll to the side. However, he was a bit slower in diving to the side, resulting in an arrow piercing him exactly on his right shoulder. Following that one arrow, a few more arrows flew and struck the spot that they were on mere seconds ago.

Gu Fei stayed still on the ground as he turned his head, ”You alright?” He had seen the kind of damage Snipe could cause. Anyone who took two arrows consecutively would be killed for sure.

”Yes!” Fei Lian gritted his teeth as he answered, ”The last arrow's not under Snipe, so the damage it dealt is not very high.”

”Oh? Why didn't the Archer use it?” Gu Fei asked.

”Snipe has a long cool-down time, so it's impossible to shoot arrows with it continuously,” Fel Lian answered.

”You sure know a lot!” Gu Fei complimented.

”That's because I'm also an Archer,” Fei Lian replied.

”Oh? Why didn't you use Snipe on that person as well?” Gu Fei queried.

”I'm not at level 30 yet!” Fei Lian lamented.

Gu Fei could only sigh after hearing his words.

”Plus!” Fei Lian was not finished yet, ”Even the regular arrow that person just shot me with dealt high damage. It means that Archer's equipment is top grade.”

A level 30 player fully equipped with high-grade equipment was indubitably the peak state anyone could currently be in the game. It seemed like Gu Fei had chanced upon a formidable and troublesome opponent today. Gu Fei sneaked a peek up the hill. Besides the first arrow catching him by surprise, Gu Fei saw all the succeeding shots the opponent had made. The arrows might be swift, but his eyes were still far quicker.

Because he could clearly see each attack, Gu Fei was certain that Snipe not only had a long attack range but a fast speed as well. However, the few regular arrows the Archer had shot them with indicated that the person was not hiding within the Snipe's maximum range. This also meant that the opponent used Snipe at a closer distance to them. Meaning, it would be much harder to dodge. Gu Fei was confident that he could dodge if it was merely a normal arrow shot. However, it would be almost impossible to do so if it was Snipe.

”What's the cool-down time for Snipe?” Gu Fei asked Fei Lian.

”Official website says it's forty-five seconds,” Fei Lian replied, ”But that still varies for each individual. We don't know if the Archer has equipment that reduces waiting period. Rumors said boosting Spirit stat can reduce cool-down time for skills too.”

”Forty-five seconds...” Gu Fei muttered. Forty-five seconds already passed since their opponent had last used Snipe, so poking his head out now would simply result in getting one-shot killed.

Gu Fei needed their opponent to shoot one more arrow to pinpoint the Archer's exact location. If he knew their opponent's firing target, then he would be able to determine which trajectory the arrow came from. He had a rough idea of the attacker's direction from the movement of the wind, but what he needed to know was the Archer's exact hiding spot.

”Xiaoyu,” Gu Fei added June's Rain to his friends list and privately messaged her.

”What?”

”How high is your defense?” Gu Fei asked.

Xiaoyu reported the number accordingly, ”Why are you asking?”

Gu Fei did not reply to her right away, but instead turned to ask Fei Lian, ”How much damage did that normal arrow deal to you?”

Fei Lian checked his HP and told him the number, while inquiring as well, ”Why are you asking?”

”How much will Snipe increase the damage by?” Gu Fei asked.

”I think it's 100%, which is twice that of a normal attack. But there's also a chance of it being a Fatal Blow,” Fei Lian answered.

”Fatal Blow?”
