Chapter 113 Meticulous Details

Seeing Luo Ji's meticulous arrangement, the Void spectators at the scene collapsed.

What kind of people were these from Team Happy? What was this all about? Was this a proper competition? Did they think this was *Protect the Carrots* or *Plants vs. Zombies*? Watching the summoned beasts being deployed in a scattered fashion, everyone almost forgot that this was Glory; it felt more like a tower defense game.

But Luo Ji was completely oblivious. After Steamed Bun Invades chiseled a hole in the earthen wall of the grass hut, his view immediately extended outward from that hole.

The Void spectators in the audience couldn't sit still. They had a God's-eye view, even clearer than Luo Ji's, of what Gai Caijie's Qing Zhi Qu was doing. Qing Zhi Qu really was coming in this direction. Judging by his progress, he wouldn't be long before he entered the area Luo Ji had set up. Although everyone despised this tower defense-like deployment, looking at the setup, it seemed quite formidable.

Gai Caijie… wouldn't he capsize in the gutter, right?

The Void spectators were worried. Although they had been as disappointed as if they had lost by a score of ten after Li Xuan lost the first match, they were now subconsciously caught up in the match, worried that Gai Caijie was about to step into a trap.

Close!

The electronic screen showed the view that Steamed Bun Invades had obtained while趴(pā) lying on the wall hole. Gai Caijie's Qing Zhi Qu walked into his field of vision in such a blatant manner, without the slightest precaution.

The spectators were anxious. Many were shouting loudly, but their voices couldn't reach the players in the competition seats.

However, Gai Caijie also seemed to think that since he had reached this position, it was unscientific that he still hadn't seen Steamed Bun Invades. Qing Zhi Qu's movement speed was slowed down even further.

One step, one step, cautiously.

But Luo Ji was also very patient. Although his heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out of his throat, he forced himself to endure it. He believed this was his only chance to win, and he had to seize it. His fingers were a little stiff from nervousness, but he couldn't make any mistakes in his operations.

From Luo Ji's perspective, all the spectators could see what he was doing.

In the default state, summoned beasts would automatically attack non-friendly targets that entered their aggro range. However, summoners could order their summoned beasts to defend, in which case they would only attack targets that attacked within their attack range, and would not proactively attack or chase by default. But Luo Ji's operations with his summoned beasts didn't stop there. He even wanted to suppress the automatic attacks on those who entered the attack range during defense. Since there was no direct command to do this, the method was to repeatedly issue defense commands to the summoned beasts.

Of course, this was done to allow the target to go deeper before launching an attack. But to suppress this, the repeated operations needed to reach a fixed rhythm. This kind of operation wasn't difficult for professional players, but Luo Ji was nervous! His fingers were already stiff, and this kind of mechanical, repetitive operation made him feel like his fingers weren't his own after a while. At this time, Qing Zhi Qu had already entered a significant distance within the attack range. The spectators in the audience were cursing madly, but Luo Ji still felt it wasn't enough, that he hadn't reached his desired optimal position yet! However, he really couldn't control this operation, which shouldn't have been difficult for a professional. His stiff fingers mistakenly tapped the wrong rhythm.

*Shua!*

The first to attack was the Demon World Flower hidden behind the tree. A vine immediately drilled out of the ground, wrapping around Qing Zhi Qu's calf. When Luo Ji saw this, he knew that his control had finally reached its limit, and he felt extremely regretful. But at this time, he should operate to attack as quickly as possible!

The Demon World Flower began to attack. The Little Flying Dragon and Thunder Eagle on the left and right rooftops also automatically flew into the sky, one spitting fireballs downwards, and the other dropping lightning. The Spirit Cat was a close-range attacker. After the defense command was issued, it wouldn't move at this time. Luo Ji immediately canceled his defense command, and then immediately had Steamed Bun Invades chant to summon the Ice Wolf.

The Ice Wolf was large, and there was no safe hiding place in this area, so Luo Ji didn't let Steamed Bun Invades summon it until now.

Outside the grass hut, the Demon World Flower's attack came too suddenly. Gai Caijie realized that he wanted to make Qing Zhi Qu jump up to dodge, but it was too late. The vine snapped up and entangled his raised calf, dragging Qing Zhi Qu back to the ground.

Unable to move!

This was a special effect attached to the vine attack. The Demon World Flower was especially annoying because its attacks had such special effects.

*Boom, boom!*

A fireball on one side, and a lightning strike on the other had already smashed down.

Unable to move, Qing Zhi Qu could only twist his body to dodge, but he couldn't dodge completely. Instantly, he was covered in flames and lightning, which was quite lively.

Whirlwind!

Gai Caijie was also decisive, knowing that now was not the time to save skills. Qing Zhi Qu wielded his war scythe, rotating and cutting against his body. The Demon World Flower's vines were also like a living organism, possessing life. When the attack exhausted its life, it immediately broke. Qing Zhi Qu took another hit from the fireball and lightning, but finally regained his movement. He immediately took a step forward and charged forward.

He had already determined the location of the Demon World Flower, and this summoned beast was undoubtedly the most restrictive. Gai Caijie knew from Qing Zhi Qu's position that he had gone too deep. It wouldn't be wise to escape the Demon World Flower's control range at this time. It was more sensible to forcibly kill the Demon World Flower.

