High ground? They're going to take the high ground again?
The audience was startled.
Even though Ye Xiu had turned off the incinerator and his Lord Grim was guarding it, Samsara had three players. If Ye Xiu was alone, he probably wouldn't be able to defend it, right?
But the players quickly realized what was going on. Because they had an omniscient view, they could clearly see that Samsara had three players on their side. Ye Xiu hadn't even charged towards the exit before retreating. He didn't know about Samsara's entourage. As a result, he signaled for them to take the high ground first. That wasn't a bad choice. At the very least, the incinerator was under his control. Even if he discovered that the other three were attacking and couldn't defend it, he would still be able to send a message to Su Mucheng to give up the high ground.
Happy's group of four was approaching. After receiving Ye Xiu's message, Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain immediately sped up, leaving the team and rushing towards the storeroom.
At the storeroom exit.
Zhou Zekai, Jiang Botao, and Sun Xiang surrounded the area, but their opponents didn't appear.
Because they were long-ranged, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer was standing slightly behind them. He could see the top of the chimney and quickly noticed that the smoke was thinning.
"It's turned off." He typed in the chat.
The others immediately understood that the incinerator had been turned off again.
If it was turned off, they could take the high ground, but Samsara hadn't taken any precautions against the high ground.
"Enter!" Jiang Botao typed.
Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn led the way. Jiang Botao's Empty Waves followed behind. Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer brought up the rear. The three didn't split up, but instead headed towards the storeroom together.
One left, one right!
One Leaf Of Autumn and Empty Waves' movements were orderly and nimble. They were clearly very familiar with the interior of the storeroom. As soon as the two split up, they immediately looked behind the trash on the left and right, but didn't find anything.
"Enter!" Jiang Botao typed again.
The three characters split up, each taking a path and pressing forward together. All of them moved slowly, not making the slightest sound as they approached the furnace. About halfway through, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer suddenly jumped up from the pile of trash next to him. With two jumps, he was standing on top of the pile of trash. He glanced over and immediately saw Lord Grim crouching in the corner.
Boom! Boom!
In the end, it was Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella that lit up first. He seemed to be looking in this direction, waiting for the target to appear.
Zhou Zekai reacted extremely quickly. Cloud Piercer immediately rolled backwards and disappeared from Lord Grim's line of sight. The anti-tank cannons landed and exploded on the garbage heap. These pieces of trash were all tattered and broken. After the three blasts, debris flew everywhere. It was as if it was raining. It was very lively.
Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer rolled backwards to avoid the attack. Then, he rolled forward twice, crouching on top of the pile of trash. His windbreaker was spread out on top of the pile of trash. It made one's heart ache.
Bang bang bang bang!
Cloud Piercer's dual pistols pointed at Lord Grim's location and fired, but Lord Grim was no longer there. The bullets hit the pile of trash and sent it flying everywhere.
The exchange of fire quickly attracted Sun Xiang and Jiang Botao's attention. Zhou Zekai fired back while reporting Lord Grim's coordinates. Sun Xiang and Jiang Botao combined their judgment of this location and came up with a response. The two characters shuttled back and forth below, blocking off Lord Grim's path.
"None!" Zhou Zekai saw that the target had disappeared and immediately sent another message. The two received the message and became even more vigilant. Where would Lord Grim appear?
Even some of the audience members with omniscient views were worried because they couldn't see him. The storeroom had already been turned translucent by the holographic projection. The garbage inside couldn't be turned translucent as well, otherwise the effect wouldn't be good if they were stacked together. This had been proven in practice.
As a result, some of the audience members could see where Lord Grim was hiding, while others couldn't. Those that couldn't be seen could only be seen on the big screen. Then, the holographic projection would compare the location. When the comparison was made, the audience became even more anxious! Lord Grim was crouching there, while Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn was slowly approaching. This was the rhythm of a sneak attack!
Who would have thought that when One Leaf Of Autumn was two steps away, he would suddenly stop? And then, on the other side, Jiang Botao's Empty Waves suddenly sped up and rushed out.
Their eyes met.
Bang bang!
Gunshots rang out. In the end, Ye Xiu reacted faster. As soon as Empty Waves appeared, he immediately fired two shots.
But One Leaf Of Autumn's Evil Annihilation stabbed out amidst the gunshots.
Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart!
The spear pierced through the garbage without any decrease in power.
Ye Xiu was saved by his good awareness. At the same time that he fired two shots at Empty Waves, in order to guard against a possible counterattack, Lord Grim rolled backwards. It was this excellent defensive habit that allowed him to dodge the Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart. Seeing that familiar spear, Ye Xiu thought to himself that he had been lucky. He hadn't expected someone to get this close.
Cloud Piercer, Empty Waves, One Leaf Of Autumn.
