It was Christmas Eve.
Even though Chen Guo had decorated the Internet Cafe to have a Christmas atmosphere, it was clearly just for business. She clearly didn't care about this holiday. She didn't have any celebratory activities. Her dinner was even more simple than usual. She held her bowl and ate in front of her computer. She even had to count how many Christmas thieves Ye Xiu had gathered!
The number continued to increase. Chen Guo was no longer surprised. At this moment, she felt like she was watching a suspense movie. She was waiting to see how many Christmas thieves would be gathered in the end.
As for the experts in the tenth server's Sin City, they couldn't sit still any longer.
Ten, twenty, thirty. They thought that Ye Xiu was gathering monsters. When the number reached forty, fifty, they felt like something wasn't right.
More and more people came to watch because it was too easy to find. A large group of Christmas thieves walked through the streets of Sin City. No matter how bad Sin City's visibility was, they could still see something strange from afar.
What was impossible in everyone's mind was slowly becoming a reality.
"What is he trying to do?" The leaders of the top guilds were all discussing this.
The most sensitive guild was obviously Excellent Dynasty.
They could even see the effects of Lord Grim's actions from the data. Their hunting in Sin City was becoming slower and slower.
Christmas thieves were a fixed resource. Right now, a large number of Christmas thieves were piling up under Lord Grim's name. The number of Christmas thieves that Excellent Dynasty could find would obviously decrease.
What was even worse was that the Christmas thieves that Lord Grim had pulled away still hadn't died. If they didn't die, they wouldn't respawn. This meant that the number of Christmas thieves in Sin City for everyone to hunt was decreasing.
Excellent Dynasty's lead on the Christmas Hunting Leaderboards required an area like Sin City as a foundation. Right now, their foundation was being destroyed. Without the advantage of having a large number of Christmas thieves, they wouldn't be able to utilize their advantage of having a large number of experts.
Chen Yehui obviously didn't want to ruin his plans. After sending out Wind Following Sword's troops, he sent out a few more experts to deal with them. This time, there were no restrictions. Find Lord Grim and kill him!
After killing Lord Grim, a large number of Christmas thieves had already gathered. Chen Yehui was excited at the thought of this business.
Chen Yehui's Guild wasn't the only Guild with such thoughts. In the face of profit, these Guild experts were no strangers to the idea of killing and plundering others.
Everyone knew that Lord Grim was a great expert. Chen Yehui even knew that this expert was at the Divine Tier.
However, under such circumstances, what could a God-ranked expert do?
Driving the train and not being able to stop for even a single step, how was he supposed to fight against players in such a situation? There was almost no need for a head-on confrontation. All he had to do was drag things out, and those Christmas thieves would be enough to crush him into dust.
The various Guilds' calculations were brilliant, and each of them had dispatched their own manpower. Furthermore, they had quite a lot of manpower. After killing Lord Grim, they were about to steal the Christmas thief. The more the merrier!
However, reality was not as wonderful as they had imagined.
Wind Following Sword, who had been searching for Lord Grim's position the entire time, had discovered this problem early on.
It was easy for them to grasp Lord Grim's general position because driving such an arrogant train was actually quite eye-catching. However, when it came to specifically determining Lord Grim's position, it was abnormally difficult.
Lord Grim was the head of a train, but this train was too chaotic.
Different Christmas thieves had different attributes. The speed of their movement was different, and in this one-track chase, there was a significant gap between the two. If all the Christmas thieves could be synchronized, then everyone could deduce where Lord Grim would appear next from the direction they were heading. However, the problem was that the Christmas thieves' movements were not synchronized at all.
Some of the Christmas thieves, who had been pulled further away, could no longer see Lord Grim. However, with the system's support, they still shamelessly knew Lord Grim's exact position. As a result, they relied on their AI to choose the most convenient route. Their chase might not necessarily be on the same path as Lord Grim.
Some of them ran to the east street, some ran to the west street, and some climbed the wall … …
Players often saw these Christmas thieves chasing Lord Grim, but they didn't often see where the locomotive was.
When they saw the Christmas thieves on the east street, the players guessed that Lord Grim was on the west side.
When they saw the Christmas thieves on the west street, the players guessed that Lord Grim was on the east side.
When they saw the Christmas thieves climbing the wall, the players thought that Lord Grim was on the next street.
Wind Following Sword used his map to determine Lord Grim's position based on the information he had gathered from his teammates and the information he had gathered from all over the place.
Time and time again, he confidently pointed in the right direction. Time and time again, everyone confidently replied that there was nothing there.
This was the fourth time that they had pointed to a place where there was nothing. Wind Following Sword's confidence once again suffered a heavy blow. He was already too embarrassed to continue making everyone run for nothing.
