In this situation, if he directly chased after him, it would be easier for him to run into an ambush. If there were other options, he would always prioritize the other option.
Jump!
Wu Qi didn't have time to think too much. He quickly made a decision. Even though going around the front was the safest way to counterattack, if he went around the front, the opponent would be out of his line of sight for too long. He would have to rely on guesses. If he went around the front, it wasn't impossible for the opponent to suddenly change his route or even retreat.
Air Jump!
It was a skill unique to Assassins. The character could perform a second jump in the air. Jumping onto the slanted ground in front of him would be no problem at all. But when Cruel Silence jumped into the air and looked up, Wu Qi was dumbfounded.
This building didn't have a roof.
Wu Qi hastily had Cruel Silence swing his dagger in the air. This sort of airborne movement could affect the character's body, but it wasn't as effective as some skills or Gunner's recoil. Cruel Silence struggled in the air, but in the end, he wasn't able to step onto the edge of the roof. Just like that, he jumped over a wall.
Of course, he didn't take any damage, but jumping up and down like that wasted a bit of time.
In this bit of time, there might be a Ghost Boundary waiting for him on the other side.
Wu Qi sighed inwardly, but he didn't stop. As soon as he landed, Cruel Silence immediately started running and jumping.
Cruel Silence had now landed in this building. He could see where the roof was and where he could land. Air Jump was a passive skill, so it didn't have a cooldown. Cruel Silence jumped again and landed on the roof.
Jump again!
He didn't rush out, nor did he move forward. This time, he just jumped in place.
His previous mistake had been due to his lack of understanding of the map, but it could also be said that Wu Qi hadn't thought it through enough. After suffering such a small loss, Wu Qi became even more cautious. He didn't dare have Cruel Silence jump directly. He didn't even dare have Cruel Silence approach the edge. He was afraid that if he took a step too far, he would step into One Inch Ash's Ghost Boundary.
Looking up, Wu Qi was able to see One Inch Ash below him.
Sure enough, One Inch Ash was casting. When he jumped up and looked down, he had just finished casting. The power of the Ghost God seeped out of One Inch Ash's Snow Stripe and flowed down...
Wu Qi rejoiced inwardly that he hadn't taken that final step. But when he saw the Ghost God's power condense into a formation, he was stunned.
If the location of this ghost boundary was used to ambush him, wasn't it a little too far off?
Yes, it was too far off.
Some of the spectating pro players had already pointed it out.
"Because his goal isn't to attack," Li Xuan said.
Following this train of thought, the contestants who thought it was "too far off" immediately reacted.
Yes, it was not an attack.
The goal of this Ghost Boundary was not to ambush Cruel Silence, who might catch up to them or appear from the roof. The goal of this Ghost Boundary was to defend.
Of course, Qiao Yifan also saw Cruel Silence jumping in the air to spy on him. However, the Ghost Boundary had already finished casting and could no longer be interrupted. This made him breathe a sigh of relief. After setting up the ghost boundary, he ignored Cruel Silence and One Inch Ash left on his own.
Wu Qi obviously wanted to give chase, but as soon as this thought formed, he suddenly realized how disgusting the ghost boundary One Inch Ash had just set up was.
One Inch Ash wasn't far from his Cruel Silence, but with the addition of this Ghost Boundary, he suddenly felt like he was looking at him from afar. If he continued to chase, Cruel Silence would have to circle around the Ghost Boundary. Compared to this, the broken roof was much more adorable.
Even so, Wu Qi did not hesitate at all. Cruel Silence continued to give chase. After circling around the Ghost Boundary, he saw One Inch Ash pull further away from him, but he still obediently chased after him.
Then, One Inch Ash began casting another Ghost Boundary.
Most of the spectating pro players had already realized what Qiao Yifan was trying to do.
He was very steady. He didn't get carried away just because his previous plan had given him a slight advantage. Even though he had a good chance to counterattack Wu Qi, he didn't do so because his intentions had been firm from the very beginning.
He wanted to return to the team.
A Phantom Demon's greatest use was in group battles. Restricting the opponent and strengthening the team was the best way to utilize a Phantom Demon's abilities in a group battle. Happy that the team needed his strength more than him.
As a result, even though he had a chance, he had no intention of competing with Wu Qi. He only wanted to use this opportunity to quickly regroup with his teammates and contribute his strength to the team as quickly as possible.
As a result, the Ghost Boundaries he set up weren't for offense, but for defense and cover.
Of course, if Wu Qi ignored his Ghost Boundaries and allowed One Inch Ash to step on them, Qiao Yifan obviously wouldn't want to deal a heavy blow to him. However, Wu Qi clearly wasn't that stupid.
His Cruel Silence just obediently circled around these ghost boundaries. Samsara's fans all hoped that he would suddenly explode and do something miraculous, suddenly breaking through Qiao Yifan's Ghost Boundaries. But he didn't. It was as if Wu Qi was completely following Qiao Yifan's train of thought. In the end, he didn't completely stick to Qiao Yifan.
Using the terrain and timing of the Ghost Boundaries, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash successfully regrouped with Samsara's team.
The pro players applauded.
Qiao Yifan's use of the terrain and Ghost Boundaries was naturally worthy of praise, but what everyone admired was his clear sense of teamwork. He wasn't hot-headed. From start to finish, he was very clear about the meaning of his existence in this team. He had done everything in order to come back and play the supporting role of a green leaf for the team.
As a young player, this was truly too rare.
As the pro players applauded, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the expressions of Micrograss's players.
The expressions of Micrograss's players were somewhat uneasy. As soon as Qiao Yifan made a dazzling display, they would be surrounded like pandas. At this time, they could only look at their captain because their captain always had a calm expression and didn't seem to care.
