Wind Following Sword now fully understood what it felt like to fall from heaven to hell.
However, letting Lord Grim escape wasn't a big problem. What was truly fatal was that Lord Grim had broken out of the formation. This had completely destroyed Wind Following Sword's confidence. The incomparably enormous self-confidence that he had just built up completely collapsed at this moment.
What he had believed to be a magnificent feat had turned out to be a futile effort. In the end, he hadn't been able to make it in time. By the time he had completed his feat, Lord Grim had already charged out of the hole. He had been too slow.
Wind Following Sword's fingers had truly gone numb.
For a long time, he didn't say anything. He didn't send any messages until someone messaged him.
The Coiling Helix Formation, the word 'helix', meant that the formation would always maintain a kind of rotation. Even if the prey in the formation didn't react violently, the players in the formation still needed to move around. Especially at this moment, Tyrannical Ambition's goal was to clear out all the Christmas thieves around Lord Grim. They obviously needed to move around even more.
After not receiving any orders from the commander, some of the team members had already messaged him.
"Lord Grim is no longer there." When Wind Following Sword replied, he didn't feel embarrassed. He only felt disappointed.
"Ah?"
Wind Following Sword sent out a few more orders. He had the team members shrink back and monitor the area. Sin City's visibility was a bit far. Perhaps Lord Grim had purposely stopped at a certain place and didn't move?
This seemed to be their last ray of hope, but Wind Following Sword didn't have any hope.
This sort of method was too childish. How could the great God Qiu be so naive?
In the end, it was as Wind Following Sword had predicted. Lord Grim was no longer within their Spiralling Spiderweb Formation. Where did he go? They didn't know yet. They had to go and find him.
"We failed … …" Wind Following Sword messaged Chen Yehui.
"Hm?"
"Ye Qiu's Lord Grim has escaped our control." Wind Following Sword said.
"It doesn't matter. You guys still managed to hold him back for more than an hour. During this time, his ranking has been dropping. This is all thanks to you guys. Keep it up!" Chen Yehui said.
Wind Following Sword was a bit startled. Clearly, Chen Yehui didn't really care whether or not Ye Qiu had broken the formation. Even if he had broken through, it had been entangled with him for more than an hour. As long as he maintained this state, it would be fine. This was what Chen Yehui needed.
Wind Following Sword obviously understood this point, but he wasn't in the mood to continue. In his heart, he had already labeled himself as a loser. And now, this loser had to continue being trampled by the other party. How could he be happy about this?
But at least he had achieved his goal … …. Wind Following Sword forced himself not to judge success or failure based on the fact that he had broken the formation. Instead, he interpreted the situation from Chen Yehui's perspective. This type of entanglement was victory! Wind Following Sword said to himself. After replying to Chen Yehui, he once again focused on finding Lord Grim.
Previously, it was because he had been killed that they had broken through. This time, if everyone was a bit more careful, maybe it would be different?
Since he was going to do it, he had to do his best. After Wind Following Sword adjusted his mentality, he adjusted his train of thought. While he was rushing towards Sin City, he had already sent his team members to search for Lord Grim's whereabouts.
Sin City.
Even though Ye Xiu had successfully broken through the Spinning Spiderweb Formation, he knew that this matter wasn't over yet. This was because he knew Excellent Dynasty's goal. They only wanted to create obstacles for him to participate in the event and prevent him from stealing their guild's limelight. This goal was exactly the same as when they had chased after them.
"That's too much! How could such a big guild compete with you? "Chen Guo heard Ye Xiu's words and didn't think much of it.
"As an expert, there's a lot of pressure. Even if you don't want to, you can't help but become an obstacle for the other side. "Ye Xiu sighed. Chen Guo really wanted to slap his head on the table. Even though he was an expert, he didn't need to be so immodest and take it for granted.
"As an expert, you obviously won't be willing to back down?" Chen Guo said.
"Back down? How? Don't tell me I'm not going to do the Christmas quest? "Ye Xiu said.
"Let's change our perspective! For example, you can join Excellent Dynasty! If an expert like you wants to join, they'll definitely welcome you. "Chen Guo felt that her idea was quite good. After all, Excellent Dynasty was her guild. But right now, they were arguing with her friends. Chen Guo didn't feel good about it. If he joined, wouldn't everyone be happy?
Ye Xiu turned his head and glanced at Chen Guo: "Could it be that you were sent by Chen Yehui?" Ye Xiu had used Chen Guo's account before, so he obviously knew that Chen Guo was actually a member of Excellent Dynasty.
"Huh? You know our guild leader?" Chen Guo was astonished.
"Yeah. He's currently in the tenth server!" Ye Xiu said.
