Chapter 204: It's hard to distinguish between fiction and reality
"It's certainly unrealistic to force Steen, and with his personality, he won't be working with Ezio even if he doesn't play the game anymore. Wren's words...... "Anna mused, "and if you play a little trick and put him in a more awkward position, I think he might work with us." ”
"Well, this kind of villain is obviously more likely to see the wind and make the rudder." Xia Chiyu nodded.
"So, what are you going to do?" Su Xing took a small bite of cake and asked.
Anna pursed her red lips and said, "Now I can only let the four of you pretend to attack Lardy the Mind Eater before Steen." I'll create an opportunity for you later, but beware, he may have a lot of men. ”
"You're saying you're going to deliberately let him bring fewer men, but enough to deal with the situation, and make him feel that this mission wasn't intended to succeed in the first place?" Gu Qinyan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Well, that's a fitting summary." Anna nodded, "Anyway, let him think that I might be involved in this matter, but it looks like a trick played by Steen the Marauder." In short, it makes him suspicious of everyone. ”
Hearing this, Reis frowned, hesitated and said, "But ......"
"Don't worry, he is already very suspicious, and such a little trick is enough to make him suspicious of everyone around him. He never trusted anyone anyway. Anna smiled and gestured "OK". But Lacey sighed and said, "I didn't want to ask this, in this case, you will also be suspected by Radi, right?" In case ......"
"If he gives me ......," said Anna, slicing her thumb across her neck, "no, I've been with him for so long, and he won't do anything against me if he's suspicious." What's more, don't underestimate a woman's ability to lie, he will definitely be deceived by me. And even if you do it, it's fine, it's just a game. ”
After speaking. Anna smiled and patted Lacey's head, "Well, but you're such a good boy." ”
"So let's do it, but we'll have to change our bodies and change our play a little bit, otherwise that guy's men will immediately find out that we're the ones who attacked him when they see the four of us." Gu Qinyan replied, "Do you guys have any other ways to fight?" ”
"Don't worry, I can pretend to be a bit lame Thunder and Fire Dual Cultivator." Xia Chiyu said lightly.
"I can also use a one-handed sword and shield instead." Reis also replied.
Gu Qinyan waved his hand and explained, "I can also fight with a two-handed sword. ”
Su Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "Me...... There is a fish-eating elemental fusion theorem, and I can also use other elemental systems. But I haven't used much magic from other departments, so let's try to imitate the way you usually play when eating fish. ”
"But, you ......," said Anna, with some concern. Laddy has a few pretty powerful guys under him, and if you four don't fight in your own way, you're likely to be killed. ”
"It's impossible to kill us," Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, and began to replace it with another two-handed giant sword, "Of course, it's best to directly deal with this guy if you can fake it, and if you can't, it's no problem to get out of it." ”
"The question is, can you give us such an opportunity?" Xia Chiyu held his chin and ate the last small piece of soul melody and asked. "A chance for Laddie to go out with a handful of men?"
"Isn't there still an Assassin Guild? Let them be bold and directly reveal that they are members of the League of Assassins, and then Laddy will naturally suspect that they are members of the Thieves Association and want to set the blame. Anna winked and smiled.
So, Xia Chiyu and the four of them then sent it back to the guild. Then I found a clothing store and changed a set of transmogrification.
"Poof, what kind of thing are you, it's like an Indian San." Xia Chiyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Qinyan's head holding a thick turban, but Gu Qinyan said angrily: "I've seen some guys in the thieves' association who like to wear this kind of clothes before. This may remind them of the Thieves' Guild...... Don't laugh,! ”
Seeing that Gu Qinyan was rarely exploding, Xia Chiyu and the three had to temporarily change the topic.
Xia Chiyu was now dressed in the red robe of a fire mage. Awakening, on the other hand, changed into the yellow robe of an earth mage, and Lacey only replaced the giant shield behind his back with a medium-sized shield and one-handed sword.
All three of them were mainly changing their fighting styles, and only Gu Qinyan used that silly transformation.
"Okay, next, hide your guild name and player name, as well as your level." Xia Chiyu said, putting on the hood of the robe, and Gu Qinyan and the three of them also showed their helmets, so that they could not be recognized.
At this time, because it was daytime, there were not many people in their guild, and after Xia Chiyu and the four of them changed transformations, no one recognized them at all. They then sent back to District 26, and after about half an hour, news came from Anna's side.