But this time, they discovered that Wang Jiexi's expression wasn't very natural either. It was very serious.
Even their captain was starting to regret letting Qiao Yifan go? Micrograss's players looked at each other in dismay, especially Ghostblade player Zhou Yebai. He had originally been the one who was most concerned about this problem, but Wang Jiexi had dispelled his doubts before. But now, seeing Wang Jiexi's expression, his mood couldn't help but become heavy.
"Captain." Xu Bin quietly called out to Wang Jiexi. He had only joined Micrograss after Qiao Yifan had left, so he didn't have the same emotions as the other Micrograss players. But he also completely understood that Qiao Yifan's outstanding performance had made Micrograss somewhat embarrassed. But because Wang Jiexi hadn't been affected, the negative impact wasn't too great. But now that even Wang Jiexi was somewhat moved, the impact on the entire team was difficult to estimate, especially Zhou Yebai. The burden on his heart was definitely great.
"Pay attention to the match." Wang Jiexi said.
Match?
Micrograss's players were stunned.
So their captain wasn't worried about Qiao Yifan. Did he realize that something was about to happen?
The current situation was somewhat chaotic.
Before, when Jiang Botao had burst forth, Empty Waves had continuously used wave slashes in order to create an opportunity for Du Ming to close in on Dancing Rain.
But Samsara had people covering for him. Happy was happy, but it wasn't as if no one was helping Su Mucheng.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had forcefully switched targets in an attempt to intercept him. Even though Du Ming had easily dodged it, Bao Zi's Invasion had inexplicably thrown a Brick at this moment.
Yes, inexplicably!
At that time, Steamed Bun Invasion had been focused on attacking One Autumn Leaf. If he wanted to switch targets to help, he shouldn't have done it at that moment. If he had switched targets earlier, he would have been able to coordinate with Ye Xiu. Maybe he really would have been able to stop Du Ming's Moon Luring Frost.
But he hadn't.
He had thrown a Brick at a moment when everyone thought that nothing was going to happen.
Du Ming hadn't noticed. He hadn't noticed at all.
Fortunately, Samsara had plenty of people. Someone had seen, someone had warned.
Warning, reacting, reacting.
This Brick had actually been dodged. It could be seen that Bao Zi's Brick hadn't been thrown at the right time. The threat it posed was very limited.
But Samsara's entire team had been given a fright.
Bao Zi's actions were like taking an advanced math exam. The questions were extremely difficult, but then a four-rule mixed operation question suddenly appeared.
Logically speaking, this sort of question shouldn't appear in an advanced math exam. No examinee would be prepared for this sort of question.
This question wouldn't stump the examinee, but it was enough to give the examinee a shock.
However, after the shock was over, the examinee would answer the question honestly. But this was a match. If you weren't careful, the Brick might hit you in the head.
Du Ming had been like this. He hadn't thought that Bao Zi would suddenly give him this sort of question. Because there was no need! Bao Zi had invaded his position at that time. If he attacked him, he wouldn't have been able to threaten him. If you did, are you an amateur or do you think I'm an amateur and easy to bully?
In the end, he didn't know if Bao Zi was an amateur or if he thought someone else was an amateur. In any case, the Brick had come. And so the Brick had come. If Zhou Zekai hadn't seen the prompt, it would have been hard to say. At that time, it had been a chaotic battle. All sorts of attacks had been sent out. It was very likely that Du Ming hadn't noticed the sound of wind behind him.
But because of this fright, he really had been delayed. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim hadn't been able to catch up at first, but with this delay, he had immediately closed in.
Du Ming didn't have time to stick to Dancing Rain. He didn't have time to deal with Baozi. He hastily went to block Lord Grim.
Jiang Botao was in a bit of a predicament now that he had been caught. His wave slashes had been sent out to his heart's content, but Du Ming's Moon Luring Frost hadn't come up. Wasn't that the same as exposing an opening? Dancing Rain's cannons were all pointed at him. Fortunately, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer had turned his fire to cover Empty Waves.
At this moment, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had finally returned. This would undoubtedly add a new variable to the equation.
However, Qiao Yifan, a Phantom Demon, had such a powerful CC support participating in a group battle. This was definitely good news for Happy!
At this moment, the eyes of Happy's supporters lit up.
The pro players outside of the stadium all thought the same. They all knew the value of a Phantom Demon in a group battle. In addition, Qiao Yifan had outstanding foresight and a strong sense of teamwork. With him joining, Happy was like a tiger that had grown wings.
"Whether or not Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash will be the key to victory," Li Xuan concluded. Of course, this might be because they were all Phantom Demons, so he emphasized the importance of the Phantom Demon. At the very least, when he came to this conclusion, quite a few people didn't agree with him.
"Whether or not Happy can cover One Inch Ash is also the key," someone said.
"Isn't that the same thing?" Li Xuan said. Samsara was trying to find a way to interrupt. Happy obviously had to find a way to cover him. That went without saying.
The reactions of both sides were really quick. Baozi's invasion didn't seem to be inexplicable this time. He suddenly attacked Du Ming's Moon Luring Frost. As for Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, it was as if he had completed a relay. He suddenly retreated and rushed towards One Inch Ash.
Cloud Piercer fired his dual guns. One continued to cover Empty Waves, while the other shot towards One Inch Ash.
Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella opened. Qiao Yifan seemed to have known that he would be protected. One Inch Ash had already begun casting.
Before Samsara could find another angle to interrupt him, a Ghost Boundary had been set up.
Sword Boundary! It increased the team's Strength and Intelligence.
Happy's battle strength instantly rose to a new level. And this was only the beginning. Because of Qiao Yifan's return, Samsara had already begun to be on the defensive. They had to restrict One Inch Ash.
