800 Chapter 800 - Back again (2/2)
The other babylegged job classes were so mad that they nearly felt like vomiting blood. Splitting up meant Thousand Miles Drunk could at most catch just 1 of them out of the 9, and while it was true that this would result in the highest proportion of players having the chance to escape, but no matter the case, the ones in danger would most definitely be someone from among the babylegged job classes. Those two would hardly be in any danger given their movement speed, so they were naturally very happy to call for the others to split up.
Sure enough, Gu Fei ignored the two of them with their fast movement speed, directly making a beeline toward the Warrior amid the babylegged players left. That Warrior yelled out ”Let's stand united and hold our ground”, while the others responded to him with a ”Best of luck, bro”, before sprinting off in the farthest direction from that Warrior.
”You guys have no sense of loyalty at all!” That Warrior chastised.
”A pointless sacrifice is just a waste. Today's retreat is so done for the greater advancement of tomorrow!” All these players who had abandoned the Warrior were still reciting platitudes!
Tears streaked down that Warrior's cheeks as he lifted his weapon to receive the incoming Gu Fei. There was nothing exciting about the exchange of attacks between the two either, as he very peacefully got killed off by Gu Fei's blade. It was only when he looked around after his respawn did he realize that he was not actually sent to the spawn point, but the Jail.
”A Bounty Mission?” This Warrior was elated at this prospect. Compared to losing 2 levels, getting sent to spend some time in Jail was a much more preferred punishment. Looking around, he however discovered that in the corner of the cell that he was in, there was a Thief quietly sitting there. The life of a convict was a boring one behind bars, and all he could depend on was for players to while the time away by chatting to one another. The Warrior immediately stepped forward and used the age-old line fellow inmates would use to break the ice, ”Bro, how many hours?”
”39,” this other man very quietly answered.
”Ah…” the Warrior opened his mouth wide. For someone to have such a high PK value, it was very almost a guarantee that he did not turn himself in, and was most likely someone who had been sent over. This Warrior immediately thought of one such person, and continued to get even closer, ”Were you sent here by Thousand Miles Drunk?”
That player nodded.
The Warrior had managed to find a common talking point, and immediately began to lambast Thousand Miles Drunk, yet that player simply silently stared at him, neither smiling nor saying a word.
Could he be so angered to the point he became mute? The Warrior silently thought to himself, eyeing that weird man once again before he quietly found a corner to wait things out as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------
After Gu Fei completed his Bounty Mission, he was surprised to find that the others had actually run off. This situation was entirely different from how he had imagined, as he had even thought that his attempt here would draw the desperate resistance from the whole team. By then, that 1 PK point that he managed to remove would have turned into an 8 point increase, but how would he have expected for these men to just scatter into the winds instead. He would end up taking the initiative to inflate his PK Value if he were to continue hunting these men down, so should he go for it or not?
Gu Fei was very conflicted, but upon further thought, he felt that he should not miss out on such an opportunity to deal this sort of blow to the enemy guild, so he should not be showing them mercy and nitpicking over his PK Value at this time. Kill, he must kill them!
Gu Fei turned toward another target and gave chase accordingly. A babylegs Against Gu Fei, it was only a matter of time before the latter caught up to the former. When that player saw that escape was no longer possible, he very disappointedly came to a stop. Gu Fei dashed right up to the man and asked, ”Which guild are you from?” Gu Fei realized that the enemy was not wearing their guild emblem.
”Cloud Herder,” the man replied.
”I won't kill you if you leave your guild,” Gu Fei said.
The man was stunned for a moment, before doubt settled in. Any player in the know was of course aware that in their struggle with Extremely Heaven Defying, Thousand Miles Drunk was now fighting eye for an eye!
Leaving the guild would save his life. That man hesitated for a brief moment before finally nodding his head, ”I've already left the guild.”
”Oh? What's your name?” Gu Fei asked.
”Trampling Elephant,” the man answered.
”Ah, what a meaningful name,” Gu Fei chuckled as he very swiftly sent a message out to Drifting, ”Search this man's name: Trampling Elephant.”
It was as if the magnificent Mage Drifting had now been reduced to a mere clerk that was constantly being dispatched for tasks by Gu Fei. He felt insulted, yet he could not just refuse to do it. Flipping through the reference books for the name, he soon came back with a reply, ”Level 41 player. Knight. Cloud Herder guild. What's the matter?”
”He's still in Cloud Herder?”
”Yup.”
”Are you certain?”
”Yup. What about it?”
”Check again.”
”What are you being such a nag for?”
”Fine then!”
”Just what exactly are you on about?”
”He's going to die.”
”Oh,” Drifting continued to bury his head and work on his assignment.
”How childish. Do you think you can try and pull a fast one over me? You had not even left your guild at all,” Gu Fei criticized Trampling Elephant and lashed out with his sword in hand, slaying that man where he stood.
Trampling Elephant died without even understanding what happened. How was he suddenly so certain about me lying? Do we have a traitor in our midst? That must be it! Trampling Elephant hurriedly reported what happened to his guild leader that there was a spy from Extremely Heaven Defying inside their guild, or that someone had already been bought.
”I've been betrayed by someone!!!” Trampling Elephant was bawling his eyes out. ”Otherwise, I wouldn't have died. Guild leader, you must call the shots here!”
”I know…” Foe-herder was a little vexed that Thousand Miles Drunk had actually started targeting his guild. As for the guild having a spy, was that even considered a secret? Any guild that did not have at least a handful of traitors would probably feel embarrassed to even call themselves a large guild. It was just that Extremely Heaven Defying had only been established not too long ago, and Foe-herder was quite surprised that they had actually so quickly and effectively made such a move. From what I can recall, pretty much everyone in my guild had joined before Extremely Heaven Defying was established! Someone must have been bribed, that was the only possibility. Those guys were rich, after all! Foe-herder thought to himself.
”Just what is that guy going to do?” Black Index Finger and the other guild leaders in their coalition were also having a headache over this at the moment. They were vexed when Thousand Miles Drunk had left Yueye City, but the players who had picked up Thousand Miles Drunk's 180 PK Value Bounty Mission had all discovered the change in his coordinates placed him back in Yunduan City again. Of course, they were still as vexed as ever now that he was back.
They had already arranged the manpower necessary for their plan by this time to surround and kill Thousand Miles Drunk, yet the man had unexpectedly been the one to take the initiative to launch an attack instead.
”Could he have already anticipated that we would set up a schedule for rotation, so he ran all the way out to the wilds to make his move against our players who are grinding?”
”If that is the case, he might not be the only one who came back!”
”D*mm*t, quick get all the players grinding outside to gather. Don't split up!”
”F*ck. If this were to carry on, how are we even going to play this game?” The complaints and grumbling began piling up once again.
