He couldn't chase, but he also couldn't not chase.
It was not the first time that Yang Cong, who had been a professional for so many years, had encountered such an awkward situation in a match. Was there a third choice? Yang Cong didn't know. Perhaps there was, but he couldn't see it, so he could only choose one of the two. Even if neither choice was good, he had to choose. Any more hesitation would only make the situation worse.
Chase!
In the end, Yang Cong still chose to chase and let Happy occupy the high ground. This was an even more disadvantageous situation. As a result, when they saw this map, 301 Degrees' hearts thumped, which was why Yang Cong had come to investigate without hesitation. Yang Cong had discovered that from the moment they had focused on the high ground, they had already begun to make mistakes. As for why he hadn't realized that he wouldn't be able to block Su Mucheng, that could only be considered a small mistake. If he hadn't made this mistake, he would have just turned around and tried to close in on Dancing Rain, and then Su Mucheng would have Dancing Rain kite him. Perhaps he would have chosen to rush into the Paulownia Tower and run around in circles.
That was why they hadn't thought things through from the start. They had overlooked the possibility that Happy could use this high ground to reverse the situation.
Next time, what should they do?
This thought flashed through Yang Cong's mind, but he immediately erased it.
Now wasn't the time to think about this. First, he had to focus on dealing with the situation in front of him. If they made it to the playoffs, then it wouldn't be too late to carefully deal with this problem.
Scene Killer sprinted all the way to the rooftop. He could clearly hear the sound of artillery shells. Who knew how much support Dancing Rain had given him. And she was constantly paying attention to the rooftop exit. As soon as Scene Killer came up, Su Mucheng immediately saw him. And then, even though there was no voice, Yang Cong thought he heard Su Mucheng's laughter. Even though the character had no expression, he thought he saw Dancing Rain smile at him.
Without any hesitation, Dancing Rain jumped down from the rooftop.
Yang Cong didn't hesitate either. This was something he had expected. Without any hesitation, he also jumped down from the rooftop.
Flying Kick!
Anti-Tank Missiles!
Scene Killer stepped on Dancing Rain in midair, but at the same time, he was once again hit by Dancing Rain's cannon fire at close range.
Happy and the eight members of 301 Degrees were engaged in a fierce battle, and they didn't have the time to watch.
They knew what was happening on the other side. In comparison, 301 Degrees was obviously more anxious. Without Yang Cong, their strategy was missing a very important link. They didn't necessarily need to use Life-Risking Strike, but after successfully using this skill several times and demonstrating this tactic for everyone to see, Yang Cong's Scene Killer's existence had become a kind of restraint. With him in the formation, the opponent had to constantly pay attention to his movements, paying attention to whether or not he was planning such a move.
Team 301, on the other hand, would take advantage of this situation to expand further. In the end, the goal of the competition was only to win. Using the Life-Risking Strike was only one way to win, not the only way. However, the influence of this method was too great, so it was inevitable that it would be highly valued. This allowed 301's other attacks to be carried out smoothly. But this time, Yang Cong and Scene Killer weren't there. The strategy that 301 Degrees had been using for the first half of the season was now completely useless. The remaining four contended with Happy, and their playstyle wasn't subtle at all. However, Bai Shu's performance in a team was indeed much more eye-catching than when he was in a 1v1. Protecting, coordinating, and even charging at the front, he did all of this very well. He was already an indispensable part of this team's operation. There was no need to doubt this point.
Unfortunately, 301 Degrees only had a part of him. In the end, they had only lost their sharp sword. Contending, entangling, but unable to find a way to win.
As for Happy's four? Between Ye Xiu's Lord Grim and Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang's attacks and defenses, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash's Ghost Boundaries came down one after another.
Ghost Boundaries were dead, while players were alive. If it was a noob, they would probably think that Ghost Boundaries were easy to deal with: I just have to stay far away from it, and the opponent won't be able to do anything about it, right?
This kind of thinking wasn't wrong, but for a pro Phantom Demon, when he started setting up his Ghost Boundaries, it was like weaving a tight net. Breaking through it wasn't something that could be done with a simple "I'll stay far away from it". Especially in a team battle.
Ghost Boundaries were dead, while players were alive. These living players included the Phantom Demon's players!
In a team battle, if you wanted to retreat, you had to ensure that everyone could retreat. This clearly wasn't as easy as a solo player escaping and leaving the whole team safe. Cooperating with a Phantom Demon in a team battle was to take advantage of this point. They didn't need to restrict all of the opponent's characters. As long as they left one of them behind, it was the same as leaving the entire team behind. The opponent couldn't just watch one of their own fall.
Big trouble!
Seeing Ghost Boundaries set up one after another around them, 301 Degrees knew that the situation was getting worse and worse. They needed Yang Cong's support, but Yang Cong couldn't leave right now.
What to do?
"Attention." Two large words suddenly popped up in the chat. It was Bai Shu.
Attention? Attention to what?
301 Degrees' members knew that now wasn't the time to ask questions. They all adjusted their camera angles and paid attention to Bai Shu's Tide.
