Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1425 Search
Team Happy looked at the newly-appearing player on Team Blue Rain’s side. This wasn’t an exceptionally talented player, but he was an indispensable member of every team. Geniuses needed green leaves to set them off; no team was made up entirely of gods. Top-tier gods weren’t that common!
Li Yuan wasn't a god, but he had a place on a powerhouse like Blue Rain, which fully demonstrated his ability. Who standing on this stage at this moment could be underestimated?
Li Yuan, Summoner class player, character, Bayin Fu (Eight Notes).
Three players had already been lost, and they had gained a general understanding of this map that Team Blue Rain wasn't very familiar with. Li Yuan, like his previous three teammates, boldly moved his character, Bayin Fu (Eight Notes), forward from the center of the road.
This time, unexpectedly, Mo Fan didn't have Deception sneak around. He also directly advanced from the center.
"Is this a head-on attack?" Pan Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Mo Fan's patience, Mo Fan's caution, had left a deep impression on everyone. Even when his opponent had only one-tenth of their health remaining, he would unhesitatingly look for opportunities to steal an attack. His habit of prioritizing his own safety at all times when scavenging was super suitable for a stage battle!
But now, was he suddenly going to launch a frontal attack?
Pan Lin shouted, and the two characters quickly appeared in each other's line of sight.
Bayin Fu (Eight Notes) immediately stopped and began chanting to summon his beasts. What about Mo Fan's Deception? With a single step, he darted into the bushes beside the road and disappeared...
So he was still going to sneak attack. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Watching Mo Fan's character rush up so fiercely was a little unsettling. It was more comfortable to see him hiding.
Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to Deception's disappearance again. He was a summoner and wasn't too afraid of ambushes. He continued chanting, and soon everyone saw his style.
The spirit stream was best for generating a massive army. The number of small spirits that could be summoned was stackable, up to a maximum of eight, one for each element. Then every two small spirits of the same element could combine into one large spirit. And then the four elemental large spirits could combine into one Spirit King.
All in all, the spirit stream could command a total of eight small spirits, four large spirits, and one Spirit King on the field. Compared to the Four Holy Beasts stream with only four beasts, it was much more spectacular.
However, since high-level spirits were formed by combining low-level spirits, maintaining balance with the spirit stream was an art. It wouldn't do if the Spirit King suddenly disappeared in the middle of a fight, and then they realized that two of the four elemental large spirits were missing. Then they would have to summon small spirits from scratch or combine them. So many steps, so many chants, it wasn't easy to pull it off in one go. Therefore, replenishment was key when using the spirit stream. Passively waiting for the spirits to be killed before replenishing them wasn't a solution. Also, because summoning spirits was cumbersome, the spirits existed for a relatively long time. Small spirits lasted for one minute, large spirits for two minutes, and the Spirit King could survive for four minutes.
Four minutes was not a short time at all. For one-on-one matches, people like Ye Xiu would end a match in a few dozen seconds when bullying newbies.
Li Yuan didn't panic at this moment. He was in the middle of summoning spirits, but when he saw Deception dive into the bushes, he casually sent a small fire spirit to chase after him, while Bayin Fu (Eight Notes) continued to summon and moved toward that direction with a crowd of spirits. Other classes would worry about being ambushed if they rashly chased after him, but the spirit stream summoner had a large number of spirits protecting him, making him fearless.
The small fire spirit was like a small fireball. After walking to the pile of grass for a moment, the grass began to wither as a large amount of water evaporated. This was still the result of the small fire spirit's burning. When the large fire spirit, which resembled a piece of lava, arrived, the pile of grass instantly sparked, and damp smoke rolled up.
By this time, Li Yuan's Bayin Fu (Eight Notes) had summoned all four large spirits and six small spirits, creating a mighty and powerful force. He powerfully stepped into the area beside the avenue that Song Xiao, Lu Hanwen, and Huang Shaotian had been cautious about entering due to unfamiliarity.
"Where are you hiding?" Li Yuan, protected by his spirits, seemed relaxed and typed the words. Although he wouldn't chatter on like Huang Shaotian, he was clearly someone who liked to chat a few words when he had the chance.
Huang Shaotian's map attacks were ignored by Mo Fan. Would he pay attention to Li Yuan's simple sentence?
Li Yuan couldn't find Deception for a while, so he aimed at a spot and planted a Demon World Flower. Because of its fixed nature, the Demon World Flower wasn't suitable to be the center of a stream, but it was an important summon that every stream was reluctant to give up.
For example, right now, the Demon World Flower wasn't relying on sight or hearing to find a target. As long as a target was within its attack range, it could directly sense it and send vines out from underground to attack.
However, at this moment, the Demon World Flower was planted but there was no movement, so this area could be said to be excluded.
