No one had expected the situation to turn out like this. Everyone had thought that Lord Grim would have to struggle to stay alive. They had thought about whether Lord Grim would live or die. But now? It seemed like Zhang Jiale and Dazzling Hundred Blossoms were the ones who needed to worry.
It was a pincer attack. Just having to watch from both sides was a headache. Even though pro players were well-trained in this area, it didn't mean that they could handle a pincer attack with ease.
Kill Lord Grim?
Zhang Jiale felt more and more like he didn't need to worry about this problem. He should worry about himself first. If he tried to kill Lord Grim in this situation, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' health would drop at a frightening rate. His attacks wouldn't be able to deal any damage to Lord Grim either. If this continued, he would be the one to die.
Retreat first?
That seemed safer. With Little Cold Hands under control, killing Lord Grim wouldn't take too long. Han Wenqing's Desert Dust would also arrive in the blink of an eye.
On the surface, it looked like this, but Zhang Jiale knew that this so-called safer option was just wishful thinking. As soon as he retreated and stopped pressuring Happy, Happy wouldn't need to use his offense to suppress him. Then, they would definitely turn their attention to Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder and rescue Little Cold Hands.
Once Little Cold Hands was protected by Happy, their advantage would be solidified.
No matter how many twists and turns there were in the team competition, attacking the healer was always the most fatal. Zhang Jiale's pressure on Lord Grim had become a means of restricting Happy's ability to focus on protecting the healer. From this perspective, it could be seen how important Ye Xiu was to Happy.
If it were any other team, they would probably give up on protecting the attacker and prioritize protecting the healer. Even if it was a 4v5, with the support of the healer, their chances of winning weren't low. This wasn't just imagination. There were clear statistics. In Glory's ten years of professional competition, there had been 101 instances where a team of four healers beat a team of five without a healer. Of those, 74 were won by the four-healer team.
In the fourth season, Zhang Xinjie assisted Han Wenqing in breaking the Excellent Era dynasty. In the fifth and seventh seasons, the so-called God of Healing, Fang Shiqian, protected the Micrograss and helped Wang Jiexi lead the team to two championships. In this era, there was even a saying that "the world belongs to the healer."
This was how important a healer's influence on a team was. In a team battle, there were many ways to deal with a healer. This season, Team Happy's healer wasn't viewed favorably by many, but Happy had taken advantage of this point in many battles, digging holes for themselves. This was a classic example of using the healer's value in reverse.
The healer wouldn't be let go. Even if Happy let Little Cold Hands be attacked in order to protect Lord Grim, as soon as the pressure on them decreased, they would immediately turn their firepower. They definitely would.
Therefore, he could not retreat. He must not retreat.
1v3. Even if he had to grind his teeth to pieces, he had to fight. Attack Lord Grim!
Zhang Jiale did not retreat. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms did not retreat.
This toughness was something that everyone present could feel, and the meaning behind this toughness was something that everyone was well aware of. Happy wanted to force Zhang Jiale back and then save Little Cold Hands, killing two birds with one stone. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiale did not retreat, not even in death.
If he didn't retreat, Happy would not be able to switch targets. The opening created by switching targets was enough for Zhang Jiale to kill any target with only 7% health left.
What else could they do?
Happy's killing of Immovable Rock was already an incredible performance. What about now? How could they break out of this stalemate? Desert Dust's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Even further away, Qin Muyun's Negative Nine Degrees was getting closer and closer.
Could he instantly kill Dazzling Hundred Blossoms?
Difficult!
Even though it was a 3v1, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim didn't dare to get too close. After all, his life was hanging by a thread. He needed a safe space to deal with the attacks. Even though the summons and Dancing Rain's heavy artillery dealt decent damage, it wasn't enough to instantly end the battle. After all, Zhang Jiale wasn't an immovable wooden dummy.
In the end, Ye Xiu had to take the risk and attack. Lord Grim needed to close in and kill Dazzling Hundred Blossoms with 7% health.
The camera was already focused on Lord Grim. But at this moment, light suddenly flashed beneath Little Cold Hands and Dark Thunder's feet. A summoning circle formed, dyeing the ground dark. A Devil World Flower quietly broke through the earth and drilled out!
Whoosh!
Vines immediately wrapped around Dark Thunder's ankles. He had no choice but to dodge. If he didn't dodge, his movements would be restricted. It was because of Devil World Flower's powerful crowd control ability that every Summoner was unwilling to give up on. It was also the first target that any Summoner would try to kill.
Luo Ji was too insignificant. No one expected him to be the one to break out of this stalemate.
With the Devil World Flower's interference, Dark Thunder's attacks on Little Cold Hands were immediately blocked. An Wenyi took this opportunity to have Little Cold Hands pull away. However, Lin Jingyan was experienced. Within the Devil World Flower's range, he was still able to suppress Little Cold Hands' attacks. It was just that his efficiency couldn't compare to before. Under this kind of tempo, An Wenyi could still grab a healer.
Luo Ji seemed to have tasted the sweetness of victory. Concealed Light waved his staff again and another summon appeared next to the Devil World Flower. Summoners could rely on their summons to fight on multiple fronts. At this moment, Luo Ji's summons were split into two.
The summoning circle was quickly completed. It clearly wasn't a very high-level summon.
Goblins.
The lowest level summon of a Summoner. However, as a passing skill, there was no Summoner that couldn't summon it. And this weakest summon was rarely a threat on the battlefield. It was mostly used as a sacrifice.
However, at this moment, to Lin Jingyan, who was in a hurry to control Little Cold Hands, this Goblins was unprecedentedly annoying and ugly.
No matter how weak Goblins were, they would still attack the target. If they attacked, there would be some sort of effect. And for Dark Thunder to deal with this effect, he would need at least one attack, no matter how small it was. This attack was an opening for An Wenyi.
Goblins wobbled as he threw a rock at Lin Jingyan, as if he was throwing a difficult problem.
At the same time, Lin Jingyan saw the third summoning circle … …
Luo Ji's Concealed Light walked the Four Beast Style. The number of summons he could control was around four or five. However, this didn't mean that his Concealed Light only had these four beasts and the Devil World Flower that no one would give up.
Hua … … with a heavy sound, the Death Knight walked out of the summoning circle. As the core summon of another Summoner Style, running to the Four Saint Style as a side character was a very rare choice. After all, the skill points required to summon a Death Knight weren't low.
But … … skill points, that was where Happy was most abundant … …
