Deception was hiding in a thicket. Let alone the fog, even if there wasn't any fog, he would still be completely hidden. After the broadcast showed a close-up of Deception, the viewers had to spend a lot of effort to find his figure in the thicket.
However, this sort of concealment was somewhat deceptive. It was easy for people to miss it if they didn't look carefully, but for summons determined by the system, there was no such deception. As long as a corner of Deception's clothes appeared in the thicket, the summons would definitely notice it.
Mo Fan had been able to escape from the summons' map search last time, so he clearly knew that summons had better judgement than the player. He had hidden Deception in the bushes in order to ambush Eight Notes, but seeing that Eight Notes still hadn't shown himself, he knew that to a summon, hiding was the same as not hiding. As a result, he immediately came out from the bushes.
To avoid summons, you had to completely avoid their line of sight. Compared to avoiding the line of sight of creature summons, dealing with spirit summons was more troublesome. Spirit summons were formed from elemental essences. Their front, back, left, and right were symmetrical. They didn't have noses and eyes like creatures, so their line of sight was extremely difficult to determine. Like avoiding players, while running, half of one's head would pop out from a corner from time to time to take a peek wasn't advisable. A person might not notice half a head due to a moment of carelessness, but summons definitely wouldn't. Creature summons might be able to take a peek because they knew they were behind the opponent, but spirit summons shouldn't even think about it. Their line of sight wouldn't be able to distinguish between right and wrong, so if they took a peek, they might be discovered by the spirit.
As a result, to avoid spirit summons, one had to be fast and couldn't hesitate. Hiding one's own movements as much as possible was far better than observing the opponent's movements and then making a plan.
And that was what Mo Fan did. After Deception came out from the thicket, his movements weren't very fast, but they were very small and stealthy. His character spent 80% of the time crouching or even lying on the ground.
"This should really be recorded and used as a stealthy movement video tutorial!" Seeing Mo Fan's Deception, Li Yibo couldn't help but praise.
As for Li Yuan?
Li Yuan was still unhurried.
After Deception's Shadow Clone ended, he had actually lost his sense of direction, but the summons he had placed before had all reached their designated positions. Afterwards, he didn't do anything unnecessary. Eight Notes looked like he was just casually moving in a certain direction.
Soon, the elves stopped moving. The elemental light emitted by the spirits flickered faintly in the thicket. At this time, they no longer looked like they were chasing after a target. They were like landmines, like traps, hiding in the dense fog of the forest, quietly waiting for their hunting target to come knocking on their door.
"Brilliant!" Li Yibo suddenly shouted.
"Ah?"
"Li Yuan's method is much more effective than actively searching and shrinking space. In the visible environment of this map, the judgment of the human eye would definitely be inferior to the judgment of the Summoned Beast's system. The motionless Spirit would definitely be able to react faster than Mo Fan. . "Li Yibo yelled." The way Mo Fan dodges the summons greatly reduces his own vision. "
"I've got it!" At this moment, Pan Lin noticed the change in the situation.
As Deception lowered his body and dashed between two trees, a Light Spirit hidden in the fog suddenly moved. With extreme precision, it moved in the direction that Deception had escaped from.
"He's been caught. Mo Fan doesn't seem to have noticed!" Pan Lin shouted.
Deception was still paying attention to concealment. He charged forward, oblivious to the Light Spirit chasing after him.
"But spirits aren't as fast as characters. If Li Yuan doesn't move, he might've been shaken off." Li Yibo said.
Would Li Yuan not move?
Of course not!
Of course, the sprites that he sent out were all under his control. At this moment, one of them suddenly moved, and he immediately knew that it must have found the target. On this map, apart from Deception, his summons didn't have any other targets.
Based on this Light Spirit's movements, Li Yuan quickly determined Deception's direction. Immediately, all of the spirits received clear instructions.
The instructions weren't to blindly charge forward. According to the different positions of each sprite, they received different instructions. As for those that were further away, Li Yuan immediately abandoned them. Eight Notes reactivated the summoning circle and summoned new spirits to replace the ones that were further away. Then, with clear instructions, they rushed forward.
The Light Spirit that had bumped into Deception at first was actually shaken off by Deception in the end. But at this moment, two new Light Spirits had already bitten it.
When he had shaken off the Light Spirit, Pan Lin and Li Yibo had analyzed the details. They both believed that Mo Fan had noticed it during the process, so Deception had increased his movement speed in order to shake off the Light Spirit.
He had done it, but now, two more Light Spirits had bitten onto Deception.
"What a brilliant use of stillness!" Li Yibo's commentary for this match was quite good.
In this match, Li Yuan had truly used stillness to stop the Light Spirits. Eight Notes had already summoned a lot of spirits. The eight Small Spirits had all been filled. The Big Spirits had already fused into Ice and Fire. They were scattered across the map, but they weren't in a mess.
