558 Chapter 558 - Three Forces (2/2)

Unfortunately, Southern Lone Blade and his men completely did not reciprocate such a straightforward method. After cautiously and diligently trailing after the six players as they complete two rounds, it became apparent to Southern Lone Blade and the others that these people were circling around meaninglessly.

”What the actual f*ck is going on?” Flame Singed Clothes was the first to become impatient, complaining across the party channel. They felt really pressured with Gu Fei's presence as the group wandered about this whole time.

”Big South, what do you think?” Glue asked.

”They are waiting for us,” Southern Lone Blade replied.

”Is that what you think as well?”

”Yeah. They originally had a lot more people with them, a situation that we would never attempt to mount an assault. That's why they intentionally dismissed a huge portion of their manpower the moment they stepped out of the tavern, leaving only six players to match our numbers. Afterward, they deliberately keep circling around in this small area here; it's likely to draw our attention to them, so that we will strike,” Southern Lone Blade deduced.

”Did they not even consider us possibly watching them do all this in secret?” Flame Singed Clothes asked.

”What can we do even if we're watching them? Let me ask you; if we don't know that one of them is Thousand Miles Drunk, would we not have already made our move against any party of six?”

”Yeah. You're right…” Flame Singed Clothes nodded. Aside from Thousand Miles Drunk, there was no way that they would be afraid of any party that had the same number of players as them, even if they were lower in level right now.

”I'm certain that Thousand Miles Drunk is the only one who can come up with such a plan. He's the only one capable of disregarding any sort of enemies he may face, after all.” Glue sighed.

”A real m*th*rf*ck*r,” Southern Lone Blade cursed.

”So, what do we do now?” Flame Singed Clothes asked.

”Continue to follow them, of course. I still refuse to believe that he's going to continue strolling like this for long.” Southern Lone Blade was grinding his teeth. ”We might be no match for him in PK, but would we lose to the man when it comes to our patience?”

”That's right; we'll challenge his patience!” Each of them rallied. They had finally found a method to defeat Thousand Miles Drunk, even though it was rather wistful on their part.

In the end, the one who was the most hesitant was still Silver Moon. He followed Ye Xiaowu and No Smile as they made their way to the coordinates Southern Lone Blade had given, but Gu Fei was not there anymore. Silver Moon no longer wanted to find out where Gu Fei's actual position was, so he chose to take a step back in the matter by deducing, ”It's unknown where he is. He might still be around, or he might've already left.”

But who would have guessed just how accurate this was, for Gu Fei and the others had indeed stayed around, and it was Ye Xiaowu and No Smile that had acted in line with exactly what Gu Fei had previously mentioned: They went around asking the players passing by.

A black robe was not particularly unique, but adding a top-grade sword with a deep purple sheen… Gu Fei's ability to draw attention showed through these few details, allowing Ye Xiaowu and No Smile to very quickly learn what they wanted to know after asking a few players.

”Over here!” The two brought Silver Moon along as they walked, even as Silver Moon felt like crying despite there being no tears.

Asking along as they made their way around, they soon caught sight of Gu Fei's signature look 200 meters away. At the same time, they also spotted the other five players alongside him, causing Ye Xiaowu and No Smile to turn back and stare at Silver Moon. ”Alone?”

Silver Moon scratched his head, feigning a look of innocence. ”How can this be?”

”Let's take a closer look,” Ye Xiaowu said. Silver Moon and No Smile were not afraid, either. They were still quite a distance away from Gu Fei, and the only reason they managed to identify the man was his outstanding equipment. Silver Moon and the two were not dressed so conspicuously, so none of them was afraid that Gu Fei could pick them out from the crowd. Despite this, No Smile still cautiously kept his face covered.

As they got closer, they were able to deduce the other job classes of the six.

”Three Mages, a Priest, a Thief, and an Archer.” No Smile listed them out.

”That Priest—” No Smile recognized Vast Lushness, oddly glancing over to Silver Moon as the man quickly made eye-contact. While No Smile had no idea what this was about, he nevertheless hurried to stop short of saying the rest of his sentence.

”A Dark Priest,” Ye Xiaowu completed his sentence, thinking that No Smile's hesitance was a result of how rare it was to see one.

Silver Moon quickly followed up. ”That Mage on the far left is called Blue Ease. His skill isn't too bad, but as for that female Thief, that's Svelte Dancer.”

”Svelte Dancer! Oh…” Ye Xiaowu and No Smile exclaimed as their voices trailed off. Though neither had met her before, the two were well-aware that she was a player whose name preceded her.

”Not only is she high level, she's actually very powerful, too,” Silver Moon added.

”Yes. Her dagger, Dancing Dervish, is on par with your King's Blade and Thousand Mile Drunk's Moonlit Nightfalls. Even though that dagger has no inlaid skill, its damage output is extremely impressive, and it's currently the best weapon out there in terms of Attack Power,” Ye Xiaowu explained.

”You mean that it's not Thousand Miles Drunk's?” Silver Moon was surprised.

”I'm talking about just the weapon damage alone. Moonlit Nightfalls' Attack Power is not higher than Dancing Dervish's, but Thousand Miles Drunk still has his Midnight Spirit Robe – Intelligence +20, Spell Mastery +1, and increased Spell Damage by 10%. It's an exceptional piece of equipment for a Mage, especially that Spell Mastery +1 trait. Without that robe, he'd be just like you without your Torq of Leadership, unable to bring into play the full extent of the weapon in his hand, which means that his high damage will no longer exist,” Ye Xiaowu said.

”Moonlit Nightfalls, Midnight Spirit Robe…” Silver Moon muttered. The entire playerbase of Parallel World knew just how frightening Gu Fei's equipment damage was, but Silver Moon had not even learned what the names of those two equipment were until today. Meanwhile, No Smile was feeling a little more awkward as he stood at the side, for he had been killed back when Gu Fei had yet to earn his moniker the 'Insta-kill Mage'. With just a crappy sword that dealt additional attack, Gu Fei managed to annihilate No Smile, momentarily making him feel immensely insignificant as a result.

”Speaking of which, why is a sword a Mage's weapon?” This was something Silver Moon had been pondering over for the longest time.