"Listen, you're waiting outside Area 26, at coordinates 38.74. Laddy will pass by with a few of his men this afternoon to make deals with a few of his patrons. Because he wanted to save the ten percent commission from the guys in the Red Dragon Guild, he wouldn't bring too many people. Anna reminded in a whisper, "Also, I'll go with me." ”
"Got it." Xia Chiyu replied, then looked back at Gu Qinyan and the three of them: "Let's go, guys, go to ambush." ”
The location Anna chose was quite good, it was a relatively narrow desert path, with huge rocks tens of meters high on both sides, and there were many large and small caves everywhere, full of places for ambush, and of course, it was also very hidden.
"Hiding in this kind of place, I'm starting to feel like a red player who kills people and sells goods." Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan hid in one of the larger caves and couldn't help muttering, while Reis and Su Xing were in the rock wall opposite them. With a slight poke of their heads, they could see the crowd passing by.
However, where this kind of bird doesn't, the monsters that infest it are extremely dangerous, and not many people are willing to walk from this place. This also deterred a lot of low-level and novice players, and of course, further desolate the map, where they waited for twenty minutes without seeing a single other player.
"Oh, look, there's a copy over there." Xia Chiyu pointed to a faintly visible white fog door in the distance and said. "This kind of desolate place is good, there are so many copies, I dare to say that I can find other dungeons in the future, but I don't know the level ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, an arthropod creature resembling a giant centipede came out of the ground in the distance, and then dragged it up the ground for a while, and then drilled back under the ground, near the door of the dungeon, thirty or forty meters long, to say the least.
"I think that's why that copy hasn't been wiped out yet." Gu Qinyan snorted and laughed, and Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders. Then he glanced down, and his expression was stern: "Hey, it seems to have arrived." ”
Gu Qinyan poked his head out and glanced at the side where Xia Chiyu was looking, a team of people, about twelve or thirteen people, came from the distant path. At a glance, they could see the glamorous woman in the bright red aristocratic dress inside, which must have been the "clear signal" that Anna had told them before.
"There are so many people, and they don't seem to be of a low rank." Xia Chiyu muttered to himself. "It's up to Ezio."
Although it is visible to the naked eye, it is actually some distance away from them. The group advanced for a while, and just as they were about to enter the entrance to the canyon, a group of people suddenly came out from both sides.
"Uh-huh. Here it comes. Gu Qinyan lowered his eyelids, and said with a rather lazy expression.
A quick exchange of fire ensued when the two men came into contact, though it was clear that the Assassin League was not trying to kill Radi. Instead, Raddy's team was cut in half from the middle. Xia Chiyu could see at a glance that several of the people on Anna's side were quite agile. They fought and retreated, but the Assassin League had the upper hand. I had to retreat to this side of the canyon.
Seeing this, the Assassin Alliance did not rush to chase after it, but first turned back to deal with the group of people who were intercepted at the entrance of the canyon. Seeing this, Gu Qinyan snorted coldly and said: "Is the acting very realistic, pretending to deal with the people behind first, and then go to the front to pursue." However, presumably Laddie's gang should have guessed that someone would intercept it in front, right? ”
"Anyway, it's almost our turn." Xia Chiyu said, standing up, "Oh, oh my God." I really hate the big red robe, so I didn't play with fire in the first place......"
This is a man with a dragon tattoo on his face, he is majestic, wearing a black jacket, and he looks like a big brother in the underworld, and his ID is "Laddy", but he is not a real-name player, and he is level eighty-seven. Contrary to his outfit, he wore a one-handed sword that seemed to be made of the backbone of a human being, and the sword body emitted white mist and black points of light, which looked a little hideous.
"Boss, it seems like you've got rid of them." Behind the tattooed man, a skinny eighty-third knight with a huge shield named "Gibson" behind him looked at the retreating assassins behind him, and reported to Laddy with a flat face.
"Hmph, don't take it lightly, since the other party doesn't chase after us, it obviously means that someone in front of us will intercept us." Radi said coldly, glanced back at Anna who was following behind, and said, "Anna, sue me, you have nothing to do with this." ”
Anna followed behind in a panic with her head covered, and when she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "What...... I! Of course it has nothing to do with it! Why do you think I've got something to do with this!? ”
"Then you say," said Laddie, grabbing Anna by the hair and dragging her in front of her, and Anna screamed in pain and was pulled over. Radi continued to say coldly: "Why did you persuade me to trade today, and we were immediately attacked? ”
"How do I know!? I've been attacked, too! Besides, can't it be that your subordinates leaked it? Anna covered her hair aggrievedly and said, "What's more, why should I send someone to assassinate you?" Without you, I wouldn't be enough to convince the others, they would only raise the bar with me, and if you fall, they will immediately take my place! ”
Raddie narrowed his eyes, his expression softened slightly, and let Anna go: "Hmph, that's what I said." ”
Immediately, Radi continued to lead the team forward: "Give me attention, it is likely that there are ambushes waiting for us in front!" ”
As soon as the words fell, four figures fell in front of them, and there was a loud bang, and a puff of dust spread out in front of them.
