636 Chapter 636 - Staging a Comeback (1/2)

Sniper God, who was worrying for Old Lightning and Thunder, did not seem to care that the movement speed in the game was limited by the amount of Agility they had, anxiously urging them to speed up. The two were a bundle of nerves, too. While they were willing to sacrifice their lives if they must, they would certainly not want to do so pointlessly.

In the end, when Sniper God turned his head around as he yelled at them to hurry, he saw that none of their enemies had made any move toward them. Sniper God found this to be a little unbelievable, so he consciously slowed down his pace, just short of inviting them to give chase, yet no one seemed to bother acknowledging him.

Sniper God was pretty astonished, but he was not based enough to go back and send himself off to his death. Thus, all he could do was keep moving with Old Lightning and Thunder in tow as he wondered to himself in puzzlement. Just as they were about to get off the street, a figure came walking in their direction; every portion of this man's body, from his waist up, was hunched over. This person lethargically plodded down the road, looking as if he were about to collapse to the ground at any moment.

Sniper God and the other ex-soldiers were particular when it came to a soldier's discipline and posture, so the three were all revolted when they saw someone so lacking in spirit, and they could not help but gaze at this man quite a few times. In the end, as that person got closer and closer, leaving the three men in a state of confusion as they wondered, Why is this guy only just arriving here, at this time?

This man that had caused Sniper God and the two Mages to mutter to themselves was none other than that Fighter whom they had spent quite an irritable time putting up with outside White Foam Tavern, Gu Xian. Even though Gu Xian did not go for an all-Agility build, his movement speed was definitely not slow in the slightest, and this was after he invested in more Agility than Eternal Dominion at level 40 or so. After Sniper God and the others departed for the Priest Academy, while Gu Xian lacked the movement speed to circle around and intercept everyone like what Gu Fei did, it should have been rather easy for him to chase them.

Alas, Gu Xian was the living embodiment of the word 'lazy'. This laziness had gotten to the level where it was no longer the fear of tiring himself out. With how long stamina lasted in Parallel World, how could it be so easy for players to tire out? His laziness was to the extent where he simply had no wish to move or stir. Were it not for him being at a loss on what to do staying around the tavern, it was unknown if he would even bother to drag himself all the way out here. Although he had finally made it over, he dawdled his whole way through, so much so that the fight had already ended by the time he arrived.

He saw the three when he looked up, and since he had a decent memory, he recognized them easily. Nodding his head to acknowledge them, he asked, ”Are you three the only ones left?”

Sniper God and the other two were mortified! This was a question they did not wish to answer.

Meanwhile, Gu Xian did not seem to be very concerned with this question as he quickly changed the topic. ”Where's that Priest? The one called Freaking Smile.”

”It's Fleeting Smile.” Thunder could not help but correct.

”Oh? Fleeting Smile. What a long name; isn't that just tiring?” Gu Xian muttered even as he continued to ask. ”Where is he now?”

The three had no idea how to answer him, involuntarily glancing over to the Priest Academy. That was the original goal of their rescue mission, but seeing as the mission was a failure…

”Why isn't he out from the spawn point yet?” He could tell what the look in the three men's eyes meant and wondered aloud about this as he trudged over. The three men were left on the street by themselves.

”We—” Old Lightning looked at Thunder and Sniper God.

”—Are leaving!” Sniper God gritted his teeth. What else could they do but leave? Everyone seemed to be ignoring them now.

”I'm coming!” Gu Xian walked over to the crowd present, greeting Gu Fei.

”The fight's over,” Gu Fei said.

”Isn't that Priest still here?” Gu Xian asked as he headed over to the Priest Academy entrance. With the PK-ing coming to an end, the spectators all proceeded to leave the Priest Academy and go about their businesses. Sword Demon and Blackwater, who were Stealthed at the entrance, could not keep themselves hidden now that people were squeezing their way out of the place and got forcibly revealed themselves. Ye Xiaowu, Old Wu, and Xiaochen originally wanted to use this time to blend into this chaos and sneak out, but when they saw the two men sternly keeping their unwavering gazes on them after breaking Stealth, even the onlookers could tell what the Thieves' intentions were and quickly came to a halt, hoping to see if the Priests would step out and get slaughtered. When the three Priests saw this, they decided against stepping out and hurried their way back in the safety of the spawn point.

The crowd dispersed with a tinge of regret, and this was when Gu Xian finally made it to the Priest Academy entrance. Lifting an arm up to support himself on Sword Demon's shoulder, he yelled at Ye Xiaowu, ”Why aren't you coming out?!”

Sword Demon turned to look at this person with his arm around his shoulders, a little astonished. The two barely met that one time; were they so close to this degree? However, the ever considerate and honest Sword Demon did not say a word, only feeling… D*mn. Why is the weight on my shoulder getting heavier and heavier? Is this guy treating me like a wall to lean on?

Ye Xiaowu looked at this Gu Fei lookalike and did not say a word. This was when Gu Fei, Young Master Han, Southern Lone Blade, and the others also turned up at the entrance, one after the other. They made a racket by asking Ye Xiaowu to come out and rectify them, nearly causing the ex-game employee to vomit blood.

”Everyone here?” Young Master Han looked around and did a headcount.

”Royal isn't back yet,” Brother Assist pointed out.

They were all quiet before he looked around. ”Who's gonna fetch him?”

”I'll do it!” Glue offered. Players with the same job class would often prefer to look after one another.

”Okay.” Young Master Han nodded before he fired off a message to Royal God Call. ”Where are you?”

”On my way.” Royal God Call was still persevering.

”Give me your coordinates, then stop moving.” Young Master Han did not have the patience to wait for the man to find his way over on his own.

Royal God Call told him his coordinates before asking, ”It's really near, huh?”

”F*ck you!” Young Master Han cursed. He then relayed the coordinates to Glue. Glue was also stunned. ”How did he get himself there?” With that, he ran off to fetch the lost lamb. The coordinates Royal God Call had given were in an entirely different direction from where the Priest Academy was. People not in the know would never have guessed that he had lost his way trying to get to the Priest Academy.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”So what are we doing next?” Everyone felt that it was meaningless to continue glaring at Ye XIaowu with contempt, so they asked Young Master Han what their next step of the plan was. Southern Lone Blade and the others were convinced after this battle that they were fortunate not to be on the other side of the fence, going up against this person. With these two indomitable figures in Young Master's Elite, it was no wonder they managed to emerge as champions in the mercenary PvP group tournament in Yunduan City, beating a hundred players with just six men. What they depended on was not luck, but their true strength. Even though Southern Lone Blade's team of seven was rather confident with themselves, they would not exactly be as self-assured if they went up against a hundred players at once.

”Next…” Young Master Han turned to ask Ye Xiaowu and the two men. ”You guys are logging off, right?”

The three were morose, not giving them the answer to the question.

”If you guys don't log off, your comrades can mount a rescue for you all and then we can set up another ambush again. Ask them if they dare to brave this once more!” Young Master Han said.

”Goading us won't work.” The cook Old Wu was still rather composed.

”I'm not trying to goad you into action.” Young Master Han scornfully regarded them. ”I'm merely asking if they're coming or not; we've still got people here who are in a hurry to log out!”

”It's still early; I'm not in any rush,” Gu Fei hurriedly interjected.
