As expected!
When the new coordinates popped up, he compared them to the previous coordinates. Sure enough, Lord Grim was moving towards the gap in their formation. From the time that had passed, Lord Grim had changed his direction very early and very resolutely. It was as if he had known that there would be a gap in their formation.
Wind Following Sword hastily sent out messages to nearby players to fill in the gap. Looking at the distance, there was still enough time. However, this sudden change of command had created a gap in other areas that no one was controlling. Based on the direction that Lord Grim was moving towards, Wind Following Sword should have gone to the areas that Lord Grim had left behind to fill in the gaps. This was how the Spinning Spiderweb Formation operated.
But just as he finished sending out the messages and let out a sigh of relief, he received Lord Grim's new coordinates. When Wind Following Sword opened the message, his head immediately exploded.
Lord Grim had changed directions again!
The orders that he had just given out were now meaningless. Lord Grim's new direction of advance was precisely a fault in their formation.
Wind Following Sword didn't have time to worry about anything else and hastily sent out another message. This time, to fill in the gaps, he had to send out even more messages. Wind Following Sword did his utmost to increase his hand speed, but he didn't use it to play the game, but rather to type. His character was still in Congee City. He didn't have time to move a single step.
In Sin City, Lord Grim was running straight ahead.
No one understood the workings of the Spinning Spiderweb Formation better than Ye Xiu. In reality, he didn't know who was giving out orders in Excellent Dynasty. However, after running around randomly for an hour, in Chen Guo's eyes, Ye Xiu was actually observing his opponents.
After an hour of observation, Ye Xiu had figured out how many people were in the other side's formation. Then, according to the positions of the characters, he gradually grasped how the other side's Spinning Spiderweb Formation worked.
Ye Xiu already knew how the 24 Tyrannical Ambition players were distributed around him. After that, Ye Xiu could already deduce how the other party would respond to every move they made.
However, he still needed to confirm. After all, if the person who set up the formation was different, the method and habits of the deployment might not be the same as what he deduced. Ye Xiu was especially worried that the other party was not skilled enough. If that was the case, his overly serious deduction would backfire on him. However, if that was the case, it would be easier to break the formation. It wouldn't require too much skill.
However, after a few rounds of probing, Ye Xiu discovered that his opponent was quite capable. His understanding and control of the Coiling Spiral Formation could be considered to have reached the point of perfection.
Unfortunately, even so, the Coiling Spiral Formation was not invulnerable. As the creator of the Coiling Spiral Array, even if there were no flaws, Ye Xiu could create them.
And this flaw, perhaps it should not be called a flaw, but a natural flaw of the Coiling Spiral Formation.
This flaw existed in the direction of the commander. Because the requirements for the commander were too precise, every change had to be made to every character. When the situation changed quickly, the commander would be too busy to handle it.
And Lord Grim, the prey in the Coiling Spiral Formation, happened to be the one who could set the pace.
After Ye Xiu understood his opponent's formation, he immediately began to plan his actions. Killing Wind Following Sword was the first step of his plan.
After Wind Following Sword was killed, there would be a temporary vacuum. The commander would definitely make some adjustments to this area. And from here on out, the changes in the formation would be completely controlled by Ye Xiu.
Even though he wasn't the commander, from a certain perspective, he was the one who guided the formation. The changes in the formation's positioning were all determined by him. And at this moment, Ye Xiu took the initiative. He used his own planned actions to guide the other side's actions. He continuously changed the rhythm of the formation, which would eventually magnify the other side's flaw and reveal a flaw.
Reveal a flaw? That was intentional, but the flaw wasn't big enough. Continue changing!
Even though Ye Xiu didn't have an electronic map to control the overall situation, his mind was clearer than an electronic map. The points on the electronic map were all dead, but Ye Xiu's mind was always moving.
"F * ck!!" When Wind Following Sword received the new coordinates, he was so flustered that he didn't even have time to flip a table.
Lord Grim once again charged towards the flaw in the formation he had just created.
The Coiling Spiral Formation shouldn't have a flaw. Why was it like this?
Wind Following Sword hastily gave out new orders, while anxiously thinking. He was also analyzing the entire process step by step to see where the problem had started.
Finally, the image in Wind Following Sword's mind froze.
In the end, he locked onto the scene where he had been killed.
The problem was actually with him! Wind Following Sword suddenly understood. Even though the Coiling Spiral Formation didn't require a precise number of people, it didn't matter if there were more or less people. However, at the moment of his death, there would still be a gap in the layout that was originally set up by the 24 people.