"The villain is here." Xia Chiyu sneered, and the dust gradually dispersed.
"Oh?" Laddy glanced at the four of them with interest, and a look of disdain flashed on his face: "I thought that the people waiting for me in front of me would be a little different from the gang in front, but I didn't expect that it was a rat who didn't even dare to show his name." ”
"Say whatever you want," Xia Chiyu smiled faintly, "Although I think that as a last word, these words are a bit inappropriate." But ......" said. Xia Chiyu shrugged. At this time, there were only five people behind Radi and Anna, in addition to Radi and Anna, one was the knight named Gibson before, the second was an eighty-first level assassin named Letty who chewed bubble gum, and the last one was an eighty-second level swordsman named Cafu with a dull expression on the pineapple head.
"If you don't mind, you can step back if you're not the target, and killing you won't give us any extra reward." Gu Qinyan said in an extraordinarily elegant tone, and Xia Chiyu and the three of them all looked at him with a little surprise. But Gu Qinyan immediately glared at them fiercely, and they had no choice but to continue acting.
"Hmph." Laddie let out a chuckle. Then he waved at Anna and took two steps back with her, while the other three took a step forward. Laddy then said coldly: "Then let's see if you can come to my side first." ”
Xia Chiyu and the four of them looked at each other, and seemed to think that this was a little funny.
"Then let's try it." Xia Chiyu said, took the staff from his back and swung it around, and a circle of flames pushed forward in front of him like ocean waves. Gibson immediately removed his shield from his back and pushed forward a shield-shaped light. The flames were immediately dispersed by the shield-shaped light, and Gibson immediately took a stance. Raising his shield and charging at them.
"Meet my men!" Laddy smirked, "Humanoid barrier, Gibson." Hey, Gibson. How many of them do you think you can handle? ”
"Well, two." Gibson thought for a moment and said seriously, "Those two mages on the left. Leave it to me with the knight in the back. The rest of the one, you can do whatever you want. ”
"By the way, that's three people, right?" Cafu said a little helplessly. The man had bronzed skin, a medium but sturdy build, and carried two one-handed swords, one black and one white, on his back.
"Whatever, I'm going to be with the boss to protect him anyway." Letty said, blowing a bubble and taking a step back, standing beside Laddie, and muttering to herself, "Actually, I'm just troublesome, and it's enough to have them anyway." ”
Xia Chiyu looked at Reis, and Reis nodded, grabbed the medium-sized shield and one-handed sword and headed towards Gibson.
"Don't get in the way." Gibson narrowed his eyes slightly, said a little impatiently, and then swung his shield at Lacey. Lacey took a stance and parried with his medium shield, "Boom! A melodious bell rang, and Rayce was shocked and stepped back. Gibson immediately threw out his shield at him, and another shield of fighting energy struck out.
"This guy, is he actually attacking with a shield? The main offensive type of big shield knight, this is really different......" Xia Chiyu thought secretly, the staff hit the ground, and an electric snake swam over from the ground.
"Cafu, you go deal with those two." Laddie said to the swordsman named Kafu.
"Yes, boss." Kafu answered, took the two swords from behind his back, and then stared at Su Xing and Gu Qinyan.
"Ahh What skills should I use? Su Xing hesitated, and then with a wave of his hand, he released a shuttle of ice arrows, and Kafu's twin swords danced, shattering the oncoming ice arrows one after another.
"This guy, do you think that the style of play is very similar to yours?" Su Xing immediately raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Qinyan, moving to the side. Gu Qinyan snorted coldly: "Shut up, you will only expose our identity, idiot." ”
Wake shrugged his shoulders and raised his hand at Kafu, several hideous vines growing from Kafu's feet and winding around him. But Kafu reacted very quickly, and before the vines could emerge from under the ground, but before they could entangle him, he quickly swung his sword to cut off all the vines, and then struck at Gu Qinyan, his two swords intertwined.
"Ping!" With a soft sound, Kafu blocked Gu Qinyan's giant sword with his double sword, and then immediately withdrew his double sword and attacked Gu Qinyan from the side. Gu Qinyan suddenly frowned and took a step back to widen the distance, but Cafu immediately caught up. Gu Qinyan's giant sword swept, and Kafu still quickly used his double sword to block this sword, and then went around Gu Qinyan's side.
