The time of the match was 20 minutes and 50 seconds.
In the middle lane, the blue team's ADC, Virtuoso, had already ushered in a new wave of minions near the river mouth, accompanied by his support teammate, Ox-Head.
It was an A.
He threw a Lotus Trap at the feet of three purple long-range minions at the back with an E Skill, Overwhelming Crush.
He then followed up with a Q Skill, Dancing Grenade.
The grenade bounced back and forth between the few purple minions, blowing off chunks of their HP. Combined with the explosion damage from the E Skill Trap Bomb, the three long-range minions were taken away. Immediately after that, Virtuoso raised his gun and fired an A. It hit the body of the minions with low HP.
Bang!
A Fatal Splendor shot out from the W Skill, piercing through the bodies of the remaining two purple minions with low HP.
There were six minions in one wave of minions.
It only took a few seconds for Virtuoso Ember to finish off the minions and take them away.
At this point in time, the ADC's speed at finishing off the minions was still very fast. Seeing that his teammate had finished clearing the minions, Shadow Shadow quickly issued a warning reminder.
"That's enough. Let's go."
This was indeed part of the plan.
Virtuoso, who had replenished his finances with this wave of minions, could now buy a Storm Greatsword from the spring water equipment store after returning to the city. Moreover, he would be able to retreat unscathed. It could be said to be an ideal outcome.
However, it seemed that the additional wave of minions did not bring about any danger. This allowed the main ADC of the Rapid Water team to relax a little. He couldn't help but take another look at the purple side defensive tower not far away.
The middle tower opposite them had already been mostly destroyed by their mid laner Jiaoyue during the earlier phase of the line battle. Now, it only had a few strands of HP left.
It just so happened that the minions in the middle lane had been finished clearing, and the blue team's new wave of minions was about to be pushed over.
Together with the minions, they only needed two or three A. They would be able to remove the opponent's outer tower in the middle lane.
This became a huge temptation.
If they could take down an extra outer tower for no reason, not only would it be beneficial to the ADC, Virtuoso, but it would also replenish their finances. At the same time, taking down the opponent's tower in the middle lane would also help their blue team relieve some of the pressure in terms of vision and competition.
Hence …
The ADC of the Rapid Water team could not help but feel tempted.
"There's no rush.
We can take down this outer tower — "
Indeed.
Looking at the minimap, he could see that the purple team's top lane Swordmistress had appeared at the second tower at the bottom lane. The mid lane Clockwork Demon had also appeared at the top lane. The view of both sides of the jungle river ensured that the ADC Obama and support Hammerstone weren't nearby. They were probably walking down from the high ground.
On the other hand, if they sent two players to destroy the tower, it would only take six to seven seconds at most, and they could retreat after destroying the tower.
From the looks of it … there shouldn't be any risk.
The ADC from Team Rapid Water did not discuss further with his support partner next to him right away. He controlled his ADC, Virtuoso, and led the minions directly toward the purple team's defense tower with low HP. He did not forget to comfort his partner. "That's right.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"We'll leave immediately after the push!"
However, while he was speaking, his gaze had already landed on the defensive tower with low HP. He couldn't shift his gaze away.
As a support, Leather Puppet couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. As a bottom lane teammate who had been partnered with him for a season, he knew his partner's personality and temper very well. There was no point in trying to persuade him.
Of course, it would be a good thing if they could successfully take down this defense tower.
However …
Would the opponents really let go of a middle tower so easily?
Leather Puppet's gaze swept across the minimap again, somewhat on guard. Although the opponents' top laner and mid laner had revealed themselves, the remaining three players … especially the jungler … were still a huge threat.
…
In the middle lane, the minions entered the tower.
Virtuoso, who was controlled by Team Rapid Water's ADC, had already followed the minions and walked forward. He raised his gun and fired a straight attack at the defense tower with low HP.
The HP bar of the Defense Tower dropped by a visible sliver once again.
Indeed, his calculations were correct. At most, he would only need two or three more straight attacks, combined with the damage dealt by the minions, to destroy the purple team's outer defense tower in the middle lane.
However, at the same time, Leather Puppet, who was the blue team's support, became even more vigilant. His gaze swept back and forth on the minimap at lightning speed.
Clearly, the two of them in the middle lane were about to destroy the defense tower. However, be it Single Sword Lady or Clockwork Clockwork, both of them seemed to be retreating methodically from their respective lanes. They had no intention of coming over to defend at all.
Was it because they knew they could not defend this tower, so they simply gave it up?
However, if that was the case, why had the other three players on the opposing team not shown themselves yet?
Logically speaking, the opponents' ADC, Obama, and their support, Hammerstone, should have rushed to the middle lane by now. However, the opposing ADC and support duo had yet to appear in their field of vision …
This made it even more obvious that something was amiss.
If one did not even show themselves, it could only mean one thing …
That was …
Deliberately making one lower their guard, only when they thought they were in the safest environment would they be caught off guard by a sudden, violent attack!
All of a sudden, an indescribable, intense sense of danger rose in Leather Puppet's heart!
It was also at this very moment …
As a dark purple mist suddenly exploded and dispersed, a cold, mysterious, and slender figure suddenly appeared on the side of the blue team's ADC, Virtuoso. Just as the purple team's outer tower in the middle lane had a sliver of HP left, the figure of the purple team's jungler, Evelyn, suddenly appeared like a ghost!
She pounced on her target, Virtuoso, as fast as lightning!
Below the stage, a commotion erupted!
…
As early as the purple team's advance in the middle lane, Widow Evelyn's damage had been directly displayed. Just as the blue team's ADC, Virtuoso, was about to move forward and start dealing damage, Evelyn suddenly burst forth and forcefully attacked her target prey from the flank.
Her burst instantly killed Ember, who could not react in time.
Now, more than four minutes had passed since the previous team battle.
Widow Evelyn's growth was even better.
This also meant that when she forcefully attacked the target ADC, Virtuoso, Evelyn's burst damage was more than enough to directly kill her prey in a flash!
It was true.
Perhaps it would only take a second.
Her cold, enchanting body moved agilely and bewitchingly, instantly closing in.
Before almost everyone in the arena could react, the jungler, Widowmaker, was already charging toward the target ADC, Virtuoso, with an extremely dense killing intent.
Skill Q's' Abomination Stinger 'suddenly rose from the ground and pierced through Ember's body. Meanwhile, Evelyn's movement speed was even faster than the skill's casting speed. She gracefully cut in front of her target.
Her ultimate skill was a straight A followed by an E followed by a Q.
For a veteran jungler like Widow Evelyn, all the combos, from the moment they were cast to the moment they ended, were completed in a single breath.
It was almost a hundred percent certain that the target, the fragile ADC hero, would be killed on the spot.
Perhaps most other professional support players would not be able to react in time. They would have to watch helplessly as their ADC teammate was killed by Widow Evelyn in one shot.
However …
Fortunately …
This time, the blue team's support, Ox-Head, was the main support player of the Rapid Water team.
It was Leather Puppet.
