Fine beads of sweat had already oozed out of his forehead, and in this cold environment, they instantly condensed into ice beads. But Xiao Yi didn't care about that at all. All his thoughts were focused on that almost negligible trace, trying to decipher the opponent's secret from it and prepare for the upcoming life-and-death duel.
Xiao Yi's eyes were still fixed on the subtle trace, and he adjusted the sight calmly and carefully. His fingers turned the adjustment knob flexibly and accurately, and his eyes moved with the movement of the sight, not missing any corner where the enemy might be hiding.
Following the direction of the trace, the sight moved slowly, and his breathing became slower, as if he was afraid that his breath would interfere with the intense search.
His finger rested lightly on the trigger, a feeling both familiar and nerve-wracking. He could feel every subtle texture of the trigger beneath his finger, and every slight touch carried with it a force poised to explode.
Xiao Yi's muscles were slightly tense, ready to exert force at any time. His body was like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to be released. As long as he found the slightest trace of the enemy, he would pull the trigger without hesitation.
On this silent and dangerous snowfield, Xiao Yi was fully focused, becoming one with the sniper rifle in his hand, waiting for the moment that would decide life or death.
Xiao Yi's eyes were deep and solemn. He knew very well that what he was facing at the moment was by no means just a duel where the victory or defeat was decided simply by the accuracy of his shooting.
This is a thrilling psychological battle, a brutal game of wits and will. On this icy snowy ground, every subtle decision, every controlled breath, could be the key to the outcome of the battle.
He knew his opponent was also watching from the shadows, trying to figure out his thoughts and predict his actions. Every second of waiting was a huge test of his patience and determination.
Xiao Yi knew that whoever revealed a flaw psychologically would be the first to fall into a passive position. Fear, anxiety, impatience, even the slightest expression of these emotions could be keenly captured by the opponent and exploited.
He kept reminding himself to stay calm, like a bottomless lake, unperturbed. He couldn't be distracted by his opponent's rhythm, but instead controlled his own pace and seized the initiative in the fight.
In this contest, spearmanship is only a superficial weapon, and inner strength is the real magic weapon for victory. Xiao Yi took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and prepared to face this all-round cruel duel.
Xiao Yi kept telling himself in his heart that he must remain calm, and that firm belief surged in his heart like a powerful force.
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm even the slightest ripple in his heart with every breath. Xiao Yi knew clearly that the slightest panic could become a fatal weakness, which could be keenly captured and exploited by the opponent.
His eyes remained focused and firm. Although the surrounding environment was cold and depressing, and although unknown dangers were always around, his mind was like a solid fortress, unmoved.
Xiao Yi deliberately blocked out external interference, not letting any of his opponent's actions affect his judgment and actions. He imagined himself in a quiet space, where only he and his goal existed, without any external noise or interference.
Whenever thoughts of his opponent's possible strategies and rhythms surfaced in his mind, he would immediately forcefully dispel them, preventing them from taking root in his mind. He told himself to follow his own rhythm and trust his own judgment and experience.
No matter how tense the opponent created, no matter how unfavorable the situation seemed, Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and maintained his inner composure. He knew that only in this way could he have a chance of winning this life-and-death battle. Xiao Yi slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The cold air rushed into his chest, irritating his lungs, but he did not retreat.
He counted silently in his mind, feeling the flow of breath in his body, trying to suppress his heart that was beating rapidly due to nervousness. Every time he counted, he was fighting against his inner anxiety.
Slowly, he began to exhale, trying to release the breath evenly and slowly, as if to expel all the anxiety and panic in his body with this breath.
Xiao Yi took another breath, this time more deeply. He imagined that this breath was like cool spring water, flowing through his hot body and extinguishing the burning fire of anxiety.
After repeating this several times, he could clearly feel his heartbeat gradually slowing down, no longer pounding against his chest as wildly as before.
His breathing became steady and long, each inhale and exhale as if carefully measured, as smooth as the tides on a quiet night.
Xiao Yi's expression relaxed, his tense muscles gradually loosening, his eyes regaining clarity and resolve. At this moment, he resembled a calm practitioner, finding peace and tranquility within his inner world, ready to face the upcoming challenges with the utmost energy. In this snowy landscape, so still and silent that one could almost hear the sound of falling snowflakes, time seemed to be held tightly by an invisible hand, frozen in time. Xiao Yi was immersed in this scene, and everything around him seemed like a frozen image.
Every second of waiting seemed to be stretched infinitely, filled with suffocating tension and bottomless uncertainty. Xiao Yi's ears were erect, not missing any possible sound, but apart from his own breathing and heartbeat, there was only deathly silence.
His mind, like a high-speed computer, constantly deduced the enemy's possible position and actions. He imagined that the enemy might be hiding behind a snowdrift in the distance, quietly aiming in his direction; or lurking in the shadows of the few sparse trees, waiting for the perfect moment to shoot.