"This guy...... What a quick reflex nerve! Gu Qinyan secretly said to himself with some surprise, generally speaking, players will have a very short confrontation time after close contact with each other, in fact, it is not because the two sides are fighting for strength or something, but thinking about the next move. It's a game after all, and the players are just amateurs, not real swordsmen and fighters.
Therefore, the average player will stalemate with the opponent for a while after a short encounter, on the one hand, it is also to guess the opponent's next step, and on the other hand, it is also to plan their own next step. But Kafu, a swordsman, as long as the two sides are in close contact, will launch the next attack in an instant, and the ultra-fast transition between attack and defense will give Gu Qinyan not much time to think about his next move.
Awakening also discovered this, so at the moment when Cafu caught up with the pursuit, he raised his hand at Kafu, and a circle of magic circles appeared from under Kafu's feet. But Kafu paused for a moment, and then, like a waltz, he dodged the ice dragon rising out of the magic circle with a dexterous turn, and went around to the left rear of Gu Qinyan, and the long sword was thrown towards Gu Qinyan.
However, due to the delay in awakening, Gu Qinyan had already reacted, and spun his body with the giant sword in his hand, slashing out with a whirlwind. Kafu staggered his swords to block, but the blow was strong, and he was immediately shocked and retreated.
"Oops?" Cafu was slightly surprised, but then his figure flashed, a flash in mid-air.
"It's not good...... Gu Qinyan exclaimed secretly, and sure enough, Kafu moved to the side of the awakening. Of course, he is not worried about the safety of the awakening, but he is afraid that the awakening will use his own skills in a hurry, the skills of the four of them are quite distinctive, once they are exposed here, they will definitely not be able to make an appearance in front of Laddy and his group in the future, maybe it will affect the future plan.
"What are you doing!?" Awakening shouted angrily, with a wave of his hand, a circle of vines rose from under his feet, turning into a shield and wrapping him inside, Kafu suddenly shuddered, and his action suddenly stagnated, the vines had completely protected Awakening in it, he had to step on this vine, turned over and jumped towards Gu Qinyan to attack.
However, after only a few moments, Su Xing and Gu Qinyan were both suppressed by Cafu in a downwind state, which made Anna in the back a little frightened. Although he knew that Xia Chiyu and the four of them did not use their original skills, this was the first time she had seen the strength of the three guards that Laddy never left her, but she didn't expect it to be so strong.
She subconsciously looked at Lacey and Xia Chiyu, and at this moment Gibson just waved his shield and smashed it on Xia Chiyu, Xia Chiyu's health dropped suddenly, and he was smashed and flew backwards.
Reis, who was on the side, hurriedly caught up with Xia Chiyu with a star shift to avoid being further pursued by the other party, but Gibson did not catch up, but looked at his side, and then smashed his shield on the ground. Four shield-shaped fighting qi struck out with him as the center, one of them hit Xia Chiyu, Xia Chiyu and Reis accelerated and retreated, while the other flew towards Gu Qinyan.
"What?" Gu Qinyan was taken aback and immediately dodged, but at this time Kafu had already caught up.
"Oh, I've been tricked." Kafu smiled slightly, arched his hands back, and his twin swords were ready to be stabbed, "Death mark ......"
Immediately, Kafu's double swords stabbed Gu Qinyan's left shoulder and right knee respectively, Gu Qinyan snorted, but he gritted his teeth and did not kneel down on one knee, but stumbled. Seeing this, Kafu seemed a little surprised, and the twin swords continued to stab.
Kafu's long sword continued to stab Gu Qinyan's shoulders, legs, waist, ribs and other non-lethal points, and finally he danced his double swords, danced the long sword in his hand, held it upside down in his hand, and laughed softly: "Death Star Elephant ......"
A few points of light flashed from Gu Qinyan's body, and then Gu Qinyan snorted, and his health value was deducted by as much as sixty percent in an instant! Seeing this, he woke up and hurriedly screamed that it was not good, waved his hand and summoned a few vines to drag Gu Qinyan back, and then dragged Reis and Xia Chiyu back, and replied with a smile: "Retreat for the time being, save your dog's life for later!" ”
But then Laddy let out a loud chuckle and nodded to Letty beside her. Letty nodded in understanding, and she sighed, "Do you think I'm going to let you leave like this?" ”
As he spoke, Letty's figure split into four in mid-air, and then surrounded Xia Chiyu and the four of them from four directions. (To be continued......)