"Ye Qiu's movements are too erratic." Wind Following Sword reported to Chen Yehui, "He's not running aimlessly. He's running ahead by estimating the movement speed of the Christmas thieves. Using the difference in movement speed between the Christmas thieves, he's creating a very confusing situation. Even though we can easily see the Christmas thieves chasing him … … we can't determine where he's running in. "
"What do you mean? You can't find him? "Chen Yehui's mood immediately soured.
"We can't find him … … we can only rely on luck." When Wind Following Sword's Spinning Spiderweb Formation had been broken, he had already lost his confidence. This was because he wasn't a noob. After this exchange, he had already clearly felt that there was a difference between him and his opponent. Even though he forced himself to continue working hard, reality was cruel. Ye Qiu was still a level higher than him. He couldn't determine where Ye Qiu was running.
Luck was something that no one could control.
Ye Xiu calculated his movement speed and used the terrain to create chaos for the Christmas thieves. However, if someone was really lucky and ran into him, then there was nothing he could do.
Right now, there really were a few of them. When they ran past an intersection, they turned around.
"Lord Grim!!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised to discover him.
Even though he couldn't see the ID of the characters running towards him, with one person in front and several people behind, who else could it be other than Lord Grim driving a train?
Then, they saw Lord Grim jump. With a gunshot, he jumped onto a building.
Three seconds later, they saw a gang of Christmas thieves climbing the wall in front of them.
They immediately ran to the next street.
Huh? There were also Christmas thieves climbing the wall on the next street.
They were still on the roof!
A Level 34 character, this room wasn't a room that just anyone could enter.
As a result, those that could climb onto the roof went up. Those that couldn't ran down the street. There were people running down the two streets to the left and right, calling for help.
Then, they saw Lord Grim run from the roof onto the street. Then, he jumped onto another roof. After jumping across several streets, the players that couldn't climb onto the roof were immediately left behind.
The Gunners kept a close eye on him. They were all experts. They were very familiar with the ups and downs. They chased after Ye Xiu's Lord Grim all the way back to the street.
Lord Grim began to move with Aerial Fire.
The Gunners began to sweat.
He couldn't use Aerial Fire to chase after him. When Aerial Fire moved, it would fly backwards. As a result, Gunners wouldn't use Aerial Fire to chase after each other. This was because the Gunner would have his back facing the Gunner's gun. As a result, when the Gunner moved with Aerial Fire, he would be shot down. Even if the Gunner didn't kill him, it would be extremely difficult to chase after him in such a passive situation.
Even if they didn't know that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu, everyone knew that Lord Grim was an expert. This Gunner didn't dare to play such a difficult game against an expert.
He could only obediently run as he pulled out his gun and fired. Unfortunately, the two of them were quite far apart. Ye Xiu had started to move as soon as he saw them appear at the street entrance.
The Christmas thieves that were chasing after them also showed their faces. Some jumped down from the roofs on the left, some jumped down from the roofs on the right, and some even rushed out from the street entrance behind them.
This Gunner was able to personally experience just how messy Ye Xiu's train was.
Lord Grim rushed to the street entrance. He turned right and immediately disappeared from the Gunner's sight.
As the Gunner reported to his organization, he immediately turned around and used Aerial Fire to increase his speed. However, he didn't know that after Ye Xiu's Lord Grim turned around, he immediately stuck his head out to look at him. When he saw that the Gunner had used Aerial Fire, he immediately sneaked to the opposite street.
This kind of small trick might not be able to completely fool the other party.
However, Ye Xiu's endless attention to these details was the reason why he could create such a strong confusion.
Many of the guild's instructions were very simple: Chase after the Christmas thieves.
This was because the players knew very well that the Christmas thieves had God's perspective. They didn't need to see to know where Lord Grim was. Their movement path was always right. They were always heading towards Lord Grim.
However, these Christmas thieves who couldn't see Lord Grim meant that their movement speed wasn't as fast as Lord Grim's. If they kept running with him, they might never be able to catch up to Lord Grim.
The players also understood this point, so they were constantly filtering. The slow ones were gradually left behind, and then they would look for faster ones to chase.
And this was the other advantage that Ye Xiu relied on to last until now.
Movement speed.
In terms of movement speed, Ye Xiu was faster than most players.
With the Level 25 Silver Rifle's Aerial Fire movement, only players with Level 30 Orange Weapon Hand Cannons could surpass him in terms of stats. However, there weren't many people with Orange weapons. Someone with an Orange weapon and Ye Xiu's steady control over it was even more impossible. As for the other classes, the Battle Mage's Chasers were troublesome. The Witches needed to fly as fast as they could. The Blade Master's Triple Slash also had a cooldown … …
After six hours of tenacious perseverance, Ye Xiu had already passed through the most difficult situation at the beginning. The more Christmas thieves behind him, the better it was for him. With so many scattered Christmas thieves running around, the players couldn't pinpoint his exact location.
322 Christmas thieves.
The big guilds had no way of knowing this shocking number. The one who knew the most was Chen Guo, who had been silently counting beside Ye Xiu.
