I have to say that we were very lucky. The story of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole following behind did not happen to us. After we fought with the He Bureau, we did not meet other branches, and the journey was uneventful.
From this point of view, luck is also a kind of strength, and it is also very important. Otherwise, the fate of the river will happen to us again.
After moving quietly for a while, we found a place that was not easily noticed by outsiders and gathered together to discuss our next plan.
In fact, the problems we are facing now are nothing more than two points. The first is how to maintain the current good results, and the second is how to make persistent efforts and achieve even better results.
On the previous question, we are all very aware of the current situation, which is that our strength is not top-notch among the bureaus. At least half of the bureaus are stronger than our Yang bureau. In such a situation
Next, our situation is still serious. If we are not careful, our victory will be in vain.
"Actually, the key to this competition is the number of team cards with different attributes, not the number of surviving players. As long as we can keep the team cards, we can achieve good results in this game."
"So I decided that the three team cards in our hands should be kept separately by three people. In this way, if force majeure occurs, maybe one or two of us can escape and save some of our results." I said to everyone:
"What does everyone think?"
"I think this method works. War zones are particularly suitable for Tibetans. If we encounter a very strong branch, we can run as many as we can. Maybe we can escape one or two." After hearing what I said, Jiang Chen was the first to express his agreement.
.
No one had any objections, so I carried out the distribution work: "Ye Yuyou and I each have a team card. There is nothing to say. As for the third team card..."
Having said this, everyone looked at me.
I was a little hesitant. The stronger the team card keeper is, the better. But the only players in the second level are me and Ye Yuyou, and the other players are more or less about the same strength.
After hesitating for a moment, I finally handed Xu Xue the Heavenly Card representing our Yang Bureau and said, "I'll give the last one to you, Xu Xue, and keep it well."
I don’t know if it’s because of the ice sword in Xu Xue’s hand, or because of Xu Jian, or because of the unfathomable feeling Xu Xue has given me. In short, at that moment, I felt that only Xu Xue was the best.
The right choice.
"Okay." Seeing me hand over the team card, Xu Xue was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it well."
Originally, I was worried that my choice would cause dissatisfaction among everyone, but to my surprise, after I made the decision, instead of having any objection, everyone expressed their agreement.
In particular, several family members recognized Xu Xue. Judging from their reactions, my choice was correct and Xu Xue was indeed reliable.
Seeing that the distribution was completed, I told him: "You must all know the situation of each bureau. If you really encounter a bureau that you can't compete with, you don't have to be tough. Run as many as you can, so that you can keep the green hills and don't have to worry about running out of firewood."
"
"Yeah." Ye Yuyou and Xu Xue both nodded.
"This should be much safer. If there is an emergency and the whole group is wiped out, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, we tried our best." I smiled helplessly and said, "Of course, this is the last step.
If the situation is bad, maybe we will get to the end smoothly."
"It would be great if that's the case, because having two team cards with different attributes is already a very good result." Chen Xinyi said with a smile: "As long as we can keep these team cards, we can at least be among the top fifteen in this competition.
name, even higher."
"Indeed, there are only 64 cards in total. If other teams want to surpass us, they must have at least four team cards in their hands. Counting all the cards, there are only fifteen teams at most that can surpass us." I nodded.
"In fact, with so many teams, it is impossible for all of them to have four team cards. There will definitely be teams holding one or two team cards. In this way, our ranking is likely to be higher than the top ten.
"Xie Zhen said.
"That's right, so as long as we can keep these team cards in the next time, we can at least be in the top fifteen in this competition." I said with a smile: "If we are lucky, we might be in the top ten.
You can give it a try."
The highest ranking in the history of Yangju was eighth, which was a record set twenty years ago. Since then, Yangju has never regained its former glory. It has never been among the top ten, let alone the top twenty.
So, if we get one of the top ten, we will be proud of ourselves. Not only will we get a lot of benefits, but the most important thing is that we will also become famous, and the members of the Yang Bureau will be proud of us.
"It's okay, let's perform well this time and try to break Yang Ju's record in the competition, and then we will become completely famous when we go back." Sun Wei said with fiery eyes: "By then, we will be proud and proud."
"You're right."
Hearing this, we all laughed. Achieving a good result in the competition is a common dream for all of us in Yangju.
“Try to get in the top ten!
I clenched my fists, my heart full of fighting spirit.
Just when I was thinking about how to pick a few soft persimmons to pinch in the next half month, Ye Yuyou's slightly surprised voice reached my ears.
"Come and look at this map, I've made a new discovery!"
We all came over and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
Ye Yuyou spread the He Bureau's map on the ground, pointed to one spot, and said, "This is the He Bureau's map. Look, they have an arrow mark at this location on the map."
I looked in the direction of Ye Yuyou's finger, and my eyes suddenly lit up - sure enough, on the He Bureau map, there was a black area called Storm Valley.
The black area means danger. Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that the edge of the storm valley allows the river bureau to draw an arrow, and the arrow points to the left side of the map, which is the west.
"What does this mean? Could it be that He Bureau came here in the direction of the arrow?" Sun Qing analyzed.
"It's very possible that they are not so bored messing around on the map, and they are unlikely to deliberately confuse us. After all, they have no chance to do anything on the map." Jiang Chen nodded.
I nodded: "Yes, it is very likely that the river bureau has determined the location of Storm Valley and drew such a small arrow in order to clarify the direction of progress. It is a pity that they did not expect that they would give us an advantage in the end."
"But... how did they confirm the area they were in?" Hou Zimeng said in confusion: "We walked along the way, but we didn't see any reference objects that could determine the location."
"I don't know, maybe they are inferring, or maybe they discovered something... But it's not important. As long as we return the same way, we will know what is going on." I replied.
After listening to what I said, everyone felt that it made sense. It didn't matter which direction we went in anyway. Otherwise, we should follow the clues left by the river bureau. Maybe we would make some new discoveries.
"But there is a problem. When we saw Heju, they had already started fighting with Shaju. At this time, their direction of travel was already confused. We couldn't determine where they came from. What should we do?
How about walking back?" Sun Qing asked another question.
I have to say that the question Sun Qing asked was very critical. After pondering for a moment, I analyzed: "I personally think that the river bureau is unlikely to come from our side. After all, the space over there has disappeared, so I infer that it is the opposite."
direction."
Having said that, I pointed in the direction ahead and said: "It should be roughly this way. I guess even if it's different, it won't be too different. Let's just go in this direction. Anyway, we have to find a direction to go."
"good."
No one had any objections to this. After packing up our things, a group of us walked quietly in the direction I judged.
