The storm wasn't just about to come. It was really coming.
At the two ends of the canyon, the two groups of NPCs rushed out like a tide. Shouts and footsteps mixed together. Dust quickly flew through the canyon, converging towards the center of the canyon. At the same time, the ambushers on both sides of the canyon began to move. They paid attention to the situation below while converging towards the center of the canyon.
All of this could be seen clearly by everyone, but Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang didn't know. The two continued to stand still. As the two sides drew closer and closer, the sounds could be heard. From the corners of their eyes, swaying figures began to appear.
The two continued to stand still.
At this moment, it wasn't just a competition of patience, concentration, but also determination.
With the interference of the NPCs, the two would have to make a move sooner or later. And now, it was a competition of who could endure until the last moment.
Normally, in a match, the players would impatiently fight to be the first, afraid that they wouldn't be fast enough and wouldn't be able to get ahead of their opponent. But today, in Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang's match, the two had suppressed the situation to this extent. It was as if they were playing a game of who would lose first.
In reality, it wasn't that desperate. The one who made the first move might be able to seize the initiative. But the two didn't take this risk.
Yes, it was a risk.
It was clearly an extremely normal situation of attacking from a standstill, but the two actually viewed it as a risk. In this match, the two's cautiousness could be described as deranged. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have reached such a stalemate.
But not only did Ye Xiu do this, what shocked the pro players even more was Sun Xiang. This arrogant and impatient young man was actually able to restrain his emotions and compete with his opponent in patience and determination?
In their eyes, this was using one's weak point to attack the other's strong point. This sort of stalemate wasn't just a matter of throwing away the mouse and keyboard and sitting there in a daze. It required a high degree of concentration and constant calmness and calmness.
Anyone could do it for a short while, but it would be difficult to maintain such a stable state of mind for a long time, especially not in line with Sun Xiang's usual personality. There were really not many people who thought that he could control such a style.
But now, he was about to face the big test. The event had been refreshed, and the NPC team was approaching. The canyon, which was not wide to begin with, was blocked by two groups of NPCs. What they needed to consider next was no longer the problem of opponents.
Time was counting down, and the distance was shrinking. The NPCs on both sides of the battlefield were already in their battle formations. In Glory, NPCs were also categorized according to their classes. However, their skill trees were much more monotonous. Normal NPCs usually only had one or two skills. Boss level NPCs usually only had three or five skills. Very few NPCs had a complete skill tree. On the other hand, the mixing of different classes was very common.
As for the charge after the event refreshed, it was shown in the brief introduction. If they were serious enough, they would have paid attention to the class composition and combat style of the NPC party at that time.
Happy and Samsara didn't overlook this point. At this moment, the two groups of NPCs spread out in the same formation as in the demo.
The first row seemed to be made up of Knights. After approaching a certain distance, they all raised their shields. Suddenly, there were no players in sight. Lord Grim and One Leaf Of Autumn seemed to have been sealed in a square box.
Then, the sound of cannons rang out. Hidden behind the Knights' shields, the two groups of Gunners were the first to attack. The skills they used were the same: Stingers.
Stingers, ten of each!
This was something that the two teams had noticed when they saw the introduction. Sure enough, they used the same number of skills. Apart from this, the timing of the shots were also the same. As for the flight paths, everyone had originally wondered if they would adjust because of the two players, but now, it seemed that they still maintained the same rhythm as before. In other words, up until now, the two groups of NPCs were still ignoring Lord Grim and One Leaf Of Autumn. The Stingers didn't target the two players.
Bang bang bang bang bang …
Soon after, the Stingers blossomed in the air like fireworks. Each Stinger had eight Stingers, for a total of 160. Even though Lord Grim and One Leaf Of Autumn didn't change the NPC's attack rhythm, the spread of the Stingers still enveloped their positions.
These two had really endured to this extent. Seeing that the Stingers were about to land on them, they still didn't move?
They moved!
The one who moved first was Lord Grim. In the end, the one who couldn't hold back was Ye Xiu?
The normal viewers who didn't understand the subtleties of the situation didn't think much of it. Quite a few people even thought that Ye Xiu reacted quickly. The pro players were greatly surprised. They didn't think that Sun Xiang would be even calmer than Ye Xiu.