Had he gotten inspiration from Ye Xiu's match against Yu Wenzhou in the first round?
Pan Lin and Li Yibo had already taken back their words.
This was Blue Rain's home map, and Li Yuan lived up to his reputation as Team Blue Rain's home player. This map, which seemed to be disadvantageous for Summoners, was fully utilized by him. The summoned spirits were densely packed, turning everything into a trap. Was it important that Mo Fan had the skill to shake them off? Right now, they weren't chasing him. All of the spirits were in position, waiting for Mo Fan's Deception to crash into them.
If this was a normal map, Mo Fan would have plenty of time to shake them off. However, in this map, the visibility was very low. When the two sides met, the distance between them was already quite close. Shaking them off would naturally be much harder.
All of this was fully utilized by Li Yuan. At this point, Blue Rain's arrangement for this group arena had become even clearer.
Yu Wenzhou and Song Xiao, the first two players to fight, did indeed intend to wear down Ye Xiu. With this arrangement, Blue Rain ultimately failed. However, Blue Rain's group arena wasn't just for this purpose. They weren't betting everything on the team competition at the end.
Li Yuan's performance on the field right now was proof of this. After Yu Wenzhou and Song Xiao, Blue Rain's true method of snatching kills in the group arena was used. In the foggy forest environment, after Li Yuan's attack, Eight Notes suddenly appeared incomparably strong. He hadn't even shown himself yet, but the spirits were already pestering Mo Fan until he was exhausted.
After shaking off one, two more came. Before he could shake off the two, a third, a fourth …
None of these were under Li Yuan's command. Instead, he had predicted and waited for them to come. However, in this map, Mo Fan's Deception ran into more and more spirits. In the end, he was entangled to the point where he couldn't move easily.
Substitution Technique, Shadow Clone Technique …
Smoke Bomb, Water Caltrops …
All sorts of escape techniques, all sorts of ninja tools were used, but he couldn't shake them off completely.
Eight Notes' sprites seemed to be endless at this moment. After shaking off one, he would soon encounter a new one.
Compared to Mo Fan's frantic movements, Li Yuan's movements continued to be methodical. The spirits changed positions, changed positions, and summoned substitutes. There was a certain amount of tension. The spirits that had to be replaced weren't completely wasted. At this moment, the four Great Spirits were in position. The spirit army that Mo Fan had to face was growing larger.
"We can't keep going like this!" Li Yibo expressed his opinion.
"Yeah, if we keep going like this, we won't be able to shake them off completely. We'll just be worn down to death …" Pan Lin said. Deception hadn't been completely unscathed the entire time he had been running away. There would always be times when the spirits would come into contact with him. Moreover, the Ice Element Great Spirit's Falling Ice and the Light Element Great Spirit's Lightning were long-ranged attacks.
Thus, at this moment, Deception suddenly stopped moving.
Shuriken!
Deception suddenly attacked. A shuriken flew towards the Light Element Great Spirit on the left. It followed him, but it wasn't in the direction he had been moving, but behind him.
Cicada Double Slash!
Deception rushed out with a ninja blade in one hand and a scabbard in the other. He attacked with both hands.
Zi zi …
The attack hit the two little elves that were attacking from behind, emitting a strange sound that sounded like an electric shock. Spirits were made of elemental particles. They weren't made of flesh and blood. After being hit by all sorts of attacks, the sound effects were all sorts of strange.
Cicada Double Slash's damage wasn't low, and the Little Spirits were extremely fragile. Even though the attack didn't kill them, they had almost no health left.
Flame Cut!
Of these two Little Spirits, one was Ice and one was Dark. None of them were Fire Spirits with high Fire Resistance. If they were Ice Spirits, then their Fire Resistance would be in the negative.
Boom!
As long as they didn't have Fire Resistance, they wouldn't be able to withstand this attack. After the flames fell, the two Little Spirits disintegrated into Elemental Particles. They floated in the flames for a few moments before disappearing.
"Mo Fan isn't running anymore. He's starting to face the spirits head on," Pan Lin said.
"His goal is to force Eight Notes to appear! In this type of battle, if the spirits only rely on their own will, there's no way they can fight against a pro level spirit. The Summoner player has to personally come out and command. That way, Eight Notes will appear in Deception's line of sight … "Li Yibo said.
"It's like this … we can see it. Sure enough, Li Yuan is controlling Eight Notes to move forward," Pan Lin shouted.
At this point in the match, the two characters finally appeared in each other's line of sight for the first time.
"Will Mo Fan just charge forward like this?" Pan Lin shouted.
"Ah, he's charging forward. He's charging forward very decisively!"