There were actually three of them. Was there a fourth? Or even a fifth? If there was a fifth, it couldn't be a healer. A healer couldn't move so quickly. If there were five of them, then it would be a full offensive formation. There was no reason for them to be so unrestrained. In reality, three of them was already extremely aggressive. If he had been in their position, he would have sent two of them out first, while the other two would stay behind to protect the healer. If the other side's formation was like this …
"Storey's three, kill the healer!" Ye Xiu quickly ordered in the chat.
These words required a certain amount of thought and analysis.
Kill the healer? Where? He needed to deduce from Storey's three. Happy was closer to the storeroom than Samsara, but three of them had already reached the storeroom. Why? Because they had shaken off the healer. So the healer stayed behind them as they rushed from Samsara's spawn point to the storeroom. One was a healer, so there was someone protecting him. Who was the healer protecting him?
"One by one, None." Ye Xiu messaged again.
Two ones, Cloud Piercer, One Leaf Of Autumn. None, Empty Waves.
The information was clear. The healer at the back was either Lu Boyuan or Du Ming. No matter who it was, Happy's healer was absolutely safe. He wouldn't be attacked, so he could be left behind for now.
As a result, Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang and Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash decisively sped up. Dancing Rain, who had been the first to leave the team, had already reached the storeroom. Ye Xiu's previous instructions were to get to the high ground. But now that they were sure that Samsara's three were already in the storeroom, the high ground wouldn't be of any help. To kill Samsara's healer, the high ground was too far back, so Su Mucheng decisively gave up on the high ground. She relied on the powerful recoil of her cannon to jump up three meters into the storeroom and then rushed towards the storeroom's exit.
This was where the players needed to adapt to the situation. Even if the commander had just given the order, it was very likely that the situation would change because of some sudden change. At this time, the players needed to make their own decisions and adjust their actions according to the situation.
Inside the storeroom, Ye Xiu was facing off against Samsara's three heads by himself. He naturally couldn't fight them head on. After narrowly avoiding One Leaf Of Autumn's Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart, he sent out messages and instructions in Happy's chat, while throwing a grenade at the corner of the trash pile.
Sun Xiang's view was blocked by the trash pile, so he didn't know that a grenade had been thrown. The Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart actually missed, and One Leaf Of Autumn was about to rush out. But even if he couldn't see it, Jiang Botao could see it clearly.
"Dodge!"
The message, the grenade, and One Leaf Of Autumn's right foot all fell at the same time.
Boom!
The grenade exploded at the same time as Sun Xiang saw Jiang Botao's message. How could he dodge in time? One Leaf Of Autumn was blown back by the shockwave. Jiang Botao's Empty Waves rushed over, but Lord Grim had already turned around and went behind the trash pile.
Jiang Botao's Empty Waves specialized in Wave Slash, but it wasn't like he didn't know Wave Formation. He stopped and raised Divine Chains, about to cast a spell to gather the power of the waves. But as soon as he raised his sword, Lord Grim suddenly leaned back. He had anticipated that Jiang Botao would cast a wave formation and interrupt his chant.
However, Jiang Botao merely smiled.
You anticipated me, but I also anticipated that you would anticipate me.
Divine Chains chopped down!
This was not the chanting of a Wave Formation, but the accumulation of power for a Ghost Slash.
The purple light that symbolized the power of the Ghost God flew out, crackling as it hit the air. This slash wasn't aimed at Lord Grim's half body, but at the trash pile at the corner.
Ye Xiu saw the angle of attack, but didn't rush to attack. Lord Grim immediately jumped back. The Ghost Slash fell, landing squarely on the trash pile. The pile of garbage in the corner suddenly collapsed and gushed down. If Ye Xiu hadn't told Lord Grim to jump back, he would have been pushed down by the trash.
"Sly!" As Lord Grim turned around and walked away, Ye Xiu didn't forget to trash talk.
Of course, he was mocking Jiang Botao, but he was also sending a message to his teammates, letting them know that he could still handle the situation here. Otherwise, he wouldn't be mocking his opponent when he had time to type, but would be shouting for help instead.
Twisting, dodging again. Lord Grim's figure was always pushed as low as possible by Ye Xiu, and this kind of crawling and rolling movement was very familiar to everyone. This was clearly Fang Rui's dirty style of movement!
"This guy, what can't he do!" Zhang Jiale couldn't help but sigh. Even though they had known each other for nine years, he knew that Ye Xiu's title as a textbook wasn't just for show. Many of the techniques and playstyles in Glory had been created by Ye Xiu, but that wasn't everything. For example, Zhang Jiale's Hundred Blossoms style, or Fang Rui's dirty playstyle, were all created by them.
These playstyles had been established as their signature playstyles, but of course, they weren't the only ones who could use them. Players of the same class would also apply what they had learned. But Ye Xiu had been a Battle Mage in the past. He wasn't a Spitfire or a Thief, yet he was able to grasp their playstyles. Then, he found their weaknesses and targeted them. It couldn't be more annoying.
"If the three of us can't deal with him, then what's the point of fighting!" Huang Shaotian also yelled. The pro players were all fired up. It seemed that some of their nerves had been touched.