Now that Lord Grim moved first, Sun Xiang could finally see the path behind him. But then, he saw Lord Grim raise his arms and dance in a dazzling manner.
Sun Xiang cried … …
Shadow Clone Technique!
Lord Grim had used this skill. Confrontation, patience. Both sides were waiting for the best opportunity to attack, waiting until the NPCs had surrounded them. Ye Xiu couldn't hold back anymore. He made the first move. Lord Grim moved. He ran … …
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
Sun Xiang, who had already realized that the situation wasn't good, instantly used his fastest reaction speed. One Leaf Of Autumn picked up Evil Annihilation and rushed forward, instantly smashing Lord Grim to pieces.
Sun Xiang's heart sank.
Smashing meant that it was a Shadow Clone Technique. Shadow Clone Technique had been used. Lord Grim had already left his position.
Where was he?
Sun Xiang raised One Leaf Of Autumn's view. The first thing he saw was a Stinger right in front of his face. He couldn't dodge it in time.
Boom!
The Stinger's explosion wasn't very powerful, but it was enough to cover a head. At this moment, One Leaf Of Autumn's head seemed to explode.
Sun Xiang's vision was blurred by the flames. He saw Lord Grim crouching on a protrusion on the mountain wall. But just in case, the ninja blade in his right hand was firmly inserted into the mountain wall. Sun Xiang only saw this for a moment. Lord Grim had already swung up, skillfully using his ninja blade to scale the mountain wall.
Confrontation? Patience? Waiting for the best opportunity to attack? Whoever made the first move would lose?
Sun Xiang really didn't know if Ye Xiu had such thoughts. Maybe it was like this at the beginning, but it changed as the situation changed. Or maybe it was all a facade deliberately created from the beginning. It was just a trap to hold him in this situation … …
After the Stingers' bombardment, the two teams of NPCs continued forward. In the pre-match demonstration, the next step was the Charge of the Knights, and then the shields on both sides fiercely slammed together.
Right now, it was the same. The two rows of Knights on the left and right had already charged forward with their shields raised. Only this time, there was One Autumn Leaf in their midst. Sun Xiang was like the cream in the sandwich biscuit.
Clang clang clang clang … …
The shields slammed together one after another, making a heavy, ear-piercing sound of friction. One Leaf Of Autumn didn't get squeezed into cream. The Dragon Breaks The Ranks from before had allowed him to rush to the bottom of the mountain wall. Now, he jumped up, stepped on the mountain wall, and jumped up high. In that instant, he jumped above the colliding shields.
Dragon's Teeth, Double Stab, and a normal attack of Stab.
The Quadruple Stab in the air was completed in an instant, stabbing into the mountain wall, and accurately stabbing into the same spot. The sharp Evil Annihilation Spear finally pierced in. One Autumn Leaf was suspended in midair, his lower body curled up, and he had to crouch in midair to prevent himself from being knocked down by the NPCs below.
"You really have some skill!" Ye Xiu's praise immediately popped up in the chat. Sun Xiang looked up. Ye Xiu had already found another protrusion on the mountain wall. Lord Grim was crouching on top of it. This time, he had put away his ninjato. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was held horizontally in his right hand. The tip of the umbrella was black, revealing the muzzle. His left hand held a grenade. Sun Xiang had just raised One Leaf Of Autumn's head when the grenade was thrown down. Immediately afterwards, three Anti-Tank Missiles were fired.
One Leaf Of Autumn, who was hanging in the air with his legs curled up, was already in a difficult situation. How could he dodge this kind of attack? But the instant the grenade and Anti-Tank Missiles landed, One Leaf Of Autumn's body suddenly shrunk and was squeezed out of the air.
Teleport!
In the previous round, Sun Xiang had chosen to add Teleport to One Leaf Of Autumn's weapon. This round, it was the same.
After the attack was dodged, One Leaf Of Autumn could use this Teleport to find a temporary foothold.
But at that moment, Lord Grim had already raised his right leg and kicked out.
Front Kick!
Then, a figure was pulled out of the air and collided with this kick. One Leaf Of Autumn was sent flying.
The spectating pro players all shook their heads and sighed. In terms of playing mind games, even ten Sun Xiang's wouldn't be Ye Xiu's opponent!