"Really? The guild leader went to the tenth server to open up? I was wondering why I rarely saw him in the guild recently. Also, many of the guild's experts are rarely online. Could it be that they all ran to the tenth server? "Chen Guo mumbled.
"Oh? Something like that happened? "Ye Xiu said.
"Yeah! Take a look. "Chen Guo said as she opened up Chasing Haze's guild interface. In the list of guild members, she pointed out many of the gray names for Ye Xiu to see. She even introduced and commented on them. She couldn't help but feel a bit proud. However, when she pointed at Wind Following Sword, she hesitated for a moment.
Ye Xiu listened in silence. In fact, he had heard of some of the names of these people before. He was the former team captain of Excellent Era. If there were any experts in Excellent Dynasty, they would definitely tell the team. This was one of the oldest ways for the pro teams to find talents: from the in-game experts.
The ones that were still in the guild were those who hadn't caught the team's attention after they were inspected. As the team captain, Ye Xiu had done this often. In reality, he was even more familiar with Excellent Dynasty's experts than Chen Guo. Every one of them had an objective evaluation in the Club. Some of them were even evaluated by Ye Xiu. These types of characters would leave an impression.
"So it's like that." Ye Xiu only just realized that Excellent Dynasty had sent out almost all of their forces for the tenth server. They were so determined to win, but unfortunately, he was suppressing the top guilds. If there was oppression, there would be resistance. Ye Xiu didn't feel like there was anything strange about the top guilds' reactions. However, he would continue to compete fiercely with them in a normal manner. Retreat? If he had such thoughts, then Ye Xiu wouldn't have used Lord Grim, who had the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
"So it's like that?" Chen Guo was still asking.
"The Christmas event was in the limelight, unexpectedly dominating the leaderboards from first to fifteenth. So it turns out that Excellent Dynasty had so many experts. No wonder!"
"You can also become one of them!" Chen Guo, who didn't understand the situation, was still trying to persuade him.
"When I really can't do it anymore, I'll consider your suggestion." Ye Xiu smiled.
"Do you want me to say a few words for you? I actually know a few experts. I can say a few words. "Chen Guo's expression wasn't without pride.
Ye Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Someone was showing off their connections from Excellent Era in front of him!
"Okay okay. When the time comes, boss, you have to help!" Ye Xiu didn't laugh at Chen Guo's good intentions.
Chen Guo nodded her head in satisfaction. Then, she looked at Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, who was still wandering around. She couldn't help but say: "I think you should hurry up and think about it! It's been almost two hours. How many Christmas thieves have you killed? "
"Don't worry! You'll be able to use your strength. " Ye Xiu laughed, "If Excellent Dynasty is crying by then, you can go tell Chen Yehui that you can talk to me."
"Talk to you? You're too arrogant! I'll fire you! " Chen Guo reminded Ye Xiu to pay attention to his identity. She was the boss. How could she "talk to" an employee? If I tell you to go east, you go east. That's right!
"Yes yes yes yes!" Ye Xiu nodded his head, but didn't argue. In the end, Chen Guo pointed at his screen and yelled: "Christmas thief! Hurry! "
"I see it." Ye Xiu replied. As Chen Guo spoke, he had already fired a shot. The Christmas thief immediately charged at Lord Grim. In the end, Lord Grim didn't meet it head-on. Instead, he used Aerial Fire and flew up to the roof.
"What are you doing?" Chen Guo didn't understand.
"Isn't there a character for Christmas thieves? It's said that these people are extremely sinister and cruel. They hide their identity to steal the gifts that Santa Claus carefully prepared. So, once they're discovered, in order to continue hiding their identity, they'll attack the players who discover them and kill them to silence them. "Ye Xiu said.
"I think so," Chen Guo said.
"I'm going to test this character," Ye Xiu said.
"How do you want to test it?" Chen Guo asked.
"I want to see if he'll keep chasing after me to silence me." As Ye Xiu said this, the Christmas thief had already reached the bottom of the building. The system obviously wouldn't give players such an opening. Players wouldn't, but NPCs had the ability to climb walls. However, this Christmas thief was an Assassin, so he didn't even need to climb walls. He directly used Air Leap. When he reached the highest point of his first jump, he used Air Leap to jump a second time.
This was one of the Assassin's passive skills. Two consecutive jumps in the air ensured that they had better jumping ability than other classes.
The Christmas thief jumped up to the roof. Ye Xiu didn't fight. He had Lord Grim turn around and run. In the blink of an eye, he jumped to the other side of the street. On this street, there just happened to be another Christmas thief sneaking around. Ye Xiu had Lord Grim raise his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and fire another shot.
"Say, how many Christmas thieves do you think there are in Sin City?" Ye Xiu suddenly asked Chen Guo, who was still staring at his screen.
