"High ground?"
"Obvious!"
Happy's team chat appeared, concise and comprehensive.
The person who said "high ground" was Su Mucheng. If a Launcher occupied a high ground, they would be able to coordinate better. This was common knowledge. The chimney in front of them wasn't too high or too low. It was the perfect height for a Launcher to use their range. As a Launcher, if she didn't have any thoughts about such a high ground, she wouldn't be qualified.
But Ye Xiu quickly replied, "Obvious."
An obvious high ground, a known class composition. Samsara had chosen this map. How could they not know the significance of this high ground for Happy? Since they knew, how could they give an advantage to their opponents in the finals? It wasn't possible. This obvious advantage was more likely to be bait.
"It's close." Fang Rui quickly said.
He judged the distance. The high ground was closer to them. No matter what, Happy would be able to occupy this high ground first. If Samsara used this high ground as bait, they would definitely be able to deal with a Launcher's high ground. What would that be?
"Let's go take a look." Ye Xiu ordered. Happy's team set out. Target, high ground.
Communication was only a few words, but it was enough to convey his meaning. Even the normal viewers could understand Happy's initial intentions from these words: the high ground was bait, so they wouldn't fight for it. Instead, they would observe Samsara's arrangements for the high ground and find an opening.
The team advanced, but Ye Xiu's Lord Grim moved even faster, quickly leaving the team behind. He wanted to be the first to observe the high ground.
With the advantage of distance and the ability to quickly leave the team, with Ye Xiu's experience, even if he wasn't familiar with the map, he would be able to quickly find an opening. But the spectators, who had an omniscient view, saw Ye Xiu's actions and wanted to light a candle for him.
Because on Samsara's side, there were also characters who left the team and moved quickly. And it wasn't just one, but three.
Zhou Zekai, Cloud Piercer.
Sun Xiang, One Leaf Of Autumn.
Jiang Botao, Empty Waves.
The three characters formed a triangle. After setting off from the spawn point, they gradually left the other two characters behind. Lu Boyuan's Chaotic Cloudy Mountain was left behind to protect the slower Fang Minghua's Cleric, Laughing Song.
Happy didn't rashly try to grab this obvious high point, but his cautious attitude was within Samsara's grasp. They had even predicted that Happy would send a vanguard to quickly approach them to investigate. The three characters charging at him in a triangle formation were extremely targeted. Would Ye Xiu's Lord Grim be knocked out in one wave like this?
The television broadcast showed a bird's eye view. There were four dots on the map that were quickly moving in this direction. The direction was quite clear. It was the chimney on the roof of the warehouse.
However, Ye Xiu really wasn't holding back at all. He continuously used several low-level movement skills. As a result, even if Samsara had left their long-legged healer behind, they were still much slower than the solo Lord Grim. In addition, they were already quite far away. Ye Xiu's advantage of arriving first was very clear. It was just that they didn't know how long he would be delayed here.
The cursor flashed and approached. Finally, they arrived at the edge of the warehouse.
Selke City's warehouses were made up of many warehouses of various sizes. There were high, medium, and low level warehouses. This warehouse was a low level warehouse. It was no more than three meters high, but it was still a height that a character couldn't reach with a single jump. But for Ye Xiu, height was meaningless. Rotor Wing and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's Ninjato mode could easily overcome three meters of obstacles. At this moment, Lord Grim had transformed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella into Ninjato mode. After two jumps, Lord Grim was already on the roof of the warehouse. The chimney was in front of him. It was around fifteen meters high. Adding on the height of the warehouse, it was close to twenty meters above sea level. It was indeed a very suitable height for a Launcher.
With the advantage of distance and movement speed, Ye Xiu didn't consider the possibility that Samsara had already made preparations. Lord Grim charged straight for the chimney. His camera occasionally turned left and right, observing the terrain.
Warehouses. There were plenty of warehouses in Selke City's warehouses. Warehouses of different sizes and heights were distributed in an orderly manner in this area. To the left of the warehouse with the chimney was a low level warehouse that was around seven meters high. To the right, there was a warehouse that suddenly rose two meters, reaching a height of five meters.
Seven meters to the left and five meters to the right. These roofs could both shorten the distance to the chimney. But even so, apart from Zhou Zekai's Sharpshooter, none of Team Samsara's other classes could reach the chimney. Zhou Zekai's Sharpshooter was a huge threat because there was limited space at the top of the chimney. There was also no cover. It was practically a live target. Seven meters to the left and five meters to the right, there was too much space on the roof to fire at the Launcher who was completely exposed. It would be easy to force the enemy to come down.
But that was before.