*Shua!*

Another ground thorn drilled up from the ground. The Demon World Flower's attack was troublesome because of its concealment. But Gai Caijie had already made Qing Zhi Qu jump up when this attack came out. He was extremely calm, and even when surrounded, he was still clearly judging the Demon World Flower's attack timing.

Qing Zhi Qu, who jumped into mid-air, had already pulled back his character to see a third of the Demon World Flower's body showing behind the tree. The war scythe in his hand was already raised, ready to swing out. Suddenly, with an "嗷(áo)" roar, accompanied by a string of cold air, the Ice Wolf pounced from the side, directly knocking Qing Zhi Qu, who was jumping in mid-air, to the ground.

Steamed Bun Invades had already rushed out of the grass hut together with the Ice Wolf. Hiding in that grass hut was safer, but due to the limited perspective, the operation of the summoned beasts couldn't be perfect. For example, if Steamed Bun Invades was still hiding in the grass hut for this pounce of the Ice Wolf, then he could only rely on the system's automatic attack, and probably wouldn't have grasped the timing so well. The summoned beasts commanded automatically by the system were very stupid, only knowing to keep attacking, attacking, attacking, without cooperating, let alone grasping the timing. So Steamed Bun Invades revealed himself. Luo Ji had to command all the summoned beasts carefully under this view, so that Qing Zhi Qu would no longer be able to escape from the encirclement.

Qing Zhi Qu, who was pounced on and bitten by the Ice Wolf, instantly entered a slow state. With two booms, the Little Flying Dragon and Thunder Eagle in the air spat out fireballs and lightning again. The Spirit Cat had already arrived, but it hadn't attacked earlier under Luo Ji's control, instead leaving that pounce to the Ice Wolf. Now that the situation was under control, the Spirit Cat immediately rushed up to contribute its output.

Qing Zhi Qu rolled on the ground, dodging the attacks of the four summoned beasts, and occasionally had to jump up to dodge the Demon World Flower's underground raids. But under the personal control of the summoner player, the Demon World Flower's attacks weren't necessarily following its inherent rhythm. What was Luo Ji's IQ? How could he let Gai Caijie take such an advantage? The Demon World Flower specifically launched attacks when he was at his most difficult. Qing Zhi Qu jumped and dodged five times, failing to avoid it four times, making him look utterly disgraced.

"Well done!" Chen Guo was excited in the arena! It wasn't easy for Luo Ji to win, and it was even rarer for him to be able to control the situation so comprehensively. Surrounded by summoned beasts like this, there probably wouldn't be any more variables, right?

Luo Ji's confidence was also growing vigorously at this time. His successful tactics made even Gai Caijie, a young but stable player, fall into the trap, which was really a shot in the arm for him. Luo Ji operated several summoned beasts to constantly attack, and his mood became more and more relaxed. His stiff fingers gradually regained their senses. Luo Ji suddenly felt that these things were not so difficult after all.

Who knew that at this moment, Qing Zhi Qu suddenly snatched an opening, swung the war scythe in his hand, and blue light appeared on the ground…

Not good! Ascending Heaven Array!

Luo Ji was shocked. Qing Zhi Qu could snatch this attack, obviously because there was an opening in the attacks of the four beasts around him. Luo Ji hurriedly wanted the Demon World Flower to attack, but he was dumbfounded by this operation.

Qing Zhi Qu was no longer within the Demon World Flower's attack range.

Seemingly embarrassed and being besieged by the four beasts and the Demon World Flower, Qing Zhi Qu, who was struggling to support himself, was actually trying to move out of the Demon World Flower's control range. However, Gai Caijie carefully hid this movement in the passivity of being attacked by the four beasts. Luo Ji was still inexperienced and didn't notice this at all. It wasn't until Qing Zhi Qu escaped the range that he seized the opportunity to counterattack.

*Hua!*

Blue light appeared on the ground, rushing straight into the sky. Luo Ji desperately operated the four summoned beasts to retreat from that range, but it was too late. Whether it was the Spirit Cat and Ice Wolf on the ground, or the Little Flying Dragon and Thunder Eagle overhead, they were all loaded into the Ascending Heaven Array. At this moment, they rolled towards higher altitudes.

Qing Zhi Qu ignored them and rushed towards Steamed Bun Invades, throwing the war scythe in his hand, attacking the Demon World Flower.

*Boom!*

A Blazing Flame Talisman was attached to the war scythe. Instantly, a group of flames wrapped the entire Demon World Flower. Fire attacks had an extremely powerful damage bonus to the Demon World Flower. With just this one strike, the Demon World Flower instantly turned into a black mass and could no longer move.

Qing Zhi Qu, bare-handed, approached Steamed Bun Invades. He swiped in the air with his right hand, already holding another talisman in his hand. He stretched out his left hand and used Soul Command to retrieve the war scythe.

Lost…

Seeing Gai Caijie's skilled attack techniques, Luo Ji admired him. Steamed Bun Invades’s summoned beasts had already been thrown behind him. At this time, what else could he do? There would be no chance to chant a summon. If he directed the four beasts to fight, the four beasts would soon disappear because the skill time was about to run out.

All the details were taken into consideration by the other party. At this time, Luo Ji really had no countermeasures.

Pay attention to the details!

When Steamed Bun Invades finally fell, Luo Ji felt melancholy. This was originally his strength, but this time, he lost here.