"He's running far enough!" Li Yuan muttered again. Bayin Fu (Eight Notes) hurriedly waved his magic wand, and marks were thrown out one by one as the summoned beasts scattered to search. Everyone had their active attack mode turned on, so they would attack as soon as they discovered a target. Of course, Li Yuan could also make a judgment immediately.
"Playing hide-and-seek with a summoner isn't very advantageous!" Pan Lin said. As bystanders, they had a God's perspective, so of course they knew Deception's current location. They had been worried when the Demon World Flower was planted just now. Fortunately, Deception moved away in time. But now that Bayin Fu (Eight Notes)'s spirits had begun a large-scale search, Deception was dodging and hiding, making everyone even more worried.
"This is the spirit stream!" Li Yibo said with emotion. Bayin Fu (Eight Notes)'s spirits had now been fully replenished, up to the large spirit level. Four large spirits and eight small spirits were searching on a large scale. Once they made contact with a target and began to fight, the Spirit King would definitely be summoned when the time was right. The Spirit King was the strongest summoned beast in the spirit system, and its attack skills, elemental cut, elemental fissure, and elemental cannon, were all more powerful than the last.
"Perhaps it would be wise to try to escape first." Commentator Pan Lin believed.
But Mo Fan's idea was clearly different from his. He let Deception stay here and really played hide-and-seek with the spirits.
Happy's supporters were worried about Mo Fan, while neutral viewers or Blue Rain fans felt that Blue Rain should win this match. Mo Fan's sneaky style had met its match this time!
Who knew, as they watched, they realized that something was wrong.
Again and again, just as he was about to be discovered by a spirit, Mo Fan managed to avoid it with Deception at the last moment.
"So... so strong!" Pan Lin stuttered directly in the match. Mo Fan's talent had once again exceeded his expectations.
"Yes! Is this the skill honed by scavenging?" Li Yibo said.
Thus, anyone with experience in the Glory online game immediately saw the following scene: On a battlefield filled with smoke, countless swords, spears, and cannons viciously tore and killed. At this time, an expressionless ninja cleverly slipped into the battlefield. He carefully avoided all attacks, doing his best not to attract anyone's attention. Then, he put all kinds of precious equipment and materials scattered on the ground into his bag, until it was full, and then disappeared silently at the edge of the battlefield...
Compared to that kind of environment, perhaps these mere twelve small and large spirits weren't much at all!
The audience was exclaiming. What about Li Yuan? He was getting restless because no spirit had discovered Deception yet.
The spirits were searching, but he wasn't idle either. Bayin Fu (Eight Notes) stood within the protection range of the Demon World Flower, carefully observing the surrounding terrain. His spirits weren't scattered randomly, but according to the terrain, toward the blind spots he couldn't see. But even so, he still couldn't see Deception. Had he run far away?
Li Yuan couldn't help but have such doubts. In fact, the audience with God's perspective knew that Deception had appeared, but unfortunately Li Yuan's perspective couldn't be 360 degrees, otherwise he would have discovered Deception long ago, and not just once or twice.
No discovery in any direction left Li Yuan unsure of how to continue. His search had lost direction. Was he just going to expand the range endlessly?
Li Yuan carefully observed again, re-examined his search plan, and felt that he hadn't overlooked anything, so he commanded the spirits to further expand the search radius.
He's done for!
Everyone saw this scene and cried out in their hearts.
Deception hadn't run far! And with this expansion of the search radius, Deception was placed in the inner circle. This gave Mo Fan an opportunity. He insisted on not leaving, waiting for just such an opportunity, right?
Sure enough, Deception began to move closer. However, there was also a troublesome Demon World Flower next to Bayin Fu (Eight Notes). Li Yuan was a professional player after all, so he wouldn't naively think that he would forget to plant another one until the one that was about to disappear was gone.
So Mo Fan didn't wait any longer. He watched the spirits spread out for a while, and after Li Yuan had Bayin Fu (Eight Notes) summon another Demon World Flower to replace the one that was about to disappear, Deception charged out!
Whoosh!
The vines of the Demon World Flower immediately shot up from the ground, coiling toward Deception's legs. Mo Fan had expected this. The biggest advantage of a ninja was that the hand seals, which resembled chanting, could be performed while moving or in any other situation.
Ninjutsu: Explosion Flame Dragon!
Another level 75 ultimate skill of the ninja. Deception, having completed the hand seals, held up three fingers on each hand, forming a triangle in front of his mouth. A wisp of light purple smoke, somewhat like smoke, shot out from the center. As soon as it came into contact with the outside air, it rolled and exploded as if it had gone mad, instantly turning into a series of flames, spraying toward the Demon World Flower.
Fire-type attacks had a very high damage bonus against the Demon World Flower. With just this one move, the Demon World Flower turned into a mass of black, and the leaping vines also hung down weakly at this moment, scattering into ashes.