After Wind Following Sword revived, he immediately went to fill in the gap. This gap had only appeared for a very short period of time.
But from the looks of it, he had failed. He wasn't able to fill in the gap. Instead, the gap grew bigger and bigger. Until the gap on the electronic map could be seen at a glance.
Up until then, Wind Following Sword was still at a loss. And now, after seeing Lord Grim so accurately charge towards the gap in the formation time and time again, he finally understood.
This wasn't a coincidence!
The other side had purposely created this situation.
Ye Qiu! He should have been the prey in the spider's web, but he had already turned the tables. Right now, he was the one guiding the web.
As for himself? Even though he clearly knew the situation, he still couldn't do anything about it.
Wind Following Sword hastily sent out a few orders, but it was still the same. There was still a gap in his Coiling Spiral Formation, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger.
Not good!! Wind Following Sword's forehead was already covered in sweat. He wasn't fighting, but his hands were tapping on the keyboard so intensely that it sounded like a battle.
I can't make it in time!!
Wind Following Sword suddenly realized that he had to make so many adjustments. By the time he finished sending out these orders, would he still be able to keep Lord Grim in the formation?
Wind Following Sword was nervous and anxious, but his fingers didn't stop.
Just a little bit more, just a little bit more!!
Wind Following Sword cheered himself on.
Wind Following Sword had sent out a total of 17 orders out of the 23 players in the formation.
From looking at each player's position, to determining each player's movement direction, to sending out orders, this wasn't something that could be done easily. After sending out these 17 commands, Wind Following Sword felt as if his fingers were cramping up and his head was starting to hurt.
But then, a new message popped up … …
No way!!
Wind Following Sword felt a wave of despair. Every time he finished sending out orders, someone would update him with Lord Grim's new coordinates. It looked like there would be another wave of work. How many times had this happened already?
Wind Following Sword opened up the message with his cramping fingers. Tears immediately streamed down his cheeks.
Sure enough!
Lord Grim had changed his route again. Wind Following Sword didn't even need to look at the map to confirm. This was because he already had experience. Lord Grim would definitely rush to the most empty spot. Where was the empty spot? How could the person who set up the formation not know where Sword Qi Follows Everywhere pointed? He didn't want to leave this kind of empty spot, but there was nothing he could do. The crack that had appeared because of his death continued to grow bigger and bigger under Lord Grim's charge.
Wind Following Sword hoped that he could have some time to fill in the gap, but he didn't. Lord Grim's actions didn't give him that opportunity. In other words, up until now, Wind Following Sword's Coiling Spiral Formation hadn't finished changing from a 24 player formation to a 23 player formation.
Everything had started when he died.
Wind Following Sword had no choice but to brace himself and persevere.
Think, judge, give out orders. His head hurt even more. His fingers almost didn't belong to him anymore. This time, Wind Following Sword had a total of 19 players.
This was a contest! Wind Following Sword knew very well that even though there was no opponent in his line of sight, the red dot on the map was fiercely arm-wrestling with him on the other side of the map. This wasn't the same as when they had first started. They couldn't just command everyone to circle around Lord Grim anymore. At this moment, Lord Grim was constantly attacking and tearing apart the net he had set up.
It won't break!!
19 messages. Wind Following Sword had sent them all! He had done it! In this instant, he was brimming with confidence because he had completed an extreme challenge. Before this, he definitely wouldn't have believed that he would be able to complete all of this in such a short amount of time. This was simply a magnificent feat.
Sure enough, potential needed to be stimulated by a strong opponent. Wind Following Sword looked at the red dot on the map, as well as another gap in the map. Even if Lord Grim rushed over, he wouldn't be too flustered because he had already completed an extreme challenge. He was full of confidence and felt that he could deal with any situation that came after. He was already completely prepared.
Wind Following Sword braced himself and waited for the news to come. He waited for the coordinates that had made him so depressed before to update. This time, after building up his confidence, he suddenly liked this type of challenge.
Wind Following Sword waited and waited. But this time, the news that had made him go crazy didn't come.
Wind Following Sword began to take the initiative to ask the people that Lord Grim had set up. One, two, three … … he asked them one by one, but in the end, he didn't see them.
Wind Following Sword was dumbfounded.
If the Coiling Spiral Formation didn't know where the prey was, then that meant: the prey had already escaped the net.
