Chapter 766: Sure Win
"Also, the monsters guarding the spirit flags are very fierce. It's possible that other teams arrived while we were fighting, and took advantage of the fact that we were both injured and defeated by the monsters to pick us off."
"Anyway, in previous competitions, the first person to take first place never had a good ending."
Senior Sister Zhu had a look of regret on her face, obviously having suffered a loss in the last selection.
"The second strategy is that we don't do anything right now. We just set up traps at the entrance, ambush others, and kill as many opponents as possible. Then we can get the spiritual flag."
"Of course, this path isn't perfect either. With nine teams, there's no end to the opponents. The outcome could be the same as the first strategy: both teams lose, and a third party profits."
"The last strategy is to gather your strength for the first two days, hide away and do nothing, and then join the melee on the last day!"
Senior Sister Zhu said excitedly, "This kind of looting competition will end with a fight on the last day. Whoever grabs more will win!"
Ye Xiaoman listened thoughtfully. There was nothing wrong with these three strategies, but they were all very hard and there was no guarantee of winning.
No matter how strong the Qing Zhengzong's fighting power is, or how hard they work to collect as many flags as possible, as long as the other nine teams unite to plunder them, they will completely lose the chance of winning.
Even if you find allies, there will only be one winner in the end, and the allies will not help you wholeheartedly, so there are too many variables.
Ye Xiaoman pondered, "Is there no 100% way to win this game?"
The fellow disciples were stunned for a moment after hearing this. Senior Brother Ju scratched his head and said, "There can't be a surefire way to win."
"have."
Xiao Chujing, who was leaning against a big tree with his life sword in his arms, suddenly spoke.
Because the Sect Master had instructed us to use Xiao Chujing's brain more, Senior Brother Ju quickly asked, "Has Uncle Xiao come up with a good idea?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Chujing. He looked at Ye Xiaoman, raised his eyebrows and smiled, then asked, "How many spirit flags do you need to get within three days to guarantee victory?"
Everyone was stumped by the question, and Senior Brother Ju, who had two years of experience in the competition, recalled.
"There's no fixed number for this. In some regions, competition is fierce, and monks won't yield to each other, even destroying each other's loot. The first-place team might only get around 10 flags."
"Some teams have high combat power and good luck, and can obtain more than half of the flags..."
This is the traditional analysis, but Ye Xiaoman has other ideas.
"A sure win? I know." She raised her hand with a smile: "Get 100 flags."
Xiao Chujing smiled, "That's right. No matter what strategy we formulate, there is only one goal: to win."
Senior Brother Ju was stunned: "How is it possible to get all 100?"
Senior Sister Mei and the other fellow disciples also said in unison, "That's impossible. In all the previous human selections, there has never been such an overwhelming victory..."
Ye Xiaoman had probably guessed Xiao Chujing's plan. She just wanted to silently pat her fellow disciples on the shoulders. How dare they question the wisdom of the male protagonist? She could just cling to Long Aotian's thigh and wait to win without any effort.
Since Xiao Chujing mentioned this, it was obvious that he had already taken a comprehensive view of the situation and made a plan in the short time since he landed.
He said, "We recreated a fake Qingfeng Canyon."
Except for Ye Xiaoman, no one else followed his train of thought and stared at him blankly: "Huh?"
Xiao Chujing asked everyone to take out their maps and he explained his plan.
"Qingfeng Canyon is very large, and the Spirit Flag Position isn't specifically marked on the map. Everyone who wants to come here just knows to go to Qingfeng Canyon first, and then follow a certain direction to find the Spirit Flag Position."
The location markings on the map are vague. In fact, the Tianyan Sect has deliberately increased the difficulty for the cultivators to find their destination. Perhaps they did not expect that it would become a loophole and be exploited by Xiao Chujing.
Senior Brother Lan, who was the first to find the spiritual flag formation, began to understand something.
"Master Xiao's idea is that as long as we create a fake location near the Spirit Flag formation, everyone who comes here will be like me. As soon as they see the Spirit Flag, they will have a preconceived notion and think they have arrived at their destination."
“No one would have thought that they might be in the wrong place.”
Senior Sister Mei also spread out the map and began to think along the lines provided by Xiao Chujing.
"There's a miasma valley nearby, a wolf den, and countless monster garrisons. It's truly deceptive..."
Senior Sister Mei's speech speed became faster and faster, and her eyes sparkled with joy.
"As long as we lure all our competitors into a wrong place, lock them up together and make them fight to the death, we will quietly collect all the spirit flags in the rear."
"As long as there are no opponents who get in the way, it's entirely possible for one team like us to collect all the flags within three days."
Everyone looked at Xiao Chujing in admiration.
"Uncle Xiao, it's so high! It's really too high!"
This round of competition only lasts three days, which is short enough for the team to maintain a large-scale sleight of hand spell.
Everyone's spirits were high. Unlike in the past when they could only passively obey the rules, this time they had the initiative to achieve a surprise victory and saw the dawn of a sure win.
On the map, the nearest red dot can be reached in less than half a day.
As soon as you get close to your destination, all the red dots will go out on the opponent's map, turning it into a complete ambush and hide-and-seek game.
The four team leaders, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, immediately assigned tasks according to everyone's talents and cultivation.
Those who are good at setting up formations began to set up a magic formation to deceive the eyes.
Those who are good at refining equipment will assist in refining 100 fake spiritual flags, and the spiritual energy fluctuations must be exactly the same.
Disciples who are good at taming beasts will provoke the monsters and poisonous insects in the territory and prepare a wave of meeting gift packages for their competitors in advance.
The team was finally divided into two groups, one group maintained the illusion formation in the front, and the other group went to the spirit flag position to collect the magic flags.
Xiao Chujing fought wits and courage on the front line, while Ye Xiaoman and other senior brothers and sisters went to the rear to fight monsters.
Everything was arranged and the first competing team arrived as scheduled.
"This is the spiritual flag position."
As soon as the monks stepped into the swamp, they were surprised to see a glowing spiritual flag faintly appearing in the black miasma, and in the distance, there were more spots of light flashing.
There was a rustling sound in the miasma that made one's scalp tingle. Ant beasts as big as calves with red eyes surrounded them like a tide.
"Set up the formation and seize the chess pieces!"
The leading monk gave the order in a deep voice, completely unaware that he had stepped into the trap set by the Qingzheng Sect.
Rumble——
Not long after, a second team was infected.
The sound of fighting continued for a long time.
After three days, the elder of Tianyan Sect who was responsible for registering the results arrived at the scene.
On the hillside of the canyon, numerous monks were fighting fiercely. It was the final day of the melee, and each team wanted to snatch more flags from their opponents.
The elder looked at this group of fools, sighed, and announced loudly: "The winner is Qing Zhengzong."