After Level 75, Launchers would gain an additional skill. Su Mucheng had frequently used Steady Gun Mount in today's match. Once this skill was activated, Launchers wouldn't have to worry about being knocked down by the impact of the shots. During this skill's duration, they could provide even more firepower to Happy. Of course, they would also have to sacrifice some health. As for which side would gain the upper hand, that would depend on their performance. Ye Xiu didn't think that Samsara would make any preparations to deal with the chimney. It was just a situation that depended on their performance. Of course, the person who would be able to suppress the chimney would be the powerful Zhou Zekai, but just because of this, it would be a bit too much of a mistake. Samsara's two consecutive championships hadn't been won by such reckless trust.
Would there be any other possible changes?
Lord Grim had already reached the bottom of the chimney. There was a ladder at the top of the chimney. Ye Xiu had Lord Grim climb up and reach the top in the blink of an eye. Looking around, the view was excellent. If they started a fight here, with the support of a Launcher at this high point, they would definitely be able to fight comfortably. As a result, relying on Zhou Zekai's Sharpshooter to suppress the chimney was even more impossible!
Before, Ye Xiu had only felt that it depended on their performance on the spot, but now that he had a complete understanding of the vision and firepower from this high vantage point, Ye Xiu suddenly felt that the firepower from this high vantage point would allow Happy to perform even better.
Then, where did Samsara's confidence come from? Was it in a blind spot that couldn't be reached, or …
Ye Xiu lowered his camera and looked down at the chimney.
Right now, the chimney wasn't emitting smoke, but if there was a way to make it work, then the Launcher at the top of the chimney wouldn't be able to see so well amidst the billowing smoke.
In other words, Samsara's control of this high point was only because it was the chimney itself?
Lord Grim shrunk his body and directly jumped down the chimney. Nearly twenty meters was enough for a character to take damage, but Lord Grim had the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hands, so he could go up and down as he pleased. After sliding down a bit, he used his ninjato and safely reached the bottom, but he ended up in a pile of filthy trash. After looking around, he saw light and struggled to find it. When he came out, Lord Grim was already in the storeroom. Connected to this chimney was a large incinerator. This storeroom was filled with all sorts of trash. It seemed like a place specifically for incinerating trash.
Ye Xiu quickly found the switch. After pulling it, the incinerator lit up and the tracks began to move, continuously transporting trash into the incinerator.
Sure enough.
Ye Xiu was now certain that this high point couldn't be used because of the building's function.
"It's smoking!"
The incinerator's efficiency was astonishing. Not long after pulling the switch, thick smoke began to rise from the chimney. Happy and Samsara both sent out messages at the same time.
"This chimney can actually be used," Pan Lin said.
"It's a good thing that Ye Xiu discovered this point ahead of time," Li Yibo said.
"The two sides haven't come into contact yet, but they've already had a battle of wits," Pan Lin said.
"But it looks like Samsara has thought of more!" Li Yibo said with a smile after looking at some information.
"Oh?" Pan Lin was puzzled.
"Look at the exit of this storeroom," Li Yibo reminded Pan Lin, and at the same time reminded the audience.
The exit of the storeroom.
The broadcast quickly showed a close-up of the exit, but only a portion of the audience could see it, while the rest could only rely on the big screen to understand. Because everyone was in different positions, they were looking in different directions and from different angles. The exit of the storeroom was facing east, so the audience on the east side could see it the clearest, while the audience on the west side was at a loss. However, the projection in the stadium quickly adjusted to the situation. Originally, it had only been translucent after Lord Grim jumped down the chimney, but now, it had been translucent to the entire storeroom. Everyone could see Lord Grim's movements inside the storeroom. This was a necessary technique when projecting a map with an interior and exterior.
After seeing this, the audience, who had an omniscient view, quickly understood the meaning behind Li Yibo's words.
There was only one exit to the storeroom. The exit was facing east, which was the direction Samsara was coming from. If Lord Grim wanted to leave the storeroom, this was the only way. However, Samsara's three-man squad was closer to the exit. They could completely seal off the exit before Lord Grim did. The smoke coming out of the chimney gave the three of them this signal. Without hesitation, the three of them rushed to the exit.
However, they didn't see Lord Grim.
When Ye Xiu was looking for the exit of the warehouse and found that it was to the east, he immediately realized this. Sure enough, he didn't go towards the exit. He turned around and turned on the incinerator.
He tried to probe inside. His health dropped!
The temperature inside the incinerator was too high, which would cause damage. He wouldn't be able to climb out of the chimney for a while.
There were piles of junk around him. Ye Xiu found a place for Lord Grim to hide. At the same time, he sent out a message: "Get to the high ground!"
