157 Chapter 157 - Gallantry and Tactics (2/2)
Turning his head in the direction of the laugh, Gu Fei impatiently bellowed, ”What are you looking at me for?! Get rid of that Priest already!”
The enemies followed his gaze, yet all they saw was air. They returned their gazes to Gu Fei and regarded him oddly, thinking, Has this guy finally lost his marbles?
However, a figure unexpectedly faded into view from that empty space in the next instant. When this figure completely materialized, it was already within two meters of Young Master Han.
Svelte Dancer.
When Gu Fei broke through the enemies' zoning, he noticed that a Thief on Stealth had detached itself from the ladies' side. Gu Fei should have no idea who this Thief on Stealth was without the person revealing himself or herself, yet the person's fast speed allowed him to guess the Thief's identity right away, as no one could move so quickly while on Stealth besides Svelte Dancer.
The Priest Young Master Han without an Endurance build currently did not have anyone near him. With Svelte Dancer's monstrously fast speed and high Attack Power, he might not even have time to bestow Heal on himself.
Relieved, Gu Fei returned Young Master Han's snigger. Unexpectedly, Young Master Han merely flashed Gu Fei a cold smile. Before that smile faded away, Gu Fei had already heard Svelte Dancer's annoyed cry: ”Ahhh! Why would there be a Hunting Trap here?!”
The Archers that that had previously shot nothing but air due to Svelte Dancer's extremely fast speed immediately made the necessary adjustments. These Archers were confident that they could hit a stationary target, so they unhurriedly made their shots.
”How troublesome!” Gu Fei said as he used his last bit of mana to carve out a portion of his encirclement and dart toward Svelte Dancer.
Gu Fei arrived to where Svelte Dancer was, and the arrows were close to hitting her as well. So he immediately bent over and swept his leg at her heels, causing Svelte Dancer to screamingly topple to the front and into his waiting back, successfully evading all the arrows heading her way at the same time.
”F*ck! Why does it seems like the new one is always heavier than the last one when I am carrying girls?!”
Heavy, fat, plump, ugly, old… were usually taboo descriptions for any women, yet the emulous Svelte Dancer did not react negatively to Gu Fei's crass comment and instead guiltily answered, ”I'm sorry! I have lots of stuff in my dimensional pocket.”
”Throw them away! Quickly throw them away!” By the time he said this, Gu Fei had already straightened his back while running away unsteadily with Svelte Dancer on his back. He felt as if he would cough up blood at any given moment due to her heavy weight.
Gu Fei had of course no wish to PvP while Svelte Dancer was on his back, so he decided to run away with her for now. He was only helping her move since she had no means to do so herself. She would return to normal without receiving damage once the Hunting Trap's effect wore off, anyway. This was what he had learned from the Forever in Flowers''Hunting Babes with Trap' method.
As for when exactly the trap's effect would wear off… Gu Fei lowered his head to check, and he noticed that the trap was still clamping down on Svelte Dancer's leg!
”Oh!” Hearing Gu Fei's exhortation, Svelte Dancer promptly tossed out some items from her dimensional pocket.
Gu Fei indeed felt the weight pressing on his body lessening and his steps becoming lighter the more items Svelte Dancer threw out. He looked backward and saw that the enemies were closing in on them fast, yet the trap was still hugging Svelte Dancer's leg.
”Don't bother about me! Run!” Svelte Dancer resolutely made a decision.
”How could he?!” Someone actually answered for Gu Fei, saying, ”He wants to prove that companions are important.”
He looked backward once more and saw that Young Master Han was staring at him with mocking eyes.
Gu Fei gave out a light laugh, ”I'm not trying to prove anything! It's just instinctive sometimes.”
Although Svelte Dancer had thrown out many items, Gu Fei was still heavily encumbered. This meant that his speed had barely increased, so the enemies very easily caught up to them.
The enemies catching up to him was not really a problem despite his depleted mana, but since the immobile Svelte Dancer was with him right now… Gu Fei could only sigh.
Surprisingly, the enemies who initially had their eyes fixed on the two were now gazing even more intently on the ground. ”These items…” everyone mumbled.
Gu Fei glanced around them. The many items Svelte Dancer had thrown on the ground were glistening with radiance. He had a sudden realization, I'm carrying the world's mightiest pay-to-win player. The items she carries around are of course not just mere trinkets. Although not just anyone could equip these items, they were still worth a lot of money.
How many people would actually be unmoved by such a shower of valuable freebies? These players of Carouse clearly did not wish to reject them, but… Pick them up? But what if the others scorn me for doing so… Refrain myself from picking them up? But what if the others pick them up for themselves? Such thoughts were fermenting on their minds right now.
How long does a Hunting Trap last? As Gu Fei was pondering on this and the enemies were hesitating about picking up the items on the ground, the Hunting Trap on Svelte Dancer had finally worn off.
”I'm fine now!” Svelte Dancer whispered.
”Go finish them!” Gu Fei and Young Master Han actually said the same thing at the same time.
Svelte Dancer nodded her head confidently as she hopped to the ground, ”What about you?”
”Let me eat a banana first,” Gu Fei replied.
”F*ck! This again…” Svelte Dancer muttered as she zipped off.
