188 Chapter 188 - Archer Formation (1/2)

The ladies chose a companion each and went to the various spots of the PvP arena to hide. Along the way, they continued to chat with one another.

Gu Fei could not help but sigh at this. At such a crucial moment, these ladies still have the time to chat with one another. They truly have the air of experts! Conversely, the two real experts jumped into a trench and crept toward the enemies' direction. Gu Fei had the two of them doing this to prevent the enemies from seeing him and Svelte Dancer before they could spot them.

”Must we do this?” Svelte Dancer felt very embarrassed at having to crawl in the trench.

Gu Fei firmly nodded his head, ”We are up against seven hundred three men. How else will we have the chance to launch our surprise attack if they can see us even from afar?” Unlike how he would arrogantly charge into his targets when doing 'Bounty Mission', Gu Fei proceeded in this PvP with caution.

While they were stealthily advancing forward, Gu Fei was asking for more information from Royal God Call, ”So what sort of the strategy are you guys employing?”

”Archer formation,” Royal God Call replied.

”What?” It was a new term for Gu Fei.

”You'll understand when we engage you all,” Royal God Call replied vaguely.

”Archer formation… You know what kind of PvP formation that is?” Gu Fei asked Svelte Dancer.

Svelte Dancer shook her head, clueless.

Traveling from one end of the map to the other via this trench was impossible, but the two were not planning to do that and were merely using this for cover as they proceeded forward, peeking their heads out from time to time to see if they had the enemies in sight and continuing to crawl forward when they spotted no one. Eventually, Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer spied two enemy players ahead that were also doing their scouting from the opposite side.

”You really are my lucky star! Leave these two guys to me!” Svelte Dancer happily said to Gu Fei as she activated Fleetfoot to charge at the enemies.

Svelte Dancer differed from the other Thieves in this aspect. Usually, Thieves would avoid being spotted by others and focused on launching a sneak attack on their enemies. Thieves had low HP after all, so they would be risking their lives if they met the opponents head on. But with Svelte Dancer's fast speed and top-grade equipment that provided her high defense and Attack Power, she was more than capable of taking any opponent head on.

”My prey...” Gu Fei muttered to himself as he saw her pounce forward to where the two enemies were. Given Svelte Dancer's speed, he simply had no way of catching up to snatch the prey from her, and he had indeed been reduced to trailing behind Svelte Dancer.

Meanwhile, the two enemy players had also caught sight of Gu Fei and Svelte Dancer and prepared themselves for combat. The two men were the conventional kind of Thieves, so they promptly activated their Stealth when they caught sight of a Mage and a Thief closing in on them.

”Ah! They're gone!” Svelte Dancer exclaimed as she slowed down her pace.

Gu Fei was still hurrying over from afar, so he could not really tell the exact locations of the enemies on Stealth. Not to mention that the two men had focused all their attention on to Svelte Dancer and had completely disregarded Gu Fei, making it harder for him to sense the presence of the invisible enemies.

The situation was quite perilous, yet Svelte Dancer still fearlessly exclaimed, ”I know you guys are still here! Come out quickly!”

It was at this moment that one of the Thieves materialized from behind her and struck her with a large baton, causing a Dizzy status effect on Svelte Dancer that left her immobile.

An opportunity to kill the two by his hands had just emerged, and Gu Fei happily shouted, ”Don't wake her up just yet!”

The Thief on Stealth and the visible Thief positioned themselves behind Svelte Dancer, as they were planning to use Backstab – the current thief skill with the highest damage output – on her together to kill her off. Gu Fei's shout left them stunned for a bit, but they naturally ignored his request and still plunged their daggers on to her back. And with that, Svelte Dancer was able to move again.

”Sigh…” Gu Fei said disappointedly, ”I told you not to wake her up.”

Wasting no time, Svelte Dancer pivoted on her heel once she was able to move again and killed off one of her assailants with a swish of her dagger.

To think that backstabbing this female Thief twice is not enough to kill her off… Her defense must be insanely high! While the Thief was still dazedly thinking this to himself, Svelte Dancer mercilessly stabbed him with her dagger.

Gu Fei did not manage to kill even one of the two enemies, leaving him utterly disappointed as he walked toward her.

Svelte Dancer cheerfully took out a loaf of bread from her dimensional pocket as she called out, ” We'll continue onward after my HP is recovered.”

Gu Fei helplessly nodded his head. If things continued on in this fashion, Svelte Dance might steal all his possible prey away from him!

As Svelte Dancer sat on the ground and ate her bread, Gu Fei peered all around them and saw a cloud of dust incessantly getting stirred in the distance. It was as if a large group of people were marching forward….

”Hey!” Gu Fei nudged the seated Svelte Dancer using his foot, ”It appears that a large number of players are currently heading our way.”

”Where?” Svelte Dancer, who had more or less recovered her HP, stood up and took a look. The cloud of dust was rolling closer with each passing second. Indeed, there appeared to be many people marching toward their direction at a steady pace. ”From the looks of things, I expect there to be about two hundred players,” she surmised.

”That's ridiculous. I say it's about one hundred,” Gu Fei corrected.

”Let's bet on it!” Svelte Dancer said.

”What are we betting with?”