Elite Soldier's Spirit!
Bai Shu's Tide activated the Knight's Awakening skill and then waved the sword and shield in his hands with a Roar.
Sacrificial Roar!
Bai Shu had finally waited for an opportunity. An opportunity to control all four of Happy's characters at once. He instantly seized this opportunity and then released Sacrificial Roar. The skill's range was just enough to cover all four of Happy's characters.
He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. From the start, he had noticed that Happy was very wary of his aggro control skills. The occasional opportunity had appeared, but it had always been a trap.
As expected of Ye Xiu!
Bai Shu now had a whole new level of respect for Ye Xiu. Not only was his skill a level higher than his, but the team he led was also very well-coordinated. However, Bai Shu believed that there would definitely be an opportunity. No one could operate as precisely as a machine, so he patiently persevered and patiently waited. He carefully observed and prepared to seize this opportunity.
Now, he had waited.
After Sacrificial Roar, all four of Happy's attacks were forcefully focused on him. However, Roar and Provoke were different. Provoke transferred aggro to a target in a time unit and could only be used on one target at a time. Roar could be used on all targets in the area, but it could only be used once.
For ranged classes, getting rid of Roar's status was very simple. They just needed to quickly attack the target. But for melee classes, it was more troublesome. If there was a distance, they would have to get close first. If they didn't get close, the system would determine whether or not the skill was an attack on the target. Currently, the system wasn't that easy to trick. It would accurately determine whether or not the skill was a threat to the Knight based on the target's attack range.
Ye Xiu and Fang Rui both had long-range attacks. The second after Lord Grim and Hai Wuliang were hit by Sacrificial Roar, they immediately attacked Tide to get rid of the status. However, even so, their offensive was interrupted for a moment. The other three members of 301 Degrees were free to do whatever they wanted.
Happy was in the most difficult position right now, but Qiao Yifan. Ghostblades could control the power of the Ghost God, so their attack range was much higher than Blade Masters, but right now, they couldn't just stand there and raise their hands to effectively attack Tide. Qiao Yifan could only have One Inch Ash hurry forward. Unfortunately, Bai Shu's main target was his Ghostblade. He wanted to drag out the distance so that One Inch Ash couldn't attack and thus destroy his control over the chain of Ghost Boundaries.
From this point of view, Sacrificial Roar's effect was a bit overpowered. If the opponent couldn't attack effectively, then the effect of dragging the opponent forward would always exist.
However, it wasn't easy to maintain this overpowered effect on the battlefield because Happy had two characters who could get rid of the status.
The Qi Master's Calm and Composed.
The Cleric's Focus.
Both could get rid of the Taunt status. Happy just so happened to have both of these classes in his team.
At this point, if 301 Degrees' players still didn't know how to cooperate with Bai Shu, then they really couldn't call themselves pro players.
Triple Slash!
The instant Tide's Sacrificial Roar was released, Gao Jie understood Bai Shu's intentions. Stellar Sword danced with the White Light Sword in his hand. Ray after ray of pale sword light flew towards Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang, not giving him a chance to use Calm and Composed.
Bai Shu, on the other hand, used Knight's Spirit to personally make a move. He charged towards An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands with a Heroic Charge.
Li Yihui's Grappler Moving Mountain rushed towards Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.
Unspecialized characters under the normal skill tree wouldn't have a skill that could get rid of the Taunt status, but Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella could add a skill to every form, so they had to be on guard against him.
As expected!
When 301 Degrees' players saw Lord Grim's movements, they immediately panicked.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hands had already been split into two, becoming tonfas in his left and right hands. His two palms were closed together, and he circulated his Qi. It was clearly the Qi Master's Calm and Composed cast.
Don't even think about it!!
Li Yihui was truly panicking. His Grappler's attack range couldn't be any shorter. It seemed like he wouldn't make it in time. However, the former All Star Grappler wouldn't give up so easily.
Roundhouse Kick!
Li Yihui's Moving Mountain leapt into the air, quickly slashing out. His two legs looked like he was about to clamp down, but there was no target in his range. However, his jump perfectly matched One Inch Ash's movements. Lord Grim wanted to use Calm and Composed, but his target was blocked, so he couldn't hit One Inch Ash.
This was also a small trick outside the arena, but it was very effective.
Lord Grim's Calm and Composed couldn't make a move. He didn't want to waste it, so he ended up hitting himself. Li Yihui let out a long sigh. Then, he saw Lord Grim's two tonfas reconnect. Kaka, with a flip, they instantly expanded into a scythe.
A Priest weapon!
Li Yihui's expression immediately changed back to normal.
Priest classes had too many skills that could get rid of the Taunt status. The Cleric's Focus, the Knight's Immovable Mountain, the Exorcist's Calming Talisman, and the Paladin's Purify. All four classes had this type of skill. Apart from the Knight, who could only buff himself, the other three could all buff the target.
This Ye Xiu, after casting Calm and Composed on the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, was he still adding a skill with the same effect?
